In November, the northern Xinjiang was in a cold winter, with wind and snow.

The whole Youzhou is wrapped in a layer of shining silver, this year's wind and snow are more violent than in previous years, it is only the beginning of November, it is already a thick snow, and it is difficult to move an inch.

Sun Quan and his entourage struggled, starting from Xuanwu County, all the way west, crossing Liaoxi, right Beiping, and the three-day journey took five days before arriving at Yuyang County.

"Brother Wang, it's too cold in the north, when will you get to Yuyang City!" Inside the carriage, Sun Shangxiang stretched out a small head and shouted.

"I didn't call you, you came by yourself!"

Sun Quan was riding on horseback, facing the wind and snow, he raised his head, looked at the city in front of him, comforted her, and said: "It's coming soon, I've already seen Yuyang City, and if you walk for a quarter of an hour, you'll be under the city!" ”

It's really cold in the north, and many people in the Praetorian Guard can't adapt to the ice and snow because of the unsuitable climate, and they fall ill, and at least one percent of them can't keep up with the team.

Even Sun Quan couldn't stand it a little, and he felt chills all over his body as he walked forward in the wind and snow, wearing a big coat, a round hat made of wool, and earmuffs.

"Minister Zhuge Jin, lead the hundred officials of Yuyang, and welcome the king!"

"The last general, Zhang Yan, leads all the generals in the army to welcome the king!"

In the wind and snow, in front of the gate of Yuyang City, Zhang Yan and Zhuge Jin led the generals of the garrison and the officials of the county guard to wait for a long time.

"Flat!"

Sun Quan wore a woolen round hat and a tiger skin jacket, rode on horseback, and slowly walked out of the center of the team, looked at a few people, and stretched out his hand to help.

Finally arrived in Yuyang City.

Yuyang is also a target of his northward journey this time.

In the first war in northern Xinjiang, Yuyang was the biggest disaster area, and in order to defeat the Karasuma people under Jicheng, Yuyang had to be released.

Nomads swept through. In fact, there is no difference between it and a devil entering the village.

One of the counties with the best economy in Youzhou was directly disabled, the workshops that were established one by one were swept away, the grain of every household was looted, and those who resisted were killed.

It's literally burned out. Kill all, grab all.

"King Xie!"

The people kneeling under the city were a little chilled, and when they heard Sun Quan's words, they came out of the frozen ground.

Sun Quan jumped off the horse, pulled his hands out of the fluffy gloves, pinched his temples, swept his gaze over everyone, and finally landed on Zhuge Jin's body, and said with a smile: "Ziyu." This road is not easy to walk, it is cold and freezing, find a place to let Lonely take a breath! ”

Although he has good martial arts, he is still a little unaccustomed to the wind and snow in the northland.

It was too cold, he shivered from the cold, a man who was familiar with the weather in the south, walking in the snowy weather in the north, fingers. Ears, skin. It's going to crack.

At this time, let him speak, and he didn't know what to say.

"King, the courtyard in the city is ready!"

Zhuge Jin hurriedly walked up and said, "You take a rest first, and we will report to work tomorrow!" ”

"Good!"

Sun Quan nodded.

An army of 30,000 remained outside the city. Lei Ding led a thousand soldiers and escorted Sun Quan into a courtyard in the city to rest.

Since the coal from the Northeast has entered every household, the kang bed in the Northeast has also entered every household in the Northeast. It's a lot warmer.

The courtyard was constant, surrounded by soldiers, Sun Quan fell asleep on a warm mineral bed, and he was too tired to travel in the wind and snow for several days.

After a day of rest, Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

Following.

Early in the morning, in the lobby of the annex, the two persons in charge of Yuyang, Zhuge Jin and Zhang Yan, have been waiting for a long time.

"Ziyu, are you good at living in the northern Xinjiang?"

Sun Quan walked into the lobby, warmed his hands with a cup of hot tea, sat in the first place, and looked at Zhuge Jin, who was originally a polite little white face, but now he has become a big man.

Zhuge Jin is an official who came out of the former Donghou Mansion.

In the past, several long history masters of Donghou Mansion were Sun Quan's top henchmen, Pang Tong and Lu Su, all of whom were in high positions, Zhuge Jin and Fa Zheng were not qualified, and now they can be regarded as entering the middle decision-making level of the court.

"Back to the king, I was indeed a little unaccustomed to it before, and because I was not accustomed to the water and soil, I lay in bed for a month!"

When Zhuge Jin heard this, he smiled slightly bitterly, and said half-loudly: "But now I have adapted to the life in the north, the north is as good as the north, and for us literati, we can still exercise!" ”

"You've been living in the south for too long, and it's time to adapt to the harsh environment in the north!" Sun Quan smiled, Zhuge Jin's adaptability was still good.

"Huh!"

Zhuge Jin smiled, as an official from Donghou Mansion, he is Sun Quan's confidant, Sun Quan put him in Northern Xinjiang, naturally Sun Quan has plans, he believes that Sun Quan will not be targeted for no reason.

"Lao Zhang, you don't have a good spirit!" Only then did Sun Quan turn his head and look at Zhang Yan, the general of the Black Mountain Army, and said, "In this battle in Northern Xinjiang, are your soldiers and horses very damaged?" ”

"The king is discerning!"

Zhang Yan's generous face was a little bitter, and said: "In this battle, the Montenegrin army was almost disabled, and the most important thing is that Yuyang, which we finally let go, was a mess in Yuyang, and the people suffered. ”

The Montenegrin Army was Zhang Yan from Montenegro all the way to the war, experienced a hundred battles, killed a soldier and horse from Jizhou, after entering the State of Wu, selected a group of people from the Yellow Turban of Montenegro to supplement, there are tens of thousands, with the equipment of the State of Wu, it is considered an elite soldier, and it can still maintain the number.

Now because of the war in Northern Xinjiang, this number is completely destroyed.

"It's not your decision to let go of Yuyang, but let you bear this notoriety for the court, and you're a little wronged, this is lonely and sorry for you!" Sun Quan sighed, let go of the charge of Yuyang, and the court couldn't bear it.

Because the court can't lose the hearts of the people of Yuyang.

In the end, Zhang Yan and the Montenegrin Army could only bear this eternal notoriety.

In order to fight Jicheng and induce Karasuma to go south, Zhang Yan withdrew from Yuyang, and Yuyang County suffered a devastating blow from the Karasuma people, and almost every household was plundered and killed.

Now the people of the entire Yuyang believe that the cowardice of the Montenegrin Army has caused their casualties, and the resentment against the Montenegrin Army has climbed to an extreme.

"The king, the last general is willing to bear the notoriety for the sake of the Wu country, for the overall situation of the war, there must be a trade-off, the last general understands, but the last general finally let go of Yuyang with his own hands, which is an indisputable fact, so the last general is here, implore the king!" Zhang Yan walked up to Sun Quan and knelt down on both knees.

"Say!" SUN Quandao,

"I ask the king, let the last general stay in Yuyang, the last general is willing to take off this military robe, just to become a parent official who revitalizes Yuyang, rebuild Yuyang, and wash away the shame of belonging to the Black Mountain Army in the hearts of the people!"

Zhang Yan said sincerely.

In this battle, he did not cry for his sons who died in battle, but he felt guilty for countless ruined families.

"Yuyang County Guard?"

Sun Quan thought about it, looked at Zhang Yan carefully, looked at the determination on his face, nodded half-loudly, and said: "Lone can let you come to be the Yuyang County Guard, which can be regarded as Lone's supplement to you, but you are the general, keep it first, one day, you will go into battle for the Wu State and fight the world again!" ”

The battle of Yuyang has left a shadow in Zhang Yan's heart, if he can't pull out this thorn, he will be depressed sooner or later, and leave him in Yuyang, even if it is to give him some time to recover.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Yan said movingly.

"Ziyu, you want to hand over the affairs of the county guard mansion to Zhang Yan in 1510, and you have to cooperate with him to control the county guard mansion!"

Sun Quan looked at Zhuge Jin and said lightly: "Then go to Jicheng with Lone, Lone to you, there are other arrangements!" ”

"No!"

Zhuge Jin nodded.

"King, what about the Black Mountain Army?"

Zhang Yan thought about it, looked at Sun Quan, and asked.

From now on, it will be listed as an independent mixed division in Youzhou, with a mix of cavalry and foot soldiers, and 13,000 soldiers will be stationed in several counties in the north of Yuyang to defend northern Xinjiang!"

Sun Quan thought for a moment and said.

"No!"

Zhang Yan nodded with his hand, he was a little reluctant to remove the number of the Black Mountain Army, but there was nothing to worry about, the Montenegrin era had passed for a long time.

This army will still be led by him, which is somewhat unexpected to him.

Wu Guo has always advocated the separation of military and political affairs, and there are few military and political positions held at the same time, Sun Quan This is the meaning of handing over Yuyang to him, and this trust made him a little moved.

"Lone tomorrow will quickly Yuyang counties, three days later, Lone will go north, hunt the grassland, let the Karasuma tribe and Louban prepare to meet Lone!"

Sun Quan said lightly.

This was one of the main reasons why he went north.

Although in the battle of Jicheng, Badun was killed, and the Karasuma soldiers were killed and wounded countless times, but there are still many Karasuma people who survived, and it is time to appease them after all.

It's a people after all.

If you want to conquer a tribe, you can't just rely on force to suppress it, you still need the kung fu of water milling.

Now the leader of Karasuma is Lou Ban, and he surrendered to Wu State, and he is not dead-hearted, if he can't do a good job of ideological work, sooner or later he will rebel.

"The king, now that Karasuma has just surrendered to the city, I am afraid that it is a little unsafe, do you need us to ask General Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses to go north and escort the king into the grassland?" Zhuge Jin thought for a while and said.

"There are 30,000 Praetorian Guards under the command of Lone, this trip is as steady as Mount Tai, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

The corners of Sun Quan's mouth raised a confident smile, and he said lightly: "Even if they are reversed, they can't kill Lone for a while!" ”

"But?"

Zhuge Jin is still a little worried, in Youzhou, many things can be controlled, but when entering the grassland, many things are not controlled.

If Sun Quan has a good one, their ten lives are not enough to die.

"Don't worry!" Sun Quan smiled and said, "This trip will follow you to the lonely north!" ”

"No!"

Zhuge Jin nodded hurriedly. (To be continued......)
