"What? No more firewood!"
After the logistics officials finished reporting, before Xiao Han could say anything, Cheng Yaojin next to him had already jumped up first!
He stared at Xiao Han in shock: "Oh, such a big thing! Why didn't you say it earlier!"
Speaking of which, Cheng Yaojin has thrown all the logistics matters to Xiao Han these days. Zhengle is relaxed, but he never expected that Xiao Han, who has always been very good at handling logistics matters, would have such a big mistake!
Now that I suddenly heard this news, I really scared him!
You know, it’s winter here now! The temperature is so cold at night!
These days and nights, even if he ran out to pee, he would have to worry about whether he would freeze it!
It's like this cold day, if the firewood is broken, what else will they fight? They are all waiting to be frozen to death in this field!
"What should I do? There are not even trees growing around here! I can't even cut wood, but I can't even cut it!"
At this moment, except for the shocked Cheng Yaojin, Liu Hongji and Duan Zhixuan were obviously panicked after hearing the news.
They used to march and fight, but they were just the source of rice, grain and water. When did they worry about firewood?
Without firewood, send troops out to find a mountain to cut it down. If you guard the green mountains, are you afraid that there will be no firewood to burn it?
But now, they came to this rabbit's place where no shit was shit. Looking around, except for sand and stone, they were close to the water source and lake, and some weeds could grow.
As for the tree?
It seems that there are not none, but apart from the few poplar forests I encountered, I have never seen any trees elsewhere.
Even if I see it occasionally, there are still a few trees, not even a forest. Even if it is cut down, it is not enough for the army to make a meal!
"What a broken place, why doesn't even grow a tree?"
Looking at the bare surroundings, Liu Hongji and the others cursed viciously, but they didn't know:
In this Tuguhun, due to the severe precipitation, coupled with factors such as climate and altitude, it is not suitable for tree growth.
Even if a few trees grow occasionally near those rivers and lakes, the bark of the herdsmen's cattle and sheep will be quickly gnawed by the bark, and they will not be able to survive at all! Therefore, they naturally cannot see a few trees.
And without trees, there will be no firewood! You can’t expect to rely on that little weed to keep warm, right?
The seemingly many weeds, when they encounter Mars, burned into ashes in less than a few breaths. Not to mention keeping warm, they can’t even boil the pot of water!
"It's safe!"
Xiao Han sat by the bonfire. Seeing Cheng Yaojin and a few fussy looks, he couldn't help rolling his eyes and snorted: "Isn't it just that there is no firewood? What's the big fuss about this? Don't worry, with me here, I can't freeze you!"
"Oh? Do you have a way?"
When he heard Xiao Han's unhurried tone, Cheng Yaojin, who was still extremely anxious just now, felt at ease!
He knew that Xiao Han was so calm, so he naturally had a way to deal with it!
So he hurriedly sat down again, asked with a smile on his face, "Let's say it quickly, what's your solution?"
"Haha, Shanren, I have my own tricks!"
Seeing that Cheng Pifu, who had dealt with him two days ago, now she smiled like a chrysanthemum, Xiao Han felt refreshed.
He saw him proudly kicking a piece of firewood into the fire, and ignored Cheng Yaojin, but patted his butt and stood up, "I won't bother you to worry about these things! As long as you train the cavalry well, you will give me all the rest!"
"Why???"
Seeing that Xiao Han was about to leave, Cheng Yaojin glared at the sight of the bull's eyes and wanted to get up and stop him and ask for details.
But before he could stand up straight, Liu Hongji's big hand reached out from one side and pulled him down again!
"Haha, old Cheng, don't worry about him!" Liu Hongji pointed at Xiao Han's back with a humble hand and said, "The more you ask him, the more he is erect! Anyway, he said, this matter will be covered by him. After two days, you will know?"
"But!" Cheng Yaojin knew that Liu Hongji was right, but he was still a little worried. After all, without firewood, that was not a trivial matter!
Although he wants to take over this matter, what if he brags? Or what if something goes wrong?
Lao Cheng didn't want this nearly 100,000 army to turn into a pile of ice sculptures on the grassland and desert.
"Don't do it!" Just as Cheng Yaojin was still hesitating, Duan Zhixuan also spoke. He pointed to the large group of yaks in the camp in the distance and smiled bitterly: "Best of all, we are like those Tuguhun people, just burn cow dung! We have so many cows, so we can save some money and we can always make ends meet. At that time, we will get close to Tuguhun Capital, and we will grab them again!"
Burn cow dung?
This is indeed a way.
But if you want to rely on burning cow dung to supply the firewood of a hundred thousand troops, it is probably difficult for those cows to have diarrhea all day long!
So Xiao Han never thought about using this method. What he used was another method, a method that others never thought of!
"Carbonite? How can there be carbonite here?"
A few days later, the first car of black coal was transported into the camp, Cheng Yaojin and others immediately ran over as if they had discovered a new continent, and heard the news and surrounded the coal-pulled truck!
"No, of course I dug it! Do you want to fall from the sky? Aren't you afraid of smashing your head?"
Xiao Han just squeezed in from outside the crowd. When he carefully looked at the coal in the car, he found that it was just some of the worst quality lignite, and he was immediately disappointed.
However, he also knew that even if it was just lignite, it was more heat than firewood, which was enough for them to keep warm and cook now!
"Of course I know this was digging, but where did you dig it?!" Cheng Yaojin touched the coals like a treasure, not caring that his hands had been dyed black.
Now he just wants to know where Xiao Han got these treasures? He hasn't seen him send someone out to search for them during this period?!
Xiao Han rolled his eyes and hummed in anger: "How can I tell you where I dug? Our Xiao family caravan will point to this thing to make a fortune in the future!"
"Get rich? Xiao family caravan?" Cheng Yaojin raised his head strangely and looked at Xiao Han: "You mean, this thing was discovered by your caravan?"
I have to say that Lao Cheng looks rough and straightforward on the outside, but in fact he is an extremely shrewd black fat man!
Xiao Han only leaked a little bit of noise, and he guessed the source of these coals.
