The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 303
"General Han, if you are willing to hand over all the Wuhuan people who have fled here, and then offer 30 catties of gold and silver, [-] cattle and sheep, and [-] silk every year, then my Xianbei leader is willing to fight with General Han." Make friends and be friends forever."

The Xianbei envoy was very impolite. After seeing Wei Tao who hurried to Jicheng, after a slight salute, the lion opened his mouth wide and asked Wei Tao a lot of things in one breath.

"We Xianbei people have always loved peace and hated war, but if we don't have enough confession, for my Xianbei people to survive, then we Xianbei are also willing to fight, and please understand the Han generals!"

This sentence is already a threat to Wei Tao.

If Wei Tao had the temperament to face such a provocation, even if he didn't behead him to sacrifice the flag, he would still have to beat him with sticks.

It is nonsense in Wei Tao's view that the two countries will fight each other without killing each other. If one of these enemies is killed, there will be one less. From the moment the two countries decide to go to war, it is impossible for the two countries to be peaceful, let alone such barbarians. Aliens?

"Snapped!"

But Wei Tao knew that Zhou Yu and Xun You had something to do, so he could barely hold back his anger at the moment, but even so, Wei Tao couldn't help but slapped the desk heavily and snorted coldly.

"Humph!"

And Wei Wei Tao didn't want to say anything at all, so he just left and left the messenger in place.

Seeing this, the envoy immediately became angry, but if he looked carefully, there was still a touch of disdain and contempt in his eyes.

"Hehe...the envoy, please don't blame me. Although my general is unwilling to fight Xianbei here, the envoy also knows that my general is not afraid to fight anyone."

As soon as Wei Tao left, Zhou Yu greeted him with a smile.

"Presumably the leader of Budugen also knows that the mainland of the Central Plains is not peaceful in my great Han Dynasty. My general is focusing on the struggle in the Central Plains and is unwilling to go to war with Xianbei, but it is impossible to let Xianbei ask for it, at least it is impossible. "

If Zhou Yu said that Wei Tao did not dare to fight Xianbei, then no matter how stupid the Xianbei people were, they would not believe it at all, but if he said this, the Xianbei envoy believed it.

In fact, Wei Tao fought against Wuhuan first and then attacked Xianbei in recent years. Even the powerful Xiongnu did not dare to look south. Recently, they directly attacked Xiliang.

Even though Xianbei has annexed Wuhuan now, it would not dare to say that it can compete with Wei Tao.

But Xianbei knows that the land of the Central Plains is now in chaos, and the princes of all walks of life are fighting for hegemony. Although there is a short-term peace, it is impossible to focus on the border, so this is the daring intention. Go south to challenge Wei Tao.

"I, the leader, came here with sincerity. What I ask for is nothing more than a drop in the bucket to the big man. Could it be that I can't give it? If there is peace, it should be even more beneficial to the big man!"

A drop in the bucket?
If the Han Dynasty was at its most powerful, these things would indeed be a drop in the bucket, but now that the world is in chaos, the number of these things is really not small.

But what I have to say is that the envoy speaks Chinese very well, and he also has some understanding of the big man, knowing that although he seems to ignore it, he actually wants to talk about it.

But he obviously didn't know, anyone could see their little thoughts.

Now that they saw it, Zhou Yu and Xun You naturally plotted according to their thoughts, and spoke in various words, as if they wanted to make peace with China, but of course there were also many hard words.

In the end, it is naturally impossible to say that there is any peace, but no matter which side did not say the words to death.

In fact, this is also normal. In the past, which one of the negotiations was not like this?

However, the emissary obviously knew something. Although he didn't achieve any purpose, he still couldn't help the smile in his heart when he left.

It's a pity that he didn't know, after he left, Wei Tao couldn't help but said with a slight smile.

"Gongjin and Gongda are good at scheming. If so, then the leader of Xianbei must have gone south quickly and wanted to catch me by surprise. At that time, he only needs to stand up and down, and he will be able to dampen his spirit. If that Bu Dugen personally Come here, I will definitely capture and kill it, and then everything will be broken."

Although Wei Tao did not personally participate, he knew what they said to each other. He understood how tempting what Zhou Yu and Xun You said were to the Xianbei envoy.

Enough to make him think he's got it.

In fact, the same is true. After the Xianbei envoy returned to Xianbei, he immediately told Bu Dugen everything. Hearing what the envoy said, Bu Dugen was overjoyed.

"Then Wei Tao was really deceived?"

"That's right, the Huahua River and Mountains in the Central Plains may be captured by him now. At this time, he must not dare to provoke us, and what he thinks must be peace with us. Now our army's attitude is exactly the same. So, how do they know, in fact, the purpose of our army is not to seek petty profits, but to seek Youzhou."

The Xianbei envoy was actually Budugen's adviser, and he laughed very proudly at this time.

"And it's not just that. If we can win Youzhou and Jizhou, and rely on our Xianbei strength, maybe we can compete for the Central Plains and secure the Huahua Dahan. When the time comes, what kind of Huns, what? How can the Qiang people compare with our Xianbei?"

It is not a matter of a day or two for various foreign enemies to covet the big man, but even if the big man has civil strife, his own strength is not weak, and no foreign enemy can shake him.

Of course, for these foreign enemies, even if their daydreams cannot be realized, the benefits of plundering are not bad, so whenever there is a chance, they must go south to invade the big man.

"Okay! If you can take Youzhou, you will be the first! Pass my order and immediately rectify the army. Three days later, you will go to Youzhou again to negotiate peace with Wei Tao. You can agree to any conditions at that time. But we must let that Wei Tao pass the card to send you out of Youzhou! I know that big men pay more attention to this kind of superficial skills, so Wei Tao will definitely not refuse, as long as you lead him outside, I will be a Xianbei cavalry Once you charge, even if you can't kill it directly, you can still charge into Youzhou."

It has to be said that Dugen still has the basic ability to become the leader of a clan at this step. In words, he is very confident.

"Youzhou is flat, and if you are caught off guard, it is impossible for all the Han people to escape into the city. At that time, we will be able to drive all the Han people to attack the city, and consume the strength of the Han army. Exhausted, isn't it just a prisoner of our army? Didn't Youzhou become my Xianbei grassland? Hahahaha..."

Budugen's ability is indeed not bad, at least in Xianbei, although dispatching troops and generals cannot be done silently, if you don't pay special attention, you will never find any difference from before.

The previous actions can be said to be to deter the big man. When the contract is fixed, these soldiers will disperse.

In addition, when the Xianbei envoy arrived this time, his posture was already relaxed a lot, so if he really didn't pay attention, he must be paralyzed.

Only a few days later, the Xianbei envoy came again. Compared with the arrogance of the last time, this time he was much more polite, and there was a sense of sincerity in his words.

If it weren't for the smugness in his eyes, no one would feel that there was anything wrong with it.

In fact, this is also the case. Even after Wei Tao heard the conditions of the Xianbei people, he felt that if this could really be the case, then it would be okay to pay some price not to fight against them for the time being.

"Oh? The Xianbei tribe just asks to do business with my big man, and as long as my big man offers cloth and silk every year?"

Wei Tao was taken aback for a moment, but he knew that the peace talk was nothing more than a false statement, so he quickly recovered.

"Recently, I heard that Xianbei soldiers have been transferred. Don't you just don't want to go south, or do you really want to live in peace with me?"

"Hehe... Wuhuan has already been annexed by my Xianbei. The large tracts of grain and grass are owned by my Xianbei. Naturally, there is no need to go south. However, after the opening of commerce and trade, the trade of salt and iron must not be banned. I, Xianbei, can buy it at the market price of a big man, but never. Probably stop."

The Xianbei envoy also knew that if there were no conditions, Wei Tao would not believe it, so he still put forward an extremely embarrassing condition.

The prohibition of salt and iron trade has always been a means for the Han Dynasty to restrain foreign enemies. If it is opened, Xianbei will soon become irresistible, so it can be said that this is a very important condition.

But just as the Xianbei envoy's purpose was not to negotiate, Wei Tao's purpose was also not to negotiate.

Now there is only one foreign enemy in the north, Xianbei, as long as it is suppressed, even within ten years, Wei Tao will no longer have the troubles in the north.

At that time, whether it is to prevent the chaos or relieve the troubles of the stomach and back, it will be of great benefit, which is why Wei Tao is willing to spend time and use such schemes.

After discussing like this for more than a day, an agreement was naturally reached in the end. It's a pity that such an agreement is probably not taken seriously by both parties.

According to the past practice, at this time it is natural to send each other a ride, and because the agreement is reached, the send is even more distant.

Wei Tao didn't refuse Xianbei's request, and just sent him off with a big switch card, but ordered people to line up on both sides, which looked quite magnificent.

This arrangement is not very good defense, it seems that Wei Tao has no defense at all.

But just when the Xianbei envoy was secretly happy, Wei Tao suddenly smiled.

"Friends come and drink wine, enemies come and hunt knives. This is a proverb on the grassland. I don't know if you have heard of it?"
