Liu Bei was very confused and did not understand the meaning of Deng Mu's words at all.

But thinking that Deng Mu had always been very smart, since he dared to make such a bold statement, he must have a perfect plan.

At that moment, Liu Bei put aside his doubts and told the soldiers not to panic and wait for the arrival of the winter clothes Deng Mu mentioned.

Of course, Liu Bei could not let the soldiers suffer in vain.

There were many forests near Fufeng City. Liu Bei sent more than a thousand soldiers to cut wood for firewood overnight and asked the soldiers to make a fire to keep warm to resist the severe cold.

So.

More than 200,000 Han soldiers were completely stranded. Everyone was shivering in the tent, warming themselves around the blazing fire.

However, relying on firewood for warmth was obviously not enough.

Two hundred thousand soldiers, the daily consumption of firewood is an astronomical figure, even if they cut trees day and night, they can't keep up.

Two days later, the firewood supply began to run out, and it was getting colder outside.

It seemed that the soldiers were about to collapse.

Inside the big tent.

Liu Bei was pacing back and forth, worrying about this matter.

Only Deng Mu, with a calm expression, just drank one cup after another of boiled wine to keep warm.

"Military Advisor, didn't you say that within two days, there will be enough winter clothes delivered?"

"These two days have passed, you see——"

Liu Bei didn't finish his words.

Chen Dao suddenly rushed in and shouted excitedly:

"Your Majesty, clothes, winter clothes, our winter clothes have arrived!"

Liu Bei was shocked, and the worry on his face was replaced by endless surprise in an instant.

Deng Mu put down his wine glass, smiled and stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, most of the winter clothes transported by the soldiers have arrived, let's go to welcome them."

At that moment.

Liu Bei and Deng Mu went out of the tent and headed towards the east camp gate.

When they arrived at the camp gate, Liu Bei's face was full of joy.

Hundreds of carriages were seen stepping on the snow and driving into the camp continuously.

The soldiers who were shivering with cold were scrambling to unload the winter clothes on the carriages.

Hundreds of carriages were loaded with more than 300,000 winter clothes, enough for the soldiers.

"Your Majesty, I am here on the order of the Prime Minister to deliver winter clothes from Chang'an. I am reporting to Your Majesty."

Deng Ai stepped forward and bowed.

Liu Bei was stunned again, and said in surprise: (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

"Shi Zai, how come there are so many winter clothes in Chang'an City?"

Deng Ai stood up and said with a smile:

"Chang'an City naturally doesn't have so many winter clothes. My brother had foresight and knew that the temperature in Guanzhong was lower than that in the east of Tongguan, and it could drop at any time."

"So before leaving, my brother asked me to rush to make this batch of winter clothes in case of emergency."

"When the temperature showed signs of a sudden drop the day before yesterday, my brother sent someone to inform me in advance and asked me to deliver the winter clothes to the Fufeng front in advance."

"I traveled day and night and was supposed to arrive the day before yesterday, but a heavy snowstorm hit the road and made it difficult to travel, so I was delayed for a few days."

"Your Majesty, I am not late, am I?"

Deng Ai told the whole story with a smile.

Liu Bei understood it completely.

It turned out that Deng Mu had foresight and had expected the temperature to drop suddenly in the past few days, so he asked Deng Ai to prepare winter wardrobes in advance.

Moreover, he had asked Deng Ai to transport it from Chang'an City to here long before the temperature dropped.

He was so predictable and far-sighted, he was really like a god!

Liu Bei finally understood why Deng Mu was so calm and confident when the temperature dropped that day.

After understanding all this, Liu Bei couldn't help but bow to Deng Mu and exclaimed:

"Prime Minister, you are really a god!" []
