In fact, many of Meng Huo's subordinates knew about the path found by the barbarian leader.

But this road is too narrow and very difficult to walk. Not to mention cannons, even horses are impossible to pass through.

When you pass through this road, you must be walking by people. The road is covered with thorns. If you are not careful, you may fall to the bottom of the cliff without any bones.

It was precisely because he was not worried that someone would sneak up from this road that Meng Huo did not arrange for the Warriors to guard it.

The subtle omissions have brought convenience to the barbarian leaders.

He is good at walking through the mountains and forests, and has walked through this road several times, and passes through it again like walking on the flat ground.

Jiang Wei’s camp is no longer in its original place.

When he arrived outside the valley, the barbarian leader rushed towards Jiang Weixin Camp.

When Jiang Wei learned that he was coming again, he said to Huang Zhong beside him: "General Huang had said earlier that Shamoke did not make any requests, so he really made a request to us."

"How did Bojo know that he is here to make a request, not something else?" Huang Zhong asked: "Isn't it something else?"

"The mines should have been buried, and we fire shells into the valley every day at the entrance of the valley." Jiang Wei replied: "In theory, there is no need for Shamoko to send someone to see me. At this time, someone came over, and I could not think of any other reason except asking us for benefits."

Huang Zhong thought about it and found that Shamoke really had no other reason to send someone over.

He asked Jiang Wei, "What are Boyue's plans to do?"

"Listen first, as long as it is not too much, I will agree on my lord." Jiang Wei said: "Samoke chose to make a request to us at this time, which is really a good opportunity to seize. If we don't agree, let alone those landmines that have been buried, even more than 300 warriors who entered the valley first will not be able to come back. If we agree, wouldn't we let him ask for a price all over the place?"

"Do you want to send someone to report to your lord?" Huang Zhong said: "The lord should have a better way to deal with these."

"It is inevitable to report. First, listen to what Shamoke will want. After we make a decision, we will send someone to Jiaozhi to inform the lord." Jiang Wei ordered the Wei army officer beside him: "Bring people here."

When the officer left, Huang Zhong, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, beside Jiang Wei, looked not very good.

The generals have a belief that if Shamoke follows Meng Huo as enemies of the Great Wei, he will sooner or later be destroyed by a prominent clan.

There was only one choice before Shamoke, which was to join the Great Wei Dynasty and break up with Meng Huo.

With this understanding, several generals felt that Shamoko was unacceptable and intolerable to seek benefits.

As the main general, Jiang Wei is somewhat different from their understanding.

He knew very well that Shamoko was willing to participate in the Great Wei Dynasty, but that he wanted to protect his clan after defeating Meng Huo.

In addition, it is of course better to get more benefits from the Great Wei Dynasty.

Looking at it from another perspective, if he was Shamoko, he hoped that he could carry forward the Wuxi Man after defeating Meng Huo.

At the same time, Jiang Wei also understood that Cao Shu would never allow the position of the Barbarian King to Shamoke.

So Cao Shu wanted to use troops to the barbarians once and for all.

After defeating Meng Huo, he gave Shamoke the position of the Barbarian King. After fighting for so long, the one who ended up getting the benefit was Wuxi Man. How could a person like Cao Shu who never suffered losses do such a thing?

He knew what Cao Shu's bottom line was, and roughly guessed what Shamoke wanted, so Jiang Wei decided to meet the leader of the barbarian.

The Wei army officer led the barbarian leader to Jiang Wei and others.

After giving Jiang Wei a big gift, the barbarian leader said, "I have met General Jiang."

"You're back, why are you here again?" Jiang Wei pretended not to guess what he was coming: "Can it be that something variable happened in the valley?"

"It's not that there are variables in the valley, but that my king wants me to see the general if he has something to do." The answer of the barbarian leader undoubtedly confirmed Jiang Wei's guess.

Jiang Wei still pretended to be stupid and asked, "Your king wants you to come. Is there something important to discuss now?"

"Maybe it is not that important to the general, but it is even more important to my king." The leader of the barbarian replied: "My king wants me to ask the general, what benefits can our tribe get from defeating Meng Huo?"

"I think it's something." As expected, the leader of the barbarian came here to seek benefits for Shamoko. Jiang Wei smiled generously: "I wonder what benefits your king wants?"

"Meng Huo has been in charge of this place for many years. If he is captured, he is afraid that the tribes will be in chaos." The leader of the barbarian replied: "My king is worried about the tribes, so he begged the general to report to the King of Wei. After defeating Meng Huo, he will give him the position of Barbarian King. I wonder what the general thinks?"

When Huang Zhong and others heard what he said, their faces were not very good suddenly became even more ugly.

Xiahou Yuan was about to speak, but Huang Zhong winked at her, and he had to swallow the words he said.

"Apart from that, are there any other requirements?" Jiang Wei not only did not change his face because the barbarian leader made an unacceptable request, but instead asked if there were other benefits.

The leader of the barbarian replied: "I heard that there are many sisters of King Wei. My king is willing to marry the Great Wei. I wonder if I can ask the King of Wei to fulfill his wish."

Marriage with aliens is also called marriage.

When the Han Dynasty was first established, in order to stabilize the foreign race, Taizu Liu Bang adopted the means of marriage and often sent the Han princess to marry the foreign race leader.

The same custom continued until the reign of Jing.

It was not until Emperor Wu succeeded to the throne and made full use of the wealth accumulated during the Jing Dynasty to strengthen the army and fight the Huns in a decisive battle, and ultimately forced the Huns to bow to Chen Chen, and the bad habit of marriage was stopped.

Later, as the Han Dynasty declined, the strength of the alien race gradually grew, and marriage was opened again.

Although marriage is a means to obtain peace, both officials and the people hate this method.

Giving women to foreigners in exchange for peace brought shame to every original person.

The leader of the barbarians proposed this condition, but Xiahou Yuan could no longer hold it back and suddenly stood up.

He was about to scold him, but Jiang Wei winked at her.

Seeing Jiang Wei's eyes, Xiahou Yuan had to sit down again angrily.

"There are only these two conditions?" Jiang Wei had already determined that it was impossible to agree to the conditions proposed by the barbarian leader, but he still asked again.

"In addition, my king also wants to ask the King of Wei to send some wealth and food." The leader of the barbarian said: "Since wealth and food are exhausted, I hope the King of Wei can send some here every year."

"I already know what King Shamoke asked." Jiang Wei said: "I send someone to report to my lord, but the war is important and we must not delay it."

"My king said that if the general cannot make a decision, he needs to report to the King of Wei. I will wait here." The leader of the barbarian said: "When the King of Wei gives a reply, then go and report to the King."

Jiang Wei did not give a definite answer, and the leader of the barbarian refused to go back immediately. Huang Zhong and others, who were already angry, all glared at him fiercely.

"It takes a lot of time to go back and forth here." Jiang Wei said: "The war is right in front of you. For this small matter, will King Shamoko miss the opportunity to fight?"

"The general said that, my king cannot afford it." The leader of the barbarian replied: "We have always formed alliances, and both sides must be sincere to achieve it. If the King of Wei does not give any benefits, and the king and Meng Huo are enemies, wouldn't the warriors die for no reason?

It was not the first time that the leader of the barbarians and Jiang Wei met him. Jiang Wei knew him a little, and knew that this person was good at speaking and could correct some fallacies.

He said to the leader of the barbarian: "It's not that I can't make the decision, but it's better to give the prophet lord. If I make the decision, if the lord doesn't agree, but I have to follow it because I agree so much, will I cause trouble for myself?"

"General Jiang is indeed right. Since the general cannot make the decision, I'll wait here." The leader of the barbarian acted as if you wouldn't agree to me and wouldn't leave, clearly forcing Jiang Wei to agree to the conditions he proposed.

Jiang Wei thought about it and said to the leader of the barbarian: "I agree to all the conditions you have made, and I will send someone to report to my lord. If the lord thinks it is inappropriate, I will guarantee your king with my wealth and life. What do you think?"

I thought Jiang Wei would bargain with him, but I didn't expect that he would agree to all the conditions so readily. The leader of the barbarian suddenly regretted it and should have more.

But the conditions have been put forward. If some other things are added, if Jiang Wei is angry, the benefits that were originally obtained may not be gone.

The leader of the barbarian was also quite tactful. He said to Jiang Wei: "A general is willing to achieve such a situation for my king. My king will definitely help his tribe members and give Meng Huo for the general!"

*********************************************

Jiang Wei agreed to all the requests made by the barbarian leader in one go.

The leader of the barbarian left with satisfaction and returned to the valley to repay Shamoko.

Huang Zhong and others were all full of anger.

"How could Bojo agree to these conditions?" Huang Zhong said to Jiang Wei in annoyance: "With my understanding of the lord, he will not agree to the three conditions even if he has the same conditions."

"I also know that Shamoke is the same and can't get it, so I agreed immediately." Faced with Huang Zhong's questioning, Jiang Wei smiled indifferently: "I only said that I would protect Shamoke with my life, but I didn't say how much it could be. Isn't it use my promise to his conditions? If the lord doesn't agree, it's all a waste?"

"But Boyue agreed, and the lord refused to do so at that time. Wouldn't it be a real person?" Xiahou Dun also said: "I also think Boyue's handling was inappropriate."

"It is me who actually contributes to the people, not my lord. It is me who breaks the trust of others, not my lord." Jiang Wei asked Xiahou Dun: "General Xiahou believes that if a mere lord general can exercise power on behalf of his lord?"

Xiahou Dun was stunned by his question, and didn't know what to say.

Having understood what Jiang Wei meant, Huang Zhong's anger faded a lot.

He asked Jiang Wei: "Is Bojo really going to bear the charge of breaking trust? If Bojo refuses to agree, we will not be able to overcome Meng Huo."

"There must be a solution, but it will not be as fast as it is now." Jiang Wei said: "My lord has been in Jiaozhi for many days. Although it was pacified, there are still many things to do. Especially the unification of the country, the Han Dynasty has disappeared, and the lord has not yet been promoted to emperor. The so-called country cannot be without a king for a day. We cannot let the lord stay here for a long time because of the mere southern barbarians, and delay the great cause of becoming emperor. Isn't it our sin?"

Jiang Wei mentioned Cao Shu's proclaimed emperor, and several generals stopped saying a word.

For the Great Wei Dynasty, Cao Shu’s proclaiming himself emperor was indeed the top priority.

If the expedition to the Southern Barbarians was delayed for too long and Cao Shu became emperor, everyone present would inevitably feel guilty.

The reason Jiang Wei found was something that the generals could not argue.

Huang Zhong had to change his way and asked him: "Did Boyue think of how to tell his lord?"

"The generals don't have to worry about it anymore. I will take on this matter alone." Jiang Wei did not answer, but stood up and smiled at them: "Please also urge the generals to prepare. As long as the signal comes from the valley, we will advance immediately."

Seeing that he didn't want to say much, Huang Zhong and others didn't ask much, and they stood up to respond.

After Huang Zhong and others left, Jiang Wei greeted the Wei army officer: "Send someone to Jiaozhi and report all my promise to Shamoke to the lord."

The officer received the order and arranged for people to go to Jiaozhi to report to Cao Shuo.

Cao Shu, who was in Jiaozhi, received the news from Jiang Wei three or four days later.

Jiang Wei's army had entered the valley early and was preparing to launch a decisive battle against Meng Huo.

I learned from the messenger sent by Jiang Wei that Shamoke's request and also the reply Jiang Wei gave, Cao Shu waved his hand and signaled the messenger to leave first.
