After interpenetrating with Lord Hou, he became addicted to house fighting

Chapter 50

Chu Dunru said that he didn't know how to be an official, and he was full of knowledge, but he was just talking on paper, and he was afraid that he would harm the country and the people.

Instead, he recommended his younger brother Chu Dunmin, but Chu Dunmin was unruly and liked to travel. He happened to be away at that time, and even Chu Dunru could not contact him. He could only promise to go to Beijing after Chu Dunmin returned home to report to his mother. The imperial court only gave a seventh-rank sesame official, and he was willing.

All kinds of past events flashed in Chu Yin's mind, and she withdrew her mind. She had already decided not to use Rong An's contacts, even if Rong An offered her to use them, she would not use them.

I already owe Rong An a lot, and I can't owe any more.

She knew that she had glimpsed Champion Hou's body and learned so many secrets in the army, logically speaking, if she did not marry him, she would only die.

But she also knew that she was not worthy of such an unrivaled hero, and the champion Hou Ding didn't bother to kill her.

So she should do as much as possible for him, just in case.

That being the case, why always do things passively?

Thinking of this, she told Rong Mu: "Get a local map."

Rong An is like a god of war, but he is not omnipotent. He is good at killing the enemy head-on, but he is a little weak in defense.

Now that she knows it, she can make up for it.

There is a clear difference between the combat map and the territory map. Chu Yin asked them to take them, hang them side by side, and study them slowly.

After watching for a while, he ordered all the counselors to gather.

After several days of visits, the counselors have a more comprehensive understanding of the local area.

While looking at the map, she asked about the local customs, especially about the climate.

The local people call this place Shizipo, not because there are many stones here, but because the land is too barren, lacks water, and the land is cracked like stones.

Moreover, in a year, there are only less than two months in summer, and the two seasons of spring and autumn seem to be short. The rest can be counted as winter, but the difference between cold and colder.

It is very windy and the temperature difference between day and night is large.

Now this season is better, the wind has been much smaller, and it is really winter.That is really like dripping into ice, and when the wind is at its strongest, it can overturn a fat man weighing two hundred catties.

When Rong An led his troops to fight the Northern Qi Dynasty, the coldest and windiest season in Shizipo had just passed.

Most of the houses of the local people use stone as the foundation, and if they have the ability, the walls are also made of stone, and the roof needs to be strengthened every year.

Occasionally, those who raise livestock have to build houses for the livestock, otherwise, once it is blown away in winter, it will be a fatal blow.

Chu Yin frowned. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't survive elsewhere, these people wouldn't have come to this bad place.

One counselor also said: "As far as we know, there are quite a few places like this in Northern Qi, so they always covet my Great Zhou."

Another counselor sighed: "It is said that a hundred years ago, this place was not like this. There used to be a river flowing through it, and the vegetation was once verdant.

"However, due to successive years of drought, the water level has dropped seriously, and because of the continuous fighting, the forests have been cut down, and then this place has become desolate."

Chu Yin asked: "I heard that even the desert is not completely devoid of vegetation, so there should be vegetation suitable for the water and soil here, right? Last time a gentleman said that in addition to food, you can also grow fruit trees."

"That's true," said another counselor, "we have found several kinds of trees here that are extremely hardy to cold and drought, and found that their roots are all deeply rooted, and their leaves are almost needle-shaped.

"The wood is very hard, and the wood used in our army comes from this."
