Chapter 304

"The Great Khan came to meet him for no amount of money. I am grateful." Fusu invited Maodun and his party to sit down and said to Maodun. This is a formal negotiation, so naturally we cannot meet with private gifts. We have to use the banner of the prince.

Maodun smiled and said, "I have a deep understanding of the country of Chinese etiquette, but it is indeed well-known. The prince invited me to do so, but I dared not obey my orders."

“Thank you, Da Shanyu.

"Fusu thanked politely and said, "The dispute between the Donghu and the Great Huns Daqin did not want to participate in it, but it was the responsibility of the Great Qin to be harmonious with all nations. You both sides fought to the death, which had caused a very bad impact. Daqin had no choice but to mediate the dispute between you and the King of Donghu, and asked the Great Shanyu to quit the war with the Donghu in his heart of kindness and not let the creatures suffer.



It would be very troublesome for the Qin Dynasty to participate in this matter. If the Qin Dynasty mediation envoy was just a minister, Maodun could be completely vain and whirlwind. But now the prince mediated himself, which means that the Qin Dynasty would not stop if he did not make contributions, because if the prince came forward to mediate without any result, it would damage the prince's majesty and status, which would make Maodun unable to re-weight it.

"The prince came to mediate the dispute between the Great Huns and the Donghu in his heart, and our Shanyu was extremely grateful.

"Mao Dun said slowly and said, "I believe the prince has some understanding of our Great Huns. The Donghu has always been a powerful Donghu and the Great Huns are weak. Bullying the weak has always been a common trick by Donghu.

The King of Donghu was insatiable and asked me for horses and women, which made me resisted him with no choice.

Being harmonious and forming brotherly friendship has always been the national policy pursued by the Shanyu. The Great Huns and the Qin Dynasty became brotherly countries. The prince knew about this. The King of Donghu was too tyrannical, so the Shanyu had to fight back against him for the survival of the Great Huns.

Lai Tian’s blessing was favored by the Great Huns, so that our Shanyu could punish the greedy villains.”

His words are half true and half false. He cannot be true. On the surface, the current evolution of the situation is indeed as he said because the Donghu is powerful and always bullies the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu has no choice but to send troops to defeat the Donghu.

But from a deeper analysis, we can find that he is telling lies. Destroying the Donghu and strengthening the Huns was a strategy that Maodun had already decided, but was just waiting for the opportunity.

The smart man in Fusu would not have been fooled by him. He smiled and said, "Although what the Great Shanyu said makes sense, the matter was indeed caused by the powerful and oppression of the Xiongnu."

Maodun nodded slightly, thinking that this is the case, and he is not afraid that Fusu will not recognize him. If he does not recognize him, Fusu is talking nonsense, and the subsequent negotiations will be more beneficial to him. If Fusu agrees, then this matter will also be beneficial to him.

Therefore, the talk was smoother and Maodun's wishful thinking was very good.

Fusu continued: "As far as the prince knows, what Donghu wants is nothing more than horses and women, and he did not ask for an inch of land in the Huns.

But now the Great Khan possesses the land of Donghu. The land is the foundation of the country. The Great Khan does not think it is too much? The Great Khan is familiar with China. You should know that catching cattle from the fields is too much."

The implication is that Maodun restores Donghu and obtains the land of Donghu and the people of the Huns can only be strong. Maodun has completely occupied Donghu's land, so it is impossible for him to spit it out.

He smiled and said, "What the prince said is very reasonable, but we, the Huns, have always been kind to repay kindness and grudges, and Donghu oppressed us so much. If we don't take revenge, we will not be the Great Huns.

Although what the prince said was reasonable, it was really a dilemma for the Great Huns. I would like to ask the prince not to say anything more.

"Ben Shanyu can assure the prince that if the King of Donghu could return to the land of Donghu, Ben Shanyu promised him that he would never kill him. He could also give him a piece of land for him to continue to be his Donghu King. Ben Shanyu not only did not want him to pay tribute.

He will also give him generous gifts every year.”

This is both a kind of demeanor and a kind of power. It is said to be a kind of demeanor. That is because for the Huns, the Donghu King deserves death, but Maodun wants to forgive him for his death, let him be the king, and reward him, which is indeed an extraordinary demeanor.

It is actually very simple to say that it is a power trick, because the Donghu King has become a dog of a family and there is no threat anymore. It is the same as killing him or not.

If you don’t kill him, give him a small piece of land to continue to be king, and you can also show your magnanimity and kindness to other countries to win people’s hearts.

Maodun has both demeanor and means. Zhou Chong and others praised this person from the bottom of their hearts, and he is worthy of being a person who has been influenced by Chinese culture.

Fusu shook his head and said, "The prince admired the demeanor of the Great Shanyu. But did the Grand Shanyu think that Donghu is on his way to Xianyang now, and where he should decide what he will go, rather than the prince's decision on his behalf."

When King Donghu came to Daqin, he would definitely not let him return to Donghu again. He would let him stay in Xianyang and provide delicious food and drink. Isn’t it just a waste of food, but he can get the image of harmony among all nations, set an example for those ethnic minorities who admire China, so that they no longer oppose Daqin, make friends with Daqin, and even defect to Daqin.

This move was used perfectly by the Han Dynasty, treating the Hu people who defected to the Han Dynasty with great etiquette, and resolutely attacking the rebels, and well divided and disintegrated strategies, which had a very great effect.

With Qin Shihuang's shrewdness, he would definitely not miss this opportunity.

Maodun said very firmly: "If the King of Donghu does not return to the land of Donghu, he cannot be considered a Donghu. We Hu people have the rules of our Hu people, that is, we cannot fall into a foreign country, and even if we die, we will die on our own land."

This is just an excuse. The Qin Dynasty would never let the King of Donghu go back. Fusu vetoed: "The Great Shanyu said this. The King of Donghu is still the king of a country. He can decide his own way. No one can decide for him. This is what the prince personally guaranteed to him.

If the Great Khan had to insist, then the Great Khan would be too arrogant and wanted to order the prince. "After speaking, his tone was very harsh.

Maudun's ambition to command the world was Maodun's ambition, but now is not the time. The strength of the Huns was not strong enough and they must not turn against the Qin Dynasty. Maodun said calmly: "The prince is so serious, and the words are so serious. I don't have that kind of heart. There is no matter in the land or in the world.

Since the prince has something to say first, this matter can be requested by Daqin, and the King of Donghu himself will be decided by him. This Shanyu will never force him."

Although the King of Donghu was the king of the country, it was for anyone who controlled him to benefit him. Maodun wanted to get Dong. He had lost for a while when he spoke like this.

Zhou Chong spoke slowly and said, "The Great Khan is prepared this time. According to Zhou Chong's opinion, the Great Khan plans not to restore Donghu anymore and intends to occupy the land of Donghu people.

In this case, let’s not talk about the Donghu matters, let’s talk about the Huns and the Qin matters first.”

Maodun looked at Zhou Chong in surprise and said, "Mr. Zhou is such a misunderstanding. The Great Huns and the Great Qin are brotherly countries and have always been very harmonious. There is nothing to talk about."
