The joy of victory that had just defeated the Yellow Turban Army slowly faded in the hearts of everyone after Liu Xian's words.

In turn, they have a deep fear about their future.

Many things are indeed obvious.

Now that the current situation of the Han Dynasty has shown signs of troubled times, in fact, the current situation is not much different from the troubled times.

Beihai County can barely be said to be a couple. But this is also relative, until this time the Yellow Turban Army really hit Beihai City, they didn't know that it was dangerous, it was really dangerous, if it wasn't for Liu Xian to mobilize the people of their city in time, they really didn't know what kind of tragic fate they would face.

Among them, when Liu Xian mobilized the people of the whole city through the government, many people still disagreed, and even resisted the recruitment of the government, and did not plan to let their own caretaker participate in the Beihai garrison reserve army at all. Later, they also put off the matter of providing money and grain subsidies, and they didn't want to take money and food out at all.

But this has been all the way, until the Yellow Turban Army really killed outside Beihai City, they really knew that they were afraid, and they felt lucky, so they did not dare to disobey the orders of the government anymore, although they paid money and food, they were also much more happy.

Now, they're really worried about their fate in the future. What will happen to them if another army of the Yellow Turbans arrives in Beihai City? Can you still hold Beihai City? Can you still defeat the Yellow Turbans?

This time, they all saw very clearly that the reason why they could defend Beihai City and defeat those Yellow Turban Army was all because of Liu Xian. Defending the city is because Liu Jie, the Taishou of Beihai, listened to Liu Xian's suggestion, and even handed over the authority of being the Taishou of Beihai County to Liu Xian, so that Liu Xian's plan can be implemented to the letter, so that he can be ready to defend the city before the Yellow Turban Army arrives in time, and can he hold Beihai. Then, the people who really defeated the Yellow Turban Army were also Liu Xian's Liu Mansion caravan.

Let's put it this way, if the defense of Beihai City is the result of the joint efforts of the entire army and civilians in the city, then the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army is all dependent on Liu Xian, relying on Liu Xian's Liu Mansion Caravan Escort. The soldiers and civilians of their Beihai City were barely able to hold Beihai City, and they simply did not have the strength to defeat the Yellow Turban Army again.

At this time, it was really hard for them to imagine that when the Yellow Turban Army sent a large army to attack Beihai City, without Liu Xian here, without the escort army of the Liu Mansion caravan here, what would they do to defend the city and what would they use to defeat the Yellow Turban Army?

The Taishan Yellow Turban Army does have an army of hundreds of thousands, and this time they have suffered heavy losses, and they have formed an inextricable grudge with Beihai City. Comparing hearts to hearts, it is them who are replaced, and it is impossible not to retaliate when they have great strength and hundreds of thousands of troops.

"Liu Xiangongzi, this, this is really a problem. Otherwise, you'll just live in Beihai. Didn't you marry Master Kong Rong? It's your home...... Otherwise, our Beihai Di family is also a big family in Beihai, and we will also get married? Di has a little girl, twenty-eight years old......"

"Ahem...... Old man Di, do you still want to be shameless? ”

Zhou Chang coughed a few times at this time, interrupted the words of the old man surnamed Di, and said: "My great-grandson-in-law, but the young master of the Liu Mansion in Julu Liulin Village, is a relative of the Han family, and his family has a big business. Now he is the righteous son of Ma Guiren of the Plains Palace, which is equivalent to the young master of the Plains Palace. With so many industries to take care of, how could he live in Beihai City for a long time? Listen to what you mean, and you still want to recruit him as your son-in-law? Hmph, Kong Wenju didn't dare to have such a thought. ”

"Uh...... No, no, the old man didn't mean that, he just ...... will marry the little daughter of our family to Liu Xiangongzi as a concubine...... In this way, isn't the karma between Liu Xiangongzi and our Beihai deeper? Kiss on kiss? In this way, now that we are in trouble in Beihai City, Liu Xiangongzi will naturally not ignore it, right? ”

This old man Di, if he wasn't really frank, he would really be shameless, and he would dare to say these words in public.

Liu Xian didn't want them to be involved in other aspects, if they really opened this mouth, it was inevitable that in order to keep themselves here to help them defend the city, all these guys wanted to marry them, and when the time came, they would really want to marry a concubine who strengthened the company.

Liu Xian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Everyone, don't be too alarmed. Although the Taishan Yellow Turban Army is numerous and has an army of hundreds of thousands, it is not easy to send tens of thousands or even more troops and horses to attack Beihai City. In the near future, they will not invade the North Sea again, at least not for a short time. ”

"Oh? What is the basis for Liu Xiangongzi's statement? ”

"There is definitely a basis. You think, Mount Tai is thousands of miles away, and the Yellow Turban Army is not all together, they occupy the mountains as kings in various parts of the Mount Tai Mountains. Moreover, they did have to deal with the intrusion of the government from other quarters. So, in a short time, they will not come again. Even if they were to come, they would have to be able to gather good men, right? It is estimated that in a month or two, they will not be able to pose a real threat to Beihai City at all. ”

"Well, then, that's a lot more reassuring......"

After listening to Liu Xian's explanation, many people were greatly relieved.

"But what? Unless within a month or two, the imperial court will send a large army to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army of Taishan, or be defeated by other local officers and soldiers. Otherwise, they will definitely send another large army to attack the North Sea. Therefore, you have two months to prepare at most. ”

"Huh? Two or two months, ah......"

There was silence again.

Among them, many people are thinking in their hearts, why don't they take advantage of this time to move their families away? Leaving Butterworth City?

However, sometimes they don't just say they can go if they want to, not to mention, where can they go if they go? And how do you make sure they're safe in an unfamiliar place? And when they arrive in a strange place, what kind of livelihood will they have?

Among them, it is natural that they have a big family, but no matter how big the family business is, if they go to other places and have no source of income, they will also sit empty. Besides, the family is big, and how many people can give up the family business that their ancestors ran here?

Liu Xian knew that it was almost there, so he said to them: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. As the so-called soldiers come, they will block the water and cover the earth. With the experience of defending the city this time to deal with the Yellow Turban Army's attack, if the Yellow Turban Army invades again next time, we will definitely be able to defend Beihai City with the soldiers and civilians of Beihai City. ”

Liu Xian glanced around at them and said, "Didn't you notice? In fact, this time the defense of the city is actually all defended by the soldiers and civilians of Beihai City. I only mobilized everyone and gave you some orders, but in fact, it is you who are really defending the city. Therefore, as long as you deal with the Yellow Turban Army according to these experiences, even if there are more Yellow Turban Army soldiers who come to attack, you can still hold the city. “

"This ...... It seems that oh, the people who defend the city this time are indeed the soldiers and civilians of our Beihai City......"

"Then Liu Xiangongzi means ......"

Some of the people thought of the key and looked at Liu Xian and asked.

Liu Xian said solemnly: "I mean, in order to guard against the Yellow Turban Army that is very likely to attack again in the future, the Beihai City Reserve Army formed this time cannot be disbanded. Of course, this requires some streamlining. In addition to the 2,000 officers and soldiers of the original Beihai County, the reserve army defending the city had to keep about 20,000 men and horses. These 20,000 horses are the main force that will defend the city and defeat the invading Yellow Turban Army in the future. You have to use the time of the month or two to train the army and be ready for battle at any time. “

"Reserve the reserve army, 20,000 horses...... This ......"

The faces of some of the squires in Beihai City changed.

They immediately thought about the cost of raising the army of 20,000 horses.

Food, salaries, equipment, and so on. These are essential.

At present, it is only an army that has been temporarily conscripted and formed, and in fact it has no combat effectiveness to speak of, and it lacks weapons and equipment.

If you want to keep these centaurs, you have to improve a lot of things. If it's just some food, so many squires don't have any opinions, but what about other flowers? Who's coming out?

And the most important thing, who will this army belong to then?

You must know that among them, those soldiers are their family's caretakers, and if they stay to form an army, it will be the loss of their rich families.

"Under the fallen city, Ann has finished eggs?"

Liu Xian had already considered their various concerns.

Liu Xian will also show his strong side when appropriate. At this time, Liu Xian didn't care about the rich and powerful people in these places and what kind of forces in the north they had, although he was not an official now, he was better than the Taishou of Beihai County.

Therefore, Liu Xian said: "Beihai City is yours, your family is here, and your industry is here." Therefore, the responsibility of defending the city must also depend on yourselves. Otherwise, Beihai City will be broken by the Yellow Turban Army, and all of you will be ruined, whether it is ordinary people or you rich landlords of the scholar family, no one will be spared. Therefore, this reserve army must be retained. Of course, these horses are all the children of your Beihai people, and they are also guarding your Beihai City. Therefore, it is necessary to obey the orders of the government, and if there is no unified order, it will be difficult to resist the invading Yellow Turban Army. In addition, as for the issue of raising the army, these can be solved slowly through consultation. “

"In order to better defend Beihai, and even the entire territory of Beihai County, not only Beihai County should retain those people, but also the county towns below must set up a reserve army to defend the city. At that time, the defense of the city will start from the surrounding county seats, so that at least the Yellow Turban Army Commander will not be allowed to drive straight into Beihai County and directly kill him. Specifically, this son has already negotiated with Taishou Liu Jie, and it will be announced in the future, and I will discuss it with you. At a time of crisis in the North Sea, I hope that everyone can work together to deal with the difficulties. “

"Naturally, if any of you plan to leave Beihai City and go somewhere else, then the government will not stop you, and the people who belong to your family, your children, can be returned. It is estimated that the Yellow Turban will be a month or two later, and you can use this time to escape. However, to leave Butterworth City is to give up everything you have in Butterworth City. Your homes, fields, etc., we don't have the obligation to protect you, do we? Those who don't want to contribute to the defense of Beihai are not Beihai people. I hope you can understand this. Don't wait until the North Sea is safe and run back to claim your old property, that's impossible. ”

"Also, I have a suggestion that you can do the same if you want to." Liu Xian said, looked at them and said, "If you don't want to bear the cost of raising this reserve army, then you can let them all join my Liu Mansion caravan escort, so that I, Liu Xian, can bear all the cost of raising their army." However, in this way, they will not be counted as the garrison reserve of your Beihai City. I have the right to take the men and horses away, and I can transfer them to escort my son's caravan. ”

"This, this won't work, otherwise, let's raise an army through a joint venture by our people from Beihai City. After all, they are all our children......"

"You can discuss these with Liu Jietaishou, and this son will not participate. But I can make you a promise, if the Yellow Turban is strong, when you are really in danger, I, Liu Xian, will definitely come to help you defeat the Yellow Turban Army. This is also the main reason why Ben Gongzi suggested to keep the reserve army, after all, even if Ben Gongzi has the heart to come to the rescue, you have to defend the city first, otherwise, Ben Gongzi led the army to come, and you have all been defeated, so even if Ben Gongzi comes, it makes no sense, isn't it such a reason? ”

"Like...... That's what ...... a rationale."

……

Everyone exchanged their heads and ears, and in the end, they all decided to keep the reserve army, and the government was responsible for leading the training army.

Liu Xian was secretly happy, because in this way, he could raise a team of people in Beihai City without his own funds. This is handed over to the government, in fact, there is no difference from handing it over to yourself.

Next, everyone let go of the celebration, after all, this time it was indeed a big victory, which is worth celebrating.

Liu Xian found that the officers and soldiers of Beihai City did look well-trained, and it should be Zheng Qing's reason.

After three days of celebration, Liu Xian deliberately found Zheng Qing.

Zheng Qing now admires Liu Xian, and Liu Xian plans to strike while the iron is hot to see if he can be taken down completely.

In addition, Liu Xian also plans to meet his uncle Zheng Xuan through Zheng Qing.

Zheng Xuan should be almost sixty years old, which is a little older, but Liu Xian feels that if he is willing to go out of the mountain to assist him, then it will be a great help for him.

Through the memories he read in his mind, Zheng Xuan could live to 200 years, and now he can work for himself.

What's more, Zheng Xuan has so many disciples, it would be best if he could recruit a group by the way.
