readx;? Before dawn, Lin Ye and his party quietly left the city and embarked on the journey back to the Far East, the frost condensing on the branches. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The temperature plummeted, and when they left the Longjing Province and began to step into the land of the Obsidian Province, the snow finally drifted down.

Lin Ye was draped in a thick coat and watched from the carriage at the first snow since the beginning of winter, this time it snowed more often than in previous years.

Half a month in advance, the old people are right, this winter is longer and colder than before.

Even when he wore such a thick coat and a fur, he still felt a little chill in his bones, after all, he was just a young man who was not strong.

A stove was built inside the carriage, and the crimson charcoal fire kept the temperature relatively constant inside the carriage, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Outside the window, a large number of cavalry moved northward, and the horses' hooves left no deep marks on the still thin snow, and they marched in a hurry.

"These are the troops that have been drawn from all over the country to strengthen the vigilance of Stormwind Fortress, and this is the sixth batch of troops. ”

Crouff, who was riding a horse outside the car window, said that there were more and more sources of intelligence in the Far East, and he was well aware of military movements in the north.

"In the past six months or so, the conflict between the Gale Prairie and the Fury Prairie has become more and more intense, and the situation in the Prairie is too unstable, so it is also necessary to strengthen vigilance. ”

Lin Ye was roasting a fire in the carriage, and basically every week information about the grassland reached his office.

This information ranges from the battle damage of both sides of the conflict, to the weapons and equipment left on the battlefield, and even the hobbies and personalities of individual officers.

He spent a lot of money to build a web of intelligence that was as large as a spider's web, but the results were just as significant.

"Now that the snow is starting to fall, the grazing on the grasslands is in the winter break, and the water and grass will dry up, in which case the war may have to stop a little. ”

Kluf looked a little regretful, in his opinion, the more the steppe people fought, the better, and they were not their Far East people anyway.

"But with the onset of the harsh winter, they will be put to a more brutal test than war, and the situation may be even worse than we expected. ”

Lin Ye frowned, no matter how brave and good the army is, it is insignificant in front of nature, just in his cognition.

Napoleon's expedition to Russia failed, and hundreds of thousands of French soldiers froze to death on the way.

The defeat of the German army during World War II was largely due to bad weather and too deep terrain.

Pushing back further, Chen Qingzhi led the white robe during the Northern and Southern Dynasties to run rampant in the north, but in the end the whole army was submerged by a mountain torrent.

"Anyway, it's their people who die, so what does it have to do with us? Those steppe people, the less they die, the better, they didn't go south before. ”

Kluff was a little gloating, after all, in the history of the Miracle Continent, the nomads of the northern steppes often went south to raid.

This made the lives of the civilians of the northern provinces miserable, and the situation did not improve until after the establishment of the Storm Fortress.

They have never had a good impression of the grassland people in the north, and the so-called non-ethnic group must have different hearts, which is probably the same meaning.

"No, the new order of peace and stability should be aimed at everyone, not any one group, and that would be too narrow. ”

Lin Ye shook his head, the happy land he wanted to create was not built under the oppression and exploitation of other peoples.

For example, in Europe and the Americas, which he knew, the rapid prosperity was originally based on hundreds of years of heavy exploitation abroad.

Occupy other people's homes, plunder other people's wealth and resources, make yourself stronger and stronger, and after hundreds of years, you throw peace in a high-sounding voice.

This in itself is very unfair, very funny, and his ideal kingdom should not be like this.

It is an era of unprecedented unification and integration, where war is inevitable and differences are inevitable, but as long as a point of coordination is found.

Of course, he knew that any powerful nation would inevitably decline, and this was inseparable from countless reasons.

For example, the usurpation of power by a careerist, such as the coming of a great catastrophe, there are always many contingencies in history, and there are many examples of this.

But as long as the period of prosperity is extended as much as possible, a prosperous civilization is created enough, and the words unity and integration are deeply engraved in the genes of civilization, this is like no matter how divided and divided in the history of China, everyone regards themselves as the people of China.

No matter how many disputes there are, in the end they will all be united, because they have a common civilization and uphold the same beliefs.

What he wants to do is to make the entire continent, and even the whole world, into a huge country with the same civilization.

It was a great attempt, but also a utopian attempt, and the Far East was his testing ground, and he wasn't sure if he could do it.

After all, there are so many great figures in history, and what countless people have not done, can they be done by him?

"My lord, what's wrong with you, my lord?" Crouff looked at Lin Ye a little strangely, and called him twice in succession, for fear that something would happen to him.

"It's nothing, I was thinking about something else just now, is there any news from the south recently?" Lin Ye waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

The south he was referring to was naturally the area around the royal capital, and it had been almost a year since the death of the old emperor Raymond.

The conflict between the four princes has been going on for a year, and now that the south is in turmoil, the situation is not much better.

"In the south, it is still Wren and His Royal Highness Rhaega who have the upper hand, and in the Battle of the Sanye River two months ago, His Royal Highness Wren personally led 4,000 elite cavalry to launch a surprise attack, breaking the 12,000 infantry commanded by His Highness Leo, and His Royal Highness Leo retreated in embarrassment and almost became a prisoner. ”

When Crouff talked about the South, there was a complicated look on his face, but it quickly turned into snickering.

Because the Oak family was originally on Leo's side, now Leo has been defeated and retreated, and he is getting farther and farther away from the royal capital.

The Oaks were also unlucky, suffering a heavy blow within the Empire, but they were already tied to Leo's warship and had no way to exit.

can only follow Leo to the end, waiting for a chance to come back to life.

"In other words, Leo and Leighton have already lost four battles in a row, and they have returned to the south and west respectively in order to raise troops?"

Lin Ye groaned with his fingers, and hung a map on the inner wall of the carriage, and he picked up a pen to make annotations on the map.

The different colored markings represent the spheres of influence controlled by different princes, and even if he is in the Far East, he has never ignored the complex situation in the south. (To be continued.) )
