"No! What the son-in-law said is the truth, let me listen to the son-in-law's words!"

"Speak quickly!"

"It is a fact that it is difficult to march due to heavy snowfall in the sky, and everyone can see it. However, the heavy snow is not just above our heads, but it is heavy snowing in the entire Sili area. My father-in-law, think about it, others will also be unable to walk because of heavy snow."

"Huh? That's true, but this only shows that God is fair to everyone, why does the virtuous son-in-law say he favors us?"

The curiosity and excitement in Dong Zhuo's eyes were not fake, but really looking forward to Li Ru's reason for God to favor him. What a happy thing!

"Haha, it's very simple. Did my father-in-law forget that we are all from the north, and winter is the best time for cavalry hunting. Which of the elite soldiers behind us has never fought on the snow field in winter? In other words, we have rich experience in marching on the snow, but on the other hand, we may not have this experience, especially those in the south, and the distance to the north is still far. Therefore, isn't this God's favor to my father-in-law!"

After Li Ru finished speaking loudly, his throat was a little itchy, and he couldn't help but pursed his lips and swallowed his saliva, while Dong Zhuo smiled. In the wind and snow, Dong Zhuo's laughter soared into the sky.

"Haha... It's true that God is blessing me! Everyone is moving forward faster. Glory and wealth are waiting for us in front! The capital of the world of flowers is not far away!"

"General Hong Fu!!"

The troops that were depressed just now were already full of energy in a blink of an eye. They didn’t feel cold or hungry. The warm and charming women’s bodies and sweet and intoxicating food and wine in the capital were all waiting for them!

....................................................................

"Brother, this won't work. The snow is getting deeper and deeper, and the infantry can't leave at all, and the carriages of the baggage are all trapped in the snow."

Guan Yu rushed to Liu Bei with a very annoyed look on his face and complained helplessly that the sudden snowstorm was indeed very annoying.

"Lord, heavy snow will not only hinder our itinerary, but also hinder the itinerary of Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu and others. I think we should avoid the wind and snow!

Sun Qian took off the hood on his head, looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky, and suggested helplessly.

Liu Bei sighed: "God will not give me! God will not give me!"

"Why did my brother say this? The heavy snow is definitely on our heads. The whole Sili was hit by this blizzard. How could my brother say something discouraged!"

"Second brother! You have also fought in Youzhou. How could you not know that the cavalry's mobility is much stronger than that of infantry in heavy snow?"

Guan Yu's face changed rapidly! Sun Qian was also stunned!

"Brother, what should I do? Otherwise, I will hurry to Luoyang with my personal guards!"

Liu Bei shook his head dejectedly: "What's the use of this? Even if you have hundreds of people in Luoyang, how can you compete with Dong Zhuo's army? It's just a loss of life. Let's continue to go, let's leave it to fate, that's all!"

Sun Gan and Guan Yu looked at each other, and Liu Bei stopped talking, but got off the war horse and walked stumblingly in the snow with the soldiers who were walking forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Guan Yu sighed to the sky, turned his horse's head and ran back. There was no other way except to continue moving forward.

After receiving the emperor's secret edict, Liu Bei urgently transferred back to Guan Yu, organized 5,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry to quietly head north, leaving Zhang Fei to stay in Wancheng. Who knew that the large army had encountered this heavy snow shortly after entering Sili. Seeing that Luoyang was still two days away, after such delay, I was afraid that it would not be possible to reach Luoyang in three days.

If we look at the distance just from Wan County to Luoyang, the distance from Wan County to Luoyang is about 1,500 miles, while the distance from Pingliang to Luoyang is more than 3,000 miles. Even if the speed of the cavalry is several times that of the infantry, there is still a road condition problem. The roads in the south are obviously much better than those in the north, and Liu Bei's departure date is obviously earlier than Dong Zhuo.

Liu Bei, who was destined to arrive in Luoyang first, was blocked by heavy snow. Luoyang's fate was quietly changed by a blizzard. This is a pity for the wisdom of the intelligent brain! Perhaps, the intelligent brain has gained some inspiration from Cao Cao's experience in history!

....................................................

In fact, Yuan Shu was also blocked by heavy snow.

Where is the foundation of the Yuan family? It must be in Yuzhou. The Yuan family was originally from Ruyang, Runan. As the Yuan family became more and more powerful in the capital, the Yuan family's own clan was also called a deep-rooted clan in Ruyang.

It was impossible for Yuan Wei to recruit rural soldiers at this time, but Yuan Wei represented not only their Yuan family, but the entire Central Plains clan. Therefore, as a military commander, Yuan Shu took over the garrisons and private soldiers from Zhongmu and Xingyang lines, but because Yanshi is now controlled by He Miao, he can only detour from Yangcheng in the south, which has increased a lot of itinerary.

At the same time, the aristocratic group also mobilized a large number of troops from Diannong Jun in Ji County and Yiyang to gather in Luoyang. Yuan Wei did not mobilize Zhu Jun from Runan, for fear that Zhang Mancheng from Tongbai Mountain would take the opportunity to counterattack. After all, Ruyang is the original family of the Yuan family, and Yuan Wei did not want the Yuan family to be affected by the Yellow Turban thief again, and Runan was also somewhat in a relationship that was far away from the water and near the fire.

In addition, the troops of Hedong County cannot be mobilized, because Dong Zhuo's troops seem to have the idea of ​​taking Hedong County to open the passage from Luoyang to Pingliang. Similarly, the troops of Henoi County need to be guarded against Ding Yuan and Han Fu, and they cannot be mobilized easily.

However, all these crucial military mobilizations were blocked by heavy snow. These private soldiers and garrisons were not formal field troops. Even if those garrisons and private soldiers were trained in accordance with regular troops and were all elite troops raised by these aristocratic races, it is inevitable that there would be no large-scale war test.

In the face of such serious natural obstacles, the weakness of these troops' lack of adaptability was highlighted. Under the blizzard, the speed of moving forward was almost the same as that of a snail. Even if Yuan Shu threatened and tempted, the effect was almost no, and the morale of the troops dropped very strongly. If he continued to force his troops, there was even a possibility of collapse. Yuan Shu had to order camping on the spot to hide from the wind and snow. In fact, Yuan Shu himself could not stand this environment.

So, the greatest capital and bargaining chip that Yuan Wei, who was restless in the capital, quietly fell silent in a blizzard. However, Yuan Wei received the report from Yuan Shu that he was overcoming all difficulties and striving to move towards the capital. However, Yuan Wei, a smart man, did not discover the word game that Yuan Shu played.

....................................................

Ding Yuan naturally would not fall behind. Not only did he summon his adopted son Lu Bu, he even led his army south personally. 40,000 Bingzhou cavalry rushed to Hanoi County in a low-key manner.

However, Ding Yuan was even more miserable. As soon as their cavalry entered Shangdang County, they encountered heavy wind and snow, and the wind and snow accompanied them all the way south until they covered up the entire Sili.

Although the Bingzhou cavalry did not care about the blizzard, the blizzard inevitably slowed down their pace, especially the mountainous roads in Bingzhou, the thick snow and the avalanches that occurred at any time seriously hindered Ding Yuan's journey south.

Although Ding Yuan was anxious, he knew that such a thing was really unhurried. If you want to blame him, you can only blame Ding Yuan himself. Over the years in Bingzhou, he has not yet cultivated the second straight road to go south.

Lu Bu's excitement when he went south to the capital was also destroyed by the heavy snow. He was a general and would look at this trip to the capital from a war perspective. Lu Bu had a clear understanding of the situation in the capital. Now the capital is a battlefield where military balance has been temporarily achieved and there is insufficient military strength.

Everyone is eager to mobilize troops to this battlefield, and whoever arrives first will benefit, and whoever reinforcements will be able to control Luoyang first. No matter how the situation develops in the future, the people who control Luoyang will undoubtedly have the most say, while other people who arrive later will be afraid of the opportunity and become very passive.

Lu Bu, who was originally full of confidence and wanted to show his skills in the capital, was blocked by this blizzard. If he was defeated by this blizzard in the end, Lu Bu would really not be able to calm down his unwillingness!

However, no matter how unwilling you are, you cannot change the fact that Blizzard blocks the road.

....................................................

In fact, the one who knows the current situation best is not the emperor who has been in charge of the world for hundreds of years, nor the aristocratic families who control Sizhou. It is even more impossible for He Jin, who has a superficial foundation, but the players who are everywhere and will not be troubled by the bad weather!

Although war horses will slow down by heavy snow and will be blocked by heavy snow when walking by themselves, players have the characteristics of not being afraid of cold or wind. Therefore, for them, heavy snow means that visibility is reduced a little, roads are more difficult to walk, and war horses consume more energy faster, and there is no other impact.

The situation around Luoyang is now gathering on the players' forum. This person used pictures and text to reveal Dong Zhuo's status and position. The person used text to broadcast the touching deeds of Liu Bei leading the way against the wind and snow. Some were shooting videos outside Yuan Shu's camp. Some even watched Lu Bu cursing on the top of the mountain, swearing and digging the road blocked by the avalanche. Some also reported that they were seeing Yuan Shao leading the team through the frozen Yellow River and returning to Jizhou.

This is an unprecedented excitement, a big gamble that uses marches to determine political destiny, especially this sudden blizzard, which blurs the originally obvious ending and makes everything unknown. For the emperor, it is really a matter of planning and accomplishing things in heaven. For players, they can only sigh that the intelligent brain is clever!

Although there are no players who directly participate in this excitement, when these troops arrive around Luoyang, it will turn into a feast for players. At that time, it will no longer be a confrontation between two camps, but a confrontation between three or more camps. The complexity and intensity, the grudges and entanglement are really exciting!

At the same time, players are also looking forward to when players can also participate in this highest level of political game, which looks really fun! (To be continued...)
