I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Liu Tan's first reaction after hearing that he had found Wushilu: "Kill him!"

At that time, Huo Guang was drinking water with a sigh of relief, and almost heard Liu Tan's words ([-]) Fei Falcon hurriedly said: "Wait!"

Liu Tan was a little dissatisfied and said, "Wait what, kill Wushilu and the world will be peaceful."

Huo Guang took a deep breath and said, "Wu Shilu appeared on his own initiative, so he must rely on something if he dares to do so."

Liu Tan raised his eyebrows: "It doesn't matter what he relies on, it doesn't matter what he relies on when someone dies. His son is still young now, and those who were in power before have been cut down by him, and the rest are all newly promoted by him. Well, once Wushilu dies, all the dragons will be left without a leader, and they will all have to mess up for a while, isn't it just right?"

Huo Guang thought about it for the same reason, he turned his head and looked at Wei Buyi: "Where is Wu Shilu now?"

Wei Buyi whispered: "The general will arrange him to go to the post house."

Liu Tan's eyes widened immediately: "He's playing around with us, and you still let him live in a post house, do you want to provide him with good food and drink?"

Huo Guang finally couldn't help getting up and walked to Liu Tan's side and put his hand on his shoulder, fearing that His Highness would rush out with his sword and chop Wushilu on impulse.

He said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, calm down, the captain must have his reasons for doing so, let's ask first before talking."

After finishing speaking, he looked up at Wei Buyi and said, "Why don't you hurry up? Do you have to wait for His Highness to urge you?"

Wei Buyi hesitated and said: "Wu Shilu said that he exchanged the lives of the Han people for his return to the Huns."

Liu Tan: ...

Looking at Liu Tan's speechless state, Huo Guang knew that Wu Shilu had taken advantage of his Highness' weakness.

If it was exchanged for gold, silver, treasures or land, Liu Tan would definitely not exchange it, and he did not lack these things.

But if it takes human life, then Liu Tan will think about it.

Liu Tan took a deep breath: "How many people are there? What are their identities?"

Wei Buyi said: "There are young ladies who were looted before, and there are also prisoners who were defeated and captured. He said that he can exchange the lives of thousands of people."

Huo Guang withdrew his hand, slowly sat back in his seat, and for a while was in the hall⒂Xing Wei Wen prayed

Jiang Chong looked at Liu Tan with his head bowed in thought and couldn't help but want to persuade him, but Huo Guang who was beside him stopped him.

Jiang Chong couldn't help but whispered to Huo Guang: "It can't be changed!"

Huo Guang said firmly: "Let His Highness choose for himself!"

Once this kind of thing happens, there may be a second time. They have countless reasons to persuade Liu Tan to kill him regardless of Wu Shilu's proposal, but they also know that Liu Tan must think clearly about this truth. He felt reasonable and made this decision, but that decision was against his heart.

In the future, the more he thinks about it, the more he will regret it. This kind of regret will always accompany him and may make him indecisive.

Only when his own mind is converted.

Liu Tan held the white jade paperweight tightly in his hand, and turned his head to look out the window. At this time, the northern border country has gradually begun to enter winter. When the wind blows, the dead leaves are scattered everywhere. No matter how warm the sun is, it makes people feel a little bad .

After a while, Liu Tan gritted his teeth and said, "No change!"

After saying these two words, he seemed to be discouraged, and he leaned against the back of the table and stopped talking.

He knew the decision he had made. If he exchanged Wushilu for those more than 1000 people, some people would indeed praise others for their benevolence, but what would be the use?If Wushilu is put back, the big man in the future may die more than ten thousand people. If nothing else, let’s say that this time Wushilu went south to plunder and kill more than a thousand people. Yan’s defense is weak, and the Xiongnu Now that I have found an opportunity, if there is a first time, there will be a second time!

It is unrealistic to kill a Wushilu and then take advantage of the Huns' civil strife to attack them. It is not realistic to destroy the Huns, but at least it can keep the border peace for the Han Dynasty within five years.

What's more, even if Wushilu is dead, those Huns may not really kill those people. At that time, everyone will be anxious to fight for power, so why would they have the intention to kill those people?

Wei Buyi hesitated after hearing this, and glanced at Liu Tan again. Liu Tan raised his head and said in a deep voice, "⑻ See what I said? Now take someone to the posthouse to arrest Wushilu, and put this person in the prison, oh, Don’t tell him that you want to take his life, ask him about the Xiongnu, and tell him that if he knows everything, it’s not impossible to spare his life.”

Wei Buyi was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

Huo Guang couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Your Highness is lying to him! No matter what, Wu Shilu will die, let's see if we can squeeze something out of him?"

Only then did Wei Buyi understand what Liu Tan meant, and immediately went to arrest Wushilu.

The others looked at each other at this time and decided to leave first. At this time, it may be necessary for their highness to calm down.

Liu Tan suddenly said, "The Prime Minister stay here for a while."

Huo Guang sat firmly and took a look at Liu Tan: "⒋盩铁把!

After the others left, Liu Tancai lied to Qiaofen on the desk and said, "It seems that such a decision is not difficult to make."

The lives of 1000 people do sound very precious, but Liu Tan has a feeling of... unreal, as if the decision he just made was not made. go with him ⒐ ulterior motives

Huo Guang said: "Ci doesn't command troops. Although Your Highness doesn't need to lead troops, wars will be rare in the northern border country, so that's good."

Liu Tan was silent for a long while and said with some disinterest, "That's it."

Huo Guang⑺ prayed, although Liu Tan consciously followed him ⑹, but in fact the influence was still there.

At least tonight, Liu Tan had a rare insomnia.

He ⒕醯李谝智⒕醯气, even if he couldn't sleep, his mind was so messed up that he didn't know what he was thinking.

Occasionally, a thought would pop up: I don't know if we can use Wushilu's corpse to exchange those people back.

But after this idea came out, he laughed himself, it was obviously impossible.

The Huns did not pay attention to death as much as life like the Han people. Those people might not even care about the life and death of Wushilu, let alone the corpse of Wushilu.

He turned over and sighed, if only Ah Xuan was here.

Because of insomnia, Liu Tan rarely attended the Xiaochao meeting with two dark circles under his eyes the next day. Fortunately, it was a Xiaochao meeting, otherwise he might not be in this state.

The northern border country is also busy with affairs. After dealing with a lot of things early in the morning, Liu Tan just wanted to go back to catch up on sleep when he heard Wei Buyi say: "Your Highness, Wushilu..."

Just as Liu Tan was about to wave for everyone to get off work, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his head when he heard these three words: "What's wrong with him?"

Wei Buyi said: "He recruited."

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment: "He actually believed it?"

Wei Buyi smiled wryly: "But the trick is not about the Xiongnu, but about the 360 ​​countries in the Western Regions."

Liu Tan was stunned after hearing this: "360 countries? Who did he lie to?"

There are many countries in the Western Regions. This is something everyone knows, but 360 countries are exaggerated!

Wei Buyi said: "The things he explained ⒂ heart knocking. He said that those small countries can't pose a threat to His Highness, so he picked up the main ones."

While talking, Wei Buyi presented a stack of confessions, all of which were Wu Shilu's confessions.

Liu Tan was a little impatient looking at these papers: "Kill it, it seems that he still has feelings for the Huns, don't talk about it, don't keep it, by the way, just cut it in half and abandon the market, and tell everyone by the way This is Xiongnu Shanyu, I think everyone should be very happy."

Wei Buyi responded, and Liu Tan looked at the confessions for a while and said, "This is in duplicate, one is for Li Xi, and the other is for King Wusun."

Li Xi should be more in need of this information. After all, he is still guarding the city outside the pass, and needs to deal with those countries in the Western Regions from time to time.

As for Lu Xuan, Liu Tan didn't know if there was something he didn't know about it, anyway, I'll give it to him first.

Huo Guang said: "It's best to send a copy to Chang'an and keep it on file."

Dahan didn't know much about the countries in the Western Regions, so there were very few materials. Although it was the situation of other countries, it was also needed when sorting out historical records.

Liu Tan nodded in agreement with Huo Guang's opinion, and then waved everyone to get off work. Then he waited for the news in the palace, and by the way, he wondered whether to attack the Xiongnu or take a taxi to Shiguo according to the original plan.

After thinking about it, he thought it would be better to go and fight the Huns, to drive the Huns farther away, and then go to Cheshiguo again.

Anyway, it was not because of how powerful the Che Shi country was that it was unable to defeat the Che Shi country before, but because the Huns were in the way. As long as the Huns were repelled, wouldn't he have the final say on how to toss the Che Shi country?

The only thing that needs to be done is to explain to Liu Che why he turned around and beat the Xiongnu when he said that he was a taxi driver.

By the way, I have to call Huo Guang to re-make the plan. Even if the Xiongnu has the strength of ⒂Xin Songji β, the original set of troops to go to the Cheshi Kingdom may not be enough, so the corresponding armaments must be increased.

Huo Guang was lucky about this. Pao Dan obviously was more cost-effective to fight the Xiongnu.

He calculated and said: "You can fight, you can afford it!"

Liu Tan looked at him and said with a smile: "The Prime Minister of the State is full of confidence now."

I think what Huo Guang was most worried about at the beginning was that he would fight the Xiongnu or the Western Regions because of a disagreement, because there were not enough people and supplies, but now Huo Guang seems much calmer.

Huo Guang smiled slightly: "A good harvest will naturally give you confidence, but, just this time, we can't fight again in the short term."

Liu Tan just wanted to talk about Da Ye⒂Xian Shi Mu Xing's notification to Wei Buyi asking for an interview, but he was silent for a moment and said, "I have a hunch... something might go wrong."

Huo Guang was also silent for a while and said, "Let's listen."

After Wei Buyi came in, he cupped his hands to Liu Tan and said, "Your Highness, Wushilu said that if 1000 people are not enough, he will add two more people."

Liu Tan sneered and said, "Is he negotiating the price at the vegetable market? There are still zeros and zeros? No change, no change! No change, no change!"

Wei Buyi said: "However, the two people he said to add are Zhang Qian, Marquis of Bowang, and the other is Su Wu, a Zhonglang general who was envoy to the Huns ten years ago."

Liu Tan: Day!
