Cao Xing immediately ordered Xu Shu as the commander and marched east with soldiers and horses, but not to fight Yuan Shao, but to guard Yanmen County, the situation in Yanmen County is a bit complicated, its surroundings are not only bordered by Yuan Shao's territory, but also bordered by Zhang Yang's territory, Cao Xing's order to Xu Shu is that whether it is Yuan Shu or Zhang Yang, they are not allowed to enter.

Xu Shu heard this, took the order and left, at the same time a letter from Cao Xing, also overtime flew to Changshan, Zhang Yan and others immediately set off after receiving this letter, by Pan Feng with a group of Yellow Turban Army, perennial ambush in the mountains and forests, as long as they encounter Yuan Shu's transport team, direct attack, seize food for their own use.

When Pan Feng and the others succeeded for the first time, Cao Xing directly replied to Gongsun Zhan, and he had already sent troops. And Gongsun Chan was really overjoyed when he saw this.

After that, Cao Xing entered its most critical link, led 15,000 soldiers and horses, and led Chen Hu, Hu, Che'er, Zhoucang, and Jia Xu to the west, Cao Xing's goal was only one, that is, Xihe County.

When Cao Xing's soldiers and horses hit the border line of Xihe County, Cao Xuan did not hesitate, and directly ordered Chen Hu to take the cavalry and take the lead, like a fierce tiger, and pierced into Xihe County, and Chen Yu of Xihe County, when he heard the news of Cao Xing's large-scale invasion, it is said that the whole person was taken aback, and the teacups in his hands fell to the ground.

Especially when he heard Chen Hu's name, he was immediately frightened and hesitated, after all, Chen Hu's appearance of fighting to the death was still deeply reflected in his mind at this moment.

For a while, Chen Yu was frightened, and he was a little at a loss, but it was he who was at a loss to win an opportunity for Chen Hu and others, Chen Hu did not hesitate, and directly took a large number of soldiers and horses to conquer the three cities.

This news is definitely a great news for Cao Xing's army, and the army's heart is even more excited, but for Chen Yu's army, it is definitely a fatal blow, at this moment Chen Yu is paralyzed on the ground, I don't know why, and even the letter of help he sent to Zhang Yang, the assassin of Bingzhou, has not been heard back for a long time.

In just one week, the entire Xihe County fell into a panic, Cao Xinggang wanted Chen Hu to increase his strength and completely scare Chen Yu, but at this moment, Jia Xu actually took the initiative to apply to Cao Xing and let him be a lobbyist, which would definitely allow Chen Yu to give up the archers of Xihe County.

When he heard Jia Xu put forward this suggestion, Cao Xuan was stunned, why did Jia Xu think that his three-inch incorruptible tongue could move others and surrender, and let Jia Xu be a literati who was in danger alone, if he couldn't come back, Cao Xing would lose a lot.

However, Jia Xu was resolute, and in the end, Cao Xuan had no choice but to nod, but Cao Xuan also sent Che Wu with accompanying guards, and he must protect Jia Xu in the open and in secret.

Even Cao Xuan personally led the army to the outside of the county seat of Xihe County, and just like this, he saw Jia Xu enter the county seat of Xihe County, and Cao Xuan has been waiting anxiously since then.

What Cao Xuan didn't expect was that the waiting time was not very long, in less than two days, the city gate of Xihe County was really opened, Chen Yu took a group of officials under him, went out of the city to greet him, and finally prostrate on the ground to show his sincerity, while Jia Xu came out from behind, touching his Bazi Hu Yangyang.

Cao Xu also had to admire this Jia Xu, his ability to perceive people's hearts was really extraordinary, maybe he had been studying this Chen Yu for a long time, and Jia Xu could also see that Cao Xu definitely had the intention of sending troops to Xihe County, so he made preparations early in the morning, so he had today's harvest.

Because the situation at this moment is more special, therefore, when Cao Xing occupied Xihe County at the first moment, he began to implement his new policy, the new policy touched the interests of many families, Cao Xing also gave these families enough way out, let them make a decision within a week, of course, some families did not do it, so they surrendered to Cao Xing, but they wanted to go to Cao Xuan to reason, but Cao Xing smiled, and directly asked the guards to stop them outside.

Therefore, these families, who are usually high up and invincible, kicked the iron plate this time, and had no choice but to move their families.

As for the remaining small number of families, they are not so impulsive, they choose to compromise with Cao Xing, who is also very tolerant of these people who know the times. He discussed with Jia Xu overnight, and finally selected an incumbent official from a small family, because the official's family background is not strong, so he is quite honest as an official. So it's best to let him be the new Xihe County Warden.

However, although it was said that the people of this small family became the head of a county, Cao Xuan also equipped him with a man to supervise him, and that was Chen Hu.

If you ask Cao Xuan why he arranged Chen Hu here, the reason is very simple, Cao Xuan is not ready to stop there, he is ready to continue to go west.

Cao Xing's last advice to Chen Hu was to let him lead his soldiers and horses to garrison here, not only to keep an eye on the newly appointed county guard, but also to prevent Zhang Yang and others from suddenly coming to sneak attack.

Chen Hu patted his chest and said to Cao Xing, before Cao Xuan came back. I will not let others step on half a step. With Chen Hu's guarantee, Cao Xing was much more relieved, and in the end, he directly took Jia Xu and others to continue westward. However, when Cao Xing left, he still stayed in Xihe County for half a month. It wasn't until half a month later that Ma Bo and others arrived here. So Cao Xing took people and started his process.

Of course, many people expressed some incomprehension of Cao Xing's westward expansion, after all, in the west of Xihe County, it is a desert, and it can also be said that it is a territory with a clear back, an endless desert, and nothing can be seen.

Therefore, Cao Xing's approach can be described as unprecedented, and it is exactly the case, when Cao Xing and Jia Xu and others came to this land, they saw a gray field, and the hot sun shone on this land, and there was not even a general stationed here, and it seemed that the Xianbei people didn't care much about this land.

However, Cao Xing smiled. He directly summoned Ma Bo, and then asked Ma Bo: "The Great Wall in front of our Jiuyuan County has been repaired!" ”

Ma Bo nodded and replied, "The preliminary process has been completed, at least Xianbei wants to enter the country again, it is not so easy!" ”

Cao Xing nodded when he heard this, then pointed to the ground in front of him and said, "Ma Bo, please take people with you, take the same horizontal line as the benchmark, and build the Great Wall in front of here, it is best to connect with the Great Wall of Jiuyuan County!" ”

As soon as Ma Bo heard this, he felt a little embarrassed in his heart, and he could only say to Cao Xing: "Lord County Guard, the construction of the Great Wall is a very difficult matter, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources, as well as time investment, I am afraid we don't have so many resources!" ”

What Ma Bo said is indeed a problem, but Cao Xing is going to decide on this land, so Cao Xing immediately sat down and discussed with Ma Bo about how to deal with these things, first of all, Cao Xing got so much money and food from Yuan Shu from Luoyang, so in terms of military salary, Ma Bo does not have to worry, as for manpower, Ma Bo did have to suffer Ma Bo some time ago.

But in the back, there will naturally be more people, Ma Bo asked Cao Xuan a little puzzled, why, and Cao Xuan smiled mysteriously.

Of course, the rest is about some workers, and the construction of the Great Wall is so huge that it will not be easy to build. So Cao He and Ma Bo discussed it for three days and three nights, and finally came up with a plan, and now the city wall no longer needs to be piled up with Sanhe soil like before, and can be directly cemented.

Stacking a wall with cement is much more convenient than triple soil, not only is it easy, but it is also strong.

Of course, Cao Xing also knew that building the Great Wall was an extremely hard job, perhaps no easier than fighting, so Cao Xing gave every worker treatment, not only food and shelter, but also meat, and the salary was also quite generous.

Cao Xuan even went to the construction site in person, looking at these workers, bare-chested, carrying generations of bricks with their powerful shoulders, Cao Xing's heart moved, he immediately looked for someone, first made two wheels, connected a bearing behind him, and placed a huge box on the bearing, which is equivalent to the most rudimentary transport vehicle.

However, using this rolling friction instead of sliding friction can indeed save a lot of effort. This also greatly reduces the amount of labor required by the workers. Even Cao Xing initially arranged two shifts, and two groups of workers were replaced, so that everyone could get rest, of course, this is still not much compared to later generations, but because of the restrictions of the times, Cao Xing did only that.

In this way, the army followed Ma Bo and others all the way to the west, during which they encountered many tribes of the Xianbei Qiang people, and they watched Cao Xing build the Great Wall to their doorstep, and one by one naturally did not cover it, so they rose up to resist.

However, Cao Xing's army is here, where can they be allowed to spread wild, Cao Xuan directly subdued all these Xianbei people who were not convinced with a rapid momentum.

Cao Xuan still continued to use the previous means, first left these dissatisfied people in the captive camp, let them take a good look for a while, if they are willing to stay here, Cao Xuan will treat them as his own people, and join the team to build the Great Wall, of course, if you are unwilling to join Cao Xing, Cao Xuan did not kill this time, and directly let them go back, but most of the tribes are gone, what to take back, so most of the people expressed their willingness to surrender to Cao Xing, after all, here in Cao Xing, there is wine and meat, why not?

Ma Bo's workers gradually increased, and the speed of building the Great Wall became faster.

From receiving less than one mile a day, the side road can be repaired for several miles a day, and finally to more than ten miles of road, and after a month, Cao Xing's territory seems to have become a lot bigger.

Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is a wasteland is a wasteland, but what Cao Xing wants to say is that how can there be abandoned land in this world, it's just that no one cultivates and no one governs, and he Cao Xing wants to turn this endless desert into an oasis.
