Chapter 1532 The lion opens its mouth

Ask Nanlou to sit down, Cao Shuo's face showed a hint of hesitation.

Seeing his expression, Nanlou felt even more unsure.

Looking at Cao Shu, although Nanlou did not ask questions, he was very nervous.

"I'm not hiding the king." Cao Shuo sighed and said, "Actually, I also want to save some of the Wuhuan, but when the army went to war, in order not to delay too long, my father ordered a lot of baggage to be left behind. These baggages are worth at least 20,000 cows and 50,000 sheep."

Cao Shu was obviously a lion and his mouth was slightly opened. After a while, he swallowed and said, "Young Master, there are really too many 20,000 cows and 50,000 sheep..."

"Don't say much, the king." Cao Shuo said: "When I arrived in Youzhou, I bought food and grass in various places. In short, these food and grass are worth less than 10,000 horses."

Nanlou's eyes widened, and he asked Cao Shu in surprise: "Apart from these, I don't know what else to want?"

"In the past, many people in Hebei moved to Wuhuan to escape the war." Cao Shuo said: "Of course these people are going to Youzhou."

"That's it." This condition is difficult to accept.

Although the people of the Central Plains came to western Liaoning, they had to share the food from the Wuhuan people, which also caused considerable trouble to the Wuhuan people.

Sometimes, for the sake of their own interests, the migrant people in the Central Plains and the Wuhuan people will fight each other.

It is not a good thing for Wuhuan to send these people away.

"Don't agree so readily," Cao Shu said: "Before, Wuhuan entered Youzhou, and our army came to western Liaoning, the Cao family lost a lot of people. Just these people moved back to Youzhou, which could not solve the population decline. We still need 50,000 Wuhuan women to go to Youzhou to help the people in the Central Plains to raise their descendants."

"Ah?" Nanlou said in surprise: "Fifty thousand Wuhuan women..."

"If the king thinks it's too little and gives us 100,000, I don't mind." Cao Shu said: "These are just the basics, and the others will be mentioned again. If you refuse to agree, or give them less than a sheep or a person, the peace talks may not be progressing."

"The young master wants too much..." Nanlou said: "In this way, our Wuhuan will be emptied..."

"The Wuhuan people make a living by nomadic life, and they can still lose cattle, sheep and horses?" Cao Shu frowned and said to Nanlou with a cold face: "How much hardship should our soldiers go on the road to expedition to Wuhuan? It should not be too much for each of them to bring back a sheep!"

The Cao army had a total of 200,000 people, and no one brought back a sheep, which was 200,000 sheep.

Nanlou was shocked and quickly said to Cao Shu: "Young Master's request is indeed impossible."

"I also know that it's a bit difficult for you." Cao Shuo changed his deputy tone and said, "It's fine if you don't bring back a sheep to the soldiers. It's always possible for everyone to take a hound away."

"There are fewer hounds than sheep." Nanlou said with a bitter face: "The young master can meet several requirements before, but this requirement is really impossible to meet..."

"There are no sheep, nor are there any hounds." Cao Shu's face changed: "How do you want my father and I to explain to the soldiers?"

"Can you change something else?" Nanlou said tentatively: "Let's give more cattle, sheep and women..."

"Where is the horse?" Cao Shuo said: "I need to make up some horses so that I can comfort the soldiers."

"How much does a young master want?" asked Nanlou.

"Add 10,000 more women." Cao Shuo said: "30,000 cows and 60,000 sheep. Two thousand more horses."

When he found out that Nanlou was still hesitant, Cao Shu said, "If the king still refuses, we have nothing to say."

"Young Master, don't..." Nanlou said: "I'll go back and discuss with the Great Shanyu, there should be something to discuss..."

"There is nothing to talk about the benefits we want." Cao Shuo said: "Although my father issued a military order, if Wuhuan refused to give what we wanted, once the soldiers mutiny, even my father could not suppress them."

Cao Shu's words are undoubtedly threatening.

Nanlou swallowed his saliva, stood up and said to Cao Shu, "I'll go to see the Great Shanyu first, and then come and reply to the young master after I've agreed."

The negotiations were not very smooth, so Cao Shu stood up and generously delivered the Nanlou to the door.

After seeing Cao Shuo, I didn't dare to delay for a while, so I hurried to Lou's residence.

As soon as he entered the door, the Lou team couldn't wait to ask, "What? What did Cao Zirong say?"

"We want too much, but we can't give it to us." Nanlou told Lou Ban all the things Cao Shu asked for.

After being stunned for a long time, Lou Ban asked, "Do they still want women?"

"Yes!" said Nanlou: "He wants 60,000 women."

"With 60,000 women missing, who will give birth to children in the future?" Lou Ban said: "This condition must not be agreed..."

"The Great Shanyu!" said Nanlou: "If we don't agree, we Wuhuan will probably lose even the men."

"Didn't the Cao family agree? I won't make things difficult for the Wuhuan people?" Lou Ban asked in surprise.

"The Cao family has agreed and the military order has been issued." Nanlou said: "But Cao Zirong also said that if we don't agree, the soldiers of the Cao family may mutiny. Once the Cao army mutiny, we Wuhuan people will suffer. You must know that there are more than 60,000 women in Liucheng."

"In other words, we must agree?" Lou Ban asked.

"Yes." Nanlou replied: "From Cao Zirong's attitude of speaking, we must agree."

Sitting down dejectedly, Lou Ban said, "Sixty thousand women, and countless cattle, sheep and horses..."

"Who wants us to defeat?" said Nanlou: "The lives of those who have been defeated are in the hands of others, let alone cattle, sheep and women."

"Can he not be less?" Looking up at Nanlou, Lou Ban said, "This is too... too many..."

"I want him to ask less, but Cao Zirong doesn't let go." Nanlou said: "Depending on his attitude, the more we think less, the more he wants, the more he wants. It's better to give it to him now."

"Do I want me to talk to him in person?" Lou Ban asked.

"It would be better not to go to the Great Chanyu." Nanlou said: "We have heard of Cao Zirong's reputation. He has never got what he wants by any means. Even if the Great Chanyu goes, he will probably be merciless, which will destroy the momentum of our Wuhuan."

Unlou's answer made Lou's class completely desperate.

He did not hate Cao Shu at this time, but instead cursed Tadun thousands of times in his heart.

If Tadun hadn't caused trouble for the Wuhuan people, how could he provoke the Cao family?
