"It's cold!"

Wang Hou rubbed his hands vigorously, his face was red from the cold, and his ears were covered with chilblains. In three days, he rode hundreds of miles on horseback, and the oncoming wind whirled straight into his coat, making him cold enough.

"It's cold enough." Han Gang replied casually. He was wearing a double-layer leather jacket with a placket inside, and his exposed skin was smeared with oil, but he was not as cold as Wang Hou. Wang Hou also asked for himself, Han Gang asked him to get some mutton fat to rub on his ears, he was disgusting and refused to use it, and now when he ran outside, he froze out of trouble.

Wang Shao ignored the two juniors, he stood on the winding mountain road, looking down at the Wei River valley. Under the command of Wang Sunchen, a group of personal soldiers scattered around, carefully guarding Wang Shao.

For more than a month, Wang Sunchen and Zhao Long have been completely trusted by Wang Shao, and the strength of the two has also been transmitted to Wang Shao's ears through Wang Hou. Including Li Xin, who has just been appointed, three of the four generals around Wang Shao who are most valued by him are recommended by Han Gang.

Wang Shao is now selecting generals for the future march to Hehuang. Qin Fenglu, and even the famous generals of the Fourth Road in Kansai, he already knew it in his heart. However, these generals who were transferred from abroad were certainly not as easy to command as the officers who were hand-picked out. Wang Sunchen, Zhao Long, and Li Xin are not under Han Gang.

Below the Panshan Road is the ancient Wei Village. Its location is a wide valley sandwiched between the mountains, and it is also a rare piece of fertile soil in the upper reaches of Weishui. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, cities and states have been built here for more than 1,000 years, and there has never been any migration, which is naturally because of the superior geographical conditions here.

The frozen Wei River is white, but in the snow on both sides of the river, the frozen white is particularly conspicuous. The ice on the river is uneven, like a hill. It was the turbulent water that pushed each other when it froze, and it became what it is now. Due to the crushing and breaking of the ice surface, there are cracks everywhere in the ice, and if you walk on the ice, you will accidentally fall into the river under the ice.

And Guwei was built on the side of the Wei River.

Guwei, as the name suggests, is the ancient Weizhou. Unlike Weizhou, which is now located east of Qinzhou [now Pingliang, Gansu], Weizhou in the Sui and Tang dynasties is where Hangang now stands. During the Han and Jin dynasties, this place was called Xiangwu until the Sui and Tang dynasties, and it was also the location of Xiangwu County in Weizhou Prefecture. It's a pity that after the Anshi Rebellion, Tubo expanded and occupied this place and no longer belonged to the Han family. Since then, Weizhou's location has shifted five hundred li from west to east, which is the most powerful proof of the great decline in the power of the Han dynasty.

When viewed from above, the details of the terrain are blurred, but the whole picture can be seen. At least the ruins of Weizhou City in the Tang Dynasty, which cannot be distinguished in the river valley, can be seen clearly on the winding mountain road. The walls of the ancient Weizhou city have been completely destroyed, but the city foundation is still very conspicuous even if it is hidden in the snow. The big city that is six or seven miles long is much more majestic than the ancient Wei village not far away. It's a pity that hundreds of years ago, the bustling state city, the street market where people of all races flocked to it, now only a remnant remains.

Coming down from the winding mountain road, a group of soldiers and horses came head-on, and Yang Ying, who led the way in the front, was a villager brought by Wang Shao from De'an, and was also his close confidant, and he made up an archer commander who did not hold a substantive position in the Economic Strategy Division. And following behind, leading a team of cavalry was Qin Fengxilu, who was stationed in Guwei Village, and he also served as the master of Guwei Village.

"Liu Changzuo has seen Jiyi."

The West Road that I met by Wang Shao's side was inspected, and his tall figure was a standard Northland man. The appearance is not handsome, the lines are cold, but it is very masculine. He was wearing a coat that was much thinner than Han Gang, Wang Hou and the others, and he had no intention of shrinking in the cold wind, and his sturdy figure was revealed.

Liu Changzuo should be over forty years old, a little older than Wang Shao, but he can't see it from his appearance. His father Liu He died in the battle of Dingchuan Village 20 years ago, so he was sealed by the shadow and was recorded as the right Bandian of Zhengjiupin, in charge of Weiyuan Village. Liu Changzuo has been in the border for 20 years, accumulating meritorious deeds, and now he has just been promoted to the inner temple chongban, and he is of the same rank as Wang Shao. However, because of the difference between civil and military, he had to bow his head in front of Wang Shao.

Seeing a longbow on the mount behind Liu Changzuo, Wang Sunchen was a little eager to try. It was a giant bow that was famous for Qin Feng and was more than four feet long. It is said that the strength is as much as three stones, and the long arrow attached to the bow is also specially made, with a diameter of about half an inch, and it is nearly half longer than an ordinary two-foot arrow. When Liu Changzuo pulled his giant bow to the full, the distance between the bowstring and the bow arm could only be matched by such a long arrow.

It is said that it is impossible for a four-foot-long giant bow to open on a horse, but Liu Changzuo is famous for his archery skills and Qin Feng can do it. It is said that when he rode and arched, he could even shoot arrows a hundred paces away, and he could pierce a war horse with an arrow. When the Tibetan people picked up the arrows he shot, they took them home and offered them to them, thinking that they were divine arrows.

Liu Changzuo and Wang Shao saluted each other and met Wang Hou again. When he arrived at Han Gang's side and heard his common name, Liu Changzuo's body shook slightly, and his brows unconsciously raised. Han Gang's reputation is loud enough on Qinfeng Road, so that Xiang Bao has a bitter and unspeakable character, and he can destroy a Tibetan tribe and a wealthy family with his fingers, Liu Changzuo has already heard of it. He arched his hand to Han Gang: "Han Fugou." "The expression is not very affectionate, Xiang Bao is his top boss, and he doesn't dare to get too close to Han Gang.

After a little pacification, the envoy was on official business, and it was Han Gang's scheduled dispatch. The recommendation of Wang Shao, Wu Yan and Zhang Shouyue has been approved, and Han Gang's appointment came down half a month ago. Fu Gou is the abbreviation of Jing Liu's appeasement of Si Gou's official business, just like Wang Shao's Guan Gou Ji Yi text, which can be referred to as Ji Yi and Shuai Ji. It's just that Han Gang always thinks that this abbreviation is as ridiculous as the abbreviation of Shanghai Crane Factory and Zigong Brake Factory.

Han Gang returned the salute deeply and said, "The student has not yet received the official letter issued by Liu Neiquan, so he should not be called the governor." Please also call Han Gang's real name. ”

Liu Changzuo nodded, turned to Wang Shao and said, "The time is right, the last general is ready in the camp." It's freezing cold, so please go to camp early to rest. ”

"It's all about patrolling." Wang Shao thanked him and walked side by side with Liu Changzuo. Han Gang and the others followed, and the group went to the ancient Wei village.

When the Chinese New Year is approaching, of course Wang Shao will not come without incident, but his intentions are not in Guwei, but in Qinzhou. The news of Gu Wei's ascension to the army has been secretly released, and it will soon reach Li Shizhong's ears. Of course, he got to go to Guwei Village in order to win the trust of Li Shizhong.

Officialdom is indispensable, and it is indispensable to compete for merit and blame. In today's situation, Wang Shao has Li Shizhong in the middle of the constraints, and the opening of the river has never opened. There is no merit to be contested, but it must be blamed. Speaking loudly and making the Son of Heaven wait, Wang Shao is unwilling to bear this crime, and he can't bear it. Han Gang's strategy for Wang Shao was to let Emperor Zhao Ji understand who was making trouble for Hehuang's strategy.

There is no point in attacking Li Shizhong in the bullet chapter, and the weight of the words is always much heavier than the words of the time. Therefore, it is the best strategy to let Li Shizhong pop out and show Zhao Ji by himself. From Gu Wei to build the army, retreat to Tuntian City, and then retreat to Tuntian or City, as long as Li Shizhong's attitude of not giving up a step is in front of the Son of Heaven, who can blame Wang Shao for not moving for a year? If Li Shizhong took any step back in it, it would be Wang Shao's thoughts.

To be honest, to be able to come up with such a strategy to put the opponent in a dilemma, Wang Shao felt that Han Gang was more like an old official who had been up and down in the sea for many years than him.

However, in order to let Li Shizhong take the bait, he must be convinced that Qin Feng's Jinglu driver Yiwen sincerely wants to set up an army in Guwei. Now it's almost time to send the king of the stove, and the New Year will be celebrated in six or seven days. At this time, he was still running to Guwei, no matter how shrewd Li Shizhong was, no matter how suspicious he was, he would definitely not doubt Wang Shao's true intentions.

It's time for a showdown. Walking by Liu Changzuo's side, Wang Shao made up his mind.

……………………

The wind rattled the doors and windows, and the snowflakes were swept by the wind and crept into the house through the cracks in the doors, and the flames in the brazier in the house were so crushed by the wind that they only danced on the surface of the charcoal, and could not give off the slightest warmth.

Originally, Wang Shao planned to stay in Guwei for two days and then rushed back to Qinzhou. You can return home before Chinese New Year's Eve. But a snowstorm suddenly interrupted his plan to return and had to stay in Guwei Village temporarily.

Wang Hou hugged the brazier, his hands almost stretched into the center of the brazier, the southerners were afraid of the cold, especially Wang Hou. During his years in Kansai, he was most afraid of winter. His two eyes swayed from side to side with Han Gang, who was pacing back and forth in the room, and what made him angry the most was that when Han Gang was pacing, he was still holding a scroll of poetry that he had brought with him at some point and was reading silently.

"It looks like it's going to be a Chinese New Year here. Yukun, don't shake it, look dizzy! ”

Han Gang said with a smile: "I have nothing to do, I only have to read to kill time." He looked at Wang Hou who was curled up by the brazier, and said, "It's better for you to get up and take a walk, it will be colder to sit." ”

Wang Hou stood up, walked back and forth in the room like Han Gang, walked a few steps, and complained without words: "This Liu Changzuo is really annoying, Yukun, you are kind enough to help him treat his injuries, he is good, hum Ha Lu Ha Otherwise, there is something to do. ”

"He's also afraid of Xiang Bao, let's wait until he comes down! Then I'll be able to do something. Wang Shao was resting in the back room, and Liu Changzuo was on guard against himself, Han Gang had nothing to do, and he could only study.

During the New Year, we should worship the heavens and worship our ancestors. But being blocked in the barracks by a blizzard, no one cares about these etiquettes. There are no firecrackers, no fireworks, in the sound of wind and snow, the second year of Xining is about to come to an end, and the third year of Xining will soon come.

Listening to the commotion in the barracks outside, Han Gang put down the scroll in his hand and pushed open the door. A gust of cold wind swept into the house, causing Wang Hou to scream from the cold. In front of others, Wang Hou has always been strict and polite, and his personality is solemn and serious. It's just that when you get acquainted with Han Gang, you will reveal your true temperament.

Han Gang smiled slightly and walked into the courtyard outside. I don't know when, the clouds have cleared and the snow has dispersed, and the stars have shone again in the sky. Han Gang stood in the courtyard, looking up to the sky, the deep sky dome had endless mystery. Looking up at the sky, I was excited. In a few hours, it will be a new year, the first he has spent in this era. I don't know if my parents and Yun Niang are also looking up at the same sky hundreds of miles away, and I don't know if my relatives who stay in the other world can also see the same starry sky.

When Wang Shao came out, he was looking at Han Gang alone in the courtyard, and a sense of alienation from the independence of the world shrouded him, and his expression was a little lonely, and he didn't know why he was sad. Han Gang offers advice, his wrist is old and spicy, and he calculates people's hearts step by step. Although he was helping himself, Wang Shao secretly had some scruples. It's just that now looking at Han Gang looking at the sad appearance, Wang Shao's mood couldn't help but relax, thinking that he might be homesick.

'After all, it's still a young man......'

ps: Liu Changzuo appeared, in the Western Army, he is one of the few capable generals. It's a pity that there is no boss luck.

Today's second update, ask for red tickets, collect.
