"The Xiongnu have already established their country a long time ago. It seems that there is no need for me, the great merchant, to give me a title! Besides, the Xiongnu royal court dominates the grassland, with a population of nearly one million, and countless cattle, sheep and horses. What I want is for you Xiongnu
It doesn’t seem like much.”
The Huns envoy gritted his teeth and finally realized that Zhao Rui did it on purpose.
"Father, don't forget that our Huns army is still outside the city and can attack the city at any time!"
Zhao Rui's face was filled with disdain.
"There are only tens of thousands of remaining soldiers. Moreover, the Rouran army has retreated. You, the Huns, have no side support. My soldiers in the three cities of Dashang Border Pass are enough to destroy you. Maybe we can even go straight into the grassland and attack your royal court of the Huns."
!”
The Huns envoy trembled suddenly, their current situation was indeed not good.
Moreover, they urgently need to return to the grassland to recuperate. If they continue to stay here, the remaining tens of thousands of troops may have no way of survival.
"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my king!"
Shan Tianxiong next to him was stunned for a moment. He was at the border. He had negotiated with various tribes in the northern grassland many times, but he had never seen such a shocking negotiation scene.
The combination of kindness and power not only won Rouran over, but also took the opportunity to blackmail the Huns.
If we can really bring the Hun prince back to the imperial city as a hostage, we can at least change borders and enjoy peace for a few years.
He admired Zhao Rui even more.
But it's still a little strange, when did the emperor have such a resourceful eunuch beside him.
"My father-in-law is really a good man, I will admire him!"
Zhao Rui waved his hand. Although he was a doctor at Blue Star, he loved historical dramas. He could come up with hundreds of ways to deal with these grassland tribes.
"The old general has commended me. Now that there is nothing going on at the border, it's time for me to return to the imperial city and report back to His Majesty."
"Just right!" Shan Tianxiong grabbed Zhao Rui's wrist excitedly: "I will go back with my father-in-law to report my work to His Majesty!"
Zhao Rui suddenly coughed twice. He originally thought of finding a chance to escape on the way back to the imperial city, but he didn't expect Shan Tianxiong to come in with such a trick.
At this point, he didn't have much to say, so he had no choice but to return to Beijing with Shan Tianxiong.
In the past few days, the imperial city has already turned into a mess.
The road from the border to the imperial city is long, and even the 800-mile expedited journey would take a whole day and night.
Therefore, news from the border could not be sent back to the imperial city in time.
In addition, Chen Shuxing and a group of Huns continued to spread rumors in the imperial city, making people panic and even causing chaos in the court.
Murong Bing sat on the dragon chair, staring at the civil and military ministers in the court with a solemn face.
These guys usually don't see any achievements in their political achievements, but now they are talking all over the place and coming up with a lot of messy ideas.
Murong Bing was furious at all the shameless remarks about moving the capital south and ceding the border cities to the Xiongnu to ensure peace.
Xiao Xiangguo was tougher this time. He was not as shameless as those civil and military officials. Instead, he asked Murong Bing to send more troops to the border.
It's just that all the people he recommended to lead the army were his cronies.
If he agreed to this, it would be a repayment! Then not all of Dashang's northern territory would fall into the hands of Xiao Xiangguo.
Murong Bing had no idea for a moment and didn't know what to do.
At this moment, the eunuch outside the palace suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Old General Shan returns to the court to report on his duties!"
