When Feng Yuheng returned to the hall again, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the fish in the four-color lake. Lu Shang apologized and nodded at Feng Yuheng. Xuan Tianming took the initiative to change the topic and said to Lu Shang
: "I appointed Zhao Tianqi, the former governor of Guanzhou, as the new governor of the northern border. I hope Lu Bo can cooperate with him. The northern border has made Duanmu Anguo a mess and it really needs to be rectified."
Lu Shang nodded, "Don't worry, Your Highness Ninth, I understand this. I am old and can't work for a few more years. The northern border still needs a younger governor who can take care of it for a few more years. Then Zhao Tianqi
He is considered a good official. Although he has been controlled by Duanmu Anguo before, he has not done anything harmful to nature. I have been to Guanzhou several times, and the people of Guanzhou speak highly of him."
Xuan Tian Ming said: "I think so too. Originally, this job should be taken over by Lu Bo. But although the northern border is divided into three provinces, Guanzhou and Songzhou are separated from here by the ghost pine forest. You come and go.
It's inconvenient. If you focus all your energy there, I'm afraid no one will be able to take over the political affairs of Jiangzhou for a while. What's more, Lu Bo, after all, Jiangzhou is the real border. You don't guard this border, father.
I won’t feel at ease either.”
Lu Shang waved his hands and sighed: "Even if I die, I will keep this Jiangzhou for the Emperor. Please rest assured, Your Highness and the Emperor." He thought for a moment and then told Xuan Tianming: "We have to reach Qianzhou.
The city of Bincheng must go around the Sise Lake and then pass through the North Gate Pass. There are no prefectures in Qianzhou, and each city has its own city lord, which is equivalent to the prefect of our Dashun. The North Gate Pass is better than
The Ghost Pine Forest is even more evil. Once you pass there, the weather will suddenly get cold. We must prevent any soldiers from freezing to death due to lack of precautions. This can be regarded as a kind of protection for Qian Zhou himself."
Hearing these words, Feng Yuheng frowned, and the nausea caused by the fish in Sise Lake was finally suppressed a little bit. She asked: "Why is Qianzhou so cold?" It can catch people off guard when they are not prepared.
It's freezing to death. It's not that cold in the North Pole. What's more, it's separated by a pass. Aren't there two worlds inside and outside the pass?
No one could answer this question. Lu Shang shook his head. He was a military general who defended his country and killed enemies. Analyzing this kind of problem was not his strong point.
Xuantian meditated for a while and said: "I have read ancient books. According to ancient books, more than five hundred years ago, Qianzhou was not as cold as it is now. Especially in several cities in the south, you can even see
When the sun is shining brightly, the lake surface of the Four Colors Lake also has a season of blooming. Of course, the southern city mentioned at that time must have included the three provinces in the north today, but it also included the several cities behind the North Gate Pass.
.However, in the following hundreds of years, Qianzhou became colder year by year. It seems that recently, every fifty years has been a node, and the climate will change drastically. Until within the past one hundred years, this time node will be
It has been reduced to once every ten years. In total, this year is another ten years, and the climate will change suddenly again within this year."
Feng Yuheng was still frowning in thought, and Lu Shang finally interjected: "This kind of coldness is not limited to Qianzhou, and it has also affected us here. After this new year, it is obviously much colder than before, especially
In Jiangzhou, to be honest with Your Highness, people are freezing to death every day. This is not because the government is not doing anything, but because even if those people are lying on the kang in their own homes, they may die and return to the west early the next morning."
As Lu Shang was talking, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly said: "By the way, there is something I don't know if you have heard of."
"What's the matter?" Xuan Tianming asked, "Songzhou has sunk the Winter Palace and has been trying its best to rescue it in the past few days. It didn't bother to inquire. I wonder what Lu Bo is talking about?"
Lu Shang said: "It's about the legendary Qian Zhou Dragon Vein." Seeing that Xuan Tianming didn't interrupt and waited for him to talk, Lu Shang knew that the other party must not know about this, so he quickly said: "Duanmu Anguo colluded with Qian Zhou.
This is not something that happened in a day or two. It is said that a section of the dragon vein is within the territory of the three northern provinces. People in Qianzhou have been asking about it for these years, but it was only within the past six months that they really couldn't wait to start digging."
Xuan Tianming heard the secret: "Duanmu Anguo released the Qianzhou people into the territory of Dashun. It can be seen that the benefits he received from it should be enough to support his ambition. Another point is that the Qianzhou people have a definite idea of the location of the dragon vein.
positioning?”
Feng Yuheng glanced at him in confusion. The golden mask was still on his face. Even if the one in Feng Jinyuan's hand was unreliable or had been obtained by Qian Zhou, the map was three points with only two pieces.
It is impossible to locate it accurately.
Xuan Tianming also knew that it was unlikely. After saying this, he immediately rejected the idea. Then he rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Qianzhou can't wait any longer!"
Lu Shang nodded, feeling a little excited. He stood up from his seat in a hurry, rubbed his hands constantly, and walked around the hall. When he finally stopped, he said again: "I think so too."
Yes! The place where they dug was between the two states of Songjiang. When the Qianzhou army entered the northern boundary, I gathered all the strength of Jiangzhou to block it, but Duanmu Anguo took out the northern boundary mobilization talisman, forcing the soldiers to give up resistance. The Qianzhou people
I entered the northern boundary by the way and started digging straight there. This excavation lasted half a year. During this period, I visited the area many times to personally inspect it, but I saw several quarrels between the officials responsible for digging for dragon veins in Qianzhou.
Get up. Obviously they are not sure about the location of the dragon vein."
Feng Yuheng answered, "Even though I'm not sure, I keep digging. It's a bit like hoping that a blind cat will encounter a dead mouse."
"Yes." Lu Shang nodded.
But I heard Xuan Tianming say something else: "It can be seen that Qianzhou is in urgent need of using the dragon vein treasure, and his royal family must have encountered a problem that has to use the life-saving vein."
But no one could figure out what this problem was. Feng Yuheng said in confusion: "But along the way, I didn't see the Qianzhou people digging for dragon veins. I heard from the Lotus King before that all the Qianzhou army had withdrawn.
Out."
"That's right." Lu Shang told them again: "They withdrew suddenly. Just overnight, the army at the excavation site stopped all their movements and quickly evacuated the northern boundary and returned to Qianzhou. On this point, I
I can’t figure it out even after thinking about it.”
Not only Lu Shang couldn't figure it out, Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng couldn't figure it out either, but everyone had a question mark in their mind - Qian Zhou, what accident happened?
The army rested in Jiangzhou for a few days. Lu Shang provided Xuan Tianming with a map of Bincheng, the first city in the Thousand Weeks, and also described in more detail the strange climate changes after passing the Beimen Pass.
Three days later, the army went on the road again, bypassing Sise Lake in a mighty manner, and finally stood in front of the North Gate Pass.
Spies from the front came to report that there were about 20,000 Qianzhou soldiers at Beimen Pass, guarding the gate tightly. However, the gate was not blocked with ice and stones, so the army could break through.
Blocking the door with ice and stone and sealing the wall with ice is a common practice in Qianzhou city defense. Beimen Pass is the boundary between the two countries, and there are large troops stationed on both sides. Although it is impossible to seal the wall with ice, the back of the door is not blocked.
It's a bit surprising.
Xuan Tianming used his internal power to order the three armies: "After closing the door and entering the icy zone, the cold air attacks the body and the temperature drops sharply. All soldiers should take good protection and act according to their ability. If they can, they will advance, and if they don't, they will retreat. Retreat rather than defeat.
Only living is the ultimate victory!"
On this day, the two armies faced each other, and the Dashun soldiers fought the most exciting battle since they entered the northern border. Under Xuan Tianming's command and Feng Yuheng's formation deployment, a large number of Qianzhou generals were led to the south of Guanmen.
The sheep entered the tiger's mouth directly. The Dashun pioneers who rushed into Beimen Pass also had sufficient psychological preparation and sufficient warm-up, and no soldiers died of freezing.
This battle came and went quickly. It only took three hours for the North Gate to be broken.
Feng Yuheng entered the gate together with the army. The moment he walked through the gate, the cold air suddenly hit. It was cold, not cold, the kind of cold that penetrated into the bone marrow invaded the body, directly penetrated the clothes and penetrated into the skin, sealing the body.
Under the flesh and blood.
She couldn't help shivering, and so did Xuan Tianming. Looking back at the soldiers of the three armies, some of them were so cold that they squatted on the ground with their arms wrapped around their knees, and those who could barely stand had their faces turned pale by the cold.
The lips are blue and white.
"We can't go on like this." Xuan Tianming said, "The weather is the main reason why Dashun has not attacked Qianzhou for so many years. Very few Dashun soldiers can still perform as usual in such weather, and on the other hand, Qianzhou
Soldiers, they have long been accustomed to such severe cold, and they are not afraid at all when they take action."
Feng Yuheng also knew this truth. She raised her eyes to the north and saw the vast ice field, but she didn't know how many cities their army could advance.
She began to take out a large amount of chocolates from the space, and passed them to the back one by one by the soldiers. If she encountered someone who was in poor health, she would leave two more. At the same time, she used a loudspeaker to say to the generals: "Although this thing is
It can't withstand the severe cold, but it can give you physical strength. Don't worry about what it is or where it comes from. Each of you should bring a few extra pieces with you. Eat some when you can't hold on. Don't be burdened. How far can we go?
Just go as far as you can.”
Xuan Tianming also arrived: "I still say what I said, survival is the key to victory. Da Shun never engages in human sea tactics and never fills the enemy's holes with people! After the Bin City in front is captured, whether to attack or retreat, then
Let’s discuss.”
In the twenty-third year of Tianwu, on February 28th, Xuantian Mingfeng Yuheng led an army of 100,000 to attack the first city of Qianzhou. One thousand of the army died and 6,000 were injured, including 5,000 with frostbite. A total of 30,000 enemy troops were wiped out.
Twenty thousand prisoners were taken.
The lord of Bincheng was forced to surrender.
The army entered the city and still set up camp in the city. Feng Yuheng set up the city lord's palace as a temporary medical center, distributed frostbite plasters, and diagnosed and treated the injured.
She took out a military temperature tester and put it in the yard. When she looked at it again half an hour later, the thermometer showed that the surface temperature here was minus 26 degrees, and the body temperature was over minus 35 degrees.
This temperature may not be a big problem for northern countries in later generations. The provinces closest to Russia in the northeastern region usually reach about minus 40 degrees below the surface in winter.
But today cannot be compared with later generations. In later generations, people traveled with cars and various means of transportation, which not only kept warm but also allowed them to move quickly. What's more, the clothes of later generations were also more advanced, and the measures to prevent colds were much better than now.
More than a hundred times more than that. There are no warmer clothes at the moment, and people exposed to such cold will suffer from mild frostbite.
Just as I was thinking about it, at this time, a comment came into my ears among the people of Qianzhou who were watching - "Can't stand it anymore? You still want to attack Qianzhou. According to me, at most two cities forward, these big
All the soldiers and horses who obey will freeze to death."
