As the sixth New Year that the travel team has spent in this time and space since the time travel, the night of Chinese New Year's Eve in the ninth year of the calendar (the sixth year of Xiande) seems a little special. Although the Chinese New Year's Eve Gala was still full of laughter and excitement, not only did he show his talents one by one and performed many programs, but even the fourth brother Yu Xuzi, who has always liked to be quiet and rarely played crazy with his brothers, as the fourth eldest of the thirty-six brothers of "Qingyuan", no matter how indifferent to fame and fortune and how quiet and inactive Yu was, when his brothers were about to do a great job, he was inevitably involved, and therefore had to take the Quanguan disciples to Xiayunling and live in" Liangyuan" - all at the unanimous request of everyone, they danced a sword on the stage. However, unlike the relaxed, comfortable and leisurely New Year in the past, at this year's Chinese New Year's Eve party, all the brothers were more excited, more excited, or it can also be called "playing crazy".

However, in the face of the brothers' shouting and singing and dancing, including several committee members, the relatively older and more mature traversers did not come forward to stop it, but let the brothers vent their emotions there. Because they know very well the reason why the brothers behave this way - the big war is coming, and the brothers who are about to participate in this big war will inevitably have some emotional fluctuations, excitement, nervousness, excitement, and maybe a little apprehension and uneasiness. Although the emotions of the brothers are more excited and excited, and less nervous and apprehensive, no matter what kind of emotions need to be alleviated and released, so that the brothers do not bring these emotions to work and life, and then affect themselves and the whole team. And it is precisely in view of the fact that these emotions are normal reactions in people's hearts when the war is coming. Therefore, in the view of the committee and several elderly travelers, instead of suppressing these emotions by forceful means, it is better to use the method of channeling, so that everyone can release these emotions at the right time, in the right place, and in the right way. In this way, it can not only relieve the psychological pressure of the brothers, but also will not have a substantial impact on the normal operation of the crossing team and the upcoming big battle.

Although with the strength of the crossing team, it should be in a very strong position in the upcoming battle, and there should be no problem in winning this battle and picking up the fruits of those victories that the crossing team envisioned before the battle. But as the saying goes, "the world is unpredictable", before the end of this war, no one dares to be 100% sure that things will go in the direction envisioned by the crossing team. As the time-traveling team existed longer in this era, the deviation between this era and the era recorded in the history books of previous lives became more and more obvious. Not to mention anything else, just saying that the time of Chai Rong's Northern Expedition to Youyun is already much worse than what is recorded in the history books of his previous life.

According to the "History of the Old Five Dynasties" in the previous life, Chai Rong issued an edict on the Northern Expedition at the end of the third month of the lunar calendar in the sixth year of Xiande, and arrived in Cangzhou in the middle of April of the lunar calendar. Later, due to Chai Rong's sudden serious illness, he had to return to the court in the middle of May of the lunar calendar. And in this time and space, if the news from Xu Shaoan is accurate, then Chai Rong will issue an edict at the end of the first month of the lunar calendar and arrive in Cangzhou in the middle and late second month of the lunar calendar. Then, the battle of the clouds, which was supposed to take place in April and May of the lunar calendar, is now likely to take place in the third and fourth months of the lunar calendar or even in February and March.

Since the timing of the war may change, the outcome of the war may also change. If the Zhou army's northern expedition was not met with Liao officials and guards who surrendered to the wind, but the so-called "loyal and righteous people" who swore to defend the city; If Xiao Siwen Xiao of the Liao State stayed behind, he was not as timid and afraid of war as recorded in the history books, but led the main force of the Youyun Liao army to fight bravely; If the Zhou army did not occupy Sanzhou, Sanguan, and 17 counties almost bloodlessly, but the attack was repeatedly frustrated, and it was stagnant at the junction of Liao and Zhou. Then, with the Zhou army's smooth northward march and the army's advance into Gu'an as the best conditions for the uprising, the crossing team will have to give up the most favorable action plan for themselves, and instead face the main force of the Youyun Liao army that has just defeated the Zhou army and the high morale of the Liao army and the reinforcements of the Liao brigade led by the Liao emperor himself.

Although judging from the strength of the "Flying Dragon Army" mastered by the crossing team, even if the Liao army in the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures region alone is the Liao army that has come to reinforce, it will not be left behind. But if this is the case, then the losses of the "Flying Dragon Army" itself will definitely be much greater than according to the best plan. Second, such a battle will certainly last much longer than according to the optimal scenario. Once the struggle between the two sides fell into a protracted period, not to mention whether the frustrated Hou Zhou army would take advantage of the fire to rob and "pick peaches", just talking about the consequences of the losses suffered by the various industries of the crossing team, I am afraid that it could not afford it - the war, the panic of the people and the various hustles brought about by the crossing of the army, the various industries and trading shops under the name of the "Datong Commercial Bank" of the crossing team will definitely be affected - either the business is clear, or even the door cannot be opened. In this way, it is equivalent to cutting off the source of funds for the crossing team, which far exceeds the daily income. Without the huge profits brought by the "Datong Commercial Bank," it will not only seriously affect the production and procurement of logistical materials, especially ammunition, but also seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the "Flying Dragon Army." It is also difficult to say whether the crossing team will have the ability to raise so many soldiers at that time. ,

Therefore, although the traversers of the Ministry of Military, the Ministry of Security and other departments were full of confidence on the surface, they behaved easily in the face of the coming war. But with the responsibility of "laying a foundation for the future development of the team", they are still under great pressure in their hearts. And the huge investment that the crossing team has invested in the military Liliang in the past few years and the high hopes placed on this armed force make it necessary for them to fight this ambush. Therefore, what they are most afraid of and worried about now is that because of their own command mistakes, the battle that should have been won is not won, or the big victory becomes a small victory, and the small victory becomes no victory. The psychology of wanting to win and being afraid of losing exists in almost every one of them, and it has brought them a lot of psychological burden.

On the other hand, departments such as the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, which are very closely connected with the local people and most need a stable and peaceful social environment for their own development and growth, generally have a feeling of gaining and losing. From the bottom of their hearts, these traversers are the ones who want political stability the most, and they are the most reluctant to fight. Once the war starts, not only will the various industries and trading shops under the name of the team's "Chase Commercial Bank" be affected, but they will also lose the platform to display their talents and show their abilities. Although war is about logistics, the commander who leads the troops to fight is always the brightest star in the war. Moreover, the logistics in wartime were the responsibility of the Ministry of Materials Management and the Ministry of Military Affairs, and had nothing to do with the Ministry of Commerce and Trade - even the money spent on the construction of these war materials was earned by the brothers of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade.

It is precisely because whether it is the "main battle faction" who wants to prove themselves with this war, or the "main peace faction" who is unwilling to affect their position in the team because of this war, there are "hearts" of one kind or another, and they need a suitable channel to ease the pressure brought by these "hearts" to themselves, so as not to suffocate themselves from illness. Therefore, the committee and several older brothers adopted a limited and indulgent attitude towards the brothers' more excessive and crazy actions at the Spring Festival Gala, so as to give everyone a chance to vent their feelings. And the result of this indulgence is that after a night of carnival, except for the top five Li Junwu, Zhou Lei, Yu Wende, Yu Xuozi, Wang Kunjun, and Zhang Xiaofei, who just gave birth to a healthy and beautiful daughter for Wang Kunjun less than a month ago - Wang Yue - other traversers - including all other female traversers - were carried back to their residences by domestic servants - Zhang Weixin was "received" on behalf of Wang Kunjun and was "put down" by the brothers in battle.

However, whether it is the catharsis of the brothers or the indulgence of several brothers, there is a limit to how long it lasts. On the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, after everyone got together again to eat a meal of "broken five" dumplings, all work was back on track.

At noon on the twentieth day of the first month of the ninth year of Yingli (the sixth year of Xiande), the crossing team committee received an urgent telegram from Xu Shao'an - on the twentieth morning of the first month of the sixth year of Xiande, Chai Rong officially issued a holy decree: the northern border has not been restored, and Cangzhou will be fortunate within this month. With the Xuanhui Southern Court envoy Wu Yanzuo as the right to stay in Tokyo, he was sentenced to Kaifeng government affairs; With Xuanhui North Court envoy Zan Jurun as the deputy envoy; The three envoys Zhang Mei were deployed as the internal capital
