The weather was gradually getting cooler at first, and after the winter, it turned colder, getting colder and colder day by day, not to mention that the big snake of Yamata Yuan Lu Zhi was going to spend the winter, even the soldiers on both sides couldn't bear it, and no one was willing to take the initiative at this time.

After the light snow, the northern exploration of Malay reported that Yamata Yuan Lu Zhi withdrew his troops from the castle and returned to the Yamatai Kingdom in the north.

Hearing this news, Yun Yi was not surprised, it was no longer suitable for war at the moment, and it was a very wise choice for Yamata Yuan Lu Zhi to withdraw his troops to the north, but it was also a redundant choice.

The reason why Yatsumata Yuan Lu Zhi withdrew his troops was largely because he was worried that he would take the opportunity to go north to attack the castle, but in fact, he had no plans to go north now, because no matter whether Yamata Yuan Lu Zhi hibernated or not, the difference between the enemy and our forces was an indisputable fact, and forcibly attacking the castle tower would pay a heavy price, and this price was too great for the Buhu country, which was short of troops.

Although Yamata Yuan Lu Zhi withdrew his troops, Yun Yi didn't think it was good news, the other party's withdrawal was just an expedient measure, and it would make a comeback after the next year's shock, and then Yamata Yuan Lu Zhi might think of a way to restrain the monster that could restrain Kurosawa Mountain.

Taking a step back, even if the other party doesn't have a way to restrain the mysterious alien in Kurosawa Mountain, he may continue to spend so much time with him, the other party has time and can afford it, but he has to quickly calm down the war and go to the fat man, but he doesn't have so much effort to delay here.

Just when Yun Yi was frowning, there was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps outside the door.

"Good news, great news!" Asuka Yuan rushed into the camp, and the look of joy on his face was undisguised: "Great news!"

"What's the good news?" Yun Yi pulled over a chair.

Asuka Yuan sat down and added some charcoal to the fire pit in the center of the tent: "The Suelu Kingdom to the west was at war with the Yamatai Kingdom before, and some time ago I heard that we were at war with the Yamatai Kingdom, so I sent an envoy to Izumo to express my willingness to lend us troops. ”

"The enemy has withdrawn their troops, and now even if they lend them troops to us, they will not be able to fight anymore. Yun Yi shook his head.

"Not now, it's the beginning of spring next year, and they promised to lend us 10,000 soldiers and horses. Asuka Yuan said happily: "With these 10,000 soldiers and horses, it will not be difficult for us to defeat the enemy army." ”

"Do they supply grain and grass supplies?" Yun Yi cheered up when he heard this.

The joy on Asuka Yuan's face suddenly dissipated when he heard this, and he shook his head gloomily.

Buhu country suffered a typhoon disaster this year, grain production is seriously insufficient, Ping'an Chengtun has enough grain and grass for 5,000 people to eat for another half a year, and there is not much surplus grain left in the spring of next year, if there are 10,000 more mouths to eat, this battle will not be able to be fought again.

Yun Yi thought that someone had come to deliver a pillow when he was sleepy, but when he saw the expression of Flying Bird, he knew that it was empty joy, so he poured cold water on her again: "Yamatai has more troops than us, even if we defeat the Heavenly Guard City, we will have to lose a lot of soldiers, what will we do to defend the Heavenly Fortress at that time?"

"Molu has an enmity with Yamatai, tell them to fight themselves, don't take us as the first birds, and let him not even think about the matter of reaping the benefits of fishermen. Yun Yi pulled out his bloody sword and pulled the red-hot charcoal in the fire pit: "Send someone to the Molu State to negotiate the conditions, let them send 10,000 troops, bear eighty percent of the grain and grass, and I will directly lead the troops to the north to crusade against the Yamatai Kingdom, and divide half of the land they occupy." ”

"I'm afraid they won't agree. Asuka Yuan shook his head and sighed with a sad face.

"If you don't agree, pull it down, don't expect us to be the first birds," Yun Yi tugged at the charcoal in the fire pit, "If it doesn't work, drag it first, and I'll think of another way." ”

"If you had a way to think about it, would it have dragged on for so long?" Asuka looked up at him.

Yun Yi didn't say anything, he really had nothing to do at the moment, there was no other way to think of it except delay.

"I'll go back to Izumo and pick two people who are thoughtful to be envoys, hoping to be able to move the country of Moru. Asuka threw a piece of charcoal into the fire pit, got up and walked outside.

"It's not safe on the road, take a few more people. Yun Yi admonished.

Asuka answered, turned and went out of the tent.

After the bird was gone, Yun Yi was not idle, there was a shortage of winter materials in the city, and there was no firewood in the fire pit in most of the soldiers' barracks.

After getting along with Asuka Yuan for a long time, Yun Yi also learned a few simple Japanese words, called the herald, and ordered the three armies to go out of the city to collect firewood in Kurosawa Mountain.

At this time, many aliens in the Kurosawa Mountains have been dormant in the cat winter, and the danger is much smaller, as long as you don't go deep into the hinterland of the Kurosawa Mountains, nothing should happen.

Thirty miles west of Heian Castle, Mt. Kurosawa stretches for hundreds of miles in a north-south direction, which cannot be compared with the famous mountains in Kyushu, China, which stretch for thousands of miles at every turn, but the terrain in Mount Kurosawa is very complicated.

Although there is no greenery in winter, the thick leaves and weeds are enough to show that there is plenty of rain here.

The shady side of the mountain is rarely exposed to sunlight, the trees grow very sparsely and not very tall, and the weeds are neither dense nor deep.

The outliers in the Kurosawa Mountains are also mainly distributed on the sunny side, and Yun Yi did not dare to lead a large army into the sunny side, and only cut down trees in the mountain yin.

The Japanese people did not have sharp weapons, and could not count on these Japanese people to cut wood, Yun Yi held a bloody sword, picked out the dead trees, and brought them back to Ping'an City by the soldiers.

There are 5,000 people in the army, and the amount of firewood needed to survive the winter is very amazing, and the trees cut down in one day are just a drop in the bucket, which does not play a big role, and Yun Yi does not do anything else for a few days, just taking 5,000 soldiers to cut down trees in the mountains.

He cut down trees in the mountains for twelve days in a row, and on the thirteenth day Yun Yi did not bring troops into the mountain, on the one hand, the materials for the winter were almost prepared, and there was no need to enter the mountain, on the other hand, because he sensed that two strange breaths appeared on the yin side of the mountain, and from the intensity of the demonic qi, it can be judged that the Taoism of the two demons is very profound, not lower than that of Lu Zhi of Yamata Yuan.

Due to the violent fluctuations of the two demonic qis, Yun Yi suspected that two powerful aliens were fighting in the mountains, and he was curious, so he couldn't bear the loneliness and went out of the city and into the mountains alone.

Restraining his own breath and following the source of the demonic qi to the west for thirty miles into the mountains, Yun Yi really saw the behemoth fighting fiercely at the two ends.

One of them is a giant ***, three feet long, as thick as a man's thigh, the giant snake is colorful, obviously a highly poisonous thing, the two hideous fangs under the kiss are as long as a foot, and there is a bright red crown of flesh on the top of the head, which looks very strange and terrifying.

Opposite the giant snake is a gray monster, which looks a little similar to a badger, and its body length is only a few feet, like a huge snake meerkat that has been in the spirit for a long time.

Unlike the usual meerkat, this meerkat is not only huge, but also has sharp claws and a thick red color on its forehead.

When Yun Yi arrived, the battle between the giant snake and the giant meerkat had already entered a white-hot stage, both of them were very large in size and deep in the path, and they broke many thick trees during the scuffle.

The giant snake moves very quickly, and from time to time a large amount of thick venom is sprayed out from the fangs to attack the giant meerkat , the giant mongoose is a little afraid of the venom of the giant snake, but it is not very afraid, if it can dodge, it will dodge, and if it can't dodge, it will hit head-on.

Both of them have a deep path, but when fighting, they rely on the beast's own attack instinct, and the giant snake does not blindly attack fiercely, but holds its head high and attacks forward from time to time, and the meerkat can always dodge in time.

The meerkat is the nemesis of the snake species, and is familiar with the attack techniques of snakes, and the giant snake is very afraid of it, once the meerkat avoids its surprise attack, it will immediately spew venom from the holes in the fangs, forcing back the giant meerkat that takes the opportunity to counterattack.

Because before Yun Yi arrived, there had been a long battle between the two, and both sides had injuries on their bodies, the venom of the giant snake was more domineering than the venom of the ordinary poisonous snake, with a strong corrosiveness, and the meerkat had many fur on its body being eroded, revealing the black flesh under the skin.

However, compared with the two, the giant snake's injuries were more serious, and it was bitten by the meerkat in many places, and its tail was bitten off by the meerkat in half, and the blood after the broken tail had coagulated due to the cold weather.

Yun Yi was far away from the two, and he was not noticed by them, and he did not pay too much attention to the fierce battle between the giant meerkat and the giant snake, and what he thought in his heart was not why the giant snake and the giant meerkat did not hibernate in the cat winter, but recalled what the turtle San said before, the reason why Yatsumata Yuan Lu Zhi did not attack Heian Castle for a long time was because there were aliens in Kurosawa Mountain who could restrain it.

At that time, the turtle San intended to sell Guanzi, and did not tell him what the nemesis of Yamata Yuan Lu Zhi was, but now he knows that Yamata Yuan Lu Zhi's body is the Yaqi Snake, although it has dragon blood, but the dragon and snake are from the same sect, and the attack techniques are almost the same, and the snake meerkat is most familiar with the attack methods of the dragon and snake genus, and this giant meerkat must be the nemesis of Yamata Yuan Lu Zhi.

Thinking of this stubble, Yun Yi thought about it, although the snake meerkat is the nemesis of snakes, but that giant mongoose will definitely not be able to take the giant snake for a while, if he helps, maybe he can ask it to help when facing Yamata Yuan Lu Zhi in the future.

I thought so, but Yun Yi was not in a hurry to do so, the venom of the giant snake is strongly corrosive, which can erode the skin and flesh of the giant meerkat itself, but the giant meerkat itself is almost immune to snake venom, and the venom actually does not pose a threat to the giant meerkat as long as it lasts for a little longer, the giant meerkat can kill the giant snake.

At this time, if you help the meerkat at this time, its nature is tantamount to icing on the cake, far worse than sending charcoal in the snow, even if you kill the giant snake, the meerkat will not admit his feelings.

If you want to make the meerkat understand, you have to secretly create difficulties for it, and when it falls and its life is seriously threatened, then help it openly, so that the nature of the matter is not to add fuel to the fire for the meerkat to cross the boat.

Thinking of this, Yun Yi thought about how to create difficulties for the giant mongoose in his mind, this was a golden opportunity, but the giant snake was seriously injured at this time, and his movement was much slower, and he had no chance to intervene if he delayed any longer.
