My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 101 99. Climb the snowy mountains and do it!

the next day.

Zhao Xuanqi got ready and came to the military camp.

There are already 3000 soldiers waiting for him in the military camp.

These 3000 soldiers are the Ziyun Army.

All of them are top-notch beings in the army. They have very strong physical fitness, and even their energy and spirit are absolutely top-notch. They are elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles.

The soldiers were all from Ziyun County, and most of them were fellow villagers from Shixi County. Zhao Xuanqi could even name many of them.

His youthful and resolute face exudes confidence.

The soldiers lined up neatly and were ready to go.

Several generals stood below, waiting for Zhao Xuanqi's orders.

Zhao Xuanqi looked at the generals beside him and asked, "Do you know how difficult this operation is?"

A general replied carelessly: "Of course we know, but we believe in the Generalissimo!"

One general replied: "It's just a matter of death. After death, the pension will be enough for my wife, children and children to live a good life. It will also be enough for my brother to marry a beautiful wife. Thanks to the care of the generalissimo, the imperial court was not so generous in the past." Generous pension!”

Another general replied: "We will make great achievements today. We are not afraid. We will definitely make great achievements this time and become famous!"

However, Zhao Xuanqi still saw the worry on their faces and the gloom that they were not optimistic about the future. The future was uncertain.

It is true that it is too difficult to cross the snow-capped mountains and rush thousands of miles to reach the enemy's rear!

This snow-capped mountain, which is like a natural chasm, buries the lives of countless people. Anyone who does not know the height of the sky and tries to provoke him has already fallen asleep in it. No one knows whether he will sleep in it forever.

However, they are still willing to believe in Zhao Xuanqi, and they are willing to believe in Zhao Xuanqi with their lives, not for anything else, just because this person is Zhao Xuanqi!

Zhao Xuanqi was extremely moved when he looked at these soldiers who were willing to risk their lives for him.

It can be said that the army he trusts most is the Ziyun Army.

Crossing the snow-capped mountains is extremely dangerous and difficult. Once something changes along the way, the soldiers may mutiny at any time. Angry soldiers will really cut off the commander!

In addition to these fellow villagers, Zhao Xuanqi did not believe even the Royal Forest Army and the Forbidden Army. Only with the Ziyun Army could he dare to cross the Snowy Mountains!

Zhao Xuanqi glanced over and looked at these resolute faces seriously, then he tightened the reins in his hands and got on his horse.

"Let's go!"

The so-called speed of soldiers means that only by crossing the snowy mountains at the fastest speed and appearing behind the enemy with the lightning speed can you give the enemy a fatal blow!
When the King of Huainan and other vassal enemies naively thought that the imperial court was still fighting against Beimang, it turned out that Zhao Xuanqi had already arrived behind them unnoticed. For these enemies, it is conceivable that this was What a terrible thing!

……

after one day.

The foot of the Snowy Mountains.

Many herders live here.

There are even Han villages at the bottom of the mountain, where some native Han people live.

However, their way of life is not much different from that of herdsmen. They have basically integrated. After several generations, they have multiplied and multiplied without being able to tell who is who.

At this moment, Zhao Xuanqi and others have arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The closer you get to the Snowy Mountains, the colder the surrounding air becomes. When you reach the foot of the mountain, you can already see falling snowflakes, and the ground is also rendered white, making it a vast expanse of white.

When passing by the village, Zhao Xuanqi took a look at the village, and on a whim, he directly ordered a general: "Take a few people in and ask if anyone is willing to be our guide. Ask if anyone has ever entered. Daxue Mountain, if anyone is willing to be a guide and willing to climb the Daxue Mountain with us, I will give you a hundred taels of gold and be awarded the title of imperial court..."

Zhao Xuanqi promised a lot of benefits.

The general nodded and slowly walked into the village with some belongings.

Not long after, the general walked out with a young man about 20 years old. He reported: "This young man said he can be our guide!"

The young man is at most 20 years old. He looks a little green, but his eyes are very bright, like a clear spring, extremely bright.

Zhao Xuanqi did not expect that the general would bring out a young man who has no hair on his lips and is not solid in his work. It would be the best choice to bring a middle-aged man who is familiar with mountain roads. This young man at such a young age is really familiar with the Snowy Mountains. Environment?
He looked at the young man with suspicious eyes: "This little brother, have you really entered the Snowy Mountains?"

The young man looked confident, and he replied in somewhat lame court official dialect: "Not only have I been to the Snowy Mountains, I have also climbed over the snowy mountains and visited other areas!"

Zhao Xuanqi laughed loudly and accused: "You are only 20 years old. I don't believe you can do this. Young people, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk randomly!"

The young man's face turned red before he admitted that he had lied.

But he said one thing. Although he did not do it himself, it was his elders who did it!
Then the young man told his story.

His grandfather fled here to escape the war. He was once a Han, and later married a herdsman woman here. The two fell in love and gave birth to many children.

It is precisely because his grandfather is Chinese that the young man can speak Chinese. Although his speech is awkward, at least it is not like other people in the village who do not understand Chinese at all.

This area is cold all year round, and there is basically nothing new to do. When the young man was very young, he often pestered his grandfather to play and asked him to tell him stories, which inevitably included the story of the snowy mountain next to him. story.

The young man recalled that he remembered his grandfather telling him proudly that he had conquered the Snowy Mountains!

It turns out that my grandfather was once from another area. In order to avoid the war and the severe taxes imposed by the court, he gathered a crowd to kill an official and plunder his family property.

As a result, the group of people was chased by the court, and the group had to get into the prairie. Going out would mean death. If they went in, there was still a chance of survival, so it would be better to go into the depths of the prairie!
So, with a strong desire to survive, they killed several herdsmen, took their cattle and sheep, and walked towards the depths of the prairie.

The weather was extremely cold along the way. They stopped and stopped along the way, and many brothers died along the way. After several months, they unexpectedly managed to cross the prairie!
When he came out, my grandfather met his grandma at that time and got married. Later, he learned from the mouths of nearby herdsmen that the depths of this prairie were called the Snow Mountains!

Of course, in the young man's grandfather's time, the temperature in the Snowy Mountains was far lower than it is now. Although there was snow, it was not that exaggerated, and the difficulty of climbing was not as difficult as it is now, so his grandfather was able to escape by luck.

This is also a lucky escape from a narrow escape!

Even so, grandpa regarded this as a lifelong pride and told the young people about the many scenery along the way to the Snowy Mountains.

Because Grandpa was afraid of getting lost, he memorized most of the scenery along the way. He told the young people all about them.

When young people heard these stories when they were young, their ears became calluses, and they lost awe of the Snowy Mountains. Instead, they admired their grandfather very much and wanted to achieve the feat of climbing over the Snowy Mountains. This became his lifelong dream.

The young man said with surprise on his face: "My grandfather has been dead for a long time, but I always remember his story. When I was a child, I wanted to climb the snowy mountains, but I never found the opportunity."

"Not only do my family disagree, but I don't have that much supplies for climbing the mountain. I didn't expect you to come!"

"You are willing to give me so much money so that my family can live a happy life. Even if I die in the Snowy Mountains, my family can still live a happy life."

"Not only can I realize my dream, but I can also make my family life happy. Why wouldn't I come?"

The young man's eyes flashed with excitement, and he looked like his blood was boiling. The aura of youth was clearly evident in his body.

In his eyes, it seemed that climbing over the snowy mountains was not a dangerous action, but a very interesting adventure. He regarded this as an interesting journey, even if it meant sacrificing his life.

Life lies in galloping, life lies in dreaming.

Zhao Xuanqi looked at this young man and couldn't help but admire his mind, and said slowly: "I believe in you, and the rest depends on you!"

To be honest, Zhao Xuanqi didn't expect to pick up a treasure.

Judging from the reactions of young people, most of the stories told by young people are true. After all, even the young people themselves believe them.

However, for personal safety, Zhao Xuanqi still sent people to the village to inquire for information.

Finally, we learned from the mouths of other old people that the young man’s grandfather had indeed come from out of town. He had indeed appeared from within the Snowy Mountains at that time. This surprised many people, so many herder girls wanted to marry him for nothing. They all want to marry him and regard him as a god.

When Zhao Xuanqi confirmed that the news was true, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "God is really helping me!"

These days have been filled with bad news and constant gloom. This is probably the best good news I have heard in these days!

Zhao Xuanqi also didn't expect that he would also have a chance to make a difference.

Next.

The group rested for a while and continued towards the Snowy Mountains. As they walked up the grassland, the air became colder and colder, and the snowflakes became larger and larger.

Until we enter the Snow Mountain area, the entire grassland is covered with snow, and there is no life in sight. The dead grassland gives people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.

The sky is white and bright, infinitely high and wide, the earth is wide, long and infinitely empty. Zhao Xuanqi and his party of more than 3000 people walked in this vast space like insignificant ants.

In the face of the vast nature, human power is so insignificant.

The group of people did not look back and plunged into the Snowy Mountains without hesitation, heading towards the southern region along the snowy grassland.

As long as you cross this area, you can enter the Huainan area!
Along the way, there was wind and snow, which made it extremely difficult for everyone.

When you are hungry, you eat compressed biscuits; when you are thirsty, you boil snow and boil water.

Each person is equipped with three horses, and the three horses are driven alternately.

Fortunately, everyone also has several stoves, including some briquettes, and several tents, so they can still drink broth occasionally.

Just put the dried meat into a boiling pot and add compressed biscuits to form a pot of rich meat porridge. Taking a sip in this cold weather is simply full of happiness.

What I have to say is that in this kind of weather, you can't take a shower or change clothes. For the next half month of the trip, you can basically only wear one set of clothes to go to the end. In addition to rushing, you are also rushing.

Zhao Xuanqi uses a compass and observes the sky at night, so he will basically not deviate from the general direction.

Even so, the group encountered a lot of trouble.

Take snow blindness, for example.

Some soldiers looked directly at the snow for a long time and developed severe snow blindness, which caused them to be dazzled. Some even lost their way and fell behind, unable to catch up.

Zhao Xuanqi was running thousands of miles this time, and it was impossible to send people back to find people. Otherwise, if the war situation was delayed, even if he successfully crossed the snowy mountains, it would be useless.There is basically only one outcome for those who fall behind, and that is death!
After Zhao Xuanqi discovered this problem, he immediately asked the soldiers to cut off part of the clothes. After cutting some light clothes, they made them into small pieces of cloth, like gauze, which could be worn on the eyes to effectively block direct sunlight. , to avoid snow blindness.

At the same time, the soldiers are asked to pay attention to their eyes and not to open their eyes to look at the snow scene for a long time. They can take turns to look at it among several people. If something is wrong and feels uncomfortable, they must tell the people next to them and look after each other so that no one is left behind. .

The problem of snow blindness can be avoided, but the problem of illness cannot be avoided.

Some soldiers fell ill and lost their lives due to serious illness because of the cold or the large temperature difference.

Some people were also sick and exhausted, dizzy, fell off their horses while traveling, and died.

In addition to the grasslands that need to be crossed, there are also rugged mountain roads that need to be climbed in the Snowy Mountains. When some unlucky soldiers were walking on the rugged mountain roads, their horses slipped and fell down the mountain.

Otherwise, he would be killed by rocks falling from the top of the mountain, his body would be broken to pieces, or he would be submerged by a sudden collapse of snow. There are various ways to die.

Along the way, Zhao Xuanqi witnessed the departure of many soldiers.

They did not die on the battlefield, but died on the way. They fell halfway without even being seen by the enemy, and even their bodies could not be found...

Fate seems to laugh at the insignificance of these humans.

The world seems to be laughing at these human beings' overestimation of their capabilities.

Zhao Xuanqi was extremely heartbroken.

As the saying goes, kindness does not lead to military affairs, kindness does not lead to business.

No matter how heartbroken Zhao Xuanqi was, he had to continue on the road with his soldiers and continue to complete the next arduous attack.

Everything depends on luck, even he doesn't know if he will die in an accident.

……

The atmosphere in the team became particularly depressed and gloomy.

On the other hand, the young guide was always in a lively state, his face was red, and he was always full of excitement.

He seemed to really regard this as a life and death journey. Climbing the snowy mountains was his ideal. Even if he died here, he would die in a worthy place, and there would be no fear at all.

The young man regards the hardships he encountered on the road as a gift from the immortal heaven. He is not an ordinary young man, he is a young man with faith.

During these ten days of running around, the young man did point out many shortcuts to Zhao Xuanqi. When he encountered a dead end that he couldn't cross, he was often able to suggest many solutions to Zhao Xuanqi.

As a herdsman living on the prairie, the young man teaches by words and deeds, and has rich experience in dealing with such matters.

I really don’t know what I would do without him in many things.

And now, Zhao Xuanqi is facing another problem, and it's even colder!
Everyone arrived in a new area.

This is a valley area with heavy wind and snow. The snowstorm has become more and more serious in recent days. Judging from the wind and snow, it seems that there will be a huge snowstorm tonight!
If they can't find a shelter from the wind before dark, then the group may be in bad luck, and many people may die on this snowy night!
Zhao Xuanqi's face became particularly ugly.

In this kind of environment, it is so difficult to find a suitable shelter from the wind. It is almost as difficult as climbing to the sky!

In other words, most people will die on this night!
The young man looked left and right, his eyes lit up, and then he suddenly said: "This valley... My grandfather once told this story. He said that when he was passing through the Snowy Mountains, he suddenly encountered a heavy snowstorm in a valley. My grandfather Said he almost thought he would die here in the valley, but he found a hot spring cave!"

The young man took the lead and walked in front of everyone, cheering and saying: "On the left side of the valley, there will be some dead tree marks along the way. There is definitely a hot spring cave nearby. Not only can you take shelter from the wind, but there is also a hot spring. Give everyone a bath!”

"Being here means that we can walk out of the Snowy Mountains in four or five days. The next journey will be very simple!"

The young man's words were like a shot in the arm, completely lifting the spirits of the originally embarrassed soldiers. The soldiers' eyes burst out with bright light, and even Zhao Xuanqi became particularly excited.

Perhaps this is similar to looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst?

Maybe it should be called Wangquan Zhileng?
Zhao Xuanqi immediately ordered: "Little brother, be careful and lead the way, we will follow you!"

Not long after, a group of people, led by young people, successfully found the hot spring cave just before night fell.

This is a large cave, big enough for everyone to come in and take shelter from the wind. There is a small river inside. The river bursts out with hot air, and what comes out is warm river water. The farther inside, the hotter the river water becomes. At the deepest point, even The scalding river water!
The cave is also dotted with various springs, large and small, and the temperature in the cave is extremely comfortable and warm. As long as horses are used to block the entrance of the cave, the wind and snow outside can be blocked.

For a moment, everyone was overjoyed.

Many soldiers took off their clothes and took a hot bath directly in the hot spring. After a comfortable hot bath, they became refreshed and rejuvenated.

Long drought meets nectar!
Everyone remembers the young man’s words. It takes about five or six days to leave the Snowy Mountains!
I originally thought that I would definitely die, but I didn't expect that there was no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there was another village with dark flowers and bright flowers!

Zhao Xuanqi walked to the young man, sat on the ground, and slowly put his feet into the hot spring to soak his feet. Without any pretense, he said gratefully: "You saved many of my soldiers, thank you."

A bright light flashed in the young man's eyes. He soaked his feet in the hot spring, raised his head and said excitedly: "My grandfather did not lie. The stories he told are all true!"

He did not answer Zhao Xuanqi's words, but just said what he wanted to express.

Zhao Xuanqi couldn't help but joked: "I thought you really believed in your grandpa, but judging from your words, it doesn't seem to be the case."

The young man said matter-of-factly: "Everyone says this story is true, and my grandfather also said this story is true, but I only heard all this from other people's ears."

"Hearing is false, seeing is believing. I have not seen it with my own eyes, and I have not been in contact with it personally. How can I be completely sure that the story is completely true? I can only completely believe it if I experience it myself."

He exudes an upward mood. The travels and toil along the way, the deaths and diseases along the way have not had any impact on him, and he is full of enthusiasm from beginning to end.

The young man said happily: "Next, I will also complete the feat of climbing over the snowy mountains. This is the most proud thing in my life. I will become the most admired person by everyone in the village. In this way, I will have no regrets even if I die." !”

Climbing the snowy mountains is his ideal!

In pursuit of dreams, even death is not a pity!
Life and death seemed to be a trivial matter in front of this young man, incomparable to his dream.

Although he is still young, he actually gives people the impression that he has experienced great enlightenment after experiencing countless things.

Zhao Xuanqi looked at the young man's appearance and was stunned for a moment. He just felt that this young man was like the protagonist described in the novel and picture book.

This time on the way over the snow-capped mountains.

Everyone came here out of necessity and with an uncertain future.

Only young people come to realize their dreams, are always enthusiastic and unrestrained, and take the initiative to face hardships.

On the way over the Snowy Mountains, he was like a dazzling pearl, always emitting bright light, and Zhao Xuanqi and others became his foil, his help in climbing over the Snowy Mountains, and supporting roles in this period of his life experience.

Next, the young man will realize his dream, and Zhao Xuanqi and others are just travelers passing by on the road of his life. It seems that the appearance of Zhao Xuanqi and others is to help him complete his dream of crossing the snow-capped mountains and help him realize this ideal.

So what if you are the generalissimo?It's just a supporting role in his pursuit of dreams.

Zhao Xuanqi glanced away, took a deep look at the young man in front of him, and then thought of what he had experienced in his life.

You are also the protagonist in your own life!
He finally understood one thing:

Everyone is unique, everyone has their own life experiences and different pasts.

Everyone is the protagonist in their own life. In this big world, they may be brilliant or mediocre. They experience different rich lives, meet different people, and experience different things. All of them can be written into different stories. novels, and they are the protagonists in their respective novels...

He looked at the cheering soldiers around him. Some of them might look mediocre, some might even look ugly. Of course, some of them might look handsome.

These people are all living beings, fresh and bright, unique existences in their own lives, with their own life experiences, and their own unique lives.

You are the protagonist, I am the protagonist, and he is also the protagonist.

……

After this hot spring renovation, everyone was injected with a new blood, and everyone regained their vitality and became full of fighting spirit again.

The next day, everyone was resurrected with full blood, mounted their horses, and continued heading south.

The young man did not lie. About the fourth day, everyone successfully left the Snowy Mountains, left the cold prairie, faced the bright sunshine, and successfully arrived in the Huainan region!
No more endless grasslands!

No more endless white snow!

The young man stretched his body, showed a bright and clean smile to Zhao Xuanqi, waved goodbye and said: "I'm going to say goodbye to you. You go, I will stay here to recuperate for some time, and then when my body returns to its healthiest, After buying some supplies, I will challenge myself to cross the snowy mountains alone next time!"

Zhao Xuanqi rejected this decision.

He was afraid that the young man would tell the truth. If the young man leaked the news that he and others had traveled thousands of miles to attack, it would be a disaster.

Some soldiers' bodies were severely damaged along the way and they were unable to fight further and needed rest to recover.

Zhao Xuanqi took the opportunity to send five or six soldiers who were in poor health and asked the soldiers to take care of the young man here. Only after the war was over would the boy be allowed to leave alone.

After doing this, Zhao Xuanqi began to count the people.

According to statistics, after the 3000-man army came out of the Snowy Mountains, only 2031 people were left. More than 900 young lives died, sleeping forever in the depths of the Snowy Mountains, sleeping during this thousand-mile attack.

With this nearly 1/3 chance of death, the soldiers did not collapse, nor did they engage in any mutiny, and they did not even complain about Zhao Xuanqi...

Zhao Xuanqi's eyes turned red for a moment as he looked at these villagers and elders, feeling both excited and remorseful.

Fortunately, the most difficult days are over, and now is the time to make great achievements!
He will pay back all the sufferings he suffered on the road to these rebellious enemies.

Zhao Xuanqi showed a vicious expression on his face, and shouted through gritted teeth: "Brothers, the hard days are over, we have successfully reached behind the enemy, and we will make great achievements today!"

The soldiers' morale was high.

The repression during this period of time has successfully made them feel suffocated in their hearts. If they don't vent it out, they will inevitably become seriously ill.

Next is the time to vent this anger, and you must do it hard.

The soldiers cheered and shouted, "Fuck you!"

After going through this ordeal, the minds and fighting abilities of all soldiers have been tempered thousands of times. If the body cannot be damaged by repeated tempering, then its will will be invincible!
The anger that the soldiers burst out at this moment is absolutely crushing the entire era!
Any elite soldier in the world is absolutely vulnerable to this army!
There is a tiger in my heart, who can stop it? !
