Chapter 54: Shamoko's Decision
Listening to Shamoke's words, Liu Ba was calm as usual.
Because he is sure of himself.
This time I came from afar to convince Shamoke.
If he gave up lightly at this moment, wouldn't he become a joke?
Continuing to look at Shamoke, Liu Ba said lightly:
"The barbarian king doesn't need to be in such a hurry, I waited here with sincerity. Besides, I just came all the way, and now among the tribes, I'm afraid there is not much food left! ”
Shamoko narrowed his eyes and fell silent.
Then he spoke:
"What if there is no food, it's a big deal to go down the mountain and grab it."
Liu Ba suddenly smiled and said:
"What the barbarian king said is very true, but this matter is probably not so simple, now the four counties of Jingnan are strictly guarded, and now Wuxi Barbarian even if he goes down the mountain, I am afraid that he will not be able to grab any food.
If there is no food, I am afraid that many Wuxi barbarians here will starve to death on this mountain. ”
Shamoke looked at Liu Ba, a strange color flashed in his eyes, he had to admit that the Tuntian captain in front of him was very different from the Han people he had seen before.
But who is Shamoke, he can rule over many Wuxi barbarians, and naturally he also has his skills.
It was Isamoko who suddenly laughed and said:
"You're right, I used to worry about food, but now I don't need to. Wouldn't it be much easier for you to send it to your own door, and if you were to exchange it for food and grass? ”
Hearing this, Liu Ba waved his hand and said with a smile:
"If that's the case, the barbarian king is too short-sighted, even if he exchanges us for food, how much can he get, and with the current number of Wuxi Man, it is no less than tens of thousands.
When these grains and grasses are exhausted, I'm afraid that the barbarian king will have nothing to do! ”
Speaking of this, Shamoko's face was a little embarrassed.
But after all, I can't think of a way to refute it.
But Liu Ba didn't mean to be forgiving, he was confident and calm, and said eloquently:
"I believe that the barbarian king should also be white, and the only way out for the Wuxi barbarians is to go down the mountain. If you stay on this mountain, even if you can barely make it now, it will be difficult to continue in the long run. ”
But Shamoko sneered and said disdainfully:
"You Han people have always said better than you do, if you Han people can really fulfill their promises, why should I fall into the mountains, isn't it all forced by you?"
Liu Ba nodded slowly, and then said:
"It is precisely because I know your hardships that my lord did not directly send troops to levy, but wanted to persuade Wuxi to join him, so that it would be beneficial to both of them.
The past is no longer a matter of concern, as long as the barbarian king is willing to be attached, we can guarantee the division of the land. Taxes can be reduced but not abolished, and Jingzhou today is different from the past. ”
At this moment, Liu Ba was quite frank.
He directly stated his own conditions.
These are the most basic guarantees, if Wuxi Man really goes down the mountain, Liu Qi will definitely find a way to settle it.
In troubled times, population is the most important.
At this moment, although Shamoke snorted coldly, he did not directly interrupt Liu Ba's speech, his eyes were burning, and he said loudly:
"When the time comes, the barbarian king will need no less grain, and he will supply it until the next harvest. In fact, in addition to these, I also brought a gift for the Wuxi barbarians. ”
At this time, Shamoko finally became interested and asked:
"Gifts? What gift? ”
Liu Ba stretched out his hand and replied:
"On the way here, it was taken away by your people, and the barbarian king went to ask first, and as for this gift, we will know later."
Although in Shamoke's heart, he is very wary of the Han people. At this moment, he didn't take what Liu Ba said seriously, but he was indeed a little curious about this gift.
After all, it doesn't look like Liu Ba is talking gibberish.
After some inquiry.
What Shamoko wanted, it was finally delivered.
Looking at this peculiar-looking plough, Shishamoko looked puzzled and asked:
"What is this?"
Liu Ba nodded and introduced:
"Barbarian king, look, this is the gift that my lord prepared for Wuxi Man, this gift looks simple, just a plow, but it is very different from ordinary ploughs, it can be called a treasure.
As for the effect, no matter how much is said below, the barbarian king may not believe it. Why don't you go outside and try it. ”
Looking at the quyuan plow, Shamoke's eyes condensed slightly, and then he went out with one hand, and there was a cultivated land not far from here, because it was very inconvenient in the mountains.
When you're ready.
Shamoko is the first place to put people to the test.
An old scalper is in front, pulling the reins to move.
Many people around looked around, curious that this appearance was quite strange, and that it only needed the plough of an ox.
There is nothing special about this process.
But after the experience, Shamoke and the others exchanged fiercely in the local dialect, and in the end, Shamoke's face was only shocked, and it became much more solemn.
Only now did he know that what the Han man said was true.
Back in the house.
Shamoko took a deep breath and said:
"How the hell is this done?"
Liu Ba smiled with satisfaction, he knew that the turning point was coming:
"This plough is a new type of plough improved by my lord, I believe that with the help of this plough, the Wuxi barbarians will be able to save a lot of effort in cultivating in the future, and the barbarian king should be satisfied!"
Shamoko nearly rolled his eyes.
These Han people are really still very treacherous.
With just this plough, no matter how good it is, can it still plow all the fields in one go?
It's impossible!
Behind Liu Ba, Wei Yan was also unexpectedly tight.
When they first met, he could sense that the barbarian king Shamoko was extremely hostile to them.
How do you look at this plough, but there is such a change.
It's amazing.
In the face of Liu Ba, who was a little perfunctory, Shamoke did not continue to be stubborn this time, at least from Qu Yuan plow, he could feel that the Han people this time were indeed not just fooling.
If you want to keep the group going on for a long time, there is really only one way down the mountain. The days on the mountain are not good, unless it is a good harvest, it is completely beyond the means.
If you go down the mountain to grab food, let's not mention how much you can grab for the time being, the most important thing is that someone will always die.
Those young and strong people are all Wuxi Man's laborers.
After thinking about it.
Shamoko has a decision.
He is a barbarian king, of course, for the sake of the whole race.
Because of the lessons of the past, he will not easily agree to Liu Ba. But in the current situation, he was willing to make some attempts, and saw Shamoke say angrily:
"What you're saying is that I can't say yes directly, but you brought this plough with me, and it did show me sincerity.
In that case, I would like to meet the people above you. ”
This made Liu Ba a little surprised.
After a brief consideration, he made a decision, and Shamoke's words meant that he was already moved.
It's just one kick away.
This kick is not good on his own.
Then let Liu Qi solve it!
In Liu Ba's opinion, this matter should be inseparable.
After he got rid of Wuximan, he would be able to farm with peace of mind, and Tuntian was also a very interesting thing.
