"General." Wu Ping was right in front of the crowd. When Huo Gang arrived, he took the lead in bowing and bowing. The ordinary people following Wu Ping also followed suit and saluted Huo Gang in a mess.

"You don't have to be polite, Mr. Wu, please let me go to the front to help drive the cattle and sheep back." Huo Gang nodded, pointed to the flock of sheep that was still far behind him and spoke.

"It's the general!"

Wu Ping quickly directed the crowd behind to go to the distance to help drive the sheep, and took the opportunity to let the flock of cattle and sheep disperse.

After Wu Ping finished handling it, Huo Gang asked: "Mr. Wu, is something happening at home?"

"Yes, general... it's a good thing, general come with me." Wu Ping thought for a while, then spoke decisively.

A young man next to him had already handed over a rein. Although Wu Ping's hair and beard were white, his body was still rolling over the horse. This was an old horse and the speed was not too fast. Wu Ping took them directly through the center of Yumen Pass and walked towards the oasis to the north.

When Huo Gang and his friends arrived in the north of the city, Huo Gang immediately saw a touch of green in the north of the city. It was not the reeds and other reeds in the oasis before, but a touch of very familiar things.

"Is this alfalfa?" Huo Gang asked in surprise. Is there already alfalfa in this era? Huo Gang really doesn't know about this, but Huo Gang knew alfalfa in later generations. His grandfather once planted half an acre of land to be used as feed for raising sheep.

Alfalfa is one of the high-quality forage grasses. Although it is not considered the top ten forage grasses, mainly because its yield is not as many as the top ten high-quality forage grasses such as Huangzhu grass, but alfalfa also has its advantages, that is, it is very nutritious and is a perennial herb.

Basically, it can be harvested in multiple crops after planting, and can also safely overwinter at temperatures of minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius. Not only does it with drought resistance, it has high yields and excellent quality, and can improve the soil.

Huo Gang really didn't know that alfalfa actually existed in the Tang Dynasty, but he was sure that when he came to Yumen Pass before, there were only ordinary grasses such as moss and reeds suitable for growing here in the oasis in the north.

"Yes, general, we had some alfalfa seeds before, so I tried to plant them a little, but in just one day, it not only had germinated and unearthed, but had spread itself a piece of it." Wu Ping said, looking at Huo Gang's expression.

But he didn't see anything, because although Huo Gang was a little surprised, there were not many emotional fluctuations on his face. No matter how powerful the change was, would Hongyun change significantly overnight?

Looking at the alfalfa grass about a few square meters in size, Huo Gang pondered for a moment, then said, "Mr. Wu."

"I'm here." Wu Ping immediately bent over.

"I don't hide some words from you. The ability of these alfalfas to grow like this has a lot to do with the water source. This is also one of the greatest capabilities of this water source. I have brought back some cattle and sheep, some of which can be added and some can be raised. Just drink the water in this water source, including Wang Shan and his horses."

"In addition, other foods can be followed by your cultivation experience for the time being, but the seeds of this alfalfa can be planted directly. As many species are available, try to expand to those gravel areas, because alfalfa has the ability to improve the land."

"In a few years, these places will be fertile and can grow grain. In these years, alfalfa can also serve as food rations for cattle, sheep and horses we raise." Huo Gang did not explain anything, but spoke very simply.

Wu Ping raised his head and looked at Huo Gang strangely. Although Huo Gang was their major general, it can be said that Huo Gang was grown up when Wu Ping and the others watched him grow up.

Although grain can be grown in the Western Regions, there is not much land that can be grown. Huo Gang had no chance to understand these before. Now he even knows the knowledge that alfalfa can fertile the land.

You should know that only some old farmers know about such farming knowledge. Huo Gang had absolutely no time or energy to understand these before.

However, Wu Ping did not ask about this. He pondered for a moment, then thought for a while, and bowed and said, "General, I have a request and some words. I don't know whether it should be said or not."

"Mr. Wu, it's okay." Huo Gang came back to his senses and spoke.

"Well, general, I have something to do in the city, so I'll go and do it first." Wang Shan next to him immediately spoke when he heard this.

Huo Gang glanced at him and nodded. Then Wang Shan turned around and slapped his horse and left.

Only Wu Ping and Huo Gang were left on the shore.

"General, I think the general has great ambitions. I am afraid that it is not just about leading us to survive in the Western Regions. Is it wrong?" Wu Ping raised his head, and his turbid eyes were extremely bright at this moment.

"That's right." Huo Gang did not hide these. If they just survived, they could not resist any risks. How chaotic the Western Regions were, Huo Gang, who had Huo Qubing's life experience, was very clear about it.

"Since that's the case, what the general needs is a large population of rule. In this Western Region, we Han people are the best choice. I think since the general leads us to leave Yumen Pass, he may not surrender to the Tang Dynasty again. Are you wrong?"

"That's right." Huo Gang looked at Wu Ping. Although there was no expression on his face, he was surprised. This was an ordinary old man. Although it could be seen from Wu Ping's outfit that he was a cultural person, he probably was not a celebrity either.

An ordinary scholar has such a vision? Even Huo Gang doesn’t know if Wu Ping is a Confucian scholar.

"Since that's the case, although there are many Han people in Liangzhou and even around us, as long as we are strong, there are also many Han people who will join us, but these populations must be insufficient. I think the general's future rule will inevitably have a large number of foreign countries, and even the number may exceed that of the Han people. Are you wrong?" Wu Ping bowed and asked again.

Huo Gang paused. To be honest, Huo Gang himself could not confirm this, but there was no need to think that as long as they became stronger, there would be Turkic tribes that would join them.

For those ordinary herdsmen, their needs are actually no different from those of ordinary Han people, they just live.

"I can't be sure, but it's impossible that they are all Han people." Huo Gang paused and said, "If there are any choices, of course Han people are the best, but Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty was a famous Emperor Taizong of Tang in history. He dared not say how great his achievements were. But at least, in this period, the Han people in the Tang Dynasty were still alive compared to this era.

As long as you live well and can survive, these people will not be able to escape with their families.
