The winter of Dinghai was particularly difficult.

Especially in the country of Liang, as soon as December begins, heavy snow in the north arrives as scheduled.

It's not that there has never been snow in the south, but how could a soldier from Wu Chu ever see a heavy snow for two or three days?

Even more troublesome......

Liu Wei forgot to equip his soldiers with enough warm clothing.

As a result, a large number of soldiers were frostbitten or even frozen to death, but the heavy snow covered the mountains, making it extremely difficult to cut firewood, and the barracks lacked enough heating fuel, and the soldiers who were extremely frozen even ignored the discipline in the army, and secretly brought some hay for cattle and horses to eat to keep warm.

The discipline of the army is simple and crude, and at every turn it is to behead, kill, execute, and cane.

In the past few days, the military judge has killed more than a dozen people.

Bloody human heads hung from the gate, and the heads with angry eyes and loose hair temporarily frightened the soldiers.

But in the barracks, there are undercurrents flowing quietly.

In the face of this qiē, Hengba was worried.

The situation at this moment, in his eyes, is really extremely bad!

The army paused under Suiyang City for two months, although there were several times to jump on the top of the city, almost attacking the progress of Suiyang City, but unfortunately, the Liang army on the opposite side was not vegetarian, and every time it was desperate to come back.

According to the prisoners of war, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, even knelt on the ground in order to defend Suiyang, and entrusted the responsibility of defending the city to his six generals, and also took out the savings of the Liang treasury to reward the meritorious soldiers.

There will be brave men under the reward!

What's more, it is a soldier of Liang who is fighting on the ground and wants to defend his homeland Sangzi?

And that's not the point.

The key is what Zhou Yafu, who is hiding in Changyi, is thinking?

Let's be honest. Hengba couldn't understand what Zhou Yafu wanted to hide in Changyi with hundreds of thousands of Han troops every day to dig trenches and build barriers?

Hengba went through all the war books. I can't find it, and there is such a strategy written in that book?

Didn't Zhou Yafu know that if Suiyang was captured, Changyi would lose its strategic role?

Didn't Zhou Yafu know that in the past two months, the Wu-Chu coalition army hadn't even looked at Changyi?

Hengba doesn't think that with Zhou Yafu's IQ, with Zhou Yafu's background. I don't even understand the problem that even ordinary soldiers can see clearly!

So the question is, what tricks is Zhou Yafu preparing?

Rubbing his somewhat swollen temples, Hengba sighed.

He has been in front of King Wu to ask for increased surveillance and vigilance in the direction of Changyi.

Begin. King Wu sent a large number of troops to the direction of Changyi to guard and established an impermeable scout patrol network.

At the beginning, there was an extra smoke in the direction of Lianchangyi. will be solemnly reported.

Pity. In the past two months, Zhou Yafu of Changyi not only dug trenches but also repaired camp tents, and even set fire to the mountains and forests near Changyi, posing as if he wanted to run Changyi into an iron barrel, making an appearance that he could not defend it.

After a series of surprises, doubts, incomprehension and exploration, Liu Bi Junchen finally confirmed that Zhou Yafu did not cheat, and those camps and trenches were lined up. The burned forests, houses and farms cannot be faked. Second, there is no use of tactics, and the spies near Changyi and even the shadows arranged in Lantian, Wuguan and even Chang'an show that Zhou Yafu did not play the trick of repairing the plank road in the Ming Dynasty and secretly crossing into a warehouse.

The troops that should be in Changyi are all in Changyi, and there is no one missing!

So today, King Wu Junchen finally confirmed that Zhou Yafu seemed to be indeed ready to wait for Wu Chu's army in Changyi.

In this regard, up and down, countless people expressed puzzlement.

Yafu was kicked in the head by a donkey this week, right?

Shouchang-eup has a fart?

Once Suiyang was captured, the Wu army could completely ignore the Han army in Changyi and swagger towards Luoyang, Hangu, and Chang'an.

As a result, some people boldly speculated: Zhou Yafu is afraid that he is a timid and cowardly, right?

In order to confirm this speculation, Liu Bi sent people to Zhou Yafu's trenches and camps in Changyi to scold the battle.

Ten men with loud voices scolded all afternoon.

The ditches and camps on the opposite side did not react.

Don't even bother to shoot an archery.

Only when the Wu army tried to get closer to the camp, it shot a dense rain of arrows, killing about three or four people, and wounding five or six people.

After that time, the evaluation of Zhou Yafu's timidity and cowardice became completely popular among Wu Jun.

No one pays special attention to Zhou Yafu anymore.

What is there to value for such a timid guy?

Chang'an is unmanned!

Only Hengba has been constantly thinking about what is wrong.

At this time, a convoy of wagons carrying grain was driven by the firefighters towards the barracks in the distance.

Several officers chattered while rushing to the car.

Hengba also listened to it at first, the complaints of these baggage officers come and go is nothing more than tired brother, damn, can't you eat less?

However, just as Hengba was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard an officer babbling: "The ghost weather of this straight thief is really cold, no wonder those guys in Huaisikou are hiding in the camp tent to roast the fire and sleep with women...... I heard that even the Huai River is frozen! ”

Another officer excused: "Not really! This hell weather, now, the small rivers and streams are all frozen, and the rivers are frozen, otherwise, we will miss the deadline this time! ”

Hengba immediately straightened his steps and stepped forward to ask, "What did you two just say?" ”

The two officers who were still complaining and nagging saw Hengba, and their backs were cold for no reason, and they hurriedly saluted: "General Heng, we just said that the river is frozen......

The other person said with a smile on his face: "Isn't it, we almost got trapped in the snow when we came back from transporting the baggage this time, and the river was all frozen, so we drove the baggage truck and came directly from the river!" ”

"The river freezes ......" Hengba was shocked!

There has never been a river freezing in the south, and people can wade through the ice to cross the river.

Yes, he had never thought about that before.

But at this moment, Hengba remembered.

The great river freezes every year, and the ice cover is thick enough even for the heavy infantry and baggage wagons in the army to pass through guò.

And this year the weather is even colder.

Just now, these soldiers also said that the army guarding the lifeline of Huaisi actually roasted a fire in the camp tent.

"I will go to the king immediately and ask the king to send troops to protect Huaisi!"

The northern soldiers are mainly cavalry, if at this time, Zhou Yafu sends out a cavalry, he can quickly reach Huaisi and cut off Huaisi's grain transportation channel.

Then, these hundreds of thousands of Wu Chu troops in the icy and snowy land of the northern country will soon face the danger of freezing to death and starving to death.

Hengba knew very well that because of the war, and because the supply line was too long, the food stored in the Wu army was never enough for three days!

And once the grain channel is cut off, then all the qiē is afraid that it will immediately come to naught! (To be continued......)
