While Xia Qingfeng was busy with the two maids, Cang Ji came over and said, "Madam, the arrangements have been made."
Xia Qingfeng handed over the matters at hand to Doctor Qian who had been following him, and walked out.
They came to a vacant courtyard. The courtyard wall here was intact, but the roof of the house collapsed in half. Xia Qingfeng asked Cang Ji to guard outside while he walked in. Soon the courtyard was filled with food.
"Send someone to inform Mr. Sun to come and collect food!"
"yes!"
With the guidance and participation of Xia Qingfeng and the others, the treatment speed increased. Eagle Guard also joined in, looking for reinforcement materials and transporting patients. They were busy until late at night, and most of the patients were treated.
Mr. Sun also notified counties and towns to send seriously injured patients from nearby villages to the county governor's house. Now that there is food, the disaster has been alleviated.
As for the source of food, it was not Xia Qingfeng's responsibility. Cang Ji was one of the four guards under Cang Qiyuan, so his words were more convincing.
Everyone here is busy with disaster relief, but the heavy snow is still falling in Xianbei. The heavy snowfall that has lasted for a week shows no signs of stopping.
"Go back!" A tall man clenched his fists tightly.
"yes!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Five days later, the royal palace in Shengle Capital City.
"Son! You are back. It has been snowing heavily for twelve days! The weapons have been prepared and everything is ready, just waiting for the spring to go south. But now more than half of the livestock have died from the freeze, and there have been many casualties among the people. If If the stored military rations are distributed to the people, then all our preparations over the years will be in vain." Xianbei Great Khan Murong Qi said unwillingly.
"Father, we have been preparing for three whole years and we cannot fall short. Now Youzhou has also experienced a snow disaster. Although it is not as severe as ours, it is also busy with disaster relief. It is when the border defense is at its weakest. We might as well go and grab some. , as long as we can survive this winter, we can raise troops as planned in the spring."
"Okay, what are you going to do?"
"My child thinks so..."
It has been more than ten days since the snow disaster ended. Basically, the rescue work has been completed. Now we only need to settle the victims. Fortunately, there was food that Xia Qingfeng had stored in the space. Of course, most of them were collected from the second and third princes.
Later, Ling Xiaoyu also transported food here several times through Xu Xiaoxiao.
Now, the counties in Youzhou are basically stable, and they are just waiting for the ice and snow to melt in spring before the people can rebuild their homes.
Xia Minzheng also stayed in Yuyang County and directly took over the job of the former county governor.
Mrs. Xia is also going to Yuyang County with her servants. The people who followed Madam to Yuyang County were the same servants and servants who had taken care of them here before. In more than half a year, they have become familiar with their lives and daily habits, and take good care of them. Cang Qiyuan also sent four more Eagle Guards to them on the basis of the original two Eagle Guards.
Cang Qiyuan also received news of a snow disaster in most areas of Xianbei, and the disaster was more serious. Many people froze to death and countless livestock died. He expected that Xianbei might go south to rob them recently. So, troop training was stepped up, and Cang Jian also took Xiao An to the military camp. Coal and iron ore from Bingzhou had been shipped in large quantities, and now they had to step up their efforts to manufacture weapons.
Ling Xiaoyu also arranged for people from the Ministry of Industry to step up the production of weapons. Because the technology has matured and all the equipment has been completed, the forging of weapons has never been interrupted. A large number of weapons were continuously sent to Youzhou through Xu Xiaoxiao's space to arm the army here.
Not only the state government, but also nearly one-third of the soldiers in the army of other counties have new weapons.
Cang Qiyuan sent a message to each county guard to intensify military training, and selected elite troops during the military training to form a small team, giving priority to arming the elite troops with new weapons. As a result, the morale of the army was unprecedentedly high, and everyone was proud to obtain new weapons.
Xu Xiaoxiao and Ling Xiaoyu also handed over drawings such as the ratio of firecrackers and bombs to Cang Qiyuan.
After receiving the drawings, Cang Qiyuan has been stationed in a remote mountain near the military camp and stepped up experiments.
Everyone is busy and seems to be racing against time.
After Xia Qingfeng finished the disaster relief work in Liaoxi County, he rushed to Yuyang County with his two apprentices. His father had already taken office in Yuyang County, and his mother would arrive immediately, so Xia Qingfeng planned to stay in Yuyang County for a few days. After helping his parents take care of the household affairs, he will return to Youzhou.
At this time, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month had already passed, and there was no festive atmosphere. Everyone was busy with disaster relief.
As for the Holy Capital City, Prince Murong Tu also organized 5,000 cavalry to prepare to go south to seize food and grass.
These 5,000 cavalrymen were all elites in the army. They only brought five days of dry food. For them, they had to hurry on this journey and arrive in five days. The remaining food was all plundered by Dayu.
Before setting off, Murong Tu said to the warriors: "The food of Dayu is better than ours, and the women of Dayu are more beautiful than our women. We don't need to bring anything with us. As long as we bring scimitars, everyone who wants to We can take whatever you want!"
The warriors were excited and shouted: "Take it! Take it! Take it!" It seemed that Dayu's money and women were already in their possession.
They were galloping all the way and were in full swing. When Dayu's scouts hiding in Xianbei saw it, they quickly passed the news back. The county guards who received the news quickly deployed their defenses and their troops were ready.
In fact, there was a Great Wall between Dayu and Xianbei, but the boundary line was too long and the number of troops was limited, so they could not be fortified everywhere. In addition, spies often sneaked into the city, and the walls in some places were damaged. You can't be sure which county they will attack.
These 5,000 cavalry did not go to Liaoxi County, because it had been trampled by their cavalry many times, and they knew that they had nothing to grab. What's more, the scouts hidden in the Kingdom of Dayu sent news that this snow disaster Liaoxi County was the most severely affected, and may be even poorer than them now.
Therefore, their target this time is Yuyang County.
I heard that Yuyang County has a new governor. This new official is unfamiliar with the place, and the army here is said to be less than 10,000 people. If attacked by surprise, they can easily succeed.
Their purpose was to win a quick victory. After all, Yuyang County was too close to the state capital, and they had to leave immediately after plundering before reinforcements arrived.
Their purpose this time is to grab food and transport it back to the country as quickly as possible. When they survive this winter and spring comes next year, their army's cavalry will break through Youzhou City and march straight into the Central Plains.
