After Wu Ping and the others came in, Huo Gang pointed to several long wooden stools in the room and said, "Sit." ”

At first glance, these stools were also made by Wu Ping, and it is estimated that other people can't have them at all, Huo Gang has a total of five benches here.

Speaking of which, although Huo Gang's tent is large, there are very few things in it, that is, a wooden bed, covered with sheep felt, sheepskin, and quilts.

There was also a wooden square table, five benches, and a cross made of wood, and a basin stand for washing the face with a wooden basin, so there was nothing left for the first time.

But Huo Gang believed that the furniture in his tent was still the most extravagant, because in this Western Regions, even the most common wood in other places was the most extravagant!

"Yes!" The few people who came in looked at each other, but Huo Zheng sat directly on one of the stools.

Seeing Huo Zheng sit down, everyone else also sat down.

"Mr. Wu, what's going on with this Wan'er?" After they all sat down, Huo Gang asked directly.

"General, that's the case, Wan'er, this little girl has no family, and she has always been taken care of by us before, but now that we have all settled, it is not good for her to go to anyone's house, and I am an old bone, and I have no ability to take care of her."

"The most important thing is that she doesn't even have a place to live, so I thought, General, there is also a lack of a person around you to fetch water to wash your face and feet for the General, I know that General you don't need someone to take care of you, but General, you should save someone's life, if she goes out, maybe she will freeze to death outside, General, can you bear to see this little girl frozen to death outside?" Wu Ping arched his hand at Huo Gang, and then said with a calm face.

Huo Gang: "......"

Huo Gang's face was helpless, he was directly blocked by Wu Ping's mouth, and he was sure that Wan'er's appearance here was definitely arranged by Wu Ping, and it was impossible that she couldn't survive outside.

Isn't this nonsense? Her parents didn't just die, if she couldn't survive outside, how did she survive in the past few years?

But Wu Ping has already said it here, what else can Huo Gang say?

After a pause, Huo just spoke: "Okay, before our situation is not stable, I don't want this kind of thing to happen a second time in the future." ”

"Please rest assured, General, you just want more maids now, and there is no place for you to find them." Wu Ping's face was calm.

Huo Gang: "......"

He wanted to hit someone, he felt that Wu Ping just felt that he didn't have a few days to live at his age, so it didn't matter what he said, right?

"Alright, let's get down to business." Huo Gang didn't bother to dwell on this issue.

"First of all, the food crisis, we should solve it for the time being, the current grain counts the cattle and sheep that we can slaughter, if the distribution is reasonable, there should be no problem to eat for two months."

"However, we now have a total of 1,187 cavalry, which is all our strength." Huo Gang said in a serious tone, "But in the same way, their war horses and so on, Mr. Wu, you should have seen them, they are all elites, but elite means that they eat much more than ordinary people." ”

"Whether it's horses or people, and the point is, because of our current situation, we slaughtered three Turkic tribes, and the Turks will inevitably react, and our situation is very dangerous until the next attack of the enemy is repulsed, so during this time, these more than 1,100 soldiers have no way to assist you in construction."

"In other words, Mr. Wu, the logistics will be handed over to more than a thousand of you." Huo Gang looked at Wu Ping seriously and said.

Wu Ping's expression also became serious: "Please rest assured, the general will leave these things to us, if there is anything, the general will give orders, and the old man will work hard to complete it." ”

"Very good, that's right, we have taken the Turkic tribes near Yangguan, the three oases there are within our control, and we have also seized the Turkic cattle and sheep in our hands, but these cattle and sheep can only be raised in the original Turkic tribes."

"So, Mr. Wu, you have to select some of our people to go to Yangguan to take care of our cattle, sheep and horses."

Wu Ping thought for a while: "It's no problem to elect people, but do the generals have any requirements for candidates?" ”

Huo Gang pondered for a moment before he spoke: "How many of our people can ride horses?" ”

In the past, horses were strategic materials for Huo Gang and them, but now they have more than 7,000 sheep and more than 300 cattle in their hands, and the horses are close to 1,000 if you count the Turkic cavalry that they directly exterminated.

In this way, these horses will be enough to distribute a portion of these ordinary people, and in this way, their mobility will be greatly increased.

Besides, there are more than 7,000 cattle and sheep, and if you don't ride horses, herding sheep is also a problem.

"Because we didn't have a lot of horses before, there weren't many ordinary people who could ride horses." Wu Ping smiled bitterly.

"Wang Shan." Huo Gang said decisively.

"The end will be."

"Starting tomorrow, Mr. Wu, you select a hundred people to prepare to go to Yangguan, and choose according to a family, because when you go to Yangguan, more people are herding sheep and cattle, and children are also competent for such tasks, and they don't need to be young and strong, but the task here in Yumen Pass is heavier." Huo Gang said decisively.

"Wang Shan, your task is to be responsible for teaching these people to ride horses, giving you a day, you don't need them to be proficient, you just need them to ride."

"Yes!" Wang Shan immediately agreed.

"In addition, here in Yumen Pass, Mr. Wu, you send someone to follow the river, tidy up the river, and try to let the river flow towards the location of Yangguan, the river has more detours, in this way, you can water more land."

"Yes!"

Because almost all of the Gobi Desert near Yumen Pass, although Huo Gang dredged the underground water veins and let the underground river here re-emerge, but this is an underground river after all, and the water flow is not large, and the Gobi Desert here has a fast seepage rate, so the river expands very slowly, and it has not flowed far for two days.

However, as time goes by, when the land through which these rivers flow becomes more and more abundant, the river basin will naturally increase, and it would be better if it could be connected to Yangguan.

"Also, Mr. Wu, you need to prepare a convoy, with the tall carts of the Turks we brought back, and then send the convoy to Yangguan, where there are two large woods, and the rebuilding of Yumen Pass requires wood." Huo Gang added.

The tall chariots mentioned by Huo Gang are actually the Lele chariots commonly used by the Mongolian people in later generations, that is, horse-drawn carriages with large wheels but narrow bodies, but they are very suitable for the environment of the grassland and the Gobi. Leleche is famous because of the Mongols, but Leleche was not invented by the Mongols, in fact, the Huns were already able to build horse-drawn carriages as early as the Qin and Han dynasties.
