Mi Zhi received the news brought back by the guards, and did not dare to slack off, and hurried back to Yongnu Mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Fang summoned Zhao Yun and other generals, informed everyone of the news, and said with a smile: "Shang Guogong also has a time to be suffocated, but although there is no danger for the time being, he has to be guarded against, what do you think?" ”

Fa Zheng was young, and laughed when he heard it: "This is a good thing!" The lord not only got the beauty, but also got a county seat, as long as we run it properly, it will be another city for our Yongnu Mansion. When the people were quickly moved past. ”

Liu Fang said: "This Xu Wu is too far away from Yongnu Mansion, although now many people from Qing and Ji have come to Yongnu under the recommendation of General Gan, but it is a little difficult for them to go to Xu Wu, and besides, people go there, what should they do to eat and drink?" It's the same without food. ”

Fa Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and said unconvinced: "Didn't Wuyan send a lot of cattle and sheep?" Let these people eat meat first, Xu Wuduo Mountain, there will be fruit on the mountain, this can also be top for a while, when the time comes, didn't Mi Dongjia come back from Qingzhou to transport grain? As long as you survive a year, you can grow food. ”

Zhao Yun said: "Let's not talk about these things first, although the lord is fine for the time being, he still has to send someone to protect him, I think let Shi Zhonglang quickly bring a hundred warriors to Xu Wu to protect the lord." Since this Xu Wucheng was given to the lord, he couldn't give it up at will, and he wanted to move two or three thousand people over, and there should be more brave among these people. As soon as something happens, these people can garrison the city to defend and mount their horses to attack the enemy! ”

When Zhang Nan heard that Liu Shi had a city, he designated himself to go over, and he was happy in his heart, accepted Liu Fang's arrangement, took more than 2,000 people, took a boat to Wuzhi, visited Wuyan Shan Yuhou, and went all the way to Xu Wu.

Wu Yan saw it and said secretly: "This Liu Fang really attaches importance to Liu Fang!" "Secretly smug.

Liu Shi looked at this Xu Wucheng and sighed.

Over the course of a few years, the city gates were dilapidated and the walls were damaged in many places.

Liu Shi asked the brigade to stay outside the city, and he took a few guards around the city, and then beat the horses into the city.

Xu Wucheng has four gates leading to four directions, the east leads to Liaoxi Lingzhi, the north to Junmi, the southwest to Wuzhong, and the west to Yuyang. There are mountains on all sides, and there is a flat land in the middle, which is not big and is cut off by a low ridge. Therefore, the fief given to Liu Shi by Wuyan can be said to be half-mountain and half-flat.

The city is not big, nearly four squares, three or four hundred zhang in length and width, many of the houses inside are still well preserved, just entered the city gate not far away, Liu Shi frowned, pointed to the front of a few courtyards and said: "Be careful that there are people inside, send a few people to check." Cheng Shan quickly went to organize a large group of men and horses to pay attention to defense. ”

Cao Xing said: "Lord! Your safety? ”

Liu Shidao: "I'm fine, it should be some homeless, I'm just worried that there are too many homeless, so I rushed out all of a sudden, startled Princess Wuyan, and caused unnecessary killing." ”

As he was talking, a guard ran up and shouted, "Who is inside?" Come out quickly, this place has been given by Wuyan Shan Yu as a fief attached to my family, and if you don't come out, you will attack it. ”

After several shouts, but no one answered, one of the guards opened his bow and shot an arrow into the house through the window lattice, and immediately someone shouted: "Don't let go of the arrow!" Don't shoot arrows! Let's come out! ”

Then a dozen people came out, all ragged and skinny.

At this time, dozens of guards came, including Wuheng people and Han people.

Liu Shi instructed the guards to "search carefully from house to house, not to let go of a single house, but also not to kill people at will, and drive them all out." After speaking, he came to the dozen or so people who had just come out.

"Who are you, and how are you hiding here?" Liu Shi asked sharply.

When these dozen people asked, they were scared in their hearts and didn't dare to speak out, and an older man stepped forward and said: "We are Xu Wu's people, when Wuheng and those heroes attacked the city, we hid in the mountains, and when we came back, we found that the city was empty, and we were extremely afraid, so we searched some daily necessities and entered the mountains, but it was snowing heavily at the end of last year, and I couldn't live in the mountains, so I secretly returned to the city, and prepared to go back to the mountains when the weather was warm. ”

Liu Shi thought for a moment, his expression softened a little, and said, "How many people do you have in this city, and are there still people on the mountain?" ”

The old man said: "There are about 500 people in the city, and I don't know how many are still in the mountains, but last year the snow was so heavy that many of the grass huts built in the mountains were crushed and there was nowhere to hide, so I had to go down the mountain to avoid the cold, or find caves to live." ”

Liu Shidao: "I am a Han from Zhuojun, and I am Wuyan Shan Yu's new recruitment of horses, and this place has been given to me by Wuyan Shan Yu as a fief, and I just need a large number of people to come to farm, so you can live here in the future." However, you have to obey the laws I have made, and pay taxes, which are roughly the same as the taxes of the Han Dynasty, and the specific amount will be announced in a few days. Now go and call them all! ”

An hour later, under the leadership of the old man, the entire town was searched, and there were more than 500 people in all.

Liu Shi mixed these more than 500 people with the hundreds of people he brought and arranged to live in an area, while he found the largest courtyard to live in, and naturally had the rest to be dealt with.

A few days later, Zhang Nan came to Xu Wu with more than 2,000 people, and Liu Shi appointed him as the chief of the entire fiefdom of the Marquis of Xu Wu's mansion, responsible for managing the farming, fruit planting, and tax collection of the entire Hou Mansion. Cao Xing was the commander of the guards of the Hou Mansion and formed a guard of 500 people. Liu Heng was the retainer of the Hou Mansion and was responsible for the internal affairs of the entire Hou Mansion.

And the Han slaves of more than 100 people were also brought to Xu Wu by Liu Shi, leaving Liu Zhen alone to guard outside the city, and Liu Zhen's younger brother Chi Li was recruited by Liu Shi as a personal guard to take with him, and at Chi Li's request, he was given the name Liu Ming.

In the following months, Liu Shi had nothing to do, and often took dozens of guards to Lingzhi County in Liaoxi County, and crossed the Great Wall in the north to hunt in Junmi.

At this time, Liu Shi once again stared at the Great Wall, and saw the majestic city wall as a giant dragon winding along the mountains and valleys, and sighed in his heart: "The deceased is like this, I don't know how many taxes it will cost to build such a Great Wall, and how many people will be levied." But the Great Wall is still there, where are Yan and Qin? ”

Dozens of guards saw Liu Shi looking at the Great Wall and didn't dare to make a sound.

After a long time, Liu Shi shouted: "Go!" Haven't hit the prey today? Let's go farther. ”

At this time, a personal guard stepped forward and said, "Report to the marquis!" Not far ahead, Junmi is Xianbei's territory. ”

Liu Shi said with a smile: "Where there is prey, we will go to fight, what about Xianbei's territory?" Boys! Do you dare to go hunting with me in Xianbei's territory? ”

When everyone heard this, they said loudly: "Dare! If Master Hou dares to go there, we will dare to go there! ”

"Good! This is my Xu Wu's good son, go! Let's go hunting. With that, he ran forward like a gust of wind.

"Master Hou! There seems to be a fight ahead! Liu Ming said.

"Oh! You go and see, go and go back. Liu Shi commanded.

After a while, Liu Ming ran back and said angrily: "In front, the Xianbei people are plundering our Karasuma people. ”

"How many people? Liu Shi asked.

Liu Ming thought for a moment and said, "About sixty or seventy people." ”

Liu Shi looked at Liu Ming's heart and said with a smile: "Do you dare to go with me to kill those looters." ”

When Liu Ming heard this, he said excitedly: "Dare!" ”

"Good! In this case, we will go and kill all the Xianbei people who dare to rob our Karasuma people, so that they will know that we Karasuma people are not easy to bully. After saying that, he took the lead in rushing forward.
