The fastest update, no pop-up ads, all free to read
A thousand cavalrymen, dragging ten climbing plows of the newly made zuò, rushed all the way to Chang'an, but on the road there were those who dared to block their way to kill no forgiveness, if there were peeps to kill no forgiveness, if there were officials who moved at will, there was no forgiveness.
Hong Cheng returned to Chang'an with a murderous aura, and also brought a few letters from Yun Ye, as well as He Shao's bills, He Shao really didn't want to be chased and killed by General Chai Shao, so he had to handle these trivial matters before the army returned to Beijing, as long as it was the property of the soldiers in Guanzhong, He Shao needed to ask the family to send someone to deliver it to others one by one, and then get the receipt from Li Zheng, and the transaction was over.
After giving all the goods to Li Jing, He Shao became a poor egg, and Yun Ye was also a poor egg, but he had just made a fortune, Kang Sumi was taken away by Hongcheng, and he didn't know where to send it, Yun Ye thought that if anyone wanted to find Kang Sumi, it would be more reliable to go to the Netherworld Mansion.
At the end of the snow in the distance, red feathers came out, followed by a Hongling envoy in full armor, stumbling back on horseback, and before he reached the gate of the camp, he tore open his hoarse throat and shouted: "Great victory, great victory, our army has cut 30,000." 100,000 prisoners, Jieli is on the run. ”
A sergeant had already buckled his helmet with red feathers on his head, tightened it, and untied the cowhide letterhead from the tired soldier, and after the three officers checked that the fire paint was sealed, the six men galloped towards Chang'an with twelve horses.
The camp was like an ant's nest watered with boiling water, in a mess, Zhang Gongjin's big mouth was never closed, as the first minister to build yì Li Er's determination to attack the Eastern Turks, now the merit is complete. He couldn't be happy.
"Okay, the Eastern Turks have now been hit by the thunder of the governor, and it is difficult to have a chance to make a comeback, this battle can keep me safe for 30 years in the Tang Dynasty. I can return to my hometown victoriously, but it's a pity that I ran away, otherwise. This battle will surely be glorious for eternity. ”
"The general is too worried, this time our army is besieging from five directions, how can we let Jieli easily run to Xue Yantuo. General Li Ji will not let me down. Now that the chief has been fighting for a long time, it is a difficult season when people are sleepy and lacking, so why don't we move the camp forward, so as to welcome the triumph of the soldiers as soon as possible. ”
There is no need for Yun Ye to say this, naturally there are generals in the army who put it forward, and everyone is worried about the casualties of the soldiers in front, because the messenger of the message fainted after coming to the camp, Yun Ye carefully examined his body and wiped it with warm water. Wrapped in a thick blanket and put to sleep in an igloo. This is already the warmest place in the camp.
"Yunhou, this time I have to rely on your strength, when it comes to whimsy, I can't wait for a horse. If it is freezing today, the old man has no other extravagant hopes, he only hopes that Yunhou can give the soldiers of the expedition a warm place to live, a mouthful of delicious hot soup, and appease these good sons and daughters of the Tang Dynasty. ”
Zhang Gongjin had tears in his eyes, he almost didn't dare to imagine what the situation of the 10,000 soldiers who went out on the expedition was in the ice and snow. It is common for people to freeze to death in the camp by themselves, not to mention those soldiers who climb the ice and lie in the snow.
"Zhang Gong's words, I am also a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, these things are also my business, how dare I refuse, these days we have made three hundred climbing plows, can quickly walk in the snow, especially gratifying is that we actually found peat outside the camp, this is the good news, with these peat, I will definitely ensure that the soldiers return to have hot kang, there is food, as for the wine, it depends on whether the general is willing to give up."
Yun Ye was in a very good mood, the soldiers who dug a pit for his dead brother yesterday actually dug out the coal mine, which was simply an accident, Yun Ye hurriedly borrowed three hundred auxiliary soldiers from Zhang Gongjin to dig coal, just one day, he had already dug a lot of coal, seeing the coal, Yun Ye remembered that China's largest open-pit coal mine is in this area, thinking about the other day, he was frozen like a dog, it is really a great irony. …,
The messenger who woke up recounted the bitter battle on the front line, all the generals in the big tent gasped, the fierce battle lasted for two whole days, if it wasn't for Jieli to escape first, who won and who lost is still between the two, the 10,000 army froze to death more than 2,000, and the battle dead also reached 2,000, you know, they are the most elite soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, there are generals who take the plow to take the soldiers to meet Li Jing, who is tired from the long battle, they need to rest too much.
Yun Ye was busy building the snow house, Zhang Gongjin was scrapping the tent, and he wanted to let the triumphant soldiers have a good rest, which was the limit of what Zhang Gongjin, who had always been picky, could do.
Coal is a big problem, it will create soot, one is not good, the soldiers in the snow room did not die on the battlefield, but died in the warm snow room, Yun Ye's fun will be great, I believe that from the emperor to the soldiers, no one will let him go.
You need to take risks to do things, from ancient times to the present day without exception, fortunately, there is plenty of time, which gives Yun Ye time to move around, it is still the old way, making stoves, chimneys, and the master blacksmith in the army is not comparable to the two knife blacksmiths of the Yun family, with a large number of Turkic scimitars, there is no need to worry about no iron, and the iron fan made of sand can cast more than a dozen furnaces in one day. originally thought that he needed to make iron sheets and tell the worries in his heart to the head of the craftsmen, who would have thought that the omnipotent Yun Ye was despised and driven out of the craftsman camp.
According to the head of the camp: "Yunhou is a person who cares about military affairs, and these small things don't bother Yunhou." ”
When Yun Ye needed an iron stove, two hundred iron stoves were neatly stacked in the open space of the craftsman's camp, and each furnace was installed with an iron pipe that was one foot high, and at this moment Yun Ye felt like a fool.
He took out a small notebook from his bosom, crossed out the heating item from the notebook with charcoal, and as the head of the victors' party, it was necessary to make a plan, and called the auxiliaries to ask them to put these stoves in everyone's snow room according to the appearance of their tents, and he was only worried about whether the snow room would melt under the baking of these big guys. Buddha blessed, as long as they last three days, look at the gray sky, Yun Ye's heart is a little more steady.
Since the cook learned to steam steamed buns, Yun Ye didn't allow the soldiers to call it what kind of cake, in his heart, only those things that are round and baked with fire are called cakes, this thing is called steamed bread, and the stuffed ones are called buns, just for the name, Yun Ye has already beaten seven or eight people's boards.
In the end, the cattle and sheep left behind were all slaughtered, all of them were hung on the shelves on the open ground, which can be called the "meat forest", as for the "wine pool" is really shabby, Zhang Gongjin only has less than a hundred jars of spirits, Yun Ye had to endure the pain and take out the spirits that he had steamed many times, and planned to use it as a strong liquor for alcohol, mixed with water, to drink as wine, in order not to have a problem, he drank half a catty himself, and found that the wine tasted good, a little strong, except for a headache the next day, there was no other harm, so he added water to it and gave it to Zhang Gongjin to drink......
When he got up in the morning and rinsed his mouth, Yun Ye found that his gums were bleeding, this was a lack of vitamins, and now, there was no good way, except for tea, he didn't have any edible plants.
Outside the camp today, Zhang Gongjin covered his head and struggled to stand straighter, the bottle of wine sent by Yun Ye last night tasted really good, but the headache of the next day made him unforgettable, the brain seemed to be separated from the brain case, shaking his head, it hurt badly, and he didn't know what kind of good wine it was.
In the distance, a low horn sounded, on the snow plateau, more and more people gradually appeared, they no longer had a formation, many people crouched on horseback and crumbled, Li Jing's handsome flag, also listlessly drooping, there was a trace of the demeanor of a victor. …,
The number of sergeants who came back was less than 6,000, that is to say, more than 4,000 of them could never come back, and the people who greeted them in the camp were silent, and I don't know who vigorously struck their breastplate with their fists, making a "Woo Woo" sound, which was contagious, and gradually the empty grassland sounded a neat "Woo Woo" sound.
Every time a sergeant's footsteps cross the camp gate, someone will immediately help them to the warm snow room, remove the iron armor, and then take off their clothes, but the process is not smooth, some people's foot socks and the skin on the feet are firmly glued together, and they can only be removed one by one by soaking them in warm water.
When the sergeants were stuffed into warm blankets, almost all of them let out a long sigh of relief and immediately fell asleep.
Li Jing rolled off the horse with difficulty, Zhang Gongjin hugged him tightly without waiting for him to speak, and knocked Li Jing's back, Li Jing just laughed twice and lay in Zhang Gongjin's arms without making a sound, it seemed that these two chuckles exhausted all his body.
A stout young general walked over to him and said to Zhang Gongjin, "The chief manager hasn't closed his eyes for six days. This is Su Dingfang, his face is coated with butter, and he can't see his complexion, only two red eyes.
A climbing plough drove into the camp in a very arrogant manner, and a middle-aged man covered in filth struggled to leak his head out of the fur. said to Yun Ye: "Yun Hou, pull me, I can't get up." Yun Ye fixed his eyes and recognized the person from his face for a long time, Tang Jian, this guy really survived from thousands of troops as recorded in history.
Together with Lao Zhuang, he helped Tang Jian get up from the plow, and heard Tang Jian say: "Yunhou sent me to your tent, I need to sleep well." Then he leaned on Lao Zhuang and fell asleep.
A person's IQ determines the height of a person's development, and when Tang Jian is about to collapse, he can still clearly find the most comfortable room in the entire barracks, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
On that day, there was thunderous snoring throughout the barracks......
