At this time, Liu Shan didn't have much time to think about his master. Liu Shan just knew that he could come to the border of Liangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, which must have something to do with his master. As for what happened, Liu Shan couldn't know. After all, humans are not gods, and they don't count on their fingers and everything comes out.

Looking at the continuous lights of the enemy camp inside, the cold wind blew, the wind in the north had already felt a bit cut at this time. It was only mid-October. If it were placed in the Central Plains, the leaves of the trees had just begun to wither and yellow, which was considered early autumn. However, here Liu Shan already felt that winter seemed to be coming at any time.

After letting go of something in his heart, Liu Shan seemed to feel relieved. No matter what, Liu Shan was sure of something at this time. He was definitely not alone in Liangzhou. The King of Qin would help him fight for recruiting soldiers and horses in Liangzhou. In the future, someone in the court would also help him talk to him if he was recruiting soldiers and horses in Liangzhou.

Liu Shan breathed a sigh of relief in the cold wind, walked on the city wall for a while, and asked about the situation of several soldiers in the enemy camp. Everyone said there was no movement in the enemy camp. Then Liu Shan asked the soldiers if they were cold at night. Most of the soldiers said they were not cold. There was only one newly-engraved soldier in Liangzhou who said that his hands were very cold in the early morning and he couldn't even hold his gun.

Liu Shan patted his shoulder. The north of the border was no better than the Central Plains. In winter, water drips into ice. When sand and stones are piled together, water can be frozen into a city wall. If someone is not well kept warm in the middle of winter, it is common for people to freeze to death.

In the past, Liu Shan heard a soldier say that one year their family was very cold. When they went out to pee, they took a wooden stick and beat the frozen ice while peeing, otherwise they wouldn't be able to urinate. At that time, Liu Shan almost laughed. Of course, it was not that funny, but that Liu Shan knew that others said these words to him were really treating him as brothers and relatives.

"It's good that you have been with me for so long, and I feel cold when I stand here for a while." Liu Shan said to several soldiers, and several people touched their heads embarrassedly.

"It's almost winter. It's snowing in Liangzhou in August. It's snowing in Hutian, which can freeze the living people to death. It's not easy to defend the city with brothers. Thank you for your hard work!" Liu Shan solemnly said to the soldiers guarding the city around him. It was the Wude period of the Tang Dynasty. The imperial court and the people used the lunar calendar, and the AD was about a month away. The middle was about one month away. If the snow in August mentioned in history was converted into the Gregorian calendar, it would be ninety-year. Liu Shan still knew about this.

"We won't work hard to beat the Turkic wolf cub!" The soldiers roared in unison.

"You are doing here, maybe others can't see it, I, Liu Shan. Don't worry, brothers, after the war is over, when you go home, your wife and children are warm, I, Liu Shan, let you have a while, and you can go home and gather with your family." After Liu Shan said that, cheers rang around him. At this time, everyone around Liu Shan knew that this general was very close to the soldiers. Among the soldiers, he was joking and talking about hometown dialect is very normal. Sometimes the soldiers also told Liu Shan about their relatives.

At this time, after receiving such a promise from the general, all the troops cheered and thundered.

The cheers on the Liangzhou city walls alarmed the Turks camped not far from the city. In the middle of the night, there was a sudden movement in Liangzhou city. The sentry on duty in the Turkic military camp immediately discovered it. The horns of the horns were blowing, and the heavy sound of the horns spread throughout every corner of the Turkic camp.

The sleeping soldiers were awakened by the horn and hurriedly put on their clothes. In an instant, the Turkic military camp became lively and chaotic. When the entire team of cavalry rushed out of the military camp, they saw that Liangzhou City was still the same as usual, with only constant cheers coming from Liangzhou City, one by one, but the enemy did not move at all.

All the Turkic soldiers were shocked and greeted all the women in the soldiers who were blowing the trumpet in their hearts, and then returned to the military camp in disappointment.

Liu Shan walked on the city wall for a while, and then got off the city wall.

In the second half of the night, someone saw his general coming from the city again. Several soldiers behind him were carrying a large bamboo basket. It seemed that something was in the bamboo basket. When the bamboo basket was carried to the city wall, the soldiers saw that the bamboo basket was made of leather gloves. On the spot, the soldier who told Liu Shan that his hands were so cold that he couldn't hold his weapons in the early morning cried.

"Why are you crying? The life and death of the soldiers are left behind, and they are still crying!" Liu Shan said to the soldier, and the soldiers who followed Liu Shan had already distributed gloves to the soldiers.

"These are made of leather left over the hot air balloon. If it is not done well, brothers will take it first to block the cold air. I, Liu Shan, are all negligent. These things should be prepared for the brothers as soon as possible." Each of the soldiers got a pair of gloves. When the gloves were put on their hands, the soldiers found that there was a layer of fur inside the gloves. These were not made in a hurry. They were things that had been prepared for the soldiers, but they had not been distributed.

At this time, Liu Shan took a spear from a soldier and stood on the city wall. Facing the north wind blowing from the desert, Liu Shan looked at the sky. At some point, the starlight in the sky disappeared. The sky above Liangzhou seemed to be covered by something. The wind was mixed with rare water vapor. Liu Shan stood there and felt that a few stars of coldness seemed to fall on his body. When he looked carefully, he saw scattered snowflakes falling in the sky.

On October 14, the third year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, Liangzhou ushered in the first snowfall. At around 3 a.m., flying snowflakes landed on the top of Liangzhou city. Scattered snowflakes rose, starting at very small, and then slowly becoming larger. At around 4 a.m., the earth was already a little white.

Looking at the falling snow, Liu Shan seemed to notice something. Winter will start with this falling snow and come to Liangzhou at this time. Of course, whether it falls or not is not very important, but the heaviness brought by this snow made Liu Shan realize that the war between him and the Turks was coming.

At five o'clock in the morning, Liu Shan left the city of Liangzhou. Under the shadow of snow in the city, Liu Shan rushed to Lin Meng's residence. He almost pulled Lin Meng, who was sleeping, from the hot bed. Looking at Lin Meng, who was sleeping, Liu Shan had already begun to set up a chart of the situation of the two armies fighting for Lin Meng on the table.

Liu Shan talked endlessly to Lin Meng and began to tell his plan to fight the Turks. Lin Meng was no longer sleepy at this time, but his eyes were closed, and he almost snoring sounded from his mouth.

This may be the most special scene in history where high-level officials discussed the situation of war. One general commented in detail about the pros and cons of the two armies and the situation of advance, and analyzed the next battle direction and the use of strategies and strategies, while the other one had no idea where he had gone. In the end, in order to have a good sleep, Lin Meng actually entrusts all his army to Liu Shan for temporary leadership.

When later generations commented on the preparations before the war, some people raised a very sharp question to Lin Meng, why did Lin Meng, who was the garrison of Liangzhou at that time, not care about Liangzhou's defense during the war and timely allocation?

Lin Meng's answer to this was that he fully trusted Liu Shan and he supported General Liu's command and allocation very much.

And behind the scenes, the few people who were very familiar with Lin Meng heard another statement.

"Damn, what kind of battle is this? How can this battle be fought like this?" This was Lin Meng's private complaint. Of course, compared with the actual situation at that time, Lin Meng's performance was not surprising. When gunpowder and hot air balloon first appeared on the battlefield, a border guard of the Tang Dynasty's grasp of these two things was like an old country farmer entering a metropolis for the first time. And more than 400,000 Turkic cavalrymen were stationed in the city of Liangzhou. According to Lin Meng, he was completely unable to win this war.

Lin Meng is very smart. Since Liu Shan has the ability and ability, he will hand over all such a mess to Liu Shan. Anyway, he will not lose any credit when he celebrates the achievements. After all, his army participated in the war and won. If he really fails, he will blame Liu Shan for the reason for the failure. Anyway, this war was completely planned by Liu Shan.

At 6 a.m. on October 14, 2018, at Lin Mansion, Liu Shan obtained the right to all the troops in Liangzhou to allocate the troops. When the war was about to come, unified command could allow the army to effectively execute orders. In the battlefield of Liangzhou, which could affect the fate of the early Tang Dynasty, a rising star was about to spread its bright light.
