Cao Shuo's thoughts and statements made Tian Feng feel inexplicably surprised. Flash Dance.

He had never heard of a woman in an army who was still responsible for treating the wounded or performing songs and dances to amuse the soldiers.

"I opened a school in my territory so that boys and girls can learn to read and write." Cao Shuo said: "In fact, these are not enough, if you want to increase the population, the best way is not only to encourage childbearing, but also to ensure that too many children will not die." ”

"Childe is really thoughtful." Tian Feng said: "There are many things that we people dare not think about and can't think of. ”

"Since my father won't let me go on the expedition, then I'll go back to Shouchun and tidy up the place." Cao Shuo said: "I want to open a hospital and open many institutions for the benefit of the people. Make the place I rule a paradise for adults. ”

"Childe has so many ideas, he must be able to make things happen." Tian Feng bowed and said to Cao Shuo: "The institutions opened in various places, we will also do in Youzhou. ”

Smiling slightly, Cao Shuo said: "With you in Youzhou, I am much more relieved." ”

"Childe, how to place the garrisons in various places?" Tian Feng asked.

"Youzhou is like Xuzhou and Qingzhou." Cao Shuo said: "There is no standing army, only a local army. It is necessary to use a large army and temporarily recruit military households and militias. 35xs”

"I see." Tian Feng responded.

He knew very well that Cao Shuo arranged this way in order not to let any place have too strong military strength.

Cao Shuo is still there, and the soldiers have an almost blind worship of him, and of course there will be no trouble.

However, once he is old, or has finally passed away, it is uncertain whether his children and grandchildren will be able to live in shock.

For the sake of long-term peace and stability, Cao Shuo's only choice was to cut off anyone's possibility of self-respect from the root.

Youzhou was attacked by Cao Shuo, and reconstruction has begun.

The materials transferred from Xuzhou passed through Qingzhou, and after being stripped by Xu Shu in Qingzhou, most of them could still flow into Youzhou.

At this time, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang had already fled to the Bandun army.

The brothers sat on a dirt slope and looked distractedly in the direction of Youzhou.

"I didn't expect Youzhou to be lost so soon." Yuan Shang said: "The second brother also said at the beginning that we are defending the city, and Cao Zirong is attacking the city. ”

"Where would I have thought that instead of letting the army attack, he would frantically stone us." Yuan Xi said with annoyance: "Cao Zirong is really a difficult character to deal with. Flash."

"I said a long time ago that he is not a good master, and the second brother just doesn't believe it." Yuan Shang said: "It's okay now, we can only go to Wuhuan and think about returning to Hebei." ”

"In recent years, many Hebei people have fled to Wuhuan to escape the war." Yuan Xi said: "You are the lord of Hebei, and when you reach Wuhuan, you will definitely be able to recruit a large army." As long as we have soldiers and horses, what can be the difficulty of returning to Hebei? ”

"The second brother can't help but look at things too easily." Yuan Shang said: "We have no soldiers and horses, and it is really difficult to say how many people we can recruit if we flee to Wuhuan." You must know that those people fled Hebei to stay away from the scourge of war. We went to Wuhuan to bring them back to Hebei to fight, how many people would be willing to follow? ”

"Kill those who don't want to follow." Yuan Xi said: "I still don't believe it, in order to survive, they refuse to follow us." ”

"Kill those who refuse to follow?" Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "If the second brother really does this, how can the soldiers be willing to work hard?" ”

"And what do you think we should do?" Yuan Xi asked: "Is it really true that you want to surrender to Cao Zirong?" ”

"If Cao Zirong is still willing." Yuan Shang replied: "What's not to do? ”

Tie Qing's face was blue, and Yuan Xi said: "If you want me to surrender, he has to return Zhen Mi to me......"

Staring at Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Yuan Xi asked in annoyance.

"I laugh at the second brother for not knowing the current affairs." Yuan Shang said: "Zhen Mi is now Cao Zirong's wife, Cao Zirong has always been famous, there are several things not to rob him. One is money, he is greedy for money and profit, always thinking about taking advantage of others, and everyone in the world knows it. The second is the territory, as long as the place is annexed by Cao Zirong, it will be even more difficult to let him spit it out! For him, the last thing he can't give up is women, saying that he is lustful, but he doesn't even bother to take a look at ordinary women, but if a woman who enters his back house, if anyone dares to covet it, he is afraid that he will be cut into powder immediately. The second brother put forward this condition, not to mention that he wanted Cao Zirong to agree, I am afraid that as soon as you say it, I will have to be killed with you. ”

"His woman?" Yuan Xi said with a gloomy face: "Joke, Zhen Mi was originally my wife who didn't pass through the door, and he used ...... means."

"So what?" Yuan Shang said: "He used means, but you didn't have a way to deal with it, so Zhen Mi was robbed by him." Now that she is Cao Zirong's woman, you have to be sideways, do you think we still have a way to live? ”

"Xianfu, you've changed recently." Yuan Xi asked, "Do you really plan to serve the Cao family?" ”

"If we don't serve the Cao family, what other options do we have?" Yuan Shang asked rhetorically.

"Don't forget how my father died." Yuan Xi said: "Don't forget who killed your mother? The culprit is the Cao family, what has Cao Zirong done for them? ”

mentioned Yuan Shao and Mrs. Liu, Yuan Shang did not speak again.

He lowered his head, and after a long time, he said leisurely: "What the second brother said, but what can we do now?" Hebei has fallen into the hands of the Cao family, and Youzhou has also become Cao Zirong's territory. If we don't surrender to them, can we still drive them out of Hebei? ”

"How do you know if you don't try." Yuan Xi stood up, looked into the distance and said, "I don't care how you and your eldest brother fought for Hebei in the first place, and I don't care who will bear the title of the lord of Hebei. I only know that my home is in Hebei, and it was because the Cao family snatched my home that I was exiled. One day, I will lead my army back and recapture Hebei from the Cao family! ”

"I'm afraid that we haven't prepared an army yet, and the Cao family has already caught up." Yuan Shang sighed and said to Yuan Xi: "It's not that I'm afraid of death, and it's not that I don't want to take Hebei back from the Cao family, it's just that we have ...... general trend."

While the brothers were talking, Gatton walked over to them.

"What are the two generals talking about, so cheerful?" Before he could get to him, Badon asked the two of them.

Yuan Shang turned his face to the side and sighed, while Yuan Xi arched his hand to him: "Why does the king have the leisure to talk to us?" ”

When he arrived, he found that the brothers' faces were not very good, and he said with some embarrassment: "It turns out that the two of you didn't talk very happily, but I read it wrong!" ”
