It was the coldest winter in nearly a thousand years, and even several famous ice-free ports were frozen in the snow.

In this winter, the river that should not freeze all year round is also frozen like the Qinghe, and a glacier must not be used as a moat to block the army, and because of this, the warships of the Wei State were sealed in the Dongting Lake, and they could no longer cross the river to intercept it, so that the army of Xiao Maha and Xiao Quji easily crossed the river that had stopped countless iron horsemen, and was able to come to Jiangzhou and cut off the retreat of the Wei army.

Xiao Jin and Wanyan Beiyue were known as the two great immortals in the north and south of the world, especially proficient in the way of divination, like a god, and he would not be unaware of such changes in the sky, but he thought that he would be able to solve the war in Jiangnan before winter, and at that time, Daqi was too busy to take care of himself, and it was not enough whether the river was frozen or not, but he never thought that after several changes in the war situation, it was to the point where it is today, and a frozen river has become his lifeline, forcing him into a desperate situation.

At the same time, Daomen had completely given up on Xiao Jin, but shifted the last attention to Lin Han, after all, the battle on Lin Han's side, although tragic, but not to the point where Xiao Jin was almost dead, relying on the advantage of numbers, so that Zhang Wuxi, who was fighting alone, had to take a retreat, if he was desperate, he could not make a difference.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Lan Yu cannot easily leave Shuzhou, and the Shuzhou army cannot all go out of Shuzhou.

As for the northeast, after the death of King Mutang of Liao, Zha Qing became the real power figure in Sanzhou, second only to Zao Wou-Ki sent by the imperial court, but Zha Qing also knew that he could have today's status, but it was the situation of the times, in addition to the imperial court, there were also Buddhism, so he did not dare to have the slightest arrogance, and cooperated with Zao Wou-Ki to gradually take over the land of the three states in the northeast, and strive not to have any chaos.

Now the eyes of the world are gathered in Jiangnan, the war situation here will determine the next general trend of the world, and now the king of Wei is in the dead land, but the battle of the trapped beast still has the power of a battle, and the court wants to take down the king of Wei, it is not so simple.

However, discerning people also know that to such a point, there are fewer and fewer chess players who are qualified to fall on the chessboard, Mu Tang's death, Xiao Jin is in a crisis, only the imperial court and the Daomen are left, and the imperial court has gradually turned from a disadvantage to an advantage, and then it depends on whether the imperial court can stabilize, and then convert the advantage into a winning situation.

Speaking of the war in the south of the Yangtze River, from the beginning, the earliest time was the Wei State to invade, with the strength of the whole country against Yu Kuang's Jiangnan army, to fight a country, naturally a big defeat, after the defeat of Dongting Lake, the Jiangnan rear army was completely lost, Yu Kuang could only collect the rest of the army, and defend the two Xiang.

When Xu Beiyou became the general of Pingyu, first relieved the siege of Liangxiang, and then moved Shuzhou to reinforce troops, coupled with the arrival of the 100,000 Chinese army led by Wei Wuji, the situation in Jiangnan was finally stabilized, and Xiao Jin's intention to fight quickly was completely shattered, thus dragging the situation in Jiangnan into the quagmire of wrestling between the two sides.

Next, the defeat of Mutang in the northeast made the imperial court have the spare strength to transfer the 80,000 troops originally stationed in Shanhai City to Jiangnan, in this case, Xiao Jin intended to take a risk, from the lake into Shu, and Lin Han's army formed a meeting momentum, but the matter leaked the rumors, and was successfully stopped by Lan Yu, so that the Wei army fell into the current situation.

After reaching this step, the generals gathered in Jiangnan can also breathe a sigh of relief, after all, the fault of this battle is not that Xiao Jin's plan is unfavorable, but that it is the hearts of the people in the world, which will inevitably remind people of the sentence that the times are not good.

Wei Wuji left the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, came to the outside of the camp, walked on the mountain road covered with white frost, climbed a hill called Hanshan, looked at the flag faintly visible at the end of his sight from a distance, and said slowly: "I can't move forward anymore." ”

The person beside him is Yu Kuang, who is as famous as him. Today's four famous generals of Daqi, Tomb Python Chaqing is in the northeast, the sick tiger Zhang Wuzhi is in the northwest, and the human cat Wei Wuji and the flying bear Yu Kuang are all in Jiangnan, which can also see how important the situation in Jiangnan is.

Yu Kuang was silent for a moment, and said: "Another day's itinerary is the forward position of the Wei army, if you rashly march and make the two armies encounter a war, it will be a major event that will affect the whole body, not to mention the result, after all, it is in the imperial court, if you lose the battle, it will be a great sin to lose your life." ”

Wei Wuji said calmly: "This is all an afterthought, to say a bad bad word, if this battle is lost, the Great Qi Dynasty may be gone, and there will be no future." ”

Yu Kuang sighed lightly.

Wei Wuji retracted his gaze, looked down at a dead grass under his feet, and for no reason gave birth to a nameless fire, and completely crushed the dead grass with the tip of his shoe, and then continued: "The imperial court will not fail to understand this truth, and the eldest princess will not fail to understand this truth, so they will be cautious, after all, we have the upper hand now, even if we delay the fighter, it is better than rashly attacking and losing a big loss." ”

Yu Kuang said slowly: "Back then, the four of us served as Emperor Taizu's personal guard, and in the early years, they were all leading generals, so there was a saying that there were four famous generals, but since Emperor Taizongwen ascended the throne, the path of several of us is different, Zhang Wuzhi was dismissed from his official position by the Queen Mother because of the party dispute in Lanhan, and went to be a monk, Cha Qing followed the Mu family to the Northeast, and stayed there for more than 20 years, and I chose to follow Emperor Gaozongsu and be a person from the dragon. In the final analysis, the three of us are all people who have not been in the temple for a long time, only you have been staying in that imperial capital city, you are the most aware of the situation in the temple, according to your opinion, who will Her Royal Highness the eldest princess let be the person in charge of the overall situation in Jiangnan?"

Wei Wuji seemed to have already thought about this question, and said without thinking: "First of all, it is certain that Old Master Lan will never be able to do so, first, he can't do without Shuzhou, and second, if he masters the military power of Jiangnan, half of the country is in his hands, and the eldest princess will not do this easily." Secondly, it won't be me, my prestige is insufficient, and I am not the confidant of the eldest princess. In the end, it won't be you, the defeated general. Therefore, the result is already obvious, there is only one person who the eldest princess really believes in and is willing to entrust with the heavy responsibility. ”

Yu Kuang sighed, "Xu Beiyou." ”
