Chapter 65: Disaster Strikes
"If you peel off all other people's skins, it's not good for you, and if you join the army in the future, it is estimated that no one will pay attention to you."
As he spoke gently, he threw out an old K.
Yun Chu took out a piece of A tube and said, "I'm a civil official." ”
Gao Wen threw out a 2-tube and said: "That's right, you must stand well when you stand in position, people who are stained on both sides are only suitable for petty officials, and after the official position is big, there is no room to jump left and right."
The petty official can't touch things too deeply, and he may need to pass on a message on both sides, and there is still room for movement.
However, such a person can only be a petty official for the rest of his life, and he will not be promising. ”
Zhang Donghai threw out a piece of Xiao Wang and took K and put it in front of him and said: "They all eat in a court, and they know what to do so clearly." ”
Yun Chu deducted the extra cards and said to Zhang Donghai: "Because Your Majesty has only one, the generals hope that Your Majesty will be close to them, and the ministers also want Your Majesty to be close to them."
No matter who Your Majesty is close to, everyone can get a lot of benefits, so you just have to treat this matter as a conflict of interests. ”
Gently glanced at his cards, threw them all out, and said to Zhang Donghai: "Your king came out too early, we lost this game." ”
Zhang Donghai took out a big king from the card and said: "The king is here, you surrendered too early." ”
Gently looked at Yun Chu and said, "Why do you show the appearance of a king in your hands?"
Yun Chu smiled and dropped the cards and said, "Soldiers are not tired of cheating." ”
Gently lifted the teapot and poured tea for the four people present, "Why did you do things so decisively this time?"
Yun Chu hugged the teacup and said: "Because the generals are becoming more and more devoid of their own persistence and bravery, now these people seem to be able to fight and expand their territory, and that is because there are still some veterans such as Yinggong who are still on top."
Once there is no Ying Gong and Su Gong, you look at them, they will immediately lose the ability to fight a big battle.
Of course, I don't have the ability to do that at the moment, but I have a benefit that no one else can match.
For example, when I was besieging a city, I found that the opponent's city was too strong, so I could come up with something like a giant trebuchet and smash through the city wall.
When I saw that there would be serious losses when someone attacked the city, I would take advantage of the enemy's loophole and set it on fire.
Since ancient times, people like Ying Gong and Su Gong can be called famous generals, and as for the rest, they can only be commented on with the word Wufu. ”
Zhang Donghai listened carefully to what Yun Chu said, and couldn't help asking, "Why do generals look down on those generals?"
Yun Chu smiled lightly and said, "Because they have lost the glory of being a soldier and have become less pure.
Defending the homeland and the country is the duty and glory of a soldier, and if the rest of the things are mixed in these two things, then he is not worthy of being called a soldier.
The more the soldier's mind focuses on the soldier himself, the better, and when the soldier does the work of a civilian official, it is the beginning of a great disaster. ”
Zhang Donghai seemed to understand Yun Chu's words, sighed, and threw away a good card in his hand, after all, his gentleness towards his family had surrendered.
At dawn, a rare blizzard struck Daxingcheng, and in just two hours, the snow swept by the wind piled up as high as the windowsill.
Yun Chu was very worried about Zhong Kui, who was hurrying back, and only hoped that they could find a good shelter to withstand this blizzard.
Once the blizzard in Liaodong comes, it basically freezes the whole world, and even the waves seem to be frozen by the cold in the bustling harbor in the past.
All the empty ships in the harbor have been towed to the shore, and once the big ship is frozen in the water, the ship will basically be scrapped by the beginning of spring.
Daxing City is quiet, most of the military products have been delivered, and the remaining military rope is the most troublesome thing, but fortunately, when the city is closed by heavy snow, this job can be done at home.
A group of cavalry braved the wind and snow to come to the outside of Daxing City.
At this time, the city of Daxing had been closed, and the cavalry shouted loudly in the wind and snow, and the defenders at the head of the city should not have heard it.
A fool would open the gates of the city in such weather and let a group of unknown soldiers into the city.
It was not until the defenders of the city discovered that there was a long group of men and horses behind the cavalry that they blew the horn and prepared to meet the enemy.
When Yun Chu came to the city in armor, he saw Lao He with a snot on his face because of the severe cold, and Lao Huang who wrapped himself like a bear.
Yun Chu didn't understand why they appeared outside Daxing City at this time, so he led a group of government soldiers to go around from another city gate to monitor behind them to make sure that there was no danger, so he ordered the government soldiers at the head of the city to open the city gate and let these refugees enter Daxing City.
Lao He, Lao Huang had long been frozen and couldn't speak, and when Yun Chu took them off the horse, these two people still maintained the appearance of straddle the horse.
After being carried into the City Lord's Mansion by Yun Chu's own soldiers, he immediately took off the new armor on their bodies, wrapped them in a quilt, and threw a lot of firewood into the stove to bake and warm them.
Even Lao He and Lao Huang have become like this, and the doctors and craftsmen under their command have suffered even heavier losses, especially among the hundreds of wounded people who were pulled back by Lao He with a climbing plow, there are less than ten who are angry.
As for the rest, they can only be stacked on the edge of the courtyard wall, waiting for this snowstorm to pass.
Lao Huang and Lao He all had an extremely strong smell of alcohol on their bodies, including those wounded soldiers who froze to death.
This may be the main cause of their deaths.
Drinking alcohol does make people feel warmer, but the problem is that doing so will only make the heat in the body dissipate faster, which means that drinking strong alcohol in such weather will not only not help to keep warm, but will kill you.

Slowly Lao Huang and Lao He's bodies slowly softened, and then, they fell asleep, to be precise, they were drunk.
Gently walked in, first checked the condition of Lao He and Lao Huang, and then said to Yun Chu with a gloomy face: "When they were camping, they were attacked by a group of people of unknown origin, and the commander of Zhichong who escorted them died in battle. ”
Yun Chu looked at the corpses of the Tang people stacked on the side of the courtyard wall and said, "When the blizzard is over, we must find these people and break them into pieces." ”
Sighed softly and said: "The casualties are very heavy, Zhang Donghai has already led people to search for the lone soldiers along the road they came from, and I don't know how many can be saved." ”
In the evening, Zhang Donghai came back with people, and also brought back less than fifty government soldiers who were frozen half to death.
Yun Chu looked at Zhang Donghai, whose beard was full of ice skates, and said, "Did you find anything?"
Zhang Donghai shuddered for a long time before he said: "The camp has been destroyed, and the body of Captain Zhichong was found, and he died in battle, and there were as many as two hundred and thirty soldiers killed in the battle around him. ”
Yun Chu looked at the gradually darkening sky, and the flying snow in the sky, and said, "Go and rest, everything will have to wait for the blizzard to stop." ”
In the middle of the night, Lao He began to have a high fever, and his mouth trembled and shouted Yun Chu's words to save his life.
Lao Huang is a martial artist in the end, after sleeping and being poured a lot of hot soup, although his spirit is sluggish, he can be regarded as sober.
The originally tense body relaxed the moment he saw Yun Chu, and said to Yun Chu: "Hurry up and rescue Captain Li, they are all strongmen, they can't beat them." ”
After Yun Chu helped Lao Huang to lie down, he said slowly: "Captain Li, they have already died in battle, and there are less than fifty surviving government soldiers. ”
Tears slowly seeped out of the corners of Lao Huang's eyes, and he said for a long time: "Fifty of the five hundred soldiers of the two regiments survived?"
Yun Chu saw that Lao Huang's spirit was very poor, so he covered him with a quilt and said: "Sleep well, no matter who harms these soldiers, I will not let them continue to live in this world." ”
The blizzard then blew for two days and seemed to stop all at once in the early morning.
When the snow foam settled, the blue sky was revealed, and the sun hung in the sky without temperature.
The snow stopped, but the weather became colder and colder, and the hot breath from the nose didn't have time to get out of the nasal cavity, as if it was frozen on the nose.
Outside the city, there was a vast white expanse, and the snow under the city wall at the front end was even more than a zhang thick.
In such weather, people should stay in the city and the house honestly, and if they run outside at will, they will soon be completely frozen.
Therefore, Yun Chu did not send a large army out of the city.
Now, there is a military force outside the city that can easily kill five hundred experienced soldiers of Longyou Daofu, and it is not a good choice to go out of the city easily.
In the past two days, Yun Chu finally learned what had happened to them from the mouths of these living people.
Big trouble.
Of the wounded soldiers who froze to death, the lowest rank was also an accompanying lieutenant, and the highest rank was Chang Heng, a guerrilla general who supervised the guards.
It can be said that among the more than 80 people who froze to death, all of them were the most critical grassroots generals in the Tang Army.
It is because of the importance that the Eastern Expeditionary Army will allow Lao He, and Lao Huang will take these people back to Daxing City to recuperate.
When walking to a place less than thirty miles away from Daxing City, the snowstorm was getting bigger and bigger, and there was really no way to act, in order to take care of these wounded soldiers, Lao He ordered to camp on the spot, preparing to wait for the snowstorm to pass before going to Daxing City.
No one could have imagined that in such weather there would be any enemies in the area controlled by the Tang army.
Just as everyone was set up and ready to get some hot food to eat, a group of white-clothed people hiding under the snow suddenly came out.
Datang Zhichong Lieutenant hurriedly responded to the battle, but he didn't expect to be killed by the other party with a single face.
Lao Huang is also an experienced person, and immediately ordered all the soldiers to meet the enemy, they hurriedly loaded the wounded soldiers onto the climbing plow, and under the protection of the commander of Zhichong, they fought a bloody road and went straight to Daxing City.
"Can you be sure of the identities of those people?" Yun Chu asked the experienced Lao Huang, and he believed that as long as those people opened their mouths, Lao Huang would be able to identify them.
Lao Huang shook his head and said: "No one made a sound, each of them had a wooden stick on their mouths, and it was an assault launched by Lian Mei." ”
