Chapter 505 Re-examining Tactics
Winter has arrived, and living conditions in the barbarian lands are becoming increasingly harsh. Moreover, they are not skilled in farming, have few crops, and even daily survival is a problem.

Therefore, they desperately hoped to conquer more of the Central Plains through war after war and seize the supplies that could help them survive the winter.

Even when they were counterattacked by the Xia City guards and suffered repeated defeats, they were still extremely brave!
The Xia City garrison suffered repeated defeats, though not entirely due to their own shortcomings. The lack of reserve supplies, coupled with the delayed arrival of imperial supplies, led to even greater casualties among them.

However, there were previous defeats and sacrifices.

Countless soldiers and generals died in battle.

Among the surviving soldiers today, many are former colleagues of the generals who died in battle.

They desperately hoped that through battle after battle, they could completely drive the barbarians out of the country and into the back alleys, so that they would never be able to threaten their Central Plains again!
At the same time, they also hoped to avenge their fallen comrades.

Being too eager makes everything seem rushed.

Therefore, they fell into the enemy's trap, suffered a defeat, and lost many men.

The Xia City garrison was not large to begin with, and for the past two weeks, they had been on a winning streak, advancing triumphantly and their morale was soaring.

This defeat was a significant blow to them.

When Sheng Jiu heard the news, he was reading Fairy Ling Shuang's reply.

It has to be said, Asuka's efficiency is really high!
She sent the spirit spring water to Fairy Ling Shuang, asking her to help verify whether the spirit spring water would be beneficial to their alchemy and weapon crafting.
Fairy Ling Shuang meticulously conducted the experiment herself and also asked other members of the sect to conduct the experiment.

Not only her level, but also some lower-level alchemists and weapon refiners, after nearly a week of exchanges and experiments, found that this little bottle of water was actually quite useful!

Moreover, despite having so many experts, they couldn't analyze the composition of this spring water.

They can analyze the main components.

However, no more information could be detected.

The news hasn't spread yet; it's only been heard within a small circle of Fairy Ling Shuang's sect. Everyone is very eager to get this water!
It can make their alchemy and weapon crafting process smoother, and even improve the results. Who wouldn't want that!
This isn't about taking shortcuts; they've simply found more techniques!
Because the spiritual spring water was so useful, Fairy Ling Shuang wrote to ask urgently how much it cost.

As long as it's not too outrageous, they're willing to take more!

Of course, when friends exchange messages, after finishing the important matters, they will also chat about everyday things and exchange some gifts.

Along with sending the spiritual spring water to Fairy Ling Shuang, Sheng Jiu also sent her some meat sauce and dried meat.

Considering the other party's almost non-existent cooking skills, Sheng Jiu provided them with ready-made meals, the kind that can be eaten immediately after opening the lid.

In Fairy Ling Shuang's reply, besides the letter, there was also a batch of rabbits with excellent meat quality and shiny fur.

The fresh rabbit was placed in the Qiankun bag to keep it fresh. The bird didn't take too long to arrive, and with the preservation magic cast by Fairy Ling Shuang, the rabbit still felt warm to the touch.

However, birds can't carry too many at once, so their numbers are limited.

However, for Sheng Jiu, more than 600 rabbits is not a small number; it's enough to sell for a while.

This year's Lunar New Year's Eve falls at the end of January. With the New Year fast approaching, the store won't be open for much longer.

If it weren't for the multi-dimensional folding, and were just the Shengji in reality, Sheng Jiu felt that he wouldn't be able to sell all these rabbits!

However, it doesn't matter, she has multiple channels and wouldn't waste such delicious ingredients.

Recently, I've started making rabbit meat!
Rabbit meat is high in protein and low in fat, making it a nourishing delicacy!

Fairy Ling Shuang needed spiritual spring water, so after Sheng Jiu discussed the price with the system, she sent a batch to her directly.

After sending away the spiritual spring water, Sheng Jiu and Prefect Liang discussed the reasons for their defeat.

The reason is actually not complicated, but it is very damaging to morale.

The morale that had just been raised was quickly dampened again. The barbarians, who had previously been somewhat timid, are now regaining their momentum.

Prefect Liang was in a real predicament.

He was a civil official and was really not good at fighting.

However, having served as the prefect of Xia City for many years, he had actually honed some skills, and he could understand simple battlefield situations.

However, complicated ones won't work.

Therefore, in his daily life, he was always accompanied by the general of the Xia City garrison, Lord Lin.

Sheng Jiu didn't know much about these things; most of the time, she was the one listening while Ares was making the plans and directing.

Ares was neither satisfied nor happy about this defeat.

However, this was also within his expectations.

He had warned him before, but Lord Lin listened but didn't fully heed the warning.

The other party was in a somewhat problematic state at the time, which is actually quite normal, and Ares could understand it.

It's like when your own relatives or friends die on the battlefield, you desperately want to avenge them.

While revenge cannot bring the other person back to life, it at least provides psychological comfort.

Ares didn't remind them, because he wanted them to understand.

They are now stronger with Sheng Jiu's help, but they are not invincible.

Moreover, pride comes before a fall!
For half a month, they had been on the offensive, and it was normal for Lord Lin and his men to become somewhat arrogant and complacent without even realizing it.

This wasn't the first time Ares had commanded a battle like this.

Furthermore, since the two parties are only in a cooperative relationship, in actual operation, there will inevitably be some other variables and flexible responses.

Ares couldn't force the other party to do anything, and even if he did, the other party might not be willing to listen.

So, it's good to hit a wall and let these people who are blinded by bloodlust calm down.

Compared to when he left last time, when he was full of vigor and thought he was invincible, this time he was much more humble.

Moreover, compared to the previous impetuousness, this time they are much more down-to-earth.

They started discussing tactics after dinner and continued until late at night.

Sheng Jiu couldn't keep up with him any longer, so she went straight back to sleep.

Lin Duo stayed there with them.

After they had finished discussing, Lin Duo first escorted Lord Lin and Prefect Liang back, and then saw Ares off.
Ares had always been quite envious and jealous of Lin Duo's ability to sleep on the second floor.

He actually wanted to come, but bringing it up would make him seem shameless.

After being seen off by Lin Duo, Ares had a lot to say, but he didn't utter a single word.

What could he possibly have to say to Lin Duo?

Let's see what to send to the small business owner first thing tomorrow morning.

　The second update will be at 19 PM.
