Ten days later, three thousand new soldiers were recruited, and Liu He stopped recruiting soldiers. Piles of refugees wandered outside Guangning County and were unwilling to leave. The county government and county government obtained the food distributed by Liu He. Although they set up porridge sheds outside the east and west gates of the county every two days, this little porridge water could not fill the stomach at all. At most, it was just barely enough to hold their lives. It was far less than the food for soldiers to eat. It was just because the military rations were limited, and Liu He could not recruit too many troops. Although he was very pity for these refugees, he had no choice but to do anything.

In order to avoid the refugees taking risks and gathering into thieves, Liu He used the Jushu strategy and adopted two methods: one was to send various troops to go out to the camp every day to run around the city, and they were dressed neatly during the morning jog, holding soldiers in armor and holding sharp weapons to shock the refugees who were ill-gotten; the other was to repeatedly supervise the county government to send people to build shacks on the open land outside the county to temporarily avoid the wind and cold.

Relief was launched every two days, and the ministry was dispatched to protest around the city and build a shack. This method of treating symptoms was by no means a way to cure refugees. Liu He also knew this very well, but he only regretted that in this world, he knew what to do, but he could not do it.

The refugees are called "flow", just like a flood. If you want to cure it, it is like controlling water. There are only two strategies: either block or loosen.

"Duo": drive it out of Youzhou and block it outside the county. "Duo": The county and county come forward, build houses and divide land for it, and place it on the spot.

"Blocking" is impossible. This method has been proposed before and was rejected at that time.

On the north of Shanggu is the border, on the south is Zhuo County, on the south is Zhuo County, on the west is the inner tribal area, on the west is Yuyang County, on the east is the severely affected area of ​​the Xianbei Rebellion of Wuhuan. Looking at the east, east, north and north of Shanggu, where can the existing refugees in the county be driven? Nowhere can it be. Today, you dare to rush refugees out of the country, and tomorrow will the chief officials of the neighboring county impeach Shanggu to harm the neighbors.

The only feasible thing is "reluctance", and to implement this policy, there must be a prerequisite: the person in charge must have great courage.

Resetting refugees involves the fields. It is true that after the Wuhuan rebellion and the Xianbei invasion, there were many unowned fields in Shanggu and Yuyang. But first of all these fields were occupied by the surviving powerful tribes. Secondly, even if all these fields were taken over by the officials, there was not enough refugees. We had to ask for land from the powerful tribes. It was difficult to borrow food, and there was no way to get land. Without great courage, it was difficult to do it.

——It was Liu He, who dared to ask the big surname to borrow food, but at the moment, he did not dare to ask the big surname to ask for land. Unless the world is truly in chaos, etiquette and music are broken, and the entire social order has collapsed, "needing land" will become possible.

Bai Tan, Yaoyang and Huayan counties belong to the homeland of recovery, and the powerful people there had long been completely killed by the Xianbei.

Of course, in addition to "the land", there is also a way to compromise, that is, to ask the powerful households to hire refugees to support them.

In fact, some powerful households are taking the opportunity to force refugees to be slaves and recruit refugees as slaves. However, these big families already have a certain number of slaves and servants. In order to save food, they cannot buy them again. They recruit too many refugees, and they buy them, but only a very small number of them are still food and clothing and displaced.

After nightfall, the autumn wind is very cool.

Liu He looked up at the railing in the attic of the General's Mansion, and sighed unconsciously.

Ju Su, Tian Feng, Liu Bei, Xu Rong, Gongsun Du, Jian Yong and others were all around him.

Gongsun Du read the classics of saints at a young age. Influenced by family education, he was kind-hearted and worried about refugees outside the county. He said, "When the general was recruiting troops, the refugees in the county came in a lot of news. Now a small half gathered outside the county. Although the recruitment was over, they still couldn't linger. Although the county government sent people to build a shack for it at the request of the general, in such cold weather, the wind was leaking from all sides, and the rough shacks were probably unable to resist the cold. Alas, since early last month, I saw refugees who were starving to death in the county and outside the county. After this cold wind, I don't know how many refugees would die on the roadside."

Xu Rong frowned and said, "After the lord defeated the Xianbei Mountains in the western mountains of the county, the Wuhuan bandits were originally much more peaceful. After the late autumn, every three or two days, soldiers from all over the county would be reported to the mansion. The robbers gradually became active again and often came out of the mountains to plunder various counties... A few months ago, when I first arrived in Shanggu County, the lord was worried that the spring of the next year might be launched, and the robbers might be greatly boosted. Looking at it now, I can't wait for the spring of the next year, and there may be a large-scale thieves at the end of this year!"

Liu Bei said: "Is Bo Yu worried that the refugees would join forces with the thieves?"

"I am not only worried that they will join forces, but also that these refugees will siege the city and cause chaos. The lord, there are currently no less than ten thousand refugees outside the county. Although all the elite and brave men have been recruited into the army, those who remain outside will still have courageous and brave people. Maybe there are also fish caught in the Xianbei... We must set up early warnings."

"Bo Yu said very much. How can you be wary of your opinion?"

"You can start from both internal and external channels."

"What is inside?"

"Select good officials and soldiers to inspect the shacks day and night to prevent them from changing in series."

"What's outside?"

"Distribute elite troops in two places, one stationed in the camp outside the county and the other stationed on the city, forming a stance to prevent refugees from entering the city. In this way, as long as the city does not lose, if there is any change, it is enough to deal with it."

"Okay, just follow these two strategies."

"In addition, it is best to send cavalry to patrol the west of the county. First, if a group of thieves in the mountains attack, my city can get news early. Second, it can also prevent refugees from going west to surrender to the thieves, and prevent refugees from colluding with the thieves, so that they cannot cooperate inside and outside."

"Xuande, Shengji, what do you two think?"

Liu Bei had never read any military books and lacked the talent of military strategy. He was very good at governing civil affairs. He admired Xu Rong's response strategies and said, "Bo Yu's several strategies are meticulous and meticulous, so he has no objection."

Gongsun Du didn't know much about military affairs, and he had no objection.

"Military advisor! It seems that it is urgent to recover the two counties of Shanggu after the autumn harvest." Liu He said to Ju Su.

"It is the true foundation of the lord who can connect the three counties of Baitan into one." Ju Su agreed.

Tian Feng hesitated and said, "General, Feng has a plan that may be able to slightly resolve the harm of the thieves in the western county dynasties."

When talking about military affairs, Tian Feng used to only listen and rarely had his own ideas. When he heard that he offered his own advice, Liu He was quite pleased and asked with a smile: "What's the plan?"

"I heard Liu Deran say that the Sima of Hulin Army was once the leader of the horse thief in Shanggu. He was famous among the remaining thieves who fled into our county. Now those who fled into our county have all survived small groups of thieves. I guess they were scared out of their courage. Feng Yu's opinion: Why not send Sima to surrender them?"

"Send Hulin to recruit the remaining thieves?"

Liu He pondered slightly and asked Ju Su and Xu Rong's opinion: "Military advisor, Bo Yu, what do you two think?"

Ju Su replied: "Good! A defeated the enemy without fighting."

Xu Rong nodded and said, "The chief clerk's plan is safe."

Liu He smiled and said to Tian Feng: "If Hu Lin can summon some remaining thieves, this will be the chief clerk."

Tian Feng smiled: "General wise!"

Then, on the pavilion, Liu He sent orders one by one, passing on several decisions he had made just now to the army, and ordered Liu Xiu, Zhao Yi and Huang Zhong, who was in the rotation camp today, to be responsible for the arrangements and handled them in detail, and sent people to the county government to inform Chen Ying of these matters.

That night, everyone stopped after the military discussion, and they had nothing to say. But in the early morning, Liu Bei heard the noise and stood up with his Yi. As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he met Jian Yong.

"Xianhe, why is he in a hurry?"

"What a big deal!"

"What's the matter?"

"Last night, refugees outside the county made chaos and looted the Han family in our county!"

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this. Although he had not been to the county for a long time, he knew that the Han family was the largest tyrant in the county when he heard it every day. He never expected that the general in the pavilion had just worried that the refugees might cause trouble, and the Han family was looted last night!

When Jian Yong saw him standing in front of the door, he knew that he should have been shocked by the news and reminded him: "The general is in charge of military affairs. The refugees are in chaos, and military affairs are also in charge. In order to save Liao Gongcao, you should go and visit the general and discuss countermeasures."

Jian Yong got up early and heard about this from others. At that time, he thought of Liu Bei's duties, so he hurried over to find him with the goal of urging him to see Liu He as soon as possible.

Liu Bei woke up and replied: "Xianhe is talking about it."

He had been used to Bai Tan's handling of civil affairs before, and the Liao Gongcao had not taken office for a few days. In shock, he did not think that his job was understandable. However, he was not a fool. This time he came to his senses and immediately realized: "How many refugees are there? Where are they now?"
