Demon Lord 3

I thought this was a good thing to hear, but he sighed again. The enemy also had hundreds of thousands of men. In this situation, 1000 men might be the difference between success and failure. If we sent in elite troops, the main force would be leaderless. If we sent in weaker forces, the situation wouldn't be completely resolved. I asked him what we should do. He thought carefully and said we couldn't deal with the manpower issue for now. I asked him about supplies. He explained that the drought this year had left no surplus food, and the main force was also running low on food. He'd gone through a lot of trouble to get a batch of food, but now that he couldn't grow any more, he'd have to wait until spring to find other solutions. He said the priority wasn't supplies, after all, I'd provided some medicine. The next issue was food. He could ask some of the border troops to send some food. Actually, they could just forage for wild vegetables or find insects in the fields every day to eat, which would at least keep them from starving. Food wasn't the most important issue, but how to avoid being succumbed to the cold. Many people had already frozen to death here. Curious, I asked him what we should do. In fact, I have been thinking about this for a long time. How to prevent people from freezing to death? We can burn a stove inside the house, but the people outside will always be hungry and cold. I thought of a room where people outside can take turns living, and people inside can live outside. But he said that the alternation of cold and heat will make people more likely to be frozen. But think about the people who have been standing outside. When they enter the house, they will be sick due to the sudden cold and heat. But the people who have been outside may also be frozen to death. Is the inside and outside of the house determined by drawing lots, or by the size of the official position? In fact, for those who could come here, there was no distinction between official positions at all. Why could some people stay inside while others stayed outside? Was it because of their military achievements or because they could get some food? There was no distinction between people of high and low status. But when he thought about the fact that there were people inside and people outside, apart from the wounded, how would they get by? Even if there was only one person outside, it would be difficult to deal with. Wen Qihua suddenly had a good idea. That was to tear down the existing house tomorrow and build a new one. This new house should be large enough to accommodate all these people. As long as it didn't collapse, they could light a fire inside so that everyone could stay warm. Someone would take turns standing guard outside, but they could change guards every hour. If it was too cold in winter, they could change guards every half hour. After he came up with this idea, he was also very happy from the bottom of his heart, but suddenly he thought that something was wrong. Wasn't it very difficult to build a house now? Let me think of a good idea. I have never opened a house, so I had to lower my head helplessly. However, when I looked down at the ground, I found a good idea. This is indeed a hilltop, but it seems that this is not completely a mountain. My previous impression of the hilltops was all soil, but this is different. There seems to be stone underneath, not just a layer above. Maybe these are all stones, not rocks. Maybe there was a house built here before, and I don’t know why it was suddenly demolished and filled up. So there should be a lot of stones underneath. I will dig and see tomorrow. If it is stone, I can build a stone house. Instead of wooden houses, stone houses are also more resistant to the cold in winter. In fact, brick houses are the best, but brick houses cannot be built now. Wen Qihua was very happy after hearing this and said that construction would begin tomorrow. However, thinking that in addition to the troops here, there are many small troops scattered in colder places, he fell silent again. He asked me what to do. I thought about it and did think of a good idea. That is, he will stay here tomorrow to supervise everyone building houses, while I will go down the back mountain to find the command post and contact other troops. We will do it according to our method. Then we will go to our base to get some elite troops to supervise. At this time, another person came out of the room, ready to change shifts. The time for the person outside was also up. When he was about to go back, his feet went weak and he accidentally fell to the ground. Wen Qihua hurriedly went to help the person. As he floated up, the person subconsciously said thank you. Wen Qihua immediately realized that the person was actually a woman. Wen Qihua also gave the person a sharp look and said, "Another girl."
