For him, this was a huge breakthrough. If it hadn't been for this day, if he wanted to lead an army by himself, even the lowest establishment would have required a thousand people.

As long as he can show his due value, the road to promotion will be smooth.

"Master Feng, we meet again!"

Seeing Feng Jing again, Tuosang greeted him with a smile.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Lord Tuosang is still as charming as ever! I wonder if you are here today, but will you bring me any good news?"

Feng Jing smiled and asked knowingly.

"Master Feng is joking, I wouldn't have dared to come without Da Shanyu's order!"

Takusan said with a smile.

"Then, I wonder what the Great Chanyu thinks about this matter?"

Feng Jing was taking his time anyway, and at this moment, the initiative had already passed to him.

"What my Great Chanyu means is that he can agree to the exchange of 8,000 prisoners of war for 50,000 Han slaves, but these 50,000 Han slaves can only be chosen among the Chanyu's own tribe, and the Great Chanyu has nothing to do with matters related to other tribes. Way guaranteed!"

Anyway, things have reached the point where they are now, and it's basically just staring back and forth, so Takusang just goes straight.

This must be the last concession that the Xiongnu Chanyu can make. If the Han people still don't agree, then they can only go to war.

"This... this is a serious matter. I need to send someone to ask my king. However, I think it is not a big problem. Since we have reached an agreement on this matter, should we talk about it? What about the little things below?”

Feng Jing was already happy in his heart. Eight thousand prisoners of war were exchanged for fifty thousand. The people had already made a political profit from this matter anyway.

You must know that the people who were kidnapped by the Huns were very rare to be exchanged for them. It was a blessing to be able to exchange for 50,000 people at once.

"More? I wonder what else Mr. Feng wants?"

Tuosang's face was extremely ugly. These Han people were really pushing their limits. It was already difficult to satisfy the Huns with this first request, and now they dared to go even further.

"Don't worry, I will never say anything like a lion, but our Han and Hungarian families have an agreement in advance. Your country will send a princess to the Han Dynasty, and the two families will be friends with the Qin and Jin Dynasties, so this princess is sent. But I haven’t received the dowry yet…”

When Feng Jing said this, Tuosang's nose was almost crooked with anger. Bullies don't bully people like this...

In the last war between Han and Huns, the Han Dynasty took at least tens of thousands of horses from the Huns.

Now, the war has just ended, and these Han Dynasty people have shamelessly come to the Xiongnu court to ask for dowry...

Is this really treating the Huns as soft persimmons?

"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Why don't you go back and ask the Great Chanyu about this matter first to see what he means? There are only tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and hundreds of carts of precious stones. The Great Chanyu is rich. On the one hand, can’t we get together such a small amount?”

Feng Jing spoke very lightly, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, hundreds of carts of precious stones.

If this kind of thing happened in the past, Da Shanyu might not even blink an eye.

But at this time, on the one hand, the Huns suffered heavy losses and had to use so many war horses in the winter. In the end, they lost all their money.

What's more important is that tens of thousands of Xiongnu men died, and most of these people were the elite of the Xiongnu.

It can be said that the military minister Shanyu's strength was unprecedentedly weak, and his influence within the Xiongnu dropped sharply.

Many people have begun to hesitate, wondering whether he is qualified for this big job.

Someone had faintly begun to spread rumors. Although the military minister Shanyu executed more than a dozen people very harshly, this sign was enough to scare him.

It was different on the prairie than in the Han Dynasty. The Huns had never had any loyalty at all. For them, it was their instinct to follow the strong.

If a great chanyu cannot lead them to prosperity, then why should they follow him?

"If that's the case, then I wonder if Mr. Feng has any other requests? If so, you might as well tell them together!"

Although Tuosang's expression was ugly, Feng Jing was right about this matter. He had to report it to the Great Chanyu first, and then make plans. After all, this was in the royal court, and he couldn't make any decisions on these matters.

"Of course I personally have no other requests, but you also understand that the two of us are just running errands. As for whether my king will have any other requests, I can't guarantee it!"

Tuosang rolled his eyes when he heard this. Do you think this is human speech?

This is a diplomatic relationship between the two countries, and we are not playing house with your king. Do you have to let him say this today and say that tomorrow?

However, he really couldn't make the decision in this matter, so he could only bow his hand to Feng Jing, and then go back to report to the military minister Shanyu.

"Come here, I'll write a letter and send someone to Jinyang as soon as possible, saying that everything is waiting for the king to be cut off!"

Feng Jingzhi ordered proudly.

"promise!"

Yuan Qing and the others could hear clearly outside the tent that the Huns had finally surrendered. As long as they surrendered for the first time, Master Feng would soon make them surrender for the second time.

This feeling of subduing others without fighting is really good.

If it were in the past, this would have been something that would have been unthinkable. People of the Han Dynasty had always been the ones on the receiving end. How could they have ever been so happy?

This is really a turn of events!

——————————

The news in the East Palace finally came out, and everyone was sweating for the prince.

After all, malaria can kill people in this day and age!

Not even two days had passed since the joy of having a baby, and now the child actually contracted malaria. Many people were already sighing secretly in their hearts.

Almost everyone thought that the child would not survive. The baby in confinement had malaria, which is an incurable disease in this day and age.

This incident really made the emperor very angry. Three medical officers in the imperial hospital were demoted by the emperor in a row.

If these people were not still needed to protect the safety of the palace, I am afraid that this time the entire hospital would have been cleaned up by the furious emperor.

However, compared to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince losing his beloved son, people are still more worried about whether malaria will spread in Chang'an City?

Suddenly, in major drug stores, all the medicinal materials that could be related to malaria have become more popular.

As long as there is some spare money at home, no one will not rush to prepare some...

Just when people were busy working happily, shocking news came out again in Jinwuwei Yamen.

Last night, all the gangsters captured by Jinwu Guard committed suicide one by one...
