Chapter 177: The World Is in Turmoil (18)

There are still 20,000 defenders of the heavy infantry and county soldiers of the Xianguo forbidden army in Chenling, and the population of hundreds of thousands of people under its jurisdiction, especially the sons and daughters of nobles and relatives, are more than 10,000 people, and tens of thousands of people are forcibly conscripted to defend the Lingling in a short period of time until the main force of the northern army of the Jin army in the autumn is very graspable.

Now it is the middle of June, the city of Chenling is not better than the Yin Yang of the year, the city is known as the copper wall and iron wall, the city wall has bricks, there is a moat, the city defense system is complete, and the grain storage can be used for eight months in the city.

At that time, Yin Yang was still able to hold on to January, but it was not a big problem for Chenling to hold on to two or three months. If King Xian refuses to leave the city and vows to live and die together in the city, and the Jin army does not come to help, where will the national prestige of the Jin State be placed, and who will recognize him as the eldest brother in the future, so the Jin army will inevitably come to the rescue.

At that time, if a confrontation is formed, it will be extremely unfavorable to the Black Turban Army, and Bailiyan has 10,000 reasons to believe that the Black Turban Army must still have a big killing weapon to pry open the gate of the tomb without much effort. Once they fail to borrow snow from the sky, they will inevitably sacrifice their killing weapons in advance to counterattack the Xian army.

Before sitting back on the case, Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) personally revised a book, detailing the stakes, and ordered Sikong Nan to quickly go to the Chinese army to present Zhao Xun.

"Brother Sikong, quickly hand over this letter to Zhao Shuai, if Zhao Shuai has a reply, bring it back to me immediately."

"Please rest assured, General."

Sikong Nan turned over and whipped away, and Bai Liyan suddenly became apprehensive in his heart.

In the evening, Zhong Heng came to inquire about the plan, he told Zhao Xun in detail about the preparation of his subordinates to cross the river, and learned that Zhao Xun did not fully explain the plan, Bai Liyan thought that Zhao Xun did not want to disclose his attitude and position on the matter of snow for the time being, so as to prevent someone from confusing the public to disturb the army's morale and mutiny.

Second, military movements are a confidential matter, and the main general will not disclose them until the battle, not to mention that no one knows when it will snow, and informing the enemy in advance can only make the enemy take precautions.

Bai Liyan believed that the whole army knew that he and Zhao Xun were the only ones who knew that Zhong Heng crossed the river to fight, and Jiang Min, the Duke of Guangxin, was also in the dark.

Sikong Nan rushed back to Wuping in the early morning, but Zhao Xun did not reply, only asked Sikong Nan to bring back a sentence:

"Zhao Shuai said that he already knew, so let the general rest assured."

"Just a word?"

Sikong Nan nodded and affirmed the statement.

Bai Liyan thought about it and thought that Zhao Xun would probably have to rush to Wuping in person at that time, otherwise there would be a sudden change, and Guangxin Gong and Zhong Heng would not have the right to make strategic deployments.

Seeing that Baili Yan was silent, Sikong Nan asked cautiously:

"General Wei, there have been rumors in the camp recently, does Zhao Shuai have any big moves?"

Bailiyan was surprised:

"Is this what you mean, Brother Sikong, or is there a discussion in the camp in private?"

Sikong Nan didn't know Bailiyan's intentions, he said cautiously:

"The Wuping garrison and the Chinese army camp are talking everywhere, this God wants to punish the tyrant's army, isn't this obviously talking about the Xian army."

"Hmph." Bai Liyan snorted coldly: "The meticulous work of the Black Turban Army is pervasive, it has only been a few days, and the whole army knows that the sky is going to destroy Xian, which is really a good skill." ”

The Black Turban Army only said that it was the division of the Heavenly Punishment Tyrant, and it was deliberately creating a sense of mystery to make ordinary soldiers panic, and once it snowed, the final sense of mystery would become panic worship, and then as long as someone instigated it, it was a high probability event that a mutiny occurred.

What's even more ruthless is that many generals in the commander of the Xian Army are now talking about witchcraft, and witchcraft has become a taboo topic.

Even if a few people realize that the next blizzard is about to happen, where to get cotton clothes to keep out the cold at this moment, unless they withdraw from the Yongxing River defense line to avoid the battle. However, for the time being, no matter what measures are taken, it will not help.

The damage to nature caused by the war is undoubtedly huge, Zhao Xun ordered that all the big trees that could be seen within five miles of the Xian army's camp should be cut down, and the forest should be cut down from farther away if the logging is not enough, and the logs are stacked according to the requirements of the long, wide, high, and two-zhang cube log piles, the more the better.

The logging campaign lasted until the eighth day, and the Black Turban Army must have discovered the intention of the Xian Army, mistakenly believing that the Xian Army was cutting wood for heating the fire, and that it was the next step to obtain cotton clothes to keep out the cold.

So the Black Turban Army also began to pretend to cut wood, and let people cross the river to provoke. said that as long as the Xianjun opened his mouth, he would give as much wood as he wanted. The implication is that this blizzard is not only coming, but not in a day or two, but in ten days, half a month or even a month, even if it is firewood, it will not save hundreds of thousands of Xian troops.

The Black Turban Army did this extremely viciously, and the generals didn't believe it before, but now the Black Turban Army came to provoke, undoubtedly piercing the last layer of window paper, making the army's heart, which was already floating at the beginning, become restless.

"Why did Zhao Shuai let go of the traitor, he should be beheaded everywhere to set the record straight."

The Metropolitan Governor Guan Pu said indignantly, and then the Metropolitan Governor Xiao Chen echoed and said:

"What General Guan Pu said is extremely true, the Black Turban Army can pinch and calculate witchcraft, and now he is talking about freezing our army to death, how can such a fallacy be left unchecked."

"The two armies are fighting and not coming, Governor Xiao Dadu, I don't have to make the world laugh at Zhao Shuai."

He Meng said, and the Metropolitan Governor Xiao Chen sneered:

"It is intolerable to deceive the public with witchcraft and deceive people's hearts, and everyone can punish it, how can it be connived. Now it's good, Zhao Shuai not only let the thief go, but made all the soldiers and soldiers in danger, what is the military heart in the long run. ”

The generals argued fiercely, and suddenly there was a loud noise, Zhao Xun smashed his left palm on the table, stood up and glared at the generals angrily:

"You are all generals of the country, and now you are a traitor chattering here, and what kind of system is spreading out."

"Zhao Shuai." Guan Pu said confidently: "There are many rumors among the soldiers that the black turban traitors control the sky with witchcraft and are about to freeze our army to death, and I also ask Zhao Shuai to show where our army's fighters are." ”

"What General Guan said is extremely true, and rumors have been spreading recently, and he also asked Zhao Shuai to make the fighter plane clear to stabilize the army's morale."

Xiao Chen and the others will echo it, with the intention of forcing the palace. He Meng and Ye Xinxin knew that the rumors had been rampant recently, and they wanted to defend Zhao Xun, but they couldn't come up with a hard enough defense to excuse them. At this time, Gao Pei interjected:

"General Xiao, is there anyone like you who talks to Zhao Shuai like this!"

"Then your General Gao came up with a strategy to break the black turban army's demon skills to calm the army's heart, and I, Xiao, admire you, General Gao is a hero, how about it!"

"Everything is decided by Zhao Shuai, what kind of system are you waiting for here."

"Hmph, rumors are spreading, the army is disheartened, we are waiting to fight for the country, there should always be an explanation, right?"

Xiao Chen pushed Gao Pei back with a word, and the generals echoed:

"Yes, what Governor Xiao said is very true, please Zhao Shuai clearly indicate the fighter plane to determine the heart of the army."

At this time, Zhao Xun has a plan in his heart, but he can't say it clearly, and he is not sure that it is one of them, and the other is the mystery of what Bai Liyan said.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xun suddenly pulled out the horizontal knife under the ribs, and the generals were taken aback, Guan Pu, Xiao Chen and others were stunned and subconsciously reached out to touch the sword on their waists, and before they could react, they saw Zhao Xun stabbing at the table and stabbing to the end, until the handle of the knife could no longer be inserted on the table.

At this time, the blade of the knife had already sunk into the ground for more than a foot and a half, and everyone gasped when they saw it, and their backs were even colder.

Under the ribs of the generals are all iron swords, all of which are the essence of iron, extremely sharp, but no one's saber is so slender that it can pierce the table and insert it under the ground without effort, and whether the sword is so sharp or not, the sword body is a good sword if it is not bent.

Now that this cold sword is still faintly cold when it is submerged into the ground, it is definitely a peerless sword today.

The tent was silent at the moment, Guan Pu, Xiao Chen and the others looked at the sword, and then looked at Zhao Xun Tieqing's face, stunned that they were such generals who were used to seeing blood, and there was also a chill in their hearts at this moment.

After being silent for a long time, Zhao Xun groaned and said:

"Whether it's magic or witchcraft, everyone will tell Ben Shuai, who will see the black turban traitor snowing with their own eyes."

Everyone was dumbfounded, and after a long time, Xiao Chen stepped forward boldly and said:

"The last general has never seen the black gold traitor snow, but rumors have risen, it is true that the black turban army prepared cotton clothes, if it were not for witchcraft, the black turban army would prepare cotton clothes."

"That marshal asked you, have you ever seen snow in General Xiao?"

Zhao Xun's tone immediately became stern, Xiao Chen knew that something was wrong, Zhao Xun was murderous, and he clenched the matter, obviously eating that no one saw it with his own eyes, if he easily admitted that he didn't see the snow, Zhao Xun might use the evil words to confuse the people and take him to sacrifice the flag.

Just when Xiao Chen was silent, Zhao Xun suddenly raised his voice and shouted:

"Your General Xiao has never seen snow in Xianguo, then Ben Shuai told him, Ben Shuai has seen it!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and the generals looked at each other, not knowing what Zhao Xun meant.

At this time, I only heard Zhao Xun's order, and asked people to take a basin of water and put it in the tent, and ordered the generals to come forward and look carefully:

"General Guan Pu, can you see clearly, the water in this basin is water?"

Guan Pu rolled his eyes and said as a matter of course:

"Zhao Shuai is joking, if it weren't for water, it would be snow."

Zhao Xun sneered:

"If Ben Shuai makes the water melt into ice, what will you do?"

"Hmph, the last general will be at the disposal of Zhao Shuai." Guan Pu's nostrils turned to the sky with disdain, and he couldn't help but think in his heart that Zhao Xun was crazy, and he couldn't turn water into ice on a hot day.

At this time, the generals were discussing, Ye Xin, Gao Pei, He Meng and others did not believe it, but they had to believe it, if Zhao Xun couldn't change the ice, wouldn't he have lost his prestige. But on such a hot day, how can a basin of water turn into ice.

Zhao Xun was silent at this time, and then Guan Pu's words sneered:

"General Guan is optimistic, and now Ben Shuai wants you to be convinced."

After the words fell, Zhao Xun took out the potassium nitrate given by Baili Yan in his arms, sprinkled it into the basin in front of everyone, and then stirred it well with a wooden stick.

After a while, a cloud and mist rose in the basin, the water surface froze and stiffened, and a chill hit the face, everyone was dumbfounded and unbelievable when they saw this, and Guan Pu and Xiao Chen's two generals were even more stunned, and they didn't know what to do.

It's really a living hell.,Everyone can see it clearly.,A basin of water sprinkled with an unknown white powder instantly turned into a basin of ice.,To say that the eyes have hallucinations.,It's cold to touch with your hands.,You can't feel hallucinations too.。
