In the Wu Dynasty, at the beginning of May of the ninth year of Jianshuo, the summer was beginning to get hot, and the urgent dispatch of the military department was running between every important road in the south of the Yangtze River. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The capital Lin'an, where business travelers come and go, and ships pass through, are still in an endless stream. The comings and goings of scholars and the gathering of chivalrous warriors are all polishing and polishing the prosperous scene of the Wu Dynasty.

Ten years, placed in a person's life, is a realistic and long distance. It is enough to make a teenager grow up, let a young person transform and mature, let a mature middle-aged person enter old age, let the old people let go of their thoughts and go to the end of their lives.

Joy will be precipitated in the memory of this time, and fear will become illusory because of the passage of time. In the past ten years, the transformation of Nanwu from rebirth to prosperity has been placed in front of everyone, and this prosperity is visible and tangible, which is enough to prove the hard work and prosperity of the new dynasty.

Due to the pressure of the past and the present, the scholars were able to express their anger and write even more impassioned words. The knights are doubly valued by people, and what they do and think is no longer a simple fight between the green forests and the black eating black that cannot be put on the table. Even the girls in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion are more likely to find heart-warming and even intoxicating men in this relatively calm "troubled times".

It's been the best of times for everyone.

The court remains busy, and officials will at least be able to achieve their ambitions more easily on the new political map. It's been a lot busier lately.

That unusual news about the "may" southward movement of Zongfu Zongbi had already set off a storm in the court of the Wu Dynasty. The information brought by this storm is still blocked from top to bottom, but those who are well-informed can already faintly detect a hint of it. The actions of many big men can always stir up some ripples from the inside out. This ripple is not necessarily negative, after a few days of fermentation, in Lin'an's well-informed upper social circle, the information that there may be a war has already taken shape.

Those who heard it were all impassioned.

With the passage of a long time, due to the warmth of the prosperous scene, the scenery of the Han Dynasty in the future of more than ten years, and even the cognition of the recent search of mountains and seas, have long changed in people's hearts. Nanwu's hard work has given people a lot of confidence, on the one hand, they believe that the sky is falling and there are tall people on top of it, and on the other hand, even Lin'an's sons and buddies mostly believe that even if the Jin people call again, the Wu Dynasty, which has learned from the pain, will already have the strength to fight back -- this is also the result of the Wu Dynasty's external propaganda in recent years.

Since we can fight back, what we need to consider is the opportunities that the change of power in this war will bring to people, power opportunities, and economic opportunities. And even if some people are worried that the Wu Dynasty will be frustrated again, most of them are talking about how they can make a contribution to turn the tide and support the building to collapse.

It is not easy to evaluate whether such a change is a good thing or a bad thing. However, in the upper echelons of the Wu Dynasty, they naturally could not respond to the arrival of this news so willfully, and after a lot of discussion and analysis, it became even more difficult to deal with the whole situation.

Qin Hui, as a privy envoy, was at the core of this storm at this time.

Since the Wu Dynasty changed to Nanwu, after the Jurchen searched the mountains and inspected the sea, Qin Hui has gone through several twists and turns in the officialdom of the Wu Dynasty, and now he is one of the several big players standing at the top of power. Compared with the left minister Lu Yihao and the right minister Zhang Jun at this time, Qin Hui belonged more to the leader of the rational school above the court - he served as the imperial history platform during the Jinghan Dynasty, and was known for his uprightness and stability of the overall situation.

At this time, the rational faction is usually the main and faction, since the Jurchen searched the mountains and examined the sea, Qin Hui was well aware of the gap between the strength of his own side and the Jin people, and was extremely restrained from the contradictions between the two sides, and even said in the past two years that "the southerners return to the south, and the northerners return to the north" Such a general policy and strategy. There is no affection in these proposals, but they are extremely realistic, because the crown prince Junwu is a hot-blooded main battle faction, so Qin Hui has not been phased, but because of this, his status has become transcendent.

At this time, the emperor Zhou Yong certainly doted on his son, but on the other hand, at the intellectual level, he subconsciously relied on Qin Hui, and most of them thought that if things got out of control, people like Qin Hui could still clean up a mess. The news that the Jin people might go south came, and the high-level meeting of the Wu Dynasty was indispensable for a big man like Qin Hui, but this time he didn't wait for him to pour cold water, and the atmosphere inside the entire court was unanimously dignified.

In the past few years, the Wu Dynasty has trained recruits and built ordnance, and if it is against Liu Yu, it still has some confidence, but against the Jurchens, most of the people in the court have a good brain, and most of them hope that this is fake news - every year in the past, there have actually been such rumors. However, this year, the situation is different after all.

Wu Qimai fell ill, and Zong Fu Zongbi wanted to take Jiangnan to deter Zong Han, which was indeed a very likely situation for the martial Jurchens. On the one hand, the two-pronged approach of peace and provocation was praised by everyone, and on the other hand, the choice of war was more or less intimidating and confusing.

The situation is not complicated, since the Wu Dynasty lost the entire Central Plains in the confrontation with the Jurchens a few years ago, and the Jianshuo Dynasty was pacified, the military status of the Wu Dynasty has been greatly improved. On the one hand, the chaos in various places gave more power to the people who led the troops, on the other hand, whether it was the people or the officialdom, the voice for the soldiers has gradually risen, and during this period, there was even the prince Junwu, who had been waving the flag and shouting for the army in private, so that the power of the imperial court was curbed to a certain extent.

The confrontation between the civil and military forces is not only for personal gain, in the territory of Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other officials who are favored by the crown prince, the power of the army is overwhelming, and the recruitment of soldiers, tax collection and even the dismissal of some officials are decided by him. The generals used such excessive methods to ensure combat effectiveness, but the power of the civilian officials was no longer passable, and a national law had to be enforced, but there were completely disobedient and even oppositional military forces under their hands. In the previous Wu Dynasty, such a situation was unimaginable, and in today's Wu Dynasty, it is not necessarily a good thing.

Nothing is just right in officialdom, and overcorrection is often the truth. Just like the overall situation of the Black Flag Army, the courtiers and ministers were trying to blockade the forces of the Huaxia Army in the southwest, but the armies of the Wu Dynasty were secretly buying firearms from the Huaxia Army -- in the past two years, due to the activities of scholars such as Long Qifei and Li Xiannong in the southwest, there have been reports to the court about the commercial activities of the Huaxia Army coming out of the quagmire, but they have always failed. These things are always depressing.

If you want to defeat the enemy, you must give the army autonomy and not let the civil servants dictate it. Let the army be autonomous, and the other side often crosses the line. It is a long process to achieve a balance in this intermediate game, but in general, how to accurately control the army without damaging its combat power is a big lesson for the current Wu Dynasty court. Once the war began, the containment and efforts made by many ministers in the past few years were all in vain.

The court discussed and quarreled chaotically and depressedly for several days, and at first tried to block the news with the idea that it might be wrong, but under the constant pressure exerted by the Eldest Princess's Mansion and Zhang Jun and others, they sent envoys to prepare the leaders and commanders of the armies in various places, and sent people to Beijing to discuss the current situation and countermeasures. These messengers were only halfway there, and a terrifying news spread from north to south, and the startled wind and waves were like a series of huge explosions, rumbling for thousands of miles, and rushed to the eyes!

……

A few days ago, the former capital of the Wu Dynasty was now Bianliang, the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty, and the weather was dark and depressing.

The chaos was sudden.

When the chaos occurred, Liu Yu was seeing several ministers in the imperial study, and when the sound of the exchange of weapons sounded, his heart had already begun to sink.

In the nightmares of the past few years, he may have seen some similar scenes. Liu Yu sat behind his desk trembling slightly, and when Xue Guangcheng, the commander of the forbidden army, strode in with a knife, the courtyard outside was already full of slaughter.

"You, you, you ......"

"Your Majesty, someone has made an appointment with you." The door to the study slammed shut, and the figure grinned and walked over, "I'm here to pick you up." ”

Just like the black shadow he saw three years ago, Xue Guangcheng was tall, Liu Yu pulled out his long sword, and the other party had already walked over, waving his big hand, whistling and patting.

Since Liu Yu was threatened by the Black Flag spies in the palace, there were 500 to 1,000 Jurchen elites stationed everywhere he was, and they took turns to change guards with the Han army, but at this time, the entire imperial city had fallen into a fight.

Tie Tianying, who had been in Bianliang for a few days, experienced this great chaos, and wolf smoke rose in the prosperous city of Bianliang, which had long since ceased to be prosperous, and the news from all sides was extremely chaotic, some people said that a part of the forbidden army was involved in the rebellion, and some people said that many ministers had tried to get out of the shadow of the Jurchens anyway.

Under the jurisdiction of the Jurchens for several years, although they have experienced terrible suppression, there are still many arrogant people in the Central Plains. This huge chaos caused a chain reaction, with some people opening the city gates and inciting the inhabitants of Bianliang to flee from the area and flee to Nanwu, while others participated in the fighting. Ali, the Jurchen general who guarded Bianliang, soon after pulling out his camp and entering the city, had already fled out of the city with his family.

Emperor Liu Yu was also abducted from the city.

Ali's elite soldiers immediately followed.

Chase and run, chaos and killing. Many people have not yet figured out what happened, whether someone rebelled and rebelled, or whether the army in the south, known as the Black Flag, had finally moved against Liu Yu. Iron Sky Eagle then noticed that the Black Flag had been operating in the Great Qi Dynasty for several years, and it was launched overnight.

The whole process of the incident was violent and rapid, and even made it impossible to distinguish who was deceived, who was instigated, and who was deceived, and a large number of false information also obscured the Jurchens' immediate reaction, and the Black Flag elite seized Liu Yu and fled south out of the city. Ali was furious, led the elite all the way to the death, and the whole process of chasing and killing even lasted for several days, spreading thousands of miles from Bianliang to the southwest.

Four days later, Ali Shao's pursuing army returned, and they rounded up and killed about 12 members of the Black Flag, who died so horribly that they were all said to have been dismembered - since Ali Shao did not bring them back alive, it is estimated that all of them were captured after death - Liu Yu had disappeared.

The entire Bianliang was in chaos, and the Iron Sky Eagle had quietly left this dangerous area, and he couldn't help but feel excited when he recalled the entire operation of the Black Flag. However, as the next news about Liu Yu came two days later, his whole heart went cold......

……

Lin'an, the first news came in the early morning of the previous day, and everyone knew the news at the court meeting.

Bianliang was in turmoil, the puppet Qi emperor Liu Yu was captured in the palace, and the Jurchen general Ali sent an army to chase him, but Liu Yu had not been found at this time.

This must be the handiwork of the Black Flag.

A few years ago, after the Battle of Xiaocanghe, Liu Yu celebrated with great fanfare, but one night he was touched into the palace by the Black Flag Army and beaten him. Liu Yu was frightened into a nervous disorder from then on, this matter is said to be true, and it has been rumored to be a laughing stock by many forces, but it has also implemented the rumors that the black flag has infiltrated into the various forces in the Central Plains.

At this moment when the relationship between Jin and Wu was tense, the Black Flag Army suddenly came out to give Jin Guo such a dismount, which could not but be said to be a good thing for the Wu Dynasty court. Everyone was more or less relieved.

On the morning of the second day, around midnight, everyone was still discussing the impact of the Pseudo-Qi Rebellion, and the good news came.

“…… Pseudo-Qi Liu Yu announced to the world with a blood book...... At the beginning, the golden dog was powerful, and the Liu family was forced to be helpless, and in order to protect the foundation of the Wu Dynasty, they had to make a false promise, commit themselves to the gold, and tremble...... In the end, the overall situation of the Wu Dynasty was not lost, and the Central Plains was still in the hands of the Han people...... Now that the time is ripe, I will work with all the righteous people to raise troops and return to our great army...... The Central Plains is anyway, great joy, Your Majesty-"

In the summer, the sun outside the hall shone in brilliantly, and after the eunuch who summoned the message finished speaking, Zhou Yong on the dragon chair was still a little confused.

"Ah...... Anyway......"

In a blink of an eye, the Central Plains was anyway. Wu Dynasty, back without losing an inch of land?

Above the court, the faces of Lu Yihao, Qin Hui and others have become pale, and the sound of breathing in the entire court has begun to become difficult, and the sunlight outside suddenly seems to have no color, and a hundred swords and thousands of swords, like mountains and seas, poured in from outside the hall, as if stabbing in front of everyone.

"Black Flag...... This is a poisonous plan to kill my Wu Dynasty......"

……

In the princess's mansion, Zhou Pei, who heard the news, broke the cup in her hand, her hands trembled, and there was no blood.

……

Since the killing of the monarch, ten years have passed, and the Black Flag Army has always maintained a restrained attitude towards the Wu Dynasty.

Although they are often ruthless in the confrontation on the battlefield and do not shy away from being ruthless when protecting themselves, in addition to this, most of the strategies of the Black Flag Army did not show much malice towards the Wu Dynasty. As if he was apologizing for his evil deeds of killing the king, the strategy of the black flag, which could avoid the Wu Dynasty, was often avoided, and even if it could not be avoided, more or less, it also had a verbal benign tendency.

This time, at such a critical point in time, the black flag slapped the Jurchens in the face. What no one expected was that he finally thrust the blade of the sword into Wu Chao's heart with his backhand.

This is a sharp sword, and it is also full of the ruthlessness and ferocity of your life and death.

On the stage of the world, there is never room for emotional survival, and there is no room for the weak to breathe.

Soon after, the news spread all over the world.

The gears of war were slowly buckled. The confrontation is raging under this wave......
