There are many things waiting in line for Lu Bu to deal with, and Guanzhong is in a state of ruins. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info livelihood issues, wheat planting, etc. The area that Lu Bu brought down was not large, and the land was not enough for the people to use, so he could only wait until he repelled the Xiliang army, and the army crossed the Wei River to occupy Fufeng, Feng Yi and other places, and then planted a wave of spring wheat next year. The books printed by Lu Ji also made little progress, and the manpower and material resources invested by Lu Bu were very small, so he couldn't take care of it, and the papermaking technique was even more suspended.

The weather in the north gradually turned cold, and the soldiers of Lu Bu were all southerners, and the characteristics of fear of cold were gradually revealed, and one by one the soldiers shrank in the corners, hunched over, if they could, they really wanted to shrink their heads into their necks, and the thin linen clothes were exposed to gusts of cold wind.

Wing City.

Zhong Miao was dressed in a military uniform, and the three long beards under his chin supported a gentle and elegant temperament, but unfortunately, as soon as he opened his mouth, he destroyed his indisputable bearing, Zhong Xuan looked around: "Do you know why a certain army would be stationed in Yicheng, and not quickly attack Lu Bu and drive him out of Guanzhong?" ”

Yicheng is the Liangzhou Thorn History Department, Wei Kang is nominally the Liangzhou Thorn History, these years, the counties he really governs are only counted on his hands, and the real Liangzhou Prefecture governs Wuwei County, Wei Kang has not even stepped into half a foot, his order to Liangzhou can be imagined, and he relocated the state to the edge of Liangzhou in desperation.

Zhong Miao asked this, and it turned out that Ma Teng urged him to enter the army several times. The Xiliang army arrived one after another, staying in Yicheng for more than ten days, Ma Teng and other Xiliang warlords brought their own rations to participate in the war, Zhong Xuan had just arrived in Chang'an, one poor and two white, although there was Wei Kang's help, Wei Kang's ability could not support the army. The amount of food consumed by hundreds of thousands of mouths every day is a huge amount, and Ma Teng is no better than Han Sui. Previously, he lost many battles with Han Sui, and many cattle and sheep were plundered by Han Sui. If it weren't for Zhong Xuan's timely coordination, Ma Teng would have been ready to run away with the defeated soldiers. Seeing that Zhong Xuan was not moving, Ma Teng was a little angry.

Zhong Xuan ignored Ma Teng's angry eyes, straightened his beard, and said tepidly: "The art of war is cloudy, one blow, one blow, three times, three and exhaustion. When a certain person is waiting for the day, the time comes, and the battle can be decided. At this time, if the dispatch of troops will adversely affect morale, one will eliminate the other, and if Lu Bu blocks our army, morale will be like a rainbow. Therefore, so-and-so waited for the most favorable time. ”

Seeing that Ma Teng was on the verge of running away, Zhong Xuan no longer sold Guanzi: "The heavy snow covers the ground, and it is the time to send troops." ”

Yang Ding sneered, the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together, and his sturdy old face was extremely hideous: "You pride yourself on knowing the scriptures and reading military books." The snow covers the ground, not to mention killing the enemy, even the march is very difficult! ”

Zhong Xuan is not angry, he still needs to use the power of the Xiliang warlord to fight back against Lu Bu, now if he provokes Yang Ding and the others and lets Yang Ding lead the troops back to Xiliang, then Han Sui and the others are worried that Yang Ding will take the opportunity to annex the rear, and they will not turn back? The crusade against Lu Bu became a joke.

Zhong Xuan swallowed his anger into his stomach and patiently explained: "Everyone should expect, not complain. Zhu Gong was born in a bitter cold land, and the elite soldiers under the command of Zhu Gong have not fought in the ice and snow? On the other hand, Lu Bu is all southerners, not suitable for the cold of the north, let alone fighting in a blizzard, many people may not have seen a blizzard in their lives. At this moment, maybe there is a group of people in the city, and it would be good to survive this winter, what combat power is there? The longer we delayed, the weaker the Lü Bu soldiers became. ”

After receiving Zhong Xuan's explanation, the warlords in the hall were full of pride and laughter. Since Lu Bu trapped Chang'an to death and built a beacon tower in the Wei River, Zhong Miao has completely lost the news of Chang'an, if Zhong Miao knew that Zhang Ji was still struggling to support, maybe he would not have waited so calmly for the blizzard to come.

Chen Cang.

Lu Bu patrolled the city against the whining northwest wind, he was born in Jiuyuan, this cold is nothing, but the soldiers on the city head are shivering with cold, the soldiers defending the city put their hands into their sleeves, holding spears and shrinking into a ball, with shiny snot hanging on their beards, and snorting weakly.

After walking around the city, Lu Bu's heart was cold to the bottom.

"Let's go, go to the barracks." Lu Bu took Wei Yue and Zhou Cang to the barracks. Halfway down the road, he encountered several carriages full of corpses, and Lu Bu became even more anxious. Countless soldiers freeze to death every day, and the morale of other soldiers will be seriously affected when they see it. Since arriving in Guanzhong, the soldiers have traveled thousands of miles, first hitting Liu Biao, and then going north to suffer from the bitter cold, exhausted, and morale has dropped sharply.

Even the camps of Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong were lifeless, not to mention the camps of other generals.

Ho ho ho ......

Approaching Gao Shun's camp, Lu Bu finally felt a trace of anger. Gao Shun was training the soldiers on the platform, and the soldiers were sweating profusely, and there was no trace of cold. Lu Bu stood outside the camp and hesitated for a while, worried that Gao Shun would spoil the soldiers, and carefully observed each soldier. These soldiers are alive and energetic.

Lu Bu secretly compared the Gaoshun soldiers with the soldiers commanded by other generals, the clothes to protect against the cold are the same, the dense and fine linen clothes, the same southerners, why can the Gaoshun soldiers resist the cold? It is impossible for Gao Shun to have cotton clothes for the soldiers to keep out the cold, and cotton is only abundant in Shu, which is a luxury like Shu brocade. Then, the problem lies in the food, and the rations that the Gaoshun soldiers get are the most generous. Could it be that you eat a lot of food and your body absorbs enough calories?

Gao Shun doesn't drink alcohol, and there is a ban on alcohol in his barracks, does it have anything to do with this? Lu Bu suddenly vaguely remembered that drinking alcohol did not seem to be able to keep out the cold, but instead accelerated the body's metabolism, released energy, and dilated blood vessels, but emitted a lot of heat. The weather was cold these days, and following Jia Xu's advice, the soldiers would give them a little wine to keep out the cold before going to bed, and it was also from the day they drank to keep out the cold, and many soldiers were frozen into popsicles and loaded into carriages the next morning.

"Pass my order, all soldiers have their rations doubled, and they will train more on weekdays. At the same time, a ban on alcohol was enacted. After Lu Bu figured it out, he ordered Wei Yue and asked him to tell Liu Ye, who was in charge of grain and grass. Lu Bu could no longer take care of the shortage of food, and now in non-war times, the soldiers' rations are distributed according to the amount of weekdays. The grain in Lu Bu's hands has been calculated many times, and he tries his best to stick to it until next year's harvest. Now even the soldiers are going to freeze to death, what's the use of saving food? Which drinks were stored first, the drinks were all plundered by Lu Bu from the war, he didn't have extra food to make wine, he had been in a state of war before, there was a ban on alcohol in the army, and it was not until now that the weather was cold that the ban was lifted.

Up to now, Zhong Miao is still standing still, Lu Bu guessed his plan, but there is nothing to do, Zhong Miao is a conspiracy, there is no way to avoid it, unless Lu Bu can steal the sky and change the day, and let the snow fall all day before cracking Zhong Xuan's strategy.

Lu Bu has always been worried that Zhang Lu will also take the opportunity to make trouble, but now he is relieved that he has not seen Zhang Lu arrive. Before Lu Bu set out to fight in Chang'an, the spearhead was directly aimed at Zhang Lu, and Zhang Lu was put on a table by him, and it was not necessary to raise troops in anger. However, Zhang Lu wants to rejuvenate Chang'an, there are only five roads to go, one is to go out of Qishan, to Longxi, and take Guanlong Avenue; the second is to go to Chencang; the third is out of the slope valley to Meixian; the fourth is to take Luogu Road to Guanzhong; The fifth is out of the Meridian Valley. These roads are not easy to walk, and Lu Bu has sent strange soldiers to guard them, so don't worry.

At the beginning of November of the fourth year of Jian'an.

Despite the heavy snow outside the tent, Zhong Miao still felt very hot and dry, and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead due to anxiety. He finally waited for the best time to send troops, but the Xiliang army was not his direct subordinate, he could not mobilize, and the Xiliang princes found various reasons to make the opponent the vanguard one by one, and everyone was full of anger and unwillingness to consume the opponent's strength and reap the profits.

"Don't be anxious, the villain has a plan that may mobilize the anger of the generals of Xiliang."

Zhong Xuan looked at it, and it was a hairy guy who spoke, with a few short beards, looking very immature. Zhong Xuan has seen this young man, he is a small official under Wei Kang's account, it seems that his name is Zhao Ang, he is too young, and he is invisibly despised, Zhong Xuan only has a trace of impression of him.

Zhao Ang saw Zhong Xuan nodding, so he let go of his courage and said loudly: "The warlords of Xiliang Zhulu are here, but they are here to justifiably claim the king. The envoy only needs to tell the warlords that there is only one stone tablet in Guanzhong, and Heaven chooses one person to be the king, what if Lu Bu is the first to claim the king? ”

Zhao Ang's reminder, Zhong Xuan was in mind. As the saying goes, 'if Han Sui and Ma Teng are not worried about being attacked by the crowd, with the character of the two of them who like to rebel, they will directly claim the king in Xiliang, why bother to contribute and cooperate with Zhong Xuan to attack Lu Bu, just to sit on the throne justifiably, not to be rejected by others, not to be attacked by the masses.

Ma Teng, Han Sui and the others saw that the black clouds outside were pressing down on the city, Zhong Xuan sat firmly in the tent, without the slightest impatience, which made them secretly curious, they were all more calm than Zhong Xuan, as long as they were not pioneers.

In the early morning of the next day, Ma Teng and other generals outside the garrison city stepped on the deep snow and went to Yicheng to discuss matters, and suddenly there was a new notice at the city gate, and Ma Teng took it down and looked at it: "Since the beginning of the office, Debu Quartet, benevolence and all things." Focusing on the mountains and rivers and the society, crusading against the non-ministers, conforming to the heart of heaven and the will of the people, and supporting the Han tilt. Guanzhong heaven descends auspicious, I should lead myself as the king of Qin and guard Guanzhong, in line with the will of heaven to assist the world to prosper smoothly, the ancestors are very fortunate! Lucky for the living! ”

In the end, the four big characters of "Auxiliary General" were bigger than fighting in Ma Teng's eyes. Ma Teng's anger surged, and his face was red by the wind, which was very terrifying.

"Treacherous villain, big nonsense! How virtuous are thou shalt thou call thy king? Someone will never die with you! Ma Teng roared loudly, crumpled the notice in his hand, and tore it to pieces in a frenzy.

Han Sui and the others couldn't suppress their anger, and the spews from their nostrils were not like hot air, but more like smoke of anger. Several people rushed straight to Zhong Xuan's tent in anger, overturned the guards outside the tent and fell to the ground, seeing that Zhong Xuan was sleeping on the couch, Han Sui was angry from the bottom of his heart, and shouted angrily: "The sky is over, so that you still have the heart to sleep!" ”

"What...... What the! Lu Bu knocked on the door? Zhong Miao was shocked, and a carp from the bed straightened up, and he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he hurriedly walked towards the lobby.

"Don't talk about anything, a certain pioneer!" Ma Teng dragged Zhong Xuan to the hall to discuss the matter, these Confucian students, once they went to the lobby to talk at length, endlessly, and they couldn't discuss it today.

"A certain also means a pioneer, and if you don't break Chang'an, you won't return!" Han Sui, Yang Ding and others competed at the same time.

Zhong Xuan looked confused, and asked in a panic: "Can you explain your confusion for me, what happened?" ”

By now, Zhong Xuan has finally put his mind at ease, and Han Sui, Ma Teng and others have finally won the plan and are willing to send troops with all their might.
