Logically speaking, General Zheng should be the one giving the orders, but you can't avoid asking the prince to give you little shoes to wear! Just one is enough, but two of them make it even harder for Zheng Yuxing.
King Lu laughed loudly and patted Zheng Yuxing on the shoulder: "General, don't worry, am I still here?"
Zheng Yuxing smiled bitterly and clasped his fists: "Then we have to rely more on King Lu to mediate."
...
Qingfeng Gorge.
Not far to the north,
This is the camp of the Xiongnu royal court.
In a gorgeous marching tent, there was singing and dancing.
Huns dressed in Xiongnu costumes eat meat with large mouthfuls and drink wine from large bowls.
"Today is really fun!"
"Come, come, come and taste this refined salt from the Longyan Dynasty!"
A small dish of refined salt was placed in front of a group of people's tables, which made these people's eyes light up when they looked at it. Some people even dipped their fingers into the salt and tasted it with relish. If Liu Zheng was present, he might not be able to bear it.
Squirt out. This is almost the same as the actions of those drug addicts in later generations...
As everyone knows, there is no salt on the grassland. If the Huns want to eat salt, they must buy it from the Longyan Dynasty at a high price.
There are not a few conflicts that occur every year over the competition for salt.
So when they saw this kind of refined salt this time, how could the Huns endure it?
Why do all the good things belong to your Longyan Dynasty?
We don’t have it, so grab it!
"Good stuff!"
"Hahahaha, we must take down the Baiya Army this time!"
A strong man with a big beard laughed and said, extremely arrogant. This man was the little Chanyu of the Eastern Huns, named Rogel. He was brave and good at fighting, and was known as the first warrior on the grassland.
"Haha, Rogel, Baiya Prefecture is in the hinterland of Liang Prefecture. I think it is impossible to take possession of it. We should stick to the old rules and just plunder and go back! The weak Han people of the Longyan Dynasty will definitely negotiate with us.
Yes, hahahaha, when the time comes, just let them provide us with refined salt!"
However, the general of the Western Huns next to him, Ge Erdan, burst into laughter.
When Rogel heard this, he threw the wine bowl in his hand and became furious: "What are you talking about, you coward? It's just Baiya Prefecture. I want to take advantage of it. Who can stop me?"
Ge Erdan sneered and said: "Your reputation as the number one warrior in the grassland is not applicable to Longyan!"
"You... come and compete with us!"
Rogel stood up and was about to take action, but luckily he was held tightly by someone on his side, but despite this, he still kicked over a table full of wine and meat.
Ge Erdan smiled lightly and said disdainfully: "Are all the Eastern Huns like this? They are indeed a group of uncivilized beasts!"
"you......"
"What are you doing? Stop it!"
"Don't move!"
Since ancient times, the customs of the Eastern Xiongnu have continued the fierceness of the previous grassland peoples. However, the Western Xiongnu, because they prefer Han culture, have made their tribe more civilized. This is the conflict between the two Xiongnu tribes.
Where. The Eastern Huns despised the Western Huns because they had no bones and lost their toughness. The Western Huns mocked the Eastern Huns because they were still behaving like beasts and were a bunch of barbarians.
This time the two tribes united for the sake of refined salt.
But in fact, neither side looks down on the other.
"Okay, okay, let's calm down for a while. This time we are cooperating for the sake of refined salt. Don't forget, we beat the Longyan Dynasty to the point of begging for mercy several times, just because we started fighting ourselves, it has only been so long, and we still can't
Successfully occupy an inch of the Longyan Dynasty’s land!”
At this time, a white-faced scholar in the table said.
As soon as this man spoke, Rogel and Ge Erdan both snorted coldly, stopped making trouble, and sat down one after another.
This white-faced scholar has a great background. He was originally a Han, but he was exiled to the north, and then fled to the Huns alone. By his own advice to the Huns, he became a grassland military advisor admired by both the East and West Huns.
No. Cheng Mu,
This person is also a genius, and his several plans have caused heavy losses to the Longyan Dynasty.
The Longyan Dynasty even issued a reward: whoever can get Cheng Mu's head will be rewarded five thousand gold!
However, more than ten years have passed and no one can find a trace of this man.
"Hahahaha, no matter what, let's fight him through the Dragon and Tiger Pass tomorrow!"
"That's right, this way we will have leverage in negotiations!"
