The weather in October has become colder, and the morning is even more cold, and layers of hoarfrost are spread on the dead grass on the roadside, without a trace of the earlier blue, adding a little pale.

"Drive!"

A coachman drove a horse-drawn carriage against the cold wind on a brick road.

"Drive! Drive! ”

Another sound of horses was heard, and the first carriage passed through the faint white mist, and a long convoy appeared behind it.

The whole convoy was all four-wheeled carriages, four horse-drawn carriages, and seeing the struggling appearance of the four strong horses, it was now evident that the carts were full of goods.

As the morning sun rose, the convoy headed eastward.

Soon a huge city appeared in front of the convoy, and Tongguan was about to arrive.

The convoy passed through Tongguan without inspection at all, and went directly through the customs and advanced.

"How can they get through it?" A young man was queuing up at the bottom of Tongguan to check out the customs, and when he saw the unimpeded entry and exit of this convoy in and out of Tongguan, he was dissatisfied.

"Be quiet, this is the army's escort vehicle, and the car is loaded with military supplies." A middle-aged man next to the young man said that it was his father.

"It's the first time your kid has come out!" On the side, a merchant in a cyan cotton jacket looked at the father and son in front of him and said with a smile.

"This is my third boy, take him out to see the world this time." The middle-aged man grinned.

"This is an army car? There must be hundreds of trucks, how many supplies must be transported! Why don't you even have a soldier in custody? The young man wondered.

"There are no escort soldiers because they don't need it, and now there are still bandits in Guanzhong. After passing the Tong Pass, soldiers are needed to escort them. The middle-aged father smiled and said.

Sure enough, a group of Tongguan guards rushed out and followed the escort vehicle.

"All of this is sent to Jiangjun?" The young man asked, he knew that Jiang County was now at war, and after the unremitting propaganda of Daxing City, Li Yuan's collusion with the Turks was already known to women and children.

"It may be Jiangxian, or it may be Luoyang." The merchant in a blue cotton jacket said that he often came and went to this brick road and had seen military escort vehicles many times.

Now Jiangjun and Luoyang are at war, and after the continuous flow of materials in Daxing City out of Tongguan, it is generally divided into two directions. Either Luoyang. Either head to Jianggun.

Daxingcheng supported two wars at once, but fortunately, Guanzhong has a deep heritage, otherwise it would really be unbearable.

The father and son and the cyan cotton jacket business traveler quickly passed the pass and found that the vehicle in front of them had turned. Head north along the brick road.

"It seems that this time it was sent to Jiangjun!" The young man said.

There are soldiers ahead to clear the way. The entire convoy was extremely fast. At 10 o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at Hedong City.

After a short stop in Hedong City, he immediately continued northward and stationed in the northernmost county seat of Hedong County before sunset. Tomorrow await the order to transport to the front line of Jiangcheng.

At noon on the second day, the escort convoy smoothly entered Jiangxian County. A large number of soldiers from Jiangcheng came out to escort them, and the convoy entered Jiangcheng safely.

It took three days to get out of Daxing City and send it to Jiangcheng, a speed that was unimaginable before, but now it is easy to achieve under the operation of brick roads and four-wheeled carriages.

The spacious and straight brick road has become the most important road in Daxing City, and it was once thought that it was a waste of manpower and material resources, but now the brick road really plays an amazing role at this moment.

Jiangjun Taishou Mansion

Since Qu Tutong retreated to Jiangxian, he took over the affairs of the entire Jiangxian County strongly, Jiangjun Taishou was very knowledgeable, and Qu Tutong, who knew that he had suffered a defeat, was in a bad mood, so he automatically gave up his mansion and moved to another courtyard.

Today's Taishou Mansion has become Qu Tutong's mansion, which is heavily guarded and full of soldiers.

In the flower hall of the Taishou Mansion, Qu Tutong held the secret order in his hand and sat on the main seat to ponder.

"General! What is the will of His Royal Highness? Sang Xianhe asked.

"His Royal Highness the Acting King has given another order to defend!" Qu Tutong said in a deep voice.

"Defense?" Jiang County Tongshou Chen Shuda exclaimed.

However, Chen Shuda has the youngest official position, and although he has doubts, he doesn't dare to ask more, while Sang Xianhe doesn't have so many concerns.

"Why do you want to defend, now our army has clearly taken the advantage." Sang Xianhe said aggrievedly.

Sang Xianhe is a general, and he has long wanted to attack.

"The reason is the military supplies sent today?" Qu Tutong said expressionlessly.

"Today's military quartermaster also specifically asked us to pick up the convoy." Sang Xian and his heart moved.

Qu Tutong nodded.

"Pick it up!" Flexion channel.

Two soldiers came in with a few cotton armor and cotton clothes and placed them on the table in the flower hall.

"What is this?" Sang Xianhe stepped forward to look at such a strange cotton coat, the clothes with the placket had never appeared in this era, this cotton coat looked a little strange, and anyone would be very surprised when they saw it for the first time.

"This is the uniform of the military this winter, which was formulated by the Ministry of Industry." Qu Tutong touched the thick military coat and said.

"Uniforms?" Chen Shuda and Sang Xianhe stepped forward suspiciously and picked up the military coat.

Sang Xianhe lifted his military coat and put his hand on his body.

"Yes, it's warm!" Sang Xian and praised.

Qu Tutong and Chen Shuda also picked up their military coats and put them on.

"It's a little weird, but it's really warm." Chen Shuda praised.

"In addition to cotton coats, there is also a new type of armor, cotton armor." Qu Tutong pointed to the cotton armor below and said.

The two tried it one by one, and it felt weird, but overall it was okay.

Sang Xianhe was puzzled: "But what does this have to do with the defensive orders of His Royal Highness the Acting King." ”

Chen Shuda had an idea and said: "These are all warm things, aren't they ......?"

Qu Tutong nodded: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Acting King's intention is to defend until it snows, and then fight Li Yuan after the cold winter comes." ”

"Winter Showdown!" Sang Xian and Daxi, "Our army has this sharp weapon, and it will definitely be able to break Li Yuan." ”

"Congratulations to the general, our army can expect a big victory!" Chen Shuda said loudly.

"This battle will be won!"

Sang Xianhe was also full of confidence, and at the same time admired His Royal Highness the Acting King, and sighed secretly in his heart, I don't know how His Royal Highness the Acting King's little head grows, and he can come up with such a wonderful attention.

Qu Tutong stroked the cotton clothes in his hand, the cotton clothes exuded a trace of warmth, but they couldn't melt the coldness in Qu Tutong's heart, the battle of Huoyi was the shame of his life, and now the hope of victory was in front of him, he didn't care about waiting a few more days.

"Pass the order, send down all the military coats and cotton armor, so that the soldiers can familiarize themselves with it first." Qu Tutong commanded.

"Yes!" Chen Shuda responded.

"From today onwards, there will be twice as many soldiers on the vigil, and I believe that with these things for warmth, the vigil will no longer be a problem." Flexion channel.

"Yes." Sang Xian and Ying Dao.

The two were ordered to leave.

Qu Tutong walked out of the flower hall and felt the cold wind outside.

"It's not cold enough!" Qu Tu said in his heart.

He needed the cold. There is ice and snow everywhere, but such a day is not far off. (To be continued......)
