The desert is unobstructed, and there are tourists on the poor side.
The love of Tibet is like this water, and the long wish to flow south.
"Book Side Matters" Tang Dynasty: Zhang Qiao
—I am the dividing line —
In the heavy snow, Zhao Ziri, the commander of the new dynasty of Daqi, was also covered in layers of clothing like a big rice dumpling, waddling deep and shallow in the knee-deep snow; this Planting the cold and dripping water into ice in the northern part of the country almost killed the old man he knew from a strong background in Lingnan.
Although he exhausted his means and favors, and even sent a woman to his official bed, he could not escape the fate of being conscripted this time. In fact, not only him, but also Shangguan and Shangguan's Shangguan, were all conscripted into this second-route reinforcement to Dasanguan.
Because, after the previous attack and the great migration (fleeing), the manpower that can be recruited in Chang'an City has been severely lacking and short; although one after another, a group of people have been transferred from Shili Baxiang in Gyeonggi to fill the city. Fang; but when there is a real need to recruit and dispatch strong men, there are still all kinds of inadequate and elusive problems.
The snow on the march was so heavy that they could barely see the outline of the heavens and the earth, nor the position of the sun and the moon when they walked on the road; but only a few steps away was a fuzzy outline with heavy shadows. Therefore, from time to time, someone stumbles and falls on the snow, and then gets pulled up again by force.
It was also because of the rush at the time of departure and the unevenness of their respective warmth protection measures. Among the teams that came along the way, there were people who had their noses, ears, fingers and toes frozen unknowingly. More people simply got frostbite. Whenever they stopped camping and sat by the fire to bake for warmth, they couldn't help but feel itchy and painful; then, they broke and festered as soon as they scratched.
Some people even fell into the snow accidentally when they couldn't bear to get up in the middle of the night, and when they got up, they were frozen into popsicles along with the urinary pillar. Some people simply disappeared at night, and they didn't know if they escaped in the wind and snow, or were frozen to death in some wilderness.
Therefore, the group of more than 60 people he had survived by eating a small half-empty head was able to replenish more than a hundred people before he left Beijing; after only one night, he lost more than a dozen people due to various reasons. ; And the journey from Chang'an to the vicinity of Xianyang was enough for them to walk the whole day.
However, after receiving a supply of clothing and blankets from the Yingtun Division of Xianyang, and then proceeding along the snow-covered official road that was invisible, the speed became more and more difficult. To make matters worse, there were problems with the firewood, carbon, hot soup, and beverages that were supposed to be provided along the way, and people began to fall behind frequently and suffered injuries.
Even after the third day, the frequent lost due to heavy snow and fog, even the food that barely provided basic hot soup and a few sips of wine, disappeared, and only the food was frozen hard, even if it was left. After warming up in your arms, like chewing wax, dry cakes that need to be swallowed with ice and snow are distributed to everyone's hands;
However, taking advantage of this short gust of wind and snow, they recalibrated their position and returned to the avenue built by the court along Jingshui; they only froze to death some of the animals and only allowed more manpower to pull those. The traveling speed of heavy vehicles has also been greatly slowed down again;
In Zhao Ziri's regiment alone, more than a dozen people were lost. Some of them fell into the snow nests formed by river branches and ditches inexplicably when they were walking, but they didn't have the strength to get up and waited for others to find that they had long been frozen. Some people walked and fell headlong in the snow. If they didn't help them up in time to continue, they would lose their breath a little bit with a pale complexion.
Afterwards, even Zhao Ziri, who was wrapped up in layers, felt extremely sleepy and insensitive, as if he didn't have his hands and feet, but could only move forward with the basic instincts of his body. The only motivation that can support them is the possibility of warm soup and shelter from the wind and snow in the city ahead.
I don’t know how long it took, and I saw two self-deprecating soldiers lying down and sitting down. After being stripped naked by other people passing by without hesitation; suddenly good news finally came from the front.
They finally reached the vicinity of Wugong County, where Wuting River and Wei River meet. At any rate, this is also a Chi County in Guinei, enough to provide sufficient temporary shelter and corresponding supplies for this exhausted and hungry army. Therefore, after more than half an hour of difficulty, they finally saw the outline of the gray city under the gloomy sky that was about to darken.
After calling the gate and the chaos after entering the city, Zhao Ziri also fought several times with the neighbors, and grabbed a deserted temple near the city gate as a temporary stop for his subordinates. The place. Recounted the heads, only to find that there were only more than seventy people left. But in Wugong County, there is a cold and cold area, and there are not many traces of folk houses.
After the sky finally turned dark, the group of people Zhao Ziri was in finally received the firewood and rations rationed today. However, on the cart that was in the right half, there were still only baskets of cold dry cakes and a small clay pot of wine; and the so-called firewood was a bunch of snow covered with snowflakes, and freshly cut down. Thick and thin branches of the stubble.
"Dog-raised bastard, is this going to force us to die?"
The next moment, Zhao Ziri suddenly exploded with his foot on the cart, and he was furious and cursed:
How can these newly chopped branches that still carry their juices directly be used as firewood for heating? Even if it is to be used on weekdays, it must be dried with charcoal fire. But now, now and now, who are hungry and tired, how can they take so much time to find fuel to start a fire? Did you demolish your last shelter with a good roof and large siding
However, no one in the room could answer his questioning, and he saw that Zhao Ziri could only say, like a sleepy beast:
"Where are the charcoal and charcoal that are easy to light? What about the cans and drinks? When I was out of Beijing, I clearly saw the weight of hundreds of cars loaded...Where are they all gone..."
In the next moment, a sharp expression flashed across his face, and he shouted to the left and right:
"This can't be done, anyone who can still move will fuck you; and let me go to the grain platform to find out, you can't just make people lose money like this!."
As a result, a group of cronies led by Zhao Ziri passed through several dark and lacquered streets in silence, and rushed to the front gate of the Confucian Temple and Xuegong in the county where the Liangtaiyuan was located; only to discover that this place was already occupied by a number of soldiers with sticks. Tuan Tuan surrounded, and couldn't help being surprised. Could it be that the grain platform had been prepared for a long time and wanted to retreat on the spot.
However, in the next moment, the clamor that broke out among these soldiers one after another made him stop.
"Damn the grain..."
"Let Liangtai come out and say it!!"
"Why there is no hot food..."
"The firewood given is all wet..."
"I don't have enough places to live in the city. Is this going to freeze to death?"
"Say about everyone's winter clothes and tent blankets. They have not been given enough so far. How many people have been frozen and killed all the way..."
"Where is the regular liquor and water? Why are there only local wines and turbid wines in the countryside..."
In the midst of the clamor, Zhao Ziri took people to the back of the Xuegong; then, looking for a gap in the wall, he lifted it in and climbed in, and suddenly he saw a mountain of piles of horses full of rows in person. He also led people forward in silence, and picked up the things he found useful.
After dropping many bundles of cans outside the wall and air-drying chicken, duck and pork legs, Zhao Ziri turned his target to the firewood piled on the ground; however, the next moment his full of joy turned into astonishment, because in Under those seemingly piles of coal and charcoal, there is a lot of hay that is not tolerant of burning at all.
However, this delay caused the hustle and bustle of the front door of the Academy to divert the attention of the guards of the grain platform to come back suddenly, and he could not help screaming loudly:
"who?"
"Someone trespassed..."
"Dare to steal the grain platform..."
The next moment, Zhao Ziri gritted his teeth and pushed to the fire cage on the side, igniting the tent that covered objects on one side, and then shouted loudly:
"Brothers hurry in and see, there is nothing left in the grain platform..."
However, just such a sentence was like sparks thrown in a dry pyre, and it ignited a certain long-standing resentment and dissatisfaction on the spot. Suddenly, it turned into a thunderous impact and door knocking. Then, when Zhao Ziri jumped out of the gap in the wall during the chaos, it was also the beginning of the upheaval when the front door of the grain platform was broken and countless angry soldiers swarmed in. . . .
And in the Chang'an city where they came from. The night banquet in the Mingtang of the Daming Palace in the north was on the spot. With the retiring of Emperor Huang Chao, the emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, Li Junru, who was in fact ruling the political council hall as a de facto solitary person, became the focus of all people's flattery and compliments. It's just that his mind is not entirely in this banquet.
It was not until five rounds of drinking and three rounds of drinking that Li Junru came to the side hall behind the palace with the opportunity to change his clothes; facing the newly appointed pass, Zheng Yuntang, who is also closely following by his side, said in an understatement:
"I don't know, where has the Second Route Aid Division arrived? Can you pay for the supplies along the way?"
"But please sit back and relax, as long as everything is calculated according to the account books, there will be no difference..."
Zheng Yuntang said with a compelling expression: Then he smiled slightly:
"What's more, is there still Zhao Shizhong who can help?" (End of this chapter)
