The night wind was gusting, and tens of thousands of people gathered in the Han army camp, Fu Quan looked at the barbarian army opposite and pondered, and finally he made a decision.

Fu Quan asked Wang Mou beside him: "Now that the leader of the barbarians has the will to live and die, does Mr. have a clever plan to subdue this person?" ”

After hearing this, Wang Mou was in a straight shape, his face was solemn, and he saluted Fuquan and said, "Please Zhonglang give an order, and Ling Mou will go to persuade this person." ”

After saying a word, Fu Quan was shocked, how could he let Wang Mou be in danger, at this time, the opposite side was already dead and dead, if he couldn't be persuaded to break the net with the Han army, and start killing, then he had just met for a short time, wouldn't the strategist with good ability worry about his life? Fu Quan would never look at Wang Mou's death, and hurriedly stopped: "Sir, if there is an accident here, I am afraid that the blessings and disasters will be unknown, how can I be easily persuaded to surrender?" ”

"Don't persuade Zhonglang, my mind has been decided, don't stop each other!" After speaking, Wang Mou squeezed away the Han soldiers in front of him, and went straight to the barbarian camp, Fu Quan wanted to stop but did not act, what if he stopped, if the barbarian had the will to die, then how could he, the person who was going to persuade the barbarians, not have the will to die? can only order his subordinates to protect Wang Mou.

In the dark night, Wang Mou's departing figure walked into the barbarian army array with a resolute and resolute appearance under the illumination of torches and moonlight.

"Who's coming?" The two barbarians in front saw that a young man who looked like a scribe came from the Han army, and hurriedly stepped forward with weapons in his hand and shouted, not caring at all about the Han army with bows and crossbows facing them around, they had no doubt that if they did something to this young man, the bows and crossbows of the Han army around them would shoot at them. At this time, the distance between the two sides is very close, only a few dozen steps, and this distance is completely possible for elite crossbowmen to achieve accurate strikes on the target when they are prepared.

"Shu idler, I came to meet the leader of the barbarian army." Wang Mou was not afraid of the weapons in the hands of the barbarians at all, introduced himself with a smile, and said the intention of this trip.

Gong Su was also puzzled when he saw a young man coming from the Han army opposite, but he claimed to be a barbarian hermit, and he had a very good impression of Wang's Confucian robe, coupled with Wang Mou's natural appearance and demeanor, which made him even more fond of it. Gong Su thought about it for a while, then let him go, and then saluted Wang Mou with Han etiquette: "I don't know who Mr. is?" What do you mean by seeing me? ”

Seeing that the barbarian leader on the opposite side knew the etiquette of the Han people so well, Wang Mou was even more surprised in his heart, and secretly said that this person was not simple, and he bowed easily and naturally, and he didn't care about the danger of his life at this time, which made people secretly admire his courage. I saw Wang Mou say leisurely: "Yu Shanye's vulgar person, Hanjia Wang Yuantai has also seen the leader. ”

When the words fell, Gong Su was shocked: "Could it be that Wang Mou Wang Yuan Taihu?" Then he felt rude, and hurriedly saluted back: "Gong Su has seen Gao Ming, but I don't know what Gao Ming wants to do when he comes from Shu County?" Although he was born in Langzhong, he studied scriptures with a hermit since he was a child, and he longed for the world's famous people. Wang Mou has a great reputation in Shu County, he is famous when he is young, he also often hears his name, and he has been friends for a long time, and now Gong Su heard Wang Mou's reputation, and it is not surprising that he has this reaction.

"Fu Yulin was ordered to quell the rebellion, and ordered the counties of Yizhou to prepare money and grain soldiers, not just a small official of Shu County, but fortunately he was too ordered to escort money and grain soldiers."

"It's rude, please forgive me, now that the two armies are fighting, Mr. Su Buyi suffers from the soldiers, Gao Ming, please leave." After Gong Su finished speaking, he then said to the left and right: "Come on, send ......"

"Slowly, General Gong listened to my words, since Emperor Taizu Gao, the barbarians have been Han people, the world has received the emperor's grace, and now the army is in rebellion, it is really a helpless move, now the barbarians have no way to retreat, only to surrender and live, the general has virtue and righteousness, how can he sit and watch the two armies kill each other?" Wang Mou saw that this Gong Su didn't seem to have any intention of talking to him at all, and knew in his heart that the barbarian leader already knew that he was here to persuade him to surrender, and deliberately didn't want to negotiate with him, so he sent someone to send him away. But he had a plan for this trip, and if he didn't persuade the barbarians, he wouldn't leave, the man was born between heaven and earth, but he wanted to be worthy of his heart, so he immediately interrupted Gong Su's words, and regardless of his face, he directly said all the words in his heart.

His words were interrupted, Gong Su had understood that his thoughts were interrupted by Wang Mou, and after listening to his words, Gong Su replied: "Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, the Han Dynasty has no way, the harsh government continues, the chief officials and township pavilions are more important, and the servants are more than slaves. Our people marry wives and sell children for this reason, self-mutilation abounds, our people only get together, determined to rebel against the Han, not to seek Chinese artifacts, in order to misbehave, only for the survival of intermittent rebellion. The number of days has changed, the artifact is easier, and it belongs to the virtuous people, this is the principle of nature, the Han Dynasty has no way to lose morality, our people only raise the ears of the soldiers, how can there be any other way? ”

Gong Su's words are very clear, because of the Han Dynasty's more and more taxes, it is very heavy, their people can no longer afford it, sell their wives and children to pay too many taxes, and some even directly self-mutilate themselves to escape the more endowment, which is very different from what their ancestors promised Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, can they not rebel?

It is also the forced labor levied on the people in the Han Dynasty, which is equivalent to a kind of substitute service tax after the Eastern Han Dynasty, and one person can pay 300 yuan a year, which does not seem to be much, but don't forget that this is only handed over to the central government, and the local exploitation is not counted, and this money is actually only 40 yuan a year for a barbarian. This is also the drawbacks of the Eastern Han Dynasty since the establishment of the country, since the Western Han Dynasty was abolished after the uniform of the Qianling, the local control of the Han Dynasty declined sharply, and the local officials were mostly controlled by the powerful families, and the local officials were mostly selected from them.

If these wealthy families have good conduct and integrity, if not, then the pain of the local people suffering from excessive taxes can be imagined, and all the taxes that the central government has and do not have will be apportioned to the people.

After all, before the emperor opened the Xidi to regularize the purchase and sale of officials, there were many people who sold officials, and it didn't matter if they had a good family background to spend money to buy officials, but those who had a bad family background or were very greedy themselves would of course be exploited after getting the official position. Coupled with the Hundred Years War of Han and Qiang, the treasury had already been emptied when Emperor Huan, and it was inevitable to increase taxes and taxes......

However, Gong Su's words made Wang Mou grasp the handle, because his words were all immoral and unscrupulous in the Han Dynasty, and the harsh government led to rebellion. The previous imperial court did not know the reason, and sent troops to conscript, which led to the current situation. Today, the imperial court selects good members, in order to seek to be with the barbarians, the former Han dynasty opened the country, the Qiang people invaded Shu, and it is more than the work of the banyu, how can the Han family lightly change the faith of the ancestors, and hope that the king will read the century-old love of the Han barbarians, and lift the military disaster, otherwise the living beings have an urgent need to hang upside down, and the king's heart is at peace? ”
