Uncle, I didn't mean to tease you

Liu An said that he wanted to ask someone to ask, and sure enough, the next day, he called the chief supervisor of the Tiantai of Xiliao Division, and asked about the upcoming weather changes in Xiliao.

Si Tiantai's calculation of the weather changes can only have an approximate time, not a specific day, but Liu An doesn't seem to care about the details, and just let the Si Tianjian calculate with confidence, don't have any scruples.

The other party said that he had to watch the sky at night, so he left that day, and came to Liu An the next day to inform Si Tiantai before he calculated the result.Xiliao will be sunny for the next ten or so days, and there may be a heavy snowfall in about half a month, and the heavy snow will fall for several days in a row.

Yang Zheng didn't fully trust the people in Xiliao, so he sent someone to Dongliao to ask the same question, and the answers he got were almost the same, so he gave up.

"Now can you talk about your solution?" Yang Zheng asked.

Liu An smiled and said, "Wait."

Yang Zheng was a little disappointed when he heard the words, and said, "Aren't we just waiting now? If we wait until the day of heavy snow, won't we be more passive?"

"We can't take the initiative right now, but thousands of us will stay in Xiliao to work. Anyway, the food and grass are supplied by Xiliao, which saves us a lot of money." Liu An said.

Yang Zheng was still puzzled, and Liu An said again: "Think about it, they are mercenaries, and the boss pays them to fight. The longer it takes, the more money the people who hire them will spend."

Yang Zheng felt reasonable when he heard the words, but felt that something was wrong, so he asked, "Then why are you asking about the snow?"

"Of course it is useful, but before that, we don't have to be idle." Liu An said: "Didn't you learn to ski on the way back from Chizhou? Now it just comes in handy!"

Yang Zheng thought for a while when he heard the words, but he somewhat guessed what Liu An was thinking.

"You want to..." Yang Zheng asked.

Liu An hastily made a silent gesture, and said: "General Yang knows it in his heart, don't mention this matter to others, so as not to cause complications."

From that day onwards, Yang Zheng greeted the people of Xiliao, saying that the soldiers stayed in Xiliao and had no battle to fight, which was too boring, so he set up a place next to the barracks for the soldiers to exercise their muscles and bones .

The weather in Xiliao is cold, and there are no recreational activities in winter, so Yang Zheng asked someone to get snow to spread in the field, and then took people to practice skiing inside all day long.

Yang Zheng also found time to take Liu An to the market in Xiliao for a few times. There are Lao Jin's business partners who have been with him all year round, so it is not difficult to strike up a conversation.Yang Zheng spent money to find a few fur traders in the mountains, and sent someone to follow them to the mountains on the border of Xiliao.

In the blink of an eye, half a month is approaching, the weather that has been sunny and cold suddenly turned cloudy, and it snowed heavily that night.

Liu An and Yang Zheng were wrapped in cloaks and sat on the porch pillars to watch the snow. They saw large flakes of snow falling all over the sky, and after a while, a thick layer had accumulated on the ground.

"Have you chosen all the people?" Liu An asked.

"The first marching army selected 40 people, all of whom are comparable to me. When the time comes, one group will be the striker and the other will be the support. If everything goes well, the second group will not need to make a move." Yang Zheng said.

Liu An nodded and said: "If the people who follow the fur dealer into the mountain tomorrow can bring good news, they can do it that night. The snow should be enough for a day and a night."

Yang Zheng nodded and said, "Your method is really clever, but fortunately I tried my best to bring you here."

"Without me, you would have figured out a way, but I have never fought a war, so I have more strange ideas." Liu An said.

Yang Zheng smiled, turned his head to look at Daxue, and couldn't help but sigh.Liu An looked at him, and saw that there was no worry on his face, he probably wasn't thinking about tomorrow night.

"What is General Yang sighing?" Liu An asked.

"It's nothing, I just thought that after finishing the affairs here, I don't know what will happen when I go back." Yang Zheng said.

Hearing the words, Liu An knew that Yang Zheng was worried about Lu Sheng, so he asked, "No matter how willful Lu Sheng was before, he just lost his temper and forgot about it. Why did he refuse to reconcile with you after so long?"

"I don't know, and he won't tell me when I ask him." Yang Zheng said, "It's probably because he has grown up and has his own thoughts, but I can't figure it out either, and I don't know how to face him."

"So you don't want to take him this time because you want him to be alone and calm down?" Liu An said.Yang Zheng smiled wryly upon hearing this, and nodded.

He was more afraid that Jin Lusheng would not know how to get along with each other, maybe the relationship between the two would be more complicated than before.Moreover, when the two cannot reconcile, if they want to go to the battlefield, they will inevitably be distracted, which is not good for each other.

"Lu Sheng seems careless and doesn't care about anything, but he is actually a very affectionate person. Although I don't know why he has been angry with you for so long, one thing is for sure, he cares about you." Liu An said.

Yang Zheng was startled when he heard the words, and then said, "Yes, if he really hated me, he wouldn't bother me so much." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to feel around his neck. , containing the jade jade that Jin Lusheng gave him.

The heavy snow did not stop until the next morning. The snow on the ground was knee-deep, but it seemed that the snow had no intention of stopping for a while.

At noon, the people Yang Zheng sent to follow the fur dealer into the mountain came back.Several people looked very tired, presumably because they were afraid of delaying the opportunity, and hurried along the way without sleep.

After Yang Zheng asked one by one, his face showed joy, and together with Liu An, he summoned several other generals and agreed on the regulations very quickly.

Several other people didn't know the inside story beforehand, but after hearing about it suddenly, they all felt that although Liu An's method was dangerous, it was worth a try.

"General Yang, this method is too risky. I'll be the striker. You bring the second group of people to meet me." The accompanying general said.

But Yang Zheng waved his hand and said, "This time we have to win quickly. If we move too slowly and give the enemy a chance to react, we will fall short. In the entire barracks, I am the most proficient skier. I'm worried."

Everyone knew that what Yang Zheng said was reasonable, and they couldn't refute it.

"I will lead the people first, and I will retreat quickly after a successful blow. At that time, it will be up to you to collect the net." Yang Zheng said to the general: "Remember not to love fighting, they are all brave, even if they are in You still have to beware of the disadvantages, and you must retreat quickly no matter what the battle situation is after one blow."

The other party nodded solemnly upon hearing this.

More than half of all the Northern Expeditionary Army stationed in Xiliao that day received orders to recharge their batteries during the day to prepare for an attack that night.The rest of the people are still training as usual to deceive others.

As night fell, the snow gradually decreased, but there was still no tendency to stop.

In Beijiang camp, everything was quiet.

In a certain barracks, the boy was suddenly awakened by a nightmare, and he was in a cold sweat from fright.

The door was pushed open, and Jin Lusheng came out wearing a cloak. He went straight to Liu Jing's barracks, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the candles were still burning in the distance.

The young man lingered outside the door for a long time, as if hesitating whether he should go in or not.Later, He Qing happened to come over and ran into him, seeing that he was disturbed, he asked.

Jin Lusheng faltered for a while and asked, "I want to ask, is there any battle report from Xiliao? It's been so long, and I don't know what's going on?"

He Qing heard the words: "Wars can't be resolved in three or two days. It's only been more than half a month. There's nothing to worry about. Don't worry."

The young man responded, but his heart became more and more uneasy.

The snow seemed to be a little bigger than before. Jin Lusheng was walking in the snow, and his dream was full of blood-stained battlefields and someone's blood-stained body.In the dream, the man reached out to him and asked him why he didn't forgive himself.

Jin Lusheng really wanted to tell that person that he never blamed him, how could he forgive him.But before he could hold that hand in his dream, he was frightened awake.

The uneasiness and fear in the young man's heart were not at all comforted by He Qing's consolation, on the contrary, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.He walked outside Yang Zheng's room unknowingly, and subconsciously pushed the door open again.

The room was pitch black, with the smell of no one living in it for a long time, and it was extremely cold.Jin Lusheng sat on Yang Zheng's bed in the dark for a while, until his feet were almost numb from the cold, and then slowly left.

After a while, he took his bedding and moved back to Yang Zheng's residence.

On the other side of Linjiang, Yang Zheng led [-] vanguards and headed straight for the mercenary camp at night on snowboards.Even though the other party was hiding very deeply, Yang Zheng had already sent people to follow the fur dealer into the mountain and found out their whereabouts.

Now it is snowing heavily, and the mercenary camp is silent.Suddenly a big fire ignited on one side of the camp. After the dry pine branches were ignited, it burned very vigorously and burned several nearby camps in an instant.

Everyone stood up to fight the fire, and there were constant swearing in the dark night.

On the other side of the camp, Yang Zheng led his men straight to the stables. After knocking down the guarding soldiers, he cut off the reins of all the horses, opened the fence, and let the horses out.At first some horses were reluctant to leave, but when the stables were set up, the horses fled away.

The crowd didn't stay, and quickly fled the camp on snowboards and poles.The whole process took only two sticks of incense, and no one even saw the mercenaries clearly.

After the mercenaries discovered that the stables were on fire, it was still too late to stop them.Although the horse can't run fast in the heavy snow, manpower can't catch up.

In the vanguard led by Yang Zheng, there were no casualties in a group of 20 people.They were all wearing light military uniforms and white robes over their heads. From a distance, they blended into the heavy snow, making it impossible to tell them apart.

The 20 people who were waiting five miles away to meet them were all pleasantly surprised when they saw that they came back smoothly and knew that the matter was over.

Although the mercenaries are brave and good at fighting, they are best at horse fighting.Now that there is no horse, their cavalry is equivalent to losing their legs. If they really fight, they are not as good as ordinary soldiers.

The fire in the mercenary camp was quickly extinguished, but the stables were destroyed, and there was not even a single horse left.To make matters worse, the grain and grass they stored were also burned. I don't know whether the opponent was intentional or unintentional. In short, the battle was lost before it was fought.

The head coach of the mercenaries, Muli, stood beside the mess where the smoke had not cleared, with a gloomy expression on his face.The entourage at the side lowered their heads, not daring to look up at the coach, it seemed that they were terrified of him.

Although Muli does not have its own political power, it has been rampant on both sides of the Linhe River for many years, and it only recognizes money but not people.In these years, the number of dead souls under his knife is countless, and this is the first time he has suffered such a loss.

"No matter who did it, I will chop him up into a cripple with no hands or feet, and then keep him as a pet!" Mu Li gritted his teeth and said coldly.His eye sockets are slightly sunken, his eyebrows are sharp, his nose bridge is straight and straight, with a bit of alien features.

But on the whole, Muli can be regarded as handsome, but the scar on his brow adds a bit of cruelty to him, making people feel a strong sense of oppression at first sight.

Hearing the words, the relatives at the side shuddered, knowing that Muli was really angry this time, he seemed to be thinking of some "pets" that Muli had raised, and couldn't help pinching the people who angered Muli tonight. sweat.I don't know who is so short-sighted, and actually offended the person in front of me!

"Look for Master Wolf to investigate, I must know who did it!" Muli ordered.Wolf masters are similar to spies, but they do not participate in wars on weekdays, and are only responsible for scouting and delivering news.

Hearing this, he hurriedly turned around and left, as if he didn't want to stay by Muli's side for a moment.Looking at the messy camp, Muli's eyes became even more hostile.
