Folding the halberd to seal the cold

Tianbao 15 years, the first day of the first month.

Although it is the New Year, there is obviously no sense of festivities in the new year ushered in the flames of war.

Because on this day, An Lushan finally officially proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang, proclaiming himself the "Emperor of Great Yan" and his reign title "Shengwu".

He shamelessly encloses the entire Luoyang city in his own territory, looks down on the royal land Central Plains, no longer pays attention to the Li and Tang royal family, and grabs Luoyang as the capital.

And the people in Luoyang City were driven out of the city by those Huren Spikes as early as after the city was broken, and lost their homes...or were displaced, or died of illness on the way to escape.

Under this shadow, this new year... will never again be filled with the atmosphere of harmony and reunion.

The north wind howled, and the heavy snow of goose feathers all over the sky fell profusely between the sky and the earth, making people's cheeks cold from the cold.

Shen Luzhi poked the stove in the military tent with a copper hook, and tightened the gray cloak on his body again, still feeling a little cold.

Although he suffered from physical fear of cold since he was a child, he was able to resist the winter cold because he later went to Changgemen to learn inner skills and mental methods.Unexpectedly, following the march to the north this time, the weather was extremely cold, and he was injured in the first battle a few days ago, and he went to the battlefield to continue commanding before the wound healed, so it is inevitable that it is a bit hard to support at this moment.

Shen Luzhi's brows were cold, but he didn't take such hard work seriously.

After all... Compared with the predicament that the army is currently in, these difficulties of his own are nothing at all.

It has been snowing for seven days...

Half a month after Ye Feng left, they led the newly reorganized militia rebel army to fight against the Spike Army at the foot of Changshan Mountain again. Given the already inferior number of people, the rebel army's team was mixed with people from various sects Among them, there is full support, but after all, more of them are civilian volunteers with insufficient force.

How easy is it to march and fight?

Even if they all come out with one man as the master of the martial arts, what if they are brave martial arts masters, they will still suffer from the huge disparity in the number of people.

What's more, winning or losing has never depended on the number of people.

How to command these rebels gathered together in a short period of time, so that they who have not received intensive training can quickly grow up during this period of time and become an invincible team is a very difficult task in itself.Because there are a thousand people, there will be a thousand kinds of troubles, let alone a teacher of ten thousand people.

The materials of the army, the speed of marching, the influence of terrain and weather, and how to formulate reasonable and favorable tactics... Let thousands of people advance and retreat like one person, and attack wherever they point...all of which are extremely severe tests for the commander.

Although Shen Luzhi has experience as the commander-in-chief of the Haoqi League, the soldiers of the Haoqi League are also well-trained, which can only be achieved by their day-to-day practice.But now... to command these rebels who are temporarily formed together, they have to take into account their different qualities, and they cannot be treated equally.

In such a windy and snowy day, ordinary people do not have enough materials to keep out the cold, so it is difficult for them who have practiced martial arts internal strength to adjust their breathing to resist the severe cold.

So the footsteps of the army had to be stopped.

Shen Luzhi also had to consider re-dividing into two parts to form the formation.

Since senior Yan Zhenqing pinned his hope on Haoqi, he had to face the difficulties as the commander-in-chief.

It's a pity...Hate only hate, the enemy army is too cunning.

They saw that the formation of the rebel army was scattered and hasty, and they chased and fought fiercely without giving them a chance to breathe.A few days ago, the Yi army camp was suddenly attacked by the Spike Army. Shen Luzhi and Qin Yue led the army to resist in a hurry, but they still suffered heavy losses.

Because the army has been starving and freezing at the foot of Changshan Mountain for several days, and the supplies have not yet arrived... Compared with the well-equipped Spike Army sitting in Luoyang City, they are naturally far behind.

It is not suitable to march in windy and snowy days, so we have to stay and garrison.

Who would have thought that Spike Fang was treacherous and would sneak attack at this time?

His experience is obviously still a little too shallow...

Shen Luzhi closed his eyes, but he could still think of those soldiers who died without a place to bury them.

With howling wind and snow and ice, those bodies will eventually be buried.

Under the snow-capped wasteland, how many bones are frozen, and who will mourn for them...

Shen Luzhi didn't dare to think about it.

These days, he often even felt that the so-called destiny was extremely ridiculous.

If the heavens had eyes, they shouldn't have helped the traitors... If the snow doesn't stop, I really don't know how long they can last.

Shen Luzhi glanced at Qin Yue who was lying on the meadow recuperating and taking a nap, the worry between his brows turned into a sigh on his lips.

It was during the surprise battle a few days ago that Qin Yue desperately protected them, so he was accidentally cut with two shoulder wounds... Each of which was deeply visible.

Originally, his body was fine, but because of the lack of medicinal materials, Qin Yue insisted on distributing the medicine to other people first, which delayed the healing.In this cold winter day, he was groggy and had a high fever.But he gritted his teeth and persisted, trying to save some medicines with himself.

At least... their physical fitness is not bad.In this difficult time, military supplies should still be given up to those who need them more.

He stretched out his frozen fingers to touch Qin Yue's wrist. Fortunately... Qin Yue's pulse is still stable at the moment.

However, it was such a small movement that Qin Yue suddenly opened his eyes and woke up keenly.

"Lun Zhi...? Is there any abnormality in the enemy today?"

"It's okay for the time being. You lie flat and rest for a while, don't move the wound." Shen Lvzhi sighed, pressed down his body that was about to sit up, and said worriedly: "The application on your shoulder is the last herbal medicine. Now that the snow has not stopped, even if Mr. Du and the others go out to search for herbs despite the severe cold and danger, they will find nothing. If there is still time to buy, try to heal your wounds as much as possible, and don't cause any unnecessary waste. "

Qin Yue furrowed his brows deeply, and couldn't help feeling sad again when he heard the sound of the wind and snow outside.He had no choice but to listen to Shen Luzhi's advice and continue to lean on the meadow behind him, and he also cared about him: "Don't just talk about me, your arrow wound is not serious. I remember that you are also from the south of the Yangtze River, and you are not used to the severe cold and harsh environment." The weather. This time the injury is serious, in order to force yourself to recover as soon as possible, you forcibly consumed so much internal energy to protect your body... It should be very difficult to support it. Lu Zhi, don't force yourself too much."

Qin Yue noticed that Shen Luzhi was more dependent on being close to the stove than a few days ago, which means... the chills in his body should have flared up again.

Shen Lvzhi's fingertips froze, but he changed the subject calmly: "It's okay. Compared with these, I am more concerned about how many days until the reserve army rations arrive... No matter how frugal we are now, we will soon I can't hold it anymore."

Qin Yue is not worried about this matter.

"Thinking that today is the first day of the new year, but everyone can't even eat well...it makes me feel uneasy."

"new year……"

Qin Yue seemed to have thought of something and fell into deep thought.

His eyes passed through the thick military tent, and he was looking at some unknown distance.

It has been almost a month since Ye Feng left him.

In this short month, it was so long that it was like a difficult century for Qin Yue.

I don't know if he reached the Valley of the Wicked safely, where he is, how he is now...whether he will meet the enemy in a place he can't see, whether there will be any accidents, but he still Do not know at all.

There was an uncontrollable sore pain in Qin Yue's heart.

There's not a single... word about him.

If things had gone smoothly, Ye Feng would have brought people from the Valley of the Wicked to meet them as early as a few days ago.

What's the situation with him?

This was nearly a month, almost the longest time they had been away from each other since they were together.

Qin Yue's longing has been growing without bounds.

While he was working hard to help Shen Luzhi fight against the enemy, he was worried about Ye Feng's safety.

If the separation was not a last resort, he would never choose to let go of Ye Feng in his life.

Not to mention the troubled times, even if the present world is stable, the new year without him by his side... How is it different from the days of suffering every day in the past.

Qin Yue closed his eyes, his brows trembling slightly.

Ye Feng... When will you come back?

Thinking of him like this, Qin Yue fell asleep again in a daze.

Seeing that he had fallen asleep again, Shen Lvzhi calmed down a little, and helped him turn up the fire beside him, and then turned around and left the tent.

The snowflakes all over the sky were mixed with the biting cold wind, and Shen Lvzhi suddenly took a breath of cool air, and there was an uncomfortable pain in his heart and lungs. He tried his best to suppress the sound of coughing, and pressed the back of his hand to his lips to endure live.

Right now, he still has to go to each camp to see how everyone is in good health...

You must hold back, don't let them know that your injury has not healed, and the cold invaded your lungs.

He is the hope that everyone relies on...he is the commander-in-chief, and everyone's morale must not be shaken by injuries.

However, the cold wind penetrated into his lungs inch by inch, and he tried his best to suppress it, but he still couldn't help coughing——

Suddenly someone helped him from behind, a warm palm pressed against his back, slowly injecting a warm inner force into his body.

This is……

Shen Lvzhi turned his head, and bumped into a pair of cold, clear but worried eyes.
