After hearing Liu Bei's words, Shamoko raised his neck and said: "If there is any lie, I am willing to be bitten by thousands of insects."
This punishment is the most prized punishment among the barbarians. It will be eaten bit by bit by thousands of insects, and in the end only a pile of bones will be left. The process is extremely cruel.
For Shamoko to say such a thing, it seems that the Wuling County officials have done something outrageous.
Liu Bei nodded: "Then let your people withdraw now, and I will definitely give you an explanation."
Shamoko looked at Liu Bei: "You are the shepherd of Jingzhou. I hope Liu Shijun can keep your word. Otherwise, even if I fail today, my clan still has a high priest who will definitely avenge us."
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Shamoko angrily.
"Barbarian is too rude."
"How dare you speak to your lord like this."
"Deserves to be killed!"
Liu Bei waved his hand, signaling everyone to calm down.
"You don't have to be like this, Barbarian King. As the shepherd of Jingzhou, I, Liu Bei, naturally stick to my word. I have no reason to deceive you. Go and give the order."
Shamoko knew it well.
When Liu Bei came, he brought strong men with him.
I have no chance. If I don't know what's going on, not only will my life be in danger, but tens of thousands of barbarians will also be buried here.
Shamoko then ordered to withdraw from the siege of Wuling County and make way for the road.
Cao Yin, the governor of Wuling County, had already climbed to the top of the city to watch what was going on outside.
After all, the fighting between Samoko, Wei Yan, and Taishi Ci was so loud that it was impossible for the city not to notice it.
When Cao Yin saw the fighting outside the field, he realized that Liu Bei was coming.
In fact, Cao Yin's emotions towards Liu Bei were very complicated.
I hope Liu Bei can come to save me, but I don't want Liu Bei to come to save me.
The reason is very simple. As a prefect of a county, he was originally directly responsible to the court. Now, suddenly there is an immediate boss above his head, and no one would want to replace him.
Therefore, Cao Yin did not want to see Liu Bei. As long as Liu Bei did not come, Cao Yin could temporarily maintain his rule over Wuling.
But if Liu Bei doesn't come, he alone can't deal with the Wuling barbarians.
In desperation, he could only ask Liu Bei for help.
After all, as Liu Bei's nominal subordinate, it is only natural to ask for help from Liu Bei.
Shamoko asked someone to make way, and Liu Bei led his people to the city gate.
Someone stepped forward and shouted: "Jingzhou Mu Liu Envoy has arrived, why don't you open the door quickly to greet him?"
Cao Yin didn't want to open the door, but he had to.
If Liu Bei is really blocked from the city gate, the consequences will be serious and Cao Yin cannot bear it.
Therefore, Cao Yin had to ask people to open the city gate and go out to meet Liu Bei.
As for verifying Liu Bei’s identity?
That's unnecessary. If the barbarians really had so many strong men, Wuling City would have been breached long ago, so there's no need to act.
There is no doubt about Liu Bei's identity.
Cao Yin came out of the city and came in front of Liu Bei. He bowed and saluted: "Cao Yin, the prefect of Wuling, has met the envoy. I would like to thank you for saving the lives of everyone in Wuling City. On behalf of the people of Wuling, I would like to thank you."
Saying this, Cao Yin bowed three times in succession.
This guy did a good job on the scene.
Liu Bei did not comment and raised his hand to support Cao Yin: "Prefect Cao does not need to be polite. Wuling is under the rule of Jingzhou. This is Bei's responsibility."
Having said this, Liu Bei called Shamoko over.
"Prefect Cao, it's better to enter the city quickly. I have something to ask you."
Cao Yin was shocked when he saw Liu Bei summoning Samoko over.
What's going on? Why wasn't this Samoko tied up?
Cao Yin himself was very clear about what he did. Most of the reasons why Wuling Man rebelled were driven by his greed.
Moreover, he did not cover up his crimes at all, and could not be investigated at all.
Therefore, when Cao Yin saw Samoko, he immediately felt something bad in his heart.
He hurriedly stepped forward and said to Liu Bei: "Your Majesty, this barbarian does not appreciate the kindness of the imperial court. He kills officials and rebels, causing trouble to the county. In fact, he deserves to be killed. I also ask your Majesty to kill this animal to avenge the death of the officials and people in Wuling."
As he spoke, Cao Yin knelt down, looking like he was crying happily.
Looking at the posture, it seemed that if Liu Bei did not kill Shamoko immediately, he would be sorry for the officials and people of Wuling.
Liu Bei frowned, feeling dissatisfied with Cao Yin.
What do you mean, you are going to put me on a rack and grill me.
It seems like you are probably not clean anymore.
However, it would be difficult for Liu Bei to say no.
Fortunately, Chen Yuan is here, right?
Chen Yuan naturally saw Cao Yi's intention.
Chen Yuan first walked up to Zilong and said quietly: "Zilong, later you can restrain Cao Yin and make him unable to speak. Is it possible?"
Zhao Yun nodded: "Don't worry, military advisor, this is easy."
Chen Yuan saw that Zhao Yun agreed, then walked to Cao Yin, stretched out his hand to help him up: "Prefect Cao, there is no need to be so anxious. The officials and people of Wuling suffered this disaster, and my lord felt the same. However, everything happened for a reason, why did the Wuling barbarians rebel?
, it must be investigated and dealt with first. If a good person is wronged, wouldn’t it cause pain to the loved ones and pleasure to the enemies?”
"Therefore, it would be better for Governor Cao to come with me to the city quickly and find out the cause of the matter."
With that said, Chen Yuan took Cao Yin and walked towards the city.
Cao Yin wanted to refute, but for some reason he felt a huge power that overwhelm him. He couldn't speak even if he wanted to speak, so he could only let Chen Yuan pull him towards the city.
Liu Bei couldn't help but smile when he saw Chen Yuan pulling Cao Yin inside.
My fourth brother.
Liu Bei waved his hand and led the people into Wuling City.
Huang Gai stayed outside the city and led his troops to guard the Wuling barbarians, killing anyone who made any move.
After arriving at Wuling Prefect's Mansion and entering the yamen, Zhao Yun finally let go of his fear of Cao Yin.
Cao Yin suddenly felt his body relax, and the invisible shock and imprisonment disappeared.
Cao Yin already understood at this time that Chen Yuan must have used the method.
Cao Yin looked at Chen Yuan with a very unkind look.
Chen Yuan didn't care at all about Cao Yin's eyes.
In Chen Yuan's mind, there was probably something wrong with Cao Yi.
I originally wanted to transfer him, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary and just kill him.
Liu Bei sat on the main seat, and everyone stood up in shifts.
Liu Bei said to Cao Yin: "Prefect Cao, I hope you will tell the truth about the reason for the Wuling rebellion."
Liu Bei was giving Cao Yin his last chance. As long as he could tell the truth, his life would not be spared.
However, Cao Yin was lucky and did not think Liu Bei could know the situation in Wuling.
Therefore, Cao Yin said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, the Wuling barbarian rebellion this time is entirely because these barbarians did not behave like kings, were greedy, and peeked into our Wuling city, so Wuling suffered this disaster. I hope you will
