No. 215 Fortified Walls

Fortunately, the person who came to Pengcheng this time to implement the plan of clearing the wilderness was Liu Bei, facing Guan Yu, even Zhuge Liang had to concede three points, but even if Guan Yu was arrogant, in the face of Liu Bei, it was Guan Yu who gave in.

Liu Bei saw that Guan Yu was so opposed, he sighed in his heart, but he didn't say anything to reproach him, just asked him to only train soldiers from now on and build a strong camp outside the city to deal with Cao Cao's army that was about to invade Pengchengguo. Guan Yu could only let Liu Bei take over everything in the county, he held his breath in his heart and put all his thoughts on military affairs.

Guan Yu knows very well that only in this battle, he fought beautifully and played with prestige, will the eldest brother trust himself more, instead of continuing to listen to the bullshit of the ignorant boy who is thousands of miles away.

The first step in clearing the wilderness was not to organize people to harvest the unripe grain in the fields, but to organize people to transfer the old, young, women and children from the entire Pengcheng State and some of the counties under Peiguo.

But when it came time to implement it, the situation changed again.

It turned out that the people of Xuzhou heard that Cao Cao was going to attack Xuzhou again, this time, there was no panic in their hearts, only hatred, so those old men who were in the ranks of the migrants asked Guan Yu for their lives, they wanted to stay and follow Guan Yu to fight against Cao's army.

Even if the cities in Xuzhou that were slaughtered by Cao Jun were almost all killed, they always had relatives and friends who were still alive, so almost all the people of Xuzhou had a blood feud with Cao Jun and Cao Cao.

In the past, when they heard Cao Cao's name, they only had fear in their hearts, but now, Guan Yu's appearance brought them courage. Guan Yu did a very good job of this.

Guan Yu treats his subordinates well, and he also treats the people under his rule well, because Jian Yong is a fellow villager who has always followed his eldest brother, and the two are old acquaintances, Jian Yong knows Guan Yu's character, and he lets this Guan Yu in everything, so the cooperation between the two is quite tacit. In the first year of Jian'an, Guan Yu's ability to govern the local area has made great progress.

Guan Yu immediately reported the matter to Liu Bei, and after thinking about it several times, Liu Bei finally decided to listen to the opinions of these people, and all the old men who were willing to stay could stay temporarily, but no one should be forced to stay, and everyone was left to their own choice, as for women and children under the age of fifteen, they must all leave.

For Liu Bei's decision, the soldiers and people of Peng Chengguo were only grateful in their hearts. Because, they know that Liu Bei did this so that those who were responsible for staying in Pengchengguo would not have any worries, if Tao Qian did the same at the beginning, presumably Xuzhou would be able to survive many innocent people!

As a result, the people of the entire Pengcheng State, some Peiguo and Lu counties and townships actually organized spontaneously, brought their families with their mouths, abandoned all the bulky things at home, brought their own clothes and all the remaining food, and began to march towards Xiapi City.

At the beginning, Liu Bei listened to Jin Jue's opinion and handed over to him the choice of the three chief officials of the county orders, county lieutenants and county officials under Guan Yu's rule, and although Guan Yu himself had a very big prejudice against Jin Jue, when choosing, he also had to listen to Jin Jue's advice and choose some low-born officials and soldiers to serve as the three chief officials of each county.

Therefore, the ability of these people may not be very strong, but these people are down-to-earth, and after working for a long time, their ability will also be improved, especially those county orders or county officials who were born are relatively strong in organizing and coordinating the people.

Therefore, without Cao Jun being aware of it, the counties under Guan Yu's rule began a great migration.

Liu Bei handed over this matter to Jian Yong to deal with, and he himself ordered people to concentrate all the blacksmiths and carpenters in the county in Pengcheng County, and began to follow the sketch of the sharp weapon for harvesting crops drawn by Jin Jue, the so-called sharp weapon for harvesting grain is to put it bluntly, it is a sickle, Liu Bei also began to make a large number of sickles in Pengcheng, and the time is pressing, not only Xiapi and Pengchengguo are doing this, but even Donghai County, Guangling County and Gushi County, where Zhao Yun is located, are also doing this.

During this period, it was clear to the county and state ministers that training soldiers was important, but the timely harvest of food in the controlled area was the most important thing.

……

"Liu An, your kid is actually here with Liu Yuanjun, why don't you return to Luoyang County in time? You kid doesn't know that during this time, there has been no news from you, and your uncle is dying. If it weren't for the lord to stop him, this time, he would definitely come to Xuzhou to find you in person. At this time, in Xiapi City, the person in charge of receiving the envoy sent by Jin Jue this time was actually Liu An, so as soon as the Xuzhou soldier named Zhang Long saw his face, he asked angrily.

This Zhang Long was not originally called Zhang Long, his original name was no longer testable, at the beginning, when the hundred Xuzhou soldiers followed Cheng Lian and Li Feng to join Jin Jue, Jin Jue gave a name to one of the tun chiefs and three chiefs. Coincidentally, the four of them happened to be surnamed Zhang Wang Ma Zhao, so Jin Jue gave them the name of Siyong of Kaifeng Mansion.

And that tun chief is Zhang Long.

Jin Jue said that the people under him, from the scholars to the ordinary soldiers, are free to stay and go, so Zhang Long is so angry, not because he feels that Liu An has betrayed the lord, but because he sees that Liu An is living so well in Xiapi City now, he feels that Liu Shan, a man, is so worried about this uncompetitive boy, it is simply too worthless.

"Ahh Brother Zhang Long, it's really not that the younger brother deliberately stayed here and didn't leave! Liu Yuanjun insisted on leaving the younger brother here to help them burn bricks and tiles, build houses and fire kangs, and the younger brother thought that Gongzi and Liu Yuanjun were friends and could help them, so he stayed. The work was done a long time ago, but at that time, the cold and snow closed the road, and I originally thought that I would leave in a few days, but I didn't expect you to come first. When Liu An heard this, he felt a little weak in his heart, and hurriedly explained.

Liu An did plan to leave in the near future, but Wen Rouxiang held his soul, and Liu Bei rewarded him with two young and beautiful women in order to reward him, so Liu An was reluctant to leave until the beginning of spring.

Zhang Long naturally didn't know about Liu Anxin's twists and turns, and after listening to his explanation, his face softened a little.

Zhang Long and Liu Shan are good friends, because Liu Shan has strong ability to do things, and there are many people who do things for Jin Jue, but Liu An is the only one, and all the tasks are 100% completed several times, which makes the people who originally defected to Jin Jue admire him very much.
