Outside Gaoliu City, there were felt tents everywhere.
In a felt tent guarded by Shan Yu's bodyguards, King Yan Xi, who was full of stinking odor, had his eyes wide open and was indignant.
"Two hundred gold?"
"Damn it, the king of the Gu Kingdom of Yan, a descendant of Ji's bloodline and a descendant of Duke Zhao, the King of Qin only offered a reward of two hundred gold to him!"
"It's unreasonable, it's just too much!"
King Yan was very angry.
You must know that his son Yan Dan was offered a reward of thousands of gold by the King of Qin, but as the real King of Yan, he was only offered a reward of two hundred gold. This was simply an insult to him.
Not to mention that in front of Touman Shanyu, he had made such nonsense, saying that he was worth a thousand pieces of gold, and described himself as being worth a lot of money.
Unexpectedly, after Hu Yanzi, the Marquis of Zuogudu, came back from the Qin army, he exposed this bullshit and made him very embarrassed.
However, after being angry, Yan Wangxi calmed down and felt deep fear again.
"Then how could Zhao Tuo agree to this condition! Thirty thousand shi of grain is worth two hundred gold in this generation. Adding ten carts of pearls and jade cloth, it's still four to five hundred gold. How could Zhao Tuo be willing to agree?
? Not to mention armor and weapons, does he dare to hand these things over to the barbarians? How dare he!"
King Yan roared out in fear, his hands shaking unconsciously.
The Huns had always been profit-oriented, so when faced with the actual benefits offered by the Qin people, they made up their minds to sell him.
King Yan knew that he was in danger. In order to survive from this crack, he came up with a way to raise his own value and make the Huns break the contract and increase the price, thus angering the Qin army.
It would be best to let the Xiongnu and Qin people fight, so that he can find a chance to survive from this crisis.
The development of the matter was just as he expected. After hearing King Yan's nonsense, the greedy Touman Shanyu was really attracted by the huge benefits, broke the agreement with the Qin people on the set date, and temporarily increased the price.
According to Yan Wangxi's understanding of the Qin people, food and cloth were okay, but weapons and equipment were strictly controlled, making it almost impossible to trade them to the barbarians.
But I didn't expect that the Qin general Zhao Tuo actually agreed, and he agreed very readily. He made an agreement with Zuogu Duhou on the spot that the Qin army would spend three days raising supplies, and they would be able to send them out after three days.
Come and exchange the joy of King Yan with them.
"If it falls into the hands of the Qin people, Gu will no longer have any chance of survival. Gu can never sit here and wait for death. If you want to survive at this moment, the only way is to provoke the Huns and the Qin army to go to war."
"The Huns are greedy for profit, so I'm afraid they won't take action. In this case, we can only intimidate them, saying that the Qin army is pretending to agree, but it is actually a trick to attack Qin, so as to persuade the Huns to take the initiative to attack the Qin army.
"
King Yan was in a desperate situation, and his desire to survive made his mind more alert and he quickly came up with a plan.
He ran out of the tent and shouted: "I want to see the Shanyu! I want to see the Shanyu!"
…
About an hour later.
In a huge dome.
The Xiongnu Touman Chanyu and the various Xiongnu nobles who had gone south this time were discussing what had just happened.
"Then King Yan said that the general of Qin State was pretending to agree to our conditions, but in fact he wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack on us."
Touman Chanyu sat leisurely on the bed, scanning the people in the tent.
Hearing this, Zuogu Duhou Huyanzhu immediately shouted: "Da Shanyu, you didn't see the appearance of that Qin general today. He is just a child with no hair. When you see my appearance,
, just like a sheep seeing a wolf, it is very scared.”
"He said that their Qin army only wanted to conquer Dai, and had never had any ill intentions towards us Huns. They only wanted to buy the King of Yan away with money. As for starting a war with us, that was even more impossible. So.
What King Yan said about a sneak attack just now must be because he was afraid that we would sell him to the Qin people, so he specifically spoke out to provoke him."
Touman Shanyu smiled: "The captured old sheep will naturally think of various ways to escape. It is normal for friends in the grassland to say these things."
Touman Shanyu thought about the sharp weapons he saw in the hands of the Qin army when the two armies were facing each other, and his eyes could not help but flash with fear and envy.
"Although the sheep in the south are cowardly, the horns on their heads are very sharp. If the warriors in my tent can all use the weapons made by the Qin people, they may be able to have more powerful force and defeat those damn enemies.
"
Although the Xiongnu occupied the center of the grassland, there were powerful enemies on both sides.
Compared with the Guandai people in the south, the Yuezhi in the west and the Donghu in the east were the real threats to the Huns.
Just when Touman Chanyu dismissed King Yan's proposal, other Xiongnu nobles also thought that these were provocative words spoken by King Yan in order to survive.
A slightly childish voice sounded from the tent.
"Ploughing Gutu Shanyu, I think that although the old sheep said these words in order to survive, the Qin people in the south also need to be careful."
"The grain we asked for from them was so huge, and the large quantities of pearls, jade, cloth, and weapons and armor were all so precious. But the Qin general was not stingy at all and agreed immediately. Isn't this questionable?
?”
As the voice fell, silence fell in the tent.
Immediately afterwards came the shrill voice of Zuogu Du Hou Huyanzhu: "What Prince Modu said is very good, but it is wrong."
"Because the things the generals of Qin gave us all belonged to the Dai country that had just been destroyed. They only exchanged Dai's grain and cloth with us. For them, there was no loss at all."
"As for the weapons and armor we ask for, there are tens of thousands of Qin people. If you give us one thousand, it will be as simple and easy for them as plucking a hair from an ox."
"Buying that old sheep back will not only bring them a bounty, but also allow them to be promoted in the Qin State. They are naturally willing to exchange for such a huge benefit. Is there anything doubtful about this?
?”
"As for what the old sheep said, the Qin people may come back to attack us. Hahaha, my grassland warriors are much more numerous and powerful than them. Do a group of sheep from the south dare to challenge the wolves from the north?
"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hu Yanzi looked very excited, because this time the deal between the Huns and the Qin people was brokered by him.
When the deal is completed, his tribe will receive a lot of benefits, so Hu Yanzi is naturally determined to promote this matter, not to mention that he thinks that what King Yan and Mao Dun said are all nonsense.
Touman Shanyu turned his head and looked at a young man with braids and a half-moon scar on his forehead.
That's his son, Maodun.
Touman Shanyu said: "The Qin people in the south are interested in their titles. It is a very precious thing, far more valuable than the grain and cloth they give us, so they are willing to trade. This is not necessary.
Doubtful. What Lao Yang said was just a wish to survive before death, so don’t take it seriously."
Prince Modun was still a young man, and he had an idea in his mind, so he said it on the spot. He said: "What the Chanyu said is true. I just saw that these Qin people clearly have tens of thousands of troops, but they didn't even tell the price, so I agreed.
We asked for it, so I have some doubts. I heard from the elders of the clan that more than ten years ago, the general of the Zhao Kingdom was..."
"go out!"
The voice of suppressed anger sounded in the dome.
Touman Chanyu's face turned red and he stared at his son with his eyes.
What happened more than ten years ago was an eternal pain in his heart.
Maodun was shocked to realize that Shanyu was angry, and immediately retreated tremblingly.
Behind him was Zuo Guduhou with a gloating smile on his face.
For young people who cannot speak, it is better to speak less.
Outside the Qionglu.
The wind smelling of horse shit blew into Mao Dun's nose.
He looked at the dome where Shanyu was and clenched his fists.
"Ever since that woman gave birth to a son, the Chanyu's love for me has become less and less every day."
…
Affected by Yan Wangxi's words, Touman Shanyu, although he seemed indifferent on the surface, still sent out cavalry to patrol around and be vigilant.
But this wariness was dispelled a lot on the second day.
Because the Qin people's envoy arrived early.
This time, they also took the initiative to bring the first batch of grain to show the sincerity of the Qin people.
Tomorrow's third update, I will finish writing the plot between the Xiongnu and King Yan.
It’s the last day for double monthly passes, please vote!
"Historical Records: Biography of the Huns": The Chanyu had a prince named Maodun. Later, he fell in love with the Yan family and gave birth to a young son. However, the Chanyu wanted to depose Maodun and established a young son.
There is no record of Mao Dun's age in the history books, but he will kill his father and ascend to power in thirteen years. At this time, it seems that he should be ten years old or older, or even much older.
