On 2 August, the crusade organized by the Supervision Office set out from the imperial capital. The commander of the crusade was the number one general of the Supervision Office, Imasai, who commanded six infantry divisions and two cavalry divisions, with a total strength of nearly 70,000 troops. To deal with the rebellion of a local province and to dispatch such a large army, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the real guard of the Inspectorate is the Far Eastern Army behind Bartley.

News of the Imperial Capital's dispatch of troops soon reached Valen. Hearing that tens of thousands of troops were rushing towards Bartley, Wu Hua was so frightened that his face turned white. He and Waxin just wanted to win the jackpot, but they were not prepared to resist the main force of the Supervision Department with the strength of a province.

Wu Hua began a new round of lobbying, frequently visiting high-ranking officials in the Valen Fortress. Zi Chuanxiu refused to see him anymore, so he went to Lin Bing, Bai Chuan, Ming Yu and others every day to cry for help, and his voice was sad. Especially Bai Chuan, because Wu Hua knew that she was the most trusted and favored general under Zichuan Xiu and had a lot of influence on Zi Chuanxiu, he went to Bai Chuan's office on time every day, so that Bai Chuan couldn't stay in his office anymore, so he had to flee to Zi Chuanxiu.

"My lord, if you don't send troops, Wu Hua will move all the covers to my office!"

For Bartley's self-proclaimed smart living treasures, Zichuan Xiu is on fire. He said slowly, "What's the hurry?" Let him dance for a few more days! ”

"Hehe, my lord, you seem to be a little dissatisfied with Wu Hua?"

"Dissatisfied? That's so kind to say, I hate them! Shikawa Xiu said: "Deliberately provoking a powerful and brutal enemy knowing that you are invincible is not unconspiracy, it is a crime." After the defeat, Wa Xin and Wu Hua patted their butts and left, but the people of the province had to bear the revenge of the Supervision Department. They are using the lives of the military and civilians in the province as bargaining chips to gamble on their future! This kind of person, who seems to be loyal, is actually ambitious, ruthless and selfish, and I hate it the most! ”

Zi Chuanxiu hesitated, but his subordinates had already made up their minds. At the subsequent meeting of the Far Eastern High Command. The top brass of the Far Eastern Army said in unison: "Reinforcements!" We must reinforce Bartley! ”

Lin Bing: "My lord, Bartley Province is loyal to the Zichuan Imperial Power and is not afraid of cruelty. This is a true man of loyalty. We should send reinforcements as soon as possible! ”

Ming Yu: "Since there will be a battle between our army and the Supervision Department, then Bartley is a good battlefield. Our army has a home advantage. The logistics distance is short, and the supply is convenient. ”

Cardin: "I don't agree with taking the initiative to go to war, but Bartley is the first inland province to take refuge in His Majesty, and he doesn't talk about it. His Majesty's prestige is detrimental. Now reinforcements Bartley, which is forced to fight. Imperative. ”

Du Yafeng: "Your Excellency. The Intelligence Service has been in contact with the governors and governors of the provinces. The envoys sent to us were very respectful to the governors and towns, saying that the Far East was the orthodoxy of the Zichuan family. But they are always emphasizing this or that difficulty, saying that Di Lin's power is still very large, so he can't immediately do it. Xiaguan believes that supporting Bartley will set a shining example. Fight a victory, so that the governors of the provinces can make up their minds faster. ”

Shirakawa: "If Bartley is left alone, they will be defeated. It is bound to be slaughtered by the Ombudsman. For the sake of the people there, for the sake of humanitarianism. We should send troops too. ”

Half-orc Bran: "Beat Dirin!" ”

Zi Chuanxiu was dazed: "You ...... Shouldn't they all have received Wu Hua's red envelopes? ”

Although Zichuan Xiu hates Wu Hua very much, he is not a beautiful girl after all, and the sentence "people hate it" can be used as a reason. As a mature politician, he still has to act according to interests. Adopted unanimously at this meeting. Troops will be sent to reinforce the province of Bartley.

At the meeting, Shirakawa personally made a decision, and Shirakawa drew several teams from the Second Army in the Far East to form a reinforcement force of 30,000 people to go to Bartley. Lin Bing originally wanted to fight for the position of commander, and said, "Lord Xiuchuan, use a knife to kill chickens." Such a small battle. You don't have to work General Shirakawa, I'll just go! ”

Shikawa resolutely disagreed. Just kidding, let Lin Bing go. She will certainly find ways to provoke the Office of the Inspectorate in order to turn a local conflict into a full-scale war.

On August 15, 786, Shirakawa arrived at the border of Bartley Province with a reinforced vanguard. The provincial governor, Waxin, personally rushed to the border to meet him. When the Governor of Waxin arrived at the camp of the Far Eastern Army, it was already the time of sunset.

After informing the sentry of his identity, Waxin and his entourage waited quietly at the door. It was a simple camp, and the sentinels had no intention of stopping them. From their vantage point, they could see a large group of orc soldiers happily preparing their meal around the campfire.

Wasin observed the orc soldiers, looking at their thick bodies and thick torsos. He secretly praised: The Far East is worthy of being the strongest army in the world, and their field soldiers are bold and murderous, and they cannot be trained without years of war. Seeing that the Far East sent such strong troops. Look at the miles of camps. Wa Xin was relieved. At first, he was worried that the Far Eastern Army had just sent some weak troops out to do a perfunctory thing, so he really had to flee for his life quickly.

A few minutes later. A large group of Far Eastern officers approached the camp with a young female officer in a dark blue officer's uniform. Wa Xin hurriedly stepped forward to salute his subordinates: "Governor Wa Xin, Governor Bartley, see General Shirakawa and all your lords!" ”

Bai Chuan hurriedly helped Waxin up: "Lord Waxin, you and I are both red-clothed flags, we are at the same level, how can I afford such a heavy gift?" ”

Waxin knew that Shirakawa's words were completely correct - it's strange! Theoretically, everyone is indeed the red-clothed flag book of Zichuan's family. But in essence, as the number one confidant under the command of the Far Eastern King, Shirakawa's reputation was even heard of by the southern coastal pirates. Right now, she led an army of nearly tens of thousands to prepare for war with Di Lin, such a character, she dared to treat her as an ordinary red-clothed banner?

"Lord Shirakawa, don't kill the lower officials. You have a great future, how can you be condescended to the red flag? What's more, Lord Shirakawa, you are still here on behalf of His Royal Highness Zichuan Ning and Lord Xiuchuan, according to the previous statement, you are the Qincha, and the subordinates and others are the only ones who obey your orders! ”

Bai Chuan smiled, and did not politely excuse himself: "Your Excellency the Governor does not have to be polite. Before I came, Lord Hidekawa had already given me an order, we are the guest army, Bartley is your home field, and you are the governor

It is a veteran of the sandy field. You can take care of our juniors. ”

"Hehe, don't dare, don't dare. Your graciousness, sir. If you need anything, just ask us. ”

After the pleasantries. Shirakawa immediately got to the point: "Lord Governor." Where is the Ombudsman? ”

"I was about to report to you, my lord. Rebel units have arrived in the province of Oska. Approaching our provincial borders. The leader of the rebels, Imashi, sat in the capital of Oss and personally supervised the battle. Their scouts are currently in contact with the provincial garrison, sadly. Our army failed to gain the upper hand. ”

Shirakawa nodded, "not having the upper hand" was just a euphemism for Waxin. The real situation is probably that there have been a lot of defeats. But this is also expected. The local garrison confronted the elite of the Inspectorate. It's no wonder if you're undefeated.

"How ready is Bartley? Can military and material reserves be sufficient? ”

"Your Excellency. Bartley has always been a large province in the southeast. In the War Against Demons. The people's livelihood in our province is relatively well preserved. The material reserves are quite sufficient. Our province has two divisions of the provincial garrison. All were infantry divisions, about eighteen thousand people. There was also a thousand-man cavalry corps. After the uprising, we urgently called up reservists throughout the province and called up about 10,000 recruits. It's just that this unit is not well trained and can only serve as a civilian man. ”

"How's the morale of the military?"

Wa Xin smiled awkwardly: "This, Lord Shirakawa." You are also a veteran of the army. I can't hide this from you. Because of the fear of leaks. We didn't dare to do any propaganda beforehand about the uprising. You know. The ant people were foolish. They don't understand what is right and wrong, and they don't understand the importance of imperial orthodoxy. So...... The mood of the army is indeed a bit chaotic right now, and some soldiers still don't know why they are fighting. Some people even thought that it was me and Wu Hua who rebelled. Confidence is not high. We can only intimidate them now. People who say that the Ombudsman is a beast. They are going to rob your mother-in-law, burn your house, kill your father-in-law, and kill your father-in-law, and if you don't fight hard, your whole family will be finished. The soldiers barely had some fighting spirit. ”

"It's not intimidation. As far as I know. The Supervision Department slaughtered 500,000 people on the Lin family's side, destroyed dozens of towns, and made an example of a hundred places. ”

"Exactly!" Wa Xin hurriedly added: "Therefore, we look forward to the arrival of the Far East Heaven and Earth, just like looking forward to nectar after a long drought!" You are coming. It is tantamount to saving the lives of millions of fathers and elders in our province! ”

Bai Chuan frowned slightly: "Governor, there is one thing I have to ask for your help." ”

"Lord Shirakawa. The Far Eastern Heavenly Soldiers are the benefactors of our fathers and elders. If you need anything, just tell me. But is there a shortage of food and grass? There is still a lot of storage in our provincial treasury, and I dare not say that there is more, but it is still enough land for three or five months. ”

"The Governor is thoughtful and well prepared. It's just that the request I'm talking about is not that. This time the battle is in a hurry, and the flags, military uniforms and other items of our army have not yet been prepared, I hope you can help us make up for it. ”

Wa Xin was stunned: The army was in a hurry, and it was common for the soldiers to be fast, and they didn't bring heavy equipment. But you didn't bring a flag and a military uniform? This is all too unheard of.

"That's fine. I don't know how many military uniforms are needed? What is the style of the flag? Please leave drawings and patterns. I immediately organized the craftsmen and weavers to start production, so as not to delay the work. ”

"There's no need to re-produce, just give us the Bartley garrison uniforms and flags in stock! Quantity. I have 30,000 soldiers and one for each of them! ”

Wa Xin was stunned: "Could it be ......?"

"Governor, Lord Xiuchuan has an order that the news of the Far Eastern Army's participation in the war is not allowed to be leaked to the outside world, and violators will be dealt with by military law. This matter is up to you to be responsible for implementation. ”

Speaking of the last sentence, Shirakawa stared at Waxin grimly, his face like frost.

Wa Xin leaned over and bowed, "Obey the orders of the Commander-in-Chief." The subordinate then ordered the news to be blocked. ”

August 18, 786. After a two-day break in Oskath province, the counterinsurgency forces of the Ombudsman Office launched an attack on Batley. In the early exploratory assault, they had already seen that the combat strength and morale of the Bartley garrison were not high.

"That being the case. Let's do it quickly! ”

A force rushed straight to the provincial capital. But in the city of Nada, on the outskirts of the capital, they encountered obstacles. This city, which was not very well defended, was surprisingly difficult to attack. Several attacks by the gendarmerie were declared unsuccessful. The defenders not only drove them back, but also went out of the city to pursue them and drove them out for dozens of miles. The crusading army suffered its first defeat since the beginning of the war.

Shocked by the news, he summoned the front-line commanders. Inquire carefully about the course of the engagement.

"Although the defenders of Nada are also the names of the defenders of Bartley, they are very different from the enemies they have encountered before. They are extremely powerful, fearless of death, and have a very active attacking spirit. Three or five people dared to attack our army's big formation, killing the generals, and roaring away after capturing the flag. If you don't see it with your own eyes. The subordinate officials could never believe that such a strong army would be a local garrison. And I thought it was the ace elite army of which country. ”

Imasai immediately gave the order, and the troops immediately stopped advancing. He urgently reported to the Imperial Capital Supervision Office for 800 miles, asking for instructions.

A week later. When the reply arrived, Di Lin only approved two words: "Hit!" ”

Imasaki was speechless. The war began. There is going to be hell to pay. But if you don't fight. The consequences are even worse. The foundation of domination comes from majesty. Born of strength and fear. Once the Office of Oversight Services is weak. Powerless to punish a province of open rebellion. That ripple effect will follow. The provinces will change their banners accordingly.

Bartley was the first domino land. It must be straightened now.

Imaxi was reluctant to engage the Far Eastern Army. First, this bone is really hard to gnaw, and second, he doesn't want too many casualties to deepen the enmity between the two sides, since he knows that Nada City is guarded by the Far Eastern troops - openly known as the "Bartley Garrison New Fourth Division" - then he just avoid them. Imashi sent two cavalry divisions to bypass the city of Nada and attack on a detour. However, on the outskirts of Bartley's capital, the attacking cavalry encountered a strong blocking force, which was called the "Fifth Division of the Bartley Garrison".

The order of the present West is simple and straightforward: "Continue the detour!" ”

But the detour was still blocked. The cavalry suffered

Encounter the "Bartley Garrison New Sixth Division".

Then came the "Bartley Garrison Special First Operations Brigade"

Jinxi scolded: "A local province actually raises six field divisions and a number of special brigades, and the Far Eastern Army has gone too far in cheating!" ”

Seeing that more and more troops from the Far East appeared, Jinxi had to be cautious. He realized that the opponent was not a weak brigade like the Lin family. It is not a local garrison that is easy to break up, but a strong enemy that can match itself, and must be dealt with with a serious attitude. He regrouped his forces to the Nada front. Serious and serious against a regular battle.

The two sides were evenly matched, and the commanders were both steady and cautious generals, and the tactics were equally skillful. Both sides avoided a head-on confrontation with each other and tried to find an opportunity to strike at the weak flanks of the other side. Imanishi saw the weakness of the Bartley garrison as the defender—the real "Bartley garrison," of course—and he made special sorts of positions to be guarded by the garrison, and he succeeded several times, with considerable success; Bai Chuan, on the other hand, saw the characteristics of the Supervision Office coming from afar and the instability of grain and grass, and frequently sent elite cavalry to intercept the opponent's grain convoy and sneak attack the granary camp. It was also a great harvest, forcing Imashi to shrink back to consolidate the rear.

"Block the offensive line of the Supervision Office and force its inactive teachers. Return to the Imperial Capital. ”

The two armies come and go. But Shirakawa is more experienced than ever before. She held the line firmly in control, preventing the attacking forces from crossing the line even a single step, and the tide of the battle was at a stalemate.

In the summer and autumn of 786, the situation was as erratic as the falling leaves, which made people dazzled.

The Dilin regime, which usurped power and seized power in January, encountered the crisis of the invasion of the Lin family at the beginning of its ascension. Many people believe that the weakly founded Emperor Lin will not be able to cope with this crisis, and that this incident will lead to the complete collapse of the Emperor regime. But what made them stumble was that the war lasted less than half a year, and Di Lin won a big battle neatly, forcing the arrogant Lin family to sign an armistice agreement - although the two sides were nominally evenly divided, and it seemed to be a draw, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Di Lin had won. The Lin family not only lost more than 100,000 elite soldiers, but its northeastern border was also swept by Di Lin with blood and fire, and the losses were extremely heavy, and they had to give up the southwestern territory of the Zichuan family.

At the beginning of August, Di Lin led his army back to the imperial capital. After the victory, his prestige at home was at an all-time high. Governors from all over the country came to congratulate them, the people of the imperial capital held an all-night torchlight procession to celebrate, and the senators sent congratulatory letters - not surprisingly, the senators were not dead-headed. Now, almost half a year after the success of the rebellion, the momentum of the Ombudsman is booming. Although there were still local wars in which the province of Bartley raised its flag to rebel, the Lin family, a powerful country on the mainland, was defeated by Dilin, and no one thought that a rebellion in a local province could pose a threat to the reign of the Supervision Office. Many patriarchs have been secretly listening to Di Lin's birth date to see if he has the destiny of the founding emperor.

After Di Lin returned from the southwest, he was busy every day to build momentum for his usurpation. Although the Supervision Office is full of talents, most of them are military generals or ruthless interrogators, and it is really difficult to find a pen who can write articles. Fortunately, there will never be a shortage of flies, bed bugs, and literati who tend to be inflammatory, and Lu Zhen just let out a little bit of the news, and a large group of literati with the titles of experts and professors have flocked to it.

There are many people who are good at being good at the body. The wind in the academic and critical circles has changed abruptly, and now who is still talking about the great victory of Stirling Bataan or the conquest of the Demon Kingdom by Zichuan Xiu is really stupid, and the fashionable topic now is how the Inspector of Emperor Lin in the Southwest War turned the tide and defeated the Lin family's army, repelled the invasion, and thus saved the Zichuan family in danger - the importance of this war cannot be overestimated!

Some clever literati have gone one step further and are already discussing the "Zen concession" system. From the invasion of the Lin family to the boycott of the Senate to the indiscriminate arrest of people by the Supervision Office in the past few months, every word implies that a girl in her twenties has no experience in politics or in the military. Why should he be the head of the Zichuan family, a large country with a population of more than 100 million?

We need a new leader, a strong-willed, young leader who has a wealth of political experience and has stood the rigors of war. You might as well think about it......

By the end of August, under the overt and covert operation of the supervision department system, both officials and elders in the imperial capital were shouting in unison: "Zen let, Zen let!" The world is big, and those who are virtuous get it! In fact, Di Lin didn't want to make things so explicit, but the situation waits for no one. It's too late to get subtle. Zi Chuanning was picked up by the Far Eastern Army, and he may stand up and make a public appearance at any time. If the Zen ceremonies can be completed as soon as possible, the subordinates will also complete their allegiance to the new emperor at that time. Even if the old lord Zi Chuanning appeared, the impact on his regime would not be so great.

But then, a sudden incident interrupted Dilin's steps.

On the morning of August 22, 786, two brigades of the Fifth Division of the First Cavalry Army, stationed outside the imperial capital, suddenly mutinied. Most of the participants in the mutiny were non-commissioned officers and reserve officers, numbering more than 2,000 people. At the instigation of the officers of the Shaozhuang faction, they killed the military judge of the surveillance area, broke through the unprepared city defenses, and frantically broke into the imperial capital.

Battles ensued in various neighborhoods of the Imperial Capital. "Heaven damn it. Destroy the thief and protect the imperial power! The cadets shouted, and the tide poured into the central street. A loud roar echoed over the Imperial Capital. Many city residents thought that Zi Chuanning led the Qin Wang army to fight back. They all went out to cheer and cheer for the non-commissioned officers and students.

On that day, the senior management of the Ombudsman happened to gather at the headquarters on Central Avenue for a meeting. When the guards rushed in to report the mutiny. The senior officers were collectively silent. Everyone looked at Di Lin with blank eyes, and they couldn't wait for him to say immediately: "Everyone should go out of the city immediately and take refuge!" ”

Di Lin asked calmly: "How many flags and numbers of troops have appeared at present?" ”

There is only the number of the 5th Cavalry Division. ”

"Is there any change in the various troops in the interior of the Imperial Capital City?"

"No report has been received yet."

"Herald. The gendarmerie unit directly under the Inspectorate took over the defense of the city gates, and an additional brigade was sent to reinforce the headquarters, which was under the full command of the officer on duty today. Now—" Di Lin looked at everyone with blazing eyes: "Let's continue today's meeting. ”

It was in the midst of the shouts of killing. Regular meetings of the Office of Internal Oversight Services continued. Although the hearts of the people were still panicked, Di Lin's firmness gave his subordinates great courage, and when the huge roar of the door of the supervision hall being knocked over, several people involuntarily jumped up and wanted to escape, but they were all stopped by Di Lin's majestic gaze.

"Sit down." The Inspector General's voice was calm: "If the enemy comes in, it is nothing more than taking up arms and fighting, so why be afraid." ”

The meeting continued with the sound of fighting in the sky. As the meeting drew to a close, the fighting subsided. It's just across the street from the main entrance of the Central Avenue Inspectorate. The non-commissioned officers and students were lying in limbo. Most of them were shot by the crossbow during the impact, and the cyan ground and white jade steps were soaked in a thick layer of blood. Gendarmes armed with light crossbows formed a skirmish line, sweeping away the remnants of the surviving troops along the way.

But to the surprise of the Ombudsman. Swept up in the remnants of the army. There is actually a big man, that is, Wen He, the commander of the Central Army. He had his leg broken by a light crossbow arrow. Several loyal guards carried him all the way to escape. But on the way, he was caught by the gendarmes who rushed to reinforce him. Just in front of the gate of the bloody Supervision Hall, Di Lin saw the commander of the Central Army covered in blood. He lay on the front of the steps. One leg was broken.

Knowing that Wen He must be the leader of the mutiny, the two military judges were fiercely interrogating him. Kicked and trampled on the ground with leather boots and broke his leg. The commander of the Central Army clenched his teeth and groaned lowly. His face was pale, and beads of sweat were oozing out, but he never said a word.

Di Lin watched from the side for a while, and stopped the military judge: "Okay." Commander Wen is a high-ranking military officer, and everyone is also an acquaintance. Leave it to the table. ”

He sent the military judge away. Squat down and ask, "Why bother?" ”

He whispered to a private chatter among friends: "The Far Eastern Army is coming." Can't wait for this time? Wouldn't it be better to be inside and outside when the time comes? ”

Wen He closed his eyes. It took a while. Only then did he say: "The expeditionary force was the land where I was deceived by you, and caused His Highness Ning to go into exile in the Far East. I have to find a way to make up for this hole myself, and I don't want to cause trouble to His Highness and the Far Eastern Commander anymore. ”

Di Lin nodded silently, he could understand Wen Hedi's thoughts. This stereotyped, old-fashioned soldier always adheres to one belief: I lost my ground. I'm responsible for taking it back. Loyalty, responsibility. Duty, honor. would rather die than retreat, this is the military style of the Zichuan family. Brother Yingxing was like this back then. Fang Jin is like this. So it is with Pigu. This is true of Qin Lu, and so is Sterling. It can even be traced all the way back to the time of Yarime, passed down from generation to generation, but it is still revered. It is this spirit that has supported the Zichuan family from a local warlord to the number one power in the mainland.

Dillin pulled out a cigarette. handed one to Wen He, and Wen He raised his bloodstained hand with difficulty. Trembling to take it, Di Lin lit him again.

Wen He took a deep puff of his cigarette: "To be honest, Di Lin. If only I had won today. I would never be so polite to you. ”

Di Lin smiled. I also took out my own cigarette and lit it. Asked, "Is there anything you can't put on the ground?" If there is anything to stay, I can convey it to Zi Chuanning or the Far Eastern Commander. ”

"Say sorry to His Highness Ning on my behalf...... But Lao Tzu hung up and took his life. It's worthy of the Zichuan family! Forget it, there's nothing more to say. ”

"When the time comes, can I arrange for you to enter the Holy Spirit Temple?"

Wen He smiled, pulling the corners of his mouth as if he had a toothache: "Holy Spirit Temple, it is only saints like Lord Goyingxing and Lord Sterling who are qualified to go." Lao Tzu is a rotten soldier like this...... Di Lin, don't you really want to spoil the Holy Spirit Temple? In the future, when His Royal Highness Ning is still in the capital, I will have to be kicked out. Even if you die, you will not be at peace. There, in case I ran into Master Stirling, he asked me: 'Wenhe. I hand over the expeditionary force to you. How's it going? Can you protect His Highness Ning well? At that time, Lao Tzu didn't have to die of shame again! Dilin, willing to help. Bury me in my ancestral tomb outside the east gate, so that when His Royal Highness Ning returns to Beijing, I will know it. ”

Di Lin said calmly: "Good land, don't worry. ”

With his bloodstained eyes wide, Wen He smiled: "Thank you, Di Lin!" Why didn't you find out before? You're such a funny guy, haha! It's a pity that I can't make friends with you. Then I'll go first, don't make me wait too long! ”

Di Lin shook his head with a smile and stood up: "When you finish smoking this cigarette, let's send Master Wen on the road." Don't let the adults suffer. ”

On August 22, 786, the Wenhe commander failed to suppress the rebellion, was captured and unyielding, and was executed on the central street of the imperial capital. After hearing the news, Zi Chuanning wept for it, and the Valen Fortress mourned, posthumously recognizing Wenhe's promotion to the head of the family - although Di Lin had already appointed him as the commander of the Central Army, it was obvious that neither Di Lin nor Zi Chuan Ning took that appointment seriously. It wasn't until the moment on Central Street that Wenhe was truly recognized by the world.

The OIO's subsequent investigation revealed that there were far more officers involved in the conspiracy than originally estimated, and that almost the entire high-ranking officers of the 1st Cavalry Corps were involved in the incident. It's just that many of them hesitated temporarily and failed to rebel with Wenhe.

"At that time, there were nine officers above the flag level who participated in the conspiracy, and they came from the 5th Cavalry Division, the 6th Cavalry Division, the 7th Cavalry Division, and the Special Cavalry Brigade. Originally, they agreed to launch a joint campaign on 22 June, but on that day, only the Fifth Cavalry Division Di Jianghua acted as promised, and the other troops had been waiting and watching, and they wanted to wait until the overall situation had been decided before taking action. Your Royal Highness, you are famous and famous, and you dare not act rashly, which also shows that we have obtained heavenly luck. Heaven bless! ”

Gopra sighed with emotion, and the high-level officials of the Supervision Department here kept wiping cold sweats. Everyone knows that everyone will survive this time. It's really too good luck. No one expected it. Wen He was able to secretly organize a big mutiny, if it weren't for those officers coming into battle

Escape. More than 20,000 people of the First Cavalry Army suddenly poured into the city, which could trample the entire Supervision Hall into dust.

In the past, when he took over the military power, Gopra was still a little worried. Don't dare to go too far or be too explicit. But after this mutiny, the Supervision Office let it go: since the matter has been laid out, it might as well be done!

The Supervision Department launched a purge throughout the Imperial Capital Military Region. Needless to say, those who participated in the mutiny did not participate in the mutiny but knew about the mutiny in advance but did not report it. Apprehend; Sympathy mutiny, arrested; those who have a close relationship with the mutinous officers and soldiers shall be arrested; If one of his subordinates participates in the mutiny, he shall be arrested; Superiors participated in the mutiny, arrested; Where there is a relationship with the mutinous officers and soldiers, arrest ......

In a few days. Twenty-five high-ranking officers above the flag level were arrested, including the highly decorated veteran Deputy Commander Starry, and Deputy Commander Fang Yun was also on the arrest list, but on the day of the failure of the Wenhe mutiny. He disappeared quietly.

More than six hundred officers were arrested. More than 5,000 officers and soldiers were arrested on charges of collusion and rebellion. The gendarmes were so weak that they grabbed people. Firing squads execute prisoners day and night. All the officers and men are in danger, but no one dares to complain.

Within two weeks. All the arrested generals and soldiers were quietly executed, and the wild dogs on the outskirts of the imperial capital ate human flesh and their eyes were red. The First Cavalry Army is the ace army that has existed since the time of Ge Yingxing, and this unit participated in a series of battles such as the defense of the Western Front, the suppression of the Great Rebellion in the Far East, the Battle of Payi, the Battle of Os, and the Battle of Bataan.

Although it was nominally a rectification of military discipline, the military judges knew it well. The target of the purge is the group of soldiers who are still loyal to the Zichuan family. The trouble is that these orthodox officers and non-commissioned officers are often the elite of the military, and they are loyal. Brave, strong, and the object of admiration and imitation by the soldiers, this group of people was purged, which led to an unprecedented tension in the atmosphere of the Imperial Capital Military Region. The anger of the army is like oil in a hot pan, calm on the surface, but turbulent underneath.

Although the 822 Mutiny failed, its impact on the entire situation was extremely far-reaching. The Office of the Ombudsman has tried to block information. The official media declared: "The non-commissioned officers complained about the poor food so they marched in the streets, and were finally persuaded to return to the camp." "However, the tens of thousands of people in the imperial capital who witnessed the battle could not stop their mouths. Through civil underground channels. The truth was spread through the brutality of the mutiny. The feats of 2,351 heroes were compiled into poems and sung, and the heroism of the commander of Wenhe was even more tearful. Later generations spoke highly of this tragic soldier. said: "The sacrifice of the commander of Wenhe awakened the revival of the Zichuan family. ”

Hearing the news of Wenhedi's death and the purge of the imperial capital, the Far Eastern Commander Zichuan Xiu took off his hat and looked at the western sky, and stayed awake all night.

After dawn, Zi Chuanxiu opened the door, but was stunned to find that there were people standing quietly outside the door.

Zi Chuanning, Lin Bing, Ming Yu, Li Qing, Bran, Cardin, Du Yafeng.

The clothes on the soldiers' bodies were wet with dew, and Zi Chuanning's eyes were red and swollen, obviously just crying.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke, but Zi Chuanxiu already understood their intentions.

"Cardin," Zi Chuanxiu's voice was hoarse and heavy, like that of a drowning man, "I remember, you said that it is not in our interest to start a war with Dilin. ”

The former Empress of the Demon Kingdom, Yurong, did not move: "Your Highness, I also said that not everything depends on interests. Dillin is the enemy of everyone, and he is a problem to everyone, including you. If he does not die, peace will never be restored, and there will be more sacrifice and bloodshed. ”

"Why can't we live together peacefully?"

"Your Majesty, can you hand over His Highness Zichuan Ning to Di Lin?"

Shikawa Xiu was speechless.

"War is inevitable. Now, we still have an advantage over the rebels, and in three years' time, the Ombudsman will become a behemoth, and then the cost of sacrifice will be even greater. ”

Shikawa Xiu lowered his head. After a long time, he said, "Give me another reason to go to war." ”

Cardin bowed deeply, and when she raised her head, she did not shy away from looking directly at Zi Chuanxiu, with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, please take revenge!" For our mutual friends. ”

Ming Yu showed a serious look on his face, and silently took off his military hat.

Zi Chuan Ning sobbed gloomily, tears sliding down.

They are all witnesses of that youthful romance, and in that beautiful summer, the handsome young general met and fell in love with the beautiful foreign princess. Although they eventually had to separate, as promised to each other, they would never forget each other for the rest of their lives.

Shikawa Xiu closed his eyes and endured the tingling pain in his heart one after another. In a trance, that generous and firm figure appeared in front of him, and he was smiling gently at himself: "Ah Xiu, you have a great future." ”

A great and noble personality can have such an impact on those around him. Although he is gone, his figure is still everywhere.

"We are all just human beings, and it is impossible not to make mistakes. But some mistakes cannot be forgiven anyway, and once they are made, there is only one way to correct them. ”

The blue sky outside the window was as blue as a wash, and what Zi Chuanxiu recalled was the lonely and proud voice on that cold and snowy night: "If there is a day, when I am the one who makes a mistake, I hope that it is you who will correct this mistake." ”

"Big brother, second brother is no longer here. I'm the only one left to correct you. ”

He silently turned his head to look at Zi Chuanning, and the current head of the Zi Chuan family choked up: "Brother Axiu......"

Looking at Zi Chuanning gently, Zi Chuanxiu whispered, "I understand." Your Highness, we await your orders. ”

Zi Chuanning was shocked when she heard this, she looked at Zi Chuanxiu in disbelief, her bright eyes were full of shock. When she came back to her senses, her voice lost its calm: "Brother Axiu? ”

Zi Chuanxiu shook his head, his voice was gentle but resolute: "Here, it is the chief of the Zichuan family and the commander of the Far East Army under her command, His Royal Highness the commander-in-chief, Wei Chen is waiting for your order!" ”
