"I have read the letter that your envoy entrusted Wei Shang to convey to me..." Liu Che stood up, looked at Qiequ Qediaonan, who had already taken the Chinese name of Di Wen, and said: "I will not agree with you.
It’s going in a circle…”
"I have already considered the terms of the messenger..."
When Qi Qu Qie Diao heard this, his breathing suddenly became rapid.
Because what the Han Emperor in front of him said next would most likely affect his entire life!
"Want to redeem the captured King Zhelan and King Aries?" Liu Che said with a sneer: "This is not something that cannot be discussed..."
Qi Qu Qi Diao Nan was immediately overjoyed.
For Shan Yuting, if he could redeem King Zhelan and King Aries.
Shan Yuting can pay almost any price for this!
As long as these two people can be redeemed, Shan Yuting's face can be saved.
Otherwise, if these two people were taken to their ancestral temple by the Han Dynasty, their heads and blood would be sacrificed to their ancestors.
That Shan Yuting's face was about to be stepped into the mud.
Of course, it would be even better if we could redeem the captured Luantang clan and the nobles of the four major clans!
Liu Che looked at Qie Qu's confused look and raised his eyebrows.
To be honest, the Han Dynasty should not let any captured Huns nobles return to the grasslands.
If you let the tiger go back to the mountain, there will be endless troubles.
China's international relations with the entire Northeast Asia region have always adhered to the tradition of "eliminating the roots".
When it comes to the defeated, the lower class people and herdsmen may be forgiven, but the upper class nobles must be bloodbathed.
This is exactly the opposite of Europe.
However, the current situation is somewhat special.
The Han army was victorious, but it was also extremely exhausted. The entire Longyou-Dai area needed to recuperate.
At this time, of course, we cannot overly stimulate the Huns.
Otherwise, people will turn the table over with you.
Although Liu Che was not afraid of the Huns, he was confident of completely destroying the invading Huns.
However, he didn't want to pay the price of the entire north being destroyed.
Besides, the Huns do have chips in their hands.
The number of people of the Xia who were captured and plundered in the past few decades is conservatively estimated to be at least 100,000.
These people were taken captive in the past because of the country's lack of military preparedness.
Now, the country has become stronger and has a chance to redeem itself.
Of course I have to redeem it.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Lu enacted legislation to encourage and reward citizens who redeemed themselves captured in wars.
Liu Che can't be inferior to the slave owners of the Spring and Autumn Period!
Moreover, Emperor Liu has always flaunted that he loves the people like his own sons and regards the people as his own flesh and blood.
If we can redeem and welcome back those people and compatriots who were captured and taken captive in the war through diplomatic means, this will have a significant effect on stabilizing the rule of the Liu family and further strengthening the basic cards of the Han Dynasty.
Think about history, Emperor Zhao redeemed Su Wu and instantly established his reputation, prestige and authority.
One hundred thousand people and one Su Wu. Of course, one hundred thousand people weigh more!
only……
If the Huns wanted to simply rely on words and deceive without taking actual actions, Liu Che would not accept it.
Moreover, a defeated country must act like a defeated country.
He coquettishly put forward so many conditions.
It was necessary to redeem the captured nobles, to re-establish the peace treaty, to continue the weapons-for-slaves and livestock plans, and to have Liu Che issue an edict to recognize the status of military ministers.
Who is the defeated country?
Do the military ministers still think that the Hun Empire is still as powerful as it was five years ago?
The whole of Northeast Asia is his bathhouse. You can take whatever you want, whatever you want?
Even the Manchu Qing Dynasty had to bow their heads obediently and pay compensation and cede territory.
Can you Xiongnu escape this sword?
Liu Che looked at Ji Qu and said, "However, your country must admit defeat and send an envoy to apologize. And the envoy must be from the Xiongnu royal family. He must come to Wuzhou fortress in person to sacrifice the soldiers and people for my death. Sincerely, kowtow."
Apologize!"
"Moreover, Shanyu must ensure that such an incident will never happen again!"
"The Chanyu must cede the land and compensate my Han Dynasty for the losses caused by this incident..."
Liu Che said countless musts in one breath, which made his brain hurt a little.
"Only when Shanyu promises to recognize these conditions of mine, will I believe in the sincerity of Shanyu and your country..."
"This..." Qiqu Qediaonan shook his head and begged with a troubled face: "Your Majesty, the Chanyu and the Xiongnu will never agree to your conditions!"
Of course I won’t agree!
Whoever promises ****!
With the tradition and personality of the Xiongnu, even if Mao Dun does this, the nobles below will immediately teach him how to behave!
"Of course I know..." Liu Che looked at Qie Qu with a smile and said, "That's why I deliberately put forward these conditions to facilitate the operation of the envoy..."
Liu Che clapped his hands and asked Wang Dao to hand over a letter of credence that he had drafted long ago to Qie Qu Qie Ni. Then he continued: "If I don't put forward these harsh conditions, how can I show my skill as an envoy?"
When Qiqu Qiediao heard this, he immediately understood.
He knelt down in ecstasy and worshiped sincerely: "Your Majesty's generosity really touches the foreign minister. The foreign minister will definitely repay your Majesty's generosity!"
Then he took the certificate of credence and held it in his arms as if it were a treasure.
With this certificate, his status in the Huns is really as stable as Mount Tai.
It's not just about admiring him and entrusting him with important responsibilities.
Other Shan Yuting nobles will also respect and value him.
Think about it, such harsh conditions were resolved by him.
He is not a talent, who is a talent?
Liu Che continued to smile, clapped his hands, and said: "In addition, in order to better work for the friendship between Han and Hungary, I have prepared some small gifts for the envoy..."
Not long after, four or five eunuchs came out holding plates one by one.
Liu Che opened the first plate, revealed the contents, and said: "This is my imperial decree. The envoy is appointed Marquis of Wusun and has a household of 10,000 households. If the envoy is wronged by the Xiongnu in the future, he can do whatever he wants.
Come to Chang'an to find me, and I will definitely fulfill today's promise! In addition, I also selected a site for the envoy in Chang'an, and created the 'Wusun Hou Residence' with regulations like a king..."
The old Liu family played this trick very smoothly.
I remember when Lu Wan ran to the Huns.
Then, after Empress Lu came to power, she immediately ordered that Lu Wan should still be retained in the Chang'an Marquis residence, and even his income from the Marquis State should be kept for him without any change.
Later, when Lu Wan's mother and brother returned to Chang'an, they were immediately shocked.
Their residence and family home in Chang'an are still exactly the same as when they left Chang'an. The furniture and decorations in the home are still as new, and the housekeeper and servants in the family have not been changed.
What moved them even more was that even the cellar was filled with gold. This gold was the income of the Marquis of Chang'an.
As a result, the old Lu family began to follow the path of the second and fifth generation.
Likewise, there was Zhao Tuo, King of South Vietnam.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong, in order to win over Zhao Tuo, he was prevented from causing trouble in the south.
Special people were sent to bring all the members of Zhao Tuo's family to Chang'an, where they were given fine clothes, fine food, and prosperity.
In addition, they also sent people to build Zhao Tuo's ancestral tomb and selected people to guard the tomb for his family until today.
This treatment has never changed.
Thus, this was the beginning of South Vietnam becoming a vassal and sending the prince to Chang'an.
Therefore, the issue of Zhao Tuo and South Vietnam can be solved in the hands of Liu Che.
Otherwise, without these preparations, the Han Dynasty would have no credibility with Zhao Tuo. I am afraid that the Han Dynasty and the Yue Dynasty would already be at war with each other.
For Liu Che, if the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem!
Not to mention this kind of face-saving project and superficial articles.
It doesn't cost much to build a waiting house for Qiequ Qiediao, and the annual maintenance cost is only tens of thousands.
Then just deposit some gold for him in name and just lie and fool him.
But this price can be exchanged for a high-ranking Xiongnu nobleman who can deliver news and intelligence to the Han Dynasty for a long time.
This deal is worth it!
After Qi Qu Qie Diao finished listening, his eyes were shining and he couldn't help himself.
A Marquis of Wanhu in the Han Dynasty?
This is equivalent to a leader on the grassland, and his annual income is n times the income of most tribes on the grassland.
He swallowed hard, then knelt down and said: "Your Majesty loves you so much, I have nothing to repay, I can only die for your Majesty!"
For Qiequ Qiediaonan, the preferential treatment and kindness given to him by the Han emperor were as warm as the spring breeze.
He was almost moved.
Such generous conditions were almost enough for him to sell his parents to the Han Dynasty.
As for Shan Yuting, of course he can sell it without blinking an eye.
But, this is just the beginning.
Liu Che opened the second plate, revealing a carefully packaged jade box inside. The box contained a golden mud-like substance that exuded an alluring fragrance.
"This is Wangyou Powder..." Liu Che blinked his eyes and said, "It can cure all diseases, resolve all disasters, and eliminate all worries. God gave me this magical medicine. I am the only one in the world who has it. I have specially distributed a few
Jin, given to the envoy as a token of comfort..."
Qiqu Qediaonan looked at these mysterious plasters and touched his head, which was somewhat difficult to understand.
But this stuff does smell pretty good...
Moreover, the appearance is also shining with gold, yellow and orange, and has a gold-like color.
Is it really a miracle medicine?
Qiequ Qiediao is difficult to believe.
Liu Che ignored him and continued to move to the next plate.
Just in his heart, Liu Che shook his head.
After all, human beings are so terrifying and scary.
Many times, I know clearly that I am about to open Pandora's box and release the devil.
But humans can't help but open it involuntarily.
Either for profit, or for temporary pleasure, or for some ulterior secrets.
But in short, Liu Che understood that he had released a devil.
In the endless years to come, this devil will poison the entire world.
Maybe even his descendants.
All human beings on earth will not be spared.
No one dares to say that he is an exception.
Just like the Omi ghosts and beasts, they brought the devil into the world and let it poison the world, and also poison and harm them and their descendants.
"But, so what?" Liu Che said in his heart: "Even if I don't release it, someone will release it in the future!"
Moreover, its role in medicine is irreplaceable.
Without it, future clinical medicine, especially surgery, would be out of the question.
It is impossible for everyone to be like Guan Gong and watch the doctor scratching his body with a knife while drinking.
The only thing Liu Che can do now is to strictly prohibit and forcefully prevent it from spreading in China while he is alive.
By controlling raw materials, the purpose of prohibiting illegal use is achieved.
But after he died, Liu Che felt that those who wanted to die would definitely be eager to try these devilish flavors.
Even if he were alive, there would be people who were not afraid of death and would dare to risk losing their heads to try.
"Let all this be judged by history..." Liu Che thought in his heart.
Then he opened the third plate and revealed its contents.
It was a magnificent and exquisite jade horse.
It was provided to Liu Che by the Nanyue Kingdom. It is said that the Nanyue people spent three years just to carve it.
Now, Liu Che gave it to Qie Qu and Qie Nan.
Of course it is in exchange for greater benefits.
Liu Che knew very well how to bribe and win over an enemy noble.
The best option is of course brainwashing.
Just like what the Zhuxia people have done for a long time, they brainwash their enemies and their descendants into Zhuxia people, or at least into Zhuxia people who bring their own dry food.
The Han Dynasty is doing very well in North Korea and Huaihua.
Korea, Zhenfan, and Yiren have all gradually become sinicized, abandoning their original beliefs, institutions, and systems and embracing the Xia.
However, this move may not be effective against the Huns, especially the Huns in Shan Yuting.
There is no other way but to use gold bullets.
Use money and benefits to hit the opponent until he falls down.
As soon as Qiqu Qiediaoban saw this jade horse, he was immediately attracted and fascinated by it.
"What a treasure..." Qiqu Qediaonan licked his lips greedily and sighed: "I'm afraid even Shanyu doesn't have such a treasure!"
The Huns also have aesthetic values and artistic needs.
The pursuit of art and the appreciation of beauty have existed since mankind was still in primitive society.
The murals in the caves of the ancestors and the still unknown stone pendants scattered on the earth fully prove this point.
No one doesn't like those shiny and beautiful things.
Moreover, this kind of thing can be worth a lot of money anywhere!
"Your Majesty, how can you be so embarrassed..." Qiqu Qediao said coyly, but the look on his entire face had deeply betrayed him.
"Just accept the envoy..." Liu Che said with a smile: "There is a saying in my country: no reward for no merit. I send things to the envoy not only out of the envoy's goodwill response, but also in the hope that the envoy can help me.
Issues……"
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions..." Qiqu Qediaonan said as he couldn't wait to put the jade horse into his arms.
This thing is worth at least a thousand horses!
Liu Che smiled slightly and said: "Envoy, please sit down and talk with me in detail..."
The rebate has been given, are you still worried that the contract cannot be negotiated? (~^~)
