The messenger of the Qin army soon arrived in the tent, Li opened the other party to send up a letter of invitation to surrender, and only glanced at it, then smiled and said in fluent Da Qin language.
“Although this Shan Yu is young, he is not the one who will bend his knees and worship with a piece of paper.”
“If Great Qin wants me to surrender, it must more or less show some sincerity.”
Of course he wouldn’t surrender, but since the Qin emissary had arrived here, it also meant that the Qin army was not far away.
He could totally use delaying tactics to buy time for his tribe, and even if he still had to fight in the end, he could still reduce his losses.
Upon hearing this, the Qin Army emissary, however, froze slightly, as the other party’s reaction was somewhat different from what his own master had explained to him.
In that case the letter given privately by his own master was something that could not be handed over.
Because his master had explained that he would only be able to hand over another letter if the other party was resolute in not surrendering.
So frowning slightly, he asked.
“I don’t know what Shan Yu is asking for?”
Rei quickly said.
“Nowadays, the tribe lacks clothing, salt, bronze and iron weapons, and so on, and I hope that the Qin army will provide more support.”
“The Qin army should also immediately retreat to a hundred miles away, so as not to have an impact on my tribe’s grazing.”
“And…”
Rei made many demands in one breath.
He had learnt this technique from his uncle, every time his uncle wanted to do something, he would always ask for a lot of money first, and then slowly lower his demands to appear to have made great concessions, which he used to achieve his true purpose.
Qin army messenger at this time listening to listen to the face of a trace of oddity, he has heard out the other side is not sincere surrender, so then, the master’s task can be completed.
So he opened his mouth and said.
“These requirements this messenger will convey to my general, in addition my master has a letter for you.”
With that, the Great Qin emissary took out a sealed paper from his bosom and sent it over to Ri in confusion.
He then saluted and turned to leave.
After reading the document in his hand, Li’s expression became strange, and he couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
After reading the document in his hand, Li’s expression became strange, and he could not help but say to himself.
“There are actually traitors in the Qin army.”
How could he not have thought that the information on it was someone in the Qin army who was willing to tell him about the arrangement of the Qin army in the various city-states in the west.
He was also willing to help him with supplies once he got to the west.
The condition was to provide the other party with manpower warriors.
Just as Li was thinking about what to do about it, King Zuo Xian hurriedly ran in from outside and said.
“Shan Yu how come the Qin army is here?”
Although they were now outnumbered, the entire tribe was still relatively weak, and if they really fought, their losses would be great.
Rei said indifferently.
“The Qin army has come to persuade them to surrender, and this Shan Yu is negotiating terms with them.”
Li spoke a little about what had just happened, but did not mention the paperwork he was holding.
After hearing this, King Zuo Xian directly froze and
“Shan Yu you want to surrender?”
Of course he does not believe that the other party will surrender, really want to have this mind, directly and the second prince, the third prince is the same to stay in the royal court is.
Rei revealed a smile at this time and said.
“Of course this Shan Yu will not surrender, but the longer we negotiate with the Qin army, the better.”
King Zuo Xian’s eyes lit up returning to.
“Shan Yu, you are trying to delay them.”
Rei nodded and said.
“Tell the others not to be too nervous, this Shan Yu will delay them, and the Qin army is not very numerous, we will definitely be able to enter the west.”
He had to give the others confidence now.
King Zuo Xian naturally understood and looked at the other party with a little admiration and said.
“Shan Yu your wisdom is higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea.”
In the face of the flattery of the Left-Hyun King, Li but just bashfully waved his hand to let the other party go to work, the flattery he heard around Uncle Xu can be described as fancy and endless, not these people can be compared.
In the face of the flattery of the Left Virtuous King, Li, however, just bashfully waved his hand for the other party to go to work, he heard the flattery around Uncle Xu, which can be described as fancy and endless, not these people can be compared.
When the left virtuous king left, Li once again took the paperwork out, he certainly will not surrender, but this matter is there can be exploited.
His purpose now was clear, to take his people and leave.
Then it was only necessary to get rid of the Qin army’s pursuit, and as Uncle had said, there were many ways to achieve one’s goal.
For example, when dealing with these Qin troops, it wasn’t necessary to defeat the other party, it was only necessary to make the other party not have the time to pester themselves.
Thinking of this, Li took out a piece of cloth and silk and wrote a short letter, then called the attendant and said.
“Send this letter back to the royal court and have the second prince bring it back to Great Qin.”
Although they were out, they were still in contact with the Hun royal court.
This letter of his was written to his uncle, and its content was also very simple, telling the other party that there were now traitors among the Qin army.
As long as an order came from his uncle’s side within the next month or two for the Qin army to catch the traitors, it would be enough to give him time.
He could even pretend to befriend this traitor of the Qin army and slowly find out the real identity of the other party.
When the time was right, handing the other party over to calm his uncle’s anger would also be an extremely good deal.
After spending so much time in Great Qin, he knew how powerful Great Qin was and had never wanted to be an enemy of Great Qin from the very beginning.
Taking the person away was also to maintain the clan’s position amongst Great Qin.
Soon the messenger left the camp and headed in the direction of the Hun royal court.
And at this time, the Great Qin messenger also returned to the middle of his camp and told a few people about the conditions proposed by Li.
“Hmph, this kid has no will to surrender at all! Just stalling for time!”
Zhou Bo spoke directly at this time, he certainly saw through the other party’s purpose.
Lu even said that
“Then what are we waiting for, I’ll directly lead the people to start clearing out their outlying tribes, not giving them time to breathe.”
Zhang Liang at this time, however, glanced at the messenger and saw the other party nodding slightly, his heart was instantly delighted, then he said that
“The two generals,, this is actually just a negotiation manoeuvre.”
“He can make demands, and we can naturally bargain.”
“If we attack directly, by the time it gets back to the courtroom, the nobles and powerful ministers won’t be able to avoid attacking us and disregarding the lives of our soldiers.”
“If we attack directly, when the word gets back to the courtroom, the nobles and powerful officials will inevitably attack us, disregarding the lives of the soldiers.”
“And you two should know that the pension for a Great Qin elite cavalryman today is extremely high.”
Hearing this the two men fell silent.
Lu frowned and said.
“We are soldiers, yet why do we think about these things.”
Zhou Bo, however, didn’t retort, he wasn’t just talented in military matters, he also looked at the long term in political matters.
Now that Great Qin had settled down, the focus after that would be on developing Great Qin internally, and the military would definitely be weakened.
Moreover, with his own Crown Prince’s nature of loving the military and the people, he would not like big casualties.
So if they could really make the other side surrender, it would be the best choice.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Liang quickly said.
“Both generals, just leave these matters to me.”
“And I’m not saying to give up the attack completely, even if it’s a negotiation, we still need to put some pressure on them.”
Hearing this, although Lu was unconvinced, he eventually said.
“As you say.”
Then he left in a huff.
Zhou Bo also nodded and said.
“Then I’ll trouble Brother Liang.”
Zhang Liang suppressed his inner joy at this time and returned, the
“It’s my part to do, I don’t dare to claim credit.”
He knew that his current plan, was already half successful, as long as he successfully reached an agreement with the other party, then he would have his own kingdom!
That would be his capital to avenge his parents and brothers!
At this moment, looking at Zhang Liang who was deep in thought, Zhou Bo could not help but sigh in his heart, the other party is really dedicated, he just happens to send the letter of recommending the other party to His Highness the Crown Prince along with the military report.
