Chapter 1962 Conditions
As the rising sun rose, the soldiers guarding the city did not wait for the attack from the Yiman assistant, but waited for two barbarian cavalry to reach the city. This was obviously not for the attack, so the soldiers on the top of the city did not shoot arrows easily.
"I am Qulu, the messenger sent by Shi Khan." The first man raised his neck and shouted loudly, "I want to see your emperor."
Dingwu and Xuanyuan Shao were not on the top of the city at this time. A general sneered at the bottom: "Who do you think the emperor is the one who you want to see? If you don't retreat, don't blame me for shooting you with one arrow."
"Don't regret it." Qu Lu shouted: "Tu Shihan sent me to negotiate. If you miss this opportunity, it will be impossible for you to negotiate in the future."
The general hesitated for a moment. The other party sent an envoy to negotiate, which was quite unexpected to him. He naturally could not make the decision to drive away an enemy envoy. After thinking for a while, he finally said, "Wait." He immediately sent someone to report.
Dingwu is now in the house not far from the city. Soon someone came back and whispered a few words, nodded his head, and shouted at the city: "You want to negotiate. The emperor has no time to come to see you for the time being. Do you have the courage to enter the city?"
Qu Lu was not afraid and said loudly: "Open the city gate and I will go in now, Grassland Warriors, you can actually scare you."
The general sneered, "Open the city gate, you think beautifully. Wait a moment." He looked up and looked into the distance. The Yiman military camp was still a little far away. The dark camp tents in the distance were connected in front of him, but the Yiman soldiers were not seen approaching him.
Qu Lu waited for a while and was a little impatient. At this moment, he put down a basket from the edge of the battlement. The basket was quite large. He tied it with a long rope and put it down from the top of the city. The general shouted at Qu Lu: "If you want to enter the city, you will go to the basket."
Qu Lu was a little annoyed, but he knew that the other party could not open the city gate. He did not hesitate, so he turned over and dismounted, went straight to the basket, and pulled the rope, which was strong. Soon the soldiers on the city side pulled him up to the city and came out of the basket. Qu Lu saw that the soldiers were about to collect the basket, and hurriedly said, "There is another person." He pointed at the city side, and he rode over in total, and he got on the city side first. The man under the city was still waiting.
"It's enough to have you alone." The general waved his hand and ordered: "Come, take him to see the Lord."
When Dingwu saw Qu Lu, the little messenger sent by the Yiman people seemed to be growing on his head, tilted his neck, and striding heavily when he walked. Even when he saw the Emperor Daqin, he just casually gave Yiman people a ceremony.
"You want to see me?" Dingwu looked at Qu Lu lightly, "Now I see me, what do you want to say?"
Qu Lu glanced at the civil and military officials on both sides and smiled, "I wonder if the emperor will see the fire?" His face was full of pride, but the civil and military officials on both sides all changed color. Two generals were already trying to draw their swords. Qu Lu glanced at it without fear and said, "If you are afraid of your sword, you will not come. Your swords can only be shown at this time. We have been waiting outside the city for so long, but you will not see you go out of the city to show your swords."
"Rare!" someone shouted in a deep voice.
Dingwu raised his hand, and everyone suddenly stopped talking, but the cold light was staring at Qu Lu.
"Your name is Qu Lu?" Dingwu said: "Is it that I sent you here to show off my power in front of me?"
Qu Lu laughed and raised his hand to take off the felt hat on his head, "Emperor, I said that the fire was not to show off your power, but to tell you that our hatred had disappeared with the fire. You killed the patriarchs of our thirteen tribes, and our grassland warriors had a clear grudge. If you had a grudge on them, you would naturally have to avenge them."
The ministers did not understand Qu Lu's meaning, and looked at each other, but Dingwu remained calm and said lightly: "Hate disappeared with the fire, but I don't understand what you mean."
"The meaning of Shi Khan and the generals of all races is very clear. Our 100,000 army on the grassland!" Before Qu Lu finished speaking, someone sneered beside him: "100,000 army? I didn't expect that you barbarians would not blush when they brag."
Qu Lu really didn't blush at all and said loudly: "Of course there are no 100,000 troops outside the city, but it is easy to get another 100,000 warriors from the grassland with a sudden sweat."
This is naturally an exaggeration.
This time, the tribes of the grassland came bravely, and almost gathered the most elite soldiers on the grassland. There were only a handful of soldiers and horses left in their own tribes.
After all, we must be wary of some tribes taking the opportunity to attack on the grassland, so each tribe does have troops and horses in their own tribes. But even so, even if all the cavalry that can be fought is transferred, it is already impossible to transfer 20,000 to 30,000 people. If we transfer another 100,000 troops, it would be a lion's mouth.
However, most of the officials present did not understand the situation in the grasslands in the north of Mobei. It was hard to tell whether Qu Lu said it was true or false, and it was real that it was really difficult to tell.
Seeing that everyone was not speaking, Qu Lu continued, "Our grassland army has already fought against you after capturing the Heavenly Palace, and there is no hatred anymore. Shi Khan said, Qin is a great country in the Central Plains, and we don't want to be enemies with you. This time, we sent troops to avenge the patriarchs of all tribes. Now that the great revenge has been avenged, we don't want to continue to be enemies with you, but we are willing to continue to be friends with you."
"Friend?" Xuanyuan Shao said lightly: "How are you going to be friends with us?"
Qu Lu smiled and said, "Shi Khan knew that Qin was full of thieves, and you Qin was no longer able to eliminate those thieves, so if you want, our grassland warriors can continue to help you. As long as we help, it would be easy to eliminate the thieves in Qin."
Dingwu remained silent and smiled faintly: "Your troops are at the city and are determined to capture Wuping Prefecture. Now you have changed your mind? I will help me suppress the thieves suddenly, so I will naturally not do my best. What are his conditions?"
"Your Zhongyuan has a very good saying, "The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, I should remember correctly." Qu Lu smiled and said, "Emperor, there are three conditions for sudden sweating. As long as you agree, we can turn enemies into friends and cooperate sincerely."
“What conditions?”
"First, the emperor wants to confer Tu Shi Khan as the prairie Khan, and also issue an imperial edict." Qu Lu said.
Dingwu leaned against the chair and stared at Qu Lu, "The second condition?"
"Tu Shi Khan is willing to marry Qin, and the emperor wants to marry your princess to Tu Shi Khan." Qu Lu said: "This will also issue an edict in the world so that everyone knows that Qin and our Tu Shi Khan have become relatives."
Dingwu smiled and said, "The people of Xiliang also wanted to marry me, Daqin, but they did not do as they wish. I didn't expect that today you are still using the same tricks. The third condition proposed by the sudden exertion should be to ask for money and food, right?"
"The emperor is indeed a smart person." Qu Lu said: "You Qin State is already in danger. If the thief comes, no matter how much gold, silver and treasures are, they will be of no use to you. Since that is the case, it is better to reward those gold, silver and treasures to the grassland warriors. With everyone's rewards and morale is high, they will naturally be invincible and help you eliminate the thief. Of course, food is also indispensable."
When Dingwu heard this, he suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter was strange. Everyone looked at each other. Qu Lu frowned and said loudly: "The emperor of Qin, do you agree to the conditions for sudden sweating?"
"Come here!" Dingwu's face turned cold, "Pull this person down and throw it down from the top of the city."
A warrior rushed in and stepped forward and grabbed Qulu.
Qu Lu changed his color, "Emperor of Qin, what do you mean? Even if you don't agree, you can't kill me."
"Why can't you kill?"
"You Zhongyuan said that the two countries will fight each other and come to the envoys." Qu Li shouted: "And if you kill me, we will be incompatible and there will be no room for negotiation. I suddenly exerted my kindness and kindness. Do you really want to watch the city be destroyed?"
"The two countries are fighting, but they are not killed." Dingwu said slowly: "But in my eyes, you barbarians are nothing more than a group of bandits, so how can you talk about state affairs? Since you are not even a country, you can't talk about anything."
"You!" Qu Lu blushed anxiously. He obviously didn't expect that Dingwu would turn against him so quickly.
Dingwu leaned forward slightly and stared at Qu Lu, "After all, Yiman is Yiman, and he also wants to learn from us to play with wisdom, which can only be a joke. You are very good at calculating, thinking that I have arrived at the end of the country and are afraid of fighting with you, and thinking that as long as I hear you have peace talks, I will agree to anything?" Sighed, "I suddenly used a small trick and thought I was very smart, but it's a pity that my children in the Central Plains could use these methods."
Qu Lu shouted: "It is true that he has no tricks to sweat suddenly."
"No matter whether it is true or false, I have no need to negotiate peace with you." Dingwu smiled and said, "Now the enemy is strong and I am weak. Even if we want to negotiate peace, we can only propose it first. But the strange thing is that you are the first to propose peace. Of course, it will not be for no reason. You barbarians have the upper hand. According to common sense, it is hard to imagine that the party with the upper hand will take the initiative to propose peace. Once this is the case, there will be something strange..." The expression in your eyes began to become cold, "But I will not pursue what is strange, because I have never thought of having to do with you."
We are discussing peace. As you said, I saw that fire. I am the king of a country. Seeing your people being massacred by you, and watching you kill people and set fire under my nose, do you think I can still make peace with you? You just said that after a fire, the grudge between you and me has been over, but I want to tell you that from the ignition of that fire, our hatred cannot be resolved at all. I killed you not because I hate you, but because I want to tell Tu Shi and the Yi Barbarians that I, Da Qin and Yi Barbarians, can only have one standing after this war!"
