Two hundred and fifteen, the precursor of blizzard
Chen Lu said: "It depends on the judgment of the adults. But to be honest, my old man doesn't like horse meat very much, it's too fishy, so I'm reluctant to make it difficult. As he spoke, he took a few bites and put them all in his mouth. Nalan looked at him, tears rolling in his eyes, and Ha San saw it in his eyes.
After lunch, it was just the first moment of noon, Li Da ordered the pull, and at this time it began to snow lightly, light snow, no wind, and it did not affect the march. But Li Da knows that such snow often turns into heavy snowfall.
The mission walked more than 20 miles, and came to a canyon, with cliffs on the left and an official road full of thorns on the right.
Li Da took a look at the road, it was not covered by snow, there was a stream, it was not frozen, and the ground was full of dead branches and leaves, just enough to put the horses. So he ordered to rest for half an hour, and everyone was not hungry, so he hurried to let the horses and camels drink, drank a little water, prepared the torches, and it was getting dark. After resting for most of the hour, Li Da gave the order to set off, and as soon as the bangzi rang, Ha San ordered to light torches and move northwest along the stream.
Everyone felt that it was getting colder and colder, looking from the torches and snow shadows, there were bare stone mountains all around, there were no trees, the snow was gradually getting bigger, there was no official road, Li Da was afraid of going the wrong way, so he called Chen Lu, and Chen Lu said yes. This river is called the Yinggou River, and you can't go wrong with going northwest along it.
But the river was in a mountain stream, and the men and horses had to drive on the mountain road, and the snow was too big and getting colder and colder. Ha San asked for instructions to rest, Li Da was not allowed, and continued to speed up, Ha San had no choice but to urge the men and horses to move forward. In fact, Ha San wanted the soldiers to change into cotton clothes.
At this time, the officers and soldiers knew why the Xuanwei Division had given them a cotton coat, and they couldn't help but think of the prince.
Han Liu'er found out the big dazor and asked Chen Lu to put it on. Chen Lu refused. Li Da gave the order to let Chen Lu sit in the car, but Chen Lu did not obey the order and rode in front. After walking for more than sixty miles, the chicken man came to report that it had been three days, and Li Da ordered to rest.
Ha San lined up the baggage carts in a circle formation, set up a big tent, and went around to chop wood and get water, and make a fire for cooking. Chen Lu was asking for ghost talismans, Han Liu'er was responsible for sending them outside, and Hu Chun and others pasted the baggage and big tent with ghost talismans.
This time, the soldiers of the Xuanfu Division were a lot more honest, the four people who died in the battle were all theirs, and ten of them were captured by the salt ghost, and they were all soldiers of the same speed. They don't dare to cross the thunder pool half a step now, and do their part honestly.
Ha San saw that it was too late, looked into the air, and in the flying snowflakes, he saw a black shadow, which he couldn't see too clearly on this snowy night. But he had been taught by the Inhumans and knew that there was something unclean, so he ordered all the people who fetched water to be called back, and the horses and camels were examined.
Everyone returned to the circle and changed into cotton clothes. Ha San saw the ghost talisman on the car emitting several rays of light, and he was on alert, and hurriedly ran to tell Chen Lu. Chen Lu said: "I also saw it, don't make a noise first, the sky will be pulled out immediately." β
Everyone was eating, Chen Lu asked Han Liu'er to tell Li Da that he ate in his big tent, but he didn't go. In fact, he was closely watching the movements, and the ghost talisman only flashed a few times, and then regained his composure. Slightly relieved.
Everyone has eaten, and it's already the fourth watch. At the second quarter of the ugly year, the cloud board sounded, and the lights of the major tents went out to rest.
Chen Lu only slept for half an hour before waking up. He was not at ease, so he put on a big hat and walked out of the big tent, where the snow had already covered the ground, and snow flakes as big as bush leaves were smashing straight down. With experience, Chen Lu knows that this is a big blizzard.
Chen Lu quietly walked towards Hasan's big tent, there were sentries patrolling in the snow, and when they saw Chen Lu, they wanted to give a salute, Chen Lu motioned for them to be silent and walked to Hasan's big tent. Ha San had already woken up, lying on the bed and looking out. Seeing Chen Lu come in, he was taken aback, and quickly got up to salute. According to the official rank, Ha San is already a fourth-grade military attachΓ©, and he should not be giving Chen Lu a salute. But this is a person whom he respects, and besides, this is the deputy envoy of the mission, and he also belongs to the prefect.
Ha San said: "Brother Chen, what a coincidence, I wanted to go to you, but I was afraid that it would affect your rest, so I didn't think that you would come to me first." β
"Brother, I'm here to discuss with you urgently. Now, we can't go, we have to prepare quickly. Soon the sky was bright, and all the ghosts and monsters were hidden. Order the soldiers to get out of the camp. β
Ha San nodded yes and said: "It's really the same as what heroes see, mainly firewood and water, water is easy to do, the river in front is not frozen, you can also dig wells, it really can't be boiled with snow, mainly firewood, there are not many trees near here." β
Chen Lu said: "No matter how far away, you have to prepare at least three days of firewood, and you have to set up a fence, which is the perfect plan." β
Ha San said, "Is the eldest brother worried about something weird?"
Chen Lu sighed and said, "It's not worrying, you already know that they have already patronized." Without further ado, we ordered the sapper posts and the husbands to chop firewood, for fear that after a while the heavy snow would close the mountain, we would be passive. β
Ha San said: "Big brother, please go back, rest for a while, and I'll arrange it." β
Chen Lu returned to the big tent, Han Liu'er and they were still asleep, and it was about to dawn. Chen Lu watched a row of torches leave the camp. Xizi came over and woke up Han Liu'er. Chen Lu smiled secretly, one by one, sleeping like a dead pig, in the name of protecting my old man, it is not necessarily who protects whom!
Xizi saw that Chen Lu was already dressed and his boots were full of snow, and knew that he had already made an inspection. He said, "Your Excellency, please." After speaking, he led the way with a horse lantern in front, Chen Lu arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Da sat in the conference hall with a tired face, Nalan stood by the pillar with a saber and nodded to each other with Chen Lu.
Chen Lu hurriedly gave Li Da a salute, and Li Da said: "Lord Zicheng, you are tired enough, I called you up again so early, I can't go away from this posture, I see that it is quite lively outside, how did Ha San arrange it?"
Chen Lu talked about their arrangement. Only then did Li Da know that Master Chen had already gotten up and said, "You have arranged it very thoughtfully. But, I think so, and I'll discuss it with you. We're going to set off now, and we're going to camp in a densely populated area, what do you think?"
Chen Lu said: "The adults are thoughtful, this is good, but the sentry said that there are no people for more than 20 miles ahead, such a heavy snow, I am afraid that I will not be trapped if I can't go far, in case I get to a place where there is no firewood and no water, I can't advance or retreat, and I will be trapped for a few days, which is a big trouble." β
"Oh, so you have thought about it. β
Xizi said, "Master, when the slave went to call Master Chen, he had already returned from General Ha. β
Li Da was very moved and said, "Lord Zicheng, you can't do this, you are fifty after all." It's better than Ha San, you have to pay more attention to rest. β
