The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the north wind howled, pouring down with pain, powerfully engulfing all the discordant sounds between heaven and earth. The thinly dressed soldiers all clenched their throats with their heads down, and they rolled forward with their heads down, and did not talk to each other, although the team trembled dangerously and stretched longer and longer, but it was still under the control of several generals, slowly moving forward.

At the end of the day, a group of more than 500 people finally arrived at Yanshuiji, counted the number of people, but there were more than 50 people missing, thinking that they had fallen behind. In this blizzard, the fate of falling behind is self-evident.

When I came out, Tian Feng "reminded" me that there would be a snowstorm howling in the past two days, which was not conducive to the march. Of course, I know this. For generals, when I know astronomy and geography, although I have only been in this era for a little more than three years, I am always preparing for the coming troubled times.

Xu Li's movements were faster than ours, and by the time we arrived, he had already set up a military account in the salt water set, and ordered the fire to keep warm. Preparing everything in such a short period of time is impressive, and this incident also makes Zhang He respect Xu Li a little more. Our opponent Zhang Chun is a mediocre talent, otherwise he would not have raised troops in history and destroyed my future father-in-law, Gongsun Zhan, in just a few months. With his wisdom, he naturally would not have imagined that such an "army" would suddenly appear in his territory, and he would fight his idea in such a snowstorm. I wasn't worried that he would send scouts to guard against the enemy in such cold weather, so I swaggered and camped down in the salt water and couldn't help but put out the fire.

As a general, you can't underestimate your opponent, but if you overestimate him, you will make yourself uncomfortable, but it is not necessary. This is also the reason why I took Tian Feng's best policy at the beginning.

Set in brine slightly tidy up. I didn't disrupt the team, but just selected twenty of the best martial arts from the Mangshan Cottage and Dangyin Mountain, led by Zhang He, and used them as commandos. Then he picked out more than a hundred weaker and ruffian, and ordered them to stay in the salt water set to standby, but in fact, they were no longer needed.

Zhang He's martial arts are outstanding, and after showing his hands, these forty skilled warriors are no longer dissatisfied with him, and he is also very affinity, and in only a few hours, he successfully enveloped these forty warriors. I also forcibly suppressed my sleepiness, and led Xu Lihu Tiegun to walk around the "military camp" created in this grass-roots way, and when my "interest" came, I showed my hand a little, and initially established a consensus in the army as the commander of the first army.

After a break in the afternoon, Tian Qiong sent ten carts of freshly slaughtered beef and five carts of good wine, and I ordered someone to boil the pot and distribute the wine and meat, so that everyone had a round belly. Mangshan and Dangyin Mountain were originally homeless people, everyone was used to being poor, and on such a cold day, even the leaders of the house, Xu Li and Hu Tiegun, were also very self-respecting, and there were few thick clothes to protect themselves from the cold, how could they have enjoyed such a formation? This meal made these more than 1,000 people feel comfortable one by one, and there was no complaint.

I didn't say anything all night, and at midnight (9 to 11 o'clock in the evening), I gathered everyone, people with grass, horses, and traveled in the whole team. After a few exchanges, Xu Lihu Tiegun was convinced of me, although he was a little afraid of the blizzard, he didn't say anything about it, just looked at me pitifully. Only the three of them here knew that I was going to take these more than 800 former bandits with no armor and thin clothes to attack Lunu City tonight, Zhang He was better, and only restrained himself from the forty warriors he had brought with him, but he also looked worried. The rest of the soldiers did not know that they would be greeted by a terrible battle, but they all looked yearning, and looked forward to me taking them to a place where there was good wine and meat for a meal.

There were more than 800 people, divided into a whole team. I glanced at it, the north wind was tight, one was howling, and several thinly dressed soldiers were blown to the ground without paying attention, but they were still struggling to stand up straight, but there was a suspicious look in their eyes. Many of their brothers had been left behind on the march the night before, and their lives were still uncertain, and looking at the vast night, the temptation of good wine and meat was much less.

For the general, not the pawn of the fox.

I shook my head and said in a voice that could be heard by 800 people, "Brothers, it is cold tonight, but we only have some dry food left, and the bones of the cow that we have eaten during the day!" If you want to eat a full meal, come with me, and I promise that not only will each of you have wine and meat to eat, but you will also be able to put on thick clothes and eat well for your parents, wives and children who are still hungry and cold at home, and you will be able to survive this winter in peace! ”

With that, I threw off my robe, threw it to one of the thinly dressed veterans, and said apologetically, "Put it on, and when we get there, I'll give each brother two new clothes." ”

Actually, I also thought about getting some thick clothes for these poor brothers, but the time was too tight, and it was less than two days since I met Tian Feng and Zhang He to agree on a plan, and even with the wealth of the Zhen family, it was impossible to meet such a large number of needs for a while. Rather than favoring one over the other, simply save trouble. Ignoring the old soldier's trembling and tearful appearance, I took off my coat and threw it to another person, leaving only a short jacket and a long shirt on my body.

The cold wind hit, cold to the bone, made my hairs stand on end, my spirit was greatly lifted, I took a deep breath, exhaled a big mouthful of thick fog, ignored Zhang He and Hu Tiegun, turned over on the horse, and shouted: "Brothers, go!" ”

In the scorching gaze of everyone holding their own voices, the horse galloped forward first. When I was in Liaodong, every winter, no matter how cold the weather was, I wiped my body with ice and snow every day until I was red.

Zhang He and Hu Tiegun Xu Li were stunned, they didn't expect that I would use this method to respond to their doubts, the three of them didn't know my ability to resist the cold, but this was the best way to boost morale. After a little hesitation, Zhang He gritted his teeth, and also took off two pieces of clothing and threw them to the two thinly dressed pawns beside him.

Seeing me and Zhang He behaving like this, Hu Tiegun and Xu Liju were red-eyed, looked at each other and didn't speak, they were all thinly dressed, and there was nothing left on them, just relying on their strong bodies to be a little stronger than others, they gritted their teeth and shouted to the marching team: "Brothers, the young general and Brother Zhang are not dressed more than us, rush!" Bring clothes for your parents and children at home! ”

Poor people naturally have the ability to resist freezing and starvation. With the encouragement of Zhang He and me, the morale of the 800 soldiers was greatly boosted, with a blazing light in their eyes, and they marched towards the direction of Lunu City with thick steps and cold storms and snowfall.
