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

"Oh! Very good!"

"What a sweet-talking mouth!"

"How come you say that it's as if your Great Wu is fine, and my Great Xiongnu is the enemy of the whole world!"

Zuo Xian Wang smiled and sneered at the envoy with cold eyes.

"The foreign minister is just stating a fact! There is no eternal hatred between countries, but only common interests are lacking."

The envoy remained calm.

"Well said, there is no eternal hatred between countries, only eternal interests!"

"I didn't expect that a country of etiquette like your Great Wu could say such words."

Zuo Xian Wang's eyes lit up at the envoy's words.

Because this sentence really made the nature of the relationship between countries clear.

This also made Zuo Xian Wang, who was originally angry with the envoy, look at the envoy with a higher opinion.

But the envoy was somewhat indifferent to the term "country of etiquette".

After his emperor said that, he was not so optimistic about the term "country of etiquette", which is evil at home and good abroad.

"My Great Wu can give the Xiongnu at most 300,000 arrows!"

The envoy did not respond to the words of Zuo Xian Wang, but gave his bottom line.

Although the arrows they were going to give to the Xiongnu were only defective ones used on the battlefield.

But the number was huge, and they were unwilling to give them to the Xiongnu.

Let's not talk about anything else. Although many of the arrows used on the battlefield were damaged, a large part of them could still be recycled.

Although arrows are consumables, they are not directly damaged after use.

Giving so many arrows to the Xiongnu, who can guarantee that some of the good ones will not be used in the Great Wu in the future.

So he, the Great Wu, can exchange arrows for war horses, but definitely not too many.

"Three hundred thousand arrows are too few!

If there are only three hundred thousand arrows, I can only give you ten thousand war horses!"

Zuo Xian Wang narrowed his eyes, shook his head and bargained with the envoy again.

"Okay, but I must let the minister take it away now!

After all, no matter how urgent the war between my Great Wu and Dong Hu is, we can better prevent the Dong Hu army from turning back with more war horses.

If there are fewer cavalry, the Dong Hu cavalry want to run, and we are mostly infantry, so we can't catch up with them."

"As for the arrows promised to Zuo Xian Wang, we can only speed up the processing and send them to Zuo Xian Wang after the war is over.

But I can assure Zuo Xian Wang that the number of arrows will never be short of Zuo Xian Wang."

The envoy was thinking, and after thinking about it, he agreed with Zuo Xian Wang.

Anyway, his main purpose of coming this time was to ensure that the Xiongnu would attack the Donghu base camp instead of marching south to attack their Great Wu.

Though through various analyses, they determined that the possibility that the Xiongnu would attack the Donghu was very high.

After all, there can be no two tigers in one mountain.How could they allow others to sleep soundly?

But without a clear message, they dared not gamble.

As for the war horses, they took them along. Although they also wanted as many as possible, they could not reveal any flaws to Zuo Xian Wang.

After all, they promised Zuo Xian Wang the arrows, but they could not exchange them for money and goods at the same time.

Similarly, they wanted to exchange the discarded arrows for war horses, but they could not exchange more.

First of all, just as they thought just now, there were many usable ones among these discarded arrows.

No one could guarantee whether these arrows would be shot at Da Wu in the end.

In addition, the most important point was that he promised to give Zuo Xian Wang a million arrows, and he was afraid that Zuo Xian Wang would be suspicious of him at that time.

So if he wanted to take the war horses away now, it might be a little impossible.

"Okay!"

"But we have to sign a contract!"

King Zuo Xian did not refuse this time.

Not to mention that through the conversation just now, he was already convinced that the people of Da Wu really wanted to exchange arrows for his warhorse.

Let's say that Da Wu was facing 150,000 Donghu cavalry. Everyone can see that Da Wu is now at a disadvantage.

But he still promised to give Da Wu 30,000 warhorses, which was also to enable Da Wu to have the strength to contain the 150,000 Donghu troops to come back for support.

After all, it was well known that Da Wu lacked horses. If Da Wu said without any evidence that Da Wu wanted to form an alliance with them, the Great Xiongnu, and then helped the Great Xiongnu to contain the 150,000 Donghu cavalry and prevent them from returning to the base camp.

He would never believe it.

It's not that he looked down on Da Wu's army, but how many tens of thousands of cavalry could Da Wu have?

When the Donghu army retreats, just as the Wu envoy said, let the infantry run after the horsemen?

How is this possible?

In addition, it is unrealistic to ask the Wu cavalry to chase the 150,000 Donghu cavalry.

After all, Wu itself lacks cavalry. It is now known that the Wu cavalry has completely wiped out the 30,000 Donghu cavalry.

In addition, if there are more, I am afraid that they can be gathered together in bits and pieces. I don’t know how many more there are.

He admitted that the 30,000 Wu cavalry were very powerful, but he felt that it was unrealistic to use 30,000 to intercept 150,000 cavalry.

So he agreed to give Wu 30,000, hoping that Wu’s cavalry would gather 60,000 or even more cavalry, and then have the strength to temporarily block the 150,000 Donghu cavalry and give the infantry time to pursue.

Of course, although his Xiongnu did not lack war horses, it was not a dog family.

He only wanted to give the Great Wu the horses that could hold back the 150,000 Donghu cavalry. He didn't care how much the Great Wu would lose.

But the Great Wu was willing to exchange arrows for more horses, and he was happy with that.

He also understood the current situation of the Great Wu, and was more willing to believe that the Great Wu wanted to cooperate with him, the Great Xiongnu, to eliminate or even severely damage the Donghu.

"Yes!"

Seeing that the Left Wise King did not mention the quality, the envoy laughed secretly in his heart, and was also veryHe readily agreed.

But this also made the man who looked like a military advisor frown.

He was unwilling to let the Great Xiongnu cooperate with the Great Wu.

In front of the parade ground in Liaodong, an important town...

"Soldiers, this time the 150,000 cavalrymen of the Donghu are heading south, and your majesty has prepared sufficient food and weapons for us!

And behind us are millions of Youzhou people, how many of them are your family members, brothers and sisters!

This time we can let the Donghu cross the border of the important town of Liaodong to slaughter our people, our people!"

Standing on the parade ground, Yue Fei felt the biting cold wind and looked down at the hundreds of thousands of troops below, roaring loudly.

In order to encourage the commander to stand on the parade ground to boost the morale of the army, the parade ground was built in a good geographical location.

The commander's voice can also be heard far away.

It’s just that there are too many troops crowded on the scene now.

Yue Fei used all his strength to move his Qi to his Dantian, but he couldn’t guarantee that the soldiers outside could hear it.

But it doesn’t matter. If the ones behind can’t hear it, there will be messengers to convey it.
