The wind is like a knife, blowing the red wedding dress like a flame.

Wang Jun's face was blown whiter and whiter by the cold wind, like a piece of dust-free, white and flawless rice paper, and the gently pursed sandalwood lips were so red.

She grasped the reins in both hands and listened to the snort of the slowly moving red horse, spitting white mist in the cold air. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, but she had a firm and proud will in her heart, and her deep and beautiful eyes calmly accepted the gaze of thousands of Tang Yi generals.

On the west bank of the Wushou River, groups of horse infantry and teams of cavalry were arrayed.

In addition to the war horses and military horses snorting one after another, spitting white mist vapor in the cold air, thousands of generals were silent, staring at Han Qian and Wang Jun in wedding clothes riding side by side, slowly passing in front of the arrays, inspecting the appearance of the army.

As the military orders were passed down layer by layer, at this time, even the most basic generals knew their true intention of gathering on the west bank of the Wushou River.

They gathered here to carry out surprise attacks on key targets in the enemy's hinterland under the leadership of Han Qian and Wang Jun, who were supposed to hold a big ceremony in Liyang City tomorrow.

On the day of the wedding, a good trip to welcome relatives suddenly turned into a leading attack on the enemy, how shocking it is!

Ordinary soldiers also thought this was incredible, and even a little ridiculous.

However, it was this incredible and even absurd move that made many generals not worry and resist when they were about to go on the expedition at this moment, but were filled with another inexplicable agitation, as if this should be the lord and mother who were deeply supported by them and did not hesitate to give their lives for it.

It was as if Wang Jun's fiery red wedding dress had turned into a bright flame, burning in their chests.

Han Qian took Wang Jun and drove a small dirt slope on his horse, facing the cold wind blowing on his face like a knife, and took in the temporary school field with a depth of miles on the east side of the tunzhai, and the first batch of 2,000 elites gathered were like a bottle of solid rock, standing in the cold wind.

Early this morning, the temperature was a little lower than the previous two days, the Wushou River was covered with thin ice, and the flow of the Chu River became slower.

Several tributaries of Wujianshan Mountain in the upper reaches of the Chuhe River have been significantly reduced in the past two days, which is the main reason for the slowdown of the Chuhe River.

Han Qian also sent people to Wujian Mountain, asking Kong Xirong to send people to investigate the phenomenon of the broken flow of the northern branch of the river.

There has been no reply from Kong Xirong's side, and it is unclear whether the interruption is caused by the freezing of the mountains and rivers or the continuous decrease in rain after the winter.

If the flow of water on the main road of the Chuhe River is further reduced

, slowing down, and if the low temperature weather continues, the Chuhe River, which is more than 100 zhang wide, may also freeze this year.

The Zhegao River, which flows out of the Fucha Mountain and other peaks and mountains to join Chaohu Lake, has been frozen in the past two days, and it is necessary to requisition additional manpower and dig river ice from time to time to ensure that warships can enter the river at any time.

Han Qian secretly pondered in his heart, Wen Bo, Zhao Mingting, Wen Ruilin and other enemy generals should have noticed this phenomenon, if they launched this favorable factor for launching an offensive on the Chuhe defense line, maybe they were already secretly transferring troops and horses to the southern line of the walled city, right?

"My lord......" Tian Cheng saw that Han Qian was a little distracted looking at the wilderness in the north, and reminded him lightly.

Han Qian retracted his thoughts, grabbed the reins, and gently patted the neck of the jujube red horse under him, making it stand there meekly, and he refocused his gaze on the school pawn.

Once upon a time, he was full of only thinking that he could break free from the strangulation of fate and struggle to survive, what is the grand ambition of establishing a life for the people and opening peace for all generations, which is so far away from him, and the selection of generals from the cold is just a means.

But I don't know when such an idea has quietly changed.

After a while, Han Qian took a breath, raised his voice, and said in a loud voice:

"At this time last year, the Liang army was surging south, and the city of Tangyi, like a lonely boat floating in the turbulent flood, would be destroyed at any time. Going back a hundred years, Jianghuai was also a place of four wars, and no city could avoid the fate of changing hands several times, and thousands of ordinary people were like ants, floating around, life and death without support. At this time last year, someone advised me that I should lead everyone to retreat to the south bank to avoid the sharp edge of the Liang army and the Shouzhou rebels, but I looked at the thousands of miles of wilderness full of bones, and thought to myself, if we only want to avoid the enemy's edge, and only think about escaping to a safer place, where is the home where we can settle down and shelter our families? Generals, tell me that you have been wandering around all these years, can you find a place where you can live and live without being invaded by war? I wasn't one to avoid the enemy's edge, so I decided to stay on the north shore without even thinking about just defending the lonely city of Tangyi. After all, we regard Tangyi as our home, but just a strong city can not provide us much except for our lives, we need a vast land to build houses, reclaim arable land to grow mulberry cotton and grain, so that we can have our houses, food, and clothing, so that our families can really be sheltered, no longer drifting around, will not starve to death, freeze to death in the wilderness, streets and alleys, and do not need to sell them into slaves, like a dog to endure the cruel slavery of others in order to survive. Yes, in the past year, we have done a good job, and countless generals have used their blood, sweat, and even their lives to fight for such a land and home for our children to live and reproduce. However, we must not forget that the tiger and wolf of the Shouzhou army are still peeking to the side, and they will pounce on us at any time to bite our necks, devour our flesh and blood, and fight us

The life is stripped of everything. In fact, in the past nearly a year, they have never given up such efforts, and they will not give up such servitude in the future. In the treatment of tigers and wolves, in addition to tightening the fence and guarding the door, we must also take the initiative to go out, pick up the knives in our hands, the bows and crossbows in our hands, and hit them fiercely, beat them down, and beat them down, so that our homes can be peaceful, and our wives and children can have enough food and clothing. Everyone also knows what day tomorrow is, but as the commander of the Tangyi generals, I have not dared to forget my duties for a moment, and I have not dared to forget the tiger wolf on my side for a moment. In this battle, I don't know how many sons will die on the battlefield, and I don't know how many sons will say goodbye to their families forever, but what I can do is to go out with Zhu Erlang to fight tigers and wolves and defend their homes. ”

Yin Peng and the two elders of the Wang clan stood in the distance, as outsiders, they were not qualified to participate in the military meeting convened by Han Qian, but in order to avoid suspicion, they would not leave or send people to leave here.

After today, they still have to go to Liyang according to the established itinerary to attend the wedding banquet; Even the groom and bride will not appear in Liyang tomorrow.

Of course, they didn't leave today, and they had the honor to witness Han Qian's mobilization of troops and horses.

No matter how deep down they were, they were somewhat disdainful of Han Qian's words, but listening to the enthusiastic shouts of the generals on the school ground, at this time, they rose and fell one after another like ocean waves, and they had to admit that Han Qian's words were effective.

A year before the Tangyi soldiers died, most of them were still wandering and helpless, with hungry wives and children, and what they most longed for was a small field to cultivate, a small thatched hut that the whole family could squeeze into to shelter from the wind and rain, and a cloth that would not freeze to death in the cold night, even if it was tattered.

At the end of the day, they only wanted to live in the meanest.

Han Qian gave them fields, houses, food and clothing, and gave them hope not to be enslaved, at this time, Han Qian personally led the army on the day of the wedding, so that their hope became stronger and more real, how to make these generals not enthusiastic?

Maybe during the Jinling Incident, the Chishan Army was obviously weak, but the root cause of such tenacious fighting was here?

Even judging from the collective backgrounds of the generals and military attaches in Tangyi and Xuzhou, the vast majority of them are from low backgrounds, and even a considerable number of them are directly from exiles or slaves.

Han Qian's words also made their hearts boil, and they were even willing to die on the battlefield at this moment, right?

At this moment, Yin Peng suddenly thought of his origin, speaking of which, in his early years, he was just a family soldier of the Wang family, equivalent to a slave.

Han Qian didn't care what kind of turmoil was going on in Yin Peng's heart in the distance, he saw that the time was almost up, so he waved his hand and motioned for all the troops to start in turn, and set out on the road according to their predetermined routes......
