In the afternoon, the sky was still dark. (《》网7* A biting cold wind blew up. The yellow sand that covered the sky dyed the sky a desolate yellow.
The entire Baoding Mansion is shrouded in yellow sand. Looking at it, it looks like an old castle in a sand painting, dilapidated but extremely heavy.
Outside the Baoding government office, the soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles were as silent as water, standing outside the door like statues. The wind and sand passed by, and their bodies were covered with a thick layer of sand and dust. But these soldiers remained motionless.
, with a stern look.
Behind them, the gate of the government office was closed and heavily guarded.
The cold wind blew by, and the torn paper on the window lattice was trembling violently. The clattering sound made people extremely irritated.
Although the brazier was burning brightly in the room, the low temperature still caused everyone in the room to shiver.
"What's going on these days? It's only September, why is it so cold!" Zhan Xiong, who had just walked in, rubbed his hands and red ears and cursed.
Beside him, Duan Peng took a breath of hot breath into the palm of his hand, nodded in agreement, and said with a wry smile: "I thought it was only so cold in the south, but it turns out it's even colder in the north!"
Duan Peng turned around and asked Wang Xi, the Hebei guard beside him: "Is it always so cold in Baoding?"
Wang Xirang is a typical northern man, seven feet tall. He has a Chinese character face and thick lips. He always has a simple and honest smile on his bronze face.
However, if you are fooled by Wang Xirang's loyal smile and think that this person is an honest and honest person, you would be totally wrong.
This person was promoted from the head of the Ministry of Punishment. He is proficient in the methods of torture. To put it simply, this guy is good at extorting confessions through torture. His methods are ruthless and he has other tricks.
This person was transferred to Hebei in the early years of Qingyuan. In three years, he was promoted from a fifth-rank Guide general to a third-rank Guide general. "".com.com guarded Yanshan in northern Hebei for a generation. Since he arrived
The Yanshan generation defeated Turkic attacks many times. Their military exploits were outstanding and their reputation spread far and wide.
According to the generals around him, those tough-tongued Turks were clearly explained to Wang Xirang without even a cup of tea.
Not only that, even his generals learned a good way to torture prisoners from him.
The Turks felt deeply that this man was cruel and ruthless, and they were frightened and called him the Demon King.
In the past few days, Zhan Xiong and his Snow Wolf Battalion have been staying with this person to learn torture techniques.
Wang Xirang couldn't refuse, so he agreed.
Very humbly, in front of Zhan Xiong and others, I found a Turk to test it out. All the generals in the Snow Wolf Battalion were immediately shocked.
However, after the compliments, everyone was also frightened by this guy's ruthless methods under his smiling glasses.
At this time, Wang Xirang was squatting in front of the brazier, with a cheerful smile on his face, watching Zhan Xiong and Duan Peng bickering. His honest smile made people who knew his details roll their eyes with contempt.
Hearing Duan Peng ask himself, Wang Xirang smiled, scratched his head and said, "I don't know, I've only been here four years! It was so cold when I came here!"
Hearing this, Duan Peng smiled bitterly and shook his head, cursing and saying: "It's so damn unlucky, this damn weather!"
On the side, Zhan Xiong thought for a moment after hearing this. After pondering for a moment, he squatted down, leaned over the brazier, and asked Wang Xirang: "According to this, the northern desert is colder than this now?"
Zhan Xiong is the battalion officer of the Snow Wolf Battalion. Although he does not seem to be a big official, his status is extremely high. Moreover, when he was in Tokyo, he had a very good relationship with the military advisor. He naturally knows more things than others.
Previously, the military advisor had mentioned to him intentionally or unintentionally that the operational scope of the Snow Wolf Camp this time was not in Shanxi, but in the Mobei Grassland.
In addition to the various meetings he attended with the military advisor when he was in Tokyo a few days ago. (《》网.com) Zhanxiong knew that this time the imperial court mobilized the whole country and mobilized more than 400,000 troops and countless reserve troops.
The large-scale battle was originally intended to target the Turks. The Jin king's troops were just part of the effort.
Since his combat radius is in the grassland, he urgently needs various intelligence information from the Turks at this moment. Among them, the weather is the most important one.
Wang Xirang was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhan Xiong asked about the northern grassland. Seeing the questioning look in Zhan Xiong's eyes, Wang Xirang was puzzled, but he still nodded and answered: "Well, General Zhan is right. We have been here in previous years.
By that time, the autumn grass in the northern grasslands is probably already dry and yellow, and it might have already snowed. This year is colder than in previous years, and the grasslands at this time may already be covered in heavy snow!"
"Seriously?" Zhan Xiong's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, he stood up and asked excitedly.
"Never leave ten!" Wang Xirang nodded, picked up a piece of charcoal with tongs and threw it into the brazier. Then he climbed down and blew into the smoking brazier, and saw that the fire was getting stronger. Wang Xirang then straightened up.
Turning around and seeing Zhan Xiong looking so surprised and excited, Wang Xirang felt a little puzzled and asked with a smile: "Why is General Zhan so excited?"
"Haha!" Zhan Xiong's heart suddenly froze, and then he realized that he was a little too excited. He laughed loudly, covering up his excitement. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "In such a cold weather,
Freeze those Turkic bastards to death!"
"That's right, freeze those bastards to death!" Wang Xirang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and agreed.
On the side, Duan Peng looked at Zhan Xiong's pretentious look and chuckled, but surprisingly he did not cause trouble.
"The military advisor has arrived!"
At this moment, the guard guarding the door suddenly stood at attention, put one hand on his chest, saluted the visitor outside, and sang loudly.
After the three people in the room heard the guard's voice, they immediately put down their hands, stood up, and lined up in a row.
The door curtain was lifted with a roar, and the cold wind carried yellow sand and blew in.
Lu Heng, who had changed into a fur cloak and was covered with yellow sand, walked in.
After entering the room, Lu Heng walked straight to the chair, untied the rope, took off his cloak and the dog leather gloves on his hands, and handed them to Agui who was standing next to him, also wearing gloves.
He sat down, picked up the hot tea on the table, and after having a cup, he saw Zhan Xiong and the other three standing upright in front of him, eagerly looking at the gloves in Agui's hands. Lu Heng smiled and blew the tea.
There were tea leaves floating on the water in the cup, and he raised his hand and said: "Find a chair for yourself! Agui, sit down too!"
Zhan Xiong and the other three glanced around, then each moved a chair and sat down. However, the three of them still looked at Agui. Their fiery eyes made Agui feel uncomfortable all over.
"Commander, what is this thing? It looks pretty good!" Seeing Agui's arrogant look, the three of them felt itchy, but they were embarrassed to ask. After some shirk, the three finally decided to guess the game.
With a wink, the three of them turned around, their heads crowded together. After counting one, two, three, they punched together. As a result, Wang Xirang was defeated.
Seeing Wang Xirang's dejected and frightened look, Zhan Xiong chuckled and winked at Duan Peng beside him.
"Oh!" Lu Heng said vaguely, glanced at Agui sitting next to him, the dog-skin gloves in his hands, and said with a smile: "You said this, these are called gloves, um, they keep you warm.
!”
"Gloves, what a name!" Wang Xirang scratched his head, his bronze face full of honest smile. His big eyes actually shone with a frightening light. It was the light of tears.
Duan Peng and Zhan Xiong were anxious when they saw Wang Xi letting this guy talk to him lamely.
He was scratching his head and kept trying to tease Wang Xirang, telling him to get to the point quickly.
However, Wang Xirang seemed not to notice, still laughing, looking at the warm gloves in Agui's hand in rapt attention, and said to himself: "What a good name, what a good name!"
Lu Heng, who was sitting on the chair, couldn't help but feel secretly happy when he saw the anxious expressions of the three people in front of him.
He picked up the tea and took a leisurely sip. It was only when the three of them were getting excited that Lu Heng slowly put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you guys also have a share in these gloves. Not just you, you guys
I have all the soldiers under my command!"
Hearing the military advisor say that these gloves have been prepared for the entire army. General Zhan Xiong's face suddenly became happy, he stood up excitedly, and asked eagerly: "Really?"
"Ha, there are no jokes in the army!" Lu Heng smiled slightly, then looked at Wang Xirang pretending to be angry, and said with a smile: "Does General Wang not trust Lu?"
Wang Xirang, who was extremely happy in his heart, knew that the military advisor was making fun of him, but he still waved his hands in fear and said: "I don't dare, I don't dare!"
Seeing Wang Xirang's panic, Lu Heng shook his head helplessly and smiled. He turned around and said to Agui: "Agui, give them something!"
"Yes, sir!" Agui nodded, and handed the cloak and gloves to Wen Zhang beside him. He took off his backpack, opened it, and took out three identical gloves, one by one.
and threw it into the arms of Zhan Xiong and the others.
Wang Xirang was so busy that he couldn't help but put it on and take it off again, repeating this process more than ten times. In the end, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
However, this guy, while smiling, raised his head and covered his eyes.
On the side, Zhan Xiong and Duan Peng couldn't help but feel doubtful when they saw Wang Xirang losing his composure.
"General Wang, what are you..." Zhan Xiong smiled and was about to make a joke. However, halfway through his words, he could no longer say anything.
In the dark room, the sun shines in, and a bright beam of light adds a little brightness to the dark room.
Wang Xirang, who looked like an iron tower, actually shed tears at this moment.
The hot tears flowed down the cheeks, making people feel sour in their hearts.
"It's great, it's great!" Wang Xirang still covered his eyes to prevent others from seeing his tears. He clutched the dog leather gloves tightly with both hands, pursed his lips and said tremblingly: "With it,
Brothers will never lose their fingers due to cold, never again!"
