    "Uh-" Jia Yuanzhen patted the horse to comfort him, let go of the reins, held the spear in one hand, stamped his feet, and walked slowly into the ice lake.  Every five steps forward, he stabbed down hard with his spear to test the thickness of the ice.  The snow-white ice lake looks calm, but in fact it is full of dangers. Jia Yuanzhen has tried this ice lake before, but he is still very cautious. There are holes hidden somewhere, which can swallow his life if he is not careful.  The tip of the spear struck the ice, making a thumping sound, and white ice shards flew everywhere.  Exploring the path on the ice lake is very labor-intensive. Some scouts just poke some white spots and don't care whether the ice is thick enough to pass the horses and chariots. Some scouts would rather sit by the lake and blow the cold wind for two hours, and then go back.  Make up a cover to get things done.  However, Jia Yuanzhen is a down-to-earth person who works hard. As the military envoy of the Tenth Battalion, he often goes out alone to inspect the situation in person.  "Fortunately, these gangsters didn't ambush me." Jia Yuanzhen grinned.  Walking on the ice was very strenuous. After walking a short distance, he was already out of breath. When his physical strength was about to be exhausted, he turned back, whistled, and climbed on the horse. He felt as if his legs were used to lead.  Fortunately, during his time in the army, his equestrian skills have become quite good, and the old horse knows the way, so without much effort, the horse can gallop back as he pleases.  The journey went very smoothly. When we returned to the camp, we were already snowmen and our horses were snow horses.  At the gate of the camp, Jia Yuanzhen noticed something different. He prepared the war horses and stepped into the tent. Seeing the expressions of Zuo Nianyuan and Luo Huan, Jia Yuanzhen became more and more sure of his judgment.  "The army is going north?" Jia Yuanzhen put down his helmet and asked in a deep voice.  "Exactly." Luo Huan said excitedly, "Brother Jia, look, what are the chances of winning this time?" Jia Yuanzhen shook his head, reached out and took the bowl of warm wine handed over by Zuo Nianyuan, closed his eyes slightly and drank it.  As he went down, the heat came out, and his frozen body just warmed up. Looking at the excited faces of Zuo and Luo, he sighed secretly in his heart.  The Guangnan camp took a boat all the way north. Although they had sophisticated equipment, they were all from the south. Apart from being passionate, even the generals leading the army, such as Zuo Luo, had never seen snow.  The winter clothes prepared by Guangnan were insufficient, and there were guest troops. Everything was lacking when they arrived in the north, especially clothing and shoes to keep out the cold. The ones brought from Guangnan were almost useless in Hebei. Lu Mingyu was still looking at Zhao Shuai's face.  , allocating part of the supplies from Jingdong Road to them.  Even so, the elite Sixth Battalion, which was brightly armored when it was dispatched from Guangzhou, now has messy clothes and armor, but in terms of military appearance, it is almost the same as an ordinary state or county regiment training.  However, everyone in the Guangnan Army, especially Zuo Nianyuan and Luo Huan, were holding their breath and looking forward to establishing the prestige of the Guangnan Battalion on the battlefield as soon as possible.  Therefore, after they got the news that the army was about to go out, they immediately came to Jia Yuanzhen together, hoping to hear his opinion.  Jia Yuanzhen joined the army as a student of Imperial College, Zhao Xingde¡¯s old unit, and had been in the army for a long time in the north. He was the best friend for Zuo and Luo.  "If Mr. Wang assigns military affairs for the Northern Expedition, the Guangnan Battalion must strive to march with Mr. Lu and Mr. Luo." Jia Yuanzhen looked at Zuo Nianyuan and Luo Huan, and after pondering for a long time, he said in a low voice.  Zuo Nianyuan was stunned, and looked at each other with Luo Huan, seeing obvious disappointment in the other person's eyes.  Luo Huan was full of enthusiasm, but Jia Yuanzhen's words were nothing more than a basin of cold water.  In contrast, Zuo Nianyuan calmed down. He had experienced a bloody battle under the city of Guangzhou and witnessed many of his classmates and Paoze stained with blood on the battlefield. He was the head coach of Guangnan Camp, and he had to think more than Luo Huan.  Something outside the battlefield.  The Guangnan Battalion came thousands of miles north and after several months on the boat, the soldiers were dizzy. After arriving in Hebei, with almost no rest, the Guangnan children of the Sixth Battalion were transferred to the front line and joined the Henan Third Battalion.  The treatment of soldiers and horses in town is similar.  Moreover, food and salary supplies are much more troublesome than other camp heads.  At that time, Yue Fei and Cao Liangshi were still in charge of the Northern Expedition camp.  Although what Guangnan Camp encountered was not necessarily the result of the instructions of Yue and Cao, it was more likely the result of bad habits in the army and strife in the court.  Now that Yue Cao has abdicated and been replaced by Wang Gui, the overt and covert fighting in the Northern Expedition camp has become more intense.  As a guest army, the Guangnan Camp must give more thought to preserving their lives on the battlefield. Otherwise, the battlefield where hundreds of thousands of troops compete for life and death will be a life-devouring black hole. It would only take one to swallow these three thousand Guangnan disciples.  A matter of moments.  "Thank you, Brother Jia, for the tip." Zuo Nianyuan thanked him sincerely.  Luo Huan also followed him and bowed his hands.  Under such circumstances, the other party invited the Guangnan Battalion, which was like a lone army, to accompany our army. This was a kind of care in itself.  Although Luo Huan felt in his heart that Jia Yuanzhen had an "old spirit", he still understood this favor as he had been practicing in Gongmen for a long time.  "To each other, to each other," Jia Yuanzhen also returned the courtesy and said, "Both of you are from the south. When you first came to Hebei, although you seem to have adapted to the weather here, marching in the wilderness is completely different from staying in the camp.  ,?So Jia Mou said one more thing.  The army is about to set off, so I won't say anything depressing.  After the army leaves the camp, they can no longer drink freely. Come, let us drink this cup to the full.  " "Okay, do it!  "Three wine glasses clinked together. Hebei is bitterly cold, so the army usually not only prohibits alcohol, but also drinks non-strong liquor. Light yellow rice wine or light sweet sugarcane wine is popular in Lingnan County. When Zuo Nianyuan and Luo Huan first arrived in Hebei, they also drank  After being drunk several times, Luo Huan still couldn't fully adapt to strong alcohol. He coughed when he was choked, but wiped the wine stains from his mouth and said with a smile, "It's a pity that Xia Guo has the blood of a famous hero in strong alcohol.  Tasted.  " "I know a few officers from Kansai, they should have some," Jia Yuanzhen nodded and said, "Next time I will bring a few pots over.  " "Okay, it's settled.  Zuo Nianyuan smiled slightly, and Luo Huan also smiled and said, "I would like to have a drink with Brother Jia at the top of Youzhou City."  "The Guangnan Lishe behind him and Luo Huan, Jia Yuanzhen's words involved the secretly ambiguous relationship between the three towns in Henan, the Han army in Jingdong, and the Kansai court. Although they are not pedantic people, it is inappropriate to get involved too deeply.  . Although under the shadow of the Tokyo Remaining Department, the soldiers and horses of the three towns in Henan formed a de facto alliance with Guangnan Camp, Zuo Nianyuan and Luo Huan were still very cautious not to get involved in the court battle inadvertently.  The whirlpool. Even Mr. Zhao, who is famous all over the world, was almost torn to pieces by this whirlpool. The army was about to go out, so there was no need to waste time. After the three of them had a few drinks, Zuo Nianyuan and Luo Huan said goodbye and returned to the camp.  A gentle man, you don¡¯t know how to fight?  If you go out into the wild, you might lose your nose due to the cold.  " Commander Jian Tianliang got out at some point and stood beside Jia Yuanzhen, watching Zuo Nianyuan and Luo Huan leave on horseback. Jian Tianliang is a sergeant in Kansai. He gets along well with Jia Yuanzhen, who was born in Taixue.  But he was incompatible with Zuo Nianyuan and Luo Huan. Therefore, whenever these two people came to visit Jia Yuanzhen, or even thanked them, Jian Tianliang could hide and hide, and he could hide every time, as if they were one or two miles apart.  He could smell the sour smell on their bodies. Jia Yuanzhen could only respond with a bitter smile to Jian Tianliang's inexplicable feeling of rejection towards Zuo and Luo, and changed the topic: "Old Xu, the snow is getting smaller every day.  Is it time for the weather to get warmer?  " " Nuan, eggs?  "Jian Tianliang reached out and took a handful of snowflakes, twisted them, shook his head and said, "The snowflakes are getting smaller and smaller. The weather is not getting warmer, but it is getting colder.  " Seeing Jia Yuanzhen's disbelieving look, he pulled his hair away, pointed at his missing left ear, and swore, "When I was fighting in Mobei, the snow in the sky was as fine as sand. This half-pulled ear is  It was frozen at that time.  "Jia Yuanzhen followed his instructions and saw that half of his left ear was left. It was shocking. In the bitter cold land of Mobei, although the soldiers in Anbei had fur cloaks and down jackets, there were still many people with frostbite on their bodies. They were injured due to the severe cold.  Disabled people are not uncommon, but for sergeants, these are all qualifications. After Jian Tianliang retired from the Xia Kingdom to engage in business, although he usually concealed his injuries, he was not afraid to show them to his comrades in the army. In his eyes,  , Jia Hujun has this qualification, and he can understand his pride. "The water is cold and the wind is like a knife, but the blood is always hot.  "Jia Yuanzhen said in a low voice, watching the figure immediately disappear in the wind and snow. "General Lu is the left army, that is, the vanguard. Our Guangnan Battalion marches with General Lu, so we must also be the vanguard.  " Luo Huan turned his head to Zuo Nianyuan and said with excitement on his face. Lu Mingyu is a general under Zhao Xingde. He has met him twice. He has no intention of rejecting him. Instead, he is vaguely excited to be the vanguard of the Northern Expedition. It turns out that Yue Fei  When taking charge of the Northern Expedition camp, Zhang Xian's former army and Lu Mingyu and Luo Xianshi's left army took turns serving as the vanguard or vanguard of the army. Now that Yue Fei has resigned, Zhang Xian and Wang Gui are at odds with each other and Wang Gui uses the left army as the front guard.  The possibility of being a forward is very high. The only thing that can be considered is whether Lu Mingyu accepts Wang Gui's dispatch. "Cao Yue and Mr. Zhao have a grudge against each other, so General Lu Luo left the Tokyo Remaining Department. Even so, the two still remain.  Regardless of past grievances, he put righteousness first and led the army to participate in the Northern Expedition.  Now that Commander-in-Chief Yue has left the throne, Zhang Xian and others may still have a grudge, but for Lu and Luo, it is a dilemma. How he was in the past will also be how he will be in the future.  "Zuo Nianyuan pressed the bridle and walked slowly, and said thoughtfully, "Moreover, the Zuo Army has thirty thousand people, Generals Lu and Luo. These are all fierce generals and soldiers who followed Mr. Zhao and fought out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. No matter what they do,  Both forwards and defenders should have ways to protect themselves.  It should be safe for us to march together with the Zuo Army.  " His thoughts were still influenced by Jia Yuanzhen. Luo Huan also nodded. After all, they are three thousand Guangnan children. Their lives are on the two of them, and their hearts are heavy. Unconsciously, the white road ahead  A bright banner appeared, and the camp of the Sixth Battalion of Guangnan was already in sight. Luo Huan took a deep breath, put the gloomy thoughts out of his mind for the time being, and shouted in a deep voice: "Never mind it, I can see that the expedition is coming soon, I will go do it again  Order wine and meat, kill pigs and sheep in these two days, everyoneWhen my son is full, he will fight hard to defeat the enemy and break the formation. He will return to the three passes and take Youzhou directly!  "
