Red Feather was no longer available, so the personal guards had to carry Ma Yue's spiritual power mark and go directly to the Southern Branch to deliver the message. Poor Haifan City only had two horses left, and they were just in time to use them.
Ma Yue realized that the southern branch was not in a good position either. Those who could migrate should do so as much as possible, as they could no longer stay in this warm area.
"Guan Dao, Zhou Qiang, you've also experienced bloody battles. It's time for you to grow up. Not only must you be able to fight, but you must also adapt to leading the others in farming and fully develop your organizational skills. This time, you two will lead the team first and obtain the donkeys from the Tengu tribe. You must lead everyone to start production and farming as soon as possible..."
Three thousand regular soldiers, of course, would not do without capable generals. Guan Dao and Zhou Qiang followed Ma Yue to participate in the great battle between Dongshuiwan and the Guilin King Tribe, which was considered a good experience.
Time passed, and young generals continued to grow and rise. Guan Dao and Zhou Qiang were still young... not young anymore, almost twenty years old, right? They had already been adults for seven or eight years.
"If the Tengu Tribe plays tricks on us, just run with the team." Ma Yue's first principle was to save his life first. However, this time, they didn't even have large livestock. If the Tengu Tribe plotted against the Hai Tribe and didn't provide them with large livestock, escaping would be difficult.
You have to gamble on everything. With three thousand soldiers, Ma Yue can afford to gamble.
If they were all concentrated in Xi'an, the limitations would be too great. Salt! Ma Yue went to Donghai Island to take a gamble, hoping to get more salt.
Salt is the source of life and an important guarantee of physical strength. Even if the grain output is low, if we get more salt, we can better maintain life.
Ma Yue also knew that once he went to Donghai Island, he would be involved in the dispute between the two major tribes and would be in trouble.
However, the sudden, severe cold snap in the warm zone severely disrupted Ma Yue's recuperation plans. The Hai Tribe was large, and they needed food and salt. Without the vast food reserves of the warm zone, relying solely on the distributed farming in Xi'an was too limited and would not work. Ma Yue had no other choice but to find a way out on the East China Sea Island.
Ma Yue seriously suspected that Xiaoshan Valley would soon collapse.
Guan Dao and Zhou Qiang, along with a large group of troops and part of the Communist production army, followed the Tengu tribe's ships and went away. Their future is uncertain.
"Charlatan!" After waiting for a few days, the Horse-Faced Demon from Nankai City arrived.
"What's going on over there?"
"Goddammit, this is no use! The warm zone seems to be doomed. The ice and snow have already reached Nankai City. To escape the cold, I can only have a large number of my people migrate to the nearby southern forest..."
There were more people in Nankai City, many of whom were migrated there from the northern branch. Ma Yue had thought that the south would be warmer. However, the worst situation still occurred. The warm area in the south was also occupied by ice and snow.
The Horse-Faced Order organized a large migration of his people to the southern forest. The southern forest was far away, and they had to go. Waiting here would mean death. The Sea Tribe had too many people, and there weren't enough people with thick fur coats.
At this point, Nankai City only had a hundred or so donkeys left as livestock. The rest were used to form snow carts to carry the tribesmen on their migration. The snow carts couldn't carry so many people, so they had no choice but to move on.
There are about 3,000 regular soldiers left in Nankai City, wearing thick fur coats. That's all Nankai City has.
If the charlatan agrees this time, Horse-Faced Guard will be ready to take these 3,000 regular soldiers and leave, completely abandoning Nankai City.
"You charlatan, it would be good to migrate to Donghai Island. However, it is too cold here. Even if the soldiers have thick fur coats, they can't reach Haifan City." Horse-faced man was so worried.
"Don't worry, we're not going to make salt, so why do we need such a big outlet?"
"Right!" Horse-Faced Guard slapped his head. "Let me think about it. It's not far from Nankai City. There are still some small outlets to the sea. As long as the ships can reach there, there will be no problem."
How deep can the waterline of a ship be these days?
"There's no need to rush. Wait until our own ships arrive, then you can migrate."
"I understand. That damn Tengu tribe is really unreliable." Horse-faced Man was badly beaten by the two major tribes on Donghai Island. It was good enough that he could escape with his life.
"Okay, bring your donkeys into the big cabin and warm them by the fire." Haifan City was too cold. If these donkeys were left outside for a few more minutes, they would probably freeze to death. Besides, there were only two horses in Haifan City, and even large animals couldn't survive in the city.
Only the fifty-man guard remained in Haifan City. The cabin was spacious enough, with enough fuel to keep them warm and alive. The two returning messengers and the two guards brought by Horse-Faced Guard, along with two horses and three donkeys, were taken into the large cabin, where they were left to linger.
Fortunately, there is no cold wind in this big wooden house, and there is a bonfire. It is warmer than outside, right?
"Kill it and eat the meat." One of the donkeys, not having much vitality, died. Running from Nankai City to Haifan City in such cold weather, and even asking for help, was exhausting and cold...
By the third day, all two horses and three donkeys had died. Okay, have you fulfilled your historical mission? In such cold weather, even a large animal running around outside would be too much for it. Whether it's humans or livestock, they adapt to a certain climate. If they can't adapt to a sudden change, they die.
Relatively speaking, people's adaptability is still good.
"Don't move. I have a spirit boat. Let's go to Nankai City and take a look at the two small sea outlets you mentioned." In this horrible weather, no one can leave the house except Ma Yue, the immortal cultivator.
Nankai City is not far away. It takes three days for cavalry to reach it, but it is too close for Ma Yue who is sailing on a spiritual boat.
