My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 37 Red Face Sings, White Face Collapses

"A little kid?" the fat man questioned.

"Humph, is there no one left in the Han Dynasty?" the thin man said angrily.

The Han prince who was sitting upright did not respond. The prince's tutor standing behind him said coldly, "This is the crown prince of our Han dynasty. Don't be rude!"

On the grass, next to the table.

On the Xiongnu side, King Hunxie and King Xiutu sat cross-legged in the north.

On the Han side, besides Liu Ju, there were two others behind him, one was Zhuang Qingzhai and the other was Su Wu.

On the left side of the desk was a man with an honest face, Tang Yifu.

One thing worth mentioning is.

The above conversation, as well as the subsequent conversations between the two parties, were all translated by Tang Yifu...

"Our Han Dynasty has produced countless heroes and great men, so how could there be no one?"

Liu Ju, who was sitting at the south end, stood up straight, his left hand on the sword, his right hand hanging forward, and said calmly: "It's just to contact you two, just one young man is enough!"

Upon hearing this, King Xiutu became furious.

"How dare you insult me, little boy!?"

He leaned forward, holding the hilt of the knife, with an angry look on his face, as if blood would splatter five steps away in the next moment!
bass!
Su Wu immediately stepped forward, with the sword at his waist already three inches out.

"Wait a minute!"

At the moment when the situation became tense, it was King Hunxie who stopped both sides and signaled the Han warriors to remain calm. At the same time, he also held down King Xiutu's forward leaning body.

"Since you are the successor of the Han emperor, you are naturally qualified to negotiate with us. We want to surrender, so please show your sincerity."

After being pressed by King Hunxie, King Xiutu really calmed down, snorted coldly, and sat back in his original position.

Liu Ju saw everything.

Earlier, when the thin man was shouting for war and killing, he watched quietly. Now that the fat man was trying to persuade him with soft words, he still sat still and chuckled:

"If you two want to intimidate me with just a few words, I would like to advise you to stop being so cunning."

talking.

Liu Ju's face suddenly darkened. "You must know one thing. The reason I can come here today is because you begged me to come. If you can't fight, you can't negotiate either!"

"Pretending to be tough? Still qualified?"

"With your honor as a stray dog, you can't be considered tough, and you don't have the qualifications. I am giving you face by letting us sit together today!"

The words are spoken.

Hunxie and Xiu Tu both changed color.

"you!?"

There was fire in his eyes, resentment on his face, but...he dared not say a word!

After a moment's stalemate, they found that the young crown prince's gaze was staring straight at them, without any sign of softening. They looked at each other and knew that they had encountered a tough problem.

Before leaving the city.

Hunxie and Xiu Tu did have a division of labor, and agreed that one would play the good guy and the other the bad guy.

Although they both had their own ulterior motives, they shared the same interests in suppressing and intimidating the Han court envoys.

But people are not as good as heaven.

Originally, King Hunxie was secretly glad that the other party was just a young boy, but he didn't expect that this kid was so evil!
For a while.

The two Hun kings had pale faces and did not make any other moves.

Before the negotiation even started, a round of confrontation had already been completed. From the current perspective, the Han side had a full aura and gained an overwhelming advantage...

"If you want to invest, we have our own sincerity."

At this time.

Liu Ju waved his hand, and Zhuang Qingzhai took out a piece of brocade rolled into a cylinder from his sleeve, spread it out, and pushed it in front of Hunxie and Xiu Tu.

"This is the imperial edict of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. It has the seal on it, which can verify its authenticity."

King Xiutu just glanced at the brocade and didn't look at it any further. King Hunxie, however, looked at it carefully for a while, but only for a moment and then ignored it.

They didn't know Chinese characters, and the style of the imperial seal was new to them. Compared to these "empty" things, they cared more about the promises made in person.

"If you two surrender to the Han Dynasty, we can confer titles on you and establish a marquisate. Your former tribesmen can become our own people, enjoy taxes, and inherit the throne from generation to generation."

"That is to say, your title, privileges, wealth, and tribes can be passed down to your sons and grandsons. As long as the Han Dynasty exists, they will always be yours!"

What Liu Ju says now is true and very straightforward.

This is also written in the imperial edict.

What the imperial edict did not state, and Liu Ju did not explain clearly, was that the Han dynasty might not be the same as the Xiongnu people thought...

Before Emperor Jing, the marquisates themselves had great control over the people of the marquisate and even had administrative power within their fiefdoms.

But after Emperor Jing, they only enjoyed the power of taxation, and the marquisates were managed by officials dispatched by the imperial court.

Of course.

There is no need to tell these to the Huns...

When he heard that the tribe he cared about the most still belonged to him, King Xiu Tu raised his eyebrows, and King Hun Xie laughed directly:
"Okay! Enjoy!"

He stretched out his big hand and slapped the table, "I don't ask for much. The 200,000 men, women, young and old of the Hunxie tribe must all be classified as my subjects, and the fiefdoms..."

"The fiefdom shall be in the area west of the Yellow River!"

"King Xiutu and I will still occupy half each and guard the border for the Han Dynasty!"

Negotiation.

He just asked for a sky-high price and paid a low price. King Hunxie was not vague at all and he boasted and flattered as much as he could!
Not to mention Liu Ju, King Xiu Tu sneered when he heard it.

Still two hundred thousand people?
There are so many people here, do you need to sit here and listen to the Han people's chatter?
"No matter how many tribes you have, the Han Dynasty can only grant you the rank of marquis of ten thousand households and fifty thousand subjects." Liu Ju bargained, and the terms were unexpectedly lenient.

"Row!"

King Hunxie agreed immediately, "Let's talk about the fiefdom..."

"There is no room for negotiation on fiefdoms!" Liu Ju was very resolute about this matter. "You must all move out of Hexi!"

The Hexi Corridor is a strategic location and there is no room for any concession.

Although he had guessed it long ago, King Hunxie still became alert instinctively.

"Where to move?"

"Longxi County, Beidi County, and Shuofang County, oh, that's the Henan area that was previously occupied by your Right Aries King and Loufan King."

Henan area, Hetao region.

Upon hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar name, King Hunxie and King Xiutu were immediately embarrassed.

King Hunxie then lowered his tone of bargaining a little, "Well, that's fine, but my people must have the most fertile pasture."

"Yes!" Liu Ju answered quickly.

"Which one? I heard that your Han emperor likes to reward fertile fields, luxurious houses, and beautiful maids..."

"Humph!"

Hunxie King was halfway through his words when Liu Ju snorted coldly, "Before you ask for this or that, where is your sincerity?"

"Ha, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty is so open and frank. After we return to the city, we will immediately gather our troops and..." King Hunxie did not even utter the word 'surrender'.

"and many more!"

King Xiu Tu suddenly interrupted, glanced at King Hun Xie, and said, "You are satisfied, but I am not."

He completely ignored the shocked look of King Hunxie and said coldly: "Except for the land west of the Yellow River, my Xiu Tu tribe will not go anywhere else!"

"Unless the country is established in Hexi, I would rather fight to the death. To tell you the truth, I have sent people to ask for help from the Great Chanyu, and the reinforcements will arrive at any time!"

"Humph."

"The outcome of this battle is still unknown!"

Listen.

Liu Ju's upright sitting posture suddenly leaned back and looked at the other person with a squinting eye.

King Hunxie who was sitting next to him was even more furious. He had noticed before that King Xiutu was too aggressive in playing the good guy role, and now he was doing the same to him?
Asking for help from the Great Chanyu! ?
Want me to die?
