The work of the teacher requires a lot of intelligence and clerical cooperation. Sometimes she will go to Zizhou to contact Ning Yi. Most of the time, Ning Yi is also busy. If she is free, the two of them will sit down and have a cup of tea and talk.

Most of them are jobs.

The fighting on the front line was extremely brutal. Many times, Shishi could detect what Ning Yi was hiding in his words. She had been doing this in the past. The brutality on the front line actually put a huge amount of pressure on Ning Yi. Ning Yi seemed calm.

During such a time, Shishi wanted to play a pipa or guzheng for him, but in fact, no such opportunity was found in the end. Men who focus on work and shoulder huge responsibilities are always fascinating. Sometimes this

Let Shishi think about emotional issues again. In this gap, her mind will think of the stories she heard in the past, the sacrifice of a woman when the general went to war, or the confession of good feelings... this and that.

But she didn't say it, not because she was no longer looking forward to these things. In the very small time gap about herself, she was still looking forward to stories about feelings. But when she came into contact with Ning Yi

At this moment, she suddenly realized that the woman's sacrifice when the general went out to fight was because for a woman, it was the greatest encouragement and help to him.

Now she has more practical things to do.

The number of troops in the Chinese Army has always been very tight. By the end of December, the largest wave of rebels appeared. This was not just a spontaneous rebellion, but more of it was actually premeditated by the Jurchens, including Wanyan Xiyin.

Manipulation and instigation, Xigua led the troops to pursue and suppress, and some of Zizhou's troops were also sent out. The division and division cooperated with the intelligence department to analyze several forces that might lobby for rebellion, and prepared to come forward to persuade them.

, give up resistance.

Shishi was involved in the analysis of these forces from beginning to end. Due to the higher risk, the Intelligence Department did not originally plan to let Shishi come forward in person, but Shishi still chose two families with Confucian scholars to be in charge. Her persuasion

The force that may be effective is placed on one's own shoulders.

On the third day of the first lunar month, she persuaded a large family that rebelled into the mountains to temporarily lay down their weapons and stop fighting against the Chinese army. For the success of this matter, she even made a promise to the other party on behalf of Ning Yi. Once the Jurchen soldiers retreated, Ning Yi

Yihui had a fair debate with the Confucian scholars of this family in front of the public.

After the matter was settled, the division commander went to Zizhou and reported to Ning Yi. It was already evening when he arrived in Zizhou. People came and went in the headquarters, and the horses reporting the news kept coming. This was a frontline battle.

It was a sign that the situation was urgent. Shishi saw Ning Yi who was busy from a distance. She left a summary and turned around to leave.

She hoped to save time and deal with the second family as quickly as possible, so the carriage left the city at night. Half an hour after leaving Zizhou, something unexpected happened.

The attack on the carriage came suddenly, and someone outside seemed to be shouting: "Tie up Ning Yi's concubine." The guards following the division started fighting with each other, but a good soldier from the other side got on the carriage and drove the carriage.

Rushing forward. The carriage bumped, Shishi opened the curtain on the window and took a look. After a moment, she made a decision and rushed out towards the front of the carriage.

This was a collision with all his strength. Shishi and the murderer who hijacked the carriage flew into the snow on the roadside. The murderer rolled and got up. Shishi also struggled to get up and jumped into the road.

In a stream with rapid water flow due to its narrow channel.

The river water in winter was freezing cold, and as soon as it became like water, Shishi felt his heart suddenly tighten and his head felt dizzy. The river flowed rapidly downwards, and when it reached a corner, Shishi's body hit a stone.

, she woke up again for a moment and struggled hard. She struggled to move ashore on a river beach full of pebbles. Her body no longer felt like her own, and her mind wanted to stop here.

But she didn't stop. For an unknown period of time, it was as if something that was not her own was controlling her. She had seen disabled soldiers in the camp of the Chinese Army, and she had seen disabled soldiers in the camp of the wounded soldiers.

She experienced extremely bloody scenes. Sometimes Liu Xigua walked up to her with a big knife on his back, and the poor child starved to death on the roadside, giving off a putrid smell... These things just flashed through her mind mechanically, and her body also mechanically moved in the river.

I looked for firewood and kindling beside the bed.

A sunken stone wall beside the river bed saved her life. She found some dead branches, broke some firewood, took out flint and started a fire with trembling hands... She took off her clothes and put it on the fire.

She was baked to dry, and the mountain wind whined away at night. It was not until dawn that the Chinese soldiers who searched back and forth twice found her in the blind spot of the field of vision.

She was carried to the wounded barracks, checked, and rested. The wind and cold had come, and she had to rest. There was a letter from Xigua, telling her to have a good life. She also knew from what others said, and later Ning Yi heard

He told the news that she had been attacked and sent a small team of soldiers to look for her under very urgent circumstances.

This was supposed to be the closest to death in her life and the most worth talking about, but when she thought about it after she recovered from the injury, she didn't think it was anything. In the past year and several years of running around, dealing with Xigua and others

, which made Shishi's physique become very good. In mid-January, she recovered from her injuries and went to Zizhou again. Ning Yi met her and asked about what happened that night, but Shishi just shook his head and said: "It's nothing."

.”

She contacted Xigua and the Intelligence Department again, and returned to the work she was responsible for.

Participating in the entire huge and complex work of the Chinese Army, sometimes the division commander can feel that a vague plan is advancing invisibly. Every time there are fewer problems on the Chengdu Plain, there will be more.

A little bit of manpower was put into the Zizhou front line.

Entering late February, the work on the rear no longer seemed as difficult as before. The division division followed a group of soldiers to Zizhou. When they arrived in Zizhou, it was the morning of February 23, and the city of Zizhou was as usual.

Martial law, solemn killing. Since Ning Yi was not free for a while, she first went to the wounded barracks to visit a medical officer with whom she had known each other before. The other party suddenly realized: "You came here too, so you said there was a big move..."

"What?"

"...You don't know?" The other party was stunned, "Forget it, just take your time and see for yourself."

If you stay in the army for a long time, you will encounter some secrets, but there are also some things that you can detect if you look carefully. After leaving the wounded barracks, the division commander noticed signs of the army gathering in the city, and then learned some other things.

In the afternoon, she had finished communicating with the Intelligence Department and the General Staff, and saw Ning Yi coming in military uniform. The leading troops were passing by on the street outside.

"They said you're here, come and take a look. Have you encountered any danger recently?"

"...You want to go to the battlefield?"

"Zong Han is very close. It's time to go and meet him for a while."

"A decisive battle... outside? They said... it's not good. We have few people."

The teachers racked their brains, recalling the military news they had heard in the past period. Before this, no one actually thought that this battle would be fought in front of Zizhou City. Ning Yi wanted to invest all his troops.

Went in...

"In war, only unexpected plans are effective. Don't worry, I have been on the front line for Xiaocanghe for a long time." Ning Yi smiled, "I will kill you with my own hands no matter what."

"I have always felt that you are the best at writing poems..." As she spoke, she felt that her words did not convey her meaning, and she was about to burst into tears. At this moment, she felt that the general's lover's devotion to sacrifice before the expedition was more powerful than her words.

It feels much better.

"Haha, poetry..." Ning Yi smiled, but the teacher couldn't understand the meaning of this smile. The silence between the two lasted for a moment, and Ning Yi nodded: "Then... let's go first, yes

It’s time to teach them a lesson.”

"Ning Liheng... Liheng." Shishi called him. She always had a big forehead, but a very elegant appearance. At this time, her eyes were wide open, and many thoughts seemed to be reflected in her eyes.

Concerned with the essence, fear, anxiety, complexity, and anxiety that she couldn't express what she meant... Her lips trembled a few times.

"Well... I... if you... die on the battlefield, you... Hey, don't you have anything to say to me? You... I know you all have to write a suicide note when you go to the battlefield, and give it to your family.

You wrote them all...I don't mean, that...I mean...your suicide notes are all for your family. We have known each other for so many years. If you die...don't you have anything to say to me?

?I, we have known each other for so many years..."

She couldn't find a better way to express it. When she said this, tears flowed down. She could only turn her head, one hand firmly grasped the skirt on her thigh, and the other hand rested on the table next to her.

He only bent his knees slightly without squatting down. Tears fell down.

Ning Yi looked at her with complicated eyes, and tapped his fingers unconsciously on his legs. After a long time, he said: "If I can come back... let's discuss this matter again, okay?"

After a while, I wanted to turn around, but felt that these words were a bit unlucky, so I reached out and knocked on the table: "Don't worry...it's such a big deal...I will definitely come back."

Just like that, he turned around and left.

This was February 23rd in Master Li's memory. At least at that moment, the future was uncertain, and the waves of fate rolled here, creating a tragic atmosphere like the rustling wind and the cold water.

At this moment, all the resistance faced by Southwest, the world, including the Jurchens who have conquered the world for thirty years, are about to come to an end. If they fail, it will be the end of the world.

When the division commander came out of the room, a small number of soldiers compared to the entire battlefield were walking through the city gate in the thin daylight.

Due to the paint, the momentum in the painting is not full. This is early spring when everything looks pale.

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

In the first year of Wu Zhenxing, in the spring of the fifteenth year of Jin Tianhui, it was February 23rd.

In the mountains of the southwest, several armies under the command of Ba Lisu, Wanyan Saba, Dalai, and Wanyan Xiebao who participated in the Southern Expedition suddenly launched a large-scale interspersed advance upon mutual agreement in an attempt to break through.

The war situation became chaotic due to the terrain amid the desperate resistance of the Chinese army.

At the same time as the interlude unfolded, the Chinese Army headquarters in front of Zizhou responded, concentrating its troops to conduct a large-scale segmentation and interception against the Jurchens' weak troops moving forward, trying to prevent the Jurchens' strong troops from reacting.

After swallowing a certain amount of victory, the two sides fought for a day.

From the night of February 23rd to the morning of February 24th, a message was sent from Zizhou. After passing through various routes, it was successively spread to the main camps of the Jurchens on the front line. This news

The news even interfered with the subsequent response attitude adopted by various Jurchen armies to a certain extent. In Dalai and Saba Division, they chose a conservative defense, and the troops of Wanyan Xiebao's Revenge Army chose to defend conservatively.

He suddenly accelerated his speed and pushed forward crazily, trying to break through the Leigang and Brown River lines in the shortest possible time.

On February 23rd, Ning Yi personally led more than 6,000 elite troops and stepped out of the gate of Zizhou City.
