When Wu Nian left Beishan Castle and went to rescue Long Qie without stopping, it was still the end of the year. When he came back, it was already the beginning of the year.

It's just that the weather in the north is cold. Although it's the beginning of the year, there's still a long time before spring begins. The rolling peaks outside Beishan Fort are still covered with thick white snow.

But the snow on the fields outside Beishan Fort has been cleared away. Tents have been erected one after another, and many people are living in them.

There are militiamen maintaining order.

This is a matter of course. Beishan Fort is a place for one hundred households, and its carrying capacity is limited. Although Wu Nian built a mountain city on Mangya Mountain and divided some people.

But the current population of Beishan Fort is at least 60,000, and it may even reach 70,000. Two cities alone cannot accommodate so many people.

Temporarily settling outside the city and setting up tents to live became the only way.

Wu Nian looked around and nodded with satisfaction. Although the population was extremely large, there was no chaos among the people living here. Liu Zhixing was indeed a geek and did a good job.

When Wu Nian led his army outside Beishan Fort, the people came forward one after another. Men, women, old and young lined up on both sides of the road, bending down to greet him.

The flag with the word "Wu" fluttered in the wind, letting the people know who was coming.

Wu Nian, the general who assisted the Han Dynasty.

The general who brought them from Guangyang Mansion to Beishan Fort will rely on this big tree to fight the Mongolian people to the end from now on.

The news has spread.

Wu Nian and Wanyan showed off their generals in a duel, with no winner or loser (according to official propaganda). Among the millions of Han people in Liaodong, such a hero finally emerged.

The morale of the soldiers and civilians of Beishan Fort is now higher than the sky.

Wu Nian rode his war horse and rode calmly through the crowd of welcoming people. The soldiers who followed him all held their heads high and looked "honored".

This is the so-called new atmosphere.

In the past, the generals of Liaodong were local tyrants and evil gentry who exploited the people. Not to mention the relationship between the army and the people, the people were already burning incense if they were not in opposition to the generals of Liaodong.

Under the rule of Wu Nian, Beishan Fort paid special attention to the fish and water conditions of the military and civilians.

Serving as a soldier under Wu Nian means being respected by the people, which can give you a sense of honor. This sense of honor can make soldiers have high morale and be fearless of death.

Soon after, Wu Nian rode his horse to the city gate. He looked up and saw Liu Zhixing and Li Yong leading the crowd in front of him, waiting for him.

Wu Nian got off his horse and walked up. Behind him, Long Qie, Liu Wu and Wei Ru also got off their horses and followed him with a smile.

"Congratulations to the general on your triumphant return."

Liu Zhixing and Li Yong led the crowd and saluted Wu Nian with clasped fists.

"We are all brothers, you are welcome." Wu Nian thought that everyone was a brother, and of course he would not show any official authority. He helped everyone up one by one with a smile on his face, then glanced at Li Yong and said, "Old Li.

You look much better, which makes me feel relieved."

Before Liu Zhixing took office, Li Yong was very busy in the military and political affairs. He was so busy that he had deep dark circles under his eyes and he became extremely thin.

Wu Nian was very worried.

"Thanks to Liu Changshi, I sleep well, eat well, and gain weight." Li Yong glanced at Liu Zhixing and said to Wu Nian with a smile.

He admired Wu Nian very much. At that time, he also suspected that Liu Zhixing had a hairless mouth and was weak in his work. Now he looks so damn good.

Sure enough, professional matters should be handled by professional people. Now there are about 70,000 people in and outside the city. If you have to eat, drink, and drink only half a bucket of water, you may not be able to save your life.

"Hahaha." Wu Nian burst out laughing, then patted Li Yong on the shoulder, turned to look at Liu Zhixing, and saluted with a serious clasped fist, "Thank you for your hard work, sir."

"It's not hard. Compared with the general fighting outside, the humble position is easy." Liu Zhixing shook his head and said seriously.

These are words from the heart.

Although good news continued to come from the front, they conquered the second city, brought a large number of people and baggage, killed two Mongolian and Yuan thousands captains, and fought with Wan Yan to draw a draw.

Victory after victory is indeed a great boost to morale. But it is also dangerous.

Ten thousand households of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty went south, and most of the millions of people in Liaodong surrendered. What a powerful military force. Fighting against a general of ten thousand households like Wan Yanxian is tantamount to walking on a cliff. If you are not careful, you will be killed.

Will be defeated, life and death.

Compared with Wu Nian fighting outside, managing civil affairs in Beishan Fort was simply a comfortable place.

"Sir, don't belittle yourself. It's precisely because you and Lao Li are taking care of me from behind that I can fight outside with peace of mind. We each have our own role, and none of us can live without the other."

Wu Nian shook his head seriously, stretched out his right hand and patted Liu Zhixing's shoulder. He had a positive attitude towards Liu Zhixing and Li Yong's contribution.

"Thank you, General." Liu Zhixing actually didn't care about credit or not. He was determined to fight against Mongolia, but he was always happy to be praised. He couldn't help but smile and thanked him.

Wu Nian chatted with everyone for a while, then asked the large group of people to stay outside, and entered the Beishan Castle with only important people and a small number of soldiers.

As soon as he entered Beishan Fort, Wu Nian noticed a difference. The road seemed wider, and the buildings on both sides of the road were somewhat different from those in his memory.

"Sir, did you renovate Beishan Fort?" Wu Nian looked around and then turned to Liu Zhixing and said.

"Yes, General. In order to allow Beishan Fort to accommodate more people, I have made certain changes to it. For example, the single-door courtyard has become smaller. The original two- and three-entry mansions have been demolished.

Some. In order to facilitate the deployment of troops, I built the roads wider."

"Currently, Beishan Fort can accommodate 20,000 people and two thousand households without appearing crowded."

Liu Zhixing nodded and said with a smile.

"Well, well done." Wu Nian nodded with satisfaction when he heard this. A castle like Beishan Castle can carry more people and is more conducive to defense.

This is a good thing.

There were also many people on both sides of the road in the castle, welcoming Wu Nian. Occasionally, Wu Nian could see familiar faces.

The military household of Beishan Fort in the beginning.

Soon the road came to an end, and General Fu Han's mansion arrived. Wu Nian got off his horse, entered the mansion with everyone, and sat down in the main room.

On the Grand Master's chair, Wu Nian put his hands on the armrests, raised his head and looked at the skeletons sitting on both sides.

There are long histories of Liu Zhixing and Sima Li Yong.

Long Qie, Zhang Jin, Wei Ru, Tieniu, Liu Wu, Chen Jiagui, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng and other ten people.

As time goes by, his team here is getting stronger and stronger. And the backbones are also growing.

Yes, it will definitely work.

Recover Liaodong and expel the Tartars.

Wu Nian's tiger eyes flashed away, and he was full of confidence in the future.
