Chapter 4 016 Difficult march
On the first day of the first month of the lunar month, the snow on the road was blown by the wind and froze to death, and it was hard to look at it, and not a single figure could be seen, Guan Zheng's army also went out of Hangu Pass today, and ferried to the territory of Xie County through Xinfeng
"Dudu, the wind and snow are too big, do you want to find a place to avoid and then go," Wei Yan, who played the striker, came to Guan Zheng with a cold face and said loudly in his ear
"Bypass Xie County, don't alarm Cao Jun, go up the mountain and rest," Guan Zheng put his hand to his mouth, took a few breaths, wiped his nose, and ordered Wei Yan
"Huh," Wei Yan shuddered, hugged his fist at Guan Zheng, and then turned around and ran to the front of the team, leading the army forward against the wind and snow
"Zhu Rong asked your barbarians to teach them how to choose a place to set up a tent, and then make a fire, make a fire, hunting, the hunting weather is too cold, this governor will allow you to drink," Guan Zheng rubbed his hands and shrank under a big tree, and said to the left and right
"Okay, yes, the governor has ordered everyone to drink alcohol, everyone is a little quicker, set up a military tent, cut more firewood, and make the fire more prosperous," Zhang Fei heard that he could drink, and when he touched the ice scum on his beard, he shouted loudly
"Scout sentry sentry must not slack off, change shifts every half an hour, so as not to frostbite the soldiers," Guan Zheng turned his head and ordered Wei Yan, who was stomping his feet to the side
"Don't worry about these trivial matters, the governor has already taken care of them, and the governor will take care of them and rest in peace," Wei Yan stomped his feet and jumped a few more times in place, before he hugged his fists and replied to Guan Zheng
There were many people and great strength, and soon the soldiers cut down a lot of trees, chose a sheltered place, and built a small wooden house for Guan Zheng after three or two clicks, and dug a fire pit in the wooden house, set up the firewood, and then led Guan Zheng in
"Not bad, who took it," Guan Zheng sat on the stump next to the fire, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile
"Governor asks, who built this house," a small colonel heard Guan Zheng's question, and hurriedly rushed into the snow and shouted loudly to the busy soldiers
When he was young, a dozen soldiers walked to the door of the wooden house with some cringe under the leadership of their respective commanders
"They built the Governor's hut," the Colonel hurriedly shouted into the room
"Come in, talk, come on," Guan Zheng added two pieces of wood to the fire pit and beckoned to the door
"Ben Du just asked casually, don't be so nervous, hehehe, your craftsmanship is good, in such a short period of time, you can build a house without leaks," Guan Zheng looked at the nervous faces of those soldiers and praised them with a smile
"So, it's freezing and you still build a wooden house for the governor, and the governor will personally reward you with ten taels of silver each, which is considered a thank you gift, but at the moment, the governor has no money for you, and you have to wait until you win the battle and enter Yecheng to cash it out for you," Guan Zheng rubbed his hands, took off the cloak, put it on his knees, and baked
"Don't hurry up, thank you for the reward," the colonel hurriedly reminded when he saw that the soldiers were a little wooden
"Oh, oh, thank you, Du Reward", these soldiers have seen the biggest cadre on weekdays, that is, a captain, and today they actually saw their bosses, and they were inevitably excited, and they were a little nervous, so they were reminded by the colonel, so they all hugged their fists and rushed to Guan Zheng, and saluted unevenly
"Okay, let's all retreat, if you need to build a wooden house in the future, you will have to help," Guan Zheng knew that the part-time workers and the leaders felt awkward, and he didn't say much at the moment, but Wen Yan ordered these soldiers to retreat
"It seems that this snow can't stop in the short term, and the soldiers are working very hard all the way, so let's rest here for two days before going on the road," Guan Zheng looked at the thick snow outside the door and the ice cubes hanging on the trees, and said to Zhu Rong, who was curled up next to the fire
"It's too cold, I have to let them rest for two more days before leaving," Zhu Rong wrapped his robe cut from tiger skin, sneezed and said to Guan Zheng
"Sit closer, don't just roast one side, first roast one side of the body, and then turn the other side to roast the other side, otherwise the side of the fire will be scalded to death, and the side that is not roasted will freeze to death, so it is easy to get sick," Guan Zheng taught Zhu Rong how to roast the fire hand in hand
"Ah, I froze to death," Zhu Rong, who was born in Yunnan and grew up in Yunnan, where has he ever seen such cold weather, according to Guan Zheng's guidance, he sneezed while twisting his body by the fire
"Do you think we can be sure of a surprise attack on Yecheng in such weather," Guan Zheng asked Zhu Rong as he looked at the snowflakes in the sky that twisted straight down with the wind
"I didn't think about it, I just want me to follow you wherever you go," the temperature in the wooden house gradually rose a little under the effect of the flames, Zhu Rong twisted his body and whispered there
"We are cold, the enemy is also cold, the enemy in the New Year, but I didn't expect that we are not too old, I think this battle can have a seventy percent chance of winning, the key is how to defend after taking Yecheng, this is a headache for me," Guan Zheng wiped his face with his hand and scratched his head
"Then it depends on how Zhou Dudu uses his troops, he is fast, if he takes the Central Plains like a thunderbolt, Yecheng is easy to defend, if he is slow, then half a beat, as long as Cao Cao has a stronghold in the Central Plains to contain them, Yecheng will be in a state of being besieged" Zhu Rong is not ignorant of the art of war, but he is unwilling to show it in front of Guan Zheng on weekdays, at this time, he saw Guan Zheng ask her, so he analyzed there
"This battle will be the battle of the Warring States of Zuo, the fortune of the country," Guan Zheng stretched out his hand and took Zhu Rong into his arms and said softly
After resting on the mountain for two days, the soldiers got a certain amount of rest, and also replenished some of the fat needed by their bodies through hunting, and then embarked on the journey again under the leadership of Guan Zheng
"Wrap the rope around your waist, follow one by one, don't panic, don't hurry, walk forward slowly," walked to the ridge, because the mountain was too steep, Guan Zheng was just there, reminding the soldiers over and over again
From time to time, rocks in the "Kara Kala" were trampled by the soldiers and rolled down the ridge
"Don't look down, the person in front of you follows his footsteps, don't rush over," Guan Zheng looked at some of the soldiers in front of him, and had already begun to tremble, and hurriedly shouted there
"The people in the back hold the waists of the people in front and support each other, and they are about to walk over," Guan Zheng's voice would sound on the ridge after a while, and he wanted to remind these soldiers at all times that they could not let their lives be lost because of a moment's negligence
"Pass forward, the people in the back help the people in front of you, walk slowly, don't look down," the soldiers reminded their comrades one after another, and walked firmly forward
