In mid-August, when the autumn harvest on the Chengdu Plain was over, and a large amount of grain was gathered on this plain, weighed, taxed, transported, and put into storage, the law enforcement team of the Huaxia Army entered every inch of the plain to supervise the implementation of the entire situation.

In Zhang Village, where the core of the Huaxia Army is located, the lights are still warm after nightfall. In the small villages and towns where the moon is like water, the patrolling soldiers walk through the streets, passing by the adults and children who live here.

In the study room in the small courtyard, Ning Yi was immersed in a large pile of materials, immersed in writing, occasionally sitting up, reaching out and pressing the right side of his neck, and struggling with his mouth. Hongti came in from outside with a bowl of black medicinal tea and placed it beside him.

"The herbal tea has been left for a while, let's drink it first."

In Hongti's voice, Ning Yi's eyes still stayed on the few materials on the desk, and he picked up the tea bowl and drank it, put down the bowl and whispered, "It's unpleasant." ”

His voice was a little hoarse, and his throat was aching, so Hongti brought the bowl and came over to gently rub his neck for him: "You've been too busy lately, you've been thinking too much, just rest......"

Ning Yi pursed his lips and was about to speak, but Hongti said again: "Okay, don't say it, let's do things first." ”

Ning Yi leaned forward and continued to summarize the information on the materials. After a while, he spoke in a dull voice: "On the side of the General Staff, the battle plan has not been completely decided. ”

Hongti rubbed his neck for him: "Hmm." ”

"But yesterday, when I mentioned the matter of the battle codename, I said that I should despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically...... Ahem, let's call it 'father's love'......"

The night was calm, Ning Yi was processing the information on the table, and his words were relatively calm, Hongti was slightly stunned: "Uh......" After a while, he came to his senses, and couldn't help laughing, Ning Yi also laughed, the couple trembled with laughter, Ning Yi made a hoarse voice, and after a while, he whispered: "Oh, it hurts......"

Due to the accumulation of many things, Ning Yi has been very busy in recent months, but when he saw Su Tan'er coming back from outside a moment later, he repeated the joke again, and Tan'er frowned and couldn't help but laugh and criticized her husband's unorthodox behavior......

……

To the east of Chengdu, a small village outside Yupu County.

"Feather Knife" Qian Luoning was guided through the dark road, and when he entered the room, Watermelon was sitting at the table frowning and calculating something, and he was writing and drawing with charcoal in his hand.

A faint voice of speech came from the room on the other side of the courtyard.

“…… In Xiaocanghe, when I killed the Jurchens, I made a meritorious service! I've made a meritorious service! At that time, my regimental commander was Feng Min, and when Gongshan was transferred, we stood behind, and the Jurchens brought tens of thousands of surrendered dog thieves to kill, and I didn't retreat even though the blood flowed! I was stabbed thirteen times, my hands were gone, and my feet hurt every year. I am a battle hero, Mr. Ning said...... You, you ......"

"So from here on, you began to compensate yourself, partnered with Lin Guanghe, and became the emperor of the soil. Was it him or did he find you in the first place? ”

“…… I, I want to see Master Feng. ”

"We met Feng Min before we came, and he asked us to find out the facts, if it was true, he only hated that he couldn't send you on the road with his own hands back then. Say, Lin Guanghe said that it was your idea, and you fell in love with the woman in his family at the beginning......"

"He's spewing blood—"

The noise widened for a moment, then fell again. Qian Luoning and Watermelon's martial arts are high, and these sounds can't avoid them, Watermelon frowned and sighed.

"Another pity. Senior Brother Qian, how are you doing over there? ”

"In the past few months, the old bull head has been very restrained internally, and a consensus has been reached on only reaching out to the north and not touching the Huaxia army. For the situation in the world, there is an internal discussion, thinking that although everyone is split from the Huaxia Army, many are still Mr. Ning's disciples, the rise and fall of the world, no one can stay out of the matter, everyone recognizes it, so a month earlier handed a letter to this side, saying that if there is any problem with the Huaxia Army, although it is not a fake, but Mr. Ning's refusal makes them feel a little embarrassed, of course, most of the middle level feel that this is Mr. Ning's kindness, and they are grateful. ”

"Which side of the people are you, they have a plan in mind, right?"

"I'm willing to be on their side, but Chen Shanjun and Li Ximing seem to be more willing to regard me as a contact with you. The innovation of the old bull head is underway, and many people are responding positively. In fact, even I don't quite understand Mr. Ning's decision, look at this ......"

Qian Luoning spread his hands and sighed. He is the youngest of all Liu Dabiao's disciples, but his comprehension talent was originally the highest, and he was nearly forty years old at this time, and he had actually faintly surpassed his senior brother Du Kill in martial arts. For the concept of equality of watermelon, others just echo it, and his understanding is also the deepest.

When the old bull head was divided, everyone who went out was attached to Ning Yi - they were only prepared for advice, who knew that it would later become a coup, and then Ning Yi would let them go, which made everyone a little puzzled.

Compared with Ning Yi, those who believe in the concept of equality may have deeper feelings for watermelons over the years, but in this matter, watermelons finally chose to believe in and accompany Ning Yi, and Qian Luoning voluntarily joined the opposite team.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the situation in the Chengdu Plain has been complicated by internal and external turmoil, and the situation of the Huaxia army may not be as exciting at first glance as the ideological unity and readiness of the old bull head.

Hearing Qian Luoning sigh, the watermelon got up from her seat, and sighed, she opened the window at the back of the earthen house, only to see that the courtyard outside the window was delicate and quaint, obviously with great effort, a warm spring came in from outside the courtyard, and went out from the other side, and a path extended to the house behind.

"The house is a thatched hut and earthen house, but look at this exquisite appearance, people are the combat heroes of Xiaocanghe, but after arriving here, Liu Guanghe began to collect money, people have not read, but they are really smart, he and Liu Guanghe have a total of problems in the supervision and inspection of the Huaxia Army, falsely report the acres of fields, make false accounts, beautiful girls in nearby villages and counties played more than ten, and after playing, they introduced the children of other people's families to the Huaxia Army, and they thanked him...... This order was found too late. ”

Watermelon shook his head: "Since the incident of the old bull head, Liheng has been predicting the next state of affairs, the Wu Dynasty has lost too fast, the situation in the world will inevitably take a sharp turn, leaving us not much time, and before the autumn harvest, Liheng said that the autumn harvest will become a big problem, before the imperial power did not go down to the county, all kinds of things are these landlords and clans to do a good job, and now it will become controlled by us, a year or two ago, they looked at us fiercely, and they were still a little afraid, and now, the first wave of resistance has begun......"

Qian Luoning nodded: "Therefore, from the internal rectification in May, the transition to the external crackdown in June, is to deal with the situation in advance...... Senior sister, the one in your family is really a last resort, but it is because of this that I am even more strange about his approach. First, if you want to change this situation, you will have to fight with these big clans sooner or later, wouldn't it be better for him to accept Chen Shanjun's advice? Second, if you don't accept Chen Shanjun's advice, if you arrest them and lock them up in such a critical situation, everyone will definitely understand, now that he can't go up or down, how much effort will he have to put into the next thing......"

Watermelon was silent for a moment: "Liheng has been ...... recently It's really tiring, I can't tell you what you said, but Liheng's side, he is very sure that you will encounter huge problems in the middle and late stages, and in my opinion, he thinks that even if you fail, you have a lot of significance...... So a few days ago, he was sighing, saying what he made the pot, crying and carrying it, but in the past few days, I heard that his throat is bad and he can't speak very well. ”

Saying this, Watermelon tilted his head and smiled, as if he felt helpless that he had such a husband. Qian Luoning frowned and pondered, and then said, "Mr. Ning, he really ...... So sure? ”

"Scared?"

"According to the results of Mr. Ning's calculations over the years, who can not attach importance to his ideas?"

The same is true for the Huaxia Army, but Liheng is not happy, saying that it is not easy to get rid of a little of his own influence, so that everyone can think a little independently, but as a result, he has to pick up the personality cult. But there is no way to do it, he is all to keep a little bit of success on the old bull's side...... You also have to be careful when you're over there, you can giggle when it's smooth sailing, but when something happens, I'm afraid I'll be the first to find you. ”

"Hmm." Qian Luoning nodded, "I came here this time because they were not too willing to be excluded from the battle against the Jurchens, after all, they are all brothers, and they still have tendons when they break their bones." Now many people over there have also participated in the battle of Xiaocanghe, and have a blood feud with the Jurchens, and the call for fighting together is very loud, Chen Shanjun still hopes that I will follow your path in private, and ask you to give an answer here. ”

Watermelon shook his head: "I think differently from Liheng's thoughts, I still listen to him about the war, there are more than 3,000 of you, half of them are still engaged in administration, what are you doing here, unified command is also troublesome, it should be broken." The war with the Jurchens may be divided into two fronts, the first to start the war is Changsha, there is still some time here, you persuade Chen Shanjun to take advantage of the turmoil of the Wu Dynasty to swallow some places and expand some manpower is the right topic. ”

Qian Luoning nodded, and the two walked towards the door, and in the courtyard, the monitoring team was moving the gold and silver utensils in the cellar out, and the figures of both were hidden in the shadows.

"As for this battle, you don't have to worry too much." The watermelon's voice was light and tilted his head, "Dayang's side has already started moving." In this big war, we will leave Zong Han here. ”

The moon is like water, Qian Luoning nodded slightly.
