Chapter 1230: The rainstorm promotes melancholy
"It's a bit of a hassle under this heavy rain!"
Qin Ying held the pottery bowl in her hand, which was boiling hot water, and now there is no such thing as a coarse tea stalk in the army, and the hot water is more used to warm the wet and cold body.
With a small sip of steaming water, Qin Ying only felt that her body instantly recovered its temperature, and the heavy rain for two consecutive days not only made the river surge, but also plunged everyone into darkness and cold.
At this time, it is already late autumn, and it should be an autumn rain and a cold situation, and if this situation continues, it may not take a few days for heavy snow to fall.
Whether it is the summer clothes worn by the soldiers of the Shenwu Army or the Persian soldiers, once the temperature drops down significantly, in addition to facing normal deaths, there is also the dilemma of dying of freezing and starvation due to low temperature.
As the commander of an army, Qin Ying has to take all the unfavorable factors into account, once the worst situation occurs, in order to preserve his strength, he can only cancel all the previous plans.
"It's a heavy rain, why does Brother Qin say it's troublesome?"
After all, Du Zhou had no experience in battle battles, and many factors on the battlefield were not well considered, he only saw a heavy rain that lasted for two days and one night caused the nameless river to swell, completely separating the Great Food Soldiers into two sections, so that they could not take care of each other, which was a very good situation for them.
Qin Ying raised her head and did not answer the question directly, but beckoned him to come in quickly and take a sip of hot water.
"It's Brother Du, come on, come on, drink hot water and warm up!"
Du Zhou entered the military tent, sat on the Hu bed, picked up the pottery bowl on the Hu table, poured half a bowl of boiling water from the copper kettle, and drank it when he picked it up.
Seeing this, Qin Ying couldn't help laughing.
"Why is Brother Du so impatient? This boiling water is slow, you can drink it in small sips!"
The copper kettle has been sitting on the clay stove, the firewood inside has been burned to the point that it is all red coals, and the water temperature is naturally open and open, but I saw that Du Zhou's mouth was already hot and red.
While talking, Qin Ying was not idle, picked up the copper basin full of cold water next to her and handed it over, "Quick, cool down, don't bubble!"
It is so hot that it is impossible not to bubble, Du Zhou was very annoyed, and glared at Qin Ying angrily, he was originally rushing here, who would have thought that he would be swept away by a bowl of boiling water.
The hand towel was dipped in cold ash and applied to the hot place for a long time, before I felt that the hot pain on my mouth was much weaker.
"This time, the river is swelling in the torrential rain, why don't Brother Qin order to exterminate the big food soldiers on the river bank, anyway, they can't take care of each other, which saves a lot of trouble!"
Qin Ying has also thought about this problem, but there are too many uncertain factors, although the river is soaring, it does not mean that the big food soldiers have no way to cross the river, if they tear their faces, they can't solve the battle in a short time, and they are the ones who are passive.
Moreover, he and the Persian soldiers were alone, and the big food soldiers were at the doorstep, and the longer they dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for their side.
If this is the case, it is better to follow the original plan and let Abbas walk into the trap step by step, but this heavy rain has caused some trouble, and the time will be extended again.
After talking about this analysis, Du Zhou was also a little excited, suddenly sneezed, trembled, and immediately thought of the heating problem of the soldiers after cooling down.
The top of the military can enjoy military tents and stoves. hot water, and the vast majority of ordinary soldiers could only stay in cramped, cold and wet tents.
"May this rain stop soon, and let the sun's rays dispel the moisture and cold!"
Qin Ying nodded approvingly, it seems that this Du Zhou is a very smart person, although he is a little anxious, but it is unknown whether he will become a character who will be in charge after the experience.
The two discussed the dynamics and goals of the Great Cannibals on the other side of the river for a while, and finally agreed that the Great Cannibals were very likely to cross the river and then attack them.
"The cavalry sent to the sneak attack the night before followed by heavy rain and caught the cannibals off guard, this is also a small punishment, the Shenwu army can still maintain a considerable level of combat effectiveness in the bad weather environment, this is undoubtedly gratifying, if the prime minister can personally lead the Shenwu army to cross the green ridge to this point, there is no need for those rabble Persians, Khorasan is also in my Tang Dynasty's bag!"
Suddenly, Qin Ying sighed.
Du Zhou felt strange when he saw this, in his impression, Qin Ying was a person who rarely expressed his personal private opinions, and it was so abnormal today, it seemed that the long-term pressure had caused some subtle changes in his heart.
However, the prime minister has indeed ordered the Shenwu army to cross the green mountains, and the specific details of whether the target is Khorasan are not yet known, but one thing is certain, the Shenwu army is getting closer and closer to here.
Thinking of this, Du Zhou said:
"We don't have much time, the difficulties are temporary, if we don't take this opportunity to make enviable contributions, when the Shenwu Army comes in a big way, where is the opportunity for you and me?"
Du Zhou's words are not an exaggeration, in the Shenwu Army, even Qin Ying is a rising generation, and he himself is a fledgling stunned young man.
The fierce generals in the Shenwu army are like clouds, so naturally they will not be left too many opportunities.
Obviously, Qin Ying's eyes were a little confused, and she said for a while:
"The prime minister's goal may not be a big food this year!"
This made Du Zhou frown, he had just met the prime minister, and Qin Ying had been away from the prime minister for nearly a year, didn't the other party understand the prime minister's intentions better?
can think back carefully, in the process of meeting with the prime minister, the prime minister really did not mention where the main target of the main attack was this time over the green ridge, if it was not in Dashi, where should it be?
"Brother Qin, what do you think, the little brother is willing to hear about it!"
Unexpectedly, Qin Ying didn't answer, but laughed meaningfully.
"Okay, no matter how much you say at this time, it's just speculation, the most important thing at the moment is to solve the old dog Abbas as soon as possible, so that he can become a stepping stone for you and my brother as soon as possible!"
Du Zhou was dissatisfied with Qin Ying's betrayal, but when he mentioned making Abbas a stepping stone to fame, his eyes suddenly became bright and bright.
"Could it be that Brother Qin already has a plan to win?"
He was still very convinced of Qin Ying's ability, and it would not be strange at all if he thought of a countermeasure with a great chance of victory in the blink of an eye.
Qin Ying said:
"This rain is a little depressing, and the mood has been affected a little, but when you talk to you, you suddenly think of a key question, Abbas has always thought that the 600,000 dinars are in your army, so how will he speculate on your and my thoughts?"
