Liu Ze's team was stationed in Baimadu, it was cold, Liu Ze had already put on a robe of fox skin, but it was difficult to stop the cold north wind. Five hundred archers also changed into leather clothes, this time from the Phoenix Valley, the archers are each equipped with a set of summer clothes, a set of winter clothes, summer clothes are a unified standard, but the winter clothes are mixed, some wear wolf skin, some wear bear skin, and some wear rabbit skin, piece by piece, there is white and gray, like a map.

However, compared with Huangfu Song's army, Liu Ze's team equipment is good, and the soldiers of many battalions have no winter clothes at all, so they can only wear more linen military uniforms on their bodies, which is better than nothing.

This made Liu Ze very helpless, in addition to silk in the Han Dynasty, it was linen, silk was worn by people in the upper class, and linen was worn by the lower classes, also called coarse cloth, and the warmth was poor. Liu Ze really misses the comfortable and warm cotton clothes, and if each person is given one piece of economical and affordable cotton clothes, why is he afraid of this cold and harsh winter? It's a pity that people in this era don't know what cotton is.

"In the year of Ruixue Zhaofeng, next year's harvest will definitely be good, but I hope that the eight years of Guangzhi will be better than this year." Guan Yu was born in the lower class, and naturally valued the suffering of the people, and the seven years of light and the seven years were for the people of the world, natural disasters and man-made disasters went hand in hand, and it was indeed a year of deep suffering.

Liu Ze smiled and said: "The court should have changed the yuan, this year is the first year of Zhongping, and next year will be the second year of Zhongping." ”

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "Big brother, how did you learn about the change of the court to the yuan?" Changing the yuan is a big deal, and it has to be told to the world. ”

Liu Ze smiled mysteriously and said, "It's almost the end of the year, and I believe that the imperial court's edict on changing the yuan has arrived in the past two days." ”

Zhang Fei snorted and said: "Changing it to a fart has nothing to do with the common people." There should be a war and a war, and a hungry stomach should still have a hungry belly. Damn people have to die, and changing it to something is also fooling people. ”

Liu Ze and Guan Yu looked at each other and smiled. Zhang Fei's big truth is really cute.

Zhang Fei pointed to the river and said, "Big brother, look, there are people on the river." Liu Ze looked at it, and sure enough, there were people on the river who came from the west from afar, and they were still knocking on the ice.

Zhang Fei said: "These people are really dead, not only walking on the ice but also beating while walking." "A few days ago, a few ordinary people were walking on the Yellow River, which was about to be frozen, and they were swallowed up by the cracked ice in the blink of an eye, which Zhang Fei saw with his own eyes.

Liu Ze thought that in later generations, some people called Jin Bing, Yuan Bing, Iron Horse, and Jin Ge to cross the frozen Yellow River. Isn't that nonsense, kindergarten children know that they can't go to the river to play on the lake in winter, the story of ice caves eating people is staged every year, especially in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, after the ice freezes in winter, the ice situation is not stable at all, the thickness along the coast can reach up to 20 centimeters, but the ice in the center of the river is often only a few centimeters thick, so more than ten miles wide on the glacier. Large-scale ice cracking occurs from time to time, if thousands of troops and horses drive to the glacier, how can the fragile ice bear, it is estimated that those golden soldiers and soldiers really cross the river, they are afraid that they will have already reached the stomach of the fish and shrimp in the Yellow River. The ice is so safe. Isn't Luo Shengjiao blind in vain?

Since someone was walking on the ice, Liu Ze greeted him and saw that it was a few ordinary people. "Fellows, it's not safe on the ice. Go ashore. ”

When the ordinary people saw Liu Ze dressed in military attache clothes, they saluted and said, "Xiaomin see the general." The small people are the fishermen along the Yellow River. In summer and autumn, he sailed in the Yellow River to fish, and in winter he fished in the ice on the Yellow River, and he begged for the bowl of rice in the Yellow River. ”

Only then did Liu Ze notice that the shoes they wore were different, with a long wooden board tied to the sole, which was somewhat similar to the skis of later generations, no wonder they could walk peacefully on the ice, and each of them carried a large fishing basket. Liu Ze said with interest: "How to chisel ice and fish in winter? ”

An elderly fisherman said respectfully: "General Hui, after the Yellow River freezes in winter, the fish can't breathe in the water, so they will float up to breathe, and when they get close to the ice, they will freeze. ”

As he spoke, he demonstratively carved a small hole in the ice, just enough to accommodate one hand, and plunged into the icy river water, and actually took out a Yellow River carp more than a foot long.

Liu Ze had never seen such a peculiar way of fishing, and he was amazed.

The old fisherman said, "You have to dig the ice to fish in the morning, and when the afternoon sun shines and the ice warms up, the frozen fish will wake up and escape, and there will be no more fish under the ice." Let's give this fish to the general. ”

Liu Ze excused himself, and then simply bought a few baskets of fish for them, this year's great famine, food prices skyrocketed, and the supply of military food in the officer and soldier camp was also scarce, and now the food of the archers and the Phoenix Valley is very different, two meals a day are barely mixed with food and clothing, which makes Liu Ze's soldiers who are used to eating three meals extremely uncomfortable, not to mention what to ensure quality and nutrition, buy a few baskets of fish back today, and just improve their food.

Chatting with the fishermen, Liu Ze learned that in the shallow water area on the bank of the river, the ice is generally thick, and there is no danger for people to step on it, but it is different when it comes to the deep water area in the center of the river, where the ice is thin, and some sections of the river do not even freeze at all.

Liu Ze said goodbye to the fishermen, returned to the camp, and handed over a few baskets of fish to the gang. At this time, Guan Hai came back from outside with a smile, carrying a yellow sheep that he had just hunted on his shoulder. There is nothing to do in winter, Guan Hai often goes out to hunt, but the banks of the Yellow River are not better than the Taihang Mountains and Forests, there are no big prey, and after a few days of hunting, I hunted a few dry and thin hares, and today I was lucky to hunt a very fat yellow sheep.

Zhang Feiting said happily: "You can fight the tooth sacrifice tonight." ”

Liu Ze gave him a blank look, this foodie came to him as soon as he heard that there was something delicious, but seriously, Liu Ze was also a little salivating, and the birds in his mouth had faded out of his mouth in the past few days.

According to Zhang Fei's opinion, the sheep was immediately slaughtered and skinned, thrown into the pot and boiled to eat. However, Liu Ze had other ideas, and ordered someone to slaughter the yellow sheep, divide it into several large pieces, and freeze it in the ice and snow. He also ordered Pan Feng to go to the nearby market to buy some sesame paste, leeks, flowers, vermicelli, fungus, mushrooms, tofu, Chinese cabbage and other items, Liu Zeting missed the shabu mutton in his previous life, and was ready to invite them to eat a unique mutton shabu tomorrow.

Although Zhang Fei was quite greedy, he could only give up looking at the frozen mutton outside the tent. (To be continued......)
