Chapter 839 His Kingdom
The envoy of the Qin army soon arrived at the camp. He opened the letter of surrender sent by the other party, glanced at it, smiled and said in fluent Da Qin dialect,
"Although this Chanyu is young, he is not someone who will kneel down and worship with just a piece of paper."
"If Great Qin wants me to surrender, it must show some sincerity."
Of course he will not surrender, but since the Qin Army envoy is here, it means that the Qin Army is not far away.
He can use delaying tactics to buy time for the tribe. Even if he still has to fight in the end, he can reduce his own losses.
Hearing this, the envoy of the Qin Army was slightly stunned, because the other party's reaction was somewhat different from what his master told him.
Such a private letter from the master cannot be handed over.
Because the master has said that only if the other party is determined not to surrender can he hand over another letter.
So he frowned slightly and asked,
"I wonder what Shanyu wants?"
Li quickly said,
"Now the tribe is short of clothing, salt, bronze, ironware, etc., and I hope the Qin army will provide more support."
"The Qin army must also retreat a hundred miles away immediately, so as not to affect the grazing of my tribe."
"besides…"
Li made many demands in one go.
He learned this skill from his uncle. Every time his uncle wanted to do something, he would always speak loudly first, and then slowly lower the request, making it appear that he had made a huge concession to achieve his true purpose.
The envoy of the Qin Army had a strange look on his face as he listened. He had already heard that the other party was not sincere in surrendering. In this way, the master's mission could be completed.
So he opened his mouth and said,
"This envoy will convey these requests to my general. In addition, my master also has a letter to give you."
After saying that, the envoy of Great Qin took out a sealed document from his arms and sent it over amid Li's doubts.
Then he bowed and turned to leave.
After Li finished reading the document in his hand, his expression suddenly became strange, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself,
"There are actually traitors in the Qin army."
He never expected the information above, but someone in the Qin army was willing to tell him the layout of the Qin army in the city-states in the west.
He was also willing to help him provide supplies after he went to the west.
The condition is to provide the opponent with manpower and soldiers.
Just as Li was thinking about how to deal with it, King Zuo Xian hurried in from outside and said,
"Why did Shan Yu Qin's army come?"
Although they have a large number of people now, the entire tribe is still relatively weak. If they really fight, their losses will be huge.
Li said calmly,
"The Qin army is here to persuade them to surrender, and I am negotiating terms with them."
Li briefly talked about what had just happened, but did not mention the document in his hand.
After hearing this, King Zuo Xian was stunned.
"Chanyu, do you want to surrender?"
Of course he didn't believe that the other party would surrender. If he really had this intention, he could just stay in the royal court like the second and third princes.
Li showed a smile at this time and said,
"Of course I will not surrender, but the longer we can negotiate with the Qin army, the better."
King Zuo Xian's eyes lit up and he returned,
"Chanyu, you are trying to delay them."
Li nodded and said,
"Let others not be too nervous. This Shanyu will delay time, and the number of Qin troops is not very large. We will definitely be able to enter the west."
He now has to give others confidence.
King Zuo Xian naturally understood. He looked at the other party with some admiration and said,
"Your wisdom is higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea."
Faced with the flattery of King Zuo Xian, Li just waved his hand indifferently and let him go do the work. The flattery he heard around Uncle Xu was so varied and endless that these people could not compare.
After King Zuoxian left, Li took out the documents again. He would definitely not surrender, but there was room for exploitation in this matter.
His current purpose is very clear, which is to leave with his people.
Then just get rid of the Qin army's pursuit, and my uncle said that there are many ways to achieve the goal.
For example, to deal with these Qin troops, you don't necessarily need to defeat the opponent, you just need to prevent the opponent from having time to pester you.
Thinking of this, Li took out a piece of cloth and wrote a brief letter. Then he called his attendants and said,
"Send this letter back to the royal court and ask the second prince to take it back to Da Qin."
Although they came out, they still had contact with the Huns' royal court.
He wrote this letter to his uncle, and the content was very simple. He told the other party that there were traitors in the Qin army.
As long as within one or two months, uncle comes and orders the Qin army to catch the traitor and give him time, it will be enough.
He could even pretend to be friends with this traitor of the Qin Army, and slowly find out the other party's true identity.
When the time is right, handing over the other party to calm the uncle's anger is also a very good deal.
After staying in Da Qin for so long, he knew how powerful Da Qin was, and he never thought of becoming an enemy of Da Qin from the beginning.
Taking people away was also to maintain the clan's status in Great Qin.
Soon the messenger left the camp and headed towards the royal court of the Huns.
At this time, the envoy of Great Qin also returned to his camp and told several people the conditions proposed by Li.
"Huh, this kid has no intention of surrendering! He's just stalling for time!"
Zhou Bo said directly at this time that of course he saw through the other party's purpose.
Lu even said,
"Then what are you waiting for? I will directly lead people to clean up their outer tribes without giving them any time to breathe."
Zhang Liang glanced at the messenger at this time, and when he saw the messenger nodded slightly, he felt happy and then said,
"Two generals, this is actually just a negotiation technique."
"He can make demands, and we can naturally make counteroffers."
"If we attack directly, if the news reaches the court, the nobles and powerful officials will inevitably attack us, regardless of the lives of the sergeants."
"And you two need to know that the pension for an elite cavalryman of Great Qin is extremely high."
After hearing this, the two fell silent.
Lu frowned and said,
"We are soldiers, why do we think about these things?"
Zhou Bo did not refute. He was not only talented in military affairs, but also had a long-term perspective in political affairs.
Now that Da Qin has settled down, the focus will be on developing Da Qin's internal affairs, and the military aspect will definitely be weakened.
Moreover, with His Royal Highness's love for the army and the people, he would not like heavy casualties.
So if you can really make the other party surrender, it is the best choice.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Liang quickly said,
"Two generals, just leave these matters to me."
"And I don't mean to give up the offense completely. Even if it's negotiation, we have to put some pressure on them."
Hearing this, although Lu was not convinced, he finally said,
"As you say."
Then he left angrily.
Zhou Bo also nodded and said,
"Then I'll bother you, good brother."
Zhang Liang suppressed the joy in his heart at this time and returned,
"Don't dare to take credit for things that are part of your job."
He knows that his current plan is already half successful. As long as he successfully reaches an agreement with the other party, he will have his own country!
That was his capital to avenge his parents and brothers!
At this time, looking at Zhang Liang who was thinking deeply, Zhou Bo couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The other party really did his best. He happened to send the letter recommending the other party to His Highness the Crown Prince along with the military newspaper.
