Great Wei Nengchen

Unexpectedly, the city of the Han family is too strong, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is also extremely strong. Instead of gnawing down on the city, the coalition forces broke down several big teeth!

There is no place to find after breaking through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get here. Just when the troops of various ministries suffered heavy casualties and were about to change places, the fat man came to the camp and proposed conditions for peace, canonization, and trade. The chiefs of the ministries were ecstatic , naturally nodding desperately in agreement.

"Swipe--swipe!"

However, the wolf nature of the nomads is deep, and after the great chiefs were full of joy, they began to wink, gesture, and discuss in low voices...

The Han people have a saying: ask for prices all over the sky, and pay back the money when you land. Now that the trump card of the Han court has been revealed, we should also bargain and strive for more benefits!

For example, on the canonization, Zhelan is the princess, and they are also great chiefs, can they be crowned as the king of the county, the king of the princes, or the big chanyu?

In terms of rewards, at least five hundred carts of property are needed, as well as enough grain, cloth, and ironware. It is best to send some noble children to the Central Plains to learn advanced technologies, farming, weaving, smelting... all the good ones come here!

For business, the Han family plans to open [-] squares, but the number is still too small, at least [-] or [-]. It is best to organize a caravan to do business directly in Luoyang and Xuchang, so that the profits will be more !

The chiefs grew more and more beautiful, and the snot bubbles were almost beautiful. Just when they were about to make a request, they were surprised to find one thing, the fat Han family envoy - fell asleep!

Chapter 1549 The envoy of the Han Dynasty fell asleep and couldn't wake up!

"Hoo hoo! - good wine! - hoo!"

Perhaps because of his inability to drink, Zhang Su lay on his side on a soft sheepskin couch, snoring like thunder, drooling, and talking in his sleep from time to time. The sleep was extremely sweet, and the great chiefs were stunned. Han officials had seen many , but have never seen such a wonderful thing!

When the other Han envoys came, they all wore swords and armored guards, drank lightly, spoke quietly, and acted cautiously, for fear of being plotted by the Qiang people or losing the dignity of the court.

This fat man was just the opposite. He entered the camp aggressively, talked loudly, drank fine wine, and just started talking about the business, and then he was so drunk that he passed out. He was not afraid of delaying the important affairs of the country, or losing his head in a drunken dream ?

"Master Messenger! Messenger!...Wake up, fat man, wake up!"

"Come on, take this fat man down!"

The chiefs pushed and shouted, but it didn't work at all. The fat man was still sleeping soundly, his clothes were wet with saliva, and it looked like he couldn't be woken up by a thunderstorm, let alone calling him.

If you want to wake up with cold water, you are afraid of losing diplomatic etiquette. What's more, if you forcefully wake up a drunk, your mind is also confused. How can you discuss important matters?

In desperation, I had to find four strong men to work together to lift the fat man out of the big tent of the Chinese army, find a tent to settle down, and sent two Qiang girls to serve the bed, but depending on how drunk the fat man is, I'm afraid he won't be able to enjoy it. Blessed!

Originally, the great chiefs had discussed it. The whole army retreated early this morning and hid in a safe place. Unexpectedly, the fat man came suddenly and brought the good news of the peace talks!

Things changed, and the chiefs decided to discuss how to negotiate with the Han envoy, and why did the Han court negotiate a peace? Is this sincere, or is it a conspiracy?

"The Han Dynasty gathered an army of 40 troops in Hanzhong County, led by General Shenweitian himself. If we attack westward, we Qiang people will have no power to resist, so we can only run away!

Instead of killing them, the Han army sent envoys to negotiate a peace, and offered generous terms. There must be tricks in it. Don't forget, General Shenweitian is more cunning than foxes on the grassland. Beware!

It's better to set up a camp, retreat to the upper reaches of the Bailong River, and then discuss with the Han envoys slowly when we arrive at our territory, so that we can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and be more flexible! "

Among the Qiang people, there were also mature and prudent ones. Several older chiefs proposed to continue to retreat. They lived a long time, dealt with the Han people a lot, and suffered a lot of pitfalls.

Especially Xiao Yi was in Hanzhong County, which made them very uneasy. The bloody lesson proved that this guy only likes to kill people with knives and has no habit of negotiating peace, let alone suffer!

"The old chiefs are worrying too much. It is true that there are 40 troops in Hanzhong County, but they are not used to march west, but to attack their own people, the guy with big ears hiding in Bashu!

We also released spies to monitor Wudu County and Hanzhong County. It is true that the Han army moved frequently, but they did not come from the west, but went south. It seems that they have to solve internal problems first, which is very good for us. advantageous!

As for the upper reaches of the Bailong River, there was also a severe drought. Some sections of the river were cut off, and 8 to [-] horses retreated there. How could they survive without food, grass, and water? "

Most of the chiefs insisted on staying and reached an agreement with the Han Dynasty as soon as possible. After receiving the first batch of food, they hurried back to the various camps. The tribe had run out of food, and people were starving to death every day. rise!

And they firmly believe that before the pacification of Bashu, Jingzhou, and Jiangdong, the Han army will not make a large-scale westward expedition, and that the outside must first be settled inside. This is the old tradition of the Han people!

"Withdraw troops!...don't withdraw troops!...withdraw troops!...don't withdraw troops!"

Dozens of great chiefs debated for half the night before they managed to unify their internal opinions. They stayed put for the time being and stationed at the foot of Hanwen City to reach an agreement with the Han people as quickly as possible and get food and other supplies!

At the same time, a large number of rangers were sent to explore in the direction of Wudu County and Hanzhong County. If the Han army really came, an alarm could be issued in time, and the army could retreat calmly.

It is the best policy to achieve the best of both worlds, without delaying the negotiation of major events, and avoiding the danger of being encircled!

Next, the great chiefs spent half the night discussing the terms of the peace. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We must firmly grasp it and strive for the most benefits for the Qiang people!

To make a long story short, after repeated discussions, four conditions were finally passed:

The first item is the title: the Qiang people have always been in a state of disunity. They have never established their own country, so there is no such thing as a king or a king.

Now accepting the canonization of the big man, to grant the gold seal and iron certificate, there must be an official title. There are dozens of people sitting here, one or one, all want to get the title of "Da Shan Yu", which is both prestigious and practical !

Because the title of "Shanyu" is used by the nomadic tribes in the north, not the official position of the Han people. Although they are ready to attach themselves to the Han Dynasty, they can maintain a certain degree of independence with the title of "Great Shanyu". , and more justifiably.

The second reward: There are hundreds of thousands of Qiang people. If they want to survive the drought smoothly, they need at least 100 million hu grains, as well as a large amount of daily necessities such as cloth, refined salt, and iron pots.

After deliberation, the great chiefs decided to ask a lion to ask for 300 million hu grains directly, so that even if the Han envoys bargained, they could still guarantee millions of dollars.

The third item of trade: there must be at least [-] squares and cities, and the caravan should be established quickly, and the Han and Qiang people will send people to jointly manage it. Han merchants are too treacherous. If you are not careful, you may be cheated. no return!

There is also a detailed list of commodities exchanged between the two sides. In the past, the Han army not only attacked Qiangluo, but also imposed a commercial blockade to prevent caravans from entering the western grasslands. Iron, salt, and tea were the most important items. , There are smugglers who cross the border--kill without mercy!

Without iron, the Qiang people could not forge weapons. They could only fight with wooden sticks and forks, or fight with wild beasts. I don't know how many warriors died in vain!

Without salt, the Qiang people can only eat meat boiled in plain water. Not only is it tasteless, but they will also feel tired. There is really no other way but to drink animal blood and animal blood to supplement the salt. The taste is indescribable!

Without tea, the Qiang people, who mainly eat meat all the year round, will be hot and dry, and will suffer from many diseases, and many people will die of illness every year!

Now that there is an opportunity, the three items of iron, salt, and tea must be included in the exchange commodities. The quantity must be sufficient and the price should be cheap.

The fourth item is marriage: if you want to maintain long-term peace, you must follow the example of Zhaojun going out of the fortress, and the high-level Han and Qiang people will marry each other, and the chiefs of the Qiang people also know the situation of the big Han today!

They are not interested in a princess named Liu, a princess, or a replacement maid. The marriage partners only include: Cao Ying, the daughters of the direct line of Xiao, especially the two young princesses of the Zhelan tribe!

Xiao Chuo and Xiao Yi are famous sisters in the Xiqiang Grassland. They are beautiful, skilled in bowing and horses, and extremely talented. They are familiar with various classics of the Han family. They are the daughters of General Shenweitian!

No matter which chief or heir, being the son-in-law of General Shenweitian will not only guarantee the prosperity and wealth, but also receive great support. Unifying the tribes of the Qiang people, occupying the northwest and becoming king on their own is also a promising thing !

Thinking of this, the great chiefs looked at each other, and they all felt competitive. Everyone wanted the opportunity to marry Xiao.

"This peace negotiation with the Han people is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but there is also great danger. We Qiang people and all tribes must work together and share the honor!

Don't forget that a single wild wolf can't do anything. If it's a pack of wild wolves, it can tear apart any beast. Don't be divided internally and be broken up by others. The Han people are the best at sowing dissension! "

…………

At dawn, the great chiefs had finished their discussions, had a good breakfast, and then cheered up, ready to discuss the details with the Han envoys to win more benefits, but the people on the left and the people on the right did not come...

"Send someone to go and see if the envoy of the Han family is awake, please go to the big tent to discuss the matter immediately!"

Seeing that the sun was rising and the figure of the fat man had not been seen for a long time, the great chiefs couldn't sit still, so they had to send someone to check it out. The peace negotiation was imminent, and they didn't dare to waste any time!

After a while, the Qiang soldiers came back helplessly: "The envoy of the Han Dynasty fell asleep and couldn't wake up!"
