Chapter 308: Frozen Cloud Song and Frost

The snow in Yunge Mansion is different from the snow in other places, the snow in other places is like catkins, but the snow here is really like sprinkling salt, and it is a lot of salt sprinkled by Tiangong.

There is snow, and there is wind, and this wind is not gentle at all, like a sword, blowing on people, it is really like a knife cut.

Under the wind and snow, no one could move, everyone was in the cellar below the house, waiting for the wind and snow to pass.

Lin Duowen originally thought that he was a person who had experienced the cold, but in this kind of weather, he didn't dare to leave the house half a step, he sat on the kang unique to Beisi Mansion, living a heavy quilt to resist the cold.

As for the eldest prince who has lived in Nandu since he was a child, under this snow, he is really sick and lying in bed, but even if he is not sick, the eldest prince does not want to go down to the kang.

It had been snowing for three days, and after the snow stopped, it was cloudy and then it snowed again.

Such bad weather made some people in Ganlu City a little surprised, they had never experienced such cold from big to small, and at this time, it was not really cold.

They didn't dare to imagine how cold it would be in the first month of the winter month.

Qian Du also told Lin Duowen the news, and after Lin Duowen heard it, he just said Ruixue Zhaofeng Nian.

Qian Du nodded, saying that they now have a house and food here, and they are not worried at all, while the army of Zuo Xian Wang who is wandering in the grassland is only afraid that it will be sad.

Lin Duowen nodded, hoping that there would be more days like this, the better.

However, on the second day of the winter month, Lin Duowen had some regrets, Chen Qiuzhun told Lin Duowen that on such a cold day, some of the poor people in Ganlu City could not bear it, they had firewood every day, but the people in Ganlu City did not have that much firewood, and they did not have a coat to avoid the cold.

Lin Duowen asked if firewood could help these people, and Chen Qiuzhun said that the imperial army now needs a lot, and it is difficult to say whether it can support it this winter.

Lin Duowen asked about the winter clothes? Chen Qiuzhun said that there is still a lot of this, Lin Duowen said that when the weather is better, he will distribute winter clothes and let these people go to get them, and when the weather warms up, they will return it, and if there is any damage, they will naturally use the compensation to compensate.

But Lin Duowen also confessed, and he couldn't be cut down because of this, so that this act of saving the people would become a move to harm the people.

Chen Qiuzhun said that now there is nothing to do anyway, it is better to let people make winter clothes, and now there is enough cloth in the warehouse of the yamen, and when the weather is too cold and the firewood is not enough, he is using these winter clothes to avoid the cold.

Lin Duowen said yes and asked Chen Qiuzhun to go and do this.

This news naturally aroused the support of the people of Ganlu City, and they all called Lin Duowen Lord Qingtian, and King Youxian also knew about it, and said to his scribe: "Hmph, it's just to buy people's hearts, and the Yu Dynasty likes to use this kind of small favor to make the people grateful." ”

At this time, a scribe said to the right king, "My lord, but what these little people are asking for is this little favor." ”

King Youxian was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer.

On the fourth day of the winter month, the envoys from all over the country came back one after another, and they told Lin Duowen that these tribes had some difficulties this year, and the sudden arrival of severe cold disrupted their plans. Many tribes are not ready, and now they have begun to move to the royal court one after another, hoping to survive this severe cold under the protection of the royal court.

Hearing the news, Lin Duowen said happily: "It's really heaven to help the saint, heaven to help the saint, the group of rebels of King Zuo Xian will eventually be destroyed in the hands of heaven." ”

Qian Du and Chen Qiuzhun looked at each other, they didn't know what to say, some time ago, they tried their best to think about how to annihilate King Zuoxian, but they didn't expect that it would be better for God to come to such a show.

They believed that King Zuo Xian was prepared, but King Zuo Xian definitely did not expect this situation, so when the weather warmed up, King Zuo Xian's army was afraid that there would be no one in ten, and it was even possible that this group of troops would die in the severe cold.

On the fifth day of the new year, it began to snow heavily, this time like rain, and by the time it got dark, there was already a deep layer of ground in the ground.

On such days, there was a problem for the army of the Yu Dynasty, they could only stay in the room, they couldn't do anything, they couldn't drink, they couldn't play dice, Lin Duowen they could still read books for fun, they were indeed very bored.

So Shang Tianliang told Lin Duowen about this, and Lin Duowen asked how many Pingkang there were here, and after the prefect heard it, he was also embarrassed, because although there are many girls' schools in this city, after all, this is an army of 50,000 people, more than 500 people.

And there is another point, when the Yu Dynasty is fighting, these are strictly prohibited.

Usually they can also train to pass the time, how to pass the time in such weather.

Shang Tianliang heard what the prefect said and told Lin Duowen that if he didn't find something to do for these sergeants, they would definitely make a mess at that time.

Lin Duowen thought about it and asked Shang Tianliang if he didn't talk about storytelling before, why don't he go and talk about storytelling.

It's good for Shang Tianliang to think about it, so he went to the city to say a storyteller, this Ganlu City doesn't say much about storytelling, but it can be regarded as better than nothing.

In addition, Lin Duowen also told them that there would be no action before the beginning of spring, so they could relax first, but they were not allowed to mess with military discipline, otherwise they would be dealt with by military law.

However, as soon as this order was opened, many people couldn't control themselves, and Lin Duowen was not polite, and asked Qian Du to deal with it in strict accordance with military law, so that after a few days, these people could be regarded as honest.

Lin Duowen thought that he had known this, and he didn't need so many cavalry, and now that these people were trapped in the city, he was also sad.

Chen Qiuzhun also wanted to advise Lin Duowen to maintain military discipline, but in this situation, if these soldiers were still strictly restrained, there would really be a mutiny, so he could only sigh, hoping that these soldiers would be able to return to their original appearance after returning to various places.

The Yu Dynasty attached great importance to military discipline, that is, it felt that the soldiers of the previous dynasties were not strictly restrained, it was not possible to fight, and the scourge was a good hand, so it strictly restrained military discipline and maintained the combat effectiveness of the army.

This is also the reason why there were many victories and few defeats during the hundred years of the Yu Dynasty.

On the fifteenth day of the winter month, the imperial court sent another batch of materials to Ganlu City, including wine, which was the will of Concubine Ping, and the four saints told the saint the news of this year's unusually cold in late October, and the saint also noticed that this was an opportunity, but Concubine Ping thought of the situation of the soldiers in the city.

When Concubine Ping proposed to send wine, the saint was a little puzzled, Concubine Ping told the soldiers of the Northern Four Mansions that they all drank strong wine to keep warm, they would not drink and make mistakes, but would become more and more courageous, and Lin Duowen did not drink, which could be restrained, and would not lead to the drunkenness of the army.

Therefore, the wine was transported from Huanglong City to Ganlu City, and after a small group of soldiers were allocated a jar of wine, they all shouted Long live it.

With wine, the soldiers became more honest, and they began to make fists, and when they had drunk, they began to fight with each other with the strength of the wine, and when they were tired, they went to sleep.

The city of Manna is back to its former peace, as always.

On the twentieth, someone from Ganlu City arrived, this is a tribal messenger, he came to tell Lin Duowen that their tribe had seen Zuo Xianwang's troops more than ten days ago, hoping that Lin Duowen could send troops to attack Lin Duowen.

Lin Duowen looked at Qian Du and Chen Qiuzhun, Chen Qiuzhun and Qian Du agreed that they would not send troops, this weather, Di people are much more familiar than Yu Jun, if there is a wind and snow at that time, Yu Jun will even have a problem fighting, and now that God is so helpful, they naturally don't have to worry about these things.

When the messenger heard this, he said that the heavy snow had little effect on King Zuoxian's troops, and that all of Zuoxian's troops were wearing cashmere coats and were not afraid of the cold.

"Really? So will his mount be able to withstand it? ”

Chen Qiuzhun didn't believe this, he was also wearing a cashmere coat now, if he was allowed to go outside, he would definitely not want to.

When the messenger saw that they did not believe it, he said to them, "General, you told you the news that we had discovered King Zuoxian, and now that we have told you, and you don't believe it, I would not have braved the cold to come to you if I had known that you were like this." ”

Lin Duowen apologized to this envoy, saying that they didn't mean to look down on them, but because of this weather, it was really difficult for the Yu army to fight, and their kindness was naturally understood by themselves. So Lin Duowen sent three coats, one for the messenger and the other two for the tribal chief.

Lin Duowen warmly entertained the envoy, and after the envoy left, Qian Du said to Lin Duowen: "This Zuoxian King seems to be seriously damaged, so he can't wait to fight with us, but now I have some worries, if he really arrives at the royal court, will we fight." ”

Lin Duo was stunned when he heard this, Chen Qiuzhun said that he had to go to war at that time, the soldiers of the imperial court did not come to enjoy the blessings, and now the imperial court raised them, and on that day, it was the time for them to serve their death, if they thought that the weather was cold and they could not fight, then it was better to leave here directly and come back after the beginning of spring.

Lin Duowen nodded, and asked Shang Tianliang to pass on the news, telling the soldiers that maybe soon, they would have to fight with King Zuoxian's army, and then they would have to give up the warm room they had now and march in the ice and snow.

The sergeants had no opinion, and they also came out to practice when it was not snowing.

Looking at the way they practiced, Lin Duowen didn't have to breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that these soldiers still had room for a war.

Seeing this, King Youxian smiled and said to the people around him: "The sharpness of the soldiers of the Yu Dynasty has been worn out, and King Zuoxian's army is already accustomed to the cold winter when they march in the cold winter, and these people are roasting all day long, and when there is no firewood, how can they adapt." ”
