Early in the morning, when the sky was just dawning, the members of the death row camp and the fifty horsemen of the overseer team all went on the road, the more they went in the direction of Shuozhou, the thicker the snow on the ground, a person who likes to farm, usually likes snow more, Ruixue Zhaofeng year!

However, today's Sun Xiangfu hates snow very much, because the whole team must run, otherwise, plus the work of eating, drinking, Lasa and some road filling circle camps, everyone's time is simply not enough, eighty miles a day is a hard target, this is a military order, and it must not be violated, so Sun Xiangfu, who is sitting on the snow rake, always has to avoid the snow foam kicked back by the horse's hooves.

After galloping in the snow for an hour, the horses that were wheezing heavier and heavier had to stop and rest, Sun Xiangfu asked the guards to distribute the food, without too much effort to cook porridge, just hard dough and some spicy salted fish and bean sauce, everyone ate very energetically, no way, no need to bite hard!

"Take out the wine and pour it for everyone! Don't drink too much. In addition, feed the horses some concentrate, and then you have to rely on them. ”

The wind in the early morning was too cold, even if Sun Xiangfu wore two layers of cotton armor, his eyebrows and eyes exposed outside were also hurt by the cold wind, not to mention those death row inmates who were not so well equipped with him, they would be very uncomfortable if they didn't drink.

A few jars of spirits were opened by Xi Junmai, and he poured a bowl for Sun Xiangfu and himself first, and then took the jars of wine to the guards to share.

"Damn, when I was a ranger in Chang'an, I always envied these people who rode horses and fought wars, but now it seems that I am still at ease as a ranger." Xi Jun bought a lot of wine, poured a big sip, and spat out the wine.

Sun Xiangfu picked up the bowl and took a big sip for the first time, when he was in Chang'an before, he never thought that wine was a good thing, but at this moment, it seems that only cow drinks can be refreshing, a bowl of about three or four taels of spirits down, his whole skin began to heat up.

Touching his forehead, which was a little dizzy, Sun Xiangfu, who was sitting on the rake, was a little melancholy, how cruel the war was now He knows a little more, in his opinion, the wars that broke out in this period in order to compete for survival resources are all stupid behaviors.

Even if you add up how many people are in the whole of Asia? 100 million, or 200 million? Anyway, it's less than a fraction of the future generations, just such a few people, just a little land, can make everyone live well, why fight and kill! This nation has died too many people for this senseless struggle, and it is too unworthy.

However, what is even less worth it is the war that broke out because of personal ambition, and one of their desires, which led to the tragic death of thousands of people, was pure evil.

"The snow is full of the sky, the wind is biting, and the edges and corners of the ice are as sharp as knives.

Take a step forward and go straight to the thief's head and sacrifice his compatriots. ”

Sun Xiangfu leisurely read out this combination of poems that he sent casually, only hoping that the war and such hard days would end as soon as possible, and when he taught everyone to farm well, so that everyone could eat enough and dress warmly, there would not be so many fights.

"Uh, is this the second half of the previous poem?"

Seeing Sun Xiangfu suddenly reciting a poem, Tang Fengyi came over again, he had a bowl full of spirits in his hand without any accident, people with brains are better than those stupid people will come to trouble, just because he made up more to Sun Xiangfu, and now the guards have begun to call him Mr. Tang.

"Hey, reciting poetry depends on the mood, that cares so much, if you think it is, then it is!" Sun Xiangfu said disapprerovitically.

"How can you not care about your literary name, this thing is very useful in the circle of scholars." Tang Fengyi took a sip of wine beautifully, and seemed to persuade bitterly.

"The name of the text? How many poems do you recite to become famous? ”

"Of course, poetry is a kind of display of the literati's style, and if the poem is good, it will naturally gain the respect of the literati."

"Then I'll just plant the field well, if I really want to make a poem that expresses my style, I guess you won't understand."

Chatting and farting is naturally to resolve the boredom in the heart, and after resolving one's own, but also to help resolve others, wine and food are the sharp weapons to resolve the boredom in the hearts of most death row inmates, sometimes, people often prefer to die, rather than continue to live in pain, the spirit is tense, and death becomes natural.

Sun Xiangfu didn't want to see these people who shouldn't have died like this, so he had to cheer for everyone again and again.

"When you're done drinking, let's move on! Wait until the alcohol is off before stopping and resting. He shouted at the big guy, and then turned to Xi Junmai and said, "Junmai, let everyone roar together." ”

"Okay."

Xi Junmai, who was on horseback, cleared his throat and sang loudly, "The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon rolls, the horse neighses, the sword qi is like frost, ready to sing~"

"The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon rolls, the horse neighses, the sword qi is like frost, the heart is like the Yellow River, who can resist ······ in 20 years"

This song has already become a popular song in Datang, as soon as the guards began to sing, the spirit of the big guy instantly rose, and he was infected by the guards, and after the catalysis of spirits, the death row prisoners became more cheerful, most of them hummed with the guards, and drove on the road again, and everyone's speed did not slow down.

Less than a mile away from them, the pioneer general Niu Jinda also heard the singing of this group of people, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, it was not his intention to force Sun Xiangfu to hurry like this, but the meaning of Emperor Li Shimin.

Even Wang Rui knew that Liang Shidu was a dry bone in the grave, how could Li Shimin not know that he didn't move Liang Shidu before because he was waiting for an opportunity to take Liang Shidu at the smallest cost like now.

Jieli and Tuli are now both defeated in the west, and it is impossible for them to run thousands of miles away to help Liang Shidu, so Li Shimin's original intention was to force him to surrender when Liang Shidu was isolated.

And letting Sun Xiangfu be this pawn is actually to give him a credit, and it is also an explanation to the ministers who shouted at Sun Xiangfu to kill, Li Shimin got him to the death row camp as a death squad, and he survived, this can't be blamed Li Shimin for not punishing him!

Of course, this is also to prevent the ministers from committing crimes like Sun Xiangfu in the future, and Li Shimin wants to kill but can't.

If there is no accident, these poems read by Sun Xiangfu will appear on Li Shimin's desk a few days later, just like the half of the poem he read a few days ago, there must be secret guards in the supervision team, after Li Chunfeng dedicated the more mature method of flying pigeons to Li Shimin, the correspondence between the army and Chang'an is very frequent, and everything is too small, it will be reported, after all, the Tang Dynasty is now using troops in this place, and Li Shimin has nothing else to do in the winter season.

In this way, Sun Xiangfu and his entourage spent three days of difficult marching, and officially entered the hinterland of the enemy-occupied area of Shuozhou, and the shackles that had been worn for more than a month were finally taken off at this time. It is the emperor's will that they can be released from the shackles before they are in battle, which means that they are now in a state of battle.

"Take it."

After the captain of the supervising team untied Sun Xiangfu's shackles, he gave him a bamboo gun, for non-professional soldiers, it is a waste to issue iron guns, and Datang does not have so many resources to equip these inconsequential people now.

After moving his wrist, which was almost calloused by the shackles, Sun Xiangfu disdainfully threw the bamboo gun aside, this thing is difficult to pierce even sheepskin, let alone a soldier wearing armor.

Soon, Xi Junmai and the guards came over to help Sun Xiangfu wear the equipment, all the iron bars that were originally pulled out of the cotton armor were loaded in, a large iron helmet with shock absorption built-in was worn on Sun Xiangfu's head, Nie Sanniang thoughtfully stuffed cotton in the helmet, so even if it is an iron helmet, it is very warm to wear on the head, but it is too big, and after taking it, it looks like a big-headed patient.

Riding spears, sabers, these things Sun Xiangfu can't play, so he is not equipped at all, his war horse has four crossbows with arrow boxes on his neck, plus the ones in his hands and waist, a total of seven, at least ten arrow boxes are installed in the jackets on both sides of the horse's buttocks, which are prepared after learning the lessons of the Battle of Luoyang, if you still let the enemy get close to you in the case of so many crossbows and arrows, then it can only be said that Sun Xiangfu should die.

"I don't know how to ride, and those who don't have cotton armor stay behind to drive the snow and harrow slowly, and the rest of the people ride forward with my guards."

When the guards came, they were equipped with one person and three horses, so that there were three hundred horses enough for each of these people who could ride horses, and in the end, less than a hundred death row prisoners were selected and followed by Sun Xiangfu and a hundred guards to fight in front.

The overseer team and the remaining 100 or so death row prisoners drove the snow rake, pulling some materials unloaded from the horses and slowly followed behind, Tang Fengyi was arranged by Sun Xiangfu to take care of the materials on the plow and rake cart, these things brought from Chang'an are the lifeblood of this group of people.

As soon as the horse runs, Sun Xiangfu knows the disadvantages of wearing too thick, don't think that riding a horse is to sit on the back of the horse and let the horse run, the person on the horse also has to follow the rhythm of the horse to adjust the rhythm of the body, which requires a lot of physical strength, so, it didn't take long for Sun Xiangfu to sweat, and the big iron helmet was about to suffocate him to death, and after that, this thing is estimated to have the smell of his sweat.

The horse team in the run can not be stopped at will, so it is easy to cause a rear-end accident, the leader needs to be able to see the entire horse team as a whole and put it in his heart, so that it will not be chaotic, Sun Xiangfu's original owner of this body is a native of Youzhou, can ride a horse, but has no experience in commanding a horse team, so this matter has to be bought by Xi Jun, and Sun Xiangfu is at the back of the team, and Zhao Qiang is on his side to protect him.

Shuozhou is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the middle is all plains, one side is adjacent to the grassland, from Taiyuan, through the mountains and forests, it entered the plains, that is to say, when it arrived at Mayi City, it was only a hundred miles away at most, Xi Junmai had a telescope in hand, and he would definitely be the first to find the enemy on the plains, however, after the team entered the plains, they did not encounter any obstacles, and there were no horseshoe prints on the snow.

"You can stop and rest, and let the Warlords report to the Vanguard Army."

Riding lightly, he could run dozens of miles in an hour, and it took less than half a day for Xi Junmai to see the walls of Mayi City in the telescope. After that, he also handed the telescope to Sun Xiangfu, who stepped forward from the back of the team.

"Hey, someone is coming, only one ride." Sun Xiangfu also wanted to take a sneak peek at what the so-called Jiancheng of Mayi looked like, but not long after he raised the binoculars, he saw a person running towards this side on horseback.
