The Human Emperor

After all, the wealthy households in China are a minority. Most of the people only have one house. Let them tear down their homes and use them as charcoal for heating. I am afraid that most people will find it difficult to accept, but the cold wave is coming, even if it is psychologically difficult to accept. Had to do so.

"In addition, Qiqin, I would like to trouble you to co-ordinate and assist the Ministry of Households to handle this matter together. Although the court has accumulated a lot of grain, Wang Chong has built a large number of granaries in various parts of Kyushu beforehand, but there are millions of people in China. , The daily consumption is not a small number, even if there is more food, it will eventually be a source of no water, sitting on the mountain."

Song Wang said solemnly.

The arrival of severe cold, or according to Wang Chong, is the Great Ice Age. Under this environment, it is no longer possible to grow food as before, and no one knows how long the Great Ice Age will last, but one thing is certain. Judging from the current situation, this unprecedented cold weather may last for a long time.

And really like Wang Chong said, deep down, I am afraid that everyone must prepare for the Great Ice Age that will last for a long time.

The Great Tang has gone through several generations of Ming emperors such as Gaozu, Taizong and Gaozong. Until now, the new emperor has been enthroned, and the prosperous times, the dynasty is peaceful, and has a solid foundation that is unmatched by other countries, but under this situation, I am afraid that It is difficult to hold on for a year.

As the most powerful prosperous age, even with decades of foundation stone, it can be completely destroyed in just a few years.

Song Wang had read history books, and he couldn't be more clear about this.

"The prince is serious, Qiqin must do his best."

Xu Qiqin bowed.

"In addition, contact Wang Chong on the front line, and if possible, try to save the material supply on the front line. In any case, we must win this war!"

In the last sentence, Song Wangbei looked at Youzhou's direction, his eyes firm.

Wow!

Hoof ta da, a moment later, accompanied by a rush of hoofs, a war horse galloped out from this mansion and headed for another mansion.

Click, the horse had just rushed out of the mansion, and a cold wind blew across it. A thin layer of frost formed on the surface of the horse and on the back of the soldier’s body. The breath quickly turned into ice slag, and the horse and The hair of the cavalry quickly froze in the cold wave.

However, it was just a moment, with a bang, a strong qi burst out of the cavalry, and blasted into the body of the horse under the crotch. The qi stirred and shattered the thin ice that had just condensed on the body.

The sky is freezing cold, and it is already difficult for the entire capital to move. This is the current situation in the capital.

Now all the officials stayed in their residences without leaving their homes, and all the news and orders were all conveyed through these carefully selected cavalry.

To operate in this severe cold weather, the requirements for cavalry are extremely high. They must at least achieve a cultivation base above the peak of the Xuanwu realm, and they must be very familiar with the capital and be able to not lose their way in a blizzard.

With only these two points, the entire Jingshi’s messenger has only 700 people in total. Even if they have a vigorous cultivation base above the peak of the Xuanwu realm, they can’t last long in this kind of cold weather, basically every three. You have to rest once every hour and take turns on duty.

This is also an expedient policy that the court came up with in response to this great cold wave.

Hooves da da, the rush of horse hoofs did not spread far, and it was submerged by the deserted wind and snow. As the largest city in the entire land world, the entire capital has a population of more than one million. At this time, the capital has long been It was a hustle and bustle, all kinds of shouts and chants rang together.

Even in the coldest winter, the morning market of Jingshi must be crowded with people, and people eating morning tea and cakes are also filled with every street. However, as far as the eyes can go, the streets of Jingshi are empty. Yes, like a dead city.

"God bless Datang, I hope this disaster can end soon!"

A look of worry flashed in the eyes of the cavalry who sent the message, and soon disappeared in front of the horse with a belly.

In this blizzard, everyone can do very limited things, but everyone is doing their own way in their own way, joining the cavalry team, being responsible for passing the news at this time, it is also his choice.

...

Day by day, everyone hopes that this heavy snowstorm will be like those in the memory, and will pass quickly after a few days, but the real situation is contrary to everyone’s expectations. Seven or eight days have passed. Now, the cold wave that enveloped China has not only not receded, but it has become stronger.

The earth is silent, everything is depressed, and it is all dead.

This is the common sight of the entire human world!

At this moment, another place.

Huh, the cold wind howled, looking down from the sky, in the northwest, a lonely city stands on the ground, as if abandoned.

City of Steel!

This is the first steel city built by modularization when Wang Chong was entrusted with the marquis.

When all eyes were drawn to the Northeast, watching the battle between Wang Chong's army of millions and the nations, not many people noticed that a war was also going on in the city of steel in the northwest.

"How's it going, what is going on in Qinling?"

Charcoal raging, in the central main hall of the entire city of steel, the new Khan of the West Turks, Hubarshe, Young Master Qingyang, and Li Junxian, the Confucian leader who disappeared for a long time, gathered together. The faces of the three were very solemn. The cold wave is coming, and for everyone, they need to worry about more than the harsh natural environment, and the legendary name outside the city who is eyeing the city of steel and commanding hundreds of thousands of Uth’s Tibetan soldiers and horses. .

Wang Chong is fighting against Anlu Mountain in the northeast, and the task of sniping the Dalun Qin Ling and the Ustizang Empire is entrusted to them. Wang Chong went to the Western Turkic Khanate to support the four princes, Hubarshen, one of the most important. The purpose is to isolate the troops of the Ust Tibetan Empire from the nations with the help of the Western Turkic Khanate.

In particular, Dalun Qinling, the emperor of the Uth-Tibetan Empire has no less prestige and status than the Tang army god Su Zhengchen in the western countries that went out of Yumenguan to the west, and even the Food Empire respected him extremely. .

The Great Food Empire tried several times to win over the Uth-Tibet Empire, and a considerable part of the reason was for Dalun Qinling.

If Dalun Qinling, the "military god" of the Western world, collude with An Lushan, no one can imagine the consequences.

In short, Wang Chong's situation will definitely be much worse than it is now.

Therefore, the biggest task of the three people is to hold the soldiers and horses of Dalun Qinling and Uszang.

During this period of time, the three of them have joined hands and fought against Dalun Qinling for several waves, and they are basically unbeatable, even Li Junxian is not his opponent.

In contrast, everyone's only advantage now is that they don't need to defeat Dalun Qinling, they only need to contain him so that the soldiers and horses of Dalun Qinling can't make a smooth eastward crossing and can go to Youzhou.

As for this, the three of them tried their best, but they could barely achieve it.

"The situation is not very good. I have sent someone to investigate. It seems that everything is calm in Qinling. It seems that they have established a temporary stronghold there. The stronghold also has an array of defense against cold waves. There is no accident. Maybe he got some treasure from Anlu Mountain."

"In addition, the Daxueshan Temple has always been very mysterious. There are a lot of treasures stored there, and it is very likely that there are some special treasures to defend against extreme cold!"

The new khan of the West Turks said in a deep voice.

Although it was a war between Datang and Ustizang, the main force in the city of steel against Ustizang empire has actually become the soldiers and horses of the Western Turkic Khanate. At least 70% of the soldiers and horses are Western Turks. .

Therefore, the task of spying on intelligence in this snowy weather was naturally handed over to the Western Turkic Khanate.

"It is not trivial to talk about Qinling. In addition to the soldiers and horses of Uszang, he also has the help of the masters of Daxueshan. During this time, our Confucianists have killed many masters in battle. In addition, I feel that we have been constantly entangled during this time. , Has angered Dalun Qinling."

"During this time, his active attacks have become more frequent. We have destroyed at least more than a dozen night assassinations of the Ust Tibetan Empire. If this continues, I am afraid that we will be completely breached in more than ten days at most."

Li Junxian looked down at the topographic sand table near the city of steel in front of him, and said solemnly.

Only by personal experience can we know what kind of pressure the three people have been under during this period. With the power of the three people, it has been quite difficult to persist until now.

If it hadn't been for the city of steel that Wang Chong had originally built, it would be difficult to break through, the three of them would have already fallen.

The three looked at each other and were silent.

"We have reached this point without turning our bow. We can no longer retreat. Moreover, Datang is now empty of troops. If Dalun Qinling predicts that it will not be able to catch up with the war in Youzhou, it will directly change its direction and go to the capital! In that case, everyone should understand the consequences!"

Young Master Qingyang said with a solemn expression.

Although Young Master Qingyang is not a member of the military, even Wang Chong is amazed by his talent. In order to let Young Master Qingyang participate in military affairs and help himself, since Young Master Qingyang followed him, Wang Chong has almost He taught by precept and by example, and also gave him a lot of military books compiled by himself.

Following all the way, the current Young Master Qingyang already has at least Wang Chong's seven or eight points in the art of war, and has been appointed by Wang Chong as the commander of this strategic operation, responsible for coordinating all affairs of the City of Steel.

Quietly in the hall, almost subconsciously, Young Master Qingyang and Li Junxian simultaneously turned their heads to look at Hubalshe.

The latter was startled at first, then he understood something, and smiled bitterly: "We have already reached this point. The Western Turkic Khanate has no way to retreat, and during this period of time you come and go, and the Uzbek Empire has also lost. Many soldiers and horses, even if I want to take the initiative to take refuge, I am afraid that Qinling might not be willing to accept me."

"Whether you believe it or not, at least one thing, I can promise that even if we fight to the last soldier, our Western Turkic Khanate will definitely guard here and will never retreat!"

Speaking of the last, Hubalxie looked solemn and solemn.
