It snowed heavily for three days. When the sun shone again on the earth, the north was already frozen for thousands of miles, covered in silver, and was particularly enchanting.

However, this was undoubtedly a disaster for both sides of the war.

Zhang He expected that there would be cold weather, but he didn't expect that heavy snow would fall for three days in a row. He and Zhuge Liang were only three miles apart, and he could almost see each other, but they were a valley filled with snow, so they wanted to start a new battle.

, you must first shovel the snow.

Who would step on the waist-deep snow to fight the enemy?

Neither Zhang He can.

Fortunately, there was Liupan Mountain next to it, and firewood was everywhere, so heating was not a problem. Zhang He was not in a hurry to attack. He surrounded the fire pit in the big tent and discussed the war with Qin Lang and Tian Yu.

"I didn't expect it would snow so hard, which was a bit of a mistake." Zhang He smiled bitterly and said, "We can still roast the fire here, but Ling Lang and Ling Nephew have suffered."

Tian Yu disagreed. "Young man, what's the point of suffering? This snow may be a good thing. In such heavy snow, Zhuge Liang probably wouldn't have imagined that someone would attack Guanzhong."

Qin Lang clapped his hands, holding a wine glass in one hand and a wine spoon in the other, adding some to Zhang He and Tian Yu, and then touched them for a while, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, God is not as good as human beings, maybe this is the protection of God.

Wei, let’s do the extraordinary achievements of Ying and the two. General Zhang, the sky has cleared up. When will we start attacking?"

Zhang He sniffed a sip of wine: "No hurry. General, we are fighting here, but it is actually just a bluff. You can also see the battles these days. With the terrain here and the advantages of the Shu army in the crossbows, we

It may not be easy to break through."

Qin Lang nodded in agreement. "The general said that Zhuge Liang used his troops strictly and had no gaps to attack, but I still felt that it was a bit exaggerated. After this battle, I realized that I was really ignorant. It turns out that there are such geniuses in the world."

Zhang He smiled silently, raised his glass to greet Qin Lang, and the two looked at each other and drank it all. Zhang He knew that although Qin Lang had never expressed any opinions, he had doubts about his actions. However, Qin Lang had never said anything.

.In front of everyone, he fully supported Zhang He's decision and faithfully implemented the emperor's edict, focusing on everything. This is very rare, and Zhang He is still very grateful.

Tian Yu also gave Zhang He a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Although Zhuge Liang is a genius, he is secretly bent. He lived in seclusion for many years and finally chose to assist Liu Bei, but unfortunately Liu Bei was unable to use him much. With his ability, if it were soon

Granted military power and practiced it. At the beginning, Liu Bei fought for Hanzhong. Why did Liu Bei personally show off his own strength? Later, there was no need to use Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou. Although Guan Yu was brave, he was too arrogant. If Zhuge Liang led his troops to guard Jingzhou, he would be supplemented by Jingzhou.

How could Sun Quan allow the hero of Xiang to occupy Jingzhou? Although Zhuge Liang is now in power, he is over fifty years old. I heard that he is always in his own hands. He is very meticulous and still works so hard at the age of the age. He can't hold on for too long."

Zhang He took a sip of wine, nodded in agreement, and then sighed again. "It's a pity that although Zhuge Liang was over fifty years old, Wei Ba was just young, and it was still a trouble for me, the Great Wei. His war in Jingzhou was a big fight.

Extremely wonderful and breathtaking. Compared to Guan Yu back then, he was more cunning than his bravery. If he led his troops north and attacked Xiangyang again, this war would be very unfavorable to us. We should resolve it as quickly as possible.

The war here cannot be delayed for too long."

Tian Yu reminded: "General, it is said that Sun Quan sent Lu Xun to deal with him. No matter how good Wei Ba is, it is probably not easy to defeat Lu Xun."

"Lu Xun is good at fighting, but Lu Xun is too steadfast." Zhang He smiled: "One is good at defending and the other is good at attacking. Who do you think has a better chance of winning? Wei Ba was single and could make a world of success because he was good at it.

Getting along with barbarians. You should know that more than half of the soldiers in Jiangdong are all kinds of barbarians. If you want to drive barbarians to fight with barbarians, I am afraid that he will cause trouble to Xiao Wall. During the war, if there is a slight constraint, you may be defeated thousands of miles, not to mention

Half of the people in their own camp may become enemies.”

Qin Lang and Tian Yu thought about it, but they also felt that it made sense.

"It is precisely because of this that we must defeat Zhuge Liang as soon as possible and drive him out of Guanzhong." As soon as Zhang He stretched out his cup, Qin Lang immediately filled him with wine, and then listened to him attentively. One of the purposes of Cao Rui asking him to come.

, it is to let him follow Zhang He to train and prepare for his future growth. Just like let Xiahou Ba be Cao Zhen's vanguard, these are all planned arrangements. Now he lives in a big tent, and I heard a general like Zhang He comment on the use of troops by the generals of the three parties.

The length is a rare learning opportunity for him.

"The reason why Wei Ba was able to open up the situation in Jingzhou was because he was good at gaining the hearts of barbarians and using the power of barbarians. Zhuge Liang has not noticed this yet, so he did not contact Qianghu, but I believe that after this

In the battle, he would soon notice the loophole and make up for it." He paused and looked at Qin Lang and Tian Yu, "Think about it, if the Xianbei people behind us, the Xiongnu people are like the barbarians now.

What would happen if Wei Ba supported Zhuge Liang like that?"

Qin Lang and Tian Yu looked at each other and couldn't help but take a breath.

Zhang He smiled slightly and patted his legs with his big hand: "Telling a thousand and saying ten thousand, Zhuge Liang is more intelligent and has insufficient experience. Just as he is not very familiar with the way of fighting in this cold weather, so far, he

I haven't noticed how useful the Hu people on the grassland are. However, he is good at summarizing and will soon understand this. I believe that in the next battle, he may send someone to contact Kirby, it depends on whether we can give it to you.

Give him this opportunity. General Qin, if you are willing to conquer the world, you must be more attentive to the northern border. You are a border lander and you should understand the situation in the border land. General Tian has been in the border land for a long time, so you might as well ask him more questions."

Qin Lang laughed, raised his glass to signal to Tian Yu, "General Tian, ​​I hope you will give me some advice."

Tian Yu hurriedly returned the greeting: "General Zhang praised it, I really feel ashamed. If you want to say that the Hu people are actually similar to the barbarians, they are just gathered by fate and dispersed by fate. To win them over, they are nothing more than luring them for profit.

, just show his power. In addition, most Hu people have a difficult life. As long as the general can control his subordinates, they do not exploit them and force them to the point where they cannot survive, they will still be stable. In history, Hu people have been in chaos, and most of them are officials

The exploitation is too deep, and a small number of Hu people are overestimating their abilities. As long as these two types of people are controlled well, it is not difficult for Hu people to manage. If the general can make them live a good life, they will be as obedient as dogs, just like the north.

It’s not easy to live a good life.”

Zhang He nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Tian Yu's opinion. "This is probably the difference between the barbarians in the south and the Hu people in the north. The north is cold, with few products and difficult to survive. However, the south is warm in the climate. I heard that some places even have two or two a year

If you have three cooked foods, the richness of the products is beyond the reach of the north. If we look at it from this perspective, Wei Ba's occupation of Jingzhou or even Jiaozhou is not a good thing for us."

Qin Lang deeply agreed.

"Fortunately, there is no good horse in the south." Tian Yu made a fuss.

"This is the fairness of the way of heaven." Zhang He deeply agreed.

The three of them laughed at the same time.

...

Jiang Wei pushed open the tent door and walked into Zhuge Liang's big tent. Seeing Zhuge Liang fiddling with something under the lamp, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Prime Minister, what invention did you do?"

Zhuge Liang raised his head when he heard the sound. Seeing that it was Jiang Wei, he waved his hand quickly and said with a smile: "Boyou, come and see, I am going to use this to transport grain. What do you think?"

"Transport grain?" Jiang Wei looked at the thing that looked like a cow in Zhuge Liang's hand in confusion: "How can I transport grain? Can I leave?"

"Can you leave." Zhuge Liang placed the wooden cow on the table, pulled a wooden pole, and the wooden cow walked step by step on the table. What surprised Jiang Wei even more was that the wooden cow actually climbed up.

After finishing the inkstone, he then climbed up the pile of official documents. Only then did Jiang Wei notice that the official documents on the table were piled up by Zhuge Liang into a hill of uneven appearance.

Jiang Wei was surprised and happy: "Prime Minister, you are..."

"The two sides are in a stalemate. Whoever can last until the end depends on whose logistics supply can last longer." Zhuge Liang smiled, with a little tired look and a little relieved. "We have an advantage in this regard. Wei

Occupying Jiaozhou and making peace with Wu State. Now the rice in Jiaozhou can be transported to Xiangyang along the waterway. If we can recover Wuguan and open up the Wuguan Road again, the rice can be transported to Chang'an. Now, we have to cross it.

Ziwu Valley, the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to move. I made this wooden cow to transport grain."

Jiang Wei picked up the wooden ox, looked at it several times, and praised it endlessly. "Prime Minister, you are really... so genius, you can actually make such exquisite machinery. I think it's Wei Ba here, I'm afraid

I have to be willing to give up the disadvantage."

Zhuge Liang laughed. "If you talk about others, I still have some confidence. As for Wei Ba, I dare not show off my mechanical skills in front of him."

"The Chief has a high evaluation of Wei Ba." Jiang Wei carefully put down the wooden ox and reminded: "But can Wei Ba continue to support the Prime Minister's grain as the Prime Minister hopes? Although there is rice in Jiaozhou, it must be supplied for a long time.

A large army is not an easy task.”

Zhuge Liang put away his smile, stroked his gray beard, and pondered for a long time.

"I have confidence in him. I believe that he has spent so much effort to fight with Lu Xun for Jiaozhou, and he has his intention. Besides, I have been in charge of military farming affairs in Lining and know that although there is not as good as Nanjun, it is

As long as you do it carefully, the grain output will still be of great strength to dig. I have already sent a letter to Jiang Wan, asking him to temporarily put down the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion and rush to Lingling first. He is from Lingling, and he is about Lingling's situation

Familiar with it, I guess I can help Wei Ba handle some affairs."
