Chapter 653: Winter is coming!

Longxi Mansion, Longcheng.

Elder Xu has already mobilized the main force of the army gathered in the

Jingbian City of Qifeng Mansion here. This will be the starting point for his

conquest of the Northern Barbarian.

Although Beiman had already withdrawn from Longxi Mansion, Father Xu did not

allow the people who fled Longxi Mansion to return to their hometowns after

repeated considerations.

Before the Beiman was completely defeated and destroyed, the people returned

to Longxi Mansion. Once the Beiman came again, it would be another disaster.

As for the whereabouts of the people in Longxi Mansion, Mr. Xu was transferred

to Qiping Mansion with a tough attitude.

Qiping Mansion experienced a locust plague, and there was also a civil

upheaval caused by Song Dahu. The population within the territory was greatly

reduced, and it was time to replenish the population.

Moreover, compared with the weather and environment of Longxi Mansion, Qiping

Mansion is much better.

"Huh... it's so cold!"

Early in the morning, Mr. Xu rubbed his hands, exhaled a white breath, and

appeared outside Mr. Xu's room.

This is mid-July. Although the Northland winter comes early, it is too early.

At this time last year, it was not so cold.

"Father, it's too cold this day, it's not a wise move for us to head north

now!"

Boss Xu, who originally agreed with Mr. Xu to lead the army to attack Beiman,

raised his objection the moment he saw his dad.

"Yeah, the sky is getting cold too fast!"

Mr. Xu didn't want to say that he was awake from freezing last night.

This is mid-July. It feels like winter is coming, and the weather is

abnormally cold.

"Father, then, let's...?"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up to assemble soldiers and horses, we have to

take advantage of the weather before it gets cold, walk north, set a fire and

return!"

The weather is cold so fast, Father Xu knows very well that at this time, if

the army goes out, in case of extreme weather, they don't have to fight with

Beiman, they will have to die in the cold.

"Father, I think, let's wait and see!"

Boss Xu once again sang the opposite tune with Mr. Xu, "When I got up in the

morning, I heard from the people below that it might be snowing!"

"If it really snows, it must be colder in the north, maybe it's snow already!"

"Have you heard from the scout?"

"Not yet, I'm afraid it won't work until noon."

"Then wait and see!"

Although Father Xu wanted to avenge Huang Fengkou's death in Guan Ting and

others, he had not fainted because of it. Revenge is not a desperate effort,

otherwise, if the previous revenge is not reported, a new one will be added,

and he will also endure a lifetime of conscience.

The sun rose higher and higher, but the temperature did not rise much.

The swish cold wind blows from the north.

The side where the sun is shining is hot.

The side out of the sun is cold.

By noon, the scouts sent by Old Man Xu returned one after another, bringing

back very bad news. It was really snowing in the north.

"It's snowing now?"

When Mr. Xu was shocked, his expression became more solemn.

The weather is so sudden that they don't have enough warm clothes on their

side yet, so what about Beiman?

At this moment, Father Xu probably understood why Beiman came again this year

after experiencing last year's big defeat, and why it came so fiercely.

The Northern Barbarians are storing various supplies for the winter.

"Father, what shall we do?"

"Send the third child immediately and ask him to prepare warm clothes and dry

firewood."

"Send the order to the whole army, go out to chop wood, and prepare for the

winter!"

It was only July, and the northern barbaric land boundary had already fallen

snow, which meant that the winter in Longxi Mansion was also approaching.

Without enough firewood, people will really freeze to death this winter.

At this time, Father Xu felt more and more that he had not made the people of

Longxi Mansion return to Longxi Mansion before it was an extremely wise

decision.

...

Glacier Mansion, Ningyuan City.

The Zhao family, who left Anshun County, Xiangyi Prefecture, were full of

complaints at the moment.

Zhao Bingjun's sons and grandchildren were all trembling in the cold, even if

the charcoal basin was burning in the house, the fire pit was also burning,

but they just felt cold.

As Zhao Bingjun's eldest son, Zhao Yixuan is the first successor of the Zhao

family.

He has a lot of brothers, and they are quite dissatisfied with him on

weekdays.

But today, Zhao Yixuan's group of younger brothers are all looking forward to

his head.

"Big brother, what the ** he is going to do, dad, are you not curious?"

Zhao Yide is the fourth brother of Zhao Yixuan, and he is the brother of a

female compatriot, but he has always been the one who is the least blessed to

Zhao Yixuan.

After all, as a mother born to the same mother, why can Zhao Yixuan inherit

more than 80% of the old Zhao's family business, and he can only take a

fraction?

"What Dad is going to do naturally has his opinions. Is it possible that the

fourth brother has opinions?"

Zhao Yixuan is not stupid.

Although he has some eyes above the top, he is clear about the thoughts of

these three younger brothers.

How submissive they are now in front of him, how much they want to pit him. I

want to use him as a swordsman and don't look in the mirror to see what they

look like.

"What can I say?"

Zhao Yide smiled, "I, and I don't inherit the family business, aren't you

worried about your eldest brother? Although our old Zhao family is rich in the

enemy's country, if we suffer a military disaster, we will have nothing."

"Is it?"

Zhao Yixuan took a mocking look at Zhao Yide, then turned to look at the other

two younger brothers, the second child Zhao Yizhen, and the third child Zhao

Yiming.

"You two, do you think so with Xiao Si?"

"Big Brother, I don't think so!"

Zhao Yiming smiled, "Our father suddenly brought us here. Ninety-nine percent

of them are related to the second uncle. At the beginning, our aunt married to

Xu Mansion, but the eldest brother has not forgotten what happened later!

"Say what you want!"

As Zhao Bingjun's eldest son, Zhao Yixuan was older than Father Xu when things

happened back then, so he naturally remembered many things.

"At the beginning, because of my aunt's affairs, my father and my second uncle

separated."

"But during this period of time, Dad and Second Uncle got together again. I

asked our housekeeper, and Dad mobilized a lot of silver and gave them to

Second Uncle."

"I think, Dad and Second Uncle may have to rebel!"

Zhao Yiming spoke of his analysis slowly, "The Northern Savage, who was beaten

like a dog by the Xuejiguan army before, but now they have broken through the

Xuejiguan one after another, and even defeated the elite soldiers of the first

guard under the command of Dingguo. !"

"Even if you are telling the truth, what do you want to express?"

Zhao Yixuan looked at this concubine third brother indifferently, with a

strange look in his eyes.

"Brother, rebellion, but a felony of the Jiu Clan!"

"It has been said since ancient times that those who win the hearts of the

people win the world!"

"Datang, the people's heart is not lost, no matter who wants to rebel, they

are destined to be defeated!"

"We, can't just watch our dad on the road of no return, we have to do

something."
