Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 473
"Why use a tough policy against Xianbei?"

When Fusu knew about Zhao Kun's negotiation process, he looked at him very puzzled.

In Fusu's mind, since the main target of this negotiation is the Xianbei people, he should find a way to persuade the other party to face the threat of the remnants of the Huns, even if they pay a little more.

However, Zhao Kun's approach was the opposite, not only did not benefit the other party, but also gave the other party a blow.

This made Fusu very confused.

So after reading Zhao Kun's memorial, I immediately found the mansion and asked why.

It's a pity that Zhao Kun was a little absent-minded, lying on the rocking chair in the courtyard, looking at the wild ginseng sent by the Xianbei people, muttering.

"Did you say that eating this food can rejuvenate you?"

"what?"

"Look at this thing, it must be quite a few years, right?"

"Kundi, did you listen to me?"

"I'm listening!" Zhao Kun replied casually, and then muttered: "I think this wild ginseng should be hundreds of years old, maybe it's almost mature, give it to Tong Wuhou, and ask him to find two The old hen is stewed for several hours, and it is guaranteed to scream."

"Aww?"

"It's because of the special strength that I can't sleep at night, Yong'e."

Fusu: "..."

Zhao Kun: "..."

The two looked at each other without speaking.

After a while, Fusu raised his hands to his forehead, and said helplessly, "I'll tell you something serious!"

"Say what?"

"..."

Fusu: "Say Xianbei people!"

"Oh, Xianbei people!" Zhao Kun suddenly said, "This wild ginseng was given by Xianbei people."

"You still say it!"

Fusu glared at Zhao Kun, snatched the wild ginseng from his hand, and frowned: "Other people gave you such a valuable gift, and you still give others a hard time, what do you think?"

"Brother, you don't understand."

Zhao Kun lay on his back, put his hands on the pillow and said, "This is a negotiation strategy!"

"What strategy?" Fusu put the wild ginseng back into the box, and looked at Zhao Kun suspiciously: "Didn't you say that before? The main target of the negotiation is Xianbei, why now turn to make friends with Wuhuan and alienate Xianbei?" ?”

"How do you know that I'm befriending Wuhuan?"

"Those popular clothes, were you sent as a gift?"

Fusu said strangely: "There are also cosmetics, hot pot and so on, you always agree, right?"

"These are all true, but they are not good friends!" Zhao Kun suddenly said.

"Why not? You won't change your mind, right?" Fu Su said seriously, "It's important for the country, you can't mess around!"

"I didn't say to change my mind! Whatever should be given away, nothing will be left behind." Zhao Kun said helplessly.

"Then tell my elder brother, what exactly did you plan! Let the elder brother feel a little bit more confident!"

"Isn't the eldest brother doing everything in his day? Why do you still care about these small tribes?"

Fusu shook his head: "Your analysis of the Xianbei issue to my father, my father sent me a letter. I also think that Xianbei is very similar to the Xiongnu, and even has greater potential than the Xiongnu."

"This is not a good thing for Daqin."

"Okay, I get it."

Zhao Kun pondered for a while, and said, "Brother, have you ever thought that Xianbei is so far away from us, even if we approve our distribution plan, there will be a day when we regret it?"

"Dare they go back on their word?"

"Why not?"

Zhao Kun said with some amusement: "The current Great Qin has begun to follow the route of elite soldiers. Most of the old soldiers in Liaodong will face disarmament. That is to say, the garrison on the grassland will withdraw to the mainland for a period of time."

"You mean, they might be obedient and obedient?"

"Since the father sent you a letter, you should know that Xianbei has great potential and is not weak. It may become a potential danger to Daqin."

"And when Daqin was unable to use force for a short period of time, it is understandable for them to have such ambitions."

"So negotiating is useless!"

Hearing this, Fusu fell silent.

But Zhao Kun continued to say: "Xianbei agrees with our distribution plan. It is not impossible to seize Wuhuan's territory after the Qin army retreats to the mainland."

"If so, what's the point of our previous negotiations?"

"You're right."

Fusu nodded approvingly and said, "For Xianbei, the destruction of the Xiongnu is an opportunity to expand their power. If they really annex Wuhuan's territory, it is impossible for us to send troops to conquer them for Wuhuan."

"So, we must be tough on Xianbei from the very beginning."

"That's why you got close to Wuhuan?"

"It's not getting close, it's paving the way for the future."

"Paving the way for the future?"

"Ah."

Zhao Kun nodded, and suddenly remembered something, sat up, looked around, then picked up another box, opened it and said: "I didn't study it carefully before, but now it looks like this meteorite is like coal, so ugly Several."

"Speaking of business, why are you throwing away those gifts again!" Fu Su snatched the box with displeasure on his face.

"No, brother, I'm inspecting the goods!"

Zhao Kun also grinned a little dissatisfied, then picked up a box again, raised his eyebrows and said, "This is the Meteorite sent to me by the envoy Wu Huan. It is said that it can be used to make magical weapons!"

Fu Su narrowed his eyes, staring straight at Zhao Kun.

Zhao Kun was so dark that the money did not leak out. This was a big loss, but he still laughed and said: "Who made us brothers? Here are two pieces. If the elder brother likes it, he can play with that piece!"

"Then thank you, Brother Kun?"

"We're all brothers, don't be shy!"

"Ah!"

Fusu snorted, then laughed again: "I've accepted the present, now it's time to get down to business!"

"Our canonization of Wuhuan and Xianbei is also an expedient measure when we destroy the Xiongnu. In fact, Wuhuan and Xianbei don't recognize Daqin that much."

Zhao Kun mused, "I'm close to Wuhuan because I want Wuhuan to become our vassal state. If that's the case, even if Xianbei has two hearts, he won't dare to act rashly."

"Belonging to the country?" Fusu frowned.

Zhao Kun glanced at Fusu, and said again: "My Great Qin has unified the Central Plains and wiped out the Xiongnu. The goal in the future is even more ambitious. We can't start wars blindly. Sometimes we have to convince people with virtue, so that we can have little brothers for us. Work hard!"

"If Wuhuan becomes our vassal state, that means accepting them as younger brothers, so that if someone bullies our younger brother, we can take care of him, and we can even form a coalition to take care of him together!"

"Is this what it means to be famous as a teacher?"

"Forget it! After all, we will be a superpower in the future!"

"superpower?"

"This is not important, what is important is strategy!"

Zhao Kun waved his hand and said, "If Wuhuan becomes our vassal state, we can control them and block Xianbei."

"I see!"

Fusu suddenly realized and nodded, and then a new question appeared, and asked Zhao Kun: "Then how can we make Wuhuan and other tribes regard Daqin as their suzerain?"

"This is indeed a difficult point."

Zhao Kun mused, "Wuhuan has been suppressed by the Xiongnu for a long time, and those tribes have also developed a fear of the suzerain, but how can the Xiongnu compare with Daqin?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"It means that we will not oppress our vassals."

Zhao Kun said with a smile: "The local products of the Central Plains are enough for us. The development we need is never the surrounding area, but overseas! So there is no need to enslave them."

"That's true." Fu Su nodded.

Zhao Kun continued: "So we have to disarm Wuhuan and other tribes, let them know that being a big brother's younger brother is very popular, and they naturally want to hang out with the big brother."

"Really? How do you feel about me, the elder brother's younger brother?" Fusu smiled.

Zhao Kun smacked his mouth and said, "It feels okay, if you don't bother me."

"cut!"

Fu Su gave Zhao Kun a blank look, and continued, "It means you have a way to make Wuhuan regard Qin as the suzerain?"

"Of course!"

Zhao Kun said confidently: "For now, the progress is pretty smooth."

"How did it go?"

"I found out that Ubal has become a "black traitor"!"

"A traitor?" Fu Su was taken aback, a little confused.

Zhao Kun chuckled: "It's someone who is close to me, Daqin, who now considers issues from Daqin's perspective, knows how to talk about Daqin, and even works for Daqin."

"Then how can you say that others are traitors?" Fu Su frowned, looking a little displeased, "It's clear that they are people with lofty ideals!"

"Whatever you say."

Zhao Kun shrugged his shoulders: "Anyway, those Wuhuan envoys who came to Xianyang like our Central Plains culture and our wealth very much. In addition, I attach great importance to them. It may be difficult for us not to recognize them as vassal states. .”

"Is it still possible?"

"Otherwise? In fact, they have changed a long time ago!"

"Hehe, according to what you mean, this time is determined to win?" Fusu smiled.

"Didn't I just say that? The road has been paved!"

Zhao Kun also smiled and said: "Those Wuhuan envoys have a good impression of Daqin, and I mentioned them intentionally or unintentionally, so they should understand what I mean. After thinking about going back and forth, they should be able to convince their king, other tribes."

"It would be great if that was the case."

"It's natural."

"However, this recognition is not enough to make Wuhuan our vassal state, right?" Fusu worried.

"A few envoys will not change the overall situation. They are just sparks. The real key is yet to come." Zhao Kun shook his head.

"Brother Kun still has a backup?"

"The so-called backhand is just the support of the opponent. You must show your closeness and let them understand that you are different from the Xianbei people, and this kind of closeness must be very different."

"Isn't that what you did before?" Fusu asked in bewilderment, "Using a gentle policy towards Wuhuan and a tough policy towards Xianbei?"

"That's just scratching the surface."

Zhao Kun winked and said: "The real killing move is yet to come!"

Hearing this, Fusu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had expectations.

And Zhao Kun didn't intend to continue talking, so he could only stop the topic resentfully and talk about the outing.

After dinner, he returned to the palace and continued to be busy with other government affairs.

.........

In the early morning of the next day, the newly built Sanlitun Racecourse.

Xianbei's envoys set off from Xianyang City and came here at full speed.

When they saw the herds of horses in the valley, they quickly realized that this was the place to raise horses.

For them who have been living in the northern grasslands and dealing with horses all day, this feeling is a bit like playing tricks.

His eyes were full of disdain and ridicule.

In their view, this small valley is nothing like a horse farm.

Even the private ranch of a commander in Xianbei is much larger than this so-called horse farm.

"I thought that the land of Qin State is vast and rich, and it is possible to gallop a horse, but I didn't expect that there is not even a decent horse farm?"

The Xianbei envoy Tuoba Lei said contemptuously: "No wonder the Central Plains people want to fight the Xiongnu, so they don't even have a place to raise horses!"

"Yes." A deputy envoy showed a proud expression: "Our Xianbei grassland, even if it is not as good as that of the Xiongnu, is still many times better than that of the Central Plains!"

"Soon, part of the Huns' grassland will also be ours."

"At that time, we will be stronger than the Huns!"

Hearing the words of the accompanying envoys, Tuoba Lei nodded in satisfaction, and then instructed: "In the territory of the Central Plains people, we must be careful in what we say, and don't let them see our ambitions;
Also, that Prince Qin is not easy to mess with. We have been in Xianyang for a while, and we need to finalize the negotiation as soon as possible! "

"Yeah, his attitude is very tough, we dare not reveal too much now, but why did he ask us to come here?"

"That day at the Lion Tower, he invited us to eat meat and watch a football game. He won't let us ride horses for fun today?"

Hearing this, the envoys were taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"Just this small place is not enough for my horse to warm up. Why don't we cultivate it to grow food!"

Tuoba Lei also laughed.

"Yes, yes, when we rode our horses and whipped our horses, the Central Plains people were still farming!"

Several Xianbei envoys laughed loudly.

Not long after, they arrived at the racecourse and saw that Fan Xiliang had been waiting outside the racecourse for a long time.

"You envoys have worked hard!"

Fan Xiliang first bowed to the Korean humble envoys, and then asked with a smile: "You guys have come from a long way, how neglectful you are, just now I saw you envoys talking and laughing, what kind of funny things have you encountered?"

Hearing this, all the Xianbei envoys looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.

Tuoba Lei suppressed his smile, and looked at Fan Xiliang solemnly: "His Royal Highness won't allow us to meet the Great Qin Emperor, what are we doing here?"

"We just want to negotiate land distribution, no time for entertainment!"

There was a sharp meaning in his tone, which seemed a little aggressive.

But Fan Xiliang didn't realize it, he just laughed and said: "It's almost there, but before the negotiation, His Royal Highness would like to ask the envoys to do a little favor."

"A little favor?"

Tuoba Lei frowned, puzzled.

Fan Xiliang cupped his hands: "Ashamed, ashamed, in fact, His Royal Highness got some good horses. I heard that grassland people know horses best. I would like to ask the envoys to look at horses."

As soon as these words came out, several Xianbei envoys showed stunned expressions, and at the same time they were full of enjoyment.

But Tuoba Lei was the first to speak: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is quite discerning!"

"Ha ha."

Fan Xiliang smiled and said nothing.

Another deputy said: "We do know how to watch horses. We naturally know more than you people from the Central Plains."

"That's great."

Fan Xiliang was overjoyed, and then looked at Tuoba Lei: "I wonder if your envoy can do this little favor for His Royal Highness?"

"It's okay to look at the horse, I also want to see the good horse selected by your highness the crown prince."

Tuoba Lei nodded with a smile, and suddenly changed the subject: "However, after watching the horse, can we enter the negotiation stage?"

"That's no problem." Fan Xiliang agreed wholeheartedly: "As long as your envoy does this little favor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will agree to negotiate even if he expresses his gratitude!"

"So good!"

Tuoba Lei nodded slightly, looked behind him, waved to Fan Xiliang and said, "Lead the way!"

"it is good."

Fan Xiliang responded and quickly led them to the racecourse.

　Thank you Tongliao Little John Khan for the 200 rewards.
