This year's Hedong feels colder earlier than usual, and the cold winter comes sooner. ＂＂

The whistling north wind carried snow particles mixed with raindrops and smashed on the surface of the armor, and those iron black bright light armor were put on the body, making people feel as if they were frozen in a large lump of ice.

This is the first snow in Hedong this year, and it has arrived early in the beginning of November. The rain and snow fell one after another, and it was not goose feather snow, but it was a snow particle that hit the face and made people feel pain. The snow was mixed with the rain, and some of it had not yet fallen to the ground, but it had been mixed together in the north wind and rain, and it was cold and sticky when it fell on the body. The two alternately fell on the bodies of people and livestock, and in the blink of an eye, a thick layer was frozen.

This kind of armor made of ice looked very spectacular from a distance, especially the large group of people and horses marching in a long line of silver-black steel rolling between the heavens and the earth. But the person wrapped under the ice armor was extremely uncomfortable, and the snow melted by the body temperature burrowed into the inner layer of clothing along the neck, the gap in the chest armor, and everywhere possible, until it reached the depths of the human bone marrow, and the person was already numb. But you can't reach out and wipe it yet, because if you move, the north wind, which is already looking for gaps in the body, will immediately carry snow particles into the only place on your back, chest and abdomen that still has a little warmth.

"Ahh Fucking freeze to death! ”

Finally, there was someone in the team who couldn't stand it, and it was a young man in his twenties who was frozen and his face was flushed. In the snow and rain, his teeth were already chattering, and the cloak on his body was already completely wet, and the little heat on his body was constantly losing with the heat that kept rising out.

A veteran with a dark face on the side looked at the young man's appearance, showed a mouth full of white teeth and smiled, untied the wine bag on his waist and handed it over, "It's okay to take two bites, it doesn't look like you grew up in the north." ”

"Thank you, Captain!" The young man hurriedly took the wine bag, opened his neck tremblingly, and poured a large sip of wine. Wine in the throat. The young man immediately felt like a fire spreading down his throat and into his lower abdomen. The surging flame-like feeling made the guy's face even redder.

His eyes suddenly brightened, and the young man seemed to wake up from the freeze. The refreshing feeling made him shiver. With a long sigh, the young man handed the wine bag back to the young man, and said gratefully, "Boy, I am from Huainan, because my father was working by His Royal Highness King Chen's side, and he only moved to Liaodong with his mother this year. I have never seen such cold weather in Huainan. It feels like I'm about to freeze. ”

When the old guy heard that the young man's father was actually working by King Chen's side, his expression couldn't help but brighten, and even his attitude became a little closer.

"I don't know which side of the army Ling Zun is next to His Royal Highness King Chen, is it Yu Linwei or Jin Wuwei?"

"It's the royal forest silver armor with sword guards next to His Highness!" When the young man said this, the whole person was also in high spirits, and there was an indescribable sense of pride in his expression.

The old man's mouth was wide open, and his eyes were full of admiration and respect when he looked at the young man.

"The Imperial Forest Silver Armor Guards with Knives are really remarkable, they are second only to the Kingswood Golden Armor Guards with Knives. I heard that there are only 1,080 guards with swords in the royal forest, and Ling Zun can actually be in this position. Serving by His Highness's side is really envious to me. By the way, since Ling Zun is a silver-armored guard of the Royal Forest, according to the usual rules, shouldn't you be able to go to the Breaking Army Lecture Hall to enter the non-commissioned officer training camp, how did you get to the bottom. ”

The guy smiled slightly, "I just finished half a year of teaching in the non-commissioned officer training camp before, and I was originally going to go to Jin Wuwei to be a trainee leader." But my father disagreed. It is said that he is still young, and he should go down to exercise more and receive more tempering. This time, my father knew that His Royal Highness King Chen had sent General Wang Lao into Hedong, so he specially interceded with Chief Chen's guard, and only then did he allow me to join General Wang Lao and enter Hedong. ”…,

After hearing this, the old guy couldn't help but be in awe. I didn't expect that this young rookie recruit was not only the son of the seven-rank royal forest silver armor guard with a sword, but also didn't expect that at such an age, he was already a young officer who graduated from the Broken Army Martial Arts Hall. He knew that His Royal Highness attached great importance to the Broken Army Lecture Hall, and it was rumored in the army that all the officers who could get the Broken Army Lecture Hall to study belonged to the most favored elite in the army, and they would be more appreciated after graduation. But he didn't expect it. This young man has no arrogance in him, even so polite to an old man like himself.

The old guy stretched out his rough hand and patted the young man's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will help you hide your identity." Well done. You don't have a bright future. This time, His Highness sent Marshal Wang into Hedong, although only 5,000 soldiers and horses were transferred. However, I heard that His Royal Highness attaches great importance to the affairs of Hedong, and before Marshal Wang left Beijing, he was summoned by His Royal Highness King Chen to the palace for a day of talking. This time when he entered Hedong, as long as he performed well, he would definitely be able to gain more military merits than in other places. When you stay in Hedong for two or three years, if you pacify Hedong, I'm afraid that you may be able to rise to the same level as Ling Zun by then. ”

The young man smiled, showing his neat teeth, and his gaze looking into the distance was full of desire and confidence to make a contribution.

Just a few days ago, Chen Kefu recalled Wang Rengong, a veteran of the town's garrison, to Beijing. Then he had a detailed conversation with Wang Rengong for a whole day, and then Chen Kefu immediately ordered that Wang Rengong be appointed as the head of the march of the Western Expedition Camp, and appointed Changsun Wuji as the chief of the long army, Luo Lin as the deputy head of the march, Zhang Jin as the marching Sima, and Wei Chigong as the vanguard of the march, and immediately led 5,000 light horsemen to cross the Taihang Mountain, out of the flying fox, into the east of the river, and crusaded against Li Yuan, the minister who killed the monarch and conspired against him.

Chen Kefu's original plan was originally to personally lead the army into Hedong, and take advantage of the current crisis when the Li family is in danger, and destroy it first. However, now the Liaodong Army has fought in three battlefields: Jiangdu, Shandong, and Hebei. Moreover, Hebei has a serious shortage of grain, although he has come up with ways to raise grain one by one, but it is still impossible to completely solve it in the short term. If a large army is transferred to the east of the river, it will be difficult to solve this heavy logistical supply problem. It is winter now, and it will be rain and snow soon, and in the face of the high Taihang Mountains, there is food, but it is also very difficult to cross the Taihang Mountains and supply a large army to the west.

For reasons before and after, Chen Kefu had to temporarily adjust his strategy towards Hedong. stopped the all-out war of the Great Army against Hedong, and instead sent Wang Rengong, who had served as a taishou in Mayi and was very familiar with Hedong. Lead a light cavalry to Hedong and let it open up the Hedong battlefield first. After the next spring, when the grain problem is resolved and the situation in Hebei and Shandong is more relaxed, a large army will be transferred to Hedong.

Flying fox, also known as flying fox. It is located in the north of present-day Laiyuan County and the south of Wei County in present-day Hebei Province. Two cliffs stand steeply, a line of micro-communication, more than 100 miles of meandering. The ancients: Standing on the flying fox, strangling the back, entering the secluded and swallow. The best place also.

At this time, in this narrow passage, the five thousand cavalry all dismounted and walked slowly, and the whole team was pulled into a long silver-black dragon.

"Bad boys, shut up for me, I can't stand this cold, then you go back to Beijing as soon as possible, go home and drink your mother's milk." Lao Tzu's expedition to the west camp is not to go to Hedong to visit the kiln to find the kiln sister, but Lao Tzu's expedition to the west camp is to find the bad luck of the monarch killer Li Yuan and his son, and make meritorious contributions. is a gentleman, just cheer up Lao Tzu. Who told Lao Tzu to strip him naked and throw him into the ice cave! ”

Wang Rengong rode on a horse. Standing on a small high slope beside the road, the rain and snow made his body accumulate a layer of white frost armor, and even the white beard was frozen by the snow. He narrowed his eyes and laughed loudly at the soldiers who shouted cold. …,

"It's all hot for Lao Tzu to run, and when he arrives at the Black Mountain Fortress, where roasted golden fat sheep and delicious spirits are ready! When Lao Tzu arrives, you will take a day off to recuperate, and when you take a hot bath, as long as you have money, you can also find two white and greasy girls to cool off. ”

"Oh!" The sluggish soldiers instantly recovered a little bit of energy, shouting with white smoke. The woman in the hot house is soft and makes everyone salivate just thinking about it.

The Flying Fox is different from other Taihang Sects, and most of the other Sects are one and only two places. However, the Flying Fox is connected to many places, and the Flying Fox starts from Laiyuan, Hebei, and passes through Shangzhuang, Chadao, and Beikou to Wei County, Hedong. It is the main road of Yanzhao Tonghu in history. It is also an important pass to the Turks and Liaodong in the north, to Hedong, Guanlong and Hexi in the west, and to Henan and Jianghuai in the south.

This passage is not only a soldier's main road. It is also a necessary place for traders from the north and south over the years.

The merchants and the mule gangs that transport goods from the south to the north of the Flying Fox are in groups, and the merchants, donkeys and mules transport all kinds of materials, which are endless, and they travel back and forth between the ancient Flying Fox Road day and night. When these mule gangs went north, they carried silk and tea from the south of the Yangtze River, daily necessities from Hebei, small homespun cloth from the Central Plains, and red dates, persimmons, walnuts and so on from Laiyuan and other places. After passing the Flying Fox Ancient Road, to Zhuo County, some unloading along the way is the end point; Some crossed Zhuojun and went straight to Yanmen Mayi. Or continue across the Great Desert towards the Turkic steppe. When he turned around and went south, he transported the furs, meat, dairy products, miscellaneous grains, old wine, and hemp ropes, medicinal herbs, millet, window flowers, clay pots, and large urns from the grassland and the outside of the Saiwai Fortress, crossed the Flying Fox Ancient Road, walked towards the Hebei Plain, and walked to the Bohai Sea between the Zhuojun Rivers along the canal to the Jianghuai Lingnan, leading to the wharf of Jianghan Jingzhou. The north entrance of the Flying Fox Ancient Road has become the distribution center of materials from the north and south, and people call it the North Exit Dry Wharf, and over time, the market here is prosperous, and a town has gradually formed.

In the past, the imperial court also set up a yamen here to conquer Rui, but it did not build a city. After the Liaodong Army moved south, it immediately seized and controlled the Flying Fox. From Laiyuan to the northeast to climb the mountain beam, the Liaodong army built a black mountain fortress on this high point, stationed 1,000 soldiers and horses. Montenegro Fort is located in the watershed of the Laiyuan Basin and the Huliu River Valley. There is a large rift valley in the Cuiping Mountains to the north along the road, also known as the Flying Fox Canyon.

The north side of the Great Rift Valley of Cuiping Mountain is the Beikou Market, Cuiping Mountain blocks the way here like a wall, and the ancient Feihu Pass that guards the north entrance of the Flying Fox is here, but the Guancheng has fallen into disrepair in the early years, leaving only an enemy platform nearby. Luo Zhong, the old general stationed in the Flying Fox Mountain, stationed in the Taihang Mountain Flying Fox, Puyin Mountain, Jing Cheng Sancheng, he immediately built the Black Mountain Fort on the North Mountain, and built a very strong Guancheng Flying Fox Pass at the north entrance of the canyon under the mountain, and built a North Mouth City at the location of the North Exit Market not far away.

Wang Rengong's 5,000 soldiers and horses entered the east of the river, along the passage in front of them to the west, and this north pass was the last pass before entering the east of the river. When it passes the frontier of the Black Mountain Fortress, it will be the territory of the east of the river, and the westernmost is Lingqiu City in Yanmen County.

The wind and snow were all over the sky, the north wind was calling, and a line of black dots was conspicuous in this silver-covered world, and it gradually approached the Flying Fox Pass at the north entrance.

Looking at the towering Flying Fox Pass in the new city in the distance, Wang Rengong couldn't help but feel complicated in his heart.

A few years ago, he went south from Mayi in Hedong to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and it was also this time, but he never thought that his life would change so dramatically when he left. He went from a degraded Ma Yi Taishou to an inexplicable rebel Chen Kefu, and he had to go away to Liaodong by the Luoshui River.

Originally, he thought that this might be the biggest joke God had ever made with him. He was a famous general of the Sui Dynasty and an important minister of the imperial court, but he was first involved in the rebellion of Yang Xuangan because of his relatives, and was inexplicably demoted to the remote Ma Yi Taishou. Not a year has passed, outside the eastern capital, but inexplicably involved with Chen Kefu, who was declared a rebellious minister, and was forced to leave the country again. …,

originally thought that this life would be over like this, and he would die in a foreign country like this.

But who would have thought that time has changed, and this day has changed like this.

In just one year, Mayi Yanmen was invaded by the Turks, and the emperor was besieged by Yanmen. Then there was a series of changes, the emperor died, the Great Sui was in chaos, and the world was divided. originally thought that he would never be able to turn over again, but he never expected that the rebel army in the past has now become the strongest force in the world, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

It was he, an old man, who turned over again overnight and became the general of the Liaodong Army. Previously, the town guarded the capital of the army, and he was also the deputy chief of staff of the staff headquarters, and also the deputy Shanzheng of the military martial arts.

This time, Chen Kefu summoned him back to Beijing with a military order, and appointed him as the head of the camp to march westward, and ordered him to lead the army to attack the Tang Dynasty. Although there are not many soldiers and horses, this trust makes him feel very excited. Commanding the army again, the long-lost passion made him feel uncontrollable.

Looking at the continuous mountains of Taihang, Wang Rengong's heart fluctuated, this time he entered the east of the river, and he must let everyone know that he was a famous general of the Great Sui, and he was in vain. This time when he entered Hedong, he wanted to prove that the sword was not old.

A gust of north wind blew, and he couldn't help but think of a poem in the Book of Songs.

"In the past, I went back, and the willows followed; Now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling. ”
