Chapter 6 Killing the King Will Allow You to Surrender

"What? There are only a few Han envoys? How did they hide from the army and lurk to such a deep place in the camp?"

Although Qiu Liju was a little prepared, when he saw Li Su and his party approaching, he realized the size of Li Su's team and was still shocked.

Qiu Liju was uncontrollably unwilling to believe it: "This is impossible. When Tao Qian was the governor of Youzhou, seven or eight out of ten martial officials in Youzhou were deserted and playful. Gongsun Zan was already a hero among the people, and there was no one above Youzhou. Why did Liu Envoy Liu come to office for only five months and dare to go deep into the tiger's den? Could it be that Liu Youzhou is really a chosen person, and all the wise men return to him like water?"

It is not difficult for Liu Yu's envoy to enter Qiu Liju's camp. If they were willing to make a big fuss, they agreed to come to negotiate, and with Liu Yu's face, Qiu Liju would definitely not kill the envoy.

The difficulty lies in the fact that it was only a few people that they could reveal their identity until they finally left the central army's tent and concealed them all from Zhang Ju's eyes and ears.

These guards are definitely one of the most powerful warriors in a hundred, and even the most powerful generals with thousands of enemies!

As for the envoy's courage, I'm afraid he won't get a tiger's son without entering the tiger's den. Thirty-six cavalry conquered Ban Chao and Ban Dingyuan of Shanshan Kingdom!

Before he could speak, Qiu Liju's heart had a bit of emotion and awe for "Liu Youzhou was so prosperous."

When Li Su walked under the lamp in the tent and was illuminated by the butter candlelight, Qiu Liju's surprise was a little more: Is this man so young?

I'm afraid I'm not even in my prime.

But Li Su's calmness and calmness in the face of danger seems to make people forget his youth and do not look down on him at all.

"The Han Dynasty guards the Wuhuan School Captain and the Chief Secretary of the Jie Dynasty. Li Su, the Youzhou master, has seen Qiu Liju Shanyu. This is the token of my envoy. As for the imperial court, it came overnight today and is not convenient to carry it."

Li Su sat upright in the account, and in accordance with diplomatic etiquette, he first took out Liu Yu's handwritten letter and private token to verify.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Wuhuan and Xianbei people generally called tribal leaders "Da Ren", but the Han Dynasty still used the convention of the Xiongnu, and the highest leader was called "Shan Yu". (There are many adults, but there is usually only one Shan Yu)

Li Su represents the Han Dynasty today, so of course he has to call Shanyu. At the same time, this also expresses Liu Yu's hope that the "Wuhuan of the Three Counties" can be headed by Qiu Li and surrender to the Han Dynasty again.

Diplomacy, etiquette, superiority and inferiority are incomparable. The majesty of the Han Dynasty cannot be lost.

Although Qiu Liju gathered nearly 100,000 chaotic people under his command, he did not dare to ignore Li Su's every move and treated him with courtesy.

Li Su was also secretly observing that Qiu Liju was a tall and mighty Hu man. His skin folds were as tough as a knife carving, and his nasolabial folds on his cheeks were deeply sunken.

Because Hu's skin was rough, if he hadn't read the information, he knew that Qiu Liju was only in his forties, just looking at his appearance, he would probably have believed him for fifty or sixty.

Moreover, from the other party's expression when they first came into contact, Li Su judged that Qiu Liju was indeed shaken and wanted to see if there was a possibility of reconciliation with the Han Dynasty again.

So Li Su took the lead in getting to the point: "After the envoy took office, he understood the feelings and knew that Tao Qian owed you more than two years of military pay. If you were just trying to make money, this matter would have been forgiven.

Moreover, the messenger has always been generous and loving the people, and it is unknown that even if you have to make up for some owed wages. But you dare to follow the thief and rebel. Could it be that you really want to be buried with Zhang Ju?"

Qiu Liju pondered it for a while and thought it would be better not to be scheming with the Han people. It would be better to be straightforward: "Shi Li, we are rough people and can't speak, so just say it. If Liu Youzhou had been here a few months ago, we wouldn't have reached this point.

But now, I have made two mistakes in a row. Even if you say on behalf of the court that you will not blame others, we are not at ease. We know that the court has lost a lot of shame. Even if Liu Youzhou is willing to forgive him, there will be no sincerity from the superiors. I don’t believe you.”

Li Su snorted coldly, "The envoy is very sincere. As long as you no longer follow the thief, he can make up for you some of the owed wages first, and promise not to settle the matter later - but, asking you to do a few things, not for him, but for your own peace of mind."

Qiu Liju was suspicious and felt incredible: "Although we owe money, we also plundered and harmed several counties. Just Liu Youzhou is willing to make up for the money we owe money? He thought it was already a mess."

Li Su's face was correct: "All things go back to each other, and I will let you say something to me. Zilong, bring it up first."

With a command, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei came over with a box. It was not easy to carry these two boxes on the way to come today. Two war horses were divided into special carrying them.

Among them is gold worth 30 million yuan, which is the first payment to make up for the wages. Liu Yu and Li Su both knew that this money was just a small amount compared to the military wages of 200 million yuan a year. But the first deposit was a little more refreshing, so that it would be better to win the trust.

Qiu Liju leaned over and stroked the gold. Suddenly, he looked depressed and started to laugh at himself: "What's the use of having money now? If it weren't for the little gold and silver that made me confused for a while, I wouldn't have turned a blind eye to support him at the moment when Zhang Ju proclaimed himself emperor."

Li Su's ears slightly raised, and she looked like "It was not as expected": "After Zhang Ju escaped from the pursuit of me and Wei Liu and fled here over Yanshan. He must have given you most of the gold and silver robbed from Jizhou, right?

At that time, he must have been a sweet word, saying, "With the large amount of money you have obtained this time, why worry about not being able to spend this winter," and then bribe you to support him temporarily. Unfortunately, in this cold winter month, or even the famine of spring next year, you can only experience the pain of gold and silver that cannot eat cold and cannot be worn."

When Qiu Liju heard this, he felt aggrieved and trusted Li Su more. Because Li Su guessed it too accurately. When Zhang Ju was about to be emperor in July, he fooled him like this. He was also blamed for being deceived. He was deceived at that time. He just took so much money from Zhang Ju, so he was embarrassed not to support him as emperor.

Later I realized that in the bitter and cold lands in the north, once the winter and spring are blocked by the southern agricultural peoples, all trade embargoes are cut off, and even if you have money, you can't buy anything. At this time, gold and silver will temporarily become waste.

Li Su gave the other party some reaction time to let the other party prepare for regret, and then said:

"Now, do you regret it? The envoy will give you a clear way - kill Zhang Ju and Suli, and offer your head. The envoy will first reward you with one year's military salary, and it can guarantee that you will not blame yourself from now on. In the future, your tribe will take on the mercenary responsibilities of the court for many years."

Qiu Liju actually shivered slightly when he heard it: "Kill... Zhang Ju? I have supported him to be emperor. If you kill him, wouldn't the people in the world look down on our Wuhuan tribes even more? At that time, everyone would think that we are capricious and would still use it with confidence?"

Obviously, what Qiu Liju is interested in is not the one-time 200 million yuan in repatriation, but Li Su mentioned that "In the future, if the imperial court wants to find mercenaries, he can still look for you every year without any grudges, and give him enough money."

That is a long-term deal!

Because the Wuhuan tribes served as mercenaries for the Han Dynasty for 150 years, many warriors had no other survival skills and could only serve in the army.

The reason why Qiu Liju is afraid that he will not die even if he surrenders is because he is afraid that the long-term employment rate will not be guaranteed.

No matter how many rewards are, it is ultimately the most important thing to keep the green mountains there.

Moreover, this kind of long-term meal ticket is not enough for Liu Yu to make a promise now - who knows how long Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, can be used as a member of Liu Yu? What if Liu Yu is transferred again after the Juchun Rebellion is pacified?

Can't believe it!

Li Su stood up, tightened her cloak, walked to the door of the big tent, looked at the dark night sky outside, and whispered but proudly: "Shanyu, this is a once-in-a-century opportunity for atonement. If this year is not allowed, there may not be such a good opportunity in the future. I hope you think it clearly."

"Why did Chief Li say this? I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration." Qiu Liju was not scared, and followed Li Su, walked to the door of the tent, and secretly observed Li Su from the back.

Li Suzhizhu sneered in the grip: "Haha, why do you say this? Of course, it is because this year was the best time for your Wuhuan tribes to prevent being poached! I wonder if Shanyu had heard of it. In May, the court originally wanted to dispatch the Southern Xiongnu from Bingzhou to pacify Shanggu Nanqiao and Zhang Chun."

Qiu Liju didn't care: "Of course I know, but aren't they unable to come? If Yu Fuluo had not been blocked, I wouldn't have the courage to follow Zhang Ju."

Li Su turned around and warned seriously: "That's because Yu Fuluo was persuaded from Qiang Qu Shanyu with a letter! Although it was not my original intention to persuade Yu Fuluo to help the court, it was just that General He Jin was determined to do it, and as a subordinate, he could only help him implement it. I had long expected that after the Southern Xiongnu cavalry was recruited, they might become elbows before they could be used."

Qiu Liju looked up and down: "Is that so? Isn't Li Changshi an official in Youzhou? He cares about everything."

Li Su smiled slightly and took out a killing weapon from his arms: "This is a reply from Qiang Qu Shanyu to Liu Gong, who was still a master at the time. Please take it to see it yourself."

Qiu Liju looked shocked and confused. He quickly took it and checked it carefully, and then checked the seals of both parties and various locations that could verify anti-counterfeiting. He found that the letter was actually true!

There is no doubt that this is the reply to Li Su's persuasion letter from the 400th Han Dynasty credit value and the 8,000 cavalry of the Southern Xiongnu. In the reply, it is obvious that Li Su's persuasion effect can be seen.

"This young man, who has such skills, did not give a penny of military pay, so he asked Yu Fuluo to bring Shanyu's elite guards to suppress the rebellion to the Han Dynasty? What an eloquence and the ability to persuade him, how amazing the original letter he sent to Qiangqu Shanyu was?"

Qiu Liju replenishes his brain and finds that he can't imagine it at all.

Li Su took advantage of the other party's opportunity to shake his mind and continued to put pressure: "The fate of the Han Dynasty will last forever. The ancestors of the Southern Xiongnu missed once 150 years ago and stood on Wang Mang's side, so they rarely received employment from the court in these 150 years. You have been taking it for 150 years. I think you are in a blessing and don't know how to ask for it again-

If you don’t repent this year, you and the Southern Xiongnu will return to the same level of rebellion. If the Southern Xiongnu repent first and quell the civil strife next year, you Wuhuan will go back to the outer border and continue to compete with the Xianbei for the pasture. After most of the people here starve to death, the remaining population will be able to survive by relying on the pasture north of Yanshan.”

"The Han Dynasty will last forever... That's right, Qiang Qu Shanyu's reply letter to you vaguely wrote that the reason why he is willing to listen to your advice is because he believes that the Han Dynasty will last forever! But will the Han Dynasty really have the fate to last forever?"

Qiu Liju’s last question is not a real pure question, but a struggle of the soul and a feeling of the fog that cannot be seen through.

It was the seduction of Qiang Qu Shanyu's old reply letter to the incomprehensible parts in his soul just now.

However, when he asked this question, the answer that Li Su could give him now was obviously much more extra evidence than when Li Su persuaded Qiang Qu Shanyu half a year ago, and the degree of perfection of this theory of destiny was much higher.

"Where did the Shanyu come to ask? Have you not read a piece called "Dianxing Blessings" recently to help you understand the destiny? Shanyu can ask someone, from ancient times to the present, there are exceptions to the counterexamples of "Diancheng Blessings". Think about it carefully, is Zhang Ju a person who was punished by heaven - you don't need to read the meaning of the scriptures, just look at the examples in history."

The accumulation of power of history is sometimes the best weapon that makes people dare not imagine.

Even if the Hu people can’t understand the Bible, they can always understand the story.

"People come, please Xianyufu."

Xian Yufu was from Wuhuan, Yuyang. He had already been a small official in the Han Dynasty system, but when Qiu Liju rebelled, he swept him back. Because he was a little Wuhuan literati, he was soon valued by Qiu Liju and was attracted as an aide.

Historically, after Qiu Liju was correct, Xian Yufu also returned to Liu Yu to do an ordinary job, but now he can only "retreat in Qiu Ying".

Xian Yufu was soon called by Qiu Liju, and Qiu Liju asked him: "Have you read something called "Dian Xing You Fu"? I heard that it can simply identify whether a thief can succeed?"

Xian Yufu was stunned. He didn't know who Li Su was in the account, but just replied carefully: "I have read it. Some of the classics in this book are quite profound, but the conclusions are simple and easy to understand. However, the book never discusses... whether the thief can succeed. It only discusses which thief will be punished by God and will undoubtedly die."

Winning requires many conditions, and by chance, this is unpredictable. The Han River has been working hard to reach 99%, without the last 1% luck, so you still have to continue to "put your back on your own and wait for the time".

But failure is often predictable, because as long as you make some sufficient and fatal mistakes, you will definitely fail.

This is called successful experiences cannot be summarized, and failure lessons can be learned.

Qiu Liju doesn't know much about the big truth, but after hearing Xian Yufu's conservative statement, he has a little more favorable impression of "The Palace of the Blessed Destiny": he dare not speak all the words, which means that he is still relatively rigorous and reliable!

"Then you tell me, according to that statement, is Zhang Ju supposed to be punished by God?" Qiu Liju asked with a relaxed expression.

The reason why it is easy is that he plans to listen to it as a joke, and he does not expect to make decisions based on these divine things.

At best, it is just a subtle and slight impact on decision-making, suggesting.

Xian Yufu thought for a while: "Zhang Ju... is also considered to be punished by God. He and Zhang Jiao are both punished by God. This question of doubt happens to have similar questions, but it is just asking Qu Xing. I will go back to my account to get the book."

Li Su was beside him and smiled slightly.

The question Cai Yan asked at the beginning was given by Zhang. But Li Su felt that if that was too much of an effort, everyone knew it.

So when the manuscript was finally formed, Li Su asked Cai Yan to change the example to Qu Xing.

But I believe that as long as Qiu Liju and Xian Yufu are not mentally retarded, they will all be associated.
