Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 564 Winter ([-])

After lunch, the intense snowball fight training continued.

During the meal, some people also studied tactics, and the leaders of various troops in the stands also came down to give guidance. The No.1 in the first game still has honor, and if it can be won, it must be won.

And those who performed well under their command encouraged them to perform well in the afternoon, to win glory for themselves and their team.

So the battle was extremely fierce at the beginning of the afternoon.

There was also a situation where groups rose up and attacked.

And as there are fewer and fewer flags, it becomes more and more difficult to obtain them.

Some teams without flags began to help other teams resist.

The final victory is of course the girls of Luanfengwei.

There are quite a few of them, and with Liu Ruoning pointing out the key points behind them, they discarded unnecessary flags early, concentrated their efforts to guard a few closer ones, and gave priority to selecting the flags of teams with fewer manpower, and secretly fought , the praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind.

Even if the other teams behind united, they failed to win the victory.

Today's extra meal falls on the girls.

The people in other teams were slightly disappointed, but soon relieved.

There are quite a few of them together, more than the girls of Luanfengwei, but after all, they come from multiple teams, and each team has its own style. It is inevitable that there will be some omissions in the coordination for a while, not as good as the girls of Luanfengwei Cooperate well.

Losing this time is also convincing, but it doesn't mean they have given up. What about tomorrow's battle?
If you don’t win today, it’s tomorrow, and if you don’t win tomorrow, it’s the day after tomorrow. There is always a time to win.

At the dinner that night, three people got the qualification to have dinner with Yan Xuelan.

And these three people also come from three different teams.

The first one is a young man from the security team, named Qing Xu, who is also a similar resident in Luanfeng City. After working hard on weekdays, he will continue to participate in the training of the security team.

It is said that the original family was not bad. It was a small landlord who also went to school for a period of time, but the family was in decline. When he was ten years old, he became a refugee and has been living independently until now.

He was the first one to figure out the logistics of a snowball fight.

He found that each snowball is very slow to pinch, and it is very easy to be attacked when pinching snowballs, the efficiency is too slow.

Everyone's skills are different, some are agile and fast, while others are slow.

In particular, many ordinary people in the security team do not have much cultivation, and they cannot compare with those warriors in terms of speed, and they suffer from the speed and strength of throwing snowballs.

It's better to quietly pinch snowballs from behind to provide ammunition for those in good health.

It is much better to perform their duties and cooperate with each other than to bow their heads and work alone.

The second one is a young girl leader of Luanfeng Guard, who is also recommended by Liu Ruoning to Yan Xuelan, named Lan Bao.

It may sound like a cute girl from the name, but she is actually a mature big sister.

He has good talent in commanding, but it is a pity that the ancestral inheritance in Liu Ruoning's hands cannot be learned by outsiders, otherwise Liu Ruoning really wants to pass it on to Lanbao for learning.

Liu Ruoning did not end the command, this time the snowball fight was commanded by Lan Bao from below, and successfully won the first battle.

Her style is a little different from Liu Ruoning.

Liu Ruoning is a bit stubborn, she won't give up the power in her hands easily, as long as there is still room to use it, she won't give up easily.

And Sapphire pays more attention to practical issues.

Focus on preserving one's own vital strength, and will not face head-on head-on, consuming strength in vain.When it breaks, it breaks.Don't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place.

Although the two people's military styles are different, it does not affect Liu Ruoning's fancy to Lan Bao, nor does it affect Lan Bao's ability to play.

As for the third place, it surprised some people, but they also agreed after learning the real situation.

It is the sheep's tongue from other parts of Hujiang.

It turned out that he was the son of Yang Tongue Chi, the first warrior of the tribe.

Because the Sheep Tongue Clan contributed a lot this time, Yan Xuelan rewarded some pills and cultivation resources.

Sheep Tongue is not willing to use it by herself. She is old and the possibility of breakthrough is small. It is better to give it to her son. Even if he is not so shrewd in dealing with people, it is not impossible for Her Royal Highness to rely on his cultivation and force. There is a place for words in camp.

Now Yang Tonglu is only one step away from the Tongmai Realm, and it is only a matter of time before he breaks through to the Tongmai Realm, and he is still young enough to try to hit the Xiantian Realm.

His performance in the snowball fight was very outstanding. He may be in a hurry when dealing with affairs in daily life, but with his talent in fighting, Yang Tonglu did a good job.Has a very keen fighting instinct.

The charge on the front line is very reckless, but it is not a random charge without a clue, and Yang Tonglu will always bring his own people to cut in at the critical moment of the battle, and achieve certain results. The most prominent is that Yang Tonglu has several times They all successfully led people to capture the flags of other teams in the melee, and also successfully brought back their own team. Maybe large-scale frontal battles are not suitable for him, but he has amazing acumen in surprise attacks.Perhaps it is also a manifestation of the combat style of the prairie people.

Not a simple reckless man, but a warrior with a brain.

It is also under his leadership that the performance of the other divisions of Hujiang is not bad, which makes others a little impressed.

When several teams joined forces to deal with Luanfengwei, the performance of the other part of Hujiang was very outstanding, and it played a lot of roles in accelerating the integration and exchange of new and old teams.

The dinner that night was also a celebration of the arrival of winter. Yan Xuelan hosted a banquet in her small fortress, and invited the core members of each team to come and eat together. Of course, there are three outstanding members today. Make plans for some actions after the beginning of next spring.

Passive development really has to wait until the Year of the Monkey. It is much easier to have a target plan before implementing it.

The holding of the banquet this time can also be said to be another meeting of colleagues. Except for Shen Zhenxin, the boss of the worship hall, who really doesn't like this kind of banquet and entertainment, everyone else has arrived.

Apart from other things, just the content of today's dinner is enough to make Shen Zhenxin regret it.

Because for him, a person who likes to eat and drink, there is a brand new dish that he has never seen before. It tastes very good, and people are full of praise after eating it.

But Yan Xuelan also knew his temperament, so he sent someone to deliver a copy to his room.

Starting today, Shen Zhenxin, the prodigal son of Qi Men, has another title, the prodigal son of hot pot.

That's right, the banquet tonight is hot pot.

In the Yuanwu Continent, there was only Wen Ding in the form of a hot pot. It was just that the ingredients were thrown in and boiled and then fished out to eat. surprise.

The origin of the name hot pot was formed when Chen Zheng made suggestions to merchants in Peiping. Gradually it became popular in Jianzhou, and there was a trend of developing into several other states, so Yan Xuelan knew that there were shortcomings in the existence of hot pot. Strange.

Especially in winter when the weather outside just needs to eat something hot to warm up the body, hot pot is perfect.

And the current hot pot has improved a lot compared to what Chen Zheng saw at the beginning.

The emergence of small pots is for the convenience of individuals to eat.

Save some people with more personalities who hate eating other people's saliva.

There is also a soup base made of chili from the Western Regions, and several kinds of sauces, dry and wet ingredients are also considered on the dipping sauce.

Every table is filled with dishes. You can add whatever you want. There are cabinets with ingredients next to them. If you don’t have enough, just take them from there.

The novel way of eating made some people a little embarrassed. They had never seen this way of eating, not only because they were afraid of making a fool of themselves, but also worried about whether they could have enough to eat.

But once I started eating, I got out of hand. It was so delicious, it was worthy of being a hot pot. After eating, I felt so warm that I started to sweat, as if there was a real fire burning in my body.

It can be said that the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

When we arrived later, we had enough to eat and drink, so we started to make plans for next spring, starting with the issues of spring plowing and housing.

One is the problem of food and the other is the problem of housing, both of which must be resolved first.

When the houses are almost built, the area will be determined first, and in the future, it will slowly expand and build the acropolis.

There is still a shortage of manpower. If there is enough young and strong labor force, the city wall can be built even in winter.

There is also the training of combat ability, Yan Xuelan is not here to play house, but not to expand her combat power.

Personnel allocation training, equipment production, updating, and puppet building, as long as it can be produced, it must be developed. It may be insufficient in technology and manpower at the beginning, but it is necessary to lay the foundation for self-sufficiency in the future. Prepare accordingly.

This winter is a day for everyone to rest. When spring comes, there will be no time for rest.

And there is also news about the war in the north.

Beiyan can also be regarded as starting a two-front battle, targeting the prairie people from two directions.

On the grassland where their elite left, the iron cavalry attacked and destroyed their agriculture and animal husbandry, so that the homeless herdsmen could only choose to move closer to those big tribes, and the food consumption was increasing. For the winter on the grassland, food pressure Not small.

In the west, contact the countries of the Western Regions and the Xirong people, and at the same time intervene in the military operations of the grassland people's attempt to completely annex the countries of the Western Regions.The three parties joined forces to attack the prairie people.

Although there are precautions, in order not to lose the news and miss the opportunity, not all the countries in the Western Regions know the inside story, especially some countries that lead the way, and no one will tell them.

The battle broke out quite suddenly, and the small countries who didn't know it were immediately stunned. They were either destroyed or surrendered to the feet of the prairie people.

Fortunately, preparations have been made, and the three parties jointly launched a joint attack. Especially the Xirong people can't let their big cake be eaten by the prairie people. They suffered a loss in the battle with Xiliang, so they can only choose relatively easy soft persimmons. Pinch, there is no room for loss in the Western Regions. If the Western Regions are taken away by the prairie people, there will be obstacles for the Xirong people to go east and south. Is it really dangerous to let them open up a new world?

Unknown areas, whether there is a suitable living environment, whether there are powerful enemies, these are all things that Xirong people will face.Who would like to move if they are not forced to?
With all their strength, the prairie people dared to send out the elite, and they also had the Xirong people. The two sides fought fiercely. The prairie people did not expect that the surprise attack they expected would be discovered and targeted in advance. They had no choice but to fight. , they also have reasons not to retreat.

In the end, the prairie people only swallowed half of the countries in the Western Regions, and the elite troops did not dare to withdraw. If no one knew at the beginning, they would hide behind them silently after eating.As the black hands behind the scenes, now that they are placed in front of the stage, they cannot withdraw. If they withdraw, the Xirong people will definitely take back the half they occupy.So they can't withdraw.

But if you don't withdraw, you will just be confronting the Xirong people here. Don't forget that there are still cavalry troops. They can't completely solve the grassland tribes, but they can attack the east and west like ordinary rats. It's very difficult. Finding and running around can suppress various tribes on the grassland from all aspects. It is not fatal, but very annoying.

To withdraw or not to withdraw has become a problem that several tribes in the grassland need to deal with jointly.

The final solution is, of course, that the grassland people find a way to give benefits to Xirong and Beiyan in exchange for a truce.

Beiyan didn't want to stop the war, but without the restraint of the Xirong people, Beiyan's army would not have such a big advantage on the grassland, and there would be too many infantry.

So I had to accept the request of the prairie people. As long as the prairie people didn't completely annex to the Western Regions and only ate part of it, even if they wanted to innovate their equipment, it would take a certain amount of time and conditions.

Not to mention that this time the prairie people can only occupy one-third. Most of the small countries here are leading the way parties. They have the best relationship with the prairie people on weekdays, and of course there are many confessions.

The remaining two-thirds are still an alliance of countries in the Western Regions.

The Xirong people's forging level is not bad, and there is no shortage of ore, so they don't need to invade and annex the countries in the Western Regions like the prairie people.

You only need to knock down the resources you want from these countries in the Western Regions, and he will also provide asylum to the countries in the Western Regions.

This is not a peace between several parties, but a truce. Everyone knows that when the other party recovers, they must take the lead.

This is both good news and bad news.

The good thing is that Yan Xuelan and the others had a relatively long rest period.The bad news means that they have to speed up their pace to expand their power, they can no longer fish, and they have to be serious. Since they came to Jianzhou, they didn't come for nothing.
