"Ding Ding Dong!"

Hangu Pass, the great general.

As Xiao Qiao Qianqian's jade fingers rose and fell rapidly, the strings trembled, and a ten-sided ambush sounded from under the jade fingers, drifting away in the tent of the commander of the Chinese army.

The sound of the piano is melodious, tactful and agitated, flickering dark and bright, flickering strong and weak, staggered with virtual and real, and endlessly winding around the beam.

In the big tent, Li Li, who was dressed in a brocade robe, turned his back to the big tent, stood in front of the door, staring at the white snowflakes fluttering in the sky with a calm expression, as if he was thoughtful, and seemed to be like a stagnant water, quietly listening to the sound of the piano, and realizing the cold and tranquility in the middle of winter.

On the left side of the big tent, a fur coat wrapped Xiao Qiao's delicate body with envy of others, a guqin moaned and vibrated between her fingers, and a hot charcoal fire drove away the cold, warmed the beautiful person, and brought warmth to the whole big tent.

At this time, ten days have passed since the battle of Feiyundu, and before you know it, Hangu Pass ushered in the first snow since the beginning of winter.

Snowflakes flutter and fall, flying and circling, like a holy and delicate girl descending into the world, soothing the dry and silent earth, containing the devastated man, guiding countless lost souls to find their way home.

fluttering snowflakes, small in shape, delicate in posture, but very persistent; From the second watch last night with the howling cold wind quietly arrived, it lasted until the afternoon, and now it is still unabated, and there is a tendency to intensify.

In the middle of winter, the earth is snowing, the people of Iraq are accompanied, enjoy the snow in the afternoon, stroke the qin to comfort the soul, the qin is born from the heart, and the voice of the heart is the sound of the piano.

Such a beautiful woman is really a blessing in life.

Men walk in the world, and the sword breaks through the cold night. Bloodshed in late autumn; When it snows, wake up and take charge of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauty.

The big husband should be like this.

I don't know when. The sound of the piano quietly stopped, Xiao Qiao got up slowly, walked behind Li Li, and gently hugged the man's tiger waist from behind, the soft and plump peaks were tightly attached to the man's strong and broad back, making Li Li, who was wandering in the world, suddenly come back to his senses. Looking back at dusk, his sharp eyes and Xiao Qiao's coquettish gaze met unexpectedly. In an instant, his eyes softened, showing a rare tenderness and full of smiles.

"Fujun is still thinking about the battle of Feiyundu ten days ago, is he sullen because he didn't catch Cao Cao?"

Li Li smiled when he heard this. The figure turned sideways, hugged Xiao Qiao lightly into his arms, and shook his head slightly: "No." It's just Cao Cao, and it's his luck to get away with it. Why bother? Moreover. Now that the cold winter is coming, Yuan Shao has led the army of the princes to start crossing the river seven days ago, and now he has set up camp in Loudiyuan, forty miles away. At this point, Cao Cao, who has been hiding in the mountains and forests, has escaped safely, and the final battle of the battle of Sili will be ushered in. The winter snow is coming, the weather is freezing and the earth is freezing, and more than 200,000 officers and men of our army will spend the whole winter in the cold and the earth, and this is a fierce battle to test the will. During this period, I don't know how many soldiers were able to survive this winter and hold on to the end. ”

Snuggle up in a man's arms. The snort was filled with the familiar smell of a man, and Xiao Qiao didn't feel a trace of chill, and the warmth wrapped around his delicate body. Instinctively stroking the man's chest, how Little Joe wished that time would always stop in this moment, and that he would always be held in his arms by the man he loved until eternity. But she knows that her man is ambitious, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, in charge of the power of the world, and many beautiful wives and concubines, he will never belong to him alone. Therefore, she cherishes every minute and second of being alone with a man, enjoys the man's embrace, feels his body temperature, and remembers the familiar smell of his body.

"Don't worry, husband. Yesterday, the concubine went to the barracks with the sister of the trainer and the sister of Yue'er, and saw that our army's food and grass were well prepared, the winter clothes were complete, and the charcoal was piled up like a mountain, which was enough to supply the army for the whole winter. In addition, General Gongjin obeyed the orders of his husband and brought a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock from Saibei, as well as a lot of black stones, eh??? It is the coal that the husband has often mentioned recently, which can be used for heating.

In other words, more than 200,000 soldiers of our army fought in the front, but there were more than 300,000 young men and county soldiers in the rear who were responsible for supplying grain and grass, which was enough to ensure the weight of the army. In contrast, the princely allies are different. They were laborers on an expedition, and the required grain, grass and baggage needed to be transported from Hedong to Henan, and there were many soldiers and horses, and the supply was insufficient, and the amount of grain, grass and charcoal needed every day was extremely large. Therefore, although the concubine is not familiar with warfare, she also knows that this winter will face a more severe test for the princes' army; If there is a slight difference, I am afraid that without the husband leading the army to attack, they will collapse without a fight. ”

Li Li smiled and hugged Xiao Qiao with great pity: "These days, you have personally distributed winter clothes and bedding to the soldiers, it is really too hard, don't do this in the future." You and the trainer were born in the south, and your body is delicate, and you have rarely had the opportunity to experience this kind of severe cold before, so you must know how to take care of yourself in the future. Recently, the war has been tense, and I have no time to take care of you, and the military camp is shabby, so you need to take care of yourself. ”

Speaking of this, Li Li gently kissed Xiao Qiao's forehead and raised his eyes to look at the snowflakes outside the tent: "War is exactly the same environment for the enemy and our armies, and the opportunities are equal. No matter who wants to achieve the final victory, the time and place are favorable, and no link can go wrong, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable and will be defeated.

In the previous battle of Hedong, our army was in a passive defensive situation, and if it was one step behind, it was passive everywhere, but the allies seized the opportunity and suffered repeated defeats, losing the Anyi camp in January, and had to retreat to Hangu Pass. However, although our army lost cities and lands in a row, fortunately, the soldiers were not badly damaged, and their strength was still there, and they were still not afraid of the army of the princes. The battle of Feiyundu can be called a major turning point in the entire battle of Sili, which wiped out Cao Cao's 60,000 troops in one fell swoop, and only more than 3,000 people escaped after the war, and the entire annihilation battle was perfect. Although its importance is not yet apparent, it will be evident in the ensuing war. ”

"In this way, the next battle will be much easier, and the husband will be able to completely defeat the army of the princes!" Xiao Qiao answered with a happy expression.

Li Li laughed when he heard this, and shook his head slightly: "Not really." The confrontation between the two armies is changing rapidly, and until the last moment, no one dares to say that they will definitely win. War has always been the weirdest and most elusive thing in the world, especially when the two sides are evenly matched. It is even more difficult to predict who will win or lose, and the slightest carelessness will affect the success or failure of the entire battle. However, our army currently occupies a geographical advantage. It is also a local battle, which has the advantages of both people and people, and as for the time of day, it is shared by the two armies. Compared with the two, our army has a certain advantage, and as long as there are no mistakes in decision-making, the worst result is a draw with the Allies. Caught in a long-term stalemate standoff. On the contrary, our army has a better chance of victory, as for the results of the battle. See you in the upcoming decisive battle between the two armies! ”

While speaking, Li Li hugged Xiao Qiao and returned to the big tent, Xiao Qiao cleaned his hands to make tea, and Li Li talked to Xiao Qiao while tasting tea. The war, the military, the government, and the parents are short. Talk about everything. Regardless of the passage of time, the couple snuggled up to each other, drank tea and enjoyed the snow, and enjoyed this rare free time.

――――――

In the evening, the winter snow stopped, the cold wind roared, and it became colder and colder outside the tent.

After dinner, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Huan Fei, Teng Xiao and Ma Chao walked into the handsome tent together.

After the greetings. Sitting down to serve tea, Guo Jia held a stack of books and handed them to the desk. Congratulations to report on the latest progress of the princes' allied forces crossing the river.

The scout reported that Yuan Shao had arrived on the south bank of the Yellow River at noon and officially entered the original allied camp in Loudi. As of this evening, the Allied forces had crossed the river with 200,000 troops, built a trench 10 miles away from Loudiyuan, and stationed 50,000 troops to defend against a sneak attack by our army. However, it is snowing heavily today, and it is presumably that the speed of the Allied army's subsequent crossing of more than 100,000 horses will be very slow, and it will take about ten days to reach the Allied camp. ”

"Huh?" Li Li was stunned when he heard this, and casually put down the bamboo slips that he was about to look through: "The army of the princes crossed the river much faster than us, and 200,000 troops crossed the Yellow River in just seven days, why is this?" ”

"My lord, there are three reasons why the Allied forces crossed the river so quickly. One is that Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang had long been prepared, and the boats used by Cao Cao's 60,000 troops to cross the river were from Zhang Yang's hands. Second, the Allied army was numerous, and the mountainous and dense jungles in Hedong County were inexhaustible, and the speed of building ships was extremely fast. Third, the Yangzhou soldiers of Sun Ce's subordinate in the allied army floated on the Yangtze River all the year round, were familiar with water warfare, and were good at making all kinds of simple rafts and bamboo rafts, which were extremely fast and effective. In addition, it is the middle of winter, the water level of the Yellow River drops sharply, and the shallows freeze, greatly shortening the distance to cross the river. Originally, we could only make two round-trips a day, but now the Allies can cross the river three times a day. Because of this, the Allied forces naturally crossed the river faster than our army, and because of the freezing on the banks of the Yellow River, they were able to land on the banks of the river even if they did not have a ferry to stop to meet them. ”

After listening to Guo Jia's explanation, Li Li shook his head slightly and chuckled: "It is said that the same people do not have the same fate, I didn't believe it before, but now that the facts are in front of me, I can't afford to wait for me to believe it." Since the war between the two armies, Yuan Shao and the princes' armies have been marching all the way, attacking all the battles and being invincible, which can be described as smooth sailing and blessed by God!

As for our army, although it occupies a favorable position and people, it has continuously lost cities and land, and has repeatedly made mistakes, thus leaving an opportunity for the allies to take advantage of and retreat all the way to Hangu Pass. A fire in Anyi City burned down not only a granary, but also the ordnance of the city that we had carefully prepared for half a year, so that the impregnable Anyi City was riddled with holes and had to be abandoned. Ten days ago, in the battle of Feiyundu, if it weren't for the luck of us and the other lucky people who happened to meet head-on, maybe Hanguguan might really be captured by Cao Thief. If Hangu Pass falls, it is not difficult for you to imagine how severe our army will be, more than 200,000 troops will be cut into two ends by the allies, and they will not be able to care about each other, and will also cut off the supply of food and grass to our army. ”

Speaking of this, Li Li's words changed sharply, and he ordered: "Wen He quickly ordered Huang Zhong, the general of the military pass, to strengthen vigilance, and not to relax for a moment. In addition, he was allowed to recruit 10,000 county soldiers from the Lantian battalion to go to Wuguan to cooperate in guarding the pass, and in any case, he must ensure that Wuguan is not lost, otherwise, he will be severely punished! ”

For the next half hour, the six ministers were all discussing the current war. After the discussion was over, Li Li asked Guo Jia again about Cao Cao's whereabouts.

"Weichen was derelict in his duties, and he neglected to report to the lord for a while. Before the discussion, we received a scout report, and our army saw Cao Cao enter the allied camp with his own eyes and completely escaped. ”

"Oh? Now that you know, go back and rest. Li Li's expression changed slightly, and while groaning and waving his hand to signal Guo Jia and the others to retreat, he got up and left the big tent and strode towards the inner room of the back tent.

After slowly leaving the big tent, Guo Jia and Jia Xu walked side by side. Jia Xu looked up at the night sky, and then turned his head to look at Guo Jia: "The lord seemed to be a little disappointed just now, our army dispatched fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses to search for seven or eight days, but Cao Cao escaped. ”

"Hmm." Guo Jia nodded lightly: "What Brother Wen He said is very true. In this battle of Feiyundu, the lord was determined to take Cao Cao's head, and he did not hesitate to take risks himself, but he didn't want Cao Cao to escape the catastrophe and return to the allied camp alive. However, the lord is very human in the end, and when he encounters such a setback, the lord is just unhappy in his heart, and he is not angry about it. This kind of mind really makes Guo embarrassed! ”

Jia Xu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and shook his head lightly thoughtfully: "The lord has always been happy and angry, but this time it is an exception, which shows that the lord is not completely relieved in his heart." This hidden anger, I am afraid that the main guild will completely explode in the next decisive battle between the two armies. This winter is not peaceful! ”
