Time was precious, so Liu Che and Wusun Dalu seized the time and reached deals on many commodities.
As the prince of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che promised that the Han Dynasty could provide Wusun Dalu with a thousand bolts of silk, a hundred stones of rhubarb, and no less than this amount of pepper at a preferential price every year.
In exchange, Wusun Dalu promised to do everything possible to find and obtain new plant seeds for the Han Dynasty. For every pound of new plant seeds provided, the Han Dynasty would unconditionally give an additional hundred bolts of silk or ten stones of rhubarb and pepper as a return gift.
Han and Uzbekistan have initially agreed that when the time is right, the two countries will send envoys to each other and establish a brotherly alliance for friendly cooperation and mutual benefit.
Of course, these are all verbal agreements.
Not a word fell on the paper.
Therefore, there is really no binding force at all.
Whether it can continue to be implemented depends entirely on the private wishes of Liu Che and Da Lu.
But then again, such agreements and agreements are, on the contrary, even stronger.
Finally, the two agreed on the transaction location and delivery method.
To Liu Che's expectation, the transaction location turned out to be Youbeiping and Yanmenguan in the Han Dynasty, not Yunzhong as Liu Che had thought before.
Because Yunzhong is directly facing the Hetao area, that is, Kunxie, Xiutu, Loufan, Baiyang and other famous Xiongnu powerful tribes.
As for Youbeiping and Yanmenguan, they faced tribes with deep-rooted influence from the royal court.
Liu Che looked at Da Lu and showed a meaningful smile.
If a monk can touch it, a Taoist priest can certainly touch it!
This big man can bribe those tribes, and the Han Dynasty can also bribe them!
Don't think that the Huns are all chaste and martyr women with three chastities and five lords!
Since the beginning of history, there has been no shortage of leading parties within the Xiongnu. Historical records record several cases of being bribed by the Han Dynasty with the intention of launching coups.
The most famous one is naturally the one that led to Su Wu's detention.
Although, these stories all took place during the period when the Xiongnu power was declining.
Now, it is difficult to bribe and cultivate the leading party.
But if it's just to buy some information or protect a few people from passing through his territory, Liu Che believes that it can still be done.
This is probably an unexpected surprise.
After the transaction was agreed upon, Liu Che and Wusun Dalu quickly left.
Liu Che changed into his prince's regular clothes in a side hall outside the imperial garden gate, and then walked slowly back to the Xuanshi Hall.
Taking advantage of the time, when Liu Che arrived at the Xuanshi Hall, the Xiongnu envoys just came out of the Xuanshi Hall.
Like Liu Che, these guys had just completed a negotiation.
This world is very realistic.
As soon as the news of Liu Bi's revolt reached Chang'an, the Huns immediately jumped up and down.
He kept saying, "I, the great Huns, control hundreds of thousands of dollars", and they were threatening and intimidating both overtly and covertly.
No one can do anything when encountering such scoundrels.
Those who fall behind will be beaten. This is an eternal truth.
Relatively speaking, the Huns now only have gold, silver and silk, which is really lucky for the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, no matter how unreasonable the conditions proposed by the Huns were, the Han Dynasty monarchs and ministers could only sit at the negotiation table and negotiate with them one by one.
Liu Che looked at these smug guys coming out of the Xuanshi Palace arrogantly.
I really couldn't help but run up and give them a slap.
After a desperate effort, Liu Che suppressed the rage in his heart.
Seeing these Huns disappearing from sight, Liu Che shook his fist fiercely. He swore that one day, the Huns would pay back all the blood debt they owed the Han people with interest, and he would also make
They tasted being humiliated.
When he came to Xuanshi Hall and met the emperor's father, Liu Che knelt down to say hello as usual.
"Prince, has everything been settled?" Emperor Liu Qi asked.
Liu Che answered respectfully: "When I return to my father, everything has been settled..."
Therefore, Liu Che explained the contents of the agreement he had negotiated with Wusun Dalu.
After hearing this, Emperor Liu Qi nodded and said, "The Crown Prince has done a good job in this matter..."
Then he asked again: "The prince is sure that the Wusun people will find alfalfa?"
Liu Che nodded affirmatively.
Just now, Liu Che had already asked Da Lu.
After asking, Liu Che found out that he originally wanted to rely on the Huns to get alfalfa, but it was basically impossible to get it.
It turns out that according to what Da Lu said, alfalfa is only found in Daxia established by the Yuezhi people in the Western Regions.
This herb was regarded as a national treasure in Daxia, and the Yuezhi people and the Huns had a deep hatred. It was almost impossible to rely on the Huns to obtain this national treasure of the Yuezhi people.
Dalu knew this because he was relatively close to Daxia, and the Yuezhi and Wusun were also feuding. Therefore, he was more concerned about the current situation of the Yuezhi people, so he knew it.
The emperor Liu Qi gave a wry smile and said to Liu Che: "Prince, the new treaty between Han and Hungary has been finalized. This year, I will add a thousand pieces of silk, two hundred stones of rhubarb, and fifty stones of pepper. Everything else remains as before..."
When Liu Che heard this, he felt very uncomfortable.
Originally, we had made an agreement with the Huns before, and the two countries exchanged their respective needs through trade.
However, as soon as Liu Bi launched an army, the Huns immediately turned their backs and refused to admit their defeat.
In other words, taking advantage of Liu Bi's opportunity to raise his troops, the Huns stole a large amount of money from the Han Dynasty without paying a cent.
This was because the Xiongnu Chanyu had a letter of credence passed to him. In the letter of credence, the Chanyu was relatively gentle, and he personally promised peace and reiterated the old alliance between the two countries. Otherwise, the Huns would have opened their mouths even more.
This incident made Liu Che know the meaning of national humiliation for the first time in his life.
For the first time in his third life, he personally experienced the feeling of being blackmailed by life when the country is not strong enough, the fist is not strong enough.
This feeling made him angry, made him gnash his teeth, and also made him deeply understand what it means for a weak country to have no diplomacy.
"In the past, books always talked about the Paris Agreement and so on. I didn't feel anything. Now, I finally know that in this world, power is truth!" Liu Che told himself in his heart: "If I don't want to be ashamed of today, I will
You must work hard to become stronger, and in the future, you will repay the other person with his own methods!"
…………………………
Thousands of miles away, the Xiongnu Shan Yuting was in the pasture at the moment.
The Xiongnu Chanyu military ministers were faced with a choice.
An envoy came from the Han people in the south, an envoy from the king of the Han Dynasty named Zhao.
The envoy told him that the Han Dynasty was in civil strife and wanted to ask him to send troops.
In the past, the military ministers would definitely be quite happy to lend a hand to show the power of the Xiongnu. By the way, fishing in troubled waters will only catch as much as you can.
But now, it is not a good time.
Not long ago, he summoned all the allies and tribal leaders and personally issued an order to abide by the covenant and not invade south.
Although, what the Huns said is no different from farts in the face of interests.
However, he swallowed back what he said so quickly.
For a ruler, this is somewhat taboo, and may make him think that he is not dignified enough.
What's more, compared to the Han Dynasty in the south, at this moment, all his attention was focused on the Yuezhi, the feudal enemy of the Xiongnu, in the west.
After the main body of the Yuezhi tribe moved westward, the Yuezhi tribe who stayed on the grassland called themselves the Little Yuezhi.
They have been in trouble with the Huns.
Recently, a series of intelligence has shown that the Yuezhi people, who have established a firm foothold in the West, are interested in reaching out to the East again.
A certain small Yuezhi tribe has suddenly grown abnormally recently. It has repeatedly attacked several traditional Xiongnu pastures in the west, killing hundreds of herdsmen.
Should we go south, lend a hand and reap some benefits, or should we pay attention to the recent trends in the West and concentrate our efforts to eliminate the possible resurgence of our mortal enemy.
For military officials, this multiple-choice question is easy to choose.
So, he said to his ministers: "The alliance between the Han Dynasty in the south and my great Xiongnu is still valid. No tribe is allowed to violate my will. People are optimistic about the tribes of King Youxian! But there is disobedience
