Time flies, and in an instant, it is already winter.

Snowflakes fell in the sky, causing the entire heaven and earth to be hazy, and the endless river seemed to have exhausted its energy, and it was no longer possible to resist the power of the Winter Demon, so that the entire river surface was completely condensed.

Looking at the scene outside the window, Yu was very worried, and said secretly: "Why is there no news from Lin'an?"

At that time, when the Mongols invaded Sichuan and Shu, it was autumn, but now it is already winter.

I don't know what happened, but the winters in recent years have been colder than ever, and people must wear thick cotton jackets to avoid freezing to death in this cold and abnormal weather.

However, Diaoyu City was built in a hurry, and there were not many reserve materials, especially the cotton clothes used to survive the cold, which were even more stretched.

It's even harder to meet the needs of everyone in the city.

For this reason, the remaining letters were sent to Lin'an City several times, asking for reinforcements, but Lin'an City did not respond for a long time, which was really annoying.

"Are you still thinking about Lin'an?" I don't know when, Wang Jian appeared here.

"That's right. ”

Yu nodded and replied: "Although this place is very far away from Lin'an, according to the usual inference, Lin'an City should have already reflected it. Even if there is no food or clothing, at least there should be a letter. Why didn't they react?"

Wang Jian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Maybe they forgot? After all, you should know what those people are." ”

"Forget, how is this possible!" Yu Xuan was immediately shocked, and reared: "You must know that if this time, if we can't hold this city, then the entire Sichuan and Shu will completely fall into the hands of the Mongols." When the time comes, Mongolia, which has mastered the entire Sichuan and Shu, can attack Lin'an from behind. Don't they know that?"

"Clear, but what about clear?" Wang Jian sneered and continued, "It's not that you don't know what these guys think. They never cared, they only cared about whether they had enough money in their hands and whether they could exert power on the heads of the people. When it came to the key point, Wang Jian leaned over and sighed again: "They have never really taken the people to heart. ”

"What do you say......"

Yu patted his head and looked at Wang Jian helplessly.

Wang Jian chuckled: "Isn't what I'm saying the truth?"

"Even if it's true, I'm sorry for you to be tactful. Is that okay?" Yu replied helplessly.

"Okay. But since there is no hope for reinforcements, how are you going to face the Mongol army?" Wang Jian continued.

This Mongolian army is not their southern army, as the Mongolians who have lived in the steppe for a long time, they often face the wind and snow that swept everything, which exercised their tenacious physique and will, and the ice and snow of the Sichuan and Shu generation at the moment are simply incomparable with the wind and snow above Mobei.

At that time, the wind and snow will be combined, and the Mongolian army will take advantage of this time to directly attack the city, but I am afraid that the entire Diaoyu City will not be able to continue to maintain its previous appearance.

Sure enough, at the foot of the city, there was a burst of gunfire.

Accompanied by the sound of gunshots, countless people shouted one after another, and the two looked at each other, also showing a little tiredness.

"Enemy attack. The Mongols are coming this way. ”

The familiar voice resounded throughout Diaoyu City again, and it also made the soldiers who had been stationed in Diaoyu City for a long time feel very annoyed.

At the moment, however, they had no other way to speak than to stand up to the Mongols.

It's just that the two red rays that crossed the sky made them feel a little safe.

As long as Yu and Wang Jian are here, they can still support it.

............

"It's cold. this year. ”

After drinking a cup of hot tea, Xiao Feng's eyes glowed with a little fluorescence, reflecting the snowflakes in the distance.

After entering the winter, this Sichuan and Shu are much colder than usual, if this environment is still outside, it will have to freeze to death. However, the stove had already been set up in this room, and the coal in the furnace, which was swallowed up by the flames, was making a "crackling" sound, making the whole room warm.

Xiao Jingmao glanced out the window and asked, "That's true." It's just my lord, are we still waiting in this Lizhou?"

Although the Irikawa plan has been determined, more than three months have passed since October, and her lord has never been dispatched, which really makes people wonder what she is thinking.

"Of course. After all, the current situation is not the right time to send troops in any way. Putting down the teacup, Xiao Feng bowed slightly.

Xiao Jingmao was immediately annoyed, but he was still qualified, but he didn't dare to anger the woman in front of him without permission, so he asked, "Then when will we send troops?"

"Don't worry. There will always be a time for troops. The corners of Xiao Feng's mouth curled slightly, and his lips suddenly opened, but he asked, "It's just Xiao Jingmao, do you think this winter is a little unusual?"

"Unusual, is it colder than usual?" Xiao Jingmao looked stunned for a moment, and asked again.

Xiao Feng couldn't help but be unaware again, and casually said a reason: "That's right." According to the report of the spies in Lin'an City, it is snowing in Lin'an City, although it is only a light snow, but do you know that Lin'an City has not snowed for at least hundreds of years. Isn't it strange, you say?"

"I've heard that it's snowing there today. In this regard, even the ministers of the court thought that this was a bad omen, and demanded that the saints of the present day condemn themselves and announce them to the world. When Xiao Jingmao saw Xiao Feng mention this, he immediately realized, but he remembered what happened before.

In inland areas, snow is a sparse and common occurrence.

However, for coastal cities, especially in the southern part of the Yangtze River, the so-called heavy snow is so rare that if it does snow, it will be recorded in the annals of history as a bad omen.

This was the case with the snow in Lin'an City before.

"Bad omen? After all, even Lin'an City has started to snow, so what about the residents of Mobei, and what will happen to them?" Fu You raised his head, Xiao Feng looked at Xiao Jingmao with a playful look, and his eyes were full of indifference.

Told by this, Xiao Jingmao's mind immediately rushed into the previous situation of the Mongolian people, and immediately shouted: "Lord, do you mean that Mobei has also suffered the same situation, even more than usual?"

Compared to the Central Plains, where they can survive the winter on stored grain, the nomads above the desert are more sensitive to weather changes.

If the wind blows a little harder, the snow falls a little more, and the weather is a little colder, it will cause more cattle and sheep to freeze to death from the winter. If too many animals die, there will be far fewer lives to feed.

In order to seize the materials that can survive, this group of nomads who have lived in Mobei for generations can only go south and invade the Great Wall to seize food.

Because this is the only way to keep them alive.

"That's right. This weather change was originally a matter that enveloped the whole of China, and it was by no means limited to a corner of the country. You wonder why the Mongols are so brutal, but do you know why the Mongols have repeatedly invaded the south? That's why. Because the weather was getting colder and colder, and the livestock produced in Mobei was far from meeting the needs of the herdsmen, they were forced to make the decision to go south. Xiao Feng nodded and replied, "This is the original reason for the establishment of the Mongol Empire. ”

Xiao Jingmao was a little dazed, and continued to ask: "But lord, what is the connection between this and our entry into Sichuan?"

"Of course there is a connection. ”

Xiao Feng's eyes moved slightly, and they fell on Xiao Jingmao again.

Stared at by these two black eyes, Xiao Jingmao was not half happy, but felt that his heart was full of coldness, he was really afraid of the person in front of him, and he didn't want to come here at all if he had to.

"You should know. We entered Sichuan this time, one is to control the entire Sichuan and Shu and ensure the stability of our army's rear, and the other is to annihilate the Mongolian army led by Meng Ge, Guo Kan and others in one fell swoop, and then destroy the other party's living forces. If these two plans can be carried out smoothly, then we will be able to truly lay the foundation for the founding of our army and the country, and we will be able to have a 20-year development plan. Twenty years is enough to change the situation of the whole world. ”

The words full of demagoguery made Xiao Jingmao's heart move, and he asked: "Establish a country?

Although he had long known that Xiao Feng had different intentions, Xiao Jingmao had never confirmed it, and now he heard the word "founding the country" from Xiao Feng's mouth, and he couldn't help but feel extremely excited.

They are northerners and have no feelings for the Song Dynasty, so when Xiao Feng stepped into Lin'an and acted as a minister, it really caused chaos in the army, thinking that Xiao Feng only wanted his own glory and wealth, but he forgot the future of everyone.

However, when they were building Guanzhong later, they saw that Xiao Feng had arranged himself and others one by one, so they were relieved, but the word "Song Dynasty vassals" had always been an eyesore, and they had always wanted to pull it out.

"Of course. ”

Xiao Feng nodded, generously admitted, his eyebrows were full of energy, and he naturally had the pride and ambition to guide the country.

"And you also see what the Song Dynasty looks like today. The elite of Mongolia was exhausted this time, but it was only a labor expedition, and it was a guest battle, and there was no half advantage. If the Song Dynasty took it seriously and concentrated all its strength in one place, it was not impossible to completely defeat the other party. But now that winter is approaching, there has been no action. In this case, why should I replace him?"

The arrogance in the words is evident outside.

When he heard the excitement, Xiao Jingmao replied loudly: "Lord." This time, there will be no return for those Tartars. ”

"That's fine. Also, you must remember that this battle is not about attacking the city, but about annihilating the opponent's living forces. After all, the Mongolian commanders were cavalrymen, and they came and went like flying, which was really difficult. Only by finishing the battle and completely annihilating the opponent can we deal a heavy blow to the opponent and make it impossible for the opponent to go south. Xiao Feng saw that Xiao Jingmao was full of fighting spirit, and gave another guide.

She had already envisaged this battle, and the staff had already made a lot of calculations, in order to completely destroy the other side in this battle, and not just thwart the other party's attack as usual.

The many sacrifices made since the Luzhou Incident will also start today, and real revenge will be launched.

............

Langzhou.

"Brother. Why is the Red Phoenix Army right in front of us, why haven't we attacked yet?"

With a look of annoyance, Wang Liangchen raised his foot and kicked open the door of the mansion.

With a "hula" sound, the wind and snow poured into the mansion together, making Wang Dechen, who was working inside, suddenly feel that the temperature dropped by several degrees, and raised his head to look at Wang Liangchen unhappily. He got up and closed the door to block the wind and snow outside, then turned to look at Wang Liangchen and asked, "What happened again, making you so angry?"

"Brother. You should know that the murderer of the second brother is not far away in the Sword Pavilion Pass. In that case, then why do you always stand still?" Wang Liangchen shook his arms and shouted at Wang Dechen.

Months have passed since the capture of the city.

During this period of time, Wang Dechen was also under the strict orders of Meng Ge and others, and never went north to attack the Chifeng Army, but only attacked the Song army garrison everywhere, and collected materials in the territory by the way, so as to ensure the continuous supply of the army.

For this situation, Wang Liangchen, a belligerent person, was naturally dissatisfied, so he endured it until now, and it completely broke out.

Wang Dechen's face was dark, and he sneered: "Of course I know. But do you think we can fight each other? Don't forget, the other side has 30,000 elite soldiers under his command. Remember, it's not the ragged remnants of the defeated soldiers who gather in the mountains and forests, but the elite soldiers in armor, armed with guns, and armed with thousands of cannons. Do you think that with less than 3,000 men under our command, we can defeat the other party? And its leader is Xiao Feng. This person is the head of the Red Phoenix Army, and his pure glass flame is unfathomable, with the strength of you and me, how can I resist it?"

"But, are we just going to stay here and do nothing?"

Wang Liangchen was dumbfounded for a while, and then he was a little unwilling, and continued to ask.

"Not really. You also know that the weather is cold these days, and although we have enough winter clothes in the morning, we are not afraid of the cold. However, because of the deep lonely, the consumption of grain and grass is very large, if it is not replenished in time, I am afraid that there will be a shortage of food next year. So you stand down and make sure that you don't have to worry about food and grass in the army. Wang Dechen commanded.

"Okay, I see. ”

Although Wang Liangchen accepted it, he was still dumbfounded.

Wang Dechen didn't care, but when he thought about the current situation in Sichuan and Shu, he took a letter again, but he waved it on it.

After summoning the messenger and asking him to deliver this letter to Meng Ge, Wang Dechen breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the direction of the Sword Pavilion with a concentrated gaze, and said secretly: "I hope that I can successfully capture Diaoyu City before this winter is over." Otherwise, when the Red Phoenix Army goes south, I'm afraid that our army will be bad. ”

Although he didn't know why the Red Phoenix Army had not moved south for a long time, he was also faintly aware of Xiao Feng's thoughts, and knew that the other party was just waiting for an appropriate time.

And if that timing is revealed, the pair will be like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, biting its fangs full of poison directly into the deadly place, and then completely killing the other party.
