The first snow outside Gubeikou finally fell, but it didn't fall much, it stopped in just an hour, and the snowflakes fell only two inches deep on the frozen soil, but it didn't have much impact, but the Liao army's siege stopped on this day, I don't know if it was because of the weather or other reasons?

On the head of Xi Guancheng, Di Qing wrapped the cotton coat on his body tightly, pressed the hat on his head, and then felt more comfortable, a snow last night made the temperature plummet, coupled with the howling north wind, blowing on the face like a knife, especially the city head is not blocked, here is a valley, it was originally a tuyere, and the result is that this city head is like a frozen hole, as long as you stand for a while, you can freeze people through.

Fortunately, this morning the barracks distributed cotton coats, which are winter coats made of cotton grown in the northwest, the style is very simple, just like a quilt with sleeves, which can wrap people in it entirely, very warm, and it is also thanks to the promotion of cotton planting in recent years, so that cotton coats can also be used in the army.

Wrapped tightly in his coat, Di Qing took a turn around the city, only to see that the thin snow on the city wall had been cleared, although the snow was very thin, but it was still easy to slip in such a cold weather, if the enemy came to attack, the snow could also cause some accidents, so this morning he ordered people to shovel the snow down, and now it seems that his soldiers are not lazy.

However, because the weather is too cold, the soldiers who were originally guarding the city are now all shrunk under the city wall, and there is no shortage of trees around Xi Pass, so there are many fires under the city wall for heating.

"Brother Di, it's freezing this day that even the Liao people don't want to attack the city, so you don't have to be too careful!" As soon as he entered the city tower, he saw Cao Tong greet him with a smile and said, this city tower is at the junction of their defense, so Di Qing and Cao Tong occasionally live here, and they can also observe the enemy outside the city from the city tower, which is very convenient.

"I'm not worried that the Liao army will attack the city, but I'm afraid that they will run away, after all, it's such a cold day, we are freezing in Xi Pass, not to mention the Liao army outside the city." Di Qing rubbed his frozen hands and came to Cao Tong, picked up the hot water in front of him and drank it all, and then he felt some heat on his body.

"Are you saying that the Liao army may retreat in these two days?" Cao Tong's eyes lit up when he heard Di Qing's words, he had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and he knew that Di Qing's vision was unique, far beyond their peers, and even General Liu Ping was full of praise for Di Qing, so he also believed in Di Qing's judgment very much.

"It is very likely that this little snow last night had no big impact at all, but the Liao army suddenly stopped attacking, and according to my observation, the morale of the Liao army has been exhausted in recent times, and the Liao army that comes to attack the city every day even needs to be forced to go to the battlefield by the supervising team, and in addition to this, I have a more important discovery!" Di Qing analyzed with bright eyes at this time.

"What discovery?" Cao Tong stood up excitedly and asked eagerly.

"The Liao army is out of food!" I saw Di Qing smile and smile.

"How can you be so sure?" Cao Tong couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Di Qing's words and asked, although they had long guessed that the Liao army was short of food and grass, but after all, there was no exact news, and no one knew the truth in the Liao army, but now looking at Di Qing's appearance, it seemed to be very certain, which made Cao Tong also very surprised.

"Hehe, of course I'm sure, because the food in the stomach of the Liao army is getting less and less, and even in the end, they simply go to the battlefield hungry, how much grain and grass do you say the Liao army can have?" Di Qing smiled smugly at this time.

"Hungry? How do you know...... Fuck you...... You won't be ......" Cao Tong was a little puzzled at this time, but then he reacted, and then pointed at Di Qing with a shocked face and said loudly.

"Yes, I want to know if the Liao army has grain and grass, don't you just cut open their stomachs?" Di Qing was very indifferent at this time, the Liao army would attack the city every day, and from time to time the Liao army would kill the city, but in the end it was besieged and killed by the Song army, and the corpses of these Liao troops were the best evidence, of course, ordinary people would not think of such a crazy and bold way.

"You...... You are very bold, and if this kind of thing gets out, I am afraid it will be bad for your reputation. Cao Tong also said with a frightened face at this time, although the two sides are enemies, but destroying corpses is not a good thing even in the army, maybe it will end up with a reputation for being brutal and unkind, and it will even affect future promotions.

"It's okay, I threw the corpses down the city, there is no way to find out, and I didn't tell anyone else about this except you." Di Qing said with a smile, he and Cao Tong have a deep friendship, so he is naturally not worried that the other party will betray him.

Seeing Di Qing trust him so much, Cao Tong was also a little moved, but thinking of the Liao army's running out of food and grass, this made him suddenly a little worried: "Brother Di, then should we tell General Liu about this matter, if General Liu doesn't know the news that the Liao army's grain and grass will run out, in case the Liao army suddenly retreats, our side may not be able to catch up?" ”

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, do you think I'm the only one in the army who can think of a way to open the stomach of the Liao army?" Di Qing heard Cao Tong's words, but smiled again.

"What do you mean, you mean General Liu ...... him" Cao Tong was shocked again when he heard this, but it seems normal to think about it carefully, Di Qing can think of others and can also think of it, not to mention that Liu Ping is an experienced veteran, don't look at his usual politeness, but in fact, he is more ruthless than anyone else on the battlefield.

"Brother Cao, General Liu, these people can be our bosses, so they naturally have their own merits, you must not underestimate them." Di Qing said this and smiled again, "Another little secret to tell you, a few days ago I found that someone secretly carried some of the corpses of the Liao army who died in battle to the city, as for the use, anyway, it must not be sent to the kitchen to make braised pork for us to eat!" ”

"Brother Di, what you said is too disgusting, but I really miss the braised pork of our martial arts, although I occasionally do it in the army, but the craftsmanship is too bad." Cao Tong couldn't help but laugh when he heard Di Qing's last joke, when they were studying martial arts together, the braised pork in the cafeteria was a most popular famous dish, and even Cao Tong, who had never liked to eat pork, changed his appetite for this.

"General, lunch has been delivered!" At this moment, a guard suddenly brought lunch to the two.

"What kind of rice?" Cao Tong happened to be a little hungry, so he asked casually.

"Braised pork!"

Cao Tong and Di Qing: "......"
