ps: Correction later………………………but continued to linger in Yanmen Pass for more than a month. Although the Xianbei people had withdrawn, someone still had to clean up the mess they left behind.

In October, the weather suddenly cooled down. Cao Liang was very concerned about winter heating in the cities in northern Shanxi and personally arranged manpower to handle it.

The Xianbei people were like locusts passing through the border. Everything that could be eaten or used was destroyed by them. Even large areas of mountain forests were set on fire by them.

However, Bingzhou is a cornucopia, with inexhaustible treasures buried underground. Of course, Cao Liang also knows that coal, as a natural resource, cannot be infinite, but for mining under the current productivity, it is natural

It is inexhaustible.

To the west of Yanmen Pass is Pingshuo, which has the largest open-pit coal mine in the country. As long as the top layer of soil is peeled off, there will be coal underneath. There is no need to dig a well, the labor intensity is much lower, and the risk is also lower.

Much more.

When using coal and stone, the most important thing to pay attention to is ventilation. It is absolutely impossible without a flue. After the promotion of the use of coal and stone in Bingzhou in the past few years, the safety has been greatly improved. In the first two years, there were often cases of coal smoke poisoning, but recently

It has been two years but there has been little heard of it. Apparently everyone has accepted the new thing like coal and stone, and every winter, it doesn’t feel so cold anymore.

Cao Liang has also been paying attention to the movements of the Xianbei people. After the Xianbei people fled outside the Great Wall, Cao Liang stopped chasing them all the way. After Tuoba Liwei returned to Yunzhong, he quickly led his tribe to migrate eastward.

.

This is not to say that Tuoba Liwei is afraid that the Wei army will pursue him. The main reason is that the fodder in the clouds has been burned by the Wei army. As a result, the sheep and horses will be without feed throughout the long winter, and they will face a large number of

The death of the sheep and horses will definitely threaten the survival of the Xianbei people.

Therefore, under the forced circumstances, Tuoba Liwei led his troops to leave Yunzhong. Staying here would only lead to death. Finding another way out was Tuoba Xianbei's only chance.

Whether Tuoba Liwei will move closer to the Xianbei in the east and want to seize grain and grass from them to survive the winter is unknown to Cao Liang, but as for Bingzhou, Tuoba Xianbei gave up the forward position of Yunzhong, and Bingzhou is safe.

At least within five years, he will no longer be harassed by Tuoba Xianbei.

This is great news for the soldiers and civilians of Bingzhou who have been fighting for four consecutive years. Due to the invasion of the Xianbei people, all the lands in northern Shanxi can only adopt the method of clearing the fields by fortifying the walls. Large areas of fields are deserted and uncultivated.

Fan Xianbei retreated, and by next spring, these barren fields could finally be cultivated.

The people who were forced to move into the cities could finally leave these cities and return to their land. This news was enough to make them cheer.

Cao Liang is also happy for these people. Although the Bingzhou government has been supplying food to these refugees in recent years, it can only maintain the minimum living standard. It is also a luxury to want to slightly improve the quality of life.

The people live and work in peace and contentment, which is the foundation of society. If they only rely on government relief to survive, sooner or later they will be exhausted. The retreat of the Xianbei people has given the people a glimmer of hope.

Cao Liang has settled the defense of Yanmen Pass, and Yanmen Governor Le will be entrusted with important tasks. Although the Xianbei people will most likely not appear next year, they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Cao Liang told Le that he will definitely catch him

Take good care of Yanmen's defense, and never give the Xianbei people any opportunity to take advantage of it, no matter when.

The defense of Xingxing County was handed over to the new Xingxing Governor. Cao Liang withdrew all the Pingbei Army from northern Shanxi. Now the county military system of Bingzhou County is complete, and the rural warriors originally recruited are also being demobilized one after another.

among.

However, Cao Liang was still very concerned about these rural warriors and ordered all localities to do a good job of returning the rural warriors to their hometowns and register them. Once a war breaks out in Bingzhou, these rural warriors can be recruited at any time.

The war was over, and Cao Liang did not dare to keep these local heroes casually. After all, there were so many eyes staring at him, and Cao Liang did not dare to make a mistake in this matter.

These local braves are equivalent to reserve forces. Once there is a war, they will be called upon and they will be able to fight.

This was undoubtedly Cao Liang's original plan. After all, with only such a small number of troops in the Pingbei Army, it would be difficult to consolidate the state, let alone have a decisive battle with Sima Yi in the future.

The Sima family has deep roots, and after years of premeditation, its strength is unfathomable. In order to prepare more chips, Cao Liang naturally had to make plans for Xiangyong.

After several years of training, Cao Liang has built a considerable army, which will also be the capital he relies on to maintain. Cao Liang doesn't know whether the Gaoping Ling Incident will happen as scheduled, but no matter what, he

We have made sufficient preparations to face this rebellion that is destined to be inescapable.

When leaving Yanmen Pass, the people in the city spontaneously lined up in a long line to go out of the city to see off Cao Liang, while inside the city, the streets were deserted.

Cao Liang stayed in Yanmen for nearly three years. Although he would leave Yanmen sometimes to inspect the city's defense preparedness, this only occupied a small period of time. Cao Liang spent most of his energy on Yanmen.

, or put it on top of dealing with the Xianbei people.

It can be said that without Cao Liang, God knows how long Yanmen Pass can be defended, let alone how many people can survive.

With the joy of surviving the disaster, the people rushed out of the city. Without Cao Liang, there would be absolutely no way for them to survive. It can be said that Cao Liang is the reborn parent of these people, and it is reasonable for people to be grateful to him.

Cao Liang originally didn't want to disturb the people. He wanted to leave quietly at nine o'clock in the morning, but when the people got the news, they helped the old and the young and went out of the city to see each other off. Almost everyone was so moved that they cried, Yiyi

Reluctant to leave, many people pulled on Cao Liang's cloak, not wanting him to leave.

After fighting with these soldiers and civilians for more than three years, Cao Liang also has deep feelings for this city. However, the Xianbei people were expelled, and Cao Liang no longer had the need to stay here. He was anxious to return to Jinyang.

There are more important things to do.

The soldiers silently cleared a passage for Cao Liang, so that Cao Liang's war horses could pass through. However, Cao Liang did not ride a horse, but walked on foot, constantly saluting the people, and will meet again later.
