The wind blows the snow and cold, freezing thousands of miles of Liao River water. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The time chronology used in ancient China is a unique lunar calendar in ancient China, which belongs to a lunisolar calendar, which is deduced from the basis of the heavenly and terrestrial branches, with a cycle of 60 years, with 24 solar terms, to inform the world of the changes of the seasons.

In other words, the middle of October in ancient China, converted into the Gregorian calendar month used by the modern plane, has already entered November, and may even be almost December.

During this month, winter has arrived.

In the middle of October in the Ming plane, Liaodong had already entered the extremely cold weather where dripping water turned into ice, and if people were exposed to the outdoors for a long time and did not carry out any activities, in this environment, the body would definitely be frozen and unconscious.

Looking down from the sky, under the action of low temperature in winter, the water surface of the Liaohe River is frozen as smooth as a glass mirror, and the frozen layer of more than 20 centimeters, like a natural flat road, is enough to support any livestock, chariots and horses to walk on it, as if walking on the ground.

At this time, there is a team stretching for miles on the ice of the Liao River, withstanding the cold of winter, slowly moving along the water of the Liao River.

This team is none other than the victorious division led by Li Mu, since leaving Shenyang City, he has led this team to march on the ice of the Liao River, and set foot on the way home towards the Ming Dynasty.

The frozen water of the Liao River is very suitable for walking, and there is no need to worry about the ice breaking phenomenon or the wrong direction.

As long as you keep walking down the ice surface of the Liao River, you can reach the Ming Frontier in front.

The only drawback is that such a large team, with countless livestock, property, and more than 20,000 obedient Jurchen women, only 20,000 Guanning iron horsemen are maintaining order, and the march is a little slow.

....

"My lord, Jinzhou City has arrived."

Along the way, Man Gui didn't have time to rest, and kept riding a war horse to gallop in front and behind the team, taking care of the entire team, and when he saw Jinzhou City appearing in front of him, he hurriedly hit the horse and came to Li Mu's car to report.

In the carriage, Li Mu was sleeping in the arms of Zhezhe and Da Yu'er, enjoying the warm fragrance and warm jade on both sides, the silver frost charcoal in the stove burned red, the high-grade charcoal in this white charcoal, burned without smoke, and made the surrounding air warm like spring, and did not feel a trace of cold outside.

In addition, the outside of the carriage of the four-wheeled carriage is wrapped with airtight high-quality fur, which locks the hot air inside from being volatilized, and also effectively blocks the cold air from the outside.

Half of the carriage is covered with brocade quilts and thick fur, so that people don't feel any cold, and they don't have to wrap their bodies thickly.

Zhezhe, who wrapped Li Mu with his half-fruit body, heard Mangui's report outside the car, bowed his head and whispered: "Master, General Mangui said that Jinzhou has arrived." ”

"Hmm." Li Mu moved, put one hand on Zhezhe's plumpness, and stayed for a while before opening his eyes and saying, "Got it." ”

Zhezhe, who was caught and plump, did not have the slightest idea of wanting to dodge, so he was caught by Li Mu.

After enjoying it for a while, Li Mu sat up, glanced at Da Yu'er, who was still asleep, and said to Zhezhe: "You two stay inside, go out and have a look." ”

After speaking, Li Mu stood up and prepared to lift the curtain and walk out of the carriage.

"Wait a minute, it's windy outside." Zhezhe hurriedly picked up a cloak beside him and draped it on Li Mu's body, moving gently, like a gentle and obedient maidservant.

Li Mu put his hand on the cloak, then pinched Zhezhe's face, and said, "Good." ”

....

Putting on a cloak and lifting the curtain of the carriage, Li Mu leaned out and approached Jinzhou City, and the entire team stopped and waited for the next instructions.

Man Gui had been waiting beside the car, never left, and when he saw Li Mu getting off the carriage, he took two steps to help the car and said, "My lord, let's go to Jinzhou City." ”

"Man Gui, did Jinzhou City send someone to inquire?" After getting off the carriage, Li Mu glanced at Jinzhou City not far away, and the imprint left by the Battle of Ningjin was still clearly visible, showing the vicissitudes and loneliness of this city after the war.

Huang Taiji was unable to attack Jinzhou City for a long time, resulting in heavy losses in the Jurchen Eight Banners, and had to choose to withdraw his troops back to Shenyang to end this invasion of the Ming frontier, so that there was a great victory since the battle between the Ming and Jurchen.

"My lord, not yet, I'm afraid that Jinzhou City is still carrying out the strict defense order issued by Lord Sun when the adult left, and I don't dare to leave the city with a single soldier." After speaking, Man Gui continued: "My lord, why don't Man Gui send someone to inform you and say that we are going to go into the city to rest?" ”

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Jinzhou City is also an important town in the eastern frontier of the Ming Dynasty, so there is no need for us to trouble them." ”

Stopped Man Gui's idea of sending people to Jinzhou City, pointed to the team around him that couldn't see the edge, and said: "There are not many supplies in this Jinzhou City, so many of us entering the city will not add a burden to Jinzhou City." ”

"It's up to the adults to decide." Man Gui nodded.

Li Mu continued: "It's not that we don't have food, so let's take a break on the ice of this Liao River for the time being, and wait to see if there is anyone in Shanhaiguan to greet us." ”

While he was talking, a Guan Ning iron horse in front of the team came running, stopped in front of the two of them, and reported: "Lord Qiqi, Lord Li, there are a large number of chariots and horses approaching in front. ”

Hearing that a large number of chariots and horses were approaching, Li Mu smiled at Man Gui and said: "Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is really here, it must be Lord Sun who received the letterhead from this seat, summoned a chariot and horse foot pawn at Shanhaiguan, and sent the customs to meet us." ”

In this month, there can be no caravan out of Shanhaiguan, the weather is too cold, not suitable for any border trade, not to mention the Ming army, he took the wolf cavalry guard, Guanning iron cavalry out of the customs, Liaodong border defense began to implement the policy of strict defense to guard against the surprise attack of the Jurchens.

Besides, the Ming army in the late Ming Dynasty was not good at field warfare at all, so how could it have the courage to haunt outside the pass at will.

"Well, the last general also thinks so, but I don't know which Liaodong colleague is leading the team." Man Gui nodded, looking very curious about the team leader, he still missed those colleagues in Liaodong for so long in Shenyang City.

Li Mu also wanted to know, so he asked the Guanning Tieqi who came to report, "Which Liaodong official is leading the team?" ”

"Lord Hui, it is Lord Sun of Liaodong who personally leads the team." Guan Ning Tieqi replied.

"Lord Sun is here in person?"

Li Mu and Man Gui were very surprised, neither of them expected that it would be Sun Chengzong, the Liaodong frontier defense strategy, who would personally lead the team.
