In the eleventh year of Wu Jianshuo, the first day of the first month.

The sound of firecrackers bakes the joyful atmosphere on the Chengdu Plain, Zhangcun, this place dominated by soldiers and military families welcomed the arrival of the New Year in a lively and orderly atmosphere, after the group worship on Chinese New Year's Eve, there was a lively dinner, the first day of the New Year congratulated each other, every household was pasted with red blessing characters, children went around begging for money, and the sound of firecrackers and laughter continued.

Carrying a large bag and a small bag, Zhuo Yongqing took He Ying and He Xiu sisters, and began to visit the door in the morning, and at night, Qu Qing, Mao Yishan, Hou Wu and others came over with their families, this is the first meal of the new year, and it was agreed to be solved at Zhuo Yongqing's home - he got married in October last year, and he married not only his sister, but his sister He Ying and his sister He Xiu both entered the family, Ning Yi married their master, and a group of people laughed at this guy for enjoying the blessings of Qi people.

In the past year, there is no need to talk about the sad or happy story between Zhuo Yongqing and his spicy sister He Ying. War will disrupt a lot of things, even in this place where the Huaxia army gathers, the styles of the soldiers are different, there are people similar to Xue Changgong, who are consciously precarious in the war and are unwilling to marry a wife, and there are also families who take care of the women around them and unconsciously come together.

Zhuo Yongqing's life is smooth and happy, the lame girl He Xiu's health is not good, her temperament is also weak, and she can't support half of the family when she is complicated, and her sister He Ying has a strong personality, but she can be regarded as an excellent hostess. She used to have a bad attitude towards Zhuo Yongqing, she came and went, but after getting married, she was naturally no longer like this. Zhuo Yongqing has no family, after getting married, he lived with He Ying and He Xiu's weak mother, took care of it nearby, and when the New Year came, he also saved the trouble of running at both ends.

After the lively banquet ended, the women cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, the men moved the tables and chairs, Mao Yishan's children ran out to find other playmates, Zhuo Yongqing and Qu Qing, Hou Wu, Mao Yishan, Hou Yuanhao and others sat in the courtyard drinking and chatting, and it was late at night before they dispersed.

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

Sending them away, Zhuo Yongqing returned to the courtyard, moved the tables and chairs into the room, He Ying and He Xiu also came to help, and when these things were done, Zhuo Yongqing sat down on the stool in the room, his body was straight, his hands were clasped, and he was thinking about something. The naïve He Xiu walked in, still talking in his mouth, seeing his expression, he was a little confused, and 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's wrong?"

"I have something I want to tell you." Zhuo Yongqing looked at them, "I'm going to go on an expedition." ”

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

Recently, the situation in the outside world has been tense, and most of the family members living here have been aware of the aggravation of the tasks and the change in the atmosphere of the center of the Huaxia Army in Zhangcun.

But no one thought that it was about to go on the expedition now......

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

For the central departments of the Huaxia Army, the whole situation suddenly became tense, and then the high-speed operation of various departments began on December 28.

The high-level meeting presided over by Ning Yi determined several important guidelines, and then the meetings and discussions of various departments, on the night of the 28th, the entire Zhangcun village operated almost all night, and even people who had not entered the decision-making level could more or less understand that something was going to happen.

Over the past two years, the Huaxia Army has engaged in wind and rain in the southwest, done all kinds of things with great success, and extricated itself from the embarrassment of the previous years, and the atmosphere in the entire army is dominated by optimism. The feeling of being ready to fly, tense and exciting, some people can even vaguely guess some clues, out of strict confidentiality regulations, everyone can't discuss this, but even walking on the street looking at each other and smiling, it seems to contain some kind of mountain rain is about to come.

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

Time back to the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhuo Yongqing sat down outside the already familiar courtyard, his body was straight, his hands were clenched into fists, and there were already people waiting on the stool next to him, this person was thin but looked resolute, it was Qian Zhiqiang, the deputy minister in charge of commerce and trade of the Huaxia Army to the Wu Dynasty, the two sides had already greeted each other, and did not speak at this time.

Not long after, someone came out inside, it was a fat monk with a round body and a smile, glanced at the two of them, and went out with a smile. This monk does not show much in Zhang Village, many people may not know him, but Zhuo Yongqing knows the identity of the other party, the monk should be regarded as Qian Zhiqiang's subordinate, who has been walking in the outside world for a long time, and has been a matchmaker for the business activities of the Huaxia Army in the Wu Dynasty, Feng Zhen, the gangster "honest monk", in the eyes of the outside world, is a free broker who walks in black and white but does not belong to either side, because he has not died for so many years, it can be seen that martial arts are also quite good.

After the monk left, Qian Zhiqiang went in, and not long after, the other party came out and smiled at Zhuo Yongqing, and Zhuo Yongqing entered the courtyard. At this time, it was still morning, Ning Yi was busy in the study, and when Zhuo Yongqing came in, he put down his work and poured him a cup of tea. Then his eyes were serious and he got straight to the point.

"In view of the recent situation in the Wu Dynasty, we can't sit idly by, we have made some decisions in the past two days, and we have to take action, of course, it has not been announced yet." He said, "There's something about you, I think I should talk to you in advance, you can refuse." ”

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

"Sit down." Ning Yi waved his hand, "The entire task will be announced one after another on the first and second days of the junior high school, since it is a task, it is not allowed to be easily shirked, but if there is a reason for difficulties, of course other people can also apply, which can allow you to advance and explain that the situation you are facing is different." ”

Zhuo Yongqing sat down, and Ning Yi continued.

"After the Battle of Xiaocanghe, we moved to the southwest and occupied the Chengdu Plain last year, and you know the whole situation, so you don't need to go into details. There will inevitably be a big war in the southern invasion of the Jurchens, and now it seems that it is quite difficult for the Wu Dynasty to support, and the Jurchens are more resolute than imagined, and they have more means, if we sit back and watch the Wu Dynasty collapse in advance, we will fall into great passivity next, so we must try our best to help. ”

"First of all, the most direct dispatch of troops is not a feasible option, we have just taken the Chengdu Plain, from last year to this year, we have expanded the army to nearly 20,000, but there are not many that can be divided, Miao Jiang and Dayang's troops are even less, if you want to force the expedition, you will have to face the danger of collapse in the rear, and the families of the soldiers will die here. On the other hand, we issued a message earlier, taking the initiative to give up the confrontation with the Wu Dynasty, and pushing the army to the east and north, the first thing we faced was the counterattack of the Wu Dynasty, at this time, there was no point in fighting, even if people were willing to take advantage of the road, and pushed our tens of thousands of people into a thousand miles to their millions of troops, I estimate that the Jurchens and the Wu Dynasty would choose to eat us as soon as possible. ”

"Without a large-scale army, there is only another choice, we decided to send a certain number of manpower, supplemented by special operations and decapitation operations, to enter the territory of the Wu Dynasty first, and fight against those traitor forces who are ready to connect with the Jurchens, come and go, and oppose the water, but those who take refuge in the Jurchens will be killed."

Ning Yi's words were simple and calm, but Zhuo Yongqing's heart was shocked. This is the message that Mr. Ning transmitted from the southwest, and you can imagine how the people of the world will be shaken.

"Zhou Yong made several stinky moves, we can't take his words, we can't let everyone in the Wu Dynasty really think that Zhou Yong has reconciled with us, otherwise I'm afraid the Wu Dynasty will collapse faster. We can only choose to make our voices heard in the most efficient way, and even if our Huaxia Army will forgive its enemies, it will never let go of the traitors who defected at this time. I hope that in this form, I can stabilize the situation and seize a glimmer of life for the prince of the Wu Dynasty who are still resisting at the moment. ”

"It's a dangerous thing. It may make some wavering people retract, and it will also make those forces that have already defected even more desperate, including some of the people who have been planted in the Wu Dynasty before the Jin Kingdom, will also move to block you. Ning Yi waved his hand and said, "Of course, this is the best, then fight and clean them up." ”

“…… At present, these teams that are planning to go out are bright and dark, and the reason why you are considered is because of your special identity, you have killed Yan Lou Room, and you are a hero against the Jurchens, we ...... Intend to put your team in the open and say what we're going to say, but at the same time they'll be staring at you like flies. So you are also the most dangerous...... Considering that you only got married two months ago, and that you are on such a dangerous task, I allow you to refuse. ”

Zhuo Yongqing subconsciously stood up, Ning Yi waved his hand, his eyes didn't look at him: "Don't be impulsive, don't answer for the time being, and think about it seriously when you go back." Let's go. ”

“…… Be. Zhuo Yongqing saluted and left, and when he left the room, he glanced back, Mr. Ning sat on the stool and did not give him away, raised his hand to drink tea, and did not look this way. This is different from the Ning Yi he sees on weekdays, but Zhuo Yongqing understands in his heart that Mr. Ning probably thinks that it is not a good thing to send himself to the most dangerous position alone, and he is not happy in his heart.

Thinking so, he saluted again outside the door. After leaving the courtyard, he walked to the corner of the street, and Qu Qing came from the side, greeted him, and walked with him for a while. At this time, Qu Qing, who was serving at the top level of the General Staff, also looked a little wrong at this time, and Zhuo Yongqing waited for him to speak.

"It's my offer to add you to the outgoing ranks." Quqing Road.

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

"You've only been married for two months......"

"One day when we get married, we will also go to the army when we should go on the expedition, and we will be soldiers, don't we have to do this?" Zhuo Yongqing smiled at Quqing.

"However, this matter is different from going to war, going out to fight, everyone takes the same risk, in this matter, you go out, you will become the biggest target, although we have many plans, but it is still difficult to guarantee no accidents."

The two walked forward, Zhuo Yongqing just smiled, did not speak, and when they reached the crossroads on the side of the General Staff, Qu Qing stopped, and then said: "I have already proposed to Mr. Ning that I will be in charge of a team that will go out this time, if you decide to accept the task, I will walk with you." ”

He smiled, turned around and went in the direction of work, and after taking a few steps, Zhuo Yongqing opened his mouth behind his back: "Brother Qu." ”

"Huh?"

Zhuo Yongqing walked over and walked to the side of the road with him: "You know, over the years, I have always had a thing that I have been obsessed with. ”

“…… What the? ”

"After killing Yan Lou's room, you know and I know, it was just a fluke. At that time, I was just a new soldier, and when I went to the battlefield, I couldn't swing a knife, and I killed Lou Room because I fell and the knife fell off my hand...... At that time, there were so many brothers, and in the end, you and me, Brother Hou, Brother Mao, and Brother Luo Yeluo were left, to be honest, you are all much more powerful than me, but the credit for killing Lou Room fell on my head. ”

He looked at Qu Qing: "In the past few years, because of this inexplicable merit, I have been promoted in the army, Mr. Ning has known me, and many people have also known me, saying that Zhuo Yongqing is so powerful." What's so powerful, when I go to the battlefield, I can't even rush to the front - 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 Huaxia Army, I just happened to be pushed out as a brand. ”

He smiled: "If you are in the Wu Dynasty, it will be okay to be a brand and take benefits, but because in the Huaxia Army, I have seen so many heroes, I have seen Brother Mao, Brother Luo Yeluo, you and Brother Hou, and then look at Mr. Ning, I also want to become such a character...... 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 clearly: "Look at you, except for the madman of Brother Luo, you all look crooked and cracked, representing the Huaxia Army to kill and speak to the whole world, of course, it is a task that a handsome and beautiful person like me can afford."

“…… So, I'm going to go. ”

……

“…… So, I'm on my way. ”

The same words are said to different people, with different moods, and for some people, Zhuo Yongqing feels that even if he comes countless times, he may not be able to find the right tone to match.

On the night of confession with his wife, the family hugged each other and said a lot of things, and some people cried, and of course there were smiles. In the next day or two, I am afraid that the same scene will be repeated many times in the homes of the Huaxia soldiers. The words are endless, and before they set out for the battle, they each left what they wanted to say the most, and let the troops keep it in the form of a suicide note.

Ning Yi, Qin Shaoqian and others took turns to meet the leaders and participating members of different teams, each with different destinations and different tasks.

"Du kills, Fang Shu Chang...... The leader went to Xiangfan to persuade He Jiayou to purge the Jurchen spies who had been found out now......"

Ren Suli ...... Lead the team to the Changsha area, cooperate with Chen Fan's eyeliner, and wait for the opportunity to assassinate thirteen people on this list, and the latter part of the list, if confirmed, can be dealt with as appropriate......"

Ji Yuanjing ...... Two hundred people went to the Sword Pavilion to negotiate with the guard Si Zhongxian about borrowing the road, and in addition, they had a detailed discussion with the local Chen family, and ...... in my name."

"Feng Zhen and Luo Xiguang led the team, coordinated the actions of Zhuo Yongqing's team, lurked in themselves, and paid close attention to all clues in the outside world, at the same time, the three clans on the list, there are one hundred and eighteen marked men, and they can kill ......"

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

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

"Waiting for ......"

"Luo Zifu ......"

“…… Let those who are already in the middle of the war know that there is someone in the world who stands with them......"

“…… It is necessary to unleash the green forest, unleash the recklessness, unleash all those who cannot avoid this war, and unleash all the forces that can be mobilized......"

“…… You have to block the back of those who are swinging, you have to analyze them well, you have to talk to them......"

“…… Let those who have already embarked on the path of cooperation with the Jurchens know! Even if one day, the Wu Dynasty falls, and someone remembers him, we will not forgive him! In the south and the north, in ten or twenty years, we have made him a dilemma of life and death! ”

Separated by a long distance, the giant beast in the southwest turned its body, the Spring Festival has just passed, and teams of people and horses have left the Chengdu Plain from different directions, and they are about to set off a violent bloody storm, this time, before the people arrived, the danger signal has expanded in all directions.

On the seventh day of the first month, there was an army going east under the hazy sky, Wanyan Xiyin rode on a horse, and finished reading the urgent line report from the fine work, and then laughed, he handed the information to the side of the silver Shuke, Yinshu can read it, and passed it to the side, not long after, Wan Yan Qingjue called over, after reading the news, his face was cloudy: "Teacher ......"

"Qing Jue, you are in the southwest, and you have dealt with the Naning people, what do you think of his move?"

"Qing Jue is stupid, and now I only feel ...... That's a good thing. Wanyan Qingjue showed a smile on his face, "Ning Liheng's move is intended to echo the battle situation in Jiangnan and share some pressure for that prince's little apprentice." However, once the Black Flag Army began to kill in the Wu Dynasty, it would certainly be able to deter a group of hesitant Xiaoxiao, but those who had contacts and dealings with our side before could only stand on the side of our Dajin without hesitation...... Among these people in the Wu Dynasty, all the teachers who have a handle in their hands can lobby one by one, and there is no hindrance. ”

Xi Yin nodded, and after Yan Qingjue finished speaking, he frowned slightly: "It's just such a thing, I don't think that Ning Rentu can't think of it, since he has done this, I'm afraid there are many back-ups, and I don't know, the disciple feels that it is necessary to be guarded." ”

After he said this worriedly, Wanyan Xiyin laughed: "Qing Jue, you underestimate the slaughter of the Ning people too much, for the teacher to watch this number of years, he is good at strategy in his life, and he is even better at management, if he is given another ten years, the black flag has become a general trend, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to stop him in this world." In the past ten years, after all, it was my Jurchen who had the general advantage, so he had to rush to the battle, and even had to send his elite out again and sacrifice on the battlefield for the sake of the resistance of the Wu Dynasty......"

"That'...... Why did the disciple underestimate him......" Wanyan Qingjue frowned.

Xi Yin's mood seemed to be very good: "It's just because, in addition to this purpose, this person still has one trait, which is the most terrifying...... When they meet on a narrow road, he must be the brave of the brave. In the world, all those who are famous for their resourcefulness, if they can't do anything, they will inevitably come up with all kinds of detours in order to win, but this Ning Ren Tu can spare his life without hesitation at the most critical time, and find out the real biggest chance to win. ”

“…… Resourcefulness and courage, this is the trait of a real hero, so he was able to kill the emperor, anti-Wu Dynasty, in the face of my Dajin Heavenly Destiny, he was cornered, but he was still able to retreat, although the world is the enemy, but still stubbornly kill a piece of the world. Xi Yin rode his horse and smiled, "I see, it is precisely because it is calculated that it will make some people crazy, so Ning Liheng sent people so without hesitation, haha-just catch them all!" ”

The war horse moved forward, Wanyan Qingjue hurriedly followed, only to hear Xi Yin say: "It's time, in two days, Qingjue, you will personally go south, responsible for lobbying all parties and mobilizing everyone to block the black flag. They still sleep in their dreams and don't wake up, this world......"

Xi Yin smiled: "It's a war—" The laughter was heroic, as if it was burning the entire river and mountain in front of him.

In this world, there is a war. There is no place for cowards to live, Lin'an City is burning in turmoil, Jiangning is burning in turmoil, and then the entire land of Nanwu will burn. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Liu Chengzong's troops, which had been wandering in the southeast of Bianliang, suddenly turned around and inserted back diagonally towards Xuzhou City, which had been voluntarily abandoned last year, to take advantage of the moment when the Jurchens were focusing on the south of the Yangtze River to once again cut off the return of the Jurchen East Route Army.

At the same time, the Wushu soldiers arrived at the capital of the Wu Dynasty, a prosperous city where more than 1.5 million people had gathered at this time: Lin'an.

In the wind, there is like a song......
