Chapter Eighty-Nine: Going North to Destroy the Husband (5): Ice and Snow Build the City
solved the 20,000 Fuyu cavalry that went south, and then, Lu Bu naturally wanted to lead the army to the north, destroy the Fuyu country, and solve the troubles.
In the future, when the time is right, when Lu Bu leads the army westward to compete for Yuan Shao's territory, it will not be due to the tiger eyeing the rest of the country by the side, which will make Lu Bu's rear unstable and lead to the abandonment of all previous achievements!
This is not what Lu Bu wants to see!
Besides, Lu Bu also wanted the territory and population of Fuyu Kingdom to strengthen his own power.
It's just that now is the season of snowflakes, the weather is cold, the northern expedition is far away, and the grain and straw that the army and war horses need every day is a problem!
What's more, the army, including the grain transport soldiers, needs to rest because of the day's journey, and there may not even be a place to sleep along the way, like the camp tents they use on weekdays do not play a role at all in this kind of weather, if there is no place to rest from the cold and snow, when they wake up, no, many may not wake up at all, and they are frozen to death by the bitter cold night.
What's more, the grain transporters also need to guard against the attack of the Fuyu cavalry who come and go without a trace, so as not to be destroyed by them, and the army of the Northern Expedition will have no food supply at that time, so what kind of battle will they fight?
How can this work?
Therefore, it is urgent to solve the problem of transporting grain in the northern expedition and the problem of keeping warm at night when the weather is cold and freezing!
Gao Xiancheng, among the county officials.
Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Zang Ba, Hao Zhao and others were frowning, thinking of a solution.
Their northern expedition was not like the 20,000 cavalry that went south from Fuyu, who came to plunder and went back, and they rode their horses to the south at a very fast speed, as long as each person brought some rations.
Therefore, they don't have to worry about transporting food and keeping out the cold!
And when Lu Bu and them conquered the rest of the country in the north, it was different, not only cavalry, but also ordinary infantry, as well as a large number of strategic materials to attack the city and plunder the land.
Lu Bu and they thought and thought, and at this moment, Lu Bu's eyes lit up.
Because, Lu Bu thought of a way.
"Ice and Snow Build a City!" Lu Bu, who thought of a way, couldn't help but shout excitedly.
Lu Bu remembered a literary masterpiece "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that he had read in the 21st century, and remembered that it was mentioned in it.
When the army led by Cao Cao fought with the army led by Ma Chao in Weishui, because Ma Chao and they intercepted Weishui, Cao Cao tried his best, and Ma Chao and they would come over from time to time to block it, so that Cao Cao and they could not afford to set up a camp at all, which made Cao Cao worried.
In this way, without the protection of the camp, the weather is extremely cold, and under the front of Ma Chao's soldiers, they will be defeated!
Fortunately, the road of heaven is endless, and the hermits who passed by all the way dedicated Cao Cao a clever plan.
At that time, it was freezing cold, the snow was falling, and the wind was howling, and the hermit told Cao Cao to splash the sand with boiling snow and ice on the sand.
In such cold weather, the boiling water is evenly poured on the sand, and due to the influence of the weather, the boiling water will soon be re-frozen, including freezing the sand inside, so that it can be formed.
In this way, it will not be long before a city of ice and snow is miraculously built.
When Ma Chao learned the news, he immediately led the army to watch, and was shocked, thinking that Cao Cao had the help of gods.
The ancients were very fearful of the gods, and Cao Jun built an ice and snow city so quickly, which hit Ma Chao's morale hard.
In the county office, Lu Bu suddenly shouted, and suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
Ice and snow to build a city? How to build a city with ice and snow?
Suddenly, Chen Gong, Hao Zhao, Zang Ba, Liao Hua and others all looked at Lu Bu with puzzled eyes, waiting for Lu Bu to solve their doubts.
For the doubts of the civil and military under the tent, Lu Bu said what it means to build a city with ice and snow.
The ancients feared the gods, but they hated demons! As soon as a demon appears, it is like a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats it, lest the demon will bring disaster to the world!
Like Cao Cao and Ma Chao at this time, Lu Bu naturally wouldn't tell Chen Gong and Zang Ba about it, it's okay for them to think that they are gods, but if they think they are the reincarnation of demons, they will know that these things have not happened yet, and when the monarch and ministers are separated, it will be worth the loss!
What Lu Bu said to them was only how to use ice and snow to build a city.
Hearing Lu Bu's ice and snow city, all of a sudden, Chen Gong, Zang Ba, Hao Zhao and others were surprised, and they only felt that their lord Lu Bu was too imaginative, but this plan was feasible!
The construction of the city by ice and snow not only solves the long-distance transportation of food and cold protection during the northern expedition to Fuyu, but also prevents the sudden attack of Fuyu's cavalry, and if the Fuyu people know that they have built an ice and snow city in a very short time, it can also hit their morale hard, so that they dare not confront the army of Lu Bu with the help of the gods, and then let them surrender without a fight.
Ice and snow building a city can be described as an indescribable strategy!
"The wisdom of the lord, the palace is not as good as it!" Seeing that Lü Bu, who was originally brave and unscrupulous, was able to come up with such a plan to build a city with ice and snow, coupled with the fact that Lü Bu was in the conquest of Sanhan, Gongsun Du and Goguryeo, and returned to Xuzhou across the sea to deal with the siege of Cao's army with fewer defeats, and then, smoothly plundered the Han population and returned to Wenjun, every strategy used has deeply hit Chen Gong, so that Chen Gong, who has great wisdom, is also impressed.
Even if Lü Bu led the army to fight, without him and Li Ru to give advice, Lü Bu would still be able to deal with many enemies with his own wisdom.
If this is the case, it would be a joke for him, the left army division, and Li Ru, the right army division, because without their military advisors, there would be no place for them!
However, it is their luck to have such a brave and resourceful Lu Bu as their lord.
At the very least, under the leadership of Lu Bu, they can also follow Lu Bu further, until they sweep away the princes of the world and end the war.
"Sir, it doesn't have to be like this, Ben Hou grew up in the north, knows the weather of ice and snow, knows their characteristics, and can come up with such a plan! It's true! Lu Bu saw that Chen Gong looked like he was devastated, and immediately made Lu Bu call it bad, if Chen Gong was so depressed, it would be a huge loss for Lu Bu himself and for Chen Gong, so Lu Bu hurriedly said such a paragraph to comfort Chen Gong.
"Don't worry, the palace is fine." Chen Gong is a person with a tough personality, and in Lu Bu's words, Chen Gong quickly cleaned up his decadence, and then regained his previous self-confidence.
Since this is the case, then he will read more books in the future, feel more about life, and increase his own wisdom, so that he can live up to Lu Bu's attention to him, and then give him high-ranking officials.
Lu Bu saw that Chen Gong had regained his previous self-confidence, which made Lu Bu breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, everyone continued to discuss the affairs of the Northern Expedition to the Yu Kingdom, and after the discussion was completed, Lu Bu immediately ordered Zang Ba, Hao Zhao, Liao Hua, Wang Dali, and Yang Ping to dispatch troops and send generals, and then go north to destroy the Yu Kingdom!
