Throughout the day, snowflakes fluttered in the sky, constantly rendering the earth. When it was about to get early morning, the climate became even colder, the north wind was roaring, and large swaths of snowflakes were floating in the north wind.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier.
The land outside the city, which was originally chaotic and dirty due to the siege, soon turned white. The white snow seemed to cover up the sins of the past month and covered everything under the white.
In the face of heavy snow, many people in Baixian Town forgot the killings a few days ago, and thought that this might be a wonderful beginning. [.Piaotian, a registered literary member, recommended this work.]
After dawn, the people looked out through the window, and there was already thick snow outside. Some soldiers guarded their posts without fear of the cold. The heavy snow fell down and turned them into snowmen. The roof of the house
, and the courtyard were covered with thick snow, which looked particularly beautiful. From time to time, the patrols of the Fire Army came and went, leaving long footprints on the snow, but were soon covered by heavy snow.
.
Compared with Baixian County, the Beihai Army Camp was a little bad. The heavy snow day and night actually crushed more than a dozen unbuilt military tents, killing and injuring dozens of people. Some of them came with the army as military rations.
Livestock have their own casualties, but this is just food, life and death. But this situation also makes the generals of each division very worried. If this continues, their retreat will be completely gone.
Learning that the heavy snow was coming at the predicted time, Zhao Xun was in a good mood yesterday and made a series of arrangements at night. This morning, he fell asleep and didn't think about it at all. He even practiced martial arts in the past uninterrupted morning.
It didn't go as usual either.
After more than a dozen people including Yang Wangzhen, Yang Wangqing, Liu Wenqi, Liu Wenqian, Zhang Yuanjing joined the Huolin Army, more than a dozen young people who love the army joined the army, of course they had to start from scratch. Five young people from these three families
The head of the army was appointed by Zhao Xun as the military envoy and counseled military affairs. After a brief conversation, Zhao Xun found that these five people were quick-witted and had extraordinary knowledge, but because they were in the northern border, they were slightly concerned about the situation of Yan State.
Somewhat puzzled.
After dawn, Yang Wangzhen rushed to the camp where Zhao Xun was resting. After waiting in the hall for a long time, Zhao Xun did not get up. Yang Wangzhen walked around the flower hall uneasy, looking at the heavy snow outside the window. The heavy snow gradually became smaller.
Some, but they are still floating. I can see the white area, which is extremely clean. However, who knows how much suffering is hidden behind this white area? Baixian Town is a strategic point, and it is Yanzhou Prefecture
The bridgehead with the northern border, its characteristics, determine that it often endures the baptism of war.
Although they were just following the military envoys and participating in military affairs, in fact, they did not have real power. The counselor, that is, the consultant, and the right to suggest. But Yang Wangzhen and the other five were not discouraged. They also knew that they wanted to gain Zhao Xun's trust.
If you want to gain a high position and gain recognition and convincing from others, you must make achievements and show your true abilities.
When he got up, Zhao Xun wiped his face with cold water and couldn't help but sigh: "I still can't be lazy!"
When he opened the door, he felt a cold air coming towards him, and Zhao Xun couldn't help but tremble.
"Sir!" The personal guards outside the door saluted.
Looking at the personal guard whose face was flushed but still, Zhao Xun nodded in his heart. The branches of the two small trees in the courtyard outside the house were also filled with snowflakes. They were covered in silver and were very beautiful. The cold wind
It kept whizzing past, but the snow on the branches was still firmly wrapped around it, and it accumulated more and more. In the end, the branches were pressed down greatly, and seemed to be broken at any time.
.
"Crack!"
A dull sound came, and Zhao Xun turned his head and looked at it, but a branch was crushed by the snow and fell to the ground. Of course, all the snow on the branches was broken, and the snow on the ground was also smashed and splashed.
When I got up, a gust of wind blew, rolling up the splashing snowflakes, rolling them straight into the sky.
While having breakfast in the inner hall, the snow floating suddenly became heavier and heavier. The sky was completely dominated by heavy snow. Snowflakes as big as goose feathers seemed to circling in the sky, falling slowly without stopping at all.
As a result, the snow on the ground became thicker and thicker, and more and more branches were crushed, making crackling sounds, making people feel a little scared, afraid that the snow on the roof would be too much
It became thicker and eventually overwhelmed the house.
The dark clouds were getting lower and lower, and the whole day seemed to turn into the dusk of the night. Even those without experience could see that the heavy snow would not stop in the short term. The roof also fell on the roof.
Many snowflakes are falling from the roof from time to time, and the snow in the courtyard is getting thicker and thicker.
The heavy snow was not what the generals of the Beihai tribes prayed. Within one day, the heavy snow fell harder. In one night, the heavy snow had reached half a foot deep and had no intention of stopping. As for the siege that the generals said, they had long been thrown away.
To one side.
But Zhao Xun came to the front hall and saw Yang Wang standing by the door of the hall looking at the floating snow. Seeing Zhao Xun coming, Yang Wangzhen hurriedly retreated aside and waited for instructions.
"When did you arrive? Come to me if you have something to do?" Zhao Xun said, looking at the dim sky outside the house.
"I just arrived, sir, I just looked at the celestial phenomena. This snow may take a while, and it will not stop without three or five days. Such heavy snow is probably not a good thing for us." Yang Wangzhen said cautiously.
.
Zhao Xun said in surprise: "What do you mean by this? When heavy snow comes, the cavalry of the Beihai tribes will no longer have an advantage. Moreover, their logistics will be cut off. In other words, they are trapped here. Our army
All the cavalry had arrived, and the scouts were patrolling around the North Navy camp, and they could launch a siege on the North Navy at any time. Why isn't it a good thing?"
Yang Wangzhen said cautiously: "What the lord said is, but I just looked at the sky carefully and felt that this snow disaster would last for a few days. Although it is very beneficial to the war, the heavy snow also brought snow disasters, and it would be at any time.
Unpredictable consequences may occur.”
When Zhao Xun heard this, his face changed, "I was careless and only focused on defeating the North Navy, but I forgot the consequences of the heavy snow. Whether it was Yanzhou Prefecture or Yingzhou Prefecture, the war was shortly after, and production recovery in various places had just begun.
It really can't withstand any natural disasters. If you have any suggestions, it's okay to say it!"
Yang Wangzhen said: "The subordinates suggested that the adults issue emergency instructions to require local officials in various places to pay close attention to the consequences of heavy snow to avoid losses."
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "I am just thinking about it, and this matter will proceed immediately."
Yang Wangzhen then said in an orderly manner: "The most urgent task is not to freeze a person to death or starve him to death. Officials from all over the country should recognize the importance of human resources. Due to the long-term war, the population in various places has continued to decrease, which has seriously affected the recovery of production.
The quantity and quality of the source of troops. All officials should be aware that without a sufficient population base, we cannot obtain sufficient source of troops and logistics supplies, and we cannot achieve the final victory of defeating the Southern Invading Army. Therefore, they are under their jurisdiction
Every life in it is very precious and must be cherished extremely. As long as it can save the lives of the people, we should do our best."
"Especially Yingzhou Prefecture, a few days ago, there were endless wars, and there were many victims everywhere. The task there was the most arduous. The residents there were exploited and plundered by the Marine Army, and the materials were extremely scarce, which may hinder them from spending the winter.
.The distribution of land in the new policy of the Huolin Army has just begun. At this time, there is no farming, and there is no food for it, and life is in a difficult state. Therefore, the new officials of Yingzhou Prefecture are under great pressure, so you must pay close attention.
Their situation ensures that every citizen who is under the jurisdiction can successfully spend this winter. In this way, the Huolin Army will completely gain the support of the people of Yingzhou Prefecture."
After a pause, Yang Wangzhen continued: "Secondly, all regions should be vigilant and strictly prevent the disasters of those bandits. Covering heavy snow, some bandits who wandered in Yingzhou Prefecture and had not been wiped out by the Fire Lin Army, their lives were even more difficult.
, They may take more risky actions and may take more extreme actions to harm the people and seize the needs of life. Therefore, local military officers must pay strict attention to the movements around them, and all these bandits and bandits will be severely punished."
"Okay! That's right!" Zhao Xun praised. "I now appoint you as the Huolin Army's Duke Envoy, inspecting Yingzhou Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture, and urging officials from all over the country to polite civil affairs. Anyone who neglects his duties will be dismissed from his post
Investigate it!"
"Wei Chen! Take a sentry guard and cooperate with the commander to inspect the two governments and set off immediately!"
"I will receive the order!" The two of them answered in unison. Yang Wangzhen also understood that Wei Chen set out randomly, in addition to assisting him in establishing his authority, he also wanted to monitor. After all, he was a new supporter. In this regard, Yang Wangzhen did not do so.
Disappointed, he was excited about Zhao Xun's ability to recognize his talents and reuse himself.
Afterwards, Wei Chen took a squad of the soldiers of the personal guard camp to escort Yang Wangzhen and took Zhao Xun's order toward Yanzhou City. They will inspect the two prefectures and counties to prevent snow disasters.
North Navy Camp.
"Your Majesty, your subordinate scouts were attacked around the camp, losing more than 30 people." Zahe reported to the King of North Sea.
"Attacked?" He frowned when Neptune Chi Shu heard this and asked, "Do you know who did it?" He thought it was a tribe who attacked his scout.
Zhahe said: "Return to the king, according to the rewards from the scouts of his subordinates, it should be the Huolin Army."
"Huo Lin Army? Are you saying that the scout of Huo Lin Army appeared around our army's camp?" Chi Shu asked anxiously.
"Yes, it seems that except for Baixian County facing the south, there are scouts from the Huo Lin Army on the other three sides."
Chi Shu's face turned pale, and she waved her hand to let Zhahe retreat, then looked at Yun Wang who was sitting aside, and Yun Wang's face was full of differences and a hint of worry at this moment.
Chi Shu said: "Yun Wang, what do you think about this?"
Yun Wang sighed and said in a deep voice: "King, it seems that the guardians in Bai County are not simple. At first, the spy said that the guardians in Bai County were Zhao Xun, the commander of Huo Linjun, and I don't care. Now look at it.
Come on, **Bulishi, that's Zhao Xun. He wants to keep everyone here, and he is still very worried!"
"Just relying on the more than 10,000 infantry guarding the city in the city? I'm afraid that we can't keep nearly 40,000 of us." Chi Shu shook his head and said.
Yun Wang smiled bitterly and said, "Don't forget, there are more than 10,000 soldiers in Yanzhou Prefecture. In Yanzhou City and Yanzhou Prefecture counties, the Huolin Army left many soldiers.
, among them, there are cavalry. I am worried that Zhao Xun had already secretly mobilized his troops and gathered in Bai County, waiting to hit us with a thunderous blow."
Chi Shu's face froze immediately, he pondered for a moment, and said, "It seems that it's time for us to withdraw our troops. As for these three soldiers from the Beihai tribes, let them fight to the death with the Huolin Army."
Yun Wang said: "The king should not withdraw his troops directly like this. Once the tribes learn that the king retreats, they will follow. Not to mention whether the king's plan to consume their troops will succeed, it will even trigger the attack of the Irrigated Army.
.Because we are the pioneers of withdrawing troops and will definitely be attacked the sharpest."
"What do you think you should do?"
"Leave some soldiers, and the rest of them are hunting in the snow with the king."
Not long after, some news came out of the Northern Navy camp.
"Have you heard that a white tiger appeared in the forest on the west side of the camp!" A soldier said in a low voice to his brother beside him.
"I've known this for a long time. I heard that the king took two thousand personal troops to hunt in person, saying that he wanted to capture this white tiger alive."
"So that's it, I'm just saying that it's still snowing now, how could there be an army heading towards the west? It turned out to be the king's hunting team."
However, after traveling dozens of miles west, this two thousand hunting team disappeared into the heavy snow, leaving only the footprints of war horses trampling, heading north. The personal army left behind the camp was commanded by the original left-road army.
Muzha is in charge and is also the commander of the entire Beihai Army camp. He was still excited to be the commander of the entire army, but he didn't know that he had been abandoned by his master. Several people felt that he was among the Beihai tribes.
Something is not good, but it cannot be uniquely practiced. I can only wait for the heavy snow to stop before attacking Baixian Town.
