The Emperor of Red Mansions: Many Children, Many Blessings, Opening Draft

"After all, no matter what, my Great Xiongnu can still easily defeat your Great Wu Jizhou Town."

Having said this, Zuo Xian Wang stopped pretending.

Instead, he showed his fangs to the envoy and began to threaten and frighten the envoy, hoping to get the benefits he wanted from the envoy.

After all, it is the Great Wu that is in trouble and needs help from the Xiongnu, and it is also the Great Wu that is controlled by others.

If it were not for the benefit, he would have been so idle that he would have pretended to be stupid and let the Great Wu envoy take the initiative to express his needs.

"Heh! It seems that the Zuo Xian Wang is still unaware of the strength of our Great Wu!

If we didn't have the confidence to not fear the Dong Hu army's southward advance, would our Great Wu have entered the heartland of the Dong Hu and slaughtered more than a hundred Dong Hu tribes after annihilating all 30,000 Dong Hu cavalry?"

"Of course, if the Zuo Xian Wang insisted on sending troops to our Great Wu together with the Dong Hu.

There is no need for me to continue the discussion here. I have to go back and report to the Emperor of the Great Wu, and prepare to station troops to wait for the Zuo Xian Wang to lead the army to the city."

Faced with the threat, the Great Wu envoy was not panicked at all.

The tone and demeanor were still calm and composed as he smiled and spoke to the Zuo Xian Wang.

The extremely confident look made the Zuo Xian Wang a little unsure. ,

"Why, your Great Wu still has an army that can completely wipe out the 30,000 cavalrymen of the Donghu?"

"This king admits that the 30,000 cavalrymen of the Great Wu are indeed very powerful, but that's all you can do!

Do you really think that these 30,000 troops can defeat the 150,000 troops of the Donghu?"

Zuo Xian Wang frowned and immediately asked the envoy of the Great Wu.

If it is said that the Great Wu still has a powerful army that can completely wipe out the 30,000 cavalrymen of the Donghu.

Then maybe it is really as the envoy of the Great Wu said, and the Great Wu really has the confidence and self-confidence to face the Donghu's massive attack after provoking the Donghu.

"If the Left Wise King can give my Great Wu 50,000 war horses, even if my Great Wu cannot completely annihilate the 150,000 Donghu troops, I can still hold them to death for two or three months, making it impossible for them to withdraw and return to the Donghu tribes."

The envoy did not reveal the Great Wu's trump card. After all, not to mention that the Great Wu has no trump card at all, even if it has one, it is a military secret.

It is not to tell potential enemies casually.

"Fifty thousand war horses, are you crazy, Great Wu!

You have to know that it is you, Great Wu, who are in danger now, not the Great Xiongnu!"

"Could it be that you, Great Wu, are so arrogant that you are facing the invasion of my Great Xiongnu and the Donghu army at the same time!"

"It seems that you, Great Wu, are not coming with sincerity?"

The words of the envoy made the generals present explode immediately.

You, Great Wu, are in such a state now. This time you came here not to seek an alliance with our Great Xiongnu, but to ask for 50,000 war horses from our Great Xiongnu.

Let's see what you can do!

You must be crazy.

But if you, Great Wu, can kill all the DonghuIf there were 50,000 troops, it would be possible to negotiate, but 50,000 war horses were absolutely impossible.

"30,000 war horses, kill the 150,000 Donghu troops for three months!"

Zuo Xian Wang, who felt that Da Wu really had hidden its strength, was somewhat tempted.

As long as Da Wu could contain the 150,000 Donghu troops for three months, he, the Great Xiongnu, could defeat the Donghu garrison troops during this period and then annex the entire Donghu.

"50,000 war horses, and after the war, Da Wu can send 100,000 arrows to Zuo Xian Wang's troops."

The envoy shook his head and bargained with Zuo Xian Wang.

He Da Wu lacked war horses, while the grassland tribes lacked ironware and weapons.

Among them, arrows with high manufacturing technology were also the most scarce and scarce necessities for the grassland tribes.

You know, the arrow head is easy to make, but the straight arrow body is extremely difficult to make.

So the emperor personally instructed and allowed the use of arrows to exchange war horses with the Huns.

Of course, as for what kind of arrows to use and who to send to the Huns, the emperor had already explained it.

The arrows given to the Huns at that time should be recycled after being used on the battlefield.

And the people who transported the arrows were all prisoners who had committed capital crimes.

So now it depends on whether the Huns are tempted or not and whether they agree.

When the envoy mentioned 100,000 arrows, not only Zuo Xian Wang, but even the generals present could not sit still.

Although the Huns did not lack war horses, 50,000 war horses were not a small number for them.

But if they could exchange for arrows, then this matter was not without room for negotiation.

After all, they still mainly fight on horseback and shoot on horseback.

Arrows and weapons are consumables, and they are extremely short of these consumables.

And Da Wu did not open trade with the Xiongnu. Even if they did, all ironware was strictly sold to them.

Even if they bought it at a high price on the black market through various methods, they could not buy too much.

Now that Da Wu is willing to pay for the war horses, even the arrows, how can they not be tempted.

"Fifty thousand war horses can be negotiated, but Da Wu must give us one million arrows, and they must be delivered to us as soon as possible."

"You Da Wu lack horses, and you Da Wu must know that it is not easy to train horses.

Fifty thousand war horses are not a small number for us."

After pondering for a long time, Zuo Xian Wang spoke to the envoy.

"My Great Wu will soon go to war with the Donghu, and we are in short supply of arrows!

So if we want to get them as soon as possible, we have to wait until after the war.

And it is impossible to have a million arrows. It is true that my Great Wu lacks horses, and we know that horses are indeed difficult to train.

But arrows are not so easy to make."

"The cost of a million arrows alone, if we only purchase horses, will be far more than 50,000.

Not to mention that 30,000 of them are mineThe reward for the Great Wu desperately holding back the 150,000 Donghu troops.

You should know that if you send troops to the Donghu base camp, and we do not stop you, the Donghu Khan can lead the 150,000 troops back at any time.

If the Left Wise King wants to dispatch troops from Longcheng or the Right Wise King, not to mention the long journey and the time is simply too late.

For example, the Dingling, Jiankun, Xiqiang tribes, and the countries in the Western Regions may be difficult to guard against.

Even the Great Wu may be able to take this opportunity to send troops to cooperate closely with the Donghu.

In this way, the Great Wu may gain more, and even resolve the grievances with the Donghu and become a friendly country. ”

The envoy refused Zuo Xian Wang’s lion’s mouth without thinking.

Then he said that the arrows were expensive and difficult to make.

At the same time, he also analyzed the disadvantages of the Xiongnu to take the initiative.

Zuo Xian Wang frowned at the envoy’s words.

“Hmph! Don’t forget, my Xiongnu can send a large number of troops to the south at any time to attack Da Wu together with Dong Hu!”

The military advisor wearing Da Wu clothes scolded the envoy with a cold face.

For this man’s words, the envoy just looked at him with contempt and disgust and ignored him.

From the moment he came in, he disliked this guy wearing his Da Wu clothes and having his Da Wu face.

Even from the bottom of his heart, he hated him.
