The snow was heavy, and a team that did not see each other was marching hard in the wind and snow, and layers of thin snow fell on everyone's armor, and the snow and muddy water on the road were already muddy, and the oxen and carriages were far behind the back of the team.

It has been more than a month since the forbidden army left Bianliang, and the days of marching have exhausted these soldiers, the biting north wind wrapped in snowflakes and constantly drilled into everyone's necks, and the procession of four people walking side by side has already become crowded, and everyone walks shoulder to shoulder to keep warm.

More than a dozen senior generals of the Western Expedition were stationed on the high slopes on the side of the road, watching this ant-like marching procession, and Dane was anxious.

"Herald," Dane shouted.

"In!"

Dane pointed to the team and said, "Pass the order, speed up, and rush to Danzhou City before dark."

"No!"

Danzhou City is more than 600 miles away from Yanzhou, it is the last big city on the way from the Yellow River to Yanzhou, after Danzhou is the endless northern Shaanxi Plateau, sparsely populated, it is difficult to collect supplies on a large scale along the way.

The heralds passed the order along the way, the team accelerated slightly, and many people cursed in their hearts when they walked by Dane's side, this kind of ghost weather also has to march, the officials have horses to ride, and the soldiers rely on two legs, and sooner or later he will have to be tortured to death.

This paper acceleration order lasted for less than a moment, and the team returned to its original state, moving forward little by little, and those who didn't know thought that this was the remnant of the defeated army that had just been withdrawn from the battlefield.

Dane held back his anger and shouted, "Sentinel, where is the striker?" ”

After a while, a small colonel came and said: "Back to Dashuai, I just received a report an hour ago, and the forward 5,000 people have passed through Danzhou, and it is only five days away from Yanzhou."

Dane said angrily: "Urge again, let them speed up, Ben Shuai doesn't want to celebrate the New Year on this march"

"No!"

A veteran in battle armor on the side smiled and said: "Why is General Dai so anxious, the soldiers have done their best, this kind of weather is really not suitable for marching"

Dane glanced at him, it was Pan Mei, the capital of the army, and the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

"Pan also knows this, but if you rush to the battlefield one day earlier, the people on the border will suffer less for a day, and the official family will hand over the military affairs of the frontier to me, I am afraid that I will have the grace of the saint."

Pan Mei said: "How can manpower resist the sky, the officials will understand it in the future, if it continues like this, it will drag down the three armies, and it may even lead to a mutiny."

Dane nodded helplessly and sighed: "I understand, but I believe in my soldiers, the Japanese army has not been in battle for a long time, and they have all developed a lazy problem, Pan Dujian, the official family has repeatedly urged me to calm the war in the northwest as soon as possible, my pressure is not small, and I hope that Pan Envoy will have the same heart as me."

Pan Mei nodded and smiled: "This is natural, the old man is just worried about Dai Shuai, no matter how urgent he is, he can't force the soldiers too hard, and he has to be loose when he should be loosened."

As the two were talking, several horses came from the back of the group.

As soon as Dane looked at the person, he said: "Yang Transit Envoy, you are not supervising the transportation behind, why did you come here?"

Yang Guangmei's cheeks were red from the cold, and she patted the snow behind her and said: "Dai Dashuai, you can do it, let the brothers take a breath, the baggage of the rear team can't keep up at all, and the military food also has many signs of dampness and mildew, let the army camp on the spot, and it's not too late to leave when the wind and snow stop."

Pan Mei on the side stroked her beard and smiled: "Look, there are people who are more anxious than the old man"

Yang Guangmei frowned and said: "Pan Xianggong, look at it, I, the transfer envoy, have personally gone into battle, you go to the back of the team to take a look, it is really miserable, the road is so muddy that there is no way to walk at all, those people can only use ropes to pull, use their shoulders to resist, their hands are frozen, they can't do this."

Dane said in a deep voice: "It's impossible to stop the march, Yang Envoy, you just have to bother more, transfer some more people from the army, in short, go to Danzhou first and then repair, it's not a way to camp in this wilderness, it's hard."

Xiazhou Metropolitan Subordinate (Commander of the Western Expedition), Metropolitan Supervisor of the Army, and Accompanying Army Transit Envoy served in the Western Expeditionary Army, the three division of labor and cooperation, and there was no subordinate subordinate relationship between superiors and subordinates, mutual restraint, in a sense, the Metropolitan Supervisor is the representative of the Son of Heaven, Pan Mei is the real person in charge, but he has no right to be in charge of the army, and the military orders are all from Dane.

Yang Guangmei wanted to argue again, Dane was a little impatient and said: "Okay, Yang Yuanjun, it's all for the westward expedition, you have to appease them, if everyone comes to me to complain, I can't bring this soldier with me, that's it, the military order is not changed, rush to Danzhou before dark, and the violator of the order will be engaged in military law, but the baggage team can arrive half a day later, but remember, the military rations can't go wrong."

Yang Guangmei was helpless, and left with a stomach full of anger.

As soon as Yang Guangmei left, he saw a group of cavalry running over with a carriage and stopped in front of Dane, and the curtain was lifted, and the person who came was Shi Baoji, the commander of the horse who was ridiculed by Lu Fei.

Shi Baoji was wearing a thick plush coat, sitting cross-legged in the car, and when he saw Dane, he immediately fell into the snow, and he also owed his waist and said: "Dai Dashuai, the weather is so bad, why don't you abandon the horse and drive, aren't you asking for hardship?" ”

Dane glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, snorted and said, "It turned out to be a stone horse, this handsome is not comparable to you royal relatives, why, you also came to me to complain?" ”

Shi Baoji got out of the carriage with a wide robe, and the soldiers on the side hurriedly stepped forward to open the oilcloth umbrella, and Li Jilong, who had been standing next to Dane, commanded the left wing of the Japanese army, and frowned and said: "General Shi, the marshal leads by example, it's not good for you to be like this, as a commander of the army, you don't wear armor and don't ride horses to walk with the soldiers, the soldiers will complain."

Shi Baoji shook the snowflakes that fell on his clothes from time to time, and smiled, and said: "General Li, don't look like an elder, this is a march, not in Bianliang, we are both at the same level, the big handsome didn't speak, is it your turn?"

Li Jilong gritted his teeth and said, "You ......"

Dane waved his hand and said unhappily: "Okay, what is the quarrel, this is a war, not a quarrel, to quarrel in front of the official's house."

Li Jilong arched his hand: "The last general will not dare!" ”

Li Jilong is the son of the founding general Li Chuyun, and also the younger brother of Empress Mingde of Song Tianzi, but Empress Mingde has passed away a long time ago, and the queen's name is also posthumously crowned by Zhao Jiong as the emperor, the emperor's brother-in-law is also a bitter life, and he has not received much of her sister's blessing, otherwise how can there be room for Shi Baoji to be presumptuous, Shi Baoji relied on marrying Princess Yanqing, the pearl of Zhao Jiong's palm, and was powerful in many royal princes.

Shi Baoji wrapped his fur sweater and said: "Dai Dashuai, I didn't have anything else to do, I just wanted to inquire, where was the disrespectful and humble one in front of me last time in front of the palace, I heard that he was your personal soldier, why haven't I seen him?"

Dane snorted and said, "The stone horse is still in your heart, do you remember some little things?" ”

Shi Baoji said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, but he's not disrespectful to me, it's disrespectful to today, this general has to let him increase his memory, dare to ask where the marshal got him?" ”

Dane hates this person very much, he has no ink on his chest, and he has not even read a few military books, but the official family uses him as a general, which is obviously embarrassing for himself, but there is no way, he is a royal prince.

Dane said with a smile: "Shi Juma is serious, aren't you afraid of losing your identity if you are so worried about a little Dutou, forget it, just give Ben Shuai a thin face, he, I have already asked him to go to investigate the military situation first"

Shi Baoji sneered and said, "Dashuai, you let him go?" A small soldier can also do scouting things? Marshal, I'm here to give you face, I don't care about his disrespect to me, but if he can't find out the military intelligence, it is a violation of military law, and the marshal can't protect him anymore."

Dane frowned and said: "Victory or defeat in the army is a common thing in soldiers, and collecting military information is not beneficial to military affairs, so if you criticize him so harshly, who will dare to inquire about the military situation for this commander in the future."

Shi Baoji said: "Dashuai, I don't ask others, I'll stare at him to death this person, Dai Dashuai, you don't need to be angry with the young general, I'm not rushing at you"

Dane's face sank, and he said: "Shi Baoji, don't forget, he is my personal soldier, how to punish Ben Shuai has the final say, you go, go to the front to overseer the army"

Shi Baoji raised the corners of his mouth and snorted, and said in a weird manner while moving to the car: "Your order, that kid, eighty percent of you have already frozen to death in the ice and snow in Saibei."

Dane glared at him, snorted and pulled his horse and left.

As soon as Dane left, Li Jilong said to Shi Baoji in the carriage with an angry face: "The surname is Shi, it seems that you shouldn't be so rude to the marshal, don't forget, you are now his subordinate."

Shi Baoji said disdainfully: "Hehe, Uncle Guo, this is in the army, we are both commanders, you don't seem to be ordering me what to do, ah, haha, go!" ”

The carriage moved slowly, Li Jilong immediately fell in the wind and snow with a blue face, the horse whip in his hand was clenched tightly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Unreasonable." ”

Pan Mei, the capital supervisor on the side, shook her head, smiled bitterly and said to herself: "The general is not in harmony, what kind of bird battle is this, drive!" Then he turned his horse and followed Dane.
