After seeing off Xie Jin and Zhong Shidao, Xia Bolong asked Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Ma Lei to lead the three armies of Zhenrong, Deshun and Huaide to station respectively in Pingxia City, Xi'an Prefecture and Huizhou. The three places bordered Xixia and were truly important frontiers. Reading at Zero Point

Zhenrong, Deshun, and Huaide, who had changed the commander of the Xiangdu, continued to take on the important task of stationing the border, but it was different from the past, because after this battle, they not only received rewards, but also won military achievements. No one took the military achievements again, and there would be no deduction of military salaries, so the soldiers of the three armies obeyed Xia Bolong's orders.

Xia Bolong left the Liangshan Army to station in Pingliang, responsible for training the 20,000 surrendered troops in the Western Xia, and he took Zhao Gou and his family to Qinzhou to take office.

Xia Bolong is now the Chief of the Military Control Commissioner of Qin Fenglu, and the General Manager of the Military and Horses. In other words, as long as it is within the jurisdiction of Qin Fenglu, he can mobilize all the military and horses.

The Western Army refers to all the troops in Shaanxi Road. Shaanxi Road connects Qiangrong in the west, Tong in the east, Shu, Han in the south, Shu, Han in the north. Among the various military forces of the Song Dynasty, the Western Army has the most famous reputation and the Western Army has the strongest combat capabilities. The men in Guanxi are all strong and agile. After joining the army, this advantage gradually emerges.

The regular troops of the Western Army were 360,000, which was also the entire Shaanxi Road. If some other reserve troops and servicing troops were added, the total number could reach 480,000, and the number and strength of the people could not be ignored. Therefore, generally, those who served as commanders of the Western Army were high-ranking officials, and they were the closest people around the emperor.

Shaanxi Road was divided into Yongxing, Fuyan, Huanqing, Qinfeng, Jingyuan and Xihe. After Tong Guan became the leader of the Western Army, in order to facilitate management, he merged the six routes into two routes, one was Yongxing Army Road and the other was Qinfeng Road, each commanding half of the troops of the Western Army. With Wugong County west of Jingzhao Prefecture as the boundary, Wugong west was divided into Qinfeng Road and governing all areas of Shaanxi Road. This division really made Tong Guan much easier. The former promoted the Qinfeng Road strategic appeasement commander Liu Fa was his right-hand man. He enjoyed his happiness in Jingzhao Prefecture, and left the border affairs to Liu Fa. However, Tong Guan never dreamed that the emperor would sign Xia Bolong as the strategic appeasement commander of Qinfeng Road.

Qin Fenglu ruled the twelve states including Fengxiang Prefecture and Qinzhou. In order to please Tong Guan, Liu Fashi moved the capital to Fengxiang Prefecture next to Jingzhao Prefecture. Xia Bolong took office without having to flatter Tong Guan, so he naturally regarded Qinzhou as a capital and rushed to Qinzhou to take office.

Qinzhou, Tianshui County in Liangzhou in ancient times, is in Tianshui City in Gansu. Qinzhou has a long history, profound cultural origins, and rich culture. As early as more than 7,000 years ago, our ancestors reproductive and prosperous on this land and are one of the main birthplaces of the Chinese nation. It is naturally happy that Xia Bolong came here to take office.

It is still a little far from Pingliang to Qinzhou. At least it will take several days to walk in this severe weather with wind and snow.

After the Spring Festival, before she could enjoy the warmth, Xia Bolong and his group rushed to Qinzhou to take office. However, at this time, the blizzard became more and more fierce, and the biting cold wind brought large swaths of snowflakes. The cold wind shook the branches, roared wildly, and blew away the entire snow pile, swept into the air.

The cold wind kept whistling, and the direction was changing unsteadily, almost overturning the carriages and horses, shaving the faces of the riders like sharp stones, making them unable to breathe or speak. The bells tied to the shaft of the carriage could not hear the sound at all. Amid the roar and howling of the whirlwind, only a wave of miserable sounds were heard, like a wolf howl, like a horse neighing in the distance, and sometimes like people's cry for help in the smallest disaster.

With a loud "Ka" sound, the blizzard blew over a carriage walking at the end. The coachman on the carriage rolled down a small hill with his people and horses.

"What's the sound?" Tang Yiming held Cai Xinrui in his arms and asked loudly.

"Sir! The carriage that was pulling luggage behind was blown over by the storm. The carriage rolled into the valley below." A soldier riding a horse outside the carriage, wrapped in a thick cotton coat, and carrying the storm, shouted loudly.

The snow is falling and the wind is blowing.

"Husband, my clothes... clothes..." Cai Xinrui shivered coldly, and her teeth kept fighting, and she said vaguely.

"When is it time to return clothes? When you arrive in Qinzhou, I will buy you as much as you want! Wife, I will go out to see the prince and find a place to shelter from the wind and snow. Put this robe on, and your face will no longer be warm." Xia Bolong personally put a thick cotton robe on Cai Xinrui, and then without waiting for Cai Xinrui to sing, he opened the curtain and left the carriage.

The carriage has now stopped, only two of the three carriages left. The carriage behind it has been rolled into the ravine. Because of the thick snow, the driver was not hurt at all and was climbing up from the bottom of the ravine.

There were still ten cavalrymen following around the carriage, all carefully selected by the Liangshan Army and responsible for protecting Xia Bolong along the way. On the front carriage, Zhao Gou, Wang Qian and Cai Xinrui's maid Xiaohe was pulled, and the two knights guarding the left and right of the carriage were Lu Fang and Guo Sheng in the Liangshan Army.

As soon as Xia Bolong jumped out of the carriage, his feet immediately fell into the thick snow. He looked around and did not see any inns or houses nearby that could hide from the wind and snow. He smiled bitterly: "In the wilderness, where can I find a hotel to stay? I am simply a fool!"

When Lu Fang saw Xia Bolong getting off the carriage, he drove the horse to the front in the wind and snow, bowed and shouted on the horse's back: "Sir, why are you getting off? It's very windy and snowy outside, so please go to the carriage. As for the carriage that fell down the hillside, our brothers will come up with it."

Xia Bolong said: "It's okay if you don't want it, just a few clothes, it's not worth much money. Lu Fang, where are we?"

"Sir, we have now crossed this hurdle at the junction of Dalong Mountain and Xiaozhai Mountain, and we have entered the territory of Qinzhou in front." Lu Fang replied.

"The mountain road is hard to walk, and it's a blizzard again. It's better to go around and see if there are any caves to shelter from the wind. There are still some remaining dry food on the bus. Let's just eat some. It's not too late to rush the road when the wind and snow stop!" Xia Bolong said.

Lu Fang nodded and said, "Sir, I will go and search for it later."

"Yeah, go!" Xia Bolong said.

Lu Fang said to the other eight knights: "I'm happy to protect my elders!"

The other eight cavalrymen said in unison: "Don't worry, leader!"

When Xia Bolong saw Lu Fang and Guo Sheng left, the eight knights separated, each four guarding a carriage, with their heads, faces and bodies covered with heavy snow like goose feathers, standing motionless in the snow.

Turning back, Xia Bolong saw the coachman climbing up from the hillside, walked straight to him, bowed and said, "The villain has driven the adult's carriage below the hillside, I'm here to apologize to the adult!"

"No need, in this weather, it would be nice to be able to distinguish the way out. It's not your fault, it's just some clothes." Xia Bolong said.

The coachman repeatedly thanked him.

After a while, Lu Fang came back alone and came to Xia Bolong and said, "Sir, there is a cave not far ahead, and the space is enough to accommodate everyone. Guo Sheng was already angry with a bonfire. Please move the cave."

So everyone went to the cave together.

The size of the cave is quite appropriate, at least everyone has hidden in the cave and there are still many free places.

"Take those horses into the cave together!" Xia Bolong shouted when he saw the horses standing outside in the wind and snow.

The coachmen went out one after another, untied the horses tied to the shaft, led all twelve horses into the cave, and held them on the reins with stones. As soon as the horses entered the warm cave, they lay lazily on the ground.

The fire reflected the entire cave. Xia Bolong carefully observed the scene in the cave, but saw that there were rock walls around him. There was a stone bed in the innermost part of the cave. There was some soft and dry weeds on the stone bed. It would be very comfortable if it lay on it. There was a long-out bonfire on the left of the stone bed, and there was still no burnt wood inside. In the corner opposite the stone bed, there was a large pile of dry firewood, which was neatly placed, which should be the same as the firewood burned in front of him.

Xia Bolong felt very curious. When he turned around, he saw a torn cotton jacket on the firewood. He was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Who is living here?"

Lu Fang said: "Sir, no one. Maybe there were people in the past, but now there are not. Our brothers looked around and found no footprints, nor did they find anyone. There are only such things in this cave."

Xia Bolong felt relieved. He thought it was Lu Fang and the others who killed the owner of the cave.

Time passed by bit by bit, and the blizzard was falling all the time, without any thought of stopping.

Before they knew it, it was dark, and everyone was on the bonfire, ate some dry food, prepared some hay and spread it on the ground, and they all rested. Lu Fang, Guo Sheng and others took turns to stay at night, responsible for taking care of the bonfire not going out.

The next morning, heavy snow piled up at the entrance of the cave, as thick as a calf. When the wind stopped, the snow stopped. A road was cleared by Lu Fang and others in front of the cave gate. The horses were led out and the carriage was cleaned.

"Ah Yeh!"

Zhao Gou suddenly sneezes, rubbed his nose hard, hugged his body, and opened his eyes as if privately.

Xia Bolong held Cai Xinrui with his left hand and Wang Qian with his right hand, but never moved. This time, Liang Hongyu did not come with him, but followed Han Shizhong to Pingxia City. Because during the Spring Festival, Xia Bolong betrothed Liang Hongyu to Han Shizhong and held a wedding for them at the celebration banquet. Although it was not very grand, it was very enviable. The couple got together like this.

When Xia Bolong opened his eyes, he saw Lu Fang and stood beside him, holding a bowl of hot soup in his hand, and said to Xia Bolong: "Sir, please try the fresh broth."

We inevitably encounter food problems on the way to a long journey, so before traveling, Xia Bolong prepared everything and did not forget to bring pots and pans.

Xia Bolong was confused and saw that Zhao Gou was already drinking with a bowl over there, he asked, "Where did the broth come from?"

Lu Fang said: "This morning, a wild boar was frozen to death by the roadside. I asked someone to boil the snow into water, then clean the wild boar with water, slaughter the wild boar, and stew it into delicious broth. Sir, drink it while it is hot!"

Xia Bolong looked around and asked, "Huh? Why are you the only one? What about Guo Sheng and the others?"

Lu Fang replied: "Sir, they all went to find a way. The snow covered the entire mountain. You must first find a way before you can rush."

Xia Bolong felt that what Lu Fang said was reasonable, so he said, "Well, what you said was reasonable."

He shook his two wives gently and shouted, "Wife, get up and have a soup!"

Cai Xinrui and Wang Qian woke up in a daze. Xia Bolong picked up his hands, took the broth that night, and said, "Thank you."

Lu Fang walked aside with a smile and went to continue serving the soup.

Xia Bolong put down the broth in his hand, walked outside the cave, grabbed a handful of clean snow, stuffed it into his mouth, and rubbed his teeth with his fingers, which was considered brushing his teeth. Then he picked up a handful of snow and rubbed his hands hard, which was considered washing his hands. After all, he turned around and just took a step, he heard a loud scream of "Oao--".

He only felt the ground behind him tremble for a moment. When he turned around, he saw a spotted tiger showing its cold fangs, making an attacking gesture and standing in front of him.

"Ah--Old... Tiger!" Xia Bolong approached a tiger so close for the first time in his life. And from the exposed fangs of the tiger, it was still a hungry tiger.

He was so scared that he ran into the cave and shouted, "There are tigers! There are tigers!"

He didn't care about his expression being disgraceful, and even less about his face. After entering the cave, he rushed directly behind Lu Fang, pointed to the tiger at the entrance of the cave and said, "Kill... Kill... Kill him!"

In the cave, all the female relatives hid behind Xia Bolong almost at the same time. Even Zhao Gou, who had always been brave, was so scared that he shivered. For them, this kind of beast had never seen it with his own eyes, let alone such close contact.

Lu Fang blocked Xia Bolong, picked up a Fang Tian Huaji, crossed the Fang Tian Huaji in front of his chest, and said loudly: "Sir, don't be afraid, if the last general is here, this big insect will not harm you!"

The tiger outside the cave sniffed into the cave, and suddenly roared to the sky, and the roar echoed in the cave, shocking the hearts of everyone except Lu Fang.

Lu Fang moved forward slowly, fearing that the tiger would pounce forward, so he aimed the head of Fang Tian Hua Ji's halberd outside.

"Ao—"

The tiger roared again, and the roars became louder and louder, shocking everything in the cave.

Lu Fang seized the opportunity and hurriedly pushed out a halberd. Unexpectedly, the tiger at the entrance of the cave reacted too quickly, and jumped backwards about a meter away. Lu Fang then went out of the cave, crossed Fang Tian's painting halberd, and roared: "Haha! With me, Lu Fang here, I, I, will never allow you to hurt you! Look at the halberd!"

The tiger seemed to understand Lu Fang's words and let out an inexplicable roar, as if mocking Lu Fang.

Lu Fang stabbed out his halberd and quickly followed the tiger. Unexpectedly, the tiger suddenly jumped up, and a white shadow cut out with a whizzing sound of breaking through the air, and actually jumped over Lu Fang's head.

"boom!"

The tiger landed heavily behind Lu Fang, and the tail behind him was then thrown out.

Lu Fang reacted quickly and hurriedly turned around and blocked with Fang Tian Hua Ji.

Unexpectedly, the tiger's tail was rolled up at the handle of Fang Tian Huaji. With a hard pull, it actually grabbed Fang Tian Huaji from Lu Fang's hand. Then it swung its tail and threw the Fang Tian Huaji on the snow on the side and penetrated into the thick snow.

Lu Fang, who had lost his weapon, was shocked. He never expected that the tiger would be so powerful, and he accidentally took off the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand. Before he could think too much, Lu Fan saw the tiger pounce forward, with his two front claws extremely sharp, and his hard fingertips seemed to be trying to lock Lu Fang on the snow.

"Does go!"

A shout suddenly came from somewhere, waking up the frightened Lu Fang. Lu Fang turned sideways and turned to the snow on one side, but on his back, the tiger's claws scratched his clothes, revealing several blood-red scars.

The tiger was not hit and wanted to turn its head and pounce again, but suddenly a bearded man jumped off the hillside. He was strong and fell directly behind the tiger. Before the tiger could react, he grabbed the tiger's tail with both hands.

You said that the tiger's butt could not be touched, but the bearded man made a taboo and was not afraid of the tiger's three-tie whip. He stood there, and turned his hand hard, circled the circle, and grabbed the tiger's tail and threw the tiger more than three feet away.

The tiger fell to the ground and did not get into the thick snow. He turned over and started fighting again.

"Hero, come into the cave, leave it to me to deal with it!" The bearded man opened his arms, bowed his body, stared at the tiger running quickly with bright eyes, without any fear.

Lu Fang climbed up from the snow and touched his lost Fang Tian Huaji. He wanted to fight the tiger again, but the blood marks behind him hurt slightly, so he had to throw Fang Tian Huaji into the air, and shouted: "Heroes receive the Huaji!"

Lu Fang was very close to the bearded man. The bearded man didn't even look at him. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Fang Tian Huaji, holding the handle of Fang Tian Huaji and waved it a few times!

Lu Fang dragged his wounded body and retreated to the cave. He didn't feel funny when he saw the way the bearded man held the halberd, but he couldn't laugh at this time because the tiger let out a loud roar, and his whole body rushed towards the bearded man, and at the same time opened his bloody mouth.

"Be careful, good man!" Seeing this, Xia Bolong was very worried and couldn't help but scream.
