It's final word and done.

After Hanpu and Wanyan agreed on the terms, they immediately took action.

The first place Hanpu came to was the Hachi tribe, which was close to the Wanyan tribe and was fighting fiercely with the Wanyan tribe.

Hanpu thought that if he persuaded the tribes that were fighting to leave first, it would set an example for other tribes that were about to fight, and things would be easier for other tribes.

When Hanpu came to the Hachi tribe, he directly found Demanhuntu, the chief of the Hachi tribe.

Demanhutu had heard about Hanpu and knew that he was a virtuous and intelligent old man. However, he did not get to know Hanpu because he was making a living on the territory of the Wanyan tribe.

Hanpu arrived in front of Demanhutu's compound, deliberately pretending to be old and shaky, and walked into Demanhutu's compound.

Demanchutu was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, thinking about something, when he saw an old man walking in tremblingly. He stood up quickly, greeted him, and said, "Where are you from, old man? How did I get there?" Never seen it?”

Hanpu introduced himself: "Dear Chief Hachi, I am Hanpu. I come from the Kingdom of Korea. Now I am making a living on Chief Wanyan's territory. I mainly make a living by fishing."

Demanhu Tuwen heard that it was the virtuous old man from the Wanyan tribe who had arrived. He looked shaky and old again, so he hurriedly greeted Hanpu and greeted Hanpu to sit down.

Demanhutu asked Hanpu and said: "Dear old gentleman, I know that you are a virtuous person, and I very much welcome you to come to the Hachi tribe as a guest. However, I think you are trembling when you walk. You may be sick." ?"

Hanpu replied: "No! Dear chief, it is true that Hanpu is too old and his health is not as good as before. Especially in the recent past, for some reason, he has become trembling all over. He thinks he is not far away from death." ”

Demanhutu heard the words and said: "Old sir, don't say that. Our Jurchens' sheep eat Chinese herbal medicine and drink pure water to support people! You just eat our Jurchens' mutton and drink our Jurchens' sheep." Milk tea, I'll make sure you live past ninety-nine."

Hanpu laughed when he heard this and said: "Thank you so much, Chief! With your good words, I will live to be ninety-nine years old."

Demantu also laughed when he heard the words.

After laughing, I had to greet my servants with tea and send them a letter of hospitality.

Several servants offered hand-caught mutton, butter, milk, tea, oil, fruits and other food.

Demanhutu greeted Hanpu to eat.

Hanpu looked at the table full of delicious food and pretended to be greedy, but he refused to eat.

Demanhuntu saw this and said, "Why don't you eat, Mr.? Is it not done well?"

Hanpu heard the words and said: "Thank you Chief. I came today because I have something to discuss with the Chief. I will not eat anything from the Chief until the matter is discussed successfully. If the matter is discussed successfully, can the Chief give me one?" A sheep that eats Chinese herbal medicine and drinks pure water? I will take it home, kill it, and eat it slowly."

Demanhutu heard the words and laughed and said: "The old man is telling a joke. In a grassland as big as mine, there are groups of cattle and sheep. They all eat Chinese herbal medicine and drink pure water. There are so many that I can't even count them." So a sheep is such a big deal! The old man just eats and drinks. If the negotiation fails, I will also give you a sheep. You just take it back and kill it and eat it. We Jurchens lack everything. , only there is no shortage of cattle and sheep!”

Han Pu also laughed and said: "It's a joke! It's a joke!"

After the joke was over, Hanpu looked serious and said calmly: "Dear chief, I have discovered a problem. Do you feel it?"

Demanhu Tu heard the words and didn't know what problem Han Pu was talking about. Monk Zhang Er was confused and looked at Han Pu blankly and asked: "What problem did the old gentleman find? I really don't feel this."

Han Pu said: "Dear chief, I would like to ask, why have you been engaged in a vendetta against the Wanyan tribe recently?"

Hearing this, Demanchutu said angrily: "The son of the Wanyan tribe killed the women of our Hachi tribe. It is very abominable!"

Hanpu said "Oh" and then said: "That's it!"

Demanhutu looked at Hanpu and asked: "Old sir, you are very knowledgeable. I would like to ask you, in a situation like this, do you think we can do it without a vendetta?! Old sir, you may not know, Recently, we have had several fights with the Wanyan tribe, and so far, we have killed two more people from the Wanyan tribe, and now we are waiting for him to take revenge!"

Hearing this, Hanpu said "Oh" again and said, "That's for sure. According to your Jurchen rules, the Wanyan tribe will kill four of you."

Demanhutu replied loudly: "If that happens, I will kill eight more of his people."

Han Pu said: "Then the Wanyan tribe will kill sixteen more of you."

Demanhutu replied angrily: "Then I will double the number and kill thirty-two of his people!"

Han Pu said: "Then the Wanyan tribe will kill another sixty-four people from your Hachi tribe."

Demanhutu said: "Then our Hachi tribe will kill the Wanyan tribe again..." The number reached hundreds, and Demanhutu couldn't calculate it for a while.

Hanpu continued: "Then you will kill another 128 of his people."

Demanhuntu said: "Yes! We will kill another 128 of his people."

"What are you talking about?!" Han Pu said, "Dear chief, please carefully calculate how many people there are in your Hachi tribe?"

Demanhutu blinked and said, "There are about three hundred people!"

"That's right!" Han Pu said: "Your Hachi tribe only has about 300 people in total. If you kill another 128 people from the Wanyan tribe, the Wanyan tribe will kill you for another 250 people." Sixteen people, in that case, wouldn’t we basically kill all the people of your Hachi tribe! Are you going to keep killing each other like this? No more crops? No more cattle? No more herding of sheep? The men have been killed and the women have been killed. What should we do? The women have been snatched away, and what will happen to the men? Will the Hachi tribe stop reproducing? Are they preparing to become extinct?!"

After hearing what Hanpu said, Demantu was speechless for a moment.

Hanpu breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Honorable chief, why don't you think like this, whoever kills your woman, you can just ask for his life to pay for it. Why do you need a whole group of people to take revenge?"

When De Mantu heard the words, he was startled again.

Han Pu continued: "Dear chief, I have discovered that your Jurchen tribes often fight over trivial matters such as pasture, water sources, prey, etc. During the fight, if the other party kills one of you, you must want to kill the other party. Two people; you killed two of the other party's people, and they will definitely kill four of you. How many things have you missed just because of fighting all day long? If you don't fight, your population will not decrease, and the free time can be used for grazing. , singing, dancing, why do we have to keep fighting? When will this kind of fighting end? Are you worried about it? "

Of course that’s annoying! Demanchutu thought to himself, it's not that I want to fight, it's that the other party killed one of me, and if I don't kill two of them, then what prestige do I have as a chief? How to lead and unite the whole clan?

Now, if I kill two more of his people, he will definitely kill four of my people. What if I’m not prepared to fight? If he comes to take revenge and kills four of Hachi's people, I must kill eight of his people. This is a matter of course and a helpless thing. It has to be like this!

Hanpu looked at Demantu, and with Demantu's thoughts in mind, he said, "Actually, you don't have to fight like this at all."

When De Mantu heard this, he thought to himself: That's not it! Do you think I am willing to kill and kill all day long? ! The problem is that Wanyan is not good enough, he is the one who wants to kill him! In this situation, what can I do? Just to accompany you!

Even so, Han Pu's words still moved him so much that he decided not to fight endlessly.

Hanpu's words went straight to the pain point of Demanchutu. After hearing this, Demanchutu felt a lot in his heart. However, Demanchutu thought that Hanpu was just an exile from Goryeo to Jurchen. He's just an old man. No matter how good his words are, what's the use? It doesn’t work! If it works, it has to be said by people who know it works.

Demanhutu did not expect that Hanpu was appointed by Wanyan Maode.

Hanpu looked at Demanchutu and thought about Demanchutu's thoughts. Knowing that Demanchutu was already a little tempted, he continued: "I think the distinguished chief is also a man of great wisdom and enlightenment. Think about it. , after you kill one person, you fight him endlessly, and the whole clan is involved. How much effort does it take? Besides, fighting back and forth like this is so boring and meaningless. , it’s better to follow my opinion, whoever kills your people, you should pay with his life, and don’t involve other innocent people. For example, if the third child of your tribe is killed by the fourth child of another tribe, then you go to the other tribe , just kill their fourth child, and don’t kill others indiscriminately. This matter is also the same when it comes to the other tribe, wouldn’t you save the endless fighting?”

Demanhutu heard the words and said: "What the old man said is too good, and this method is too clever."

Hanpu smiled when he heard this and said, "There are better words and clever ways than this. My noble chief, are you willing to listen?"

De Mantu heard the words and said angrily: "How are you willing to listen? You are too willing to listen, but I'm afraid you won't speak! Wise old gentleman, just speak and I will listen."

Hanpu led Demantu into the alley step by step.

Hanpu then continued to preach: "Dear chief, if there is a fight between tribes, only the head of the rebel will be killed, and then the other party will pay for the property. In this way, you will not only avoid more casualties, but also Isn't this a better word and a more clever way to compensate for the losses caused? Distinguished chief, think about it, you live by the water and roam around grazing all year round, isn't it just to accumulate some money! As long as he If the other party has a lot of money, just let him hit you, and you won’t be afraid that his money won’t reach your pocket.”
