Long live the general

The wind and snow covered the heavy door one after another.

Today's snow is very heavy. During the short journey from Huo Mansion to Ziwei Palace and then to the apse, goose-feather-like snow has evenly spread on the stone bricks and palace tiles.

The white snow added a touch of bright color to the Ziwei Palace. The white snow fell on the branches and railings, and after covering up all kinds of variegated colors, the Ziwei Palace looked more clean and pure.

Huo Yi got out of the carriage. In the silence, only the creaking sound was particularly ear-piercing.

Zhang Zhongchang made a gesture, and then he was clever? The servant hurried over holding the umbrella, Huo Yi took the umbrella by himself, and strode into the Qilin Hall.

In the hall, there are not only Zhou Zhenyan, but also Gongsun Yang.

Gongsun Yang has always been highly valued by Zhou Zhenyan. Zhou Zhenyan asked him to be the chief person in charge of the construction of two counties in the Hetao area.However, Gongsun Yang didn't know how to build the border county. He had a group of people working on it, and he didn't insist on going in to point fingers. He just monitored the progress and kept an eye out for any problems.

The appearance of Gongsun Yang here means that there is a problem in the two counties.

"Huo Qing, come sit down, is it snowing outside?" Zhou Zhenyan's face was a little gloomy, but after seeing Huo Yi, he managed to relax and even said a word of concern.

"Here? It just snowed on the road." Huo Yi handed the umbrella to the servant, and the warm incense was lit in the hall, slowly replacing the cold air on his body.

Zhou Zhenyan said in a low voice, "The snow in the north is heavier than that in Chang'an, and it falls earlier."

Chang'an is located in the northern part of the entire territory of Dai Viet. There will be heavy snowfall every year. As the saying goes, "Auspicious snow heralds a good year, and heavy snow is a good thing. Especially in Chang'an, there is a plain area suitable for farming. Is it one of the granaries in the world?

But for the Hetao area, where tens of thousands of people have been mobilized thousands of miles away for construction, the sudden heavy snowfall is not a good thing.

Gongsun Yang explained: "I just got the news that a once-in-a-hundred-year heavy snowfall suddenly fell on the northern border seven days ago, blocking the path from the Central Plains to the Hetao area. Tens of thousands of people were stranded in the heavy snow. It was blocked, materials could not be transported in, and laborers could not get out. There are three routes like this? The entire? Transportation plan is completely stagnant."

The snow disaster that happens once in a century.

Huo Yi was a little dizzy for a while, and took a deep breath.

No wonder Zhou Zhenyan called him over urgently, this matter is indeed serious.That is to say, because of this mighty? snow disaster, at least tens of thousands of civilians were trapped in the snow, and all traffic arteries were blocked.

Seven days ago? News, now I don't know how the situation is.Seven days was the fastest time to spread the news from Jiuyuan County to Ziwei Palace in Chang'an City in the heavy snow.

Gongsun Yang continued: "Not only that? According to the current statistical results, a large number of farmlands have been damaged, winter crops have been destroyed; tens of thousands of houses have collapsed, and forests and wild animals have been severely damaged. Although the heavy snow has stopped, the temperature is now The freezing disaster is getting worse, and the number of damaged and dead people is increasing."

"We have sent people to gradually clear the snow, but with little effect." Gongsun Yang said: "Also, there are horse bandits and Huns taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble and rob supplies."

After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the hall, and Huo Yi felt his body was invaded by the cold again, and the wisp of warm fragrance became more distant and thinner.

The road is blocked by heavy snow, let alone the farmers? It is very difficult to ensure that they do not freeze to death.Huo Yi felt a chill when he thought of those people trapped in the snow.

It's been seven days... a decision must be made immediately.

Zhou Zhenxie said: "I am going to let the army stationed in Chang'an City go to Qingxue in the north and resist the Huns' invasion."

Huo Yi nodded. The army stationed in Chang'an City, apart from the Northern Army, are the two armies under Li Yi and Murong Yuan.This is a "nice" way to increase the speed of clearing snow and keep enemies at bay.

But how many troops should be used to go there should also be carefully considered.If there are too many people, the supplies will not be available.

Huo Yi can always feel the feeling of being stuck in the neck by limited supplies, presumably the emperor's aggrieved feeling is even worse.

Therefore, Zhang Laiqian has always emphasized that there must be stock in the national treasury to prepare for various disasters. From spring to winter every year in Dai Viet, all kinds of disasters never stop. Some are big and some are big. Small, as long as the problem can be resolved within one county, it can be called a peaceful and smooth year.

Owner farmers who own a small amount of land and live by farming and weaving have almost no ability to resist these accidents.They can only live on by selling their land, and then become tenant farmers, which also accelerates the progress of land annexation.Land mergers will lead to a large number of refugees, lower productivity, and social unrest.

Therefore, after various disasters, the imperial court must send people to deal with them and open the treasury for disaster relief.

"What do you think? Who will handle it? This matter is better?" Zhou Zhenyan asked him.

Huo Yi: "I'll take [-] cavalry to Jiuyuan County." He had to solve this matter himself. In addition to the heavy snow, there were also the problems of the Xiongnu and horse bandits.

Zhou Zhenxie: "Okay, you and Gongsun Yang will go together. Gongsunqing did a good job in dealing with the flood in Wuchang County last time. This time, the disaster relief in Jiuyuan County is also entrusted to you.",

Gongsun Yang promised.

"As for the opening of the national treasury, you can go directly to Da Sinong." Zhou Zhenyan finally calmed down after making arrangements.

Snow disasters are similar to previous floods, locust plagues, and earthquakes. If it was the past, although Zhou Zhenzhen would pay attention to handling it, he would not be so nervous.

The main reason is that this snowstorm has something to do with the construction of Bianjun County, and a sudden movement will affect the whole body, so Zhou Zhenyan's pressure will increase sharply.

After Huo Yi left Ziwei Palace, he immediately went to the Northern Army to order troops.The soldiers? Eat military rations and use military noise. Emperor Dai Viet would rather eat less himself, and never treated them badly. Although the heavy snow made them flinch and fear, they had no complaints.

Qiu Hongguang returned to the Northern Army after he went to Ziwei Palace, and was also in the army at this time.Huo Yi added Qiu Hongguang. After drawing [-] cavalry, he was going to set off early tomorrow morning. Before that, he had to wait for Zhang Laiqian's supplies.

He went back to Huo Mansion once.

The heavy snowfall in Chang'an City hasn't stopped yet. People coming and going with snowflakes on their bodies, their faces are calm, and they are even happy because of the heavy snowfall. Many people don't know about the snow disaster on the northern border.The heavy snow has already accumulated a thick layer on the ground. How many children are playing snowball fights, and the sudden laughter and noise are floating in the quiet street. There are also people lying on the window, cooking tea and wine, watching the noise outside. Of? Snow.

Huo Lingyue was making a snowman in the yard, and Cong Yunmeng looked at her from under the eaves with a slight smile on her lips.She may recall something from a long time ago. In the heavy snow, the little Huo Yi and his brother Huo Xin were gesticulating and playing in the yard. She prepared hot tea to keep them from the cold. Huo Fengnian was bored. Be by your side.

No matter when it is snow or winter, there is no change, but things change and things change.

Huo Yi's heart sank.

But he is the kind of person who doesn't make a show of his face when he returns home no matter what happens outside, and doesn't want his family to worry too much.Seeing him coming back, Huo Lingyue asked happily, "Would you like to make a snowman with me?"

Huo Yi pulled a smile in front of him, and waved his hands to let her play by herself.Cong Yunmeng could see that he had something on his mind, and said softly, "Come here and have a cup of hot tea."

Huo Yi hummed, walked over and sat down, holding a cup of warm tea, and said, "Mother, I'm going to the north tomorrow."

Cong Yunmeng asked keenly: "Take the army?"

"Yes."

"Didn't you say? Hasn't there been a war in the past two years?"

"There are other things." Huo Yi thought about it for a while, and said simply: "The road is blocked by heavy snow over there, and I will take the army to clear the snow."

"When can I come back?" Cong Yunmeng was a little worried: "I have to? Are you going?"

Qingxue alone? If so, do we need such a big battle?

"Deal with it? I'll be back when I'm done, don't worry." Huo Yi smiled a little relaxedly: "There will be no war this time."

Everyone believes in Huo Yi's combat ability and believes that he is invincible, but Cong Yunmeng still worries about every battle.

Huo Lingyue listened for a while and asked, "Little uncle, can you take me with you?"

"...What am I taking you for?" Huo Yi glanced at the snowman on the ground. There was a spear in front of the snowman, and there was a piece of red cloth behind him, making it look like a cloak.

"I want to visit the army." Huo Lingyue insisted.

"You're too young." Huo Yi gestured: "It's not a fun thing for us to go to Qingxue."

"I didn't go to play either? Ah." Huo Lingyue was extremely depressed.

"How much are you at home? Stay with grandma. I'm not at home, so it's up to you to take care of her."

Huo Yi's words were not entirely to prevaricate his little niece.Has he always felt guilty for not being filial to Cong Yunmeng's side, and now he finally came back from Xihebian County, but he came back for two years, and for a year he was out fighting, or he was going to On the way back to the city after fighting the war and withdrawing troops, he had almost the same virtue as his father back then.

He thought he could stay at home for two years this time, but the sudden snowstorm made him have to go north again.Huo Yi is not very optimistic about the situation this time, ruthless natural disasters are sometimes much more terrifying than the Huns.

Murong Mansion.

Facing the heavy snow, Murong Yuan was about to meet up with some friends? Prime Minister Murong called him to the study when his friends went out to enjoy the snow.

He was wondering in his heart, and wanted to ask his father why he was in such a hurry to call him here, when Murong An said with a serious face: "I just got the news from the palace that the snowstorm on the northern border was severe and transportation was blocked. His Majesty sent General Huo to lead troops to Qingxue in the north. General Huo has already ordered troops from the Northern Army, and he will leave soon?"

Murong Yuan touched his face and asked: "What does this have to do with me? Has it anything to do with it?"

Murong An said: "You go and ask the emperor for orders, say? You go too."

"...No way." Murong Yuan was taken aback, "Qingxue didn't fight the Xiongnu either, she was exhausted? She also won't have any military achievements. Isn't this a bad luck? An errand."

Murong Yuan glared and stared: "What do you know? After this matter is done, it will be your turn to go to the Northern Expedition later."

Murong Yuan still shook his head, and gave his father a reasonable analysis: "Did Your Majesty take the initiative to find me about this matter, it's best not to ask him what he means, otherwise His Majesty will definitely be displeased. "

"Besides, there are very few generals that Da Yue can take out now. I did not succeed in the last battle. Your Majesty will give me another chance."

Today I flipped through a fanfic about the world.

Rimworld is so fun, it is the most fun game in the world (it’s just that my personal feelings are not objective), why are there so few fanfiction, I really want to write it
