Chu Tianya didn't know if the nobleman really went to find Xiao Linglong, and what he told her. The result...... The nobleman was punished and put in a confinement cell for a day and a night, without food, drink, or freedom.

Because she violated the first prohibition of Qingwei: when the lord is not in danger or does not need it, Qingwei does not have zài.

It's also considered her unlucky, and she was caught by Uncle He. I didn't say it, Qingwei is also an army, and the discipline is stricter than that of ordinary armies. That is, on the premise that she has no malicious intent or has caused a particularly bad impact, she is still given a lenient punishment.

Chu Tianya felt a little too much, but he didn't open his mouth to intercede for her. Discipline is a thing that is directly related to prestige and combat effectiveness, and it is better not to overstep the level of exercising privileges. Otherwise, it will be difficult for He Bo to do, and Qingwei's disciplinary regulations will lose their binding force and credibility.

That night, Xiao Linglong could toss Chu Tianya enough.

Chu Tianya now finally understands what it means to 'only have tired cattle and no ploughed fields'. After a night of ecstasy, Chu Tianya's soul was not only really about to fly, but his waist was about to bend, and his legs were also weak.

Xiao Linglong didn't say anything, but only used her actual actions to prove what is called "the duty of a diva"-it's all like this, do you still have the ability to provoke other women?

Chu Tianya was very convinced, painful and happy.

The next day, Qingyun Castle was discussed. All the leaders handed in their homework, and everyone exchanged ideas together in Qingyun Hall.

Chu Tianya picked out a few homework assignments to read, and almost smiled crookedly. That's right, most of these military exercise summaries are written in a bullshit manner, and typos are common, and some people don't know what to write at all. For example, there was an infantry leader under Xue Yu who wrote this-

"I took my brothers to drink wine and eat meat, and the mountain of the straight lady thief made us sleep all night! Dry! ”

At least half of them are typos, and some radicals are directly replaced by circles and crosses, because the words are not easy to write. Only the word "dry" is written with a murderous spirit.

There are also some talented people who draw pictures directly.

……

Hey, in short, Chu Tianya felt like the homeroom teacher of the first grade of primary school was correcting homework.

Halfway through the meeting, after lunch, it suddenly snowed!

That's right, it's snowing!

The whistling north wind blew into Qingyuntang with a bone-chilling chill, and the rain that was still a trace just now turned into a black snowflake!

The battle horn has sounded!

The atmosphere in Qingyun Hall, which was still very warm and even a little funny just now, suddenly became tense and tense.

Chu Tianya suddenly rose, and just two words made everyone's nerves tense-

"Prepare for war"!!

Only an hour later, Zhang Xiaochun personally ran to Qingyun Castle.

"General, it's snowing!"

This was the first thing he said when he saw Chu Tianya.

"Yes, I saw it." Chu Tianya replied, "What are Governor Zhang's plans?" ”

"Immediately move the people and actively prepare for war!" Zhang Xiaochun said, "In the morning, the government was convening the officials and generals of the Hedong Mansion and the Xuanfu Division to discuss the winter preparations. Before the discussion was over, the snow fell. The snow in Hedong is like this, and it won't stop for three or five days. As soon as the snow stops, the river will freeze. It's time for the Jurchens' iron horsemen to invade the south! ”

"Well, according to the plan during the exercise, the first line of field defense will be laid in Xiaocangshan. With Xiaocang Mountain as the core, Taiyuan and Qixingzhai are each other's horns, and they form an iron triangle. Chu Tianya said, "Governor Zhang, please lead the men and horses of the Xuanfu Division to strictly guard the city." Our people's and horses will focus on guarding against the Xiaocangshan outpost, and Xishan will serve as the general logistics support, providing special ambulance and response, and accommodating displaced people and the wounded. ”

"Okay, just listen to the general's deployment." Zhang Xiaochun nodded nervously and sternly, "The government will immediately go back to organize the people of the government and start evacuating the people and deploying the army...... I wonder where the general will be in charge? ”

"What ......about me," Chu Tianya smiled, "Of course, I'm in command of Xishan." ”

"Well, it's safer that way. General, don't go to the front line! Zhang Xiaochun told me a thousand times. By this time, of course, he knew who the pillars of Hedong were.

"The prefect can rest assured, Chu knows his own." Chu Tianya replied with a smile.

Zhang Xiaochun left in a hurry.

Chu Tianya immediately announced on Qingyun Hall that Hedong had officially entered a state of combat readiness. From now on, except for Meng De, who led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses and left behind Qingyun Fort with his family, the rest of the soldiers all participated in the preparation for the war. Xue Yu was the first leader of the infantry, leading the elite of Qingyun to garrison the first line of defense in Xiaocang Mountain; Ma Kuo, Liang Xing, Wang Xun and others were the leaders of the second brothers, and they were stationed in other military villages to respond to Xue Yu's ambulance. Jiao Wentong's Xiao Cavalry is the first mobile cavalry unit, ready for battle around the clock, ready for war at any time; Tang Ang and Anu are the left and right commanders of the tiger horses, and they use their lives directly in front of the lord. The rest of the leaders, big and small, shall be returned to the headquarters to be reprimanded.

Chu Tianya directly commanded the twelve leaders and led the pro-Xun Huben, and there were branch leaders below the twelve leaders. There are more than 100,000 people in the entire Hedong Righteous Army, just like a complete human body, which can be stretched and commanded freely.

The role of the exercise was fully manifested at this time.

Chu Tianya did not stay in Qingyun Castle, but went to Xiaocang Mountain in person to take command. Mengde stayed behind in the rear of the West Mountain to support logistics; As the flank of the small Cangshan defense line, the position and role of Qixingzhai are quite important, Chu Tianya let Bai Xu take the lead, gave him 20,000 horses, and gave him the guard Tang Ang and a thousand tigers in front of the tent to serve as the guard of the Tianqian Pass, and guarded the defense there.

……

The whole east of the river is moving in full swing again. This is not a drill, it is a real military operation. Compared with the last time, the army's actions were much faster, and the leaders and minions of the various departments were more skilled and calm. In just two days, the defense system of Hedong was raised. The area around Xiaocang Mountain is a large camp of Jiugong gossip, plus the defense assistance of Qixingzhai and the rear of Taiyuan. The military iron triangle with a radius of 100 miles is not to say that it is impregnable and indestructible, at least it is thousands of times more stable than last year.

Chu Tianya was at the command post of the Shuai Battalion in Xiaocang Mountain, and every day he was galloping in and out of countless fast horses. Bai Xu settled the defense of Qixingzhai, and hurried here to help Chu Tianya deal with the important military situation, and discussed the strategy of dealing with the enemy day and night. Within two days, Zhang Xiaochun successively sent more than 30 fast horse envoys to exchange views with Chu Tianya and discuss solutions.

All armies and battalions were on full alert, built high fortifications and accumulated grain and grass, and stepped up drills in the wind and snow.

Next to the barracks of Chu Tianya's commander, twelve small military tents were pulled up, which were the residences of Qingwei, Ada, Anu and others. On the periphery, there was the garrison of the Tiger Ben Battalion, defending Chu Tianya's side like an iron bucket. Not to mention people, even if a bird wants to come in, it has to be pecked by the noble Hai Dongqing.

The atmosphere of war came out at once.

As Zhang Xiaochun said, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and there is no intention of stopping. Three days have passed, and the mountains and fields are covered with silver, and the snow in the mountains and forests has exceeded a foot, and many trees have been crushed. If it weren't for the army guarding and cleaning, Xiaocang Mountain would definitely be impassable.

As soon as the snow stopped and the wind blew, ice skates formed on the shade rack in front of the barracks, after the army cut down a large number of trees and stored firewood began to come in handy to keep warm day and night. Otherwise, people can rely on thick clothing to protect themselves from the cold, and most of the horses and livestock will freeze to death.

Such a season, for the Jurchens who were born in the extremely cold land of Liaodong, it is the best time to hunt every year. In their bodies, the belligerent blood inherited from their ancestors began to boil, just as a hungry wolf smelled the blood of its live prey and became bloodthirsty and manic.

Between Taiyuan and Wanyan Zonghan, there is a pass such as a lofty mountain and a dangerous flying fox road, and it is unrealistic to want to send spies to spy on the other party's military situation. Even if the spies succeed in finding the news, it will be the year of the monkey when he reports the military situation. But Chu Tianya knew that the Jurchens would definitely come, and there was no reason not to come.

Whether it is for ambition or revenge, even if it is because the Great Song Dynasty refused to deliver Taiyuan not long ago, they must come.

The question is, how will they come.

On the third day, a small group of Jurchen cavalry walked out of the Flying Fox Pass and did not shy away from coming directly towards Xiaocang Mountain.

A little out of Chu Tianya's expectations, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom appeared in a very high-profile manner.

They brought the war book of the Kingdom of Jin, and they came to declare war!

The battle book is very simple - "Hunt with the general and fight in Jin!" ”

A few big characters, through the back of the paper iron hook silver stroke!

Chu Tianya asked Suzaku to take a look, and she said with certainty that this was the personal handwriting of Wanyan Zonghan himself. Just from this handwriting, you can see how agitated and unrestrained his mood was at that time.

"I didn't expect that the Jin Congress would march in such a way." Chu Tianya was still a little surprised, and he said to Bai Xu, "In this way, Wanyan Zonghan wants to concentrate his forces to attack Taiyuan, and he will not die?" Does that mean that Jinguo's military plan for this year is just Taiyuan? ”

Xiao Sheng thought that this possibility could not be ruled out. But it is also possible that it is a bluff. Bai Xu said, "A war book does not mean anything. Even if we don't have a war letter, we know they're coming, don't we? Previously, our army was engaged in a large-scale military exercise here, and the lord released the news that he was going to go on a northern expedition, which must have confused their ears and eyes. Now it is entirely possible that Wanyan Zonghan is planning to do what he wants, and he will blackmail us like this. It is still unknown whether he will really come or not, whether he will set his target in Taiyuan, Yang, or fly with the wings like last year. ”

"Shi Liai's guy is really cunning. When I conducted military exercises and made rumors about the Northern Expedition, he took the initiative to write a war letter saying that he would directly attack Taiyuan, and in the final analysis, he was still competing with me for the strategic initiative. Chu Tianya wrinkled his brows and scolded in annoyance, "Now we are back on the same starting line." How the Jurchens would invade the south became confusing again. ”

"Yes." Bai Xu nodded, "Only now, we have to take one step at a time." If the Jurchens come, then our army should fight and defend Taiyuan; If the Jurchens deceive the future, or abandon the Western Front Division and go out of Hebei to attack the Eastern Front with all their might, then our army will make a decision again. ”

Chu Tianya wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered for a long time, then nodded reluctantly, "I have to do this first." Unfortunately, we can't send a small saku to the Yunzhong and Yanshan areas to spy on the news. As long as you pass the Flying Fox Pass, it is the territory of the Golden Kingdom. There are high mountains and mountains, and there are many checkpoints, not only the defense is very strict, but the traffic is very inconvenient. Unless our meticulous work can fly like Hai Dongqing, we will not be able to communicate with each other at all. ”

Bai Xu's eyes lit up, "Lord, how about sending Hai Dongqing to fly?" ”

Chu Tianya was stunned, "It's ...... All right? It's not human after all! ”

Bai Xu smiled, "Then I have to ask the nobleman, what if I do it?" ”

Chu Tianya blinked his eyes and said in his heart: This girl suffered a sullen loss two days ago, and she must have hated me to death in her heart, she has avoided me for the past two days, and occasionally glanced at me with resentment...... I think that the noble person was able to join us at the beginning, and he had something to do with Bai Xu, the dog-headed military advisor, and they have had a friendship since then. Now, the kobold military advisor must be changing his method to intercede with the nobles and mediate as a peacemaker.

"All right—call your nobleman to me!"
