Li Lu had been in control of Hanzhong for so many years that everyone knew about it. Therefore, it was very easy to find out about Li Lu in Hanzhong. The person who had heard the news came back to report. Cong Yang was extremely surprised after hearing it.
Before Cong Yang went to Hanzhong, there were actually two officials who were appointed as Hanzhong prefects. These two officials were the subordinates of Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou. Liu Biao was the herdsman of Jingzhou and controlled the entire territory of Jingzhou. Li Lu was entrenched in Hanzhong and did not listen to orders. It was like an independent country. Therefore, Liu Biao sent two officials to Hanzhong to serve as the prefect of Hanzhong. However, these two prefects died on the way to their posts, and neither of them reached Hanzhong. Of the two mayors, one died in Nanjiang County and the other in Bachuan County. Although they died in different places, the way they died was the same. The officials who died in Nanjiang County were ambushed by the barbarians. The prefect of Hanzhong was ambushed and sacrificed. The governor who died in Bachuan County was also attacked by the barbarians. He led his soldiers to resist the barbarians and died in the line of duty.
On the surface, the two prefects had met with the barbarians attacking the city and died on the battlefield. But Bachuan County and Nanjiang
The county is close to Hanzhong, and the barbarians have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time. How dare they follow?
Of course, Li Lu had contributed to this.
To be able to make the two mayors die heroically. Right now, Cong Yang was being held back by Li Lu in Shangyong County. It was very likely that Li Lu was using the same trick again, letting the barbarians attack the city. What was even more coincidental was that there were barbarians living near Shangyong County. Therefore, Cong Yang was even more certain that Li Lu would use this method to deal with him. That was why he had come to the barbarian village. Not long after Cong Yang arrived at the stronghold, Zhang Yang arrived at the barbarian stronghold and asked the barbarian leader to lead the barbarians to attack Shangyong County in advance. He wanted to use this opportunity to make Cong Yang sacrifice himself for the country. Cong Yang walked out and sat down with his robe lifted. He looked at the barbarian territory in front of him. This barbarian was not tall, and could only reach Cong Yang's neck. Moreover, this barbarian had a simple and honest face. His dark eyes were clear and flawless. However, such an honest person did not look as simple and honest as he looked. He was cunning like a fox and had brilliant methods. Cong Yang stopped underestimating the barbarian territory and corrected his attitude.
"Chief Cong, you heard Li Lu's conditions, right?”A smile appeared on the barbarian leader's honest face. He said," 20,000 dan of grain, 2,000 sets of armor, and 10,000 steel knives. This is not a small number. Compared to Chief Cong's offer of getting something for nothing, Li Lu is much more sincere than you. Cong Yang shook his head." Leader, you're wrong. I believe I'm more sincere than Li Lu." The barbarian leader looked into Cong Yang's eyes and asked,"What do you mean?" Cong Yang smiled and said," Leader's deal with Li Lu is like asking a tiger for its skin. As long as Li Lu gets rid of me, the new Hanzhong Mayor, Li Lu will turn his spearhead to you and attack you to stabilize his interests. But this time, Leader wants 20,000 stone grains."
Food, 10,000 steel sabers, 2,000 sets of armor.
The next time, the leader's appetite would become bigger and bigger, and the strength of his subordinates would become stronger and stronger. At that time, Li Lu would also be afraid of the leader. However, Li Lu could not just watch the leader grow bigger, because Li Lu did not need a barbarian stronghold that could threaten him.”"Rather than a disobedient person, it's better to have an obedient dog.
"Among the barbarians, more than one person can be the leader of the barbarians. Without you, the barbarians will still have to live.，" As long as Li Lu gets rid of the leader, the barbarians will no longer pose a threat to him. On the contrary, the barbarians will be controlled by Li Lu. As long as there is a new Hanzhong Prefecture, Li Lu can also send the barbarians to attack the city. Then, the new Prefecture will be sacrificed in the line of duty, so that Li Lu can continue to occupy Hanzhong. No one can affect Li Lu. Halfway through his sentence, the barbarian leader interrupted," Impossible. Su Gu still wants me to kill the next prefect. If I die, who will attack the city?" Who would kill the new prefect?
"The leader is also a smart person, so he should know that there's nothing impossible." The reason why it was impossible was because he didn't threaten Li Lu. After saying that, Cong Yang let out a long sigh. At this moment, the barbarian leader's expression was solemn. The honest and honest look on his face gradually faded away, and was replaced by an experienced, shrewd, and decisive look.
Seeing this, Cong Yang knew that he was talking about the barbarian leader.
His heart sank. As long as he added fuel to the fire, things would be more or less settled. Cong Yang didn't wait for the barbarian leader to react and continued," Leader, what I said just now was just the current situation of the barbarians. With Li Lu's help of food, armor, and steel knives, we can solve the problem of the barbarians in a short period of time. However, the steel knives will be damaged, the food will be exhausted, and the armor will rot. This is just a temporary solution." Perhaps the barbarians could become strong for a period of time, but it was not a long-term solution.
"If you want to be strong, you can only be independent.
"If you want to be independent, you have to leave the forest.
"Leaving this forest is the only way out for the barbarians.”The conditions I proposed were truly for the sake of the barbarians. As long as Ling is willing to help me kill Li Lu, after I take up my post in Hanzhong, I can divide a place for the barbarians to live in, so that the barbarians can have clothes to wear, food to eat, and land to cultivate. This will completely solve the problem of the barbarians drinking raw meat and blood. This is the long-term solution. Cong Yang spoke non-stop.
"The barbarians live in the mountains and forests. Although their lives are hard, they are free and unrestrained. If they became your people, wouldn't they be restricted by you and ordered around by you?”Cong Yang thought to himself, It's good that you're moved. His expression was calm as he smiled and said," Leader, you're thinking too much. When I first talked to the leader, I've already made it clear. The place where the barbarians live will be led by the barbarians. The customs and habits don't need to be changed. There's only one thing. I need to send an army to station there, and the power of the army will be in my hands.
