"Liu Jingzhou is going to take the initiative to attack Cao's army?"

Zhuge Liang asked in surprise.

This is inconsistent with the character of Liu Biao that they know.

"Something has happened in the north..." Huang Zhong looked at Zhao Yun with a complicated look.

"Gongsun Zan of Youzhou openly seized the food that Guan Jing had raised for the disaster victims, causing a military mutiny and a civil uprising."

"Guan Jing, along with Black Mountain commander Zhang Yan, defected to Yuan Shao, who then formed an alliance with Lü Bu."

"Yuan Shao seized the opportunity to attack Youzhou, and Gongsun Zan set himself on fire... in the city."

Zhuge Tian and the others were speechless.

Most of Guan Jing's food was sold to him cheaply by Zhuge Tian and others at that time, or in other words, it was exchanged for Zhao Yun.

Unexpectedly, this attracted the covetousness of Gongsun Zan, which triggered military and civil uprisings.

Gongsun Zan was supposed to have committed suicide by burning himself in 199 AD.

Now it's a full year ahead of schedule.

Zhao Yun's face darkened. When he left Changshan County, he was thinking of working with Gongsun Zan to help this troubled world, but he didn't expect the ending to be like this.

And this is not over yet, Huang Zhong continued:

"Cao Cao sent his subordinate Liu Bei, the governor of Yuzhou, to garrison Pei County. The gold that Lü Bu sent to Hanoi to buy horses was looted by Liu Bei."

"Lü Bu was furious and sent General Gao Shun to join forces with Zhang Liao, the governor of Beidi, to attack Pei County. Xiahou Dun, sent by Cao Cao to reinforce him, was ambushed and Pei County fell. Liu Bei's wife, children, and grandchildren were all abducted by Lü Bu."

"Yuan Shao and Lu Bu have already deployed their troops in the area where Cao Cao's forces intersect. Cao Cao's subordinates, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Ren, are divided into three groups: heading north, northeast, and east to confront Yuan Shao and Lu Bu."

"Zhang Xiu's advisor Jia Xu strongly recommended that the Lord send troops yesterday in Xiangyang. However, due to a sudden heavy snowfall, the Lord decided to recapture the entire Nanyang County after the snow melted."

Zhuge Tian did not expect that the situation in the world would change so quickly. Perhaps it was because of his butterfly wings. In just over half a year, history had begun to deviate further and further from its original track.

"Old man Huang, where are you going?" Zhuge Tian asked.

"Yin County and Rang County sent troops to attack Wan County, Xiangyang and Xinye sent troops to attack Yuyang, and we, Deng County, sent troops to attack Wuyin."

Zhuge Liang frowned after hearing this: "Deng County's troops are going to attack Wuyin County?"

Deng County is just a small county. Although Wuyin has changed hands several times and the city defenses have been basically destroyed, it is still a medium-sized county.

The population size and military strength are both larger than those of Deng County, and they are going to attack the city. How can it be possible for a smaller number of people to defeat a larger number of people?

"This... is the proposal of General Zhennan's military advisor..."

"It's that bastard Cai Mao again!" Liao Hua rolled up his sleeves and said, "I should have beaten that bastard to death last time."

But everyone knew that he was just speaking in anger.

As long as Huang Zhong is still working under Liu Biao, military orders are as firm as a mountain.

This is also the reason why he saw these skiing tools and wanted to use them to launch a surprise attack on Wuyin County.

This way there might still be some chance of winning.

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and then said, "Speed ​​is of the essence in war. It started snowing heavily yesterday. Cao's army never expected us to march north in the snow."

"If we have these skis to transport the supplies, and we have cotton coats and trousers to keep warm, we do have a chance."

"You..." Huang Zhong looked at the others and asked, "You guys want to follow me again?"

"Of course!" Zhuge Tian said with a smile, "It's freezing cold, and there's no money to be made. I just don't know who the commander of Wuyin is, and whether he's worth the money!"

"Yes, I'm so idle now."

Liao Hua stretched lazily: "After killing and killing every day, I should go out and have some real fun."

Huang Zhong was not pretentious. This time when he led troops to attack Wuyin, even though his Deng County soldiers were well-equipped, their number was too small after all.

If we could get help from the people of Wolong Village, our chances of winning would be greatly increased.

Especially with Zhuge Liang around.

There were a lot of materials for making sleds and skis in Wolong Village. Huang Zhong sent all the craftsmen from Deng County over, and everything was ready in three days.

The most difficult part of marching in the snow is transporting baggage. People are already wearing a lot of clothes, and if the carriage is a little heavier, it will be difficult to move forward in the snow.

With a sled to transport food and fodder, the speed of advancement can be greatly increased.

The 10,000-strong army was all wearing linen cotton-padded clothes. The originally white linen was a little dirty and had taken on a grayish-white color, which was somewhat similar to the color of the snow.

Huang Zhong and his men set up camp in a secluded place during the day and moved forward at night.

After five days of marching over a hundred miles in the snow, they arrived at a valley outside Wuyin County.

At night, one could only see a rough dark outline of Wuyin County, like a giant beast lying in the snow in the distance.

"Early tomorrow morning, I'll take a few people into the city," Zhuge Tian said, "and find out what's going on in Wuyin County."

"Alright!" Zhuge Liang agreed. "Intelligence says there are still 30,000 defenders in Wuyin, but it's freezing cold, and they don't have any warm clothing, so they're probably hiding in the camp."

"It would be best if we could find where the other party's baggage is."

"Supplies? Okay!" Zhuge Tian nodded.

"Wuyin is located after Wanxian and Bowang. All the baggage from Xudu will pass through here before being sent to Wanxian and other counties in Nanyang Commandery. Therefore, there must be a large amount of baggage in Wuyin City, and the defenses must be tight. Brothers, please be careful."

"Don't worry. Wuyin County doesn't even know we're here. Tomorrow we'll just pretend to be civilians and enter the city normally." Zhuge Tian looked at Liao Hua and Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong and Yuan Jian will go with me tomorrow."

"Why don't you let me go?" Gan Ning complained.

Xu Chu also nodded.

"You two are too conspicuous," Zhuge Tian said with a smile. "We will enter the city tomorrow. If we find their baggage camp, we will give you a signal."

"You guys attack the city at night. We'll make some noise in the baggage camp, and then we can take down Wuyin with the help of both inside and outside forces."

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and said, "Let Yuanzhi go into the city with you."

Zhuge Tian looked at Xu Shu and nodded in agreement.

When it comes to thinking, he is indeed much worse than Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu.

Moreover, although Xu Shu's skills are not as good as theirs, they are still far superior to ordinary people.

This valley is originally a desolate place, and there is no need to worry about anyone coming here on such a snowy day.

After sending out scouts, everyone set up camp here.

At dawn the next day, Zhuge Tian and his companions headed towards Wuyin County.

Actually, they were the first group of people to enter the city.

"Where are you from? What do you do?"

"Go... go to the clinic to see a doctor..." Zhuge Tian made his own and Zhao Yun's skin darker, making them look like they were tanned from long-term labor.

He timidly took out a few copper coins from his sleeve and reluctantly put them into the guard's hand. He pointed at Liao Hua and said, "My brother has a bad sore on his hand."

Liao Hua cooperated by rolling up his sleeves, as Zhuge Tian had already made some arrangements there.

It looked like a large sore that was already oozing pus.

The guard shook the copper coins in his hand and looked at Liao Hua with disgust: "Go in, go in."
