Cao Zhang poured the wine.

Picking up the wine glass, Cao Shuo said to King Ma Han: "King, I respect you!" ”

Cao Shuo toasted, where did King Ma Han dare to accept it.

He hurriedly stood up and said to Cao Shuo: "The king of Wuzhou toasts, I really don't dare to stand it." ”

"It's the first time I've met the king, and it looks like the king should be a few years older than me." Cao Shuo asked King Ma Han: "Dare to ask the king this year?" ”

"Back to the king of Wuzhou, I have five in my thirty years of Chinese New Year's Eve." King Ma Han replied.

Cao Shuo grinned and said to him: "I am only twenty-four years old this year, nearly a round younger than the king, and this glass of wine should be honored by the king." ”

As soon as Cao Shuo said this, King Ma Han had no choice but to drink.

He then took over the wine jar from Cao Zhang's hand and poured wine for Cao Shuo in person: "It is really hard for the king of Wuzhou to come to Sanhan, I will give the king a glass." ”

After drinking another glass of wine, Cao Shuo put down his glass and asked King Ma Han, "I came to Sanhan and found something very strange. ”

King Ma Han looked at Cao Shuo in astonishment and asked, "Dare to ask what the King of Wuzhou has discovered?" ”

"I found out that Samhan still has slaves who are not even as good as cattle and horses." Cao Shuo said: "Those who control their fate can be slaughtered and abused at will, and the slaves are all skinny. With a lack of food like them, and even their lives being taken at any time, doesn't the king think that many of them will deliberately destroy tools, or excuse themselves to be lazy? ”

"It's often the case." King Ma Han replied: "Just kill it." ”

"Kill one, and there will be a second." Cao Shuo asked, "Isn't the king planning to make some changes?" ”

"Dare to ask the king of the five states, how to change?" King Ma Han asked.

"What is the most important thing to stabilize the world?" Cao Shuo didn't answer, but asked him.

King Ma Han was stunned for a moment, and asked Cao Shuo, "What does the King of Wuzhou think is the most important?" ”

"The hearts of the people." Cao Shuo said: "Only when the people want to do so can there be long-term peace and stability, doesn't the king even understand such a truth." ”

King Ma Han looked at Cao Shuo in astonishment and didn't ask anything more.

Leaning closer to him, Cao Shuo lowered his voice and said, "The king may not have heard a word, the people are not afraid of death, although the slaves are enduring being enslaved, but one day they will not be able to stand all this. Once the slaves revolted, did the king have enough soldiers and horses to suppress it? ”

Shaking his head, King Ma Han said, "I won't let that happen......"

"The king is too confident." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to him, "I can assure the king that within three months, all of Ma Han's slaves will start a rebellion. ”

"Why?" King Ma Han asked puzzled.

"Because I'll send men to stir them up." Cao Shuo grinned and said, "Now that the slaves of Benhan have land, the changes in their lives will definitely spread to Mahan. Once Mahan's slaves learned of this, how many of them were willing to continue to live a life that was inferior to pigs and dogs? ”

"When the king of Wuzhou saw me, is that just to say this?" King Ma Han said: "I have expressed my heart, and I am willing to surrender to the Han ......"

"What I want is a powerful Samhan." Cao Shuo said: "Both Ma Han and Ben Han are now weak and sick, and I don't want the king's head to be cut off by others one day after the army leaves." There is only one way to save Ma Han's life, and that is to make some changes. ”

"How to change?" Already sensing that it was not good, King Ma Han still asked.

"Free all the slaves and let them own the land." Cao Shuo said: "The existing slave owners, as landlords, collected land rent from slaves who cultivated the land. No one is allowed to kill at will, even if the landlord kills a hired farmer, he must be beheaded. ”

"This ......" King Ma Han swallowed his saliva and said to Cao Shuo: "Our three Han ancestors have been like this for generations, and if it suddenly changes, I'm afraid it will ......"

"If you can't adapt to the rules of the world's development, you should make some changes." Cao Shuo said to him: "The king goes back and thinks about it, and I am not in a hurry to withdraw." Come here tomorrow and wait for the king's reply. ”

Cao Shuo stood up and turned to walk towards the war horse.

Seeing him leave, King Ma Han looked at Kuwabara on the side.

Kuwabara has been an official in Mahan for many years, and his family also has many slaves.

Cao Shuo's proposal undoubtedly touched his interests.

Looked at by King Ma Han, Kuwabara asked, "What does the king think?" ”

"We've been like that for generations, but he wants us to change." King Ma Han said: "Once the order is issued, I'm afraid that our Ma Han will also be in chaos." ”

"Once a soldier in the army has made a war exploit, most of them are rewarded slaves." Kuwabara said: "If he had made a change, the king would have rebelled against his family." ”

"I don't want to say yes, but they're outnumbered." King Ma Han said: "Benhan didn't last a few days, how can we Ma Han get past them?" ”

Kuwabara, who had previously strongly advocated peace, was also very repulsed by Cao Shuo's suggestions after his interests were touched.

He said to King Mahan, "They are going to camp here, and we can't get them during the day, and we can't get them at night?" ”

"What are we going to do if we don't win?" King Ma Han asked.

"Behind you is Ota Castle." Kuwabara said, "If we fail to defeat them, I am willing to go to Chenhan and explain the benefits to the king of Chenhan." If he is willing to send troops, we still have a chance of holding the territory. ”

"Before, you were a strong peacemaker." King Ma Han said to Kuwabara, "How can this change your mind?" ”

"At first I didn't know he wanted to shake our roots." Kuwabara said, "If we don't have slaves, how will we live in the future?" ”

Looking at Kuwabara, King Ma Han said, "Let's talk about it when we go back to the army." ”

The two of them got on their horses and walked towards the army.

Returning to the army with Cao Zhang, Cao Shuo said on the road: "Beware of the enemy army robbing the camp tonight." ”

"They already have the intention of surrendering, can they dare to come to rob the camp?" Cao Zhang asked in astonishment.

"Bong Hyo and I were both wrong." Cao Shuo said: "You also heard King Ma Han's reply, and I also paid attention to Kuwabara's face. Earlier he came to us to surrender to us, Kuwabara must have been a faction of the Lord's peace. But when I asked them to free all the slaves and to give them the fields to be cultivated, his face was very ugly. This time I met with King Ma Han, and there must be a fight. ”

"As long as they dare to come, I can make them unable to go back." Cao Zhang said: "The eldest brother wants to give them a way to live, it depends on whether the Ma Han people want it or not." ”

"When it comes to violating interests, many people don't care about life and death." Cao Shuo smiled and said to Cao Zhang: "Attacking Ma Han, although there will be some trouble when fighting Chen Han, it is not completely without benefits. ”
