In late autumn, the streets are sprinkled with yellow leaves. As the sun sets, the spires of majestic buildings are projected on the sparsely populated streets, the tall plane trees sway silently in the autumn wind, and the deep twilight envelops this ancient and magnificent city.

A horse-drawn carriage with a sword and shield cross on the outer wall passed through the middle of the street and into the alley next to Zhōngyāng Street. Since the events of New Year's Day this year, the forces that believe in this pattern have become the de facto rulers of dìdū.

Pedestrians on the side of the road watched the carriage with mixed emotions in their eyes. The acquaintances looked at each other and whispered softly in their lips: "How long is it?"

After passing through the hidden jǐng cordon, the carriage stopped in front of the small door at the end of the alley, the door opened, and Gopra, who was wearing a black sè prosecutor's uniform but wearing a gold star logo, jumped out of the car. The two men in civilian clothes who were guarding the door went up and saluted him: "My lord, you are here." ”

"Can the Inspector be at home?" asked Gopra politely.

"At home. Please let me know. The man said respectfully, and he entered the small door and quickly came out again: "My lord, please." ”

"Your Excellency. ”

Although he is the commander and the head of the Supervision Office, it is surprising that Gopra is so polite to a small person who looks at the door. If you ponder this simple conversation, one will be struck by the fact that the actual controller of today's dìdū, Di Lin, lives in seclusion in this remote and secluded alley.

Although the courtyard is inconspicuous outside, the courtyard is unique, with rockeries, quiet ponds, lush green trees, and jīng pavilions looming in the trees. Gopra knew that this was originally a royal village of the Zichuan family, and after the successful coup d'état of Dilin, in order to avoid revenge from the enemy, he secretly placed his wife and children here, and this matter was very hidden, even within the Supervision Office, only a few henchmen knew about it.

At the entrance of the corridor, a little boy of four or five years old suddenly rushed out, jumped up and ran towards Gopra, brandishing a toy sword in his hand, and shouting with his teeth and claws: "Drive, drive, drive! I am the black cavalry, you are the big demon, fight!" Behind the little boy, a beautiful young woman was chased from a distance, and a soft cry came: "Didi, don't run around...... Don't be rude to your uncle...... Come back soon......

With a kind smile, Gopra leaned down and picked up the little boy and lifted him up in the air. Despite the child's desperate struggles, Gopra's hand was like a cast of iron, and he smiled and said, "Master Didi, you are not good again. ”

"Let go, let go of me......," the little boy struggled hard, his big dark eyes purring, his little mouth raised high, and he shouted, "Uncle Gopra is the worst!"

"Really!" At this time, the beautiful young woman had already rushed over, and said angrily, "Didi, come down quickly, don't be rude to your uncle." ”

Gopra put the little boy down and bowed respectfully to the woman: "Hello, ma'am, you are in good health. The kid got zìyóu, ran into the garden and disappeared.

Lin Xiujia said with a smile: "Gopra, you haven't been here for a long time these days. It's been too hard for a while, and my face is so bad. Let's stay here tonight and drink soup to make up for it...... Didi always says that you are bad, and I am afraid when I see you coming, it seems that only you can cure him! Di Lin and I are too used to him, this guy has been shopping all day long, so I can't feel at ease for a while. ”

"Young Master Didi is bright and intelligent, and Jīng is full of strength......"

"Come on, what kind of smart is this little bastard?He's the best at trick-or-treating, and he's the best at peeing his pants!" A familiar voice sounded behind Gopra, who turned around, only to see Dilin yawning out of the hallway, the collar buttons of his civilian uniform were open, revealing the snow-white underneath of his shirt, apparently just waking up.

Gopra bowed and saluted, and Di Lin waved his hand casually: "Gopra, you came over just in time." I'm looking for you. ”

"Yes. The lower officials also have some important matters to report to you. ”

Lin Xiujia smiled: "You two talk." I'm going to find Didi, this little naughty little one, and I don't know where to run after a while. Dilin, wait a minute, you remember to leave Gopla for dinner!"

The two men smiled and watched Lin Xiujia walk in front of them, calling Didi's nickname in the garden: "Didi, Didi." ”

In Zi Chuanning's proclamation, Di Lin and his chief subordinate Gopra are synonymous with cruelty and blood, and they are a total collection of evil in the world. But at this moment, when they look at their wives and children, there is nothing but concern and love in their eyes.

Looking at Lin Xiujia, the smiles on the faces of the two faded, replaced by a solemn solemnity. Di Lin said simply: "Come into my study and say." ”

After entering the study and sitting down, Gopra quickly got into the subject: "My lord, Imazashi has sent back a report from the front, please read it." ”

Dilin opened the report of Imashi. He reads slowly and carefully. The styles of several cadres in the Supervision Department are different, if it is a report by Gopra, because he was the captain of Di Lin's guard, he is very honest with Di Lin, and everything is straight to the point; Shabro is a reckless man, and if he has anything to say, the report is straightforward and straightforward, and it is clear at a glance; Lu Zhen's report is full of nonsense, and the worse the task is completed, the longer his report will be, and dozens of reasons can be found throughout the whole article to explain why the task was not completed, so Di Lin does not need to spend any effort to ponder their report.

Only the West is different, this subordinate is a very thoughtful person, every word of the report has its meaning, and Di Lin never dares to take his report lightly. Just like today's report, on the surface, Imashi reported to the Dìdū base camp on the recent battle situation and the progress of the enemy's situation, the headquarters of the Far Eastern Army had been stationed in the capital of Keg Province, and the governors of various places had taken refuge in various places, and the Bartley Provincial Army, which had been at war with Imashi many times, had officially announced at this time, they were the vanguard of the rebel army led by Shirakawa.

"At present, the only troops engaged in the war with our army are Shirakawa's division. However, his troops were brave and fierce, and they were very good at fighting, and our army was unable to repel them for a long time, and it has become a stalemate. However, the surrounding situation is extremely unfavorable to our army, Battley, Wag, Keg, Ankara and other provinces have rebelled one after another, the main force of the Far Eastern rebels has been stationed in the capital of Keg, and the governors and towns in various places are confused by the Far Eastern Governor's text, blindly hate our army, and unknown soldiers and horses are everywhere, attacking our army's grain teams and messengers. Our troops were attacked everywhere, and the military justice office in Oscar province was slaughtered, and all 300 people were killed in one night. The subordinate suspected that the incident was the work of the governor of Os, but the situation was delicate, and Kovich had already taken precautions, and he stayed at the provincial military camp at night and refused to come out, so our department could not ask him for the crime.

"Because the far east is so widespread that it has been strictly forbidden, most of the officers and men in the army, except for a few strong-willed people, are still confused by it. In the last few battles, the troops on the verge of battle were crushed on the spot, and some even defected to the enemy on the spot. This kind of situation is really rare since the commander unified the army, and it is shocking and unspeakable......"

"It's shocking!" Di Lin closed the report and said in a deep voice.

Gopra poured tea for his boss and said, "Because it's urgent, the staff will open it first." At present, only Shirakawa is facing Imasai, but the main force of the Far Eastern Army will appear at any time, and the meaning of Imasai is that it is hoped that it will withdraw its troops. But he is the commander, and he is not good at taking the initiative to say that he will withdraw the troops. ”

"What do you think of the staff?"

"At present, we do not have many reliable troops at hand, and the troops in the hands of Jinxi are very valuable. If we let the present west be wiped out by the Far Easterners at Bartley, our losses will be great. ”

"Hmm. Dilin rolled the report into a ball and tapped it lightly on his hand, and Imasai thought he agreed. But he said, "I can't retreat from the west." ”

"My lord, then he will be eaten by the Far Eastern Army......"

"The Ombudsman Office has been dispatched to reinforce the present. It was there that there was a decisive battle with the Far Eastern Army. ”

Di Lin's voice was not loud, but in Gopra's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue. He let out an exclamation of "ahh

"Decisive battle with the Far Eastern Army, my lord, we have no chance of winning ...... this way."

"Trapped in dìdū, we really have no chance of winning. ”

"My lord, dìdū is a strong city in the world. Back then, you were able to defend the city against the attack of 600,000 demons, and now we can also rely on this to resist the Far Easterners!"

"If there is no soldier to be saved, there is no city to defend inside. In those days, we defended dìdū, with the in-depth support of the Northwest, Southwest, the Lin family, and even the Liufeng family, and the support of Zichuanxiu in the Far East and Sterling in Os, so we could talk about holding on. ”

Di Lin smiled: "It's also the Demon God Emperor, but Zichuan Xiu is not Carter." He couldn't have made the same mistake of using troops to fill the walls of Dìdū. ”

"This ...... But there are also the Lin family and the Liufeng family. As long as we can hold out long enough in Dìdū City, they may be able to get involved, and the situation may change......"

"It is possible that the Lin family and the Liufeng family will be involved, but their first target of attack will definitely be us. Di Lin sneered: "Sober up, we are now the public enemy of the world, and all the soldiers and horses may have infighting, but that is after we are finished." ”

Di Lin stood up and put a little more emphasis on the position of dìdū on the desk map: "Dìdū, where the key point of the world is! The Far Eastern Army wants to march west, the Heqiu Army wants to go east, and the Northwest Frontier Army and the Liufeng Army want to go south.

"We are attacked on three sides, but among the soldiers and horses on all sides, only the Far Eastern Army is our undying enemy of life and death, they are the authentic royal army of Zichuan Ning, and they must crusade against us. There is no compromise between us and the Far East, either you die or I die, so a battle to the death between us and the Far East will be inevitable.

"And the Heqiu Army and the Flowing Wind Army sent troops, which was called rebellion, but they were actually robbing while the fire was burning. We leave the city empty, no matter whether it is the wind and frost that wins the city, whether it is Lin Rui or Minghui, as long as we throw the city to them, no matter who wins the city, they will never allow the other two to enter the city. The three forces are holding each other back, and they have no strength left to follow and pursue us.

"In the dìdū garrison, we have to face the four enemies of the Far East, Minghui, Heqiu, and Blue City, and if we take the initiative to attack and transfer the decisive battle battlefield to Bartley, then we will be able to fight the Far Eastern Army without disturbance, as long as we defeat the Far Eastern Army, then the last strength of the imperial power faction of the Zichuan family will be gone, and we can still calmly deal with the Lin family and the Liufeng family. Even with the worst of luck, we were able to keep the southeast. ”

Di Lin's words were conclusive, and the look on Gopla's face slowly changed from surprise to admiration. After bowing his head and thinking about it, he said with admiration: "My lord is far-sighted and thoughtful, far beyond the ability of his subordinates. The subordinate officers and the general staff were short-sighted, did not know the general trend of the world, and almost missed a major event. ”

"This is just talking on paper, the general trend of the world, how can it be so easy to say dead?"

Di Lin smiled, shook his head slowly, and his tone turned heavy: "Since our incident, there have been constant wars and turmoil, and the world has suffered a lot because of us. If the war drags on any longer, whether it is won or lost, it is decided in a war, it is regarded as something good for us to do, and it can also allow the country to retain some vitality. ”

Gopra was surprised, and in his impression, this old chief had always been the kind of person who "after I die, the world will be flooded," but now why did he suddenly feel compassion for the heavens and people? He was stunned for a moment before he spoke up: "Your Excellency, what you said is very true. ”

Because Dilin was determined to fight Bartley, the staff had to hurry up and remake a plan, and Gopra hurriedly took his leave. Di Lin sent him to the yard, and happened to meet Lin Xiujia and Di Di, the mother was chasing her naughty son all over the yard, and the crisp voice like a silver bell echoed in the courtyard at dusk: "Didi, come out quickly, uncle is leaving, come out and say goodbye to uncle!" But the child laughed and ran around, so that the mother couldn't catch up.

Di Lin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "See it." This little beast, there is really nothing to do with him. "The Adversary, who was once known for his ruthless and iron-blooded blood, is no different from his usual father at this moment.

"Where. It's a good thing for children to be naughty, jīng has a lot of energy, and they will be able to do great things in the future!"

Gopra smiled and walked away, watching his back disappear in the twilight, a faint trace of guilt in Dilin's eyes, but when he looked at his wife and son in the garden, the guilt in his eyes was gone, replaced by a deep sea of cherishing and regret.

The low-ranking officers and soldiers only cared about victory and defeat, but Di Lin had to look further and look at the outcome of this battle. Stick to dìdū and fall into a brutal siege and siege war, the war is endless, and the national strength is greatly consumed. In this way, the eventual defeat of the Ombudsman was inevitable, and at the same time, the Far Eastern Army would be exhausted and dragged down. Once the Far East collapses, the last strength of the country is lost, foreign invasion and interference will be inevitable, and the Zichuan family will fall into the fate of being torn apart and divided.

As a member of the Zichuan family, Di Lin inevitably has feelings for this country, and although he is already a rebellious sinner, he does not want the family to fall and perish.

Moreover, he also harbored deeper fears and concerns: if he and the Far Eastern Army were defeated, in case the worst outcome appeared, and Zichuan Xiu also died at the same time as he perished, what would Lin Xiujia and Di Di do at that time? As the most rebellious descendants of our time, behind him, a monstrous sea of blood and deep hatred would come to his wife and children, at that time, except for Zichuan Xiu, who had a heavy army, who would have the ability to protect his wife and children?

Di Lin looked at his wife and children silently: "My child, my wife." This qiē is all for you!"

In the late autumn of 786, the hinterland of the southeast plain of the Zichuan family was covered with war clouds. Taking advantage of the late autumn wind, the huge army of the Far East crossed the passage of the Valen fortress and advanced into the southeast plain of the Zichuan family.

Strength + righteous name = invincibility, this is Zichuan Xiu's deepest experience on the way to the army. The Far Eastern army is like a bamboo, the half-orc army comes all the way, as long as the vanguard shows the banner of the rebel army, the local civil and military officials immediately open the city gate and go out of the city to welcome the Zichuan family's royal army, the people cheer to welcome the army into the city, and the people eat pot pulp to welcome the king's division, this kind of treatment is not enjoyed when Zichuan Xiu counterattacked the demon clan last time. Where the eagle flag went, all the people were taken from it, and dozens of towns in the three provinces were taken bloodlessly.

After entering the city, Zi Chuanning, as the head of the family, came forward to meet with the officials and gentry in the city, and personally announced and retold the truth of the Dìdū incident. The atmosphere at the venue was warm, and the soldiers and the people spoke in unison, denouncing Di Lin's tyranny and cruelty, cruelty to the people, and the crime of deserving death. And the Far East Qinwang Army will be able to make contributions in one fell swoop, sweep away the demonic atmosphere, sweep away the ugliness, and restore the bright blue sky.

The propaganda department of the Far East distributed the minutes of the meeting all over the world to prove to the world how the people of the southeast, under the call of His Highness Ning, united to resist the tyrannical rule of the tyrannical demon emperor Dilin. At the same time, the people and officials who were "liberated" by the Far Eastern Army were also very cooperative, and in order to clear up their relationship with the rebels, they came out one after another to expose the brutality and injustice of the Supervision Office, saying that the Inspectors were greedy and shameless and framed innocents, while the gendarmes were cruel and unmanned, severely tortured innocent people, tortured and beaten into tricks, and created all kinds of human injustices -- as the largest judicial group in China, the Supervision Office has definitely done no less things to beat and frame innocents, and this is not a wrongful affair against Dillin, but some things are really outrageous.

The patriarch of Wag Province claimed conclusively that he had reliable evidence that could prove that the Supervision Department had been secretly colluding with the Demon Clan, and he was very sure that the invasion of the Demon God Emperor back then was led by Di Lin.

"Di Lin is a traitor, he actually dares to collude with the demon god!" The patriarch was full of grief and indignation: "As a glorious member of the human race, I swear not to stand with this kind of scum!"

Du Yafeng, who was presiding over the meeting at the scene, coughed dryly and leaned into the ear of the patriarch to remind: "The patriotic enthusiasm of the patriarch really touched the lower officials. However, Xia Guan has to take the liberty to tell you that the current Emperor of the Protoss is our commander of the Far East, and there are also many Protoss soldiers in the rebel army. Of course, Xia Guan knows that you are not shadowing anything, I understand, I understand, I understand what you mean, I understand very well...... However, this really makes the lower official a little embarrassed......"

Before he finished speaking, the "glorious human race" was already unscrupulous, and he hurriedly changed his tone: "Of course, I mean, the Demon Race-oh, no, I'm talking about the Protoss-There are also good people in the Protoss, and there are also many good people in the Demon God Emperor, well, many, many good people, it's okay to collude." The Protoss and the human race are one family, so you don't have to worry so much......"

With this lesson from the past, everyone has been a lot more cautious in their speeches next. As an evil man, it is Di Lin's duty to communicate with foreign countries - but it is really difficult to find the object of this collaborator. Now that the demons have become the subordinates of the King of Light, naturally they cannot collude; can they collude with the Flowing Wind Family? But Marshal Flowing Wind and Frost has just published an article against Emperor Lin, and maybe he will become an ally of the King of Light...... It is said that Di Lin colluded with the Lin family and colluded with the Lin family to seek the southwestern territory of the Zichuan family -- but it seems that it was also Di Lin's supervision office that took back the southwest from the Lin family. Although everyone can talk nonsense with a clear conscience, what if the Lin family also becomes an ally of the Zichuan family? You know, before Di Lin usurped the throne, the relationship between the Lin family and the Zichuan family had always been good...... After some careful and cautious consideration, the tone of the speeches was quite unified: "Di Lin is colluding with the Japanese in the southwest coast! The Supervision Department has already made an agreement with the Japanese to join forces with the outside and annex our country!"

Politicians have always believed that the pen is a more powerful weapon than the sword, and under this tone, a series of magnificent masterpieces such as the inside story of the Supervision Office, the Far East Blood Documentary, the Ambition of Dilin, the Secret Story of the 777 Project, and the Yīn Shadow Behind the Sword and Shield have made a grand debut. Seeing the wind and rudder, the literati painting Sè portrays Dilin as a brutal, greedy, and shameless villain, a murderer with bloody hands, a strange uncle who makes a lewd "hey, hey, hey" yín smile at a little girl, and a voyeur in the women's bathroom. Large rallies and marches of 50,000 and 100,000 people were held in various places to denounce the criminal acts of the Supervision Office, setting off waves of anti-imperial waves.

In order to curry favor with Zichuanning, the governors of various places regarded the anti-imperial demonstrations as a political project, and the scale of the demonstrations gradually upgraded from 10,000 to 100,000 or 200,000. At present, Keg Province is planning to organize a large march of 500,000 people, and the province of Bit is not to be outdone, threatening to launch a demonstration of 800,000 people, and the province of Dama has released a loud voice, saying that although our province is a small province, the military and people of our province are as deep as the sea and cannot stand on the other, and in order to express their anger against Dilin, there will be a torch parade of one million people in our province.

This kind of parade was not stopped until the base camp of the Far Eastern King of Light arrived at the capital of Keg. Governor Keg reported to Zichuan Xiu that the province was organizing a large march of 1.2 million people, and that the province was gathering people from the surrounding cities to assemble in the provincial capital.

Governor Keg said tragically: "Please rest assured, the loyalty of the military and civilians of our province to the family is absolutely no worse than anyone else's, and we will never be compared with the two provinces of Dama and Bit! Even if the family is bankrupt, we must do it decently!"

After asking what happened, Shikawa Xiu immediately ordered it to stop. Governor Kaige was still a little unwilling: "My lord, but the soldiers and civilians of our province have a deep hatred for Dilin, and I really can't express it......"

"Enough is enough. Doing something that no one gets any benefit from and is very unseemly will only make the other person laugh at us for being stupid. Compared to Dilling, we have not stood on the moral high ground, so we have no position to accuse him. In the end, the war still depends on strength to decide the loser, and doing this ugly villain will only make people laugh. ”

What Zichuan Xiu said was not very well understood by the officials of Keg Province, but they only had to understand one thing: the Far Eastern commanders did not like the Great Parade. When the news spread, the huge parade was immediately canceled, and the millions of righteous people who had yesterday aggressively threatened to repay their blood debts from the Supervision Office disappeared without a trace.
