After enjoying a beautiful warm wine and pinching his shoulders, Li Xuan put on a thick cotton jacket and went out with a reluctant expression.

As the 'Eternal Sage' in Liu Bagou's mouth, Li Xuan naturally can't be lazy, and today he has a special itinerary, that is, to visit the prisoners of Jiguan Mountain who were escorted back some time ago.

No, they can't be said to be captives now, and now they are the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Because these people arrived for the first time, and the temperature has plummeted in the past few days, facing this situation, Li Xuan is also a little worried about freezing to death, so he has frequently asked about their situation in the past two days.

It didn't take long for him to come to a row of simple wooden houses at the foot of Huangzhu Mountain, accompanied by Liu Bagou and others.

Speaking of these simple wooden houses, they were temporarily built wooden houses when they first withdrew to Huangzhushan in the summer, and after settling down, the people of Huangzhushan built solid civil houses one after another and moved in, so these simple wooden houses were vacant.

The last time people lived in it was when they had just regained Shuilongzhai, and the people of Shuilongzhai lived in these simple wooden houses temporarily until they moved out after their own houses were built.

The previous Ming prisoners were originally intended to be placed here, but at that time, in order to facilitate management, they were concentrated in the prisoner camp converted from the cowshed, and during this time, as the weather cooled down, Bai Yunqi had already let those Ming prisoners strengthen and thicken themselves, and now the prisoner camp is no longer simple, but more like a barracks.

After several months of vacancy, these humble wooden houses have finally welcomed their new owners: the people of Cockscomb Mountain.

When Li Xuan arrived with people, everyone was busy green, whether it was the elderly, women, or even children, they were all busy.

They are expanding and reinforcing these humble houses, otherwise these humble houses would not have been able to survive this winter.

On the other hand, more people are building new wooden houses, and these newly built wooden houses are for the new captives in Heihu Village and Huanggui Mountain.

Yesterday, the latest batch of messengers returned to Huangzhu Mountain, bringing back Fang Dongquan and their latest information, saying that they had defeated the Black Tiger Village and the combined forces of Huang Gui Mountain, and were now heading to Black Tiger Village.

Due to the inconvenience of communication, it also takes time for messengers to go back and forth, so the news that Huang Zhushan knows is that it will be delayed for several days.

Now Li Xuan, they don't know that the people of the Black Tiger Village who fled have been stopped, and they have all surrendered when there is no hope of escaping.

But even if they didn't know the follow-up news, Li Xuan and Liu Bagou both felt that since Fang Dongquan and they had defeated the coalition forces of Black Tiger Village and Huang Guishan, it was unlikely that there would be any problems in taking Black Tiger Village and Huang Guishan in the future.

Therefore, it can be expected that it will not be long before Fang Dongquan and the others will be able to return to Huangzhushan with a large number of captives.

And these captives are all precious resources of the Tang Dynasty, and they can't let a few freeze to death in winter.

So Liu Bagou and they had already mobilized everyone in Huangzhu Mountain two days ago to start building houses, and it was naturally impossible for these temporary houses to be as good as they wanted, but at least they could give those captives a place to stay.

Looking at hundreds of people working together, there weren't even many young people in it, most of them were old and weak women and children, looking at them still working and sweating in the winter, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh, his Tang Dynasty was not without merit.

At least there are no civilians in the Tang Dynasty!

Because all the population in the Tang Dynasty are bandits and their families, to a certain extent, these old and weak women and children in front of them are also members of the bandits.

Therefore, when doing some collective projects, there is no need to talk nonsense at all, and everyone will be dispatched in one word.

This is true of the land that has been going on for a long time, and the same is true of the construction of houses now.

This situation made Li Xuan inexplicably sound the 'conference battle' of later generations, and the scene in front of him was completely the Tang Dynasty version of the conference battle!

"Now so many of us are building wooden houses together, and these wooden houses are very simple to repair, and they are also fast to repair, it is estimated that in a few days, we will be able to repair enough houses to settle the people of Black Tiger Village and Huanggui Mountain!" Liu Bagou pointed to some freshly built wooden houses in front of him and said, "Although these houses are a little worse, it should be no problem for them to live for ten days and half a month first!" ”

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Although the house is ready, but don't fall behind in other aspects, we have to let those people know that it is beneficial for us to surrender, and we don't have to starve and freeze!" ”

Liu Bagou said with a straight face at this time: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers and others have already started to make relevant preparations when General Fang and them just set out on the expedition, and they will definitely not delay things!" ”

Hearing Liu Bagou say this, Li Xuan was also relieved, although this Liu Bagou sometimes looks stupid to read, but he is still very good at handling these miscellaneous affairs.

In the past six months, many civil affairs in Huangzhushan, whether it is a major event such as clearing wasteland and farming or some other trivial matters, he can take Huang Wenhua and Qian Mengjiu to deal with them.

This time, Li Xuan believed that Liu Bagou would not mess up either.

In fact, Liu Bagou is the one who attaches the most importance to the capture of the three bandits of Jiguan Mountain, Huanggui Mountain, and Black Tiger Village, and he even attaches more importance to these captive populations than Li Xuan.

Unlike Fang Dongquan, who only knows how to fight and cares more about the victory of the war, Liu Bagou cares more about the growth of the population under the Tang Dynasty, before Fang Dongquan and them set out on the expedition, Liu Bagou repeatedly instructed them to come back with as many prisoners as possible, and not to kill too ruthlessly.

This matter was originally pushed by Liu Bagou vigorously, and the relevant preparations and arrangements had already been made, just waiting for Fang Dongquan and them to come back with the captives.

And Fang Dongquan and the others did not disappoint Liu Bagou, and three days later, another envoy returned to Huangzhushan and reported the latest progress.

The envoy said that the army had successfully captured all the men and horses of the Black Tiger Village, including their families, and that the old and weak women and children of the Black Tiger Village were already being escorted back to Huangzhu Mountain.

However, just like the last attack on Jiguan Mountain, the nearly 100 young people of Black Tiger Village were not escorted back, but were incorporated into the command of Fang Dongquan and others, and then took them to Huanggui Mountain.

Hearing that Fang Dongquan and the others had intercepted Qingzhuang again, Li Xuan was no longer angry now, because he had also figured it out, anyway, it was impossible for him to recover those Qingzhuang, if he and them were angry, it was better to let Bai Yunqi train the rear army well, and he would also train the guards himself.

However, although Li Xuan was no longer angry, it did not mean that he did not act, and immediately wrote a handwritten decree, sealing Cai Erhu, who had just surrendered to Chengcheng, as the general of Zhenxi, commanding the Zhenxi Army, and the Zhenxi soldiers were selected from the original Black Tiger Village Qingzhuang.
