Besides, Li Fu, since he received the emperor's order in front of the imperial court before going out, he knew in his heart that this battle would be fought, and at the same time, he had a bold idea that was eager to try.
When I arrived at the Liaodong station, this idea became more vivid in my mind.
When everyone thought that the ice and snow would make the two sides truce until the next year, Li Fu became more determined to attack in the cold winter.
As early as when he first arrived in Liaodong and before he fought the Jurchens, he secretly ordered his confidants to pick out a surprise team of 5,000 people from all the armies.
These 5,000 people are all skilled in bowing and horses, are physically strong, and the most important thing is that they can withstand the severe cold.
The 5,000 people selected were secretly sent to a certain base for special training, for that unexpected blow.
When the two sides fought several times, each had their own outcome, and after a heavy snowfall that lasted for several days, time had entered the cold winter unknowingly.
Therefore, the two sides had to temporarily truce.
The imperial army led by Li Fu also retreated to the station.
Even in the border towns of the Great Zhou Dynasty, because it is close to the Jurchen, it is not difficult for the Jurchen to place spies into the city.
Li Fu's management of the garrison is tight internally and loose externally. Naturally, there are many garrison sergeants complaining about the imperial court, about the suffering of this war, and about the extremely cold weather in Liaodong. The exceptions reached the ears of the Jurchen spies, and then passed back to the Jurchen tribe through the spies.
In order not to make the Jurchen suspicious, Li Fu also ordered people to investigate the Jurchen spies several times in the city, and many of them were caught and killed to show the public.
Entering the twelfth lunar month, Li Fu even put on an attitude of wanting to celebrate the New Year to relieve the suffering of the soldiers from homesickness, and ordered the Huotou army to purchase a variety of ingredients, rice and noodles.
And he himself bought many special products from local merchants, such as mink fur, ginseng, deerskin, dried sturgeon, dried fruits such as pine nuts and hazelnuts, wild vegetables such as bracken and matsutake, mountain delicacies such as wood ear mushrooms, Toad oil, agate amber beeswax, rare shells, etc., are simply big purchases made by high-rollers!
What's more, when he asked people cheerfully, he said that he bought it for his wife when he bought it, and his wife liked these, and he couldn't help but bring some things back when he came here.
All the people fell down when they heard it.
When the Jurchen spies brought back these learned tongues, the leaders of the Jurchen headquarters all burst into laughter, ridiculed and ridiculed, and immediately felt a little contempt for Li Fu.
A general who leads troops to fight and is the commander-in-chief of the three armies is so happy to go shopping around like a squirrel moving house to store food in order to please a woman. Is this still a man
Only an idiot like Emperor Zhou would reuse such a softie. If it were in Jurchen, such a person would have been killed long ago!
So far, the Jurchens have completely let go of their hearts.
After all, if a man like this is so focused on purchasing gifts for his wife, if he says he still has the heart to fight, no one will believe him if he dies!
The Jurchens then prepared for the New Year with peace of mind, and at the same time did not forget to make various military preparations, preparing to beat Da Zhou to nothing in the coming year, and then take advantage of the victory to force Da Zhou to cede land and pay compensation.
It's a pity that their sweet dreams ended on the night of the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month.
There was no snow that night, but the wind was raging, and the outside was still covered with snow, making it a world of ice and snow.
However, in such bad weather, a large Zhou cavalry with their horseshoes wrapped in felt cloth almost fell from the sky in the middle of the night, burned their food and grass, let go of their horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock, burned their camp, Their best warriors slain in their sleep...
Even the eleven members of their leader's family were all killed in flames or bows and arrows, and no one was spared!
There are countless big and small bosses that have been damaged!
Until now, they still can't believe that all this is true, and they can't believe that the soldiers of Dazhou dare to sneak attack in such weather! I can't believe that the great general who was so happy to buy all kinds of gifts for his wife led the troops himself and sent them to hell!
When the report was delivered to Emperor Jiande of the Great Zhou at just after dark on New Year's Eve, Emperor Jiande was overjoyed!
It should be said that Da Zhou has won many battles, but he has never sent a victory report on New Year's Eve, which is also a good omen for the New Year. How can he not be happy
His joy, no matter it's real or not, the whole city enjoys it.
Everyone couldn't help but think of Lian Fangzhou's disturbance in Liang Yushi's mansion not long ago, and their hearts were complicated for a while.
In the Zhu family, everyone's heart must be even more complicated.
It was not long before Zhu Yuying was brought back to her residence during the Chinese New Year, and the whole family had a lively and happy dinner. Who knew that the news fell from the sky, like a heavy bomb dropped on Zhu's house!
The explosion made everyone's faces extremely ugly, and even the family members felt embarrassed.
Zhu Yuying yelled out in pain when she thought that Li Fu's current honors belonged to Lian Fangzhou. Without even thinking about it, she smashed the jade-colored teacup in her hand, bit her lip and ran out.
That country girl is just like a shrew, why, why does she have such luck and blessings!
Why should she!
The cold wind was blowing head-on, and Zhu Yuying, who was filled with anger and jealousy, didn't feel the cold at all. Instead, she felt hot, scorching hot. The fire in her heart seemed to come from hell, burning and tormenting her. heart of.
Tasting the sweet and fishy smell in her mouth, she bit her lip, tears streaming down her face: Could it be, is this fate? By accident, she missed everything, but that country girl got a huge bargain! Could it be that she can't fight for this life in her life!
Zhu Yuying fiercely held onto the rock in front of her, and her white, tender, and beautiful slender hands firmly held the unevenness of the rock, without feeling the slightest pain.
Her nose was sour, and tears burst out of her eyes. They were obviously hot tears, but they immediately turned cold when they flowed out of her eyes, just like her desperate heart at the moment.
Zhu Yuying suppressed her sobs in a low voice, a soft sigh sounded from behind her, she froze all over, and heard her third elder brother who always doted on her sigh: "Ying'er, don't be sad."
Zhu Yuying ignored the tears on her face, just looked up at the third young master Zhu with a bit of embarrassment and pitifulness, and said with tears: "Third brother, all this should be mine, it's mine! Third brother , if his wife is me at this moment, it would be great to get such news! How happy our Zhu family will be! Third brother, it shouldn't be like this in the first place!"
"Ying'er..." Third Young Master Zhu felt even more sad, gritted his teeth, and said bitterly: "That woman is really cunning, Third Brother will never let her go so easily! Just wait patiently, she ,snort!"
