"This ...... This damn weather, won't ...... You can't mean to freeze us all to death, right? Hu Yanqing sat by the fire with the quilt in his arms, and said while shivering, just now he went out to inspect it, and found that none of the soldiers patrolling outside were gone, and they must have already hid in the house to warm up, and even the soldiers at the head of the city stayed in the city tower and did not dare to come out, because there was not only a strong wind and heavy snow outside, but also extremely cold, and if you were not careful, you might freeze to death.

"Although the weather is a little colder, it is also beneficial, at least we don't have to worry about Yeluren attacking so frantically first, and they stay in the camp tents outside the city, they are definitely not as warm as the houses in our city, and even I hope it will be a little colder, it is better to wait until the weather clears, we just need to go outside the city to clean up for them!" Zhao Zongwu took down the hot water kettle from the fire, poured a cup of hot water for Hu Yanqing, handed it over and said with a smile.

At noon yesterday, the north wind that had been blowing for more than ten days suddenly turned from weak to strong, and it blew more and more, and at the same time, the goose feather-like snow also fell non-stop, under the ravages of the wind and snow, the temperature also dropped rapidly, before Hu Yanqing they already felt that the winter here in Gubeikou was cold enough, but it was not until these cold waves came, they found that the cold before was nothing, and now this ghost weather is called really cold, and the stove used for heating before is useless, In desperation, they had to raise a fire in their room, and sleep peacefully around the fire at night.

"You think it's beautiful, but even in the current weather, Yeluren outside the city must not feel good. It is estimated that it is inevitable that some soldiers will freeze to death, but if you want to freeze all of Yelu Renxian's army to death by relying on the weather alone, it is estimated that it is unlikely. "When I said this. I saw Hu Yanqing touch the short beard on his chin and said, "It's a pity that the snow outside is so heavy, and when the weather clears, it will definitely be heavy snow to close the road, and it will be difficult for us to get out of the city, otherwise this is a good opportunity to sneak attack Yelu Renxian, what a waste of a great opportunity!" ”

Seeing Hu Yanqing screaming pity, Zhao Zongwu also laughed. After a while, he spoke: "I also said that I think beautifully, and you are not much worse than me, such a heavy wind and snow can indeed cause Yelu Renxian's camp to suffer a lot of losses." However, I have inquired before I came, Gubeikou is just in a tuyere, and in previous years, it almost snowed heavily in winter, and it is said that the largest one almost filled the entire Gubeikou. It didn't melt until the summer of the following year. I'm really worried about us being buried under the snowdrifts. ”

As soon as Zhao Zongwu's words fell, he heard a burst of laughter outside, and then saw that the gate was opened, and Yang Huaiyu, the head of the march, strode in and said to him: "Zongwu, you don't have to worry about being buried under the heavy snow, I have already sent someone to find out before, like the kind of heavy snow that buries the entire Gubeikou under the snowdrift, it is almost rare to encounter in hundreds of years, although the heavy snowfall we encountered is big." But those who know the celestial phenomena have already observed it, and it will only last for five or six days at most. The snow will stop, and at most most of our houses will be buried, so don't forget to organize people to clean up the snow from the roof. ”

As Yang Huaiyu came in, a cold wind blew in with wind and snow, making Hu Yanqing and Zhao Zongwu shiver, and then stood up and saluted Yang Huaiyu: "See the manager!" ”

"Hehe, don't be polite, when I went out just now, I encountered a wild boar that was crazy and rushed down from the mountain, and was killed by a few arrows from me, so you two boys are also blessed, let's eat wild boar hot pot around the fire today!" Yang Huaiyu laughed at this time and said, Gubeikou is a canyon, there are cliffs on the left and right sides, because the cliffs are too steep, ordinary people can't go up at all, but occasionally there are still some beasts on the cliffs, and sometimes there are lost beasts into the city, but most of them are small animals, this time Yang Huaiyu was able to meet a wild boar, I have to say that his luck is really good.

Hu Yanqing and Zhao Zongwu heard that there was a wild boar to eat, and both of them were ecstatic, and immediately stood up to help, the wild boar killed by Yang Huaiyu was not small, it looked like it was more than two hundred catties, and now it was carried out by two guards, of course the three of them couldn't eat it, so Yang Huaiyu and the three of them took it personally, and after cleaning up the wild boar, only one hind leg and pig intestines, pig liver, and pig heart were left, and the rest were all given by Yang Huaiyu to other generals in the army.

The iron pot was set on the fire, some of the pork bones that were chopped up were thrown into the pot and boiled, and various spices were also put into the pot, and after a while, the water in the pot was boiled, and the tempting fragrance also came out, and the wild boar and the washed offal were also cut into slices and put aside, and the three of them sat around the fire, stretched out their chopsticks and carried the thin wild boar meat in the hot pot to soak it, and then dipped it in garlic and vinegar sauce and ate it in their mouths, not to mention the delicious taste.

At the beginning, Yang Huaiyu and the three of them didn't care about talking, they just buried their heads in eating, and finally waited until their stomachs were full for seven or eight points, and then they breathed a sigh of relief, and then Yang Huaiyu smiled and said: "Listening to the cold wind whistling outside, we are guarding the fire and eating hot pot, this is really a rare enjoyment!" ”

"Hehe, this is all thanks to the chief manager, if it weren't for the luck of the chief manager to meet this wild boar, where would we be able to sit here and taste the food?" Zhao Zongwu also laughed at this time, and by the way, he also slapped Yang Huaiyu on the back.

"Haha~, in addition to the bad water in your belly, the biggest advantage of this kid is this mouth, but it's not accurate to say that you have my blessing, it should be said that we are all blessed by this blizzard, if it weren't for this blizzard, we would definitely still be fighting against Yelu Renxian's army now, and this wild boar will not run down from the mountain because of the cold!" Yang Huaiyu laughed at this time and said, because of the strong wind and extreme cold, the Liao army outside the city could not attack the city, so he was also rarely idle, which also made him feel very good these days, after all, after fighting for such a long time, no matter who would feel tired.

"What the chief manager said is that this heavy snowstorm is enough to make the Liao army outside the city drink a pot, and I am still thinking about whether to wait until the sky clears up, let's organize an attack on the Liao army outside the city, after all, they must have suffered a lot of losses in this heavy snowstorm, maybe we can defeat Yelu Renxian in one fell swoop, and we don't need the imperial court to send another army!" Hu Yanqing stuffed a piece of cooked pork heart into his mouth at this time, and said loudly while chewing.

Yang Huaiyu heard that his proud protégé was already thinking about taking the initiative to attack, and he also showed a contemplative expression at the moment, but in the end he shook his head firmly and said: "Brother Qing'er, you have not forgotten the advice of His Royal Highness King Yue to us at the beginning, but he asked us not to take risks, after all, it is not easy to establish our Hebei army, if we are not careful and cause huge losses, then our previous efforts will all be in vain." ”

Hearing Yang Huaiyu hear Zhao Yan's previous advice, Hu Yanqing also immediately came to his senses, he only thought about taking the opportunity to break the siege of the Liao army, but ignored the hidden risks, not to mention anything else, Yeluren is a veteran on the battlefield, and he is familiar with the weather here, so no one is sure that he will not be prepared, in case the Liao army survives this heavy snowstorm safely, and does not suffer any losses, if they attack rashly, I am afraid that the other party can only find an opportunity.

Thinking of the above, Hu Yanqing immediately said to Yang Huaiyu with a ashamed face: "The chief manager forgives the sins, the last general was really confused before, and almost forgot the school governor's advice!" ”

"Hehe, young people naturally make mistakes, but speaking of Brother Qing, your performance in the past few years has been too good, even I, the chief instructor, feel a little pressure when facing you, and now seeing you make mistakes, I can find a little bit of the feeling of being an instructor!" Yang Huaiyu teased indifferently at this time, but what he said is also the truth, although his rank in the army is higher than Hu Yanqing, but with Hu Yanqing's performance, if he doesn't work hard, maybe he will be surpassed by his students in a few years.

Hearing Yang Huaiyu's ridicule, before Hu Yanqing could speak, Zhao Zongwu, who was sitting next to him and eating, laughed and said: "Instructor, you're right, our brothers were taught a lot by the instructor at the beginning, so now after entering the army, they are all holding their breath, planning to rise to the top of the instructor's head, and then show off to the instructor!" ”

"Ha~, you are really gasping for your fat, I am also your instructor, all your skills are taught by me, it is not so easy to sit on my head, especially this time after recovering Yanyun, you all have to stay under me honestly!" Yang Huaiyu immediately pretended to be angry when he heard Zhao Zongwu's words, although they are called master and apprentice, they usually play around in private, and their feelings for each other are also very deep.

After a few jokes, the three of them unconsciously talked about the current situation, after all, although Yelu Renxian's offensive was blocked by this heavy snowstorm, they were still besieged by the Liao army, and it is said that the Liao State once again organized an army to rush from behind them, and if they attacked from the north and south with Yelu Renxian, I am afraid they would not have a good time.

In the end, Yang Huaiyu and the others talked about the reinforcements that Zhao Yan asked them to wait for, and they all knew that it was difficult for the imperial court to send a large number of reinforcements, but it was the naval division in Zhao Yan's hands that had extraordinary combat power and could attack the hinterland of Liao from the sea, but now it was almost the New Year, but they still hadn't heard any news about the reinforcements, which made them all very anxious, and even the hearts of the troops below were already a little shaken. It's just that Yang Huaiyu and the others don't know that Zhao Yan is actually more anxious than them. (To be continued......)
