Chapter 115: Newcomer in Huaihuang Town

"Everyone see, this is Huaihuang Town!"

After several days of trekking, the three thousand guards were exhausted. After a few days of travel, everyone got up and watched.

I saw a city built with yellow rammed earth standing on a green grassland.

When I saw the destination arrive, I thought of a meal that could fill my stomach and a place where I could sleep. The three thousand guards who had been running on the grassland for several days couldn't help but cheer in unison, sweeping away the fatigue.

At night, the smoke from Huaihuang City rose, filled with the smell of the cooked food.

The guards who had just arrived in Huaihuang Town did not enter the city directly. First of all, they were very reluctant to go to a nearby lake and forced them to take off their legs and bathe by the lake.

Among the three thousand garrisons, although there were family members, most of them were young and strong. There were only five or six hundred elderly, weak, women and children who actually brought their families to the family members, and were immediately pulled to another place to take a bath.

The guards thought there was delicious food to eat right away, but they didn't expect that there would be such a thing. They were unhappy at the moment, but when they saw hundreds of cavalry holding horse whips and staring at them, they had to be happy even if they were unhappy.

After traveling for many days, the guards were covered with dust. They rubbed off several loads of old mud, and they suddenly felt lighter.

After that, their bodies were covered with fleas and rags, and they were all scraped and piled up together.

The guards who had finished taking a bath were blown by the autumn wind and were immediately chilling to the bone. They were about to call the cold, but someone came to the side, with a large number of thick sheepskin coats.

The cavalry on the side warned one after another, saying, "One person, one piece, not many leaders."

The people who were able to wear new clothes suddenly put their old clothes on their bodies. Such sheepskin coats, except for the smell of sheep, were much better than those of the sheep-skinned clothes on their bodies and kept warm. Everyone was happy right now.

Later, the guards who had finished taking a bath were taken to the city.

Along the way, the cavalry repeatedly instilled in the garrison of the people and several rules in the city.

First, you are not allowed to urinate or defecate anywhere. You must go to a special toilet. Those who violate the order may whip for ten days or choose to work hard for ten days.

Second, no ** is allowed to tease women, and those who violate the order will be killed.

After the third night, a curfew is imposed, and no one is allowed to leave their respective garrisons. Those who violate the order can be executed immediately.

After hearing this, the guards all nodded. The last two items were still in the scope of understanding, while the first one was too difficult to understand.

However, looking at these fierce cavalrymen, no one dared to object.

The golden pancakes and yellow wheat cakes are stacked with hills. Several washbasins, large and delicious wild vegetables are filled with green and delicious wild vegetables. There are also several large wooden barrels at the feet next to them, including thick porridge and fragrant horse wine.

In addition, on the fire beside, several whole sheep were roasting, and the greasy gravy was constantly dripping into the fire, making a puff sound.

"Oh my grandma, I never dreamed of eating this kind of meal."

The guards all had their eyes bulging, their eyes shining, and they stared at the food on the table.

The champion Hou Kang was generous and trustworthy. Such a top-notch meal, just pancakes and wheat cakes, is enough for everyone to open their stomachs and eat well, not to mention the delicious food of wine and meat.

After everyone sat down before the meal, they all drooled.

On the stage, the new official appointed Yingyang Mansion Yingyang Lang General, the champion Hou personally won the title of the emperor, Li Chongjiu stood on the high platform, and had just introduced it. One was the Yueqi lieutenant Wang Ma Han, and the other was the infantry lieutenant Tan Zong.

Li Chongjiu picked up a large bowl of wine and said to everyone: "Everyone, I have traveled thousands of miles to Huaihuang Town to defend my country and guard the border for the country. I, Li Chongjiu, are not very grateful. I drink this wine here and thank you all."

After hearing what Li Chongjiu said, the men in the audience all raised their wine bowls and said, "Thank you, Guanjunhou!"

After a bowl of wine, everyone's fatigue was dispelled.

Li Chongjiu said, "The rules have been mentioned before, and I will not mention them anymore. Since it is a border town, all rules must be followed by military towns. Those who do not obey orders will not be punished once, those who do not follow hard labor, those who do not follow whipping twice, and those who do not follow 3 times will be executed immediately."

Listening to Li Chongjiu's words, the venue was silent.

"From the officers and soldiers, including me, they will treat everyone equally. There will be no deviation under military law. If you are careful to uphold military law, everyone will be at peace. If you don't follow, you will never be merciless under military law."

"I'm sure to listen to the order of the Champion Hou."

Everyone agreed in unison.

Seeing that everyone was convinced, Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "We will spend a long time together in the future, and we need to share the joys and sorrows. Today's meal was squeezed out of my belt from my belt in Huaihuang Town to treat you all. In the future, everyone will treat you the same as the people in the town. Everyone hopes to work together. Today, everyone will drink happily and never return without getting drunk."

After hearing what Li Chongjiu said, the guards cheered, and they couldn't wait to reach out to the pancakes and wheat cakes on the table.

Many people scoop a bowl of wine or porridge, swallowed a bite of cake and soup.

As for the large pot of wild vegetables on the table, they were even more vying for everyone in an instant, and they were wiped out. Then the woman wearing coarse cloth thorn hairpins served mutton and vegetarian dishes were constantly served on the table.

Most of the guards present were young and strong men. When they saw these women serving, they all stared at each of them.

Everyone was involved in military law and did not dare to act frivolously, but they did not stop them from watching their eyes and looking at them open.

Seeing this scene, Li Chongjiu shook his head with a smile, and Wang Ma Hanyan said, "Young man, oh, no, Champion Hou, you said most of the people are young men who are not married. You said you wanted them to hold the guy in their crotch and stay in Huaihuang Town for the rest of their lives, that wouldn't work."

Tan Zong laughed and said, "You are right. After this, you can only be a pair of the duke and the duke."

Seeing Tan Zong being rude, Wang Mahan laughed and scolded, "Are you monks all like this?"

"Straitor!"

Seeing that the two were about to turn against each other again, Li Chongjiu hummed heavily, and neither of them said nothing.

Li Chongjiu said: "Of course this will not be the case in the future. I will not allow them to tease women for marriage and children. But I can encourage them to marry the couple."

Li Chongjiu thought for a while and said, "In the future, marriage can be used as military merits as encouragement. If we make certain military merits, we can reward him with houses and fields, and help him marry him with a formal marriage and find a suitable family."

When Li Chongjiu first came to Huaihuang Town, most of the elderly, weak, women and children were under Li Chongjiu, and the ratio of men and women was seriously unbalanced. After burying a thousand young and strong men from Sogdian merchants, the ratio was finally harmonious. However, with the arrival of the guards, the ratio of men and women fell again.

Everyone has their own worries.

Moreover, the population in the town also surged. There were 6,000 refugees and 1,000 young and strong laborers in the past, and 3,000 new guards.

There are also Wang Mahan and Tanzong's cavalry and infantry soldiers with 500 people.

That's not all. The six businesses that have entered Huaihuang Town, more than 300 people, and the hundreds of refugees who have heard the news, are now more than 7,000 people in Huaihuang Town.
