Jin and Wu fought against each other, from the northern kingdom to the south of the Yangtze River, the world has been divided into several points. As a nominally leading foot in the world, the news of Liu Yu anyway has brought an conceivable huge impact to the seemingly calm world situation. In the overall situation of the entire world game, it is difficult to tell who is good or who is bad for this news, but the perception that the strings are suddenly tightened has been clearly placed in front of everyone's eyes.
The eldest princess from the Southern Kingdom had almost a similar reaction when she heard the news. In Wasion City, north of the Yellow River, after figuring out how Liu Yu was robbed for a few days, Lou Shuwan's expression changed for the first time. It was also pale and pale. Of course, due to her long-term hard work, her face was pale originally, but this time, the trembling and shaking in her eyes were clearly enough for people to see.
It has been less than a year since the usurpation of power that killed the Tiger King, and the harvest of new grains has not yet been planted, and the future, where there may be no harvest, is imminent.
"Call the guards and invite Fifth Master Zhan to come over." After making some arrangements, Lou Shuwan instructed his men to invite the representatives of the Huaxia Army into the mansion, "If he doesn't come... I will delay him."
Since the subversion of Tian Hu's regime, the new Tian Shi regime has launched a series of cooperation with the Huaxia Army, including strong crossbow, iron cannon, gunpowder, knives and guns, and even book knowledge, as long as it can be obtained, Lou Shuwan has launched trade with the Southwest . In the process of this trade, Lou Shuwan also actively searched for craftsmen to prepare to imitate many Chinese military equipment. If the situation calms down, this will be on the right track from the second half of the year.
The scale of these transactions under the table is not small. Zhan Wu, who was originally in charge of the Tianhu site, became the secret coordinator of the two parties. This middle-aged man, who originally partnered with Fang Chengye, had an honest appearance. Maybe he knew about the whole situation long ago, and he followed him honestly after being summoned by Lou Shuwan.
Lou Shuwan was sitting in the reception room, her stature was thin but terrifying, and she stared straight at the person who came in, as if she was going to kill the other person with her eyes first. A woman in a high position who lost her father and brother, or almost everything, is even more terrifying than the famous building near Hangzhou. However, Zhan Wu just saluted respectfully, looked at each other, and did not speak.
After being silent for a long time, realizing that the man in front of him would not be shaken, Lou Shuwan stood up: "In the spring, I planted a depression in the yard outside. I planted everything in a mess. I was spoiled and endured a lot of hardships, but I never developed the habit of farming, and I guess I won’t be able to harvest anything in autumn. But now it seems that there is no chance for autumn.”
The words in her mouth were simple and indifferent, and she looked at Zhan Wu: "I only killed Tian Hu last year, and those people outside have planted a lot of things, but they have not harvested them once, because your actions of the Black Flag Army did not succeed. Take it. Master Zhan, you have also planted land, what do you think?"
Zhan Wu was silent for a moment: "No one wants to see such a situation. But I think Miss Lou has misunderstood."
"Oh? Is this what Ning Liheng taught you to save your life?"
"It's my own thoughts. Even if Mr. Ning is exhaustive, he won't put his mind into these matters." Zhan Wu handed over his hands and smiled sincerely, "Miss Lou put all this matter on the head of my Huaxia Army. It's really unfair."
"You want to tell me that it was the trash from the Wu Dynasty who stole Liu Yu? It has nothing to do with you this time?" Lou Shuwan sneered, her cold eyes already filled with murderous intent.
The opposite Zhan Wu shook his head: "No, this time it was the handwriting of my Huaxia Army, the Wu Dynasty did not have such skills. Moreover, when Xiaocanghe retreated, our comrades infiltrated Liu Yu Palace and injured him. A series of plans: to expose the news of our large-scale infiltration, to make the various forces in the Central Plains fight against each other, and to maintain mutual suspicion among them. It is also to maintain the prestige of our Chinese army secretly, and try to infiltrate it as much as possible after disturbing the Liu Yu court, in order to kill when necessary. Die or kidnap Liu Yu, this should be a foreshadowing left from the beginning, and now it seems that it is indeed a success."
After Zhan Wuyan confessed, Lou Shuwan's expression became even colder: "Hmph, in this way, you are not sure whether you call it what the Huaxia Army said, but you still think that only the Huaxia Army can do it. It's amazing."
"But Miss Lou shouldn't blame my Huaxia Army for this. There are two reasons." Zhan Wudao said, "One, the two armies face off against each other. Does Miss Lou hope for the kindness of the opponent?"
Lou Shuwan shook her head and said sternly, "I never expected you to be kind to me! So if you are in the first year of junior high, I can also be in the fifteenth!"
"Then please listen to me for the second reason: if my Huaxia Army makes a move this time, it's only for my own benefit and embarrass the world, it's okay for Miss Lou to kill me, but Zhan Wu thinks about it, this time, it's really a last resort. It's a win-win situation." Zhan Wu paused in Lou Shuwan's eyes, "I also asked Miss Lou to think about the actions of the Golden Dog in the past year. If our Huaxia Army does not act this time, Jin Guo will give up on the Central Plains. attack?"
"At least not so urgently."
"I don't think so." Zhan Wu shook his head, "Last year in the coup of King Tiger King, the Jin people did not raise their teachers to ask for guilt with great fanfare, and there is a hint of reckoning after the autumn. At the beginning of this year, Wu Qi bought a stroke and lay ill, and Zongfu Zongbi tried to balance Zong Han. There is already news of going south. At this time, Zong Han occupies the majority of the land in the Central Plains, and Zongfu Zongbi controls a small piece of land in the east. What is it, Miss Lou, have you thought about it?"
He didn't wait for Lou Shuwan to reply: "Zonghan's first step is to consolidate the Central Plains site. To consolidate the Central Plains site, it is only necessary to take back Liu Yu's rights. At the beginning of this year, the pseudo-Qi messenger Chen Jumei went north and persuaded the Jurchen parties to go south to conquer Wu Dynasty, this is an activity that Liu Yu has held every year after he became emperor. This event was delayed because of Wu Qimai's stroke. For everyone in the south, the king of a country had a stroke and was sick, and the most important thing that followed was The infighting that occurred around the establishment of the Chu, who knew that the Jurchen was different. Zongfu Zongbi wanted to capture Jiangnan and deter Zonghan with his achievements, and when Chen Jumei went south from Datong, the Jurchen arranged a team of guards for Chen Jumei for the first time. On the surface, the identity of the team guard is Wanyan Xiyin's family guard."
Zhan Wu paused, and Lou Shuwan said, "Just because it's unusual?"
"Intelligence work is a little bit of accumulation, and a little bit unusual, often there are many problems. To be honest, the news from the north asked me to try my best to observe the unusual clues on Chen Jumei's way south. I thought it was an ordinary surveillance, and later did not give a definite answer. However, it seems that the comrades from the north arrived at Bianliang one step ahead of Chen Jumei, and then the person in charge of Bianliang made a judgment and launched a campaign. the whole operation."
Lou Shuwan narrowed her eyes: "Isn't it Ning Yi's decision?"
"The world is separated by thousands of miles, and the situation is changing rapidly. Although Mr. Ning has made many arrangements when the Jurchen changes, the implementation of local affairs has always been judged by the responsible person in each region." Zhan Wu confessed, "Miss Lou, regarding the kidnapping of Liu Yu, Whether the timing is appropriate, I dare not say absolutely, but if Liu Yu really falls into the hands of Wanyan Xiyin and even Zong Han in the end, for the entire Central Plains, I am afraid it will be another situation."
He spread his hands: "Since the Jurchen went south to drive the Wu Dynasty out of the Central Plains, in these years, there have been constant resistance from all over the world, even in Liu Yu's court, there are countless people who care about the Wu Dynasty. Lou girl is so unwilling to succumb to foreign captives, like Wang Juyun, who has clearly shown her resistance. There are many people now. You are waiting for the best opportunity, but I am bluntly said, Lou girl, where is there such an opportunity? , I will give you another ten years of training here? When your troops are strong and strong, you will raise your arms? The world is beautiful? At that time, I am afraid that the entire world has already returned to the Jin Kingdom."
"People's ambitions will be wiped out little by little. Liu Yu's is the best time anyway, which can bring the unyielding people of the Central Plains to stand together again. We also hope to delay things for a longer time, but there will be no There are better opportunities, including the Jurchens. They also hope to have better opportunities. At least as far as we know, the time when the Jurchens scheduled the Southern Expedition to completely destroy the Wu Dynasty should have been two to three years later. We will not. When they were told to wait until that time, Wu Qimai's illness also forced them to rush south. So I said, this is the best time, and it's the last time, and there won't be a better time."
Zhan Wu paused: "Of course, Ms. Lou can still have her own choice, or Ms. Lou still chooses to be vain and condescending, surrender to Jurchen, and then come to the autumn after watching Wang Juyun and others get swept by the Jurchen, you will completely lose the opportunity to resist, our Huaxia Army. After all, the power of Lou and Miss Lou are separated by thousands of miles. If you make such a choice, we will not judge, and the relationship will end with the business in front of you. But if Miss Lou chooses to follow the small insistence in her heart and is ready to become an enemy of Jurchen, then , of course, our Huaxia Army will choose to fully support Miss Lou."
"You want me to block the gun, you said it beautifully." Lou Shuwan tilted her head and sneered, not knowing what to think, but there was a slight blush on her face.
Zhan Wu nodded: "As Miss Lou said, after all, Miss Lou is in the north, and the Xia army is in the south. If you can protect yourself in front of Jinren, it will also be a win-win news for us."
"Is this what Ning Liheng left behind? If we choose to resist gold, what benefits will you have?"
"It was indeed mentioned by Mr. Ning before he left." Zhan Wu nodded, "The girl Ruolou chooses to fight against the Jin Kingdom this time... Support, the Huaxia military is able to support it with all its strength."
"…Anything is fine?" Miss Lou looked at Zhan for a while, then suddenly smiled.
"As long as it can be done, it can be negotiated."
"I'll sell you after I get the benefits." Lou Shuwan's smile at this time was a little charming, and Zhan Wu slightly moved his eyes.
"The girl won't."
"Oh? Are you so sure that I don't want to surrender to the golden man?"
"... That's what Mr. Ning said when he left."
When Zhan Wu's words came out, the smile on Lou Shuwan's face faded, and the blood on her face also completely faded at that time. Looking at Zhan Wu, the expression in the woman's eyes was cold, she seemed to want to get angry, but then calmed down. After getting down, only her chest heaved twice, she walked back to the table and turned her back to Zhan Wu: "I'll consider it." Then she swept the tea cups off the table with her backhand.
"Go away," she said.
A look of thought flashed in Zhan Wu's eyes for a moment, and then he handed over and said goodbye.
************
It seems like hot lava, fermenting and boiling under the water in the Central Plains.
In Shouzhou, it was already night. Due to the turmoil in the current situation, the government had closed the city gates in four, and while the lights were lit, patrolling soldiers walked in the city.
In the inner courtyard of the prefectural mansion, in the study, a special conversation was going on. Zhizhou Jinwenkang looked at the tall and strong man in the head-hunting costume in front of him, with prudence and surprise in his eyes. This tall and strong man is named Bian Xingmao, and he is a well-known arrester in Shouzhou. , known as "Bianhutou" by outsiders. He came here today, but what he did was quite arrogant: to persuade Zhizhou to follow Liu Yu to join the Wu Dynasty.
"Bian Hutou, Bian Hutou, I have worked together for so long, I can't see that you are actually a black flag person."
"Xiaguan is by no means a man of the black flag." Xingmao bowed his hands over there, "It's just that the Jurchen was aggressive when she came, and she didn't have the chance to die with the golden dog a few years ago. In the past few years, Xiaguan has known that the adults are attached to Li Min, The sentiment is noble, but the Jurchen is so powerful that she has to be condescending, this time is the last chance, the lower official came here to tell the adults, the villains are not talented, I am willing to advance and retreat together with the adults, and I will kill the Jurchen in the future.”
"You are so sure, I want to drag the people of the city and Jurchen to death?"
"There are tens of millions of people in the Central Plains, and there is more than one person who has a heart for the Wu Dynasty? This time Liu Yu's blood letter is called. As long as the Wu Dynasty responds, there must be countless people who will stand up to respond... If you miss this time, there will be no chance."
Jin Wenkang was silent for a moment: "...I'm afraid the Wu Dynasty will not respond."
"Even if the Wu Dynasty is weak and there is this opportunity, it is absolutely impossible to miss it. If you miss it, the Central Plains in Japan will really belong to the Jurchen, and you can't take it back if you want to take it back... Sir, the opportunity should not be missed."
Jin Wenkang looked at him: "You are a head arrester, and you suddenly told me this, and said that you are not the Black Flag Army..."
"grown ups… "
Or a similar situation, or a similar statement, during these days, officials and squires who tended to the Wu Dynasty and had better reputations appeared one after another in various places. In Xuzhou, the storyteller who claimed to be a member of the Huaxia Army was blatant. He went to the government office, begging to meet and lobby local officials. In Yingzhou, there were also suspected Black Flag members who were hunted down during their lobbying. What appeared in Chenzhou was a large number of leaflets, spreading the news that the Jin Dynasty was about to occupy the Central Plains and the time had come...
In Lin'an City, Zhou Junwu lingered in the palace of the eldest princess, talking to the plain and indifferent sister. During the previous chat, the sister and brother had already quarreled. Regarding the actions of the Huaxia Army this time, Zhou Pei was as unforgivable as if he had been stabbed with a knife. Jun Wu also thought the same at first, but after listening to the analysis of various places, he changed his opinion.
"... After all, there are two possibilities for this matter. If the Golden Dog side has not thought about attacking Liu Yu, the Southwest does this kind of thing to let the snipe and mussel compete for the fisherman's profit. But if the Golden Dog side has already decided If you want to invade the south, then the southwest has seized the opportunity. How can you take your time when it comes to war! If we wait until Liu Yu is recalled to the Jin Kingdom, we will not even have the opportunity now, and at least we can raise our arms now. Huh, call on the people of the Central Plains to fight! Sister, after so many years of fighting, the Central Plains are not the same as before, and we are not the same as before. Go out and fight with the Jurchen again, ten times, and a hundred times. It's not impossible to win..."
"You always want to speak for him." Zhou Pei looked at him coldly, "I know it's going to be a fight. Now, what can I do but fight? I will support the fight, but Jun Wu, Ning Liheng His heart is ruthless, don't take it lightly. Not to mention the knife he stabbed at Wu Chao this time, it was just in Bianliang. In order to catch Liu Yu, how many officials of the Wu Dynasty he instigated to revolt? These people are all regarded as Bait, they took Liu Yu away, and the whole city was left there, do you know what's going to happen over there? This account will be placed on his head!"
Although Ning Yi had ordered some members of the Huaxia Army to infiltrate the opponent's upper ranks through the way of the puppet Qi's aggressive recruitment, it was still not an easy task to capture Liu Yu. On the day the operation was launched, the Huaxia Army used almost all available avenues. Many of the upright officials who were incited did not even know that the people who had been inciting them for the past few years were not from the Wu Dynasty. This whole operation almost exhausted the Huaxia Army's heritage in Bianliang. Although the first army was commanded in front of Jurchen, many people who participated in this incident did not have time to escape. Their fate is very difficult to get better. .
"Uh... the matter of war, how can the benevolence of women..."
"Yes, you can't be a woman. I have ordered the publicity of this matter. The people who died in Bianliang this time were attached to the Wu Dynasty. They risked their lives to fight, and they were fooled. It must be recorded under the name of the Black Flag Army, and it must be recorded under the name of Ning Yi." Zhou Pei's eyes were slightly red, "Brother, I don't mean to tell you how bad this thing is, but I know how you Look at him, I just want to remind you that one day in the future, when your master wants to attack Wu Chao, he will not be merciful to us, you don’t want to… die at his hands.”
"Uh..." Hearing Zhou Pei talking about this, Jun Wu was stunned for a moment, and finally sighed, "After all, it's a war, it's a war, what can I do... Alas, I know, Huangjie... I know..."
His face was bitter.
Not many people know that at the same time, the three counties of Hedeng, Bui, and Jishan are in a relatively chilling atmosphere in the southwest. , The officers and soldiers of the Wu Dynasty, and even some green forest experts, have been eager to move since a month or two ago. The Black Flag Army's action against Liu Yu was at the end of April, and Wanyan Xiyin persuaded Zong Han to decide to take back the Central Plains at the beginning of April. And the hands-on confrontation thousands of miles apart may have been earlier, even when the news of Wu Qimai's stroke came out, Xi Yin had already issued an order for the layout of the southwest direction.
In an assassination attempt at the end of April, Jin Er fell while running and transferred, and the child she had just conceived aborted. Everyone didn't know about having a child before...
However, relative to the people who died in these conflicts, it is somewhat difficult to summarize where this matter should be placed in the bottom of my heart.
In Bianliang City, terror and deathly silence have shrouded here.
After many days of search and torture, the result of Liu Yu's abduction could not be recovered, a massacre ordered by Ali Gua is about to start.
The flag of the Huaxia Army appeared outside the city gate of Bianliang.
There was only one person who came, a middle-aged man wearing a black flag. The person in charge of the Huaxia Army's puppet Qi system, the former commander of the Puppet Qi Forbidden Army, Xue Guangcheng, returned to Bianliang.
"I want to see General Ali Gu."
The Jurchen general Tong Ao who brought out the army originally knew Xue Guangcheng, but at this time he drew his sword and rode his horse: "Give me a reason not to kill you alive here!"
"You tell General Ali Gua a name. I represent the Huaxia Army, and I want to use him in exchange for some insignificant lives." Xue Guangcheng looked up at Tong Ao and paused.
"… Wanyan Qingjue." (., Your support is my biggest motivation.) 17-03-01 12:13:07
