"If you wish to pledge allegiance to the Han Dynasty, I can convey your wishes. However, for other matters, you will need to travel to the Han Dynasty yourselves and speak with the Emperor in person!"

After saying this, Chu You immediately turned and walked into the camp. The Han soldiers at the camp gate also reached out and gripped their sword hilts, blocking the way for the envoy from Himitai.

Hearing the guide's translation, the Himitei messenger became anxious and hurriedly said, "Angel, please don't misunderstand. My king's so-called 'friendly nation' is actually seeking peace. How dare we hope to be on par with the Han Dynasty?"

Upon hearing this, Chu You paused, turned around, and looked at the Himitai envoy with a playful expression.

The Himitai messenger stood there with his head bowed, looking anxious.

"please!"

After a long while, Chu You finally managed to utter the word "please".

The Han soldiers then stepped aside and allowed the envoy from Himita to enter the tent.

After entering the tent, Chu You sat in the main seat and said in a deep voice, "Since Himita has sent you to sue for peace, do you have any conditions? You should know that our Great Han does not accept just anyone."

Chu You's cold attitude at this moment was completely different from before. The Himitai envoy realized that he had just offended this arrogant Han envoy without even realizing it.

Thinking of this, the Himite messenger cautiously said, "In reply to the angel, I have brought with me a thousand pearls, two hundred pieces of jade, ten thousand taels of silver, and a thousand shi of grain as a gift."

At the same time, on behalf of the Himitai tribe, I, the King, am willing to be a vassal of the Great Han Dynasty for eternity, and to pay tribute annually, hoping to receive investiture from His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Han!

Chu You smiled and said, "It's not impossible for you to submit to my Great Han, but your king has to agree to a few conditions!"

"condition?"

The Himita messenger was taken aback upon hearing this.

How can you submit to someone, pay tribute, and then agree to their conditions?
