(Thank you ___ will not be the brother and too stupid your brother for the tip, hehe.) Liu Feng's conditions are indeed very tempting.

He promised Shamoko that if Shamoke could raise an army to help him capture Wuling, he would divide a number of counties from the upper reaches of Yuanshui, where the Wuxi people lived, and establish a new county. In the new county, the power of Shamoke and the commanders of the various ministries will be recognized, and the commanders of the various ministries will be hired from the county level and down to serve on the spot, so as to achieve the autonomy of the people of the river as much as possible.

In addition, the leaders of the Wuxi clan from Shamoke down can all go to Changsha and enter Liu Feng's Zhennan General's Mansion to serve.

Liu Feng's conditions did not seem to be much tempting for the Han officials, but for these barbarians who had lived in Wuling since the Qin Dynasty, it was an unprecedented gift.

Because Chu is located in a remote area, since ancient times, there are many barbarian tribes, since the Han Dynasty, the imperial court has repeatedly conquered, only because the Wuling area is mountainous, the terrain is treacherous, so although this kind of conquest has lasted for hundreds of years, but the Wuxi barbarians are still tenaciously rooted here.

Although the Wuxi barbarians were strong, due to their backward production capacity, their soldiers and armor were not as good as the official army, and the number was scarce after all, so under the repeated blows of the official army, they had to choose to surrender to the country, and they rebelled against the country again only under the oppression of rampant conquest and tyranny.

Moreover, the Wuxi barbarians do not practice etiquette and religion, and have always been despised by the government, so although many Qu Marshal have great appeal in Wuling, they still cannot be requisitioned and appointed by the government.

Liu Feng's conditions were tantamount to changing the policy of the previous rulers towards the Wuxi barbarians, both politically and economically.

When the country is strong, it is understandable to adopt a high-pressure policy against these alien races, but at present, the world is in chaos, and things should be in power, for the Wuxi barbarians, a force with great potential, Liu Feng naturally has to make appropriate adaptations and use them for his own use.

In the past, Sun Quan had to devote a lot of energy to deal with the Shanyue problem within Eastern Wu, so it had an immeasurable impact on his northward movement to fight for the world.

The lesson of the "rear car", Liu Feng naturally cannot ignore it.

"Wang, I think the conditions offered by General Liu are feasible, let's go against it."

"The Han people have always been cunning and repetitive, and we can't be gullible."

"With Liu Ba as a guarantee, that General Liu should not be untrustworthy."

"Liu Ba is also Han and can't be trusted."

The elders and tribal leaders had their own opinions, some eager to try, some suspicious, and they couldn't argue for a while.

Seeing this, Chen Zhen said: "King, my General Liu will do what he says, and he will never regret it after the matter is completed, besides, this is also a rare opportunity for the king and the Wuxi clan, and I hope the king will think twice." ”

Samoko on the tiger skin seat had been silent, and under the light of the fire, his angular face was full of complicated expressions.

His people are obviously well-fed and clothed, and he has won the hearts of the people, if there is no accident, he can be his king of Wuxi with peace of mind until he dies of old age.

But why, there is still a kind of unwillingness in his heart, and even he himself can't understand why.

Chen Zhen's arrival made Shamoke suddenly understand that the unwillingness in his heart was because he wanted to win the dignity that the Wuxi people had never had, and he Shamoke would become the greatest tribal king in all generations.

At this moment, his ambition suddenly rose, Shamoke raised his eyebrows, and said resolutely: "It's okay for General Liu to let me raise troops, but in addition to the conditions just now, he has to promise me one thing." As long as he is willing to agree, I, the Wuxi tribe, should go to Tangtao for him, and if he doesn't agree, this deal will be stopped. ”

Chen Zhen heard hopeful, his spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "What else does the king want, but please tell me." ”

"I, Shamoke, want to marry your General Liu as brothers with different surnames!"

……………… Linxiang.

Outside the west gate, a caravan walked slowly, and at the front of the team, Liu Feng, who was dressed in regular clothes and wearing thin armor, and Pang Tong Liu Ba walked side by side.

At this time, the east is white, and the sun is about to rise, and on the avenue leading to the wharf, there are few people, except for this team of people, there are few other passers-by.

"My lord, that Shamoko is just a barbarian after all, do you really want to risk your rebellion with him?" Liu Ba's expression was a little sullen, obviously he was opposed to Liu Feng's decision.

Liu Feng was indifferent, nodded and said: "Wuxi Barbarian is a force that cannot be ignored, if we want to mobilize Guan Yu's main force to leave Nanjun, we have to use this group of barbarians, this risk is worth taking." ”

"It's not worth taking the risk, but it has to be risked, Guan Yu is in Jiangling, no matter how much we plan, it won't help, and diverting the tiger from the mountain is our only chance to succeed."

Pang Tong on the other side was resolute in his words, and there was a kind of ruthlessness that did not advance or retreat.

Liu Ba's expression was displeased, and he looked at Pang Tongyi's eyes, "Shi Yuan, having said that, have you ever thought that if the barbarians are untrustworthy and secretly collude with Guan Yu to lure the lord to go deep into the enemy territory, if the lord has three longs and two shorts, wouldn't it be a big deal." ”

Liu Ba's concerns are not unreasonable, in fact, this is also what Liu Feng is worried about, because the place designated by Nashamoke to join the alliance is near Yuanling in the southwest of Wuling, which is not only in Wuling, but also in the upper reaches of Yuanshui, and Guan Yu's army in Linyuan will go south by Yuanshui, and it will arrive in less than two days.

Such a meeting place, if it is really as Liu Ba said, Guan Yu's army has time to mobilize troops and horses, arrange a net near Yuanling, and wait for Liu Feng to throw himself into the net.

Pang Tong stroked his short beard, smiled in confidence, and then took out a bag from his arms and handed it to Liu Feng, "Zichu's worry, Tong has already thought of a precautionary strategy for the lord, and after the lord arrives in Anhua, he will naturally know what to do when he opens this bag." ”

It turned out that Pang Tong had been prepared, and the worries in Liu Feng's heart immediately disappeared.

"With Mr.'s clever plan, I will naturally have peace of mind on this trip." Liu Bao was pleased, put the bag into his arms, and then arched his hand: "The affairs of the family, there are two people who have a lot to worry about, and I will definitely return within ten days." ”

After that, he turned his horse and walked quickly, and behind him, led by Chen Zhi, more than 100 elite soldiers dressed as servants, all followed.

Pang Tong stood on his horse, watching Liu Feng go away, his expression was as calm as water, and he waved goodbye to the departed.

Liu Ba beside him, his brows were still tight.

In the early morning of the same day, after Liu Feng left Linxiang, he first went to Yiyang west of Xiangshui by water, and then went south along the cargo water, and two days later, arrived in Anhua.

Soon after entering the territory of Wuling County, it turned back to the west and walked a land route of more than 100 miles to reach Yuanling County on the east bank of Yuanshui, which was also the place of the alliance previously designated by Shamoke.

After Liu Fengxing arrived in Anhua, he did not continue to go south according to the pre-agreed route, but stayed here, and opened the bag according to Pang Tong's instructions.

When he saw the strategy hidden in the bag, Liu Feng smiled, and according to Pang Tong's strategy, he sent someone to inform Chen Zhen of the new alliance.

At this time, Chen Zhen was following Shamoke's side, under the protection of more than 200 Wuxi barbarian soldiers, heading north along the Yuanshui River, on the way to Yuanling.

That night, after camping on the bank of Yuanshui, Chen Zhen conveyed to Shamoke in the leather tent that Liu Feng was temporarily preparing to change the plan of the alliance.

"The king, my general has now arrived in Anhua County, on the border of Wuling, and originally planned to go deep into the enemy territory to meet with the king, but it is a little inconvenient for the time being, so my general wants to change the location of the alliance to Anhua, and I hope the king will forgive me."

When Shamoke heard this, his angular face suddenly showed dissatisfaction, and he shouted: "Anhua? Didn't you say that you would meet the alliance in Yuanling, no matter how you say it, it will change, and you won't talk about credit at all. ”

Chen Zhen looked embarrassed and sighed: "I really can't blame my general for this, in fact, when my general was in Linxiang, he accidentally contracted the wind cold, but in order to show his sincerity to the king, he still ignored the obstruction of his subordinates and rushed to join the king with his sick body." It's just that when I went to Anhua, my body became more and more uncomfortable, and I could barely hold on by water, but if I went to Yuanling by land, I couldn't stand the bumps along the way, and I hope the king can understand. ”

Although Shamoke is a barbarian and does not understand poetry, calligraphy and etiquette, this does not mean that he does not understand human feelings, and when he hears Liu Feng's situation, he has the intention of giving in his heart.

Chen Zhen took the opportunity to say: "Anhua is already on the border between Wuling and Changsha, and the general of my family has taken a considerable risk when he came here alone, which shows his sincerity." Since the king and my lord are going to be brothers, then they will be his own family, can the king bear to see his brother suffer in this way? ”

Pang Tong's strategy is actually very simple, if Shamoke is deceitful and colludes with Guan Yu, then he will definitely set up an ambush in the Yuanling area, and if the location of the meeting is changed temporarily, it will naturally disrupt the enemy's overall deployment.

Anhua is on the border of Wuling, and the location of the alliance is changed here, which can be regarded as giving Shamoke enough face, and there is a convenience of goods and water here, even if Guan Yu's army crosses the border and makes difficulties, Huang Zhong of Yiyang will go south, and the reinforcements can come to relieve the siege within a day.

With such a slight means, Liu Feng's westward journey seems to be risky, but in fact it is as safe as Mount Tai.

Shamoke's nerves are still relatively thick in the end, and he was moved by Chen Zhen like this, knowing it with reason, and his mind was turned around unconsciously, and after a little groaning, he waved his hand and shouted impatiently: "Okay, okay, Anhua, Anhua, what's the big deal, this king just walks a few more steps." ”

After a night's rest that night, Shamoke and his party hurried to Yuanling in the starry night, first to Yuanling, and then by land to enter the cargo water basin, to the north by water, and arrived in Anhua two days later.

When he found out that Shamoke was about to arrive, Liu Feng left the city to greet him by the water, and the sky was not beautiful, but it was raining heavily at this time.

Liu Feng exhaled softly a breath of white air, at this time the rain was very heavy, and in the rustling sound, the raindrops of beans "snapped" on the hat, and the sound was dense and dull.

Lu under his crotch was snorting unhappily, shaking his huge head up and down. The rain glued the smooth fur of the war horse into wisps, and it was wet and cold on its body, making it feel very uncomfortable.

In the faint rain and mist, more than a dozen bamboo rafts approached along the current, and tall and vigorous figures soon entered Liu Feng's field of vision.

Despite the pouring rain, all the barbarians were not wearing rain gear, allowing the rain to beat their strong bodies.

There was only a thin figure, wearing a hat, crowded among the barbarians, obviously very out of tune, and it was Chen Zhen who thought it was.

"Shamoke, the legendary barbarian king, I, Liu Feng, can finally see what kind of character you are."
