Chapter 421: The Wind Comes

It's no wonder that Wang Xirang is so out of shape, after all, anyone who sees his subordinates having their limbs frozen off because of the cold will also feel kinship.

Wang Xirang guarded Yanshan for three years, resisted the Turks, and guarded the northeast gate of the Great Zhou, which was a great responsibility. On weekdays, in addition to the threats given to him by the Turks, what worries Wang Xirang the most is the cold winter.

Every winter, Yanshan, which is located in the northernmost part of the Great Zhou, has a sharp drop in temperature. In the vast white snow, the glacier python river will not let this man who has read a book and was born as a jinshi have any poetic feelings. On the contrary, Wang Xirang, who was on the top of the thousands of miles of frozen Yanshan Mountain, looked at the vast snowy fields and was worried.

Although Baoding Mansion Yin article, Master Wen is his close friend. The cotton clothes provided to the troops to protect themselves from the cold are also sufficient. However, the weather in Yanshan is extremely cold. In winter, the thin cotton clothes could not keep out the cold at all.

When it comes to snowy days, the situation is even worse.

Every time a soldier goes out on patrol, one or two of them will be handicapped and fall into the ice cave and freeze to death. For example, when encountering combat missions, the number of soldiers who have been lurking in the ice and snow for a long time will freeze to death and frostbite due to the cold will increase several times.

After the war, Wang Xirang watched the numb fingers on the hands of the tired soldiers who were blank and had their hands amputated by the military doctor, and cried bitterly. Wang Xirang, who was born as a general, has a heart like a knife.

Now, Wang Xirang looked at the warm gloves in his hand and felt the warmth from the palm. In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the tragic situation of the soldiers who were missing arms and legs, and the miserable and unwilling roars of the soldiers clearly echoed in his ears.

Wang Xirang couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and hot tears flowed out.

"Lao Wang. What are you doing here? Zhanxiong took a deep breath, stepped forward and hugged Wang Xirang, hugged this iron-blooded man tightly, and said in a choked voice: "This is a good thing, you should laugh!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Wang Xirang smiled with satisfaction. Lift your sleeve and wipe away the tears from your face. Nodding heavily, he said with deep feelings. Loosening the shoulders of the hero, Wang Xi looked at the military advisor on the seat with tears in his eyes. He took a deep breath and lifted his armor. Fell to his knees with a thud.

"The great grace of the military advisor, Wang and the soldiers will always remember it!" Wang Xirang knelt on his knees, glanced at Lu Heng fixedly, and kowtowed heavily on the ground.

Looking at Wang Xirang's weather-beaten face, tears rolled down. Lu Heng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and helped Wang Xirang, who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly.

Looking at the red eyes of this northern man, Lu Heng stretched out his hand and slapped him on the shoulder, patting him, looking at him with burning eyes. Gently shook his head and said: "Don't thank me, the soldiers guard the border for the country, this is what you deserve!" ”

Seeing that Wang Xirang was still grateful, Lu Heng waved his hand to stop it. Then he pointed to the article on the side. smiled and said to Wang Xi: "If you really want to be grateful, thank us for our article Master Wen, it was he who drove out these tens of thousands of gloves in one night!" ”

Hearing this, the article standing next to Ah Gui hurriedly waved his hand, shook his head and said, "Don't, General Wang must not be polite." As the military advisor said, we are fortunate to work together. This is the friendship between birth and death. One family, don't talk to two families. General Wang is only on the battlefield. Chop off a few more enemies' heads for me, and Wen will be grateful! ”

Wang Xirang listened. Nodding heavily, he arched his hand to Lu Henghe and said: "Wang will definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy and never disappoint the expectations of the military advisor and the adult!" ”

In the room, the brazier was blazing, the burning charcoal crackling, and sparks were splashing. The blazing firelight illuminated the slightly dim room more and more brightly.

The wind outside the window was cold, and the thin window paper made a rattling sound, as if it was overwhelmed, and it could be torn at any time.

The wind blew into the room, and the fire in the brazier, the fire was uncertain, swaying violently.

The generals whose passion was ignited, at this moment, did not feel a little cold. Covered in blood, they were gathered around the table, their eyes staring at the map on the table, holding their breath, listening to the combat missions issued by the military advisor to the troops.

"At present, Nanying along the Yellow River has begun to make a feint. According to intelligence, the army of the Jin king arranged in the middle of the Jin Dynasty has begun to move south, presumably to reinforce the Yellow River defense line, and at the same time, the Yanmen Pass in the north. In order to cooperate with the movements of the Turks, the king of Jin began to increase his troops to the north, intending to carry out a flanking attack on the north and south of the king's five divisions. Open the Yanmen Pass defense line. Just when the generals were worried about the huge pressure on the defense line of Yanmen Pass, Lu Heng suddenly moved to the Taiyuan generation after stretching out his hand and pointing at the Yanmen Pass generation.

Raising his head, he glanced at the generals around him, smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, the defense around Taiyuan will inevitably be empty. It just provides us with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cross the Taihang Mountain and surprise attack Taiyuan! ”

After hearing the recent military movements around Shanxi, the generals nodded one after another. agreed.

"Everyone!" Lu Heng's voice suddenly raised, he straightened up, looked at the generals, and said in a deep voice.

When the Lord General heard this, his heart suddenly sank. They knew that the military division was about to issue a combat mission.

"Two days later, the army will be drawn according to the original plan!" Lu Heng stretched out his hand and swiped hard in the central section of Taihang Mountain, knocked on the table vigorously, stared at the generals and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

In the room, the generals touched their chests with one hand and replied in a deep voice.

The strategic plan has already been set, led by Wang Xi, who is familiar with the local terrain, and the 80,000-strong army crossed the Taihang Mountain, entered Yangqu County, and approached Taiyuan City. Then, under the attack of heavy artillery, Taiyuan was taken.

For the Shanxi battlefield, Lu Heng's thoughts are very simple and direct. Using the well-equipped Duan Peng's subordinates, with a strong advantage against the enemy, in a relatively short period of time, captured Taiyuan City and Shanxi. After that, Wang Xi asked his troops to move north to reinforce the Yanmen Pass defense line. And Duan Peng's troops will secretly cross Luliang Mountain, cooperate with Wu Ningyuan, and launch an attack on the king of Pingxi. Wait for the war in Shaanxi to settle. Wuning's Yuan Department moved north to the Turkic border, and at that time, Wang Gongye's 50,000 cavalry in the mountainous areas of northern Hebei would also be in place. The three-way army fought together to resist the attack of the Turks.

As for Duan Peng's 50,000 elite soldiers, they will guard the Shaanxi-Gansu border and contain Anjia.

After their respective combat missions fell, Lu Heng asked Agui to put away the map. Tell your subordinates to serve tea.

After picking up a cup of tea and delivering it to Duan Peng, he looked at the excited Duan Peng, stretched out his hand and punched him in the chest, and asked with a smile, "General Duan, this battle." Your task is the heaviest. Not only do you have to act as the main force to attack Taiyuan Mansion, but after you take Taiyuan, you have to rush to Shaanxi immediately and cooperate with your old superior, King Huainan, to destroy King Pingxi. How, do you have faith? ”

Duan Peng put his feet together, snapped an example, raised his head with his chest straight, and said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, the humble general will never fail in his mission!" ”

Although, as the military advisor said, his combat mission is heavy. But on the other hand, there are many more opportunities for one's own troops to receive awards for their meritorious service than others. Do you want to be a soldier, what is the picture, the picture is to add an official to the knight. Scenery in the countryside. Now that the military advisor has given him this opportunity, how can Duan Peng not cherish it.

Wang Xirang's eyes were hot when he watched from the sidelines, but he could only sigh in his heart that Duan Peng, this kid, had shit luck.

However, he also knew that Duan Peng had dealt with the military advisor as early as when Jiangning exterminated the Dongying people. Later, during the expedition to Goryeo, the military advisor seemed to regard Duan Peng's department as his descendant troops. The care for Duan Peng's department made the other generals in the army hot.

This time, to exterminate the rebels, the military division handed over the most difficult task to Duan Peng, which shows the military division's trust in Duan Peng and his subordinates.

This trust is not only envied by Wang Xirang. Even Zhanxiong on the side was a little hot-eyed.

Duan Peng obviously also felt the love of the military advisor for him, looking at the red eyes of the other two, Duan Peng felt the weight of the burden on his shoulders even more in addition to the pride in his heart.

With such trust and trust, Duan Mou's liver and brain are all over the place, and he will never fail in his mission!

Looking at the expectant gaze of the military advisor, Duan Peng clenched his fists and said in his heart.

Lu Heng saw Duan Peng's face was gloomy, and after nodding heavily, he nodded with satisfaction. Then, he turned his attention to Wang Xirang.

"General Wang, after conquering Taiyuan Mansion, you have to lead a team to Yanmen Pass. With General Wang Wu, General Zhou Yafu, and the three armies are one, and they will defend Yanmen and resist the Turks! Lu Heng picked up a bowl of hot tea, walked in front of Wang Xirang, stared at him with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Yanmen Pass is the north gate of my Great Zhou, and the strategic location is extremely important. Once lost, the Great Zhou Dynasty will fall into the hands of foreigners. If by that time, the displaced people will be displaced, and their lives will be ruined. You and I ......"

Lu Heng pointed to his chest, then pointed at himself, and shouted in a deep voice: "You and I will both be sinners of China through the ages!" ”

Seeing Wang Xirang's awe-inspiring expression, his breathing became heavier and heavier. Lu Heng took a deep breath and handed the hot tea cup to Wang Xirang. looked at Wang Xirang, who was excited, and said lightly: "Don't say more." Lu has only one sentence to send to the general! ”

When Wang Xirang heard this, he lifted his armor, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "The military advisor, please command, and you will not give up in the next ten thousand deaths!" ”

Lu Heng took a deep breath, raised his hand and pressed it on Wang Xirang's shoulder, his voice was cold, and he said indifferently: "People can die, blood can flow, and the pass cannot be lost!" ”

Wang Xirang's heart was awe-inspiring, looking at the military advisor with a solemn face in front of him, the tiger's eyes were full of firm faith, and he arched his hand and said: "The humble general will remember it in his heart!" ”

After reaching out and pressing Wang Xirang's shoulder heavily, Lu Heng withdrew his hand, raised his hand and waved: "Okay, Zhanxiong stays, and the two generals will go back and prepare!" ”

"Yes!"

Duan Peng and Wang Xi asked Qi to stand together, and after bowing, they turned around and left.
