At the border of Jinzhou, Zhou Yu was wearing a cloak and looked up at the sky, feeling a slight chill, "It's actually raining."

Xu Nan stretched out his cracked hands, and raindrops fell on his palms, "This rain is good."

"Have you put ointment on your hands?"

Xu Nan is used to the pain, "I've already applied medicine. Life on the island is difficult. Last winter was the coldest winter in a century. I'm used to it after one winter."

It was really painful at first, but life on the island was too difficult. Many people died in a resistance war. Even if the island's population was replenished, the entire winter island was still immersed in sadness.

However, these are troubled times. Life on the island keeps people away from war, but when war comes, no one will be spared.

The lord trusted him, so he had to take the lead. As a result, his hands were split a lot, but he was happy in his heart. He was happy to leave with his lord, and he was still alive and well.

Zhou Yu gathered his cloak and said, "The temperature has risen very quickly in the past two days. I don't know if God will continue to bring natural disasters this year."

Xu Nan's heart suddenly suddenly stammered, "No, it can't be."

Zhou Yu sighed silently, the recent temperature is still abnormal. Although the temperature in the south has risen rapidly after the New Year, it is still warming too fast in one day.

Xu Nan admired his lord the most in his heart, and respected the two gentlemen the second most. Ever since he learned that the two gentlemen not only improved the smelting technology, but also imitated cannons, he regarded the two gentlemen as gods in his heart!

So Xu Nan was afraid when he heard the sighing. Xu Nan stammered, "Sir, it's not going to be a drought again."

Did he know that the winter in the north did not stop, there were no major battles, but small battles continued, which consumed troops and saved food at the same time. He also knew that the families in the north were in disaster, and countless squire families were wiped out in one winter.

Zhou Yu's heart was heavy, and his tone was filled with joy, "We won Texas."

Therefore, people's luck is really magical. It is mysterious and has to be believed. Dezhou has developed water veins and Ruizhou has no shortage of water. After winning Dezhou this year, even if there is a drought, Yang Xixuan will have a water source. Unless the Jiaozhou major project cuts off the water, otherwise there will be a drought.

It cannot stop Xixuan from growing rapidly.

When other states had to go to war to compete for food, other forces consumed their military resources. As long as Xixuan held on to two states for a year or two, the forces in the south would be shuffled. In two years, Xixuan can fight steadily.

Occupy the top few rankings in the South.

Zhou Yu said in a brisk tone, "As long as we capture another large state rich in mineral resources, no one in the south can stop Xixuan."

After hearing this short sentence, Xu Nan's blood boiled with excitement. Heroes emerge from troubled times, and he also wanted to make contributions.

At the border of Jinzhou, refugees are hiding in grass sheds. Last year, a large number of refugees gathered here. The refugee area has become very large. Today is destined to be a sleepless night.

When the number of refugees increases, leaders will naturally emerge. The number of refugees at the border of Jinzhou is huge. Although there are instructions from Jinzhou, it has been able to grow to the current scale of 20,000 to 30,000 people, thanks to the organization of capable people.

Although Jinzhou also increased its troops, it did not drive away the refugees. It intended to use the refugees as cannon fodder. Also, because the refugees had leaders, many traps were set up outside the refugee area.

Eleven people were sitting in a nice thatched hut in the refugee area, with a bonfire among them for lighting and warmth.

The image of the Eleven can only be described as not sloppy. The refugee area lacks water and food, and the limited space cannot support 20,000 to 30,000 refugees. It is not easy for them to maintain their current image.

The leading man is about thirty years old. He is not burly, not even tall. He has a beard, a fair face, and a pair of phoenix eyes. If it were not for the beard, the man would look younger.

Zhao Chang held a stick in his hand and moved the chestnuts in front of him, "Now that Ruizhou's additional troops have arrived at the border, what do you want to say?"

The remaining ten people looked at each other with worried expressions. One of them, a man in his forties, said, "Our information is very limited."

To say limited is an understatement. It can be said that their information is very limited. Jinzhou let them come to the border but trapped them at the border, and they did not dare to cross the Ruizhou border.

When they had nothing to do, they would go up trees to observe the training and patrolling of Ruizhou soldiers. Ruizhou soldiers paid great attention to riding and shooting, and the arrows could even hit birds, let alone unarmed living people like them.

And the most important point is that the Ruizhou soldiers are strong, yes, they are strong. They can often hear the Jinzhou soldiers envying the Ruizhou soldiers for eating well. Unlike the Jinzhou soldiers who are skinny and skinny, some soldiers are not even as strong as their refugees.

.

Zhao Chang looked as usual, "I want to go to Ruizhou tomorrow morning."

"No."

"Absolutely not."

They all listen to Zhao Chang. If something happens to Zhao Chang, what will happen to the twenty to thirty thousand refugees?

Zhao Chang has made up his mind, "We can't continue to mess around. We have no food. There is no other way but to die."

Everyone was silent for a moment. If it weren't for their strict management, Yi Ziershi would have appeared in the refugee area. Now they can only eat wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. In order to continue to dig wild vegetables, they have implemented the digging of vegetables in different areas to avoid them all being dug up.

Early the next morning, training slogans rang out at the Jingzhou border. Yang Xixuan dispersed all the young soldiers and mixed them with the conquered Texas soldiers. The Ruizhou young soldiers led the training and had a full meal in the morning.

The running pace and loud slogans spread far.

General Wang of Jingzhou was so frightened that he went up to the high platform to check.

General Wang's pupils tightened. He knew what was happening on the other side. Ruizhou reacted quickly and came to recruit the Texas soldiers. He thought about whether to take advantage of the chaos and attack them, but unfortunately he did not receive the order.

At the same time, he was indeed shocked that the Ruizhou soldiers took over too quickly, which proved the bravery of the Ruizhou soldiers.

General King Jingzhou was in a daze, "If I remember correctly, the Texas soldiers were subdued yesterday?"

The deputy general looked serious and said, "Yes."

General Wang pointed at the soldiers lined up on the opposite side and said, "It's only been one night."

The lieutenant general took a breath. What he cared about was the mental outlook of the soldiers. Before the soldiers from Ruizhou came, the Texas soldiers were composed of ordinary people. They would show timidity when facing the soldiers from Jingzhou. Now, listening to the loud slogans, the lieutenant general couldn't bear it.

I shivered.

General Wang asked in a deep voice, "Can you find out who Yang Xixuan sent to take over the troops?"

The deputy general shook his head, "I haven't checked clearly."

General Wang's mind was filled with information about Ruizhou. Yang Xixuan's reform of military households was supported by military households and soldiers. He boldly promoted capable people. Although the information about some generals was unclear, Yang Xixuan, the wolf cub, must be leading wolves.

, he never underestimated the newly promoted generals.

General Wang looked at the fierce competition on the opposite side with a look of worry on his face, "We should have united several forces to capture Ruizhou last year."

The wolf cub has become the alpha wolf and has been able to expand its territory, which is a serious problem.
