Coal is everywhere around the Taihang Mountains.

The scouts successively discovered coal mines in Wenxian, Chaoge and other places.

Wenxian is Jiaozuo in later generations, and it is also a large coal-producing county, so soldiers do not have to travel far to Shangdang or Daijun to dig.

The briquettes are simple and convenient to make, and they can be burned in the stove and in the soil pit.

Most people want to be convenient, just dig a pit in the ground, put it inside to burn, roast half of the mutton outside, simmer a big pot of broth in the fire, the soldiers gather together in twos and threes, brag about the cowhide, Lala homely, live a faster life, eat and sleep every day, sleep and eat, many people have gained weight.

Bursts of warmth rose throughout the camp.

Even the barns of the horses were burned with briquettes.

All places where coal is burned for heating are forced to be ventilated, and special personnel are strictly inspected to prevent poisoning and fire.

The training of the soldiers was completely cancelled, and if it was not necessary, all of them were left in the barracks for the winter, and the people did not move, lying down every day, and the consumption of food was greatly reduced, and only the necessary scout squads and patrols were dispatched.

And in this kind of weather, it is impossible for the Jin army in Yecheng to launch a counteroffensive.

The only threat was the Xianbei Third Division, which was stationed in Qinghe.

More than 1,000 horses rode south to harass, and suddenly the ghost cried wolf in the middle of the night, shooting a few dark arrows, lighting a few fires and running away, although it did not take advantage, but a fly always flew in the ear, which inevitably made people upset.

Sent cavalry to pursue, but the other party had long since disappeared, and I didn't know which snow nest to get into.

If it is surrounded by a large army, it is thankless.

Their appearance lifted the spirits of the Yecheng defenders.

For a while, Yang Zheng had no choice but to strengthen patrols.

Fortunately, as the weather became colder and colder, the Xianbei people couldn't bear it, and the number of attacks became less and less.

Now it seems that this heavy snow is not a good thing.

Zhonghui was blocked in Xuchang and half dead, Yecheng was completely blocked by the wind and snow, and the people inside couldn't get out.

All that's left is to boil.

Stay up until one side makes a mistake first, stay up until one side is exhausted, and stay up until one side falls apart!

In fact, the Central Plains Annihilation War is almost always like this, and when both sides are not mentally retarded, they can only survive like this.

For now, the Qin army still has a great advantage.

Yang Zheng has more hole cards in his hand, has a stable rear, and the war also takes place in the Central Plains, which has little impact on the Qin State.

The soldiers were able to eat meat, roast on the fire, and some people put on performances to relieve their fatigue.

The mood is naturally stable, he eats, sleeps, sleeps and eats every day, and there are complaints on this kind of day, so Yang Zheng really can't help it.

But new problems arise.

"Your Majesty, there are only more than 10,000 livestock left...... Wei Qian came to report.

Although various measures have been taken, 400,000 mouths are 400,000 bottomless pits.

In just a few days, the livestock have eaten more than half of it.

And this cold winter is just half over, and it's getting colder and colder.

"How many more days?"

"At the current rate, in five days at most, there will be no livestock at all." The logistics of 400,000 people are not easy to manage, and Wei Qian has a lot of wrinkles on his face.

Problems are solved one by one.

The heating is solved, and then the problem of grain and grass is solved.

To be honest, not to the point of last resort, Yang Zheng was reluctant to kill the war horse.

For so many years, half of Qin's belongings are 200,000 Chinese soldiers who can fight well, and the other half are war horses.

It takes a lot of effort and time to nurture them.

Of course, there is still a certain amount of grain and grass in the army, but looking at this cold winter, I don't know how long it will last, and this grain is for life-saving purposes.

The grain and grass in the rear were intermittent, Lu Zhi didn't say anything, but Yang Zheng knew that there must be great pressure, and if there was another heavy snowfall, the logistics might be broken.

In fact, both the Qin and Jin countries were suffering in this cold snow.

It depends on who can't bear it first.

Yang Zheng stared at the sand table, the important towns around Yecheng, Liyang, Xiangguo, Guantao, etc., were heavily defended.

Wen Yang and Meng Yu have not been defeated now, which already shows the solidity of these cities.

In the end, Yang Zheng's eyes fell on Qinghe.

The three Xianbei tribes all came on horseback, tens of thousands of people, there must be a large supply of grain and grass, and their war horses are also one of the food!

In addition, the standoff lasted for months, and morale was inevitably low.

To break the current deadlock, the best way is to severely damage Sima Yan's reinforcements and cut off the foreign aid of the Jin army.

In the past two years, due to the war in the Central Plains, the Xianbei Three Divisions have absorbed a lot of Han people, and their strength has continued to grow, and now they have been sent to the door, it is time for them to taste the knife of Daqin.

It is better to cripple them, and the resistance to the expedition to Liaodong will be greatly reduced in the future.

"I want to attack Qinghe, what about Bo Yu's intentions?"

Wei Qian was stunned for a moment, staring at the sand table, his eyes lit up, "Brilliant plan!" ”

Don't talk nonsense with smart people.

Now that the weather is freezing cold, the Xianbei people must not have thought that the Qin army would dare to attack from afar!

Compared with important towns such as Liyang and Xiangguo, the defense of Qinghe City is relatively lax.

How bold is man, how fruitful is the earth.

Be decisive when it's time to strike.

"But this battle can be sent as a general, Your Majesty's ten thousand gold honor, you don't have to be reckless." Wei Qian persuaded.

Yang Zheng felt that it also made sense.

Now that he is the emperor, an emperor can't hang his head on his belt every day, right?

"Ministers, ministers are willing to go on the expedition!" Liu Heng was so excited that he half-knelt on the ground and almost fell.

Meng Guan's eyes moved, but in the end, he still didn't grab Liu Heng.

If it is a simple murder and arson, Liu Heng is the best candidate, but this battle is related to the overall situation of Yecheng, and Liu Heng is ...... It's hard to be reassured.

In case of making a moth, not to mention not eating the meat of the Xianbei people, it will also damage the military prestige and morale.

On both sides of Qin and Jin, any victory or defeat will have a profound impact on the overall situation.

"Liu Heng led 7,000 elite cavalry as the vanguard, and Meng Guan rode 20,000 steps as the rear to attack Qinghe!" Yang Zheng originally wanted to send Ma Xun forward, but Ma Xun was the front governor, and the responsibility was not small, so he thought about it and came up with a compromise solution.

"The last general commands!" The two were overjoyed.

The soldiers who attacked tried to be mainly Qianghu, who was not afraid of the cold, and most of the war horses were cold-tolerant Mobei horses.

Liu Heng's 7,000 people set off first, of which 3,000 were the daring battalions, the real daring people.

Meng Guan had a large number of troops and set off slowly.

Yang Zheng also wanted to bring more troops, but in the windy and snowy weather, there were too many troops, and the movement was large, so he could not achieve the purpose of the surprise attack.

"If things don't get along, you can go back with all the troops." Yang Zheng advised carefully.

Xianbei people have a certain strength, the main general Murong Tuguhun, and the deputy generals Duan Ri Lujuan and Yuwen go to the disease.

Murong Tugu Hun is the eldest son of Murong She's return to the house, brave and good at fighting, and has some contact with the Qin army in Daijun.

Yuwen is not famous.

However, this Duan Ri Lu Juan is a ruthless man, in the early years, he was the house slave of the Wuhuan nobles and the big treasury humiliated officials, and at a gathering of the rich chiefs of the Wuhuan tribes, the other Hao chiefs brought spit pots, and the big treasury humiliated the officials did not, and directly spit the phlegm into Duan Ri Lujuan's mouth, and Duan Ri Lujuan swallowed it instead...... He bowed to heaven to the west and said, "Let the wisdom of the lord be brought into my womb." ”

Later, he lured exiles of various ethnic groups in Liaodong, and gradually rose to the forefront of Liaodong where the situation was complicated.

Liu Heng is stubborn and stubborn, and persuasion is also vain, and Yang Zheng can only tell Meng Guan.

"The minister will live up to His Majesty!"
