On the whole, today's Huashan Army as a whole does not have much of a problem. At least, there are no fatal or structural problems. What is really in front of us now is the sequelae of the war that has been going on for months.

One is the wealth accumulated before, which has been consumed a lot this time. In particular, the consumption of food and ordnance is the greatest. After all, this time the Huashan Army can be said to have dispatched the most soldiers and horses in history.

Although it is said that there was no war in some places, but at the end of the war, even the town troops in these places in Guanzhong had to be transferred to a wartime alert state. In this way, the consumption of materials is naturally far more than usual.

But these are relatively normal attritions, and with the end of the war, as long as the policy is effective, it will basically recover quickly.

The second is the consumption of people's power, after all, so many materials have to be transported to the front line, it is impossible not to recruit people and a large amount of transportation capacity. In this way, it will naturally affect agricultural production.

Although it is said that when the war began, it was already August ~ September, but for the peasants, the four o'clock was orderly, and every season had its own things to be busy. This is a form of one ring after another, so once one of the links is affected, it will inevitably drag down the rest of the matter.

In the long run, the implications of this second point are even more far-reaching. Because it will affect next year's harvest, and once the consequences are serious, it will inevitably deeply affect the development of the entire Huashan Army.

After reading these circumstances, Li Xin put aside all the official documents, looked at the people below and said, "With the war, all our attention has shifted to this. Thankfully, this time we won after all. In this way, we have bought a lot of time, and I have already read the questions mentioned above and the suggestions you have made. Except for a few things that need to be reconsidered, everything else can be implemented according to the rules. After that, I will approve these documents, and you can do them as soon as you receive them! ”

"Yes, obey the orders of the General!" Everyone hurriedly bowed and said.

The advantage of having manpower at the bottom is that a lot of things can be entrusted to them, and you only need to be the final decision-maker. Of course, this is a very mind-wracking thing.

Fortunately, Li Xin had already ordered that all official documents must be simple and clear, go straight to the core, and not quote scriptures at length. Otherwise, at his level, it is estimated that reading an official document is enough for him, let alone what to decide.

With the return of Li Xin, the city of Chang'an quickly settled down. After all, as the leader of the entire Huashan Army, he is the backbone of all the soldiers and civilians of the Huashan Army.

At the end of the war, all the focus of the Huashan Army began to return to government affairs. At this time, there is a lot to be done, especially in various places that have just ended the war, and it is necessary to come up with strong measures to settle the people.

These things, relatively speaking, Huashanjun is already relatively experienced, so there is nothing difficult about it. As more and more things are experienced, Huashanjun will slowly form a set of its own system, and everything will have rules to follow.

What Li Xin is most concerned about now is the situation in Liangzhou.

On December 24, Li Xin finally received a letter from Tu Qi, which said good news, that is, Zhang Qian finally agreed to the conditions, and the two sides reached a peace.

However, the two sides talked back and forth, and after a day or two of see-sawing, the price was also lowered. According to the agreement between the two sides, if Zhang Ju and other armies and Gulangxia Pass were returned, Zhang Ju had to take out 60,000 stone of grain, 9,000 pieces of cloth and silk, and 5,000 good horses.

For food and cloth, Li Xin does not particularly attach great importance to it. What he valued most was the 5,000 good horses, and this time he asked for untrained mares that were less than two years old.

This is because of his long-term plan, the addition of this batch of horses, will make his Guanshan Military Horse Farm even stronger. In time, I don't have to ask outsiders anymore. After all, cavalry is a thing that is of great significance to one's own development.

However, although the peace negotiations were settled, Li Xin could not easily put the other party's army back. There are some things that you can do if you don't break the agreement.

Thinking of this, he immediately repaired a book, and then sent a fast horse to Zhou Tong and Tu Qi respectively.

On the side of Yuanwei County, Zhou Tong and the others knew the news of the success of the peace talks one step ahead of Li Xin. At this time, they were still waiting for Li Xin's reply, so they did not relax their vigilance against Zhang Ju.

From the day Tu Qi left the encirclement, until Zhou Tong and they received the news of the success of the peace talks, twelve days had passed. This time is not short, especially for Zhang Ju's army outside the city.

When Zhang Ju withdrew from the mountain pass, there was not much grain and grass left. Although after hearing the news of the peace talks, they also cut back on food and clothing, but after all, there were too many people, so they soon could not support themselves.

Later, the army began to kill horses. Don't look at the fact that this place is surrounded by dense forests, but after the army has stayed on the side for such a long time, not a single beast dares to stay, otherwise, it would be a good idea to hunt.

Zhou Tong, who was in the city at the time, found that the other party had reached this point, and they started to think. They decided to send some food to the enemy, but they had to exchange the horses for them.

Everyone knows that Zhou Tong has bad intentions! Zhang Ju: When they first started, they were killed and not replaced. After all, such a thing as a war horse is equivalent to a strategic resource, and it is better to kill than to leave it to your own enemy!

It's a pity that the generals above are reluctant to do this, and the soldiers below don't have so many scruples. After all, the generals have never been short of food, and the hungry are all the soldiers below.

As a result, some cavalry under Zhang Ju's command secretly reached an agreement with the Huashan army. At the beginning, it was just a sneak~ to trade with the Huashan Army, hand over the war horses in his hands to the Huashan Army, and exchange some food from the hands of the Huashan Army.

But later, as the food crisis worsened, more and more people became involved. Even some low-level cavalry generals began to lead their soldiers to start this business with the Huashan Army in groups of three or five.

At first, Zhang Ju didn't know about it. When he found out, he was immediately furious, and immediately killed a dozen soldiers, thinking that he could deter the soldiers below. In fact, at the beginning, it did scare a lot of people, but later, it was useless.

Especially during this period of time, there were generals in Zhang Ju's army who filled their pockets and deducted the food of the sergeants to feed themselves. After being discovered, there was a small mutiny in the army.

Although Zhang Ju found out in time and beheaded the general to show the public, so as to temporarily suppress the contradiction, there was already a lot of distrust between the soldiers and the generals at this time.

This led to the fact that the generals no longer dared to act lightly against the soldiers, and the soldiers no longer believed the generals. By this time, the entire army was actually showing a situation of falling apart.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone is from Liangzhou, many people still want to return to Liangzhou, I'm afraid that this army would have already dispersed.

But in order to survive, the trend of exchanging war horses for food is becoming more and more serious. And Zhang Ju didn't dare to care about it at this time, because he was afraid of provoking a mutiny, and it would not be worth it to put his life into it at that time.

He turned a blind eye, not to mention the other generals. In today's Zhang Ju army, the exchange of war horses for food has basically become a matter on the surface. However, the subsequent development of this matter was somewhat unexpected by Zhou Tong.

Maybe it was because there was really no way out, Zhang Ju simply gathered all the horses in the general. Then, he came to trade with the Huashan Army and traded these war horses.

In this way, all the food was in his hands, which could be used to supply the consumption of the entire army. Otherwise, the cavalry alone will have something to eat, while the foot soldiers can only watch, and sooner or later they will come to a big deal.

Therefore, for a period of time, Zhou Tong and Peng Lin have been happy every day! After all, these war horses are already well-trained and can be used directly when they get their hands on them! How much effort you have to save yourself!

In Zhou Tong's opinion, Zhang Ju's army is no longer an army, and it is almost the same as ordinary homeless!

"We've gained a lot in the past few days! If you do the math, now you have almost exchanged 3,000 horses from the other party's hands! It is estimated that there are not many war horses in the other party's hands, and we can't change them no matter how much we change! Above the city tower, Zhou Tong and Peng Lin looked at Zhang Ju's camp in the distance, and Peng Lin said.

Since confirming the news of the peace talks, Zhang Ju brought the army back to camp outside the city of Yuanwei County. After all, the terrain here is flatter and more open, so it is safer for the army.

"Then it's not our problem, if they don't have anything to change, then we won't change it! Anyway, it's not easy for us to transport food here! Zhou Tong listened and said indifferently.
