Spring dyed pear blossoms

When Da Zhou's army arrived in Huai'an City, it was the coldest winter of the year.

The heavy snow in the north has never stopped this year, and it has lasted for two months.

The soldiers who arrived here for the first time could hardly resist the cold, and most of them fell ill on the couch.Not to mention practicing, some even need someone to help them get up.

Looking at such a scene, Zheng Huasong was very worried, and stood on the snow with a frown.Not to mention these soldiers, even he himself couldn't bear it.If he hadn't been wearing good-quality fox fur and brought a lot of warming tonics, he would have fallen ill too.

If such soldiers go to the battlefield, they may be defeated within ten days.

Holding the stove in one hand, he shouted to the soldiers on guard, "Go, invite Master Meng and King Liang to discuss matters in the army."

The soldier got the order and immediately responded loudly, "Yes!"

After a while, Meng Qiucheng came.

She knew that Zheng Huasong would be worried, so she originally wanted to take a look.As a result, when I walked halfway, I happened to meet the soldiers who came to report.

When Zheng Huasong saw Meng Qiucheng, he said, "Master Meng, most of the soldiers in the army are sick. What should we do?"

Meng Qiucheng stepped forward to comfort him and said, "Don't worry, general. It's normal for the cold in the north to be unable to adapt for a while. I also lived in the mountains for a while back then, and the temperature in the mountains in winter was extremely cold, not much warmer than the north. Teacher taught me For me, I also taught some ways to strengthen my body, I can give it a try. But the way is one of them, and the word perseverance is more important.”

After hearing this, Zheng Huasong frowned, showing a hint of a smile, "What can Mr. Meng do?"

Meng Qiucheng smiled and said nothing, but turned his head to look at the soldier who sent him the news, and ordered, "Let the people of the Huotou army prepare ginger soup for the whole army. No matter whether they are sick or not, each person has a bowl. After drinking, Regardless of whether we can get out of bed or not, we will gather at the front of the battle."

The soldier looked embarrassed and glanced at Zheng Huasong.

Zheng Huasong didn't know what Meng Qiucheng was up to, but seeing that he was confident, he nodded to the soldier, "Just do as Master Meng ordered."

In about half a cup of tea, everyone was assembled.

Standing in front of the formation, Meng Qiucheng looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky.

"I know you are not used to such a cold climate. The Northern Jiang barbarians have lived here for a long time and have long been accustomed to this climate. But Fuchaertai and his soldiers were also soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If they can do it, you Can't it be done?"

Suddenly one of them sneered, "If Mr. Meng was like us, I'm afraid he wouldn't say that."

Looking for the reputation, Meng Qiucheng's eyebrows turned cold, she was very impressed with this man.

The name of this person is Liu Yiquan, and he is a lieutenant colonel.He is tall and healthy.Along the way, this man took care of the sick soldiers mostly.

But when marching and fighting, on the battlefield, you can't just rely on others to protect yourself. Once others can't get out to protect you, you will die for sure.Although Liu Yiquan had good intentions, his kindness would probably kill those soldiers.

Meng Qiucheng smiled, stared at him with a downcast face, took off the neck guard around his neck, and untied the fox-fur cape behind him.Pass it to the soldier next to him.

At this moment, what she was wearing was not much different from those of these soldiers, even thinner.

She stretched her muscles and walked up to Liu Yi's whole body. "Since you have doubts about me, I will practice with you today, what do you think?"

Liu Yiquan said with a disdainful smile, "I'm afraid that my lord is too rich to endure such hardships. If my lord also falls ill, I will not be able to bear the charge in the end."

"Oh, you are very shrewd! In this way, no matter what happens to me, I won't blame you, how about it?"

Liu Yiquan also became energetic when he heard that, this Meng Qiucheng is a greedy and lustful person, everyone knows it.Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to be presumptuous.Now he boasted so much that he was simply beyond his control.It would be a pleasure to take this opportunity to give him a good blow.

"Your Excellency is serious?"

Meng Qiucheng nodded, "Really! However, I also have a condition."

Liu Yiquan frowned.

Seeing his appearance, Meng Qiucheng smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not trying to embarrass you. It's just that if I can do it today, each of you must do it. Those who can't do it will be dealt with according to military law, and they will be held accountable for thirty years."

Liu Yiquan simply put his mind to one side, they have all fought on the battlefield, so they are not as good as a greedy, lustful, easy-going person?

He nodded immediately, "That's a deal."

Seeing his swearing-in face, and the appearance of winning good things, Meng Qiucheng also secretly laughed in his heart.

Wei Yuanhao rushed over, and couldn't help but be a little surprised to see all the soldiers eager to fight.

Zheng Huasong told him about the bet between Meng Qiucheng and Liu Yiquan, but Wei Yuanhao sneered, "It's just a sensationalist. These soldiers have never experienced such severe cold, and it is inevitable that they will get sick. If such a bet is lost, it will only make people feel sick. The soldiers were even more frustrated. General Zheng, as the commander-in-chief of the first army, why did he allow him to behave like this?"

Zheng Huasong didn't take it seriously, "I thought Mr. Meng would win. If he really won, it would be the best encouragement and proof for these soldiers."

"Does General Zheng really think he can do it?"

"Whether it can be done, we will know after today."

Seeing that Zheng Huasong was partial to Meng Qiucheng, Wei Yuanhao's face turned livid, "Since General Zheng has already made his decision, there is no need for me to be here. I will leave first."

Zheng Huasong didn't stop him either.

This time Fucheng Wang said that he would not be sick, and the emperor had already taken action.Even though King Fucheng and King Liang were quite famous in their daily lives, he has seen how many people under these virtuous names are not old-fashioned.Especially this time, it was a coincidence that King Fucheng was ill.

Although he seldom interferes with court affairs, he is loyal and evil, and he will not easily listen to what others say.

The situation between the DPRK and China is clearly superior to the emperor, and if someone harbors evil intentions, this time it will definitely be completely eliminated.

After noon, Meng Qiucheng's brows were stained with a layer of white mist by the snow. The soldiers brought ginger soup, and Meng Qiucheng drank it in one gulp, feeling much warmer in his body.

Looking sideways at Liu Yiquan, he was very persistent.

Most of the rest of the soldiers couldn't hold on anymore, but this Liu Yiquan could still grit his teeth.Meng Qiucheng couldn't help but hooked his lips, this man is a man.

After another hour, more soldiers could no longer hold on. Some of their lips turned purple from the cold and trembled, and some were almost too cold to speak a complete sentence.

Meng Qiucheng ordered people to bring ginger soup again, and then sternly shouted, "Masters, is that all you can do? It seems that you are living a relatively comfortable life on weekdays. After drinking the ginger soup, all Undress me, and run. If someone admits that he is not a man, I will not force you. Go and receive the punishment yourself, and I will not pursue it today. If someone still shrinks back tomorrow, you will also receive the punishment. The day after tomorrow will still be the same .”

Liu Yiquan shouted, "My lord, isn't this killing someone?"

"Hey, Lieutenant Liu, we have agreed before. If you can't do it, you will be punished. Besides, I have decided to share weal and woe with you and urge you to train every day. Or should you be scrambling on the battlefield? The soldiers who come out of the rolling are not as good as me, a civil servant?"

Liu Yiquan was still about to refute, but Meng Qiucheng immediately stopped him, "Okay Captain Liu, you might as well save your energy. There are still a few hours before you leave Hei, in case you can't hold on. Oh, the military order is like a mountain, since you If you have said that, don't blame my subordinates for being merciless."

Liu Yiquan saw that Meng Qiucheng was just like them, although he was not shirtless, he was only wearing a thin long gown.But it wasn't affected at all.I really underestimated Meng Qiucheng before, but I didn't expect him to be so persistent.

Thinking of what he had said, Liu Yiquan had no choice but to grit his teeth, and drank the ginger soup sent by Huotoubing in one gulp.

The sky was getting dark, and the torment of this day was more exhausting than going to the battlefield.

Many people have no strength to move.

Meng Qiucheng ordered the Huotou army to melt the snow water, boil it, pulled a cloth around it, and ordered people to bring a lot of stoves from Fucha Mansion to put them inside.

Liu Yiquan and a kind of soldier looked at this posture and were a little puzzled for a while.

A soldier in the fire hurriedly said, "Master Meng prepared this for you. It is said to go to the body to relieve the cold and relieve fatigue. Although the snow water is not clean, it is good for everyone to take a bath after the heat is turned on." Mr. Meng is really thoughtful."

While praising the soldier, he winked at Liu Yiquan and said, "Lieutenant Liu, I heard that many of the soldiers under your command today are inferior to Mr. Meng. Hehe, I can't tell that Mr. Meng looks like a weak scholar, no Thinking of comparing you five big and three thick guys."

Liu Yiquan glared at him, "It's just a dead duck with a stubborn mouth. I'd like to see how long he can last. Hmph!"

Seeing that he was unhappy, the fire-headed soldier didn't want to say anything, so he took the water and left.

When we returned to Fucha Mansion from the camp, it was already dark.

Lao Xie and Lord Zhuang came out of the hall and met Meng Qiucheng.

Meng Qiucheng glanced at the hall, and Jin Xi came out to greet her and said first, "I'm back! I just discussed with Master Zhuang and Lao Xie. When the two armies are at war, I will follow the Queen's way." She Pulling Meng Qiucheng's fox-fur cloak tighter, "The longer it drags on, the more uneasy I feel."

Master Zhuang smiled and said, "Miss Jinxi said that the day when the two armies are fighting is indeed the best time. All right, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Master Zhuang pushed Lao Xie, "Are you going?"

Lao Xie also smiled, "Of course I have to go. I don't want to stay, it's an eyesore."

After listening to the words of the two, Jin Xi realized that her actions just now were too intimate.He lowered his head in embarrassment.

Meng Qiucheng spread his hands, "It seems that you have already made arrangements for me. Heh, I am happy and relaxed. By the way, Lao Xie, remember to tell everyone that I did not keep my promise, I..."

"Needless to say anything, everyone knows. You are doing your best for their own good. It's just that some things are beyond our control. Everyone doesn't want to see you in trouble, because you are the only descendant of General Deng. People." After Lao Xie finished speaking, he pulled Master Zhuang and said, "Okay, we won't bother you two."
