She reached out and grabbed a snowflake and watched it slowly melt in her palm.

"It's going to change. She clapped her hands gently.

The next day, the Central Northern Army received bad news:

The logistics horse team that delivered supplies to the army was robbed!

The robbers are the Brown Army. The casualties they inflicted were minimal, but the supplies were looted cleanly, leaving not even a pair of cotton socks behind. The escort officer was lucky to survive, and after recounting the process in the big tent with trepidation, Hu Yanlong, the commander of the Central and Northern Army, slapped the handrail angrily: "Send troops!

This is likely to be the last shipment before the start of spring. Heavy snow in winter closes the road, and several safe official roads cannot be walked, and distribution may not be organized in the north. Just by looking at the amount of this batch of materials is much larger than before, we can know the plan of the royal court.

If this batch of supplies is not returned, what will the Central and Northern Army take to feed people and horses, what to withstand the cold, and what to supplement ordnance and medicine?

It stands to reason that the robbery has just taken place, and there is a high probability of recovery. However, Hu Yanlong ordered a few generals to lead his troops to chase after him, but he went around several circles in the mountains and came back with a disgraced face.

The Marquis of Zhenbei heard about this and came to offer condolences and expressed his willingness to send troops to help. Hu Yanlong refused.

His own supplies were robbed, and he still needs someone to help him find them? Hu Yanlong can't afford to lose this person.

But the second time he sent out, the manpower was even worse, and one team was directly ambushed, and the whole army was wiped out. Only the generals who led the troops came back, but they were stripped naked and tied to their horses, and they were pointed at by many people along the way.

Again and again, Hu Yanlong's face couldn't be hung up. He was already impatient, and at this time, regardless of the dissuasion of his subordinates, he personally put on the battle and led the troops to chase him.

Not long after he set off, the main force of the Brown Army, which had been shrinking in the Fenglai Mountains for a long time, suddenly went against the norm and pounced on the attack like a tiger wolf. The Zhenbei Army and the Central and Southern Army were busy responding to the battle.

At this moment, news suddenly came from the Eastern Front that Longnan City had been attacked!

And the attacker was Tong Li, one of the three commanders of the Brown Army, with more than 20,000 siege troops.

Longnan City is twenty-five miles east of the camp of the Zhongnan Army, and has always been the richest city within a radius of 100 miles, and the reason for the Brown Army to attack it seems to be very strong, and it is better to survive the winter by grabbing money and grain.

When Pan Junwen, the commander of the Central Northern Army, heard the news, his face changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but come to Zhenbei Hou to discuss.

The ancestral home of the Pan family is in Longnan City, and there are still more than 300 Pan family members living in the city. Although this big city is full of rich people, its city walls are not as thick as Qingling City.

The enemy is the best at siege warfare in the Brown Army!

Involving a family, Pan Junwen's heart is like a mess at the moment. Han Zhao was kind enough to comfort him, and persuaded him to immediately send troops to Longnan City.

It's only twenty-five miles away, if Pan Junwen rushes to it immediately, there is a great chance of saving Longnan City. And he also attacked the troops of Tong Li, the main force of the Brown Army, and he could take care of both public and private affairs.

Han Zhao said sincerely: "You just have to go, I am here." ”

The Zhenbei Army was originally the strongest in the counterinsurgency team, and Pan Junwen did not doubt him, so he turned around and left.

When these two groups of men and horses left the main battlefield, the Brown Army and the Zhenbei Army, which were originally fighting inextricably, suddenly withdrew.

At this time, the logistics battalion had been opened, and the Zhenbei Army changed direction and headed due north.

By the time the Central and Northern Army and the Central and Southern Army received the news from the rear, the Zhenbei Army had slipped away. It went too badly, leaving the old camp of the other two armies, which was easily looted by the Brown Army.

Hu Yanlong and Pan Junwen were extremely angry, but they didn't know what the Zhenbei Army was playing, and the Brown Army took out the strength to eat milk and bite them to stalk. Without the Zhenbei Army to suppress the formation, these two armies are really difficult to deal with the Brown Army, not to mention that they are still standing on the territory of the Brown Army. The materials that the Central and Northern Army relied on for the winter were snatched away again, and there was a shortage of food and clothing in winter, so they had to ask the Central and Southern Army for help, and the morale of the two armies fell to the bottom, and the road back to the north was difficult.

More than half a month later, news from the north flew one after another, and finally confirmed the speculation of these two people:

Han Zhao, the famous god of the patriotic army and the marquis of Zhenbei, rebelled.

......

Before the report of the Central and Northern Army and the Central and Southern Army reached Shengyi, King Wei first received an urgent report from the south:

The generalissimo of the Brown Army, Mao Dingsheng, led his army to appear on the White Horse Plain and marched north.

No one knows how they managed to bypass the front line and sneak into the hinterland.

The White Horse Plain is only 500 miles away from Shengyi, and good horses can reach it in two or three days. This rebel army numbered more than 20,000 people, and it appeared too suddenly, and the interior was not prepared to defend against the enemy at all, and he took two cities after three strikes and five divisions.

King Wei was shocked when he heard the news, and quickly dispatched his troops, and the death order he issued was actually only the essence of three words:

Intercept it!

However, he then received a flight message from Zhenbei Hou:

The Zhenbei army had already gone north to pursue the enemy, and it was only a hundred miles away from the two cities that had been occupied. The rebels desperately went deep into the interior, which was a self-defeating retreat, and the Zhenbei army would definitely wipe it out in the central part of the country, thus avoiding David's trouble.

The fact that the Brown Army was able to bypass the front line and infiltrate the hinterland was indeed a stroke of genius, but it also put itself in the predicament of encountering enemies on all sides. The worst thing is that the logistics supply is not available at all, and the food and use are all relied on robbery, and it is almost impossible to wait for reinforcements - Mao Dingsheng took this risk, which is not necessarily cost-effective.

King Wei was originally frightened, but after receiving Han Zhao's analysis, he settled down in his heart and gave a reply, ordering him to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, so as not to delay the people's livelihood.

However, this time the Brown Army changed its strategy, and did not stay after capturing the two cities, but only looted the available supplies, and then continued to march north.

This method of warfare can be called "wandering warfare", which is somewhat similar to the fighting style of the steppe tribes in the west. Mao Dingsheng did not have many men, and if he divided his forces to defend the city, his strength would definitely be weakened, so he made this choice.

When the army sent by the royal court arrived, the brown army had already slipped away. The White Horse Plain is very wide, the roads extend in all directions, and 20,000 people are released here, and there is no shadow after a while.

This game of peek-a-boo goes all the way to the banks of the Sanlong River.

Walking here, the Hakuba Plain has come to an end, and further north is the Kokushi Hills. It is no longer open and horizontal, and with the water and rivers blocking it, the access to and from the north has become a limited two.

It is only a hundred miles away from Shengyi, which is closer than the footsteps of the Brown Army's previous Northern Expedition. The Wei royal court was extremely nervous, and the daily court discussions were overturned because of this matter, and some ministers advised that it was cold in Shengyi, and the king of Wei could go to accompany the capital to avoid the cold and recuperate. Weiguo takes Mufu City as the accompanying capital, the four seasons are like spring, it is indeed a good place for recuperation, and the Wei kings of all dynasties have precedents of going to Mufu City to spend the winter.

However, it is close to the old capital, and it is more than 200 miles away from Shengyi. To make such a suggestion at this time is nothing more than to ask the king to go and take refuge.
