Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 416 The Hun Messenger of the Barbarians ([-])

"The envoy of the Great Huns, Xu Luo, has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xu Luo spoke the correct Chinese dialect, and saluted Fusu who was standing at the door to welcome him.

Fusu returned the courtesy and said, "Your envoy, please excuse me."

Xu Luo looked at Zhou Chong and Chen Ping who were beside Fusu, and asked: "These two nobles have extraordinary auras, and they are so admirable. I wonder if the crown prince can introduce them to me."

Fusu smiled heartily and said, "Of course. This is Mr. Zhou Chongzhou, and this is Chen Ping."

Xu Luo said with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be the famous Mr. Zhou. It's a pleasure to meet you. Xu Luo has heard of Mr. Zhou's name for a long time, and has been thinking about when he can see Mr. Zhou. I didn't expect it to come true today. Borrowing In your words, you are truly lucky." He saluted Zhou Chong respectfully.

Chinese history books describe the nomads as barbarians who do not know Chinese etiquette, and various legendary novels describe them as barbarians who only know how to bend horses and bend bows. I didn't expect this Xu Luo to be able to speak Chinese language fluently. Being polite, he is not necessarily inferior to the etiquette people in the Central Plains. Zhou Chong secretly praised the Xiongnu in his heart, and replied with a smile: "Your envoy has won the prize, Zhou Chong is not worthy of his reputation."

Sura smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou is really humble. I heard that Mr. Zhou retired bravely and would rather be the master of His Royal Highness instead of being a high-ranking official. I really admire Mr. Zhou's virtues. I have met Mr. Chen before." Ping salute.

Chen Ping replied, "Chen Ping has seen you."

Xu Luo smiled unchanged and said: "You're welcome. Are you strange that I can speak your language and understand your etiquette?" At that time, the Hu people admired Chinese culture and were proud of knowing the Chinese language. They were very high-spirited scored three points.

Regarding this matter, it is really a bit strange, but Fusu said something else, saying: "The Chinese state of etiquette is famous far and wide, and the barbarian state keeps imitating it. The prince is not surprised that the Xiongnu learned our language and etiquette. "In fact, he was quite surprised in his heart, but he only spoke like this to save face.

Fusu's words meant something, especially the word "barbarian" was insulting to the Huns, but Xu Luo's self-cultivation was very good, and he didn't get angry, but said: "The prince looks down on us Huns, saying that we are barbarians. , I can understand this. We Huns grew up on horseback since we were young, and we like to bend horses and bend bows, but it doesn't mean that we don't understand the outside world.

"Da Shanyu once lived in the Central Plains for three years, learning your language and etiquette. It can be said that Da Shanyu's understanding of China is no less than that of your well-educated people."

Mao Dun had been to the Central Plains and lived there for three years. This was really unbelievable and shocking. Fu Su kept his expression on his face and asked slowly, "What is the Great Shanyu doing in the Central Plains? Do you have ulterior motives to spy on China's mountains and rivers?"

Xu Luo smiled and said: "The crown prince doubts so much, Su Luo can understand. Da Shanyu didn't come to the Central Plains to spy on China's weakness, but admired China to visit, and was moved by China's richness, so he stayed here for a while. Three years. The Great Chanyu often said that the Great Xiongnu should learn from China, have our own language, have our own etiquette, and more importantly, have our own prosperity.”

Mao Dun was actually the greatest monarch in the history of the Huns. He not only unified the various ministries of the Huns, but he was also a reformer. As a result, all nations are terrified, and it is very possible that he can have such an ambition.

In diplomatic occasions, it’s all about verbal advantage. Fusu asked, “According to this, Huaxia is better than you Xiongnu?”

Su Luo said neither humble nor overbearing: "His Royal Highness, Da Shanyu thinks that Huaxia and Daxiongnu have their own strengths: Huaxia is rich and rich, which is far beyond what our Daxiongnu can match. Dashanyu also thinks that Huaxia's etiquette is very standardized, while The etiquette of the people of our Great Huns is simple, which is incomparable to us. However, the people of the Great Huns grew up on horseback, and they can spend their entire lives on horseback, their whereabouts are erratic and elusive."

He only said half of what he said, Zhou Chong smiled and said: "Did you say that if China and the Great Huns go to war, we will not even be able to find you, and you can use the prairie to drag us down, and then Attack us again, won't you?"

Xu Luo really thought so in his heart, but he couldn't admit it, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou is serious. Daqin and Daxiongnu are good friends and good brothers. How can they fight wars?"

At this time, it would be impolite to speak too harshly. Zhou Chong laughed and said, "What your envoy said is very true. Huaxia and your country are friendly, and they are brothers. It is a blessing for the two countries not to fight."

"What Mr. Zhou said is very true, what Mr. Zhou said is very true." Su Luo agreed.

Zhou Chong continued: "You said that the Huns are inferior to Huaxia in two aspects, but in fact, you also ignored one aspect in which you are much inferior to us."

Xu Luo became a little curious, and said: "I also ask Mr. Zhou to enlighten me."

Zhou Chong smiled slightly and said: "Our Huaxia's technology is far beyond what you can compare. For us Huaxia, technology is a very important tool for our happy life, but for you Huns, it is too difficult."

Some scholars joked that technology is too difficult for nomads, and nomads are fierce and good at fighting. But in modern times, the nomads who once ran rampant in the world have completely declined. The reason is that the appearance of hot weapons is fatal to nomads. impossible to reproduce.

These words hit the heart of the Xiongnu, Xu Luo was secretly shocked, only to hear Zhou Chong continue: "The Battle of Hetao, your army fought very tenaciously, as an opponent we still respect your spirit. You The reason why you lost so quickly is that you are not as advanced as our weapons. Your self-proclaimed riding and archery skills have no place to be used in front of our advanced weapons. Our crossbows have twice the range of yours, and Our arrows shoot more and more accurately than yours, and your cavalry are no more than easy targets for our blows."

In the Battle of Hetao, the crossbows of the Qin army suppressed the cavalry and shooting of the Huns very well, which is an important reason why the Qin army was able to win.After Mao Dun ascended to the throne, he had carefully studied the war, and he also believed that it would be more beneficial for Su Luo to talk about it in a decent way.Unexpectedly, once Zhou Chong brought up this matter, his confidence would be lacking, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "What Mr. Zhou said is very true. The Battle of Hetao was purely a misunderstanding. Brother, there will be no more wars."

Jiang was still old and hot, and when Zhou Chong spoke, Su Luo's heart was suppressed, and Fusu secretly gave Zhou Chong a thumbs up, smiling all over his face, and said: "What your envoy said is very true, what he said is very true. In the house please, in the house please."

The bickering had already been lost for a while, and Su Luoba had no choice but to end it, saying: "His Royal Highness, please!" followed Fusu into the house.
