The trial proposed to ask Yuan Shang to send someone to Beihai to see Cao Shuo.

Yuan Shang asked, "Who does the judge think is appropriate?" ”

"I'll go." Without thinking about it, the judge said: "It's better for Childe to let anyone go than for me to go." Yuan Gong was captured by Cao Zirong, and the eldest son must also send someone there. When Cao Zirong came to Yecheng, I also had contact with him, and I had some things to say to him. ”

"If the judge goes...... Yuan Shang frowned and said, "There is one less person around me who can come up with ideas......

"Hebei outstanding people, I don't necessarily have to die if I go this time." The judge hugged his fists and bowed, thinking that Mrs. Liu and Yuan Shang saluted and said: "If you can get some talk from Yuan Gong, it is also justifiable for the son to inherit Hebei." ”

Yuan Shang wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Liu had already taken over: "Since the trial is considered appropriate, let's go." ”

Guo Tu and the trial rushed to Beihai successively.

Cao Shuo handed over the occupied Qingzhou to Xu Shu, and he did not withdraw his troops immediately.

Yuan Tan was still preparing troops and horses in the plains, and the Qingzhou generation did not do a good job of defense, and the easy withdrawal of troops would only bring pressure to Xu Shu.

A large amount of money and grain poured into Qingzhou from Xuzhou and other places.

Villages are being built everywhere.

Some military villages have also come into being.

In the battle of Cangting, Cao Shuo captured many Yuan family soldiers.

The elite soldiers were incorporated into the standing army, and more Yuan family soldiers were scattered and disrupted and placed in various military villages.

Almost everyone of the Yuan family who was settled down asked someone to send letters to their hometown, wanting to bring their families to Qingzhou.

New villages appeared almost every day, and captured Yuan soldiers entered the new military household villages every day.

The military village here is different from Xuzhou and other places.

The military households built by Cao Shuo in Xuzhou and other places are all descendants under his command, and there is no need to pay attention to sending people to supervise them.

And the military villages in Qingzhou are all prisoners in the First Battle of Cangting.

In order to avoid problems in these military households, Cao Shuo ordered the transfer of some more military households from Xuzhou to exchange some of the prisoners captured in the Battle of Cangting.

A new round of migration took place between Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

Outside Beihai City, there is a military village entrance that has just been completed.

Looking at the newly built house, Cao Shuo asked Xu Shu, who was following him: "How long does Yuanzhi expect it to be completed, and all the military villages around Beihai can be completed?" ”

"Two months at most." Xu Shu said: "The key is not the formation of military households, the most important thing is that the military households transferred from Xuzhou can mix with the prisoners in the Battle of Cangting as soon as possible." If all the villages were occupied by prisoners from the Battle of Kurating, I was not sure that I would be able to hold Beihai. ”

"Yuan Zhi can't trust them?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I can't believe it." Xu Shu said: "Not long after they joined the son, many people's homes are still in Hebei. I have ordered that a letter be sent to their families, and that all their families should be relocated to Qingzhou as soon as possible. As long as their families arrive, this place will be completely safe. Until then, maintaining stability will require a descendant under the command of Childe. The soldiers who followed Gongzi at the beginning were single-minded towards Gongzi, not to mention rebellion, even if someone said that Gongzi didn't say half a word, they would draw their swords and fight hard. ”

"How many soldiers have been transferred from all over Xuzhou now?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"Not too many yet." Xu Shu said: "In each military village, only thirty percent of them are soldiers that Gongzi brought earlier, but these people are enough to deter the prisoners in the Battle of Cangting. ”

"In fact, Yuanzhi can strengthen the drills of the military village, so that the soldiers can integrate together earlier." Cao Shuo said: "No matter what we say, there will be doubts in the hearts of the soldiers who served in the Battle of Cangting. Only by speaking to someone of their equal status can they be more likely to be believed. ”

"Childe has always treated soldiers like close relatives, and I'm not worried that someone will get in the way after a long time. It's just that half of Qingzhou has been captured now, and many people don't know much about Gongzi, and it is inevitable that some people will be bewitched by the wicked and make trouble with Gongzi. ”

"There are bad guys all the time, just kill them." Cao Shuo smiled indifferently and said to Xu Shu: "Yuanzhi manages Qingzhou, and those who should be killed don't have to be soft." Since Qingzhou is handed over to you, I will completely delegate power, how to manage it is your business, I just need to see the effect. ”

"Don't worry, Childe, I will definitely do my best!" Xu Shu responded with a fist.

At the same time, the frustration who came to Donglai was standing by the sea.

There is no end to the vast expanse of the sea.

The sea is very calm, and when you stand on the beach, you can smell a faint salty smell.

"Frustrated." A lieutenant ran not far away, and when he came behind him, he saluted.

"How?" "Have any pirates landed recently?" ”

"Yes!" The lieutenant said, "Last night a group of pirates came ashore, and they got a lot of fresh water and meat, and it seems that they want to stay at sea for a long time. ”

"Staying for a long time?" "There is no shortage of food at sea, but there is no fresh water at all, unless they find some small island where they can stay." ”

Turning his head, he asked the lieutenant, "Have you ever heard of an island in the nearby sea?" ”

"There are a lot of islands nearby, and many of them can be hidden." "It's just that the terrain of these islands is complicated, and fishermen on the seashore generally refuse to climb on them," the captain said. ”

"How complicated?" Frustrated asked.

"Some islands are just sand and reefs, while others have trees and mountain springs in them." The lieutenant replied, "There are many strange creatures on the tree-covered islands, and fishermen have landed in the past, but none of them have left alive. Pirates are at sea all year round, so they probably won't choose to settle there. It's ......."

The lieutenant said this, and he stopped talking.

"What is it?" ”

"There is an island called Penglai, which covers a lot of land." The captain said, "Some fishermen have seen pirates land on Penglai Island, so they must have lived there permanently. ”

"Isn't there fresh water on Penglai Island?" "If there is fresh water there, why do pirates get water from Donglai?" ”

"I don't know." The lieutenant replied, "The fishermen didn't say it, and we didn't think to ask. ”

"Fishermen are not pirates, and it is useless to ask." "When are those pirates going to set sail?" ”

"It should be in the past one or two." The lieutenant said: "They did not harass the people along the coast, and we are not good at attacking them. ”

"Send someone to detain their boat." He commanded, "Just say that I want to see their leader." ”

"Do you want to arrest someone?" The lieutenant asked.

"People don't have to be arrested." "I want to discuss things with them, not to fight with them, not only not to arrest people, but also to entertain them with good wine and meat." ”
