The big man is on the run

Chapter 97
"What do you want to do?"

The grumpy Southern Huns reached out and touched the scimitar, bow and arrow.

The general looked at the other party coldly, and with a wave of his hand, a small team rushed over and surrounded the Southern Huns.

"Take them down!" said the general coldly.

"Here!" Those Habayashi soldiers pulled out their ring swords one after another.

The sound of the vibration of the nail leaf and the unsheathing of the long knife can be heard endlessly.

"What are you doing? Let us in quickly, otherwise... your emperor will definitely not spare you." The Southern Huns still refused to accept it, and they were still stubborn.

It's not that the Southern Huns have no brains, but from the very beginning, they put themselves in the perspective of benefactors, thinking that the Han Dynasty is in danger and needs their help urgently.

And this kind of help is at the cost of a large amount of gold and silver cloth.

This made the Southern Huns lose their way for a while, and they didn't even understand whether they should contribute.

Of course, these people who grew up on the grasslands of Hetao, sometimes their brains are really not easy to use
They are too superstitious about their abilities.

Therefore, some people felt that they were very restrained and did not draw their swords, but pushed and shoved the soldiers of the Han army with their bare hands.

The bearded general snorted coldly.

"Go up one."

As soon as the words fell, a small school rushed over immediately, and in just one round, he pushed the Southern Huns to the ground, with his knees firmly pressed against his back.

The Southern Huns suddenly felt the sand rubbing against the ground on his face, causing burning pain, and a stream of hot blood flowed down his cheeks.

"You, you dare to treat us like this, are you trying to rebel?"

Tai Shici quietly looked at the leader of the Southern Huns, who was shouting angrily.

"Hehe, rebellion? Our emperor didn't even say that we were going to rebel. Could it be that you Southern Huns think we're going to rebel?"

Seeing the long-bearded general sarcastically speaking in front of him, Pu Leihai gritted his teeth.

"You...huh, don't forget, now we Southern Huns are the guests of the emperor of Han, even if you are the emperor, you have to be courteous, how dare you treat us like this? Don't you want to live?!"

Seeing that the Southern Huns were still trying to scare him with the title of emperor, Tai Shici smiled.

"I am Tai Shici, the Zuozhonglang general under the command of the Emperor of Han, and I am patrolling the camp according to the order of the emperor. How can you people who come out without proof and evidence be the envoys of the Southern Huns? Who knows if you are working carefully?"

"If you want me to say, you guys dare to pretend to be the envoys of the Southern Huns. It's really audacious! Come on, arrest them all and put them in prison!"

"Here!"

Those soldiers of the Han army were about to rush up immediately and arrest the Southern Huns.

The leader of the Southern Huns raised the parchment in his hand and roared angrily: "I am indeed an envoy sent by King Zuo Xian. If you dare to arrest me, you will die! This is a letter written by King Zuo Xian! "

"Bring it here." Tai Shici said lightly.

The leader of the Southern Huns immediately handed the parchment to the soldier in front of Tai Shici.

Tai Shici took this piece of parchment from the soldier's hand, looked at it carefully, then raised his head to look at the Southern Huns, and asked coldly: "Is the content on this parchment true?"

"Of course it's true! Don't let us in!" The leader of the Southern Huns shouted loudly.

"Let me ask again, are you really the envoy of the Southern Huns?"

Tai Shici looked at Pu Leihai coldly.

Pu Leihai shivered involuntarily under Tai Shici's icy gaze.

"Of course. Of course it's true!" the Southern Huns stammered.

Tai Shici nodded.

"Since this is the case, then I will trust you for a while, but if you dare to lie to me, I will make you pay the price in blood!"

The Southern Huns breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Tai Shici said.

As long as I let myself in to meet the emperor, no matter what, I will definitely sue this person severely!How dare you be so rude to these honorable envoys of Zuo Xianwang!
"go in."

Tai Shici said coldly.

Only then did Pu Leihai heaved a sigh of relief, and then followed the soldier into the room, but found that none of his clansmen followed him.

He turned around, looked at those clansmen who were stunned in place, his face changed slightly, and then he shouted angrily: "What are you still doing stunned? Hurry up and follow!"

It's a pity that these Southern Huns just stood far away, and they were a little flustered. Could it be that the emperor of Han didn't want to see people like himself?
impossible?They are the envoys of King Zuo Xian of the Southern Huns!

Isn't it that the big man has something to ask them now?

However, the majesty of the Han army's armor still made these Southern Huns a little scared and panicked, and the terrible memory of "one Han as five Hus" echoed endlessly in their minds.

The more the Southern Huns thought about it, the more afraid they became, so they quickened their pace and followed the pace of Puleihai.

When these people left, Tai Shici snorted coldly.

"Stupid guy."

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the other side of the camp wall.

The task entrusted to him by the emperor is to give the arrogant Southern Huns a disarm, and strive for a better posture for the negotiations, thereby reducing the price the court needs to pay.

He has completed the task.The next thing, let the emperor deal with it.

In the big tent of the Son of Heaven, Pu Leihai, Tuhetun and the others saw a person they had never expected.

"Are you the Son of Heaven?"

Pu Leihai looked at Liu Yi who was sitting a dozen steps away in front of him in astonishment.

In his impression, isn't the emperor of the Han Dynasty the kind of arrogant, defiant monarch who only enjoys himself in the deep palace?
How could it be this person who is willing to wear leather armor and lead soldiers to patrol the camp?
"You are the envoy of King Zuo Xian?"

Liu Yi glanced at Pu Leihai indifferently.

His identities are different, he has no intention of becoming friends with Pu Leihai, and as for the matter he confessed to Tai Shici, the fundamental purpose is not out of any personal emotion.

It's just the prestige of killing the Huns, you can be more active in negotiations, that's all.

"Yes! Southern Xiongnu Zuoxian King is envoy Pu Leihai to meet His Majesty the Son of Heaven."

When Pu Leihai heard this, he immediately bowed in salute.

"Yeah." Liu Yi nodded, and said calmly, "Since Emperor Guangwu, the Southern Huns have been the inner vassal of the Great Han. They have defended the Great Han against the Northern Huns for many years. I have not forgotten your past contributions."

"So, after you come, I am going to treat you well."

"Your Majesty loves me so much that I fear you."

Pu Leihai shook his head quickly.

"You don't need to panic, I have no malice towards you, I just want to ask you, you have been nomadic in the West River for so many years, have you ever had enough to eat?"

After hearing Liu Yi's words, Pu Leihai was stunned.

What does this mean?
Does this big fellow emperor have other plans?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"Literally." Liu Yi said lightly: "I want you Southern Huns to join the army of the Han Dynasty and serve the Han Dynasty. I wonder if you are willing or not?"

After hearing Liu Yi's words, all the Southern Huns present were stunned.

What? !The emperor of the Han Dynasty actually wanted to directly incorporate them into the Han army and serve the Han court.

If it was placed decades ago, or even more than ten years ago, this is simply a good thing that cannot be asked for.

It is an honor to be the dog of a big man, let alone enter the army of a big man.

But now it’s true.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the envoy for being rude."

At this moment, Tu Hetun suddenly spoke.

Hearing what Tu Hetun said, everyone looked at him in unison.

They all understood what Tuhetun wanted to do.

"Your Majesty, this is the deputy envoy Tu Hetun, please forgive his rudeness."

Pu Leihai took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and looked at Tuhetun, and said word by word, Pu Leihai guessed what Tuhetun was going to say.

Although Tuhetun and him were always at odds, it was perfectly appropriate for this deputy envoy to play the role of black face.

"The Shanyu of the Southern Xiongnu is the king of the inner vassal of His Majesty the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and is at the same level as the princes and kings. Although the position of the Shanyu of our Southern Xiongnu is temporarily vacant, the army of the Zuoxian King is also the army of the Han Dynasty. This principle will not change. of."

Tuhetun said calmly: "But we came here this time to help fight against the rebels at your invitation. Even according to the usual practice, the big man will reward millions of copper coins. King Zuo Xian's request is ours." Bottom line, this cannot be changed."

At this time Pu Leihai took the words: "And we didn't come here for any rewards, but to protect you and the Han court."

"If you sincerely recruit us, we will try our best to do things for the big man. Presumably the generous emperor of the big man will not be stingy with money. At least, first reward 1000 million money, right?"

"Is this what you King Zuoxian mean?" Liu Yi asked looking at the Southern Huns present.

The Southern Huns who were present were all silent when they heard the words.

In fact, Zuo Xianwang didn't have such a big appetite for going to the base, and he didn't write any specific requirements on the parchment.

This was discussed by the powerful tribal leaders below, and they planned to take advantage of the crisis of the Han court to blackmail them severely.

Liu Yi probably saw the clues, he was asking all over the sky to pay back the money, if the emperor who really didn't know the world was sitting in this position, he might have been bluffed by these Southern Huns, and he made the promise casually.

Don't say that he doesn't have so much money now, most likely he can only give a part of it, and the follow-up part has to be shared with the people in Guanzhong. Agreeing to other people's demands, at the expense of one's own interests.

Just when he was about to say something, suddenly Huangfu Li broke in with extreme disregard for etiquette and system, and whispered something to Liu Yi.

Hearing Huangfu Li's words, Liu Yi supported his arm to get up, but his figure shook slightly. It was obvious that even Liu Yi, who had always been calm, was extremely horrified at this moment.

"I already know what you mean, and I cherish King Zuoxian's timely help. The rest of the matter, I will have the responsible ministers to discuss with you, and I will not accompany you. Everyone, take a short rest in my big tent. "Liu Yi waved his hand and said with all his might.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

All the Southern Huns present bowed in response after hearing the words.
