Zhao Ming looked as usual when he heard this. There were some things he hadn't settled with them yet.
Darhan was okay, but Mao Ming'an was really pulling his hips. If he hadn't sent someone to top it up in time in the end, the right wing would have been completely defeated.
This defeat, coupled with the 800 cavalry that followed the opponent's pressure, it was really hard to say whether they would win or lose.
Once morale breaks even a small amount, it is like a dam that bursts and is unstoppable.
But the defeat of the Maoming'an tribe was actually excusable. Beishan was captured, Wang Beibei was killed, and the two backbones of the Maoming'an tribe were gone. The morale was already very low. It is simply not comparable to Darhan led by Baoshan.
But Zhao Ming has already made a decision about the close relationship between the two films.
"We should be there soon, let's speed up!"
Zhao Ming looked at the bonfire that could be vaguely seen in the distance and urged.
After about ten minutes, the large army finally rushed back to Huozhongtun.
After crossing the temporary wooden bridge across the river, everyone arrived at Huozhongtun on the other side of the river bank.
It is indeed somewhat easy to defend and difficult to attack here. It is surrounded by mountains, and the only open area is blocked by a river.
After everyone crossed the river, the brothers from Huo Zhongtun immediately dragged the temporary wooden bridge back.
Zhao Ming led his brothers towards the camp. The river was about four to five hundred meters away from the camp.
Looking around, you can see several sentry towers built near the river bank.
"Master Zhao, according to your instructions, I have already built these sentry towers nearby, because it is easier if the time is tight."
Zhang He explained from the side.
"Well, that's pretty good. It would be nice to have a place with a high visibility to be on guard."
Zhao Ming nodded, these sentry towers are really simple.
A sentry tower less than three meters high was randomly built with a few pieces of wood. Its wind-shielding effect was almost the same as that of an object. Fortunately, a straw shed was built on top, which could at least block the rain and snow.
When Zhao Ming arrived at the camp, the place immediately became lively.
Zhao Ming had been to Huo Zhongtun once before, but this time was obviously different from the last time.
A few more large sheds have been expanded, but it can be seen that these sheds are purely converted from the previous cattle and sheep pens. From a distance, some herdsmen can be seen spreading shoveled plant ash on the ground inside the sheds.
On the one hand, it is used to dispel the odor in the cowshed, and on the other hand, it is used for drying and heat preservation.
The cattle and sheep were temporarily fenced with wood near the sheds.
Some cattle and sheep can still have shelter from wind and rain, but most of them can only be penned in the open air.
There is nothing we can do about it. The first priority is to ensure that people have a place to live, followed by cattle and sheep.
With the addition of two herdsmen from Darhan Maoming'an and the cattle and sheep they brought, this place was even more insufficient.
Secondly, more than 20 tribes from the Huozhongtun and Pingqiantun areas also moved here, and the people here swelled up as if they were inflated. The herds of cattle and sheep are even more densely packed.
Zhao Ming just walked around Huo Zhongtun and was surprised that the camp occupied less space than the cattle and sheep.
At this time, Ah Fu, who had been responsible for the relocation and resettlement, trotted over.
"Uncle!"
"How many people are here now? How many cattle and sheep?" Zhao Ming directly asked the key points.
"Uh...Sister-in-law, there are quite a lot of cattle and sheep. I'm not sure exactly. I estimate that the total number of cattle, sheep and horses is nearly 10,000.
As for the number of people, there were even more people. The twenty or thirty tribes combined totaled nearly tens of thousands of people.
But don't worry, uncle, you don't have to worry about where you live.
I made preparations here a few days ago. Although the environment where everyone lives will be a little worse at first, I believe that after we are busy working during the day, the place where we live will be much more comfortable.
But the trouble is still food, uncle... you didn't say before that there would be so many people.
The food we have here, even if we add the cattle and sheep, even if they are all slaughtered... this can only last for a month or two at most.
But this winter is still very long...it is impossible for the herdsmen to let us slaughter all the cattle and sheep they have worked so hard to raise..."
Ah Fu said with a embarrassed look on his face.
Managing people in Fengjiazhuang is really not the same thing as managing people on the grassland. He can only discuss many things with Lao Suntou.
For example, he learned from Lao Suntou that you cannot kill all the herdsmen's cattle and sheep, but at most 70%, and the rest must be kept as sheep and cattle breeding, otherwise they will fight you desperately.
Regarding this, the herdsmen regard this as more important than their own lives.
Zhao Ming was also worried about eating this piece.
Since the Outer Mongolians have gone south, it is obvious that they will not be able to evacuate in a short time. They must make enough money before they can go back.
This time may be one month, it may be two months, or even half a year and a year is not impossible.
Regarding food control, Zhao Ming plans to start tomorrow.
The first thing is to manage the food in a unified manner. Otherwise, it will be difficult to say whether we can sustain it for one month, let alone two months.
Returning to the bonfire, the brothers who had just returned from the Zhensong Army and the other two herdsmen were resting around the bonfire holding hot mutton soup.
"You...you should drink some too! Be careful, it's a little hot!"
Seeing Zhao Ming coming, Tao Yan, who had been paying attention for a long time, hurriedly came over holding a ceramic bowl.
Looking at the hot and steaming mutton soup inside, as well as the large chunks of mutton that were obviously more than others, Zhao Ming looked at the woman in front of him and nodded with a smile.
Not to mention, the longer we spend together, the more beautiful this woman becomes.
It should be said that it was very good-looking, but Zhao Ming had never stayed on the other person's face for too long before. There were too many things to worry about, so he couldn't have the time.
But I have really put on weight recently on the grassland. I have enough food and clothing to think about lust, and my energy is extremely full in my spare time. Naturally, I will inevitably make mistakes.
Through frequent in-depth and simple exchanges with Tao Yan, Zhao Ming understood this woman quite well.
By comparison, Feng Yunyun is younger and better looking.
But Tao Yan also has Tao Yan's advantages. She has a very hot figure and a mature charm, like a ripe peach.
With very slender legs, round hips and a pair of big lights, Zhao Ming felt that Tao Yan might be more attractive than Feng Yunyun in a cheongsam.
But that's normal. Zhao Ming has always felt that cheongsam must have some experience, and only women who are mature enough in age can wear it with the most charm.
But why didn't you feel that this woman had such a good figure before? Maybe it was because I was too thin before, but now my nutrition has improved, and my original foundation suddenly became highlighted.
Taking the big bowl, Zhao Ming sat down next to Monkey and Wang Er, listening to Monkey bragging in front of Wang Er about how brave he was in the battle just now.
When Zhao Ming first saw Wang Er, he was a thorn in his side.
But as we get to know each other better, we realize that this is a person who likes to listen quietly to others.
And this kind of person is what Monkey likes the most, because no one will stand up to him.
Zhao Ming even wondered what kind of woman she would be like in the future to be able to tolerate his endless verbosity.
Even the water-cooled Maxim can't output with his mouth. Maxim needs to be cooled down, and it has high-frequency output without cooling.
