The days of winter are always fast, and it is the New Year in the blink of an eye.

The heavy snow, which had stopped for half a month, was flying again, the cold wind was blowing, the withered grass was trembling slightly, and everything was smashed.

"In winter, it's getting colder and colder." Yan Bei rubbed his hands and walked into the nearest pavilion outside Xiangping City, there was a bonfire lit in the hearth in the house, the temperature difference in the room made his eyes covered with a layer of mist in an instant, but the body that was almost frozen was a little comfortable, took off the heavy robe and sat on the couch and stretched out his red hands to roast the fire and kept opening and closing, relieving the paralysis of the limbs brought by the cold, and then he took the warm wine on the stove and poured a bowl, and said with emotion: "I remember the winter of the past few years, but it was not so cold. ”

Yan Dong was frozen to the same level, nodded and said: "No, when the snow just stopped a few days ago, the riders sent by Su Li to report the news froze to death on the road, and they relied on the horses of our Xuansu County to get to Xiangping alive. ”

"It's colder in the prairie too?" Yan Bei asked a question, and then nodded to himself and said: "Yes, the farther north you go, the colder it gets, and this year there are people who freeze to death south of the Great Wall from time to time, there is more snow, the weather is colder, and the grassland is more difficult to bear." What did Sully send for? ”

It was precisely because of this incident that Yanbei and Yandong went out of the city and came back from the north along the Da Liao River. This year, in Liaodong County, several cities in the northwest of Xiangping people were affected, and there were many things that happened when the ice and snow collapsed the houses and froze to death the people, especially the horse farm in the north, no one expected that the snow disaster would be so serious this year, the ice and snow blocked the road, and the horse farm froze to death more than 100 horses until the snow melted before the county government knew.

"In the autumn, Tian Zitai of Xuansu ordered more than 1,000 soldiers to go out of the fortress at the invitation of Su Li, and attacked the eastern Xianbei lord Micah outside the fortress, forcing him to move north for 200 miles, and Xuansu County got a lot of cattle, sheep and horses." Now Yandong is mostly clear about what is happening in the land of Youdong, and he said: "Suli has merged with four or five tribes in the Juma Water Basin, but this year is too cold, and even the grass on the grassland is frozen, so he wants to ask to move south and graze to the north of the Great Wall...... This is nothing more than a rhetoric, his people also froze to death in winter, and on the eve of the snow, their tribe sacrificed and celebrated, and many people drank too much wine and slept outside wrapped in skin, and the next day they were buried in the snow and dug up, and everyone was stiff. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Dong chuckled lightly and said, "Brother, I guess Su Li is afraid, worried that Micah will be driven south by the cold, and he will not dare to fight with Micah in winter." ”

"He wants to move south, he can." Su Li just wanted to move south to the northern border of Liaodong County, Yan Bei had no objection to this, but said to Yan Dong: "But you have to tell him that the Xianbei people can't disturb the livelihood of the people of Liaodong and Xuansu County, and let them graze outside the Saiwai as long as he doesn't cause trouble, don't be afraid of Miga." ”

If there was only one place in Liaodong before, Yanbei might still be a little jealous when it comes to the eastern part of Xianbei. But now, what is the Lord of Xianbei East? If you dare to come to Handi and Yanbei, you don't need to transfer troops, just protect Wuhuan Captain Xian Yuyin can clean him up!

Encouraging the Wuhuan people to go south to fight the Han people, maybe Yanbei needs to speak out to take advantage of it, but if they are told that the Xianbei people are coming to rob their pastures? The Wuhuan people can send tens of thousands of warriors to fight to their death!

Wuhuan and Xianbei are old enemies!

"Well, then I'll just send him a message." Yan Dong said that there was a county official beside him to write it down, Yan Bei nodded lightly and remembered something, and asked, "Have you asked about the affairs of Liaodong Academy these days?" ”

Yan Dong was drinking with a wine bowl, and when he heard Yan Bei cough twice, he was obviously choked, put down the wine bowl and pursed his lips and said: "Alas, my brother didn't ask me and I was about to talk about it, the literary style is not something that can be cultivated overnight, and those great Confucians in the academy also think so, and they are also willing to move to Jixian County." Liaodong produced warriors, but there were too few Confucian scholars, they did teach a few disciples in the past two years, but most of them still came out of the academy and joined the army, Mr. Genju also handed over the names of a few people, hoping that the elder brother could reuse them as appropriate. ”

"Huh? Take it for me to see. Yan Bei said, and the assistant official on the side took out a few pieces of slices from the box he was carrying behind him, and handed them to Yan Bei. Guo Xin, a native of Xiangping, is talented in literature and knows how to govern, and is greedy for alcohol; Sun Zong, who is carefree, likes to make friends and can be a lobbyist; Xiangping City Gate Captain Zhang Mill, there are brave soldiers to know the military; The military marquis of Liaodong County is humble and good at using soldiers...... Okay, these people will be transferred to Xiangping after the year, and there are gentlemen who are willing to go to Youzhou Academy to go to Jixian County with me to enrich the state capital. ”

In recent years, Liaodong Academy has taught many young people, but most of them have entered the county government or county government after a few years of study, which is also because they are not very good. Now that they can be recommended to Yanbei by Bing Yuan, they are obviously the most outstanding students in the academy, Yanbei doesn't mind giving them a chance, as long as they have real talent and real learning, Yanbei can guarantee that they are better than anyone else in the future.

As long as you are from Youzhou, it is right to follow Yanbei at this juncture!

No one had a good time in these years, the Yanbei brothers avoided the heaviest wind and snow in the pavilion, and the whistling wind outside the house did not stop until dusk, but the snowflakes still kept falling, which made people feel cold.

Seeing that the wind and snow did not stop, the Yan brothers gathered the soldiers and assistants who were resting in the pavilion, and everyone went out to rub the joints of the mounts, preparing to go on the road again. If it doesn't look good today, they have no choice, even though they would rather rest in a warm room until tomorrow than leave early.

They had to rush back to Xiangping as soon as possible and distribute the transport of thick winter clothes and other items from the stricken villages, but this matter could not be delayed for three or five days. In winter, when it gets dark early, it is dangerous enough to brave the wind and snow to travel, but if you rush to the night again, you are afraid that you will fall and get injured.

Taking advantage of the gap between his subordinates to pack up their mounts, Yan Dong pushed open the door of the house, and the howling wind and snow poured into the house, Yan Bei tightened the thick fox fur outside his armor, and frowned at the wind and snow in the sky...... The snow is beautiful, but the cold is never a good thing for the people or the crops.

"This wind and snow, I'm afraid that my brother won't be able to celebrate the New Year in Liaodong, and the sacrifices at home will be taken care of by you, go to the temple to see my father and brother." As soon as the snow comes, the entire Youdong is like this, and it is not much better to come to Youxi, and he, the newly appointed state pastor, is afraid that it is only right to visit various counties and counties in the New Year. The soldier brought the mount, Yan Bei turned over and got on the horse, and then a slight smile appeared on his face, and said, "San Lang, go to the house to see your eldest nephew!" ”

Hey, Youzhou's little thistle, that wrinkled face is called Yan Huan!
