Chapter 179: Expedition to Saibei

Saibei, Gubeikou......

It's March, and it's supposed to be spring, but even if it's in the north, it shouldn't be like this.

The snowflakes of Yanshan are as big as a seat

This is what the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty told people, and what is presented in front of him now makes all the soldiers convinced of this verse. Although the snowflakes flying in the sky are not as big as the mats, they are like goose feathers that cover people's eyes, and when you look at it, it seems that everything in the sky and the earth has disappeared in this white expanse.

"How can you fight in such weather?"

"That's right, if you say you want to fight, I'm afraid you can't even walk, let alone march......"

"Let's talk to His Royal Highness King Yan and wait for the snow to stop before leaving......"

The complaints gradually spread from the barracks, at first there were sporadic discussions, and then they converged into the mainstream, spread to all parts of the camp, and of course also reached the ears of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who was the commander of the army......

At this time, with the death of the Northern Yuan Emperor Tugusi Timur, the former Yuan had nominally perished, but the remnants of the Northern Yuan were still doing local resistance and harassment. And the relative strength is relatively strong, and it is the team led by Naer Buhua and Yaozhu.

probably knew that with their current strength, they would naturally not be able to confront the powerful Ming army face to face, so these remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were just blindly engaging in sneak attack tactics, and suddenly appeared to attack and harass, and then quickly evacuated, coming and going like a gust of wind, making it impossible to prevent it, making the border pass area annoying. Because of this, the Ming Emperor personally issued an edict and ordered Zhu Di, the king of Yan stationed in Beiping, and Zhu, the king of Jin in Taiyuan, to lead their headquarters to quell the rebellion.

And when the year of establishment is approaching, he will finally be the manager

When he received the edict, Zhu Di's mood was full of emotion and gratitude, all of which was as Master Daoyan expected, and because of this, he had done enough to collect and probe all kinds of military information before, so as not to be caught off guard when the mission came.

The chatter outside the tent kept coming.

"These soft bones are still not soldiers, and the snow scares him like this."

Wu Pingwen, who was sitting on the side and wiping the sword body, said irritably.

Zhu Di looked up at him from the map and said with a smile,

"As a soldier in the army, but he can't endure hardships so much, it really makes the martial artists laugh."

Wu Pingwen is the sixth of the "Seven Masters of Huashan", and since he met and became acquainted with King Yan by chance, he began to follow him.

Hearing Zhu Di say this at this time, Wu Pingwen suddenly realized that he was criticizing King Yan's subordinates, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, but he still insisted,

"Were they the same as they were before? But now it's the fourth master who is in charge of the whole army, and this habit of returning when you see a hard thing has to be changed. ”

"That's right."

Zhu Di sighed softly.

Although it was very light, it was enough to make the two people who followed him in the tent focus their eyes on him with concern at the same time.

Zheng He, who was turning the fire in the brazier to the brizier, said softly,

"Fourth Master, let's rest for a while."

"No, this kind of weather, this kind of military spirit, how can I rest in peace? Let's go, go out with me. ”

Zhu Di stood up, tightened the belt of the robe, and tidied up the robe, Zheng He immediately took the leather cloak from the side and put it on his body, and tied the belt for him and arranged the fluffy fox fur collar.

Standing motionless and letting the other party do this for himself, Zhu Di couldn't help but feel a little emotional

Yes, time flies really fast, I remember that when Sanbao first came to the palace, he was just a thin and pale child, and now he has grown into a handsome young man who is about the same height as himself, and he is always by his side to bear his own responsibilities.

"Let's go."

It wasn't until he was tightly wrapped by him that Zhu Di smiled slightly.

Seeing that the two of them were about to go out, Wu Pingwen also got up and put his sword under his side, and came to their side in an instant. When Zheng He saw it, he couldn't laugh or cry,

"Sixth Master Wu, do you want to go with you too?"

"yes, what, can't you?"

Regarding his questioning, Wu Pingwen suddenly showed a puzzled face.

Zheng He smiled and waved his hand,

"It's not that no, it's just that you're wearing too little here, so you have to add a thicker dress, don't you?"

"Sanbao is right,"

Hearing him say this, Zhu Di also turned his head and looked Wu Pingwen up and down, nodded and echoed.

In fact, what Zheng He said makes sense, in a weather like this when the snow is overwhelming, Wu Pingwen is still wearing his iconic scribe's green shirt that changes all seasons, which makes people feel cold and panicked.

Wu Pingwen looked at himself and said nonchalantly,

"It's okay, I don't feel cold at all, but Xiao Zheng and you, and I'm embarrassed to say that you're not much more dressed than me."

"Ahh

This time, Zhu Di turned his gaze to Zheng He's body again, looked at the padded robe he was wearing, and nodded again,

"Why are you wrapping me so tightly when you two are so thinly dressed?"

"That's if we're really not cold,"

Zheng He said with a smile,

"Fourth master, let's go."

Since the two of them said that it was not cold, it may be that it was really not cold, Zhu Di was not a person who liked to drill the horns of the bull, and felt that there was no need to insist any longer, so he took the two out of the bed. But Wu Pingwen was a little puzzled, he was not cold because of his deep internal strength, and what was the matter with Xiao Zheng He, could it be that this child's current skills had grown so fast unconsciously?

Out of the tent gate, the eight Praetorian Guards guarding outside the tent saluted in unison.

"His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"Well, you've worked hard."

After saying "hard work", Zhu Di looked up at the snow that was still flying and did not stop at all, and then looked at them again and said,

"The eight of you are divided into two shifts, one shift per hour, and you take turns to rest and rest."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The eight people immediately showed happy expressions and thanked En.

Turning around, Zhu Di and the three of them walked towards the various camps. didn't deliberately bother those soldiers, some found them coming to give a salute, and Zhu Di just gave a few orders and left.

After a big circle, the situation everywhere is basically the same, just two words

Slack.

Looking at the fires and chatting among the soldiers, and some of them even built snowmen and had snowball fights, Zhu Di's face became more and more gloomy.

Walking and walking, this inspection is nearing the end, but at this moment, a camp in front of it gradually comes into view in the wind and snow, which immediately makes people's spirits uplifted and refreshing.

I saw that the tents here were scattered and orderly, the guards in charge of guarding were standing neatly and straight, and those who were not on duty were also resting quietly, and none of them were playing around. 2k reading web
