    You Beiping County is more desolate than before.

    When Gongsun Zan was here, he worked hard to manage this place, but God's calculations were not as good as those of man, and Gongsun Zan was defeated and died.

    In order to reduce Gongsun Zan's influence, Yuan Shao deliberately lowered You Beiping's status.

    Coupled with the fact that Yuan Shao had good relations with foreign tribes and did not need too many garrison troops, Youbeiping County declined. Some areas were still controlled by Qiu Liju and now became Tadun's territory.

    The arrival of 600,000 troops shocked the entire Youbeiping.

    "The Marquis of Dongyang has gone too far to bully others!" Tadun said viciously. He took one step back, but the Marquis of Dongyang persisted and refused to let go. He simply didn't take Wu Huan seriously.

    Wuhuan in the three counties had just experienced a major defeat. At this time, the tribe's troops were less than 100,000.

    Tadun felt deeply powerless, and the eyes he looked at Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were different.

    "Chanyu, the Marquis of Dongyang has sent 600,000 troops to kill Wuhuan!" Yuan Shang said worriedly, completely alienating himself and diverting Tadun's attention.

    It really works.

    "I, Da Wuhuan, am afraid of him!" Tadun said bravely.

    During the heyday of Wuhuan, it was true that the Han Dynasty was suppressed, but such days are gone forever.

    Because Liu Ke took control of Youzhou.

    "Of course Wuhuan is not afraid of him, but Shanyu" Yuan Shang stopped talking.

    Which pot should not be opened?

    Tadun¡¯s tribe was just closest to the border of the Han Dynasty.  This Wuhuan tribe is not the only one. Further north, there are more Wuhuan tribes.

    But Tadun can¡¯t command them.

    So facing Liu Ke's 600,000 troops, Tadun was still very timid, but he couldn't show it.

    Wuhuan does not need a weak Chanyu.

    "Humph, the grassland is our home field. As long as Dongyang Hou dares to enter the grassland, this Shanyu will definitely tell him to never come back." Tadun said.

    In fact, Tadun has sent people to ask for reinforcements, but there has been no response yet because the weather has gradually turned cold.

    Wuhuan rarely fights in winter.  Most of their energy will be used to resist the harsh winter.

    Liu Ke is also not good at fighting in the cold winter, so he plans to have a decisive battle with Tadun within half a month.

    "Report! A letter from Marquis Dongyang!" A Shanyu guard rushed in.

    Tadun had dealt with Gongsun Zan before, so literacy was not a problem. The content of the letter was also very simple, which was to ask Tadun to hand over the Yuan brothers.

    This time, Liu Kelian didn¡¯t even bother to send an envoy and just issued an ultimatum.

    Tadun frowned, he really didn¡¯t want to fight Liu Ke at this time.

    The odds of winning are too slim!

    So, Tadun glanced at Yuan Shang again.

    Yuan Shang was anxious and wise and said: "Chanyu, you might as well adopt a delaying strategy."

    "What is a delaying strategy?" Tadun asked.

    "It's very simple, pretend to agree to Dongyang Hou's request, but we also have to make some demands, bargain, delay, and survive this winter, your world will be yours." Yuan Shangdao.

    This suggestion is very much in line with Tadun¡¯s wishes. As for keeping one¡¯s promises, where can credibility come from without benefits?

    "You are very smart." Tadun praised.

    However, Yuan Shang couldn't be happy. If he didn't come up with an idea, his life would be in danger.

    Tadun followed Yuan Shang's suggestion and sent people to Youbeiping County.

    It¡¯s okay to surrender, but Yangzhou has to pay 500,000 gold, some ironware, silk and satin

    Liu Ke was impatient before he finished reading the "gift list".

    Tadun is so shameless!

    "Cut the envoy and send it back to Tadun. Do you really think Yuan Shang's life is so valuable?" Liu Ke said disdainfully.

    "My lordisn't this bad?" Jushou stuttered.

    Jushou and Shenpei know Youzhou better, so Liu Ke took them with him on this expedition.

    As the saying goes, when two armies are fighting, the envoy will not be killed.  If you kill other people's envoys, others will naturally dare to kill Yangzhou's envoys. Who in Yangzhou will dare to be an envoy in the future?

    Liu He couldn't help but be afraid. If he hadn't had an old relationship with Wuhuan, he might have been killed.

    Everyone in Yangzhou has become accustomed to it. This is not the first time Liu has killed an envoy. Those who don't like it will basically die.

    In the midst of Yuan Shang¡¯s numerous warnings, the Wuhuan envoy did not speak rudely, but it was a pity that it was hard to?Doom.

    Who asked Tadun to make such an exorbitant request?

    Among them, the one who felt the deepest impression was Gongsun Kang, because the envoy from Liaodong was once hung on the deck to be exposed to the wind and sun, and became a mummy directly.

    Liu Ke is never merciless in killing his enemies.

    "This is obviously a delaying tactic and they are treating us like fools." Liu Kedao.

    However, Jushou still saved the envoy's life and said: "Lord, we can use the plan to our advantage."

    The reason why Tadun sent the envoy was because he did not want to fight.  If Liu Ke kills the envoy, Tadun may flee further north, making it difficult to pursue him.

    This is the advantage of aliens!

    If you can¡¯t fight, run away, wait until you lick your wounds, and offend again.

    On the contrary, if you let the messenger go, you can paralyze Tadun.

    Tadun also didn¡¯t want to spend the winter in the north, because it was so cold there that people would freeze to death.

    So, taking advantage of the situation is a good choice.

    Liu was not a murderous person. He agreed to Jushou¡¯s plan and replied to Tadun:

    Can!  However, the heads of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi must be offered first.

    The envoy could not make the decision, so he went back to report to Tadun.

    When Yuan Shang heard the news, he was shocked and angry. Dongyang Hou was so shameless and compromised with a foreign race for his head.

    Where is your integrity?

    However, Tadun saw a problem from it, that is, the Yangzhou Army continued to fight and needed to rest.

    Although there are 600,000 Yangzhou troops, they have participated in many major battles.

    Soldiers are humans, not machines.

    Tadun looked at Yuan Shang again.

    Yuan Shang was frightened and said quickly: "Chanyu, you can't go first, otherwise you will bow to Dongyanghou? You might as well let Dongyanghou offer 500,000 gold first."

    Tadun felt that it made sense. When the time came, he could still take the money and not do anything, thus killing two birds with one stone.

    Yuan Shang breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of life is really too difficult.

    If there were no interests to tie him down, Tadun would not look down on Yuan Shang.  The reason why Tadun helped Yuan Shang was because he still had value.

    Tadun wanted to take revenge, but it was almost impossible without the help of the Han people. He knew this well, so he took in the Yuan brothers.

    However, Tadun wouldn¡¯t mind selling Yuan Shang if Liu Ke offered a higher price.

    When Liu Ke received Tadun¡¯s letter, he was even more sure that Tadun was stalling for time.

    Liu Ke replied:

    Aren¡¯t Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi two heads?  Cut off one first and exchange the head for 500,000 gold.

    Tadun was embarrassed, he was actually considering this matter.

    Of course, Yuan Shang could not admit defeat and said: "Chanyu, you must not believe what Marquis Dongyang says, he is definitely lying to you!"

    "How do you know?" Tadun asked.

    "I" Yuan Shang didn't know what to say. Could he really send a human head to prove it?

    Yuan Xi was trembling on the side, he couldn¡¯t choose me, could he?
