Chapter 340: Joy in Suffering

~~~~~

It's late in the evening. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The sky was overcast.

The cold wave storm from Far North Siberia is like an enraged demon with teeth and claws, whistling wildly, and constantly sweeping by.

In the Houjin camp, in the big tent of the main Daishan of the Zhenghongqi Banner, Mang Gurtai, Amin, Yue Tuo, Du Du, and dozens of Houjin magnates were gathering around a few braziers in the middle to warm up and discuss.

This big tent is very large, about fifty or sixty square meters, the ground is full of luxurious gold silk cashmere blankets, and the big tent has also gone through several layers of good cowhide seams, which is very warm.

But at this point, the wind seemed to go berserk and could not be controlled at all.

The tent was so large that it looked like a plastic bag lifted in the wind, and even though it was supported by a deep foundation, the wind mixed with the continuous sound of snowflakes 'crackling' almost lifted the entire roof of the tent.

At this time, around the big tent, nearly a hundred Jurchen strong men, like artificial anchors of a big ship, dragged them to death, which barely kept the big tent from falling.

On top of a brazier, a little lamb had been roasted and half-cooked, and began to exude a ripe and attractive golden yellow, but a cold wind struck, and the wind rushed into the big tent through the cracks, and instantly swept the flames in the brazier into all directions.

Mang Gurtai was just about to cut off a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth, but he happened to be poured into his mouth by the cold wind, and he couldn't help but be angry: "This ghost weather, is this going crazy?" ”

Everyone's faces were not good-looking.

Amin said, "I don't know what happened to the horses?" If you want to continue to blow according to this ghost wind, don't say that you are going to beat Li Yuanqing. I'm afraid our war horses will be blown to death by this ghost wind! ”

War horses were the closest allies of the Jurchen warriors, and to a large extent, they were even treated more highly than the average Jurchen warrior.

Like this kind of battle, the Ming army has the city to rely on, and stables must be built in the Houjin camp to ensure a long-term good life for the war horses.

But at this time, the camp time in Houjin was too short, only a little more than a day, and although the stables were probably erected, the facilities were not yet perfect.

If the wind continues to blow like this, the 70,000 or 80,000 war horses in Houjin may be less auspicious.

Yue Tuo said: "The weather is so bad, we don't have too many good ways, so we can only let the warriors work hard and improve the stable first." But this gale is not without benefits, at least, in this case, Li Yuanqing will never dare to come to steal the camp. ”

Dai Shan nodded, "We don't have much firewood in stock. It's a pity that the minions who followed the trip have not yet arrived. I can only work hard for the warriors of each banner. ”

Although Mang Gurtai was angry, he had no choice but to nod and say, "Dog offal!" I can't eat. I'll go to the stable and keep an eye on it! ”

As he spoke, he left in a hurry, and several powerful people with the blue flag hurriedly followed him.

But as soon as he reached the door of the tent, before he could go out, a bitter wind swept by, almost blowing Mang Gultai on his heels.

He couldn't help but be even more angry, spat hard, and rushed into the gale.

"I'll go too!"

Amin is also a little angry, in such a state, how can he sit still in the big tent? Hurriedly rushed out of the door.

Du Du suffered a big loss yesterday, and today he has turned into a frosted eggplant.

At such a moment, he didn't want to talk much, but Mang Gurtai and Amin had gone to the stables, so how could he still sit by this warm brazier? After hesitating, he had to grit his teeth and say, "Second uncle, I'll go too!" ”

As he spoke, he hurried away.

Soon, the magnates of several banners also hurriedly followed their masters away, and the tent was suddenly empty.

Yue Tuo looked at Dai Shan and said, "Amma, let's go too." Protect the war horse first, and then try to do the rest. ”

Dai Shan slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, nodded and said, "For today's plan, I have to do this!" Pass on my military order, let people kill more sheep, and boil more hot soup for the sons and daughters at night to replenish their bodies. ”

"Yes."

…………

Houjin's stables are located in the center of the camp, close to the baggage and forage, stretching for miles, and are the most central location.

In normal times, stables are generally built on favorable terrain and close to water sources, saving time and effort.

But with many combat experiences, Li Yuanqing's prestige is too great.

Even the big Baylors like Dai Shan, Mang Gurtai, and Amin were afraid of Li Yuanqing's might, they were really scared of Li Yuanqing's sneaking camp, and they didn't dare to cut corners and save effort, so they still chose to build the stables in what they thought was the safest location.

At this time, the wind was howling, the snow was shaking, and the 'whirring' north wind seemed to tear the whole world apart.

Around the stables, there were soldiers of various banners of Houjin.

When it comes to this, I don't care if it's a master or a slave, as long as it's a human being and still alive, I ran here to help.

Once there is a problem with the war horse, then this battle does not need to be fought by Li Yuanqing, they are afraid that they will directly call 'Dad'.

However, the wind was too strong, and their timber preparation was not sufficient, and yesterday they only built a temporary structure of stables with no roof on it.

At this point, they had to order their minions to cut down trees in the woods a few miles behind them, and to re-secure the supports so that they could roof the stables.

"Quick! Fast! Move fast! You dog minions haven't eaten! ”

In the cold wind, Mang Gurtai shouted urgently.

Unfortunately, the wind was too strong, and his voice was blown by the wind, which was simply insignificant.

Finally, dozens of minions put up a freshly cut wood up, just about to get it into the pit to bury it firmly, suddenly a gust of wind blew, seven or eight meters high, more than one person thick wood instantly collapsed, 'poof', accompanied by a few screams blown away by the wind, the three minions, has been smashed out of the brain pulp by the wood, blood flowing all over the ground.

But Manggultai couldn't care about any of this, and shouted at the minions to continue erecting the wood, and only if the shelves were strong enough that they could put a roof of animal skins on them.

But at this time, another gust of wind swept by, and the timber was connected to the stable frame next to it, and it collapsed in an instant, and dozens of war horses screamed, seeing that they could no longer live.

Mang Gurtai almost has the heart to kill, but unfortunately, in the face of God's might, he has no choice but to roar desperately and continue to beckon the minions to come again.

…………

At this time, in the small town of the Ming army not far away, it was a different scene.

The main frame is made of wood more than one person thick, buried in the ground at least more than one meter, and then poured water on top, at this time, the ice is almost more than one meter thick.

At this time, even if the wind is very strong, unless the entire city is uprooted at once, it will not be able to cause fatal damage to the main structure on this side of the stable.

But even so, Li Yuanqing still didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, personally checked it several times, and ordered the sons and daughters of the engineer team to stick to it at any time, so he was a little relieved.

In the sky, the wind mixed with snow flakes whistled by, and it was impossible to open your eyes.

But the peaks and forests in the north and west blocked some of the wind, and there were tall walls outside the town, and when they reached the city, the wind weakened somewhat.

But even so, it was still difficult for mortal bodies to bear.

In order to prevent accidents on the side of the horses, Huang Guoshan was also transferred here, and camped here to rest and deal with all kinds of accidents at any time.

Seeing that there was no big problem, he hurriedly came to Li Yuanqing's side and said with concern: "General, there is no big problem here, you still have to take care of your health!" Just keep an eye on it here. ”

The soldiers around him had already surrounded the human wall, and the wind force on Li Yuanqing's body had decreased, and he could barely communicate normally.

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Guoshan, you and your brothers have worked hard." On the side of the flock, by tomorrow morning, slaughter them all. ”

"Yes. Humble duty understands. ”

Huang Guoshan hurriedly nodded.

The stables are densely defended, but the resources are limited, and the sheep are not treated so well, only the low shacks, which have been blown a lot, and the losses are not small.

But the sheep are originally food, and the reason why they are raised is just to be able to eat fresh.

At this time, it is obvious that it cannot be so thoughtful.

Li Yuanqing can only make this decision.

After inspecting the stables and sheep, Li Yuanqing braved the wind and snow to inspect the camp tents of the sons.

Although the sons were well prepared, the wind was so strong that more than a dozen tents were blown over by the strong wind.

The sons had to desperately restructure and fight against the gale.

Fortunately, the city was quite adequate, both in terms of manpower and resources, and there was no major problem, and the restructure was quickly completed.

After cleaning up all this, it was late at night, and Li Yuanqing returned to his tent to rest.

Back at the camp, Liu Qiao and Shu Murong didn't sleep, they were waiting for Li Yuanqing, a small pot was set up in the brazier, and the aroma of mutton soup was emitting 'gudu'.

Usually, in the barracks, mutton is generally simply roasted and eaten when cooked.

But at this time, the weather is so cold, people need the warmth of hot soup very much, Li Yuanqing directly issued a strict order, all meals in the Changsheng Camp must be stewed to ensure that the children are full of calories.

Seeing Li Yuanqing coming in, Liu Qiao and Shu Murong hurriedly caught up and helped Li Yuanqing shoot off the snow flakes on his body.

Although he just walked in the cold wind, Li Yuanqing had enough warmth measures, especially this tiger skin vest, which was very windproof, but he didn't feel too cold.

Liu Qiao hurriedly and obediently helped Li Yuanqing serve a bowl of hot mutton soup.

A bowl of mutton soup went down to his stomach, and after drinking a few sips of warm liquor, the warmth in Li Yuanqing's chest and abdomen instantly surged up, and most of the chill dissipated.

"It's so late, why haven't you two slept yet? Have you eaten? Li Yuanqing said with a smile.

Liu Qiao hurriedly smiled and said, "Master, you won't come, how dare you sleep?" We've eaten some before. Master, the servant serves you to eat. ”

As she spoke, she hurriedly fished out a large piece of mutton, put it on the plate, carefully cut it with a knife, and put it to Li Yuanqing's mouth with chopsticks.

Shu Murong served Li Yuanqing next to him and drank, like a well-behaved and obedient kitten.

After eating and drinking, Li Yuanqing's spirit has also recovered a lot.

At this time, in such a state, you can only be tough with God.

Fortunately, the Changsheng Camp is fully stocked with materials and early warning measures in all aspects, as long as it is not a catastrophe that cannot be reached by manpower such as earthquakes and avalanches, everything is on a normal track.

Li Yuanqing moved his hands and feet briefly, the wine surged, and his mind couldn't help but become eager.

The two women were already very familiar with Li Yuanqing, so they naturally understood the meaning of Li Yuanqing's eager gaze, and their pretty faces couldn't help but start to flush.

As the saying goes, 'full of warmth and lust ~ lust'.

At this time, in such weather, the battle will definitely not be able to be fought, and Li Yuanqing's excess energy must also find a suitable outlet for catharsis, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as exercise.

The two women in front of me are the best partners.

There was almost no effort on the part of Li Yuanqing, and the two women quickly made all the preparations.

After some tossing and turning, Li Yuanqing finally climbed down from Shu Murong's delicate body and lay comfortably in the middle.

Shu Murong was ashamed and happy, and happily got into Li Yuanqing's arms like a kitten, "Thank you, Lord for the reward." ”

Liu Qiao was a little unhappy, her red lips were bitten, and she hesitated for a long time, then she mustered up the courage to say: "Master, if, if she is pregnant, then ......"

Li Yuanqing smiled and casually took Liu Qiao into his arms, "Until the fleet comes, we shouldn't leave." Don't worry about this. ”

As he spoke, Li Yuanqing whispered to Liu Qiao's earlobe: "Qiao'er, don't worry. This may not be a big deal for you. After a few days, I'll ask them to get some good ginseng for you to replenish your body, and it may be fine. Don't worry, all the good things will be kept for you. ”

Liu Qiao couldn't help but be overjoyed, tears couldn't stop pouring down, and he threw himself into Li Yuanqing's arms, "Master, servant, servant is willing to serve you for a lifetime." ”
