When the sky dawned, the sound of the rain outside gradually lowered, and the sky was still black and blue, revealing a bit of full glaze in the cold and faint.

There was no light in the office of the military headquarters, and a hazy light was reflected in front of the window, light as frost. Outside the window, the rain was continuous, the void was shrouded in mist, and it was dark and dreary from far and near. Su Huiyi leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, his ears were rustling with wind and rain, and listening to it like this, the sleepiness dissipated unconsciously.

Lin Ning knocked on the door and walked in, saying, "Seventh Shao, the commanders of the various military regions are arguing. ”

Su Huiyi opened his eyes, looked out the window at the rainy curtain, and said: "When these people heard about my assassination, they ran back one by one to seize power, regardless of the overall situation in the south, no wonder the front line suffered defeats one after another. ”

He stroked his forehead, "How is Li Hongwang there?" ”

Lin Ning nodded cautiously and said, "Commander Li has already arrived at the front line of Changzhou, and he has also communicated with several division commanders stationed in Changzhou, and they are all determined to follow Qishao. ”

Su Huiyi put his hand on the defense map, gently knocked on the Changzhou boundary above, and said slowly: "Inform Li Hongwang to start fighting, and by the way, inform those division commanders that whoever kills He Fei is the overseer of Changzhou." ”

Lin Ning thought that this time Li Hongwang went to Changzhou, ostensibly communicating with several division commanders of the Eleventh Army, but in fact, it was to provoke their civil war, and now it was He Fei who was stationed in Changzhou, he was originally Su Shengbai's old department, and was sent to Changzhou as an overseer, and he didn't want to fight together, but he declared independence.

He was already a suspicious person, and once he knew that several division commanders under him had the intention of rebellion, he was afraid that if they didn't need to take action, the civil war on the front line of Changzhou would not stop.

Lin Ning thought for a while before saying, "Seventh Shao, now that He Fei is at war with the Pingjia Army, why don't we wait?" ”

Su Huiyi waved his hand, "Do you think He Fei is an idle person, he has endured humiliation for so many years, and he has taken advantage of the war situation to declare independence, but he will inevitably fall into the name of being ungrateful to the master, do you think he wants to start a war with the Pingjia Army?" It's just a choice made out of desperation for the sake of fame. ”

He stood up and buttoned his collar casually, "He Fei is more ambitious, and he is not bold enough, so he is not afraid." It's Zhang Peiyuan, if this scourge is not eliminated, the south will not be peaceful. ”

Lin Ning said: "What are the seven young people going to do? ”

Su Huiyi walked to the window and saw the light rain outside, and the sky gradually brightened up at this time, and there were gray clouds at the end of the canopy, like a faint ink, outlining a few shallow strokes.

The rain curtain in front of me rustled, like a fog and rain in late autumn.

He turned and walked out, "Go to the conference room." Along the way to the third floor, I saw the heavy guards at the door, Su Huiyi walked to the door, and heard someone inside: "Now that the south is under attack, since we are all unwilling to share power, it is better to fight each other!" ”

It was Shi Minghan, commander of the Seventh Military Region, who spoke, and as soon as his words spoke, they attracted a lot of echoes. Su Huiyi was pacing at the door expressionlessly, and heard Shi Minghan say again: "We are all people who followed the commander to conquer the south and the north, and now we are being turned around by a group commanded by a yellow-mouthed child, are you convinced?" Since the abdication of the big marshal, he has been in a hurry to show goodwill to the north! Please ask Gu Jun to mediate the war in our southland! What is this?! There was a rumor outside, saying that he killed his father and brother! Da Shuai and the second son are afraid that they will die a long time ago! ”

Shi Minghan said more and more indignant, "Now that he has been assassinated and injured, we old ministers can't be at his mercy like this!" ”

Su Huiyi raised his chin, the guards hurriedly opened the door, he strode in, and asked lightly, "What are Uncle Shi's plans?" Speak up and listen. ”

As soon as everyone in the reception room saw him walk in, they all stood up in an instant, although the expressions on their faces were indistinguishable, they all gave a military salute and called for the seven young people. Su Huiyi walked to the front of the first seat, looked around everyone calmly, and said in a deep voice: "You are all my father's old department, and it is said that it should not be deployed by me, a junior." But Qingying is not talented, and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by his father, so he should take on this responsibility. ”

He paused, turned his eyes to Shi Minghan, and said: "You are all meritorious men who expanded the territory with my father, and now that the south is trapped in many ways, you don't think about how to repel the enemy army, but you divide power and seize power in your own territory, is this a rebellion?" ”

He slowly took off his military hat, and the broken hair on his forehead was soft and black, and his facial features were even more handsome and distinct. At this time, the eyebrows turned cold, and those eyes looked unfazed, but deep like the boundless dark night.

Everyone waited with bated breath, looking at each other and not daring to speak. Shi Minghan seemed to come prepared, and asked without fear: "Since Qi Shao said it, then I will ask you, how is the body of the handsome man now?" Everyone is here today, you might as well give us a solid foundation, and also make us feel at ease. ”

Su Huiyi smiled, took out a cigarette and lit it, and took a puff before instructing Lin Ning behind him, "Read it." ”

Lin Ning got the order, so he took the document handed over by the attendant behind him, opened it and read, "Seventh Young Rongyu, our seven divisions have all been reorganized, and Qin Sheng, chief of staff of the Seventh Military Region, has written it himself. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Shi Minghan on the other side had already stood up and scolded: "His grandmother's, you little rabbit cub dare to yin Lao Tzu!" ”

Su Huiyi smiled, "Uncle Shi, I advise you to recognize the current situation." ”

Seeing that Shi Minghan was put on a junior, he was furious in his heart, and said to the commanders of the other military regions: "This kid deceived us into Jinling by the assassination, but secretly seized our military power!" Do you still support such a person? ”

The faces of the commanders of several military regions were very ugly, but no one dared to say anything at this juncture. Shi Minghan was so angry that he took out the pistol on his waist and pointed it at Su Huiyi, and said hatefully: "I can't get out today, so it's better to take you to the funeral!" ”

The guards behind him hurriedly rushed over, grabbed Shi Minghan on the one hand, and snatched the gun in his hand on the other, so entangled, the muzzle of the gun fired two shots upward, "bang" twice, and the crystal lamp shook up.

Su Huiyi saw Shi Minghan struggling and scolding, so he threw the cigarette in his hand, neatly took out the gun, shot him in the chest, and said lightly: "Take him down." ”

Everyone saw that Shi Minghan had lost his breath when he spoke, and when they looked at Su Huiyi again, they were a little more afraid. Su Huiyi said: "In the past, it was expedient that I invited the north to mediate, but now that the news of my assassination has been released, it has attracted a traitor like Uncle Shi, and it is not all good." ”

He paused, "It's wartime, and many of Qingying's decisions are involuntary, and I ask you to abide by your duties and work together to overcome this difficult time." ”

The commanders of several military regions originally had their own thoughts, but seeing that Shi Minghan had given his life and the military power was handed over to Su Huiyi, in order to protect themselves, they had to show their loyalty at this moment, and they repeatedly said echoing words.

Su Huiyi knew that these people were all fighting on the tip of the knife, and now that the war situation in the south was tight, he had to coax while fighting, and after thinking about it, he said: "Now Fusang is pressing step by step, if you don't repel them as soon as possible, it will only let the north sit on the advantage of the fisherman, I don't know what the commanders think?" ”

Now, except for He Fei's 10th and 11th armies, and Zhang Peiyuan's 12th and 13th armies declaring independence, except for Su Huiyi's henchmen, only the commanders of the first, eighth, and ninth military regions have not yet expressed their position. Seeing Shi Minghan's fate, even if these three commanders were anti-minded, they had to suppress their anger first.

Zhao Qin, commander of the First Military Region, said: "We people have not made any progress in fighting back and forth, so let's listen to the dispatch of the Seventh Youth." After he finished speaking, he saw that the attendant led Su Qingyang in, he was wearing a military uniform, his eyebrows were still fierce, he looked around at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Su Huiyi, and said, "Old Seven, I'm not late." ”

Su Huiyi raised his eyebrows, "Second brother just missed a good show. ”

He turned to the crowd and lightly ordered, "Now that the Second and Fourth Armies are insufficient, I mean to reorganize the army and merge several military regions, I don't know what you think?" ”

Several commanders were dumbfounded when they heard this, because once the army was reorganized, their hard-earned henchmen and troops would be in vain. It's just that in the current situation, a few people don't dare to say anything. In the end, it was Zhao Qin who said: "Qishao, the current war is tight, and it is not easy to be too hasty in the mobilization of troops. ”

Su Huiyi turned his head to look at Su Qingyang, "What does the second brother mean?" ”

Su Qingyang came to the meeting this time, because he accepted Su Shengbai's strict order, although he had relatives, but when it came to such a big time, he still decided to suspend personal grievances and solve the predicament of Nandi first.

He thought for a while, and Fang said: "Now Fusang has repeatedly invaded the southern land, the first is because of improper command, and the second is that the people's hearts are weak. ”

He paced slowly around the table, and said lightly: "Now Fusang is pressing step by step, but our people are still choosing to retreat as advance, and even during the battle with Lu Yuping, they directly abandoned the city and fled!" What is the reason for giving away the first-line towns? ”

After he finished speaking, he patted Zhao Qin on the shoulder, "Commander Zhao, as the so-called strong generals have no weak soldiers, now Lao Qi wants to reorganize the army, which is the most effective way to benefit the battle situation." Do you say yes? ”

Zhao Qin breathed a sigh, he knew that the people were trapped in Jinling at the moment, that is, the fish and meat on the chopping board were slaughtered, the army was thousands of miles away, and it was difficult to ensure that a new master had been established in the army, he remembered Shi Minghan's fate, and couldn't help but say: "My First Military Region supports the reorganization of the army by the Seventh Youth." ”

Seeing this, the other two commanders also chimed in: "We also support the reorganization of the army by the Seventh Youth. ”

Su Huiyi nodded and said: "A few uncles have been away from home for a few days, they should miss their families very much, Qingying sympathizes with your uncles, and specially took them over to reunite with you. ”
