In the early morning of September 1, 86, in the central square of the Valen Fortress, the morning mist appeared in the morning light of the soldiers and horses standing like a forest.

Zi Chuanning, who was in a black cloak, walked through the passage in the middle of the military formation. In the morning light, the dim swords, the armor, the black eagle battle flags fluttering in the morning breeze, the dark, deep faces of the soldiers.

Zi Chuanning felt that it was difficult to breathe, and her heart was pounding violently. She looked at the soldiers in front of her in awe, the men in front of her, who had conquered the powerful demon kingdom, the fierce army of the Far East, and the murderous aura condensed by thousands of miles of battles, just the array could give people heavy pressure.

A high platform was erected in the middle of the square, and the commander of the Far East, Zichuan Xiu, and a group of generals were waiting for her under the stage. Watching Zi Chuanning calmly pass through the army formation, the generals nodded approvingly. The momentum and power of the 30,000-strong army are unimaginable without personal experience. can keep calm and pass through this sky-high murderous aura, Zi Chuanning is worthy of being a tiger girl.

When they approached the side, all the Far Eastern generals bowed to Zichuan Ning. Zi Chuanning nodded slightly in return, the first time she experienced such a big scene, her feet were still trembling slightly.

"Your Highness, please come to the stage." Zi Chuanxiu approached, stretched out his hand to help Zi Chuanning, and whispered, "Don't be nervous." We're all supporting, Anin! His Highness Sanxing, Sterling, Qin Lu, Wenhe - they are also supporting! ”

Hearing the long-lost title of "A-Ning", Zi Chuanning's heart surged with a hot current. How long has it been? He never called himself that again. She stared deeply at the man in front of her: "Brother Axiu, with you, I'm not afraid." ”

Zi Chuanxiu smiled softly, and his smile was indescribably gentle. appeared on the parade ground where 30,000 soldiers and horses gathered, and appeared on this parade ground full of iron-blooded sword and sword, and it was indescribably coordinated. made Zi Chuanning look stupid for a while.

"Your Highness, please hurry up and come to the stage." Li Qing's whispered urging came from behind him, and Zi Chuanning came to his senses: this is not the big lawn of the imperial capital's own manor. She calmed down, and suddenly felt much calmer and calmer.

She ascended the high platform. The meeting hall where 30,000 troops had gathered was so quiet that even the sound of the morning breeze could be heard. The soldiers watched with bated breath at the delicate woman on the high platform, behind her, the bright red sun was rising on the horizon, and the woman's upright figure had melted into the morning light.

"Soldiers," a crisp female voice echoed over the empty square, her voice trembling slightly at first, but the tremor quickly faded away. The voice became smooth and calm: "Soldiers of the Far East Legion of the Zichuan Family, I am speaking to you!" I am also speaking to you, the soldiers of the Central Army, the Expeditionary Force, the Border Guards, the Duolun Lake Fleet, and the Vanne River Fleet! All the people of the Shikawa family, all those who are loyal to the family banner, I am addressing you! I am Zichuan Ning, the contemporary chief of the Zichuan family. I'm talking to you! ”

It was as if a stone had been thrown into a calm pond, and an invisible commotion arose in the sea of soldiers. Shock and confusion echoed in the sea of soldiers like ripples, and whispers rang out: "That woman, she said she was His Highness Ning!" ”

Then. The Far Eastern Commander, who had been standing silently behind Zi Chuanning, took two steps forward, without saying a word, and looked down at the audience with a stern gaze. Immediately, the chatter and whispering ceased in an instant. The soldiers stood as quietly as a forest, and 30,000 people gathered at the venue. It was as quiet as a barren mountain and a wild forest.

Looking at Zi Chuan Xiu in surprise, Zi Chuan Ning couldn't believe his eyes. The heroic silver-haired general in front of him is completely different from the gentle and considerate Zichuan Xiu in his impression. "For the sake of the general, you need to have inviolable majesty!" - Without a doubt. That handsome boy has now grown into a real celebrity!

Zi Chuanning looked at Zi Chuanxiu's back, and her eyes slowly moistened. When he was a child, when the mob stormed into his room, it was this back who silently kept vigil for himself until dawn; Facing the sharp blades of the assassins, it was the same back that stood in front of him. Now, when his country is ruined, it is still this back that stands up. He is like a towering mountain, shielding himself from all the wind and rain in the world.

Seeing that order had been restored, Zi Chuanning took a step back, still standing behind Zi Chuanning, and said, "Your Highness, you can continue." ”

Zi Chuanning nodded and took a step forward: "Soldiers, I'll tell you the truth, the truth that the rebels are trying to cover up!" ”

was finally able to tell the truth in public, and Zi Chuanning was excited. She told the crowd that on the night of January 1, 786, the supreme ruling body of the Zichuan family was besieged and attacked. And it was not Luo Minghai who committed this kind of rebellious behavior, but Di Lin, the chief inspector of the Zichuan family.

"Who would have thought that? The Supervision Department, which was supposed to uphold discipline and eliminate evil, turned into a rebellious group! Zi Chuanning said, calm and angry: "Di Lin, but a small boy, my father Yuanxing is valued, and he is specially promoted to stand out from the ranks, and His Royal Highness Shenxing trusts his grace to the extreme, and entrusts the vital department." In less than thirty, he became a leader of the family, and such a grace is rare in the history of the family. Even if there is only half a conscience in the bottom of people's hearts, they should be grateful for it and repay it with loyalty! But how did Di Lin repay the family? Nothing else, only bloody hands!

"He murdered His Highness Samxing, murdered Chief Luo Minghai, murdered His Excellency Qin Lu, and murdered His Excellency Pigu! How mad is this man? Even the sworn brothers who had sworn with him and saved his life many times did not let go, and in Wangdu Ling, the gendarmes of the Supervision Department brazenly attacked Stirling and killed him!

"Your Excellency Sterling, you have been loyal to your country all your life, selfless and fearless. In the war to resist the invasion of demons and defend human civilization, he has made many feats and can be called the mainstay! He is not only the hero of our Zichuan family, but also the hero of all mankind! Such a person did not die at the hands of the demons, did not die in battle against the enemy's external threats, but fell under a despicable conspiracy, and died at the hands of a sworn brother whom he once trusted wholeheartedly! Is there anything worse than the injustice in the world? ”

As Zi Chuanning said, although the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army lack a sense of loyalty to the family, many soldiers regard Stirling, a famous family general, as an idol. I heard that he died at the hands of his sworn brother. The audience was in an uproar.

Zichuan Ning solemnly raised his hand: "My identity, the commander of the Far Eastern Army, Xiuchuan and all the adults can prove it for me!" With the honor of the Zichuan family, what I said today is true. And this lady, she is His Excellency Li Qinghong, the widow of His Excellency Sterling. She also escaped from the rebels with me through hardship, and she can prove my words. ”

The Far Eastern Commander on the high platform nodded solemnly.

Li Qing also stood on the high platform. She looked at everyone, and her eyes showed deep sadness: "Everyone, I am Li Qing. Here I want to take Sterling's wife

, the identity of a military wife, to say a few words to everyone.

"At that time. I couldn't believe it when I heard the news of Sterling's death – and I still can't believe it. Sterling often sent troops to release horses, was wounded and died in battle, I was not without psychological preparation, being a soldier is indispensable to eat food, and no matter how big an officer is, he cannot guarantee safety. And Sterling isn't the kind of guy who gets used to hiding behind. He always likes to be at the front.

"To tell you from the heart, I'm a little complaining, he has become the commander of the military affairs department, why bother to fight like a big soldier? He said. Li Qing, after all, I have experienced many years of battlefield, and I have also practiced martial arts, and my skills are better than ordinary people. If I kill one more demon, I might be able to save the life of one of my soldiers. I rushed ahead and took some risks. It's worth it! ”

As he spoke, Li Qing burst into tears, and his poignant voice echoed in the venue: "If it is a demon who harms Sterling's life." is a member of the Liufeng family, if he dies on the battlefield, then there is nothing to say, the general will inevitably die in battle, who makes him inferior to others?

"But this time was different. I was told that that night, Stirling hurried back to the imperial capital without even bringing the guards in order to save Dilin. It was none other than his sworn brother who posted the false news to trick Sterling out of Dark's barracks! The place where he lost his life was not the battlefield, but the barren mountains and forests outside the Wangdu Mausoleum, and the gendarmes killed him with crossbow arrows! It's murder! Naked murder!

"That beast, after killing Sterling, he planted the blame on the murdered Luo Minghai, in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots so that the world can never know the truth, he did not even let go of me, the surviving person, and sent countless spies and gendarmes to hunt us down, determined to kill us! Is there a more ungrateful and despicable person in the world? The sky is above, he used to call me brother and sister again and again!

"Sterling, who has served the country and the people all his life, does not deserve this! That night, I swore an oath, but there was one breath left, and I would get justice for Sterling! But the family has been controlled by the rebels, and the patriarchs will be afraid of the treacherous forces and will be silent. I, the surviving person, have nowhere to redress this heinous injustice. Is there no justice or righteousness in the world? I don't believe it!

"Ladies and gentlemen, like my husband, you are also soldiers of the family, and you are my husband's comrades and siblings. The late husband was unfortunately murdered, his widow was hunted down and killed, except for the Far Eastern Army, I am a weak woman, there is no way to ask for help! I beg you, I beg you to do justice, to uphold justice, to punish the wicked, so that Sterling will not die without turning a blind eye! ”

As he spoke, Li Qing knelt down on the high platform and prostrated in front of the soldiers, crying silently: "Please! ”

The entire venue was so quiet that no sound could be heard at all, and the soldiers were tightly attracted by Li Qing's slightly crying narration, and listened intently with bated breath. The soldiers did not have a high level of consciousness or wisdom, but what they valued most was righteousness and comradeship, and what they admired was heroic and heroic. They were not interested in slogans such as "Loyal to the family and restore the old capital", but the murder of his sworn brother - and the beloved General Stirling - and his murder of his weak wife - was really intolerable in the eyes of these strong-blooded soldiers!

Seeing Li Qingying kneeling, an innocent and innocently chased and killed weak woman kneeling in front of her, crying like pear blossoms and rain, the simple chivalrous liver and gall in the hearts of the soldiers were suddenly stimulated, their eyes were red, their nostrils were angry and angry, and their eyes were staring at the people on the high platform.

Silence, deathly silence.

Suddenly, a voice suddenly exploded in the queue: "The men of the Far East are not bad breeds, we are not afraid of Dilin!" Master Li Qing, let's help! ”

It was as if a torch had been thrown into a powder keg, and a fierce atmosphere erupted. Countless voices shouted, and the voices were chaotic: "Kill that beast!" ”

"There's no humanity anymore!"

"I'm so angry I can't stand it!"

The crowd was full of voices, and the orderly parade ground was in chaos, and someone shouted at the high platform: "Lord Xiuchuan." What are you waiting for, take us back to Dillin! ”

Zi Chuanxiu on the high platform just stood silently and did not come out to drink quietly, while the generals in front of the high platform and the officers in the middle of the team also remained silent. In the face of this chaos, everyone seems to be deliberately letting it go.

Lin Bing, deputy marshal of the Far Eastern Army, quickly stepped onto the stage. Helped up Li Qing: "Lord Qing, don't worry, this matter is incumbent on our Far East Army!" ”

Wiping his tears, Li Qing choked up and said, "There is Master Lao." Facing the soldiers under the high platform, she bowed deeply: "Thank you, thank you all from the bottom of my heart!" ”

"As it should be, Lord Qing doesn't have to be polite!" Lin Bing turned to the audience and said loudly, "Brothers. The Dilin group controlled the imperial capital, and they had just defeated the Lin family and forced the Lin family to sign an alliance under the city, and the family's northwest commander, His Excellency Minghui, was afraid of power and actually agreed with the position of the rebels. The demon king with bloody hands, the murderer of the king and his brother, can look around, he happily thought. There is no more righteous heart and courage in the world, and there is no more loyal and righteous person, his crimes and atrocities can go unpunished, but can be added to the yellow robe and enjoy the glory! Brethren. Can we say yes? ”

"Can't!" The angry shouts of 30,000 people were like muffled thunder, and they rushed onto the high platform, and the powerful sound waves shook the ground and the floor under Zi Chuanning's feet trembled slightly. Zi Chuanning was so dizzy from the shock that he stood still.

"Exactly!" Lin Bing was impassioned, and her loud voice echoed in every corner of the venue: "Let Di Lin be proud, and let him be arrogant!" He forgot that fifty years ago, it was the Far Easterners who held back the 300,000 rebellious border guards outside the imperial capital! He also forgot that two years ago, he was also a Far Eastern warrior who blocked the iron hooves of the armored beast and shot down the crown on the head of the Demon God Emperor!

"Showing the sky, there is its own axioms, and justice is in the hearts of the people. The bureaucrats and aristocrats were greedy for life and death, succumbed to power, and for the sake of their own property and power, they were silent and fell with the wind, but in the Far East, such a misfortune would not exist! In the Far East, what we have is blood, courage and righteousness, and the men of the Far East will never stand idly by to a traitor like Di Lin, who has lost his conscience, and is so despicable that he is simply not worthy of being called a human and an animal! ”

Lin Bing's face turned red with excitement, she suddenly turned to face Zi Chuanning, and said loudly: "Your Highness, the Far Eastern Army is here waiting for your order!" ”

"I understand!" Zichuan Ning was calm, but tears still couldn't be suppressed from his eyes. She tried her best to suppress the tremor in her voice, and tried to say calmly: "Your Excellency Zichuan Xiu, the commander of the Far East, as the head of the Zichuan family, I order you to immediately lead the Far Eastern troops into the customs to crusade against the rebel group headed by Di Lin, put down the rebellion, restore order, and restore the glory of the Eagle Banner!" ”

Zi Chuan Xiu glanced at Zi Chuan Ning silently, and then, he flicked his cloak back and knelt down gracefully: "Wei Chen respectfully obeys Jun's order, Your Highness." May follow your banner, long live the family! ”

"May I follow Your Highness, long live the family!" Following behind Zichuan Xiu, the people of the Far Eastern Army

One by one, he knelt down in front of Zi Chuan Ning. The strong wind blowing from the steppes of the Far East shook the cloaks on the generals, flying up and down like a flock of flying goshawks.

The enthusiastic cheers and applause of the audience rang out, like the wheat waves blown down by the wind, the soldiers knelt down neatly one after another, and countless voices converged into a loud echo: "May I follow His Highness, long live the family!" ”

Thousands of soldiers knelt down in front of the beautiful girl in a overwhelming manner, and Zi Chuanning's heart was surging. She saw thousands of troops, she saw the iron horse Jingo, she saw countless black eagle battle flags fluttering in the wind in the city, she saw many familiar faces smiling at her, those who were alive and dead, at this moment, their smiles were burning and shining, shining with moving light.

"Uncle, I'm back!"

On September 1, 786, a thunderbolt shook the entire continent in shock: Zichuan Ning, the long-missing head of the Zichuan family, finally appeared in the Far East. In the Valen Fortress, she publicly inspected the elite troops of the Far East, such as the Far Eastern Xiuzi Battalion and the Orc Ironclad Army, and issued a text against the rebellion. In the text, Zi Chuan Ning, in the name of the head of the Zi Chuan family, declared the Supervision Office and the gendarmerie force headed by Di Lin to be a rebel organization, and declared that from now on, all their actions will be illegal.

In the text, Zi Chuanning completely revealed his demeanor and bearing as the leader of a big country. She said: "The Ombudsman and the Gendarmerie Corps were supposed to defend the elite of the family. However, he was mistaken by treachery and went astray. Among the rebels, most of them are family children, and many of them have paid and shed blood for the Eagle Banner. You are deceived by your superiors and act according to orders. Rebellion is not your intention. I am a king, I can punish and forgive, I hereby declare that in addition to the rebels such as Dilin, Gopra, and Jinxi, as well as the Supervision Department and the military police, as long as you wake up and change your past mistakes, the family will not be guilty of the past. No accountability. If you can fight back and make a great contribution, the family will not hesitate to reward the marquis! ”

As soon as the text was circulated, it caused a great sensation. The spokesman of the Supervision Department immediately refuted the rumors, saying that this was a rumor, and His Royal Highness Zi Chuanning was still in the Imperial Capital Governor's Mansion. To prove it. They organized a group of well-known experts, scholars, and dignitaries to visit Zi Chuanning in the governor's palace, and then came out to make a statement in the newspaper to prove that Zi Chuanning was indeed still there.

But this approach does not deceive people. The people's hearts are bright, everyone said. If His Royal Highness is still alive, he only needs to arrange a public meeting for her to appear and speak, and the rumors will naturally be self-defeating. This is the simplest and most effective method, but the Office of the Inspector General of the Inspectorate does not dare to use it, but instead coerces a group of celebrities to go on a visit. This is clearly that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, and the Supervision Office is a thief, which proves the authenticity of the document.

The Office of the Ombudsman has taken various measures. Ordering a ban on the dissemination of the inscriptions, they sent countless spies to the people to eavesdrop on the conversations of the common people, set up checkpoints on the roads, put up lists to intimidate, erect dense gallows in the cities, and execute the people who dared to discuss in private. But these measures are like watering a forest fire with a small spoon, and they are completely useless. From Valen to Danya, from the imperial capital to the blue city, from the Vanne River to the Langcang River, all over the city and countryside, large and small towns and villages, almost every city on the streets, walls, lampposts, and gates, everywhere posted with the national seal of the Zichuan family. Although the gendarmes tore it every day, the next morning countless leaflets and leaflets had sprung up, and no one knew where they came from. The spread of the text is like a fire burning the wilderness, burning the prairie everywhere, everywhere, word of mouth, and everyone knows it.

A month later, the Office of Inspectors had to admit that it had completely failed in its efforts to ban the dissemination of information.

"It's time to know, everybody knows." Bai Xia reluctantly reported: "Even the deaf old man in the most remote village, he knows that we are rebels." No matter how much we do now, it's useless – no, it's the opposite. The more we strictly prohibit it, the more the people will pay attention to this matter and the more vigorously it will be disseminated. Your Highness, Zichuan Ning was able to spread the text throughout the country in just three weeks, and this was not just due to the spontaneous dissemination of the common people. We suspect that there are some big forces behind this that are organizing and promoting this. ”

"What do you mean......" Ever since he knew that Zi Chuan Ning had appeared, Di Lin had maintained a cold expression: "Far Eastern Commander?" ”

"The Far Eastern Commander must have intervened in this matter, and Zi Chuanning was able to make a public appearance in the Valen Fortress, which in itself speaks to the attitude of the Far Eastern Army. But relying on the Far East Intelligence Bureau of the White River Land alone, they can't do it so neatly and neatly, so we can't even track it down - Your Highness, it's not that we are arrogant, just the rookies of the Far East Intelligence Bureau from head to toe, their ability is at most to find out the price of cabbage in the farmers' market. Moreover, the scope of the Far Eastern Intelligence Agency's activities is limited to the southeast, and they are beyond the reach of the northwest and southwest. Liu Fengshuang, Minghui, the Lin family, and the Senate, there must be someone in these forces who is secretly helping Zi Chuanning spread the news. It's just that we are still investigating who did it and who is secretly working against us......"

"There's no need to look it up." Di Lin looked at the blue sky outside the window, and his voice was faint: "It's pointless to find out." He said bitterly, "I already knew that there would be such a day: the world is my enemy." Get ready for war! ”

Zichuan Ningdi's writing not only caused great shock and repercussions among the people, but also caused a considerable sensation in the political and military circles. After Bartley, the second province of Dama, near the exit of the Far Eastern Valen Fortress, set a shining example for the world, when the governor and governor of the province mutinied, eliminated the military police stationed in the Inspectorate, and openly declared their refuge in the Far East.

The third change of banner in Kaige Province announced that he would leave the Supervision Department and return to the Zichuan Imperial Power.

Like a domino toppled down, the chain reaction that the Ombudsman had been fearing for a long time finally happened, and the three northeastern provinces of Bit and Ankara in the northeast region openly changed their banners. In the war against the demons that year, these three provinces were originally recovered by the Far Eastern Army. Although Zichuan Shenxing removed their governor and governor that year. However, in these provinces, many local officials were held by former Far Eastern officers, and Zichuan Xiu's orders had considerable influence on them.

In the southeastern provinces, where the situation has not yet changed, the situation continues to deteriorate. Seventeen provincial and local supervision offices have reported that the situation has become quite dire. They could no longer control the situation, and neither the Ombudsman nor the gendarmes dared to leave the camp in uniform. Not only are the common people hostile to the gendarmes and prosecutors, but the governments and garrisons in various localities, who have been subservient to the Inspectorate since the incident, have now become ambiguous.

The inspectors stationed in the eleven provinces urgently appealed to the imperial capital for help, requesting that they have additional gendarmerie units in their jurisdictions. Because there are unexplained abnormal movements in both the garrison and the government. They suspected that the other side was in collusion with the Far Eastern Army, and if the number of gendarmerie units could not be increased as soon as possible. It is not enough to deter the local government and the garrison.

Responsible for the suppression of the Bartley rebellion

The leader sent back a message asking for help, since Zi Chuanning issued a message, the number of surrounding areas has been anyway, and even the Oshang Province, the base camp of the crusading army, has fluctuated, and has been attacked by unknown forces one after another. Imashi pleaded with a strong force to sustain his rear, saying: "Now the Oss army is no longer reliable. You can't trust to hand over the granary to them for defense. In addition, the morale of his troops has plummeted, and their combat strength has weakened alarmingly, and if no new troops join. He really didn't have the confidence to go on the attack.

However, these requests for help were all rejected by Dillin. It's not that he doesn't think these reports are important, but he really can't muster the troops.

It would be unreasonable to say that Di Lin had no army in his hands. Right now. In the Imperial Capital Military Region, there were 130,000 troops. But unfortunately, there are less than 30,000 reliable troops that really belong to the supervision department, and they are responsible for monitoring nearly 100,000 Zichuan troops. And these troops, under the inspiration of Zichuan Ning's order, are already quite unstable.

Although the Office of the Ombudsman has dealt with the Wenhe case expeditiously, tensions have not been alleviated by the purge and discontent is rising in the military. Many officers and soldiers were sympathizers of Zi Chuanning. Zi Chuan Ning, her beauty and fame are reminiscent of those legendary princesses who were forced into exile by traitors and usurped power - although in the legend, those princesses and princes in exile always have to be killed in the end, but this does not prevent everyone's love for this beautiful princess. These lowest-ranking soldiers, out of a simple sense of justice and a sense of right and wrong, resented a man who had murdered his lord and a sworn brother, and the murdered man was still General Stirling, who had always been respected in the army. It's one thing to be shameless in private, but no one would like to serve under a notorious landlord.

Although those bribed literati were always shouting for the superiority of strength, in the hearts of most officers and soldiers, the word "Zichuan" still represented orthodoxy. From the time of the grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, the Shikawa family began to rule, and it is believed that the existence of the family is as eternal as the sun, moon and stars. Although it has suffered heavy losses, the Zichuan family cannot be subverted. Since the Zichuan family can't collapse, then Di Lin will definitely be unlucky, and those who follow Di Lin will also be unlucky. It doesn't take a lot of wisdom for the soldiers to figure it out.

Moreover, I heard that Lord Xiuchuan, the commander of the Far East, has already stood on the side of His Royal Highness Ning to ask for King Qin. Although the military police and military judges in the army are propagating that the Far Eastern Army is so poor that they cannot even afford to equip themselves with armor and weapons, everyone should not worry at all. But everyone remembers that on the battlefield of Bataan that year, the Far Eastern Army shook the Demon God Emperor Guards Brigade head-on for a day and a night, and would rather die than retreat. Although the soldiers of the Far East were poorly armed, their bravery was astounding. No one wants to be the enemy of such an opponent.

Now, the soldiers of the imperial capital are privately discussing how to deal with this catastrophe. In many rank-and-file units, soldiers make private agreements with officers. The soldiers pledged not to fire cold arrows at the officer on the battlefield and not to stab him in the back; The officer promised that he would not prevent the soldiers from fleeing and surrendering in the event of a battle with the Far Eastern Army—of course, a few pretentious shouts were required, otherwise the officer would not be able to explain to the gendarmerie inspectors, but he would not do it. Of course, if everyone surrenders to the Far East, the soldiers will also have to prove to the Far East Army that the officers are not really on the side of Dilin.

The Inspectorate is also well aware of the centrifugal situation in the military. Gopra, who was in charge of military affairs, reported to the Supervision Office, and he said frankly: "At least seventy percent of the officers and soldiers are unreliable, and forty percent of them are on the side of the Zichuan family." As for how many people are genuinely supportive of us. In my opinion, two percent of them don't. To straighten them out - IMHO, it's easier to disband them all and rebuild. ”

There was an uproar in the audience, and everyone thought that it would not work according to the Gopradi approach. Not to mention the cost and materials consumed, a big war may break out at any time, how can there be time to retrain the troops?

Gopra insisted on his opinion: "An unreliable army is worse than no army!" ”

"No matter how unreliable an army is, it is better than being empty-handed!" Zi Chuanning issued a message, the Far Eastern Army and the Northwest Army may attack at any time, and we must face an east-west attack - at this time, any more strength is a matter of life and death! ”

After an argument and a quarrel, everyone always has to compromise. At this meeting, the Supervision Department drew up an outline plan for building the army this year, the main contents of which include the reorganization of five new divisions. These included one cavalry division and four infantry divisions, all of which belonged to the gendarmerie sequence. At the same time as the formation of the new military area, the Supervision Office plans to streamline and reduce the huge force of 150,000 troops of the 21 divisions of the original expeditionary force, with the ultimate goal of reducing it to 50,000 men in six divisions.

At the same time, the Inspectorate must be prepared to meet the Orc legions coming from the southeastern land route and the cavalry groups rolling in from the northwestern plains.

Dilin stood up. The body is calm and powerful, and the deep eyes emit a sharp light: "Everyone, the road ahead is already a desperate situation, and the only way to fight to the death is to fight!" ”

The officers stood up. In unison, he replied: "I wish to follow His Highness until death!" ”

On 10 September, the Inspectorate's spies stationed in Valen reported a steady flow of long convoys of grain, grass and baggage from all the provinces of the Far East. Orc troops from all over the country were rushing to the fortress day and night, and the clamor of new arrivals could be heard in the square in the center of the fortress every day.

On 11 September, Commander Minghui expelled the military judges and gendarmes stationed in the Ombudsman's Office. All contact with OIOS has been severed. More than 100,000 field troops distributed on the long front of the defense of the Liufeng family began to shrink, and the nobles' private soldiers from all over the northwest received orders to assemble at the headquarters of the Northwest Frontier Army.

On September 14, 786, Lin Rui, the patriarch of the Lin family, issued a statement in Heqiu, saying that the Lin family and the orthodox imperial power of the Zichuan family had a deep friendship for many years, and the two countries had always been friendly. Now seeing that Miss Zichuan Ning, the royal family of the Zichuan family, was forced into exile in the Far East by rebellion, Uncle Lin Rui, who had a strong sense of justice, really couldn't stand it anymore. He said that although the Lin family had just experienced a tragic war and suffered great losses, the brave children of the Lin family would never stand idly by in this great showdown between justice and evil.

"As long as His Royal Highness Ning says a word, 100,000 elites of the Lin family will be invited, go up the Lancang River to the imperial capital, and assist Zichuan in eradicating the rebellion!"

On September 13, 786, Marshal Liufeng Shuang issued a statement in Blue City, saying that Di Lin killed the king with his ministers, and this kind of behavior was intolerable. The marshal himself and the Zichuan family once fought side by side against the demons, and they had a deep comradeship. As a person with a strong sense of justice, the marshal said that he was willing to lend a helping hand at the right time and assist the Zichuan family in eradicating the scum - compared to Lin Ruilai, it was more straightforward, and even the step of the Zichuan family's invitation was omitted. Of course, if someone thinks that Liufeng Shuang is ill-intentioned and robbed by taking advantage of the fire, it is definitely his psychological filth and spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

do

It's a big difference between being clear and not being clear. Previously, everyone knew that Emperor Du covered his eyes and pretended not to see it, but as soon as Zichuan Ning's text came out, Di Lin was like a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him. Lin Rui, Liufeng Shuang and other powerful warlords not to mention, even Liufeng Qing and Liu Fengming, who were pressed and beaten by Liufeng Forest on the coast of Jiaxi thousands of miles away, came out and shouted a few times, saying that Di Lin ignored the monarch and the minister Dalun and committed a heinous crime, which really deserved death, and the two of them also had to send troops to crusade against Yunyun - in fact, they were just advertising to earn prestige, and the world forgot that there were two small princes on the mainland.

Time rolled into October of 786. There was calm everywhere, and even the province of Bartley was now in a truce, but from Valen to the imperial capital, from the southeast to the northwest, from the Guqi Mountains to Lake Duolun, the experienced subjects of the Zichuan family could feel that the current tranquility was nothing more than the calm before the arrival of the unprecedented storm, and the air was filled with the unique aura of the pre-war period, which was so rich that it was suffocating.

November 7, 786, dusk. Under the blood-red sunset, a sweaty messenger rushed into the east gate of the imperial capital like a whirlwind, and shouted while galloping him, shouting loudly and crisply: "The Far Eastern Army has sent troops from Valun Pass to the west, and the flags are all over the sky. More than 100,000 troops! ”

As soon as the fast horse rode by, thousands of people watched from the road. The news spread like lightning throughout the city, and many people rushed to the east gate, where they waited for further news. When the guards of the city gate saw the large crowd gathered, fearing that something might happen, they shouted to drive them away. But at the moment, people's curiosity has overcome everything, and more and more people are gathering. Dozens of garrisons looked so weak in the face of the surging crowd.

After nightfall, the crowd held torches and stood guard at the gate of the imperial capital, and a sea of torches became in front of the city gate. Some bold young people whispered: "Long live the Commander of the Far East!" Long live Shikawa! ”

The city gate guard shouted: "Who's screaming, arrest it!" ”

At nine o'clock in the evening, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the city. The second messenger rushed into the city gates, and when he saw the crowd gathered in the streets, the knight stopped his horse and shouted: "Urgent! The sortie of the Far Eastern Army has exceeded 200,000! ”

"Oh......" The voice of tens of thousands of people sighing together is like the howling of the sea. Long live the Far Eastern Commander" voice sounded again, and the garrison's face was pale, but he no longer shouted to suppress it.

At midnight, when the third knight messenger appeared, a black-pressed crowd gathered at the city gates. A path was left in the middle of the crowd, and this road made up of human walls led to the central street of the imperial capital.

"An army, an army of unprecedented proportions! An army of 400,000! There is no end in sight to the orc-like ironclad army. The army came out of Valen, and the front team entered the province of Dama, and the rear team was not finished yet! ”

Crowds, countless people shouted in unison: "Long live the Far Eastern Commander!" Long live the Zichuan family! ”

The city gate guards shouted: "Long live the Far Eastern Commander!" Long live the Zichuan family! His face was filled with a heartfelt, joyful smile, as if he felt joy from the bottom of his heart.

The troops dispatched include: the Second Army of the Far East, the Third Army of the Far East, the Guards of the King of Light, the Second Military Town of the Demon Kingdom, and the Third Military Town of the Demon Kingdom, with a total strength of sixty-eight half-orc teams, ten human divisions, ten Xiuzi battalion brigades, and twenty-six teams of Earth Demon Servant Soldiers, with a total strength of 313,000 troops.

In addition, the six northeastern provinces that were subordinate to the Far East also sent garrisons from various provinces to help, with a total of nine divisions and nearly 100,000 men.

Such a large scale of troops was also rare in the history of the Zichuan family, and Valen City could not accommodate such a large legion, so the army had to set off in batches. If you look from above, the entire canyon of the Gucci Mountains is covered by dense armies. Only when the front team goes out of the city, the rear team can enter the city from Valen.

At dawn on October 30, the Valen Fortress swore to send troops to fight against the rebellion. The first 40,000-strong legion of ironclad orcs marched out of the west gate of Valendi. In the red light of dawn, the soldiers were like a river of steel winding through the mountains of the Gucci Mountains.

In the morning light, the soldiers who set out from Valen all saw the beautiful girl standing at the top of the city wearing a white cloak. She stood there like a sculpture, raising her hands in salute for more than two hours, sweat soaking through her clothes and splashing on the floor of the tower.

Shikawa Xiu persuaded her to go down and rest. But Zichuan Ning replied very seriously: "Brother Xiu, the war against the demons is a national war, this time is different, it is completely for the sake of my Zichuan family." The soldiers sent out their troops to release their horses and spilled their blood, what is my burden with this? ”

Zi Chuan Xiu stared deeply at Zi Chuan Ning, looking at her sweaty forehead and wet hair. After a long time, he said with emotion: "Your Highness is merciful, I hope you can always remember today's words." ”

"I'll never forget." Zi Chuan Ning's expression was serious, she looked at the ranks of soldiers who had been winding from the foot of Valen City to the foot of the mountain, in the red dawn and morning light, it was like a wriggling dragon coiling around the mountain: "If the Zichuan family can return to the country one day, it will be thanks to the soldiers' hard work and sacrifice." ”

She turned her head to look at Zichuan Xiu: "Of course, there is also Brother Axiu, you." Your great contribution to the family is reinvented. Please Brother Axiu, you believe that the family will definitely have something to pay off in the future. ”

Zi Chuan Xiu smiled: "Your Highness has said it. I'm still a courtier, and that's what I should do. ”

"No, Brother Axiu, you have done more than you should have done. You and he are friends for life and death. It's hard for a strong man to make you an enemy of him, but I really have no other way. Even the Lin family's alluring army was eventually defeated at his hands. Although Di Lin's character is despicable, he is indeed a rare military genius. ”

Zi Chuan Ning looked at the sky in the west and said, "The contemporary general who can match him, Brother Stirling is no longer there, the wind and frost are foreigners, and the only one the family can rely on is you." ”

Zi Chuanxiu's hands trembled slightly. It was the first time in his memory that the head of the Zichuan family had talked to himself about the problem in such a frank tone. He said very seriously: "Your Highness, the family is as kind to me as a mountain, if it weren't for the cultivation of His Royal Highness Yuanxing and Lord Ge Yingxing, there would be no me today." The small contribution I have made is just to give back to the family, so you don't have to take it personally. ”

Zi Chuan looked at him quietly, and in the darkness, he saw a pair of shining bright eyes. Then, Shikawa Xiu heard a slight voice: "This is by no means insignificant. ”

Then, neither of them spoke again. In the morning light, two men and women with jade trees in the wind stood at the head of the city, and the dark and dreary Valen Mountains outlined their figures behind them, elegant and upright. The officers of the Far East looked at them with bated breath. These are the last two Zichuan in the world, and they have a proud and intolerable beauty, like ice and snow on a lonely peak.
