"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. After the foreign minister returns to the country, he will do his best to facilitate this matter!" Qi Qu Qediao said immediately. He was afraid that Liu Che would go back on his word after discussing with the ministers, so he said: "The foreign minister is just talking empty words.

I'm afraid the Chanyu won't believe it, so please ask Your Majesty to write a letter of credence in your own hand..."

Liu Che nodded and said, "Of course..."

It’s just a few words, a piece of paper, and it doesn’t cost a lot of money!

If something unexpected happens or new changes occur in the future, Liu Che can directly turn his back and refuse to admit his fault.

If the Huns have the ability, come and file a lawsuit!

As for defrauding people, will it cause problems with the emperor's credibility?

Don’t worry about this!

The Han family had a system: any imperial edict that was not archived, even if the emperor himself acknowledged it, was still waste paper!

Historically, Dou Ying took the imperial edict written by Liu Che's father and stamped with the emperor's seal, but it was still judged as a "false edict".

What Liu Che bullied was that the Huns did not understand Chinese rules.

After receiving this guarantee, Qi Qu Qie Diao was completely relieved.

It is true that the reputation of the Han Dynasty in the past was too good.

After the two kings reach an agreement, they must fulfill the agreement.

"Then what conditions does Your Majesty need to release King Zhelan and King Aries, as well as the captured nobles of our country?" Qiqu Qediaonan asked.

This is also the most important mission of his trip.

Although, Qiqu Qiediaonan doesn't care about the life or death of King Zhelan and King Aries.

But Shan Yuting cared very much.

Whether it was for the sake of face or to revive Zhelan and Aiyang, the two former Huns thugs, Shan Yuting would redeem the captured nobles at all costs.

As for those pawns and lower nobles?

Both the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty would selectively forget them in such diplomatic occasions.

"When will the Chanyu return the last Han people who were kidnapped to me? I will release the last captured Xiongnu noble..." Liu Che blinked his eyes and said shamelessly: "It depends on the Chanyu

…”

Of course Qi Qu Qie Diao Nan knew this was nonsense.

The captured soldiers and civilians of the Han Dynasty were scattered on the vast grassland. The oldest group was already fifty-six years ago.

Trying to find them is like dreaming!

Even among the people who were captured and held hostage in the past twenty or thirty years, I am afraid that not many can be found in a short period of time.

The grassland stretches for tens of thousands of miles. Even if one tribe is found one by one, it will probably take at least twenty or thirty years to complete the search.

Will the captured nobles be released after twenty or thirty years?

It is estimated that these guys are already dead, and there is no debate whether the Xiongnu Chanyu and the current emperor of the Han Dynasty are still alive.

But this has nothing to do with Qi Qu Qi Diao Di Di.

At this moment, he was not considering the issue from the Huns' point of view.

He also did not consider the problem on the side of the Han Dynasty.

The place he stands on is his own side.

As long as it is good for him, he will do it with all his strength.

And now he urgently needs political achievements to prove to both Shan Yu and the Han emperor that he is indeed very useful!

How to prove it?

Of course, the purpose was to make both the Chanyu and the Han Dynasty comfortable.

To be honest, it is difficult to achieve balance and consistency in this kind of thing.

Fortunately, he didn't need the Xiongnu country to be comfortable, he just wanted to make the Chanyu comfortable.

When the Chanyu is comfortable, he will be promoted and make a fortune. When the Han emperor is comfortable, he will pay attention to his opinions and suggestions. This will help him continue to rely on the Han Dynasty and put pressure on the Xiongnu to achieve his goal of promotion and wealth.

Because, in Qiequ Qiediao's view, his current status was entirely due to the Han Dynasty's defeat of the Xiongnu, so Shan Yuting valued his "diplomatic talent."

What if, one day, the Han Dynasty can no longer defeat the Xiongnu?

Then he will lose value.

If it loses value, it will return to its original form.

This is like the kneeling office. If there are no more people to kneel and lick, the yamen will be abolished. If the yamen is abolished, there will be no establishment and leadership. Without establishment and leadership, there will be no kneeling office.

Therefore, the kneeling and licking office will definitely do everything possible to protect its kneeling and licking partner, treating him as a father. If there is a problem, it will only say: we must not kneel and lick hard enough, or the method of kneeling and licking is wrong. Change the posture and kneel again.

Give it a lick!

Then they shamelessly ask for funding, policies, staffing, and levels from their superiors.

The same is true for the canal and the difficulty of carving.

Therefore, Qi Qu Qie Diao Nan thought for a while, and then said to Liu Che: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister has a suggestion. I wonder if your Majesty is willing to listen to it?"

"Your Majesty, please tell me..." Liu Che said with a smile.

"King Aries, King Zhelan, and many nobles of our country were coerced and deceived by the traitor Yin Zhixie. They violated the treaty agreed between the Han and Xiongnu monarchs and entered the border of the Han Dynasty. According to the treaty agreed between the two monarchs, even if your Majesty is

It's okay to kill them..." Qiqu Qediaonan said flatteringly.

This is indeed true in theory.

According to the peace treaty between Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowen and the Xiongnu elder Chanyu, the Han Dynasty could kill the Xiongnu when they left the fortress, and the Han Dynasty could kill the Xiongnu when they entered the fortress. This was affirmed and confirmed by the monarchs of the two countries.

From the moment Yin Zhixie, Zhelan, Aries, and Loufan crossed Wuzhou Fortress, the Han Dynasty had the legal power to execute them all.

Liu Che also smiled and nodded.

Sure enough, everything has two sides.

The enemy's traitors and sycophants are our greatest arms.

Liu Che then said with appreciation: "If everyone in your country is a reasonable person like the envoy, then the Han and Hungarian countries will definitely be able to maintain permanent friendship and eliminate military conflicts!"

"Don't..." Qiqu Qediaonan said in his heart: "If the Han Dynasty stops stirring up trouble, attacking and defeating the Xiongnu, then what use will I have?"

But on his lips, Qi Qu Qi Diao Nan was full of smiles and said: "Your Majesty, you praise me..."

"Envoy, please continue speaking..." Liu Che waved his hand.

"What the foreign minister means..." Qiqu Qediaonan raised his head and looked at Liu Che and said, "Your Majesty might as well offer a more realistic price and conditions. As long as it is not too exaggerated, Shanyu will agree..."

This sentence immediately sold the Huns' bottom line and position completely.

Liu Che knew immediately that the Huns were eager to resolve the aftermath of the Battle of Mayi and step down.

Military ministers now urgently need a step to step down!

"The messenger might as well give me a warning..." Liu Che said with a smile: "What kind of conditions can Shanyu accept?"

Liu Che clapped his hands, and Wang Dao immediately understood. He immediately had someone carry a box to Qi Qu Qie Diao Nan, and then opened it, revealing the neatly stacked gold cakes inside.

A hundred gold cakes were placed in front of Qiqu Qiediao, and he immediately lost all ability to resist.

Gold is indeed the most effective hard currency used everywhere in the world!

"Your Majesty, the Chanyu is willing to pay your Majesty 10,000 horses or 100,000 livestock in order to redeem King Aries, King Zhelan, and nobles above Guduhou..." Qiqu Qediaonan licked his lips and swallowed.

Tumo said: "In addition, Shanyu also promised to do everything in his power to return the captured people and soldiers of your country to your country..."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Che himself was shocked.

Originally, Liu Che thought that the Huns would be able to keep their promise and return the captured Han people, and that would be Amitabha.

Unexpectedly, the military officials were willing to give war horses and livestock?

Holy crap!

Liu Che almost couldn't help shouting.

And this further proves the urgency of the Huns' westward advance.

If the military minister had not made up his mind to march westward, he would not have been able to do so.

This is ten thousand war horses or one hundred thousand livestock!

Calculated according to market price, a rogue horse today, even the worst one, is worth 10,000 yuan!

As for war horses, even Hun horses are worth 30,000 to 50,000. If they are in good condition, they cost at least 100,000.

In other words, the Huns were willing to pay at least 30,000,000 yuan in war compensation.

This amount of money has exceeded the value of the one million gold and five bahts ordered by Liu Che to be minted.

"Ma Dan, the Huns are really rich!" Liu Che thought in his heart: "No, they really have livestock!"

But thinking about it, it seems that this small amount of livestock is of no importance to the Xiongnu.
