The eleventh year of Wu Jianshuo, the first day of the first lunar month.

The sound of firecrackers set off a joyful atmosphere on the Chengdu Plain. Zhangcun, a place dominated by soldiers and military families, welcomed the arrival of the New Year in a lively and orderly atmosphere. After the New Year's Eve party, there was a lively dinner. On the first day of the New Year, we visited each other and congratulated each other. Every household had the red word "Fu" and the children were asking for New Year's money everywhere. The firecrackers and laughter continued.

Carrying a large bag, Zhuo Yongqing and his sisters He Ying and He Xiu started visiting each other from the morning. At night, Qu Qing, Mao Yishan, Hou Wu and others brought their families with them. This was the first New Year's Day, and they made an appointment to settle the matter at Zhuo Yongqing's home. In October last year, he got married. He not only married his sister He Ying and his sister He Xiu, but also married his sister He Ying and He Xiu. Ning Yi's marriage for their leader, and the group of people laughed at this guy and enjoyed the blessing of the whole family.

In the past year, there is a story of sadness or joy between Zhuo Yongqing and his fierce sister He Ying. There is no need to talk about it at this time. War will disrupt many things. Even in the place where the Chinese army gathered, the styles of the soldiers are different. Some are like Xue Changgong who consciously loses their days in the war and is unwilling to marry. There are also people who take care of the women around them and unconsciously get together one after another.

Zhuo Yongqing's life was smooth and happy. The lame woman He Xiu was in poor health and weak temperament. She couldn't support half of the home in complicated times. Her sister He Ying had a strong personality, but she was considered an excellent hostess. She used to be bad at Zhuo Yongqing, and she called her to drink and then she naturally stopped like this after getting married. Zhuo Yongqing had no family. After getting married, she lived with He Ying and He Xiu's weak mother and took care of her nearby. When the New Year came, he saved the trouble of running around. That day, he called a group of brothers and family to celebrate together, which was very lively.

After the lively banquet, the woman packed up the dishes, the man moved the tables and chairs, and Mao Yishan's children ran out to find other playmates. Zhuo Yongqing, Qu Qing, Hou Wu, Mao Yishan, Hou Yuanyong and others sat in the yard drinking and chatting. They were only dispersed when it was late at night.

Qu Qing was the last one to leave. When he left, he looked at him meaningfully, and Zhuo Yongqing smiled and nodded at him.

After seeing them off, Zhuo Yongqing returned to the yard and moved the table and chairs into the room. He Ying and He Xiu also came to help. After these things were finished, Zhuo Yongqing sat down on the stool in the room. He was straight, holding his hands in his hands, thinking about something. Innocent He Xiu walked in, and was still talking. Seeing his expression, he was a little confused. Then He Ying came in. She looked at Zhuo Yongqing, wiped the water droplets on her hands, pulled her sister, and sat down beside him.

"What, what's wrong?"

"I have something to tell you." Zhuo Yongqing looked at them, "I'm going to go to war."

The woman was stunned suddenly, He Ying swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and her throat suddenly became so dry that she couldn't speak.

In recent days, the situation outside has been tense. The tasks of the Chinese Army Center in Zhangcun have become worse and the atmosphere has changed. Most of the families living here are aware of it. By the end of the year, the families, the army, and even the central departments of the Chinese Army have regarded Zhou Yong's affairs as a joke, but the development of the entire situation is becoming more and more tense and imminent.

But no one expected that the battle was about to go to the fortress now...

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

For the central department of the Chinese Army, the whole situation suddenly became tense, and the high-speed operation of each department began on December 28th.

The high-level meeting chaired by Ning Yi determined several important policies, and then the meetings and discussions of various departments. On the night of the 28th, the entire Zhang Village operated almost all night. Even people who had not entered the decision-making level could more or less understand that something was about to happen.

In the past two years, the Chinese army has been doing wind and rain in the southwest, doing all kinds of things in a colorful way. It has escaped the embarrassment of the past few years. The atmosphere in the entire army is mostly optimistic. The feeling of arrows on the string is tense and exciting. Some people can even vaguely guess some clues. Out of strict confidentiality regulations, everyone cannot discuss this, but even when walking on the street, they look at each other and smile, it seems to contain some kind of storm.

Obviously, the top team of the Chinese Army led by Ning Yi has decided to do something.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Zhuo Yongqing sat down outside the already familiar yard, straight, with fists clenched, and someone was waiting on the stool next to him. The man was thin but firm. He was the head of the Chinese Army to Qian Zhiqiang, the deputy minister of Wuchao commerce. Both sides had greeted him and did not speak at this time.

Not long after, someone came out. It was a fat monk with a round body and a smile. He glanced at the two of them and went out with a smile. The monk didn't show up in Zhangcun, and many people might not know him, but Zhuo Yongqing knew the identity of the other party. The monk should be considered a subordinate of Qian Zhiqiang. He traveled outside for a long time. Yu Wuchao matched the Chinese army's commercial activities. Feng Zhen, the bandit name of the Jianghu "Honest Monk", is a free broker who walks in black and white but does not belong to either party. Since he has not died for so many years, it can be seen that his martial arts are also quite good.

After the monk left, Qian Zhiqiang went in. Not long after, the other party came out and smiled at Zhuo Yongqing. Zhuo Yongqing entered the yard. It was still morning. Ning Yi was busy in the study. When Zhuo Yongqing came in, he put down his work and poured him a cup of tea. Then he looked serious and straight to the point.

"We cannot ignore the situation in the Wu Dynasty in recent times. We have made some decisions in the past two days and have to take action. Of course, we have not announced it yet." He said, "There is something about you. I think we should talk to you in advance, and you can refuse."

Zhuo Yongqing stood up: "I am willing to obey all arrangements in the organization."

"Sit down." Ning Yi waved his hand, "The entire task will be announced one after another in the first and second grades of the junior high school. Since it is a task, it is not allowed to easily shirk it. However, if there is reason to have difficulties, other people can of course apply, which can allow you to advance and indicate that the situation you are facing is different."

Zhuo Yongqing sat down and Ning Yi continued.

"After the Xiao Canghe War, we moved to the southwest and occupied the Chengdu Plain last year. You know the whole situation, so you don't need to explain in detail. The Jurchens invaded the south will inevitably have a great war. Now it seems that it is quite difficult for the Wu Dynasty to support it. The Jurchens are more determined and have more means than they imagined. If we sit and watch the Wu Dynasty collapse early, we will fall into a huge passive next, so we must do our best to help."

"First of all, the most direct dispatch of troops is not a feasible choice. We have just taken the Chengdu Plain. From last year to this year, we have expanded our troops to nearly 20,000, but not many of them can be divided. Miaojiang and Dayang have even fewer troops. If we want to force the expedition, we have to face the danger of collapse in the rear, and the soldiers' families will die here. On the other hand, we have issued a manifesto before, taking the initiative to give up the confrontation with the Wu Dynasty and pushing the army east and north. The first thing we face is the Wu Dynasty's counterattack. At this time, there is no point in fighting. Even if people are willing to use the way to push our only tens of thousands of people forward a thousand miles to their millions of troops, I guess the Jurchens and Wu Dynasty will choose to eat us as soon as possible."

"If we don't have a large-scale army, we have only another option. We decided to send a certain number of people to assist in special operations and beheading operations, enter the territory of the Wu Dynasty first, and fight against those traitor forces who are preparing to connect, interact with the Jurchens and turn against the Jurchens in advance. Anyone who surrenders to the Jurchens will be killed."

Ning Yi's words were simple and calm, but Zhuo Yongqing's heart was shocked. This was the message conveyed by Mr. Ning from the southwest. It can be imagined how people in the world will be vibrated.

"Zhou Yong made several chess moves. We cannot accept his words. We cannot make the Wu Dynasty think that Zhou Yong has reconciled with us. Otherwise, the Wu Dynasty will collapse faster. We can only choose to make our voices in the most efficient way. Even if our Chinese army forgives our enemies, we will never let go of the traitor who turned against us at this time. We hope that in this form, we can stabilize the situation and seize the vitality of the front line for the prince of the Wu Dynasty who is still resisting."

"This matter is quite dangerous. It may calm some people who are swaying and make the forces that have turned against each other even more extreme. Some people who have already been stationed in the Wu Dynasty in the Jin Dynasty will also move and block you." Ning Yi waved his hand and said, "Of course, this is best, then fight and clean them up."

"...These teams currently planned to go to the battle are both open and secret. The reason why you are considering you is because of your special identity. You killed Wanyan Loushi and are a hero against the Jurchens. We... plan to put your team on the surface and say what we want to say dignifiedly, but at the same time they will stare at you like flies. So you are also the most dangerous... Considering that you got married two months ago and are going to take on such a dangerous task, I allow you to refuse."

Zhuo Yongqing stood up subconsciously, Ning Yi waved his hand, without looking at him: "Don't be impulsive, don't answer for the time being, think solemnly after going back. Let's go."

"...Yes." Zhuo Yongqing saluted and left. When he left the room, he looked back. Mr. Ning sat on the stool and did not send him. He raised his hand to drink tea, and his eyes did not look here. This was different from Ning Yi he usually saw. Zhuo Yongqing understood in his heart. Mr. Ning probably thought it was a bad thing to send himself to the most dangerous position, and he was not having a good time in his heart.

Thinking of this, he saluted another outside the door. After leaving the yard, he walked to the street entrance, Qu Qing came from the side, greeted him, and walked with him for a while. Qu Qing, who was working in the senior management of the General Staff, had a look of something wrong at this time, and Zhuo Yongqing was waiting for him to speak.

"It is my suggestion to join you in the team that you are out." Qu Qing said.

Zhuo Yongqing nodded: "With bait, you can fish. Brother Qu's proposal is very good."

"You have been married for only two months..."

"One day of marriage, we must go to war when it is time to go to war. Isn't that what we are in the army?" Zhuo Yongqing smiled over Qu Qing.

"However, this matter is different from going to war. When going to war, everyone takes the same danger. In this matter, if you go out, you will become the biggest target. Although we have many plans, it is still difficult to ensure that there is no accident."

The two walked forward, Zhuo Yongqing just smiled and didn't say anything. When he arrived at the intersection of the General Staff, Qu Qing stopped and then said: "I have already suggested to Mr. Ning that he will be responsible for a team going out this time. If you decide to accept the task, I will walk with you."

He smiled and turned toward the direction of work. After taking a few steps, Zhuo Yongqing spoke behind his back: "Brother Qu."

"Um?"

Zhuo Yongqing walked over and walked to the side of the road with him: "You know, I have always been worried about it all these years."

"……What?"

"You know and I know it. It was just a lucky chance. At that time, I was just a recruit who was on the battlefield and couldn't even wave his sword. Killing Lou Shi was because I fell and took off my hand... In that battle, there were so many brothers, and you and me, Brother Hou Wu, Brother Mao's brother, Brother Luo Yeluo. To be honest, you are all much better than me, but the credit for killing Lou Shi fell on me."

He looked at Qu Qing: "In the past few years, because of this inexplicable contribution, I was promoted in the army. Mr. Ning met me, and many people also met me, saying that Zhuo Yongqing is so powerful. If there is any such thing as a powerful person, I can't rush to the front after going to the battlefield - of course I don't want to die, but many times I feel that I am not a soldier worthy of the title of the Chinese Army. I just happened to be introduced as a brand."

He smiled and said, "If you are in Wuchao, you can get the benefits as a sign, but because in the Chinese army, you see so many heroes, see Brother Mao, see Brother Luo, see you and Brother Hou, and look at Mr. Ning, I want to become that kind of person... When Mr. Ning told me, I was a little scared, but now I understand that this is what I have been waiting for."

Zhuo Yongqing paused, and then smiled narrowly but brightly: "Look at you, except for Brother Luo, who is crazy, they all look crooked, which means that the Chinese army will go out and speak to the whole world. Of course, it is a task that only a handsome and beautiful person like me can afford.

“…so, I plan to go.”

...

“…So, I’m going to go to war.”

The same words were spoken to different people, and they had different moods. For some people, Zhuo Yongqing felt that even if he did it countless times, he might not be able to find a perfect tone that matched them.

The night when we confessed to our wife, the family hugged each other and said a lot of things. Who cried and of course smiled. In the next day or two, the same scene might have to happen many times in the homes of Chinese soldiers. There is no end to the words. Before going to the war, they each left what they wanted to say the most and kept the troops in the form of suicide notes.

Ning Yi, Qin Shaoqian and others took turns to meet the leaders of different teams and the members who participated. They each had different destinations and different tasks.

"Du Sha, Fang Shuchang... led the team to Xiangfan and lobby He Jiayou anyway, and eliminated the Jurchen spies who have been found now..."

"Ren Suli... led the team to Changsha area, cooperated with the eyeliner installed by Chen Fan, and waited for an opportunity to assassinate the 13 people on this list. If confirmed, it can be handled at the discretion of the list..."

"Ji Yuanjing... Two hundred people went to Jiange to discuss matters with the garrison Si Zhongxian. In addition, we will have a detailed discussion with the local Chen family in my name..."

"Feng Zhen, Luo Xiguang led the team to support Zhuo Yongqing's team's actions, lurked himself, and pay close attention to all clues outside. At the same time, the three tribes on the list, with 118 males marked, can be killed..."

"Ling Zhiguang led the team to Lin'an..."

"Xiao Hei, Yuwen Feidu, you have to contact an old man who shouldn't have contacted anymore..."

"Should wait..."

"Luo Zifu..."

"... Let those who have fallen into the battle know that there are people in this world standing with them..."

"...We must launch the Green Forest, mobilize the grassland, mobilize all those who cannot avoid this war, and mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized..."

"...We must block the way out of those who are swaying, analyze them well, and talk to them..."

"... Let those who have already begun to cooperate with the Jurchens know! Even if one day the Wu Dynasty is destroyed and someone remembers him, we will not forgive him! We will put him in a dilemma for ten or twenty years!"

Across a long distance, the giant beasts in the southwest flipped their bodies. The Spring Festival had just passed, and teams of people left the Chengdu Plain from different directions, about to set off a violent bloody storm. This time, before the people arrived, the dangerous signal had expanded in all directions.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, an army was walking east under the hazy sky. Wanyan Xiyin rode on the horse. After reading the urgent news from the detailed work, he laughed. He handed the information to Yin Shuke beside him. After reading the Yin Shuke, he passed it to the side. Soon, Wanyan Qingjue called over. After reading the news, his face was unstable: "Teacher..."

"Qingjue, you are in the southwest and have dealt with Naning Rentu. What do you think of this move?"

"Qingjue is dull, and now I just think... this is a good thing." Wanyan Qingjue smiled. "Ning Liheng's move is intended to echo the situation in Jiangnan and share some pressure for the prince's apprentice. However, once the Black Flag Army starts to start a massacre in Wu Dynasty, it will certainly shock a group of hesitant little sluts, but those who have contact with us and have contacts before can only stand on my side without hesitation... Among the people of Wu Dynasty, any teacher who has a handle in his hands can lobby one by one without any obstacles."

Xi Yin nodded, Wanyan Qingjue frowned slightly after saying this: "It's just such a thing. I think Ning Rentu would not have imagined that since he did this, he might have many tricks, and it is unknown that the disciples think it is necessary to guard against it."

After he said this with concern, Wanyan Xiyin smiled: "Qingjue, you underestimate the Ningrenshu too much. He has been watching this person for several years. He has been good at using strategy and is even better at managing. If he is given ten years, the black flag has already come true, and it is probably difficult for anyone in the world to stop him. In the past ten years, I, the Jurchens, have occupied the general trend, so he has to fight in a hurry. Even for the sake of the Wu Dynasty's resistance, he has to send his own elites out and sacrifice on the battlefield..."

"Then... why did the disciple underestimate him..." Wanyan Qingjue frowned.

Xi Yin seemed in a very good mood: "It is because, in addition to this kind of business, this person has a characteristic, which is the most terrifying... When he meets a narrow road, he must be the bravest of the brave. Anyone who is famous for his wisdom in the world, if he cannot do anything, he will definitely come up with various detours to seek victory. Ning Rentu can sacrifice his life without hesitation at the most critical moment and find the real greatest chance of victory."

"... Wisdom and courage are the characteristics that only a real hero has. Therefore, he can kill the emperor and fight against the Wu Dynasty. Facing the fate of my Dajin Tianming, he is desperate, but still can't retreat. Although the whole world is enemies, he still fights out a world." Xi Yin rode his horse and smiled, "I think it's because it's calculated that it will make some people crazy, Ning Liheng sent people so resolutely, haha--it's just about to catch them in one go!"

As the war horses moved forward, Wanyan Qingjue hurriedly followed, and only heard Xi Yin say, "It's time. In two days, Qingjue, you go south personally, be responsible for lobbying all parties and mobilizing everyone to block the black flag. The heroes compete for the world. The world is the most ruthless. Let those cowards who are sneaky and swaying and dirty, all go to see the King of Hell! They are still sleeping in their dreams and not waking up. This world is..."

Xi Yin smiled and said, "I'm in a war--" The laughter was heroic, as if burning the entire river and mountains ahead.

The world has been fought. There are no cowards in this world. Lin'an City is burning in turmoil, Jiangning is burning, and then the entire Nanwu land is about to burn. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Liu Chengzong's troops, who were originally wandering southeast of Bianliang, suddenly turned and rushed back to Xuzhou City, which he had voluntarily given up last year. He wanted to take advantage of the moment when the Jurchens placed their focus on Jiangnan to cut off the return of the Jurchen Eastern Route Army again.

At the same time, Wu Shu's military command arrived at the capital of the Wu Dynasty, a prosperous city where more than 1.5 million people gathered at this time: Lin'an.
Chapter completed!
