Snow flakes were falling from the sky one after another, spitting out white mist, Han Gang rubbed his hands and looked up at the sky.

The gloomy sky is an endless plain light gray, dead and empty. The mountains covered with only patches of white snowflakes add some brightness to the dark-toned world.

This is the fourth snow of this winter, and in Han Gang's diary that he records every day, the first three snowfalls he experienced were all small snow droplets, which stopped after half a day. Only today's snowfall, which began in the morning, is the first precipitation that is truly useful for agriculture.

The heavy snowfall in early October bodes well for farming. If this snow is a precursor, and the next two or three months continue to fall, next year's harvest should not be too bad.

Two days ago, a good news came from Longxi County, under the auspices of his father Han Qianliu and a group of officials in charge of Tuntian affairs, the current war did not affect the reclamation and sowing of the Tongyuan Army this year. However, compared with last year, the number of acres of land has only increased by 10%, which has to be said to be a setback for the work of cultivating land that has just begun for one year.

But Han Gang didn't have time to care about these now, and the first batch of people from Qinzhou, totaling more than 2,800 people, had already arrived at Weiyuan Fort later today.

It is also in the winter to receive the people. When he was in Luo Wu last year, Han Gang had already accumulated a lot of management experience, and now he has many capable officials under him, and in the military hospital in Weiyuan, there are more than a dozen talents who are skilled in treating frostbite and trauma. This makes Han Gang deal with the work that will make ordinary officials complain, as easy and simple as eating and drinking - there is a division to teach 'the Son of Heaven hangs his clothes and the world rules', and Han Gang can now settle thousands of people with his arms in his arms.

There were more than 3,000 people, and the camp suddenly became bustling. These strong men who were recruited from the counties of Qinzhou, walking in the wind and snow of the cold winter wax moon, most of them were already shivering from the cold, and they didn't feel it when they walked, but when they stopped now, they suddenly became blue and white. If this situation of cold and starvation continues, it will inevitably be followed by a serious illness that spreads throughout the camp.

Fortunately, Han Gang was prepared. Everything is planned in advance and carried out in an orderly manner.

On the inside of the entrance to the camp, he discharged thirty cauldrons. The flame under the pot is blazing, and the water in the pot is churning. The misty heat exuded the smell of meat around it. In a big battle a few days ago, Han Gang had a lot of injured and dead horses on his hands, and there were five or six hundred. These are all fine meats, which are not perishable in winter, not only so that the soldiers of Weiyuan Fort can open meat every day, but also enjoy a lot of the people who can come to Weiyuan.

The soldiers selected by Han Gang from Weiyuan Fort handed bowls of hot soup to warm up their bodies and pieces of equally steaming cooking cakes to these people who had been requisitioned from their hometowns hundreds of miles away. In terms of the food provided to the people, Han Gang did not discount it at all.

After a day of running, they were all tired, and they drove down hundreds of miles in a row, even the iron men began to be exhausted, and everyone was hungry and tired. They watched the wind and snow on the road, hoping that when they reached the ground, they would have hot water to drink and dry food to fill their stomachs. Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the camp, they were treated far beyond their imagination. Picking up the bowl and smelling the aroma of horse meat in the soup, the heart-warming heat came from the palm of the hand, and a heartfelt sound of gratitude came out of the ranks of the people.

After drinking the hot soup and eating the pancakes, thousands of people were guided to the camp assigned to them in different queues.

The camp was set up in a leeward part of the camp, but the makeshift houses did not lack the function of sheltering from the wind and snow. Although Han Gang couldn't make a fire for them to warm because of the lack of firewood, grass and coal in his hands, there was enough hay in the camp for the war horses. A thick layer is spread on top of the bunk, and many people gather in one room, which is not too cold.

If after a thousand years, Han Gang's arrangement can be regarded as abuse, no army or factory will treat soldiers and workers like this. But in today's era, it is already Han Gang's preferential treatment as much as possible within the scope of the conditions.

And the people were apparently satisfied. From the news that Han Gang privately inquired about, the treatment that this group of people received when they passed through Longxi County two days ago was very different from what Han Gang gave them now - this reward made Han Gang have more disdain and disgust for Cai Yu, who was forced to pass through Weiyuan and go to Lintao only yesterday.

How to arrange the food and accommodation of the people, stabilize their mood, so that they will not be caused by large-scale attrition due to long marches and water and soil adaptation, and still maintain above the standard morale and enough energy to complete the work they urgently need to complete. This seemingly simple task is actually not easier than marching and fighting, and officials who can do a good job can at least get an evaluation of a capable official.

And the level shown by Han Gang is even better than that of a capable official. His popularity made the people feel at ease, prepared adequate food and accommodation, and made the people spiritual. Moreover, he secretly publicized the recent achievements of the official army and resolved the hidden worries in the hearts of the people. Originally, there was a football match in Han Gang's plan to add a little entertainment to the marching life of the people, but it was terminated because of today's heavy snowfall.

Look at the notoriety that Cai Xi presided over the reception of Longxi City and left behind in the hearts of the people, and then look at everything that he Han Gang prepared in Weiyuan Fort. If you compare Cai Yu's management methods with himself, Han Gang feels that this is a great insult.

After inspecting the camp of the people and receiving a sound of gratitude, Han Gang was transferred to the military hospital.

Although it is a temporary treatment place, and because there is no space for recuperation of injuries and illnesses, it is not named a sanatorium, but this camp is still the best location and conditions in Weiyuan Fort.

In the battle a few days ago, when defending the city, relying on military weapons such as strong bows and crossbows and thunderbolt cannons, Han Gang's command did not have many casualties, and when the generals of the Guangrui Army went out to pursue, the casualties were not large. It's just that Wang Junwan led the team to hunt down the remnants, and the accompanying Fan people were injured a lot. Now these wounded soldiers are being treated in the hospital, and there are as many as 100 on both sides of the Han Dynasty, but only one-third are seriously wounded, and the rest are mostly minor injuries to the flesh and skin, but they only hurt their legs and feet, making it difficult to move.

These injuries are full of energy, lying in bed is extremely boring, and there is nothing to do to find out. When Han Gang came in, the wounded were gambling in full swing, and it wasn't just the Han people who shouted for six - two horn dice, just six sides, even the Fan people could count the points on them.

Dozens of people gathered around a table, and the sound of clanging dice could be heard in the tightly packed crowd. The Fan and Han Chinese, head to head, shoulder to shoulder, nervously stared at the rolling dice in the bowl. A few of them had plaster casts on their legs, and because they were kept out of the crowd, they jumped on one foot and looked inside.

Shi Yuben, the director of this field hospital, was one of the thirty people who followed Han Gang from Qinzhou to Gangu City. Like Zhu Zhong, who has now been transferred to Yanzhou to preside over the sanatorium, he has changed his life by relying on Han Gang.

Accompanying Han Gang to walk in, seeing the wounded soldiers gambling together, Shi Yuben's face became very ugly. coughed vigorously, and several wounded soldiers on the periphery turned back lazily when they heard the sound, but they could see it. Han ...... Han Jiyi! ”

This call is like stabbing a hornet's nest, and there is a burst of chickens and dogs.

Han Gang looked at them, and they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, along with the Tibetan people. shook his head and sighed with a smile, "Don't lie back yet, so you can recuperate!" ”

As if they had been amnestied, they hurriedly went to bed and lay down, and they didn't want any money on the table.

Han Gang smiled at Shi Yuben, whose face was still pale, "It looks like you don't have to worry about their injuries." ”

Shi Yu was submissive and led Han Gang into the inner room.

Han Gang did not come here to visit the wounded soldiers, but to find the blind Wu Qi who lived in the courtyard.

In this battle, Weiyuan Fort captured more than 1,000 heads of the Tibetan people. Although Han Gang could be sure that many of them must have been fakes from the tribes that lived nearby—because in the last two days, there had been reports from sentinels that several small tribes had been wiped out in the thirty miles near Weiyuan Fort—but at a discount, there were also seven or eight hundred genuine goods.

The leader was killed and captured, and most of the main combat power was lost. The two tribes separated from Mu Zheng's hands, they are in the land of the river, and it can be said that they have been removed. Wang Shao didn't have such a big credit in Lintao City, but Han Gang, as a transfer with the army, was able to monopolize this credit, not that no one was hot, but they were also jealous. It wasn't Han Gang who snatched it from them, but Blind Wu Qi and Wu Yanzheng sent it to the door themselves.

Blind Wu Qi was not lightly injured, and after being amputated, he couldn't get out of bed in a short time. And Han Gang looked at him, his pale face was the same as before, and he had no intention of getting up, and the blow of defeat had a great impact on him.

According to Wang Shao's orders, Han Gang needed to convince Blind Wu Qi to counter Mu Zheng's influence in the Wusheng army. It's a much easier task. After the blind Wu Qi was captured, there were only two ways in front of him, one was to be beheaded for public display, and the other was to be an official in the Great Song Dynasty.

But when he saw the blind Wu Qi after the operation for the first time two days ago, he quickly fell asleep, and Han Gang waited for two days and heard that he had enough energy before he came to see him again.

With Blind Wu Qi, he can resist Mu Zheng's orders to the Fan troops of the Wusheng Army. The Tibetan people respect the bloodline of Songtsan Gampo, and now they are obeying the orders of Mu Zheng to supply grain and grass to Yuzang Huama. But if the two Zamp families convey diametrically opposed orders to them, their choice will only be in their favor.

——It is not a difficult question to enjoy the same rich life as the Qingtang Department under the tent of the Song people, or to follow Mu Zheng and continue to fight with the Song people day and night.

Han Gang came to see Mu Zheng's younger brother for the second time, and his tone was still stern, "Blind Wu Qi, where to go, it's time to make a decision!" ”

Blind Wu Qi closed his eyes. After a while, he struggled to sit up and bowed his head to Han Gang, "The opportunity is fateful, how dare the villain disobey...... The villain is willing to surrender. ”
