Autumn of 1095 in the Terra calendar.

In the past six months, Yanguo and Usas have been entangled in border issues, and there have even been more than ten conflicts, large and small.

In order to take into account the overall situation as much as possible, Yan Guo did not announce the news of the conflict, and only attributed the dead and wounded soldiers to the border security incident.

However, Yan Guo's repeated forbearance was exchanged for Ursas's intensification.

The Usas Infected Clearance Team was ordered by their superiors to continue to drive infected people to the border, with the aim of allowing these infected people to flood into the mainland of Yan.

If you can't bear it, you don't need to endure it anymore, if you don't explode in silence, you can only perish in silence.

In this regard, the high-level leaders of Yanguo finally couldn't sit still.

.....

On that day, no one in the Ursas military knew exactly what had happened, they only knew that the infected eradication team that had been hovering in the border area of the Yan country had disappeared.

This battle-hardened, well-equipped, and 2,000-strong clearance team was not defeated, captured, or killed, but suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

In the aftermath, the Ursas military department sent professionals to track down the whereabouts of the infected eradication team.

However, the last vestiges left by this team were the potholes left by the iron hooves.

The earth was red, but there was no visible bloodstain, as if it had been stained red by something finer than blood.

In the end, the Ursas military ruled out the source stone technique, ruled out the natural disaster, and ruled out the sneak attack of the Yan country, which could only be attributed to a bizarre disappearance that could not be known for the time being.

It was precisely because of this strange incident that Ursas temporarily stopped the purge of infected people that had lasted for half a year.

At this point, the border between Ursas and Yanguo ushered in a short period of stability.

.....

After the crisis with Usas was resolved, the high-level officials of Yanguo could finally turn their attention back to China from the border, because the "cancer" of Yandong had deteriorated to the point where it could not be ignored.

In the past six months, Yan Dong has almost ignored all the secret orders issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Yan, whether it is an inquiry, an order, or an order at the highest level, all of them have been lost in the sea, and no reply has been made.

In addition, Yandong's plan to contain the infected has continued, and no one knows how far it has developed now.

Of course, none of this is the most important thing.

Because of the rapid development of the economy, Yandong has had a huge influence in the world, just half a month ago, Sami announced that it had officially signed an international trade treaty with Yandong.

It was this treaty that completely violated the bottom line of the top level of Yanguo, because it meant that Yandong already had signs of independence in the world.

Previously, because of the tension with Usas, the high-level officials of the Yan State had no intention of asking about it, but now, the Yan State can no longer condone the independence of Yan Dong, which is a matter of principle.

Because if this continues, Yanguo will completely lose the significance of establishing the Yandong Special Economic Zone in the first place.

.....

.....

Yandong, the capital of Yandong City.

The weather in early autumn was very comfortable, the desk window was open, and a withered yellow leaf drifted in with the wind and fell on the desk in the summer breeze.

When Xia Feng learns of the strange disappearance that took place on the northern border between Ursas and the Yan Kingdom, the last batch of infected immigrants from Victoria have arrived without incident.

At the same time, all 100 communities of infected people in Yandong have also been built.

For half a year, Xia Feng's face grew fine stubble, and the whole person became a lot more mature.

Although he hasn't grown too old, everyone who sees him now no longer thinks he's a young man like before.

The Shenyue Knife lay quietly on the desk, and in the past six months, the blade had hardly been unsheathed once, however, the slumber did not affect its sharpness.

At this time, Zhou Liang walked into the office again, and unlike his previous reports, his expression was a little solemn.

"My lord, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent another secret order."

Xia Feng's voice was understated.

"Just like before, throw it away."

Zhou Liang didn't do so, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a deep meaning in his voice.

"My lord, this time may be a little different."

"Oh? What's the difference. ”

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs said in the secret order that you are required to go to Fengyang City immediately to resume your life, saying that there is an important matter to discuss, and it is ......"

"And what?"

Zhou Liang replied cautiously.

"And there is a sentence added later, this secret order must not be ignored or refused, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

Hearing Zhou Liang's words, Xia Feng let out a string of laughter.

"Hahahahahahahaha

He laughed heartily and staggered, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

After laughing out loud for a few moments, he finally stopped laughing.

With the corners of his mouth raised, he muttered as he looked at the withered yellow leaves outside the desk window.

"It's useless, it's too late."

.....

As a person who has witnessed the development of Yandong from a backward place to the present, Zhou Liang certainly knows what Xia Feng meant when he said "it's too late".

It's not that it's too late for the governor to go to Fengyang City to recover his life.

Instead, it was too late for the Yan State to interfere in the Yandong region.

.....

A few days later.

Because there was no reply from Yandong, the Ministry of Internal Affairs could only issue an ultimatum jointly with the Great Yan army in a helpless situation.

The Ministry of the Interior stated in a secret order that the Governor of Yandong needed to be suspended for investigation due to his lack of ability to communicate with the interior, and immediately demanded that Yandong lift the blockade and allow the North China Military Region to be stationed and take over.

Seeing this ultimatum, Xia Feng was very pleased.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs was able to hold back the words "the governor's lack of ability", it seems that he still left the last face for both sides, but unfortunately, he did not feel that he had anything "wrong".

Communication is mutual, but also equal, just like walking on the road, suddenly someone wants to sing a song "Confession Balloon" with you, at this time, whether it is acceptance or rejection, it is normal.

Sing if you want to, don't sing if you don't want to, because I rejected you, and you say that I lack communication skills?

Sorry, but in that case, he can only prove that he may be lacking more than just communication skills.

....

The ultimatum of the Ministry of the Interior was issued jointly with the North China Military Region, and Yanguo adopted the system of integration of military and government, that is, the highest power commander of the North China Military Region was the Governor of North China, Lin Hong.

Of course, up to now, neither Yan Guoxiang nor Lin Hong wants to solve this matter by force.

To be reasonable, Yandong already belongs to the Yan country, if he uses force in this matter, it will belong to civil strife, no matter what the result is, it will always be a great Yan, and it may even cause Ursas to take advantage of the situation and stir up trouble again.

Therefore, the mobilization of the North China Military Region is only to show an attitude.

It probably means [Governor Xia, it's better for everyone to give each other a step down, and persuade you not to close yourself anymore, otherwise the North China Military Region will forcibly enter Yandong, and it will be too embarrassing to be embarrassed].

However, Xia Feng's reply was.

【You can come and try it】

....

As the second largest military region in Yanguo, the North China Military Region has a permanent strength of up to 300,000 troops, and the maximum conscription of reserve troops in wartime can reach 500,000.

After several failed communications, Lin Hong could only follow the supreme order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and mobilize 300,000 troops to the border between North China and Yandong.

The army of 300,000 is ready to enter and take over the Yandong region at any time.

However, when the troops were finally assembled and waiting for further instructions, Lin Hong received the latest report from the scouts.

Hearing this information, the sword that Lin Hong had been playing with before fell to the ground with a "bang".

....

At the same time that the 300,000 troops of the North China Military Region were assembled on the border of Yandong, Yandong, which theoretically did not set up an army, also completed the assembly of troops.

As for the number of people, the scout's face was pale and he didn't say an accurate number for a long time.

Eventually, his answer was.

"The army assembled on the eastern border of Yandong is at least 10 times that of the entire North China Military Region!"

Hearing this number, Lin Hong's legs weakened and he sat down on the ground.

The mouth kept repeating.

"10 times ........... 3 million troops? ”
