In mid-August, the autumn harvest was completed on the Chengdu Plain. A large amount of grain was collected on this plain, over-scaled, taxed, transported, and stored in warehouses. The Huaxia Army's law enforcement team entered every inch of the plain. Oversee the implementation of the whole situation.
Zhangcun, where the core of the Huaxia Army is located, the lights are still warm after nightfall. Soldiers patrolling through the small villages and towns like water in the moonlight pass by the adults and children who live here.
In the study room in the small courtyard, Ning Yi was burying his head in a pile of materials, burying his head in writing, occasionally sitting up, reaching out and pressing the position on the right side of his neck, pursing his lips. Hong Ti came in from outside with a bowl of black medicinal tea and placed it beside him.
"The herbal tea has been out for a while, let's drink it first."
In Hongti's voice, Ning Yi's eyes were still on the information on the desk, he picked up the tea bowl and drank it, put down the bowl and said in a low voice, "It's hard to drink."
His voice was a little hoarse, and his throat was also hurting. Hongti brought the bowl and gently rubbed his neck for him: "You've been too busy recently, thinking too much, just take a rest..."
Ning Yi curled his lips and was about to speak, and Hongti said again: "Okay, don't talk anymore, just do things first."
Ning Yi leaned forward and continued to summarize the information on the documents. After a while, he spoke in a dull voice: "As for the General Staff, the battle plan has not yet been fully decided."
Hong Ti rubbed his neck for him: "Well."
"But when it passed yesterday, when I mentioned the combat code, I said that we should despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically. The guys who were laying the ground floor thought about it for a while, and told me in the afternoon... ahem, just say ' Father love' it..."
The night was calm, Ning Yi was dealing with the information on the table, and his words were relatively calm. Hong Ti was stunned for a moment: "Uh..." After a while, he realized that he couldn't help laughing, and Ning Yi also laughed. The couple laughed all over their bodies. Trembling, Ning Yi made a hoarse voice, and then whispered after a while: "Oh, it hurts..."
Due to the accumulation of many things, Ning Yi has been extremely busy in recent months. However, when he saw Su Tan'er who came back from outside a moment later, he repeated the joke again. Tan'er frowned and held back a smile and criticized her husband. Such unorthodox behavior...
…
East of Chengdu, a small village outside Yupu County.
Qian Luoning, "The Feather Knife", was guided through the dark road. When he entered the room, Watermelon was sitting at the table frowning and calculating something, writing and drawing with a charcoal pen in his hand.
A faint voice came from the room on the other side of the courtyard.
"... In Xiao Canghe, when I killed Jurchen, I made a contribution! I made a contribution! At that time, my team leader was Feng Min. When Gongshan moved, we stood behind, and Jurchen took the I helped tens of thousands of thieves who surrendered to kill me, and I didn't retreat! I was stabbed thirteen times in my body, my hands were gone, and my feet still hurt every year. I am a fighting hero, as Mr. Ning said... You, you..."
"So from here, you started to compensate yourself, partnered with Lin Guanghe, and became the emperor of the earth. Did you find him or he found you in the first place?"
"...I-I want to see Master Feng."
"We met Feng Min before we came here. He asked us to find out the facts. If it was true, he would only wish he couldn't take you on the road with his own hands. Come on, Lin Guanghe said it was your idea, and you fell in love with his family at first. the woman…”
"He spit out blood"
The shouting expanded for a moment, then fell again. Qian Luoning and Watermelon were both highly skilled in martial arts, and these sounds could not avoid them. Watermelon frowned and sighed.
"It's a pity again. Senior Brother Qian, how are you doing?"
"In the past few months, Lao Niutou has been very restrained internally, and a consensus has been reached on only reaching out to the north and not touching the Huaxia Army. Regarding the situation in the world, there are internal discussions, thinking that although everyone has split from the Huaxia Army, many are still Mr. Ning's disciple, the truth that no one can stay out of the world's rise and fall, everyone agrees, so he sent a letter to this side a month earlier, saying that if there is any problem with the Huaxia Army, even if you speak up, it is not a fake, but Mr. Ning's It's a bit embarrassing for them to refuse, of course, most of the middle-level people feel that this is Mr. Ning's kindness, and they are grateful."
"Which side are you from, do they care about it?"
"I'd love to stand on their side, but Chen Shanjun, Li Ximing and the others seem to be more willing to regard me as a contact with you. The innovation of Lao Niutou is going on, and many people are actively responding. In fact, even if it was me, I don't quite understand Mr. Ning's decision, look here..."
Qian Luoning spread his hands and sighed. He is the youngest of all Liu Dabiao's disciples, but his savvy talent was originally the highest. At this time, he is nearly forty years old, and he has actually surpassed the senior brother Du Sha in martial arts. For watermelon's idea of equality, others just agree, and his understanding is also the deepest.
When the old Niutou split, everyone who went out was attached to Ning Yi. They were only preparing for remonstrance. Who knew it would turn into a coup, and then Ning Yi also let them go, which made everyone Everyone can't figure it out.
Compared with Ning Yi, those who believe in the concept of equality over the years may have a deeper affection for Watermelon, but in this case, Watermelon finally chose to trust and accompany Ning Yi, and Qian Luoning voluntarily joined the opposite team. First, he has such an idea, and secondly, as Ning Yi said, when things are really irreversible, maybe only the watermelon family can save some of the survivors.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, the situation in the Chengdu Plain has been complicated by internal and external turmoil. The situation of the Huaxia Army may not seem as exciting as the unity of thought and the momentum of the Lao Niutou side.
Hearing Qian Luoning sigh, Watermelon got up from her seat and sighed too. She opened the window at the back of this earthen house, and saw the courtyard outside the window was exquisite and simple. Obviously, a lot of thought went into it, and a warm spring came in from outside the courtyard. , and out on the other side, a path extends to the house behind.
"The house is thatched and earth hut, but look at this exquisite appearance, people are fighting heroes of Xiao Canghe, but after arriving here, Liu Guanghe and Liu Guanghe started to make money. People have never read books, but they are really smart. He and Liu Guanghe have calculated Huaxia Army supervises and inspects problems, falsely reporting fields and making false accounts. Beautiful girls from nearby villages and counties played more than ten times. After playing, they introduced other people's children to the Huaxia Army. They also thanked him... It's too late."
Watermelon shook his head: "Since the incident of Lao Niutou, Liheng has been predicting the next situation. The Wu Dynasty was defeated too quickly, and the situation in the world will inevitably turn sharply. There is not much time left for us, and before the autumn harvest, Li Heng said that the autumn harvest will become a big problem. In the past, the imperial power was not subordinate to the county, and all kinds of things were settled by these landlords and clans. Now it is going to be controlled by us. In the past year or two, they saw us as fierce, and there were still some I'm afraid, by now, the first wave of resistance has begun..."
Qian Luoning nodded: "So, from the internal rectification in May, the transition to the external crackdown in June, is to deal with the situation in advance... Junior sister, your family really has no last resort, but it is also because of this that I am more It's strange what he's doing. First, if you want to change this situation, you and these big clans will fight sooner or later. Wouldn't it be better for him to accept Chen Shanjun's advice? Second, if you don't accept Chen Shanjun's advice, then When they are in a critical situation, they will be arrested and locked up. Everyone must understand. Now that it is too much, how much effort will he need to do the next thing... "
Watermelon was silent for a moment: "Liheng has been really tired recently, I can't tell you what you said, but Liheng is very sure that you will encounter huge problems in the middle and late stages, and in my opinion Come on, he thinks that even if you fail, you have a lot of significance... So he was sighing a few days ago, saying that he had made a pot of himself, and he had to carry it back when he cried. I heard that his voice was broken these days, not so much. I can speak."
Saying so, Xigua tilted her head and smiled, as if she felt helpless for having such a husband. Qian Luoning frowned and pondered, then said, "Mr. Ning, is he really... so sure?"
"Scared?"
"According to the results of Mr. Ning's calculations over the years, who can ignore his thoughts?"
"The same is true for the Huaxia Army, but Liheng is not happy. He said that he finally got rid of his own influence, so that everyone can think independently. In the end, he had to pick up the cult of personality. The way, he is all to keep a little bit of achievements from Lao Niutou... You have to be careful when you are there, of course you can laugh and laugh, but when something goes wrong, I am afraid that you will be the first to find you. "
"Well." Qian Luoning nodded, "I came here this time because they were not willing to be excluded from the battle against the Jurchens. After all, they are brothers, and the broken bones are still connected to the tendons. Many people have also participated in the battle of Xiaocanghe, and have had blood feuds with Jurchen, and the voices of hope to fight together are loud, Chen Shanjun still hopes that I will come and walk your way in private, and I want you to give me an answer."
Watermelon shook his head: "I think differently from Liheng about thinking. I still listen to him about the war. You have more than 3,000 people, and half of them are still engaged in administration. It's troublesome to run over and unify command. The battle with the Jurchen may be divided into two lines, the first battle is Changsha, there is still some time here, you persuade Chen Shanjun to develop with peace of mind, take advantage of the turmoil of the Wu Dynasty to swallow some places and expand the manpower is the main issue."
Qian Luoning nodded, and the two walked towards the door. In the courtyard, the monitoring team was moving the gold and silverware in the cellar to the outside, and their figures were hidden in the shadows.
"As for this battle, you don't have to worry too much." Xigua's voice was light, and she tilted her head, "Da Yang's side has already begun to move. In this battle, we will keep Zonghan here."
The moon was like water, Qian Luoning nodded slightly.
