In the military camp tent in Dongyang Beiku, all the generals and officers have arrived, this time Ouyang Xuan has prepared a lot of chairs, and now the temperature outside has dropped to about minus 20 degrees, but he doesn't want them to sit on the ground. The chair existed in the Western Han Dynasty, and it was given by the emperor to the elderly over 80 years old, the most famous of which was the chair given by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Prime Minister Sun Hong, and it was also one of the two prime ministers who died well during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. These chairs are all Ouyang Xuan's soldiers who know how to carpenter in the army, and the backrest chairs made of wood are temporary, although they are crude, they are better than sitting on the ground on a cold day.

Outside the tent, there was already heavy snowfall, not snow flakes, but snow balls, listening to the sound of snow balls hitting the top of the tent, everyone here held their breath and quietly listened to the movement outside. They had never seen such snow, but Ouyang Xuan had experienced it twice, so it was no wonder. "Can the military tents be reinforced?" Ouyang Xuan spoke for a long time. Lang swore to get up and said: "Back to the general, according to the general's order, all the camp tents have been strengthened by tree trunks, and clay wood stoves have been temporarily built in the tents for heating. But is it appropriate for this subordinate to be so kind? ”。“ Is there enough food to meet the needs of the camp? Are these family members all Wu Chu people? ”。 Ouyang Xuan asked a little unpleasantly. "The food and materials are enough for millions of soldiers for a year, and the families of those soldiers are all in the land of Wu Chu." Seeing that Ouyang Xuan was a little unhappy, Lang Xuan hurriedly said. "Food and grass are sufficient, and there are no worries, why not treat them well? People who are both heaven and earth, how can they be high and low. If there are no common people, how can you be rich? People cannot take the good as small and fail to do it, and they cannot take the evil as small and do it. Human nature is good, and fame, fortune, wealth and wealth are ruined. In the future, the generals under our command will not abuse or kill enemy prisoners without affecting the marching operations, and if they are harmful to the marching operations, they will let them go. Otherwise, there will be no forgiveness". Ouyang Xuan said fiercely. "The subordinates obey the general's teachings", all the generals got up and replied, especially the newly surrendered general of the Wu army. Ouyang Xuan believes in a sentence: Those who come out to mix will have to pay back sooner or later, the reason is clear, the cycle repeats, the retribution is unpleasant, and the murderer will eventually be killed. The most typical is the political food chain at the turn of the Qin and Han dynasties, starting from Han Fei at the end of the Warring States Period, through Li Si - Hu Hai - Zhao Gao - Ziying - Xiang Yu - Han Xin - Lu Pheasant. A political food chain in Chinese history lasted for more than a hundred years, until the early Han Dynasty, when it finally subsided.

"It's really God help my Han room, this time the snow is frozen, the Wu Chu soldiers under Tian Lubo have no food and no capital, and less than one of the ten people who can survive, life, after the snow stops, the whole army clears the snow and moves forward for a hundred miles, clean up the mess, prepare more mattresses, jackets, and cook some soup." "The subordinates received the order", and the generals got up and handed over. "Well, I hope it won't be a human tragedy. Camping in the wilderness in the harsh winter, I don't know what this General Tian thinks, if there is nothing else to discuss, let's retreat and prepare."

Ouyang Xuan got up and walked out of the camp with everyone, the heavy snow outside was almost knee-thick, and he raised his hand to look at the watch, the temperature was already minus 28 degrees. "Pity the people of Jianghuai, they have suffered from the military disaster, and they will suffer from this natural disaster. Order, Yulin army from now on, cut firewood overnight, ensure that the stove in the tent, distribute firewood and charcoal from house to house, first can be the poor people's home, Yulin army all night with minced meat soup food, prepare for the snow after the war." "No, the subordinates receive the order", Lang Oath, Zhang Jian and Zhao Zhou came out at the same time in response to the promise.

"The snow is like a mountain and a stone hide, and the mist covers the river belt. The vast world is covered with silver sand, and the white silk is paved with poverty and coldness. The bones of the thatched hut are frosty like snow, and the warm skin of Zhumen is like paper." Ouyang Xuan looked at the white world and couldn't help but chant this poem. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. The main book and Sima are similar to each other in writing on bamboo slips. "Hu, such rhetoric, in the next admiration, but a little change is more exquisite." "Haha, Sima Zhi doesn't know what word to change?" Spread the ice and you can do it". "Haha, okay, just change that. The abbreviation made the master book and engaged in laughter".

The snow is still falling, and the white wolf brothers and sisters have been a little restless since they came back, and they should be their favorite to the snow, and now they seem to be in awe. I went back to the tent, turned out my guitar, and played a few soothing tunes to relax the white wolf's nerves. Wait until they are asleep, and then go to the camps to check on them. It was late at night, the snow was nearly a meter thick, and there was still no tendency to decrease, and the north wind was blowing on the face, like a knife cut, and it was very difficult to walk. Although some soldiers kept cleaning, they still couldn't stop the overwhelming snow. I made a round and told the details again before I went back to sleep.

When I woke up, it was already the middle of the day. Hurry up and wash up, out of the tent, the snow is already a lot smaller, but it is also goose feathers, and the visibility is less than 100 meters. The snow was already more than a person high in the uncleaned area, and the temperature remained at minus 20 degrees. The lieutenants reported that there was no frostbite in the battalions and no collapse in the barracks. The households of the collapsed houses have been arranged above the city tower, in the county government hall. "When the house is insufficient, you can dig a snow hole for a while, open a granary, boil some porridge and rice, and send it to the victims." "No"

The snow fell heavily for two days before stopping. The heavy snow was beyond Ouyang Xuan's imagination, and the snow depth in the place that had not been cleaned was already the top of the tent. In this era, the snow disaster should not be called a disaster in this place, it is all self-sufficient family production, except for the common people in the city, other food does not need to be purchased, as long as the house does not collapse and does not freeze to death, there is no problem. After the strong cold air, the temperature rises, and the snow naturally melts. Except for some problems with spring sowing, there is no major problem. Therefore, in the local annals of many local counties, it is only recorded that "the first month of the third year of Emperor Jing's reign was ugly, and the snow was heavy, and the house was thick". If this snow had happened in a nomadic tribe, it would definitely be the biggest natural disaster. Cattle and sheep were buried in the snow and froze to death, resulting in a lack of food, which is called horror. The reason why the Northern Xiongnu were defeated in the hands of Wei Qing was because the snow disaster in the previous year reduced the population by half, so they had to take the royal court to the north, and when they were relieved, they had the Beiting to go south, and the Three Kingdoms period ravaged the north, and even captured Cai Yan. At that time, the slogan was "forget the Han people, when waiting for the Han to fill it", the Huns who went south finally integrated into the local area after a hundred years of founding the country, and now most of the genes of the yellow body hair of the high nose bridge in Shanxi, Hebei and Shaanxi come from this, the difference between the Huns and the Han people is that they have deep eye sockets, high nose bridge, black hair, and yellow body hair (don't ask me where I came from, find history books to read by yourself). The defeat of the Turks was similar, both due to snowstorms. It seems that Tian Lubo is also going to be defeated under this heavy snow today, and he doesn't know how he will survive these two days with the shortage of food and materials.

Ordered Lang to take the Yulin army to dig snow and clear the road in the direction of Tian Lubo's military camp, and Zhang Jian and Zhao Zhou led the Yulin army to eradicate the snow in the city. It's also quite a bit of physical work. It took three days to do it, and the Yulin Army cleaned up quite quickly, clearing out a snow road ten zhang wide and ninety miles wide in three days. The reason why it is called a snow road is because after leaving the city gate, instead of cleaning, the snow is compacted with a shield to make a snow road. The flags of Wu Chu's military camp could already be seen in the distance, and the others were all white. Ouyang Xuan asked each soldier to dye the transparent sheep intestine coat, and then use bamboo strips to weave a glasses frame, and cover the dyed sheep intestine to serve as sunglasses. Although it affects vision very much, it is better than suffering from snow blindness. The army is all in the city, there are city walls and trees, the possibility of suffering from snow blindness is very small, unlike this wilderness, all lakes, there is no interference color, it is strange if there is no snow blindness.

The soldiers continued to press the snow forward, the snow had stopped for four days, the temperature had risen to minus six or seven degrees, the sun was in the sky, and the reflection of the snow surface was very strong. For the rest of the ten miles, Ouyang Xuan carried the polarizer he brought in later life, holding a knife in his left hand and a well-wound crossbow in his right hand, riding a horse in the front. The ten-mile road was quickly cleared, and it was only a hundred steps away from the Wu Chu military camp, and it was quiet inside, and only one of the camp gates was left exposed. The entire camp tent was buried under the snow, and the snow in the camp was lower than the surrounding area, apparently cleared. Let the soldiers continue to clean up, and dig up the snow at the camp gate, under which are buried four Wu soldiers on duty, who have died. There were also more than 20 Wu soldiers on the gatehouse on both sides, all of whom were frozen to death, and they were all wearing ordinary linen jackets, which were actually stuffed with twine, reeds, wool, and short hay between the two layers of linen. There are also soldiers who are covered with a thick layer of linen. Unlike the Yulin Army, which are all sheepskin jackets, Ouyang Xuan asked the army to exercise a lot of Qingxue, but he was also afraid that they would freeze to death in thin clothes. There were less than 30,000 sheepskin jackets in the storeroom, and they were all given to the guards on duty.

Continuing to move forward to clear the snow, the first thing he dug was the sentry tent near the gate, and the moment he opened the tent door, many soldiers behind Ouyang Xuan opened their mouths and vomited. It was so miserable that there were 50 bones in the entire tent, of which more than 30 had only bone frames left in their lower limbs, and more than 20 of them still had blood on the corners of their mouths. Don't think about it, it must be the remaining twenty or so people who ate the corpse of the dead robe, and finally froze to death. Due to the snow cover, the temperature was more than ten degrees lower than outside, and the tent on the opposite side was basically the same, and more than 20 tents were dug in a row, and they were all miserable. There were also traces of charcoal burning in each tent, but it was obviously not well prepared, and after the snow closed the door, the charcoal was still burned, resulting in carbon monoxide poisoning and finally death. Unlike Ouyang Xuan's order to clear the snow in time, a mud stove was used to ensure ventilation and other measures. Ouyang Xuan didn't let the other tents dig anymore, and went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army, which was easy to recognize, and there was a pole to put the flag outside the door.

When Ouyang Xuan pushed open the door of the Chinese military tent, there was a sword coming inside, and he hurriedly separated it with a knife, and the back of the knife was obliquely reversed, and it smashed heavily on the attacker, Ouyang Xuan didn't want to kill again, it should be miserable enough, and finally there was a living person who had to be kept. The soldiers in the back immediately entered the account and captured the attacker, who was lying on his back. There were four men in the tent, all of whom were lying on sheepskin mattresses. The brazier in the house had long since been extinguished, and there was only a little bit of ash. If they weren't wearing leather jackets, they would probably have frozen to death. "Hurry up and make a fire and make soup."

After a while, the Yulin soldiers demolished the gate and collected a lot of wood, but they couldn't get dirt, so they could only open the door and burn charcoal pots. The cook hurriedly made a pot of mutton soup, soaked it in dry cakes, scooped four bowls and poured it down for the four people. "Gather all the troops and continue digging up the tents. Pay attention to precautions, and if there is a person who eats people, kill them".

Ouyang Xuan sat behind the main desk, and the four living people were placed on both sides of the brazier in the middle, and after drinking the soup and cakes, they were obviously in good spirits. "I am waiting for Ouyang Shixuan, the general of Zhenbei and the general of Zhengnan and the general of Yulin, what do you call you?"

An old man wearing a fur robe, a silk scarf, gray hair, a square face, big eyes and a nose got up, straightened his coat and reluctantly got up and said: "Old man, the former general of the Eastern Emperor's frame, Tian Shi Lubo, the rest are the general's guards."

"Don't wait for the Eastern Emperor, he has been starved of food for many days, and he will be defeated in a few days, and there is only one death. You're waiting for this time, but you're here to grab the grain and protect the warehouse, right? It's a pity that the sky doesn't allow you, such a heavy snow and high cold, destroying the army of 100,000 elite Wu Chu, can you accept your fate? If the sky changes and it is too late, there is no reason to be invincible." "If you are defeated by the sky, you will not be convinced. It's just that I can't imagine that if I wait for the lone army to drive Wu Chu to the rear, I am not afraid of cutting off the back road? ”。

"When I came, I didn't think about the back road, the back road is nothing more than food and grass, 10,000 people on foot, marching on a carriage, strong mobility, and there is still wealth for 200 people a day. The amount of grain and grass is sufficient for a month, not to mention the interception of your grain and other grain routes, and Beiku."

"I admired the courage of Hu Hou and rode in the end. It's a pity that the Eastern Emperor didn't listen to the old man's words and forced Chang'an without opening his way. The only one to enter Chang'an, cut off its food, and be undefeated. Alas, alas, alas, alas".

"Haha, even if there is another road, such heavy snow and high cold, Wu Chu's rear is still not guaranteed."

"Alas, the destiny of heaven, the old man admits it."

"Come on, bring General Tian back to the camp, and treat him well. The Snow Queen and the young son of King Wu were escorted to Chang'an". "No", the guards outside the door responded to the promise.

In the afternoon, the army also participated in the excavation army. After three days of cleaning, the temperature returned to above freezing, and the snow gradually melted. Sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army of the Wu-Chu coalition army, listening to the oath of Lang and the report of the main book. Of the 100,000 troops, less than 2,000 survived, and none of the horses survived. "The master ordered the army to wish people to do things. General Lang ordered people to bury the soldiers of the Wu army who died in battle according to the etiquette system. Be fast and avoid plagues." "No".

When Ouyang Xuan read the history books before, he didn't understand why Zhou Yafu robbed the grain road with light soldiers and did not destroy the warehouse. Why did Wu Jun run out of grain, the grain route can not only be transported through Surabaya, but also through Shandong. The location of the granary recorded in the history books is nearly 300 miles away from the location intercepted by Zhou Yafu, Surabaya enters Huaikou (near Huai'an), and Dongyang granary (now Maba Town, Xuyi County) is 300 miles away, on the east bank of the Huai River, there are basically two directions, and there are also four granaries recorded in the local chronicles of Wu State, Ouyang Xuan only intercepted two, one of which is still a grain road. After cutting off the Surabaya grain road, you can go to Peiguo and send grain through Chu, and at that time this area was still in the hands of Zhouqiu, and you can also raise grain to supply the Wu-Chu coalition army. In addition, it is completely possible to send troops back to protect the food without running out of food. And the general who finally led this light army did not become a marquis, which made people very incomprehensible, and in the end, the king of Wu was defeated and did not return to Wu, but crossed the river to Dongou through Chu to bypass Wu. Now that it is solved, a heavy snowfall has completely cut off the grain route, and it has also buried Zhou Yafu's army, which advanced lightly. If Ouyang Xuan hadn't noticed it early, he would have frozen to death like returning to help Wu Jun. A few words in the local chronicles are the culprits that led to the fiasco of the Seven Kingdoms, and it seems that Zhou Yafu concealed this situation and invited credit.

Thinking about this section, Ouyang Xuan spoke: "Master book, this matter is truthfully played in the court. Fortunately, Ben Hou had already noticed it, otherwise the consequences would be the same as the status quo of Wu Jun. Zhao Zhou, I order you to take the department to Wuzhuang at the foot of Ganquan Mountain for disaster relief." "No". Ouyang Xuan was really a little worried about Gongliangshu's safety, and he didn't know if he could survive the heavy snow and high cold.
