Looking at the Gu Gu who had been beaten to the ground at this moment, and was dragged into the car by several generals on the dying, Cao Xing's heart didn't mention how cool it was, but on the surface, he still had to pretend to be unfazed.

And Gao Shun didn't have much emotion, anyway, he now felt that what he should have done had been done, and he was just about to order to return to the army, but at this moment, Cao Xuan came up and stopped Gao Shun, Gao Shun looked back and asked Cao Xing what else was going on.

And Cao Xing smiled, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Gao Shun's hand: "Please also ask General Gao to hand over this letter to General Lu Bu by the way when he goes back." ”

Gao Shun didn't react much when he heard this sentence for the first time, but the generals next to him were stunned one by one, what kind of person is Lu Bu, that is the Fengyun figure among the military generals in Bingzhou, Cao Xing actually knows Lu Bu, and looking at Cao Xing's expression, he should still have some personal relationship with Lu Bu, many people are thinking, it is not the backer behind Cao Xing is Lu Bu, if they offend Cao Xing, it will be okay, many generals of the family are rejoicing, fortunately, they have not spoken against Cao Xing before, Otherwise, the fate of the current stubbornness will be their fate.

The things entrusted by Cao Xing belonged to personal relations, but Gao Shun did not refuse, nodded and took the letter, and then slowly took the soldiers and horses on the road.

Cao Xuan clapped his palms, and also returned to Bianyun County, and a few days later, Che Wu came from the east with a group of people. The clothes on the group of people looked tattered, their faces were yellow and thin, and they looked like people who had not eaten for a long time, Cao Xuan hurriedly asked Chen Hu to take the soldiers and horses to rectify the order, and let these people enter the city one by one.

Cao Xing also organized everyone to eat on the spot at the city gate first, and then fill their stomachs, and at the same time he also counted the number of these people, a total of more than 20,000 people.

The majority of them are men, about 12,000 or so, between the ages of six and sixty. Although many of them are young children and old people, but with this number, Cao Xuan is relieved, if you ask where these people come from, needless to say, they are naturally from the Black Mountain Yellow Turban.

Cao Xing only has a Bianyun County now, and it is impossible for him to earn so many people at one time, so he bargained with Zhang Yan for the first time and asked for more than 20,000 people, most of whom must be men.

Because in this world, whether it is tracking or fighting, men are needed to charge ahead, especially when troubled times are coming, and the demand for soldiers is even broader.

Although there are many young children and the elderly, but in this era is not as leisurely as in later generations, there is still a guarantee fund to receive when you are old, as long as you are not old enough to walk, you have to go down to work, so that you can support your own family, so for the first batch of people sent by Zhang Yan this time, Cao Xing is very satisfied.

He looked at Fengyun next to him and said, "Find someone to give the remaining 10,000 yuan to Zhang Yan and them!" ”

Feng Yun nodded and took the order, Cao Xing's deal with Zhang Yan can be described as mutually beneficial, but Cao Xuan was not ready to swallow all of Zhang Yan's people at one time, first of all, his own strength is not enough, chewing too much is not rotten, swallowing more than he can't melt, and when the time comes, it will hurt himself. What's more, Cao Xing is not ready to incorporate Zhang Yan's team, Zhang Yan's team has no formal establishment, it can be said to be a wandering army, since it is a wandering army, then it can do a lot of things in troubled times.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared at the corner of Cao Xing's mouth, and then he returned to the county office, and after two days, he finally recruited a letter from the party, Cao Xuan hurriedly opened the letter, this letter was Lu Bu's reply to him, Cao Xuan didn't expect Lu Bu to reply so quickly.

However, as soon as he opened the envelope for the first time, Cao Xuan was stunned, and the first thing Lu Bu said above was: "He is his mother!" ”

Cao Xing touched his head, feeling a little helpless, he didn't seem to provoke Lu Bu, why did Lu Bu scold him as soon as he came?

However, these things were put aside for the time being, Cao Xing continued to look down, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief, Lu Bu's prestige in Bingzhou was really extraordinary, although he scolded Cao Xing at first, but finally agreed.

But at this moment, Feng Yun and Chen Hu ran in excitedly, among which Feng Yun also hugged a large stack of books, and ran to Cao Xing excitedly and said.

"Big brother, in the past few days, I have looked through the regulations of the Han Dynasty on military merits overnight, you first repelled the Xianbei army, and then killed more than 10,000 Yellow Turbans, and then one person retreated to Zhang Yan's troops, the three major military merits are added together, if I am not mistaken, your credit can at least promote you from a county to the position of a county guard!"

Looking at Feng Yun's excited face, it seemed like he was five hundred in the later life, and he was generally excited, thinking about it, everyone was from a flat-headed common people, and in the past, a county guard or a taishou was already a great official position for them, so now when it comes to this, everyone's faces are extremely excited.

And Cao Xuan also smiled, and directly handed Lu Bu's reply letter to Feng Yun's hand, Feng Yun read it carefully, he didn't care about Lu Bu's words scolding Cao Xuan at the beginning, but he noticed a few lines in the middle, and he looked at Cao Xuan with a look of surprise and said.

"Big, big brother, what General Lu Bu said in his reply letter, your military exploits seem to have been sold to Luoyang, and Luoyang seems to value it very much, it is said that the holy decree is about to be issued, this, this, could it be that you are seated in the position of the county guard I just said!"

As soon as they said this, Feng Yun and Chen Hu were so excited that they almost jumped up, the general appointment of the county order can be directly appointed by the assassin Shi, however, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Dynasty's control over the local area began to become weaker and weaker, so the assassin did not want to care about the appointment of the county order, and directly pushed it to the county seat.

But then again, there are some things that still need to be done on the surface, such as the appointment of the county guard, which must be decided by the imperial court, and now according to Lu Bu, Cao Xing's merits have been reported to Luoyang, and Luoyang seems to value it very much, if it is not for the fact that there will be a holy decree in the near future, Cao Xing's position as the county guard is ironclad.

However, after being excited, Feng Yun still raised one of the questions he was most worried about: "Big brother, according to what you said, General Lu Bu also learned through his own channels that the imperial court may issue a holy decree to appoint you as the county guard, but then again, he didn't say which county to appoint you as the county guard, what if it wasn't Jiuyuan County!" ”

This is indeed a problem, after all, Cao Xing's foundation is in Bianyun County, and Bianyun County is in Jiuyuan County, if Cao Xing is really far away from Jiuyuan County, it may really have a little impact on his power, but after thinking for a moment, Cao Xing smiled and patted his two brothers on the shoulders.

"Don't worry about it for now, even if I am really transferred out of Jiuyuan County, won't there still be you? In short, the foundation of Bianyun County will not be lost! ”

Feng Yun and Chen Hu glanced at each other, and they both saw the word trust in each other's eyes.

"Come, don't worry about it so much, anyway, the holy decree hasn't arrived here yet, let's start with our affairs first!"

Cao Xing invited the two of them to sit down, and then entered the topic, in fact, Cao Xing wrote to Lu Bu, the main content of the letter is that Cao Xing said that the population of Bianyun County has increased a lot now, and he wants to expand the city wall again, and Lu Bu agreed to this matter.

In the past few days, Fengyun has also counted the population of Bianyun County, although after the Yellow Turban Army has completely faded, many people have relocated to their homeland and returned to their original places to continue cultivating, but there are also some people who have completely flowed down, such as the more than 20,000 people in the Yellow Turban in Montenegro.

Now the population of Bianyun County has more than 30,000, and it is about to be nearly 40,000, and a small Bianyun County may not be able to accommodate so many people, so the city wall must be expanded.

This time, Cao Xing is going to demolish the south wall and the east wall, and the scope of this expansion must be large enough.

As for the people who built the city wall, Cao Xuan already had a plan in his heart, so he took the two thousand yellow scarves that they captured, of course, only two thousand, Cao Xuan felt that it was not enough, and he selected more than 1,500 people from the people who came in again, a total of more than 3,000 people to build a new city wall together.

As for the rest of the people, according to the original policy, the government will help them implement the settlement policy as soon as possible, and distribute land so that everyone can have land to grow and clothes to wear.

And Chen Hu is still a county lieutenant in modern times, his duty is to train the troops frantically, and at the same time be responsible for the guards of the city gate, if there are still people who are willing to come to Bianyun County to settle down, then naturally those who come will not refuse, but Cao Xing also gave Chen Hu a wake-up call.

If those big families with their clansmen in groups want to enter Bianyun County, it is absolutely not allowed, and they will be excluded directly, and if it causes any consequences, Cao Xing will bear it alone.

Now Cao Xing has finally cleaned up the family in Bianyun County through layers of hard work, and he doesn't want Sega to come and make trouble for him.

And Chen Hu also agreed, and another month passed, and by the end of June, half of the newly expanded city wall had been completed. Cao Xing felt that the progress of the project could be slowed down appropriately, so he selected more than 2,000 strong men from the more than 3,000 people who built the city wall and incorporated them into the army.

At the same time, once the population increased, there was also good news from Cao Xing's family industry, Ma Fu reported to Cao Xing that now their family's handicraft industry is developing steadily and chaotically, and now there are more than 700 people in the family. As long as Cao Xing gives an order, he can expand to the surrounding counties at any time.
