Chapter 1277 Fear of being bullied
Wuyuan is located between Hetao and Central Plains.
Since not all the people living here are from Central Plains, the architectural style is also very different from the cities in Central Plains.
Entering Wuyuan City, Cao Shuo asked the county magistrate: "How many people can live in the military camp in the city?"
"Go back to the young master." The county magistrate replied: "Wuyuan has been attacked by the Huns for many years, and the military camp here has been empty. Now that the Huns have come, we will open the city gate and let them in. As long as they do not kill, loot some things, or ruin some women, it is nothing."
Looking at the county magistrate, Cao Shu asked, "Didn't you ask the court for help? You can only let the Huns come?"
The county magistrate smiled bitterly: "Young Master also knows that there are no troops in the court nowadays? The Yuan family in Hebei has sent some troops to guard it, and has not sent troops here in the past two years. The people of Wuyuan have been suffering too much in the past few years!"
"The weak people in the court suffer, and there must be no civil strife." Cao Shuo said: "For so many years, we have been busy beating our own people, which has given the robbers the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. But now, I am here, and the people will no longer have to be idle with the Huns."
"Young Master is talking about it." said the county magistrate: "I heard that the young master led the army to come, and the people have been in a state of great enthusiasm. Although there are not many men left in Wuyuan County, they still want to join the young master's army and do their part in the army's battle."
"Gather the people who are willing to join the army and select some strong ones." Cao Shuo said: "When the winter cannot fight, I will let someone train them. With their own arms, the Huns will come in the future, and you will not be completely unable to resist."
"What the young master said is, I'll have someone to arrange it now." The county magistrate replied.
"There is no military camp available, where should my soldiers live?" Cao Shuo asked the county magistrate.
"Although Wuyuan does not have a large population, there are still many places to live." The county magistrate said: "If the young master wants, let the soldiers live in the homes of the people. Any people in any family will look forward to the soldiers coming to their homes to live."
"You said too, Wuyuan has not many men." Cao Shuo hesitated and said, "The soldiers under my command are all strong, what if..."
"It is also a pity by the Huns, and it is the same with their own soldiers." The county magistrate said generously: "The soldiers live in the homes of the people. As long as you like and I want to do so, why should the young master care about these?"
"It's the most intoxicating and gentle place." Cao Shuo curled his lips: "I'm afraid that the soldiers would live here for a winter and they would lose their strength to go to the battle."
The county magistrate smiled and said, "I heard that the young master brought troops to Hetao this time to let the Huns taste the taste of their women being robbed. With the Huns waiting for the soldiers in front, how could they linger in the small Wuyuan?"
"You are a good person to talk." Looking at the county magistrate, Cao Shu also grinned and asked Ma Teng and Han Sui on the side: "Two generals, what do you think?"
"Since the county magistrate said that, the soldiers were tired from going to the battle, so it was nothing to let them live happily for a winter." Ma Teng said: "Young Master and us don't have to worry about these things."
"Although that's the case, we still have to restrain the soldiers." Cao Shu ordered Cai Ji on the side, "Tell us our military orders and tell the soldiers of the three armies that during these days in Wuyuan, they will live in the homes of the people. Let them be diligent. In addition to practicing every day, they can help the people do more things at other times. Do not kill, steal, or forcibly defiled against the will of women. Those who violate military orders shall be killed!"
Cao Shu's last sentence should not be forcibly defiled against the woman's will, and it sounds very familiar to the soldiers under his command.
Once he said this, he was telling the soldiers that as long as the woman wanted, they would do whatever they wanted.
After receiving Cao Shuo's military order, the soldiers entering the city cheered one after another.
As the three armies entered the city, the people of Wuyuan came to the street one after another and watched the army passing through the street.
The soldiers under Cao Shu had bright armor, and even their battle robe was designed by Cao Shu, who specially designed them, and they were worn together and fitted with spirit.
The military orders for people staying in the city were conveyed, and the people stepped forward and invited the soldiers in the army to their homes.
The orders were already received, and the invited soldiers did not refuse and followed the people in groups.
With 100,000 elite soldiers and more than 200,000 civilians, the team gradually became thinner after entering the city.
Compared with the soldiers under Cao Shu, the Xiliang army led by Ma Teng and Han Sui were much less neglected.
The armor and clothes of the Western Liang army still maintained the style of the Han Dynasty, but the color of the battle robe was different from the red of the Han Dynasty.
The 80,000 elite troops under Cao Shu were almost invited, but the 20,000 Xiliang Army had not been completely invited away by the people.
There are still many civilians who follow the army.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the government, Cao Shu asked the county magistrate: "There are so many people left, so how should I settle down according to the county magistrate?"
"It will be like putting a few more people in each household." The county magistrate responded first, and then ordered the officials beside him: "Arranging personnel and dispatching all the remaining people to each household."
When the officials took the order and left, the Wuyuan officials were immediately responsible for settling down the civilians and soldiers who were not taken away by the people.
More than 300,000 people scattered in Wuyuan City.
Their total number is even several times larger than that of Wuyuan City.
Wuyuan City, which is not very big, suddenly seemed a little crowded.
Leading Cao Shu to the main gate of the government, the county magistrate bowed and said, "I will be wronged this winter, so I will give up the government..."
"Where is the county magistrate living?" Cao Shuo asked.
"What I gave up was the backyard of the government." The county magistrate said: "There are still some things in the city that need to be dealt with. The front yard must be kept. Please forgive me."
Cao Shu's eyes fell on the face of the Wuyuan County Magistrate, but he didn't move away for a long time.
The county magistrate was furrowed all over when he saw him, and lowered his head and said, "If the young master doesn't like me here, I'll find another place..."
"No, you just stay here!" Cao Shu said: "From entering the city to now, you have been polite and obedient. You must know that the more you do this, the more people suspect that some of them are celebrated. I just want to see something in your face."
Subconsciously touched his face, the county magistrate said with a wry smile: "Young Master is right, but Wuyuan is different from other places. I am afraid of being bullied here, and finally a big man is backing up. Of course, I have to take care of everything. If the young master thinks that I am too flattered, I will be afraid of being bullied..."
