Chapter 961 Peace?
"Mulu, why did you say that?"
"Do you want to compromise with Bai Feng?"
Zhu Rong couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said.
King Mulu did not reply to Zhu Rong, but looked at Bai Feng calmly:
"General Bai, do you really want the people of Nanzhong to live a good life?"
Bai Feng nodded slightly, without comment.
King Mulu immediately understood and looked at Meng Huo.
Meng Huo sighed quietly:
"You might as well talk about it."
Meng Huo was fed up with the current situation.
No matter what, it can't go on like this forever.
If this delay continues, if people outside cannot find Bai Feng, who knows whether they will act independently and massacre all the soldiers and people under their command?
Meng Huo believed that these Central Plains soldiers would do this kind of thing.
Meng Huo would not believe a word of Bai Feng's absolute trust.
King Mulu narrowed his eyes, looked at Bai Feng and said:
"General Bai, I believe in your character."
"If you had any intention of harming us, I'm afraid you would have done it long ago."
"But it's Cao Cao we don't believe, it's the Wei Dynasty."
"Then what Cao Cao said is high-sounding. Who knows if he will use us barbarians as slave colonies and let us work. How will the food end up in our hands?"
Bai Feng smiled calmly:
"You don't have to worry about that."
"Now the Wei Dynasty has abolished the slave system."
"Even maids and guards are just jobs, and there is no slave status."
"Let alone keeping you as slaves."
"As for food, there will be no shortage in the entire Wei Dynasty."
"The food in Hanzhong alone is enough to feed the entire Wei Dynasty, let alone other states and counties."
"So, it's impossible to pay tribute to food."
King Mulu shook his head heavily:
"General Bai, this is just your one-sided statement."
"You know, even if the king agrees to you, do you think other people will believe it?"
"Since General Bai has chosen to come to our Nanzhong, how come he doesn't know about Nanzhong?"
"Nowadays, many cave owners in Nanzhong are dissatisfied with the king because of the severe drought in the past two years."
"There are only a few of us who are willing to follow the king, and there are some who are against the king."
"As for the rest, most of them choose to be alone and protect themselves."
"Has General Bai thought about this?"
Hearing this, Meng Huo looked at King Mulu with shock.
this?
This kind of thing is a secret in Nanzhong. How could it be told to Bai Feng?
However, when he thought about it again, Meng Huo could only sigh and let it go.
Although this is called a secret, as long as Bai Feng wants to investigate, I'm afraid it will be made public.
There are more and more cave owners who do not believe in their abilities because of the severe drought.
They only think about how to feed the people and soldiers under their command, and do not care about the life and death of other people.
Although what Bai Feng said is quite tempting, whether it is a good thing for Nanzhong as a whole remains to be discussed.
"In this case, I can vouch for you."
"If Wei wanted to turn Nanzhong into a slave, how could he just send me?"
Everyone looked at Bai Feng, their expressions becoming solemn.
"In that case, I have thought of a compromise. Your Majesty and General, would you like to listen to it?"
King Mulu slowly spoke.
"But it doesn't matter."
As Bai Feng spoke, he slowly put down the green sword in his hand.
At this time, Bai Feng had no need to hold Zhu Rong hostage anymore.
After all, this was not Bai Feng's original intention.
Zhu Rong looked at Bai Feng suspiciously at first, but finally felt relieved.
In fact, it's not that Zhu Rong doesn't want to consider Bai Feng's opinion.
Now that everyone is planning to have a good chat, Zhu Rong will definitely not deal with Bai Feng so unwisely.
What's more, she also knew in her heart that even if she picked up a spear and attacked Bai Feng now, she might not be able to hit him.
Zhu Rong had never seen it before, but now that he had seen Bai Feng's strength, he had chosen to give up.
Regarding Bai Feng, Zhu Rong really had no confidence that he could deal with him.
"According to General Bai's intention, he wants to establish a cooperative relationship with our Nanzhong, right?"
"General Bai does not want Nanzhong to start another war with the Central Plains, and we also want to have food to eat."
King Mulu slowly spoke.
Bai Feng nodded calmly and signaled King Mulu to continue.
After King Mulu understood Bai Feng's intention, he pursed his lips and continued:
"In that case, it's easy to handle."
"Both of us give the other an insurance policy."
"Your Majesty, we can fully assist General Bai and persuade the various ministries in Nanzhong to agree that the Central Plains will take control of Nanzhong."
"As for General Bai Feng, he is now reporting directly to the Emperor, who issued an edict to establish the entire Nanzhong as an independent state and county."
"Not only that, all the barbarians in the south are treated the same as the people in the Central Plains. This edict declares it to the world."
"And we only need to retain some of the habits and habits of the original barbarians, but we will never make a living by robbing like before."
"If that's the case, is that okay?"
What King Mulu said was the best solution he could think of at the moment.
When Meng Huo discussed with several people before, he had already told everyone everything that Bai Feng had shown him.
Therefore, King Mulu was quite looking forward to this.
After all, King Mulu did not want Nanzhong to slowly perish on its own.
If there was a way to compromise with the people of the Central Plains, it would be great.
Bai Feng looked at King Mulu quietly without saying a word.
The same was true for Meng Huo.
In fact, the matter raised by King Mulu had no effect on Bai Feng at all.
Bai Feng had already informed Cao Cao of this matter in a letter before coming.
Cao Cao's attitude was also very simple.
The Nanzhong barbarians were different from other barbarians, but they had many conflicts with the people of Bashu.
And these conflicts had existed in the Han Dynasty before.
Although the Nanzhong barbarians were called barbarians, they were originally native people of the Central Plains, but their habits were different from those of other places.
If they could be recruited, Cao Cao would naturally be happy.
As for the requirements they put forward, they did not conflict with Cao Cao's ideas.
Therefore, it was not impossible to do so.
However, now it depends on Meng Huo.
Judging from Meng Huo's expression, this kind of thing is not so easy to solve.
