Thousands of miles of snow-capped mountains are intertwined with fluttering snowflakes and ice crystals, sometimes flying in the air picturesquely, shimmering mysteriously in the cold sun, exuding a profound charm.

Jia Hui and the others didn't have the heart to appreciate this rare beauty.

Damn, it's snowing!

If they were still in Han Land, Jia Hui would be very happy to play with his brothers in the snow, but now they are in the mountains!

"Asr, how far is it from the hot spring you said?" Jia Hui looked at Asr with a gloomy face.

Asr is the original Daru Huachi of Aksaichin.

"Back to the general, it's almost there, climb the mountain pass in front, there is a big cave in the mountain, enough for everyone to go in and avoid the snow."

Jia Hui stared at Asr's eyes tightly, murderous.

Asr felt as if he had been locked in by a tiger, unable to move, and even the horse he was riding became restless.

But he still mustered up the courage and firmly met Jia Hui's lustful gaze.

Just because the dead Abu inadvertently offended the Taishi, he was calculated, which is equivalent to exile to Aksai Chin.

There was only a group of soldiers who had also offended Shangguan and were sent here.

Barring no accidents, they could stay in Aksai Chin for the rest of their lives until one day they are devoured by wolves.

This group of Qi army can be said to be the only chance in his life to change his life.

I must gain the trust of my boss, General Jia!

So when the sky suddenly snowflakes, Asr knew that his only bargaining chip came in handy.

I stumbled upon a rift with a hot spring!

Asr did not hesitate, and resolutely rode over and told Jia Hui that he knew a relatively secret rift valley with hot springs, which had a large space and could shelter from the wind.

Jia Hui's map can only see two-dimensional pictures, and once he enters a place like a dense forest, he can only scratch blind.

Hearing Asr's words, Jia Hui rekindled his hope, anyway, there was no other way, the wind and snow were blowing, and it was still approaching evening, if it continued like this, the temperature would drop to almost minus 20 degrees.

Now it's either to take Asr's word and gamble, or to go hungry and cold at night and lose a large number of people!

After only thinking about two breaths, Jia Hui immediately made a decision and ordered a rapid march.

Walk with all your strength towards the cave that Asr is pointing to.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the icy wind slashed at the soldiers like knives.

The soldiers on the windward side were already in a trance.

Jia Hui hurriedly ordered to take turns to replace Windward.

"General, the front is going downhill, and you will reach the valley mouth by walking another mile!"

Asr said excitedly to Jia Hui.

"Brethren, hurry up!" Jia Hui also vaguely saw a shadow in the mountains.

After walking downhill for another mile, Jia Hui finally arrived at the cave that Asr had mentioned.

This is a clearing formed by two glaciers squeezing together and arching up.

It looks like a cave three miles deep and nine zhang wide.

Jia Hui breathed a long sigh of relief, glanced at Asr gratefully, and quickly turned his head and beckoned the follow-up troops to enter the cave.

Asr, whose attention was all on Jia Hui, naturally noticed Jia Hui's gaze and smiled, now he finally became his own person.

Jia Hui watched at the entrance of the cave until Shui Che also entered the cave before he completely relaxed, stumbling, and was supported by the soldiers who had been prepared by him, and Shui Che also worriedly held Jia Hui's other side.

"I'm fine, Brother Che, you go and drive all the yaks we have captured to the entrance of the cave, these yaks have long hair and thick skin, and they won't freeze badly, so let the brothers block the wind."

Shui Che hurriedly went to make arrangements.

Along the way, I also met several small tribes, and exchanged salt and tea bricks for a few animals.

Originally, he planned to let them go, but when he saw that the tribal elder quietly arranged for someone to slip away from the other side of the tribe, Jia Hui became murderous.

The young man who ran out was unsurprisingly caught by the scouts who were lying in ambush around, and followed in the footsteps of the others.

As soon as the fire was burned clean, Jia Huibu continued to move forward with more things.

By the time he entered the snow-capped mountains, Jia Huibu had more than 300 yaks in his hands.

The sheep are usually eaten on the spot, leaving only yaks to transport supplies and make manure.

Cow dung is the only fuel in the land.

Now they are selflessly blocking the entrance of the cave to give them a shield from the wind.

Thanks yak!

There is indeed a hot spring in the cave, but it is too hot and smells of sulfur, so it is simply used as a heat source.

The cave is barely ventilated in front and back, so you don't have to worry about the hot spring emitting some unknown gas and killing everyone.

The respective teams also used their helmets to inject some hot water and held them in their arms to keep warm.

To be on the safe side, the water Jia Hui drank was still a snow that people went outside to pick up.

It was completely dark, and Jia Hui did not choose to camp near the hot spring, but gave up the place to the soldiers who were a little hypothermic. Chen Jingyuan took someone to take care of it there.

Asr walked to Jia Hui's side with a wooden tube of meat porridge.

"General, eat something. This is a beef porridge boiled before entering the mountain, and it is heated with hot spring water through a wooden tube. ”

Jia Hui unceremoniously took the wooden tube and drank all the porridge in one go.

Taking out a cloth from his chest and wiping his mouth, Jia Hui looked at Asr.

"It's good, I'll be my own person in the future, call me the general, it's too good to call the general."

Asr's hanging heart finally landed, stood up and took a step back, and fell to his knees again.

"Borzigit Asr meets the general."

"Borzigit? You're still a member of Heshute's clan? ”

"The slave doesn't dare to call the clan, the slave's Ovo can still have something to do with Lazang Khan, according to the Han people, he just arrived in Wufu, and when he came to my Abu, he just had the same surname, and he didn't feel comfortable with a foreign surname when he arrived at the slave." Asr laughed to himself.

"Minions? Don't call yourself a slave in the future, you are not my slave, you brought everyone here, saved the lives of I don't know how many people, and we are brothers. ”

Chagan Bari also leaned over.

"Yes, yes, the rules of our Mengwu are different from those of Daqi, and it is good to call yourself subordinate and humble in the future."

"Okay, my subordinates understand."

Listen to the advice of others to eat well.

He also began to boil a decoction to dispel cold.

Before Jia Hui set off, he had already made these medicinal materials grind into powder.

In this way, you can bring the most things in the smallest space, after all, many medicinal materials are large and sturdy, so there will be many gaps between the medicinal materials, wasting space.

The second is that if the army is sick, it is not a matter of one or two, grind it into powder and pour it into the pot, and you can drink it as soon as the water is boiled, Jia Hui is not sure if there will be a problem, but Sui Junlang patted his chest and said that there would be no problem, Jia Hui saw that the medicinal materials were mostly dried ginger and rhodiola rosea, so he believed it.

The most important thing is to save firewood.

Brewing boiling water and drinking it can save a lot of firewood and cow dung.

I saw the wounded soldier lying on the edge of the hot spring pinched by Lang Zhong and poured it into his mouth, and then his tongue was stuck out by the dried ginger powder.

Jia Hui chuckled lightly and looked at the flying snow outside the cave.

I'm still too immature and neglected a lot of things.

The eyelids are getting heavier and heavier.

When I woke up, it was about midnight the next day.

The biological clock that I have raised since I was a child is about this time.

If there is nothing to do, I will also exercise in the yard at this time, and when the morning exercise is over, Yue Liduo will take a warm towel to carefully wipe her face, and then pull herself to eat breakfast at just the right temperature.

When he was still in Rongguo Mansion, his big maid Mandarin Duck woke him up.

Phew, I'm thinking about Yue Riduo, don't think about another woman when you're thinking about one woman in your head!

Tsk, I don't know what happened to Yue Liduo in Dihua.

The whole cave was full of the stench of not taking a bath for more than ten days, and Jia Hui missed her more and more.

The soldiers who leaned together to keep warm also gradually woke up.

I ate some fried rice and cheese cubes, and my body was refilled with calories.

In the heavy snow, you must eat so that you have something in your body to replenish your energy and resist the cold.

The idle soldiers began to find something to do for themselves, most of them took out knife cloths and began to maintain their weapons, Jia Hui saw this, and simply ordered someone to distribute the armor to everyone, and each person began to wipe and maintain it. These are things to eat and save lives, and they must be maintained from time to time, and there is no room for sloppiness.

After entering the cave, the soldiers also kept talking as quietly as possible, and began to maintain their weapons, and the sound of the whole cave was much quieter.

Jia Hui also began to maintain his weapons.

First of all, I checked whether the big bow was damaged, for this kind of three-stone hard bow, any small crack may cause the bow body to crack, and then hurt yourself.

Fortunately, the big bow was in good condition, so Jia Hui put the bow back into the bag.

Melee weapons, Jia Hui still took a pair of steel whips given to him by his grandfather, and there were still some long steel whips when he first got them, but now they are finally the right length, but they are lighter and lighter for themselves.

This pair of steel whips has been killed all the way from Ningxia Wei to the present, and the whip has long been scarred, but fortunately, this thing is a heavy weapon, and it is good to be able to smash people, and when this battle is over, return to Beijing and rebuild a pair of about 15 catties each.

Then there is the standard Yanling knife of the imperial court.

The good knife that my grandfather gave me had broken at the head of Hami, and I could only use the system issued by the imperial court.

As for the sword, it is not for itself.

However, there are good quality short swords as their own obstacle weapons.

As for the long weapon, Jia Hui didn't choose his own horse lance, that thing was too long to take into the mountains.

And it is extremely difficult to repair, and there are only three old craftsmen who can repair the entire Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, but there are many tools, which is really inconvenient.

So in retreat, Jia Hui brought a spear.

Fortunately, I practiced spears from the beginning, so I didn't need to get used to it.

The snow finally stopped the next day and night.

Jia Hui ordered the luggage and supplies to be sorted out.

More than a dozen cows were killed, and today everyone ate two meals of meat a day, and the rest were chopped into minced meat, put into the pot with the grains they brought with them, such as fried rice, and boiled for a day, and finally cooked into porridge.

Then he took it in a small wooden tube that he carried with him, threw it into the snow, and after a while, it froze into pieces.

The next time you drink it, put it on the fire and roast it, or throw it in a pot and boil it with water.

Jia Hui tried his best to make sure that the soldiers under his command could eat something good.

The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and if you eat a good meal before you die in battle, you will not leave regrets on the road to Huangquan.

Early in the morning of the third day, Chaganbari and Asr, two who were familiar with the road, set out first to clear the road for the army.

Snow is actually a good thing, at the very least, the vigilance of Heshuot will be much lighter.

Take this opportunity to walk a little more.
