In the procession along the river, the bandits were all holding their spears and bowing their heads, only in this way would the cold wind like a bone-scraping steel knife not blow on their faces.

I don't know when, there were snowflakes floating in the sky, the size of goose feathers!

Qin Feng, who was on horseback at the front of the team, looked up at the snowflakes flying in the sky, and his mood was not good at all.

Marching troops in such weather is very unfavorable to the team, and one is not good, and the loss of non-combat attrition will not be affordable for him.

It is already a team with no cohesion, and with nearly 3,000 people mixed in with 300 people, this kind of absurdity is already jaw-dropping without changing the leadership of the entire team.

The arrival of the cold and cruel weather, in the danger of being surrounded and suppressed, is driving this team to the brink of destruction step by step.

It is precisely because of this that these bandits and the defeated soldiers who were collected in the middle did not flee without permission, because everyone knew that in such a harsh environment, anyone who left the team alone would die in the flight of hunger and cold.

Qin Feng thought about it, he didn't know how long this snow would fall, if he didn't find a camp in time to camp, it was likely that more than 3,000 people in the whole army would freeze to death on the way to this snowstorm.

He took out the map he had obtained when he was ambushing Ling's soldiers and horses, and looked at it, and the map was very detailed, with mountains, rivers, ditches, roads, and cities all clearly marked.

Along the Wanshui road to the north, there is a small hill bag about ten miles ahead - Xiaoluo Mountain.

It seems that you can only camp at the foot of this Xiaoluo Mountain.

Qin Feng sent people to ride fast horses to inform the army led by the front army that the army was to camp at the foot of the southern mountain of Xiaoluo Mountain, and asked Jun Song to take the team there to cut down trees and set up camp, and inform the front sentry cavalry to explore the terrain and enemy situation within a radius of ten miles.

At the same time, he sent someone to inform Huang Yi of the rear army, so that he could lead his troops to speed up and catch up with the main force.

In the procession, two middle-aged scribes supported each other, faltering, exhausted and embarrassed by two consecutive days of marching.

The surrounding soldiers were also muttering and scolding, some scolded the damn ghost weather, and some scolded Qin Feng who led the team, the weather was so cold and they were in a hurry, they didn't treat them as human beings.

At this time, a cavalryman galloped past the ranks, and shouted as he galloped on horseback: "The commander has an order, the whole army should speed up the march and camp at the foot of Xiaoluo Mountain ten miles ahead to rest, and the last ten people will not be fed!" ”

As soon as this military order came, it immediately attracted a shouting and scolding, and the team was in an uproar.

"!"

"Qin Wuyi is not a son of man!"

But no one had any choice but to hurry up, and no one wanted to be one of the last ten people left behind, and in this kind of ghost weather, if they did not eat in time and rest in a reliable haven, they would probably die of hunger and cold.

The middle-aged scribe on the left, who was supporting each other, panted and said: "Brother Xiangxian, it's not done, I can't walk anymore, you go first, don't worry about me!" ”

The middle-aged scribe on the right hurriedly supported the middle-aged scribe on the left, "Yang Gong can't give up, under this snowy world, once you stop, you can't get up again, insist on one or two can always catch up with the team, even if you unfortunately become one of the ten people behind, when you get to the camp, we will go to Qin Wuyi to identify ourselves, presumably there will be no shortage of food!" ”

The middle-aged scribe on the left side looked discouraged, and sighed: "I miss Yang Hong, I think I don't lose to others in strategy, but now I have been reduced to being in the company of bandits, but I can't earn a bite to eat, how miserable!" Yan Xiang, let's go, I don't want to go! ”

The snow was still flying, Yan Xiang was a little anxious, and scolded angrily: "Yang Hong, the ants are still stealing their lives, what is the situation?" Now you look like this, but you are not even as good as ants! It's also you and I who pretend to be high, if you lower your posture a little, why bother with these down-and-out soldiers? Let's go, follow a certain to catch up with Qin Wuyi, with your wisdom and past fame, Qin Wuyi will definitely treat me like a guest! ”

Yang Hong asked: "Yuan Highway is still buried in the Bone Jiang Pavilion, how can this Qin Wuyi be compared to it?" ”

Yan Xiang wanted to scold Yuan Shu, but when he thought that Yuan Shu had been dead for more than half a year, even if Yuan Shu was no longer angry, he had served Yuan Shu for many years, and now it was no longer necessary to scold the former lord.

He angrily reprimanded Yang Hong: "Can it be compared, only if you have seen it, you can see it!" Now, when your life is still in danger, do you still think about the future? And save your life and say anything else! ”

After speaking, he pulled Yang Hong and left, and asked for a spear from a soldier next to him as a crutch for support.

After walking for a while, Yang Hong and Yan Xiang walked slower and slower, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers around them, not only Yang Hong really couldn't walk, but Yan Xiang's physical strength would also be exhausted, and he would definitely be left behind by the team of people and horses if he went on like this.

Seeing that the team was gone, and there were only a few disabled people left around them, Yan Xiang and Yang Hong really began to despair.

"Are we going to die of hunger and cold today in this nameless wilderness? Heavens······" Yan Xiang's heart was desolate.

It is really "the ambition dies before it is rewarded, and the hero is full of tears".

At this time, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and there was a burst of rude shouts: "Quick, speed up and catch up with the captain's brigade, and when I get to the camp, I will barbecue meat and eat wine, isn't it happy?" Hahaha! ”

Yang Hong and Yan Xiang heard the sound and looked back to the back, only to see a team of men and horses appear in the wind and snow, with more than a dozen horsemen in front of them, followed by more than a hundred foot soldiers.

"This is······ It should be Qin Wuyi's queen of the palace! Yang Hong said to Yan Xiang, "Seeing that he not only arranged a lookout post to explore the enemy situation on the road in front during the march, but also deployed the front army and the rear army to protect the main force of the Chinese army, it can be seen that this person still knows a little about the method of marching and fighting formations!" ”

Yan Xiang said; "I just said that this Qin Wuyi is not useless, why don't you and I follow him for a while, and observe and observe, if he can't support the wall, I will wait to abandon him, how about it?"

Yang Hong was desolate in his heart, and thought in his heart, thinking that I, Yang Hong, was also a wise man who once assisted the great princes of one party, but now I have to beg for food under the tent of a mountain bandit leader, it is really more and more miserable!

But now I am hungry and cold, in order to survive······

"Well, we'll give him a chance!"

When more than 100 people and horses behind the palace ran over, Yan Xiang hurriedly got up and raised his hands and shouted: "The general stays!" ”

"Law-" Huang Yi hurriedly stopped his horse, raised his spear and pointed at Yan Xiang and shouted: "Who is under your feet, why are you blocking my way?" ”

Yan Xiang hurriedly said: "The general is angry, we are Yan Xiang and Yang Hong, the strategists under the Yuan Highway account in the past, I want to see General Qin, and ask the general to take us for a ride, when we meet General Qin, there will be a good reward!" ”

Yang Hong and Yan Xiang? Huang Yi looked at these two people, he was quite surprised, these two people are very high-status strategists under Yuan Shu, one is Changshi, the other is the main Bo, a few days ago Yuan Yin and others conspired to seize power, because the matter was not confidential and leaked the news by Qin Feng took the lead in a pot, he thought that Yang Hong and Yan Xiang, who were involved at this time, should have been treated as guests by Qin Feng, right? Unexpectedly, he was still in the company of these ordinary soldiers, and now he is still left behind.

He turned around and pointed to the two cavalrymen: "You two dismount and let Yang Gong and Yan Gong ride!" ”

"No!"

"Yang Gong and Yan Gong, please get on the horse and follow us to catch up with the team and meet my captain!" Huang Yi clasped his fists and said to the two.

"Thank you, General!"

After riding on the horse, Yang Hong and Yan Xiang became much more comfortable, wrapping their clothes tightly around their bodies, covering their heads and faces, leaving only their mouths, noses and eyes outside, and soon caught up with the team.

When they arrived at the foot of Xiaoluo Mountain, the men and horses of the former army Juniper had already built a prototype of the camp, and Qin Feng was directing the soldiers to build camp tents, build fences, and reject horses.

After Huang Yi entered the camp, he asked his men to quickly help erup the camp tent, leaving Yang Hong and Yan Xiang to stay where they were and wait, and he went to report to Qin Feng.

"Captain, I'm here!"

Qin Feng looked back and beckoned with a smile: "Yi, how is it behind you, can there be Jiangdong Army detectives and pursuers?" ”

Huang Yi hugged his fists and said: "I feel that there should be a sentry nearby, but I haven't found it, so it must be very well hidden!" ”

Qin Feng pondered for a while, "If it snows heavily today, it is a good opportunity for us to get rid of the Jiangdong Army's tracking, and the heavy snow will definitely cover up our traces, but these Jiangdong Army scouts who are following all the way are a trouble, and we must think of ways to solve them!" I mean······ You have set up an ambush with some men and horses, please enter the urn! ”

"No!" Huang Yi agreed, but hesitated and hugged his fists to report: "Du Wei, I met the two scribes on the way, and asked about the former Yuan Highway under the long Shi Yang Hong and the main Bo Yanxiang, the two of them were hungry and cold, and were left behind by the brigade, if no one rescued them, I was afraid that they would freeze to death in the wilderness, we were stopped by these two people, and said that they wanted to see the Du Wei, I think there is no wise man in the army, if the Du Wei can be assisted by these two people, he must be able to share the worries for the Du Wei, whether to stay or not, it all depends on the Du Wei!" ”

Qin Feng naturally knew that Yang Hong and Yan Xiang were in the team for a long time, he didn't recruit these two to meet and also had his own ideas, he was just a bandit leader, and these two were literati strategists with a high starting point, if he took the initiative to recruit, people might not be able to look down on him, but it was better to polish their arrogance first.

"These two people must be desperate now that they have to commit themselves to me, they may not be able to look up to me in their hearts, and they will dry him first!"

When Qin Feng said this, he remembered a fellow he met when he was sending him outside in his previous life, once this fellow didn't find a job for a long time, he had no money in his hand, and he didn't eat for three days. "Give me food, I'll kill you!"

Although this is a joke and self-deprecation, it also reflects a real situation, some people are so hungry that they can really do anything, and they can give up any dignity, reserve, and face, and survival is important.
