Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Three Hurrying Winter(1/3)
With the influence of Cao and Liu on the ownership of the land of Hanchuan, the Hanzhong War lasted for most of the year.
In the end, Liu Bei's side occupied the entire territory of Hanzhong.
I also heard that Liu Bei set up an altar in Mianyang and performed rituals to worship heaven to rectify his throne.
Follow the example of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang four hundred years ago.
In order to leave the territory of Sichuan and Sichuan, the Northern Expedition was launched to revitalize the Han Dynasty.
Even though Cao Cao was extremely angry when he heard that Liu Bei had taken the lead in proclaiming himself king, the situation was such that he could not launch another army to march south.
We had no choice but to adopt Jia Xu's strategy and use political public opinion and the great cause of controlling the emperor's status to condemn.
But it was also under the team led by Zhuge Liang that there were countless brilliant and outstanding articles.
Even……
The articles written by Zhuge Liang himself are beautifully worded and heartbreaking to read, making you unconsciously worry about the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty.
Then he easily extended the misfortune of the Han Dynasty to the Han thief Cao Cao.
This public opinion battle comes and goes.
The Cao family controlled the emperor and condemned him in the name of justice.
But Liu Bei, in turn, used his status as the emperor of the Han Dynasty to fight back with the banner of Qing Jun and the restoration of the Han Dynasty.
After a period of time has passed.
Naturally, it will end without any problem!
As Liu Bei sent his main force southward, he returned to Chengdu.
And Huo Jun led his troops northward to station in Wudu and Yinping counties in the northwest.
By the time Zhao Tong led more than 5,000 cavalry to the important border town of Qiangdao City, it had been nearly two years since the Hanzhong War ended.
Wait for the soldiers of each department to hold their heads high and march in orderly formation outside the station.
Snowflakes like goose feathers were already floating in the sky.
It is now winter in late October.
The severe cold in the north has already arrived.
I saw that every soldier in the army had already put on winter clothes and was wrapped in thick clothing.
But you can’t see it at a glance.
The sergeant's face was still so cold that he turned red and purple, and even seemed to curl up into a ball.
Looking at this scene, Zhao Tong was sitting on a war horse, wearing a thick robe, enduring the torment of the fierce cold wind that was whistling by.
There was a hint of worry in his eyes unconsciously.
"It seems that there is no way to take military action this winter."
He muttered to himself secretly.
Originally, Tong Zhao planned to send two thousand knights to the border of Longxi after entering Qiang Road to inquire about Cao's garrison deployment in Liangzhou and other situations.
Ever since I entered the lower debate with my troops.
Compared to the south and Yinping County, the northern part of Wudu County is already flat land, which is extremely suitable for the knights to gallop.
But now the winter season is approaching.
But it forced him to give up the idea.
Probably because of the five thousand troops he led this time.
Among them, the three thousand infantry were all soldiers from Jingzhou.
The two thousand knights were formed by warriors selected from the Shu people who were good at riding horses.
But it doesn’t matter if you are a Shu person or a Jingzhou person.
When we first arrived at Wudu County, which is near the northern end, we were more or less acclimatized.
Two thousand knights are not bad.
Facing the colder weather in the north and the sudden drop in temperature, the Shu people can still adapt slowly.
But the sergeant from Jingzhou was miserable.
Jingzhou is located in the water town of Jiangnan.
They have never fallen north in their lives.
Now I have experienced the cold winter weather.
Face physical damage from the north.
I really can’t stop shouting!
In this case, the best strategy this winter is to call a truce.
When spring begins next year and the snow melts, it will be the right choice to accompany military operations.
The problem of acclimatization.
Zhao Tong came from a later generation and was naturally aware of the dangers and drawbacks. Once handled improperly, big troubles would result.
Just like the Battle of Chibi that broke out a few years ago.
Isn't the main reason for his defeat that Cao's troops were all from the north and were not adapted to the Jiangnan climate, which led to their defeat due to multiple diseases?
After Zhao Tong thought about these questions deeply in his mind.
He then quickly summoned his general Ma Zhong and asked: "Dexin, before setting off, I told you to find several doctors in Hanzhong to accompany the army as military doctors. Is it okay?"
The words were quickly spoken.
At this moment, the back of Ma Zhong's hands was visibly turned purple from the cold. After hearing these words, he resolutely responded with cupped hands and fists:
"Report to General, the matter has been settled."
"The doctors are already in the army and are ready to be dispatched at any time."
The words fell loudly.
After Zhao Tong heard this, his face also showed deep joy.
Ma Zhong has been following him for a year and a half, and he has become extremely comfortable with it.
No matter what he is assigned to do, he can complete the task without reservation.
"Well, Dexin, if you can complete the mission this time, it can be said that you have made another contribution and saved our army from worries!"
"I would like to make a note for you in my merit book first."
The words fell.
Zhao Tong also had a smile on his face and praised him with approving eyes.
Immediately, he ordered again: "Dexin, next you are responsible for informing the generals of various ministries and asking them to always pay attention to the situation between the armies."
"If you find that a soldier is not acclimatized, report it immediately without delay."
"If there is any delay in passing on the order, military justice will be dealt with!"
At the end of his words, Zhao Tong also had a serious look on his face and gave a stern order.
"Here!"
An order was passed down.
Ma Zhong also saw from his expression that his general attached great importance to this matter, so he firmly and forcefully accepted the offer.
Of course, Zhao Tong attached great importance to this matter.
after all.
When southerners first arrived in the north, they were not accustomed to the local climate.
If we do not pay attention to it, the possibility of subsequent epidemic outbreaks is extremely high!
Waiting for everything to be arranged.
The officers and soldiers of each department had just completed the handover and identity verification with the more than 100 border guards who were left behind, and settled in the camp to rest.
And it hadn't even been a few days since we arrived at the Qiang Road.
Things went wrong among the people in the army who agreed to do so.
The soldiers from Jingzhou gradually began to feel unwell.
Someone with frostbite...
There are those who vomit, and there are those who suddenly become ill.
In an instant.
There was a trace of panic throughout the entire station.
To be continued...
