Chapter 481: The Calm Before the Storm

Chaojiazhuang, after being dormant for so long, it's time for a showdown!

In August, Chao Gai was fighting overseas, and although Wu Yong didn't mention much about it because of his personal feelings, the Black Snake Guard sent detailed information. Without hesitation, the Chao family army entered a state of war.

Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, and Li Zhu of Jinghu Road, who were sitting in the base camp, all understood the meaning of this order, which was not only a hint that the Wa Kingdom was about to take it down, but also a harbinger of a head-on confrontation with the Song Dynasty from behind the scenes.

Three wise men, start acting immediately!

In addition to the village store in the secluded countryside, the grocery store is deeply hidden. Only Bianliang City, Jinling City, Jingnan City and other important places have not moved.

Scattered all over the place, the restaurants, shops and other industries on the surface were all sold to the local tycoons, wealthy families, or the officials and gentry of the state. After releasing the news in private, in the local area, it was no less than a storm.

These good shops, stable purchase channels, and amazing profits. This made Haoqiang, wealthy and even businessmen rush to take over.

Famous restaurants such as Wangxiang Tower in Yuncheng and Lingxian Pavilion in Jeju are even more popular. Attract local strong bidding competition, and the highest bidder wins.

This alone has brought millions of yuan in income to Chaojiazhuang. These experienced and intelligent shopkeepers and associates all moved overseas, where they continued to open shops and gather intelligence, guide and assist in stabilizing the situation, and shine brightly.

In just two or three months, restaurants and shops around the country have changed their owners. In other words, these people who take over the restaurant and shop are equivalent to franchisees!

In order to ensure the stability of the purchase channels, new restaurants and shops will be set up in other places. There will be a dedicated informant to contact the business. It will have an impact on Chaojiazhuang's business, and the net profit will definitely decline. However, the technology and production line are firmly controlled, and the losses are manageable.

The Skynet organization is basically dormant, and non-emergency information will not be transmitted. The liaison station is hidden deeper and changes its location from time to time.

The biggest change is that Chaojiazhuang purchases all kinds of materials from the outside world. threatens to collect as much as you want, and give full play to the last residual heat of Bai Dao's identity.

This makes caravans from all over the world flock to it!

It also made the eunuchs and Cai Taishi in the court smile.

Unknowingly, the sleeping lion of Chaojiazhuang was finally about to show its fangs.

Beginning in October, murderous divisions arrived at Liangshan by boat. Then quietly returned to the Chaojiazhuang military camp overnight.

As the elite of the city grows, the guards are no longer empty.

Zhiduoxing Wu breathed a long sigh of relief, he was really afraid that he would affect his brother because of his own affairs. Fortunately, the overseas war ended and there was a base area. Chao Jiajun has changed from a rootless ping to a big tree, just waiting to spread its branches and leaves.

Very little is known about this change in the city.

At the end of November, a small snowfall turns the ground white.

The clouds are rolling and the wind is cold. Chao Gai led the guards to disembark and return to Chaojiazhuang. The civil official Wu Yong, Xiao Jiasui as the leader, the military generals Su Ding, Han Shizhong as the main, led many civil and military generals in two rows, waiting at the dock.

When he saw Chao Gai, he bowed in unison and shouted "Greetings to my brother".

It was no longer as scattered as before, and they came to surround Chao Gai in a chaotic manner, waving their hands and squeezing forward, and the crowd was angry, as if they were fighting.

After a few months, Chao Gai saw this group of old brothers again, like a queue above the court, inexplicably welling up with a kind of melancholy, as well as a faint nostalgia.

He knew that his identity was different, and he would never go back to the past.

Chao Gai is no longer obsessed with the concept of equality, but he will not forget to share weal and woe. greeted Wu Yong, Xiao Jiasui, Su Ding and others one by one and chatted about the things during this time, and was surrounded and returned to Chaofu, which had been absent for several months.

Before I got to the backyard, I saw Master Li, Li Qingzhao, and Li Qingwan hurried over with the child in her arms, and when she saw him, the woman's eyes were moist. Holding the child and rushing to the front, his eyes were full of tears, only affectionate.

"Husband, you're finally back?"

Chao Gai looked at the three beautiful but slightly haggard women, and reached out to smooth the women's windswept hair, wanting to hug them.

It's just that this move was disturbed by them holding their three children.

Chao Wen and Chao Yun are half a year old, Chao Ying is one month younger, and the three little guys are staring at their father with big black and white eyes. I saw him hug his mother with open hands, waving his little hands and hitting him.

Babbling, so cute!

"Hahaha, my kind of personality is like me!"

Chao Gai felt the small fist that fell on his body, was stunned, and looked up to the sky and laughed. Then he took the three little ones in his arms and pricked them with his beard. The three little ones laughed happily, and the little chubby hand pulled his beard that had not been shaved in March. Li Qingzhao, Li Qingwan, and Master Li were smiling with tears next to them.

Huazi, Hu Sanniang, Yelu Tali looks at the cute baby and is envious!

After being away from home for half a year, the husband and wife were reunited, and there was indescribable lovesickness.

Chao Gai returned to the house and spent three days with his wife and children. Tell them about the war abroad and learn about the situation in the house.

After that, Wu Yong began to be summoned, and Xiao Jiasui and others began to discuss major matters, and listened to the intelligence summary collected by the three major intelligence departments from various places one by one. In this hectic process, the time is getting closer and closer to the end of the year.

Sure enough, as Wu Yong worried, although Song Huizong Zhao Ji was mediocre and lustful, he was not stupid. Realizing that Zhao Yuannu shirked and visited relatives and friends was just an excuse. In a fit of rage, another team came from Bianliang City.

Or a team of angels led by a cabinet chief!

did not notify the officials of the state, but came directly to Chaojiazhuang in disguise. The purpose was to let Zhao Yuannu immediately set off to return to Bianliang City.

A team of heavily armed gold-armored guards represents royal majesty.

Anyone who dares to say half a word is disrespectful, and he will be exterminated by the Nine Clans.

"Zhao Kuishou, let's tell you the truth, the saint has been in a very bad mood recently, and even you can't give him face. Long Yan was furious and ordered you to return immediately. You know the consequences, so let's not talk about it! ”

Surrounded by the guards, the angel squinted at the man and said so. Zhao Yuannu, a woman's family, was a little afraid in the face of the lord of a country, his face turned pale, and he couldn't stop trembling at the thought of the consequences of being arrested.

The eunuch dog took advantage of the power of the people and shouted even more, thinking that the emperor of Bianliang City was supreme and the whole world, who would dare to resist the decree and disrespect?

But he was wrong, and he was destined to meet when he came to Chaojiazhuang.

Zhiduoxing Wu led the team to pour in with a hula la, and there were two or three hundred people, all of them fully armed, and surrounded the group of gold-armored guards with great momentum. Then he suddenly rushed up and pushed them to the ground.

The eunuch was kicked over by Wu Junshi, and he picked up the woman and comforted her.

"Bold, presumptuous, we are the imperial court guards, do you dare to rebel?" The angels and the many gold-armored guards were full of hideous faces and shouted wildly.

"Rebellion? Hehehe! Wu Yong laughed when he remembered the scene where Chao Gai once pulled himself to rebel. looked at the group of angels with gloomy eyes: "No matter how you insult and rebel, then we will really rebel." Only you pickled pourers are waiting for the GIs to go south to sacrifice the flag. ”

The eunuchs and guards were escorted away in a daze, their eyes showing despair.

Since you have decided to tear your face, then go all out.

seized this group of angels from Bianliang City, and Song Huizong, who did not wait for a reply, estimated that he would send someone to inquire again, and it would take at least a month to come and go, and it would coincide with the Chinese New Year, and the soldiers would press the border, at least two or three months.

This is enough for Chaojiazhuang to prepare. The order for the all-arms war was issued everywhere.

Hug the calf mountain village, Erlongshan village, and Yinmachuan village to strengthen vigilance and wait for orders at any time. Most of the livestock in the cattle and sheep trading market were transferred......

Food and supplies have been hoarded since a few months ago, and the city has enough supplies to last a million people for a few years, and there is no need to worry about food.

The focus is on preparing the equipment to defend the city.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were divided into multiple routes, collecting suitable rolling logs, artillery stones and other equipment, a bed crossbow, and catapults were installed on the city wall, facing the west near the water, mainly with the south, north and east sections of the city wall to arrange defenses. The strength of the ten gates was quietly changed from one battalion to two.

The ten?

They are the six that have been added in the past few months, two each in the south and east, one in the west and one in the north, and ten in addition to the original doors.

In addition to convenient access, it is more magnificent!

Just when Chaojiazhuang was busy preparing for the big war, the New Year came. A shocking piece of news swept through the entire Song Dynasty like a storm.

On this festive day, Hedong Tianhu showed the jade seal of the country, announcing to the outside world that he was the destiny of heaven, ascended the throne and called the emperor, and the country name was Jin.

Chao Gai was the first to get the news, and he was stunned, my mother! He not only knew that the jade seal of the country was obtained by this bird feather, but also promoted it single-handedly. The Western army pursued and plundered robbers in order to spread the word.

He originally thought that after the grass-headed king got the jade seal, he would prepare to jump out again in two years. I didn't expect this guy to ascend the throne and become emperor so soon.

That's right, it's to board the plane and be the emperor!

It is even more advanced than in the original trajectory, called the Jin Emperor.

Chao Gai was stunned for a long time before he burst out laughing, and tears flew out. The son in his arms almost fell to the ground, so that the boy would not be angry.

Tian Hu was called the emperor, which confirmed the rumors of the jade seal very early.

There is one more imperial court in the east of the river, which is far away from the imperial court in Bianliang City.

This makes the already treacherous situation even more confusing!

The one in Bianliang City is said to have turned the color of pig liver, and he was furious. Not only scolded the front-line army as a waste, but also ordered the extermination of traitorous traitors. At the same time, he gritted his teeth and ordered the transfer of elite reinforcements from the Western Army.

Even the most elite Western Army was dispatched! It can be seen that this merry emperor is angry.

Tian Hu's proclamation as emperor not only provoked the authority of the Northern Song Dynasty, but also set a precedent. Huaixi Wang Qing and Jiangnan Lala have rights and ambitions, how can they lag behind others? According to the intelligence, the two bigwigs have the heart to be kings.

is the only strongman in Qingfeng Mountain who is stuck in Qingzhou, the leader is not good, and he doesn't make a sound. More and more leaders were dissatisfied with Song Jiang and thought that there was no future. It's better to go to the other three green forest bosses as soon as possible to find a good way.

Hei Saburo Song Jiang tried his best to appease and racked his brains to find a way. Summoned many leaders to discuss, saying that the imperial court was the right way to accept Zhao'an.

As the saying goes, if you want to be an official, you will be recruited to kill people and set fires.

This sentence made many people excited, and Song Jiang still embarked on an old road!
