The north wind swept the white grass and folded, and the snow flew in August.

In the north of the Han realm, there has been a heavy snowfall, and so far, it has been a full seven days.

On the vast field, the white expanse is like a new plain ice and snow world.

The snow fell suddenly and without warning.

There are rumors in the army that this is because God deliberately sent down Ruixue to block the Xianbei people from going south in order to protect the Han Dynasty.

At that time, people, from the royal family to the common people, all believed in ghosts and gods.

As a result, the soldiers in the army have some thoughts, since God is helping them, why should they be discouraged.

As a result, the soldiers regained their confidence and prepared to fight the Xianbei thieves again.

On the Yinshan Mountains across the northern border, the road is rugged, and more than a dozen figures are braving the wind and snow, taking difficult steps forward, leaving a series of half-foot-deep footprints buried in the snow.

"Sir, slow down, come, I'll pull you ......" At a scumbag, Lu Bu stretched out his palm to Xi Ce behind him.

Cao Xing, who fell in the rear, caught a glimpse of this scene, grabbed a handful of ice and snow and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then spit it out, and snorted with dissatisfaction: "Surveying the terrain is what we do, he is a weak scholar, and he is a weak scholar, so let's see how long he has walked, and then he has gone." ”

"Cao Xing, Mr. naturally has his reasons for coming, but you, who have never been able to spit out ivory from a dog's mouth." Wei Musheng took a break from the wooden stick in his hand, laughed and joked.

The road up the mountain was already difficult, and this time it snowed heavily, which added a bit of danger.

"Gao Shun, you said that we can have a few chances of winning this battle." Xi Ce climbed up the ladder with his strength, and asked the solemn man beside him with a slight breath.

"Less than one percent."

Gao Shun, who climbed up, didn't think much about it, and gave the answer.

Although this heavy snow came in time and successfully blocked the southward movement of the Xianbei people, it was only for a while after all. After this blizzard, they still have a battle with the Xianbei people.

At the same time, the harsh climate brought by the blizzard not only made the Xianbei people complain, but also the soldiers of the Han army also suffered from it, a large number of soldiers were frostbitten by the severe cold, and the firewood they picked up was cold outside and wet inside, making it difficult to make a fire.

The soldiers were almost sourcing snow while nibbling on the cold wheat cakes to satisfy their hunger.

In such a harsh environment, it is endurance to fight, and it is more difficult to compete with who is more persevering and can hold on to the hard breath in the chest.

While sitting and resting, Gao Shun frowned, as if he was thinking: "It would be good if I could think of a way to cut off the food and grass of the Xianbei people." ”

Budugen has an army of more than 100,000, and the daily consumption is a huge amount. Once the food is cut off, I believe that if we can't hold out for a few days, we will retreat without a fight.

Wrapped the padded jacket on his body vigorously, Xi Ce stood up, and the ten fingers of his hands were as thick as tiny radishes.

Picking up the pestle stick that Lu Bu had made for him, he moved forward slowly, even if there was only a little hope for this trip, he had to give it a try.

…………

It was already night.

Hou Cheng, who stayed behind in Chengyi, saw Lu Bu returning, walked forward quickly, and said in a low voice: "General, the imperial court has sent someone down to announce the decree, and he is waiting for the general in the lobby of Wubao. ”

Lu Bu said, 'I know', took off the cloak on his body and handed it to Chen Wei to hold, and went to the lobby where the envoy was alone.

Seeing Lu Bu come in, the Huangmen waiter who was in charge of announcing the decree put down the green fruit in his hand, got up and cleared his throat, took out the edict from his arms, and shouted solemnly: "Lu Bu, take the order." ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately bowed down and hugged his fists.

Xu Xie, the squire of the Yellow Gate, recited again: "His Majesty the Emperor: General Lu Bu, Mingwei, has made many military exploits, and I also know that he is loyal and ......brave."

Xu Xie, who announced the decree, read it very loudly, to the effect that His Majesty the Son of Heaven made an exception to use Lu Bu as the commander, led the three armies, and gave the Son of Heaven a sword, and those in the army who were not satisfied could be killed.

Lu Bu stood in place in a daze, Rao is life and death line traveled several times, and he couldn't believe the edict of the Son of Heaven that he heard with his own ears for a while.

During this trip, there were many generals who were more famous and had a better family background than him.

And His Majesty the Emperor would actually use him, a little-known little person, as a handsome, and also gave the Sword of the Son of Heaven to order the three armies.

In this situation, Lu Bu's heart was moved by the feeling of 'death for the confidant'.

"General Lu, don't be stunned, take the order." Xu Xie closed the edict in his hand and handed it to Lu Bu.

"The last general will take the order, thank God."

Lu Bu lifted his battle armor, knelt on the ground, held up the edict with both hands, and shouted 'Your Majesty Qianqiu'.

When Lu Bu got up, Xu Xie said to the attendant outside the door, "Bring all the things." ”

The four prison guards waiting at the door walked into the hall one by one, each holding a different object in their hands.

Lu Bu's eyes jumped with excitement, and he looked at those objects with a burning eye. In addition to the weapons in his hands and the strong war horse under the crotch, the most important thing for a military general is the armor outfit.

"Come on, change it for General Lu." Xu Xie commanded.

The attendants who accompanied him stepped forward to widen Lu Bu's robe and put the black and cold armor on Lu Bu's body.

"This is the Black Yi Armor, the beast's face swallows the head, forged from fine armor, and it is a tribute treasure from the Western Regions Kingdom to Your Majesty."

After changing into battle armor, several attendants tied belts and crowned Lu Bu again.

"This is a three-pronged purple and gold crown with a bundle of hair, a delicate lion belt, and a jade brocade Jiao reckless boots......"

Xu Xie introduced the origin of these treasures one by one, such as several family treasures.

After Lu Bu finished dressing, Xu Xie, who was born as a civil official, couldn't help but shine in his eyes: Hey, what a heroic and powerful general.

Subsequently, Xu Xie recruited two more people from outside the door.

Both of them are dressed as military generals and wear general armor.

The man on the left has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face and a high forehead, and his calm bearing is somewhat similar to Gao Shun; The man on the right, who was about a few years older than Lu Bu, had a murderous look in his eyes, and his whole body exuded a rebellious aura.

After receiving Xu Xie's signal, the two hugged their fists towards Lu Bu and put their names on them: "The last general Xu Rong (Li Dao), see general." ”

The 15,000 soldiers and horses sent by the Son of Heaven to Lu Bu were the 5,000 Sili Jingcai led by Xu Rong and the 10,000 Hedong infantry led by Li Dao.

After resting for one night, Lu Bu personally sent Xu Xie out of Wubao, and sent more than 100 armored cavalry to escort him across the river.

Sending off the imperial court envoys, Cao Xing was the first to rush to Lu Bu, touch it here, touch it there, and admired it in his mouth: "Boss, you are so handsome." ”

"General, mighty! Mighty! All the soldiers around them shouted.

"The momentum is there, but the only fly in the ointment is that there is a shirt missing." Xi Ce narrowed his eyes and smiled playfully.

Originally, Lu Bu had 20,000 soldiers under his command, and now with the 15,000 sent by the imperial court, although it is still a lot worse, it still has the strength to fight.

At noon, Wei Musheng, who was patrolling the camp, led a Qingyi man and walked into Wubao and came to Lu Bu, "General, look who is coming!" ”

Lu Bu, who was discussing with the joke, moved his gaze to the man, suddenly stepped forward, and said in surprise: "Fourth brother, why are you here?" ”

"Brother-in-law, long time no see!"

Looking at the commander of the three armies in front of him, who is now the lord of the Northern Expedition, the young man smiled gently, took out a volume of documents from his sleeve robe, and handed it to Lu Bu, "I heard that you sent people here, so I brought some people over, and the repeat prisoners on death row, and the soldiers of the family and the family are all here." The old general said that this time, even if he tried his best to merge the state, he would vow to fight the Xianbei people to the death. ”

"Thanks, fourth brother."

Lu Bu's eyes were red, and the excitement in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time, the old general was pressing the entire state on him Lu Bu alone.

"Oh yes, I have one more thing for you." Yan Xin smiled mysteriously and took out an ink-colored brocade robe from the package.

The back of the robe was embroidered with a bright moon and dotted with scattered white snowflakes. Under the bright moonlight, there were countless soldiers hurrying at night, and the general who led the way, riding a red horse and holding a halberd.

Looking at this delicate embroiderer, Lu Bu seemed to think of something at this moment.

He eagerly turned over the battle robe, and sure enough, there were a few lines of beautiful small characters embroidered on the inside of the robe.

I heard that the snowflakes bloomed outside the plug,

Blowing all night, it is difficult to walk;

The concubine weaves a bright moonlight,

Willing to be Jun Sinan.
