The yamen of Han Dynasty was divided into four main courtyards. The Yamen, which was only called the yamen during the Tang Dynasty, served as the first courtyard. When the people complained, it was inside this courtyard that the sound of the gong could be heard. This was the first time it was created by Liu Xiu, the emperor of the Guang Wu in the middle of Han Dynasty. The purpose of this was to let the officials remember the word "shame".

The central hall of the county magistrate court was the second courtyard. This was also the core area of the county magistrate court. The trial, verdict, and lawsuit were all held here.

In his previous life, this was the first time Gongsun Xu had stepped into the county magistrate court. This county magistrate was built around thirty acres of land, and all sorts of pavilions and pavilions were present. There were even curved bridges and corridors built over the ponds. However, they looked extremely dilapidated.

Other than Zhao Yun, the rest of the people that Gongsun Xu had brought were placed outside, and only Yan Rou, Xianyu Fu and Xianyu Yin were accompanying the appropriate Liu He. Gongsun Xu and Liu He were not friends, they should not have been invited here. However, Liu He did not get married, and since the discussion in the backyard seemed closer, he had arranged for the meeting place to be here.

The simple living room was lit up with a few large basins of charcoal. There were several wolf-skin cushions on the floor, and in front of the cushions, there were a few short desks. Liu He invited Gongsun Xu to a seat, while he sat in the main seat beside Gongsun Xu. Zhao Yun held onto his sword and stood behind Gongsun Xu, while Yan Rou held onto his blade and stood behind Liu He. Xianyu Fu and Xianyu Yin sat right next to him, and their expressions were extremely ugly.

The servant girl served tea to him, but Gongsun Xu did not raise the teacup, he cupped his hands and laughed: "Young Master Liu, everyone is well aware of my intentions, you and I do not have to use empty words, and just directly speak of the matter, what do you say?"

"The young duke is straightforward!" "I also think so." Liu He smiled as he praised them, his expression becoming serious, "May I ask Young Marquis, how does Marquis Jin plan to deal with us?"

Gongsun Xu shook his head: "The word 'punishment' isn't appropriate, I think the word 'placement' is more appropriate."

When Liu He heard this, he was overjoyed. There was only a difference of one word between what they were going to do and what they were going to do. The result would be a huge difference!

Yan Rou cupped her hands: "May I ask Young Marquis, how Marquis Jin plans to settle us?"

Gongsun Xu looked at Liu He and smiled: "Young Master Liu returns to Ji County, and the official position is Ji County County Magistrate."

Liu He was extremely happy when he heard it. He had long known about the contents of the three chapters agreement between Gongsun Xu and Liu Yu. Since Gongsun Zan had promised to be the county magistrate of the Ji County, he was basically working for Liu Yu. If he could serve his father with his body, and also be able to spread what he had learned, why wouldn't he be willing to do it?

Gongsun Xu looked at Yan Rou again, and said: "The tens of thousands of soldiers here will be integrated, and the Officer Yan will be used to create the joint Academy Officer, and will be the commander of a group of soldiers."

Hearing that, Yan Rou was overjoyed, and immediately cupped her hands in thanks. His current position of a soldier was not in charge of military authority, she was only concerned with the punishment of the army. Although her martial arts were impressive, she did not have many people in command, and in terms of strength, she was inferior to General Xianyu Yin, who was in command of the three thousand elite cavalry s. The Construction Academy Officer was a level eight Martial General with a rank of 800. The most important thing was to be able to lead an army alone and become a true high-ranking official. Compared to Sima Jun, it was like heaven and earth.

Liu He asked with a smile, "How does Marquis Jin plan to organize these tens of thousands of people?"

Yan Rou also retracted her joy. He did not want to lead a group of handicapped veterans.

"To save your life." Gongsun Xu spat out four words, and slowly said: "Those old, weak, and handicapped people will be sent to Lord Liu's hands to settle the land, which can be considered as giving them a chance to live. The strong ones are divided into two parts, the ones who are good at riding are sent into the cavalry, and the others are sent into the infantry or used as auxiliary force. "

"May I ask Young Marquis, who will be the commander of the cavalry?" Could it be that the young duke intends to come himself? " Xianyu Yin, who had been silent all this while, suddenly interrupted, laughing sinisterly: "The military is full of brute force, they never look at birth but only see who has the size of a fist! The young duke might as well ask himself, "Is your fist big or not?"

"Cavalry Commander, who should I part with?" Gongsun Xu raised his fist and laughed proudly: "If you want to try, I will accompany you anytime!"

From the very beginning, these two people harbored hostile attitudes. Gongsun Xu was not prepared to rope them in at all, and had even pursued one line: If you are not of my race, then your heart must be different! When facing these Hu people, one could only use their dignity to drive them, but not their leniency to make them soft and gentle! Did Liu Yu treat the Northern Hu well enough? In the original history, when the dukes fell into chaos a few years later, the Northern Hu were the first to charge into the four Northern Prefectures to burn, kill, and loot.

There were many such examples in history books. When the imperial government of the Central Plains was powerful, the Hu people would bow down; once the imperial government of the Central Plains began to be weak, they would be the first to take a bite! The same goes for the Huns, the haughty, the haughty, the haughty, the chaste, and the virgins. Gongsun Xu didn't have any paternal or paternal feelings towards Gongsun Zan, but he was extremely appreciative of Gongsun Zan's iron blood policy towards the Hu people.

"How dare you!" Xianyu Yin was furious, he opened his mouth to curse.

Zhao Yun snorted as he took a step forward and glared at Xianyu Yin with the sword in his hand.

"Shut up!" Xianyu Fu hurriedly shouted as he cupped his hands towards Gongsun Xu and said, "Xianyu Yin has a reckless personality, I hope that Little Marquis Lord can forgive me."

Gongsun Xu laughed coldly: "I am not a petty person, but when I have free time, why not teach the cavalry general a few words! At the very least, he had to recognize the words' lower class higher class lower class lower class'! Zi Long, step down. "

Zhao Yun bowed and retreated behind Gongsun Xu as usual.

Xianyu Yin fumed after hearing it, and just as he was about to curse again, he received a stern stare from Xianyu Fu.

Xianyu Fu smiled and said, "I will remember the young duke's teachings."

Gongsun Xu waved his hand, but became cautious in his heart: This Xianyu Fu is rude and disrespectful, he is indifferent even though he clearly knows that he is here to seize power, what kind of ulterior motives does he have?

At this point, Liu He rushed out to smooth things over, "Aiya, the tea is cold now. Young Marquis, please have some tea. I'll have someone set up a feast right now."

Gongsun Xu lifted his teacup and wiped it on his lips before putting it down, and cupped his hands towards Liu He: "Young Master Liu, it's still early, how about we go to the army camp and take a look first?"

"Sure." Liu He nodded and stood up to extend his hand, "Young Marquis, please."

"Please!"

The two walked out of the hall side by side, with Zhao Yun following closely behind.

When Yan Rou stepped out of the door, she was stopped by Xianyu Fu.

"What is it?" Yan Rou frowned.

"Officer Yan, what is this?" Xianyu Fu laughed coldly, took out an object from his sleeve and shook it.

Seeing that, fire spouted out from Yan Rou's eyes, she grabbed Xianyu Fu by the collar and shouted: "You dare!"

Xianyu Fu was not afraid in the slightest as he said with a smile that did not reach his eyes, "Calm down Officer Yan! If we alarm Gongsun Xu, I'm afraid the situation will not be good! "

"What do you want?" Yan Rou released her hand and asked angrily.

Xianyu Fu smiled and said: "We will talk while we go, so that the vertical pillar won't become suspicious."

At this moment, Gongsun Xu turned his head to take a look, but Yan Rou quickly calmed her expression down and followed with large strides.

The Changli County City was not big, it had a radius of less than 25 kilometers. With 40,000 people pouring in all of a sudden, the army camp built at the northeast corner was obviously not enough. Liu He had no choice but to move all the civilians around the base and use the area as his base. That was how he managed to solve the problem of living for tens of thousands of people.

When Liu Yu had been captured, many people had fled to Liu He's side. When the news spread, their morale of troops had plummeted. Later on, there were rumors that Liu Yu had been killed. In their excitement, the crowd vowed to take revenge for Liu Yu's death. But unexpectedly, the news of Liu Yu being saved by Gongsun Xu came in the blink of an eye again, repeated in such a manner, and coupled with the lack of food in the city, his morale, which had been raised with such difficulty, once again went down a thousand miles. If Yan Rou had not followed the strict rules set by the military, beheading any deserters and then adding on the fact that Xianyu Yin had led the cavalry of Xianbei to intimidate everyone, there would have been an uproar in the army.

Gongsun Xu has already come to the Changli to negotiate with Liu He, and this news has been spread among the soldiers for a long time. The young duke has already personally come with the Marquis Jin, so how can he not give us, the Big Head Soldiers, a chance to live? They held great hope for Gongsun Xu's trip this time. At any moment, there would be people watching the movements of the county magistrate, and when they saw Gongsun Xu walking towards the military camp, they would immediately report it to him. As a result, when Gongsun Xu was escorted by Liu He to the general's platform in the army camp, he saw a group of people wearing tattered clothes, but they were all relatively neat. Most of them were looking at him anxiously.

Gongsun Xu walked to the side of the stage, and only said a few words before he received a large crowd of cheers.

"You can go home and visit your loved ones!"

Gongsun Xu then announced the plan that he had discussed with Liu He. Other than the thousand plus cavalry of Xianbei that were silent due to Xianyu Yin, the rest of the people were cheering. In particular, the elderly, the weak, and the handicapped, many people immediately cried. Their only function was to be cannon fodder in the past, and even if they died, no one would bury them. Now that the young duke had given them a way to live, how could they not be grateful?

In truth, Gongsun Xu was being completely generous. He only wanted to throw this bunch of old, weak, and sick people to Liu Yu, as for what Liu Yu would do, it had nothing to do with him. When Gongsun Xu made a promise with Liu Yu to not interfere in the affairs of the Marquis of Ji's Mansion, he specifically requested that they not interfere in the affairs of the people. As the saying goes, a gentleman can be bullied. Liu Yu happily hopped into the pit, working himself to the bone all day without feeling tired.

Gongsun Xu successfully won over the hearts of the people, and then started to organize the troops on the spot. With Liu He's full cooperation and the support of more than 80% of the soldiers, this event went smoothly and quickly. By the time the sky turned dark, the initial arrangement had been successfully completed. After eliminating more than 25,000 old, weak and handicapped people, the remaining 15,000 people were divided into 12 small teams, with 4,000 cavalrymen, 10,000 infantry, and 1,000 other people being assigned to serve as transport troops.

As for the thousand odd cavalry of Xianbei that Xianyu Yin was leading, Gongsun Xu did not even mention a single word about them. He did not have any trust in them.
