Thousands of elites of the Han army were on guard thirty miles outside the city of Guzang, and the attendants passed food back and forth. Liangzhou Thorn Shi Huang Quan was greeting the leaders of the Qiang Hu.

When Bai Huwen appeared, Huang Quan stepped forward to greet him, and then Huang Quan whispered: "The leader will wait in the side tent, and I will talk to the leader in a while!" ”

Bai Huwen smiled knowingly and said, "Understood! ”。

Half an hour later, Huang Quan arrived, Bai Huwen greeted him, and Huang Quan said: "Chief, the rest of the tribal leaders have arrived, and there will be a banquet soon."

The leader listens well, and the daughter marries Zhang Gongzi, in order to prevent the rest of the tribal leaders from having a bad relationship with you and me, and good things turn into bad things, at least let the other leaders feel that the leader is at a loss. ”

Bai Huwen promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely act according to what Assassin Shi said!" ”

Liu Bei sits on the main seat, on the left are Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, Zhang Bao and other generals, and on the right are Huang Quan, Shi Jaw and other ministers. Leaders such as Ohhe, Yaoge, Vatong, Mozasai, Erya, and Baihuwen sat down for a banquet.

Liu Bei raised his glass and said: "Leaders, this refusal of Cao Xing relies on the help of the leaders, this king is very grateful, and this king is here to give everyone a cup." The leaders raised their glasses and bowed.

Liu Bei said: "Leaders, this king knows that you have suffered a lot of losses, so if you have any requirements here, just say that this king will agree to do what he can!" If you don't mention it, don't blame this king for not agreeing in the future! As soon as Liu Bei's voice fell, the leaders spoke wildly.

Liu Bei frowned and looked to the right at Huang Quan. Huang Quan slammed the table with the hilt of his sword, and with a loud bang, Huang Quan shouted: "Quiet words, you must not be rude in front of the king!" The leaders were silent.

Liu Bei said: "The leaders have something to say one by one. Let's start with the leader of Oh on the left! ”

Oh He stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what I want to say is that I haven't seen the reward promised before, this Liangzhou rebellion has been put down for more than ten days, and when will this reward reach the families of the fallen warriors of the tribe are looking forward to it!" ”

Liu Bei said: "In ten days, the first batch of rewards will be transported here from Hanzhong." Leaders don't have to worry about this, we will pay for the warriors and horses lost by your clan in accordance with the agreement between the Yellow Thorn History and you, this king will not leave Longyou for the time being, if there is no reward, you can come to this king! ”

Oh He hugged his fists and said: "Then thank you king!" Your Majesty, Huang Thorn Shi also promised before that after the end of the war, we will be divided into pastures for us to graze horses and sheep.

The grasslands in Longxi County were burned by ourselves, and the grasslands in Nan'an and Tianshui were burned by Cao Jun. The pasture in Liangzhou was simply not enough to support the millions of livestock of the tribes, and Lu Shuiqiang's original pasture was controlled by the Assassin Shi.

Now is the time to get fat, these livestock are the main reliance of our tribe, what can we do when winter comes, please give us an explanation! The leaders chimed in.

Liu Bei pretended to support his forehead with his hand, and said for a long time: "Leaders, this grassland has been destroyed, and this king is worried about everyone, but the grassland needs to grow in the next year, and this king can't do anything!" ”

The leaders were shocked: "What can I do! ”

Oh Ho cried out, "Your Majesty, you can't see our cattle starve to death, if it weren't for the king's war, why would we be here?" ”

Liu Bei stretched out his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "The grassland can't be changed, but it can reduce livestock." The princes were to start by choosing how many animals they could support in their existing pastures, and the king would buy all the surplus animals.

Of course, you can choose between grain, gold, silver, wine, cloth, silk, jewelry, and wine, just like a normal exchange of cattle, sheep, horses, and animal skins. What do the leaders think? The chiefs whispered in twos and threes.

Huang Quan got up and said: "Leaders, you don't have to worry too much, since the king wants to help you, he will naturally do his best, and the requirements of the strong man are unrealistic, and now the grassland is helpless."

In this war, nearly 200,000 soldiers of our Han army participated in the war, and they needed to be rewarded for their meritorious service, and the war dead needed to be comforted.

The king was to use the money, grain, brocade, etc., which had been used to reward the soldiers of the Han army, and exchange them for livestock and give them to the soldiers of the Han army. The soldiers of our Han army were given horses, cattle and sheep or ridden, or pulled carts, or slaughtered.

The tribes of the chiefs were fed with grain, and cloth was not a problem to survive the winter. Best of both worlds! As soon as Huang Quan's voice fell, all the leaders nodded one after another.

The leader Moth got up and said, "Your Majesty, I have no problem exchanging the cattle and sheep that are going to starve to death for money, grain, and brocade. However, the situation of Liangzhou and Longyou is different, the leaders of Oh He and Yao Ge are in Longxi, and they have land to cultivate, so in addition to livestock, the tribe must have a lot of grain in stock, and there are many things that can be exchanged for it.

Compared with us in Liangzhou, we rely too much on the pasture and lack of food. If you exchange cattle and sheep for food, you can exchange it for enough, but then again, the king, when the grain is gone, the cattle and sheep can produce milk, and they can eat their meat, and their fur can be woven into blankets, and it is more convenient than grain.

If it weren't for the last resort, who would be willing to exchange so many cattle and sheep. We lost so much that we had nothing in the end of the spring! ”

Liu Bei raised his hand and said, "Moth Cover Leader, I understand what you mean." Cattle and sheep are not easy for you Qiang people to sell, and now in an extraordinary time, this king will not take advantage of you.

Every three-chambered sheep is traded according to the price of four-chambered sheep, and two cows are traded according to three-chamber cattle, regardless of fat or thin. In addition, the king of each tribe supports one month's grain and straw, which is the maximum limit of the king. What does the moth cover the leader thinks! ”

Moth said, "Thank you, the king!" ”

Liu Bei said to Huang Quan: "Huang Thorn History, that Lu Shuiqiang place can be handed over to the leaders for grazing for the time being!" ”

Huang Quan pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, that place is too important, there are often accidents, the remnants of Lu Shuiqiang are scattered, and the resurrection will suffer!" ”

Liu Bei said: "This king knows that the leaders can be slightly flexible if they have difficulties now. Divide according to the situation of each tribe, don't be biased, and next year the leaders will return to their respective pastures! ”

Huang Quan said: "Since the king has an order, the minister obeys the order!" ”

Liu Bei continued: "Leaders, this king feels that the burning of the grassland is an accident and a lesson. Leaders can try to graze and plow. When the wind and rain are favorable, the pastures are luxuriant, and the cattle and sheep are fat. The harvested grain can be stored.

If there is no grass to eat in a disaster year, and there is still food to feed the entire tribe, it will not be embarrassing, and this king has rewarded everyone with a lot of fields to try to cultivate! The princes were talking among themselves.

After speaking, Liu Bei glanced at Ma Chao. Ma Chao got up and said, "Leaders, Ma Chao is polite!" ”

As soon as Ma Chao spoke, all the leaders looked at Ma Chao together, Ma Chao was proud, and of course there was a trace of worry, this is in front of Liu Bei, you leaders are too face-giving, Liu Bei speaks, you talk a lot, I Ma Chao speaks, you all shut up and look at me.

Ma Chao's face was as usual and said: "The king is more benevolent to the leaders than Cao Thief, so everyone can negotiate the conditions here." If it is Xiahou Yuan, will he trade with you? Will it mediate inter-tribal disputes?

Xiahou Yuan promised to plunder first, confiscate the livestock, and move the population to Tuntian in the Central Plains. Yijian's prostitutes and concubines, Zhiyuan's rebellion, were all lured by Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren, they gave a message to Yijian's prostitutes, Cao's army pacified Liangzhou, and all the population, livestock, etc. they plundered belonged to them, which was very ruthless! ”

Licking his lips, Ma Chao continued: "So, Longyou and Liangzhou are not only guarded by our Han army, but also by your Qiang people, right!" The chiefs whispered yes.

Ma Chao said irritably: "Speak loudly, right!" The leaders agreed, yes, yes.

Ma Chao said: "Since it is right, then it is necessary to talk about the gains and losses of this battle, your various departments have nearly 40,000 troops, how can you say it?" The battle was chaotic, our Han army's 30,000 soldiers and horses killed at least 60,000 Cao troops, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong were defeated, and the generals Pang Gong, Zhao Ang and others were killed.

Look at what your 40,000 soldiers and horses have been beaten by Cao Xiu, losing 10,000 troops and destroying thousands of enemies. General Ben is not wrong, the leader of Vatong has a deep understanding!

Just now all the leaders said that they would defend Liangzhou and Longyou together, so there is nothing to say, each person does not need to go out more, a thousand people. A total of nearly 10,000 people, trained by the commander of our Han army! “

Liu Bei interrupted: "Meng Qi, this person who is practicing is your Shenweitian General!" ”

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and immediately thanked him. Turned around and said: "After training, 10,000 soldiers and horses are used for 30,000 people, you leaders also have no worries, you don't have to be the same as this time, the soldiers and horses of the tribes before and after have spent too much money and food, and the loss of soldiers and horses is too great, you are distressed!" What do the chiefs think? The chiefs whispered.

Ma Chao then said: "Don't feel embarrassed, this time each of you sent no less than 3,000 troops, and the most you led 6,000 people to participate in the battle, but all of them were taken advantage of by the rebels, and the casualties of each department are clear, why do you want to do this next time?"

Now I want a thousand of you, what are you hesitating about! The expenses of these people's families are borne by our army, you are not worried about the lack of forage for the livestock, and it is difficult to feed the people, and our Han army will help you share it! Don't speak, what do you want to do! ”

The leaders felt that they did not agree, and there was no danger of grassland this time, and I was afraid that Liu Bei would not do his best to help, so they had to agree one after another.

Ma Chao said: "Okay, send a thousand warriors and their families to Guzang City within ten days, and they will start training and become an army as soon as possible!" ”

The leaders hurriedly said, "Why do you want their families? ”

Ma Chao shouted: "Nonsense, their family members are not in a safe place, can they rest assured that they will fight?" Don't be verbose, you don't need many people, Guzang is close to the tribes, and it's convenient to go back and see! The leaders had no choice but to agree.

Liu Bei opened his mouth and said: "The leader of the war with the same has lost nearly half of the tribal warriors in this battle, and this king feels deeply guilty, so the leader doesn't have to send someone to recuperate, rest and recuperate first, and then talk about other things!" After hearing this, Vatong was overjoyed and thanked.

Liu Bei said with a pleasant face: "This is what you deserve, no need to thank you!" ”

Bai Huwen whispered to Moth: "It seems that the tribal warriors will be recruited no matter what!" ”

Moth Sha answered: "No way, Ma Chao is so ruthless, and now there are Hanzhong Wang and Huang Thorn Shi as helpers, let's listen to the arrangement honestly!" ”

Bai Huwen stood up abruptly and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to send three thousand soldiers and horses to help the king!" ”

Everyone was stunned after hearing this, and Liu Bei said slowly: "How good is this!" I heard that the subordinates of the leader of Bai Huwen were closest to Yijian's prostitutes and concubines, and they suffered a lot of losses. Jincheng blocked Xu Huang's troops and dealt with the rebels' casualties of three or four thousand. By the way, what's wrong with the leader's injury? ”

Baihu Wen bowed and said: "King Lao remembers my merits, and my injuries are fine." ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "That's good, what does the leader have to say!" ”

Bai Huwen said: "I have a reluctant request, I hope the king will atone for his sins!" ”

Liu Bei said: "Let's listen to it, there is no way to do it, there is no way to do it!" ”

Bai Huwen said: "I have a little girl who wants to marry the king!" As soon as these words came out, everyone instantly became noisy.
