If you don't take action in 1929, you can walk on the ice in 3949.
But a certain country time traveler expressed dissatisfaction:
Not only do I have to take action, I also have to walk on the ice!
So in the severe winter of March 9th, when General Zhendong led his army out of the fortress, in Luoyang in the south, Jiang Wei also led his men and horses on the thick ice-covered river.
Over the years, the elites of the Han army have always had winter training as a training program.
Of course, Luoyang's defenders cannot all be elite.
But the Tiger Infantry Army led by Jiang Wei is one of the eight armies in the pass and must be considered elite.
Wear a fur hat on your head, with thick ear protection on both sides, and then put on a thick cloth mask. Except for your eyes and eyebrows, your mouth, nose, and ears are fully protected.
Iron armor must not be worn anymore. Otherwise, if you wear it so thickly and put an iron armor on top, even if you can stand up, whether you can take steps is still a problem.
At most, I'm wearing leather armor, which can provide some added protection.
Some of the soldiers crossing the river had cold eyes and were focused on their journey.
But some people's eyes were shining, looking towards the other side that was vaguely visible in front of them, full of longing:
"Finally we're crossing the river!"
When the team leader who was concentrating on the road next to him heard this, he sprayed out a mouthful of white mist and scolded:
"Concentrate on marching and don't think about what you have or don't have?"
After a pause, he glanced ahead and couldn't help but mutter: "Maybe it's just crossing the river to practice?"
"ah?"
The soldiers around him are fellow villagers, and now they are eating in the same manger, and they are often taken care of by the team leader.
He knew that the fellow who led the team in front of him did not hold a high position in the army, but he had actually been in the army for more than ten years.
If I hadn't been unable to keep up with literacy, I might have become a school captain or something.
When he heard what the other party said, he subconsciously looked at his attire and found that he had everything.
Look at the colleagues around you, they are like a forest of guns and halberds.
That's right, everything is very standard preparation before the battle.
And is this direction going to the other side?
The other side is Hanoi, right?
Hanoi...is owned by thieves, right?
No one said anything about going to the territory occupied by thieves for training?
As if he saw the little fellow's doubts, the team leader raised his head and glanced ahead, half answering and half muttering to himself:
"With this weather, even if the gods come, they won't be able to attack the city!"
Unless the thieves are willing to abandon their violence and return to the right path, they will open the city gate to welcome the king.
Otherwise, the army would cross the river in such a swagger, and the thieves were not blind. They would just close the city gate, and most of the army would just stare at it outside the city.
Of course, the general may have other ideas?
Maybe you have other ideas?
That's not something people like me can figure out.
Jiang Ji, who led the army to defend Hanoi, could naturally think of the issue that even the team rate was taken into consideration in the Han army.
But he didn't dare to gamble.
Because the Han army crossed Hebei from Mengjin to attack the city and plunder the territory, the first county that was likely to suffer was most likely Wen County.
Where is Wen County?
That was Taifu Sima's hometown.
The foundation of the Sima family elected by Hebei and even the great Wei family.
If something unexpected happened due to his own negligence, Taifu Sima would wipe his neck and commit suicide without even opening his mouth.
The old man, who was almost sixty years old, received an urgent report that there was movement in the Han army in Luoyang, and he was so anxious in the middle of winter.
He said "Ouch" and hurried to Yecheng to send an emergency report. At the same time, he rushed from Zhiguan to Wenxian County.
Although there was movement on the other side of Zhiguan, he knew that the problem was not big.
Because Feng Thief had already transferred from Hedong to Taiyuan.
The Han army without Feng thief and the Han army with Feng thief are two different concepts.
What he was afraid of was not the Han army, but the Han army with the Feng thief.
Otherwise, in the middle of winter, would he be afraid that his opponents would cross the mountains and cross the Zhiguan Pass secretly?
In the last month of the ninth year of Yanxi, the Han Dynasty divided its army into five groups to attack the bandits.
The Luoyang army led by Zhennan general Jiang Wei was the first to make a breakthrough, and its troops were directed towards Wen County, Hanoi.
The first battle report of this expedition against the bandits was sent back to Chang'an, which quite inspired some people.
"Jiang Boyue is still very powerful. Whether it's the battle in Guanzhong or the recapture of Luoyang, he can be said to use his troops as fast as the wind. This time, he is the first to fight against the thieves."
"That's right, this man was the general that the Prime Minister valued most during his lifetime. He once said that he was good at military affairs. When did the Prime Minister make any mistakes?"
"It's a joke! Wasn't the person whom the Prime Minister valued most during his lifetime not the Great Sima? How come he became Jiang Zhennan?"
When someone choked on this sentence, someone immediately became anxious:
"Da Sima... Can Da Sima be the same? The generals I mentioned naturally do not include Da Sima."
Comparing Da Sima with those generals of the Han Dynasty, isn't that bullying?
In the past, it was said that Feng Da Sima was a disciple of the Shanmen. Later, the news came out from unknown sources, saying that there was someone from the Shanmen. It was not a mountain sect at all, but an immortal sect.
Wei Boyang knows about cutting?
Yes, yes, that's the immortal who wrote "Book of Changes Shen Tong Qi" and finally became an immortal in Fengming Cave of Fengming Mountain in Shangyu.
At that time, he brought three disciples to cultivate immortality. One of them became an immortal, while two others gave up halfway and returned to their hometown because of their weak desire to cultivate immortality.
One of the two disciples who failed to become an immortal was named Feng Liang.
I heard that Feng Liang, after returning from Fengming Mountain, received a letter from his master one day and learned that his master had become an immortal. He regretted it beyond words.
Now you know?
Feng Da Sima is also named Feng!
Guess what is the relationship between Feng Da Sima and Wei Boyang’s disciple named Feng?
Feng Da Sima went crazy and went into the mountain. After coming out of the mountain, he behaved strangely. People at the time thought he was suffering from a disease.
In fact, it was because I met the ancestor of my sect, Immortal Wei, in the mountains and received enlightenment from the immortal.
Therefore, it is not a disease at all. Those who speak strangely must be different from ordinary people.
Do you know what it means to have people on the mountain?
How can secular people be compared with the children of immortals?
Of course, there are also rumors saying that this rumor actually came from Wudi, which is simply not credible.
It was the people of Wu who wanted to put money on their faces, so they found Feng Da Sima a divine master from Wu.
(Note: Wei Boyang is from Shangyu, Kuaiji)
But no matter what, the fact that Feng was related to the legendary immortal not only did not surprise people, but also made many people think it was reasonable.
It is enough to show that Feng's identity as a disciple of the Mountain (Immortal) Sect has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Of course, although General Zhennan is not as good as Feng Da Sima, he has to admit that he is also very powerful.
At least after the news reached Chang'an, the people and even some middle and low-level officials were happy and excited.
The big guy wins again!
Folk "think tanks" and "folk masters" are all in the market, after tea and dinner, giving advice and inspiring words:
Wen County is the base of the old thief Sima. General Zhennan led his troops to surround Wen County, which can be said to be a knife thrust into the heart of the thief.
Not only did it greatly frighten the thieves, but it also strategically mobilized the thieves' forces and made them exhausted, which created opportunities for other armies.
Wonderful!
After hearing the lofty opinions of these "folk think tanks", the people all followed the climax:
How wonderful!
…
Compared with the excitement of the common people, the reaction of the imperial court to this matter was somewhat dull.
After hearing the news, the court officials with a salary of less than 600 shi from outside the court were still wondering whether they should ponder the speeches or memorials at the court meeting, join in the fun, and follow the boss to say a congratulatory message or something.
Who would have expected that the big bosses would not have any reaction to this good news, but at least they would have almost no major reaction.
This made all the middle and lower-level court officials who had already thought of their words feel a little puzzled:
Could it be that the big guys have some opinions on General Zhennan?
If not, why was the response so cold?
Of course the big guys don't have any objections to Jiang Wei.
In this war-torn era, who hasn't seen a few storms if he can stand in the palace during the court meeting instead of standing in the corridor outside the palace?
Even Liu Yan, who gained a high position through Qingtan and clan status, followed Emperor Zhaolie around in his early years, fighting in the north and south.
I have seen with my own eyes or heard with my own ears the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Hanzhong, the Battle of Yiling, the Longyou Northern Expedition and other battles.
The knowledge must not be too bad.
Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running?
During the coldest time of the year, Hanoi is not a Shu land.
The snow is spicy, hot and thick. No matter how elite the Han soldiers are, no matter how good they are at fighting, they cannot attack the city at this time.
At most, it can scare the thieves, warm up the scene and heighten the atmosphere for this thieves attack.
Although Wen County is the hometown of the Sima family, Sima Yi was not a fool and had already moved the core members of the Sima family away from Wen County.
How could he still let his clan stay there?
Those who still stay in Wen County and have the surname Sima are, at best, some collateral descendants.
According to the news coming back from various channels, although the current seat of Hanoi County is Huai County, when it comes to the height and thickness of the city walls, Huai County may not be able to compare with Wen County.
When it was determined to abandon Luoyang, or to say that Hangu Pass was lost and Luoyang could not be defended, Wen County, as a possible front line and the hometown of the Sima family, had already been continuously increasing the height and thickening of the city wall.
I heard that the person who presided over the expansion was Ma Jun, a famous craftsman from Wei State, and Ma Deheng.
After sparing no effort to expand in the past few years, it is said that the city wall in Wen County is now taller and thicker than that in Huai County.
The river opens in the seventh and ninth months, and the swallows come in the eighth and ninth.
From March 9th to July 9th, it only lasts for a month at most.
By July 9, the river begins to thaw.
During the thaw period, the river is half ice and half water, making it impossible to walk on the river and impassable to ships.
At that time, if Jiang Zhennan cannot capture Wen County or other footholds, and the army does not return to Henan in time, there will be no way forward and no way back, then it will be dangerous.
But in winter, how difficult is it to capture a big city in a month?
Therefore, not to mention the big shots in the court, even Fatty Liu who doesn't care about the government affairs all day long and only thinks about eating, drinking and having fun, all know that Jiang Boyue's troops are coming to Wen County. Although the momentum is huge, in fact it is just for the sake of momentum.
vast.
No matter how much government affairs are left to the Chancellor, he still knows that most of the various materials shipped from Liangzhou to Guanzhong from Shu this year have been transferred to Bingzhou.
Luoyang didn't get much at all.
Therefore, the intention of my brother-in-law is also obvious, Luoyang is not the main direction of attack.
Even if a Hongnong Wang family stood up and knelt down halfway, the money and food they could provide would not be enough to support Luoyang's army in a battle that did not know when it would end.
Otherwise, Wang Jun would not have been taken away by his brother-in-law, but would have been placed directly in Luoyang to serve as an intermediary between the Hongnong Wang family and the Luoyang army.
"We still have to wait for Mingwen to take action!"
Fatty Liu was half-lying on a recliner, threw the official battle report on the desk, and said something in a wan tone.
Even if you don't take action, it's not very interesting.
It's almost the end of the year, and except for the Eastern Expedition, there are basically no major events.
If it were not for the fear of spitting from the DPRK ministers, Adou would even want to cancel the last few DPRK meetings this year.
There was a bright copper stove with clean coal burning on it. Above the copper stove, there was a thick iron pipe that led the gas to the outside.
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
The heat radiated from the copper stove and iron pipes makes the whole house as warm as spring, making people feel so warm that they don't want to move.
"It's still of some use," the queen who was sitting next to her picked up the official document and took a look at it and said with a smile, "I heard that Jiang Bo asked troops to surround Wen County. The people and officials were very excited. It can be regarded as a promotion for the government and the public. Morale is up.”
Although the Queen was forced to withdraw from Weiyang Palace a few years ago and lived in Gui Palace.
But he couldn't stand the deep love between the emperor and the empress, so Fatty Liu didn't mind the trouble and often ran to the empress.
Especially when she was criticized by Dong Yun and others, she always sought comfort from the Queen.
Therefore, although the queen said she could no longer interfere in the government affairs, she still had plenty of ears and eyes.
"Forget it." When Adou heard this, he smiled meaningfully, "It can always stop some people's mouths."
As the Han Dynasty continued to regain old territories, the game between the various forces became more and more intense, whether in the DPRK, China or at the local level.
Even if the Han Dynasty only has one place in Yizhou and his father-in-law is still there, there are still people like Liao Li who will jump out and point fingers.
Not to mention that the Han Dynasty has now recovered nearly half of the old territory.
Instruct the prime ministers and assistants to govern the world, instruct the generals to conquer the world, instruct the court to negotiate with other countries...
In recent years, the Han Dynasty has produced too much food, which has overfed the so-called wise men.
Like his father-in-law, Li Miao was also dissatisfied and even wanted to inflict crimes on the Yi people.
Not to mention that my brother-in-law has been stained with the blood of many aristocratic families over the years.
Anything that doesn't exist must be smeared by rumors and rumors.
It goes against common sense to force troops to be sent out in the middle of winter. I don’t know how many people are waiting to see the joke.
If there really is no movement throughout the winter, I'm afraid the rumor that "Feng doesn't know how to fight will waste people and money" will spread.
Jiang Boyue's sudden move may not have been part of his brother-in-law's calculations.
Seeing the emperor's full confidence in Mr. Feng, the queen was also a little helpless.
These days, we are not afraid of competition from the concubines in the palace, but we are afraid that men from outside the palace will steal the emperor's heart. Who can we reason with?
The Queen's attitude towards Feng Mingwen's brother-in-law was also extremely complicated.
There is love, and there is resentment—when it comes to hate, it doesn’t really count.
The two most proud investments in my life were both made by Feng Mingwen.
One is that he gave Feng Mingwen strong support when he started his business.
This investment brought extremely generous dividends to the royal family.
It was so rich that he even overestimated his capabilities and wanted to use the inner government to rebuild the Northern and Southern Army, and it was also the type of armored cavalry.
Although he gave up halfway, it can be imagined how rich the imperial family was for the emperor and empress to have such thoughts.
The second investment is to try every means to send Siniang to Feng Mingwen's bed.
This move firmly tied Feng Mingwen to the royal family - it was a pity that His Majesty did not have sisters or daughters of the right age, otherwise the bond could have been stronger.
Why did she dare to be so provocative a few years ago?
It was because she knew that with this relationship, it was impossible for Feng Mingwen to do anything to her.
The worst-case scenario is to bow your head and admit defeat.
Of course, if she wins, nothing will happen to Feng Mingwen - slightly changing the system of "the palace and the palace are all integrated" would not be a bad thing for the royal family, right?
Anyway, the Prime Minister is no longer here.
It's a pity that we lost...
The situation of the Han Dynasty's "virtual king in reality" has not changed at all, but has become more and more popular among the people.
Thinking of this, the queen took a look at the emperor who was lying lazily, not wanting to move and showing no signs of progress, and she felt even more helpless.
The war in Hebei is about to begin, and everything in the palace and mansion is calm.
