Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 240 Respite
The cold wind howled, and a thick cloud of sadness also shrouded the hearts of the soldiers of the Beifu Army.The sudden blizzard forced the Beifu army to stop all military operations.It's just that in the cold wave blowing from Siberia, there is a faint smell of blood.

In the tent of the Beifu army's central commander, more than a dozen braziers were burning.With the blazing brazier, the faces of the generals in the big tent were flushed red.However, inside the big tent was bitingly cold.

Gao Jingzong rubbed his hands, stomped his feet in thought, and asked slowly: "Chen Sima, how are the warm clothes for our soldiers and civilians prepared? Are there any gaps?"

Chen Yingshang didn't speak, but Xu Jingxuan said directly: "Captain, this matter is not the most important right now, the most important thing is to find out the ghosts inside us."

"This matter is not important? Then what is important?" Gao Jingzong said: "We now have nearly a million soldiers and civilians. The weather is so cold that people will freeze to death if we are not careful. This is not to freeze to death one or two. It is tens of thousands, even 10,000+ people will freeze to death. Is the life of the governor more important than the lives of tens of thousands of people? They are all raised by fathers and mothers, who is more noble than whom?"

"Captain, what Jing Xuan said must be treated with caution!" Chen Yingdao: "If this inner ghost is not eliminated for a day, the security issue of the governor will not be resolved for a day. How can this make the 30 soldiers of the Beifu Army feel at ease? "

"Wei Dafu, how did you protect the governor?" Cui Yao stood up and shouted at Xu Jingxuan in a cold voice: "And your inner guards, you can't even catch a living person!"

"I admit, this is my dereliction of duty!" Xu Jingxuan said: "This person is obviously a dead man. Even if we are caught, we will not get any beneficial information. If not, we will be misled by him!"

Gao Jingzong said: "It doesn't matter if you get caught or not. This question is not difficult to guess, just think about who will benefit the most, and whoever has the motive to kill!"

Xu Jingxuan opened his mouth and said, "Four..."

Gao Jingzong stepped forward and pointed at Xu Jingxuan, Xu Jingxuan quickly shut up.

Gao Jingzong said: "It's the court of the Yan Kingdom. Obviously, no one, except the white captives of the Yan Kingdom, would deal with the governor so viciously! However, this issue does not need to be discussed for the time being. We can discuss how to solve it first. Soldiers and civilians heating problem! Chen Sima, how many warm clothes do we lack now?"

Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "Commander, almost one-third of the army is short. As for the people..."

Cui Zhi said without hesitation: "The people lack more clothes. Almost half of the people are naked. As for the warm clothes, less than [-]% of the people have them. This winter is very difficult!"

Without waiting for Gao Jingzong to ask questions, Chen Ying said, "Commander, it's really hard to buy these warm clothes. The weather in the Southern Jin Dynasty is warm, and there is no need for many winter clothes. Now that Yan and Qin are both hostile sides, I'm afraid it's not easy to buy!"

"It's not easy to buy!" Gao Jingzong said sadly: "People die for money, birds die for food, and there are many people who take risks for profit. You can try it. Even if they talk like a lion, we will admit it. Anyway, these money They can't eat it either, so we can put it in their place for the time being, and we can take it back when the time comes!"

Chen Yingdao: "It's just that there is too little time, the common people can't last a few days in such cold weather."

An idea flashed in Gao Jingzong's head, and he suddenly thought that in the remote areas of Xinjiang in later generations, there was no unified urban heating system, and the local people used the direction of building fire walls and fire pits to keep warm.

Gao Jingzong said: "Then use the fire wall and fire pit to deal with it for the time being."

After learning, Gao Jingzong picked up a quill pen and drew on the paper the kind of fire wall drawings of later generations. Gao Jingzong introduced: "It must be ensured that the common people can be properly resettled. If there is no housing resettlement, then use our house in Sui County. The trenches and traffic roads dug outside are covered with weeds and ventilated. They are better than sleeping in the wild. They really can’t accommodate the people. Then organize them to dig nests and overcome the difficulties in front of them first. Say it again!"

"Dig?" Cui Yi shook his head and said, "Commander, you think too simply. Now it's almost frozen into ice, and the ground is as hard as a rock. If you go down one end, there will be a white seal. I'm afraid you won't be able to dig it out in ten and a half months." How many nests!"

"Hey!" Gao Jingzong sighed and said, "Of course it won't work if you dig directly, can't you change your mind?"

Cui Cheng asked suspiciously: "Changing your mind?"

"That's right!" Gao Jingzong said with a smile: "The frozen soil is less than one foot thick now, so it's definitely not easy to dig directly. Isn't it easy to burn a fire on the ground first to melt the frozen soil and then dig?"

……

The hall of Taiwu was filled with a strong smell of medicine. Murong Juan lay sideways on the couch, his eyes dim and lifeless, letting the serving Zhongchang attendant tidy up, the sound of footsteps outside made his muddy pupils brighten up, With difficulty, he turned his head towards the door.

Huangfu came in from the outside with a dejected expression on his face, with a bit of shame and sullenness on his face, which made all the maids and eunuchs in the hall look terrified.In recent days, His Majesty's health is getting worse and worse, but his temper is terribly irritable, and he will whip the maids and eunuchs at every turn. In just a few days, more than ten people have been beaten to death. I don't know who will be unlucky today up.

Huangfu really came to the bed, but before he opened his mouth, Murong Juan waved away all the eunuchs and maids, leaving only Murong Ping and Empress Kezuhun.

Huangfu really knelt down, with a wry smile on his face: "I have failed His Majesty's high expectations!"

Speaking of Huangfu's attitude and answer when he will meet Gao Jingzong, he narrated it to Murong Jun and Murong Ping.

Rong Ping was furious: "We must send troops to exterminate this beast. Gao Jingzong's son is so rampant. If he is allowed to go like this, what kind of grace will I have? The hearts of the people in the world will also be lost overnight."

"Suppression? It's easy to say!" Murong Juan snorted coldly with a strong spirit, "Suppression...suppression...suppression, what are you going to use to suppress it? I'm afraid Gao Jingzong's son will be able to fight Yecheng in less than a month."

Murong Ping was shocked: "What should I do?"

"Fighting is definitely impossible!" Huangfu said timidly: "Now my treasury is empty, and there are internal and external troubles. Your Majesty's health is quite bad. It's good that the king of Taiyuan can keep Dingxiang. He definitely doesn't have the energy to fight. This battle. In other words, if there is a war, the northern army will not have reinforcements. Do you think that with Mu Yugen's [-] troops, he can defeat Gao Jingzong?"

Murong Ping shook his head: "It is said that when Gao Jingzong broke the city,..."

"That's nonsense." Huangfu really interrupted Zhang Xi and said: "You don't speak strange powers, the most important thing is that today, the generals of Dayan are afraid of Gao Jingzong like a tiger, but Gao Jingzong has nothing to do. The world's momentum is irreversible. curbed.

Murong Juan's face became even more gloomy, he didn't raise his breath, and his face flushed immediately.

Seeing this, Ke Zuhun quickly stepped forward, smoothing out Murong Juan's tone.Kezu Hun's family comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, God is still attached to Dayan. The heavy snowfall at this time is not only a bad thing, but a good thing. Now that the Beifu army can't march, our Dayan has gained respite again. Opportunity, and our Dayan may not have a chance to break through the crisis!"

　really busy.
