Chapter 225: The Beginning of Heavy Snow and Winter
Chen Baichuan stood beside the solemn and martial stone lion at the gate, and he looked up at the sky. The sky www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion is gray, and when you look up, your vision is separated from the depressed sun by a thin layer of clouds.
The wind blowing from nowhere around broke into the collar of the cuffs, Chen Baichuan couldn't help but tighten his clothes, and after telling Lin Jiu to get a cotton coat and come out, he hid from the wind behind the stone lion.
The weather seemed to be getting worse and worse, Chen Baichuan said with a wry smile: "It looks like it's going to rain, just now I should have asked Lin Jiu to come out with his clothes, and I should have asked him to go more." ”
He kept looking at the sky, and the gray color became more and more solemn, and there was no improvement.
The weather is getting cooler by the day, and it seems that winter is about to officially begin. Thankfully, according to the Provincial Chronicles of Daling Province, it doesn't snow much in this land.
Even in a particularly cold year, there are only a few perfunctory snowflakes.
Chen Baichuan speculated that it was probably because of the proximity of Daling Province to the sea, and the blue sea adjusted the climate with its wide waters.
"My lord, I've brought the cotton clothes."
Lin Jiu's voice came from behind him, Chen Baichuan looked back, Lin Jiu's breath turned into a white mist when he spoke, and he was holding a black cotton coat that would definitely look bloated when he wore it.
"It's not that I asked you to take the one you wore to the banquet the day before yesterday, this one shouldn't have been taken by the wrong person, I haven't seen it." Chen Baichuan said dissatisfiedly, he didn't want to wrap himself in a big dumpling. After all, it is the nature of a teenager, and it is not happy to wear too heavy clothes and ride a horse.
Lin Jiu didn't have the slightest displeasure to be blamed on his face, he took out a free hand, touched the cotton hat on the top of his head and smiled innocently, and said, "It's the little housewife who made you a new shirt, she said that when she was shopping, she heard someone say that it was going to get cold this year." The little housewife is worried that you have a cold. ”
"Still need you to explain?" Chen Baichuan gave him a blank look and took the cotton coat that was extraordinarily thick before he was even up.
After putting it on, there was a warmth on his body, I don't know if it was the warmth of the cotton clothes or the warmth in his heart. He exhaled a long breath pleasantly, and the white mist that erupted solidified in mid-air for a long time before dissipating.
There is this cotton coat in the winter cold, and it is no problem to spend it safely. Chen Baichuan thought to himself: "It's becoming more and more like a little housewife." ”
If the person in the house heard this, should she cry or laugh? Chen Baichuan had no way of knowing, because he suddenly heard an exclamation.
Lin Jiu suddenly exclaimed, "It's snowing." ”
Chen Baichuan didn't look over his head, and a thin layer of snowflakes accumulated on the top of the stone lion's head behind him. Reaching out, the palm of his hand just caught a piece.
The feeling of cool silk stimulates the palms of his hands, Chen Baichuan feels this coolness, but he can't say the taste in his heart. He looked up, and the snowflakes were no longer alone, and the swan feathers poured down from the gray sky.
After a while, there were probably a lot of snowflakes on his head.
"Let's go back to Fuzhong first." Chen Baichuan said this helplessly, this snow came too suddenly.
Lin Jiu, who was so cold that his nose bubbled, saw that it was snowing heavily, and of course he didn't want to go out of the city to Longxing, and when he heard that Chen Baichuan had changed his mind, he also replied happily: "I'll help you in." ”
Chen Baichuan said speechlessly: "I'm not weak enough to need your support to walk." ”
After Lin Jiu took on the burden of the housekeeper, he was a lot more sleek after all, and he patted his ass and said, "This is because you are noble." ”
Chen Baichuan said angrily: "Come on, you." ”
The master and servant entered the door laughing and laughing, and the fire had already burned in the house, and it was comfortable to be able to roast hands by the fire on a cold day.
The first snow of the winter did not stop with the departure of the master and servant, and when they left, the snow outside the gate was covered with snow, and the people cursed and hid in their homes. Fortunately, now that they are rich, the family will not freeze to death in heavy snow, at most they will have to live a more restrained life.
Heavy snow with endless whiteness swept across the entire Daling Province. And the first snow staged in Daling Province is similar in other places.
The country of Chen was shrouded in snow and became a country in ice.
Chen Baichuan spread out his hands and sat on the edge of the fire, and said worriedly: "I don't know what the situation is on the front line, it is snowing on our side, and it is estimated that it will snow more first in Anling Province." ”
The doors and windows were closed, for fear that the north wind, mixed with snow and ice, would find a crack to slip in.
Wu Datou was also roasting on the edge of the fire, Rao was twice his waist circumference equivalent to ordinary people, and he still couldn't resist the winter cold. The look on his face was also worried, and Wu Datou said, "I'm also worried that our side is cold like this." ”
He held his head and said more: "Don't let you send a few more boatloads of supplies?" ”
Chen Baichuan shook his head and said: "In this kind of weather, the sea route can barely walk, I am afraid that the river will be blocked by heavy snow, and the boat can only send things to the coast." When you get there, if you use a man to carry it, the distance will be even greater. ”
"Then directly recruit the people, or call the officers and soldiers to escort them?"
Chen Baichuan's answer was still shaking his head, he sighed and said: "Originally, the land route was not very smooth, and now it is cold and snowy, if you take the land route, I don't know what year and month it will be able to deliver." The soldiers are so fast, I don't know how many soldiers will be frostbitten by then. ”
Wu Datou was a little anxious: "This is not good, I don't believe that, do we have to watch the brothers suffer from the cold?" ”
Chen Baichuan has no clue yet, so he can only say: "Let me think about it again." Thankfully, those Qingguo's soldiers are definitely more afraid of the cold than our children. I just don't know who Qingguo's general is this time, and whether he has enough clothes or not. ”
The two worried guys stayed in the same room and shared each other's worries, and the ending was of course even more worried.
It's just that they are people outside chess after all, and Chen Baili, who is on the big chessboard of the battle between the two soldiers, is even more worried in his heart.
This heavy snowfall has made the already unoptimistic situation in Anling Province even worse. The soldiers have changed into cotton clothes escorted by the people, but the large number of consumables in the cold winter, such as kerosene and firewood, have not yet been solved.
This is not the first time he has led his troops to fight in the snow, but the scale before was far less large than this time, and in his prediction, this confrontation with Qingguo is estimated to drag on for three and five years.
He had read the practices of his predecessors recorded in the book, and in four words, he could summarize them as "ignore them".
Or rather, none of them came up with a better way to solve the problem, so the soldiers had to go back to the camp and live in a cold, leaky house, eating dry cold food.
Chen Baili could only pin his hopes on that almost omnipotent younger brother, he repaired a book and ordered a messenger to send a messenger thousands of miles to expedite.
"It's cold, it's cold, and the fuel is gone. The tent is like an open air, and the fingers are not allowed to bend or stretch out. (To be continued.) )
