When the sun was rising, the soldiers defending the city did not wait for the barbarian assistants to attack, but they waited for two barbarian horses to arrive at the base of the city. This was obviously not for the purpose of attacking, so the soldiers at the top of the city did not shoot arrows lightly.

"This is Qu Lu, the envoy sent by Tushi Khan." The first person raised his neck and shouted loudly: "I want to see your emperor."

Dingwu and Xuanyuanshao were not at the top of the wall at this time, a general sneered at the people below: "Do you think the Holy One will see whoever wants to? If you don't back down, don't blame me for shooting you to death with an arrow."

"Don't regret it." Qu Lu shouted: "Tush Khan sent me to negotiate. If you miss this opportunity, even if you want to talk in the future, it will be impossible."

The general hesitated for a moment, the other party sent an envoy to negotiate, quite unexpected, he naturally couldn't make the decision to drive away an enemy envoy, after thinking for a while, he finally said: "You wait." Immediately sent someone Go to report.

Dingwu is now in the house not far from the city, and soon someone came back and whispered something in his ear, the general nodded, and shouted to the city: "You want to negotiate, the Holy Majesty is not free to come and see you, Do you have the guts to enter the city?"

Qu Lu was not afraid, and said loudly: "Open the city gate, I will go in now, grassland warriors, in fact, you can scare me."

The general sneered and said: "Open the city gate, you have a good idea. Just wait a moment." Looking up to the distance, the barbarian barracks are still far away. come over.

Qu Lv waited for a while, a little impatient, but at this moment, he lowered a basket from the edge of the battlements. The basket was not small, tied with a long rope, and lowered from the top of the city. He shouted at Qu Lu: "If you want to enter the city, go to the basket."

Qu Lv was a little annoyed, but he also knew that the other party would not be able to open the city gate, so he didn't hesitate, got off his horse, walked over, turned into the basket, pulled the rope, but it was strong, and soon the soldiers at the top of the city took him He pulled up the top of the city and came out of the baskets. Seeing that the soldiers were about to put away the baskets, Qu Lu hurriedly said, "There is one more person." People are still waiting.

"It's enough to have you alone." The general waved his hand and ordered: "Come here, take him to see the Holy One."

When Dingwu saw Qu Lu, the little emissary sent by the barbarians seemed to have eyes on the top of his head, his neck was raised, and when he walked, he strode like a star. Even when he saw the emperor Daqin, he just walked casually. A barbarian salute was given.

"You want to see me?" Ding Wu looked at Qu Lv lightly, "Now that I see you, what do you want to say?"

But Qu Lv glanced at the civil and military officials on both sides, and said with a smile, "I wonder if the emperor saw the fire?" He had a smug look on his face, but the civil and military officials on both sides all changed color suddenly, and there were two more The general was already drawing his saber, Qu Lv glanced at it without any fear, and said: "If I were afraid of your saber, I wouldn't come here. Your saber is only dared to show it at this time, we I have been waiting outside the city for so long, but I still don’t see you coming out of the city to show your swords.”

"Presumptuous...!" someone roared in a deep voice.

Ding Wu raised his hand, and everyone fell silent immediately, but stared at Qu Lv with cold eyes.

"Your name is Qu Lv?" Ding Wu said: "Could it be that Tu Shi sent you here to show off his strength in front of me?"

Qu Lu laughed, raised his hand and took off the leather felt hat on his head, "Emperor, I didn't say that the fire was showing off to you, but just telling you that our hatred has disappeared with the fire. You killed The patriarchs of our thirteen tribes, our prairie warriors have clear grievances and grievances, and if we have a grudge, we will naturally avenge it."

The ministers didn't understand what Qu Lv meant, they looked at each other, but Ding Wu didn't change his face, and said calmly: "The hatred will disappear with the fire, but I don't understand what you mean."

"The meaning of Tushi Khan and the generals of various ethnic groups is very clear. We have a [-] army on the grassland...!" Before Qu Lu finished speaking, someone beside him sneered: "A [-] army? I didn't expect you barbarians to blow it up Niu Lai doesn't even blush."

Qu Lv really didn't blush at all, and said loudly: "Naturally there are no [-] troops outside the city, but as long as Tu Shi Khan gives an order, it is easy to bring another [-] warriors from the grassland."

Of course he was exaggerating.

This time, all the tribes in the grassland came bravely, and almost gathered the most elite soldiers and horses on the grassland, and there were only a handful of soldiers and horses left in their own tribes.

After all, we have to guard against some tribes taking the opportunity to sneak attack on the grassland, so each tribe does have soldiers and horses among their own tribes, but even so, even if all the cavalry capable of fighting are brought in, 3 or [-] people can still be brought in. It's amazing, but if we move another [-] troops, it will be the lion's mouth.

However, most of the officials present were not familiar with the situation in the Mobei Grassland, and it was difficult to tell whether what Qu Lv said was true or not.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Qu Lv continued: "After our grassland army captured the Tiangong, we have already paid off your grievances, and there is no more hatred. Tushi Khan said that Qin is a big country in the Central Plains, and we don't want to fight with you." Enemy, the purpose of sending troops this time is to avenge the patriarchs of various clans, and now that the great revenge has been avenged, we don't want to continue to be enemies with you, but we are willing to continue to be friends with you."

"Friends?" Xuanyuan Shao said lightly, "How are you going to be friends with us?"

Qu Lu said with a smile: "Tush Khan knows that Qin is full of rebels, and you, Qin, can no longer wipe out those rebels by yourself, so if you want, we grassland warriors can continue to help you. As long as we help you , if you want to wipe out the traitors of Qin, it is as easy as flipping the palm of your hand."

Ding Wu remained calm, and said with a faint smile: "You soldiers came to the city and wanted to capture Wuping Prefecture, but now you have changed your mind? To help me suppress the thieves, naturally, he will not contribute in vain. What conditions does he have? "

"You Zhongyuan said very well that the emperor does not send out hungry soldiers. I should remember correctly." Qu Lv laughed and said, "Emperor, Tushi Khan has three conditions. As long as you agree, we can turn our enemies into friends. collaboration."

"What conditions?"

"First, the emperor will confer Tushi Khan the Great Khan of the Grassland, and issue an imperial decree," Qu Lv said.

Dingwu leaned on the chair, staring at Qu Lv, "The second condition?"

"Tush Khan is willing to marry Qin, and the emperor wants to marry your princess to Tushi Khan." Qu Lv said: "This will also be issued to the world to let everyone know that Qin and us Tushi Khan are married. relatives by marriage."

Ding Wu said with a smile: "Back then, the Xiliang people also wanted to marry me, Da Qin, but they didn't get what they wanted. Unexpectedly, you barbarians are repeating the same tricks today. The third condition proposed by Su Shi should be money and food. right?"

"The emperor is indeed a smart man." Qu Lv said: "Your Qin country is already in danger. If the rebels come to kill you, no matter how much gold and silver treasures you have, it will be of no use to you. In this case, it is better to reward those gold and silver treasures." For the grassland warriors, everyone has rewards and their morale is high, so they will naturally be invincible and help you wipe out the rebels. Of course, food is also indispensable."

Hearing this, Ding Wu suddenly burst out laughing, his laughter was weird, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Qu Lu frowned, and said loudly: "Emperor of Qin, do you agree to the conditions of Tu Shi Khan?"

"Come here!" Ding Wu's face turned cold, "Pull this person down and throw him down from the top of the city."

A samurai had already rushed in and grabbed Qu Lv.

Qu Lu changed his color, "Emperor of Qin, what do you mean? Even... even if you disagree, you can't kill me."

"Why can't I kill you?"

"You...you, the Central Plains, said that the two countries are fighting each other. Don't...do not kill me." Qu Lu said loudly: "And you... if you kill me, we will kill me." Water and fire are incompatible, and there is no room for negotiation. Tushi Khan has good intentions, you... do you really want to watch the city be destroyed?"

"It's true that the two countries are fighting each other, and they really don't come here." Ding Wu said slowly: "It's just that in my eyes, you barbarians are nothing more than a bunch of grassroots bandits. How can we talk about state affairs? Since you are not even a country, you can't even talk about it." What happened."

"You...!" Qu Lu blushed anxiously, he obviously did not expect that Ding Wu's face would turn so quickly.

Dingwu leaned forward slightly, staring at Qu Lv, "The barbarians are barbarians after all, and they want to imitate us in playing tricks, which can only be ridiculous. You are easy to calculate, thinking that I have reached the end of the mountain, and I am afraid to fight with you, Do you think that as long as I hear that you are negotiating peace, I will agree to anything?" Sighing, "Suddenly use a little trick, I think I am very smart, but it is a pity that children of my age in the Central Plains can use these tricks."

Qu Lu yelled: "Tu Shi...Tu Shi Khan is sincere and sincere, and he is not playing tricks."

"Whether it's true or not, I don't need to discuss peace with you." Ding Wu said with a smile: "Now the enemy is strong and we are weak. Even if we want to negotiate peace, we can only propose it first, but the strange thing is that you However, it is not for nothing that you are the first to propose a peace. You barbarians have the upper hand. According to common sense, it is hard to imagine that the party with the upper hand will initiate a peace agreement. If so, there must be something strange." The expression in the eyes began to change He became cold and stern, "It's just that I won't find out what is wrong with it, because I never thought of negotiating peace with you. As you said, I saw the fire. I am the king of a country, and I see my people. Being massacred by you, and watching you murder and set fire under my nose, do you think I can still make peace with you? You said just now that after a fire, the grievances between you and me are over, but I want to tell you, from then on Once a fire is ignited, our enmity cannot be solved at all. I killed you not because I hate you, but because I want to tell Tushi and the barbarians that after this war, there can only be one standing !"

Qu Lv opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, Ding Wu waved his hand, "Pull up to the top of the wall and throw it down for me!"
