At Tongmen Pass, Wei Dongyang stood at the door of the tent, looking at the heavy snow in the sky with a cold face. Since he came here, the heavy snow hasn't stopped. The garrison was fine, the soldiers cleaned it every day, and there was no snow left. The snow outside the city was already waist-deep, and in some places it could even bury people.
After leaving the city, the surrounding area was completely white, and it was hard to tell where the road was. If the road is blocked, troops cannot be dispatched. Moreover, some soldiers in the army were from the south, and they couldn't adapt to the bitter cold weather at all, and many of them suffered from frostbite.
Not to mention them, even northerners can't stand such a cold day! Local people said that it has not been so snowy for many years, let alone so cold! When the snow falls to the ground, it freezes into ice instantly, not soft, but hard snow and ice.
The situation on their side is not optimistic, but those people on the grassland have adapted well, as if the snow has no effect on them at all. The day before yesterday, a pair of cavalry on the grassland raided a village, did not kill anyone, only took away all the food. But this kind of weather robs the people of all their food, which is no different from killing them.
When Wei Dongyang arrived with his men, the other party had been gone for a long time. Coming and going like the wind, like walking on flat ground, I don't know how their war horses are not afraid of the cold.
The people on their side couldn't get used to it, let alone those horses, more than a dozen of them had frozen to death.
Wei Dongyang has a headache, this battle is not easy to fight, he will definitely not be able to go back this year for Chinese New Year, and even Qingqing's birthday next year may not be able to catch up...
Because he was thinking about something, Wei Dongyang couldn't sleep well, so whenever there was any movement outside, he was awakened immediately.
It was a mess outside, and there were constant exclamations, but it didn't look like an enemy attack. Wei Dongyang put on his clothes and went out, and asked calmly, "What's going on?" Some of them thought that the gods had descended to earth!
"General! The gods have come down to earth!"
Wei Dongyang: "..."
Before Wei Dongyang could react, the soldiers hurriedly explained to him.
"When the last general was on patrol, suddenly the sky brightened and a strange wind blew..."
"Where is the strange wind? It is obviously the fairy wind!"
"Yes, yes, fairy wind, fairy wind. A gust of fairy wind blows, and all the patrolling soldiers feel warm..."
"Even the chilblains on my hands have mostly healed."
"And me! A few days ago, I suffered a little trauma. These days, I have cracked and cracked, and it hasn't healed. I was blown by the fairy wind, and now it's scabbed!"
"That's not counting, the fairy wind suddenly swept up all the snow on the ground, trees, roofs, such thick snow, it was blown away by the fairy wind!"
"We ran after the fairy wind, and saw that it rolled up more and more snow, overwhelming the sky, and I reckoned that the snow in the entire Yanzhou was swept away by it!"
"I chased him for twenty miles outside the city, and saw the snow fall again from a distance, and built a high wall three feet high, one battalion wide, and so long that it couldn't be seen!"
…
Wei Dongyang found out the whole story, was surprised, and immediately took people to Xianqiang.
Immortal Wall is what the soldiers called that wall.
At this moment, the sky was slightly bright, and there was not even a single grain of snow left on the ground. The road surface was frozen and hard, and the horseshoes stepped on it and made regular "clack" sounds. Wei Dongyang saw the fairy wall from a distance, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Such a large project cannot be done by manpower!
Looking closer, the wall is as smooth as a mirror, compact and dense, it cannot be pierced by a sword, and it does not leave a mark when a knife is passed. The wall is three feet high, and the climbing ladder is not even half that high. Besides, there is no such thing as a climbing ladder on the grassland.
Wei Dongyang immediately thought of the key point. With this wall standing here, the barbarians on the grassland would have no way of getting through.
Wei Dongyang usually has a dubious attitude towards those gods and Buddhas, but seeing this wall, he believes that there are really gods in this world.
"You two, go east along this wall and see where this wall goes! You two go west."
"yes."
The four galloped away on horseback and did not return until night.
"Report to the general, the east of the Immortal Wall goes all the way to Phoenix Mountain!"
"From the west to Wentong Mountain, it is next to Wentong Mountain, there is no gap at all!"
"Okay! In this way, those savages on the grassland don't want to come in!" Wei Dongyang couldn't help laughing. What was a headache yesterday will be solved today! "This is a miracle from heaven! Bless me!"
"A miracle from heaven! Bless me!"
"A miracle from heaven! Bless me!"
"A miracle from heaven! Bless me!"
…
The voice came from Wei Dongyang's tent, and then the whole barracks shouted, it was deafening, and the sound spread to the sky!
After the Longevity Festival, Wen Qing lived in the palace for a few more days, and Emperor Yuanchang refused to let her go, fearing that if she left the palace, her family would not be able to see her, so she would slip away to the border.
"Uncle, I have already been to the border, and I came back when I saw that my father was fine."
Emperor Yuanchang didn't believe it, and thought that Wen Qing would coax him with words. From the capital to Tongmen Pass, it would take at least half a month's journey, and it would take a month to go back and forth. She has been under his nose for the past few days, so there is no chance go? Dreaming is also faster. But he was patient enough to chat with his niece, so he asked her with a smile, "When did you go?"
"It was on the second night of Wanshou Festival, I went there in a dream."
Emperor Yuanchang: "..."
It was really a dream.
"Then what did you dream about, tell uncle." She completely coaxed her like a child.
Wen Qing naturally knew that he was coaxing her, so he didn't care, and still said seriously, "I saw the snow at the border was three feet thick and hard as a rock. The horses froze to death, and the soldiers were frostbitten. Anguo saw that his father was worried, so he helped him. .”
When Wen Qing said the first few sentences, Emperor Yuanchang listened with a heavy expression, because Wei Dongyang had already reported what Wen Qing said to him. But when he heard the back, Emperor Yuanchang couldn't laugh or cry again, he really was a child.
"Then how did An Guo help your father?"
"An Guo piled snow into a high wall, so that he won't be afraid of those barbarians coming in!"
Her usual calm expression could not help showing a little complacency at this moment. Emperor Yuanchang laughed out loud. His niece, perhaps because of the Nine Heavens Xuannv, has been stable and sensible since she was a child. She has a cold and indifferent appearance, but she is really untouched by the world like a fairy. It was a rare moment when he was so childish, which made him very happy.
She didn't pay attention to what she said about building a high wall to guard against barbarians, she just thought it was a child's talk.
Two days later, Emperor Yuanchang received an expedited dispatch of 800 miles from the border, "A miracle from heaven! Bless me!"
"In one night, the fairy wall was erected!"
"All the snow and ice in Yanzhou has turned into a high wall, thousands of miles long and three feet high! It's as smooth as a mirror, and it's indestructible with swords."
…
Emperor Yuanchang can understand every character, why can't he understand it together
Two days later, Emperor Yuanchang rewarded Wen Qing with a bunch of treasures, and the things were sent directly to Zhen Guogong's mansion. The Duke of Zhen's mansion has long been used to it, and all civil and military officials have long since become numb. It is no secret that the Holy Majesty loves Princess An. It is not surprising that the rewards and the flowers in the imperial garden are given to Princess An as rewards.
The Holy Majesty has collected a hundred items of rewards for Princess An, but I don't know what to use this time. Snow stopped? It is bright
But no one thought about the border miracles received in the court two days ago.
After solving the border war and the snow problem, Wen Qing was free. Thanks to the heroine, the food level of the Duke's Mansion has finally improved, and he eats and drinks every day, waiting for the New Year.
She is so leisurely, but the hero is not so relaxed. After the Longevity Festival, the Huainan king's family all returned to their fiefdom. No matter how good the capital is, how can they feel comfortable being a local emperor
On the first day back home, King Huainan didn't go to his wife's yard, and he was exhausted from traveling and traveling. He was ready to recharge his batteries.
In the dead of night, King Huainan had a dream. In the dream, he was strategizing and plotting secretly. Finally, when his cousin's medicine pot was about to die, that idiot Zhao Jie had a brain problem. The clan didn't want him to be emperor, so they elected him to succeed him. The king of Huainan almost woke up laughing from his dream. However, something happened suddenly. First, the princess’s family was exposed to be domineering in Jiangzhou, and she was involved in more than ten life lawsuits. Among them, the living Bodhisattva Jiangning County Lord in the hearts of the people was involved, which caused public resentment. In order to quell public grievances, a thorough investigation had to be done. This investigation is not a big deal, and more than a dozen life lawsuits of the Cui family were dug up. The Dali Temple just found out, and the people in the entire Jiangzhou knew about it, and they couldn't hide it. So the Cui family just I can pay for my life.
The Cui family is over, he is like breaking one arm, and then the other arm has an accident, and the whole family is beheaded... Again and again, his secret forces have accidents one after another, if he doesn't notice that someone is targeting him, That's a fool!
It's a pity that even if he knew that someone was going to deal with him, he couldn't find that person. In the end, the evidence that he had colluded with various forces and prepared to rebel was presented to the emperor. He snatched his throne, so the whole family was exiled, and all died halfway.
Only his eldest son was alive and well, and he inherited the Huainan King's throne, supported that idiot Zhao Jie as the emperor, and became an invisible emperor himself...
Because it was his good son who reported him, and it was his good son who poisoned the whole family halfway!
King Huainan spat out a mouthful of blood, woke up from the dream, his canthus was about to split, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Kill your father and mother! Poison your whole family! Zhao Yan, you are so cruel!"
King Huainan dreamed about what would happen in the future, and his mind was agitated, so he couldn't resist tearing Zhao Yan up, because judging from the situation in the dream, he is a rebellious son who is really capable, and he has already developed a lot at a young age. With a small power, he might not be able to get anything good if he beat the grass and startled the snake. So plan well.
Jiang is still old and spicy. This is not unreasonable. In the original book, Huainan King never guarded against his son, so he ended up like that. But when he knew everything about the future in advance, how could he let Zhao Yan succeed
So the two fathers and sons began to fight each other, you cut off my arm, I cut you with a knife, killing you to the death.
Zhao Yan is not in a good mood right now, if he hadn't been protected by the hero's halo and saved himself from danger several times, he would have been killed by King Huainan long ago.
King Huainan also found that Zhao Yan was a tough guy, and after several defeats, he wanted to kill Zhao Yan even more. Otherwise, once this rebellious son is given a chance to grow up, he will have no chance.
In the beginning, the infighting of the Huainan Wang family was just for people to watch, but as the struggle intensified, more and more trump cards surfaced, and the jokers couldn't laugh anymore, and Huainan Wang's wolf ambition was clearly revealed.
The private power of King Huainan and Zhao Yan was quite enviable. Taking advantage of their internal strife, many people secretly helped them add fire, and waited for them to be burned to death before taking advantage of them.
But they thought too much, today is not a medicine jar with only one breath left, on the contrary, he is full of vigor and energy, and the Huainan royal family is suffering from both losses, so he still has the ability to pick up a bargain. Therefore, after Huainan Wang's family was imprisoned, both forces fell into the hands of Emperor Yuanchang.
