Seeing off Xu Xinsheng and Zhao Anyi, the two unexpected guests, the brothers of the Beiping Army finally breathed a sigh of relief. During the more than 20 days that Xu and Zhao were in the Beiping Army, the Beiping Army, from Wang Kunjun, Zhang Weixin, Xu Shaoan, and other members of the Beiping Army, to ordinary soldiers who might have had contact with Xu and Zhao, all spent a lot of effort on dealing with the matter of these two men's visits. Of course, this is not to say how high the status and ability of Xu and Zhao are, but because the crossing team hopes to take this opportunity to create a false impression for Zhao Kuangyin, the leader behind the two, to make him believe that the thoughts of the brothers of the Beiping Army are only in the Beiping Army, and they have nothing to think about the Central Plains. So that when the time is ripe, the other party boldly carried out the very wonderful "yellow robe plus" drama performed in the previous life, and created the best conditions for the crossing team to smoothly implement the "Jianye No. 1 Operation" Jihua. Now that the goal has been achieved, and Xu Xinsheng, a traverser, has been successfully recruited under his command, it is reasonable for everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that God seems to be deliberately unable to get along with the brothers of the Beiping Army. On the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, Zheng Zhiwei, who was far away in the "Hidden Garden" of Chenqiaoyi, sent an urgent telegram. In this telegram marked with three A's, Zheng Zhiwei not only said that according to the deployment of the committee and the Ministry of Intelligence, the communication channel between the "Dark Feather" Kaifeng branch and Xu Xinsheng had been established, and he only waited for Xu Xinsheng to come back and connect to the zuihou ring, but also reported an important news to the committee: Since Concubine Lin Xiaoyu gave birth to a son, Chai Rong's condition has begun to improve. After a month, the situation is much better than before the Chinese New Year. According to the informant who was arranged in the palace room of the Kaifeng branch of the "Dark Feather" in the Imperial Medical Department, it was "the official family's illness is getting lighter, and there seem to be signs of great haode." For this unexpected situation, which could not have happened to Chai Rong, who was seriously ill and terminally ill in the eyes of the vast majority of doctors, neither the informant in the Taiyi Department nor the local famous doctor specially summoned by the Beiping Army to analyze the Chai Rong case obtained from the palace room of the Kaifeng branch of the "Dark Feather" could not give a reasonable medical explanation, and could only attribute the reason to the fact that the Chai Guan's family was in a comfortable and happy mood because Concubine Lin Xian gave birth to Lin'er, and the illness was washed away by the joy of giving birth to a child. There are also a few Lang Zhong who think that it may be "back to the light", but in the face of this situation of returning for a month, Lang Zhong is obviously not confident enough when he says this idea, let alone convince other peers.

Although the traversers will not believe the so-called "Chongxi" statement, they dare not slack off on this news. After all, once Chai Rong really recovered from this serious illness and recovered his health, then the crossing team had previously based on the historical development of the previous life, based on Chai Rong's illness and death, the young master's accession to the throne, the young master's suspicion, and Zhao Kuangyin's inference that Zhao Kuangyin took the opportunity to "add a yellow robe", the "Jianye No. 1 Operation" Jihua would lose the most important and fundamental premise for its implementation - in the face of Chai Rong, a powerful emperor with great wisdom and martial arts and outstanding military achievements, whether it is Zhao Kuangyin or Zhang Yongde, or other shili who covet the dragon chair, neither have the courage to usurp the throne, nor do they have the strength of "yellow robes". As long as Chai Rong is alive for one day, being a loyal and patriotic loyal minister and good general will be their best choice.

Therefore, after receiving the news from Zheng Zhiwei, the crossing team immediately held an enlarged meeting of the committee to discuss the situation. Because of the importance of the matter, not only were all the brothers who were eligible to attend the meeting in Beiping absent, but even Qian Yuanshan, Li Junwu, Zhou Lei, Liu Wendong and others who were in other places also participated in the discussion and voting through the radio.

After nearly two hours of consultation and discussion, the final meeting made several decisions:

First, until there is conclusive evidence to prove that the news about Chai Rong's gradual illness and physical recovery is incorrect, the implementation of the "Jianye No. 1 Operation" Jihua is temporarily suspended.

Second, the Intelligence Department ("Dark Feather") was mobilized to investigate Chai Rong's illness and physical condition in Kaifeng City, especially in the Imperial Palace, and adjusted the time interval for the "Hidden Garden" to regularly report Chai Rong's illness from once a week to once a day.

Third, order the agents lurking around Zhang Yongde, Zhao Kuangyin, and other leaders of the court, always pay attention to their monitoring and probing targets' every move, and timely feedback on how these people reacted and acted after receiving the news that Chai Rong's illness was getting lighter and his body was getting better. In particular, it is necessary to make good use of Xu Xinsheng's line, and on the premise of ensuring his own safety, it is necessary to transmit all kinds of news about Zhao Kuangyin as quickly as possible, so as to prevent these high-ranking and powerful guys from being carried away by the desire for power and forcibly launching a coup d'état and rebellion when they lose their minds -- even if the possibility of such a situation is very small, it is indispensable to take precautions.

Fourth, it is necessary to speed up the formation of new units of the "Flying Dragon Army" to provide sufficient guarantees for the stability and security of the Beiping Army. At the same time, in order to avoid overstimulating Chai Rong and prematurely breaking the existing delicate balance and tacit understanding between the Beiping Army and the imperial court, there was even a situation where Chai Rong was desperate and desperate to start a head-on confrontation with the Beiping Army in a hard-fought manner. The Military Department should act in a high-profile manner, and on the premise of ensuring the safety of the Beiping Army, carry out a certain number of reductions in the "security army" with great fanfare and great momentum, so as to appease the heart of Chairong.

Fifth, it is necessary to speed up the production of equipment, speed up the construction of the Taiyuan production base, and increase the reserve of various materials, weapons, and ammunition, so as to be able to provide sufficient logistical support for all units of the Beiping Army and enable them to be invincible in the confrontation with any adversary.

With the decision made, the brothers of the Beiping Army immediately took action. On the one hand, the news from the palace of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the court, and the ministers around the ministers continued to gather like snowflakes in the "Hidden Garden", and after Zheng Zhiwei's analysis and summary, it was sent to the Beiping Military Jiedu Mansion and Wang Kunjun and other members through radio waves. On the other hand, while secretly stepping up the training of new recruits and forming the Third Composite Infantry Division of the "Flying Dragon Army," the Military Department selected a small number of "security forces" units with weak combat effectiveness and a relatively short period of establishment, and disbanded and dismantled them in various high-profile and conspicuous ways. Thus, with the cooperation and support of other departments of the team, especially the production bases of the Ministry of Science and Technology, which are going all out, working day and night, and working overtime, the armed forces of the crossing team have been slightly reduced in quantity, but they have been improved in quality, and the quantity has been reduced without reducing the quality, and the number of people has not been reduced.

In addition, with the full cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, the Logistics Department, the Finance Department, and other departments, whether it is food, materials, money, or funds, they are piled up as much as possible and the quantity is sufficient, so as to meet the needs of a war that is much larger than the Battle of the Clouds.

After making a series of adjustments and preparations, the crossing team settled down and waited patiently, waiting for the news about whether Chai Rong was terminally ill or recovered.
