Xiuxiu was still young and had little understanding of war, so she said innocently: "Then why can't you not fight?" The soldiers of the Great Zhou Kingdom will shed blood and die, and won't the soldiers of the Yansha Kingdom do the same? ”

Lin Ruan rubbed her hair, "Because the Yansha country is poor as a whole, but the population is extremely large, if they want to survive, they must rely on fighting everywhere to grab resources. And in order to protect the people and the country, Da Zhou must fight back and beat them back. Otherwise, once the country is breached, the entire Great Zhou will be trampled by the iron hooves of Yansha. ”

Half of Yansha country's land area is desert, and it is further north, with longer winters and colder climates, so the living conditions of the people there are more difficult than those in northern Xinjiang.

Great Zhou and Yansha are the closest, and they are much richer, so it has become the goal of Yansha Country all along.

The people of Yansha are fierce, and the soldiers are even more brave and good at fighting, and it is completely a lifeless way to fight. This is also the reason why Da Zhou has been able to hold on to the country, but he has not been able to defeat the Yansha country. This is still under the condition of the strong national strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty to maintain the current situation.

If you want to defeat the Yansha Country, not to mention the heavy task and the long way to go, it can also be said that it is extremely difficult.

After Xiao Jingchen returned to the tent, the three of them sat down at the table and began to eat.

In the middle of the meal, a strong wind suddenly blew, and the atmosphere in the barracks seemed to be tense all of a sudden.

Xiao Jingchen immediately put down the bowl and went out to check the situation, Lin Ruan was a little uneasy, and also went out.

The wind was blowing, and the officers and soldiers in the barracks were hurriedly reinforcing the tents, and many people shouted to go to the war stables to help.

Lin Ruan hurriedly grabbed a soldier and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The soldier hurriedly said, "Back to the princess, once the wind blows, it may cause a sandstorm, so you must prepare in advance." ”

Lin Ruan let go of him and told him to hurry up to help, while he returned to the tent and sat down in peace.

After all, she can't help, she has to move forward, but it hinders other people's affairs.

Xiuxiu asked curiously, "Sister, what is a sandstorm?" ”

Lin Ruan briefly explained to her the sandstorm weather and the hazards.

"Sister, is there a way to solve this problem?"

"Absolutely." Lin Ruan already had an idea in his heart, "Afforestation is the most effective solution. ”

If we want to transform the status quo in northern Xinjiang, we must first start with environmental problems, and only by solving the harsh environment here can we protect the water and soil and grow crops.

It's just that it's too late now, after this month, the northern Xinjiang will quickly cool down, and in early October, the northern Xinjiang will start to snow, and even earlier, even at the end of September. Then it didn't warm up until March of the following year.

So all her current ideas will have to wait until next year to start implementation.

Xiao Jingchen didn't stay outside for long, and then returned to the camp. After all, for this kind of sudden extreme weather, the soldiers in the barracks already have rich experience.

Before going to sleep, the wind continued to build, and the sand picked up by the wind rustled against the tent cloth.

The gate of the tent was sealed so tightly that no wind could penetrate it.

Lin Ruan listened to the sound of wind and sand outside, and couldn't help but sigh: "Northern Xinjiang is really too bitter, the people are suffering, and the soldiers guarding the border are also suffering. The thought of you being here for so long makes me feel terrible. ”

Xiao Jingchen hugged her into his arms, "After getting used to it, I don't feel it." Now that you're here, you won't be bitter. ”

Lin Ruan raised his head and kissed his chin, "Jing Chen, I have a suggestion about military training, do you want to hear it?" ”

She was a little unsure whether her suggestion would be adopted, after all, the matter of training soldiers to fight was too important, and the soldiers of Da Zhou had long been accustomed to the existing training methods, and her set might not be adaptable.

Xiao Jingchen became interested: "Tell me about it." ”

Lin Ruan sat up, "I've seen your training methods, all of which focus on your personal combat level, which is really important. But when it comes to group combat, you basically don't pay attention to it. I think the ability to fight in groups on the battlefield is also important. After all, one person's strength is limited, and it is extremely easy to have problems on the battlefield, but two people, three people, or even a small team of people work together, so no matter how powerful the enemy is, they can't parry. ”

"Teamwork, detachable and combined, offensive and defensive, there are many obvious advantages over solo combat. However, this method may not really work, so I want to divide a small group of people first, and let me train them, and then put them together to compete, if there is no advantage over fighting alone, then give up. ”

After listening to this, Xiao Jingchen felt that the method Lin Ruan said was worth trying. "Okay, when this sandstorm passes, I'll pick a group of people to come out for you to practice."

Lin Ruan decided to play big, "Just pick the people with the worst combat level on weekdays for me." ”

Xiao Jingchen raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure?" ”

"Of course!" Lin Ruan was very confident, "If you pick the best level for me, then how can you intuitively feel the superiority of team combat?" ”

Xiao Jingchen hugged her and pressed her back to the bed, "Okay, it's all up to you." It's not early, let's go to bed first. ”

As he spoke, his hand dishonestly reached into Lin Ruan's clothes.

Lin Ruan was not to be outdone, and soon, the temperature in the tent gradually increased, and the yellow sand and howling wind in the sky obscured the beautiful whisper.

The storm lasted for a day and a night, and did not stop until the evening of the next day.

Lin Ruan changed into men's clothes and followed Xiao Jingchen out of the camp tent.

A thick layer of yellow sand had accumulated here and there, and the soldiers were clearing it to prevent it from crushing the tents.

Lin Ruan saw that the soldiers were shoveling the sand together, ready to be pulled outside by a cart and dumped it, so he said to them: "You find a place to pile up this sand, I can use it." ”

Xiao Jingchen asked, "What do you want all this sand for?" ”

Lin Ruan said happily: "Of course it's to grow vegetables, it's still quite warm, and you can also grow some vegetables to improve the food of the soldiers." ”

Xiao Jingchen really couldn't understand, what kind of dish could grow in such a short time? Could it be that she was going to use her own powers? That's absolutely impossible, there are so many people in the army, if Lin Ruan uses his ability, he will definitely be noticed.

Lin Ruan winked at him, "I have a vegetable here that has just been researched, and it only takes a few days to harvest, which is very convenient." ”

Xiao Jingchen knew that she was not a reckless and willful person, so he asked those soldiers to transport all the sand to an open space in the barracks.

Lin Ruan now has something to do, so he won't accompany Xiao Jingchen to the barracks, but takes people back to the camp tent and calls Jia Yi, "You take people to collect beans, mung beans or soybeans, the more the better." ”
