The snow started falling from the light snow. Everyone was relieved. The day finally stopped getting hot. But soon I couldn't get happy, and the snow kept falling.

Originally, the snow melted quickly, but it could not stand the falling. Soon the water turned into ice and the snow began to accumulate. Three days later, I got up and opened the window and saw that the whole world was covered in white.

The clothes on this body are getting thicker and thicker, just like the snow. If ordinary people don’t have enough cotton clothes at home, the whole family will hide on the bed and cover them with quilts, and there will be almost no pedestrians on the road.

Sitianjian log: "It's heavy snow. The flat ground is three feet thick, and most cattle, sheep and livestock are frozen to death, and the road is frozen to death."

There was a charcoal fire in the house. Xining stood in front of the map and listened to the news coming from all over the place.

After half a month of snow, many cattle and sheep in the Huns froze to death. It is said that they are everywhere and all over the ground. Those who have not yet frozen to death gather together and shivered in the flying snow. While standing, they fell down and froze to death.

Butler Xiao was so handsome: "The county lord has such a good eye. This year, cotton has not been able to make cotton coats and shoes. Now the things in the warehouse have increased by at least 20% compared to the original one. The charcoal fire has doubled and is still rising."

Xining held the corner of her mouth: "Let it go first, don't move." There are other cotton coats and quilts in the city, which should be able to provide the people's lives.

Butler Xiao immediately followed the meaning and said, "Of course, the price will rise in the snow for a few more days."

At this time, the concierge came to rumor that it was County Mayor Zhou who asked for a meeting.

After Xining allowed, she asked Butler Xiao to retreat.

County Magistrate Zhou hurried over with his master, looking nervous: "County Lord, something is not good, the Huns are coming!"

"What's strange about it? The Huns seemed to have been coming here every now and then in previous years." Xining sat back on her original position. Jing'er next to her immediately covered her with a thick quilt, and handed her a soup girl who had filled her with hot water and wrapped her thick cloth.

The sheepskin cloak worn by County Mayor Zhou was hung with unmelted snowflakes. Now the snow outside is so big that it is as dense as rain.

He couldn't help but lean into the carbon pot, and knelt down and stretched out his hand to bake it with the heat: "This time, the Huns encountered a snow disaster, and countless cattle and sheep were killed and injured. The Khan led all the troops and divided the troops into three groups to attack Yanmen, Ningwu, and Linguan. Linguan was defending hard, and it seemed that they would be lost soon. How could this be good?"

"What should I do? Just pack up my things and run away." Xining covered the Tom Pozi and leaned on him very reluctantly.

"Oh~" County Magistrate Zhou felt something was wrong after answering. After thinking about it, he asked, "Will the county magistrate go together?"

Xining smiled: "Without the order of the king, no princes, county lords and township lords are allowed to leave their fiefdoms. This is the rule set by Emperor Gaozong. Where do you think I can go?"

If you leave the fiefdom without authorization, there will be suspicion of treason. At the least, you will be demoted and paid for your salary. At the worst, you will be confiscated and become a commoner. Even more, you will be beheaded directly. This is why the master of your body is thrown here. The Huns are attacked and cannot leave. If you dare to leave, it is equivalent to having your life in the hands of the King of Han. Life and death are just the things that the King of Han said!

When County Magistrate Zhou heard this, he straightened his back: "Then the officials can't leave!"

Xining smiles without saying a word, and loves not to leave.

She slowly stood up, walked to the map, and looked at the three levels of Yanmen, Ningwu and Lin Pass.

The master knelt down and analyzed: "The capital of Yanmenli has the largest number of troops recently, Ningwu is second, Linguan is the weakest but farthest. If not unexpectedly, attacking Linguan is just a dispersed force. If you can fight here, you will just grab some property."

Xining asked leisurely: "That means, you should open the city gate and let them rob it. If you get enough, you will naturally leave, right?"

The master bit the bullet and said, "The county lord may not be happy after hearing this, but this is exactly what happened."

Of course it was not fast, very unhappy. Xining said slowly: "Well, after the Xiongnu came, open the city gate and let them come to Zhou Mansion and our county lord's mansion. I don't know how many female relatives there were in Zhou County Magistrate's mansion. I heard that these barbarians robbed women back and became female slaves, and played with them and killed them freely, and could be bought and sold like cattle and sheep."

When County Magistrate Zhou heard this, he immediately stated: "I am willing to live and die with Linyi County together with the county lord."

"Don't live together!" Xining said lightly: "County Magistrate Zhou hurried away with his family now, maybe it's still time. The Huns have always sent troops quickly, and they may not be able to leave if they are too late."

County Magistrate Zhou was stunned and immediately bowed and said goodbye.

As soon as County Magistrate Zhou and his master left, Jing'er couldn't help but ask: "The county magistrate asked them to leave like this?"

A dead soldier flashed in and bowed with his fists: "Lin Pass has lost, and the remaining troops are retreating to Linyi County."

Xining turned to look at the map, as if sighing: "It's only seventy miles away from the Guanguan area, and it will be within one or two hours. If County Magistrate Zhou still wants to pack up the ceremony, he will not be able to leave!"

"Stop taking it, the Huns are about to fight over. What's the use of these things?" County Magistrate Zhou was so anxious that he was sweating. The carriages and horses were already arranged, but these women were still saluting.

"This was bought for a lot of money!" Mrs. Zhou kicked the Shu brocade and various jewelry into her arms that she bought from the county owner's store.

"Oh~" No matter how anxious County Magistrate Zhou jumped with his feet, he couldn't speed up their speed.

"Master, it's not good!" The slave ran in and reported the message: "There was lost before the pass, and the remaining defenders fled. As soon as they entered the city, they closed the city gate and did not allow anyone to enter or exit."

"What?" County Magistrate Zhou's eyes were so angry.

"Can't you leave?" Madam Zhou's face changed in fear.

"Yes, I can't get out of it, I can't get out of it." County Magistrate Zhou fell down in dismay.

Madam Zhou loosened her hand, and the Shujin in her arms fell to the ground. She collapsed beside County Magistrate Zhou, shook County Magistrate Zhou's arm, and cried: "Master, think of a solution quickly, what should I do..."

"Okay!" County Magistrate Zhou shook his arm angrily: "The general is unbearable to the orders of the king outside. Now whoever has the soldiers will have the final say! I just told you to go quickly and leave quickly, and I have to clean up. Now it's fine, I can't leave anymore."

After the city gate was closed, the Xiongnu chased the door outside, shouted a few times, and then stationed five miles outside the city.

The people in the city were panicked, and Xining was even more unhappy. At that time, the city gate was closed, but it was closed for one night. The next day, the defenders were defeated without fighting and opened the city gate to surrender.

The Huns breached the contract and rushed into the city to burn, kill and rape them. In the chaos, the owner had to hang himself on his beam to maintain his last dignity as the county lord.

So she wanted to visit the general in charge of the defenders and see what was going on.

The Han military ranks are divided into six ranks, with nearly a hundred titles, and various generals are dazzling.

Lin Pass is remote and far from the capital, so the geographical location is not important. There is only one fifth-rank Ningyuan General Zhang guarding him.

Originally, there were 5,000 defenders, more than 500 died, and more than 4,000 people fled into the city.

After asking about the general situation, Xining asked someone to bring ten sheep, two carts of grain about one thousand kilograms, and followed her to "comfort the army".
