Chapter 2215 Taishi’s Strategy!

"Just by doing this, wouldn't it be a missed opportunity?"

An Lushan frowned when he heard this, and the other Youzhou generals also fell silent.

According to An Lushan, the enemy is on the opposite side and can even be seen with the naked eye. Naturally, the sooner he destroys it, the better.

In fact, at the last moment, if Taishi hadn't stopped him, he would have ordered the Yiluohe Army to continue their pursuit.

Although he was partly afraid of Wang Chong's strength, to be honest, An Lushan didn't know Taishi's specific strategy so far.

Although the Khitan King and others around him did not speak, they had the same look in their eyes.

"Don't worry, they can't escape!"

As if he knew what everyone was thinking, Taishi clasped his hands behind his back, flicked his sleeves, and looked more and more proud.

"I don't care about other people, but that kid must die!"

When he said the last sentence, Taishi had a serious look on his face, and there was a strong murderous intention all over his body. Even the Khitan King and others couldn't help but feel shuddered in their hearts, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

On the other hand, An Lushan and others were happy. No matter what Taishi wanted to do, as long as he wanted to kill Wang Chong, their goals were the same.

"But before that, we might as well wait for a while. I have already arranged everything. In ten days, the cold wave will come. That will be our best chance."

Taishi paused, then spoke.

"Uh-huh!"

Hearing the word "cold wave", everyone in the hall except An Lushan and others changed their expressions, especially Khan Usumis, King Khitan, and Queen Xi. All three of them could not sit still.

They have seen the power of the cold wave. The countries were originally driven out of their respective places by the cold wave.

If the cold wave moves southward and the countries have no shelter, we don’t know how many people will freeze to death.

"Don't worry, everyone. Since Mr. Taishi said so, arrangements must have been made!"

Gao Shang suddenly took a few steps forward, glanced at everyone, and said calmly.

When Taishi heard this, he frowned slightly and glanced at Gao Shang slightly, but he did not deny it.

"Yes, from now on, including after the cold wave comes, the entire Youzhou area will become the only place in the world that is not affected by the cold wave."

"You each restrain your troops and horses, and you can also gather all your people here. As long as you don't leave the Youzhou area, you will be safe!"

Taishi raised his head and said.

The whole Youzhou?

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and were moved by it.

The horror of the cold wave was something that no one wanted to recall, and there were intact eggs under the overturned nest. Everyone thought that another catastrophe would follow, but according to Taishi's words, there seemed to be another turning point.

Just an area as big as Youzhou?

How come there is such a big refuge?

It was really hard for everyone to imagine how this person named Taishi did it.

Moreover, the words of Taishi in front of him revealed that he was extremely knowledgeable about cold waves. He could even tell when the next bigger cold wave would come, and he already had a way to deal with it. This gave everyone a sense of An indescribable weird feeling.

I always feel that the Taishi in front of me seems to be inextricably related to this unprecedented cold wave.

But An Lushan seemed to have an extremely close relationship with this Taishi.

Thinking of this, everyone no longer dared to think about it anymore. They just looked at each other, but no one said anything.

"Thank you, sir!"

Thousands of words finally turned into a simple sentence. In the hall, whether it was Usumis Khan or Yuan Gaisuwen, these powerful men and women in the past chose to obey the reality at this moment, and one after another Lower your head.

…

Looking all the way north, through the frozen Turkic steppe, across Lake Baikal, to the distant North Pole, where the wind and snow are rolling, and the boiling snow and fog are so dense that they fill the sky and earth like mist. At a glance, there are continuous sky after sky. Land, no boundaries can be seen at all.

And in the rolling snow and fog, the cold wind howled, like a sword, solid as substance, filling the whole world.

It has been a long time since the cold wave came.

In the face of the power of nature, no matter what kind of ice ability user they are, they cannot compare with it.

In the Arctic zone at this moment, even a strong man with the level of an empire general would only die if he entered here.

It was windy and snowy, and this scene seemed like it would last forever.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the earth shook and the mountains shook. Farther to the north, at the end of the wind and snow, a thunderous roar came from afar. At this moment, even the billions of time and space in the void began to tremble.

Somewhere in space and time, there seemed to be a collapse, and then the howling of the cold wind became more than ten times stronger. At the same time, a cold wave that was much colder than ever before seemed to cross the void. , blowing from the depths of time and space.

"Crash!"

In the windy and snowy desert, in an arctic forest, the strong wind blew, and the towering trees that had turned into ice sculptures were broken, fell, or even exploded in pieces under the strong wind, turning into countless pieces. of ice crystal fragments.

And a new, overwhelming wave of snow swept in from north to south like thunder and lightning.

Rumble, at that moment, the heaven and earth roared, as if thousands of horses were galloping.

In just a moment, with a click, the originally white ground covered with thick snow suddenly formed a thick layer of ice and headed south at an alarming speed.

After a while, the entire area in the Arctic Land had already turned into a frozen area.

Further south, the pastures where the East and West Turkic Khanate once grazed their cattle were covered in wind and snow, extremely manic. After a short period of stagnation, they began to advance southward again.

…

South, Middle-earth China.

After receiving Wang Chong's letter, the entire Middle-earth China was mobilized. Every day, officials of all sizes were dispatched to organize various states, governments, and households to continuously dig kilns, store food, and prepare food in their rooms. Supplies to keep out the cold.

Even the Xiang Army and Forbidden Army in the city joined the team.

Underground kiln!

The Battle of Khorasan, in that unprecedented extremely cold snowstorm, has proven to be an extremely effective way to keep out the cold. Although it is actually just as cold in the underground kiln, there is a temperature difference of dozens of degrees compared to the outdoors.

This is the last hope of survival!

Under the leadership of the imperial court, there were countless such large and small underground kilns in Kyushu.

In addition, despite the cold weather, every household starts preparing for smoking various cured products early. The strips of bacon hanging under the eaves have become a unique scenery in China.

As for keeping out the cold wind and snow, in addition to the cotton batting issued by the court, each household stacked and mended their own old clothes to make thicker cloth clothes. This was also a temporary measure...

Men, women, old and young, everyone in the entire Tang Dynasty was busy.

No one knew what happened, or why it was done because it was just a winter, but everyone felt the tense atmosphere in the air and saw the frowns on the officials' faces.

Time passed in this tense atmosphere, and more than ten days passed in a flash.

In the steel fortress, Wang Chong was wearing armor and standing in the main hall of the entire military town.

"I don't know how prepared the rear is."

Wang Chong held a military book in his hand, his heart fluctuating as he thought of China behind him.

Wang Chong lowered his head and subconsciously glanced at a simple bronze cauldron placed on the ground six feet away in front of him. The cauldron had a unique shape, with animal shapes on all sides. Inside the cauldron, there was a blazing charcoal fire, and waves of heat were sweeping across it. And out.

At the beginning, there was no such carbon tripod in the main hall.

Wang Chong clearly felt that the temperature had dropped by more than ten degrees compared to before, and even the floor of the main hall was covered with a thin layer of white frost.

The Great Ice Age!

In his previous life, Wang Chong's family was displaced, and many relatives died during this period. Thinking of this, Wang Chong couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment, but he soon came back to his senses.

"Zhang Que, what did the court say?"

Wang Chong suddenly spoke.

"Back to the prince, 90% of the work has been completed. Almost every household has a cellar. In addition, due to the early preparations, each household has prepared more than half a month's grain storage. But if it is really like what the prince said, by then even Life is still a problem.”

"Write another letter to notify the court and inform all states and governments that when using briquettes, there must be a gap and the house must not be completely sealed."

Wang Chong thought for a moment and suddenly spoke.

"Honeycomb" is an efficient way to use coal. It does not produce a large amount of smoke, but it can release heat for a long time and keep the room warm.

It's just that if this kind of briquettes are not burned sufficiently, it will produce gases that people of this era are temporarily unaware of. This is what Wang Chong is most worried about when he promotes the method of briquettes.

During the Great Ice Age, a large number of people must have closed their houses to keep out the cold, which was very dangerous.

"Understood! I will notify the imperial court to set up a special supervisor to supervise this matter. What do you think?"

Seeing Wang Chong's shocked expression, Zhang Que thought for a moment and said.

Wang Chong heard this and nodded slightly.

"Well, we also need to find a way to gather people together as a unit of five households as much as possible. This can reduce energy consumption and take care of each other. We don't know how long this cold wave will last. We must prepare for the worst. Intend!"

"My subordinate understands!"

Zhang Que quickly bowed and saluted.

After giving these instructions, the uneasiness in Wang Chong's heart was somewhat relieved.

"What's going on with the coalition forces outside the city?"

Wang Chong asked.

"This... is still the same as before. Although there has been no major war during this period, contact battles of all sizes, including night attacks, have continued uninterrupted."

"I don't know how many people tried to dig tunnels into the city during this period. Although most of them failed, there were occasionally one or two gaps that they found. Senior Zhang Shou has led a team of craftsmen to cover those places with molten iron. Repaired and added an inscription.”

"In addition, dozens of troops from various countries who want to use hook locks to climb the city wall and sneak into the city at night have been discovered and cannot be eradicated."
