Chapter 702: Hostage candidates, choose one of two

~2 min read 376 words

"Why do you want to be a hostage at this time?"

"Is it not good for our Xiongnu eldest son and second son to be hostages?"

"Is it because our Xiongnu are weak?"

"How can this be?! Definitely can't go!"

"If you don't go, will the Yuezhi King agree?"

A group of generals were furious, not expecting that this time the Great Yuezhi envoy came to ask for hostages.

Being a hostage is a rule that has always existed.

But they didn't expect the Great Yuezhi to come and ask for hostages so suddenly.

The strong side can require the weak side to send people to be hostages.

The initial hostage was for the sake of alliance between countries, to keep the alliance and vows, and to use people as hostages.

Use people as collateral to gain mutual trust.

However, this person is not an ordinary person, either the crown prince, the heir, or a relatively important prince or son.

Such allied countries exchange hostages with each other.

Or the strong side can unilaterally ask for hostages from the weak side.

A hostage is like a reassurance. Because all forces do not trust others, sending hostages is a diplomatic strategy.

It means telling you that important people in my country are in your hands, so don't worry.

The generals discussed and glared.

Yueda was really afraid of being beaten up by this group of angry people.

He stood up and saluted Touman Chanyu slightly.

"Touman Chanyu, my King's words have been brought."

"I will go down to rest first and will return tomorrow."

"No matter who you let follow, just go back with me tomorrow."

"If no one goes back, it's fine, I will report it truthfully to my King."

After Yueda finished speaking, he glanced at Modu and Modu.

He didn't stay long and walked out directly.

The Great Yuezhi envoy left.

But the atmosphere here was almost solidified.

Looking at the gloomy Touman Chanyu, everyone stopped talking.

A hostage must be sent, otherwise, if the Yuezhi King gets angry, the Xiongnu tribal alliance cannot afford it.

But as for who should be the hostage, it depends on Touman Chanyu.

Touman's eyes kept scanning back and forth between Modu and Modu. ===== CHAPTER 704 =====
