I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 217 The conditions of the big man

"Hehehehehehe"

A low laugh emerged from Liu Long's mouth, and he had to sigh that there was some truth in why the Xiongnu was called "a centipede insect that is dead but not stiff".

It has obviously taken decades for these big men to achieve this kind of virtue.

But they actually still have talents like this and that King Zuo Xian, and they have such confidence.

Indeed, the Han Dynasty needed an obedient southern Huns to herd cattle and raise horses for him.

After all, today's big men do not have the ability to produce enough herdsmen on their own.

Even in the frontiers, they mainly focus on farming and farming, while the Han want to continue to expand the frontiers and protect their frontiers and people.

Then the cavalry division is indispensable.

As for the Huns or the southern Huns, although Liu Long didn't want to admit it, he had to say it out of conscience.

Compared to Wuhuan and Xianbei, as well as the Qiang, Hu and Di people who made him feel less and less worried, the southern Xiongnu could be said to be the most obedient.

Even though they are at war now
And no matter it was in the past or in the future, it can be said that this group of Southern Huns have never given up their evil intentions.

If he found the opportunity, he would definitely take a big bite out of the big man's flesh and blood.

But if the Han Dynasty has the capital to suppress them, there is no doubt about their loyalty.

The Huns had been fighting against the Han for hundreds of years, but there were times like Jin Rixi and other trusted ministers of Emperor Xiaowu.

A foreigner, a Huns, and a prisoner among the Huns, finally became the trusted minister of Emperor Xiaowu, who had been fighting with the Huns all his life.

This incident was already shocking.

In addition, this big man also has many nameless generals who are amazing, and most of them are also Huns.

These are unchangeable facts.

Therefore, although Liu Long spoke sarcastically, his purpose was to ask for benefits, not to force the Huns to death.

Why did he come?
After all, it was not because when he and Pang Xiong were discussing matters before, Pang Xiong guessed that the Huns were now forced to a dead end.

If they don't want to be destroyed, the only way is to go to General Du Liao to surrender before their army arrives.

First of all, the duty of General Du Liao was to protect, regulate and suppress the foreign races on the border.

In the absence of Captain Hu Wuhuan, he had enough rights and status to make all decisions about the Huns.

The two sides are now fighting like this. Although the big man is confident of winning, he has also suffered serious losses.

Moreover, winter has arrived. If the fighting continues, the wind and snow will increase the casualties of the Han army, and will also cause the Huns to flee to Mobei.

Of course, in Pang Xiong's words.

“If it really comes to that point, then the Huns will definitely suffer heavy losses, no matter what.

But their casualties have nothing to do with us. We only care about things. It is not worth it to double our losses in order to let them go out of ten.

As long as the Huns had enough water and grass, no matter how heavy their losses were, they could recover within 20 years.

This is a unique skill of those on the grassland.

But if we suffer heavy losses, it will be very difficult to recover.

You cannot fight the Huns on the frontier, and General Du Liao also understood this.

He will agree to the other party's surrender, but the conditions are difficult to control. "

Pang Xiong seemed to know this very well, so he put forward his own suggestion, which was to let Liu Long, the Han emperor, go to the camp of General Du Liao first and wait.

There is no need to worry about any war, just wait for the Huns to come.Pang Xiong had already seen that although His Majesty looked a little bold, he was not someone who really dared to do anything outrageous.

He will not really fight to the death with the Huns, but he will never make it easy for the Huns.

This is exactly what your Majesty should be used for!

Sure enough, after Liu Long's brief silence, his conditions began to appear.

"Since you and I have said this, let's stop talking about other nonsense and talk about business.

The Huns want to go back to the past, and I don’t completely disagree with that.

But it is impossible to cover up what you have done so easily. "

"Your Majesty, please tell me that as long as I, the Huns, can do anything, I am willing to try my best to compensate."

"Thirty thousand war horses"

Liu Long had never negotiated, so as soon as he opened his mouth, King Zuo Xian of the Huns felt his heart twitch.

Deng Zun and Duan Ji, as well as General Du Liao and his generals, could not help but look over.

That look is as weird as it gets.

Even just from their eyes, Liu Long could feel that he seemed to have said the wrong thing just now.

"Cough cough cough cough, what's wrong? Did the number I just said too little?

If King Zuo Xian has no objection, then add another [-], and we can just make up the whole sum? "

"Your Majesty!" The Xiongnu King Ao Zhan Ri Zhu Wang finally couldn't bear it any longer and jumped up from his seat, then knelt down in front of Liu Long with a thump.

"What are you doing? One hundred thousand horses is not a lot. You don't need to be so grateful."

"I would like to ask your Majesty not to destroy our Xiongnu, but to leave a way for our Xiongnu to survive!" King Ao Zhanri Zhu couldn't help but almost burst into tears at this time.

This is not a sign of gratitude. He thinks that Liu Long wants to directly slaughter the Huns.

And it's the kind of person who kills someone with a borrowed knife.

After seeing the virtue of King Ao Zhan Ri Zhu Wang, Liu Long also knew that the amount he wanted seemed to be a bit too much.

But his expression was so normal, he didn't feel anything at all. Instead, he smiled directly at the other person.

"King Zuo Xian, what do you mean? There was a fight between you and me before. In just one big victory, I got more than [-] horses from the defeated army of your Huns.

How can you say that these [-] horses are nothing to you?

It is said that when Maodun Shanyu was alive, the Huns had millions of string-controlling men.

Nowadays, even though the Huns are not as good as before, and the southern Huns are not complete Huns, how come they can't gather [-] war horses?

King Zuo Xian, please don’t fool me! "

"I'll wait. I'll wait."

"What? Am I wrong? You Xiongnu don't even have a hundred thousand string control men now?"

"Of course this exists"

"Since there is, why do I want you to have [-] war horses?"

"Your Majesty. But if you give your Majesty one hundred thousand war horses, what will I become as a Huns!"
