Traveling through the Three Kingdoms: She brings unlimited supplies to build infrastructure

Chapter 21 Preparation
In the early morning, the sun pierces the clouds and shines on the snow-covered ground, making the whole world seem to be wrapped in a layer of silver gauze.

The blizzard in the past few days finally started to subside today. The team, which had been in the deserted village for six days, began to pack up materials, reorganize the organization, and prepare for the departure.

The perennially frozen valley welcomes its second batch of guests.

A snowball-like silver fox dragged its big fluffy tail, leaving a string of fine paw prints on the snow.

"Whoosh-"

Accompanied by a sharp roar, an arrow shot out like lightning, piercing the mist in the mountains in the morning and pinning the silver fox to the ground.

A black-robed knight rode through the knee-deep snow, bent down on horseback and picked up the silver fox.

"Hit!" He excitedly raised the silver fox high above his head with one hand, "Captain Zhao has great eyesight and good archery skills."

He shot the silver fox in the snow at 150 steps. The arrow passed through his eyes and his fur was not damaged at all.

The knights wearing the same black clothes as him in the distance were also amazed.

Zhao Yun, who was standing in front of the team, put away his bow and hung up his saddle, "Okay, let's move on."

His voice was not loud, but the team regained its calm. Everyone made a promise and rode back to the team.

The knight who picked up the prey came back, pulled out the feather arrow from the silver fox, grabbed a handful of snow and wiped the blood on the arrowhead, and presented the feather arrow and the dead silver fox to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun took the feathered arrow and put it back into the arrow pot on the side of the saddle. He handed the silver fox back and said, "Go back, skin it and make it, and give it to Lady Gongsun."

"Yes." The black-robed knight promised, hung the silver fox on the saddle, and mounted the horse to the flank of the team.

A large amount of supplies were piled up in another hidden cave in the valley.

Gongsun Yan fulfilled his promise.

Snow protective shoes, cold-resistant labor thermal pants, windproof hood, kidney-shaped water bottle, thermal clothing, cotton socks and gloves, and a polar mummy sleeping bag for each person.

The equipment of 300 people was neatly stacked in the cave, followed by 36000 kilograms of horse feed, 3000 kilograms of dried noodles, and bags of snow salt.
Worried that the camp would be empty due to a one-time dispatch, Zhao Yun arranged for a transport team of 150 people to trek for half an hour to the valley to carry horse feed and rations back to the camp, while the rest stayed behind to keep watch.

The team had sufficient supplies, and Zhao Yun immediately began to train the team.

During the breakout, this team was almost completely disorganized, and it was imperative to reorganize it.

He is unparalleled in cavalry and shooting, and can serve the soldiers. He is not as violent as ordinary military attachés, who beat and scold the soldiers at every turn.

Until the military well is reached, I will not speak of thirst.The army will not be tired until the military affairs are settled.The general will not say he is hungry before the military stove is cooked.

He implemented the requirements for a general in Huang Shigong's "Three Strategies" extremely thoroughly.

The general is strict with himself and takes the lead in everything he does. The training of the team in the past few days has begun to bear fruit, and it has regained its elite appearance.

And Zhao Yun has also established a very high prestige in the army, and he can almost make orders and prohibitions, just like an arm and a finger.

This was exactly what Gongsun Yan wanted to see. She even gave up the Gongsun flag in the army and erected the Zhao banner instead.

She wanted to tell everyone that Zhao Yun had become so powerful in this remnant army that she or Gongsun Cheng could no longer command, in order to cope with the possible assignment from the Lingzhi Gongsun family.
This remnant only has 300 cavalry, which is not worth mentioning to Yuan Shao and other warlord forces.

However, the three hundred elite cavalry, equipped with armor and horses, come and go like the wind. They are still an armed force that must be taken seriously in front of the right-wing clans anywhere.

What's more, they are all genuine veterans of hundreds of battles. As seeds, if they are willing to spend a lot of money, they can quickly rebuild the white horse Yi Cong that Gongsun Zan once used to gallop in the remote Ji and be powerful beyond the Great Wall.

The Han Dynasty placed great emphasis on filial piety, and having such power in the hands of their siblings would be a very greedy bait. If the Gongsun family relied on filial piety and wanted to dismember and cannibalize this team, she would inevitably be exhausted.

It would be better to hand it over directly to Zhao Yun.Of course, by doing this, Zhao Yun will inevitably be criticized as an ambitious person by interested people, and his reputation will be damaged.

So doing so still requires his consent.

At that time, Zhao Yun nodded in agreement without any hesitation, and solemnly thanked her for her trust.

On the contrary, Gongsun Yan was very uncomfortable. Zhao Zilong, whose loyalty was known throughout the ages, actually took the initiative to bear the stigma of ambition under her hands. The system even reminded him that he had gained 10 points of loyalty, which made her feel extremely short-changed.

Xia Houlan, who knew this, surprisingly did not get angry because his friend's reputation was damaged.

What surprised him even more was why Gongsun Yan dared to be so confident and bold and hand over the power at hand to Zhao Yun without any reservation!

If Zhao Yun had the slightest thought and turned around to join Cao, Yuan and others with the cavalry seeds of the white horse Yi Cong, he would definitely have a good future. This little lady would really be in vain.

Although Zhao Yun is definitely not this kind of person, Xia Houlan, who has known Zhao Yun since childhood, just trusts him. Where does Gongsun Yan's trust come from?

Xia Houlan, who had no idea that Gongsun Yan could see Zhao Yun's loyalty, was dumbfounded by Gongsun Yan's unreserved trust in Zhao Yun, and looked at her with new admiration.

I'm afraid many men don't have the courage and trust to risk their lives and fortunes.

Xia Houlan silently thought about it and gained a favorable impression of +20.
Gongsun Yan didn't know the specific reason. She only felt that Xia Houlan was more cooperative in work after that day, and acted like a subordinate.

The stewed horse meat that I made by myself was not as Gongsun Yan expected. It was astonishing. Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan had a crazy favorable impression +10+10 on their heads.
Even with the addition of fish-removing ingredients, without a pressure cooker, the horse meat will still be tough and tough after being stewed for a long time.

After the meal, Gongsun Yan secretly conducted a survey on whether to choose between horse meat and instant noodles. Gongsun Cheng's child chose chicken soup instant noodles without hesitation.

This made Gongsun Yan a little frustrated, and he vowed to build a big kitchen again when he was stable, and cooked delicious food every day to increase the knowledge of this ignorant child, and never lose the face of a time-travelling girl.

The plan to personally cook and grow the favorability score failed. The next day, Gongsun Yan seriously bought two flashy Hundred Refined Wild Goose Ling knives from the trading machine and handed them over to Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan in person.

Without her own main city, the system is not fully functional. She cannot activate the weapon system as a force, purchase or customize weapons.

So I can only buy uncut civilian collectibles from the trader.

It's not that she wants to use this unedged collectible to trick Zhao Yun or Xia Houlan. The forging technology and blade strength of the combat-grade integrated steel sword produced by this system still surpass the current Eastern Han Dynasty weapon forging technology.

It's just a little troublesome to sharpen it yourself.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun is more able to resist temptation.

Xia Houlan was immediately lost in the new shape of Yan Ling Dao without any resistance.

Never leave your hands to study this new saber specially designed for horse fighting.

The steel of the blade body, the special-shaped staggered silver grooves on the blade, the ink-filled vermilion pattern on the back of the blade, the hollow weight-reducing hand guard on the handle...

All these things made Xia Houlan, a cold weapon enthusiast, crazy. He transformed into a hundred thousand whys and kept asking Gongsun Yan which famous artist made it, what kind of material it was made of, and what kind of craftsmanship it was.

Gongsun Yanquan bought the blade because it was black and had bright red lines on it. It looked very cool. How could she know more about it?

I had to tell him that I would have a chance to give him the forging method in the future.

I thought about stabilizing the local method of steel-making in the future and leaving it to him to study on his own. Maybe he could produce a super-evolved steel-making expert Xia Houlan.

Maybe it’s because there’s a cake hanging from Gongsun Yan’s painting, or maybe Xia Houlan is a very particular person.

In short, after taking away Gongsun Yan's sword, when Zhao Yun assigned Xia Houlan, who was familiar with the law, to assist Gongsun Yan in rectifying internal affairs, his degree of cooperation skyrocketed.
