Cao Bianjiao couldn't figure out why the general wanted to recruit these horse thieves.Xiao Cao, who was behind Jiangmen, looked down on Peng Dahui and the gang of horse thieves, thinking that these people are just thieves who bully the weak and fear the hard, just like the thieves in the northwest, they are all white-eyed wolves who harbor evil intentions and will never be familiar with them.

Yang He, the former governor of the three sides, tried his best to appease those thieves when he was in Shaanxi, but in less than half a year, he was completely reversed. It can be seen that thieves are thieves. Soldiers!

Now that the general is recruiting these horse thieves, in Xiao Cao's view, he is repeating Yang He's lessons learned from the past. God knows when these horse thieves will suddenly show their true colors and bite back at the Jinzhou army.

Shi Dayong couldn't explain Xiao Cao's complaints and confusion to him, because he didn't know whether it was the right choice to recruit Peng Dachui and others.

But he knew that Peng Dachui would not sincerely work for him, but he would not bite himself back either. [

A man who is not afraid of death will not do shameful things.

Shi Dayong believed in his own vision, just as he firmly believed that defending Emperor Zhuang Lie and Daming was the right choice.

Therefore, he can only appease Cao Bianjiao and ask him to take a look first, maybe I don't know if this gang of thieves can really be used by me.

Under Shi Dayong's reassurance, Cao Bianjiao could only acquiesce in the fact that a gang of thieves came from the army.But no matter what, it is absolutely impossible for him to mingle with these horse thieves - he has his arrogance, the arrogance of being a soldier of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, in the marching team, the wolf cavalry and the thieves were clearly separated, and they would never strike up a conversation with each other.

The soldiers also looked down on these horse thieves in their bones, and coupled with Cao Bianjiao's attitude, they naturally would not have any good impressions of the horse thieves.

Peng Dachui and others also knew that not all the Liao army trusted and valued them like their generals.

The man spoke in good faith, and General Shi spared them from death. Although he gave a choice that people were not very willing to do, since he agreed to him, Peng Dachui never thought of breaking his promise.

In order to prevent conflicts between his brothers and the Liao army, Peng Dachui asked his nephew, Sihai, to keep a close eye on him, and he must not let any messy brother pick a problem, otherwise, things might get worse.After all, they had just been recruited, and it was still a deal. To put it bluntly, they were still a gang of thieves—a gang of thieves who suddenly stopped doing house robbery and temporarily worked for officers and soldiers.

Therefore, now a spark can rekindle the conflict between soldiers and bandits, and if something really happens, they may not even be able to do this part-time job.

People, it's really strange, they thought death was inevitable, but they are not afraid of death; now that they have the hope of living, it is difficult to think about death.

The sky was unpredictable, and when it came, there was still a crescent moon hanging in the sky, but in a blink of an eye, it was covered with dark clouds, and soon, it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.

Without the guidance of the moonlight, the Jinzhou army could not move in the dark, so they had to light up torches to light up. In this way, the speed of the march was reduced, only faster than walking.There is no way, if the horse gallops, the torch can't stand the wind at all.Without fire, how can we march in this dark night?

God didn't seem to feel the joy of the Jinzhou Army's victory. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the torches were almost extinguished, and the temperature dropped to freezing point in an instant.

It was so cold that people were shivering. If the horse meat in the bag was not still warm, it might soon become frozen meat.

Shi Dayong was worried that there would be a snowfall in this ghostly weather, but the more he was afraid of something, the more it would come.The snowflakes finally fell when we were still more than a dozen miles away from the camp.

This snow is the second snow in Hebei after the heavy snow in Wuqiao.

Shi Dayong, who was wearing a mask, was not the first to notice that it was snowing. He didn't know it was snowing until his subordinates screamed. [

A snowflake passed through the neck of his shirt and fell on his neck. With a twist of his neck, the snowflake immediately melted away, a little icy and a little wet.

Under the light of the fire, snowflakes as big as goose feathers kept falling, and the wind helped the snow, and soon, it was full of snow.

"General, the wind is strong. The snow won't stop for a while. We can't stop. The brothers can't stand the cold. If we don't hurry back, we will be in trouble!"

Cao Bianjiao saw that the snow was getting bigger and bigger, and he was a little worried that at the current speed, it would take another hour to reach the Buying camp.But the soldiers were already too cold to bear, and if they didn't find a place to shelter from the wind and snow, they were afraid that many people would be frostbitten.

"Xiao Cao, you lead the people in front, and the brigade follows behind, try to run the horse as much as possible."

Shi Dayong also knew that he had to speed up. There was no way to go to this ghostly place, and there was no shop behind the village. Even if he wanted to find a place to shelter from the wind and snow, he couldn't find it.As a matter of urgency, we can only speed up the march and try to get back as soon as possible.Otherwise, if the snowstorm turned into a blizzard, his Jinzhou army might get lost and fall into a dilemma.

With the light of the torch that was blown away by the wind, Cao Bianjiao saw that the leader of the horse thief, Peng Dachui, had a painful expression on his face, but he still reined in his mount tightly.

This thief leader is a man, Cao Bianjiao snorted secretly, and led a group of wolf cavalry to explore the way first.

Everyone in Jinzhou wore cotton-padded clothes, and the thieves made a living by robbing houses. Naturally, they would not treat themselves badly in this winter. The cotton-padded clothes they wore were no thinner than those of the Jinzhou army.But it is snowing all over the sky, no matter how thick you wear, you will still be cold.

Under the strong wind, the torch was no longer usable.Now the whole team has to be led by the people in front, otherwise the whole team will be blinded.

Cao Bianjiao knew what his team meant to the people behind him. Without any light to guide him, he could only move forward by feeling, and the speed was constantly accelerating.

This is completely a risk, if it crashes into some obstacle, or gets caught by something, maybe the lives of people and horses are in danger.

But for the safety of the brigade, Cao Bianjiao and the team of wolf cavalry also went all out. Fortunately, they were lucky enough to explore all the way without encountering any danger.

In the back, Shi Dayong relied on the sound of horseshoes in front to identify the road and direction. After running forward with such difficulty for a few miles, the situation began to improve.

In front of him, it was no longer pitch black, the snowflakes blown down by the strong wind covered the ground, and pointed out the direction for the human beings in the dark night.

With the bright light in front of them, Jinzhou immediately cheered, and even the thieves couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing the light means being able to speed up the march, which means being able to reach the destination earlier.

People don't want to stay in the ice and snow, drink the northwest wind, and suffer from cold and hunger.Suddenly, a team with torches came in front of them, and when they saw a group of dark figures on the road in the distance, the team immediately cheered: "It's our people, it's our people!"

It was Li Dashan and the others who came. Seeing the sudden snowfall, Jiang Wanli was worried that the general and the others would get lost in the dark, so he discussed with Shao Wu, and Li Dashan took a team to pick the general and the others back.

Seeing their own soldiers and horses coming to meet them, the wolf cavalry swept away the fatigue caused by the cold, and rushed over excitedly.Under the support of Li Dashan's team, Shi Dayong finally led his troops back to the camp safely after half an hour.

In the camp, dozens of bonfires were burning, and hot water was being burned on the fires, or hot food was being boiled.

The wolf cavalry who were dying of cold cheered and jumped off their horses, and warmed themselves in front of the campfire. [

The cooks were busy taking out the big pancakes that were boiling in the pot, and then distributed them to the wolf cavalry one by one in bowls, and even the thieves each filled a bowl.

It is said to be flatbread, but it is actually a common noodle in the north. Because of the cold weather, the noodle is too cold to eat, so it can only be boiled and eaten.

There is nothing delicious about noodles, but for the tired wolf cavalry, it is a rare delicacy.Even Shi Dayong gobbled it up with the soldiers.

After eating the hot food, the whole person felt very comfortable immediately, as if the blood was circulating again in the hands and feet, and gradually became conscious.

After Shao Wu arranged for people to properly dispose of the spoils brought back, Shi Dayong sent an order to leave a team of people to watch the night, and everyone else went back to the tent to rest, and we will talk about things tomorrow.

At this time, it was less than two hours before dawn.

The snowstorm is getting bigger and bigger.
