Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

Chapter 30: Another Beauty Trap, Liu Feng Wants to Use the Barbarians
"No problem! No problem at all!"

When Bai Shou saw that Liu Feng actually regarded the 5,000 shi of grain as Ma Yu's resettlement fee in order to invite him to come out of retirement, he was overjoyed and answered directly on behalf of Ma Yu.

"Brother-in-law! General Liu has invited you so kindly. How can you disappoint General Liu's desire to recruit talented people?"

"I know you have been in the mountains for ten years, and you have always hoped to have the opportunity to serve as an official. Now you can follow General Liu to make achievements, which is a great thing."

"If you follow General Liu, you should also help your nephew in the future, so that he won't spend all his time catching chickens and playing with dogs in the mountains."

Bai Yong was dissatisfied and said, "Father, I didn't catch the chicken to tease the dog. I caught the bird to tease the wolf."

Bai Shou slapped Bai Yong again: "What chickens, birds, dogs, wolves, listen carefully and don't interrupt."

Ma Yu looked at Liu Feng with a complicated expression.

By saying this, Liu Feng not only cleared Ma Yu of the crime of leading the barbarians to steal military rations, but also enhanced Ma Yu's status in the hearts of Bai Shou and others.

Five thousand shi of grain as resettlement allowance is enough to support one's rapid rise to prominence.

Ma Yu originally didn't intend to stay in the mountains forever.

Now that the opportunity has come, Ma Yu naturally does not want to miss this rare opportunity.

Ma Yu also wants to regain the face he lost ten years ago because of his insistence on marrying a barbarian woman.

Thinking of this, Ma Yu took a deep breath and drank the wine in the bowl: "I am Ma Yu, willing to serve the general."

Liu Feng praised: "Shu Ping has a good alcohol tolerance!"

Having decided to join Liu Feng, Ma Yu was no longer reserved and invited him warmly: "It is getting late today, and the night is dark and cold. General, why don't you take a rest in the mountains for a day and have fun with us mountain people?"

Bai Shou also invited him, "Don't worry, General. Although my mountain is not as luxurious as the city, I will not neglect you."

Liu Feng had been trying to get closer to this group of barbarians, so he did not refuse and said, "The five hundred soldiers I brought with me are all fierce and fierce. If they are dispersed, they might disturb everyone."

"Please mark out a piece of land for me so that I can build a camp and station troops."

Bai Shou and Ma Yu were also worried that Liu Feng's soldiers would disturb the people in the mountains, so they agreed to Liu Feng's proposal.

He just invited Liu Feng to dance and sing around the campfire.

Bai Shou called Bai Yong privately again and said, "Go and ask your sister to prepare some pearls and jade tonight and dance in front of General Liu."

Bai Yong's eyes widened: "Father, you are not going to let my sister play the honey trap like my aunt did, right?"

Before he could finish his words, Bai Shou slapped him again and said, "What kind of honey trap is this? If you can't speak, then don't speak. Your aunt and your uncle are in love with each other."

Bai Yong was quite reluctant: "General Liu looks married at this age. My uncle said that after a Han Chinese gets married, he can only take concubines."

"I am just like clothes. You can give it away if you want. If you ask me to dance, isn't that like asking me to jump into a fire pit?"

"I dont go."

Seeing Bai Shou was about to raise his hand again, Bai Yong's neck shrank suddenly: "Father, please stop hitting me. If you continue, I'll be beaten into a fool."

Bai Shou withdrew his hand in dismay, and said with a look of disappointment: "How can General Liu's concubine be the same as other people's concubines?"

"General Liu is the adopted son of the King of Hanzhong. If the King of Hanzhong becomes emperor in the future, General Liu will at least be a king."

"Have you ever seen a king give away his concubines as if they were clothes?"

"Hey, did I really make you stupid? I am so smart, how come my son is so stupid?"

Bai Yong really couldn't stand Bai Shou's boasting, so he ran away when Bai Shou wasn't paying attention.

Bai Shou had no choice but to go look for his daughter himself.

A girl wearing pearls and jade, and whose clothes were also animal skins but were obviously more exquisite than those of others, was dancing in front of the campfire.

For example, Bai Shou’s fur coat is made of black wolf skin.

The girl's fur coat is made of white fox skin.

The most important thing is that the girl's eyes were always focused on Liu Feng, just like when she was dancing with Shen Shu in the past.

Looking at this familiar scene, Liu Feng couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Shu Ping, you have been in this mountain for ten years. Apart from Xiaoya, what books have you read to Chief Bai?"

Ma Yu couldn't help but hold his forehead and said, "I didn't read much either, just some miscellaneous books, haha, miscellaneous books."

"General, please don't be offended. This girl is Brother Bai's daughter, and her name is Su."

"Because she studied with me since she was young, she understands a lot of things. The men in the mountains are like mice seeing a cat when they see Bai Su. So much so that no one is willing to propose marriage to her even though she is eighteen years old."

"Brother Bai must be very anxious, so he resorted to this desperate measure. Haha, if the general doesn't like it, just ignore it."

Liu Feng's face became slightly serious. "Shu Ping, let's not beat around the bush. There will be a big change in Jingzhou soon. I need manpower, a lot of manpower."

"Although most of the people in this mountain are pale and thin, they are in good health. Now that we have food, we can gain some strength after eating for a while."

"If the people in the mountains are willing to help me, I can take Bai Su as my concubine and promise not to abandon her in the future."

Ma Yu's face changed drastically: "General, you just said that Jingzhou is about to have a big change. How big is this change?"

Liu Feng sighed: "You have been in Jingzhou for many years, and you must have heard about Lü Meng's surprise attack on the three counties in southern Jingzhou a few years ago."

"General Guan is now on an expedition to Fancheng, leaving the rear empty. I expect Lu Meng to launch another surprise attack, and this time his target will be the entire Jingzhou."

"In a month at most, Jingzhou will be in danger of collapse. This is why I want to transfer grain from Zigui to Fangling."

"That is why I am willing to make peace with the people in the mountains today and ask you to come out and help me."

Ma Yu's lips trembled: "So, I planned to rob your military rations and bring disaster to the people in the mountains."

Liu Feng shook his head: "Shu Ping, don't think too much. I won't force the people in the mountains to work for me. You can discuss this matter carefully with Chief Bai."

"It is said that it is easy to add flowers to a beautiful woman, but difficult to send charcoal in the snow. If the people in the mountains are willing to help me through the crisis in Jingzhou this time, in the future, as long as I, Liu Feng, have a bite to eat, the people in the mountains will not be short of a bite to eat."

"No egg is left unbroken when the nest is overturned. Shu Ping, this is the first test before I invite you out of the mountains."

"I am too tired to handle the alcohol today, so I will go back to camp and rest."

"I'll wait for your reply tomorrow morning."

Liu Feng pretended to be drunk and got up to say goodbye to Bai Shou.

Bai Shou also hurriedly stood up to see Liu Feng off.

After Liu Feng left, Bai Shou hurriedly asked Ma Yu: "Brother-in-law, does General Liu like Su Ji?"

Ma Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "Brother Bai, there is something important that I must discuss with you in detail."

Seeing Ma Yu's serious expression, Bai Shou also restrained his expression.

Ma Yu then truthfully told Bai Shou about Liu Feng's assessment of the future situation in Jingzhou and his intention to employ the people in the mountains.

Finally, he said, "Brother Bai, the battlefield is no joke. If we want to serve General Liu, how many men in the mountains will die in the future, no one can guarantee."
