Chapter 239 Hot-Blooded
"Lieutenant Jiang County, do you think we should not fight the Xianbei cavalry and continue to squat in the city?" Liu Xin said easily, as if he was saying something insignificant, but anyone could hear the firmness in his words!
"Sir, I saw those Xianbei cavalry plundering the people and cattle and sheep outside the city, and I felt uncomfortable in my heart. As an official, I should protect the people, but I know that I cannot go out of the city and kill them all.
If Xiandu County is defeated, your official position will not be guaranteed, and you may be condemned by the court. The people in the city will become prisoners of the other side, and the entire Changli County and even Youzhou may be conquered by the Xianbei tribe." Jiang Li still disagreed with Liu Xin's direct confrontation with him.
The Xianbei cavalry fought against him. Even though he knew that Liu Xin was powerful, his soldiers were also very good at fighting.
"Jiang County Cheng knows that I am 19 years old this year!" Liu Xin suddenly asked Jiang Li.
"I know that you are young and promising, and I admire you for your heart to serve the country. Your strength and means are beyond the comparison of ordinary children from aristocratic families. If nothing unexpected happens, you should appear in the court in twenty years!"
Jiang Li was already the biggest compliment he could give Liu Xin.
"However, now that I am 19 years old, it is the time when my heart to serve the country is at its strongest. Now that I have arrived in Xiandu County, how can I ignore it when I see the people suffering like this?
If everyone can only shrink their heads when facing the Xianbei cavalry, then how long do you think Xiandu County can persist, how many years can Changli County persist? How many years can Youzhou and the Han Dynasty persist?
The barbarians have become stronger through plunder, and our people have been suffering, and life is getting harder and harder. Since we are living in the present, why not give it a try? Maybe I am the hero who can save the people in the world?" Liu Xin said with a smile.
Jiang Li was extremely shocked. Gongsun Zan suppressed the Wuhuan clan and never dared to provoke the Xianbei cavalry. Today, the Xianbei are much more powerful than the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu invaded the Han Dynasty in the north of Liangzhou. As a result, tens of thousands of the elites of the imperial court were unable to capture the Xiongnu.
, provoke the Xianbei people at this time?
"What your lord said is absolutely true. He Ye is determined to kill Hu. Even if he dies on the battlefield, he will not live up to the body of this man. If your lord wants to go to war with the Xianbei cavalry, I am willing to be the vanguard!" He Ye heard what Liu Xin said and was excited.
Said loudly.
Liu Xin saw that He Ye's loyalty value had reached 81 points in a short while, and the system prompted him to provide himself with three [loyalty points]. He Ye could be well cultivated.
"In the future, you can go out of the city more often and stay with the five generals Zhou Tai, Guan Hai, Fang Yue, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. They all have the courage to be unstoppable, but you are not strong enough to kill Hu." Liu Xin.
As he spoke, he took out a [Triple Training Card] and gave it to He Ye.
Jiang Li did not persuade Liu Xin anymore. He had now surrendered to Liu Xin and was only a political officer. Without any force, he could only ensure the stability of the people of Xiandu County. He could not control the rest.
"How can you protect the safety of Xiandu County and prevent the Xianbei cavalry from attacking Xiandu County? The defense is impossible." Jiang Li knew Liu Xin's decision and could only help him improve his plan. If Liu Xin failed, he would inevitably
He will also die.
"If Jiang County Cheng has any ideas, it's okay to speak up!" Liu Xin said.
"The Xianbei cavalry is extremely fast. Many times, the people do not have time to escape into the city, and they have already arrived at our city.
They basically come from the north of Xiandu County. Your Excellency needs to send a team of cavalry there. When the enemy is discovered, they can quickly light up the smoke so that the people can hide in the city and we can compete with each other with peace of mind." Jiang Li said.
Liu Xin listened to Jiang Li's words. He had obviously considered how to deal with the Xianbei cavalry long ago, but he was the county magistrate and had no soldiers in his hands.
"What about the military camp?" Liu Xin asked.
"In addition to sending a cavalry force 20 miles to the north, cavalry patrols should also be sent in other directions. Many Wuhuan cavalry teams often come to plunder around Xiandu County. Although the opponent's number is not large, we can rarely catch up with them. If the Xianbei cavalry
The first time we suffered a loss, we may choose to attack Xiandu County in a detour in the future.
As for the barracks, my subordinates feel that it can be built 10 miles north of the city. That is the northernmost farmland in Xiandu County. As long as the barracks are not broken by then, the Xianbei cavalry will have to think more carefully if they want to attack our Xiandu County. If we attack the opponent from both front and rear, they will attack the city.
There’s no way to attack either!” Jiang Li said.
Liu Xin nodded. Jiang Li's method was very good. He must have known more about Xiandu County for decades than Liu Xin. He thought about his current military strength. If tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry came to attack, he would definitely
He will not be his opponent. Next, Liu Xin must consider how to increase the defense of Xiandu County.
At noon, Zhou Tai came back and told Liu Xin that everything was going well. In the morning, they went to 96 households. Among them, 31 households with unmanned yards had been taken over by them, and the county government was re-registering them.
65 families of people who did not pay taxes have been escorted to the prison. Two people were killed and more than 30 people were injured. There are now more than 700 prisoners in the prison, and it is almost impossible to hold them anymore.
"Lord, yesterday I arrested more than ten city guards who continued to collect city fees. Today, hundreds of city guards came to the prison to cause trouble, and I imprisoned them all. The prison can no longer hold them, and many of them are still tied up outside the prison.
"Zhou Tai said to Liu Xin.
"Go ahead and take them all outside the city! All are under military management. The elderly and children can be treated lightly, and they will be given adequate meals if they are obedient, so that they will remember that they will still be the people of Xiandu County in the future, and their labor is for education.
If you are really disobedient, just put him in solitary confinement and starve him for a few days! We will start registering the fields outside the city tomorrow. By then, we will have all the plows and oxen ready, and we can start farming the day after tomorrow." Liu Xin told Zhou Tai.
commanded.
All houses in Xiandu County were registered, a total of 188 houses were confiscated, and 125 households with 1,386 people were sent to jail and soon outside the city.
Rumors began to circulate in Xiandu County that the county magistrate Liu Xin was escorting people out of the city and killing them in order to rob people's houses. Liu Xin could not be lenient and asked people to investigate. As a result, more than 50 people were sent to jail.
In the face of absolute strength, the family had only this means. 1,000 city guards have been recruited, of which more than 400 are Liu Xin's nursing home servants, 300 are the common people and disaster victims brought by Liu Xin, and more than 200
The people in the city signed up on their own. They saw that the new county magistrate's military salary was sufficient and their families were poor, so they chose to join the city guard.
In the end, there were only more than a hundred people left in the original city guard army. Liu Xin had no choice but to appoint city guard officials through Yan Fei. However, several of his family generals had completely taken control of the defense work of the two city gates in Xiandu County.
