Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 248 Karasuma Messenger

"My lord! The special envoy of Karasuma is here! I'm asking to see you outside!" The guards entered and reported to Yuan Shanghui.

Originally, Yuan Shang wanted to go to meet the Karasuma envoy in person, but then he thought about it, he is now a vassal at any rate, how could he condescend to greet the Karasuma envoy in person, such an act of demeaning.

"All envoys, please come in!" Yuan Shang returned to the main seat and sat upright, and said to the guard.

"No!" The guards bowed and bowed in response, turned and left, went outside and invited the three Shan Yu's envoys in.

The three envoys put their hands on their chests, and made a nomadic etiquette towards Yuan Shang, "The Karasuma envoys Apo, Tutu, and Fengjisha have met Lord Youzhou Mu, our Shanyu asked us to say hello to you on his behalf .”

"The three Chanyus are being polite, the special envoys please sit down quickly!" Yuan Shang stretched his finger to the side and made a gesture of invitation.

"Lord Xiezhou Shepherd grants you a seat!" The three envoys sat cross-legged on the mat beside them after saluting the etiquette of the nomads again.

As soon as he sat down, Shan Yu's emissary said, "Master State Shepherd! Here is a list made by Shan Yu. I hope Master Zhou Shepherd can agree to it."

After Special Envoy Karasuma finished speaking, he took out a sheepskin scroll from his arms and handed it to Yuan Shang. The guards around Yuan Shang immediately stepped forward to take the sheepskin scroll, returned to Yuan Shang and handed it to Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang took the sheepskin scroll and opened it, all of which were the requests of the three Chanyus including Tadun. It not only contained the requirements of cutting land, providing weapons, and responsible for food and grass, but also wrote all kinds of things on the whole sheepskin scroll, and they could What is given is the output of the army's combat power.

"Our Shanyu can not only help Master Zhou defeat the enemy, but also help Master regain your hometown Jizhou, and even help Master rule the world!"

"It is only necessary for Master State Shepherd to provide enough supplies. Our Karasuma soldiers are all brave and good at fighting, and we will definitely not disappoint Lord State Shepherd." Special Envoy Shan Yu said.

"The gold, silver, and ironware on it are not a problem. I can accept these, but before that, I must first see your sincerity." Yuan Shang is not stupid. These guys want to benefit as soon as they come. Substantial action.

"These state shepherds don't have to worry! My Karasuma warrior is waiting not far from here. As long as the state shepherd agrees, my Karasuma warrior will fight for you. At that time, even our Shanyu is willing Do it for your lord!" Shan Yu envoy said.

"Okay! I agree with all of these! Also ask the envoy to let your warriors go to battle and help me defeat the enemy first." Yuan Shang was satisfied, picked up a brush and signed his name on the parchment.

Unexpectedly, the emissary Karasuma did not intend to send troops to fight against Zhang Yan immediately, but took out another sheepskin scroll from his body, stood up and said to Yuan Shang: "Master Zhou Mu, before we send troops, we hope that Master Zhou Mu will agree. First cede a few counties to us, and have the right to recruit soldiers in Youzhou at will."

Tadun wanted to follow the example of Hun Shanyu Modun and Xianbei Tan Shihuai in establishing a royal court among the northern nomads and commanding the northern nomads.

Naturally, he would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and tried his best to bite a piece of meat off Yuan Shang.

When Li Song attacked Jizhou, a large number of refugees fled to Youzhou, which was still a pure land at that time, in order to escape the war. Coupled with the original population of Youzhou, the population of Youzhou increased greatly.

As long as Yuan Shang agrees to his request, Tadun can help Yuan Shang regain his old place, send troops to occupy more territories, and establish his own regime. As for how Yuan Shang will deal with it, it will depend on him at that time. mood.

Special Envoy Shan Yu got up and looked at Yuan Shang waiting for his decision. Yuan Shang flicked his sleeves and got up and said, "I want to see what place you want first, I wonder if it is possible!"

"It's natural, please take a look at the Master State Shepherd!" Karasuma envoy came to a table next to him, spread out the map on the table, and pointed to several counties except Zhuo County: "It is these few County, Shanyu hopes that the state shepherd can give up his love, so that we, Karasuma, can defend the border for the state shepherd, so that the north will be safe!"

Yuan Shang took a look and sneered in his heart!The abacus was well done, leaving me only one Zhuo County, this is to let me fight the enemy to death, you are so good at making money, the idea is really beautiful, it is simply wishful thinking!
"Forgive me for not being able to agree to these, but at most I will give you a county next to You Beiping." Yuan Shang pointed to Yuyang County Road next to You Beiping.

It doesn't matter if they don't agree, anyway, it's not just the Karasuma family that I united with, even Gongsun Kang of Liaodong County sent someone to contact him.

If they dare to refuse, I don't have to be soft-hearted. At worst, I will work with Gongsun Kang to eliminate them and merge their tribes into my own forces. Although the effect will be affected, it doesn't matter.

The three Karasuma envoys looked at each other, and they couldn't agree to Yuan Shang's proposal anyway. Before they came, Shan Yu told them that even if they couldn't all come over, at least two counties would be needed.

So between Karasuma Messenger and Yuan Shang, there was a scene of asking for prices and bargaining on the ground. After some fierce bargaining, the ownership of the two counties was finally determined.

"Okay! I will use Yuyang County and Shanggu County as a gift, and ask Karasuma Tadun Shanyu, Lou Ban Shanyu and Nengchen Shanyu to send troops to help me defeat the enemy and take back my hometown Jizhou."

"And, as long as you can help me win Bingzhou, you can also cede the four counties of Shuofang County, Wuyuan County, Yunzhong County and Yanmen County in Bingzhou to you Karasuma." Yuan Shang wrote another empty check.

Don't you want a place?Now I will generously give you four counties in one breath, but it is not in my hands, and those who are capable can fight for it by themselves.

"Master Zhou! Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, and Yanmen are all within the enemy's range, and they are not yours. How can you count them like this?" Karasuma envoy said.

"That's right! As long as you, Karasuma, can help me take Bingzhou, I will show up to the emperor and give you these four counties as a place to live for generations." Yuan Shang said, not afraid that you will not obey obediently.

"Lord State Shepherd, if this is the case, when the time comes, I, Karasuma, will take it. You don't need to ask me, these places will also belong to us." Karasuma's messenger said.

"Joke! These four counties belong to the territory of my Han Dynasty. If you dare to get involved at will, I can guarantee that you will soon be attacked by the princes of the world. At that time, you will get nothing. You cooperate with me. It is a win-win situation, no one will suffer, if you want to eat alone, you will only be punished by God." Yuan Shang said.

Yuan Shang snorted coldly in his heart, it won't be too late to deal with you barbarians after I defeat the enemy.
