Chapter 476: Fourteen Years of Winter 1
After entering the middle of October, snowflakes had fallen in the entire northern frontier of Wei State, and the weather became colder.
This is especially true in the northernmost part of the city, where the snow is very low and not at all, but the temperature here is frighteningly low.
According to the news that the scouts kept coming back, Wei Wuji was able to determine that the Huns' forces were gradually withdrawing from the Hanoi steppes.
This also means that Yanshan County and Guihua City in the fourteenth year of the Marquis of Wei have basically gained peace.
And it was only yesterday that a messenger sent from Lingbei camp came to inquire about the situation in Guihua City.
At the same time, he also brought news, so that everyone could really confirm that it was all the cavalry of the Lingbei battalion that was dispatched to force the Huns back.
This made Wei Wuji have to admire that the humble and gentle old general would have such great courage.
Of course, Chen Wanyun can have such a bold move, of course, it is not a simple will, everything is in the background.
Because the Xiangping battalion, which was fighting against the Qi State in the east, combined with the strong military strength of the Wu'an Battalion, had completely driven the Qi people to the south of the Great River, and at the same time captured Linjiang City.
This allowed Wei to free up a hand, and naturally he could hit the Xiongnu with great force.
After learning the news, Wei Wuji was actually most concerned about what happened to Liu Xuanba and the others in the Xiangping camp now.
As soon as the messenger learned about the situation in Guihua City, he immediately returned to the camp in Lingbei, because his mission had been completed.
And the messenger went back with Zhao Xi...... He will take his father's coffin and send it back to the ancestral hall in Wu'an.
Of course, Wei Wuji himself will not be idle, and he also transferred the troops of Hu Hansan's entire school captain department to escort Zhao Xi's father and son.
This kind of atmospheric move undoubtedly added a bit of aura to Wei Wuji himself.
And now, Wei Wuji strolled on the head of the Naturalization City, greeting the Wei soldiers who were still holding on to the city.
And in the process, Wei Wuji's head was also thinking about things.
Judging from the current situation, after solving the trouble of Qi State, the situation faced by Wei State is undoubtedly much better, and the offensive and defensive momentum has reversed.
And the Chu and Qin states on the southwest side were not very peaceful before, but now there is no need to worry too much, what trouble can happen between these two countries.
With the newly established Changping camp and the Xiguan camp waiting, these two countries don't have to worry too much.
In fact, Wei Wuji also knew that these things didn't have much to do with him now, and it was the key for him to handle the affairs of Naturalization City well now.
These days, and according to his own arrangement, there is basically no one in Naturalization City who is resting now.
In order to be able to better show his martial arts, Wei Wuji ordered all the Hu soldiers who died in the battle to be beheaded to make Jingguan.
When he first uttered the word and expressed the idea, everyone present did not show surprise, but were full of confusion.
Obviously, they didn't know what Jingguan was, so this allowed Wei Wuji himself to explain it well.
When they understood that Jingguan was to cut off the head of the Hu people and then use it to build blocks, everyone immediately took a breath.
In this era where modesty and elegance are the mainstream, the idea of having Wei Wuji is shocking, but under Wei Wuji's several explanations, the army still passed his will.
This is also due to the fact that Wei Wuji himself is now authoritative, otherwise he may really be opposed.
So during the time that Wei Wuji was in the city, there were still many people outside the city who were harvesting people's heads. Thankfully, it's winter, and the temperature is low, so the corpses are decomposing very slowly.
But this is a bitter job after all, although Wei Wuji himself has the appeal, I am afraid that the soldiers will be resistant to it.
Besides, this is not a good job in the first place, so in order to increase the enthusiasm of everyone, Wei Wuji also came up with an ingenious way to let everyone compete.
Whoever ends up with the top three people who cut off the most heads will directly give out a reward of up to 10,000 dollars. Since Wei Wuji had already cashed in the reward for everyone before, the soldiers naturally believed him.
Although these bounties have not yet been implemented, they have been clearly stated after all. Besides, those who performed well in this battle were also promoted to the position of officers by Wei Wuji at this time.
Therefore, under these arrangements, everyone is full of energy, and there is hope that everyone will struggle.
The place where the Jingguan was built was in the northeast outside the Naturalization City, which happened to be opposite the Tianluo Grassland and Tianbei Grassland of the Hu people, and the Golmud Grassland of the Donghu people.
This was Wei Wuji's most powerful demonstration against the Hu people in northern Xinjiang, and he was not afraid of angering those Hu people at all, because he actually didn't have much time, so he could only make a stir on the grassland in this way.
Otherwise, if the Huns chose to postpone the attack, then Wei Wuji could only waste his time in Guihua City, which Wei Wuji absolutely could not bear.
Although he also needs time to make himself strong, he needs a pressure to spur himself on.
After walking for a while, Wei Wuji finally stood on the city wall, looking at the horizon looming in the distance.
The thoughts in his head were rolling around right now, trying to find out if there was anything else he hadn't done......
Soon he had a catch, and the first thing he did was to move his own military camp in the Great Wall to this place, including the huge amount of money left over from the last time.
The second thing is to realize the gains on the side of Naturalization City as soon as possible, otherwise if the Lingbei camp knows about it, there may be variables.
The third thing is to recruit the next group of soldiers in Yanshan County, after all, there are still a lot of attritions in this war.
Now the comprehensive situation is that the cavalry of the eight captains' departments is still more than eighty percent intact. This also means that Wei Wuji has to recruit at least more than 1,600 people.
But Wei Wuji is certainly not so shallow, this time he is ready to play bigger, that is, to recruit a full army of cavalry troops, which means that he has to replenish nearly 4,000 recruits.
This is definitely a big number, but Wei Wuji is imperative, and he has to be recruited before the year, which means that his previous recruitment standards must be appropriately lowered.
The last thing to do was to contact the Iron Forest Department as soon as possible, and ask them to work with the people of the Apyi Department to send those iron ores to Wei Wuji.
This is something that can be done right now, and without further ado, the craftsmen will be able to open the furnace and forge when they arrive, so they ask these guys to move quickly.
So, Wei Wuji said that he would leave, and immediately turned around and walked down the city, he couldn't let the people of the Yiyi tribe sit like this now, and then he had to give them food and drink.
The servants he wants are here to do things for him, not to eat and drink.
Even if it was winter and it wasn't suitable for humans to go outside, Wei Wuji didn't care......
