Chapter 1: Ice Chisel

This is the territory of Fengyi in Huazhou on the west bank of the river, in the early morning, the winter fog is filled, although the earth is covered by clouds and fog, and the wide Yellow River is also completely covered, and nothing can be seen.

Suddenly, there was a sharp bang, and the sound spread for miles, and countless figures came out of the thick fog, shouting loudly, and rushed all the way to the riverbank.

All of them were dressed in leather armor and uniforms, very neat, and they were obviously soldiers of the Western Dynasty. The strange thing is that what he is holding in his hands is neither a bow and arrow, nor a spear and steel knife, and half of them carry a hammer in their hands, the hammer is of different lengths, and the system is messy, and some are afraid that it is not the guy who rammed the earth to make the stove. Occasionally, a few tall and armed, without holding a hammer, lifted a long, half-thick wooden stick that was almost as tall as a few people.

When they arrived at the riverbank, they didn't need to be commanded by the generals, and they didn't line up in battle formations, and the big guys picked a place at random, each raised an ironwood hammer in his hand, and smashed it indiscriminately towards the frozen river. With a click, the ice cracked here and there, turning into fragments of different shapes and sizes. At this time--- long half-thick sticks came in handy they reached out from afar, poked the broken ice one by one, and saw the living water under the surface of the river gushing up, rolling the broken ice down the river.

The weather was so cold that some people couldn't help but throw down their hammers, raise their collars, rub their hands together, and stomp their feet hard. Someone shoved him from behind and shouted, "I'm lazy again!" Quickly pick up the hammer and knock on the ice! Don't you see? Pei Yuanjun has arrived in person! ”

Not far away, there was a cavalry galloping in, with clear banners, it was Pei Guo who led the team to Huazhou Thorn Shi Pei Guo in the Western Dynasty, along the big river, all the way to patrol.

The first in the cavalry team is the majestic general of Zhengdong and the champion county prince Pei Guo Pei Xiaokuan, who is still covered with thick armor and a thin green coat, and the crotch riding is still a yellow horse of a divine horse. It's just that this yellow horse is not the same yellow horse--- the horse that accompanied him across thousands of mountains and rivers is finally dying, and he is no longer overwhelmed, and he has been raised in the house, the so-called "raising the sky". Pei Guo missed the old days, so he tried his best to find another good horse with Huang Cong, so he could put some old thoughts on it.

Pei Guo jumped off the horse, first nodded to the soldiers who were in full swing, and then approached the shore and poked the penny into the river a few times. It was just a slight force, and in the pop sound, a few ice holes were immediately poked out of the ice surface.

Pei Guo nodded, and said to himself: "The drought in Guanzhong this year is a great misfortune, but in winter, the weather is still warm, and it has become a good thing for this ice and river." Nai coughed lightly, and said to the generals around him: "In winter, the river is frozen, and it is impossible to cross it by boat, and I am most afraid that the easterners will come by riding on the ice." Now, although the ice is not thick, most of the iron riders cannot set foot on it, but we must always be vigilant, diligently dig ice and break the river, and do not have a trace of carelessness. ”

The generals responded with a bang.

The ice and river were still in full swing, Pei Guo was very satisfied, and turned around at the moment.

Around noon, the sun grew heavier and the fog thinned. The big guys were already weak, and they sat down on the ground one by one to rest, and when they were in a daze, suddenly there were some voices and horses' hooves floating on the other side of the river. In fact, it is not very clear, but it scared the soldiers of the Western Dynasty a lot, and someone jumped up and shouted: "It's not good! The Easterners are here! ”

So a whole river bank of the western soldiers jumped up and desperately went to dig the river and stab the ice, making a fuss. After being busy for a while, everyone was out of breath, but fortunately, no Eastern Army came out of the fog.

Soon the fog finally dissipated, the big guy was frightened, and when he looked across the river, there were indeed Eastern Wei soldiers present. It's just that when I look closely, it turns out that there are only a dozen Eastern Wei soldiers in Hedong, and they are not on the horse at this time, and they are actually roasting around a bonfire.

The West Bank soldiers were dumbfounded. The people of the Eastern Wei Dynasty on the other side of the river laughed at this head, and the mockery was overflowing.

At this time, it was the end of the second year of the Great Unification, and nearly two years had passed since the Yuan Bao Torch ascended the throne of the Western Wei Dynasty.

。。。。。。

Let's say that after the Great Wei was divided into two parts, now the north is the world, the Eastern Wei or Gao Huan is eight out of ten, and the six towns are all under the account. Compared with the Western Dynasty, it seems to be a small thing, regardless of population, land, money and grain, taxes, soldiers and horses... All are disparities in strength.

In the past two years, Gao Huan has not been idle, and has basically wiped out the remaining opposition forces in the country, and at the same time has not forgotten to deal with the Western Dynasty.

As early as the first month of the first year of the Great Unification, Gao Huan sent Dou Tai, who had been reappointed as the assassin of Luozhou and the Daxingtai of the Western Road, to attack Tongguan, but the sky was difficult to overcome, so he retreated in vain.

In February of that year, Sima Ziru offered a plan, Dou Tai led his troops to the east of the river, took advantage of the freezing of the river, crossed the Yellow River from Puhanjin to the west overnight, and had to set foot on the west bank of Huazhou, and advanced all the way, and even climbed the head of Feng Yicheng for a time.

Thanks to Pei Guo, the assassin of Huazhou in the Western Wei Dynasty, he rushed to the city and personally led his soldiers to the city and fought for his life, so he drove the Eastern Wei soldiers out of the city. Dou Taiqi failed to attack, but he was afraid that the way back would be lost, so he led his troops to plunder everywhere and retreated westward.

At the beginning of the second year of the Great Unification, the Yellow River was frozen again, and Gao Huan personally led 10,000 horsemen to cross the ice to the west, and ran all the way to Xiazhou.

The Eastern Wei Dynasty iron cavalry was fierce, the soldiers of Erxia Prefecture were outnumbered, and the assassin Shi Yu did not dare to resist, so he simply plundered all the materials in the city, abandoned Yanlvcheng (now Jingbian County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province), and retreated to Dongxia Prefecture.

Erxia Prefecture is sparsely populated, and it is difficult to supply grass and grain in winter. He didn't dare to go south alone, so after showing off his might, he returned east to the east of the river. After that, although Yu Jin regained the rock green, many tribes in the northwest were already ready to move, and they secretly lost their sincerity to Gao Huan, which caused Yuwentai a headache.

After these two battles, the West was greatly shocked. So every year on the winter solstice, but the Yellow River is frozen, and the westerners all have to dig ice to break the river, lest the Eastern Wei Dynasty iron ride on the ice. This move has long become a joke in the eyes of the Easterners.

At the beginning, Yuwentai also swore to Pei Guo that he wanted to cross the river east to occupy the land east of the river, but two years have passed, and now the Western Dynasty is in a difficult situation.
