In late October, the wind roared and the weather was freezing.
The armor is cold to the bones, and the sword is difficult to unsheath because of the frost, especially in the desolate western grasslands, where the roaring northwest wind roars like a beast of prey, and pedestrians walking in the wilderness will be blown to a staggering if they are not careful.
The situation in Yongliang did not develop as Zhao Kuangyin expected, and in the face of Yang Su and Zhu Yuanzhang's two-way attack, the Xiliang army did not be able to spell out a lose-lose situation.
Under the powerful offensive of Xu Da, Yang Lin, Yang Xuangan, Shi Wansui, Zhu Di, Lan Yu, Li Wenzhong and other fierce generals, the Xiliang army was defeated and retreated.
After half a year, Ma Teng and Han Sui have successively lost the four counties of Anding, Tianshui, Nan'an, and Longxi, and lost half of the soldiers and horses.
It can be said that if it weren't for the timely arrival of winter, Ma Teng and Han Sui would have ushered in the result of extinction in less than two months.
Due to the cold weather, Yang Su was stationed in Didao, Longxi, while Zhu Yuanzhang led the army to be stationed in Zuli County, and after the weather warmed up in the spring of next year, Ma and Han were wiped out in one fell swoop.
Zhao Kuangyin since the early autumn with 30,000 Han troops to escape from Wuguan, all the way to the west, while buying people's hearts while cutting off and slaughtering dissidents, after killing more than 2,000 people in a cruel secret, the discordant voices in the team gradually dissipated, Zhao Kuangyin and Chang Yuchun completely controlled this army.
These 30,000 horses were mainly composed of poor people in Qingzhou, Runan, and Nanyang, and served the Eastern Han Dynasty for about two or three years.
After crossing Chang'an and going deeper into Yongzhou for more than 1,000 miles, even if he knew that he had been deceived, there was no turning back.
In this troubled world, human life is as cheap as a mustard, and a large number of people die every day, and being able to survive is the most important thing In order to wait until the Xiliang army and the Luoyang army were defeated, Zhao Kuangyin ordered the team to march slowly, not taking Yang Su's urging order to heart at all, and only walking thirty miles a day.
Wherever he passed, he ordered Chang Yuchun and Hu Yanqing to forcibly recruit troops in the local area under the banner of the imperial court, forcibly levy grain and grass from the local gentry, county seats, and township pavilions, and plunder horses.
From Wuguan to Yongxian for 1,500 miles, Zhao Kuangyin's men and horses walked for nearly two months, forcibly conscripted 15,000 people into the army, and looted more than 100,000 stone grain.
This made Yang Su furious, and wanted to send troops back to recruit Zhao Kuangyin, but he was afraid that after withdrawing the troops, the advantages established by Ma Teng would be lost, so he could only hold back for the time being, and persuade Zhao Kuangyin with good words, so that he could march quickly and come to Di Dao to rendezvous.
It was Yang Su who agreed to accept Zhao Kuangyin's surrender at the beginning, and it was difficult to ride a tiger at the moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was happy to stand by and watch, seeing Yang Su suffer from the enemy on his back and back, and he would also be able to join him when he returned to Luoyang, so he did not move and let Zhao Kuangyin do whatever he wanted.
Just when Zhao Kuangyin was struggling, Zhang Lu, whose ancestral home was in Peiguofeng County, started an incident in Hanzhong, Guangwei, and Tianshui counties at the same time with five buckets of rice, and was severely injured by Liu Yu in Hanzhong.
However, in one fell swoop, he killed the Taishou of Guangwei and Tianshui counties canonized by Yang Su, controlled the place, and then sent an envoy to Liu Bei to sue for peace.
"This is a God-given opportunity, and the sky will not stop my Zhao Kuangyin road" Zhao Kuangyin, who got the news, was overjoyed, and took the slogan of begging the country for thieves, and led his troops to attack Zhang Lu, taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Wudou Mijiao in the city, and in one fell swoop broke through the Linwei and Tianshui counties of Guangwei County, and captured Zhang Lu alive.
After that, Zhao Kuangyin persuaded with kind words and promised that after the success of the future, the Wudoumi Sect would be the state religion, and Zhang Lu would be the leader, and the system of coexistence of government and religion would be implemented, and he successfully annexed the 15,000 Wudoumi Sect followers under Zhang Lu, and recovered Zhang Wei, Yang Ren, Yang Ang and other dry soy sauce parties, as well as Zhang Lu's military advisor Yan Pu.
Hearing that Zhang Lu was making trouble behind him, even if the battle on the front line was tense, Yang Su did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent Yang Lin and Yang Guang to lead 30,000 horses to turn back and quell the rebellion, but unexpectedly Zhao Kuangyin took the lead.
Faced with more than 50,000 troops in Zhao Kuangyin's hands, Yang Lin and Yang Guang did not dare to act rashly, so they had to send a messenger to ask Yang Su for advice.
Yang Su sent an envoy to reproach Zhao Kuangyin, but Zhao Kuangyin said that he was a thief for the country, and the soldiers were exhausted after traveling two thousand miles away, and the weather was getting colder, so they could only temporarily rest in Tianshui and Guangwei.
When Yang Su led his troops to the expedition, there were 100,000 people, and after fighting with Ma Teng for half a year, he lost 20,000, and replenished 20,000 by collecting prisoners and conscription, and there are still 100,000 troops.
There was the Xiliang Army in front of him, which still had the strength to fight, and behind him there was Zhao Kuangyin, who had more than 50,000 troops, and Yang Suzhi felt anxious.
But since Zhao Kuangyin refused to tear his face and found a decent reason, Yang Su had no choice but to temporarily suppress his anger, destroy the Xiliang Army in one fell swoop after the beginning of spring, and then settle accounts with Zhao Kuangyin after the autumn.
For princes like Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Zhao Kuangyin, winter is the most favorite season, because winter can give them a good chance to breathe, of course, this also includes Sun Ce, who was overwhelmed by the Han army.
Since Yang Su couldn't help himself, Zhao Kuangyin was relieved to train soldiers and horses in Guangwei and Tianshui, as long as he caught the days when the sun was more abundant, he would take the soldiers out to practice.
In peacetime, it is a time to raise soldiers for a thousand days, but now it is a time to raise soldiers for a time and use soldiers for a thousand days, and next year's death or life depends on the effect of this winter.
What especially made Zhao Kuangyin feel fortunate was that his decision to coax Chang Yuchun to join the gang was too correct.
Hu Yanzan and Hu Yanqing father and son have force, but they cannot be compared with Chang Yuchun in terms of training and command, and with the existence of Chang Yuchun, at least the strength of their own side has been raised by a grade.
Got a chance to breathe, Zhao Pu analyzed the situation to Zhao Kuangyin, and it was roughly the same as Zhou Yu and Zhu Sheng's analysis, after Liu Wei eliminated Sun Ce, the most dangerous was Liu Bei who was entrenched in Bashu.
And Liu Bei will definitely see this situation clearly, since Ma Teng and Han Sui are unreliable, then go and hug Liu Bei's thigh, so he sent an envoy to Chengdu with a lot of money to make friends with Liu Bei.
At this time, Liu Bei had already made up his mind to unite with Sun Ce and oppose Liu Bian.
After receiving Zhao Kuangyin's letter, he comforted him with kind words and wrote back a letter expressing his willingness to advance and retreat with Zhao Kuangyin and seek a place in this troubled world.
If Zhao Kuangyin's situation is critical, he can ask Liu Yu in Hanzhong for help, as long as he can help, he will definitely not refuse.
The Yongliang area is getting colder and colder, and Jizhou, which is north of the Yellow River, is also dripping into ice, freezing three feet.
After the fall of Yuan Shao, Ran Min and Gongsun Chan fought with Cao Cao for Jizhou with the strength of their horns, and Xiahou Yuan led Li Tong, Cao Chun, Wen Ping, Cao Wenzhao and others to repel Gongsun Chan in the Bohai Sea and occupy Nanpi.
Cao Cao personally commanded Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Kuai Liang and other scholars, as well as Guo Ziyi, Wang Yanzhang, Xia Luqi, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Cao Ning, Shan Xiongxin and other fierce generals to fight with Ran Min continuously, repelled Ran Min, and successively captured Changshan, Zhao State, and Anping.
Just when Cao Cao and Ran Min were fighting, Xiahoudun led his troops north from Taiyuan to attack Yanmen, echoing Cao Cao from afar.
At the same time, Temujin's cavalry began to enter the Daixian and Zhuolu areas controlled by Ran Min to plunder, and in the face of great pressure, Ran Min dispatched Han Baohu to Daijun to defend and contain the invasion of the Huns, while leading his troops to retreat to Lunu, the seat of Zhongshan State.
On a cold winter morning, the 30,000 soldiers under Ran Min began to retreat, trying to shake off the trailing pursuers while Cao Jun was not paying attention.
"Brothers, speed up the march, after retreating into Lunu, this heavenly king invites you to drink" Ran Min put down the Zhu Longma in his crotch, hooked the halberd in his left hand and the double-edged spear in his right hand, and loudly urged his soldiers to retreat north against the cold wind.
In the cold wind, a scout rode his horse at a gallop, pulling a long tone on the horse, obviously with an urgent military situation.
"Speak slowly" Ran Min immediately speared and said in a deep voice.
The scout arched his hand on the horse and said: "Qiqi Heavenly King, Liu Pi and Gong Du, who were in charge of the broken queen, were chased by the cavalry led by Wang Yanzhang and Xia Luqi, and both sides were killed, and the Cao army is encircling and suppressing our rear men."

Ran Min shouted at Song Jiang beside him: "Gongming, you, Li Kui, and Wu Yong continue to lead the main army to retreat northward, and this Heavenly King will personally break the rear."
If you don't kill the king and the head of Xia, you will not return it." t1706231537:
