The shouts of the barbarian leader attracted all the barbarians in the barracks.

Fifteen thousand barbarians leaned towards him one after another, and their eyes also looked at Zhuge Jun and the barbarian leader.

With his hands on his waist, the barbarian leader shouted to the barbarians in the barbarian language to the barbarian soldiers: "General Fang Cai told me that Meng Shu led the army downstream, intending to cross the river and fight a decisive battle with the Han army. ”

Listening to the barbarian leader's words, all the barbarians had a worried look on their faces.

Although they have already served the Han people, they will face their people after all.

Raising the sword to the clansmen is not a stranger to the barbarians, but now it is fighting with the Han people, and fighting against the clansmen in this situation does not know what kind of reputation it will leave in the future.

Seeing the entanglement on the faces of the barbarian soldiers, Zhuge Jun just smiled and did not say anything.

With his hands on his waist and facing the barbarian soldiers, the barbarian leader then shouted: "In the past, following Meng Huo, we fought to the death, just because our lives were cheap, even if we killed more enemies, we had to obey people's orders and always trample under the feet of others. General Fang Cai told me that once I fought with Meng Huo's army, anyone who had made war merits would be distinguished immediately! ”

The words of the barbarian leader made the expressions of all the barbarians with entangled faces suddenly change.

Following Meng Huo to fight, no matter how many enemies they killed, in the end, they just got more food, and in terms of status, it was impossible to improve at all.

Even if there are occasionally one or two who have risen in status because of their military exploits, they are also the best of the best in battle, and most of them are brutes, and they have no chance of being distinguished at all.

Before joining the Han army, Zhuge Jun announced a completely different promotion order from their past, and the barbarians seemed to see the day when they would have a glorious identity in the near future.

From the changes in the expressions of the barbarian soldiers, Zhuge Jun could see that the barbarian leader standing in front had already said the key to attracting the barbarians.

He turned his head to look at the guide beside him.

There was no expression on the guide's face, and it was obvious that what the barbarian leader said was not unfavorable to the Han army.

Glancing at the guide, Zhuge Jun was completely relieved, and said to the guide: "Inform them that from today onwards, all the barbarian soldiers who surrender to Cheng will be reorganized according to the Han army system. No matter what their status was in the barbarian army in the past, this time they only need to fight hard to kill the enemy in battle, and they will have the opportunity to become officials! ”

With a fist in response, the guide stepped forward, stood beside the barbarian leader, and repeated what Zhuge Jun had just said in his voice.

No matter how high or low, you can be an official.

The low-status barbarians were already excited, but after being excited, many people thought that in the future, the Han people would occupy the barbarian territory, whether they would unload the mill and kill the donkey, and their faces turned gray again.

The barbarian's face was suddenly sunny and cloudy, which made Zhuge Jun a little helpless.

He knew very well that although the barbarians had joined the Han army, after all, they had the blood of barbarians in their bones, and they couldn't make the decision to completely rely on the Han army before they really saw the benefits, after all, this land was the home of the barbarians, and the Han army was just an outsider!

Seeing the entanglement on the faces of many barbarians, Zhuge Jun then said to the guide: "Inform them that we will definitely withdraw from this place when we pacify the barbarians, but before we withdraw, we will allocate land for them and settle down the people who control the barbarian land!" ”

The guide answered first, and then repeated what Zhuge Jun said aloud to the fifteen thousand barbarians.

After all, they still haven't really seen the benefits, and the barbarians who surrendered to Cheng are still a little apprehensive in their hearts.

They knew very well that once they fought the barbarians, there would be no turning back for them.

But at the same time, they also knew that even if they did not fight with the army led by Meng Huo, and returned to the clansmen in the future, they would face the fate of either being killed or being used as slaves by the clansmen.

Standing behind the barbarian leader and guide, looking around at the more than 15,000 barbarians present, Zhuge Jun waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Feast on war and cross the river at night!" ”

The barbarian soldiers couldn't understand what he shouted, and they all looked at him in confusion.

It wasn't until the guides, the barbarian soldiers, who stood side by side with the barbarian leader, that they all understood that Zhuge wanted to let them eat enough and have the strength to cross the river at night.

The guide repeated Zhuge Jun's order in the words of the barbarian, and Zhuge Jun said to him: "General Xu Chu does not understand the language of the barbarians, and you have to accompany the general to cross the river this time!" ”

"Obey the general's orders!" Clenched his fists and bowed, and bowed to Zhuge Jun, and the guide responded.

He has lived in the barbarian realm with the Han army for many years, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, the guide is now more and more like a Han army soldier.

Zhuge Jun asked him to follow Xu Chu across the river, but he almost didn't think about it, so he hugged his fists and responded.

Nodding to the guide, Zhuge Jun instructed the soldiers behind him: "Inform the military quartermasters, ask them to send food, so that the barbarian soldiers can eat and drink enough, and cross the river at night!" ”

One of his own soldiers answered, turned around and left the camp where the barbarians were stationed, and conveyed Zhuge Jun's order to the quartermaster.

After the soldiers left, Zhuge Jun did not stay in the barbarian camp for too long.

There was a language barrier with the barbarians, and many of the things he wanted to say could not be said to the barbarian soldiers.

To boost morale, we need not only the benefits of words that can stimulate the soldiers, but also the tone of tone that is subdued and frustrated.

The guide conveyed his intentions, apparently unable to achieve such an effect.

All Zhuge could do was to fight a battle to prove whether these barbarians would follow the Han army wholeheartedly.

Soon after Zhuge Jun, who led Xu Chu and the others, left the barbarian camp, the quartermaster sent a lot of meat, vegetables and fruits to the barbarian soldiers.

The barbarian soldiers, who were first captured by the Han army and then accepted the reorganization, saw that the quartermaster brought people to bring food, and more than ten people gathered in a circle, prepared it in the open space in the barracks, and waited for the distribution of food.

Living in the wilderness all year round, the barbarian soldiers are not very picky about food.

The soldiers of the Han army brought by the military quartermaster placed large buckets full of food in the barbarian barracks, and some of the barbarians immediately stepped forward, carried the large barrels, and walked towards the barbarian soldiers who were distributing food in a circle.

Zhuge Jun's order was to let the barbarian soldiers eat and drink enough, and the military quartermaster not only brought food to the barbarian soldiers, but also prepared a lot of wine.

These wines were not brought by the Han army from Chengdu.

The wine brought from Chengdu had already been drunk by the Han soldiers as they traveled through the jungle.

The military quartermaster was all savage wine obtained from the barbarians when they fought with the barbarians.

Among the barbarian army, those low-status barbarians could not have the opportunity to drink wine when marching.

After receiving the food, when the barbarians who distributed the food gave each of them another clay bowl and poured them full of wine, many of the barbarians were stunned.

Looking at the not very clear liquor, the brutes, who had never had a chance to drink it before, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva.

On Zhuge Jun's order, the leader of the more than 15,000 barbarians was also stunned when he saw the wine sent by the army.

In the past, although his status in the barbarian army was not very high, he was not comparable to ordinary barbarians at the lower level.

Even so, he didn't have much opportunity to drink, and he often knew that he could watch the generals and kings of the caves drink.

Unexpectedly, after serving the Han army, there was about to be a vicious battle to be fought now, but the Han army was willing to take out the wine and give it to every barbarian soldier to drink.

Holding a clay bowl, he waited until a barbarian holding a wine jar poured him full of wine, and he raised the bowl high and shouted to the barbarians in the barracks: "Clansmen! Can you see! ”

When he raised the bowl and let out a shout, all the barbarians turned their eyes to him.

"The Han people treated us as their own family, and not only did they not kill us, but they brought us food and wine!" Holding the wine bowl, the barbarian leader shouted loudly: "In the past, he fought for Meng Huo, can he give you a drink?" ”

The barbarian leader's words stunned all the barbarians in the camp.

Many barbarians looked at each other, and some of them also stood up with their bowls in their hands.

Most of the barbarians who stood up with the wine bowl did not speak, only the closest to the barbarian leader replied in a loud voice: "Don't say more, I'll know!" ”

"Clansmen!" Nodding to the barbarian who had replied, the barbarian leader then shouted, "For the great man!" In the future, our people can also be like the Han people, with clothes to wear, food, fields to cultivate, and houses to live in! Drink this bowl of wine! ”

When his shout fell, all the barbarians in the barracks stood up.

The barbarians had never heard of clothing, food, farming, and housing, and until this moment, more than 15,000 barbarians decided in their hearts that they would follow the Han army from now on!

At least the Han army gave them a promise, and it was still on the war meal, which made them feel different from the past.

Although the barbarians live in the extremely harsh conditions of the Southern Barbarian Land, they are also human beings, and they also yearn for a relatively equal identity and a relatively equal life.

In the past, the nobles among the barbarians of the generals and kings of the caves did not treat these lowly barbarians as human beings at all.

Kill if you want, and abuse if you want.

Now the Han people have brought them hope and let them see the dawn of their future life.

No barbarian is a fool!

As for whether the Han people will fulfill their promises in the future, the barbarians with relatively simple thinking can't take care of that much.

Whatever!

Let's do it first!

"Han people, it's our brothers!" The barbarian who had responded to the barbarian leader earlier held a wine bowl and shouted to the barbarians in the barracks: "To the great man! To our people! ”

"To the Great Han! To our people! The barbarian barracks was immediately filled with the rough shouts of the barbarians.
