What is decided, Ao Lie will never drag the mud and water.

The next day, half of the military horses in the territory of Youhe were mobilized, and according to the plan, Lü Bu led the 30,000 troops under his command to the junction of Youhe in the northwest direction to resist the invasion of Xianbei in the central part of Helian; Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Xu Shu also led 30,000 soldiers to the north, and set up defenses at Lulongsai, the junction of Beiping and Liaoxi, to prevent the Xianbei attack in the east of Kebineng; Cui Yan and Gao Shun mobilized local military horses to deter Xianbei Budugen in the west in the area of Yanmen and Yunzhong.

Zhang Liao and Zhang He led 10,000 troops to be stationed in Zhuo County, and Xu Huang and Tai Shici led another 10,000 troops to be stationed in Dai County. Although Yuan Shao passed by the burning of the Yecheng granary, his vitality has not fully recovered, but he has to prevent stabbing a knife from the back, but Yuan Shao loves to do it the most. Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and other people, together with the local county soldiers, were enough to block Yuan Shao for two months.

Huang Zhong was temporarily appointed as the chief general of the Chinese army, and cooperated with Xun Yu, Jia Xu and other civil and military officials to guard Yanjing and Youzhou counties. Huang Zhong was an old man and took care of himself, and handed over the base camp to him to guard, and Ao Lie was very relieved. Gan Ning, the governor of the navy, and Su Fei, the deputy governor of the navy, led the navy to entrench themselves on the sea adjacent to western and eastern Liaoning, and were not only responsible for inspecting the sea area and deterring pirates, but also responsible for defending the enemy who might cross the sea from the sea.

Ao Lie himself took Zhuge Liang, Zhang Xiu, Wei Yan, Pang De, Xu Chu and Dian Wei to command 10,000 troops and marched to Goguryeo in the northeast. Goguryeo, in later generations, is often mistaken for the Goryeo Kingdom, the predecessor of the Samhan nation. But in fact, this is not the case at all. Goguryeo, in the Han Dynasty, was just a small regime established by foreign races in the northeast, and its territory was in the territory of present-day Jilin and Liaoning. It was a vassal state of the Great Han. Historically, Goryeo was established nearly 300 years after the fall of Goguryeo, and the territory of Goguryeo was on the Korean Peninsula, which did not correspond to 95% of Goguryeo's territory. Therefore, Goguryeo and Goryeo are two completely different countries, and they are also two completely different peoples, whether it is territory, cultural heritage, or even the most basic national language, they are incompatible. It's just that the names are closer.

Coming all the way, Ao Lie has always been discussing strategy with Zhuge Liang, because of the urgency of time, Ao Lie must solve Goguryeo and Buyeo as soon as possible, and then lead troops to the west, and Zhao Yun's troops into a horn situation, besiege Kebineng. The time was only two months, except for the time necessary to march back and forth, leaving time for Ao Lie. Not much, really. This very tight time for the battle is determined by the specific situation of Youzhou's finances. Several armies marched at the same time, and the required food, grass, and military salaries were an astronomical expenditure, and they were in the north of Youzhou. The climate is already cold, but now it's winter, and a heavy snowfall has just arrived, making the weather even colder. The cotton clothes and quilts needed by the sergeants to keep them warm all cost a lot of money to make. This is also the reason why Tian Feng forcibly proposed that the combat period could only be shortened to two months.

"My lord, the Goguryeo people have always revered the gods. Our army can make a fuss about this, make them feel awe, and strive to disarm the country in a short period of time, and surrender the army without a fight. Zhuge Liang pointed out Goguryeo's weakness for a while.

Ao Lieha let out a breath of hot air, and the hot air was quickly frozen into mist at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then dissipated into the air. With a wry smile, Ao Lie said: "You see, the weather is cold like this, which will definitely bring great difficulties to our army's battle. Therefore, I agree with Kong Ming's idea that we can only outwit this battle. But Kong Ming, we are not gods, how can we make those Goguryeo people be in awe? ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "There are no gods in the world, haven't they been imagined by people." We can follow the idea of the Goguryeo people's fantasy, create some events that they think are miracles, and then use the front of the army to deter them, and use both pronged actions. ”

Pretending to be a ghost? Ao Lie couldn't help but feel a burst of amusement in his heart. In later generations, there are often some liars who rely on pretending to be gods and ghosts to fool people and defraud others of their money, but I didn't expect Zhuge Liang, a freak, to be so advanced and apply the methods of later liars to the war in front of them. However, this is nothing unusual, in the deduction, Zhuge Liang has used the ignorance of the opponent's sergeant more than once, to make some incredible things, and in cooperation with advanced technology, he has received unexpected miraculous results. For example, in the romance, Zhuge Liang once asked his subordinate sergeants to disguise themselves as Liuding Liujia Heavenly Soldiers to confuse the enemy, and then sent another team of sergeants to use the wooden oxen and flowing horses he developed to rob the nearby grain. At present, Zhuge Liang does not have the ability to make wooden oxen and flowing horses for the time being because of the accumulation of experience and experience, but he has come up with some ways to pretend to be a god and a ghost, and Ao Lie believes that this will not be difficult for him.

Looking at Zhuge Liang with interest, Ao Lie smiled and said, "Then do you have any specific plans?" Speak up and listen. Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and said, "For the time being, there is just a general direction." Now that our army is still a few days away from Goguryeo, presumably at this moment, Goguryeo's spies have already spied on the news, and they must be actively preparing for battle. During this time, it was a good time for our army to break their fighting spirit. Our army can make miracles along the way and shake their morale, and maybe, by the time our army arrives in Goguryeo, they have lost their fighting spirit, and even opened the city and surrendered. ”

Zhuge Liang's words deeply touched Ao Lie's nerves. This plan is the most time-saving and the most effective way to ensure that the combat effectiveness is not lost, and if it is really successful, it will greatly shorten the time that Ao Lie's troops need to spend on marching. Now, what Ao Lie lacks most is time. Ao Lie is very much looking forward to Zhuge Liang coming up with a practical and concrete plan as soon as possible.

That night, Ao Lie's troops came to a large mountain, set up camp at the foot of the mountain, and prepared to rest for the night before continuing the march.

The night was dark, but the candles in Ao Lie's tent were still lit. Dian Wei carefully held a bowl of mutton soup, walked into the big tent, and saw Ao Lie reading under the candlelight, Dian Wei Weng said angrily: "Lord, take a rest." As he spoke, he stretched out his two thick arms, handed the mutton soup in his hand to Ao Lie's table, and said with a smile: "I saw that the lord had not slept yet, so I asked the man to make a bowl of mutton soup." Unfortunately, it was too cold outside, and the broth was a little frozen. ”

Ao Lie smiled, put down the book in his hand, didn't care about the frozen oiliness, and opened his mouth to take a sip of mutton soup. The white greasy soup was poured into Ao Lie's mouth at the same time along with the slightly hot broth below, chewed twice, Ao Lie frowned and said, "The mutton soup that has been frozen is really hard to eat." ”

Dian Wei heard this. Stretched out his big hand and scratched the back of his head, and said complainingly: "Isn't it, it's all to blame for the damn ghost weather, and the soil is frozen." I saw that the men had to work hard to dig up the dirt from the ground and set up a stove. ”

Ao Lie, who was drinking mutton soup, suddenly stopped the movements in his hand, and a spiritual light flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly asked Dian Wei: "Old Hei." What did you just say? Dian Wei was stunned by the question, and replied: "I said that the weather is cold and damn it." ”

"It's not this one, it's the latter one."

"Ah, I'm saying it took a lot of effort for the guys to set up the stove."

"Oops. The sentence in the middle! Ao Lie shouted anxiously.

Dian Wei couldn't keep up with Ao Lie's train of thought at all, and thought for a while with a bitter face, for fear that he was saying the wrong thing, and said tentatively: "The soil is frozen. Is that it? ”

Ao Lie muttered and repeated, "Dirt...... are all frozen...... Earth...... Frozen ......"

Suddenly, Ao Lie jumped up and slapped Dian Wei's shoulder hard. smiled happily: "Old black! You're a great deal, Ha Luha, there's a way to make miracles. ”

A moment later, Zhuge Liang walked into Ao Lie's big tent wearing a thick cotton coat. No matter when or under what conditions, Zhuge Liang's calm and calm demeanor will not be affected. Not in cold weather, nor in heavy cotton clothing.

Calmly bowed to Ao Lie, Zhuge Liang was just about to ask, Ao Lie strode over, grabbed Zhuge Liang's hand, and said with a smile: "Kong Ming, I have thought of a way to make miracles." You quickly arrange the manpower and do what you say......"

The next morning, a simple but imposing snow-white castle stood out of thin air in the cold north wind. Except for the sergeant who had been involved in the incident last night, the other sergeants rubbed their eyes vigorously, saying that they did not believe that what was in front of them was real. It wasn't until a few sergeants walked up to the castle wall and struck it twice with their weapons, getting a sonorous echo, that he was convinced that the two-foot-high castle in front of him was real.

It turned out that Ao Lie, who was inspired by Dian Wei last night, remembered that in history, when Cao Cao went to Xiliang to crusade against Ma Chao, he had used the unique sand and climate of Xiliang with the help of local hermits to build a city wall mixed with ice water and sand overnight, which made the Xiliang army shocked and thought that the gods were secretly helping Cao Cao, which caused the Xiliang army to be disheartened and finally defeated by Cao Cao. Since Cao Cao can take advantage of the climate of the western coolness, why can't Ao Lie take advantage of the climate of the northern Xinjiang? Not to mention that Ao Lie has more cultural heritage than Cao Cao for thousands of years in later generations.

So, Ao Lie called Zhuge Liang, and according to the method of building igloos in the Arctic by the Inuit in later generations, after improvement, he explained it to Zhuge Liang in detail. After Zhuge Liang mastered this method, he immediately organized people to repair the ice city overnight. First, a surrounding trench was dug around the barracks, and then water was poured into it, and when the water was frozen and solid, it continued to be filled until the trench was filled.

After the foundation was built, another team of sergeants brought a large number of cloth bags filled with a mixture of earth and ice and snow, and then stacked the wet cloth bags on top of each other, and after a while, when the mixture seeping from the cloth bags froze solidly, they raised a layer of soil on the cloth bags, and then poured some cold water to let the surface soil wrap the cloth bags inside. Then, every once in a while, splash some water on it, so that the cold climate will condense the water splashed on it into ice, forming a layer of silver-white appearance.

In this way, after building a layer, Zhuge Liang asked the soldiers to continue to build a higher layer, so, overnight, around the barracks, there were four tall ice walls, forming a dazzling castle, enclosing the Ao Lie army inside, at the entrance and exit of the front, Zhuge Liang also had ingenuity, built a city gate as high as four zhang and three zhang wide. At the junction of the city gate, Zhuge Liang used several thick wooden sticks as supports, which were horizontally erected on the city walls on both sides, bearing the weight of the lintel. This city gate, which can be described as the finishing touch of the entire ice city, was carved into the shape of a tiger entrenched by Zhuge Liang, opening its huge mouth and eyeing the north.

With the rising sun in winter, the entire ice city reflects the halo of the rising sun, exuding amazing colorful colors, which is magnificent and spectacular. (To be continued......)
