A heavy snowfall has covered the north of Yin Mountain.

After the Qin army retreated to Yinshan, it gained a firm foothold, and with the arrival of a large number of cultivators and troops, it gradually became a counteroffensive, but as the Wu army shrank back into the depths of the wasteland, the growing Qin army was only blocked by the thick snow.

Changling has not yet frozen, but the temperature on the border of the Wu clan has reached the point where the air has turned into ice, and the scalp is numb, even cultivators will inevitably consume the true yuan to keep out the cold, and ordinary soldiers may not even be able to keep their thoughts clear in this situation, let alone travel long distances to fight.

An astonishing number of troops camped around several border cities was not only a huge test for the transportation and grain and grass dispatch capabilities of the Soldiers and Horses, but also extremely staggering consumption.

On the farther border between Donghu and the Great Qin Dynasty, the temperature was even colder.

Some of the salt water lakes have long been frozen to the bottom, and the wind blowing has rolled up the ice chips, and they are white.

This kind of wind is called the white-haired wind, and it not only blows on a person's face like a pinprick pain, but also blocks the view, and it is very easy for people to get lost when the wind rises.

Occasionally, there is a lake that does not freeze at the bottom, that is, a freshwater lake with extremely deep water, and the water temperature in the deep part of the lake is close to freezing but not frozen, and a large number of fish gather in it, almost hibernating.

An elite frontier army of the Qin army was stationed on the shore of such a lake, and relied on fishing in winter to solve the food problem.

Several flying swords entered and exited the ice, emitting a terrifying roar, and large pieces of ice were cut open, and then completely destroyed into pieces by the powerful sword qi, splashing like an explosion.

Beside these cut ice caves, huge winches were erected, and fishing nets were dragged with ropes and thrown in.

Huge fishing nets will be dragged under the ice for more than an hour, and each net dragged will be thousands of pounds of large fish.

"No one knows what she is thinking, if the war with the Wu clan is just to force so many cultivators in Changling into the border army, then the price to pay is too great. With so many troops stationed on the border of the Wu clan, do you want to wait for the beginning of spring before fighting?"

"Destroyed so many cultivation places at once, dried up and fished. ”

"The snow melts outside the gate at least until the end of April, not to mention anything else in this small half year, the extra hundreds of thousands of mouths are waiting there for dinner, and I don't believe that the grain can be transported. ”

The vast majority of people in the Great Qin Dynasty had both an attitude of awe and disgust towards Empress Zheng Sleeve, especially the border army far away from Changling, and their attitude towards this hostess of Great Qin was even more direct and sharp.

At this time, when this was close to the fish, it was a matter of food for this winter, and several regiments were sitting in the carriage, and the generals of the Qin army who wore thick dark cotton robes in black armor did not go to see the mouth of the ice cave where the fish came out, but gathered together and talked about some of the latest military information.

"There's something I can't figure out about this. ”

A slightly immature but majestic voice sounded from the side because of the coldness on the extremely cold ice surface, "Although my Great Qin even destroyed the three dynasties of Han, Zhao and Wei, you naturally know which cultivation place is most of the credit, and some cities are paved with a few swords." Especially the three dynasties of Han, Zhao and Wei are the closest to our dynasty, even if they have fought for so many years, the way for my Great Qin Dynasty to transport grain is not far. Just like doing business, a new shop opens, even if the goods are particularly easy to sell, but it also needs to be sold slowly in small batches first, to see if the goods shipped and the goods made by the workshop behind can keep up, whether it is smooth or not. In our industry, it's called turning or not turning. This can be turned up, and if it turns smoothly, the amount will be slowly increased. It is often necessary to do a few big businesses to see if the current workshop, buddy, and shopkeeper can keep up with the equipment of the next bigger business. If Daqin's army only goes to the border on a large scale, and the Soldiers and Horses Division can't keep up with the dispatch, then in the future, our Daqin army will go to Chu Yanqi farther away, and go so far, how can the transportation behind it keep up? Zheng Sleeve is not stupid, fighting the Wu clan is also practicing, and the turn is smooth, and if it is against Chu Yanqi next, it will also be smooth. ”

The generals of several regiments sitting together were stunned for a moment, and then they all raised their heads and looked at the young generals who were directing some carriages on the side. One of the generals picked up a wine bag that was warm in his arms and threw it away, first laughing and scolding: "Xie Changsheng, you actually compare this march to a war, but this description is also appropriate, it makes sense, I think the queen is really like this, what you said is right, where is she stupid, if it is about resourcefulness, we are not as good as her fingers." ”

The young general's face was immature, but he was always a little disdainful, and there was a mocking expression... This Xie Changsheng is the well-known Xie Changsheng of the Changling family in Guanzhong.

Xie Changsheng raised his eyebrows, unscrewed the wine bag and took a sip, and said, "This wine is too bad, I'll get some good wine in the spring." ”

If this Donghu border pass is not in the war, hundreds of miles are difficult to be inhabited, usually fish and meat are easy to obtain, but wine is extremely rare, in the army, this liquor is the greatest reward for high-level generals to their subordinates, at this time hearing that Xie Changsheng dislikes this wine is not good, these generals were stunned, but they couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound in the white-haired wind on the lake, and there seemed to be a different wind sound, and these generals suddenly breathed, but in the next moment, there were several short whistles, and these generals looked slightly relaxed, but they were puzzled.

Looking towards the place where the voice came from, the true elements in the bodies of these generals were all flowing, and their eyesight was naturally greatly improved.

I saw three figures slowly revealing in the white wind, the first two figures were hunched over, and their bodies were a little clumsy by the thick white fur blanket they were draped on, but behind them was a figure that looked a little slender, wearing just ordinary leather jackets.

"Don't worry, we're also Guanzhong. ”

Xie Changsheng's cultivation was naturally much inferior to these generals, but he only vaguely saw the general appearance of the slender figure, so he sneered and said.

"Guanzhong?"

These generals gradually saw that the slender figure was also a young man about the same age as Xie Changsheng, and they were a little puzzled, but when the young man got closer, several people were full of joy in their hearts, and they only felt that the sword intent cultivated by this young man seemed to be a little extraordinary.

Originally, Ding Ning was the last disciple of the Aries Cave, but he squeezed in and became the last student of Xue Wangxu. Xie Changsheng straightened his collar and threw the wine bag back, and said at the same time.

"Shen Yi?" the generals immediately reacted.

"Xie Changsheng, you are really here. ”

"Looking for someone in this kind of place in this kind of weather, do you think you are a cultivator of the Seven Realms? ”

When two young people met, one was surprised, and the other was sneering.

Seeing that Xie Changsheng actually had such an attitude, Shen Yi was also stagnant for a moment.

"What are you doing?" Xie Changsheng turned his head away, not looking at him, only looking at the fish.

The ice caves of those trawls were filled with white gas, and there was already a faint sound of big fish splashing into the water.

Shen Yi froze for a moment, and his voice trembled slightly: "Senior Brother Ding Ning, he..."

"If you're here just to tell me about your brother's death in the Ancestral Mountain, then I can only say that you're too stupid. Xie Changsheng's face really sank, and the cold voice directly and rudely interrupted him: "Since I can go to the Donghu Border Army, do you think I won't know what's going on outside?"

Shen Yi raised his head, his eyes seemed to be a little red from the wind, but he looked at Xie Changsheng stubbornly and said, "I didn't come to tell you this, I have a few words to say to you alone." ”

Xie Changsheng frowned, but he didn't speak, just nodded to the generals, and walked towards the downwind.

It was white all around, and the cold wind was whistling in his ears like a knife, before he turned around and stopped, looked at Shen Yi and said, "Say it." ”

"It's impossible for you, don't hold a grudge against the queen?" Shen Yi looked at him and said seriously.

Xie Changsheng's brows furrowed even deeper, "What idiotic words are you talking about?"

"What you do is not only on behalf of yourself, but also a drag on the entire Xie family. Shen Yi looked at him and said slowly, "If... If my senior brother wants to kill the queen, or even the saint, what are you going to do?"

"Everyone is dead, and you still tell me if..." Xie Changsheng sneered, sneering very loudly, not caring about others hearing it, because there was no need for any secrecy at all in his words.

"Because my brother also asked me this. Shen Yi looked at him, but said softly: "He also told me that if it is rumored that he is dead, don't believe it." ”

Xie Changsheng froze.

"You answer my question, and then I'll tell you the following. Shen Yi looked at him and said.

"Isn't this an idiot's question?" Xie Changsheng breathed hard, controlling his voice, "Help your relatives or not, this is me Xie Changsheng, I care about the Holy Empress, what the Great Qin Dynasty does!"

"You didn't listen to the arrangement, and ran to the Donghu border early to wait for my senior brother, but my senior brother was forced to go to Donghu and didn't come here. But before I left, my brother also gave me a letter explaining this matter. ”

Shen Yi's eyes turned even redder, "He expected that you wouldn't listen to anyone, you wouldn't help your relatives, if he had an accident, you must make trouble, he doesn't treat you as his own, you have already treated him as his own, so he asked me to hand over his money bag to you, and asked me to tell you, aren't you the best at spending money, then you will spend all the money in his money bag." ”
