Chapter 352 Renegotiation

Chapter 352 Renegotiation

Dan Yu was furious, no one could have imagined that at his age, he could still hold such a strong anger, he stood up and raised his hands, as if begging the gods to come, and as if he was challenging all the people in the world. Enemies, roaring, cursing, rebuking... Words poured out like a flood.

The Huns in the tent were all silent, kneeling on the ground and daring not to move. King Youxian, who was tyrannical and tyrannical in front of the people of Chu, was lying on the ground obediently at this time, more honest than the hounds who received orders from their masters.

Han Ruzi was not afraid, because he didn't understand a word.

Feng Shili and others didn't understand either, but they had lost most of their courage since they were captured, and they couldn't be as calm as the emperor.

Han Ruzi was not afraid, but also because he knew that Da Chanyu's anger had nothing to do with anyone in this tent. It must be because the Chu army outside the frontier was progressing smoothly.

Da Chanyu's anger finally burned out, he stared at the emperor for a while, then sat down slowly, showing his exhaustion.

There was silence in the big tent, and the interpreter was not ordered to interpret a word.

Da Chanyu waved his hand, and the interpreter said in a trembling voice, "Emperor... please step back and rest."

The emperor was not abused, he had wine and meat, but he couldn't walk around at will, and he couldn't get a few words of news.

Han Ruzi was sitting on the bed, and soon after the afternoon, he started to feel a headache, which got worse a little bit, and in the evening, he could hardly think about it.

"Is a headache also a symptom?" he asked, remembering clearly that the last time he was poisoned was just a weak body and no headache.

There were only two people in the tent. Meng E came over, stretched out her hand and pressed it on the emperor's forehead for a while, then picked up his wrist and pressed the pulse for a while, "Your Majesty is too anxious."

Han Ruzi smiled slightly, he couldn't bluff at any moment, there were times when he couldn't hide it.

"Walking on thin ice, Meng E, I now know what walking on thin ice is."

Meng E hummed and returned to her original place.

Han Ruzi forced himself to think and fought the headache. After a while, he asked again, "How long will the poisoning last tonight?"

"About ten days or so, I use a relatively large amount of medicine."

"Hey, if in the end the Huns were soft and we died here, that would be... interesting." Han Ruzi had no intention of complaining. It was his idea at the beginning, and Meng E just implemented it. He really found it interesting and couldn't help it. laugh out loud.

Meng E's eyes were a little confused, "I don't understand..."

"Is the emperor important?"

"Of course, the emperor is the master of the world, and a country cannot live without a ruler for a day."

"Is it important to be the emperor?" Han Ruzi asked in a different way.

Meng E was stunned, finally understood what Han Ruzi meant, walked slowly to the emperor, and said in an unprecedented gentle voice: "No one is more suitable to be the emperor than Your Majesty."

Han Ruzi looked up at Meng E.

"The emperor is important, and the person who is the emperor is also very important. In the eyes of the ministers, it may be the same, but for Da Chu, for the army and the people in Jincheng... For me, who is the emperor makes a big difference. If it weren't for you, Jincheng would have been broken. We are either killed or become slaves, and the Great Chu will surrender. The Great Chu may be able to expel the Huns in the future, but before the expulsion? Countless people will die because of this."

"I couldn't drive away the Huns either."

Meng E showed a slight smile, "But Your Majesty is insisting. Because of this, the Chu army outside the Great Wall will march all the way east, and the imperial court in the capital will dare to prepare a new monarch. If Your Majesty gives up early, who will the Chu army fight for? How dare you be tough on the Huns?"

Han Ruzi was silent for a long time, "Thank you."

Meng E returned to her place again, a door in her heart was opened, and many words wanted to be rushed out, but she was forcibly blocked at the door. When she was hesitating, a guard outside came in and unintentionally helped her remove The door was closed again, "The Huns ask to see His Majesty."

The interpreter came in, put on a much more polite face, bowed his hands in salute, and said with a smile: "Da Shanyu said that he and the emperor met in Iron Broken City last year, and they were in love with their ancestors and grandchildren, no matter how many misunderstandings and conflicts occurred between them, this The feelings will not change. The strong enemy in the West is approaching step by step, and it is a threat to the Huns and the Great Chu that has to be guarded against. Everything the Huns have done so far has been for the purpose of forming an alliance.”

Han Ruzi stood up, his face was expressionless, and his head no longer hurt. He was like a sick lion. He usually swayed when he walked. When he saw his prey, he immediately became alive, hiding, approaching, and swooping. Just as flawless when healthy.

Tong Yi's smile was a little stiff. After waiting for a while, he continued, "Your Majesty can go back to Jincheng, and even—you can leave Jincheng."

"What about the conditions?" Han Ruzi became more and more calm. If he had agreed to the humiliating conditions proposed by Da Chanyu, he might have arrived in the capital by now.

"Don't be in a hurry, Da Chanyu. There are many envoys in Da Chu. After we negotiate, we will send the envoys to inform the emperor."

"Okay." Han Ruzi pretended to think for a while, and said to Meng E, "Prepare the horse and return to the city."

For a whole day and night, there was no news of the emperor at all. The army and the people in Jincheng had been waiting anxiously for a long time. When they saw a torch approaching from a distance, a team immediately went out of the city to check and found that the emperor had returned. They were overjoyed and turned around to escort them. Good news.

Above the ruins in the city gate, more people greeted the emperor than when he saw him off, and many wounded people also came, standing on both sides.

Han Ruzi slowed down and returned to half of the palace. He immediately summoned all the generals and listened to the briefing. The generals were well arranged without slack. He was very satisfied. , they have not much to say, kowtow, please, and congratulations to His Majesty for your safe return.

Cui Teng limped along with the King of the East Sea, and when the emperor was free, he smiled and said, "I thought I would never see Your Majesty again, and I was anxious about how to explain to my sister in the future, but His Majesty came back, hehe, that's great. "

Cui Teng couldn't speak, but no one complained about him at this time. Even the King of Donghai just smiled and shook his head and said nothing. Although the danger has not been lifted, everyone was immersed in joy when the emperor came back.

"The big one wants to negotiate." Han Ruzi said.

"What else are we talking about? Didn't we reject it long ago?" Cui Teng frowned slightly, not understanding why the Huns were talking all the time.

"Did Da Chanyu put forward new conditions?" The King of the East Sea knew very well that Da Chu might not need to negotiate to expel the Huns. He wanted to lift the siege of Jincheng and save the emperor's life, but there was only one way to negotiate.

"There will probably be people coming tomorrow. The military situation outside the Great Wall will definitely be very unfavorable to the Huns." Han Ruzi thought for a while, and said to Cai Xinghai, who had not left: "From tomorrow, closely monitor the movements of the Huns. report."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Han Ruzi said to the King of the East Sea again: "You negotiate a negotiation plan with the officials in the city. From now on, you will negotiate with the Huns instead of me."

The King of the East Sea was very surprised. Unless Da Shanyu came forward, the emperor should not participate in the negotiation in person, but the King of the East Sea did not expect such an important responsibility to himself. ."

Cui Teng was impatient, "What about me? What about me?"

"You... put Yiwei back in order."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the pomp that you should have will not be diminished at all." Cui Teng was triumphant, feeling that his responsibilities were more important than others.

Han Ruzi went to Beicheng, where many soldiers were too seriously injured to go to pick them up. Fan Zangshan was speechless and could only nod to the emperor. The head of the guards was barely able to sit up. After a while, go back to the palace to rest.

After midnight, Han Ruzi had already felt weak and powerless, but he still accepted the service of Zhang Youcai and other eunuchs normally.

When something touched his lips, Han Ruzi opened his mouth and swallowed it. After a while, he said, "Don't tell anyone about this."

"Well." Meng E's voice came from the corner.

"We have to figure out a way to cut off this poison."

"I've got some antidote ready to go, but it's not fundamental."

"It's in Yunmengze." Han Ruzi closed his eyes and fell asleep. That was a problem he had to solve sooner or later, but not now.

The next afternoon, Jovanf came.

There were several envoys of Da Chu, all of whom were much higher in official position than Qiao Wanfu, but Da Chanyu chose him to speak.

Da Chanyu lowered his requirements: the Xiongnu only wanted Liaodong, the rebels only wanted Qi, and other conditions remained unchanged. They passed through customs and gave each other several gifts every year. The gifts of the Huns were only symbolic, but the Da Chu had to pay real money A real lot of wealth.

There is also a relationship. Da Chu must hand over the concubine of the abducted Youxian Wang, and "compensate" a princess. As a continuation of the original peace talks, Da Chanyu will also marry several of his daughters and granddaughters to the emperor. , one of them wants to be the queen, at least tied with the queen.

There are many other conditions, and the Huns seem to really want to negotiate.

Donghai Wang understood the emperor's bottom line, and refuted and revised one by one. The original paper was densely written, and more teeny small letters were added.

The emperor will never give up an inch of territory. This is the bottom line. As for other conditions, the East Sea King objected, just for bargaining.

Qiao Wanfu wanted to bring Da Chu's reply to Da Shanyu, and was summoned by the emperor before leaving.

Qiao Wanfu was appreciated by Da Chanyu because he calculated in detail the annual cost of the Huns, how much the grassland could be solved, and how much he needed to get from Da Chu. You have to understand yourself.

He said to the emperor: "After all, the Huns are greedy for profit, and giving gifts to each other is actually the bottom line of Da Shanyu, and other things have to be discussed."

"Can Da Chu afford it?"

Qiao Wanfu is not an official of the Ministry of Housing, but he has been an official in Aocang for a long time and can roughly calculate the output of the entire Great Chu, "The current amount is too large, reducing it by 30% to 50%, the Great Chu can afford it, but It will take a few years of good weather and good weather.”

"Look for more news over there, I need to figure out what happened outside, and make Da Chanyu suddenly give up the siege."

The words "Deng Cui Dongzheng" are too simple, and Han Ruzi urgently needs more detailed information to decide how much he can compromise in this negotiation.

"Mr. Qu understands a little Xiongnu, and has been listening to news secretly. We should be able to bring details tomorrow."

Han Ruzi sent someone to send Qiao Wanfu away.

The battle between the soldiers is over for the time being, and another battle has just begun.
