As February approaches, rain begins to fall on the Chengdu Plain, and spring has begun to show its signs.

In a small village located in the southwest of Jiading, after a burst of spring rain, the roads to and from it looked muddy. The small village named Zhangcun originally had a small population. When the Chinese army came out of Liangshan last year, the Wu Dynasty army was defeated one after another. A group of people were in the village.

After the looting, a fire was set off, and it became a deserted village. At the end of the year, the Chinese army's institutions were gradually relocated. Many of the institutions are still under construction. After the spring, the crowds gathered in this small riverside village.

It makes it particularly lively.

"I want to build an arch... like that in the courtyard..."

The sound of breast milk sounded in the yard. This was the sound made by a little girl who had just been to a big city and was playing in the mud in a corner of the yard. People came in and out of the rectangular yard from time to time, just when the little girl's crooked arch was about to take shape.

, a group of people laughed in the room next to it, and someone was saying: "An extra dish for lunch."

The little girl raised her head and glanced. She might not be very interested in adding dishes, but she turned around and gathered the mud at hand to start making dishes that only she could understand.

This is the yard that belongs to the current General Staff Headquarters of the Chinese Army. Most of the newly built buildings nearby are supporting office spaces. Under the control of Ning Yi himself, most of the "conspiracies" of the Chinese Army are usually brewed here. After the beginning of spring,

, the work of the staff department has become busy, mainly because it has begun to arrange the work details for the new year, but information from the outside world is also coming day by day.

On the twenty-first day of the first lunar month, the news of the success of the Northland Alliance came, which made everyone quite happy. The strength that they thought would be vulnerable was twisted into a rope at this time, enough to give Zong Han and Xi Yin's team

It caused a big trouble. In addition, at the beginning of the first year of the first lunar month, there was a story about Zhu Biao's sneak attack on the train but was discovered. Everyone looked at it and found it interesting.

When the meeting took a break, Peng Yueyun walked out of the room, took a deep breath under the eaves, and felt relaxed and happy.

He is twenty-four years old this year and is from the northwest. His father Peng Du was originally a general under Zhong Lie. During the Northwest War, the Jurchens came fiercely. Zhong Lie led his army to guard Yanzhou and refused to retreat or surrender. In the end, he was dismissed because the city was destroyed.

Peng Yueyun's father also died in that war. Most of the descendants of the Zhong family, even high-ranking disciples like Peng Yueyun, had been entrusted to the Chinese army by Zhong Lie before this, so they were able to be preserved.

.

Peng Yueyun was eighteen years old when his father died, and he vowed to join the army to massacre the Jurchens. This was because he did not fail to resign, and he was beheaded by Ning Yi at the head of Yanzhou City shortly after. When the Chinese army was reorganized in Liangshan, Peng Yueyun had been tortured since he was a child.

Education, flexible mind, careful mind, and no problem with loyalty, he was eventually recruited to work in the staff department.

At first, young people naturally yearned for the front line, but soon they found that the work of the General Staff seemed more interesting. In the past few years, they worked on small things, first participating in transactions and transportation issues with several separatist warlords, and later on a major event

, even after killing Tian Hu, the business dealings with new forces, the specific affairs of supporting the Jin Clan in terms of armaments and armed forces, this matter will eventually lead to the confrontation between the Jin Clan and the Jurchens, giving Wanyan Zonghan's team, which is now almost the best in the world,

A strong military force causes trouble.

After ten years of rebellion and several years of direct bloody battles with the Jurchens, this experience has made the atmosphere in the Chinese army quite iron-blooded. Not many people in the Chinese army take a fancy to the power of King Jin. Mr. Ning can dominate the world.

Playing around with these forces on the chessboard is where everyone's sense of involvement lies. Therefore, people within the General Staff do not have high expectations for how much return this investment can reap.

It was only when Zhan Wu came through this time that he conveyed the fairly good anti-gold situation in Jin, that the return on this investment was demonstrated. As for the determination of Tian Shi, Yu Yulin and others within the Jin clique, everyone probably had a lot of doubts.

There was a sense of recognition to some extent, although the strength was still insufficient, but such determination was enough for everyone in the General Staff to give the other party some respect.

Peng Yueyun also had a huge sense of accomplishment in his heart. When the Northwest resisted the Jin Dynasty, Marshal Zhong and his father died with the city, and the iron-blooded majesty was still in front of him. In the past few years, he finally participated in it. Since the Liangshan female fall,

Several successive actions by the Chinese army promoted the overthrow and transformation of Tian Hu's forces, and captured Tian Hu in the Central Plains.

Liu Yu pushed the entire anti-golden situation forward, and last year he jumped out of Liangshan to attack Chengdu. At this time, the forces of the Jin Dynasty finally became the backbone of the anti-golden forces in the Central Plains. Waiting for such extraordinary heroes as Wanyan Zonghan and Xi Yin

A nail has been hammered in front of you. Those who are in it will naturally feel the pride of swallowing up the world.

He took a few deep breaths under the eaves. Qu Qing, who is now his boss and also his teacher, came out and patted him on the shoulder: "What's wrong? Are you in a good mood?"

"How honored you are." Peng Yueyun smiled, but his answer seemed low-key.

Qu Qing also smiled: "Don't underestimate the enemy. The fate of the Jurchens lies in the whole generation of heroes twenty years ago. After Aguda was killed, Wu Qimai suffered a stroke, followed by Zong Han, Xi Yin, and several generals under his command.

, they are also veteran generals who have been in the military for a long time. Shu Liesu saw Zhu Biao and did not attack in the end. It shows that he is more troublesome than expected. Based on the current situation, let's make more efforts."

"Teacher, don't you allow us young people to be a little happy?" Peng Yueyun joked.

"Tighten up." Qu Qing smiled, but there was already a serious light in his eyes, "On the battlefield, tighten up at any time, don't relax."

Qu Qing used to be a veteran general of the Wu Dynasty. He had experienced both success and failure. His experience was valuable. He said this at this time. Peng Yueyun also became solemn. When he really wanted to speak, a figure rushed into the courtyard gate and directed towards this person.

Bian came over.

It was a piece of urgent information, and it was sent directly to Ning Yi, who was talking to someone in the room. Ning Yi opened the letter and looked at it a few times. His originally happy expression had completely changed.

Gotta get serious.

Southwest and Jin are nearly three thousand miles apart. The long distance affects the timeliness of the news. In some cases, it makes the incoming intelligence dramatic enough. The second Jin is less than an hour apart.

The arrival of the news from the ground broke everyone's joy. The Chinese army's Luozi, who was three thousand miles away, was knocked over by a wave of hands in front of Wanyan Xiyin.

*************

The fourth day of February, Wei Sheng.

The light rain that had fallen the day before had turned into thin ice on the road in the early morning. In and around Weisheng City, which had already been under martial law, troops from all sides were suddenly mobilized. The atmosphere was solemn and tense, large and small.

Frictions appeared in all aspects of the city. The encounters between the commanders of the city defense army became somewhat smoky. Among the troops guarding the palace city, most of the soldiers seemed uneasy.

Throughout the city, gangsters took to the streets one after another under the action of unknown forces, and then wandered around teahouses and restaurants, encountering local snakes on the opposite street. In the green forest, there were also people of different affiliations.

They gathered together and headed in the direction of Tianji Palace. In the altar of the Great Light Sect, the monks' morning classes seemed to be as usual, but the altar leaders and protectors were also hidden under the appearance of observing the nose, nose and heart.

There seems to be no murderous aura.

The power grab under the surface, various fightings and murders, had been happening all over the city since the day King Jin died. By this day, it had calmed down a little.

Yuan Xiaoqiu was running under the eaves of Tianji Palace and saw that in a hall not far away, the maids coming and going had already set up tables and chairs. She went in and checked the inside and outside with vigilant eyes, and then ran back

Go to the other side of Tianji Palace and check out the meals being prepared in the kitchen.

Yuan Xiaoqiu, who has a relatively free-spirited temperament, is Lou Shuwan's maid, and her brother Yuan Xiaolei is the commander of Lou Shuwan's personal guards. In a sense, both of them can be regarded as the confidants of the female Prime Minister.

However, because Yuan Xiaoqiu is young and has a relatively simple mind, she is usually only responsible for simple things such as Lou Shuwan's food, clothing, and daily life.

On this day, Yuan Xiaoqiu's heart was filled with anger.

Ever since the elders in the family lost power and were killed in the political struggle, their brother and sister were rescued by Lou Shuwan. Thanks to each other's kindness, Yuan Xiaoqiu has always been a "brainless fan" of the female prime minister. Especially later, when he saw the female prime minister develop various developments with his own eyes

After countless things happened to the economy and people's livelihood, this mentality became more firm.

For the sake of the righteousness of his family and country, he resolutely resisted the Jin Dynasty, but he was slandered by countless people and was assassinated repeatedly in the past six months. Yuan Xiaoqiu felt unfair for Lou Shuwan in his heart, and in the past few days, the injustice turned into huge grief and indignation. A group of so-called "adults"

"In order to fight for power and protect themselves, they behaved in ugly ways, but the female prime minister who truly serves the country and the people was faced with such confrontation. These bad guys should all die!"

Yuan Xiaoqiu, who was responsible for Lou Shuwan's daily life, could sense the difficulty of the problem from many aspects: the few words spoken by others, the determined look in his brother's eyes when he was polishing his spear every day, the various unusual frictions in the palace, and even her.

Some things I know are that in the past few days, the female prime minister has been wrapped in a quilt and sitting in the dark every night without actually falling asleep. When dawn comes, she has returned to her strong and decisive look every day.

And these bad guys, who want to surrender to the enemy to save their lives, actually want to come and negotiate openly!

They are dead! The female prime minister will never let them go!

This is what Yuan Xiaoqiu feels in her heart. Yuan Xiaoqiu has accumulated enough confidence from the many confrontations between female prime ministers and others in the past. Everyone who wants to fight against female prime ministers ends up falling in a pool of blood. Among them are

That arrogant Tiger King Tian Hu who killed his father. Now these people come to bully him again and want to negotiate. With the character of the female prime minister, they may die here today!

By the way, there is also the terrifying Black Flag Army that killed the emperor. They are also standing behind the female prime minister.

Even the emperor dares to kill, these people who came today will all die!

Yuan Xiaoqiu thought so in her heart that when she ran all the way and saw Zhan Wu who came in from outside the palace first, she couldn't help but run up and salute.

"Master Zhan Wu, you must not let those damn bad guys off today!"

Yuan Xiaoqiu, who was used to seeing Lou Shuwan kill people, spoke innocently. Zhan Wu smiled like an old farmer and nodded kindly: "Little girl... it would be great to be so happy all the time."

Yuan Xiaoqiu nodded, then blinked, wondering if the other party had promised her.

Following Zhan Wu was a tall and burly man with a somewhat dark face and a vicissitudes of life and steady eyes. At first glance, he looked like a very difficult character to mess with. Yuan Xiaoqiu was sensible and did not ask the other party's identity. After she left,

Zhan Wucai said: "This is the maid who serves Miss Lou. She has an interesting personality...Shi Yingxiong, please."

Zhan Wu is now on Lou Shuwan's side. He invited Shi Jin to enter the palace in advance to arrange the arrangements today. After early morning, groups of people came from far away in the city. With Tang Shun of the Tang family,

Liao Yiren of the Liao family, the leaders of various forces in Jin,

Or the spokespersons, representatives of all parties who participated in the alliance, the military advisor under the thief Ji Qingli, Lin Zongwu from the Great Guangming Sect, An Xifu, a confidant under Wang Juyun, and Zhu Biao from the Chinese army who finally arrived, in this cold weather,

Gathered towards Tianji Palace.

More than ten years ago, the world was in chaos, and the Wu Dynasty could no longer take care of the north bank of the Yellow River. With the protection of the Jurchens, Tian Hu's power expanded crazily. Various forces and families in the Jin area took refuge in the Tiger King. Even after repeated political struggles,

Today, King Jin's power is still composed of small groups relying on families. During Tian Zhi's time, these groups were able to be suppressed, but now, people's confidence in Jin has dropped to a low ebb, and many people

I have stood up and found a direction for my future.

In such a complicated situation, there are also forces such as the Great Light Sect and Ji Qingli who all have their own ideas, as well as Wang Juyun, who is determined to resist the Jin Dynasty, but his attitude is not clear at the moment. Relatively speaking, only the black flag

The alliance between the army and Lou Shuwan is fairly strong.

There was a charcoal fire burning in the bronze cauldron near the main hall. Throughout the main hall, the masters from each family were on guard against each other. Shi Jin chose his position next to Lou Shuwan. As soon as Zhu Biao entered the main hall, he stared at him.

Lin Zongwu, who got up and was sitting at the end of the room with Lou Shuwan, chose the seat between them.

He was brave and fearless when he was young. Now after ten years of fighting in battle, even though Lin Zongwu is famous as the best in the world, he does not have the slightest fear in his heart. Once Lin Zongwu takes the wrong side, he will

Be prepared to fight with the opponent at any time.

As another leader of the Chinese army, Zhan Wu sat alone on the side of the hall, like a follower of a certain force, with his hands clasped and his eyes closed, and everyone may be more afraid of him. Black Flag has a notorious reputation, and with the female

There is absolutely no possibility for the real person to seek peace. Everyone came here today. Although all the forces in the city have been mobilized, no one knows whether the Black Flag Army will suddenly go berserk and massacre everyone in front of them.
