Zhuge Liang was also quite surprised by Kou Feng's appointment, because Kou Feng didn't reveal anything in advance. .However, Zhuge Liang is also very human, but after a little surprise, there is no difference between the past and the present.

Today's Zhuge Liang has been sharpened, and he has shown the momentum and stability of the famous prime minister in later generations.It's like his performance as a servant can be seen.

Compared with Guan Zhong and Le Yi, he is a servant. Although he has real power, he is not a big official after all.But Zhuge Liang is also as calm as a mountain.

But now Kou Feng let him go out of the mountain to make contributions to the south.Pave the way for the future.Zhuge Liang was also very calm.

Zhuge Liang himself is very calm, let alone other civil and military matters.Only Dong He and Meng Da who stayed in Nanzhong fluctuated slightly.

The most shocking ones are probably these leaders.

Kou Feng's tone is already very obvious, Chu State is just waving their fingers, but they want them to lead their troops to crusade against the Five Kingdoms and the Six Divisions.Not slaves, population, but wealth.

This is a lucrative deal.

On the one hand, after the sixteen tribes of their five kingdoms went through cannibalism.If they win, they can establish a ten-nation country, which is relatively advantageous in calculation.

But don't forget that wars are meant to cause a lot of casualties.If it lasts, maybe more than half.For the overall power of the Five Kingdoms and Sixteen Departments, it is an absolute weakening.

The state of Chu took advantage of it and weakened their power by doing almost nothing.And reaped wealth.How much wealth do the rulers of the five kingdoms and the leaders of the six tribes have?

There is no concept, but gold is produced in the south, and there are many gems, emeralds, ivory, etc. The wealth is extremely amazing.Although wealth is of little use in poverty.

But the fool also knows that as long as he reaches the Central Plains, that wealth can be exchanged for countless grains.In other words, Chu State took the opportunity to fill the treasury again.

In addition, ten of their joint crusades against the five kingdoms and six tribes, even if they won, would have to surrender like Chu because of their own weakened power.

Afterwards, if the state of Chu has great ambitions, it can wipe away the affairs between them.Those envoys guarding the southern barbarians of labor and capital knew that they were not a good bird as soon as they heard it.

What is this? Kill three birds with one stone.

Killing two birds with one stone is already a very good harvest, but Chu State took advantage of this to kill three birds with one stone.It's really cheap.But these are the complaints in the hearts of the leaders of the ten departments, but they dare not speak out.

Not to mention, the leaders of the five kingdoms and six ministries have learned from the past.That is to say, after they go back, if there is no flag-waving from Chu State, they will definitely not be able to defeat the forces of the Five Kingdoms and Six Divisions.

Now Chu State is the real powerful country, they are just small countries and small people.

I am afraid that no one would have thought that the Sixteen Departments of the Five Kingdoms would come in such a aggressive manner, and this would be the result.Even Yang Feng didn't expect, at least he didn't expect that the forces of the Sixteen Divisions of the Five Kingdoms would be defeated so badly.

"I wonder if Your Majesty can give us some food support?" After a while of silence, none of the leaders dared to speak, and finally an older leader spoke cautiously.

Judging by his expression, he was more respectful than the officials under Kou Feng's tent.At least the ministers under Kou Feng's tent are all self-respecting and self-proclaimed ministers.

But this old leader is just like a pug, like a self-proclaimed slave.It's a bit similar to a slave country.

"Ah, the state of Chu is poor, so there is nothing we can do to help you." After Yang Feng translated, Kou Feng understood, ahed, and flatly refused.

Not at all tactful.

Everyone knows that the state of Chu is very rich.

However, this matter is not because Kou Feng is stingy, but because Kou Feng does not help foreigners, one does not help food, and the other does not help weapons.

Weapons are easy to talk about, but it is absolutely impossible to do things with the enemy, otherwise it would be too stupid.

As for food, there are two necessary conditions for the development of race.woman, food.A man can impregnate several women.

This is an inherent advantage, that is, the number of men can be less, but there must be more women.Only in this way can the branches and leaves be opened.

Therefore, Kou Feng wanted to kill the men of other races, save the women, and develop his own tribe.But killing a woman of a foreign race and merging into oneself is tantamount to weakening the fertility and reproduction ability of the foreign race in a disguised form.

The same is true for food.

After the sixteen tribes of the five kingdoms went through cannibalism, their power would definitely be greatly damaged.But the alien race has an advantage, that is, it does not kill women.So the number of women won't change much.

Although Kou Feng coveted, but after Meng Huo's battle, he had a little indigestion.So I gave up, but we must not allow the population of alien races to grow.

The second important thing for population growth is food.With surplus food, more people can be fed.Therefore, food cannot be given.

To fundamentally weaken a tribe is to drive people to even poorer places.Without something to eat, it slowly became extinct.

This is an unchangeable national policy in Kou Feng's mind.Therefore, no food will be given, even if it gives the impression of being stingy.

Yang Feng quickly translated Kou Feng's words, and immediately stunned the old leader who had just spoken and the others.Except for some vague understanding of the Han people.

They also learned that the Han people are a very generous race.If you surrender, they will support you.No matter what gold, silver and jewelry, money and food.Everyone has a share.

This is a widely circulated rumor.It implies that the Han people are Kaizi.However, this rumor is now self-defeating.It's really just a rumor.

How could the Han people be so polite.

As long as there is only a little food, and no specific amount has been proposed, he flatly refused.Maybe I just want to ask for a bite to eat.

Really impatient.

The old leader gritted his teeth in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.He didn't show anything on his face, instead he accompanied him cautiously, and said: "I'm the one who was abrupt, and I was the one who was greedy, please ask Chu Jun to make amends, to make amends."

A look of sincerity and fear.

Of course, this sentence was also translated by Yang Feng.

"Yeah." Kou Feng nodded, expressing that he didn't care.

Immediately, these leaders did not dare to make any more demands.The banquet has also really entered the right track, there are no more unruly eyes, no more chattering.

Only the good wine of Chu State, the good things of Chu State, and the absolute authority of the Chu State King.

The banquet ended quickly, and when the meeting adjourned, the leaders of the ten ministries all left together.From the look on his face, he knew he didn't want to stay for a moment.

It is estimated that some people's backs are still wet, and they don't want to come to Chu State in the future.

Kou Feng no longer frightened them, and sent his men to send them away.He also dispatched troops to wipe out all the lords and followers of the leaders of the five kingdoms and six tribes who had been killed.

"Kong Ming, Youzai, and Zijing stay here. The rest of you should go down and rest. It is estimated that tomorrow we will really go back to Chengdu." After finishing all this, Kou Feng glanced at the people in the hall and said.

"No." Everyone agreed and turned to leave.

Only Zhuge Liang, Dong He, and Meng Da remained.

"Kong Ming also heard it just now, and Gu intends to appoint you as an envoy to protect the Nanman. The duties are probably the same as those of the generals of the Qiang tribe and the Wuhuan, but they have no military power. But they can have staff. Between the countries, give the just now The surviving ten chiefs gave their ideas so as not to let them fail. You can also lobby them to open up a wide road and do business with us abroad. We can export luxury clothes, porcelain, tea and other local products to them. Import their gold , jade, etc. In the future, when Gu pacifies the north, there will be a direct road leading to the south, so Gu can lead the army to conquer. Therefore, the task is very heavy, and Kong Ming must be careful." Kou Feng said in a tone of trust and reliance , said to Zhuge Liang with a demeanor.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do my best." Zhuge Liang bowed down.

"There is no change in the powers of the two of you. However, Zijing, you must follow Kong Ming's opinion more when you send troops in the future. Don't be too reckless." Immediately, Kou Feng turned his head and said to Meng Da.

"No." Meng Da promised.

"Gu will leave tomorrow, and Nanzhou will be handed over to you." Finally, Kou Feng said.

"Your Majesty must live up to your expectations." The three said in unison.

Kou Feng smiled with satisfaction, Nanzhou has Meng Da, Zhuge Liang, Dong He, Yan Yan, Zhang Ren, it can be said that it is useless to deal with those Nanman, and it is hard to think about being strong.

Immediately, Kou Feng also sent them away.

In the hall, Kou Feng looked at the empty hall.There is some homecoming comfort.Chengdu, some time ago Chengdu was just defeated.

Now even Nanzhou has been captured and established.

The pacification of Hanzhong and Nanzhong also made Shuzhong more stable than ever. It was a newly acquired territory, but now it is the hinterland.

Train troops, feed horses, and lead troops northward to compete with the world.Shuzhong is the granary.

Thinking of this, Kou Feng smiled slightly, but he was really relieved.The Southern Barbarian War is over.

Early the next morning, Kou Feng led Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, Zhang Fei, Chen Da, Kou Shui, Wu Yi and other [-] to [-] troops, and the same number of barbarian women returned to Chengdu.

This year is the 17th year of Jian'an, winter.

The army attacked Nanzhong. Although the soldiers were brave and good at fighting, they had experienced life and death after all, and the pressure was quite high.On the way home, it's easy.

There were relaxed smiles on the faces of the soldiers, especially when they thought of the Nanman woman that Chu Jun rewarded after the Xiangnan War, they were all warm.

They also know that after returning to Chengdu, Chu Jun will reward them.

Although the two armies were at war, their lives were in jeopardy.But what you get is expensive.At least farming will not get so many benefits, and it also eliminates the Southern barbarians who have always been feared by people in central Shu.

Therefore, in addition to being relaxed, the soldiers also have a kind of high morale of returning home in triumph and returning home.
