Hearing this, Zhao Hongqing nodded and said: "According to the news from the front, roads are blocked by heavy snow. Currently, my father has led an army to attack the capital of the Tang Kingdom. However, the original supplies, grain, grass and other items are still in the border towns of the Tang Kingdom.

The journey is long and it is very difficult to transport supplies. If nothing else, my father and the others will have a difficult time this winter."

As soon as this was said, the two women immediately fell into worry.

Although they are women, their status determines their horizons, and they are also very concerned about such national events.

Zhuge Linglong has been familiar with military books since he was a child and knows a few things. "When I was studying with my father, my father said that in all major military affairs, marching and fighting in the ice and snow has always been avoided. Marching in winter has always been a taboo for military strategists."

But it is said that my father has led troops many times and broke the rules this time, so you don’t have to worry too much, my father and the others are masters of war, and they will definitely be able to turn danger into safety even in ice and snow."

Zhao Hongqing said worriedly: "Actually, I am not worried that my father and the others will be in danger. The fact that they were able to attack from south to north in just over a year and capture almost half of the Tang Kingdom is enough to prove it."

"Father, their speed in using troops and their military strategies are so superb. Right now, what worries me most is that the soldiers don't have enough to eat or wear. This winter, I'm afraid many people will freeze to death."

These two women? They probably understood what the prince meant.

The soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but were frozen to death.

It was an unjust death, and it was a bitter death.

Zhao Weixi frowned and said, "What about now? Is there any solution?"

Zhao Hongqing said: "What does the mother mean? At any cost, even if it is a waste of all the manpower currently available, we must let the father and the others eat a hot meal before the new year, so that the soldiers can feel comfortable.

If you are tired, put on cotton-padded clothes.”

"Have all the manpower been allocated?" Zhao Weixi said.

Zhao Hongqing nodded. "This time, we have raised 60,000 Jin Yiwei and Dongchang people to escort the food and grass. Most of them are warriors and can withstand the severe cold."

Asking Jin Yiwei and the people from the East Factory to transport grain and grass? This thing? It is the first time that it has happened.

Zhao Changqing still doesn’t know these things.

Since he had a rare half-day of leisure, he put all his focus on the war.

Everyone says that it is not suitable to march and fight in ice and snow.

Zhao Changqing wanted to break the rules. He ordered his soldiers to attack the city, intending to catch him by surprise.

But I never thought that the Tang army officers and soldiers had been on guard, and after a big battle, the Wei army suffered heavy losses.

In the camp, Zhao Changqing blamed himself: "I never expected that this time, these Tang Dynasty guards would be so good at marching and fighting, almost walking in front of us every step of the way, restraining us.

"

Zhuge Liang said sternly: "Your Majesty, we have fought against the Tang army several times, and we have won and lost. It is estimated that the other party is already familiar with our military strategies. It is reasonable to react like this. Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself. It's just

I'm afraid the next siege will be even more difficult."

Zhao Changqing said solemnly: "Then surround it. We can't get in and they can't get out. If it doesn't work for one year, just surround it for two years. We will fight them to the end. When the encirclement is almost complete, even their guards will

Even if the soldiers in the city don't say anything, the people in the city won't be able to bear it."

Xiao Yuming, who has always been calm, echoed: "Your Majesty is right. While they are surrounded, we can launch an attack from time to time. After all, the initiative in the war is in our hands."

After deciding on a big policy, there was no attack on the city for the next few days.

Until a few days before the end of the new year, a team arrived and sent some supplies.

After Zhao Changqing received the news, he immediately went out of the city to greet him.

Discovering that this team was just a small force, he saw a long team approaching in the distance.

He did not ask the soldiers in the border town to deliver supplies here.

It was really difficult to march in the ice and snow.

Moreover, there are too few soldiers and horses in the border town. If they were to escort us, accidents would easily happen along the way.

It’s too much trouble to go back and forth, so it’s better to wait until spring.

I just didn't expect that this team would actually go through all kinds of hardships and deliver the supplies of food and grass!

Looking at the costumes of this team, it seems that they are all from Jinyiwei or Dongchang.

After some questioning, Zhao Changqing learned the whole story.

He laughed loudly, "The prince has really solved a big problem for me! Send an order to the soldiers of the three armies to celebrate the New Year in advance!"

"Celebrate the New Year early?"

All the soldiers following Zhao Changqing were confused.

Even if the supplies arrive, there is no need to waste money, right?

The most they can do is to distribute cotton-padded clothes to the soldiers and improve their food.

Why celebrate the New Year in advance?

Xiang Yu is outspoken and always says what he has to say, "Your Majesty, why do you want to celebrate the New Year in advance?"

Zhao Changqing smiled and said: "Have I told you before that this New Year's Eve will not make things easier for the Tang Dynasty? Let the soldiers eat well, wear good clothes and drink well these days, and wait until the New Year's Eve day to attack the city! And it must be a big one

The legion is attacking the city day and night, and I will make it difficult for the soldiers of the Tang Army to survive this new year!"

Upon hearing this, all the soldiers clasped their fists and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Since the capital of Tang State is currently surrounded by Wei troops, they have no idea what the situation is like in the outside world.

As for whether the Wei army had received supplies, they were even less sure.

In the past few days, the Wei army has been singing and dancing in peace.

The Jin Yiwei sent this time was enough for the soldiers of the Wei army to squander it for half a year.

Zhao Changqing was definitely not willing to make things easier for the Tang army when his troops were well-prepared.

After several days of fun, the officers and soldiers of the Wei army were already satisfied, and everyone began to fight with high morale.

Zhao Changqing wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to attack the city on a large scale.

Originally, the Tang army was prepared to relax its vigilance and let the soldiers have a good holiday, but they did not expect that at this juncture of the New Year, the enemy troops would actually launch a charge.

This was good, and the original plan to let the soldiers relax could only be shelved.

Wang Yunhe stood on the top of the city and scolded the Wei soldiers who were rushing towards them: "You are too careless! Even those who celebrate the New Year are coming to attack the city?!"

He said these words with inner strength, and his voice was extremely noisy.

Zuo Buqun and Fang Xin, who were on the side, had already organized soldiers to defend themselves.

As long as the enemy troops really dare to come, let them never come back.

However, looking at Wei Jun's posture, it doesn't seem to be fake.

Xiang Yu, who led the army to attack the city, had a hot temper. "The two armies are fighting, but why do you still care about your New Year celebrations? That's ridiculous! All soldiers, follow me and charge!"
