On November 20, 786, Zichuan Xiu himself arrived in the capital of Kaige Province. He was accompanied by the main members of the Far Eastern Army High Command and the huge forces of the Far Eastern Army. Zichuan Xiu set up a temporary command camp in Kaige City, where he issued orders to the princes of the Zichuan family as the commander-in-chief of King Qin's rebel army.

"It is the duty of all the officials of the family to guard the land. The Ombudsman, the Gendarmerie Corps and the Judge Advocate General's Office have been outlawed for treason. Within one month from the date of this proclamation, the town officials in all parts of the family must cut off all contact with them, and no activities of the above-mentioned organizations shall be accommodated in the jurisdiction, and violators shall be regarded as rebellious accomplices! The governors and governors of the provinces in the southeast must arrive at the base camp of the rebel army within one month to meet His Highness Ning, and those who violate it will be regarded as a rebellious accomplice! ”

This proclamation, known as the "January Decapitation Order", caused a huge shock among the governors. Of the twenty-seven provinces in the southeast, so far, except for the five provinces that are closer to the exit of the Valen Fortress, such as Bartley, Bit, and Keg, have openly sided with the Far East, but most of them have remained silent about the war between the Zichuan family and the rebels. The governors were all wise men who were wise enough to protect themselves, and they had already made up their minds that the Inspectorate and the Far Eastern Army were too strong to interfere in the fight between them. Don't take a stand before the situation is clear, don't help anyone, don't offend anyone, and wait until they are done fighting before cheering for the winner. Even, some governors even have the idea of selling the military power in their hands at a price, depending on who gives more benefits to Di Lin and Zi Chuanning.

But now, Shikawa Shu's proclamation has shattered the governors' delusions. Compared with Zichuan Ning's gentle words and comfort, Zichuan Xiu, who has mastered the real power in the Far East, is more tough and domineering. Without discussion, without leaving the slightest thing to spare, he forced the local governors who had so far wavered to make a choice, one or the other! This also shows the strong confidence of the Far East: the Far Eastern Army is not only confident in defeating the rebels in Dilin, but also confident in crushing the local forces that dare to disobey the central government!

"You don't have to take out your little gadgets to show your ugliness!"

In the face of the arrogance of the Far Eastern commanders, who regarded the world as if they were nothing, the governors everywhere trembled. Less than a week after the proclamation was issued, a wave of expulsion of inspectors from the Inspectorate was set off in various localities, and six provinces, including Witte, Trencia, Gangmut, and Yassin, announced that they would join the Qinwang army anyway, and the provincial garrisons began to expel the inspectors and gendarmes of the Inspectorate in the province. The governor of the province took matters into his own hands and hurried to Keg.

In the remaining provinces, either because the number of inspectorates is too strong, or because they don't have the opportunity to do it, but the governors and governors don't dare to slack off, they either come in person, or send their henchmen and cronies to explain to Zichuan Xiu - this is the way things are in the world, in Dilin's words: "Human nature is cheap!" Zichuan Ning's gentle words soothed and persuaded, and it was also a great righteousness and persuasion. I don't know how many good things she said to persuade her, but the governors only thought she was farting; But now Zichuan Xiu just played a Far Eastern saber, and the governors were immediately frightened and obediently obeyed the order.

Time. The southeast land has changed abruptly. Except for the Five Elements Province and the Oss Province around the imperial capital, which did not dare to openly raise their righteousness because of the heavy garrison of the Supervision Department, the provinces in the southeast were nominally returned to the rule of the Zichuan family - the governors were very depressed: "Actually, we were also ruled by the Zichuan family before!" ”

In order to demonstrate their sincerity and determination, the Governors did so in different ways. In the middle of the night, the governor of Trencia suddenly moved and took down more than 2,000 people from the provincial military judges, procurators, and gendarmes with their families. Then, without waiting for Zi Chuanning, he asked for instructions. He swore to rebel and quell the rebellion in the city square, and cut off the heads of more than 2,000 men, women, and children, regardless of good or bad, and dozens of onlookers fainted.

Zi Chuan Ning, who received the report, was stunned for a long time and said, "Governor Huma is loyal, but he is acting a little too hastily. ”

However, Li Qing had fewer scruples and said bluntly: "This son is too rampant!" If he is given a chance, he will be another Dilin another day. ”

Flax was a special case, and most governors still couldn't do it that ruthlessly. After all, the Governor and the Inspector had worked together in the province for a long time. Many times they have to cooperate with each other, and there is no shortage of drinking, chatting and playing cards in private, which is somewhat affectionate.

The governors generally take a peaceful form, announce the expulsion order on official business, and then pull the inspector to the place where no one sheds tears to complain: "The commander of the Far East is very fierce, and I am really forced to do nothing, brother." Offended places. Brother, you will bear with it, if you have anger in your heart, brother. If you just beat me up, I won't fight back. Lord Dilin, I hope you can help me explain a few words, I really have to do it! "Some of the governors who can be people will also give each other a piece of money to go on the road, leaving room for future emergencies.

The supervisors are also bright-eyed, knowing that the general trend of the world is like this, and they can usually rely on the Imperial Capital Supervision Office and the authority of the Zichuan family to be arrogant and domineering. Now that the other party no longer cares about his backers, it's okay for the military justice department stationed in the supervision department to bully the common people, but it would be crazy to really fight with the garrison of a province. Since the other party has decided to turn his face, he is lucky enough not to be dragged to the sacrificial flag, where do he dare to talk back.

In this way, the Governor and the Inspector parted ways in an atmosphere of politeness and affection. Some people who usually have a good relationship are reluctant to shed a few tears, lamenting the vicissitudes of troubled times, and by the way, they also signed a mutual insurance contract, the content of which is probably "If your side wins, you can pull a brother at that time!" ”

The war had not yet begun, but the situation had already taken a sharp turn for the worse, seeing that the troops had turned against each other, and the troops in their hands were melting as quickly as ice cubes under the scorching sun, the Imperial Capital Supervision Office was anxious. Some subordinates suggested to Di Lin that he must go toe-to-toe with the Far East, and also issued a time-limited announcement to intimidate the local governors, but Di Lin did not agree. He knew that it was useless to threaten him now. The momentum of the Far Eastern Army is like a rainbow, and the local governors are more optimistic about them than the rebels who have left the local supervision office, and their intimidation will only make the local powerful factions unite more firmly around the Far Eastern Army.

"It's not my style to follow other people's steps. If you don't come, you will kill - it's really funny, this sentence should be my line, and this time I actually let Ah Xiu rob it. There's no way, I have to grab Ah Xiu's lines! ”

The Supervision Office also issued a proclamation, saying that the Far Eastern Army was a great rebel and dared to rebel against the family, which was really a heinous crime. Sooner or later, it will be suppressed by the family army. But now that the Far East was rampant, the governors were either bewitched by it, or forced by the pressure of their troops, and they had to rebel, and the family understood their difficulties and sufferings. As a result, the family allowed the satraps to disguise themselves as a last resort.

"Stay here and do something, just wait for the time to come, then the inside and the outside should be combined, and the rebellion will be broken

I can't help but say that Di Lin's trick is wonderful. Zichuan Xiu also had to admire. The Inspectorate did not close its doors to those governors who had taken refuge in the Far East, leaving them with the opportunity to rebel at any time; And for the Far Eastern Army, this is a spicy discord trick. Which of these governors who have come to take refuge is sincere and which is false. Whether or not there is even an undercover agent sent by the Supervision Department, no one can tell, and the consequence is that everyone in the Far Eastern Army suspects that while fighting with Dilin, they also have to watch out for their own allies, and the friendly forces that should be helping have become a burden.

"It doesn't cost a single soldier. A single announcement weakened the enemy, and the big brother's tricks were simply at the pinnacle level! ”

Praise is admiration, but Zichuan Xiu has no plans to have a long time with Di Lin in terms of strategy, he understands that the final victory can only be won on the battlefield.

On November 22, the stars hung in the wilderness, the sky was high and the earth was far away, and the black eagle flag was waving in the wind. Under the banner was a huge barracks, gray tents lined up neatly. There was no end to the huge army formation, and the blazing bonfires burned in the camp, and the orderly firelight flashes were far away in a row, until the end of the earth could not be reached. Where hundreds of thousands of troops were camped, only patrolling sentinels could be seen walking back and forth between the camps, and they did not hear the slightest noise.

In the night. A string of thin, dense horses' hooves broke the silence of the night. On the avenue, a group of knights galloped towards the Far Eastern military camp. But three miles outside the camp. Then they were confronted by the orc patrol.

The fierce orc sentry shouted, "What man? Show your pass! ”

The cloaked knights dismounted quickly. It can be seen from the dark blue uniforms that they are all high-ranking officers, but at this moment, they do not have half of the reserve and demeanor of senior officers. A short and fat red-clothed flag accompanied Harmony and said, "The brothers have worked hard to patrol the night. I am the Governor of Cannes, Colral, and these are the governors of Enron, Stee, Keg, and other provinces. We are all here to see the land of Xiuchuan, and we hope to be accommodating. ”

"No way!" The orc soldier grimaced, and he said in a not very proficient human language, "It's getting dark. Don't enter the camp, that's the rule! ”

"This, of course." The red-clothed flag accompanied the smile: "But we came all the way here, and we have an urgent matter to ask to see Lord Xiuchuan, and I hope that my brother will be considerate and help us report it, so I am really grateful." As he spoke, he grabbed the orc's hand and secretly stuffed a gold coin.

"Huh?" The orc sentry held up the gold coin in surprise, and looked at it again and again in front of him in the light of the fire, his eyes were full of surprise, and he shouted, "What is this?" Golden, hard, and patterned, it's so good-looking! Ermao, come over and help me take a look! ”

"Big head, this is a gold coin! The last time I saw it in Valen, it was worth a lot of money! You've made a fortune! ”

"Oh, such a rarity!"

"I just can't see any good land, I can't eat it and I can't use it......"

"Four worms, you're a fool! If this little thing is taken back to the village, it can buy more than a dozen acres of land! ”

The orc soldiers gathered in a group, chattering and chattering, and the excitement was palpable.

Corral was still smiling, but his smile had already stiffened. He didn't even dare to look back at his companions behind him, for fear of seeing each other's embarrassment. The dignified red-clothed flag officer wanted to bribe a small army commander who was not even an officer, which was humiliating enough, but the other party still shouted so loudly, and the red-clothed flag of Corral was going to dig a hole in the ground and get in.

"This thing," the sentry said, holding a gold coin. With a happy face, he asked, "Is it for me?" ”

"Of course, of course, with a little care, let's make friends."

"Then I'm welcome, thank you!" The sentry happily put the gold in his fur pocket and said honestly, "What a good man you are! I like you and I've decided to make friends with you! ”

"This ...... Can't...... What an honor it is! Corral's face was flushed, and he heard a desperately suppressed laugh from behind him, and he cursed in his heart.

"This brother, you see. Since we are all friends, can we be accommodating and reciprocate? ”

The orc smiled innocently: "No." It's the rule that you can't enter when it's dark – and neither can friends! ”

Corral's red-clad banner walked back with a blank face, and the orc sentry was still shouting, "Hey, Collar, where are you going?" I can't go into the camp, but I have a handful of hay here, and we're good friends, so I can let you sleep here for the night!" ”

"Poof!" Someone finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. The laughter seemed to be contagious, and the officers leaned back and forth with laughter. One by one couldn't straighten their waists. The Governor of Enron, Luo Mu, jumped out and said in a thick voice, "Colral, I like you!" ”

Corral didn't look back: "Get out!" ”

After a while, the governors gathered to discuss. What to do?

The easiest way to do this is to wait outside the camp for the night and wait until dawn before visiting the camp. But none of the governors were willing: what time is it! Now, 400,000 male soldiers in the Far East have opened the way, the orthodox imperial power of the Zichuan family has returned, and the governors of all places are vying to be the first to seize the imperial power of the Zichuan family. Expressing one's position one day earlier and one day later is related to his impression in front of Lord Xiuchuan! And I urgently asked to see him in the middle of the night, and it seemed that I rushed to the Xiuchuan Territory overnight to be sincere!

"Can't delay, if it's too late, Lord Xiuchuan will have to rest, and there will be no way to ask for a meeting when you go in." The Governor of the province of Stil, Pu Xin, the Red Banner, spoke up, "I'll try to negotiate with them." ”

Mortals always have a mentality, if they suffer a loss and lose their ugliness, he also hopes that others will follow and lose face once. As soon as Pu Xin's words fell, Corral immediately agreed: "Okay, this will bother Brother Pu Xin." ”

Everyone said, "Please, please! ”

Pu Xin nodded. He walked forward. The governors gathered in the back and saw him and the orc sentries muttering to each other, and took something out of their pockets to show the orc. The swaggering orc immediately stood in awe, saluted Pu Xin, and said loudly: "Your Excellency, please wait a moment, I will go and report!" ”

"I'm sorry for you." Pu Xin was still in that tepid tone.

The orcs staggered and went to report. The governors, who had intended to see the joke, looked at Pu Xin in surprise. It was a long time before someone said, "Pu Xin." How do you do it? Did you enchant them? ”

Pu Xin smiled, "Magic doesn't work. I just showed them Hidekawa-sama's letter. ”

"Hidekawa-sama's letter?" The governors looked at each other: "Pu Xin, are you familiar with Lord Xiuchuan?" ”

"When Lord Hidekawa took office as the commander of the Black Flag Army, I served as his assistant to the old man, and I am only where I am today because of his care."

Immediately, the governors' eyes were full of flattering taste as they looked at Pu Xin. Pu Xin was transferred from the commander of the Southeast Army to the governor of Shidi, and when he interacted with his colleagues, he was very low-key and inconspicuous, and everyone did not know that he still had this relationship.

Corral's face was full of smiles: "Brother Puxin, it's amazing! You have such a hard relationship, and you don't say half a word along the way, it's really calm! Now, the brothers are all up to you, and I hope to say a lot of good words when I see the Lord Xiuchuan! ”

"Exactly!" The governors all chimed in: "Brother Puxin, we have been friends all the way, and when you are prosperous, don't forget us!" ”

Pu Xin smiled: "Don't be kidding, everyone. Lord Xiuchuan is busy with the major matter of recovering the country and rebelling, and it would be good for his old man to take the time to see us, so don't think about other things. ”

"Yes, yes!" The governors agreed in unison: "It is worthy of the people around Xiuchuan to lead him, it makes too much sense!" ”

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the direction of the barracks, and a young officer rode his horse. In front of the patrol post. He dismounted and came to him and asked, "May I ask who is His Excellency the Governor of Pu Chin?" ”

Pu Xin stepped forward: "I am." Who are you, sir? ”

The officer had a delicate eyebrow, a gentle temperament, and a gentle voice: "I'm Ming Yu." I don't dare to call me an adult, just like Your Excellency, I am also a red-clothed flagbook. Welcome, Your Excellency Pu Hyme. ”

Mingyu Red Cloth Flag Book!

Looking at this young soldier who did not have any rank marks on his body, the governors did not even dare to breathe. They all know that the person in front of them is the commander of the Third Army in the Far East and the logistics chief of the Far East Army, and he is the number one person in the real power in the rebel army. Sending such a person to greet Pu Xin shows that the king of the Far East attaches great importance to Pu Xin.

"Governor Puhin. The adults heard that you were coming and wanted to see you, but they couldn't take a break from the meeting. Please come in with me. ”

Pu Xin was about to say yes, but someone behind him tugged at the corner of his clothes. When he turned around, the Governor of Collar was looking at him pitifully, and whispered, "Brother Pull! The governors who were with him looked at him with pleading eyes.

Pu Xin's heart softened, and he said to Ming Yu: "Lord Ming Yu, these are the governors of Enron, Sidi, Cannes and other provinces, and they arrived with me, and they are all loyal to the family. They also wanted to catch a glimpse of Hidekawa-sama. ”

Ming Yu glanced at everyone. He smiled faintly and said, "It turns out that you are all Governors, so I am disrespectful." ”

"Lord Mingyu, we have admired your name for a long time!"

"Lord Mingyu, we really admire the prestige of Lord Xiuchuan. Please introduce me on your behalf! ”

Ming Yu said unhurriedly: "Since you have come to our camp thousands of miles away, and you have been recommended by His Excellency Pu Xin, I think you must all be loyal and loyal to the family. It's just that it's too late tonight, so you'll be invited to the camp to rest, and I'll arrange for you to meet with Hidekawa-sama another day when you have a gap. What do you think? ”

Ming Yu said that it was a discussion, but the tone was indiscriminate. The governors shouted, "It's all up to you, my lord!" ”

So Ming Yu summoned the military reception steward and asked him to arrange the food and accommodation of the governor and his entourage. He smiled and clenched his fists and said, "Your Excellency has worked hard all the way, so please rest down first." I still have some mundane business to deal with over there, so I'll take my leave first. ”

The governors all stood up and said goodbye: "Don't dare, don't dare, Lord Mingyu, please take care of yourself." ”

Ming Yu led Pu Xin all the way towards the camp, and Pu Xin was a little reluctant: "It's already rude to disturb late at night." It's really a shame to cause trouble to Lord Mingyu. ”

Ming Yu smiled: "Brother Pu Xin-I have no problem calling you like this, right?" Everyone is of the same rank. You can also call me Ming Yu. ”

Pu Xin knew that this was the meaning of the other party's closeness, and said repeatedly: "Don't mind, don't mind, I'll be presumptuous!" ”

"Brother Pu Xin, you are the one who has followed Lord Xiuchuan, and you have a relationship with your lord." Ming Yu walked in front leisurely: "Some words seem a little presumptuous, and I am not afraid to speak deeply." Now let's get straight to the point. ”

Pu Xin's heart sank: "Please also ask my brother for advice!" ”

"Hmm. Brother Pu Chin. You are a sensible person, and the country is in an extraordinary time. The most taboo thing in the center is that the local gangs and factions are entangled, especially the governors of various places, whether it is His Highness Ning or adults, they don't like them to interact too closely in private - you know what I mean? Pu Xin, you are a person valued by Lord Xiuchuan, and if you come thousands of miles to vote, your adult will be very happy. You have a great future, and it's no fun to hang out with those guys. ”

Pu Xin was awe-struck and replied solemnly: "The golden and jade good words, Pu Xin has taken it to heart. Brother Tai is kind, grateful! ”

"Hehe, everyone is on an errand under Lord Xiuchuan, and it is appropriate to take care of each other." In front of a large tent that was bright and bright, Ming Yu stopped and turned his head to look at Pu Xin. In the firelight, his face was dark and very serious: "Remember, Pu Xin, you are a member of Lord Xiuchuan." ”

Pu Xin's heart sank. Ming Yu emphasized this point so blatantly, which made him feel that something was faintly inappropriate. Could it be that in the crusading army, there are still forces that can match Hidekawa-sama? His mind was spinning quickly, but he replied without hesitation: "It's natural!" I am hand-picked by Lord Meng Xiuchuan, and if I am not loyal to my lord, who am I still loyal to? ”

"Huh." Ming Yu smiled with satisfaction and took the lead in entering the tent, and Pu Xin followed in.

The tent was *** bright. A dozen candles lit up the whole tent as bright as day, and several officers gathered around the tent with a sand table and a map in front of the whispered discussion, speaking in a hurry, and Pu Xin could only hear a few fragmentary words:

“…… The amount of bright land is not enough to withstand ......"

“…… Just let them in......"

“…… We must first decide our attitude and firmly make our position clear to all parties on the mainland that the Zichuan family's counterinsurgency war does not need and will not allow other countries to intervene......"

In the midst of the staff officers, Pu Xin saw a silver-haired officer sitting quietly with his head bowed. He was dressed in civilian clothes without rank and insignia, and his silver white hair had obviously not been cut for a long time, and his long hair was messily covering his forehead, reflected in the firelight. The stubble on his cheeks is clearly visible.

Although he didn't wear any rank insignia, Pu Xin's eyes were drawn to him at first sight. This officer has an indescribable charismatic quality that makes people unforgettable at first sight.

"This veteran officer has an extraordinary temperament, and it is by no means ordinary." Pu Xin searched his mind for the Far Eastern generals he knew. Ming Yu himself has seen that Roger is a fierce general, and he does not have such an otherworldly temperament; Bai Chuan, Lin Bing and others are all women, and it is impossible. Could it be that this person is an elite general of the demon clan newly recovered by adults, such as Yun Qianxue, the general of Yulin? That's possible, though. Why is he wearing the uniform of the Zichuan family......

Pu Xin was thinking about it, when the officer looked up, his eyes were like lightning, but his eyes were still clear and bright. Pu Xin was shocked: this officer who he thought was quite old turned out to be Zi Chuanxiu himself!

But why is the twenty-six-year-old young man so white-haired?

Pu Xin was about to step forward to salute, but Zichuan Xiu made a gesture to him and motioned for him to sit down first. Thereupon. He found a chair in the corner and sat down, and after listening for a while, he realized that everyone was discussing the situation in the northwest.

"Minghui sent us an official letter, saying that the Flowing Wind and Frost troops have crossed the border into the northwest of our country, and their size is about three wings of nearly 10,000 people. Minghui sent someone to negotiate with her, but Liu Fengshuang said that she came to help our country put down the rebellion, and if anyone dared to stop it, she would be a rebellious accomplice. ”

Ming Yu whispered to Pu Xin, "Now." Minghui couldn't make up his mind, so he sent a message to our camp for instructions: Do you want to intercept them? His Royal Highness Ning has already entrusted this matter to us, Lord Xiuchuan, to decide. Everyone discussed here for a while, but to no avail. ”

Pu Xin glanced at Zi Chuanxiu and said softly, "Actually, does Minghui have the ability to stop the flow of wind and frost?" ”

Although his voice was soft, Shikawa Xiu had already heard it. He looked up. His eyes were blazing: "Pu Xin." You continue. ”

"Yes. My lord, when the enemy enters the country, he immediately resists and fights back. This is the iron discipline of the family army, and there is no need to ask for instructions at all. But Minghui sent such an official letter - the lower official suspected that he was powerless and did not dare to resist, but he did not dare to assume the responsibility of indulging the entry of the Liufeng army, so he simply sent a letter asking for instructions. If His Highness agrees to the entry of the Flowing Wind Army to quell the rebellion, it will naturally be the best; If His Highness orders him to stop it, this trip to the northwest frontier is far away, and it will take at least a month for the messenger to go back and forth. At that time, Minghui could excuse himself by saying that the order came too late, and the Liufeng family had already crossed the defensive line, and it was too late to resist now. ”

"Oh!" The staff officers let out a surprised exclamation: "Could it be so?" ”

"Ten out of ten, that's it." Pu Xin shook his head: "You are all upright soldiers, this is no longer a matter of military strategy, but a trick of the magistrate to deceive the superiors and subordinates, you have never served in the local government, and it is normal to not see it." Xiaguan, I'm sorry, I also served as a governor, so I know a little about these methods. ”

The tent was silent, the staff officers stared at Pu Xin, and no one spoke. "Pursin is right." The person who spoke was Zichuan Xiu, the commander of the Far East, and he sighed: "Illumination's temperament, he is capable of doing this kind of thing. ”

"My lord, you should draft an edict for His Royal Highness Dai Ning, and in the name of His Highness, severely reprimand the Northwest Commander!"

Zi Chuanxiu shook his head slowly and said with a wry smile: "I'll think about this matter again." It's getting late, let's all go back and rest. ”

At the end of the meeting, the staff officers dispersed. When he went out, Shikawa Xiu glanced at Pu Xin, who followed knowingly, and the two walked side by side on the road in the middle of the camp.

"Pu Xin. Long time no see. Under the silver moonlight, Zi Chuanxiu looked at his old subordinates: "I haven't seen you for so long, you look older." ”

The chief, who had not seen him for a long time, opened with such a conversation, and Pu Xin felt very warm. Looking at Zi Chuanxiu's white hair, he was full of emotion, and finally could only say a plain sentence: "My lord, although the state affairs are dangerous, you also have to take care of your health." Lord Sterling has already gone, Lord Minghui has the first two ends of the rat, if you have any accidents. What about the family? ”

"Do what you have to do. In this world, it's tiring enough to be alive, and it's too hard to worry about even what happens after death. ”

Pu Xin looked at Zichuan Xiu in surprise. He has known Zichuan Xiu for several years, from the high-spirited southwest commander to the resolute and resolute army commander during the Battle of Bataan, he has never seen Zichuan Xiu so negative, and in the other party's faint tone, there is an indescribable vicissitudes and indifference.

"When was the last time I saw you?" Zichuan Xiu asked casually.

Pu Xin replied seriously: "My lord." That was the year before last. At that time, you led the Far Eastern Army back to the mainland to participate in the Battle of Bataan, and at that time I was still serving in the Southeastern Army, and I came to meet you on the orders of Lord Stirling. We are in the provincial capital of Bartley......"

"I remember." Zi Chuanxiu nodded, and he looked up at the dark and deep sky above his head: "At that time, Sterling was still the head of your Southeast Army. Just like you and I now, I also discussed the decisive battle against the Demon God Emperor with him overnight......"

Although Zi Chuanxiu looked at Pu Xin, the latter could feel that the other party's eyes had penetrated his body and the endless military array. Finally, he landed at the end of the sky, his eyes were always searching, looking for the figure that had disappeared from this world, and finally, he sighed softly: "At that moment, it seems like yesterday." ”

Pu Xin was silent. He knew that the friendship between Shikawa Xiu and Sterling was deep, but he couldn't understand that the relationship between these three men was by no means a simple word "friendship" could be described. That emotion has been integrated into the blood and bone marrow, like limbs connected, to cut this, it will leave a bloody wound.

"Pu Xin, you've been serving in the province of Stilco for the past few years, right? What's going on over there? ”

"The situation is good! Since the news of your march spread, the hearts of the military and civilians in our province have been greatly boosted. Everyone said. Now that Lord Xiuchuan has marched, then Dilin's rebellion is almost over. The military and civilians of our province are determined to unite. Support the king with the greatest amount of rebellion! ”

"Well, I'm afraid it's not the truth, right?" Although Zi Chuanxiu's words were light, they startled Pu Xin. He hurriedly argued: "My lord, King Qin's rebellion is what the people want." The king is invincible, and all the people rejoice to welcome the army, which is a natural thing! ”

Zichuan Xiu smiled, but said, "I heard that there are also governors of several surrounding provinces who came with you?" ”

"Yes. They are ......"

"The Governor is here, and where is the Provincial Governor?" Zi Chuanxiu smiled: "Is it there for Di Lin?" ”

Pu Xin was dumbfounded and stammered, "The governor of Shidi stayed in this province to deal with it...... Our province has absolutely no intention of colluding with Dilin! ”

Zichuan Xiu patted him on the shoulder: "I know you don't." But they ......" Zi Chuan Xiu sighed: "The governors of other provinces, they probably bet on the ground from two ends, right?" The governor came to me to show his loyalty, and the governor went to Dilin's side, and as long as he concealed it well, no matter which one of me or Dilin won, they would be able to survive safely. ”

Pu Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he realized why Ming Yu had shown contempt and disdain for those governors, intentionally or unintentionally, when they met. It stands to reason that at this time, the Far Eastern Army should try its best to win over these local powerful factions.

"My lord, the Far Eastern army is like a bamboo, with the prestige of the army, it is easy to eliminate the Dilin bandits, and at this time they still have to collude with Dilin, it is really stupid!"

"They're not stupid, they're safe. We have the advantage, but Dilin should not be underestimated. The military situation changes in an instant, and it is not impossible to turn the tables. Regardless of whether the Zichuan family can successfully restore the country or Di Lin usurps the world, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people and consolidate the rule, they must use gentle means to appease the place, then their goal will be achieved. ”

As he spoke, Zi Chuanxiu's eyes flashed: "In this war, whether His Royal Highness Ning regains the world or Di Lin successfully ascends the throne, the local power will definitely rise." If the new chief fails to handle it properly, the secession of Zhenbo will become a major disaster for the country. ”

Pu Xin was awe-struck by this, and suddenly felt funny: Isn't this loyal and good courtier in front of him, who is righteous and awe-inspiring and bent on thinking about the country, himself the leader of the largest "suppression"? If we talk about secession, which other force in the family is more "divided" than the Far East?

Seeing Pu Xin's serious expression, Zichuan Xiuxing: "Don't be so nervous, I don't suspect you when I say these things - if I suspect you, I won't tell you this." Pu Xin, how are you preparing for the war over there? ”

"Ever since I heard that His Highness Ning had issued a proclamation in the Far East, the province of Sdia had begun to prepare for war. It's just that our province is poor in material resources, and although we tried our best, we still only prepared 30,000 people with food and grass for three months. In addition, our province has also organized a reserve militia of 50,000 people - because of the lack of time, they are not yet useful, but they can still be used as civilian people. In terms of military affairs, our province has a garrison army division and a special brigade, which can be dispatched and dispatched by adults. ”

"Very well, Pu Xin, you have a heart."

"This is the duty of the lower officials, and I don't dare to praise it as an adult."

Zi Chuanxiu looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "It's not too early, you should be tired after a day's journey, so let's rest early." In two days, the base camp will be moved forward to the capital of Bartley, where the royal divisions of the designated provinces are assembled. Your army in the province of Stild has been prepared for a long time, and it may come in handy when the time comes. ”

"Yes, my lord."
