I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

After determining the military target, Liu Sheng did not wait for Wang Liao's arrival in Yingzhou. He only stayed with Mi Xing and waited for Soraka to conquer all the counties before taking Liang Shouyi and Soraka northward.

Soraka lived up to expectations and brought only 2000 people with him to pacify all the counties. No one resisted, but Soraka brought back bad news.

The snow was so heavy that no villages could be seen along the way, and almost all of them were buried under the heavy snow. All the county magistrates were digging roads in the city for help.

Liu Sheng left 4000 sergeants behind for rescue and led 6000 people northward.

The snow in the north is indeed not covered. After several days of heavy snowstorms, the snow outside the city is as high as a person's height.

Even when riding a horse, only half of the shoulders are exposed, at such a marching speed.

It can be said to be digging a path in the snow.

Liu Sheng asked people to make several sleds and put all the artillery on the sleds.

The snow that had just fallen from a heavy snowstorm was very soft, and if you wanted to pull a sled, someone had to clear the way in front of you.

The snow was dug up and packed tightly before the horses could pull the cannon.

Liu Sheng led 6000 people to march north, bringing ten artillery pieces and all necessary supplies.

After 6000 people walked less than ten miles in half a day, Liu Sheng gave up.

Such heavy snow is both the best cover and the best defense.

No one can march on a large scale in this kind of weather. This is because God does not give him face, and it is no longer something that human power can change.

According to old people living in Yingzhou City, they have never seen such heavy snow.

Liu Sheng suddenly realized that it was no longer auspicious snow that heralded a good harvest, but a snow disaster.

Liu Sheng has been in the city all the time, and the houses in the city are all brick buildings.

Every household has charcoal fires for heating, and people clean up the heavy snow in the city every day, so the snow in the city is not obvious.

Although the blizzard was heavy, it did not destroy the houses, but most of the people outside the city had thatched houses and mud houses, and their houses were not strong enough to withstand such a blizzard.

Liu Sheng hasn't realized yet, what has this heavy snow brought to the world?

The Khitan soldiers that Liu Sheng had let go before came back in groups.

Plunging into a snowdrift, unable to tell the direction at all, trying to get home was like asking a blind man to show you the way.

Liu Sheng did not drive them away, but hired them to join the rescue team for ten dollars and two meals a day.

Go to the place where there is a village on the map and dig out the village buried by the snow.

Without rescue, it would be difficult for the village buried in the snow to survive.

These people who have fixed gathering places are okay, but those herdsmen who graze their cattle don't know where to hide for the winter.

Even if I want to go to rescue, I can't find a place.

I am afraid that after this winter, there will be heavy losses, and the entire tribe may even cease to exist.

Liu Sheng was worried. If the situation in Yingzhou was like this, then the entire Shuozhou, Wuzhou and Huanzhou would probably not be much better.

Liu Sheng set up 30 large pots in the city regardless of the cost and cooked porridge day and night.

Fortunately, Yingzhou's coal reserves are still very rich and there is plenty of fuel.

Liu Sheng formulated a series of rescue plans. Everyone must close their eyes for one minute every time they dig a cup of tea. After digging for a quarter of an hour, they must return to the camp to rest for a quarter of an hour.

There is no way, extreme cold and sweating can easily take away a life.

In order to reduce the number of casualties, Liu Sheng had to resort to unreasonable measures.

Those who cannot be rescued must be more serious than the casualties suffered by the disaster.

.......

The area outside Yingzhou City is flat, and heavy snow has smoothed the ground. White seems to be the main theme of this world. On all the flat land, there is a sound coming from a sunken snow.

"Everyone, dig quickly. Don't let the snow block the air outlet for us, otherwise everyone will suffocate to death."

This is a village, and all the people gather in a masonry house, which is the best house in their village.

There were several elderly people kneeling in front of a row of spiritual tablets, chanting "ancestor blessings" incessantly.

This is the ancestral hall in their village, which is the most solidly built.

As early as the first day of the blizzard, some people's houses began to collapse.

The head of the village was also an enterprising person. He immediately called on everyone, regardless of gender or age, to move all the food and fuel to the ancestral hall.

The blizzard lasted for a week, and all the houses in the village were collapsed by the heavy snow. Even this ancestral hall was buried by the heavy snow.

They didn't know what was going on outside, and now the only air outlet was blocked.

The township chief organized the young and strong to start seeking their own survival. A group of women and children knelt down by the stove and watched anxiously. It was the township chief's mercy that allowed these women to live in the ancestral hall. They had no right to visit. Ancestor tablets to ask for the blessings of ancestors.

A simple and honest farmer put down the pickaxe in his hand and gasped and said to the mayor: "The snow can't be cleared completely. If we dig a little, the top will collapse a little, and there is no place to put the excavated snow." .”

The mayor sighed. The space inside them was limited, and the heavy snow outside buried them unknown how deep they were.

"If God doesn't help me, let's all take a break! Sit down and take a breath. Whether you live or die, that's it!"

All the women lowered their heads, knowing that they were about to face the end of their lives.

All the men also listened to the mayor's words, put down their things, walked to their families, and snuggled together with their families, enjoying the last quiet time, waiting for the cold and lack of oxygen to swallow them up.

They did not expect the imperial court to rescue them at all. Apart from taxation and labor, the imperial court never even looked at them.

A woman cried softly, and a sad atmosphere instantly filled the entire ancestral hall.

There are only children, and they play and play without any fear.

At this time, a three-year-old boy was clamoring to pee.

Her mother wiped away her tears and walked out of the door with her child, not caring about disrespecting her ancestors at this time.

He took off the little boy's pants and said, "Pee!"

The already desperate woman saw that her child's urine could melt the snow.

An idea suddenly came to him and he went to the village chief and said, "Chief, I have a way to melt the snow."

But he was too shy to speak, so he had to find his own man and whisper something to his man.

When the man heard his wife's words, his eyes lit up, and he immediately found the mayor.

"Chief, my baby's urine can melt snow. If we pee together, we will be able to make a path."

The mayor was stunned for a moment, then slapped the man and said, "How much urine can melt this snow if you pee on your head?"

However, Hanzi’s words also inspired the township chief.

Urine can melt snow, so can water.

He said to everyone: "Everyone, take out the pots. Let's boil the snow and fix it with water. The temperature outside is extremely cold and it will definitely freeze. We will create an ice path and we will climb out."
