Cao Shuo's worries were completely unnecessary.

The king of Benhan has been killed, and even half of the former slave owner of Benhan in the whole of Benhan does not exist.

Those who dared to resist were all killed by Cao Jun, and now Benhan, all that remains are those slaves who were oppressed by slave owners.

Cao Shuo's arrival opened the shackles on their bodies.

Although he is of a different race, the Benhan people are still grateful to him, and many of them have sworn allegiance to the Han.

The occupation of Benhan was not long, but Cao Shuo already had experience in governing Shouchun and other places.

Little Benhan, he can still handle it.

Free slaves were given the means of production and land.

In the past, they worked to create more wealth for the slave owners.

Now, however, they are working in the fields so that their families can live a better life.

Without exposure to these changes, the slaves were not yet loyal to Cao Shuo.

Life has changed dramatically, and as long as the Benhan people pay a small amount of taxes to Cao Shuo every year, more of their income belongs to them.

From the past when there was no food and life could be taken away at any time, to being able to eat a full meal now, life has simply changed dramatically.

Even if the army withdraws and the descendants of King Benhan return to the land, the slaves who have been unchained will surely come forward and save what they have gained!

There will be nothing wrong with Guo Jia staying here.

Two days later, Cao Shuo took Cao Zhang and Guo Zu and led the army to Datian.

Guo Jiaze, Deng Zhan, and Zhu Ao stayed behind.

Walking along the streets of the city, every place Guo Jia and the others walked to, pedestrians would bow to them.

Looking at the humble appearance of the pedestrians, Deng Zhan said: "Gongzi is also too careful, how can anyone in Benhan today try to be unfavorable to Guo Gong?" ”

"General Deng is right." Guo Jia replied: "Leaving the two generals behind is also a piece of Gongzi's kindness, how can I disobey him." ”

"It seems that Childe has never trusted foreign races." Zhu Ao also said on the side: "The Benhan people are very docile, and it is much easier to attack here than when we attacked Izumo. ”

"The Benhan people are not docile either." Guo Jia said: "Some of them actually still have some backbone, but they are too weak, so weak that anyone can conquer them. And did the two generals find out that the Benhan people are very selfish, and most people only think about their own interests. They are short-sighted, and whoever gives a little benefit can be treated as if they were their own father. If Benhan hadn't treated people as slaves and could have slaughtered them at will, Childe wouldn't have gotten here so easily. Childe didn't believe in the Sanhan people, but he didn't know that the Benhan people had already regarded him as a father. It is true that there will be rebels who kill their fathers, but as long as they are human, how many will do that? ”

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao both nodded in agreement.

Guo Jia continued: "Gongzi went to Datian, and it will take more than ten days to come back, to say the least, we have something to do these days." ”

"What is Guo Gong going to do?" Deng Zhan asked.

"Recruit Benhan warriors." Guo Jia said: "The Samhan Army will be formed, and the Sanhan Army will be the main force in the future, so that the officers and men of our army will no longer need to charge into battle, as long as they urge the Samhan people to fight in the back." ”

"Didn't you recruit quite a few before?" Deng Zhan said: "When the Benhan rebellion was crusaded, most of them were fought by their own families. ”

"It's not enough." Guo Jia said: "Before a large number of migrants from Liaodong came here, Sanhan was still a foreign race after all. It was not until Liaodong and Samhan moved their populations to each other, and all the registered populations were recorded as Han Chinese, that it could be truly stabilized. ”

"I see." Deng Zhan asked, "What is Guo Gong going to do?" ”

"I wish the general to follow me, so that the son will not come back to blame." Guo Jia said: "General Deng issued a document to the entire Benhan to recruit soldiers from the three armies. Those who are willing to join the army are treated like soldiers of our army. ”

"I really don't understand whether I came to Samhan this time to conquer them or improve their lives." Deng Zhan said with a smile: "As soon as the notice comes out, I'm afraid that the soldiers of the Three Koreas will be recruited immediately." ”

"Don't be old and weak, don't be young." Deng Zhan said: "As long as we have elites in the army, we won't spend money to feed for nothing." ”

"I get it." Deng Zhanying said: "I'll do it, Guo Gong just rest assured." ”

The notice was posted, and as Deng Zhan said, many Benhan people were conscripted into the army that day.

Outside the barracks, Deng Zhan sat behind a table and sipped his tea.

Sitting at the table, a master bookkeeper registers the Benhan people who have come to sign up.

Several soldiers inspect the constitution of Benhan, who intends to join the army.

Most of the Benhan people who came to join the army were slaves, and only a few were free people who could not afford to buy slaves before.

The physique of the free people is fine, the slaves are shriveled and thin, and many of them are not qualified according to the standards of Cao Jun's recruitment.

A Cao Jun came to Deng Zhan, bowed and said, "General Deng, we have checked many people who have joined the army, and their physique is really poor. ”

"How?" Deng Zhan looked up and asked.

"These people are very shriveled and don't have much strength on them." The soldier replied, "They have been hungry for too long, and even if they eat better in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to ......."

"Tell Guo Gong about this." Deng Zhan gave an order to the soldier.

The soldier retreated.

After a while, Guo Jia came with Zhu Ao.

Seeing him coming, Deng Zhan got up to greet him.

"Guo Gong." Arching his hand, Deng Zhan asked, "Did the soldiers truthfully report the situation here?" ”

"It's been reported." Guo Jia said: "I also thought that this would be the case for a long time. ”

"It's all unusable waste, does Guo Gong still plan to use them?" Deng Zhan asked.

"If we follow the recruitment criteria of our army, I'm afraid few people will be selected." Guo Jia said: "It's better to be like this, all the three Koreans who come to join the army, except for the old people and children, don't be too short." Everyone else was assigned to the camp first. Let people tell them that staying is not a soldier in the army from now on. They have to be trained, and they have to get their physique up as soon as possible. After a month, the selection will be made, and those who can be selected will be issued with weapons, and they will truly become officers and soldiers in the army. ”

"How much food do you have to feed these idlers?" Looking at the long queue of soldiers, Deng Zhan said: "After raising it for a month, it's good to be able to stay." If you can't keep it, won't you be blind to the best rations? ”

"Pick one out of ten, and we'll earn it." Guo Jia smiled slightly and said to Deng Zhan: "Those who are not selected, they can also be incorporated into the military household village according to the practice of the prince in the Central Plains." ”
