"Look, this is Huaihuang Town!"

After several days of trekking, the 3,000 soldiers were exhausted, and when they pointed into the distance, all of them got up and gathered in front of them.

I saw that on a turquoise prairie, a city made of yellow rammed earth was standing in it.

When they saw the arrival of their destination, they thought of a meal that could fill their stomachs and a place to sleep, and the 3,000 soldiers who had been running on the grassland for several days couldn't help but cheer in unison, sweeping away their fatigue.

At night, the smoke of cooking in Huaihuang City is filled with the smell of cooked food.

The soldiers who had just arrived in Huaihuang Town did not enter the city directly, and first of all, they were very reluctant, and were driven to the side of a large lake nearby, and were forced to take off their essence and bathe by the lake.

Among the 3,000 soldiers, although there were families with families, most of them were young and strong, and there were only five or six hundred old and weak women and children who really brought their families and mouths, and they were immediately dragged to another place to bathe.

The soldiers thought that they would have a delicious meal to eat immediately, but they didn't want to have such a thing again, and they were all unhappy at the moment, but when they saw hundreds of cavalrymen holding horsewhips and glaring at them, they were not happy and happy.

After many days of trekking, the soldiers were covered with dust, and several loads of old mud were rubbed, and the whole person suddenly became lighter.

Then they were covered with fleas, rags and rags, and they were all scraped clean and piled together.

After bathing, the soldiers were blown by the autumn wind, and they were about to cry out for cold, when someone sent a large number of thick sheepskin jackets.

The cavalry on the side admonished one after another, saying: "One piece per person, not many collars." ”

The people can wear new clothes, and suddenly put the old clothes on their bodies, such sheepskin jackets, except for the smell of sheep, are better than wearing linen clothes on their bodies, and they don't know how much stronger they are in the cold, and everyone is happy at the moment.

After that, the soldiers who had finished bathing were taken to the city.

Along the way, the cavalry repeatedly instilled the garrison and several rules in the city.

First, it is forbidden to defecate in the open, and must go to a special latrine, and those who violate the order will be whipped for 10 days or choose to work hard for 10 days.

Second, it is forbidden to molest women, and those who violate the order will be beheaded.

Thirdly, after nightfall, a curfew is imposed, and those who are not allowed to leave their respective garrisons are allowed to be immediately beheaded.

The soldiers all nodded their heads after hearing this, the last two were still within the scope of understanding, and the first was too difficult to understand.

However, looking at these ferocious cavalry, no one dared to object.

The golden pancakes are yellow and clear wheat cakes, stacked on top of each other like hills, and in several wooden basins the size of a basin, there are all kinds of green and delicious wild vegetables, and there are several large wooden barrels at the feet of the side, there are sticky gruel and fragrant horse wine.

In addition, on the fire beside him, several whole sheep were roasting, and the greasy gravy was constantly dripping into the fire, making a popping sound.

"Oh grandma, I never dreamed of eating such food."

The soldiers all had their eyes bulging out, their eyes shining, and they stared at the food on the table.

Champion Hou is generous and true to his word, this high-quality meal, just the pancake wheat cake is enough for everyone to open their stomachs and eat well. Not to mention the wine and meat delicacies.

After everyone sat down in front of the meal, their saliva was dripping.

On the stage, the new official of the Yingyang Mansion Yingyang Lang General, the champion Hou of the Son of Heaven himself, Li Chongjiu stood on the high platform, and the left and right sides were all introduced, one is the Yue Cavalry Captain Wang Mahan, and the other is the infantry captain Tan Zong.

Li Chongjiu picked up a big bowl of wine and said to everyone: "Everyone, I have come thousands of miles to Huaihuang Town, to defend the country and defend the country, and I am not very grateful. ”

Hearing Li Chongjiu say this, the men in the audience all raised their wine bowls and said, "Thank you, Champion Hou!" ”

A bowl of wine is down, and the fatigue of everyone's bodies is dispelled.

Li Chongjiu said: "The rules have been said before, and I won't mention them anymore." Since it is a border town, one qiē rule needs to follow the rules of the military town, and those who do not obey the order will not be punished with hard labor once, twice will not be whipped, and three times will be beheaded. ”

Listening to Li Chongjiu's words, there was silence on the field.

"From the officers and soldiers, including me, without discrimination, under military law, there will be no deviation, if you abide by military law, everyone will be fine, if you do not obey, under military law, there will be no mercy."

"Listen to the order of the champion Hou."

Everyone agreed in unison.

Li Chongjiu saw that everyone was convinced, nodded at the moment, and said: "In the future, everyone will get along for a long time, and we need to share weal and woe, today's meal is squeezed out of my belt in Huaihuang Town, to entertain you, in the future, everyone will be treated the same as the townspeople, everyone will work together, everyone will drink happily today, and they will not return if they are not drunk." ”

Hearing Li Chongjiu say this, all the soldiers cheered, and they couldn't wait to reach out to the pancakes and wheat cakes on the table.

Many people scoop a bowl of wine or a bowl of porridge, and swallow a mouthful of cake and soup.

As for the big pot of wild vegetables on the table, it was swept away in an instant. Then the woman who was serving on the side wearing a coarse cloth and a hairpin was holding mutton and vegetarian dishes were constantly served.

Most of the soldiers present were young and strong men, and when they saw these women serving, they all stared at each other.

Everyone was under military law, and they did not dare to act rashly, but they did not stop them from watching their hands and opening their eyes to look.

Seeing this scene, Li Chongjiu shook his head with a smile, and Wang Ma Han on the side said: "Young darthead, oh, no, champion Hou, you said that most people are young men who have not started a family, and you said that you want them to hold the guys in their crotch and guard them in Huaihuang Town for a lifetime, that is not possible." ”

Tan Zong laughed when he heard this, and said: "That's right, in this way, only the male and the public can become a pair." ”

Seeing that Tanzong was rude, Wang Mahan laughed and scolded: "Are you monks like this? ”

"Straight sissy thief!"

Seeing that the two were about to turn their faces again, Li Chongjiu snorted heavily, and both of them were silent.

Li Chongjiu said: "Of course you can't do it in the future, marrying a wife and having children is a big deal, I don't allow them to molest women, but I can encourage them to marry in the media." ”

Li Chongjiu thought for a while and said: "In the future, marrying a wife can be used as a military merit as an encouragement, if a certain military merit is established, we can reward him with a house and land, and help him marry a suitable person." ”

When he first came to Huaihuang Town, Li Chongjiu was dominated by old and weak women and children, and the ratio of men and women was strictly out of balance, and then with the burial of a thousand young men from the hands of Sogdian merchants, the ratio was finally harmonious, but now with the arrival of the soldiers, the ratio of men and women has fallen again.

Each has its own troubles.

And the population of the town is also surging, before 2,000 homeless people, 1,000 young and strong laborers, and 3,000 new soldiers, there are 6,000 here.

In addition, there is Wang Mahan, Tanzong's horse infantry army is 500 people.

This is not counting, the six merchants who have entered Huaihuang Town, more than 300 people, and 100 homeless people who have heard the wind, the population of Huaihuang Town is now more than 7,000.

With such a large population, the difficulty of Li Chongjiu's management has also begun to increase.
