Chapter 31: The Enemy Retreats

"Dasu, you'd better put on your furs!" the soldier said to Hei Zhichang: "It's snowing outside and the wind is strong!"

The oncoming strong wind brought flying snow, and Changzhi's beard and hair turned white, but he waved his hand and pushed away the fur in the hands of his soldiers. His father had taught him since he was a child: A general will not wear fur in winter and will not wear it in summer.

He did the same thing by fanning the cover until it rained, so as to know whether the soldiers were cold or hot. He passed through tents one after another, stopping from time to time, gently patting the huddled soldiers, and asking a few questions in a low voice.

When he returned to the tent after patrolling the camp, he had become a snowman. The soldiers hurriedly brushed off the snow on his body and gave him hot soup. He took two sips and sighed: "The snow is so heavy, it seems that I can only

Retreat for now!"

Zhouliucheng.

"Ayun, are you okay?" Fuyu Fengzhang asked.

"Your Highness, I'm fine!" Gui Shiyun lied, her voice was very loud, as if this could make the lie come true: "What about you?"

Fuyu Fengzhang frowned. He walked to the table and poured himself a glass of wine: "It's very bad. There's so much snow outside. Black Teeth Changzhi and Sha Zha Xiangru have already withdrawn their troops!" He poured a glass of wine into his glass.

After finishing the drink, he paused hard on the table: "It seems that even God is not on my side!"

Gui Shiyun carefully filled Fuyu Fengzhang's wine glass, and whispered comforting words: "Your Highness, please be at ease. Just wait until spring begins before launching a large-scale army!"

Fuyu Fengzhang looked at Gui Shiyun, with a smile on his lips. He patted the chair next to him and said with a smile: "Ayun, pour yourself a glass of wine, let's sit down and talk!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Gui Shiyun poured herself a glass of wine and sat side by side with Fuyu Fengzhang. Fuyu Fengzhang grabbed the other's hand and said in a low voice: "Ayun, you and I are husband and wife. In front of me, you

There is no need to be restrained. When I regain the old capital and I ascend the throne as king, you will be my queen, and this position of Ah Heng will belong to your brother!"

"Ah?" Gui Shiyun was startled, her mouth slightly opened, and she looked at Fuyu Fengzhang blankly: "Then, Your Highness, didn't you already marry a Japanese noblewoman? Even if you are the queen, you should be like that

Is your sister first?"

"Ayun!" Fuyu Fengzhang laughed: "I am not a hostage in the Japanese country for only one or two days. The Japanese treat me just normally. Suddenly they want to marry me as a noble girl. What are their intentions? How could I not know? If it was a matter of time,

If a Japanese woman becomes the queen, I will be afraid of endless troubles. What’s more, if I can ascend the throne and become the king, your brother will make the greatest contribution. If I don’t make you my queen, who will?"

"Then, why that day——"

"Are you talking about why you want Legislator Daochen to be the right general, standing alongside your brother?"

Being told what was on his mind by Fuyu Fengzhang, Oni Shiyun felt a little flustered and lowered his head instinctively. Fuyu Fengzhang sighed and stood up: "Ayun, if you follow my wishes, I naturally hope that your brother will be the best one.

, more than ten thousand people, but have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?"

"as a result of?"

"Yes, Ayun, you are a girl after all, so you still don't understand some things!" Fuyu Fengzhang sighed: "Your brother and I alone are not enough to fight against Tang and Silla and revive Baekje. So.

I took Na Daochen as the right general, just to borrow his strength and reputation?"

"Seriously?" Gui Shiyun asked doubtfully.

"Of course it's true!" Fuyu Fengzhang laughed and said: "The poem goes: 'Chang Di's Hua, Hubei Weiwei, all people today are better than brothers'. Your Guishi clan is originally a member of the royal family, so let's take care of it.

You are still my elder brother. Can I, Fuyu Fengzhang, trust someone with a foreign surname despite the distrust of my own relatives?"

Hearing this, Gui Shiyun was finally convinced by Fuyu Fengzhang. She lowered her head in shame: "Your Highness is right. I will naturally persuade your brother. Please don't worry!"

Fuyu Fengzhang smiled and nodded, and said a few more words of comfort, making Gui Shiyun happy before letting her leave. As Gui Shiyun left, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he returned to Beside the wooden table, he began to write quickly. After a while, he sealed the letter, stamped it with his own seal, and called a close aide: "Send this letter to the right general without any mistakes!"

Sixian City, Erzhagang Village.

"The Baekje people have retreated!" Liu An's voice was a little hoarse, but he still couldn't hide the ecstasy in his heart.

"With such heavy snow, all the troops will freeze to death if they don't retreat!" Shen Faseng spat: "With this damn weather, I bet that many people will freeze to death on their way back!"

Everyone spoke one after another, but Wang Wenzuo remained silent, with a solemn expression, like a bronze statue. Gradually, the conversation subsided, and his eyes focused on this silent companion.

"Sanlang, why don't you speak? Is there something wrong?" Liu An asked.

"Nothing!" Wang Wenzuo patted the fence: "When the snow stops, we'd better strengthen the fortifications here, dig an extra trench, and increase the height of the wall by three feet!"

"Why dig trenches?" Shen Faseng asked: "As soon as domestic reinforcements arrive, it will be our turn to attack!" Cui Hongdu was much older than him, and he heard Wang Wenzuo's overtone: "Sanlang, what do you think? Reinforcements may not arrive so soon?"

"Well!" Wang Wenzuo said: "Have you ever thought that if there is such a heavy snow here, the snow will only be heavier in Goguryeo, Liaodong, and the court will definitely withdraw its troops. Then the Goguryeo people will be free to attack Silla. We He is the only lone army left behind! In the final analysis, the court wants to fight Goguryeo, not Baekje!"

There was silence on the tower, with only the sound of gusts of wind. After a while, Liu An said quietly: "If this is the case, that would be too bad!"

"I don't think so. This heavy snowfall is an opportunity!" Shen Faseng shouted loudly. He was the youngest and the most violent in the small group with Liu An as the core: "A good opportunity to turn the situation around!"

"Reverse the situation?" Liu An smiled bitterly: "Qilang, don't you understand? Our side is just a partial force. Once the Liaodong side withdraws its troops, our side will become abandoned!"

"I don't care whether I abandon my son or not!" Master Shen said loudly: "Liu Wu, where do you think these Baekje people under the city retreated to?"

"It should be Zhenxian City, their winter camp should be there!"

"That's right, it's Zhenhyeonseong! There are so many of them, they definitely won't just stay in the winter camp and eat free meals. As the general of Baekje, I will disperse the troops and let them go home, and then gather them again after spring plowing. In the meantime Wouldn’t it be a good opportunity for us?”

"Are you crazy if you want to send troops to attack the Baekje people's winter camp on a snowy day?"
