Tian Yuqiao received the peace letter that Fang Wenhao asked Daimei to bring back. Unexpectedly, he was already in the border town. Now that the night was deep, Tian Yuqiao didn't wake up Wang and the little guy.
In the early morning of the next day, Tian Yuqiao let the little guy read Fang Wenhao's letter again.
After listening, Wang took the letter paper and looked at it again and again.
"Mom, you took down the letter paper. It should be like this." the little guy corrected Wang's mistake in time.
Wang smiled awkwardly and asked, "qiao'er, did Hao'er say that his clothes are enough? Is there enough food there?"
Tian Yuqiao shook his head silently and said, "Mom, I didn't say anything over there. I guess it shouldn't be a big problem?"
At this time, Tianshui City, the northwest border city, has been snowing for several days. The climate there is very strange. No one can say when it will change.
Naturally, the eldest prince would not go in person, so he arranged for Lao Jiu to take 5000 people to the border city to guard.
As a result, as soon as Lao Jiu and Fang Wenhao got there, they met with heavy snow. The group of Hu people who are used to fighting and hunting in the ice and snow have already launched their own offensive.
They cut off all the water sources outside Tianshui City and grazed inside. The water was full of cattle and sheep feces, and people couldn't drink it directly.
Fortunately, there was such a heavy snow. Now Lao Jiu can only let his soldiers collect the snow in the city and burn it to drink.
"Hao'er, I didn't expect the eldest prince to let us come to such a place. Originally, this city can be given up directly, because it can't echo with other cities. We are alone here. Alas, I didn't expect the eldest prince to be afraid that I used to work for the twelve princes." Lao Jiu said with a bitter smile.
Fang Wenhao comforted him and said, "Uncle nine, don't worry. There's a saying that there must be a way to the front of the mountain."
"I just don't understand. The people in this city have run away. Why does the great prince want us to come here? Does he mean to let us die?" Lao Jiu frowned.
There were eight other generals in the house, all of whom were promoted by Lao Jiu, including the big head.
"Ninth master, my subordinates don't think so," said a bearded deputy general.
"Oh? Tell me what you think."
"My subordinates feel that although it can't be connected with the surrounding cities, once it is captured by the Hu people, it will be like a fortress."
He said, and put some tea bowls on the table, just like a sand table.
Pointing to the middle place, he said, "look, Ninth master, this is our Tianshui city. If it is occupied by the Hu people, it will affect the transportation of the six surrounding cities."
Fang Wenhao noticed that this is simply a hub. Although it seems helpless, once it is gone, the roads and water sources around it will be affected. As long as the Hu people put a poison in it, the people in the other cities will suffer.
That beard was a general who had been guarding the border here for a long time. Now when he said so, Lao Jiu was enlightened.
"I didn't expect Vice General Hu to see so clearly the terrain and situation here. It's hard for you." Lao Jiu patted Vice General Hu on the shoulder.
"All my wives, children and children were killed by the Hu people, so I will fight them to the end."
Fang Wenhao saw the flame of revenge in the eyes of Vice General Hu, which was exactly what he wanted to see. If all the soldiers in the border town can do this, they will not worry about the Hu people.
Originally, the territory here was round. Now it's like being bitten by someone. It's occupied by Hu people. Now the old nine have received the order that they must guard here, and it's best to take back all the lost cities.
For nothing else, Lao Jiu is to get the recognition of the great prince and find a chance to avenge the twelve princes at that time. And Fang Wenhao is even more so. He must make contributions in order to climb up. When he has enough capital to fight against the great prince, it will be the day of his revenge.
"Report! No, our people have been vomiting and diarrhea because they drank the snow water."
"Report to the commander, the officers and men of our 19th unit can't stand up."
Fang Wenhao listened and immediately shouted, "investigate whether these sick soldiers were caused by drinking the snow water."
Big head went straight back to his camp and found that the snow in the pot gave off a light blue light.
He went up directly and kicked the pot over with one foot, which scared the soldiers next to him to escape quickly, so he didn't get burned.
"There is something wrong with the snow. Don't drink it."
"But my Lord, the water source here has been blocked by the Hu people upstream, and the water can't flow in at all."
The big head said, "there's something wrong with the snow. You can't drink it, or we'll all be finished."
Lao Jiu and Fang Wenhao were also anxious to turn around. Fang Wenhao also felt that the snow was strange, so he led big head all night and took more than a dozen agile young soldiers. He planned to sneak into Hu people's camp at night to observe.
"Big head, Hu people can see things clearly at night. I'll let Daimei fly over and check it first."
Fang Wenhao said that and let Dai Mei go. Daimei flew in the direction of the Hu people. After circling in the sky for two times, she fluttered her wings and flew back.
Fang Wenhao asked, "Daimei, have all the people over there gone to bed? If they go to bed, you lift one foot. If not, you lift the other."
Daimei lifted her left paw and told Fang Wenhao that the people over there were in good spirits.
Fang Wenhao fed some millet to Daimei, and then said to big head, "be careful, everyone. Fortunately, there is snow here. We all wear white clothes, but we can't go to dark places."
"Well, I won't die in such a place. Rong Rong and his son are waiting for me." big head said with a smile.
Fang Wenhao smiled bitterly, so he wrote a letter to Tian Yuqiao all night and asked Daimei to send it back. When Tian Yuqiao received the letter, Fang Wenhao was already in Huying.
Although the words of the Hu people were chattering, Fang Wenhao could understand them more or less. They seem to be celebrating, as if they were celebrating the heavy snow.
Dancing one by one, a campfire was set up in the middle of the camp, and cattle and sheep were roasted on the fire.
