Liu Jinghuo went out, obviously bluffing and trying to be tempting, but he performed it vividly and vividly.

Although he always secretly speculated that with the emperor's strategy and foresight, he must have been prepared for the changes in the Yan Kingdom, but to say that Liu Ji even saw the move of the King of Yan to buy horses is pure nonsense.

The Xiongnu have always been very cautious about the sale of horses, especially in the era of constant disputes with the Central Plains peoples.

It's just that Yan Wang Zang Di has been showing favor to the Xiongnu in every way for many years, and has repeatedly given gifts, obviously treating the Xiongnu as a reliance and his own retreat;

And for Maudun, such an open fire to make a military deal with the King of Yan can be regarded as a bold attempt by his idea of entering Middle-earth.

Perhaps because the process of conquering the steppe was too smooth, his ambition continued to expand, and he even coveted the unknown land within the Great Wall that his ancestors had never set foot in.

Regarding Shan Yu's adventure, the Huyan clan, the mother of the Da Yan clan, and several other noble surnames, all thought that it was too radical.

At the moment, the filthy and cautious countries east of the territory of King Zuoxian, as well as the Yueshi clan to the west of King Youxian's territory, although they were driven away, they were far from completely surrendering, and from time to time they would resurrect and fight back.

If the chicken stealing fails, and the Han Dynasty is provoked to send troops, wouldn't it be in a state of being attacked on three sides?

Moreover, the leaders were not very interested in the territory promised by the King of Yan that would be ceded to the Xiongnu after seizing the Central Plains.

"In those fields, there is not even a root of alfalfa, and there are no cattle and sheep to feed, so they can only grow some crops.

But who of us Huns will farm? Is it possible to catch some Han people to farm?

Wouldn't it be necessary to send another guard over them? You have to always be on guard against being snatched back by the Han people. ”

The leaders of the three noble surnames complained in private, although the utensils of the Han land were good, but if they really tied people firmly to the Central Plains, the water and soil were not adapted, and the gains outweighed the losses.

It is a pity that since the day of the murder of his father, he has been arbitrary, and the tribal leader's council has long been in vain.

Therefore, everyone watched as King Youxian Ai Nen secretly transported a large number of fine war horses to the border of Yan State, and could only knock on the side and persuade each other politely, but he did not dare to directly oppose it.

Liu Jing didn't know the background of this, but he deeply remembered the queen's advice, the Huns were also people, and the court of the Huns, like the court of Luoyang, was full of intrigue and power games.

Therefore, suspicious of the dark ghost, he accidentally stumbled into it, and happened to step on the deepest hidden worries of Mao Dun Dan.

On the surface, he is reluctant to disagree, but deep down, he is not very reassured-

He couldn't believe in the strength of Yan Wang Zang Di, nor his promise.

If he really fails because of his credulity, he will not be able to continue the supreme glory of his words on this grassland in the future.

***

Liu Jing is the best at observing words and feelings, he found that he seemed to be right, his confidence doubled, and he continued to open his mouth.

"Our emperor understands the reason why the Huns sold horses, and he doesn't plan to care about this matter.

He just wants to ask you not to send troops, and, wait a few months, and the war will come to an end. ”

"What if I have to help Yan Guo?" Mao Dun grinded his teeth and said fiercely.

"Sending troops is too cost-effective for you.

Along the way, the minister saw that there were foals and lambs that had just been born this spring, which was a rare and good year.

I heard that summer is the time when they grow fast, and it is also the season when the herders need to take care of it.

There is already a shortage of labor on the grasslands, and if you send troops, you will have to send all the men to join the army, and the rest of the old and weak women and children will have to drive the herd and keep up with the migration of the large army.

In this way, it is difficult to say how many of these lambs will survive. ”

Although he was in the smelly felt tent, Liu Jing felt that he had returned to his best home field, and he talked eloquently, and the more he talked, the more calmly he became.

The wind seemed to blow on his cheeks again, and the people sitting in front of him at this moment seemed to be no longer aliens, but just another group of Nono people who had been defeated under his three-inch tongue.

He knows very well that persuading Da Shan Yu is the same as persuading Liu Jiqian back then, and the key is to make the other party think from the bottom of his heart that he is standing on their position and sincerely thinking about them.

Sacrificing the good harvest that was running all over the mountains in front of him for an unsatisfactory future, he expected that Mao Dun would not be willing to gamble on such a loss-making business.

What's more, Zang Di may not be able to win.

Seeing that Mao Dun fell into deep thought, Liu Jing took advantage of the victory to pursue, and talked endlessly to the next city,

"Just Yan Wang Zang Di, there is nothing to be afraid of at all.

If he really beat the emperor, why did he willingly elect my lord in the first place?

Besides, you know, Han warfare, unlike the grassland, needs to prepare grain and grass in advance.

Look at the gifts sent by Zang Di, the quality and quantity are small, as if you have the strength to prepare a large amount of grain and grass?

Such a shabby Yan country, even if it wins against the sky, what kind of compensation can it give you? ”

Lao Nie's translation speed on the side was far from keeping up with Liu Jing, he translated a few sentences, and then squinted at Liu Jing, his eyes were not only respectful, but he was a little impressed.

***

In the end, Liu Jing looked around at the silent prince and Ake Wei and others, and ended perfectly with an earth-shattering sentence,

"If you don't believe in your ministers, you can do that.

You keep the minister's life first, and the minister lives in the felt tent on the side, and accompanies you to watch the situation quietly.

The minister dared to predict that Zang Di would shake the tree with a grasshopper, and within three months, he would definitely be defeated.

As for whether to befriend the Great Emperor or not, it is not too late for you to make a decision at that time.

If what the minister says is deceitful, no matter if the big order is to be imprisoned or cut off by the minister, there is no complaint. ”

Lao Nie had already heard it stupidly, and after finishing the translation, he said to Liu Jing a little embarrassed,

"The Huns didn't have the word 'chop', and they didn't have a prison, and they didn't have a place to hold you.

But they seem to have a kind of punishment, which is to tie people to the back of galloping horses and drag them to death, even if it is capital punishment on the grassland. ”

"Translate it however you want, chop it or drag it to death, anyway, I don't think it will be needed on my head."

Liu Jing smiled, and while everyone was still silently digesting, he quietly rubbed the sweat in his palm on the bamboo.

I could only hear the wick of the oil lamp crackling from time to time, which added to the deathly silence in the tent.

Finally, Maudun spoke,

"I understand what you say, so go back to the yurt and wait."

Liu Jing exhaled softly, saluted, faced the people in the tent, raised his feet and slowly retreated.

Lao Nie said that this is the etiquette of the Huns' exit, and it is also always on guard against someone coming forward to insert a knife in the back.

His legs were a little weak, but he gritted his teeth and held on, holding on to this point in one breath, so he couldn't lose face when he left the field.

Before he retreated to the door, he suddenly heard Mao Dun muttering something again, and Lao Nie hurriedly said,

"Wait, just say that he was so dizzy by your chatter that he almost forgot to ask—

Have you ever heard of a ...... called Zhong Zhong Li's general? ”
