Chapter 145: Warm Cotton Clothes

【145】

Hanoi County, the camp of the White Polish Army, the big tent of the Chinese Army.

The lights were dim, Liu Wei paced back and forth anxiously in the tent, this time he wanted to go out in person, but was unanimously opposed by Xu Huang, Qu A and others, the Black Mountain Army is not as good as the White Wave Army, the White Wave Army is a real rabble, and although Guo Da has a reputation, he is not obvious.

But the Black Mountain Army has been crisscrossing the Taihang Mountains for many years, and most of its soldiers are the elites who survived the big riot that year, all of them are amazing in combat effectiveness, and his father Emperor Ling Emperor was helpless in his heyday, so he could only recruit An Na to surrender, let alone him?

Of course, it is precisely because of this that Liu Wei is restless, Xu Huang's personal ability is beyond doubt, and Zhang Yan cannot surpass Xu Huang in terms of force or commander attributes, this is nothing to worry about, the only thing he is worried about is the two thousand soldiers as the main force.

A few months ago, when the Xiongnu Yufu Luo was fighting, Liu Wei had seen the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of Huai County and Hanoi County, to be honest, it was not much higher than the combat effectiveness of the Baibo Army.

A heavy footstep woke up Liu Wei, who was contemplating, and the figure flashed, and Qu A's tall figure had already appeared in the tent, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Concubine Tang is here!" ”

"Well, let Tang Ji in." Liu Wei bowed his head slightly, and suddenly raised his head again and said: "If Tang Ji comes in the military camp in the future, there is no need to report~"

"No!" Qu'a took the order and left.

"Husband~"

The curtain fell, blocking the cold out of the tent, the fire in the tent was melting, warm as spring, Tang Ji smiled, holding a bowl of meat soup to Liu Wei and said softly: "Husband, the concubine saw that her husband didn't sleep late at night, so she boiled a bowl of meat soup, and the husband opened it and ate it while it was hot." ”

Liu Wei took the meat soup, put it on the low table, and gently hugged Tang Ji's soft delicate body into his arms with his long arms, and said with love in his eyes: "It's hard to love the concubine." ”

To tell the truth, Tang Ji is really the kind of woman who is really cherished, the weak and soft delicate body unique to the Jiangnan region makes him feel pity from the bottom of his heart, but that bold and strong heart makes him admire from the bottom of his heart, and the two are combined to create Tang Ji's unique temperament.

Tang Ji shook his head, looked up lightly, stared at Liu Wei softly with beautiful eyes, and said in a low voice: "The concubine is not bitter, but the husband is bitter." ”

After a pause, Tang Ji then said softly: "Husband, the concubine doesn't know anything about military affairs, but the concubine knows that whether it is a soldier in the army or all kinds of talents, it is all based on the husband as the cohesive force, so once the husband is in good health, then everything that the husband has worked hard to build will disappear in an instant~"

Liu Wei's chin lightly rested against Tang Ji's cheek, if he cares about his woman as his wife, what more can a husband ask for? For the sake of Tang Ji, for the sake of the Queen Mother, and for the sake of the Han Empire, he secretly vowed that he would sweep away the universe and establish a new Han Dynasty.

"By the way, how about the Helpless Girl?" Liu Wei let go of Tang Ji and asked in a condensed voice, "Did the girl say anything?" ”

"The concubine body has often gone to the Wuyi girl recently, although she has a very good personal relationship with the Wuyi girl, but whenever she talks about the things her husband commands, the Wuyi immediately keeps silent, and the concubine can't force each other..." It's based on...."

"It doesn't matter, I will never spit out easily." Liu Wei wiped the sparkle from the corner of Tang Ji's eyes, shook his head and said: "Lone let Concubine Ai go, but also with the attitude of giving it a try, if you don't succeed, you will return in vain." It's getting late, love the concubine, let's go back and rest first~"

Tang Ji bowed his head lightly and said softly: "In this case, the concubine will retire first, and the husband will rest earlier." ”

Watching Tang Ji's figure disappear into the darkness, Liu Wei's gentle face gradually became solemn, the death of the Spirit Emperor, Dong Chi's interrogation before his death, and the mysterious token, all of these were constantly circling in his mind, and he always felt that there were inextricable links in them.

Thinking of this, Liu Wei said in a deep voice: "Qu Ah! ”

Qu A, who was guarding in front of the tent, immediately dodged in, clenched his fists and said, "The last general, what does Your Highness command?" ”

"Go with the lonely to meet the helpless girl~"

Liu Wei said in a deep voice, opened the curtain of the tent, and the howling and cold wind blew into the tent, which made Liu Wei couldn't help but shiver, the goose feather snow was falling tightly, and after a night's work, the entire camp had been covered in silver makeup and bleached for thousands of miles.

Liu Wei took Qu A and a few personal soldiers to walk towards the camp where Wuyi was, and along the way, he saw patrol soldiers and night vigil soldiers standing like javelins in various important places, covered with thick snow, although the spirit was good, but the whole person was frozen like a popsicle.

"Have you ever sent anything in the army to protect against the cold?" Liu Wei wrapped his clothes hard, resisted the cold wind that drilled at the cracks, and turned his head to Gao Qu and asked.

According to historical records, during the period of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, paid tribute to the Han Emperor Kapok tree, "one zhang and two feet high, one book and three Ke, and the night scene is about to burn."

The kapok tree is two or three zhang high, cut like paulownia wood, and the flowers in February and March are both thanks, and the core is cotton. Cantonese people use kapok as cotton wool, make cotton clothes, quilts, pillows, and weave them into blankets, which are as white as snow and extremely warm.

In this era, all cotton refers to kapok, and as for the introduction of cotton into China, it should be after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but Liu Wei has a system in hand, of course, he also needs to have money, and everything can be exchanged in advance.

"Not yet, there is a great shortage of materials in the army, and there are far from enough things to keep out the cold." Qu A shook his head, thought about it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, some people complained about the hardships of training after the reform of His Highness's army, but now they are looking forward to training without stopping every day. ”

"This is an unexpected joy~" Liu Wei bowed his head slightly, but this is not the right way after all, you can rely on training to generate a lot of heat during the day, but what about the night, and what if you fight? Without cotton clothes, the army's combat effectiveness can be left with two achievements.

"Your Highness~ The camp where the girl is located has arrived!"

Gao Qu's voice interrupted Liu Bian's contemplation, and unconsciously, Liu Bian and the others had already come to the big tent where Wu Yi was, looked around, but saw that the four fields were dark, only two dark torches were inserted ten steps away in front of the tent, igniting the flickering firelight, and the goose feather snow in the sky fell on the torches, turning into steam in an instant~

"See Your Highness!" The four soldiers who were holding weapons and were responsible for guarding in front of the tent immediately clenched their fists and said in a deep voice when they saw Liu Wei's figure.

"Excuse me!"

Liu Wei bowed his head slightly, and his eyes fell on the bodies of the four guards, but he saw that a thick layer of snow fell on the four of them, like snowmen, as soon as they moved, the snow fell down sprinkled, and it was obvious that the four of them were loyal to their duties, guarding in front of the tent, and never moved.
