46. Ice and snow days, Ao Leopard War Reclamation Area

The weather says it changes. In early November, it snowed four times in a row as a proof that it had entered midwinter. The last snow fell two days before the winter solstice, and it still didn't stop until two days after the winter solstice. Gongsun Ying's car drove on the road leading to the northern area of reclamation. Mide couldn't see clearly what was the Tao and what wasn't. It is all the spirit of the horse that moves forward. Although this car is a four-horse caravan, it has been out of Liyang for two days, and it still hasn't reached one hundred and thirty miles. Gongsun Martingale just wanted to ask about the situation, but the car was crooked and fell into the pit. No matter how hard the coachmen, sergeants, and horses tried, the cart got stuck in a pit and couldn't get on the road. The white tiger in the car, after looking at the flying snow, persuaded: "Forget it! You can't go away from this damn weather! Gongsun Ying was anxious and sighed: "General Bai! It's because of this ghost weather that I can't rest assured that Ao Leopard! He hadn't been briefed for 15 days. Is there enough corn, salary, and clothing? How many people have been frostbitten? Twenty days ago, I brought him back! But he had to complete 60,000 acres. He's going to die as soon as he does it. If you don't look at it, how can you put it down! "Zuo Shu, you are determined to go, it's okay. Just, I'll go with you. The white tiger also thought about Ao Leopard, so he proposed to build yƬ. Gongsun Ying looked at the weather and decisively agreed: "Then, I'll go with the general?" "The two men and their sergeants, braving the heavy snow, went to the northern district. I don't know how long I walked, and I don't know how many miles I walked, before I saw the handsome flag fluttering in the wind and snow. Everyone's rejoicing! Immediately sped up and went straight to the Chinese army camp. When they arrived at the Chinese army, the room was empty. I didn't even find a gatekeeper outside. The two wondered, worried that something happened to Ao Bao here? Or Baihu was calm and hurriedly ordered the sergeant to look around! He pulled Gongsun Martingale into the house to avoid the snow. Ao Leopard was lying on the snow, and he forgot to put down the iron hoe in his hand. If it weren't for Wei Ying's personal sergeant standing in front of him, he wouldn't have believed that his mentor and General Bai would have come here? He took his hoe, left the sergeant, and galloped to the camp. After running to the camp tent house, he pushed the door and saw that his mentor and General Bai were really sitting in the house. As soon as he let go of his hand, he screamed and pounced! Gongsun Ying, who stood up in front of him, hugged him and cried. After the white tiger shut the cold wind out of the door, he came over and punched Ao Leopard, and Fang beat Ao Leopard no longer crying. Ao Leopard still had tears in his eyes and gave a military salute to the white tiger. The white tiger pulled Ao Leopard over, and said with a hard heart: "Okay, you Ao Leopard, I thought you were a tough guy with Zuo Shuchang, but I didn't expect you to be a crying egg." Since ancient times, heroes shed blood without tears? You're still a military commander. Ao Bao was stunned, his face was red with shame, he wiped his tears with his sleeve, and replied immediately: "Yes!" Great General. Shed blood without tears! ā€

"That's right!" Gongsun Ying's affectionate handful pulled Ao Leopard to sit down next to the fire kang, and caressed Ao Leopard's palms full of blood, calluses and blood bubbles in distress. "With these hands, don't say anything. You're doing a good job as a commander of the reclamation army! I order you to give the whole army a rest for forty days! The whole army returned to Liyang to rest, and the coming year will be a good spring sowing and spring harvest. ā€

"Nope. Teacher! I only need ten days, and I can complete 60,000 acres in ten days. "Ao Leopard refuses. The white tiger smiled: "You are a steel-cast Ao Leopard, your hands are not formed, and your face is frozen and swollen." If you do this, others will be even more miserable! Leopard Shuai, love soldiers like children, soldiers are desperate for generals. In previous years, if it snowed, the Qin people would not even be able to get out, but you still had to reclaim the wasteland. The crossbow of the strong bow cannot be done. Give me Mingjin to close the team! It's up to me to take a break. "Yes!" Ao Leopard took the order and ran out of the house. Outside the house, a gong sounded, followed by a drum. God also seems to be moved by these Qin people! Before the 6,000 heroes could stand, the snow and cold wind all stopped. The sun in the west showed a little face from the stratus clouds. Surrounded by the guards, Wei Ying and White Tiger walked up to the earth platform and stood under the banner of Shuai. Wei Ying faced the black and disheveled city-citizens, and raised his excited voice: "City-citizens! The title of warrior is yours. The lord has specially ordered me, Zuo Shu Chang Martingale and General Hu, to come and praise you! "On stage, the drums of war rang out. Offstage, there was a wave of voices. Drumming, ebb and flow. Gongsun Ying had already walked to the stage, found a nobleman, pulled him to the stage, and held his hand: "This is a nobleman. He wants to be as glorious as his ancestors! For the sake of Qiang Qin! Voluntarily gave up a comfortable life and came to the North District of Reclamation to reclaim the land in the ice and snow. Look at his face! His hands! Like you, his face is swollen, his hands are cracked, and his feet are broken. He and all the hundreds of nobles in the audience have not forgotten their ancestors! I didn't forget that there was noble blood flowing on my body! The country that has not forgotten its ancestors was exchanged for his life, and he must also use his life to protect it! You, whether you are nobles or Qiantou, from today onwards, are the heroes of Great Qin. Ask the general to announce the order. The White Tiger walked to the front of the stage in cheers and pointed at everyone: "Most of the military officials standing below, above the rank of chief, are warriors who have fought with me White Tiger. Today, you have added glory to the army! He also brought out this large number of warriors to the army. These warriors are you, the people of the wasteland! (The audience cheers!) I'm going to put you in the army. Let you follow my military banner and use your sword to create a powerful Qin State! Now, I order you: have a forty-day holiday, a bounty of two taels per person, and go back to Liyang with Lao Tzu! "I can't say anything. The cheers tossed the sky upside down. For more than five months, day after day, reclamation, reclamation! Have you long forgotten what is Oak Yang? What is Family? What is Hot Ondol? Ao Bao knew this mood, picked up the drumstick and beat it randomly, and finally calmed down the cheers. He threw away the drumsticks, walked to the front of the stage, and said with a stern face: "Listen, all departments! When you return to the city, you must cherish your reputation that you have earned through blood and sweat. The various departments will march into the city, and there must be no chaos! Get a good night's sleep today! Tomorrow morning, the centurions of each team will go to the brigade commander to receive the bounty. Forty days later, all the ministries gathered here and took a roll call! Disband! "Wait until we get back to the marshal's camp. Ao Bao said regretfully: "In six, seven, eight and three months, our army can open up three points of land in a day, and disclose 162,000 acres. After entering Bailu and planting the winter wheat in the fields that had been cultivated, from September 19 to November 10 yesterday, these 51 days, people leveled the wasteland for less than two points, and only 53,000 acres were opened, and I wanted to open it to 60,000 yuan. ā€

The white tiger laughed: "Boy, be content!" Your 6,000 people have opened 215,000 acres this year, that's okay. Next year, Lao Tzu will expand your army to 12,000 people, transfer it to Yuanli, and defend the city and open up wasteland. Enough for you to be busy. Walk! Go back to Liyang with Lao Tzu! ā€
