The sudden martial law brought heavy pressure to the originally lively Lin'an City, and the flavor of the New Year that had been created before became faint in the cold pressure. On December 29, when the carriage passed through the bazaar, Li Pin looked through the gap in the curtain and saw the faint and slightly confused eyes of the people walking in the market.

Due to the martial law imposed by the forbidden army, the news of the leaflets was brought under control at the first time. But the so-called control only prohibits the spread of news among the lower-class people, and for the middle and upper echelons of the real martial arts, what has entered the eyes of the Taixue students cannot be suppressed.

The subsequent strengthening of patrols by the forbidden army, the suppression of the atmosphere in the capital, and even the tension and changes of many middle- and upper-level officials and various forces will eventually pass on all kinds of atmospheres layer by layer. People who have never left before are buying their last New Year's goods on the streets, but they are also unconsciously exchanging various information. The year is just around the corner, and the shadows have finally fallen.

Feeling this strangeness and dissonance, people always want to do something, but the actions of the lower classes are insignificant after all. In Lin'an City, in this world, many people and many things have already taken action or are in the process of acting.

Li Pin took in the scene on the streets, his deep and melancholy gaze did not fluctuate much, he followed Qin Shao and Shou Taiyuan in his early years, later fought against Ning Yi in the northwest, and then experienced the disaster of the fall of the Central Plains, he followed the displaced people through the desperate road of fleeing south. He'd seen too many things like that.

The carriage made its way through the streets and alleys, and finally entered through the back door of the eldest princess's mansion and stopped in the courtyard behind it. Li Pin got out of the car, lifted the curtain, and inside was a box wrapped in black cloth, and the royal and guards who came with him carried the box down together with two princess palace guards, and then a steward of the princess's mansion led Li Pin into the depths of the princess's mansion.

Through the cracks in the porches of various places, many people have already gathered in the princess's mansion.

Li Pin and the person carrying the box walked into the study inside the princess's mansion, and after a while, Zhou Pei arrived first, and then Cheng Zhouhai led six men of different ages but capable eyes in, and he introduced the six people one by one: "They are all trusted old friends." Li Pin also greeted the six people one by one, several of whom he had already known before.

After ordering someone to bring tea, Zhou Pei dismissed his subordinates except for his henchmen and guards, and let everyone sit down in the room. Li Pin sat down for a moment, looked at the rest of the people for a few laps, and then stood up again: "Most of you here are old acquaintances, and time is pressing, so I won't beat around the bush." Previously, in Lin'an, the school and the newspaper were established, and although the school did not make any achievements, the newspaper had some results. The matter of the newspaper is to spread the news of the world with everyone, and after a long time, a lot of news will come to the next side by itself, and in a few years, Li has taken advantage of his leisure time to sort out and classify many seemingly useless news, and analyze the clues...... Now that the Wushu has come south, all kinds of Jurchen arrangements have either been launched or are about to be launched, and these things should be taken out. ”

As he said this, everyone turned their eyes to the box wrapped in black cloth on the ground, Cheng Zhouhai had already gone over to lift the black cloth, Li Pin took out a key from his arms and handed it over, and then took out a blue booklet.

"The wind rises at the end of Ping, and it moves the whole body...... Everything in the world is related, and this truth was understood in the past, but over the years, the person who has used it the most is Ning Liheng, who is now in the southwest. The news in the box, Li can see the clues, have been recorded, the rest of you rely on you to do analysis, reference, among the members of our Wu Dynasty, the big clan, and the Jurchen people who have been in contact, those who are not strong-minded, have been lobbyed, can find one, it is a ......"

The lights in the room were a little dim, Li Pin's words were calm, but his face seemed to be a little pale, but he just said: "50,000 people can't break through Lin'an, and those who do it are nothing more than a strategy to attack the heart. It is all because of the methods of the demons in the heart, the conspiracy and conspiracy alternately calculated, once the general trend is formed, it is difficult to resist, and this general trend has been in place for the Jurchens ten years ago. In the past ten years, the demons have struggled to find a glimmer of life, and the Jurchens have come with the general trend, lobbying and counteracting have always had the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort......"

As he spoke, a person in the room said: "However, with the box of things in Dexin, guarding Lin'an is more than a few percent sure." Thinking that although Xi Yin is smart, after all, he was born a barbarian, and although he took advantage of the momentary advantage of the conspiracy, he could not turn the situation upside down, so I waited for the party to discuss, and speculated like Dexin that the 50,000 cavalry of Wushu were lightly armed, and it would be impossible to break Lin'an, as long as the rear was stabilized, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be able to find a counterattack. ”

Li Pin shook his head slightly, glanced at the other party, and nodded with a sigh: "That being said...... I hope so, but don't be careless. I have reviewed the information contained in the north over the past 30 years, and the Jurchen clan, since the beginning of the incident, has been extremely brave, and said that it is invincible to the outside world, although there is no controversy about this matter, but what the world does not know much is that in the process of the Jurchen destruction of the Liao State, they were not proficient in the use of siege equipment and the study of tactics. Under such circumstances, it only took half a day for the Jurchen Keliao Kingdom to go to Beijing Linhuang Mansion, although there were many flukes and coincidences, but many of them made people think deeply. ”

“…… After the Jurchen destroyed the Liao, a large number of Liao craftsmen were captured, and they gradually became familiar with many siege equipment, and later invaded the south, and the siege art was quickly integrated, especially in the process of the fall of the Central Plains, the value of the Jin people to the captives was the first craftsman. Many of these things coincide with Ning Yi's thoughts...... The prosperity of the Jin Kingdom is only in the hands of the generation of Aguta, Wu Qimai, Zong Han, and Xi Yin, although they are born in the wilderness, but they have no prejudices in their chests, as long as it is a good thing, they will learn it quickly, and this point, I am not as good as the princes of the Wu Dynasty. ”

His gaze swept around, and everyone's eyes were solemn: "After the Northwest War, Lou Room and Ci Bu were all cut down by the black flag, Zong Han and others attached more importance to the black flag than our dynasty, Xi Yin built a great institute, the Jurchens supported the whole country, and the prince Xinggewu, but everyone looked at it coldly, thinking that they would defeat the Jurchens in the future, and such a strange and obscene path could be easily abandoned." In the past few years, the Jurchen has not only done a good job in the Great Construction Academy, but Xi Yin has privately imitated the southwest, forming a team to constantly lobby and promise to our Wu Dynasty, both soft and hard......"

He sighed: "...... If Tian Shi was against Jin in Jindi, the strong man broke his wrist and cleaned up the internal how tragic it was, and in the end he was assassinated by Xi Yin, and he lost all the games. This time the Jurchen went south, it is inevitable for our dynasty, the eastern and western armies have temporarily abandoned their previous suspicions, since the Wushu has ventured south, Xi Yin's calculation of Lin'an, I am afraid that there will not be only this point in front of me, you must not ignore it......"

When Li Pin said this, he arched his hand, and everyone nodded solemnly. After a while, when everyone began to analyze the information brought by Li Pin, Li Pin, Cheng Zhouhai and Zhou Pei went to the room on the side and talked about another more urgent matter

“…… The news from Brother Li yesterday has been noticed by our side, and the plan has been decided, and we are waiting for Brother Li to come over and make a final reference ......"

On December 29, Lin'an was covered with a thin layer of snow, and the princess's mansion was busy. One of the travelers, dressed in a cloak and dusty, entered the princess's mansion in the middle of the night, and he took off his coat and hat, and in the firelight, his head was already jagged white hair, but he was still imposing and his eyes were majestic. This is the former chief arrest of the six gates, and now the leader of the Caohe Gang, Tie Tianying.

His eyes looked at the courtyard corridor in the middle of the night, and under the door not far away, there were already acquaintances greeting him......

……

Also December 29, Xiangyang, Fancheng defense line.

The trebuchet threw huge stones and shook the towering walls with a roar, and the siege of the city was going on as always.

In December, Zonghan's army has been steadily uprooted all the fortresses around Xiangfan, its main force and hundreds of thousands of surrendered Han troops besieged Fancheng, and at the same time launched a large-scale offensive to try to monopolize the Han water, Xiangyang a place of the water division and the other side launched several major battles, although the victory ended, but could not defeat the opponent's living forces, part of the Jin soldiers have successively crossed the river from the upstream and downstream, the complete encirclement of the land of Xiangfan, in January will become a reality.

There was goose feathers and heavy snow in the sky, and on the school ground, tens of thousands of soldiers gathered one after another, Yue Fei walked up to the platform in front of him, and spoke to the soldiers, and then he took the liquor and sprinkled it on the ground.

In the early morning of December 30, two hundred miles east of Xiangfan. Xi Yin, who was already on the way east with 60,000 troops, received urgent information from Xiangyang.

Late at night on the 29th, Yue Fei led 40,000 elite Beiwei troops to abandon the city, a group of more than 30,000 sailors went south along the Han River, and a cavalry went out of the city.

Hee-yin tapped his finger on the map, a smile on his serious face.

Xiangfan has been fighting for nearly five months, and even though the Wu Dynasty army relies on the geographical advantage to defend it, this is already an incomparably long battle for the Zonghan army that has tried to attack everything. In the past five months, they have gradually become familiar with each other, and for the young general who guarded Xiangfan, Zong Han and Xi Yin also have a rough outline in their hearts.

The two cities of Xiangfan are extremely important, and they are an important support point to prevent the Jurchen Western Route Army from destroying the Wu Dynasty, but the focus of the battle in front of them is not here - especially on the premise that the Jurchens are based on the destruction of the Wu Dynasty, even if Xiangyang is broken, there are thousands of miles of land of the Wu Dynasty to the south.

But here, half of the military strength of the Wu Dynasty was gathered.

Zong Han tried to uproot the help around Xiangfan little by little, with the Jurchen military strength as the mainstay, supplemented by a large number of Central Plains Han troops, directly besieging Xiangyang, even if it was not for the purpose of breaking the city, he had to besiege this fulcrum. At the same time, an elite army was sent into the hinterland of the Wu Dynasty to expand the entire chaos.

But obviously, the other party gave up Xiangfan.

Without this young Yue Pengju and the most core of the back-to-back army, the siege of Xiangfan was only a matter of time. However, just before Zong Han and the other besieging troops were about to gradually close the siege and gradually wear out the vital strength of the Wu Dynasty sailors, the other party broke through with elites.

The Wu Dynasty naval division of the Han River is still dominant, going south into the Yangtze River, and then down the Yangtze River, and will eventually arrive at Zhenjiang, needless to say, another 10,000 cavalry gathered the strength of the whole country, and the destination chosen must be the Shura battlefield between Zhenjiang and Lin'an.

"Okay......"

In the swaying light, Xi Yin said softly.

Outside the tent are countless stretches of military tents, goose feathers and heavy snow really drift down, more than 100 miles away on the Han River, the fleet of the Beiwei army in the wind and snow, rushing to the future more than 2,000 miles away......

……

The moment before the possibility of destruction came, thousands of troops and horses were gathered, from court officials, soldiers and generals, to green forest heroes, peddlers and pawns...... Near Lin'an, some people left, and some people came......

Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, and Tie Tianying is on the high ground in Lin'an City, holding a clairvoyant mirror to secretly watch the movement of a family. This is one of the many actions in Lin'an City, Tie Tianying came back as a professional to help sit in the town, the former Six Doors Chief Arrester was just an official, and he couldn't get into the eyes of high-level people, but over the years, he followed Li Pin to do things, fought against Ning Yi, and later led the Caohe Gang to pass on a lot of information, so that he had a far more important identity and qualifications than back then.

Cheng Zhouhai walked in from outside: "How is it?" ”

"More than 30 people, they are outlaws who want to fight for their lives and get rich, there are traces of fire and thunder and gunpowder buried outside the courtyard, if they resist stubbornly, the movement will be very ......"

"If it doesn't work, let the forbidden army drag the artillery over and blow up this place first."

"Well, Chengda's consideration is not unreasonable. However, the people below already have some arrangements, so let them try it first. ”

It seemed that there was no speculation in words, and both sides fell silent. In fact, when Qin Siyuan had an accident, Tie Tianying was one of the people who fell into the well, and he scolded Li Pin and Qin Shaoqian in person, and Cheng Zhouhai naturally had unpleasantness.

But today, many people who couldn't talk about harmony at the beginning have also gathered, and in the princess's mansion at this time, there are also Tie Tianying's enemies who were married to Liangzi back then, and his colleagues back then, each other is already old, and at this moment, many things don't have to be taken to heart.

"Back then, you went to the northwest with Li Pin." It was quiet for a while, and it was a boat on the road.

"Hmm."

"When you were still in the capital, you also stared at Ning Liheng, what do you think of him?"

"Back then, he was regarded as a small person, and he got married on the way to chase and kill Fang Baihua and Fang Qifo, and he always wanted to kill him...... Later I learned that it was naturally a joke. Tie Tianying was also old at this time, and when he talked about this, he smiled slightly, "After walking the world all these years, I hope that the surname Ning will die and be wiped out, but after all, there are some things that he said right." ”

"Huh? What words? ”

"Tie began to run the rivers and lakes, and then when he was on an errand in the six gates, after the shame of Jingping, he was disheartened, and left the six doors, returned to the rivers and lakes, turning and turning ups and downs, sometimes he was stupid, sometimes he wanted to escape, sometimes, he learned from the people of Bianliang back then, scolded the Jurchens, scolded the Black Flag Army, and now, he had to come back to Lin'an and do these things that should have been done a long time ago...... There is only one thing, I think clearly. The old man smiled back, and there was tiredness, relief, and simplicity and purity in his smile. At this time, outside the hidden window, countless people were walking in the entire Lin'an City.

……

"Where are they in this life...... I had to earn my life on my own......"

……

Haze, iron blue.

Between the sky and the earth, snow flies everywhere.

There were countless phantoms hedged under this sky, the cavalry of the vultures came towards Lin'an, the iron eagle walked towards the enemy, countless people walked towards their enemy, the sails broke through the heavy snow, the iron cavalry crisscrossed through the land of Qianmo, fireworks exploded, and flew into the sky.

In the southwest, the giant beast that lurked in the nest moved......
