Chapter 958 Going to Xiaoguan on a snowy night (3)
Author: gusty wind
Although he felt lonely, and although the cold wind was like a knife carved on his face, and even penetrated into his neck coldly, in fact, Li Shanneng could clearly feel that the whole army from top to bottom, although quiet, had a vigorous spirit.
Work hard.
This mainly came from the 500 Yanzhou soldiers Duan Decao selected from among the prisoners.
This long-distance attack was limited by the invisibility and the number of cotton armor, so the number of troops could not be thousands. Li Shan had carefully considered the specific selection.
Most of these five hundred Yanzhou soldiers were captured after fighting hard. They were all Yanzhou soldiers. They had been fighting with Liang Jun for many years. Both sides were already hostile and had personal hatred. Liang Division came to Yanzhou almost every year.
Although he was repeatedly defeated by Duan Decao in the Zhou Dynasty Fighting Autumn Wind, he still gained something every time. Otherwise, how could he have survived all these years?
And half a year ago, Duan Decao was defeated and captured. Would those Liang troops treat these Yanzhou soldiers politely?
Li Shan believes that hatred can maximize their potential... The refugees north of Xie Xuan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty formed the Beifu Army, and at the turn of the Song Dynasty, Yue Fei formed the Beiwei Army with the people in troubled times.
Qingshi’s powerful army.
The other three hundred people, part of them are Li Shan's personal guards, and the other part are selected from the Daizhou army brought by Xue Wanche and Zhang Shigui. Although it has been more than a year since they left Daizhou, the name of Handan King Li Huairen is still in Daizhou
Loudly, every soldier selected is deeply favored by Li Shan... What supports them is loyalty and gratitude.
Keep going, keep going, I don’t know how long it has passed, and I don’t know how long it will take to rest. The energy brought by the big meal and the bowl of pepper soup before departure has gradually been exhausted in the wind and snow, and Li Shan begins to feel
It was cold to the bone, and I was already shivering. I could clearly feel my body getting stiffer and stiffer, and I could only follow the inertia and reflexively step behind the person in front of me.
"Langjun." Qu Silang took out the gourd from his arms and said, "Sip the wine."
Li Shan hummed and took a small sip with his gourd mouth, "When you have a break, you can drink from me."
"It doesn't matter." Qu Silang said with a smile: "I am from Yunzhou, which is colder than Yuanzhou."
Li Shan forced a smile and saw a thin layer of snowflakes condensed on Qu Shilang's eyebrows, and stretched out his stiff right hand to wipe it.
"Come."
Qu Silang was stunned for a moment, tentatively stretched out his hand, and hesitantly wiped Li Shan's eyebrows, scraping off a layer of snowflakes.
Although Li Shan always chatted and laughed with his personal guards, such a situation was rare. Liu Heier looked at Qu Silang on the side. He heard Fan Shiyi say that this Qu Silang was greatly favored by the King of Handan and fought in Guji Town last year.
Later Wang Junhao reorganized the personal guard, and the first one he chose was Qu Shilang.
"Ah Hei, can you still hold on?"
They are all Zhu Ba's fellows. Now everyone calls me Ah Hei...Liu Heier couldn't laugh or cry. He just shook his head and said: "The grassland is colder than here...and this cotton armor is really good."
After a pause, Liu Heier emphasized again, "It's really nice, it's very warm."
"When Lingzhou and Huizhou are recovered, let your people choose a place to build houses to live in, and cultivate the land to grow cotton..." Li Shan said casually: "At that time, whatever you harvest can be sold for money or exchanged for food.
Change the cloth..."
Qu Silang grinned and said, "It would be better to go to Longzhou or Qinzhou. Mr. Lang has a fiefdom there, but it is still vacant now."
Liu Heier touched the cotton armor on his body and grinned, "It's all at your discretion."
After a few simple words, everyone stopped talking. Talking also takes energy. Silence fell again. Everyone waved their arms mechanically, moved their legs mechanically, and kept moving forward along the path explored by the scouts.
Li Shan tried his best to think of something in his mind to distract himself from thinking about his shivering body and his possibly wet cotton armor.
Countless people, countless things, from the past life, from this life, flashed through his mind like a revolving door. Li Shan suddenly and inexplicably remembered the old news he had seen on the Internet in his previous life, about the time when he walked through Lop Nur and died unfortunately.
Yu Chunshun was just the opposite of him. What killed him was not the cold, but the scorching heat.
But what directly led to Yu Chunshun's death was getting lost, failing to find the pre-buried supplies, lack of water, and high temperatures, which ultimately led to the tragedy... Li Shan couldn't help but wonder, would he get lost?
In other words, will Huangfu Zhong, Fan Shiyi and those scouts get lost?
Will they be able to find their pre-selected destination?
If they can't find it, there will be no supplies, and hunger, cold, and the coming night will ruthlessly destroy the army.
Can they successfully cross the Rushui River and Hulu River with the entire army and reach Xiaoguan?
If not, will I get lost in this vast snow?
If you get lost, will you and these eight hundred warriors still have a chance to survive?
Li Shan suddenly felt that he was not rational enough. He had already done so much preparation work, why did he have to go into battle in person?
But the next moment, Li Shan shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to get this idea out of his mind. Since he had done so much preparation, why couldn't he go into battle in person?
"Mr. Lang?"
Liu Heier's inquiry came from beside him, and Li Shan continued to move forward without saying a word, trying desperately to think about other things. He didn't think he really regretted it, but just showed weakness when he encountered difficulties.
In his previous life, Li Shan had experienced similar hardships many times. In the eyes of outsiders, he had always worked hard and never retreated, but who knew that deep down in his heart, he also had weaknesses.
Li Shan doesn't think it's his fault, nor does he think similar emotions shouldn't occur. Anyone in such an environment will always have some thoughts.
Some people will choose to give up when they feel weak, but after I feel weak, I will just keep moving forward.
Li Shan suddenly remembered that one winter seemed to be so cold. He was frugally saving money at school. On the day of the winter vacation, he only had money for the ticket home. As a result, he was blocked by a few gangsters when he left school.
In the alley... In the end, I walked for more than nine hours in the wind and snow before returning to the village.
The hardships along the way seemed to be no less than today. Li Shan's thoughts spread. Those gangsters still remembered that two thieves were sent to the sewing machine, one was sent to the hospital with a sap from behind, and the last one was sent to the hospital.
During the winter vacation of my sophomore year, my grandparents passed away, so I found an opportunity to break his calf.
It sounds a bit reckless. If the guy hadn't been such a mess, I guess the town police station wouldn't have let him off so easily.
Just as he was thinking about it, Qu Shiro beside him suddenly grabbed his arm and said, "Lang Jun, we're here, we're finally here!"
Li Shan raised his head blankly and opened his bamboo hat. In front of him was a valley with stone walls sunken inward and covered by mountains on both sides. A dozen scouts were waving to him from there.
Let’s just say, I won’t be so unlucky and I should give myself more confidence.
Li Shan looked at Liu Heier next to him and tried his best to smile... I was ready, but unfortunately the muscles on his face seemed to be stiff from the cold, and he ended up with an expressionless face.
