"Woman? He even said I was a woman? Ji Ran was indignant in his heart, but after thinking about it, the other party seemed to be right, before crossing over, or in the depths of his memory, he was indeed married, and it seemed that he had children, which was not an exaggeration.

It's just that Ji Ran's current body is indeed a girl, and it has not been developed yet, so if she is rashly called a woman, it always seems unreasonable.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, but it's better to leave things like war to us, shouldn't girls pay more attention to things like clothing or cosmetics?

By the way, the jasmine pollen you told me earlier has already been delivered, from the East. Modrek said, got up and took a beautifully packaged box of jasmine flowers, and handed it to Ji Ran.

"Hasn't the trade routes of the East been cut off by Barak Khan? How did you get this jasmine pollen? Ji Ran asked strangely.

"It is true that the business is cut off by Barak, but the merchant is always profit-seeking, and I can buy it naturally if I pay ten times the price." Mordrak said with a slight smile.

Hearing Modrek say this, Ji Ran felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and actually asked for a cosmetic product for himself, which actually cost Mordrake ten times the price, which was really extravagant.

"I'm sorry, if I had known about this, I wouldn't have asked you." Ji Ran said apologetically.

"Hehe, it's nothing, as long as you like it, don't say ten times, even if it's a hundred times the price, I'll buy it." Mordrak said with a smile.

Ji Ran looked at Modrek's eyes full of love, and lowered her head a little shyly.

"Okay, it's not too early, you go back and rest early, you may be a little busy these days, take care of yourself, when I have time, I will go to see you." Modrek said to Ji Ran very gently.

"Well, you also have to take care of yourself, you are the commander of the whole army, you can't make mistakes." Ji Ran also said to Mordrake.

"Yes, my princess." Mordrak stood up straight, smiled and gave Ji Ran a handsome salute.

Ji Ran smiled knowingly and went back with jasmine pollen.

Lacasia's army had been assembled, but it had not yet begun.

Mordrak only ordered the soldiers to guard the pass, but did not take the initiative to counterattack the enemy.

The villages and towns on the border were often harassed by the cavalry of Barak Khan, and the surrounding allies were also miserable, and even some allies who were originally attached to Lacazia began to waver, and gradually fell to Barak Khan, joining the ranks of harassing the Ligurian region.

Autumn turned to winter, the weather became colder day by day, Barak Khan after an autumn harassment, and could not wait for Lakasia's counterattack, he couldn't help but become more arrogant, thinking that Mordrake was afraid of him, and even sent someone to send a woman's clothes to humiliate Mordrek.

However, for Barak's performance, Mordrak was very calm, he found that the clothes sent by Barak were quite beautiful, they were women's clothes among the steppe peoples, although they looked alien, but they also had many advantages.

For example, the cuffs of the clothes are very narrow, so they fit well on the body, and the pants are also very close-fitting for easy riding.

Moreover, the fabric of the clothes is also very elegant, which is a good women's clothing, so Mordrake asked someone to give the clothes to Ji Ran.

Of course, after Ji Ran received the clothes, she also liked it very much, girls are naturally not resistant to beautiful clothes, if you want to chase a girl, give her cosmetics and beautiful clothes and shoes, you will never make a mistake.

Winter is coming, and the whole land is plunged into a white world.

Even on the Eagle Flying Prairie, thick snow fell.

Barak Khan had no choice but to withdraw with his troops and began to prepare for the winter.

In such bitter cold weather, the horses lacked forage and were not suitable for further warfare, and at this time, only the hay prepared in autumn could barely survive the winter.

"Your Highness, Barak has retreated, they are running out of food, it is better for us to take the opportunity to pursue them, we will definitely be able to defeat them." Wren suggested to Mordrake.

Hearing Wren's suggestion, Modrek smiled and shook his head, not agreeing.

Wren looked at Modrek who rejected his suggestion, and was very strange, "Barak has harassed us in many places in the autumn, and now the soldiers are holding back their strength, we must give him some color, and now they are exhausted, it is just the time to retreat, and our morale is strong, if we pursue, we will definitely win a big victory." ”

"Wren, I know your feelings, it is indeed possible to win by sending troops now, but the risk is still too great, the winter of the eagle flying steppe is far more severe than the winter of Liguria, if we fight deep into their hinterland, even if we win, our losses will be great, the gains outweigh the losses, no matter how patient we are, wait a minute." Mordrake said to Wren.

Wren naturally knew Modrek's concerns, but he still felt that it was a pity to give up such a good opportunity.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be a chance for you to make meritorious contributions." Mordrake said with a smile.

"Your Highness, I'm not here to make meritorious contributions, I just feel that the opportunity cannot be missed, as long as I win a big victory this time, I will never take any credit." Wren said to Mordrac.

"Lord Wren, you misunderstood what I meant, of course I know that you are not for utilitarianism, it's just that it is not suitable to send troops now, when the time comes, I will discuss it with you, please be patient." Mordrake explained to Wren.

Wren saw that Mordrak was so confident, and it was inconvenient to say anything more, so he had to retreat.

When the depths of winter come, and in the coldest season of the year, the earth is covered with a silvery white carpet, and the peasants hide in warm houses, roast on fires, drink home-brewed grain wine, and gather in groups of three or five to talk and laugh.

Children had a great time having snowball fights and building snowmen.

In the city, children gather around the warm fireplace, listen to the stories of the elderly, and the occasional sporadic traveler on the street.

The harsh winter did not bring serious disasters to the farming cities of Liguria and Lacazia, on the contrary, it was the best season for the people to rest.

After harvesting grain in autumn, the forage left behind can just be used to feed war horses and ploughing cattle, so Lakasia's war horses also eat fat and strong in winter, three meals a day, plus two meals of night grass.

And the situation of the dogwood war horses on the eagle flying prairie seems to be much more miserable, and there is not a lot of forage that can be stored, so there can only be planned feeding, generally two meals of forage a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, because the war horses can not eat up all the forage, and the grassland people also have to feed the sheep and cattle, if the forage is eaten up by the horses, other livestock will starve to death.
