People like Lan Yu, Fu Youde, Ping An, and Li Jinglong are all under your command, Chitose. But secretly, they are clearly your constraints. You said that the person in the East Palace has a big picture, but you don't know that
Before you know it, you have been given a conspiracy that you cannot get rid of!
To put it bluntly, the young monk, if all the wealth in your hands is wiped out, the East Palace only needs an imperial edict to let any one of these people take control of the Liaodong Dusi and control the Beiping Guard. What will Chitose have left in your hands?
When the time comes, I'm afraid you will be a piece of meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by others!
A real man cannot lose power for a day, otherwise he will have no foothold at all!
Yao Guangxiao's words made Zhu Di look grim.
He slowly turned around and looked outside the tent. You said that I know all this, but in my heart... As he spoke, he rubbed the wounds on his arms that had not yet healed. There were so many
Erlang is dead. It's fine that I can't avenge them. I still have to fight with the Tatars... When did I, Zhu Silang, become such a person?
Speaking of this, Zhu Di's face was filled with a complicated wry smile.
Man, who doesn't want to be a man who is upright, flawless, and like a perfect man?
But as we get older, we realize more and more how helpless and ruthless the world is.
This world will never become equally upright just because of how perfect you are, or how heroic and heroic you are. This world wraps up all evils in great rhetoric, forcing people to pinch their noses and become hypocritical.
Become compromised, become inconsistent.
Chitose! Yao Guangxiao continued to say, the world is like a chess game, whether you want to be the one playing chess or the one being played depends on your thoughts!
Let the Tatars go? Zhu Di thought about it and sneered a bit, but he couldn't let them go like this. It would not be an advantage to them. At least tens of thousands more lives would have to be sacrificed to be considered sincere! As he said that, he frowned and thought, and said,
Let them go, where is Lan Yu and Fu Youde...?
Thinking of this, Zhu Di felt disgusted.
Not only Lan Yu but also Fu Youde, the King of Jin is also in the army now, and the King of Liao is also in the army. All of them are people who are proficient in military affairs. If the matter of letting the Tatars go is not done carefully, it will definitely not be hidden from these people.
.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew outside the tent.
The wind fell on my neck, and it was cool. I stretched out my hand to touch the faint icy water stains. Then, the drifting wind was mixed with snowflakes as big as fingernails.
Thousand years old! Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, God help you! It snowed for a few days before, and now it has started again. It is inconvenient for the army to travel in heavy snow. Moreover, countless cattle and sheep will freeze to death over there in the Tatars. It’s the best of both worlds!
Zhu Di raised his head and looked at the snowy sky without speaking.
In another military camp, Lan Yu looked at the falling snowflakes and said nothing.
Having spent half his life fighting in the North, he knows that this is completely different from the snow of the past few days. It was just snowing in the past few days, but now it is a sign of a blizzard. It is impossible to fight on this day, and the snow will make people blind.
If you can't open your eyes, it's hard to move.
A blizzard is like a coastal typhoon, roaring and swallowing everything.
In another military tent, Fu Youde also looked at the sudden drifting snow with a gloomy face.
When a blizzard comes, Ping An's cavalry will be in danger. If they cannot find a place to station before the blizzard, no matter how powerful the troops and horses are, they will not be able to withstand the raging blizzard.
Find Ping Baoer! Fu Youde said softly to the guard beside him, let him rest first, and wait until the snowstorm stops to talk about anything!
~~~~
The food can last for about fifteen days.
There is no shortage of water, and the mountains are covered with snow!
You have to save on livestock fodder and bean cakes!
There is also a lack of firewood! The brothers went far out today and couldn't find any firewood.
In the old and dilapidated Liugenbao, Li Laowai squatted beside the fire and reported the accounts to Li Jinglong, who was huddled in furs and wished he was still cold in the fire.
The sudden arrival of heavy snow meant that the Ming army's logistics line had to suspend supplies. There was nothing we could do about it. Rushing in the wilderness on such a day was no different than courting death.
The latter, wrapped in thick fur, trembled like a quail in the cold wind.
Kick-kick-knock! Listen carefully and you can hear the sound of his teeth tapping up and down.
Outside the castle, the cold wind howled, and large snowflakes fell like cotton wool. Soon everything in sight turned into white. The whiteness alone is not enough, the strong wind that can almost sweep people away is the most deadly.
It is said that there is not enough firewood in the army. Even if there is enough firewood, it cannot be lit in this weather.
Damn it, what kind of day is this?
Leng! Leng!
Damn it, do you have any firewood? Light a few piles and let the brothers warm their hands. My claws are all frozen!
Damn it, the officials are hiding from the fire, and we brothers don’t even have hot water to drink!
Leaning against the half-collapsed wall, Li Jinglong could clearly hear the complaints of the soldiers in the cold wind.
The firelight illuminated his thin, bearded face.
Not having enough firewood is a big deal. Firewood is needed for cooking, water and heating! Li Jinglong took his hands out of his fur and grilled them greedily on the fluttering flames. Since he couldn't find any outside, he had to save some firewood. From today on, firewood will be available.
The charcoal must be carefully reserved for use. Even I cannot use it at will to make a fire!
Speaking of this, he looked sideways at the other generals, what about you?
Others quickly said, it all depends on Zhentai!
It's not up to me, but in difficult times, we have to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers! As he said that, Li Jinglong looked at Li Laowai again, didn't the fodder and bean cakes for the animals not enough? In this case, there is no need to keep so much
The animals are gone, pick some old and weak ones and kill them now!
Now? Li Laowai asked, this dark world is so angry!
Kill, just use the fire on this fire to make broth to warm the brothers!
Outside, there was the sound of the wind like howling ghosts and wolves. If the weather was not so warm, I'm afraid someone might not be able to survive tonight.
Hey! Li Jinglong asked again, do you think it’s hard for us here, but it’s better for the Tatars? They don’t use firewood?
None of the generals spoke, so Li Laowai said, "The master of the house doesn't know something. The Tatars are better at looking at the sky than us. There are many old veterans in their army who specialize in looking at the sky. If they saw that it was going to snow, they would have brought the Tatars with them."
The kid is hiding!
Their tents are thicker and better than ours. As for the firewood you're talking about, what they burn is not firewood! It's dried cow dung!
When the Tatars send troops to fight, it's just like moving! Anyway, there are many horses, pulling carts, tying up tents, bringing pots and pans, and driving livestock...
Damn it, they treat fighting like a living!
With that said, Li Jinglong stood up, threw the furs on his body into the arms of the soldiers beside him, and went to patrol the camp with me!
With a creak, he struggled to open the wind-blocking door. Li Jinglong, who had just stood up, was almost knocked over.
He stood there awkwardly, letting rough snowflakes like sand hit his face in the wind and snow, and went out.
Li Laowai stood behind him, looking at Li Jinglong who was walking into the snow, and suddenly sighed, the head of the old family was like this back then!
