In ancient times, Huaxia said that outside our tribe, the Western Rong, the Eastern Yi, the Southern Barbarians, and the Northern Di were all over the world.

The Northern Di invaded the Central Plains a lot and bordered the Liang Kingdom. This is also the reason why Xiao Yuan said that King Liang had made contributions after destroying Liang.

Because King Liang once pacified the Northern Desert and eliminated the evil spirits, he laid the foundation for the current territory of the empire and protected the northern gateway of China.

Many historians have recorded this and are not stingy with writing. Even if they are opponents, Xiao Yuan never denies the achievements of King Liang.

At the beginning, the Northern Di side was defeated by Liang Kingdom, so from the bottom of his heart, he only surrendered to King Liang, but with the gradual rise of Qin Kingdom to the current unified north, the Northern Di side had to re-examine the strength of the Qin army.

This envoy sent an envoy to congratulate him, but in fact he wanted to express his sense of peace. Because the ghost tribe invaded in the previous period, Beidi had wanted to take advantage of the situation, but was beaten to the point of falling into the water. This evil must be resolved, otherwise the Northern Di Shanyu would not be sure of the attitude of the King of Qin toward his own side in the future.

As the King of Qin, Xiao Yuan treated Gentile envoys, regardless of whether the two sides had a feud, on the surface, he must have done some great etiquette.

At the feast, the wine and food were just served. The Northern Di envoy Baron had already stood up, held his chest with his hands, bent down and bowed respectfully to Xiao Yuan, and said:

"Report to His Highness, the Great Shanyu heard that the birth of the princess of your country was specially ordered to present to represent our country to send three thousand cattle and sheep and hundreds of jars of fine wine to express his congratulations."

As a diplomat, he has a very fluent Chinese language. After saying that, he took out a letter from his arms, bent down slightly, and handed it with both hands: "This is a gift list, please check it out."

At the sign of a gesture, a servant stepped forward, took the gift list politely, and handed it to Xiao Yuan respectfully.

The latter opened it, glanced slightly, and smiled on his face, and said cheerfully: "Thank you, I have traveled thousands of miles to give you this generous gift."

"Where are these, we should do." Baron's tone was very polite: "I just hope to resolve the past grudges with Qin in the future and live in harmony."

"Of course, Shan'en Shanyu is so thoughtful, so I am not an rude person." Xiao Yuan first agreed on his face, then smiled and stretched out his hand, "Empress, please take your seat."

"Thank you Your Highness, King Qin." Baron gave a deep salute again, and then returned to his seat.

Regarding the sudden visit of the Northern Di envoy, the Qin ministers whispered to each other. Xiao Yuan did not have much surprise, but picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, this feast is so happy. Don't be restrained. As long as you drink happily, the envoy should raise your glass and drink the wine."

"Ah, please, Your Highness." Baron hurriedly held up his wine glass with both hands.

"Respect the King together—" People also took them up one after another.

The atmosphere of this banquet was still very lively, and the laughter and joy were heard all the time.

After the banquet, Xiao Yuan sent Baron to the inn to stay, and there was no negligence in the etiquette.

The next day, Baron entered the court hall and once again told Xiao Yuan about the friendship between the two sides, and focused on the border between Beidi and Qin, hoping that their people could shed sheep and herd horses on the Berqin grassland and no longer be hit by the Qin army's military.

This Beerqin grassland is at the northern junction of Beidi and Liangdi. It is said that it is Qin's land, but it is not considered to be Beidi territory, but it is just a grassland with unknown boundaries. Once Beidi moves on a large scale here, it will definitely be regarded as an enemy by the Qin army.

After he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan first pondered for a moment, and then said, "I have known what the envoy said. Since Shane Shanyu is willing to establish friendship, the two sides can negotiate on this matter in a friendly manner, but it is of great importance. I still need to consider it. I will reply to the envoy tomorrow. What do you think?"

His tone was quite polite. When Baron heard this, he had nothing to say. He immediately bowed and said, "Okay, then the foreign envoy will not disturb Your Highness, and he will leave first."

"Please." Xiao Yuan also stretched out his hand politely.

After leaving, Li Zhengfang was the first to stand out and said, "King, Beidi is a foreign tribe. Today, he has made a friendly move on the birthday of the princess, but he is not of my tribe, and his heart will be different."

As soon as he finished speaking, another minister said, "That's right, for many years, Beidi wanted to enter the north of the empire, and his aspiration to invade has never diminished. The reason for this is that our Qin State is too powerful and he has to do it. I still don't know what their minds are going on!"

Qin's policy discussions have never been one-sided.

Yan Ming, Minister of Rites, immediately stood up and said, "Although Beidi is a foreign tribe, from this point of view, the intention of seeking peace is still very obvious. Moreover, the king has already received other people's gifts and is unreasonable to use troops."

Xiao Yuan was a little embarrassed when he said this. Yes, everyone has sent gifts to congratulate him. It would be too unreasonable to hit him again.

Then, Shangguan Wenruo stood up and said, "Western Rong and Northern Di have always been a hidden danger to our Great Qin. When the king restored the city to twelve miles and opened up a thousand miles, he retreated to the Western Rong and protected the Qin territory. However, the Western Rong still did not give up. We still need to guard Qin Pass and follow the final analysis. Both sides have been in a state of hostility."

"When now, since Beidi took the initiative to show his favor, why should he keep it away? Why not take this opportunity to eliminate the troubles in the North first?"

"The king should focus on the unity of mountains and rivers, and wait for the whole world to be unified. It will not be too late for these small tribes of foreign countries to turn around and clean up one by one."

After he said that, Jia You also agreed, "I am in charge of the Western Rong and Beidi, just like a kitten scratching his claws, it cannot kill his life, but it can scratch some blood marks. It is the best way to stabilize them first and let them not make trouble."

"Well..." Xiao Yuan nodded slowly and pondered slightly.

Seeing this, Liu Yuzhi stepped out and said: "I agree with the opinions of Lord Shangguan and Lord Jia. The Berqin grassland is irrelevant, so it is not a big deal to make the Beidi sheep and horses. In addition, the king can also make a request to Beidi and a request for trade between the two countries on the borders."

"Oh?" Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up.

Liu Yuzhi continued: "The Northern Di is a nomadic people. Their war horses are tall and fat like the Western Rong, and are the best cavalry. We can exchange silk, brocade, rouge and other items for their cattle, sheep and horses. This matter is mutually beneficial to the two countries. As long as the king mentions it, Shan Shanyu will definitely agree happily."

After hearing him, Xiao Yuan immediately made a decision, but he looked around for a while and asked symbolically: "What do you think?"

"I'm asking for advice." Liu Changqing stood up.

Jiang Yi also said, "I will also discuss it."

"I'm asking..."

A good strategy will naturally receive support from many people, and many ministers have left the list.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan decided to accept the peace talks from Beidi and proposed a trade exchange between border materials.
