Three days later, the snow was still falling, but it was much lighter than the previous days.

Today, all the people working in the Huangni Village shed seemed a little absent-minded, and many of them had two big dark circles under their eyes, because they couldn't fall asleep at all yesterday. I've been busy tidying up my humble house.

The house is small and barely sheltered from the wind and rain, but it is warm because there is a family.

They are busy tidying up the house and getting it warmer and ready for the arrival of their loved ones.

The village was on crutches in the shack routinely, and he didn't reprimand these people for today's situation, but instead felt a sense of empathy in his heart. He has been away from home for a long time, and the mother-in-law and doll at home must be looking forward to suddenly appearing outside the house in such a snowy day!

After getting along with such Qin people for a short time, this originally desolate and dilapidated village is finally full of vitality, and the village is having some feelings with these Qin people. Speaking of which, they're all poor people! I heard that when they were driven out of the city, there were thousands of people, but in the end, less than 600 people were able to settle down in Huangnishan Village, and the rest of them were all frozen corpses buried under the heavy snow, or after a while, when the spring flowers bloomed and everything thawed, the bones of those people would be seen again.

He sighed, the crutches in his hand tinkled on the ground, and said loudly: "Okay, it seems that everyone doesn't have any heart to do work today, one by one is absent-minded, don't make things bad, just rest for a day today, everyone wants to do whatever they want, go by yourself!"

As soon as Muramasa's words came out, the people in the entire shed suddenly stood up happily one by one, "Thank you Muramasa, thank you Muramasa."

Everyone left their work behind and rushed outside, looking in the direction they were going, but it was the location of the village entrance.

Muramasa was stunned and muttered, "It's still early, they come all the way, it will take an hour or two, it's so windy outside, would you like to go outside to get cold?"

For those who are anxious to see their loved ones, this bit of wind and snow is really nothing? What's more, they're well fed and warmly clothed now.

Although the snow is not big, but after a long time, it still puts these people in silver clothes.

At this time, on the long snow, a team is trudging hard. In addition to the accompanying Ming army guards, the others were basically wounded soldiers, some were on crutches, some were hanging their arms, and some had their heads wrapped like zongzi, and blood stains could be seen on them. These people were able to walk on their own, and there were others who were now able to climb on plows or wagons, and their injuries were much worse.

These people were the first batch of captured soldiers from Shuanglian City who were resettled in Huangnishan Village.

The person who sent this group of wounded to Huangni Village was Cheng Xiaoyu, who brought back the villagers of Huangni Village, and he was very familiar with those people in Huangni Village, which was also convenient for the next resettlement work.

Walking side by side with Cheng Xiaoyu is a Qin person. Not long ago, he was also the leading officer of the Qin army escorting grain and grass to Shuanglian City, and the captain Wang Zunzhi.

After Liu Kui's troops were wiped out, Wang Zunzhi's grain team was surrounded by Ming cavalry, and Wang Zunzhi, who was desperate, finally chose to surrender.

"Brother Wang, are you really not going to stay in the army?" Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Wang Zunzhi and asked. With your resume and ability, if you stay in the Ming army, although you will be downgraded to one level, as long as you have combat merits, you will soon be able to rise back! The treatment of the Ming army is very high, you should understand it now, right?"

Wang Zunzhi shook his head: "No, I'm tired, I don't want to fight anymore, it's good now, take off my armor, and be a farmer who divides the land in An'an."

"To be a village leader?" Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Wang Zunzhi, "This is really a pity."

"It's not a pity, brother." Wang Zunzhi smiled and reached out to pat Cheng Xiaoyu's shoulder: "It depends on what you are pursuing!" For example, brother, what you want is to establish a great feat, which is naturally to gallop on the battlefield in the army, and I, now I want to rise at sunrise and rest at sunset. Lead the old cow, carry the hoe, face the rising sun, carry the sunset, and finally after you hit the Yongdu, I will be able to pick up my wife and children, and at that time, my children can still sit on the back of the cow, and when I get home, there is a wife leaning against the door, and there is a hot meal and hot food has been placed on the table."

"I'm so envious of what you're saying." Cheng Xiaoyu laughed, "Such days are indeed enviable."

"Brother Wang, don't worry, it won't be long before Yongdu will be defeated by us. Ma's father and son won't be able to jump for a few days!" Cheng Xiaoyu is full of confidence.

"Yongdu is the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty, the city is high and solid, Brother Cheng, the walls of Yongdu are all made of rocks, even if it is a stone bullet thrown by a heavy trebuchet, it can only make a few white marks on the city wall, and now in the city, in addition to 50,000 thunder troops, there are hundreds of thousands of young people, this battle is not necessarily easy to fight!"

"Brother Wang is too worried. I've heard our general say that the more people there are in Yongdu City, the faster they will fail!" Cheng Xiaoyu laughed. Grain and grass are their dead end. Now that all the acropolis outside Yongdu have been taken by us, Yongdu has been blocked by us from all the ways out, and the city of hundreds of thousands of people, how much does it consume every day, and Brother Wang also knows how long they can last?"

"That's exactly what I'm worried about." Wang Zunzhi looked in the direction of Yongdu, "If that day really comes, I don't know if my wife and children will survive."

Cheng Xiaoyu was also silent, and only after a while did he say: "Brother Wang, you are no longer in Yongdu City, Liu Kui is dead, so can your wives and children who stay in the city still get food?"

"It should still be provided for. Liu Kui and I, now in the city, should have died in battle, he and I are both officers of the Thunder Army, even if it is to stabilize the morale of the army, they will not cut off the food and grass of our wives and children now, if they really dare to do this, wouldn't it make the other Thunder Army feel cold, and the morale of the army will be dispersed. But the further back you go, the more uncertain it becomes." Wang Zunzhi was a little worried.

"Don't worry, Brother Wang, we will enter Yongdu City soon, don't forget to come over and find your wife and children quickly." Cheng Xiaoyu comforted him.

Wang Zunzhi smiled bitterly and nodded, Cheng Xiaoyu is just a small officer, how can he know the arrangements of the upper echelons of the Ming army, or in the eyes of the Ming army, when the Qin army is starved and half dead, it is the best time to attack. For the city, when it comes time to make a choice, the first to abandon must be those who cannot contribute to the defense of the city.

"Brother Cheng, do you really plan to find Liu Kui's family and support them?" Wang Zunzhi asked suddenly.

"Of course!" Cheng Xiaoyu didn't hesitate at all, and nodded vigorously: "Liu Kui spared my life, if he didn't spare his hand, I would have been a dead man a long time ago. If I owe him one life, I will pay him back two lives, how can my husband not believe his word?"

"Okay, you are a trustworthy person, Liu Kui's death is worth it, even if he kills you at that time, he will inevitably die next, he exchanged his death for your daughter, it's worth it."

"I don't know if he's worth it, but I only have one life, and if it's gone, it's really gone." Cheng Xiaoyu smiled, "To be a man, you must repay kindness and revenge."

Wang Zunzhi nodded silently, turned his head to look at the team struggling to advance in the snow, and said in a low voice: "More than half of the army of Shuanglian City has been killed, and listening to what you said, more than half of the family members who were driven out were frozen to death alive, whether these people or those people in Huangnishan Village, they are all full of hope and waiting to reunite with their relatives, but after all, I am afraid that only a few people can be reunited, hey, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, Brother Cheng, when it comes to the ground, I really dare not look at the scene at that time."

"There's no way around it." Cheng Xiaoyu also lost a smile on his face, "In the end, the people suffered, Brother Wang, my parents and brothers were frozen to death back then, and now what I want to think about is to end this war as soon as possible, and then everyone can live a good life."

"I hope so!" Wang Zunzhi: "We are all small people, and all we care about is ourselves and what is in front of us. If you can see, you stretch out your hand, and if you can't see, you can't see it, and you can't hear it."

The two of them slowly rode forward speechlessly, and after a while, they finally saw the curling smoke and houses in front of them, and Huangnishan Village was in front of them.

The wounded soldier's pace is getting faster!

And in the distance, there was also a faint sound of cheers.

And when the villagers of Huangni met with the first batch of wounded soldiers who arrived, in Pingtang City, they were experiencing a farewell. After the Shuanglian City was laid, several other acropolis were divided, the defense was more fragmented, the Ming army easily cut off their last food channel, these Acropolis Qin troops had to starve to death or go out of the city to choose a way, they did not have the courage of Shuanglian Lian Shaowen, and they all chose to abandon the city and retreat to Yongdu City.

The result is obvious, as soon as they left the city, they were immediately harassed and delayed by the Ming cavalry, and after paying a heavy price, only a very small number of them were lucky enough to escape back to Yongdu City.

At this point, the last few acropolis outside Yongdu City also fell into the hands of the Ming army.

Qin Feng decided to go back to the capital.

"Zhihua, a village like Huangnishan Village should be built as much as possible." Qin Feng said: "I'm afraid that there will be more and more refugees in the future, but I'm afraid that in the spring of next year, Yongdu City will also start to drive ordinary people out of the city to flee to reduce the pressure on food, we must prepare in advance, otherwise we will inevitably be in a hurry at that time."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Zhihua nodded and said: "Before the snow melts, our army will not have large-scale military operations, just find something for the soldiers to do, so as not to sleep in the tent after eating all day long."

"After I go back, I will arrange for the household department and the military department to send a large amount of grain to be stored, and the people who go out of the city must be settled, as long as it is in our hands, not one can starve to death." nt
