Chapter 502: Ben Gongzi has a way to make the carriage gallop through the snowfield
"This **** ghost weather, this wind is stronger than a knife. [Latest chapter reading] Xu Zheng also squeezed to the fire with a trembling mouth, rubbing his hands and complaining.
"What is this, this is the beginning of the snowstorm, wait until tomorrow morning and then go out to have a look, if the snow is too big, I'm afraid you won't even be able to see the top of the tent." Qi Da smiled, and squeezed over, and the three of them crowded in front of the warm iron stove, and after a lot of effort, they finally warmed up.
However, as soon as Xu Zheng took off his felt boots, he provoked Qi Da to scold, and Duan Shaojun directly covered his nose and took a few steps back. "Damn, what's going on with your feet? I haven't washed it for many years. ”
"Childe, how can you blame me, the small ones are sweaty feet, no matter how cold and hot the weather is, the sweat keeps flowing, and it will naturally taste a little bit, but you can't be so exaggerated, right?" Xu Zheng was very curious and put the wet socks to his nose and smelled them, with an innocent look. "It doesn't stink."
"You ****, throw that thing away, you want to monopolize the tent alone, don't you? If you dare to bake it for me again, believe it or not, brother will roast you now. Qi Qi kicked the thing and scolded with a smile.
"But that's all I need for socks." Xu Zheng was very reluctant.
"This son has something, please throw it out quickly, otherwise, you go out to sleep." Duan Shaojun fanned the wind in front of his nose and threatened viciously.
Xu Zheng reluctantly walked to the thick felt curtain with his socks, opened a small slit, and threw the smelly socks outside.

When the goods came back, Duan Shaojun took out an iron kettle of wine from his medicine box, and asked Qi Da to bring three tea cups, one of them poured one, drank some old wine, sat in front of the stove and sipped the wine, while bragging and farting, listening to Qi Da describe that he once encountered a snowstorm that was even bigger than this on the way to the march, that time, they were thirty patrolmen, and there were only thirteen of them who could return to the camp alive with all their hands and feet.
Hearing this, Duan Shaojun couldn't help but sigh a little. Not to mention this era, even if you live in a modern society, if you go out to the prairie in a snowstorm, it is a matter of death.
Looking at the felt tent swaying slightly, there was no way, the wind was too big, an unreasonable blizzard, the north wind was so strong, it was like countless wolves were letting out one terrible howl after another, and the tent built of felt shook from time to time, making Duan Shaojun feel as if his camp tent would collapse at any time.
Chatting and chatting, the wine and tea dried up, and the three sleepy people went to sleep. It wasn't until the sharp sound of a bamboo whistle sounded the next morning that Duan Shaojun opened his eyes. Not...... The tent is still standing, and he is not sleeping in the snowdrift, which means that the tent is indeed firmly established.
And Xu Zheng yawned and put on his military uniform, saying that he would go out to have a look first, but he came to the felt curtain and pushed it, hey, he couldn't push it open. "Which son of a bitch is out there?!" Xu Zheng was furious, scolded and scolded, and finally pushed open a gap, and saw that the snow that had accumulated two feet thick was blocked outside the tent.
"Is this an overnight effort?" Duan Shaojun walked out with a sigh of voice, and walked hard in the heavy snow, the deep snow made it really difficult for people to walk an inch.
"Childe, are you still training today?" Qi Da next to him also worked hard to take steps, and it took a lot of effort to take every step, after all, the snow was too deep.
"How can you train with such a lot of snow?" Duan Shaojun rolled his eyes helplessly, looking at the soldiers who came out of the tent one after another, and suddenly had an idea. "Let them clear a field first. Don't run today, and do strength training in the camp today, which doesn't require much space. ”
"That's okay, son, slow down, and the little one will go over and talk to the elder lieutenant." Xu Zheng next to him nodded, turned around and walked to the side, but unfortunately this is not flat ground, but deep snow that can accumulate knees, twisting too fast, and the feet have not been pulled out at all, this thing is planted straight into the snow, causing a burst of laughter.
Heavy snow, Xu Jinzhong couldn't help but feel worried, his brows were worried, his face was full of clouds, and in front of him, a strong man who was wearing an ordinary silk robe, but his demeanor was revealing a fierce position, and he was cursing and cursing this damn thief next to him.
This guy came from Liaodong, got a thousand horses, and of course drove fifty carriages over, just so that he could put on cotton gloves and felt boots and rush back to Liaodong as soon as possible. But now, as soon as this violent snowstorm came, this guy was directly dumbfounded.
The weather is cold, and if the snow does not melt, these hundred carriages can be described as difficult to move an inch. The problem is that Xu Jinzhong can't think about it. After all, I'm a human and not a bird, so I can't fly over thousands of miles with my boots, right?
What to do? Xu Jinzhong immediately found someone to rush to the camp to inform Duan Shaojun, and then he could only sit here and wait stupidly with this scolding military man.
At noon, Duan Shaojun finally hurried over. When the military man saw Duan Shaojun, he jumped up directly, stepped forward and saluted first, and then said anxiously. "Duan Changshi, you have to think of a way for the last general no matter what, if I am trapped here, the 25,000 soldiers will have to freeze."
"Don't worry, you can't rush this anymore, can you? But there will be a delay of a day or two, can you wait? Duan Shaojun hurriedly stretched out his hand to help the military man and asked.
"Childe, do you have a way?" Xu Jinzhong couldn't help but be stunned, for fear that Duan Shaojun would say something big, so he hurriedly rushed at Duan Shaojun to make a look.
"Of course there is a way, but you need to modify your wagons so that you can drive in the snow." Duan Shaojun nodded and said to the overjoyed military man.
"Yes, one or two days, three or four days, but we can't delay it for too long." The soldier's head clicked quickly. "How to change it, please ask Duan Changshi to show it, and change it in the end."
"You're not a carpenter, what can you change?" Duan Shaojun rolled his eyes and patted this buddy on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Jinzhong, go to the city and summon the carpenters who can be summoned." There is work for them to do. ”
"Childe, aren't you kidding? No matter how much this carriage is changed, it will still be a carriage, and it can't fly on the snow, right? Xu Jinzhong reminded Duan Shaojun in a low voice with a bitter face.
"Nonsense, I know very well that these carpenters from Yunzhou City are not Lu Ban, but this son does have a way to make these carriages as light as a feather on this snow." Duan Shaojun glanced at this loyal buddy angrily and motioned him to hurry up.
#####
Xu Jinzhong had no choice but to hurry out, and in less than an hour, a dozen or so carpenters all came to the backyard of the store, and they all looked at Duan in a daze, standing in front of a piece of white paper covered with a wooden board, on the white paper, there was a very strange shape, the object was flat, but the two ends were raised high. The upper part of the face is comprehensive, but the lower part is slightly curved.
"The length is about one zhang, the width is about half a foot, and the thickest part should not exceed one inch, how many such boards can you make in one day?" Duan Shaojun asked these guys.
"Official, if such a board needs to be polished and smooth, then Xiao Lao'er can probably make a ** block in a day." Said an old carpenter at the head.
And the other carpenters are similar, and there is no problem in making seven or eight pieces a day. Duan Shaojun pinched his fingers and calculated, at the end of the day, it was almost enough for fifty carriages, plus the installation, then the time would be about a day.
"Okay, I'll make a piece of wood, that's a hundred dollars, how about it?" Duan Shaojun said with a pleasant face. "The quality can be guaranteed to me, not a big piece and a small one, then I won't pay."
"Official, you can rest assured, Xiao Lao'er has been doing this business for decades, and the size of the guarantee must be about the same, the difference is too much, and you are embarrassed to ask for money." The old carpenter said confidently.
"That's okay, here's the pattern, it's clearly marked, one person takes one and goes, in addition, go find someone to get the wood over there, hurry up and ......"
