Hexi State, within the Demilitarized Zone. Industrious Central Plains people are building fortress after fortress here, and their forts use cement and, in many cases, iron bars. The poured fortress was very strong and very fast.

The dog baby stood on a high place with binoculars on guard, and although the mounted police patrolled the police, they still could not let their guard down.

The dog baby holds a telescope to see if any adverse situation may arise at any time.

Some arable land has already appeared in the surrounding area, and the industrious people have planted some beans here, and they may harvest the beans once before the winter comes, although it is not much, but it is enough to improve their lives. Those are the immigrants who came in the early days, and they were lucky enough to allocate some arable land, and there was no arable land in the back, and pastures, although they were not very large, the smallest was only thirty acres, and the largest was only more than a hundred acres of pasture, but it was enough to put some cattle and sheep. I heard that there is also the latest technology to breed cattle and sheep in the pen, and Jizhou has already done this. It seems to be very successful, because in Handan, there is a large demand for this, and some rich people like to drink milk in the morning, and those who have no money drink soybean juice. It's also a feature.

All in all, it is a very advantageous approach.

But here, they can only drink goat's milk, and they are still wounded, or when they are sick. Because the whole fortress was a barracks, and men, women, children, and old people, they were all soldiers. Here, all the people first learned to use firearms, and everyone learned to use firearms, and their main defense was the sneak attack of the Huns, who were still in the forefront here.

The fortress is not very large and is mainly an emergency shelter. The walls were so high that there were many obstacles on the perimeter that the cavalry simply could not launch a more direct attack. Such a fortress is usually more than two hundred people a piece. This is smaller, but there are also larger ones, and the number is usually more than fifteen hundred. The fortress will be a little bigger. They were not very far apart, ranging from ten to twenty miles, of course. If built in some key places, the size of the fortress will be larger, and the density between the small fortress and the large fortress will be much closer, and in doing so, a group of fortresses will be formed, and the large fortress will be equipped with artillery to provide fire support. And small bastions will provide the necessary fire support. The two are interdependent. The Republican Army is constantly improving their forts, and they are even planning a large fort complex. Although the fortress was small and seemed to be scattered, they could be connected to each other through communication trenches, and the fire could cover each other, which was very advantageous for them.

The Huns did not care about the republican army's movements in the demilitarized zone, they only thought that the other side was timid, and at the same time, their attention was focused on the north, because the war with the Wuhuan was really bad. They didn't have time to get here, so it naturally gave them some time. They spent half the summer, and the whole autumn, building fortifications for their forts.

As for naming, at first they used numbers, but later they simply used the names of various villages, some to commemorate their hometowns, and some were built according to some geographical features, such as a river, they would become Hedong Fort or Hexi Fort, or Xiaohe Fortress, etc. These forts were important places for their residence and defense.

Of course, there are some roads that are connected. The roads are all dirt roads. Because they really can't spare too many people to do this kind of work for them. The dirt road was only leveled to do so, and they were very worried about the arrival of the autumn rains, because then it would easily cause disaster on their roads.

The engineers in the rear are also thinking about such problems, and they are trying to overcome such problems through a series of engineering techniques to help them properly solve such problems.

Also experiencing technical problems was Hua Tuo, whose surgical operation was temporarily over. But they also have to summarize, or rather, they need to summarize the reports they need most to address some of their major problems.

For example, when it comes to blood transfusions, they must have a broader understanding of the importance of blood type. This time they had five blood transfusions, and as a result, three died and two succeeded. This proportion is not too high, but it is not very bad, but one of them is extremely serious, it is estimated that it should be caused by the wrong blood type, in addition, there is also a situation where there is no pulse during the blood transfusion process, Hua Tuo believes that this may be related to something called blood pressure proposed by Shang Wu, that is, they are not able to achieve a more reasonable level to do this. Hua Tuo must summarize it well, because surgery is not a trivial matter, and there will be a lot of things they need to prepare.

After all, they are still carefully dealing with some small things about wound infections, although small things, but in the absence of good antibiotics, it will kill a lot of wounded soldiers.

In this regard, Hua Tuo must seriously summarize, and at the same time, they also need a series of normative conditions to do such things, otherwise, they really can't achieve such some results.

In this battle of Hedong, the Republican Army gained a lot, but also for Hua Tuo, they also gained a lot, because they had a lot of things that had just begun.

"Those captives, send them out as soon as possible, it's trouble to keep them. Even though they are some cheap labor, for us, it is more troublesome. Ma Heng said.

The Hedong Army captured about 18,000 prisoners of war, and after screening, more than 5,000 were ordinary people, who belonged to the logistics personnel, that is, the people who transported grain and grass, but most of them were homesick, they could not fight, and in such a situation, the Republican Army could only give them a certain amount of travel expenses and let them go directly. And the remaining more than 10,000 people, most of them became hooligans of professional soldiers. A lot of people also have all kinds of questions. A considerable number of cases were criminal, and the IRA continued to sort out the newly controlled areas, and the local magistrates continued to come here to investigate, for the simple reason that there were constant cases ranging from robbery to murder, but the problem was that these prisoners of war had no ability to compensate at all. With the exception of some necessary homicide cases, compensation is not possible in many cases. This is a big problem for the sheriff, because there are so many disasters in the area.

It was more difficult to rebuild after the war than they had ever been, and there was no way around it, because some of these things could not be solved all at once.

Many of the problems were concentrated on the command of the Republican Army. Therefore, for those prisoners of war, he was eager to sell them all. Because even if he sent them to the mining area, he would worry that there would be a big problem, and in desperation, they could only solve it roughly.

"Sir, don't worry, I think the problem will be solved soon, and we will send these people to Dong Zhuo, after all, they already have such an intention to solve such problems." The operational staff officer said.

"I hope so." Ma Heng said. The Republican Army simply pushed these problems to Dong Zhuo, after all, many things have nothing to do with them. It's nice to be able to handle some of these things properly.

Inside Dong Zhuo's camp.

"Lending? Can this field hospital also be rented? Dong Zhuo asked puzzledly, in fact, ancient warfare has always lacked a too systematic treatment system. The number of military doctors is small, and at the same time the task is recognized. In addition, the success rate of treatment is very large, and the pressure on them to become big is very great. It is impossible to save more people systematically, which is also what many soldiers are most afraid of is injury, first of all, it is difficult to treat, secondly, the process is very painful, and finally, it is better to be alive or disabled. Because no one will care too much about you, in the end it is still miserable to understand such a life. In such a situation, the field hospital brought them a great deal of stability in the hearts of the military.

"My lord, yes, General Li wrote very clearly in his letter that the field hospital can help us stabilize the morale of the army. It is too necessary for the military to have a stable mind. Guo Yan said.

"Well, but this officer advisory group?" Dong Zhuo agrees with the field hospital, because he also knows what an injury means to an ordinary soldier, but if there is a better way to treat it, he still agrees with it very much, but the problem is that such a method must be very effective for him. The field hospital met his requirements.

The problem is that the IRA has a proviso that they need to send military advisers, diplomatic ambassadors, and military attachés, because they need to be safe commercially and have a good negotiating situation. These are all permanent in nature, which makes Dong Zhuo very dissatisfied, because there is a situation of being spied on.

"My lord, we can take a look at some of the practices of the Republican Army, if it is good, we can absorb it, after all, they have defeated the new army of the West Garden of the imperial court, and it is not a fluke to be able to defeat it once, we can learn and use it to deal with." Guo Yan introduced.

"Oh. Hahaha. Hearing this, Dong Zhuo suddenly let go. He was worried about the Republican Army, but as soon as he heard that the Xiyuan New Army could deal with the imperial court, Dong Zhuo was very sure. After all, it is still a very troublesome thing to be able to defeat the garrison of Luoyang, if they can grasp a certain advantage, Dong Zhuo will not care about this, because for him, it doesn't matter, he can do this, it is much more advantageous.
