A large, sparkling snowflake fluttered into Hao Shaoqi's neckline. He couldn't help but shudder and pause. One of the soldiers who followed him walked with his head down, but he bumped into his sturdy back, and he was unsteady on his feet, and sat down on his ass on the snow.

"Holy shit, no eyes!" Hao Shaoqi glared back, making the soldier tremble for a while.

"Don't yell, it's scary." Yang Zhaofeng walked up from behind, picked up the fallen soldier, patted the snow off his trouser leg, and told him to go first.

"Didn't I remind him!" Hao Shaoqi said aggrievedly that he was born with a loud voice, and it is common for him to scare people.

Yang Zhaofeng grinned, looked forward, and said, "Dingjun Mountain is not far away." ”

Hao Shaoqi said with white eyes: "It's not far, and you have to walk for a long time." "They were assigned by Zhao Dangshi to send the city to Dingjun Mountain, not far away, because of the knee-deep snow, they had walked for most of the day, but they had only walked halfway.

"Hey, Dingjun Mountain." Yang Zhaofeng muttered in his mouth, and suddenly looked at Hao Shaoqi slyly.

Hao Shaoqi also glanced back at him and said, "You kid, don't say it, squeeze me in your stomach?" As he spoke, a slap was not heavy or patted on the back of Yang Zhaofeng's head, "Although I don't know a single big word, the story of Dingjun Mountain is also calloused." ”

Yang Zhaofeng rubbed his head and said with a smile: "How dare the little brother." ”

Hao Shaoqi strode twice, suddenly stopped, looked back at Yang Zhaofeng, and sighed: "Fengzi, you said that you are so dignified, why did you abandon martial arts and follow literature?" I think that with your ability, you are much more powerful than the open teeth of the Ma military camp surnamed Meng and the horse face surnamed Lian......"

Yang Zhaofeng smiled and said: "Mr. Qian has not heard of 'everyone has their own ambitions'? Besides, the younger brother was originally born in literature, and his congenital conditions are not as good as a tough guy like Mr. Qian. It's really a last resort to ask for a life right away, and now it's the right place to go from the text. ”

Hao Shaoqi shook his head and said: "No, no, I look at your kid's eyes, even if it is a reading material, there is no life for reading." I think that one day, the envoy will still transfer you back to the military position. ”

Yang Zhaofeng said seriously: "If there is a need in the camp, then I will go to the soup and fight the fire, and I will not give up." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Hao Shaoqi's mouth raised slightly, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and continued walking. Yang Zhaofeng followed behind, and through the sound of wind and snow, he vaguely heard Hao Shaoqi sigh a few times, and said something "pity" in his mouth.

The army led by Hao Shaoqi endured the invasion of the cold, and without saying a word all the way, it was almost evening and sneaked to the designated place.

This is a high ground at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, and a sunken flat land in the middle is just right for rest. To the northeast, there are endless snow-white plains, and to the west, there are layers of hidden green pine forests and mountains.

The soldiers silently cleared the snow and tried to carve out a temporary camp in the reckless snowy forest. Hao Shaoqi was sitting on a round stone to rest, and the former boss stepped on the thick snow of the chief Song Sima, "Squeak, Squeak" step by step, and slowly came to Hao Shaoqi.

Hao Shaoqi glanced at him: "What are you doing?" ”

Song Sima asked Hao Shaoqi and said, "Mr. Qian, when will we act." ”

Yang Zhaofeng walked over and said, "If you don't have a military order, just stand by on the spot." ”

Song Sima has a lot of wrinkles on his face, so the slightest psychological change will cause a change in his expression, and at the moment he has several wrinkles all piled up together, all of them, like an old man: "Mr. Qian, let's come here from the right camp, in order to travel lightly, each person only carries three days of dry food in his pocket." And it was a strong wind and a heavy snowfall, and the brothers could not afford to delay. I'm afraid that if we delay too long, the brethren will blow up. ”

Hao Shaoqi was immediately angry, his bull's eyes glared, and he bared his teeth and shouted: "Who dares to blow up?" Let him come and blow it up in front of Lao Tzu. Saying that, he scolded, "His grandmother's, no one is allowed to move a step without Lao Tzu's military order." Just, and give Lao Tzu a crotch! ”

Song Sima knew the temperament of his boss, how could he dare to brush the tiger's beard at this time, he knew that Yang Zhaofeng could speak in front of Hao Shaoqi, so he turned his gaze to Yang Zhaofeng aggrievedly.

Yang Zhaofeng rarely made a straight face, and said solemnly: "Mr. Song, this is the order of the envoy." This operation is very important, and there is no room for mistakes, in the past three days, you and Cui must always suppress the soldiers, and there must be no accidents. ”

There are two generals in the right battalion, Song Sima in the front and Cui Shuqiang in the back.

Generally speaking, none of the counselors in the battalions really paid attention to any of the generals, at most they were just hindering Zhao Dangshi's polite temper and being polite. But this Yang Zhaofeng is different, it is a real sword and a real gun who fought for his life on the horse, and the exploits are obvious to everyone. Because of the death of his brother, he was taken care of by Zhao Dangshi, so in this right camp, Yang Zhaofeng's status is real, second only to Hao Shaoqi.

The two leading figures in the camp said this, and Song Sima didn't say much, replied "obey the order", and went down. The usual battle plan, before going out, will at least be ordered by the generals and generals, but this time, before leaving, Hao Shaoqi did not reveal half a word, only said that it was an extremely critical action, coupled with the firm performance of Hao and Yang at this time, Song Sima swallowed his mouth, knowing that it was extraordinary, and secretly nervous in his heart.

The extremely tall rear boss commanded the camp on the other side, and when he saw Song Sima coming over with his head drooping, he approached him and asked, "What did President Qian say over there?" ”

Song Sima smiled bitterly and repeated what he had just heard. Cui Shuqiang was very anxious, and immediately became a little dissatisfied: "What kind of broken plan, mysterious and secretive, even we can't inform it?" ”

"I don't know." Song Sima shook his head, helpless.

"A dog ......" Cui Shuqiang was just about to scold, but suddenly remembered that he was going to scold Zhao Dangshi, hurriedly braked, "Bah" a few times, pursed his lips and left.

The whole army worked overtime, and finally set up a simple camp before dark.

During the meal, Cui Shuqiang complained to Song Sima: "I finally got here, but President Qian and the counselor did not move, I really don't know what medicine they sell in their gourds." As he spoke, he bit into the vegetable naan in his hand and scolded, "Damn, just for a while, this naan has been frozen so much that it almost broke Lao Tzu's teeth!" ”

Song Sima looked up to make sure that Hao Shaoqi was not on the side, and said in a low voice: "You don't have to say a few words, you don't know Mr. Qian's temper, if you want to be heard by him, you have to endure hardships." ”

Cui Shuqiang didn't care, threw the remaining naan into his big mouth, and said vaguely while chewing: "What are you afraid of, the big board last time Lao Tzu has come over, afraid of how many whips he will whip?" ”

"Alas!" Song Sima looked at Cui Shuqiang's helpless appearance that day when he was not afraid of the ground, "You don't have to raise the bar with Mr. Qian." I know you're dissatisfied, but Mr. Qian, he's just doing what he's told. ”

Cui Shuqiang was silent when he heard this, and then scolded in a low voice, who was scolded, what was scolded, Song Sima didn't hear a word clearly. He looked at the snowflakes that were constantly flying in front of him, and the white and vast world, and sighed involuntarily.

After a day, there was no movement on Hao Shaoqi's side. Song Sima and Cui Shuqiang barely resisted their impulses, trying to maintain military discipline, they didn't know what their gang was doing in this cold and snowy place aimlessly. Once people don't have a goal, they are easy to be anxious, Song and Cui are also old people in Zhao Ying, and they still have this patience and consciousness, so they didn't say anything, and tried their best to persuade themselves to act tomorrow.

On the second day, Hao Shaoqi and Yang Zhaofeng were still calm. At this time, although Zhao Ying's ability to keep warm was in place, the cold wind in the foothills was too strong, and the camp was too simple, and the endless cold still invaded the body of every soldier. Many of them are starting to have cracked and red cheeks, and some are even tingling in their legs and feet. Cui Shuqiang couldn't help it, he didn't know what the purpose of staying here was to be frozen, and he didn't know where he was going next, so he broke free from Song Sima and went straight to ask Hao Shaoqi.

Hao Shaoqi only replied to him lightly: "Wait." ”

"What are you waiting for?" This is not the answer Cui Shuqiang wanted to hear at all, he cried and mourned, forgot about his superiority and humility under emotion, and asked loudly.

Unexpectedly, Hao Shaoqi did not become as angry as before, but pursed his lips with a gloomy face. It can be seen that he is actually a little anxious. Yang Zhaofeng came up at this time and said: "Cui Jiang is always at ease, in these two days, there will be action." ”

Cui Shuqiang touched a soft nail, and he couldn't continue to ask questions without knowing how to lift it. Suspicious, he pulled his hands into his sleeves and walked back sullenly. He only glanced at Song Sima, didn't say anything, and sat down on the stone. Song Sima didn't ask him about the situation, because when he saw Cui Shuqiang's expression, he had already guessed the answer given by Hao Shaoqi.

Cui Shuqiang left, and Hao Shaoqi couldn't help but say, "Why haven't people come yet?" Could it be ......?"

Yang Zhaofeng shook his head again and again and said: "No, this is an action set by the two envoys and the two joining the army, and there will be no mistakes." ”

Hao Shaoqi said with a bitter face: "I'm not questioning them, but thinking about that person, is it useful or not?" ”

Yang Zhaofeng smiled, with a little tiredness in his smile: "This is also something that can't be helped." If you want to break the current disadvantage, how can you do it without risk? Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly flashed, "You want to think about it." The front battalion was broken, and the left battalion surrendered to the enemy, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for my right battalion to perform. As long as this operation is completed, our right battalion will not raise its eyebrows in front of the capital envoys? ”

Hao Shaoqi listened to his encouragement, and his spirit was sharply lifted. For a long time, he has been valued by several thousand generals, and it can be said that in addition to Wang Laixing, who is in charge of logistics, it is his turn to shake the flag. Although he knew that his level and resources in his hands were inferior to Hou Dagui, Xu Hui and others, he was a good man, and he was unwilling to be subordinate to others forever and became a second-class tail sweeper in the army. So to have this opportunity to improve the status of the right camp in Zhao Dangshi's heart, of course he is very happy.

"I just hope this time, don't let Lao Tzu pounce on the air and be aggrieved in vain for the past few days." Hao Shaoqi's eyes flickered, looking at the distant mountains.

By the third day, the army's rations were running out, and under the ravages of hunger and cold, many soldiers could not bear it, or had high fever, or diarrhea and headaches, and even a few were already delirious and hallucinating. This time, it was not the turn of Cui Shuqiang, who was anxious, and Song Sima, who was old and careful, couldn't stand it, so he went to see Hao Shaoqi and informed the bad form in the current army: "The army food will be exhausted, and the soldiers will be destroyed by the wind and snow, if it goes on like this, the morale of the army will be strained!" "Dingjun Mountain is relatively high, and the temperature here is undoubtedly lower than that in the plains, and the environment is also harsher.

Hao Shaoqi struggled to control his emotions and asked in a deep voice, "How much military rations are left?" ”

Song Sima's face was full of anxiety, and he said truthfully: "At most, it will last until noon tomorrow." ”

"Then continue to wait for orders." Yang Zhaofeng was very vigilant beside him, and when he saw Hao Shaoqi hesitate for a moment, he knew that Hao Shaoqi's position on the outside, which was soft on the outside, had actually begun to waver. So without waiting for him to speak, he preemptively spoke.

And Hao Shaoqi, who was hesitating, heard him say this, and he also hardened his heart and said, "Wait." ”

Song Sima didn't want to retreat this time, and wanted to speak again, but Yang Zhaofeng was unusual, and lowered his voice and said: "Why, Song Jiang always wants to break the law by himself, and learn from He Shihui and Liu Weiming?" ”

What will happen to He Shi and Liu Weiming, Song Sima and others can see it, this is a negative teaching material that is often turned out and preached in the army, he has a "good future", how can he deliberately emulate them. Yang Zhaofeng's words were extremely threatening, and when this sentence first came out, even Yang Zhaofeng himself was a little surprised. Hao Shaoqi glanced at him, and seemed to be a little surprised by his words.

Song Sima was a little confused, what he wanted to say was all based on objective facts, and it was all for the sake of the right camp, but if it affected his future because of this, he was unwilling. It was not himself who was behind the blame, he weighed it, but decided to protect his own interests and retreated.

Hao Shaoqi looked at Song Sima and went down, and said to Yang Zhaofeng in disbelief: "Fengzi, I can't see it, I am majestic now." ”

To be honest, Yang Zhaofeng was reluctant to maintain restraint over the generals in such a rough way, he didn't know why he would say such things that were very different from his previous self, but he suddenly remembered in his mind that since Yang Chengfu's death, people often joked that he seemed to be a lot older. At first, he only thought it was a joke, but it was only now that he deeply felt that these words were true.

The growth of people is not achieved overnight, but slowly breeds and consolidates in the subtle way. Yang Zhaofeng gradually broke the original youth and shyness in the repeated attempts, and after tasting the sweetness because of this, he continued to deepen his exploration in this area. This point slowly converges bit by bit, from quantitative change to qualitative change, and people will clearly feel the thickness of the word "growth".

It's just that he doesn't think about it so much at the moment, but Han Han smiled at Hao Shaoqi, and then said in a straight voice: "Mr. Qian, it is also a helpless move for the younger brother to make this decision. No matter what, the junior brother only knows that this is the opportunity for our right camp, and it may also be the only chance for our Zhao camp. ”

Hao Shaoqi listened, his expression was complicated, and he didn't speak in the end, but nodded to him with a solemn face.

On the fourth day, after lunch, the whole army ran out of food, but no news came, and rumors began to slowly appear in the army, and the morale of the army began to fluctuate. Song Sima and Cui Shuqiang had black faces, constantly suppressing the commotion soldiers, and even did not hesitate to kill two thorns who wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble to set an example. The two of them kept urging Hao Shaoqi to make the decision to withdraw from the army, but Hao Shaoqi did not act under Yang Zhaofeng's strong dissuasion. After working hard for a long time, near the evening, Hao Shaoqi suddenly gathered Yang Zhaofeng, Song Sima, Cui Shuqiang and other generals above 100 generals.

As the generals gathered and dispersed, the mobilization order soon spread throughout the army, and all the soldiers made fires to make food, swept away the surplus food left at the bottom, smashed all the pots and bowls according to the order, and demolished the camp, bringing only weapons and ready to go. Yang Zhaofeng looked at the scene like a decisive battle in front of him, and four words suddenly appeared in his mind.

By the time all this was done, it was already night. In the misty night, the wind howled in Dingjun Mountain, and soon a snowstorm began to fall. Two thousand soldiers braved the wind and snow, and slowly touched the mountain with Hao Shaoqi. On such a blizzard night, every step is extremely difficult, and after only a short while, everyone's whole body is covered with snow, almost merging with the long snow.

Hao Shaoqi's brow, eyelashes, and black hair were covered with snowflakes. He didn't dare to breathe hard, because with each breath, the piercing chill that rushed into the bridge of his nose and throat was enough to suffocate people. But fortunately, this time they attacked, and the battalion raised a batch of the best fat jackets and leather clothes for them to keep out the cold, so that even if the environment was already bad, no one was left behind by the team.

The knife-like cold wind swept across Hao Shaoqi's resolute face, and he barely raised his head and looked in the northwest direction, his heart was full of fighting spirit like fire.
