Chapter 452 You Choose
The court of the Right Wise King of the Xiongnu.

The Right Wise King Xianbi looked coldly at the Han envoy whose eyebrows and eyes had slightly Western features. The anger that had been suppressed in his heart for half a year was almost bursting out of his pupils.

It was not just Xianbi; most of the subjects in the right wing of the Xiongnu were like this.

So frustrating!

The past six months have been so frustrating!

It has been over a hundred years, and it has always been the Huns who have invaded others. Except for the sudden emergence of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing a few years ago, no one has ever dared to invade the Huns!
It's okay to invade, but you burned the tent, kidnapped people, robbed horses, and drove away sheep. Now that you have taken enough, you just leave?
Who would have thought that this time the Han prince would not play by the rules at all. He did not want prisoners, nor did he rob sheep and horses. He actually killed them all. He even killed the Saker Falcons that the Xiongnu herdsmen had managed to survive, and he would not let them go until he broke their necks.

Saker Falcon!

That's a Saker Falcon. Do you know how much effort and hard work it takes to catch one and tame it? Even though one is not priceless, it can be easily exchanged for a thousand sheep in the Huns!

In short, any tribe that several hundred Han cavalry could charge into would have few survivors left. If they could not be eaten or taken away, they would all be killed, leaving people, horses, and sheep to rot on the grassland, leaving no chance for survival.

Speaking of which, we Huns used to go south and plunder the Han Dynasty many times.

Although many people were killed, a lot of food was stolen, many warehouses were burned, and many fields were destroyed, it was not so excessive that it would harm others and not benefit oneself, right?
Yellow-skinned army!

They are the Yellow-skinned Army, more like the Huns than us!

"Meet the Right Sage King."

Facing Xianbi's cold gaze, Wei Lu felt a little unsure and quickly bowed and performed a great salute to show his friendliness.

In fact, on the way to the royal court by the right vanguard, he had already fully felt the hateful gazes of the Huns.

But it's not that he can't understand.

Liu Ju's tactics were really unreasonable. Although it had inflicted heavy casualties on the right wing of the Xiongnu, it also brought them unbearable losses.

After all, for the Huns, sheep are like farmland to the Han people.

Their food, drink, defecation and urination all depend on the sheep. Without the sheep, they will have no hope for life. Not to mention that the next year will be difficult, this winter will be extremely difficult.

So, he really didn't understand what was going on in Liu Ju's brain.

How could he come up with such a damaging tactic when he was so young and had never fought against the Huns, directly hitting the Huns' weak spots and causing the Han and Huns to switch sides in an instant?

If he were a Hun, he would certainly hate Liu Ju with a vengeance and would want to sleep on his skin and eat his flesh.

However, he could understand that the Huns hated the Han people and, by the way, hated him as a secret envoy of the Han Dynasty.

Didn’t the Right Wise King Xianbi already send a secret envoy to surrender to Han?
Why is his look so unfriendly? Shouldn't he be more enthusiastic towards me so that I can say a few good words for him to the emperor and the princes when I return?
If you miss this opportunity, you will miss this shop.

Once I have accomplished the merit of persuading the right wing of the Xiongnu to surrender, I will certainly be granted a title of nobility. If you don't seize the opportunity to please me now, don't blame me for being too arrogant in the future.

Oh, yes, yes!

Xianbi must be putting on a show. After all, there are still many Huns in the tent. As the Right Wise King, he must show some solidarity, otherwise he will easily lose the support of the people.

It must be so!

Just as Wei Lu was thinking this.

"Humph!"

Xianbi snorted coldly, still staring at him angrily and asked in a deep voice,
"The Han Dynasty has been harassing the Xiongnu in recent days, but suddenly sent a secret envoy like you. What exactly is the purpose?"

Pack!
Then install it!
Wei Lu thought he had already made up his mind, but he didn't expose it in public. He just smiled and said,
"I came here secretly because I have an important mission. However, there are so many people here that I am afraid I cannot say more. Could you please ask the Right Wise King to dismiss the others first?"

"No need, there is no outsider here, just say whatever you want to say!" Xianbi naturally didn't buy it and said in a stiff tone.

It seems that the high-ranking officials of the Xiongnu right wing have reached a consensus on this matter, which makes it easier to handle...

Wei Lu felt more at ease and continued:

"Then I'll be frank. The Han Dynasty has already made a plan to destroy the Xiongnu. General Wei Qing has also come to the Western Regions in person. The first target will be the troops of the Right Wise King."

"There is a famous saying in the Han Dynasty: He who knows the current situation is a hero."

"Now, destroying the Xiongnu is an inevitable trend, and the right wing of the Xiongnu will bear the brunt of the attack. It is no exaggeration to say that the situation is very critical."

"Therefore, the Right Wise King has nothing to hesitate about. His only option is to submit to the Han Dynasty. If the Right Wise King has made up his mind, he should act decisively."

"This way, not only can I preserve my tribe, but I can also be rewarded by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Not only will my status and power not be affected, but I may also have the opportunity to lead my tribe to settle in this fertile land with three mountains and one river. The only difference is that I was the king of the Xiongnu before, but will become the king of the Han Dynasty in the future, and I will have a different object of loyalty."

"How about this? If the Right Wise King has no other intentions, just give me a straightforward answer and agree on a time and place for the whole clan to surrender, and I can go back and report..."

The words are not finished yet.

"You are so presumptuous!!!"

Several officials and warriors beside the Right Wise King had already drawn their swords, their eyes filled with endless rage, and they shouted loudly.

The blue veins on the temples of Right Wise King Xianbi were also throbbing wildly.

He rarely met the Han envoys.

After all, if Liu Che sent an envoy, he would have talked directly with the Chanyu, and there was no need to get involved with him as a minister, unless he intended to lead his people to rebel against the Xiongnu Chanyu.

However, he had heard that some Han envoys had very hard bones.

He couldn't lower his head, couldn't bend his waist, and even with a knife on his neck, he didn't know how to write the word "afraid".

"hehe."

While he was furious, Xianbi suddenly laughed.

"Seeing is believing. No wonder the Chanyu always likes to recruit Han envoys. This is like pulling a decent woman into the water or persuading a fallen woman to come ashore. If it works, you will definitely feel a great sense of accomplishment. Do you agree or not?"

"Tell me, what's your name?"

Wei Lu straightened his chest and said seriously:

"Wei Lu."

"Very good, Wei Lu!"

Xianbi nodded, looked at him jokingly and said,

"Since you are so courageous, I will give you two options now."

"The first way is that you surrender to me and tell me the plan of the Han Dynasty to destroy the Xiongnu. I will report this to the Chanyu, who will reward you and make you a king."

"The second way is that you refuse me, but I don't have the bad taste like the Chanyu, and I don't have the time to play tricks with you to seduce decent women. I will immediately order someone to chop off your head and throw it under the city of Gushi at night, so that the Han people can see my loyalty to the Chanyu!"

"You choose."
