This is a country that they think is easy to bully.
Especially in winter, they were invincible in their attacks on Liangzhou City, and the people of Liangzhou were simply unable to stop their cavalry.
…
Liangzhou City
There is a city wall built at the border with the Snow Country to block the cavalry of the Snow Country. On the lookout tower of the city wall, two soldiers were standing by the fire and talking in a low voice.
"With cotton clothes, it's a little warmer standing here than before, and my fingers are not so stiff anymore."
The north wind was howling, making faces feel as painful as if they were being cut by a knife. The person who was talking squinted his eyes, and exhaled cold air with every word he spoke.
He rubbed his hands and put another piece of firewood into the small fire behind him. The burning fire was not big and could only bring a little warmth, but it allowed them to stand here and endure such a cold day.
"Who says it's not true? Fortunately, I got such a good thing this year. Otherwise, with our bodies standing here in the cold wind all night, we would go to see the King of Hell tomorrow."
"Hahaha, isn't this how we got here before, huh?" The person who spoke paused. He leaned on the city wall and looked into the distance. Under the moonlight, the distance was white, reflecting the moonlight, like a piece of white canvas. At this moment, many small black dots appeared on the canvas, like ants moving forward, moving towards this side little by little.
This completely energized him, and he immediately pulled the rope beside him, and on the rope was a bell.
The sound of the bell spread far away, and smoke signals rose in the distance.
Soon, the defenders of Liangzhou City, wearing armor and holding spears, quickly climbed up the city wall and guarded everywhere.
The general of Liangzhou City was also among them. He looked at the small black dot approaching little by little in the distance with a serious and cold expression. As he expected, as soon as winter came, the savages of the Snow Country dared to invade Liangzhou City again.
It was freezing cold, and Liangzhou had suffered several times. Each time, the Snow Country people broke through the defense line, rushed into the inner city, robbed food and left.
This year, the generals in Liangzhou City could not guarantee what the situation would be.
But it is better than before. With clothes made of cotton, he can resist a lot of cold wind and the body is not as cold as before. His hands and feet are flexible. Now he is facing the people from the Snow Country and he doesn't know how the battle will be.
You won’t know until you fight it once.
When the people from the Snow Country came close, the archers on the wall were ready. After shooting and killing many people, they still allowed the people from the Snow Country to approach the city wall.
On the Snow Country side, the soldiers were divided into several groups. Some went forward to attract the attention of the Daliang people, while the rest went to the weak points of the city wall. They had already set up ladders there. As long as they used human lives and piled up little by little, once they climbed onto the city wall, the Daliang people would have no way to do anything to them.
They are already familiar with this matter.
They did the same thing in the past. Given the Liang people's physique, it was not easy to stop them in this icy and snowy environment.
After they came to the weak part of the city wall, they climbed up little by little. When the people in front died, the ones behind continued to fight desperately until they climbed up completely. However, when the person who climbed up faced the Daliang soldiers, their swords touched, and the aftershocks from the palm of his hand made him almost unable to hold the sword in his hand.
The red hand was waving the blade, with a look of surprise on his face. His eyes were filled with the cold light of the long sword. He couldn't understand how the Liang people stopped his attack and how they took their lives.
Compared with the Liang people in the past, the Liang people at this time are brave and good at fighting, and they are definitely not someone that their Snow Country can overwhelm with their strong physique.
Why on earth?
Why are the Liang people suddenly stronger than them in winter?
Before this man could figure it out, the light in his eyes faded and his unsupported body fell to the ground. Not only him, but all the people of Snow Country who climbed onto the wall of Liangzhou noticed that the people of Liang were different from before.
This group of people were able to hold on in the freezing cold and fight back against them.
Who is the one who lives in the snow?
Before they could figure out what was going on, they all died on the city wall, and no one succeeded in taking Liangzhou City.
When the generals of the Snow Country saw this scene, there was fear in their eyes. All this was beyond their expectations. The originally fragile people of Daliang actually turned into tigers and killed all his people without leaving a single piece of armor.
This is not like the strength of Daliang in the past.
What on earth happened? What made Daliang’s strength increase so quickly?
The Snow Country general couldn't figure it out, but he also knew that continuing the attack would do him no good, so he took the remaining people back.
He thought that only a fortune teller could know the truth.
The Snow Country retreated. Daliang saw this scene and a look of joy appeared on his blood-stained face. This was the first time they stopped the Snow Country.
After a night of hard fighting, no one from the Snow Country managed to pass this checkpoint.
They held on.
The morning light in the distance rose up little by little. Even though everyone felt weak and powerless, and their hands holding knives and spears were trembling slightly, as they watched the morning light rise up little by little, the haze in everyone's heart was swept away.
No one would have thought of it, no one expected it.
They actually stopped the Snow Country one day, but they are still waiting for the cold winter here.
I felt the heat coming out of my body and my torso was warm, instead of being frozen as before, with my fingers so cold that I couldn't use the strength to hold the knife.
Everyone felt that things were different, and they no longer had to worry about the coming of winter.
The generals of Liangzhou were also very happy. This battle completely swept away the previous decline, and their Liangzhou was not inferior to the other two places.
It’s just a snow country. The savages only dare to invade in winter. We don’t have to be afraid of these savages coming in the future.
I have to say that the cotton was delivered just in time and the clothes made from it are very warm. It is really a great thing.
The general of Liangzhou asked his deputy general, "Who sent the cotton?"
The deputy general knew what the general meant and whispered, "Was it sent by a merchant named Lin?"
"Where did such a good thing come from? Why didn't it exist before?"
The deputy general said, "I heard that it was a Taoist priest named Li who calculated it."
When the general of Liangzhou heard that it was a Taoist priest named Li who had calculated it, he suddenly remembered what Minister Zhou had told him, that there was a Taoist priest named Li in the capital who was good at fortune-telling. Could this be the one he was talking about?
This Taoist priest Li sent the cotton at this time. Could it be that he had already calculated that the Snow Country would invade Liangzhou this year? The timing of sending the cotton was so coincidental.
The cotton had just arrived three days ago and it was finally made into clothes, one for each person.
Therefore, he arranged for people to guard the city for one night. It just so happened that today, the Snow Country invaded. All these coincidences were there. Too many coincidences would no longer be coincidences.
It must have been calculated by that Taoist Priest Li.
The general of Liangzhou sighed, "It's really a timely rain. That Taoist priest Li is really capable."
He is able to calculate to this extent, fortunately he is from Daliang, otherwise...
The deputy general looked over in confusion and asked tentatively, "What do you mean, sir?"
All of this was planned by Taoist Priest Li? How is this possible?
It was shocking that Taoist Priest Li, at such a young age, had calculated the existence of cotton in the world. If he had heard correctly, and listened to the general's words, even today's battle was part of the other party's calculations.
The news that came in clearly did not include this information, only that there was a snowstorm. Could it be?
The deputy general slapped his head and followed the general's words. He thought of a possibility. Maybe, Taoist Li had already calculated that it was inevitable to block the Snow Country with clothes made of cotton. Therefore, Taoist Li did not mention it specifically.
What a terrifying strength.
…
Li Lezhi didn't know anything about Liangzhou City yet, nor did he know that he was famous in Liangzhou City.
He is still in Yuzhou City, calculating what will happen in the next three months for Yuzhou, and learned that Zhao State will not attack again.
Li Le just wanted to say goodbye to Xiao Xuan.
The Chinese New Year was approaching, and he wanted to return to Yangzhou City to celebrate the New Year with his two disciples and burn incense to the Three Pure Ones in the temple.
I don’t know what the current situation of Miaodao Temple is.
Li Le did what he thought. He said goodbye to Xiao Xuan. After Xiao Xuan learned that there would be no war in three months, he was relieved and said, "Master Li, it's freezing cold now. Why don't you wait for a while before leaving? Or I can arrange some people to escort you back to Beijing."
"No need," Li Le refused. He said, "I am going to Yangzhou City this time. You don't need to send anyone to take me there. Xiao Wu hasn't left yet. He alone is enough."
Xiaowu has not left since he sent Li Lezhi to Yuzhou City last time.
Xiao Xuan also knew this person, and seeing this, he did not insist on persuading him. Instead, he prepared a lot of things for Li Lezhi on the day he left.
As for Jiang Yuge and Qingtong, although they wanted to follow Li Lezhi and learn things, they had their master's orders to follow, so they did not leave with Li Lezhi this time.
Passing by Zhangzhou again and seeing the Xiaomang Mountain Range, Li Le only recalled the hexagram he had calculated on the way to Yuzhou City, and thought about calculating whether everyone was having fun.
Only after he figured out that no one in Daliang was injured did he relax.
On the way back to the capital from Yuzhou, in the border of Liangzhou, there was a group of people lying in ambush. They learned from the priest that Li Lezhi was about to return to the capital, so they deliberately ambushed in Liangzhou on the way back to the capital.
Here, with no village in front and no shop behind, Li Le just wanted to wait for others to rescue him, but it was in vain. What's more, there was only one person by his side, and they knew that person's strength very well.
They are the most powerful assassins in Zhao State, and it is easy for them to kill someone.
Therefore, they disguised themselves, seized a teahouse, disguised themselves as the owner of the teahouse and the waiter, and the rest of them disguised themselves as passing guests who came to stay in the inn.
They sat in the hall in groups of three or four, drinking tea and looking at the white snow outside. One of them asked impatiently, "Why haven't they come yet?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? You can't kill him by being impatient."
"I'm not afraid. Don't forget that he is a fortune teller. He will be anxious if he doesn't arrive. Maybe he has already figured out that we are here and has taken another route."
As soon as these words were spoken, the rest of the people stopped.
They couldn't help but think along the same lines as this person. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that such a thing might not be impossible. The other party was very good at calculating and might have already figured out that they were in Liangzhou.
One person said, "Then let's ambush somewhere else? But the priest clearly predicted..."
Everyone present understood what was left unsaid, which made them fall silent.
After a long while, one of them said, "I heard that the priest and Li Lezhi were fighting, and Li Lezhi was better. So they decided to change places by playing rock-paper-scissors?"
The crowd did not play rock-paper-scissors. Instead, they took out the map and looked towards another road. Then, they packed up all their things and prepared to ambush in another place.
This is a country that they think is easy to bully.
Especially in winter, they were invincible in their attacks on Liangzhou City, and the people of Liangzhou were simply unable to stop their cavalry.
