The Sword Dynasty
505 Spending money
A heavy snow has covered the north of Yinshan.
After retreating to Yinshan, the defeated Qin army gained a firm foothold. With the subsequent arrival of a large number of practitioners and troops, it gradually became a counterattack. However, as the Uzbek army shrank back to the depths of the wasteland, the prosperous Qin The army was only blocked by the thick snow to counterattack.
The Changling Mausoleum has not yet frozen, but the temperature on the Wu's border has already reached the point of suffocating into ice, and the scalp is frosty, even the practitioners will inevitably consume the true Yuan to keep out the cold, and ordinary sergeants in this situation Thoughts may not be able to maintain clarity, let alone travel long distances to fight.
An astonishing number of troops are encamped around several border cities, which is not only a huge test for the ability of the soldiers and horses to transport and dispatch food and grass, but also the consumption is extremely alarming.
On the more distant border between Donghu and the Great Qin Dynasty, the temperature is even colder.
Some lagoons have been frozen for a long time, and the wind blows up ice chips, a white piece.
This kind of wind is called the white hair wind, which not only blows the pain like a needle stick on the face of the person, but also blocks the line of sight.
Occasionally, there are unfrozen lakes, which are freshwater lakes with extremely deep water. The water temperature in the depths of the lake is close to the freezing point but not frozen, and a large number of fish gather in it, close to hibernation.
One of Qin Jun’s elite border guards was stationed on such a lake, and he relied on fetching fish in winter to solve food problems.
Several flying swords came in and out on the ice, making a horrible thunder. Large pieces of ice were cut open, and then destroyed by powerful sword gas into fragments, and spattered like an explosion.
Beside these cut ice caves, huge winches were erected, and the nets were dragged with ropes and thrown into them.
A huge fishing net will be dragged under this ice for more than one hour. For every net dragged, there are thousands of pounds of big fish.
"No one knows what she is thinking. If the war with Wu's is just to force so many practitioners in Changling to be included in the frontier, the price will be too great. So many army laborers are stationed in Uzbekistan border, do you still want to wait until after the Spring Festival?"
"Suddenly destroyed so many practice areas, and ran out of fishing."
"Xuanwai Xuerong waits at least until the end of April, this little half a year... not to mention anything else, hundreds of thousands of extra mouths are waiting to eat there, and I don't believe that the grain can be shipped.
The vast majority of the people of the Daqin dynasty were both in awe and disgust towards the queen Zheng Xiu, especially the frontiers who were far away from Changling. The attitude towards this big Qin hostess was even more direct and sharp.
At this time, when it was close to the fish, it was related to the food for the winter. Several regiments sat on the carriage, and the general Qin Jun wearing a thick black cotton robe in the black armor did not go to see the ice that came out of the fish. The mouth, but together, talking about some of the latest military sentiment.
"What's wrong with this."
There was a slightly naive voice, but it sounded awe-inspiring because of the coldness on this extremely cold surface. "Although my Daqin destroyed Han Zhao, Wei and San dynasties in succession, which of them mostly contributed to you. It is also natural to know that some cities directly paved the way with a few swords. In particular, Han Zhaowei, the Three Dynasties, and My Dynasty were the closest. Even after fighting for so many years, my Daqin dynasty's food truck was not far away. Just like doing a business, a shop is newly opened, even if the goods are particularly easy to sell, but it also needs to be sold in small batches first, to see if the delivery of goods and the production of the workshops behind can't keep up. In our industry, we say that we can’t turn around. This turns around and turns smoothly before we increase the volume. Often we have to do a few big business to see if the current workshops, folks, and shopkeepers are the same. If the Daqin's army only reaches the border on a large scale, the soldiers and horses can't keep up with the dispatch. In the future, my Daqin army will go to Chu Yanqi, which is farther away. Can you keep up? Zheng Xiu is not stupid. Playing Wu's is training, and it turns smoothly. If it is Chu Chuyanqi, then it will be smooth."
The leaders who sat together in the group were startled. Then they all raised their heads together and looked at the young generals who were commanding some carriages.One of the generals picked up a wine bag in his arms and threw it away. He first laughed and scolded: "Xie Changsheng, you actually compared this march to war as a business, but this description is also appropriate and reasonable. I think the queen is really like that. You’re right. Where is she stupid? In terms of ingenuity, we don’t add up to her finger.”
The young general's face was immature but always disdainful, with some sneering expression... This Xie Changsheng is the well-known Changling Xie family's Xie Changsheng.
Xie Changsheng raised his eyebrows, unscrewed the wine pouch, and said, "This wine is too bad. I will get some good wine in spring."
If the East Hubian Pass is out of battle, it is difficult for people to smoke in hundreds of miles. Usually fish and meat are easily available, but the wine is extremely rare. This wine is not good, these generals were stunned, but they couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, the white hair on the lake suddenly rang a bit, and there seemed to be a different wind sound. The generals breathed suddenly, but also in the following moment, there were several short whistles, These generals looked slightly relaxed, but they were puzzled.
Looking towards the place where the sound came out, the true elements in these generals all flowed away, and their eyesight naturally improved greatly.
I saw three figures slowly appearing in the white wind, when the first two figures bowed to the waist, and the body was a little squatted by the thick white fur blanket on the body, but the back was a slender look. The figure, wearing only ordinary fur jackets.
"Don't worry, we are also Guanzhong people."
Xie Changsheng's Xiuwei is much worse than these generals, but he just vaguely saw the general appearance of the slim figure, he sneered a little, said.
"Guan Zhongren?"
These generals gradually saw that the slim figure was also a young man of the same age as Xie Changsheng, and he didn't even understand it. However, when the young man approached, several of them felt awkward. This young man's swordsmanship seems to be extraordinary.
"Originally Ding Ning was the last disciple of Baiyang Cave, but he squeezed into it, and became the last student of Xue Wangxu." Xie Changsheng managed his collar and threw the wine bag back, Said at the same time.
"Shen Yi?" The generals immediately reacted.
"Xie Changsheng, you really are here."
"This kind of weather is looking for people in such a place. Do you think you are a practitioner of the Seven Realms? You are not afraid of freezing into ice slag."
The two young men met, one was surprised and the other sneered.
Seeing that Xie Changsheng had such an attitude, Shen Yi suddenly stagnate.
"What are you doing here?" Xie Changsheng turned his head and didn't look at him, only at the fish.
The white grottoes in the ice caves of the trawl nets were faintly filled with sounds of big fishes.
Shen Yi froze for a moment, his voice trembling slightly: "Brother Ding Ning..."
"If you just come to tell me that your brother died in Zushan, then I can only say that you are too stupid." Xie Changsheng's face sank, and the cold voice directly interrupted him: "Since I can go to the East Hu Border Army, do you think I will not know what happened outside?"
Shen Yi raised his head, his eyes seemed to be blown a little by the wind, but he looked at Xie Changsheng stubbornly and said, "I'm not here to tell you about it, but I want to say something to you alone."
Xie Changsheng frowned, but did not speak. He just nodded at the generals and walked towards the downwind.
It was all white until he walked around, and the cold wind like a knife roared past his ears before he turned around and stood, looking at Shen Yi said: "Speak."
"You are impossible, don't remember to hate the queen?" Shen Yi looked at him and said seriously.
Xie Changsheng frowned deeper, "What idiot are you saying?"
"What you did, not only represents yourself, but also drags down the entire Xie family." Shen Yi looked at him slowly and said, "If...if my brother wants to kill the queen, even the Holy One, what will you do?"
"Everyone is dead, and you said to me if..." Xie Changsheng sneered, sneering very loudly, regardless of what other people heard, because he didn't need any place for confidentiality.
"Because my brother also asked me this sentence." Shen Yi looked at him, but said softly: "He also told me that if it is reported that he is dead, don't believe it."
Xie Changsheng froze.
"You answer my question, then I will say the following to you." Shen Yi looked at him and said.
"Isn't this an idiot's problem?" Xie Changsheng breathed hard and controlled his voice. "Helping the relatives is not helping me. This is me Xie Changsheng, what do I care about the Holy Queen, what kind of big Qin Dynasty!"
"You didn't listen to the arrangement. I ran to the border of Donghu early to wait for my brother. But my brother was forced to go to Donghu and didn't get here. But my brother also gave me a letter before leaving, explaining this matter to me."
Shen Yi's eyes were redder, "He is sure you will not listen to anyone, help relatives or not help, he must have trouble if he wants to happen, he doesn't treat you as his own, you have already regarded him as He himself, so he asked me to give you his purse, and told me to tell you, you are not the most spend money, then you will spend all the money in his purse."
