Chapter 153 Start Peace Talks (Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass)
In the early morning of May [-]th.

"Who did you say you saw? Erhu, don't you want to talk nonsense?"

Erhu is Dong Ming's chief, and he is also the leader of the letter delivery to the Xiongnu.

"My lord, I'm not talking nonsense. They're all calling Youxian King. He's also here to negotiate this time. We'll come back early. They're probably about [-] miles away from the army."

Huo Shan hissed lightly, looked at the crowd puzzled and asked:

"Isn't he dead? Er Shanyu didn't kill him?"

Everyone was also very puzzled, and everyone turned their heads to look at Fu Kedu.

Fu Kedu was a little embarrassed, seeing what I was doing, I didn't even ask!
"Uh, my lord, I'll ask right now!"

After a while, Kedu came back.

"My lord, it is true that I am not dead. I was locked up by Er Shanyu."

"Who told you that?"

"Back to my lord, Er Shanyu still looks dead, that's what Zuo Guduhou said."

Huo Shan nodded, frowning and thinking about it.

King Youxian is not dead, isn't this going around going back to the original prediction.

Youxian King is not dead, the Xiongnu will maintain a certain degree of stability, and civil strife is impossible, but if you want to be stable, it may not be stable in the past few years.

And now for Huo Shan, it is better for King Youxian to live, because he still holds Er Shanyu in his hand.

If you have a good talk with me and satisfy my appetite, then I will take Er Shanyu back to Dahan, if it does not satisfy my interests, then I will put Er Shanyu back.

Of course, it's impossible to let go, but who told you that You Xianwang's handle is this?
You don't know whether I will let you go or not, so you need to satisfy me.

Huo Shan began to set a reserve price for this negotiation in his mind.

Gold, that is definitely what you want, so let's set a million. Huo Shan believes that he can get it out of just one Shan Yubu.

As for cattle, sheep and horses...

In addition to the horses that Huo Shan had captured in the past few months, there were also those that were not suitable for sending back.

There is also the increase and decrease of the battle along the way, and it is currently about 12.

Then you need another 20 horses, 32 horses, even if there are two horses for one person, that is 16 cavalry, and the battle of the Western Regions is enough.

Huo Shan captured and killed more than one million cattle and sheep, but the number of cattle and sheep sent back was about 40, so he needed another 20 cattle and 40 sheep to make up the whole.

The Battle of the Western Regions won't cost a million dollars, but no one thinks too much of it.

Of course Huo Shan wants to ask him for 100 million in various ways, but you also need to see if the Huns are there. If you want 100 million each, you can basically empty the Huns.

Moreover, it is not convenient for the army to transport so many cattle and sheep, and the Huns need the help of various ministries to transport them.

And for the 80 cattle, sheep and horses, Shanyu alone can't make it up, and he won't make it up, so it must be shared.

Distributed to each department, one part is only tens of thousands, so it won't be too painful.

Huo Shan wanted to hit their limit, this number made them feel distressed, but not too painful.

Huo Shan needed them to willingly transport him to the Han-Hungarian border.

And their speed will be very fast, because if it drags on, it will be the second half of the year, and the Huns don't have so much time to store fodder.

Moreover, they are all cattle and sheep for the big man, so there is no need to raise them for a longer period of time.

Finally, of course, is essential.

"Tian Qianqiu."

"The minister is here."

Tian Qianqiu stood up, when Huo Shan called him, everyone had some guesses.

"Will the covenant be written?"

Tian Qianqiu became excited instantly, and nodded again and again:
"Yes, yes!"

Huo Shan smiled and nodded:
"I said request, you go down and write now!"

Tian Qianqiu nodded again and again, this is a covenant, even if it is just a drafting template, it is not a formal covenant, but it will definitely be remembered in history.

Because of the covenant, the Xiongnu still needs to send envoys to the Han Dynasty in the follow-up, and the official text will be valid and recognized by the two countries with the seal of the country.

Moreover, the templates were all written by Tian Qianqiu, so the original version that was negotiated is still running away?

And this thing is not only famous in history, once the covenant is signed, Tian Qianqiu's reputation in the big man will also double.

The other two documents looked at Tian Qianqiu enviously, but there was no way, who made Tian Qianqiu call Huo Shan the Lord!
The two of them will feel a little bored with the family background they used to be so proud of.

If they didn't have this family background, they would be able to call Lord Huo Shan, so would the opportunity to be famous in history fall to themselves?

Especially Zhang Anshi was more annoyed than Han Zeng.

He and Huo Shan have the closest relationship among the three, if his father is not Zhang Tang and has not left him so much legacy, then...

But things have come to this point, I can only look at Tian Qianqiu enviously.

Seeing the two staring at him, Tian Qianqiu raised his head proudly, and both of them rolled their eyes together.

Huo Shan looked at this scene, just smiled and didn't speak, of course he had to think about his own people!

"Tian Qianqiu, I only have three requirements."

Tian Qianqiu arched his hands, indicating that he was listening.

"The first point is that the Xiongnu surrendered to the great Han.

The second point is to return the Han people in the territory of the Xiongnu.

The third point is that the Xiongnu paid tribute to the Han every year with [-] gold, [-] horses, and [-] cattle and sheep.

This is my bottom line. You can add whatever you want to the above, but don't go too far, so as not to scare them off. "

Huo Shan actually thought of a lot, such as the Xiongnu sent protons, set up a treaty port to play with wool!

But if you think about it carefully, it's not necessary!

The countries in the Western Regions can play with protons, but the current Xiongnu Chanyu usually does not reign long, and there are simply not too many people with the right to inherit, which is of no great use.

In Huo Shan's view, treaty ports are too slow to play with wool and economy, even if they are evenly matched, they can play with it, but now the big men are fully suppressing it, it is unnecessary.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you don't want to play or crash, and it's good to weaken it a bit.

But there is no need to write in the covenant. If the big man wants to get a treaty port, he can do it directly, and the Huns will be very happy.

.........

Tian Qianqiu nodded excitedly, and dragged Zhang Anshi and Han Zeng to write the covenant.

"You said why are you dragging us, write it yourself!"

After coming out, Han Zeng said with a slight resentment in his tone.

Tian Qianqiu didn't care about his resentment, instead he took the two of them by the arms and said while walking:
"Oh, I haven't really written this stuff, you guys teach me!"

Zhang Anshi followed reluctantly:
"We didn't write it either!"

"Didn't my lord say that one person counts the disadvantages, and the two counts the strengths, the three of us come together."

The two looked at each other across Tian Qianqiu, then sighed in unison, and followed Tian Qianqiu to his tent.

.........

After waiting for about an hour, King Youxian came.

As soon as he entered the big tent, he immediately performed a Hun etiquette to Huo Shan:
"The Xiongnu Youtuqi King Luanti Huli Lake, met the champion of the Han Dynasty."

"The left general of the Xiongnu..."

Huo Shan got up and returned a salute, then reached out and pointed:
"Youxian King and Zuo Dajiang, please sit down."

Logically speaking, King Youxian's status is much higher than that of Huo Shan, but who makes him weak.

As for the identity of Xiaolihu is still Youxian King...

Shan Yu didn't have such a good succession, so the etiquette process is very complicated, and in the current situation, various factors must be considered!

Huo Shan didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, he was still in a hurry to go home, and the longer he procrastinated, the more soldiers and horses from various ministries would gather!

So after chatting for a few words, Huo Shan got straight to the point.

"Youxian King is here for peace talks?"

Xiaolihu was taken aback for a moment, is it so straightforward?

"Exactly."

But he still nodded, he didn't want to talk nonsense with Huo Shan, he had a lot of things to do now.

"Well, let's talk about your request first!"

"At two o'clock, the champion Hou retreats back to the big man and returns to our Shanyu."

Huo Shan squinted his eyes, did he retreat or was he forced to?

"Okay, then let me talk about our requirements, 50 horses, a million cattle and sheep, and 200 million gold will be used as compensation for my big man's sending troops, and we will sign the covenant established by our side."

Hearing this condition, King You Xian felt a little difficult to breathe. He knew that Huo Shan would open his mouth like a lion, but he didn't expect his appetite to be so big.

You are not asking for compensation, you are asking for the life of my Huns!

Tian Qianqiu handed over the covenant at the right time, King You Xian took it and read it, and after reading two of them, he couldn't stand it anymore.

Too much, simply too much!
He handed the covenant to General Zuo and others beside him.

This time there were two important people here, one representing the power of King Youxian and the other representing the power of Er Shanyu.

The two of them are the key this time. As for the other neutral forces, the biggest Zuo Guli King and Zuo Dadu are gone, so it doesn't matter anymore.

King Youxian didn't want to go back to Er Shanyu either, but Er Shanyu's forces would not agree.

As soon as General Zuo saw half of it, he stood up and shouted:
"This is impossible."

The Youxian King next to him also nodded, and asked:
"Champion Hou, let's not talk about the covenant issue, the compensation can't be so much, right?"

Huo Shan chuckled:
"It's true that our army has 3 people. Although I have a big appetite, I really can't ask for so many, but the situation has changed now."

King Youxian was a little puzzled. Although you won, the price increase is a reasonable request, but it can't be increased by so much!

"Why?"

Huo Shan changed his sitting position and said lightly:
"Three days ago, I received news that my big man had sent troops, 40 troops, and had entered the grassland for five hundred miles three days ago.

If you want them to retreat, you have to cut your flesh. This time, my big man is here to destroy you Huns.

My great-uncle was not so easy to pass.

Therefore, the compensation has to be given, and the covenant has to be signed. Now that you have signed it, my big man will retreat, and there will be less things to do! "

After hearing the news that the big man sent troops, King Youxian and General Zuo stood up with greatly changed expressions. Now that the Huns are unstable, it is not the time for a big war.

It is true that Wei Qing has sent troops, but not that many, maybe [-] to [-], put some pressure on them.

King You Xian looked at Huo Shan and asked tentatively:

"Who is Uncle Hou the champion?"

Huo Shan glanced at him, raised his eyebrows, and said proudly:

"My father Hussars Grand General Champion, and my uncle is naturally Grand Sima and Grand General Chang Pinghou!"

Hearing Huo Shan's words, the faces of the two became even more ugly.

That's not someone else, that's Changping Marquis Weiqing, Wei Qing from Horse Riding Dragon City!
