Walking in the blizzard against the wind, Chu Haoyu's face was cold, and there was a touch of melancholy in his eyes.

After the army set off, Wang Zijie, an old scout, led the way, and the road was quite smooth, but on the fourth day, there were snowflakes in the sky. The snow became more and more intense, and the biting cold wind hung over the neck and face like a knife. In just one day and night, the snow was already close to a foot, and the army could only lead the horses forward.

Another gust of wind swept by, making a miserable whine like a wolf's roar, mixed with snowflakes, cold and biting.

Shaking off the snow on his hat, Chu Zheng spat and scolded, "What the fuck is this weather? It's a blizzard and a strong wind, and I can't open my eyes. After a pause, Chu Zheng looked at Chu Haoyu and said, "Young Master, at this speed, when will we be able to rush to the Tiemu Department?" You can't walk thirty miles in a day, hum! ”

Hearing Chu Zheng's cold snort, Chu Haoyu's sword eyebrows couldn't help but tremble. Shaking his head, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle Zheng, you often march and fight, don't you know how to distinguish the weather?" When do you think the snow will stop? ”

With another cold snort, Chu Zheng shouted impatiently: "Look at the weather? This ghost weather, I can't even see the sky, what kind of weather do you see? The ghost weather in the desert, no one can say, just like yesterday, the sun was shining a moment ago, and it would snow heavily. This blizzard may stop in a while, and it may be three or five days next, but," in the elongated voice, Chu Zheng deliberately stepped heavily into the snow, and shouted: "Such a thick snow, even if it stops, it won't melt in ten days and a half months." ”

After a moment of silence, Chu Haoyu nodded, but his face became more and more cold, if the army was trapped in the wind and snow, it would be a joke. Suddenly, sensing a rapid figure passing behind him, Chu Haoyu turned his head to look over.

Soon, a white figure appeared in front of Chu Haoyu. Chong Chu Haoyu hugged his fists and saluted, and the person who came said in a deep voice: "General Song, General Chuan Lin ordered that the front army stop advancing and wait for the arrival of the army." ”

Nodding his head to show that he understood, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "The last general understands." Someone came, and ordered the army to stop advancing. ”

When the army stopped, they snuggled up to each other to keep warm. Wang Zijie, who rushed to get the news, looked at the herald and then looked at Chu Haoyu, and also smiled bitterly. Finally, Wang Zijie spoke: "General Song, if the last general sends someone to carefully investigate whether there are any tribes in the vicinity, if you can find one, it will be much better tonight." Moreover, although it is only a dozen miles away from the Chinese army, it is night for them to come in this ghost weather. ”

After thinking for a moment, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said: "With such a big wind and snow, just choose some good kung fu within a radius of ten miles." After a pause, Chu Haoyu continued: "Otherwise, you are south and I am north, so that the speed can be faster, Uncle Zheng, you can bring a few guards!" ”

Clenched his fists and saluted Chu Haoyu, Wang Zijie said, "Then the general will thank the general." ”

Lin Changqing led the Chinese army to arrive, and it was already time. After a bowl of hot soup, Lin Changqing's face had a hint of color, and he said with a smile: "Thanks to the two generals who found this camp, otherwise, I would have to eat cold beef tonight." ”

Chang Ruhai also smiled and praised: "I haven't eaten hot food for several days, this bowl of broth, the last general thinks it's better than anything, give me ten taels of gold and don't change it." ”

Under the gaze of the two, Chu Haoyu said lightly: "The last general didn't think about it so much, it was all General Wang's proposal. ”

Seeing this, Wang Zijie hurriedly spoke: "General Song is too modest, this tent has not been found by General Chu and a few people?" ”

Waving his hand to stop the two, Lin Changqing smiled and said, "The two of you don't have to prevaricate, let's think about how to march!" Speaking of this, Lin Changqing looked at Wang Zijie and said, "General Wang, you should talk about the current situation first. ”

Suddenly, Wang Zijie no longer had a smile on his face, and after saluting Lin Changqing with his fists, he said: "Before leaving, the last general has carefully calculated the distance between the Tuoba Department, the Tatar Golden Horde and the Iron and Wood Department, and asked the general to use the map. ”

Putting the map on the table, Lin Changqing retreated to the side, seeing this, Wang Zijie bowed again and stepped forward, pointed to the location of the Tuoba Department and said: "This is where the Eagle Department is located, this place is about more than 400 miles away from the Tatar Golden Horde, and the horses are fast and whipped day and night, and it will be possible to arrive in three days to send the news of our army's appearance in Mobei to the Golden Horde." Then, Battle sent troops to the Tuoba Department at the same time, and summoned the Temu tribe, that is, the Wolf Tribe, to send troops. ”

Moving his finger to the location of the Tiemu tribe, Wang Zijie continued: "The Tatar Golden Horde is more than six hundred miles away from the Tiemu Ministry, even if it runs all the way, it will take seven or eight days to work, and then the whole army will go on the expedition, and we are already halfway there." Therefore, a few days ago, we all advanced along the Adar grassland, but when we were about to reach the Temu Clan, we entered the Danba Desert to avoid the wolf army, but," After a pause, Wang Zijie shook his head and said: "According to this time, these two days should have been the day when the wolf department will send troops, but in this blizzard, it is difficult to say whether the wolf department will send troops." ”

Seeing that Lin Changqing and the others were in deep thought, Wang Zijie continued: "Now, we should be in this position, about two hundred miles away from the Tiemu Clan. Moreover, the admiral estimated that Battle's personal guards had already pursued him. After talking about the status quo again, Wang Zijie shut up and stopped talking, waiting for Lin Changqing's decision.

After a moment of silence, Lin Changqing finally opened his mouth and asked with a smile, "General Song, how do you think we should go?" ”

Chu Haoyu did not speak out immediately, but considered whether to avoid it for the time being, or continue to assault the Tiemu Clan. After thinking for a moment, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked, "General, did you say that the Tiemu Clan would send troops?" ”

Hearing Chu Haoyu's words, Lin Changqing had already guessed what Chu Haoyu was thinking, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "As long as you receive an order from the Golden Horde, you will have to fight regardless of whether the wolf department is willing or not." However, how much can be produced, Ben will not be able to guess. ”

Nodding, Chu Haoyu said in a deep voice: "Since the Tiemu Clan has sent troops, then we will continue to the Tiemu Clan, along the Adar Grassland. If the wolf tribe does not send many troops, eat them directly, if there are too many, stagger them in advance and then assault the ironwood tribe. ”

With a soft sigh, Lin Changqing looked at Chang Ruhai and Wang Zijie and asked, "What do the two generals think?" ”

Hehe laughed, Chang Ruhai opened his mouth and shouted: "I think this plan is feasible, and the general has no opinion." ”

Seeing the gaze of the main general Lin Changqing, Wang Zijie opened his mouth and said: "The last general has no opinion, it's just that I don't know how long this snowstorm will last, if it keeps raining like this, I am afraid that the forage brought by the army will not be enough, and once there are no war horses, it will be a big trouble." ”

At this moment, Cao Han, the chief historian who was standing in a solemn corner, opened his mouth and said, "So, we must destroy the Iron and Wood Department." ”

Seeing that several people looked at him, Cao Han said lightly: "In this kind of blizzard, horses are a burden, even if the wind and snow stop, it is difficult to get on the horse if the snow is too thick." So, only one batch is left in case of emergency, and all the others are killed. ”

Killing the war horse, in this vast grassland, is equivalent to a shipwreck. Suddenly, everyone's eyes were on the main general Lin Changqing.

After a short silence, Lin Changqing had already made a decision, and said in a deep voice: "General Wang, tomorrow you will personally lead a group of scouts along the Adar grassland, and you must find the whereabouts of the wolf army." ”

Without any hesitation, Wang Zijie shouted in a deep voice: "The last general will be ordered!" ”

Turning his gaze on Chu Haoyu, Lin Changqing continued: "General Song, Ben will send all the forage to the Shenwei Battalion, you must keep the horses in the best condition and ready to attack at any time, so from tomorrow onwards, you will no longer be a front army, and you will be by the side of Ben General." ”

Chu Haoyu bowed down and bowed: "The last general will be ordered!" ”

Seeing that Chu Haoyu and Wang Zijie had both received military orders, but they were cold on the side, Chang Ruhai couldn't help but be anxious, and opened his mouth to ask, "General, what about the last general?" ”

Glancing at Chang Ruhai, Lin Changqing opened his mouth and said, "If you want to be really idle, kill the horse!" Seeing that Chang Ruhai opened his mouth wide and didn't know why, Lin Changqing could only shake his head and said, "Sharpen the knife!" ”

Suddenly, Chang Ruhai opened his mouth and laughed, shouting: "The last general has an order, this is going!" ”

The blizzard lasted for three days, and the snow was nearly two feet thick, making every step extremely difficult, and from time to time the wind swept snowflakes across everyone's faces, bringing a biting cold. In such weather, the marching speed was extremely slow, and it was only more than 30 miles a day, but on the evening of the fourth day, Wang Zijie rushed back.

Holding his fists and saluting Lin Changqing, Wang Zijie opened his mouth and said: "General Qiyu, I have found the wolf army, about 3,000 people, thirty miles away from here at noon, and now, there should be twenty miles away." ”

Seeing Wang Zijie, a smile already appeared on Lin Changqing's face, and after listening to Wang Zijie's words, he nodded and smiled: "Seeing Zijie's happy face, I knew that there would be good news, and it was really good news." ”

Looking at Lin Changqing, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked, "How does the general plan to annihilate these three thousand people?" ”

Lin Changqing didn't answer, but asked with a smile: "What is General Song's plan?" ”

Without thinking about it, Chu Haoyu said directly: "Launch a surprise attack at dawn, in such a cold weather, as long as you are quick with your hands and feet, you will definitely be able to wipe out these three thousand people." ”

chuckled, but Lin Changqing shook his head and said: "On such a cold day, the wolf army will definitely sleep together, unless there is not a weak martial arts, otherwise I am afraid that the wolf warriors will wake up." Moreover, such a thick snow can't be impacted by the speed of horses, once the wolf army is awakened, it will definitely fall into a struggle, then the loss will be great! ”

After thinking for a while, Chu Haoyu understood that what Lin Changqing said was true, and his thoughts were indeed a little naïve. After all, the wolf department is an elite division in Mobei, and the slightest change may wake them up, and this kind of weather cannot be impacted by fast horses, if the two armies are entangled, even if the wolf department of 3,000 people is annihilated, they will be bitten off a piece of meat, this kind of loss is something that Lin Changqing cannot bear.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chu Haoyu couldn't come up with any good way, and finally had to set his eyes on Lin Changqing.

Seeing the eyes of the two, Lin Changqing smiled to himself and said, "Snow is our biggest difficulty, but it will also be our best cover." ”

Looking at the smile on Lin Changqing's face, Chu Haoyu seemed to understand what he was thinking, and at the same time sighed in his heart, compared with a commander like Lin Changqing, his ideas were still not thoughtful enough, and he was slightly deficient in the way of adaptation.
