C12 Easily Integrate and Win People's Hearts

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.

The second hall, the east and west rooms, and the house door that led to the outside were the third courtyard. The entrance of this place prohibited random people from entering. Outsiders had to enter through the door of the house and their identities had to be recorded. Most of the dirty work in the courthouse was done here in private before going to the main hall to deliver their verdict.

The last residence was the official's residence, commonly known as the county magistrate's backyard. This was the official's personal territory, and ordinary people would never be able to set foot here.

In his previous life, it was Gongsun Xu's first time in the county magistrate court. He followed Liu He and walked inside, looking around curiously. 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.

With the exception of Zhao Yun, the rest of the people Gongsun Xu brought were all placed outside. Liu He was accompanied by only Yan Rou, Xianyu Fu and Xianyu Yin. The group of five soon arrived at the backyard of the magistrate court. Gongsun Xu and Liu He were not friends so they shouldn't have been invited here. However, Liu He wasn't married, and since the discussion in the backyard seemed closer, they arranged the meeting 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 with him in the main seat. Zhao Yun stood behind Gongsun Xu, while Yan Rou stood behind Liu He with her saber in hand. Xianyu Fu and Xianyu Yin sat at the end of the table, wearing ugly expressions on their faces.

Gongsun Xu did not pick up his teacup. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Young Master Liu, everyone knows what I mean. You and I don't have to lie to each other. What do you say?"

"The young duke is straightforward!" "I also think so." Liu He complimented him with a smile, then his face turned serious, "May I ask Little Marquis, how is Marquis Jin planning to punish us?"

Gongsun Xu shook his head and said, "The word 'punishment' is inappropriate. 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 and said, "May I ask Little Marquis, how does Marquis Jin plan to settle us?"

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

Liu He was overjoyed to hear this. He had long known about the three chapters of the contract between Gongsun Xu and Liu Yu. Since Gongsun Zan had agreed to serve as an official in Ji County 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 Officer Yan will be the commander of this team."

Yan Rou was overjoyed when she heard this. She immediately cupped her hands in thanks. Although his martial arts were good, he did not have many subordinates that he could command. In terms of strength, he was inferior to Lieutenant Xianyu Yin, who was actually commanding the three thousand elite cavalry s. Jian Jianshan Academy Officer was a Grade Eight Martial General, and his rank was eight hundred. The most important thing was to be able to lead an army alone, he was a true high-ranking official. Compared to Sima Jun, he was like heaven and earth.

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

Yan Rou withdrew her happy expression as well. She didn't want to lead a group of old and weak veterans.

"To save your life." Gongsun Xu spat out a few words and slowly said, "Those old, weak, and handicapped people will be sent to Lord Liu for cultivation. They 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 hadn't said anything for a long time, suddenly interrupted and sneered: "The military is full of boorish brutes, they have never looked at their birth but only at 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!"

These two had been hostile towards each other from the beginning. Gongsun Xu wasn't planning on roping them in at all. Furthermore, he always had a saying: "If you're not of my race, then you must have a different heart!" 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 did not have any fatherly affection for Gongsun Zan, but he was very appreciative of Gongsun Zan's iron policy towards the Hu people.

"Don't you dare!" Xianyu Yin was furious as he opened his mouth to curse.

Zhao Yun snorted coldly and took a step forward. He held his sword in his hand and glared at Xianyu Yin.

"Shut up!" Xianyu Fu hurriedly shouted and cupped his hands towards Gongsun Xu, "Xianyu Yin's character is impetuous, please forgive me, Young Marquis."

Gongsun Xu sneered, "I am not a petty person, but when I have free time, I might as well 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 in response, and continued to retreat behind Gongsun Xu.

When Xianyu Yin heard that, he was about to curse again, but he was stopped by a stern glare from Xianyu Fu.

Xianyu Fu smiled and said, "I will remember your teachings."

Gongsun Xu waved his hand, but he was on guard inside: "This Xianyu Fu is rude and disrespectful. He knows that I am here to seize power but he is indifferent. 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 put down the teacup that was on his lips and cupped his hands towards Liu He, "Young Master Liu, it's still early. How about we go to the barracks and have a look first?"

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

"Please!"

The two walked out of the living room 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, look at what this is?" Xianyu Fu sneered as he took out an object from his sleeve and shook it.

When Yan Rou saw the flames of anger shoot out from her eyes, she grabbed onto Xianyu Fu's collar and shouted angrily, "How dare you, Son of a bitch!"

Xianyu Fu was not the least bit afraid as he said with a fake smile, "Calm down, Officer Yan! If Gongsun Xu is alarmed, then things might 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 walk, so that the vertical pillar won't be suspicious."

At this moment, Gongsun Xu turned his head around to take a look. Yan Rou quickly calmed herself down and followed him with big strides.

The Changli County was not that big, it had a radius of less than 25 miles. With 40,000 people pouring in at once, 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. However, in the blink of an eye, the news of Liu Yu being saved spread like this over and over again. Coupled with the shortage of food in the city, the morale that had been raised with great difficulty once again plummeted. If it wasn't for the fact that Yan Rou's military laws were extremely strict, and all the deserters she encountered were beheaded, coupled with the fact that Xianyu Yin led cavalry of Xianbei to intimidate everyone, the military might have already gone through an uproar.

Gongsun Xu had come to the Changli to negotiate with Liu He, and this news had spread like wildfire among the soldiers. Since the young duke had personally come to pay a visit from Marquis Jin, why couldn't he give all of us soldiers a way out? They had great hopes for Gongsun Xu's trip. At any time, there would be people watching the movements of the county magistrate court. When they saw Gongsun Xu walking towards the barracks, they would immediately report it to their horses. Therefore, when Gongsun Xu accompanied Liu He to the military camp, he saw a line of people standing neatly in rags, and most of them were looking at him anxiously.

Gongsun Xu walked to the side of the high platform and only said one sentence before he already received a lot of cheers.

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

Gongsun Xu then announced the integration plan that he had discussed with Liu He. Other than the thousand plus cavalry of Xianbei that were led by Xianyu Yin remaining silent, the rest of the people were cheering loudly. 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?

Actually, Gongsun Xu was being completely generous. All he had to do was throw a bunch of old, weak, and handicapped people at Liu Yu. As for what Liu Yu did, it had nothing to do with him. When Gongsun Xu had made his promise to Liu Yu, he had specifically mentioned that the Wu Steel Manor would not interfere with the civil affairs. This action seemed to be a show of authority, but in reality, he had thrown all the blame onto Liu Yu. 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 team 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 plus cavalry of Xianbei that was led by Xianyu Yin, Gongsun Xu did not even mention a single word. He did not have any trust towards these Hu people.
