This is a kind of oath taken by the Wuxi barbarians.
The oath of the soldier.
It is the highest oath among the Wuxi barbarians. If you violate this oath, you will be cast aside by the entire tribe.
Therefore, Shamoko took this oath to express his loyalty to Liu Bei.
Although Liu Bei didn't know about this oath, he felt Shamoko's intention.
Liu Bei helped Shamoko up and said: "Why is the Barbarian King doing this? Since Bei appointed you as the captain of the crime camp, it means that he trusts the character of the Barbarian King."
After he finished speaking, he signaled Wei Yan to drag out Wuling County Lieutenant, Hanshou County Magistrate, and County Lieutenant and behead them.
Wei has already done it, so the next thing is En.
Liu Bei said to Shamoko: "I am well aware of the plight of the barbarians, king of the barbarians, so I have decided to reduce the tax on your barbarians to 30%, and allow you and other barbarians to go down to the mountains to farm, and the grain they receive will be divided 50-50 with the government. No offense."
People can enter the city, are you willing?"
When Shamoko heard Liu Bei say this, it was not as simple as a surprise.
It was just a little scary.
Because there has never been a Han official who could treat barbarians like this.
In the past, officials always regarded the barbarians as barbarians and suppressed them mainly by killing them.
As for allowing barbarians to go down the mountains to farm and enter the city, don't even think about it.
Samoko couldn't believe it: "Do you really mean what you said?"
Liu Bei smiled: "Honzhou Mu keeps his word."
Samoko was overjoyed: "Your Majesty has treated me like this, and I, a barbarian, are willing to be your dogs and horses."
After the matter was decided, Liu Bei took Shamoko and announced it to the barbarians outside the city. The barbarians immediately cheered loudly and were all grateful to Liu Bei for his life.
When Samoko was defeated previously, these barbarians thought they would not survive.
According to past practice, those who failed in rebellion would basically be killed by Han officials.
Although he is now organized into a crime camp, also known as a death camp, he is the first to enter the camp.
But after all, there is a chance to survive.
Moreover, taxes were lowered and people were allowed to live in the mountains, which was something that was unthinkable in the past.
At this moment, the hearts of the Wuxi barbarians returned to Liu Bei.
In the four counties of Jingnan, as long as the Wuxi barbarians help, half of the problem is solved.
The rest are generally dealing with the Liu family in Changsha, and the four counties in Jingnan are in Liu Bei's pocket.
Anyway, there are no major issues in Nanjun, Nanyang and Jiangxia now, and Gu Yong and Guan Yu can definitely handle them.
After Liu Bei arranged for Tai Shici to be the prefect of Wuling, he led his troops straight to Lingling County.
The reason for this is entirely because Liu Chuo, the governor of Lingling, is a member of the Liu family in Changsha and has deep roots.
Moreover, there is another talent in Lingling, Liu Ba, who has repeatedly failed Liu Bei.
This is a strange thing. Being a member of the Liu family, one looks down upon the Liu family.
Both Liu Biao and Liu Bei conquered him many times, but he only loved Cao Cao.
Liu Ba Shao was well-known, and Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, was recruited and recommended many times, but Liu Ba refused to accept it. Cao Cao conquered Jingzhou, and most of the scholars in Jingzhou returned to Liu Bei, but Liu Ba went north to join Cao Cao.
Later, he was ordered by Cao Cao to surrender the three counties of Jingnan. Unexpectedly, he was captured by Liu Bei first. Liu Ba could not return Cao Cao's orders, so he went as far as Jiaozhi to defect to Cao Cao.
Later, he went to Liu Zhang in Yizhou, and finally Liu Zhang was captured by Liu Bei. In desperation, Liu Ba surrendered to Liu Bei.
This guy is a man of great talent and has extremely high attainments in finance and law.
Later, Liu Bei's financial difficulties were solved, and together with Zhuge Liang, he formulated the Shu Han's legal document "Shu Ke".
In general, he is a great talent in internal affairs and must be recruited to work for Liu Bei.
Chen Yuan told Liu Bei about Liu Ba's origins and talents on the road, and praised his talent as a hundred times better than his own.
This made Liu Ba very interested in people with the same surname as himself.
There was no talking all the way, and Liu Bei quickly arrived at Lingling County, led by barbarians.
This time the rebellion of Wuxi barbarians was mainly in Wuling County, and Lingling County was not attacked.
Therefore, Lingling County can be considered peaceful.
Moreover, Lingling County is also the location of a major branch of the Liu family in Changsha, which is very powerful in the local area. Liu Chuo, the prefect, has done a very reliable job.
In fact, according to the Three Mutual Laws, Liu Chuo should not be appointed as the prefect of Lingling.
However, his native place is still Changsha County, so there is nothing wrong with him being the prefect of Lingling.
With the Liu family's power in Lingling, they naturally knew the news about Liu Bei's troops coming.
But Liu Chuo was not afraid of anything. Who were the local emperors in the four counties of Jingnan ever afraid of?
Besides, we are all descendants of our ancestors, so we won’t be at war with each other.
Liu Chuo greeted Liu Bei outside the city gate.
Although Liu Chuo was not afraid of Liu Bei, he still gave him plenty of face.
"Lingling Prefect Liu Chuo has met the envoy. He has been working hard all the way. Please come to the city to rest."
Liu Bei did not refuse, and went to the prefect's mansion under the leadership of Liu Chuo.
The two of them first renewed their friendship for the same clan, but even though they were from the same clan, the blood relationship between them could no longer be weak.
Naturally, it is impossible to calculate seniority.
Therefore, they are called brothers.
Regarding the Liu family in Changsha, Chen Yuan's advice to Liu Bei was to win over them.
Throughout the history of the Liu family in Changsha, although the bad habits of powerful men who like to annex land cannot be escaped, their character is generally good.
This is a local force that can be won over.
If the Changsha Liu family is willing to join the Liu Bei Group, it will be very beneficial to Liu Bei.
Because not only can he successfully control the four counties in Jingnan, but it can also enhance Liu Bei's voice among the Han clan.
Therefore, Liu Bei's attitude towards Liu Chuo is naturally very good.
Talk more about clan affairs to enhance mutual friendship.
At the end, Liu Bei revealed his purpose: "Brother Ziliu is highly respected. Living in the land of Lingling would be a disgrace to his talents. I want to recommend brother Ziliu to serve as Dahonglu. What do you think of brother Ziliu?"
Liu Chuo, if you say he is capable, can be considered to be somewhat talented.
But there is only one thing: this person is an official fan.
As one of the nine ministers, Dahonglu naturally had a higher status than the prefect of Lingling.
When Liu Chuo heard that Liu Bei was willing to recommend him to become Da Honglu, he was naturally happy: "Brother Xuande values me so much, Chuo will be richly rewarded."
Liu Chuo actually didn't value the official position of Lingling Prefect that much.
He would rather go to Luoyang.
How can Lingling, a poor place, be compared with Luoyang?
The reason why Liu Bei recommended Liu Chuo to be Dahonglu was not only because Dahonglu was in charge of the affairs of the princes and vassal states. It would be very beneficial to Liu Bei if Liu Chuo became Dahonglu.
It's even more because Da Honglu in the imperial court is now vacant.
This news was brought back from Luoyang by Jin Fengwei.
Since the establishment of Jinfengwei, after this period of development, there are basically people from Jinfengwei in Jingzhou, so Chen Yuan sent some people to Luoyang.
There is no need to do anything big now, it is enough to provide timely feedback on changes in court officials.
However, it will be hard to say in the future.
Chen Yuan has many big things planned in his mind.
