Because of Tian Kai's sobriety, the biggest doubts and uneasiness in Gongsun Yan's heart were solved, and some problems also emerged.
"Does General Gongsun hide military supplies in Youzhou?"
After waking up the first day, Tian Kai's condition recovered rapidly. When he set off the next day, he was able to sit in the rickety carriage and drink porridge with his help.
After he was completely awake, he had the energy to observe some problems.
The sergeants in the team are all dressed thickly without exposing their flesh. They wear hoods to cover their heads and faces, brown goggles, and thick-soled boots that follow each step step by step. At a glance, you can tell that this team is extremely rich and different.
It’s hard not to notice the style of painting.
Tian Kai was a little confused, but he had to believe the claims that Gongsun Yan and Zhao Yun had bitten them to death, otherwise no one would be able to explain where these things came from.
He touched the mummy's sleeping bag under him with some emotion, "I think General Gongsun had already planned to conquer beyond the Great Wall, so he secretly made these preparations."
In 188 AD, when Gongsun Zan was conquering Zhang Chun, he pursued the enemy too far and was surrounded by Wuhuanqiu Liju in Guanzi City in western Liaoning for 200 days.
Most of Gongsun Zan's soldiers were killed or wounded. No one knows how he survived these two hundred days. In the end, Qiu Li ran out of food and retreated, and Gongsun Zan walked out of Guanzi City alive with a mouth full of blood.
After the battle of Guanzicheng, Gongsun Zan's character changed dramatically, and his attitude towards the barbarians went to the extreme - a dead barbarian is a good barbarian.
Tian Kai speculated that these clearly directional warm-keeping equipment were prepared by Gongsun Zan in order to take the initiative to attack outside the Great Wall and completely defeat the Hu people.
But he didn't expect that he would die before leaving the army, and in the end he would be trapped by Yuan Shao to death.
Seeing that he had figured out the cause and effect on his own, Gongsun Yan and Zhao Yun naturally didn't talk much.
The team marched for another two days, and they had entered the border of western Liaoning.
Zhao Yun followed suit and replenished the horse feed and human rations for five days.
Seeing that he could reach Lingzhi in two days, Gongsun Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Zhu, Wang Wu and a group of troops went to Lingzhi to report the news and asked the Gongsun family to take care of it.
When everything was already going well,
But unfortunately, it started to snow again.
The team once again put on the windproof hats that were almost laid off yesterday.
In just one morning, the temperature dropped sharply, and the newly melted snow began to spread again.
Gongsun Yan sat in the carriage and stuffed Gongsun Cheng into his sleeping bag. The weather outside suddenly changed, and she could no longer let Gongsun Cheng ride a horse. He couldn't stand the weather outside.
The carriage swayed forward, a small charcoal stove was burning in the carriage, and the wind and snow poured in through the small vent left by Gongsun Yan.
Even with my feet on the edge of the stove, it was still as cold as ice.
She looked out through the small breathable slit.
It was windy and snowy outside, and everyone got off their horses, hunched over and holding on to the reins tightly, using the horse's body to escape the sharp cold wind.
Looking around, she could see a vast expanse of sky and earth, with strong winds mixed with goose feathers and heavy snow. She could not even see the figures a few steps away, nor could she hear the familiar sound of hoofbeats that accompanied the carriage in the past.
There was only the sound of the howling wind and the creaking and turning of the carriage's wooden axle.
Gongsun Yan had some inexplicable panic. For the first time, she really faced the heavy snow that eats people during the Little Ice Age in the late Han Dynasty.
The preparations I had been so confident about before seemed not so foolproof.
The small charcoal stove fixed on the carriage carriage with a wooden bracket, and the kettle mounted on it, finally made a whining sound, and Gongsun Yan hurriedly lifted the boiling hot water down.
The carriage of the carriage was a bit low, so she bowed awkwardly and opened the thick windshield in front of the carriage.
The moment the windshield curtain was opened, a cold wind like a razor rushed up, mixed with large snowflakes. Gongsun Yan instantly felt a pain on his face.
Xia Houlan drove a carriage, wearing a windproof hat, string gloves, a military coat, and his body was covered with snow.
Wang Wu usually did the work of driving the carriage. Zhang Zhu and Wang Wu went to Lingzhi to report the news. Zhao Yun led the team to lead the way and clear the way. This job fell to Xia Houlan.
Afraid that the oncoming wind would blow into the carriage and make Gongsun bear the cold, Gongsun Yan hurriedly lowered the windshield behind him.
It almost took a shout for Xia Houlan to understand what she meant. He took out the military kettle hanging in his coat and asked her to fill him with a pot of hot water.
Xia Houlan seemed to have said something again, but the wind was so strong that Gongsun Yan couldn't hear clearly.
She stood on the carriage, holding on to the carriage, straightening up and looking forward with her feet on her feet. Her black hair was dancing in the wind and snow. She could only see a few shadowy people in black coats in front of her, hunched over against the wind and snow. Hard progress.
Not seeing Zhao Yun's figure, she was a little worried and didn't know what was going on ahead.
Xia Houlan saw the little lady next to her standing up and blowing snow particles all over her face in an instant. She admired her desperate spirit and dared to stand up and watch even though she didn't wear a windproof hat.
After shouting several times, she didn't seem to understand, so he simply grabbed her wrist and pushed her back into the carriage, leaving only the pot of hot water.
Xia Houlan carried a kettle, jumped out of the carriage, walked a few steps quickly, and poured a pot of water for Xin Shi, the driver in front of the car, and Tian Kai, who was in the car, to warm them up.
The two horses pulling the carriage are both well-trained war horses, dragging the heavy carriage, but there is no need to worry about them being frightened. They will follow the team on their own, and it doesn't matter if they leave for a while.
"Zixiu, how are the young master and the young lady doing?"
Tian Kai was half lying in a sleeping bag, his broken arm was wrapped in a bandage, and he was wearing a military coat. He was in good spirits. He asked Xia Houlan who was getting into the carriage.
"It's okay." Xia Houlan raised the kettle in his hand, "My dear lady, I even boiled hot water."
There was no charcoal stove in Tian Kai's carriage. He was still unconscious before. If he lit the charcoal stove, he might not be able to get warmth, and he would be poisoned by gas first.
After saying hello to Xin Shi who was driving and asking him to look after the carriage behind him, Xia Houlan braved the wind and snow and moved to the front of the team to find Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun was also covered in snow, and his black coat was almost turned white by the snow. He was a little surprised to see Xia Houlan coming through his brown windshield.
"You came here like this?"
Unlike Gongsun Yan who didn't want to get too close to each other and only yelled when talking, Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan didn't have so many scruples, and the two of them put their shoulders and heads together.
"Ms. Gongsun, boil the hot water." Xia Houlan shouted loudly next to Zhao Yun's ear, asking Zhao Yun to take out the kettle and fill it with water.
"Go back quickly." Although Zhao Yun also knew the temperament of the horses, he did not agree with Xia Houlan leaving Gongsun Yan and Gongsun Cheng's carriage.
He didn't blame or scold him out loud. He quickly took out the marching kettle, filled it with hot water, and asked Xiahoulan to go back quickly.
"Got it!" Xia Houlan didn't know Zhao Yun's overly cautious temperament. When he turned his head, he seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye.
He squinted his eyes and raised the brown goggles on his hood to see more clearly.
Zhao Yun made the same move as him, and the two of them looked at each other in unison, confirming that they had seen the same thing.
