"General!" At the same moment, several generals, including Lieutenant Qin and Lieutenant Yuan, along with Liang Jie, jogged up to Gu Qian and saluted with clasped hands.
Liang Jie glanced at Qiu Yan with surprise, then knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist and asked Gu Qian:
"General Gu, are you heading back?"
Gu Qian: "Well, this general is going back now. Liang Jie, I'll leave this mess in Northern Qi to you for now."
Fortunately, he persuaded Liang Jie to surrender; otherwise, he would have had to go through the trouble of finding someone to clean up this mess.
“This…” Liang Jie hesitated for a moment.
"General, more than half of our former Northern Qi soldiers and civilians have lost their homes. Those who could go home have gone back, but those who can't..."
Liang Jie paused,
How will they survive in the future?
Also, how should we settle the refugees?
He knew that it was not the right time to ask General Gu about the fate of the refugees and soldiers.
After all, General Gu is blind, so he has no time or inclination to deal with these matters.
However, with winter fast approaching, the soldiers and refugees would not be able to get through the winter safely without anyone taking care of them.
I'm afraid they'll either starve or freeze to death.
This morning, he already felt a cool chill.
Gu Qian was only concerned with fighting the war and really didn't know how to settle the remnants of the Northern Qi soldiers and refugees.
The army was easy to settle, but the refugees from Northern Qi were a problem for him.
You should know that he had never considered such a thing before.
However, now that the Northern Qi has fallen under the control of Dongjin, the people cannot be ignored.
Gu Qian fell into deep thought...
While Qiu Yan and Qiu Dayu were catching up, Zhao Jun and the others looked at her with surprise.
However, they all knew about Qiu Yan's relationship with the general, so they simply waved to her and greeted her with a smile.
Qiu Yan made no attempt at small talk; she knew the army was about to set off.
Turning around, she bumped into Zhao Zheng, only managing a slight smile and nod.
There were few words exchanged between the two, and then Qiu Yan walked towards Gu Qian.
At this moment, Gu Qian was still deep in thought about how to settle the refugees from Northern Qi.
Upon seeing Qiu Yan, he asked her:
"Yan Yan, in your opinion, how should we settle the soldiers and refugees of Northern Qi?"
He was desperate and would try anything.
Qiu Yan thought for a moment,
"The Northern Qi was not completely destroyed; didn't it still retain more than half of its cities?"
"Yan Yan is indeed intelligent." Gu Qian nodded. In fact, he had already said this earlier, but Liang Jie said that the cities were also running out of food.
In addition, there are too many refugees, so this approach won't work.
But in Gu Qian's view, even if it doesn't work, it has to be done.
He then said to Liang Jie:
"Liang Jie, starting today, you will be in charge. Appoint a few capable confidants and have them settle the refugees and soldiers in the remaining cities one by one. First, find a place for the people to live, then order the local officials to open the granaries and distribute food. After the New Year, His Majesty will make arrangements."
Now that the battle is over, let's leave the rest to He Lin.
"Okay, alright." Liang Jie's face was bitter. He actually wanted to ask Gu Qian for some food.
Everyone knows how difficult life has been for the people of Northern Qi in recent years.
This winter is bound to be tough.
In fact, Dongjin didn't have much grain either.
After everything was arranged, the army continued its march.
On the road, inside the carriage,
Gu Qian sat alone on one side, while Qiu Yan and Gu Xiaoran sat on the other side.
Gu Xiaoran was no longer as boisterous as before, and simply nestled in Qiu Yan's arms.
"Mother, when are you going to treat Father's eyes?"
