Many people were covered in terrible frostbite all over their bodies.

Jiang Tian looked at their fingers and toes, which were already purple from the cold.

"Forget it, they can't have gone much further. Let them fend for themselves here. We don't need to bother with them anymore."

The group rode their horses back to Hulao Pass.

Inside the central command tent.

Everyone happily sat down.

Steaming bonfires were lit, with several iron hooks hanging from each one.

Roasted lamb chops or lamb legs hang from iron hooks.

A large pot was simmering with milky white mutton soup.

The tent was filled with warm, fragrant steam.

"Everyone, today we won't drink baijiu, we'll drink huangjiu. I have some excellent huangjiu here."

Jiang Tian redeemed over a hundred catties of fine yellow wine from the system's shop.

"Heat this rice wine on the stove, and add some shredded ginger and goji berries."

"It tastes better when it's hot and I drink it."

Soon, the aroma of the hot yellow wine wafted from the large pot.

The aroma of the wine, accompanied by the fragrance of ginger, is truly delightful.

Everyone ate large chunks of meat and drank heartily.

Everyone ate heartily, their jaws agape.

They were eating so much their mouths were greasy.

"Bai Qi, after a short rest, your main force marches south. I need you to conquer a vast territory for me."

"Your subordinate obeys the order and will lead the army to depart tomorrow morning."

"All logistical supplies will be handed over to Shen Wansan," Jiang Tian said as he opened the system warehouse.

At this time, the grain in Jiangtian's system warehouse had reached hundreds of thousands of tons.

The volume of beef and mutton reached hundreds of thousands of tons.

In addition, there is a large amount of hay.

There are all kinds of fodder, totaling 700,000 to 800,000 tons.

These grains, meats, and fodder are currently being carried by Bai Qi's people.

"Once Song Yingxing's highways are completed, wherever you fight, my highways and railways will follow."

Then I will provide you with a continuous supply of resources.

No matter where you are, you will have meat to eat three times a day, ensuring you are well-fed and satisfied.

A good war means not only plenty of wine to drink, but also lots of money to spend.

Bai Qi stood up, holding a wine cup: "Thank you, my lord. We will do our utmost, even unto death."

Just then.

A series of system notification sounds kept ringing out.

[Ding, Zhu Wen's rage points increased by 10235]

[Ding, Li Zicheng's rage value +9522]

[Ding, Zhang Jiao's rage value +8352]

[Ding, Pang Qingyun's rage value has increased]

[Ding, Huang Chao's rage value +8222]

【bite,……】

The rage meter notification kept ringing.

These anger points came not only from the 14 rebel leaders, but also from the ordinary soldiers.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Jiang Tian's anger level had accumulated to several million.

Jiang Tian opened the character profile and took a look.

The character icon isn't responding.

However, the skills section kept flashing.

Jiang Tian quickly opened the skills section.

The cement icon is flashing.

It was a skills book about how to quickly mine and forge cement.

Cement is a good thing.

With cement, reinforced concrete can be made.

With reinforced concrete, skyscrapers can be built.

With concrete, cement roads can be built.

With concrete, cities can be built even higher.

With concrete, sturdy sea fortresses can be built.

This thing is really a good thing.

However, this is a cement forging method, which is extremely expensive, costing a full 5 million.

Jiang Tian increasingly felt that the prices of these items in the system were getting more and more expensive.

Before Jiang Tian transmigrated, he was just an idle person.

If he had studied physics and chemistry well, he could have written down the cement production method.

With the cement production method, Song Yingxing, with his clever mind, could mass-produce cement in no time.

Jiang Tian spent 5 million rage points without hesitation to exchange for the cement forging method.

This thing is really expensive.

Jiang Tian handed the book to Ling Yunzhi: "Send this book to Song Yingxing in the capital as quickly as possible, and ask him to find a way to produce a batch of cement for me first."

This book has a whopping six or seven hundred pages.

The book not only records the production methods of cement, but also the methods of using cement.

Looking at this thick book, Jiang Tian suddenly felt that spending over 5 million anger points wasn't too expensive.

"Here..." Ling Yunzhi took a big gulp of Shaoxing wine, picked up a steaming hot roasted lamb leg, and rushed out of the tent.

"Come on, let's drink!" Jiang Tian said loudly, holding up a wine bowl.

Everyone picked up their wine bowls and drank the wine in one gulp.

...

Outside the tent.

Pang Qingyun nearly froze to death overnight.

Another day passed, and four of the dozen or so people had frozen to death, while the rest were all on the verge of death.

Just then, Huang Chao crawled over.

"Brother, we have to get out of here right away, or we're all going to die here."

Pang Qingyun nodded, but then he looked at his own legs.

His legs were a bloody mess.

Adding to the cold of the freezing night, his legs had turned black from the cold.

Many parts are already necrotic!
