When the grass grows and the birds fly, the entire vast sea has long faded out and has a full of vitality.

From Yanmen County to the north, flooding was everywhere, with people-eating swamps everywhere, with barren lakes and majestic waters. Countless ferocious beasts lie under the ice lake in autumn and winter, separating the Yanzhou people from the vast sea barbarians into two worlds, and directly to the swamps, lakes and rivers after winter were in full swings, lakes and rivers were frozen again.

But to the north, six or seven thousand miles, the wild river finally tamed and merged into a big lake. The surrounding terrain was also slightly higher. Under the interweaving of rivers, this large lake with hundreds of miles radius was like a pearl, quietly embedded in the green land, and the lake's wasteland was also suitable for farming and pastoral farming.

The summer breeze blew, and ripples appeared on the lake. Facing the rising sun, a group of scale eagles paraded the water, rising and falling from time to time. Under the sharp claws, the big fish several feet long struggled. After catching the big fish, the scale eagles immediately turned back and flew to the shore. There were some scale eagles behind them who had gained nothing, screaming, and scrambling.

At the entrance of the lake, a huge and simple village was built in front of the gentle slope of the river mouth, standing there quietly in the face of the gentle summer breeze. The entire Dazhai Square Garden was more than ten miles away, and the village was bustling like a market. Although it was located deep in the Hanhai Grassland, the village was filled with different people from the barbarians, and it was not a slave village of any barbarians.

Ning Chan'er wore a gauze and covered her beautiful face, frowned slightly, stood on a low mountain by the lake, and said in her ear: "Although Yan Yuan cannot be considered a famous general who has not been published in a century, he is still considered a normal person. In just over a year, he can gain a foothold on the edge of the grassland surrounded by wolves and lead the Black Yan Army into this way. Isn't it worth your investment, right?"

Chen Hai smiled and did not answer, but what he saw was different from Ning Chan'er.

He had already noticed that a large amount of land had been reclaimed around Dazhai, but on the grassland, it was easy to talk about the grain fields that could support 300,000 to 400,000 people.

Besides, Yan Yuan led the remnants of the Heiyan tribe and his family to retreat north in a hurry. How many resources can he bring?

The grain fields that have been reclaimed are limited, and the green seedlings do not look so strong. If the harvest season comes, barbarians from all sides will come to plunder, and the remnants of the Black Yan army will not be able to harvest much grain. However, Yan Yuan led his troops to do not occupy the more steeper valleys, but choose to gain a foothold in the open estuary. They should consider whether they can rely on fishing and hunting to supplement grain to survive the spring famine.

Although the village is messy, it can be considered orderly after careful study. There will be some tall buildings in the center suddenly emerge. Although the traces of knife and axe on the wall have been repaired, you can still see a lot of them. From this we can conclude that this place should be expanded after the Black Yan Army seized a barbarian camp.

Chen Hai didn't think that this trip would definitely convince Yan Yuan, but he just needed to work hard; Ning Chan'er looked at him and refused to answer, but was worried.

She has always acted in a down-to-earth manner and was free and easy. After the death of the great master Gong Qing and others, she became even more unscrupulous. However, after Cang Yi used magic to suppress her soul a few days ago, she felt as if there was a sharp sword hanging above her head, and she was frightened all day long.

Although she believed that under the influence of the succubus soul species, Chen Hai would not be in any way unfavorable to her, she was never her character, so she thought about selling the last remnant of the Black Yan Army to Chen Hai.

It seems that the remnants of the Black Yan Army still have 100,000 combat soldiers, but Ning Chan'er didn't know how much combat power there is and how much weight it can have in Chen Hai's mind.

Walking further into the village, the crowd gradually decreased, and slowly I could hear the soldiers' shouts of killing. Ning Chan'er felt much more at ease and walked slowly into it with Chen Hai.

This village is divided into two floors inside and outside. The inner city is slightly smaller, only three or four miles in a radius. It is the military camp and the guard wall is stronger. Yan Yuan’s big tent is in the middle.

At this time, Yan Yuan was sitting in front of the desk, staring at the document in his hand and frowned.

The content of the document is similar to the past, but it is nothing more than the poor growth of green seedlings. If you want to increase the yield, you ask to pull out more iron to cast agricultural tools. The scout found hundreds of monster barbarian spirits cruising around Chimei Lake, and asked to send troops to wipe out them so that they could suppress the surrounding barbarians' ambitions, and so on.

When Yan Yuan saw that the situation of the Black Yan army was over, he could not escape the bleak ending of defeat after he continued to stalemate in Yanmen County. He was willing to fight for the Daochan Temple and the Red Eyebrow Sect until the end, but it did not mean that the more than 100,000 elite soldiers under his command would also have to be buried in the Daochan Temple, not to mention that there were more than 300,000 innocent families.

After Huang Shuang, Le Yi and others were surrendered, he saw that the Hu Ben army was attacking Xia Songdu Mountain in the north, and he was unable to resist, so he could only retreat north in a hurry from Yanmen County.

After leaving Yanmen Pass, the Black Yan Army traveled a long distance and finally found such a habitat here. Seeing the big lake curved like a eyebrows, the predecessor of the Black Yan Army was the Red Eyebrow Sect, Yan Yuan named this lake Chimei Lake. Previously, a barbarian of 30,000 to 40,000 people lived and reproduced here.

At that time, the Black Yan Army had been worn out by the long march and had all its patience and besieged the tribe without temptation. Fortunately, most tribes on the grassland had no defense, either fighting, fleeing, or surrendering, and had no other options at all.

Although the barbarians were fierce and stubborn, the tens of thousands of remnants of the Black Yan Army were all elite soldiers. After all, their combat power was extraordinary. They surrounded three and one and had several bloody battles, and finally drove the barbarians out of Chimei Lake.

Hundreds of thousands of human races have not yet been able to take root in the vast grassland. The first problem to be placed in front of them is that although the Chimei Lake is convenient for fishing and hunting, there are no dense forests and stone ridges, which can be used to mine wood and stone. The materials carried by the Black Yan army to the north can also build earthen walls around the village.

This is deep in the grassland surrounded by enemies, so it is too difficult to gain a foothold.

The lack of a large number of farm tools and reclaiming wasteland is extremely difficult. We can only rely on fishing and hunting to supplement food, but the cold winter is the real enemy of the Black Yan Army.

After more than ten thousand years of evolution, the demon man has long adapted to the severe cold of the extreme north. His body is much stronger than ordinary humans and can easily survive the cold winter. However, the ordinary people in Yanzhou cannot do it. They retreated north in a hurry and did not have enough clothes to protect the cold.

In the first winter when entering the Hanhai Grassland, there were more than 400,000 people on the way and entering Chimei Lake. There were 70,000 to 80,000 elderly, weak, women and children who died of ice and starved to death. It can be said that it was a terrible sight.

After they gained a foothold in Chimei Lake, barbarians from all directions were even more annoyed. Fortunately, the Kelie tribe in the north and Tuoba tribes who suddenly advanced north also felt quite sudden. Last winter, they did not rashly assemble large-scale army troops to attack, which made Yan Yuan and the others breathe a little.

Just lie by the bed and cannot sleep soundly. A few or even several big bloody battles will break out sooner or later. At that time, how long can tens of thousands of defeated soldiers stand here?

He picked up the teacup on the desk and took a sip. Yan Yuan shook his head worriedly, not caring about the bitterness of the tea soup. Hearing the rushing footsteps outside the tent, he saw a guard guard burying his head in and bowing, saying, "Report to Yan Shuai, Longxiang Captain Chen Hai comes to ask for a meeting!"
