    "This weather is getting weirder and weirder. It's only early summer and it's so hot. If it's another month, it won't be possible for people to live?" Someone else was complaining not far away.

    "The weather this year is really weird. It snowed continuously in the winter, and frost appeared in millions of wild mountains. The summer is so hot, and there has been no rain for more than a month. It is estimated that there will be a once-in-a-century drought. This is really  It's abnormal" Gongsun Bian said in a deep voice while drinking water.

    This senior brother, who usually pays great attention to appearance, is also very hot at the moment, with his lapels open and even his sleeves rolled up.

    ¡°Don¡¯t look at it in the mountains. Due to the snowstorm last winter, many trees and vegetation in many places in the south were frozen to death and damaged, and they will not be able to recover within a year or two.  So Tie Heng and the others walked along the way. There were few trees in the mountains, and they were almost always walking under the bright sun. Most of them suffered a lot.  The only advantage is that there are far fewer annoying cicadas.

    "Is there any record of this kind of abnormal weather in history?" Tie Heng took the bamboo hat in his hand and fanned himself. He couldn't bear the sun.

    "That's not clear. Our Middle-earth China has been experiencing frequent wars for thousands of years, and many documents and materials have been destroyed in the flames of war." Gongsun Bian shook his head with a wry smile, then took another big gulp of water, and then filled the water bag  Passed it to Tie Heng.

    Tie Heng also took a few sips and poured some on his neck and forehead, which brought some cooling.  Tie Heng handed the water bag to Dong Liang again, but this young man with a square face didn't even have a drop of sweat on his body. He practiced fire magic. Such a hot temperature not only did not make him feel uncomfortable, but he was leisurely and contented. It was very  Being comfortable is also of great benefit to his cultivation.

    "Damn it, if I had known that I shouldn't have listened to that guy." Dong Liang's body was not hot, but there was a sense of anger in his heart.  He stared at Gao Pengfei under a big tree opposite, looking very resentful.

    Tie Heng and Gongsun Bian both laughed when they heard this and patted his arm to comfort him.

    It turns out that their group was traveling eastward with the military's baggage convoy at the beginning. However, after entering Yuezhou, the mountainous terrain of Yuezhou made the team often take long detours.  Gao Pengfei and the others were in a hurry, and they all wanted to rush to the front line as soon as possible to make contributions and gain fame, but how could they endure such delay.  Two days ago, everyone discussed it and simply left the baggage convoy and stopped taking the official road. They bought two maps from the locals and took the trails in the mountains. They wanted to rely on shortcuts to save time, but the result was counterproductive. Because in a few months,  In the previous snowstorm, the thick snow caused many avalanches and mountain collapses in the mountainous areas. When spring came and the snow melted, the melted snow caused mudslides, and several mountain trails were buried or collapsed.  When the group found out, they were already in a dilemma. In the end, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue trekking through the rugged mountains, preparing to cross the mountainous area and return to the official road.

    It was Gao Pengfei who advocated taking shortcuts at that time, so Dong Liang naturally blamed him for the current unfortunate situation.  Moreover, there is no harmony between the two groups. Those graduates of the Fa Dao branch have always been unconvinced by Gongsun Bian. Gongsun Bian has always been the object of praise and respect by teachers, and is often used as a positive example.  It's a heavy pressure for seniors like them. Dong Liang is also favored by the teachers and has a famous master. It's a shame if others don't envy or envy him.

    And Tie Heng is a very annoying figure in the eyes of Gao Pengfei and other graduates of the Military and Military Branch.  Tie Heng defeated Xie Xiwen in the competition, and Xie Xiwen had defeated two of their classmates before, and was still the best among them. In comparison, Gao Pengfei and others seemed inferior to his first-year students. They stayed in  Naturally, I feel uncomfortable together. How can I show Tie Heng a good face?

    "Look at that guy, what do you think this is, an outing? He's going to fight, and he's kissing me with a woman. It's so embarrassing." Dong Liang was still thinking casually.

    There was a beautiful girl sitting next to Gao Pengfei. Her name was Li Qian. She was the top graduate of the Fa Dao Branch this year. She and Gao Pengfei were childhood sweethearts.  This time, she and several classmates were assigned to the magician corps of the Crusade Army. Their official ranks were different from ordinary military positions, but their status and remuneration were much higher, and they belonged to the privileged class in the military.

    At this time, the two of them had the shade of a tree to themselves, and no one else came to disturb them. Therefore, the two of them talked and laughed, as if they were in love.  No wonder Dong Liang didn't like it and made sarcastic remarks.

    Tie Heng smiled helplessly. Seeing that Dong Liang was so resentful, he stopped trying to persuade him. He simply closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap to relieve his fatigue. However, there was another loud argument not far away. Several soldiers and soldiers were arguing.  The seniors in the branch argued endlessly with their own opinions.

    "We must persevere in this Northern Expedition and must not give up at this juncture, otherwise we will fall short. As long as we can completely solve the problems on the grassland,Tatars, the court can concentrate its efforts to eradicate those separatist forces one by one.  You must understand that the border army in the northern border is the most powerful army in our Great Rong Dynasty besides the Tianyu Guards, and it is close to Yunzhou. We can deal with it first, and then use the power of victory to move southward.  Deal with the one from Haizhou.  "A short and stocky young man sat upright and talked with great enthusiasm, his voice was particularly loud.

    "If we withdraw the army from the Northern Expedition now, all the sacrifices and huge supplies of food and supplies will be wasted. Those Tatars will be able to recover in less than two years, and they will definitely retaliate against the invaders. It will be too late to regret it by then.  That¡¯s it.¡±

    "I don't agree with what you said. If you ask me, it's better to withdraw the army. Since we have driven the Tatars to the north of the prairie, we have also annihilated so many of their main forces and weakened their Dingkou and  Livestock, then our strategic goal has been achieved. In a short period of time, they will no longer be able to respond to those rebellious people. At this time, we should concentrate our superior forces and put down those false kings. Even if it doesn't work, we should greatly weaken them.  Strength. For example, in Tongzhou, King Ning gathered all his troops in Haizhou. If we have sufficient military strength, we should take the opportunity to capture Tongzhou, which is enough to combat the momentum of the puppet King Ning." Another young man expressed his opinion.

    "Absurd, ridiculous, you are simply stupid." Another person jumped out and refuted the former argument.  "Don't even think about the topography of Tongzhou. It borders the sea to the east, Longjiang River to the south, Yinlongze to the west, and the Otsuka Mountains to the north. As long as you guard a few passes and arteries, it's not difficult to break into Tongzhou from land.  Easy. And our navy is not dominant now, and it is difficult to reach the sky if we want to advance both by water and land. On the other hand, in Haizhou, although the water network is dense, the terrain is not complicated, which is convenient for the deployment of the army. It is for this reason that the imperial court directly  Haizhou is under attack. Besides, King Ning stationed at least one-third of his army in Tongzhou in order to take precautions. This dispersed his forces, which is beneficial to us."

    "So I just say, maintain the status quo and wait until the Northern Expedition army completely defeats the Tatars, then you can turn around and deal with those rebellious and false kings." The short and stocky young man who was the first to speak shouted again.

    "But the problem now is that the imperial court's finances may not be sustainable. If you do the math, there are troops from the three major sects in the north, west, northeast, and southeast, as well as surveillance and defense. The total number of troops mobilized is nearly three million, plus those civilians.  , how much money and food are consumed every day? How much is left in the treasury? And those rebels are not so easy to deal with. Look at the expeditionary army in the east. Faced with King Ning¡¯s decades of hard work, the fortresses in the city are high and deep.  , even the most powerful army in the world like the Huben Guards has made no progress. It cannot be done overnight to wipe out the rebels, and it is best to make plans slowly." There are new people who have expressed their views, which is commendable.  Be prudent.

    "They are really energetic." Tie Heng muttered.  This group of seniors who graduated from the Zibingwu Branch, apart from martial arts, have learned most about military strategy, so they pay special attention to the current war, and they are the most enthusiastic when chatting. Everyone can say a few words, and they don¡¯t know anything along the way.  We have argued so many times, but no one has been able to convince the others to unify their opinions.

    "A Heng, using what you said last time, what do they call this?" Gongsun Bian asked with a strange look on his face.

    "It's called Xian's egg pain." Tie Heng replied deliberately and seriously.

    "Yes, yes, it just hurts, haha" Gongsun Bian couldn't hold back anymore and laughed out loud.

    Dong Liang on the side also laughed loudly, especially when he thought about what Tie Heng once explained, he laughed even louder, and his unscrupulous laughter spread far away.

    "Xiaowu, you always have some new words coming out of your mouth, haha, I don't know how your head grows, but it makes sense when you think about it, hahaha" Dong Liang smiled more and more exaggeratedly, those few  The senior didn't understand at first, but soon felt that he was laughing at them, and immediately lowered his face and glared at the three of them.

    "Isn't it just idleness? A bunch of idiots who can only talk on paper, why can't they just calm down for a while in such a hot day!" Dong Liang resented these people because of Gao Pengfei, and he started talking  Come without any hesitation.

    "Boy, what are you talking about?" The two sharp-eared young men immediately jumped up and pointed at Dong Liang and asked angrily.
