On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, thousands of homes are lit up, and the whole country celebrates in its joy!

However, the generals of Heyangguan received a military order: "The whole army of 3,000 nights will attack the southwest border Tongquguan." ”

At eleven o'clock in the evening, under the cover of the night, the three thousand soldiers of the Li family divided into two routes, outflanked left and right to the pass. At this time, the soldiers guarding the pass did not receive the slightest wind in advance, and after the laughter and laughter of the New Year, most of them were immersed in the fragrance of unfinished dreams.

The heavy guns shattered their dreams, and by the time they came to their senses and wanted to resist, Li Jiajun's fierce guns had already blasted through the level.

The news of the fall of Tongquguan woke up the sleeping Bai Jingyi, for the war, Bai Jingyi had already made a series of arrangements, and even planned to declare war on Li Chengjing in the first month, but he never dreamed that Li Chengjing would attack in advance, just because he didn't expect Li Chengjing to know everything about his deployment.

Bai Jingyi urgently telegraphed the front-line generals to quickly gather troops to intercept Li Jiajun, held a military meeting overnight to discuss the battle plan, and at the same time telegraphed Song Jiujue and An Delang, asking them to send troops to attack Li Chengjing according to the original plan.

At dawn on the first day of the first lunar month, with the sound of artillery fire along the coast and in the north, it marked the official declaration of war by the three forces against Li Chengjing. The news of the war spread quickly, and the whole country was panicked, and there was no more atmosphere of the New Year.

Before Li Chengjing decided to attack Tongqu Pass at night, the strong ships and cannons had already been lined up on Yuchi Bay, and the soldiers and horses of the Xiao Gang were also moored at the edge of the harbor on both wings.

Although Andrean's firepower is strong, it is surrounded by three sides, and it can never cross the sea area by half a step.

Li Chengjing did not directly march to the north, and expected that Song Jiujue would definitely reinforce Bai Jingyi, so Li Chengjing sent a three-way army to intercept Song Jiujue's reinforcements.

The Song army was attacked by the ambush of the Li family's army, suffered heavy casualties, and the rescue plan failed. The front could not be supported for a short time, and Song Jiujue could only send troops to detour from the dock of the Lin Gang for reinforcements.

The spies of the Xiao Gang found out the movements of the Song army and reported it to Chen Zui, but because of the gang rules, Chen Zui could not send troops to intercept it, so he could only tell Li Chengjing about the movements of the Song army.

Andrean's invasion aroused the national feelings of Chen, and he wanted to completely shatter the dream of foreign invasion of the country, and ordered an additional 8,000 soldiers and horses and ten warships to be sent to the coast from the sea to reinforce them.

With the help of Chen Zui, Li Chengjing had no worries, and successively increased troops to the front line, gathering a total of 100,000 troops to march to the southwest, breaking through three cities in four months, and approaching Wuheng, the northern gateway of the southwest.

Song Jiujue's reinforcements were reinforced from the dock, and it took time, and they were repeatedly attacked by the Li family's army, all of which failed.

In the face of the menacing Li family's army, Bai Jingyi requisitioned troops around Wuheng to aid Wuheng and ordered to defend the city.

Just when the situation of Li Jiajun was good and morale was high, an unprecedented plague broke out in Ningzhou, and in just one month, the epidemic spread to almost the entire South China region, infected tens of thousands of people, and thousands of deaths.

After the outbreak of the epidemic, Li Chengjing had ordered the rescue of the people in the fastest time, but the spread of the epidemic was as fast as a spark, and no one could have predicted it.

At this time, some subordinates persuaded Li Chengjing to blockade the city, strictly prohibit the leakage of personnel and news, and shake the hearts of the front-line troops. Li Chengjing vetoed it, believing that it would provoke a popular uprising and cause greater unrest.

Li Chengjing ordered all localities to try to appease the people's hearts, and set up quarantine stations at the entrances and exits of each city, and people entering and leaving must be checked to confirm that those who are healthy can enter and exit in an orderly manner. Hospitals in central and southern China and prestigious doctors from all over the country have been rewarded to fight the disaster.

Although the epidemic is difficult to cure, Li Chengjing's approach has stabilized the people's hearts to a large extent.

However, the news of the epidemic spread uncontrollably to the front battlefield, and the soldiers on the front line worried about their loved ones at home, and morale began to decline. Bai Jingyi took the opportunity to send people to add fuel and vinegar to the rear of the Li Jiajun to exaggerate the seriousness of the epidemic, causing even greater panic among the soldiers.

Song Jiujue also exaggerated the epidemic on the northern front, taking advantage of the wavering heart of the Li Jiajun, concentrated firepower to attack the defense line of the Li Jiajun, and the three-way army that went north to intercept the Song army was defeated on all fronts, and the Song army successfully broke the defense and reinforced the southwest.

As soon as the reinforcements arrived, the Bai family army, which had been defending for nearly a month, rekindled its fighting spirit, and the commander of the city defense went out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Li family army under the instruction of Bai Jingyi.

The two armies of Song and Bai attacked back and forth, and defeated the Li army. Subsequently, taking advantage of the victory to pursue, in less than half a month, all the three cities occupied by the Li Jiajun were lost.

Song Bai's army pursued and fought fiercely all the way, and Li Jiajun finally retreated to Heyang Pass.

The situation was reversed, and now the Song and Bai armies were monstrous, and the morale of the Li family army fell to the bottom, only with the forts and strong city walls to defend the Heyang Pass, the soldiers fell into a difficult and bitter battle.

Li Chengjing continued to send additional troops to strictly defend Heyang Pass, but she knew that Heyang Pass could not be held for a long time, and only hoped that the epidemic could be lifted before Heyang Pass was lost, and then reorganize her forces to fight a decisive battle with the Song and Bai armies.

When the news of the epidemic reached Jingu, Chen Zui and others were worried about their relatives and called to express their condolences. Chen Zui was more worried about Li Chengjing's current situation.

One night, Leng Chuxian suddenly came to his room crying, "Chen Zui, my father is critically ill, I want Liucheng now." ”

Chen Zui was surprised, "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”

Leng Chuxian choked up and said: "My brother called and said that my father suddenly fell ill three days ago, and at first he thought it was an ordinary flu, but after diagnosis, he was diagnosed with the plague. My brother said that he couldn't move now, he couldn't speak, and he couldn't hold it anymore. As he spoke, he began to cry bitterly.

Chen Zui hugged her, and Leng Chuxian cried even more in his arms. Chen Zui said softly: "Uncle Ji has his own natural appearance, don't worry, in this way, I will accompany you back now." ”

Chen Zui immediately asked people to prepare a car, and Chen Youwei was electrified, so that he could take full authority to handle the affairs of the gang. Chen Zui also heard about the situation outside, and then he called Li Chengjing and asked her to make it convenient for her to let the soldiers defending the city accommodate them to enter the city as soon as possible.

After getting into the car, Leng Chuxian's mood calmed down a little, and sitting next to Chen Zui made her gradually feel at ease. The two traveled overnight and arrived in Liucheng at dawn.

The pedestrian procession at the city gate formed a long winding line, everyone wearing protective masks, waiting for doctors and soldiers to check on them.

He got out of the car and explained his identity to the soldiers, Li Chengjing had already ordered, and the soldiers immediately sent them two pairs of masks, and then checked for them to enter the city first.

They rushed back to Kuang's house, and everyone up and down was wearing masks. When he arrived at the room, he was lying on the bed weakly, hanging a hanging bottle.

Guo Yixuan and Zou Bao'er are by his side, Zou Bao'er is already five months pregnant,

"Daddy." Leng Chuxian ran to his father's bedside crying.

Chen Zui also accompanied her to the bedside.

When Qianye saw them come back, his weak face showed relief, "Chu Xian, Chen Zui, you are all back, it's so good, I'm really afraid that I can't wait for you to come." ”

Leng Chu was anxious: "Dad, don't talk nonsense, you will definitely get better." ”

"Brother, go and get a doctor."

Guo Qianye grabbed the corner of her clothes and laughed miserably: "Silly girl, don't be nervous, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, Dad is not afraid, Dad just regrets that he can't see you marry with his own eyes." ”

"No, Dad, you're getting better, I'll be married soon."

Chen Zui took Leng Chuxian's right hand, interlocked his fingers, approached Guo Qianye's side, and said with a smile: "Uncle Guo, Chuxian has agreed to marry me, and we need you to preside over our wedding." ”

Qianye was overjoyed, "Okay, Chen Zui, I handed over Chu Xian to you, you must take good care of Chu Xian and don't let her be hurt in any way." ”

Chen Zui said: "Don't worry, I will use my life to love Chu Xian." ”

"Then I'm relieved... Yi Xuan. ”

Guo Yixuan stepped forward.

"You remember, no matter how turbulent the situation is, you must adhere to the road of industrial salvation and revitalize national industry."

"Dad, I'll remember."

"Bao'er, my good daughter-in-law."

"Daddy."

"In the future, Yixuan and the family will rely on you to take care of it, and the child in your belly, grandpa can't watch him be born, but you have to tell him that grandpa loves him very much and has prepared a lot of gifts for him."

"Dad, I will."

Guo Qianye glanced at everyone, smiled without regret, closed his eyes, and let go.

"Daddy......" There was a cry in the room.

When the family heard that the old man had died, they all wept. After a while, the housekeeper came to persuade Yixuan to mourn and asked him to take care of the master's funeral.

Guo Yixuan restrained his grief and ordered people to prepare for the future. At present, it is impossible to invite any relatives and friends to come, and everything is handled simply, but there are still business partners or friends in the same city who rushed to pay their respects when they heard the news.

Three days later, at the time of the funeral, there were also many people who admired and admired the situation along the street.

After the funeral was over, the family called to inform relatives and friends one by one. Relatives and friends were shocked and sad to hear the bad news, and they regretted that a generation of business giants would die in natural disasters, and they were so lonely when they left.

The family of three came to their father's room again, reminiscing about the bits and pieces, and couldn't help but feel sad. Guo Yixuan opened his father's safe, took out the will made by his father before his death, and read it out in public:

"First, all the businesses under the name of the Kuang family were inherited by the eldest son, Kuang Yixuan, and all the real estate, gold, silver, jewelry and other liquid assets of the Kuang family were jointly owned by the eldest son, Kuang Yixuan, and the eldest daughter, Leng Chuxian. Second, the private seal of Guo Qianye is owned by the eldest daughter Leng Chuxian, and one hundred thousand oceans can be transferred from all banks under the name of the Guo family......"

Qianye wanted to hand over the seal to Leng Chuxian, but Leng Chuxian politely refused: "Brother, you should keep everything my father gave me for me." ”

Zou Bao'er said: "Then we will keep it for you first, and then return it to you when you get married." But Dad just left, and your wedding with Chen Zui will be postponed until a year later. ”

Leng Chu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded lightly.
