Zhang Gui's health has improved significantly, but he still gets tired easily, so he now delegates most matters to his son, Zhang Shi, only personally handling the important ones.
A subordinate came in, bowed, and said, "Sir, Huang An and others have already brought all the military dependents, and a letter has arrived from Luoyang."
The letter was personally written by Zhao Hanzhang. She not only received a letter from Zhang Gui, but also one from Zhao Xin, who detailed the situation in Xiliang and his experiences traveling from Luoyang and Chang'an out to Xiliang.
It could be said that, comparatively, the situation in Xiliang was much better. In the Central State, especially from Luoyang to outside the Yumen Pass, there were refugees everywhere displaced by famine and war.
Even though Zhao Hanzhang repeatedly issued notices urging the people to return to Luoyang to settle, many refugees still preferred to wander and would not return.
