Chapter 116 Wind and Snow Military Journey

Huan Xuan was stunned. He looked back at Xiaoci and blinked his eyes and said, "So many eyeballs fell to the ground. It's really spectacular. Damn girl, I just said before the expedition, and I didn't say I wouldn't come back. How nervous are you!"

"That can't be said. Madam, you have stayed in the palace for at least half a year. Don't you know how much taboos are in the palace. It's taboos, but some of them really have to pay attention, especially those unlucky words. You may respond when you say it. Oh, I'm going to say all the unlucky!"

Huan Ying said with a smile, "Okay, okay, don't talk about it, Xiaoci, go to Lu Zisong's mother's side and see if there is anything to clean up and prepare. You can help. Mrs. Lu is old. Lu is not as neat as you. Lu Zisong is busy preparing for the expedition. He must not be able to take care of it."

"Oi, I'll go now!" Xiaoci answered and turned to leave. She took a step, but stopped again.

"What's the matter, Xiaoci?" He asked in surprise.

"We... When will we leave? If Mrs. Lu asks, how should I answer?"

"On the day of the first snowfall, you can go on your way," Huan said happily, "When the snow stops, it's time for us to go on an expedition."

Xiaoci nodded silently and went straight out of the big account.

Huanying looked at Xiaoci's back and looked back at himself in the bronze mirror. He was sad and said, "Fanghua Jialing, but I have to live in the war. Is this my life? Nie Kong, will the heavy snow you predicted happen?

Linzhou Baishuidu.

The climate somehow, as expected by Nie Kong, suddenly turned cold. From the middle of the night, the white water ferry began to snow one after another. The extreme cooling made the white water ferry river with a thin layer of ice, but this kind of ice can't be passed at all.

In the scene of the fifth watch, the snow was getting bigger and bigger, and the white water under the snowflakes were like the day, reflecting the light and shadow of the river, like an isolated fairyland. However, Nie Kong did not want to appreciate the snowy night ferry. He led 8,000 elite soldiers and fast horses, braved the bitter cold before dawn, and took the lead in boarding the boat and Wooden row, but if you look carefully, half of the 8,000 people have changed into the armor of the original Baishuidu guards.

Nie Kong told Xu Chenglin in the bow of the ship, and then said goodbye to the left-behind generals one by one. The vast boat and wooden row quickly sailed away from the ferry. When Yan Bei heard the news, there was no half shadow of Nie Kong in the whole ferry.

Yan Don angrily complained with Xu Chenglin, who was still standing by the ferry and staring into the distance, "What's wrong with you, Marshal Nie? What kind of war do you want to fight, when do you want to fight, and how to fight it is all hidden from us? Is this still Wu Wei's allied army? If the coach of Nie can't trust us, then I will turn around and tell the details to the king of Wu. From then on, the two families have their own paths and cross their own bridges. Why bother to be hung aside here and swallowed angrily and be ignored!"

Xu Chenglin smiled and said with a smile on his face, "General Yan, don't be impatient. I'm afraid you don't have time to report to the King of Wu for the time being. When it's dawn, you and I will each take action to respond to Commander Nie. I don't know that the general will now explain the whole battle plan to General Yan. General Yan is willing to explain it with our guard. In the past, do you have the same enemy?

Yan Beihu glanced at Xu Chenglin and sneered, "Well, is it too late to say it now?"

"It's not too late!" Xu Chenglin said, "Even if 8,000 elite soldiers can break through the Suzhou Tower by chance, it is impossible to control Suzhou City steadily. So what we have to do next is the top priority in the whole plan. Whether we can successfully capture Suzhou, and whether we can cut off the threats of the four states of Jing, He, Pu and Lin one by one, that's all!"

Yan Don't think about it and said arrogantly, "It was too risky to seize Suzhou, but your commander-in-chief Nie was stubborn. He didn't discuss with our army, but he was afraid of hearing other people's criticisms, so he pretended to be mysterious. He wanted to take Suzhou by concealment means. Humph, when he was surrounded by the forces of the four states, he was only afraid that I would be strict. If you want to help, it's just a cup of water to put out the fire!"

"Thank you, General Yan!" Xu Chenglin said with a smile, "As long as General Yan has the intention to help, General Yan will stand up to the sky. I believe he will never keep his promise!"

Don't be stunned. He immediately understood that his casual words were pinched by others. He couldn't help saying, "Don't thank me first. Say what do you want our army to do? I can talk to you first and ask me to take my brothers to death. I will never do it!"

"What is General Yan saying? General Yan represents the Wu army, and there is the support of the king of Wu behind him. No matter how reckless and ignorant our guard is, it is impossible for General Wu to die in vain!" Xu Chenglin said politely, but a trace of contempt inevitably appeared in his heart. When the guard rushed forward, General Yan was busy tampering behind his back. How could it be his turn to contribute?

Xu Chenglin then raised his hand and greeted Yan Bie, signaling him to approach him. "Our Commander Nie ordered before leaving, so that General Yan must..." Xu Chenglin whispered beside Yan Bie. Yan Bie listened carefully and did not say a word. When Xu Chenglin finished speaking, Yan Bie said half-heartedly, "Is it possible?"

Xu Chenglin nodded with a smile and said goodbye, "It's not difficult. I promise you to finish it. General Xu, I'm ready to go now?"

Xu Chenglin held his fist, "There is General Lao Yan!"

He turned around, looked at the cold water waves, and looked at the snow all over the sky. He waved his hand, and a armor leaned forward, "General?"

"An hour later, the second group of people will be on the ship immediately!" Xu Chenglin said in a low voice.

"Ouch, yes!"

The dark river is blocked and difficult to travel. It needs to support one side and break the ice at the other. Therefore, it is slower than Nie Kong's original expectation. All the armor, whether on the ship or on the wooden row, have to rotate the support and palm lights. Half an hour is a round. Even Nie Kong personally stops at the bow of the ship and picks up lanterns to patrol the river. So slowly, the sky is finally getting brighter.

The boat was sailing in the snow, especially cold. Everyone's face and hands were red and swollen with cold, and their feet had to keep moving to feel their existence. After extinguishing all the lanterns, Nie Kong ordered people to put out all the lanterns on the side of the boat and encouraged the soldiers to work harder and rush to the upstream of Pingzhou as soon as possible. Fortunately, he had long been prepared for changes on the road. Therefore, they set off early, so that as long as the snow does not stop, they will definitely succeed in the surprise attack.

After more than two hours, the fleet arrived at Pingzhou. Pingzhou is a wetland beach with a radius of dozens of miles on the land shore. The whole beach is covered with pebbles. In addition to the dead trees with different heights and five or five clusters, there are barren reeds and wormwood, because the beach is shallow. It is not suitable for berthing, and it is not suitable for human habitation. Therefore, dozens of miles of land has been abandoned for so many years. Occasionally, fishing boats pass by. It is also the time when the aquatic products are abundant. At this moment, it is cold, and there are still half a figure on the white beach, so Nie Kong is not worried that the berthing of the army will be exposed.

The sails of the boat and the wooden row were shallow, but because they carried horses and were still a few feet away from the beach, they ran aground one after another. Nie Kong ordered all the soldiers to brave the bitter cold of the river, get into the water, and to drag the wooden boats and rafts to the shore, so as not to prevent the backers from coming ashore.

When it stopped, the snow seemed to be smaller, but the empty beach, the cold wind was especially unimpeded. Nie Kong let everyone take their own wine bags and drink to keep warm to resist the wind and cold. After pouring a few mouthfuls of spirits, I don't know whether the wine is really strong and effective or psychologically. In short, I feel that the whole body is dry and hot. The already frozen body seemed to have regained its physical strength. Taking advantage of this strand of wine, Nie Kong ordered all the soldiers to go to the whole team and prepare to cross the river beach to Yongshan.

The generals in the imperial uniform and the five soldiers in the armor of the guard are mixed with each other. If you don't get close to each other in the wind and snow, you can hardly tell whether this is the army of the court or the guard. The group of people quickly whipped and rushed to the road. They only took a rest in Yongshan and used their own dry food. Go straight to the direction of Suzhou.

When there were more than 50 miles away from Suzhou City, it was already the middle of the hour. The sky was dark again, and the wind and snow were tighter than the day. In order to avoid the attention of the lights and attracting the enemy, eight thousand horses could only touch the dark and rush to the road. The suburbs of Suzhou was the remnants of the Yongshan Mountain. The terrain was rugged and undulating, and there were few households, so the speed of the army was obviously slow. Come down.

After walking for a while, Nie Kong stopped at a slope and took out the topographic map from his arms. On both sides were busy lighting the fire, lighting up the wind lamp, and helping to open the terrain map. Nie Kong was bright with the light of the wind lamp, determined their current position on the map, and decisively ordered the whole army to disarm and look for the back. Wait for the next step.

Nie Kong is very clear that after passing the remnants of Yongshan Mountain, it is Pingchuan, which is 30 miles away, and now is by no means the best time to go straight to Suzhou City. He has to wait for a bigger wind and snow tonight.

Eight thousand people scattered to rest. Except for their cloaks, they can hardly resist the wind and snow. However, when they think of the upcoming battle, they are all nervous and mixed with excitement. Although the wind and snow are tight for a while, there is still no one to complain. They can't catch fire to warm up, so they drink it from time to time. The spirits in the small skin, or walking back and forth and moving in the open ground, in this way, Nie Kong and others survived.

It had snowed heavily on Zi Shitian, and the fluttering snowflakes on his cheeks made people unable to open their eyes. Nie Kong knew that the time he was waiting for was really coming. He let the soldiers in the imperial uniforms line up in front. After the 4,000 guards were cut off, he took the lead and pulled out his long sword straight to the sky, in the wind and snow. He roared, "Brothers, the time has come. We have been hungry and cold for hundreds of miles, just to take Suzhou. Now Suzhou is in front of us. Let's go with me and take Suzhou!"

"Take Suzhou!" Eight thousand horses plowed the ground with their own weapons and roared loudly, "The guard will win, and the guard will win!"
