"Born by heaven and earth, placed by the sun and the moon, the life of the Huns!" In the spacious Xuanshu Palace, an old friend of the people of the Han Dynasty, who was difficult to carve respectfully, but with some domineering, said: "The foreign minister respectfully asks the emperor if he is okay!" ”

Liu Che sat on the throne and watched the performance of this old friend.

At this moment, he definitely felt the diplomatic changes brought about by the balance of power between Han and Hungary.

In the past, when the Xiongnu envoys came to Chang'an, they saluted, at least superficially, as a courtier, a subordinate, and a minion.

Although the Huns wanted to take advantage of the national credentials.

However, in terms of diplomatic etiquette, especially the pilgrimage of the envoys, there will never be domineering threats and blackmail.

They will try their best to learn from the appearance of the Han Dynasty scholars, be gentle and polite, and show the Han monarchs and ministers the view that the Huns are not barbarians.

But now, it's the other way around.

The Xiongnu letter in Liu Che's hand has quietly returned to the same specifications as the Han Dynasty's letter to the Xiongnu.

That is, one foot and one inch.

Although it is still 'born of heaven and earth, placed by the sun and the moon, the Huns are in the ......'

But there are a few more words at the end.

became: Heaven and earth placed the Huns in the birthday month to ask the Han Emperor if the Son of Heaven was safe'.

Although the Chinese emperor and the Son of Heaven have the same meaning.

However, acknowledging the Chinese emperor as the Son of Heaven meant that the Huns had given up their plan to overpower the Han family.

However, on the envoy's side, he no longer has the gentle and polite gentlemanly demeanor of the past, but a good and proud model of 'I am Yidi, who am I afraid of'.

This made Liu Che look at it, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Isn't this a prequel to the love-hate entanglement between Neon and Tu Dynasty in later generations?" Liu Che thought in his heart.

In the eighties and nineties of the twentieth century. The neon political and business worlds, although they all think that the Tu Dynasty is a dirt bun. But, in action and in words. But they still shouted with a strip of water and got along with each other.

At that time, the neon had the courage to swallow the world and dominate the blue star.

However, when the Tu Dynasty surpassed Neon in both GDP and military, it was in an all-round way.

Let's take a look at the parties in power, or those parties, the politicians on the stage. is still the disciple and grandson of those politicians back then.

However, both words and deeds and demeanor have completely changed from before.

Why?

It's actually quite simple.

In the eighties and nineties, Tu Chao was a poor bun, maybe he would burp one day.

In that case, of course Neon will be very friendly.

And, when the Tu Dynasty rises, it surpasses the neon in an all-round way.

That's how things changed.

The younger brother has become a big man, and he still has a big stick in his hand. No matter how you look at it, it's the yellow hair setting that wants NTR.

In order not to be NTR, and considering the grievances in history, the choice of neon people is naturally normal.

Today the situation is different. But the principle is the same.

The change in the contrast of strength between the Han and the Huns made the Xiongnu have to lose their pretended gentlemanly demeanor and instead perform rudeness.

Their ideas cannot be said to be wrong.

After all. Bluffing and inward-winding are the instinctive reactions of human beings when they are at a disadvantage.

It's just that. The Huns' acting level was too pitiful, so they became as nondescript as they are now.

"Probably I should be afraid and hateful ......," Liu Che pondered the thoughts of the Huns. I think this may be realistic.

After all, if you suddenly find out one day that the neighbor's little bit, who was once pressed to the ground and beaten by you when you were a child, suddenly became a big dog and a bunch of dog legs, I'm afraid you will also worry about whether the other party will hold a grudge against the events of the year and deliberately wear small shoes for yourself.

"Please convey my greetings to Shan Yu on my behalf!" Liu Che put down the letter of state with a smile and said: "As for what Shan Yu said in the letter of state, please tell Shan Yu: Emperor Taizong, the ancestor of the Emperor, and your country have an agreement: within the Great Wall, the room of the crown belt, and the emperor will rule it!" Outside the Great Wall, the people who lead the bow are governed alone! I have no intention of governing the Great Wall, so I should not mention this matter again, unless Shan Yu helps me build a Great Wall in the Hetao......"

And the canal and the carving were ugly, he smiled, and said: "Your Majesty said that you are laughing!" ”

Of course, he knew the mission of his trip.

So, he said again: "Your Majesty, don't you think about it anymore?" ”

"My lord Da Dan Yu only needs 10,000 pairs of iron armor and 50,000 sets of bow and crossbow armor, and he is willing to offer the Hetao with both hands as a model of permanent peace between Han and Hungary!"

"10,000 pairs of iron armor, 50,000 sets of bow and crossbow armor...... Liu Che sneered twice in his heart: "The military minister has drunk fake wine, right?" ”

If you hadn't drunk fake wine, how could you be so stupid!

This situation, in Liu Che's view, is like Emperor Mi telling Tu Chao in the later generation: Give your brother a trillion small money, and then forgive all debts, not only bend, but also give it to my brother with both hands, and Guam also to my brother!

And the question is - Tu Chao, bend may be as tight as you want, but, Guam, dare to ask for it?

Besides, wouldn't it be better to use this money to develop armaments and find an opportunity to fight?

The same is true today.

"Please go back and tell Shan Yu that I really don't want any land outside the Great Wall!" Liu Che said categorically: "If your envoy has nothing else to do, please go down and rest!" ”

It is difficult to see this, and it has been understood that no matter what the emperor of the Han Dynasty thinks.

The temptation is useless.

People don't talk to you about this at all, so how can you try it?

There was no way, he could only bow his head and bow: "Since this is the case, then the foreign minister must convey His Majesty's original words to my lord!" ”

After a pause, he said again: "In addition, the foreign minister was ordered to come to see Your Majesty, and there are two other things, I beg Your Majesty to allow it!" ”

"Tell me about the messenger......" Liu Che nodded and said: "As long as it's not too difficult, I will naturally give Shan Yu face!" ”

The meaning of this is actually - no matter what, it is quite difficult!

The key depends on whether you Huns are willing to give benefits.

And it has been difficult to go out for so many years, so he naturally knows how to deal with the Han Dynasty, and he can hear it. The hidden meaning in the words of the Han Dynasty.

He bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, this is the first thing. That's it--my lord Da Shan Yu misses the Beihai Clan, and I ask Your Majesty to allow the Ran's to return to visit relatives in the court......"

matter. For the Huns now, it is very important.

Especially when the loop cannot be tempted, this problem immediately becomes apparent.

This is related to whether the Han Dynasty is willing to continue to live in peace and friendship with the Xiongnu.

If the Han Dynasty really had the intention of being an enemy of the Xiongnu, then it was naturally impossible for the Beihai clan to go back to visit their relatives.

Otherwise, it is likely to approve the matter!

In order to strengthen the tentative significance of this move, he said respectfully: "In addition, my lord Da Dan Yu also heard about the Beihai clan. For His Majesty to give birth to a princess, my lord Da Shan Yu also wants to see his granddaughter, so I ask Your Majesty to agree - Beihai Yan and the princess, return to Shan Yu Court, so that Shan Yu's father and daughter can reunite and share the joy of family! ”

"Also, my lord Dashan Yu Youzi said: Yu Shan, Prince Yu Shan is wise and martial, handsome and extraordinary. I have been set up as the king of the day by my lord Da Dan Yu, and my lord Da Shan Yu wants to propose to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to marry a princess of the Han family. and Prince Yu Dan, married and married! ”

"My lord has made a big promise that if His Majesty is willing to marry a princess. He was appointed as the left lady of Yu Shan, and the future was the Great Hun Yan. Share the authority of the Huns with Shan Yu! ”

These bombshells were thrown one after another.

The minister of the Han family in the palace. They were all taken aback.

"It's a bloody investment!" Liu Che thought in his heart.

Liu Che knew very well that the concubines of the Xiongnu clan, like the Khitans, were all selected from a fixed number of tribes.

The Su Clan has never chosen a woman other than those clans as a precedent for the Shan Clan.

But the military ministers now want to break this routine.

Set up a princess from China as the future of the Shan Yu clan.

What this means, Liu Che knows very well.

"Why are the military ministers smart again......"

To tell the truth, if it weren't for Liu Che's decision to fight the Xiongnu within three or five years.

I'm afraid he's already pounding.

Although the marriage of great powers will never lead to anything like friendship and friendship lasting forever.

But at the very least, such a marriage can ensure that the two countries have a certain common language.

Back then, when the Qin and Jin dynasties fought for hegemony, although the two countries often met each other in arms, the relationship between the two offices was still good.

Gongzi Xiaobai returned to China and ascended the throne under the escort of the Qin State.

It's a pity that the Han and the Xiongnu are not Qin and Jin, and what the two countries are fighting for is not hegemony.

It's about who in this world has the final say.

In this way, there will inevitably be a war between Han and Hungary.

Moreover, the hatred between the two countries has accumulated for decades.

Even if Liu Che was a virgin, he couldn't stop his courtiers and people from strongly demanding revenge on the Xiongnu.

As for Xia Rouge?

Liu Che pursed his lips, and then said: "Please tell your country Shan Yu, father and daughter reunite, ancestors and grandchildren get together, this world is normal, how can I stop it?" It's just that it's summer now, and autumn and winter are coming, and I pity Mrs. Xia and the princess, and worry that they can't travel long distances, and next spring, let's talk about this matter again! ”

"When the time comes, I will send an envoy to escort the lady and princess to the Dragon City of your country, and meet Shan Yu to enjoy this family fun!"

Anyway, let's drag it out first, see how the Huns advance westward, and then decide on the next move.

Moreover, in fact, Xia Rouge went back to save his relatives, which was good for Liu Che.

This first point, Xia Rouge went back, which could help Liu Che find out the reactions of the various factions in the Xiongnu country.

Secondly, and most importantly: such a thing as going back to visit relatives through Xia Rouge, especially on an occasion like the Dragon City Conference, appears publicly.

can tell many leaders and nobles of the Xiongnu tribes: In fact, the Han people and the Xiongnu are of the same ancestry.

You Xiongnu are the descendants of Chunwei, and Chunwei is the son of Xia Wei.

The Han and the Xiongnu are from the same source.

This matter, but your Shan Yu has recognized and recognized it.

So, when the Han army defeats the main force of the Xiongnu in the future, this matter will be able to become a nuclear weapon.

The leaders of those small tribes were more easily persuaded by the Han army to submit to and recognize Liu Che's hegemony, and accept canonization and appointment from Liu Che.

When the time comes, Liu Che can take this opportunity to pull the Su Yu clan off the horse and go to be a Tianshan Yu by himself!

Since it is Tiandanyu, it is very reasonable to canonize one hundred and eighty kings on the grassland and transform shamanism a little.

In this way, the nomads of the steppe will be emasculated and spiritual, at least for two or three hundred years, don't think about relieving themselves.

And the world in two or three hundred years?

I'm afraid it's already a world of queues to shoot and steam trains roaring.

In this way, the nomads on the steppe will never be able to endanger China again.

As for the so-called marrying princess?

Liu Che thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "As for Prince Yu Shan, wait for Mrs. Xia to talk to Shan Yu when the time comes, I believe that Mrs. Xia, as the eldest sister of the prince, will definitely choose a good match for the prince!" ”

He bowed deeply and said: "Your Majesty is kind, and the foreign minister will definitely tell my lord!" ”

He knew that he had confirmed one thing - the Han Dynasty had no idea of going to war with the Xiongnu for the time being, at least not next year!

If it weren't for this, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty would not agree to let his concubine and daughter go to Dragon City.

As for next year and beyond, only God knows!

Even so, this information is crucial, which means that the Xiongnu can rest assured that they can go west without worrying about a fire behind their buttocks!

So, he can confidently and boldly make a second request.

He bowed down and said, "There is one more matter, on behalf of my lord, please consider ...... Your Majesty."

"Messenger, please speak......" Liu Che snapped his fingers, he now knew that the Huns' calculations were nothing more than to know if it was possible for Liu Che to poke their chrysanthemums when they were heading west.

After all, the Huns were still very smart.

Poke the Xiongnu chrysanthemum, this is an inevitable thing.

However, Liu Che must wait until the main force of the Xiongnu is far away from the Western Regions and enters Central Asia, and then he will play this hand.

Of course, Liu Che also believed that the Xiongnu would not fall westward, and they must have left enough troops in their rear, enough to resist the Han army for more than a year.

It's just that......

The Huns will soon find out that they are outrageously wrong.

Today's Han army is already very different from last year's Han army.

And the Han army two or three years later is certainly not comparable to today.

At least, those vanguards, those elites who took the lead out of the fortress, must be all cuirassiers when the time comes.

Historically, the cavalry of the Han army, equipped with stirrups and crossbows, could fight five at a time, and the Huns who chased them ran all over the mountains.

Nowadays, the cavalry of the Han army, which is more luxuriously equipped, can fight six or even seven?

Liu Che is looking forward to the answer to this question.

"My lord wants to expand trade with your country!" He said: "Your Majesty will generously allow our country to purchase siege vehicles, bed crossbows, ladders, bows, crossbows, halberds, iron pots, leather armor, chain mail, and crossbow machines!" ”

"In exchange, my lord is willing to trade horses, cattle and sheep, and slaves!"

"The price can be negotiated, and the transaction method can also be negotiable, but I hope that the first batch of transactions can be as soon as possible, and it is best that it can be concluded now!" He looked at Liu Che and said very respectfully: "I hope Your Majesty can allow it!" (To be continued.) )
