Jia Xu did not return to Xudu, he just ordered a few people who came with him to bring Cao Shuo's meaning back, and he stayed by Cao Shuo's side.

When he went on the expedition, Cao Shuo took Tian Feng with him, and now there is another Jia Xu, and his strategist camp has grown a lot.

In order to crusade against the Xiongnu, Cao Shuo brought several fierce generals under his command.

Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Chen Zhi, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Ran and others are all there.

Wei Yan, Gao Shun, Ju Yi, Ji Ling and others stayed in Shouchun.

Whether it is defensive or offensive, Cao Shuo's army is now an iron bucket.

The use of so many soldiers is actually not Cao Shuo's intention.

If it weren't for the conquest of the Xiongnu, he would probably have been able to break through the Yuan family, and he would not have shown such strength to the outside world.

Let people see his strength too early, and even Cao Cao may be a little wary of him.

After all, he is only the son of the Cao family now, not the Cao family.

Throughout the winter, Cao Shuo and his men used a lot of charcoal.

At first, the charcoal was still transported by the people who brought it, but these people were also from Jianghuai and the Central Plains, and they could not bear the cold.

Dressed as thick as a bear, there are still many people who suffer frostbite in the cold winter.

Fortunately, the long winter is about to pass.

Gradually the frozen earth has blades of grass pulling out buds.

Spring is coming back to the Loop, and with each passing day, the temperature is warmer than the day before.

Cao Jun returned to training.

After the whole winter, a special scenery appeared in Gohara Castle.

The school-age women in the whole city have more or less bulging bellies.

Standing on the school ground, looking at the soldiers who were practicing, Cao Shuo's eyes fell on the crowd of onlookers.

Just by looking, there were several pregnant women in the crowd.

Because there are more women than men, the number of pregnant women is even higher than the total number of men onlookers......

"In a few months, there will be a lot of new people in Wuyuan City." Cao Shuo whispered to Tian Feng on the side: "The soldiers are working very hard this winter. ”

"Did Childe ever think that sooner or later the soldiers would have to be evacuated, these pregnant women ......" Tian Feng asked, "Could it be that when we come back, we will take them away too?" ”

"I'm afraid it's enough." Cao Shuo pursed his lips: "There are several soldiers living in each family, and I am afraid that even they themselves don't know which kind of soldier they are pregnant with." ”

"It's a mess." Tian Feng shook his head with a smile and said, "If this matter is publicized, I'm afraid the reputation of the son will not be too good." ”

"I'm going to send some troops to stay in Wuyuan City." Cao Shuo said: "After subduing the Huns, they will easily no longer be enemies of our Cao family." The city is located on the border of the Hetao, where we can also raise horses. From now on, our war horses will not have to spend money to buy them from others. ”

"Childe means ......" Tian Feng seemed to understand what Cao Shuo meant.

"I mean it very simply." Cao Shuo said: "Occupy Wuyuan City, and let these original residents help us raise war horses." If they keep the horses well, I'll give them an extra reward. For so many years, it is not easy for the people to live, can they be allowed to exchange food through their own work, change to a good house to live in, and change to good clothes to wear, can they still be happy? ”

"What about the newborn children?" Tian Feng said: "Without a father, can these children grow up smoothly......

"Absolutely." Cao Shuo said: "Later, I will send an order that all women who give birth to children for our soldiers, whether they are male or female, I will withdraw money from the treasury to make up for them." Let them not have to worry about the money for raising children, but also let them be able to raise their children well. Although I don't have a father, these children have me, and I am the father of these fatherless children in Wuyuan City! ”

As soon as Cao Shuo said this, Tian Feng understood that since the army entered the city, Cao Shuo had made a good calculation.

Let the people receive the soldiers to live in their homes.

Grateful that the soldiers are going to crusade against the Huns, most of the women who have been bullied all year round will have something to do with them.

From the introduction of the county guard, Cao Shuo and others knew very well that the women in Wuyuan City had been tortured by the Huns and had no shame.

Since there is no shame, instead of doing that kind of thing with the Huns, it is better to let the soldiers of your family feel the same feeling as at home.

As the winter progresses, many of the women in the city become pregnant......

Tian Feng just didn't expect that Cao Shuo had been making such calculations since he first entered the city.

Although the people of Wuyuan City do not have a sense of belonging to the Cao family now, once the children are born, they will still be raised by Cao Shuo, and the people will be very close to the Cao family.

Even if there is no need to send troops to garrison, Wuyuan has also become the Cao family's land, not to mention that Cao Shuo will leave some soldiers and horses to defend here in the future......

"Childe really has a way." Tian Feng, who had figured it out, whispered to Cao Shuo: "The soldiers have occupied a city without blood......

"Who said it was bloodless?" Cao Shuo said: "The soldiers have been fighting hard all winter, but the fight on the battlefield is to kill, but the fight they did this winter is to create people." ”

Tian plump head black line.

The kind of fight that Cao Shuo said, if it is put on anyone, I am afraid that it will go forward and die one after another......

You don't even have to beat the drums of war......

The soldiers were practicing, and the crowd of onlookers let out a burst of applause from time to time.

Cao Shuo was watching the soldiers who were training, and Ma Teng and Han Sui walked over.

When they arrived at him, after the two of them saluted, Ma Teng asked: "The weather has warmed up, dare to ask Gongzi, when will you attack the Huns?" ”

"Don't worry, two generals." Cao Shuo said: "The soldiers under your command are all elite of Xiliang, and they are used to the cold of the north. But none of my soldiers have ever seen such a cold weather, but for my soldiers, the warmth is still not enough. At least we have to wait for about half a month before we can attack the Huns. ”

"Childe shouldn't have come directly to Wuyuan in the first place." Ma Teng said: "In winter, the heavy snow closes the road, let alone fighting, and even the march is difficult to ......."

"And when should I choose?" Cao Shuo asked with a smile.

"Summer." Ma Teng said: "The water and grass are abundant, and the horses are also fat......"

"I don't have many soldiers and cavalry under my command, and the thinner the horses, the better it is for us!" Cao Shuo said: "After surviving the winter, waiting for the spring flowers to bloom, it is a good time for our army to exterminate the Huns!" ”

Ma Teng and Han Sui were stunned.

Cao Shuo said to Cai Ji on the side: "Pass the order, let the soldiers step up their training recently, and let the people transport more grain and grass, and in a few days when the weather is warmer, we will enter the Hetao and attack the Huns." ”

Cai Ji responded, and quickly ran to the place where the soldiers could hear the shouting: "The prince has an order, the soldiers should step up their training, and the people will transport more grain and grass, and wait until the weather is warmer to launch an attack on the Huns!" ”
