Liu Tan looked at the tiger talisman in the box and almost breathed his last. He really didn't expect that Zhao Po Nu could be so useless that he even lost the tiger talisman!

Although it looks like this is only half of the tiger talisman, it wouldn't have much impact even if it was taken away by someone else, but this is still too embarrassing.

Liu Tan pursed his lips, looked up and looked around, and found that even Huo Guang, who was always gentle and calm, had a gloomy face and stared at the translator and the Huns with cold eyes.

Liu Tan clenched his fists beneath his desk, but with a bright smile on his face, he said, "The Chanyu is so polite and even gave me a gift. Since that's the case, I will naturally reciprocate."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Miao Rui and said, "Go and get that golden crown."

Not long after, a young eunuch came in holding a tray with the iconic golden crown of the Xiongnu king on it.

Miao Rui took the tray from the young eunuch and placed it in front of Liu Tan. Liu Tan reached out and tossed the golden crown into the box that had held the tiger talisman. He said, "This was something I found by accident. I'm returning it to its rightful owner. Please also send a message to Wushilu Chanyu: The golden crown is precious. Please be extremely careful next time."

Miao Rui bent down, closed the box, and handed it to the translator. The translator looked at the box and then at Liu Tan, still forcing a smile: "Okay, we will definitely convey His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory's wishes."

After saying this, he retreated behind the Left Grand Commandant, and from then on the meeting seemed much more normal. The translator did not say another word during the entire process.

Liu Tan ordered the guests to leave, then stood up and left the hall. He went behind the screen and his face darkened. After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Po Nu is a piece of trash!"

He was so angry that he could have presented the golden crown to Liu Che to appease his old father. But now someone came to his door and forced him to return the golden crown. Even though Liu Tan rarely got angry, he couldn't help but want to drag Zhao Po Nu out and beat him up again.

Miao Rui watched Liu Tan's face turn red with anger, and quickly comforted him, saying, "Your Highness, please don't be angry. It's not worth it for those barbarians."

Liu Tan took a few deep breaths. He couldn't swallow this anger and wanted to turn around and drive all these people away.

At this moment, he heard footsteps. Turning around, he saw Huo Guang and waved his hand, saying, "Go and do your own thing. Just follow the plan we made."

Huo Guang said slowly, "Your Highness, don't you think that the translator is a little strange?"

Liu Tan snorted coldly, "That Zuo Da Duwei looks strange. Maybe the translator is the one who really keeps his word. Let's keep a close eye on him."

At this point, Liu Tan managed to calm down a little. He turned to look at Huo Guang with some confusion and asked, "That's not right. Why are all these envoys so young? The Xiongnu are not our northern border country."

The Northern Border Kingdom is relatively young overall due to its special circumstances. What is the reason for the Huns?

Huo Guang said, "I heard that Er Chanyu likes to promote young people because he is young."

I have heard of this Liu Tan. Wu Shilu is also called Er Chanyu because he is young, but in fact he is about the same age as Huo Guang.

Liu Tan shook his head: "He can promote someone just because he wants to? Can't the rest of the Xiongnu be contained?"

You have to know that the name Er Chanyu itself is a bit insulting, which is no different from pointing at Wu Shilu and calling him a child. Being called like this means that many Xiongnu people do not submit to him.

Huo Guang sighed, "We know too little about the Xiongnu's situation."

Liu Tan suddenly had an idea: "Wait a minute, Wu Shilu should be about the same age as the translator, right?"

Huo Guang looked at Liu Tan in surprise. "Your Highness, are you saying that the translator was Wu Shilu?"

Huo Guang's expression seemed quite amused at this. Liu Tan saw that he didn't quite believe it and felt a little uncertain himself: "Anyway, that person at least has a close relationship with Wu Shilu, otherwise who would have given him the courage to provoke him?"

Liu Tan cursed Zhao Po Nu again. Huo Guang said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Chief Justice Jiang knows what to do."

Do you really think Jiang Chong is a good person? Just now, Liu Tan could still smile, Huo Guang could still remain expressionless, but Jiang Chong... If Jiang Chong hadn't had someone holding him down, he would have rushed forward to hit them.

Next is the matter of Jiang Chong. Huo Guang believes that Jiang Chong will definitely not let these people have an easy time.

Liu Tan tilted his head and looked at Huo Guang and said, "Alright, stop wasting your time here. I'm not that inexperienced. Go do your thing, and I'll do mine."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be still angry, Huo Guang left to do his own thing.

After Liu Tan saw him leave, his face darkened and he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Call Wei Deng over to me!"

He wanted to ask what the training of the thousand elite soldiers was like and how long it would take before they could be put to use!

Wei Deng came over and said proudly: "Your Highness, we have no problem marching in step now. It has basically met your Highness's requirements!"

Liu Tan made a prompt decision: "Let's go and take a look."

Wei Deng was a little surprised. He always felt that his prince seemed a little unhappy today. He took Liu Tan with him and asked someone to notify his soldiers to get ready quickly.

Liu Tan looked over and saw that although there was still some gap with later generations, it was not easy to reach this level now.

And then I thought about it, he was comparing himself with the soldiers in the parade, so this requirement was indeed a bit high.

After Liu Tan finished reading, he turned to Wei Deng and said, "You can start practicing various running movements. Start with marching. Train like you are doing now, and keep the movement in unison!"

If Wei Deng knew what obsessive-compulsive disorder was, he would probably diagnose it for his prince.

But he didn't know, so he could only listen to whatever Liu Tan said. Although he was wondering whether this would work, his second brother said that he would never suffer any loss by following His Highness, so he could only think about it.

However, this wasn't the end of the story. Liu Tan continued, "It took so long to train such a small amount of things before. Everyone should be used to it by now, so we need to speed up and increase the training volume starting today. Please arrange the training methods I've given you first, and report the equipment and weapons you need."

At this time, Liu Tan would not tell the soldiers what to practice first and what to practice later, as he did not understand the concept. He also believed that Wei Deng knew his soldiers better than he did. Anyway, the training directions were clearly written down, so he let Wei Deng arrange them himself, and he only needed to check.

Liu Tan thought about this and added, "This is training for the soldiers as well as yourself. Being a general sometimes requires more than just fighting. Well, write up a plan and submit it to me. If you don't achieve it by the time, I'll punish you."

Weiden: ...

What happened? Why did His Highness suddenly become so strict? Is there going to be another war?

Wei Deng was a little nervous. He agreed and prepared to go back and ask his second brother during the holiday.

In any case, the soldiers under Wei Deng suddenly found that their training volume had increased a lot, and most of those who had adapted to the previous training volume could not bear it.

Wei Deng had no choice but to listen to everyone's complaints. He didn't say that it was Liu Tan who gave the order, but took on all the complaints himself.

It was not until he returned home during the holidays that he learned the whole story and was immediately furious.

So after Wei Deng returned, he increased the amount of training and almost tortured his soldiers silly.

Although Liu Tan let go, he did not ignore it at all. After several days, the negotiations with the Huns were said to be going quite smoothly. During this process, Jiang Chong made many golden remarks and made the other party speechless.

When it comes to sarcasm, how could Jiang Chong lose?

At this time, Liu Tan was no longer so angry. Although this hurdle was definitely difficult to overcome, it would not affect his mood as much as that day.

After hearing that Wei Deng had increased his training volume, he thought about it and asked someone to bring a message to Wei Deng: Those who can't persist and those who are unqualified will be eliminated directly!

He did this because he was worried that Wei Deng would waste his energy on those who were a hindrance to his team, so he wanted to train as many as he could.

When Huo Guang came in, he saw Liu Tan scribbling on the map. When he looked over, he found that he had expanded the territory of the Northern Border Kingdom to the area of ​​Langjuxu Mountain. He was both amused and confused for a moment.

Liu Tan looked up at him and said, "How about we set a small goal first?"

Huo Guang reminded him, "Your Highness, we are negotiating a trade deal with the Xiongnu."

Liu Tan waved his hand proudly and said, "It doesn't matter. We should fight when we need to and do business when we need to. It's not like we are begging the Xiongnu to do business with us."

They have the resources that the Huns need, but the Huns have many alternatives.

Huo Guang always felt that something was wrong when he heard this. Although that was what he said, when he thought about the life-and-death battle here and the happy business over there, it just didn't seem right.

He sighed and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. The peace talks have been stuck for several days. Jiang Chong doesn't dare to make a decision rashly, nor does he dare to bother Your Highness, so he asked me to come and speak."

Liu Tan was puzzled: "What do you mean by not daring to bother me? What is there to be afraid of?"

Huo Guang thought to himself that he was just afraid that you were still angry. What if you couldn't help but lead your troops to chop these Huns with weapons?

Now almost everyone knows that the elite regiments under Liu Tan are being trained to death, and if they don't perform well, they risk being eliminated, which makes everyone feel Liu Tan's anger.

For several days, no one dared to mention the word "Huns" in front of Liu Tan!

Huo Guang said, "We've agreed on a location, but we can't agree on the format. The Xiongnu want to just cordon off a random area where people can trade freely, while Jiang Chong wants to at least build an earthen city with someone to manage it."

Liu Tan looked at him with a "you're kidding me" expression: "It's just such a small matter and you're still stuck?"
