The wind in the north usually blows close to the ground. This kind of wind can easily get in through the trouser legs and under the clothes.
In just a moment, it can chill people all over their body.
A thin layer of snow covered the withered grass, and groups of war horses were diligently grazing despite the wind and snow. The hard grass that was dismissed in summer and autumn became delicious at this time.
After all, grass that requires hard work to break through the ice and snow is always extra sweet.
In the distance, you can vaguely see the smoke starting to rise in the small village. Winter is a rare time of leisure for these ordinary people.
Wang Yu stayed outside the tent for a while and then returned to the tent, not because of the cold, but because seeing more of such scenes would slowly melt his newly frozen heart.
This is not a good phenomenon. It is the behavior of heroes to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
Wang Yu understands this sentence more thoroughly than most people. No matter in the past life or in this life, a pure person is always closer to the goal he wants.
Of course, those who can be successful while taking into account both emotions, reason and law, Wang Yu usually calls him a god!
Wang Yu didn't know whether such a god existed, but at least, he was not such a god, and he did not have the ability to become such a god.
"Lord, we will reach Hebei Road in three days!" Dian Wei, who followed him into the tent, exhaled a breath of white air.
"Generals Wen Zhong, Meng Wu, and Meng Tian should also set off, right?" Wang Yu used a wooden stick to pick up the brazier in the big tent, causing the temperature in the big tent to rise a little again.
The winter snowfall in Da Cang this year has been particularly severe, and many places have even suffered snow disasters, making the people who were already suffering from war even more miserable.
However, it is precisely because this winter snow is particularly severe that the war within Da Cang has begun to ease. Various battlefields have entered a truce period. The originally war-torn Da Cang has found a rare tranquility.
In ancient times, fighting in winter was not uncommon. After all, there is rarely a shortage of food and grass in winter, because winter is after autumn, and after the autumn harvest, food and grass are put into the warehouse, so there is no need to worry about the biggest problem of food and grass for sending troops.
However, the continuous heavy snowfall has made this winter extremely cold.
"The general's horns and bows cannot be controlled, and the guards' iron coats are cold and cold." This frontier fortress poem from the Tang Dynasty reflects the situation of soldiers in severe cold weather.
In this kind of heavy snow weather, if we force a battle, it is really possible that what is described in "Diaogu Battle Text" will appear: "The snow is as thick as the shins, and the ice is firm on the beards. The silk thread has no temperature, and the fingers will fall and the skin will be cracked." Such a situation.
For example, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, attacked the Huns in the north, but he fell into the Huns' trick of luring the enemy. "It was so cold that the soldiers' fingers dropped, and even two or three of them dropped their fingers." ("Historical Records of the Great Ancestor")
In addition, there is also "(Zhang) Yongzheng marched into Pengcheng. When encountering cold and snow, soldiers' shins were frozen and broken, and their toes were all broken." ("Book of Southern Qi·Biography of Zhang Chong") "The armies were fleeing in search of each other. When encountering heavy cold and snow, two-thirds of the soldiers froze to death and lost their limbs." ("Book of Wei·Biography of Lu Xuan")
When fighting in severe cold weather, the combat effectiveness of the army will naturally be greatly reduced. Even if the fingers are not frozen, they will also lose combat effectiveness because they cannot hold the weapon. Similar battles did occur in history. In 1232 AD, Meng and Jin fought in the Sanfeng Mountain area of Junzhou. At this time, it snowed heavily, and the Jin Kingdom's most elite Zhongxiao Army was "unable to lift their swords due to the freezing cold" and was defeated. ….
Therefore, under successive heavy snowfalls, all parties tacitly chose to stop fighting and recuperate, preparing to fight again in the coming spring.
And this winter snow also disrupted too many original plans.
"My lord, the letter arrived two days ago, and now several generals must be on their way!"
"That's fine! Yannan Road will be handed over to the generals!" Wang Yu said with a slight smile.
The winter truce is, however, a preparation for another preparation for war after the coming spring. Therefore, although it is a truce, in fact, it is impossible for all parties to really relax.
For example, Huangfu Mingze prepared to expand his troops at this time, and expected to increase his troops by 40,000. In this way, excluding Xun Yu's Xuanping troops, Hebei Province's troops would soon reach 80,000.
And Huangfu Mingze is also preparing to truly build a military force of his own at this time, and truly have his own strength. Only then can Huangfu Mingze, the emperor, be truly stable.
However, how could Wang Yu agree to this matter? If Huangfu Mingze really had his own troops, that would be great!
Therefore, under Xiao He's suggestion, Wang Yu was full of aggression in the court during this period, and his aggression towards the army that was about to be formed was nakedly displayed.
Wang Yu almost made it clear in the court that the few people under Huangfu Mingze were just rotten fish and shrimps, and handing over tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to them was just a waste of tens of thousands of troops, and it was impossible to train a strong force that could win the war. soldiers.
Although Huangfu Mingze's men looked ugly, they still had to endure it. Compared with Wang Yu's men who were proven warriors on the battlefield, they were indeed difficult to trust.
As for generals, a fight is the best way. However, Guan Yu's strength is there, and their fists are not strong enough.
Huangfu Mingze was unwilling to give up this army, and Wang Yu also tried to compete for military power. The two sides were at loggerheads for a while. Huangfu Mingze couldn't find a few generals who were convincing enough, and he was unwilling to directly engage Wang Yu at this time. The last resort was to compromise!
However, Huangfu Mingze could not really hand over all these military powers to Wang Yu, and could only pull out the Liangshan Clan again.
Although his men could not produce qualified generals, Chang Yuchun still had a certain reputation in Yannan Road, so the important task of reorganizing the army could only be left to Chang Yuchun's hands.
Under Chang Yuchun, Huangfu Mingze and Wang Yu each sent several generals to assist Chang Yuchun in reorganizing his troops.
After that, Huangfu Mingze transferred Wang Yu out on the grounds that he was based in Hebei, and deliberately sent Wang Yu away. In this way, in Wang Yu's absence, Huangfu Mingze thought that the next few people under him would The competition for military power will give you an advantage.
By this time, Xiao He's plan had been achieved, so Wang Yu found a step and came down naturally. After all, they had achieved their goal.
Under Xiao He's calculation, Wang Yu had already attracted all Huangfu Mingze's firepower, and forced Huangfu Mingze to "willingly" help Chang Yuchun to that position, and then cooperated with the man Wang Yu was going to send there. Wang Yu didn't think they could beat those rotten fish and shrimps.
Without Xinheng Heroes and Zhao Xuanwu, Huangfu Mingze would not be able to produce any worthy generals.
