"I want to remind the general that if the blizzard at Hera Pass is heavy enough, the north of Uli Mountain will be covered with ice and snow."

"When the time comes, Yelu Hong may still take the opportunity to counterattack, and the general must be prepared."

Chen Dong's news is very valuable, and Long Chen did not take this into consideration.

If a blizzard suddenly strikes and the Great Zhou army is not ready to keep the cold, Yelu Hong will take advantage of the blizzard to raid, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Okay, I just spent three times the price to buy cold-proof supplies, you must give it to me!"

"Transfer some infantry equipment to me! Also, I want to ask, can you get a snowboard?"

Long Chen said solemnly.

Chen Dong was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise and joy appeared on his face, but then he calmed down and said, "As long as you give money, the general has other plans?"

Long Chen smiled and said, "Businessmen only talk about business, don't ask about anything else."

Chen Dong smiled and said, "Okay, it will be delivered on time! I am looking forward to the general's combat plan."

Long Chen always beats more with less and plays very wonderfully. Chen Dong feels like he is watching a big show.

"There is another thing I want to ask, where is Yelu Hong's wife and children?"

Chen Dong hesitated and said, "The general asked why this?"

The battle between the army had nothing to do with Yelu Hong's wife and children.

"If you know, tell me immediately."

Long Chen left the tent, returned to the camp, and found Emperor Lingyi.

"You're going to find the caravan of the World Association?"

Di Lingyi just got up and was still combing her hair.

"Yes, I asked them to prepare enough cold protection supplies."

Di Lingyi was a little surprised and asked, "Aren't we enough cotton coats now? We also need cold-proof supplies?"

Long Chen said: "I heard that there is an inch of spring cold from time to time north of Wuli Mountain. If a blizzard comes, our current supplies are simply not enough."

"I plan to leave only half of the five thousand logistics troops, and the others escort the wounded to retreat first."

Di Lingyi looked up at the sky where the sun was coming out and said, "Are you too cautious?"

Long Chen said: "Be cautious and there is no big mistake. Retreat first. Staying in the wounded is also a burden."

Di Lingyi nodded and agreed, and immediately asked Zhang Man to lead the team and lead the wounded to retreat south.

Long Chen also advised Wu Xiangyun to leave first, but Wu Xiangyun was of course unwilling to do so. Long Chen tried to persuade her and finally let her go.

....

Hera Pass.

There is a mountain range here that stretches for thousands of miles. To the north is a completely cold area, with only ice and snow and vast coniferous forests, and even the barbarians dare not enter.

There is a gap in the middle of the mountain range that is Hera Pass.

The cold wind in the north blew south from the Hera Pass, bringing cold and snow.

The horse master was wearing a thick sheepskin coat and a thick sheepskin hat on his head, and his nose was frozen into ice bumps.

"No wonder the abbot said that cold is the most powerful weapon of the wolf clan. If our soldiers arrive here, they will be frozen to death."

At the beginning, Ma Zun was stubborn and only wore a monk's robe. Later, he couldn't stand the cold, so he put on a sheepskin coat. Later, his bald head was frozen and he wore a sheepskin hat.

Yelu Hong walked in front and said nothing, sat down on the war horse, one step deep and one step shallow, and stepped on the snow and moved forward with difficulty.

The wise man Abuji said: "Yes, the cold is our biggest barrier."

The barbarian army was getting fewer and fewer, with only more than 50,000 soldiers following behind.

The battle of Ahpo suffered heavy losses, the wolf cavalry was almost wiped out, and half of the Dan warriors were killed, leaving only more than 10,000 left.

The other tribes were defeated twice in a row and were very resentful towards Yelu Hong, especially the wise kings on both sides were captured, and many of their subordinates fled halfway.

When he arrived at Hera Pass, Yelu Hong ordered a tent to build a camp on site.

Sitting in the tent and counting the number of people, there were not many tribal leaders left.

"Shanyu, should you bring the Yan clan and the princes here?"

During this period, Yelu Hong hid his wife and children, and the families of other soldiers did not follow the army.

The situation is urgent now, and Abuji proposes to bring people here.

"No, let's talk about it when you defeat Long Cheng'en."

Yelu Hong didn't want his family to be killed, and he thought it would be better not to come.

"We only have 50,000 soldiers left now..."

Yelu Hong sighed and felt very powerless.

Ma Zun comforted: "There is no need for Shanyu. In the Battle of Ahpo, Long Chengen did not get any benefits. He could not exceed 30,000 troops and horses, so we still have the advantage."

Yelu Hong was speechless. 50,000 versus 30,000, what is the advantage of military strength?

Abuji also said: "I see the blizzard coming. When the ice and snow fall again, we can counterattack."

Yelu Hong was helpless and said, "That's all we can do. Let's rest here first. I think Long Cheng'en dare not chase him here."

The Hera Pass is the coldest place on the grassland, and Yelu Hong thinks it is the safest place.

Outside the tent, Baoyin hurried in and said, "Shanyu, I just got the news that Tuzhi claimed to be Shanyu in Ahpo, and the wise kings and the leaders of the left and right sides of the gang have recognized it."

"Tuzhi sent an envoy to inform all tribes in the grassland to surrender."

Upon hearing this news, Yelu Hong jumped up in anger and cursed: "What qualifications do he have to call himself Shanyu? He has not received the recognition of the wolf god!"

"Yelu Xiong and Yelu Su, these two traitors, have long seen that they are not loyal, and they have indeed betrayed the enemy!"

"Send an envoy to tell the grassland tribes that this king is the Shanyu, and Tuzhi is not!"

Baoyin immediately left the tent and sent a waiter to the grassland departments to pass on orders.

The wise man Abuji worried, "What if Tuzhi and Long Chengen go to Buhan Holy Mountain to worship?"

In the eyes of the barbarians, as long as they have sacrificed themselves in Mount Buhan, they will be able to obtain the orthodox throne.

Yelu Hong couldn't sit still and said angrily: "Send troops to Buhanshan immediately, and you must stop Tuzhi from doing this!"

Ma Zun immediately stopped him and said, "Shanyu is a little restless. If we go to Mount Buhan, we will easily fall into the trap of Long Chengen."

Yelu Hong ignored it and said, "Mount Buhan is a holy mountain. If Tuzhi sacrifices to the wolf god, he can become the orthodox of the grassland."

Ma Zun said: "Is it really related to the sacrifice to the wolf god?"

Yelu Hong was silent...

Hu Xie was the Shanyu back then, and Yelu Hong ascended the Shanyu's position with his sneak attack.

Although the Wolf God is the belief of the wolf clan, strength is the most fundamental.

"As long as Shanyu kills Tuzhi, so what if he sacrifices to the wolf god?"

"The Shanyu cares so much about Buhan Mountain, Long Chengen must know that he must be ambushed in Buhan Mountain, and that he will be defeated again."

The bystander was clearly visible and saw more thoroughly.

Yelu Hong also calmed down and said, "The master said it makes sense. Even if he sacrifices to the wolf god, as long as I kill him, I will still be orthodox."

"Wait, when the blizzard comes, I will still be the king of the wolf clan!"

....

Ahpo.

The cotton coats that can keep warm and the horse coats that can fight the horses are transported one after another.

I have to say that the world is really capable. Such places far away from the Central Plains can transport materials so quickly.

Zhang Qian picked up the horse clothes and said, "I'm afraid that ordinary people can't wear such a good horse clothes."

Di Lingyi asked, "Is it very expensive?"

Long Chen said: "It's very expensive, but it's worth it. If this battle can permanently resolve the barbarian threat, there will be no need to gather heavy troops after Yanmen Pass. We can also build elite cavalry."

Long Chen supports the Tu Branch to become the new Shanyu, and the Tu Branch will definitely be rewarded, and it is impossible to give it for nothing.

War horses are the most precious materials on the grassland and the foundation for building elite cavalry. This is what Long Chen values ​​the most.

"And what? What do you want to do?"

Emperor Lingyi was a little curious. After pacifying the barbarians, Long Chen seemed to have new ideas.
