.This year's Hedong feels colder than in previous years and the cold winter comes faster.

The whistling north wind smacked with snow particles and raindrops, and the sound of the armor was hit on the surface of the armor with a loud sound. The iron black bright light armor was placed on the body, making people feel as if they were frozen in a large piece of ice.

This is the first snow in Hedong this year. It has arrived early on the 11th. The rain and snow fell down one after another. It was not heavy snow, but it was the snow particles that made people feel painful on the face. The snow particles mixed with rain, and some of them had not yet fallen to the ground, but had already mixed together in the north wind and rain water. It fell on the body but was cold and sticky. The two alternately fell on people and livestock, and a thick layer was frozen in the blink of an eye.

This kind of armor condensed by ice looks very spectacular from a distance, especially when the large group of people lined up like a silver-black steel dragon rolling between heaven and earth. But the people wrapped under the ice armor were extremely uncomfortable. The snow water melted by the body temperature penetrated into the inner layer of clothes along the collar, the gaps in the chest and armor, and all possible places, and penetrated into the inner layer of clothes until the depths of the bone marrow. But you can't reach out to wipe it, because once you move, the north wind that was already looking for a gap to drill into your body will immediately bring snow particles into the back, and the only place on the front of the chest and abdomen.

"Ah! He fucked to death!"

Finally, someone in the team couldn't stand it anymore. It was a young man in his twenties who was flushed with a cold face. In the snow and rain, his teeth were already trembling. The cloak on his body was already wet, and the little heat on his body was constantly lost with the heat that kept rising out.

A dark-faced veteran looked at the young man, smiled with white teeth, untied the wine bag on his waist and handed it over, "It's okay if you come to the couple, you don't look like you grew up in the north."

"Thank you, my husband!" The young man quickly took the wine bag, opened his neck tremblingly, and poured a large sip of wine. The wine entered his throat. The young man immediately felt like a ray of fire spreading down from his throat and rushing into his lower abdomen. The rushing and hot flames made the young man's face turn redder.

His eyes suddenly became extremely bright, and the young man seemed to wake up from the freezing. The comfortable feeling made him tremble. He let out a long breath, and the young man handed the wine bag back to the team leader and said gratefully, "Boy, I am from Huainan. Because my father worked with His Highness Chen, he moved to Liaodong with his mother this year. I have never seen such cold weather in Huainan. I feel like I am almost frozen."

When the old man heard that the young man's father was actually playing with King Chen, his expression lit up, and even his attitude became closer.

"I wonder which unit Ling Zun is next to His Highness Chen, is it Yulin Guard or Jinwu Guard?"

"It's the Royal Guard with Swordsman beside His Highness!" When the young man said this, he was much more energetic and he felt indescribable pride in his expression.

The old guy opened his mouth wide, and his eyes were filled with admiration and respect.

"The Royal Guard with Silver Armor, is really amazing. He is the second only to the Royal Guard with Golden Armor. I heard that there are only 1,080 guards with Silver Armor, and Ling Zun can actually hold this position. It is really envious to play with His Highness. By the way, since Ling Zun is an Royal Guard with Silver Armor, as usual, shouldn't you go to the Pojun Martial Arts Hall to enter the non-commissioned officer training camp? Why did you get down there?"

The young man smiled slightly, "I just finished my teaching in the non-commissioned officer training camp for half a year. Originally, the top was divided into the Jinwu Guard as an intern. However, my father disagreed. He said that he was still young and should go to the lower house to exercise more and receive more tempering. This time, my father knew that His Highness King Chen transferred General Wang to Hedong, so he specially asked Chief Chen to plead with him, so he allowed me to join General Wang's command to enter Hedong."

After hearing this, the old troupe couldn't help but feel respect. Unexpectedly, this young rookie recruit was not only the son of the seventh-grade imperial guard with swords, but also unexpectedly, he was already a young officer who graduated from the Pojun Martial Arts Hall at such an age. He knew that His Highness attached great importance to the Pojun Martial Arts Hall. It was rumored in the army that any officer who could learn from the Pojun Martial Arts Hall was the most favored elite in the army and would receive more appreciation after graduation. But he did not expect that the young man had no arrogance at all, and he was so polite to himself, the old man.

The old man stretched out his rough hand and patted the young man on the shoulder, and smiled, "Don't worry, I will help you hide your identity and do it well. You have a bright future. This time, Your Highness transferred Marshal Wang to Hedong, and only 5,000 troops were transferred. But I heard that Your Highness attached great importance to the matter in Hedong. Before leaving the capital, Marshal Wang was summoned to the palace by His Highness Chen to talk to him for a whole day. If you enter Hedong this time, as long as you perform well, you will definitely get more military achievements than in other places. If you stay in Hedong for two or three years and pacify Hedong, I am afraid that you may be promoted to the same level as Lingzun."

The young man smiled, showing his neat teeth, and his eyes looking into the distance were filled with the desire and confidence to make achievements.

Just a few days ago, Chen Kefu recalled Wang Rengong, a veteran general who was in charge of the garrison, and then talked with Wang Rengong for a full day. Chen Kefu immediately ordered Wang Rengong to be the chief marching manager of the Western Expedition Camp, appointed Changsun Wuji as the chief marching officer, Luo Lin as the deputy chief marching officer, Zhang Jin as the marching Sima, and Yuchi Gong as the marching vanguard. He immediately led 5,000 light cavalry to cross the Taihang Mountains, out of Feihu Pass, and into Hedong, to attack Li Yuan, the father and son of the minister who killed the king and planned to rebel.

Chen Kefu's original plan was to personally lead the army into Hedong, and to destroy it first while the Li family was in danger. However, now the Liaodong Army has started fighting in three battlefields in Jiangdu, Shandong and Hebei. Moreover, Hebei has severe food shortage. Although he has come up with one way to raise food, it will still not be completely solved in the short term. If the army is transferred to Hedong, this heavy logistics supply problem will be difficult to solve. Moreover, it is winter now, and it is rainy and snowy. Facing the high Taihang Mountains, there is food, but it is very difficult to cross the Taihang Mountains and replenish a large army in the west.

The reasons for the past and later forced Chen Kefu to temporarily adjust his strategy against Hedong. He stopped the full-scale war against Hedong by the army, and instead sent Wang Rengong, who had served as the prefect in Mayi and was very familiar with Hedong. He led a light cavalry to Hedong and asked him to open up the Hedong battlefield first. After the spring of the next year, the food problem will be resolved and the situation in Hebei and Shandong will ease, he will then mobilize the army to Hedong.

Feihu Xing, also known as Feihukou. This pass is located in the north of Laiyuan County and Wei County, Hebei Province. It stands two cliffs, with a slightly connected line, and more than a hundred miles of flowers. The ancients said: Flying foxes, stalking and stalking, stalking, and rushing towards You, and Yan. The most beautiful place.

At this time, in this narrow passage, five thousand cavalry dismounted and moved slowly, and the entire team was pulled into a long silver-black dragon.

"Bad boys, shut up. I can't stand the coldness. Then you can go back to Beijing as soon as possible and go home to drink your mother's milk. My Westward Camp is not a visit to Hedong to find the Kiln Sister. My Westward Camp is going to find the bad luck of the regicide Li Yuan and his son, and to make achievements. He is a man, so he cheers me up. Whoever asks me to strip him naked and throw it into the ice cave!"

Wang Rengong rode on the horse. Standing on a small high slope beside the road, the rain and snow all over the sky made him also have a layer of white frost armor, and even his white beard was frozen by the snow. He glared at the soldiers called Leng and laughed and scolded him.

"It's hot for me to run. When I arrive at the Black Mountain Basin, there are already ready roasted golden fat sheep and delicious spirits! I'll give you a day off to recuperate. After taking a hot hot bath, as long as you have money, you can find two white and greasy women to enjoy."

"Oh!" The sluggish soldiers instantly recovered a little energy and shouted at Bai Yan. The warm and soft woman in the house made everyone saliva.

Feihu Xing is different from other Taihang Xings. Most of the other passes are one pass and only two places. However, Feihu Xing connects many places. Feihu Xing starts from Laiyuan, Hebei, passes through Shangzhuang, Chadao, and north to Weixian in Hedong. It is an important road connecting the Hu of Yanzhao in history. It is also an important pass that goes north to Turks, Liaodong, west to Hedong, Guanlong, Hexi, south to Henan, and Jianghuai.

This passage is not only a key military strategist, but also a must-pass place for vendors from both north and south over the years.

The merchants and mule gangs transporting goods from Feihu Xing were in groups, and merchants carried mules with donkeys to transport various supplies, continuously and continuously, traveling between the Feihu Ancient Road day and night. When these mule gangs went north, they carried silk, tea, daily necessities from the south of the Yangtze River, small local cloth in the Central Plains, red dates, persimmons, walnuts, etc. After passing the Feihu Ancient Road, some went to Zhuojun, and some unloaded goods along the way, which was the end point; some crossed Zhuojun and went straight to Yanmen Mayi. Or continued to cross the big ones

The desert walked towards the Turkic grassland. When I turned south, I transported the grassland and fur, meat, dairy products, miscellaneous grains, old wine, as well as the hemp ropes, medicinal materials, millet, window flowers, casseroles, large urns, etc. from Yanmen, Mayi, crossed the Feihu Ancient Road, headed to the Hebei Plain, and headed to the Bohai Sea in Zhuojun, along the canal to the south of the Jianghuai Ling, leading to the dock of Jianghan Jingzhou. The northern entrance of the Feihu Ancient Road became a distribution center for north-south supplies. People called it the North-exit dry wharf. Over time, the market here flourished and gradually formed a town.

In the past, the imperial court also set up a yamen here to conquer the sharp enemy, but did not build a city. After the Liaodong army headed south, it immediately seized and controlled Feihu Xing. From Laiyuan to the northeast, the Liaodong army built a Heishan Fortress at this high point, with a thousand soldiers stationed. Heishan Fortress is located in the watershed between the Laiyuan Basin and the Huliu River Valley. There is a large rift valley in Cuiping Mountain north, also known as Feihu Canyon.

The north side of the Great Rift Valley of Cuiping Mountain is the Beikou Market. Cuiping Mountain blocks its way here like a wall. The ancient Feihu Pass that guards the north entrance of Feihu Xing is here, but the Guancheng was disrepaired in the early years and only left an enemy platform nearby. Luo Zhong, the old general stationed in Feihu Xing, was stationed in Feihu, Puyin Xing and Jingxing, the three Xings of Jingxing. After he arrived, he immediately built a Heishan Bucket on the Beishan Mountain, and a very strong Guancheng Feihu Pass at the north entrance of the canyon at the foot of the mountain. In addition, a Beikou City was built at the Beikou Market not far away.

Wang Rengong entered Hedong with five thousand soldiers and followed the passage in front and went west. This north entrance was the last pass before entering Hedong. After passing the forefront of Heishan Basin, it would be the territory of Hedong, and the west of the west is Lingqiu City in Yanmen County.

The wind and snow are everywhere, the north wind is shouting, and a black dot is particularly conspicuous in this silver-covered world, gradually approaching Feihu Pass City, the Northkou Feihu Pass City.

Looking at the towering new city Feihu Pass in the distance, Wang Rengong couldn't help feeling complicated.

A few years ago, he went south from Mayi, Hedong to Chaoji in the eastern capital Luoyang. At that time, he never thought that after leaving, his life would have undergone such a huge change. From a demoted prefect of Mayi, he suddenly became the accomplice of Chen Kefu, a minister who plotted against rebels, and had to follow him to Liaodong by the Luoshui River.

Originally, he thought that this might be the biggest joke God made with him. He was a famous general of the Sui Dynasty and an important minister of the court. He was first demoted to the remote prefect of Mayi because his relatives were related to Yang Xuangan's rebellion. Not a year later, outside the Eastern Capital, he was inexplicably involved with Chen Kefu, who was a minister who was plotting against him, and was forced to leave again.

I originally thought that my life would be over, and I would die in a foreign land and in a foreign country.

But who would have thought that time has changed, and this day has changed.

In just one year, Yanmen in Mayi was invaded by the Turks and the emperor was surrounded by Yanmen. Then there were a series of changes. The emperor died, the Sui Dynasty was in chaos, and the world was seven parts. I originally thought I could never turn over, but I never expected that the rebels and rebels in the past have now become the strongest force in the world, wielding the emperor to command the princes.

Even the old man, he turned over again overnight and became a third-rank real-time general of the Liaodong Army. He had previously been the garrison guarding the army, and was also the deputy chief of staff at the General Staff Headquarters, and also the deputy chief of the Pojun Martial Arts Hall.

This time, Chen Kefu ordered him to return to Beijing with a military order, and ordered him to be the general manager of the Western Camp to lead the troops to attack the Tang Dynasty. Although there were not many soldiers, this trust made him feel extremely excited. He led the army to fight again, and the long-lost passion made him feel excited.

Looking at the continuous Taihang Mountains, Wang Rengong's heart was ups and downs. This time he entered Hedong, he must let everyone know that as a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, he was not fond of fame. This time he entered Hedong, he must prove that his sword was not old.

A gust of north wind blew, and he couldn't help but think of a poem in the Book of Songs.

"I've gone before, and the willows are swaying; now I'm thinking about it, and the rain and snow are falling."
