The black wolf and Zhou Wen unceremoniously occupied Zhao Hu's left and right, followed by Sun Jie, who was close to the black wolf, Dio, who was close to Zhou Wen, and Locke and Luo Fei slept on the periphery. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I don't know how long it took, Zhao Hu woke up automatically, opened his eyes, and found that it was dark all around, except for the whistling sound of the hula wind outside, everything was quiet, listening to the sound, Zhao Hu knew that the blizzard was coming.

Quietly got up and came to the periphery, there were always torches burning around the perimeter, so the sentry immediately saluted Zhao Hu, these sentry posts were all in shifts, Zhao Hu did not let him rest, but asked, "Isn't it dawn yet?" What's going on out there? ”

"Sir, it's dawn, it snowed so hard last night, I took a look, and the snow was almost waist-high for me!" The sentry said excitedly that he was an Imperial soldier, probably because he had never seen such a big snow.

"Well, come with me to open the passage and look outside." Zhao Hu nodded and said.

Zhao Hu and several sentries were ready to open the passage, but a gap was opened, and the biting cold wind immediately rushed in with snowflakes.

Zhao Hu, who was beaten with a face of snow, couldn't help but shudder, stopped the sentry from continuing to open the door, and endured the cold and looked out through the gap, and what came into his eyes was a snow-white, white and snow-white connecting the sky.

Seeing the snowflakes that were blown around by the strong wind, and the snow that was waist-high, Zhao Hu gasped, if it weren't for these carriages and supplies, he might have turned into snow.

"Close the door." Zhao Hu said a little tremblingly, just after a while, his face was blown unconscious by the cold wind, and his hands were numb.

When he closed the door, he saw the sentries bouncing around to keep warm, indicating that they were also cold by the cold wind blowing in through the crack in the door.

Zhao Hu looked at the dim environment and said with a smile: "Come, remove a few pieces of the hay blanket on each circle, and let in the light and wind." Otherwise, we wouldn't have so many torches to light it up. ”

Although those guards knew that it must be very cold after moving away, they also knew that the light was insufficient now, and it was inconvenient to do anything, so they obeyed orders.

Moved away a few hay blankets, sure enough, it was much brighter, but it was also a lot colder immediately, a few sentries smiled and hid aside to watch the excitement, sure enough, after a while, the sound of sneezing sounded one after another, and most of the people were awakened by freezing.

Zhao Hu immediately shouted: "All attention! ”

The servant soldier was still vague, but the imperial soldier immediately reflexed, and jumped up and stood upright.

"I'll give you half an hour to clean up your personal hygiene, and after half an hour, everyone will gather in the outer circle!" Zhao Hu shouted with a cold face.

The Imperial soldiers immediately got busy, and the servant soldiers were stunned for a moment and then followed suit.

Not to mention anything else, there were so many people vying to go to the toilet that there was almost a fight, and some servant soldiers even ran out to solve the problem in the blizzard.

Half an hour later, more than 1,000 people were all crowded in the outer circle, Zhao Hu glanced at everyone, and ordered: "Go back to the resting place according to the establishment, and conduct morning training under the leadership of the officer!" ”

Everyone was stunned, how can you train early in such a small place?

However, seeing that Zhao Hu was already doing push-ups on the spot, the squad leader and centurion immediately took their subordinates back to their sleeping places to start training. The grooms and veterinarians who didn't know how to do it had to follow the movements of the logistics soldiers, and they were moving for a while.

After the morning training, all the combat soldiers stepped on their horses, and did the action of sprinting and slashing and pulling the empty strings on the horses, while the logistics soldiers began to prepare breakfast.

Wouldn't it be enough to melt the snow?

The groom and veterinarian also began to check for problems with the horses, and they were busy anyway. Not to mention, this busy one didn't care about the cold wind blowing in from the gap.

While having breakfast, Zhao Hu found Lao Dao and a few centurions and asked, "Do you know how long this snowstorm will take?" ”

Lao Dao and the others nodded hurriedly: "I know, it won't stop until at least the next month, and the next month will be Xiaoxue." ”

"A month!" Zhao Hu's face changed, but he still continued to ask, "Is it a continuous storm and snowstorm during this period?" ”

"Of course not, if this were the case, we prairie people would have died a long time ago." Old Dao smiled: "Except for the first five or seven days of the blizzard day, the blizzard is continuous, and the rest of the time is just snow. ”

Zhao Hu's eyes flashed: "That means that there will only be a strong wind in the first few days?" The rest of the time it's snowing? ”

Lao Dao nodded: "It's usually like this, but sometimes the weather is bad and the wind will blow suddenly." ”

"How many days are there with a blizzard after the first few days?" Zhao Hu asked again.

"Not much, only once or twice, but there are a lot of light snowstorms, and we grassland people don't go out much during the snowy time in these two months." The old knife said affirmatively.

"Good." Zhao Hu nodded.

Hearing these words, Dio thought that Zhao Hu was worried about the lack of food and grass and hurriedly said: "My lord, we have enough food and grass, as long as we are careful of frostbite, we don't have to worry about anything at all." And now it's snowing days for two months, so we don't have to worry about the flag soldiers coming to sneak attack, we can have a good rest. ”

"I'm not worried about that, what do you think we're going to be in when the snow melts?" Zhao Hu asked.

"What's the situation? It's not going to be fat, is it? Well, do you mean we haven't been active for two months and our bodies are broken? Dio looked puzzled.

"No, then we'll be on the run for endlessly. As long as more people participate in the hunt for us, sooner or later, so few of us will be surrounded by pastoral flags. ”

Zhao Hu said with a serious expression.

Dio was stunned for a moment, he was not stupid, and soon knew what Zhao Hu meant when he said this: "My lord, do you want to set off in the snow when there is no violent snowstorm?" ”

"Yes, only in this kind of weather can we have hope of leaving the grassland, and in such heavy snow, we don't have to be afraid of being surrounded by others, we can move forward slowly."

Zhao Hu said with a firm expression.

As soon as Dio saw Zhao Hu's expression, he knew that he had made a decision, but think about it, although it was very hard to brave the heavy snow to advance, but the people who had the carriage and supplies seemed to be in no danger other than that, the enemy would not chase and kill, and they could advance while shoveling snow, and it would be good to return home a day earlier.

The next day, there was still no strong wind, and the sky would not change, so Zhao Hu gave an order, the camp was dismantled, the carriage was repaired, and the fifteen soldiers except for the logistics soldiers, wearing anti-freeze clothes, waved tools and began to take turns to clear the snow, and the convoy was also pulled by the war horses with leg covers, and began to slowly drive through the snow above the roof.

I don't know if it's God's eyes or what's going on, after Zhao Hu and his party walked at the speed of waiting for synchronization for ten days, they actually let them see a herding flag bag that was buried by heavy snow and only the top of the tent was exposed.

"Haha, this guy must have come out to play, and he didn't notice that he was trapped here on Blizzard Day, hehe, I just don't know if he ran out of food? It's been almost twenty days since Blizzard, and even if you don't starve to death, you're freezing to death, right? Sun Jie gloated with a look of schadenfreude.

Zhou Wen slapped Sun Jie's head hard: "Stupid! What's fun? This is the flag bag that we have finally encountered these days, and we have to hope that the people inside have not hung up, otherwise how can we know if we have gone the wrong way now! ”

"Huh? So how important is the flag bag? Sun Jie immediately jumped up and shouted: "Locke, Luo Fei, follow me to excavate!" With that, he jumped into the carriage.

After some busyness, the flag bag was finally dug up.

Sun Jie, who was the first to enter, was very surprised to find that there were three people inside, two strong men, and a thin guy, all of whom were purple and blue, and some of them were weak.

Two of the strong men were wrapped in blankets and hugged each other to keep warm, while the thin guy was huddled to the side.

Looking at the empty flag bag, and the pile of ashes in front of them, and the snow-white horse bones that were gnawed, and then looking at their shivering appearance, I couldn't help but smile: "Hey, we arrived in time." ”

Locke and Luo Fei didn't have so many words, they just picked them up and turned around and left. After pouring a bowl of greasy and piping hot mutton soup, the three of them immediately regained their spirits.

The two strong men who originally wanted to thank Zhao Hu saw Zhao Hu's appearance, especially the ring on Zhao Hu's finger, their faces changed and they touched their arms, but they were immediately stopped by Luo and Luo Fei on the side.

The other young man, who was more weak, shrank aside very weakly and did not dare to move.

Sun Jie smiled and Mimi took out a knife and a sheepskin roll from the arms of the two, opened the sheepskin roll and looked at it, Sun Jie was immediately happy: "My lord, look, they actually want you, wow, it's actually a reward for 100,000 horses." ”

Hearing this, the thin guy glanced at Zhao Hu curiously.

Zhao Hu took a look, sure enough, the sheepskin depicted his own face, this painter is still full of hands, the painting is very similar, I just don't know if this painter has seen himself, if he paints it based on other people's descriptions alone, it is really powerful.

"Okay, you two are either horse thieves or shepherd flag chasers, I'll deal with you later.

"You, what about you, why are you so cowardly, what's your name? What for? Sun Jie acted as an interrogator and yelled at the young man.

The young man hesitated for a moment, then said in an ant voice, "My name is Liu Bin, and I am a scholar. ”

Sun Jie, who came to listen, frowned and said, "How can you be the same as a girl?" Say it louder! But as soon as the vicious appearance came out, he was pulled aside by Zhou Wen's ears.

"My name is Liu Bin, and I'm a scholar." The young man finally spoke so that everyone could hear him.
