"Has everything been properly settled at the mission?"
After settling the mission, Chen Qi returned directly to his mansion with the letter box given to him by Guan Fu.
But as soon as he entered the door, he discovered that the king was actually sitting in the lobby of his house.
"Back to your Majesty, everyone has been accommodated. It's just that they look like they need to rest for a while!"
Chen Qi's face looked a little strange. It was the first time he had seen the envoy look like a bear.
"I have something here, take a look first!"
As Liu Deng spoke, he took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Qi.
"Change of Xiongnu Chanyu? Is this news reliable?"
The hairs on Chen Qi's body suddenly stood up. This kind of thing was no joke. These people were originally the envoys of the old Shanyu, but now that the Shanyu is gone, how about talking to them?
"The source of the news is absolutely reliable. There is no doubt about this. The wise kings of the Xiongnu and the left have all rushed to the royal court. The entire Xiongnu territory is in chaos. I think they will receive the news soon!"
Liu Deng said carefully as he considered his words.
"Then the king means that we won't talk to them?"
Chen Qi asked tentatively.
"Why not talk? Don't you think this is a good opportunity for us? The new king of the Huns has just come to power. He will definitely need a short period of peace to stabilize his position. As long as it revolves around this, I think there is a lot to talk about between us. !”
Liu Deng looked treacherous, and the old Shanyu died suddenly. Although his eldest son is now in charge, even so, there must be many people who are secretly worried.
Even in the Han Dynasty, the handover of the throne has always been a source of chaos, let alone the Xiongnu grassland where strength is paramount.
If it were in the past, when the Xiongnu were in chaos, the Han army would definitely be unable to do anything, but it is different now. Whether it is the Shenwu Army or the Modao Army, the combat power displayed in this battle has made the entire Xiongnu look at them. If Liu Deng had a tougher attitude at this time, maybe he could get some surprises?
What's more, this time they brought it to their doorstep. With such a good opportunity, if they didn't take advantage of this opportunity, they would be really sorry for themselves.
"What does the king mean?"
"Master Chen, you have to understand that we are the one taking the initiative now. We have the final say whether to fight or not. Although Shanyu, the military minister, has come to power now, he does have 200,000 cavalry in his hands, but apart from his bodyguards Outside the royal court, the remaining armies have to guard against the wise kings on the left and right. No matter what we do at this time, he can only watch. We don't need to fight him at all. We only need to send a light cavalry to march into the Xiongnu territory. I'm afraid He’s going to be in dire straits!”
Seeing the sinister smile on Liu Deng's lips, Chen Qi suddenly relaxed.
"Your Majesty, what do you think we will do this time?"
"Isn't it true that what we lack most now is war horses? You see, our Crown Prince is already quite old. So why should we give the Crown Prince a Hun concubine or something? As for the dowry, just let them give less. We don’t want those gold, silver, etc., after all, they can’t afford it, so I think just one hundred thousand cattle and sheep, and fifty thousand war horses will be enough!”
"Cough-cough-cough"
Chen Qi was so bad that he didn't choke to death on his own saliva. This king of his own really dared to think...
Since the war between Han and Hungary, the Han Dynasty has always sent women to the Xiongnu, but the Huns have never sent women to the Han Dynasty, and your dowry is too much...
The total number of war horses captured in this war was only more than 30,000. Now you are asking for 50,000 war horses with just a few words...
If only the Huns could agree...
"Don't be excited, don't be excited. Of course, you can't tell them that at the beginning. I think the initial asking price was 300,000 cattle and sheep, and 150,000 war horses. This price was enough for them to bargain! As for this woman, Tell them, I have heard that the military minister Shanyu has a sister, her name is Yana, she looks like a beautiful girl, a Hun princess, she is enough to be a good friend to our Crown Prince!"
Chen Qi felt that his brain was a little exhausted. Didn't the king wake up from sleep?
It is already difficult for the Huns to send just any woman over, not to mention the fact that she is the daughter of the elder Shanyu and the biological sister of the military official Shanyu!
"Your Majesty, is this a little too difficult?"
Chen Qi was a little embarrassed. This was completely beyond the Huns' bottom line. Even now he could think that the Huns must have slapped the table and left.
"You haven't even talked about it, how do you know it won't work? This is my king's bottom line. Tell them that if they refuse, in the spring of next year, I will personally lead one hundred thousand Shenwu Army and fifty thousand Modao Army to fight with them. Let’s meet in the royal court! If they don’t give me anything, I will take it myself!”
Seeing Liu Deng's unfounded confidence, Chen Qi didn't know what to say for a moment. Could it be that the king took the wrong medicine today?
"promise!"
But after careful observation for a long time, Chen Qi was sure that his king was not ill. Since the king had already said so, let's talk about it first.
"By the way, General Li Guang is already very busy. I will send him to you for a few days and let him be your deputy!"
After Liu Deng said that, he turned around and left without giving Chen Qi a chance to refute. Chen Qi was completely stunned. What a joke. Although Li Guang is a good fighter, he has also been granted the title of Marquis. But no matter what, this guy is a military commander after all!
What would you do with a military general regarding this negotiation? Isn't this causing trouble for yourself?
"promise!"
But the king had already made this decision, so he must have other arrangements. Chen Qi had no choice but to agree, and turned back to his back office to prepare for negotiations.
Now that we are ready to negotiate, of course we can't be mean to the Huns in the inn. We still have to let the envoy recover quickly so that we can start negotiating quickly!
When he thought of this, Chen Qi hurriedly ordered someone to go to the inn to give instructions. Otherwise, he was really afraid that the captains of the Mo Dao Army would do something bad in secret again.
It would be troublesome if he really killed someone. It didn't matter if a few guards died. After all, Guan Fu could be regarded as getting both the stolen goods and others, and the Huns were responsible for this matter first, but if the envoy was killed, it would be troublesome. If it's too much trouble, the nature will be completely different.
When he thought of Guan Fu, Chen Qi remembered the letter from Guan Fu. He hurried back to his desk, took a small dagger and cut the paint on the letter tube. After pouring out the letter inside, Chen Qi Everyone was immediately confused.
