Chapter Thirty-Nine: Heavy Snow Fills the Sky and False Paths
In winter and spring, it is not suitable for waging war, but the treasury of the state is full of grain, and the Xianbei people are in the most difficult time of the year, the horses are thin and long, hungry and cold, and the combat effectiveness has more than doubled compared with usual.

After the plan for the Northern Expedition was decided, Xun Yu and the others did not leave, although they were big people in the state, but the big people also had to keep vigil. Instead of going back to his home and talking to his old wife, it is better to stay in this warm room to drink tea and chat.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, it was popular to make tea, but Han Jun only drank it once and could no longer tolerate the strange taste. And there are many alkaline lands in Bingzhou, which is not suitable for the growth of tea, Han Jun can only order someone to buy Cong Jiangnan at a high price, and then finish it himself, bake, and toss for a long time before finally drinking the familiar taste.
A very important reason why Xun Yu and others were reluctant to leave was that they could only taste that unique tea here in Han Jun.
Maofeng tea tastes mellow and sweet, the aroma is like orchid, and the charm is profound, Xun Yu and others just tasted it once, and like Han Jun, they can no longer tolerate the taste of boiled tea. Han Jun tried his best to only get a few catties of high-grade Maofeng tea, which is naturally a treasure on weekdays, no matter who it is, even if it is Han Fu, he is counting on taking some from him, and it is okay to drink tea, but it is only one cup. It was because of today's Chinese New Year's Eve that Han Jun made an exception.
The Xun brothers and Fu Zhu love to taste tea more, but Guo Jia is guarding the fruit plate composed of pears, plums, and apples and eating non-stop, while still sighing and admiring, the ugly eating appearance attracted Xun Yu and others to look sideways, and they all showed a look of "This person is sick, I don't know him".
Han Jun doesn't care, in essence, he and Guo Jia are actually the same kind of people, both of whom belong to the kind of lazy people who can lie down and never stand.
"My lord, now counting the soldiers and horses left behind in Jizhou, the number of horses and cavalry in our army has exceeded 50,000, and there are enough soldiers and food, why not wave the army south to eliminate the national thieves. In this way, report the grace of the country, under the peace of the people, the side of the Qing monarch, and Kuang Tianxia, will surely leave a name in history and be recited through the ages. ”
Xun Chen, like Xun Yu, was not completely dead to the Han Dynasty, and Han Jun, who saw it, seemed to be in a good mood, so he boldly proposed.
Han Jun's face changed slightly, but he didn't say a word, because he couldn't answer, there were some things he knew in his heart, but he couldn't say it clearly.
Han Jun didn't speak, naturally someone answered for him, Guo Jia wiped the juice from his mouth and said indistinctly: "There is no need for this, I dare to bet that Dong Thief will die soon!" ”
Xun Chen showed a look of shock on his face, he still admired Guo Jia's prophetic ability, but at this time, his face was full of disbelief, "There are hundreds of thousands of tiger and wolf soldiers under the command of Dong Thief, and there are even more kun, Han Tian is dangerous to defend the palace, and the princes of the thirteen towns can't help him when they join forces to fight, how can they give the head to the west in a short time?" Don't you expect those mediocre ministers in the court? ”
Guo Jia nodded with a smile and said, "I'm counting on those mediocre ministers!" ”
Xun Chen smiled bitterly, "Now that the military and political power of the imperial court is in the hands of Dong Thief, even if there are ministers in the court and the central government who are ruthless Dong Thief, how can they get rid of Dong Thief without soldiers and power?" ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "To kill someone, you don't necessarily have to use a hard knife, a soft knife that you can't see or touch can also kill people." For example, on the battle array, the upright momentum can break the enemy, and the conspiracy can also break the enemy. Wang Situ was sent back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, although he did not say it explicitly, but his words and deeds have exposed his thoughts. Wang Situ will be out of Dong thief and then fast. Now, all we have to do is quietly wait for the good news from Wang Situ! ”
Xun Chen was still unconvinced and said: "Wang Situ is loyal and patriotic, and he mentioned it many times when his uncle was alive. However, Dong Thief is tyrannical and Wang Situ is benevolent and righteous, Dong Thief is powerful and Wang Situ is weak, and Wang Situ is the opponent of Dong Thief? ”
The Guo family looked at Xun Yu helplessly, as if they couldn't understand why the IQ difference between the two brothers from one mother was so big.
Xun Yu had a solemn look on his face, and said slowly: "Although Dong Thief's command seems to be strong and strong, the hidden danger is extremely great, if one is not handled well, there will be civil strife." ”
The Guo family picked a thumbs-up, which he learned from Han Jun, and exclaimed: "Wen Ruo can still see it." ”
Xun Chen seemed to understand a little, but then asked, "What does this have to do with Wang Situ?" ”
Xun Yu smiled bitterly: "There is no harmony between the old department of Xiliang and the troops surrendered to the state, and it is close to incompatibility!" Just like two piles of dry wood, just a spark can ignite a raging fire. ”
Xun Chen finally understood, and said loudly with joy on his face: "If this is the case, then Master Zi is really my great Han Zhongxing Ming minister!" ”
Han Jun is now very glad that Xun Chen is mainly in charge of Bingzhou Academy, this thing is a nerd, not to mention foolish loyalty, and his power and knowledge are very different from his younger brother.
"Mr. Tomorua thinks this is a good thing?"
A basin of cold water poured down, Xun Chen was stunned on the spot, looked at Han Jun in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Han Jun said indifferently: "Mr. Youruo, do you know that the loyal ministers are misleading the country?" ”
Xun Chen obviously felt that his IQ was not enough, and turned his head to look at Xun Yu, hoping that his younger brother could solve his doubts.
Xun Yu thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Governing the country needs capable ministers, and loyal ministers are not capable ministers. Rigid and easy to break, strong and easy to exhaust. Wang Situ is well known to the world, upright, jealous and hateful, if it is the official imperial history, it is more suitable. However, if the first assistant of a country does not know how to be flexible, does not understand human feelings, and does not follow expedient measures, it may not be the way to survive. ”
Xun Yu was already very polite, but Xun Chen was still frightened, and he thought about it for a long time with a pale face, and finally just turned into a long sigh.
On the tenth day of the lunar month, it snowed in the sky, and the goose-feather-like snow flakes were sprinkled for three days and three nights.
After the weather cleared, Jinyang City had completely changed color, the city walls were white, the roofs were white, and the white snow on the road was knee-deep.
Standing on the city wall, Han Jun looked at the mountains and rivers like pink makeup and jade, and sighed heavily.
Guo Jia was so cold that he was verbose, his hands shrunk in his sleeves and shivered: "Such a grand scene, wouldn't it be a pity if there is no poetry left for future generations?" ”
Han Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There is no poetry, but there is a sentence to give to Fengxiao, I don't know if you are willing to listen?" ”
Guo Jiaqiang smiled: "I wish to listen to you!" ”
Han Jun said word by word: "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!" Fengxiao, you only saw the beautiful scenery of the snow, but you don't know how many people died of cold and starvation under this heavy snow! ”
Guo Jia's face changed again and again, looking at the white snowfield uncertainly, biting his lip and no longer speaking.
"Haha, don't worry, my lord, I don't dare to say anything else, but I promise that no one in my state will die because of this heavy snow!"
Realizing the embarrassment of anger, for fear that the two would clash again, Xun Yu opened his mouth in time to make a round.
Han Jun also realized that he had gone too far just now, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "That's fine." ”
Even before the cold winter arrived, the displaced people who settled in Bingzhou had basically built their houses. There is no shortage of building materials such as mountains, rocks, forests and trees, as long as you are willing to work hard, it is not difficult to build a house. In addition, Han Jun also deliberately sent troops to help, so as Xun Yu said, the impact of this heavy snow on the people of Bingzhou is limited to making it difficult to travel.
The heavy snow did not threaten the survival of the people of Bingzhou, but it brought almost extinction to the herders on the grassland. The white plague will always be the greatest natural enemy of nomads. Throughout the history of China, almost every white plague was followed by a large-scale southward movement of nomadic people.
However, for Bu Dugen, the leader of the Western Xianbei, he didn't dare to move even half a step, and would rather watch the clansmen and cattle and sheep die in pieces. The tragic fate of the Huns made him extremely afraid of the Han Iron Cavalry.
Seeing that the clansmen were dying of cold and starvation one after another, Bu Dugen was helpless, spinning around like an ant on a hot pot in the big tent, how he hoped that he would incarnate into a sandalwood locust at this moment, so that he could lead the clansmen out of a desperate situation.
"Chief, a Han army was found fifteen miles away......"
"Run!"
Before the sentry who walked in outside the tent finished speaking, Bu Dugen was already frightened and stood upside down, grabbed the reins and was about to rush out of the tent.
"Leader, the Han army is only a few hundred people, and it is also carrying a large amount of baggage, and it seems that there is no malicious intent!"
One foot of Budugen had already stepped out of the big tent, and after listening to the words of the sentry rider, he breathed a sigh of relief, and patted his chest again and again, and he was afraid.
"Have you found out where you came?"
Bu Dugen realized that he seemed to have lost some of his temper in front of his subordinates just now, coughed, changed to a subtle and inviolable expression, and asked in a deep voice.
"Not yet!" The sentry continued: "The snow is difficult to walk, so I don't dare to act rashly. ”
"Go and ask, and if there is no malice, bring it to me!"
Bu Dugen waved his hand, and couldn't help but start to guess in his heart, thinking about it, a look of excitement appeared on his face......
This army is carrying heavy loads, could it be that the Son of Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and he can't bear to see me wipe out the race and die?
Lend Bu Dugen a hundred more dares, he doesn't dare to fight those heavy ideas, although the Han army is only a few hundred, but there are thousands of Han army iron horsemen behind them. Taking a step back, even if there are only a few hundred Han troops, I'm afraid it is not so easy to deal with.
What Bu Dugen is looking forward to is that these burdens are sent by the emperor of the Han Dynasty, or the young pastor of the state, for the sake of his western Xianbei has always been obedient.
It turned out that Bu Dugen was still a little clever, because as he expected, these burdens were indeed sent by Han Jun.
