July 25, 786, Far East, Fumingke Province, Walen Fortress Exit.

Majestic peaks, endless greenery, and from the plains, the Valen Fortress, perched on top of the mountain, seems to float in the clouds. On the verdant plains at the foot of the Guqi Mountains, large areas of woods are dotted on the vast grasslands, the sky is high and the sea is vast, and the weather is vast.

On this day, Zi Chuan Xiu and Zi Chuan Ning went out on an outing again. In addition to Zi Chuanxiu, Zi Chuanning, and Li Qing, there were also important generals such as Lin Bing, Bai Chuan, and Ming Yu of the Far Eastern Army.

"Your Highness, this is the famous Southwest Battalion! Back then, the famous demon general Ling Buxu once stationed troops here, blocking my country's troops with the strength of an army. Although Ling Buxu was captured and killed by my family's army in the later Battle of Bataan, I can't help but admit that this person is indeed a famous general of the time!"

Pointing at the remaining camp on the horizon with a horsewhip, Zichuan Xiu looked back and said with a smile, "The area around Valen City has been a battlefield since ancient times. On the other side of the mountain, Sterling once defeated the Far Eastern Coalition Army, known as a million-strong army, with 50,000 iron cavalry. This battle was really vividly fought, the battlefield began from Valen, stretched over seven provinces, and the coalition forces tried to counterattack several times, but were defeated by Stirling, who was inferior to the forces, and did not survive until fleeing into Yun Province. In this battle, the Far Easterners still have lingering palpitations and respect Stirling like a ghost. ”

Although they were preoccupied, seeing such a vast Far East scene, Zi Chuanning and Li Qing's hearts were suddenly broadened, and the gods were shocked. At this moment, when they heard Zichuan Xiu mention Sterling, everyone was shocked.

Lin Bing reacted the fastest, and immediately said: "The general is heroic, and he is indeed an invincible general in the world. It's a pity that Yingcai was killed by Jiān evil and unfortunately died young. Now that the country has been overthrown, the demons are dancing wildly, and the warlords such as Dilin, Gopla, and Jinxi control the family power and act perversely, and the family has to rely on you to set things right. ”

"Lord Lin is reasonable," Li Qing also reacted at this time, and then said: "The ancestor was loyal to the family and the Zichuan clan all his life. If the family can't recover, it will be very sad to think that he will be under the Nine Springs. Now only you can help him fulfill this wish!"

Zi Chuanxiu looked at the two ladies, and after a long while, he said, "If Stirling is alive and watching me and Di Lin attack each other, then he will really be sad. ”

Li Qingzheng said: "My lord, brotherhood is just a personal relationship, but national enmity is justice. The first husband was jealous and hateful, if he was willing to join the same stream with Di Lin, he would not have died in Wangduling. It's rude, but it's about the will of the late husband, don't misunderstand. ”

Shikawa Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head. Perhaps, apart from Cardin, he is the person who knows Sterling best, even more than his wife. Stirling's short life as a meteor was too brilliant to leave the world with an almost stereotypical impression of perfection, integrity, bravery, honesty, strength, loyalty, talent, selflessness, dedication, self-sacrifice - he possessed almost all the human virtues, and was a perfect model.

But only he and Dilling know what kind of person the real Sterling is. He is not so brave, but he has a good face and loves to pretend to be a hero, when he was a child and fought with hooligans, he often trembled with fear, but he still rushed to the front; he would also play a little clever and lazy to take advantage, and often excused himself when he ate and paid for his wallet; he was dignified, but he was also tempted by a beautiful woman like Cardin, obsessed with his children's private affairs, and planned to give up his military position to live with her; he also had a weak retreat, when he was in the Demon Kingdom, he told himself that he was tired of this life and planned to resign and quit. If the chief does not approve it, he is ready to sneak away as a deserter...... The real Sterling is far more complex and vivid than the shining role model one sees. A man of flesh and blood, a responsible husband and a cowardly lover to feelings, a general who is tired of his work.

is such a person, at the moment in Wangduling, he made a choice. Then, he became an immortal god, the embodiment of loyalty and heroism, and was worshipped by millions.

"Raheem Sterling is a hero, but not a saint. ”

Silently recalling Sterling's voice and smile, Zichuan Xiu's heart was surging. He firmly believes that if Sterling is still alive, then what he wants to see is not that he fights Dilling to the death with his sword soldiers to avenge him, but that he wants to see his two brothers live well and happily. Or, what he would rather see, is Cardin's pretty face.

Next, the team traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, and found a small stream at the foot of Guqi Mountain in the evening. Right by the stream, the people camped and lodging, and lit a bonfire. The soldiers of the guards caught fresh pheasants and hares, and everyone peeled the pheasants and barbecued them by the stream with great interest. Several beautiful ladies ate the oily roast chicken thighs with relish and praised them.

At night, everyone lived in a tent, accompanied by the sound of pine wind, night birds, and a refreshing mountain breeze. Falling asleep in such a fresh environment, Shikawa Xiu only felt at peace and felt indescribably familiar. Camping reminded him of his previous career as a horseman, especially when he led the Great Uprising in the Far East and moved to the provinces, often sleeping in the barren mountains and mountains with a marching blanket. Strangely, at that time, there was never such a thing as insomnia or poor appetite, and a hungry stomach could digest all the coarse field military rations, and no matter how simple the marching blanket was, you could sleep soundly until dawn. On the contrary, now he has become a prince of Zhenbo who lives in eight seats, sleeps on silk mattresses, eats jīng food, but often can't sleep.

"People are really rich!"

Lying on the marching carpet, Zi Chuanxiu let out a heartfelt sigh.

In the middle of the night, Zi Chuanxiu was sleeping soundly, when he suddenly heard the sound of rapidly approaching horses' hooves, and he immediately turned over and sat up.

Outside the tent, there was the shout of the guard on duty: "Who?

"Minsk! We are the messengers of Valen, and there is urgent news from the Far Eastern Intelligence Service!"

"Stand there, wait for us to report to your lordship!"

Without waiting for Jǐng Wei to come over, Zichuan Xiu had already jumped up from the blanket, lifted the tent and walked out. In the middle of the night, several cavalrymen were blocked by the jǐng guards on the periphery of the camp, and seeing that Zichuan Xiuxing was near, the cavalry and the jǐng guards bowed to Zichuan Xiuxing together: "My lord!"

Zi Chuanxiu nodded in return: "Have urgent information?"

One of the leading horsemen bowed and replied, "Yes, my lord." The news that was received only this afternoon is said to be significant. Deputy Director Du ordered, and we were ordered to come out to find the adults. Since we didn't know where the adults were, we sent seven people into the mountains to look for them. Fortunately, our team finally met the adults, and we didn't delay anything. The cavalryman's breath was very rapid as he spoke, and his body exuded a strong and pungent smell of sweat, and he looked tired, apparently having been in a hurry without rest.

Zichuan Xiu felt slightly guilty. I suddenly wanted to go into the mountains to play, and all my subordinates said that they wanted to come with him, and Zichuan Xiu couldn't refuse them. As a result, the high-ranking generals in Valen City disappeared en masse, and there was no one in the city to preside over the overall situation.

"Thank you for your hard work. Bring me the letter. ”

After handing over the letter, the jǐng guards arranged for the messenger to rest. With the burning fire, Shikawa Shu opened the letterhead. This is an urgent report from the intelligence officer of the Far Eastern Intelligence Bureau in the southwest, although it is only a few words, but the content of the report is very important. The Southwest War has ended, a peace agreement has been signed between Di Lin and the Lin family, and Di Lin's soldiers and horses are returning from the territory of the Lin family one after another.

"At present, it is unlikely that the two countries will resume fighting, and it seems likely that peace will be maintained for a while. ”

Reading this, Zichuan Xiu smiled. His vision is much better than that intelligence officer, he has fought for nearly half a year, experienced several major defeats, and the Lin family's war hopes have been consumed, according to the Lin family's turtle xìng grid, he has suffered such a big setback, at least he has to recuperate behind closed doors for thirty or fifty years before he dares to reappear in the rivers and lakes.

The Lin family suffered this defeat, I wonder if their parent Lin Rui will take responsibility and resign and retire?

Zichuan Xiu thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head. He has dealt with Lin Rui a lot, and everyone can be regarded as acquaintances, but he always feels that he can't see through this person. No matter when, Lin Rui is always at ease, and he always hides a deck of hole cards that he has not turned over. Such a person may be defeated, but he will never be left alone.

The Southwest War is over! Thinking of this fact, Zi Chuanxiu's heart tightened for a while. In fact, if the Southwest War was the defeat of the Imperial Army, he would be happier. In that way, he can wave his army without any scruples, and go straight to the southwest to avenge Di Lin.

In any case, after half a year, it's time to make a break!

Early the next morning, the group hurriedly ended their trip and returned to the Valen fortress from the road. Originally, the plan was to travel for three days, but they returned in a hurry the next day, and Zi Chuanning and Li Qing both felt strange. The generals who accompanied him were all informed by Zichuan Xiu, and everyone was calm and dignified, and the atmosphere was very different from the relaxation when they came out.

Li Qing asked Lin Bing privately, and Li Qing simply told her: "Di Lin and the Lin family have signed an armistice agreement. ”

"What does that matter to us?" Before Li Qing finished speaking, he knew that he had made a big mistake: the Southwest War was over, and while the Dilin Army was tired from fighting for a long time, this was the most suitable time to start the war.

Li Qing's eyes lit up, and he breathed quickly: "This is a critical time, Lord Lin, please!"

Lin Bing said solemnly: "Your Excellency Qing, I will go all out!"

On the day he returned to the Valen Fortress, Shikawa Shu informed the members of the Far East Command to prepare for a regular meeting in the evening, and the topic was to study the recent war in the southwest, which was over and there was nothing to study. The generals all knew that the real issue was how to deal with Diling's Inspectorate.

As a subordinate, figuring out the meaning of the upper hand is a very important knowledge, and it is even more important to be consistent with the superior at all times. If the adults have decided to crusade against Dilin, but they themselves have a strong emphasis on the value of peace - then it will be over. Although the meeting only started in the evening, the high-level executives who were qualified to attend the meeting were jumping up and down, visiting each other to inquire about the news: "What do you mean by adult?"

The generals have all become psychological experts, and everyone recalls Zichuan Xiu's words and deeds, racking their brains to analyze his mentality, and exchanging experiences with each other. For example, Ming Yu Hongyi Qi confidently asserted: "Today, Lord Xiuchuan ate a bowl more than usual at noon, which proves that the Lord does not plan to send troops!"

"How so?"

"Alas, can't you even think of this? The adult and Di Lin are lifelong friendships, and the adult is a xìng son who values love and righteousness. When he heard the news of Sterling's death, his hair turned gray with grief, and now if he wants to go to war with Dilling, how can he have such an appetite?"

Because Bai Chuan is the most favored by Zichuan Xiuxin, there are the most people who come to her to inquire about the news, and everyone begs her: "For the sake of many years of comrades-in-arms, let's reveal some news!"

Bai Chuan only responded with a wry smile: "For the sake of many years of comrade-in-arms, I might as well reveal some news!" -- In the past few months, Zi Chuan Xiu has only paid attention to the construction of the Far East and the affairs of the Demon Kingdom, and has not mentioned any inland affairs, and even Bai Chuan has not been able to get a glimpse of his thoughts.

Among the members of the command, Lin Bing was the only one who did not inquire about the news. Lin Bing is a staunch Zichuan imperial faction, and she herself never hides this. She also went everywhere, but she was trying to get the support of the generals and lobbying everyone to support sending troops.

The regular meeting begins at 8 p.m. After dinner, everyone came to the conference room early to wait. Because of the importance of the matter, everyone didn't have the heart to chat, just exchanging glances with each other to say hello. The orc general Bran snorted and smoked a dry chimney, tiny fires looming in the darkness.

At eight o'clock, Shikawa Xiu appeared on time and sat down at the head of the conference table.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started. I asked you to come today to make a message. Deputy Director Du, come on. ”

It was the first time that Du Yafeng had attended a meeting of the High Command -- in fact, in his capacity, he was not qualified to sit at the table even now. However, Zichuan Xiu didn't bother to introduce the situation again, so he simply called him over.

He got up at the end of the conference table and respectfully saluted the big heads present: "On the orders of Lord Xiuchuan, the subordinate is honored to report to you on the military situation in the southwest. ”

The generals looked at him expressionlessly, and no one smiled, even Shirakawa and Mingyu, who usually had a good relationship with him.

Du Yafeng swallowed his saliva, and pinched the sweat-soaked intelligence speech with both hands: "Ladies and gentlemen, we got the news yesterday that the Lin family and the chief inspector general signed an armistice agreement, and the Southwest War has ended. The Southwest War lasted half a year, and the war spread all over the thirteen provinces in the southwest of our country and the three provinces of the Lin family, including Heqiu, these areas are the rich areas that the mainland is known for, it can be said that whoever controls the southwest will control the mainland's money bag, and the significance of this war in the southwest region is ......

No one spoke, but the generals were obviously impatient, and urged with their eyes: "Quickly get to the point!"

"The Intelligence Bureau made a statistic on the war in the southwest, and the lower official briefly introduced it to everyone: In this war, the Lin family used 410,000 troops, of which 340,000 were field troops and 70,000 local garrison troops. During the war, the Lin family lost an estimated 130,000 troops - including those killed and wounded. Three medium-sized cities, four small cities, and thirty-five towns were destroyed. It is not yet possible to count the civilian casualties, but some estimates put it at least 600,000. Property damage exceeded 300 billion. On the other side of the war is our Inspectorate Corps. In this war, the Supervision Department sent 240,000 troops, of which 40,000 were military police units, 140,000 were field troops of the original expeditionary force, 35,000 garrisons were drawn from various provinces, and 15,000 were private troops of the southwestern aristocracy. The Lin family claimed that they had wiped out at least 150,000 Chinese officers and soldiers - that was impossible. If such a result could really be achieved, the Lin family would have already entered the dìdū. In this battle, the casualties of the Dilin army should be between 40,000 and 60,000, of which the gendarmerie unit followed the chief inspector deep into the hinterland of the Lin family, experienced several major battles, and suffered nearly 10,000 casualties. The civilian losses were also very large, and the capital of Warin and the surrounding six towns were destroyed by the Lin family in retaliation, nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians were killed, and the civilian losses should be more than 30 billion. Due to the heavy losses on both sides, on July 2 of this month, the Inspector General had signed an armistice agreement with the Lin family. ”

That was the end of Duafeng's report, and he didn't comment on it. The people here are all veterans, and from the above numbers, they can conclude for themselves: "Dilin won." ”

"Thank you for your hard work, Deputy Director Du. You can go down and rest. ”

The deputy chief of the intelligence bureau was sent out, and Shirokawa Xiu faced Shirakawa: "Shirakawa, you are the one who has personally been to the river hills. What do you think of the combat power of the Lin family's army?"

"I'm sorry, my lord, this time I went to discuss business issues with the Lin family, and I didn't prepare for the Lin family's military strength in advance, nor did I have the opportunity to visit the Lin family's military base. ”

"Isn't there any impression at all?"

"I think, the Lin family's border guard," Shirakawa said slowly, "the uniform is beautiful and polite." ”

Everyone: "......"

"I've seen the Heqiu army fighting, and in the battle to exterminate the Ma family, I fought side by side with the Lin family's army. As far as I can see, the Lin family is well equipped and trained, and the discipline is good—but there is one thing missing, and they are not a first-class jīng army. ”

"What's missing, sir, you mean?"

"Bloody and bloody. Fighting a war is about killing people, and fighting a war is about flesh and blood! And the Lin family's army was accustomed to firing arrows from a distance, and their battle manual clearly stated that the Lin family's army avoided hand-to-hand combat as much as possible -- this was like dancing ballroom dancing with white gloves. They lack experience in dealing with brutal warfare. ”

"So, what about the Inspectorate's troops? Are they a first-class army?"

The answer is no doubt. No matter in terms of combat achievements or strength, the two major corps of the Iron and Blood Military Police and the Expeditionary Force under the command of the Supervision Department are the main forces of the Zichuan family, and they have experienced too many wars to count, and the soldiers are well-trained and experienced, and there are as many as 200,000 soldiers who are good at fighting, and they also have special forces such as the 101st Division, and they have the righteous name of the zhōngyāng regime -- listening to Zichuan Xiu's folded hands, everyone realized that the original rebel army was outrageously strong.

"It is not advisable to be an enemy of the Inspectorate. Ming Yu was the first to clarify his point: "My lord, I am trusted by you to be in charge of logistics and financial affairs, what I want to say is that if there is a war with the Supervision Department, once a full-scale war starts, the army to be mobilized will definitely exceed 200,000, and the war will last at least half a year, and the amount of money consumed will be sky-high." Inspector General Di Lin is a contemporary famous general, and there are also strong soldiers and horses under the command of the Supervision Department. They didn't show any hostility towards us, and Di Lin even had an excellent friendship with Hidekawa-sama. While we are not afraid, it is not in our interest to start a great war for no reason and cost our precious soldiers. The shallow wisdom of the following officials really does not see the reason for us to send troops to quell the rebellion. ”

"Ming Yu!" Lin Bing's face was as cold as frost: "Can you please explain, what is it meant to start a big war for no reason? Emperor Lin killed the king and killed his brother, and did such a thing that was indignant to heaven and man, and the whole world was angry! Since we have the ability, why don't we punish him?"

Ming Yu spread out his hands and said that he didn't want to argue: "Chief Lin, I am in charge of logistics and finance, and I am just expressing my opinion on the scope of responsibility. How to decide, that's an adult's business. ”

Zichuan Xiu looked at Cardin, and the Minister of the Interior of the Demon Kingdom nodded politely: "Your Majesty, from the perspective of interests, we really don't need to go to war with Di Lin. The Far East and the Protoss have merged, and in terms of expansion and control, the country has swelled to a limit, and our top priority is to build internal affairs, integrate internal resources, and establish a new order of rule. But ......"

Cardin's voice slowly lowered: "In this world, not everything is based on interests, there is also love and hatred, Your Majesty!"

Zi Chuanxiu looked at her in confusion, but the princess of the Demon Kingdom quickly looked away.

"Shirakawa, what do you think?"

"I think His Highness Cardin is right. There are some things that can't just talk about profits. After all, there are axioms and people's hearts in the world. The Zichuan family is not good to Di Lin, Di Lin can escape to our Far East, and I believe that the adults will definitely protect him. But he actually rebelled, killed Zichuan Shenxing, and killed his sworn brother. There should be a bottom line for human behavior. And Di Lin killed his lord with his ministers and mutilated his siblings, he has already exceeded this bottom line! If no one punishes such evil deeds, what justice and morality are there in the world! Although the Far Eastern Army is half gone, we are still the retainers of the Zichuan family, and whether it is King Qin saving the country or avenging Stirling, we have a reason to send troops. My lord, there is righteousness between heaven and earth, and we in the Far East must be a sword to protect justice! Even if it is not for the Zichuan family, we should fight for Lord Stirling and for the justice of the world!"

Shirakawa's words were loud, and Zichuan Xiu was shocked. "Fight for the justice of the world!" when I have heard such inspiring words myself. On that snowy night in the hills, that beautiful woman told herself the legendary story of the heroes of three hundred years ago, and her own blood was not boiling?

Looking back now, what a familiar scene, the overturned empire, the exiled princess, the righteous general, history is really a wheel, and there are always similar things turning around.

thought of Lin Feng, thought of Lin Yunfei, and then, Zi Chuanxiu thought of Lin Yu-oh, it should be said that it was flowing wind and frost. Although the illustrious contemporary female celebrity has a prominent reputation, in Zichuan Xiu's heart, it is still the delicate and touching weak girl Lin Yu in the snowy night of the river hill that touches his heartstrings even more.

More and more Far Eastern ministers joined the debate, and the orc general Bran also made his attitude clear.

"Hit!" he said loudly. Compared to the tirades of others, Bran's simplicity and clarity are refreshing. Shikawa Xiu was surprised, he thought that the orcs should be the least interested in starting a war. They don't have any loyalty to the Zichuan family.

"Your Highness, what Di Lin did in the Far East back then was even more ruthless than the demons. At least half of the reason why the Great Uprising in the Far East broke out was for him, and now that he is an enemy of the King of Light, let alone that. Your Highness, many Zoe officers have come to tell me that if Your Highness wants to fight Dilin, they will resolutely support it! Your Highness, we are waiting for your order!"

Zi Chuan stared at the burly orc general silently, and an indescribable taste was in his heart. The power of hatred is so terrible that it has not been able to be erased for seven years. Who said that the Far Easterners were honest and easy to deceive? The orcs were just not good at words, but their hearts were clear, and they knew very well who their enemies were and who were their friends.

Love those who love themselves, hate those who hurt themselves, and you can't forget them even for 10,000 years. This is the philosophy of the Far Easterners.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.

Zi Chuanxiu was slightly angry, and said in a deep voice: "Come in!"

It was Dua Feng who had just gone out that came in. He cautiously smiled and said, "Lord Commander, my lords, I am very sorry for disturbing the meeting, I am really sorry, it is really important......

"Deputy Director Du, please hurry up. ”

"The Intelligence Bureau has just received word that something has happened in Bartley Province. Governor Waxin and Governor Wu Hua have joined forces to rebel!"

Zi Chuanxiu was so shocked that he bounced up from his chair: "What?"

On July 23, 786, news spread throughout the country like lightning: Governor Wa Xin Hongyi Qiben and Governor Wu Hua Hongyi Qiben staged a mutiny and led troops to capture the Inspectorate and the Judge Advocate General's Office in Batley Province. Immediately, Wa Xin and Wu Hua jointly issued a public statement, saying that they responded to the call of His Royal Highness Ning and raised troops to save the country. They called on the entire people to follow them and overthrow the rule of the tyrannical warlord Dilin.

"My lord, this is a leaflet from the province of Bartley. We also received a copy here. ”

Zi Chuanxiu took it and raised his eyebrows.

"Dilin plotted rebellion, and the two loyal lords of Bartley were worried about the country and the people, and they were anxious - their hearts burned from January to July of this year, and they were really burning. Shirakawa, can you help me ask these two heroes what kind of material their hearts are made of? I'll put one on the fireplace, it's too firewood to save wood in winter!"

Cheerful laughter rang out from the conference room.

"Since there is a new situation, let's adjourn the meeting for the time being and see how things develop. ”

Bai Chuan asked, "My lord, how do we deal with this matter?"

"Didn't deal with it much. Wa Xin and Wu Hua, they didn't greet us before they started, and we didn't need to be sorry for them. ”

Shirakawa heard it, and Shirakawa Xiu was very unimpressed by this. "If we were to be asked what we thought about it," she asked, "how would we answer?"

Zi Chuanxiu walked to the window and opened the curtains, the shining stars in the dark night sky came to his face, and the mountain breeze of late autumn blew on his clothes.

"Let's just say we're keeping a close eye on the situation and don't comment. ”

Looking at the vast world and mountains outside the window, Zi Chuanxiu thought silently: "Ah Yu, if it is you, how will you decide?"

While the top brass of the Far Eastern Army was watching, the Bartley incident was also advancing rapidly. The province of Bartley was an important place in the southeast, and it was the only place through which Valen marched into Dìdū. The Office's response to Bartley's defection was unequivocal. The spokesman of the Public Prosecutor's Office, Imanishi, declared that Wa Xin and Wu Hua's actions were outright rebellious and that the family would not tolerate them. If the rebellion is not repented in time, the power of the family will beat them to dust.

The Office of the Ombudsman is not just a rhetorical threat. Before the large number of troops transferred back from the southwest had not yet wiped off the dust and blood stains on their bodies, they embarked on a new journey to the east, and the army of the whole division was moving eastward.

Of course, Wa Xin and Wu Hua also knew that the decision of a province alone would not be able to stop the Supervision Department. On August 2, 786, Wu Hua, the governor of the province of Bartley, arrived at the fortress of Valen, and Zichuan Xiu blamed the province of Bartley for not greeting the Far East in advance, which was really wrong for Waxin and Wu Hua. At the beginning of the army, Wu Hua rushed to the Far East, just because he had to pass through Dama, Kaige and other provinces on the way, and at present, the garrisons and officials of these two provinces have not indicated which side they support. Therefore, Wu Hua had to be cautious, day and night, and he walked the path as far as he could, and he walked the road that should have been completed in four days for nine days.

When he arrived in Valen, Wu Hua met Zi Chuanning for the first time. That scene was bloody like a romantic drama shot by a director who had just debuted. As soon as he entered the door and saw Zi Chuanning, Wu Hua immediately knelt on the ground, held his hands in his heart and made a gesture of great happiness, raised his head and shouted: "Your Highness Sanxing, you just went...... Now that I can see the Zichuan Imperial Power again, Weichen is satisfied with his death!" He hugged Zichuan Ning's leg and cried loudly, crying with tears and snot -- what kind of scene was it for an old man in his fifties to be coquettish with a girl in his twenties? The Far Eastern officers present were so disgusted that they fled to the toilet and vomited.

Fortunately, the future head of the Zichuan family is not an ordinary person, although his face is pale, Zichuan Ning can still speak decently: "Your Excellency Wu Hua, please mourn." Uncle has a spirit in heaven, and he will not bear it when he sees you so sad. ”

Wu Hua excitedly declared that after his struggle with the Governor of Waxin, the whole province of Bartley had been rescued from the hands of the rebels! Compared to it, the Battle of Bataan was nothing more than a patrol engagement, the Battle of Dìdū was a complete child's fight, and the Battle of Pai was not worth mentioning.

Although everyone knows what the so-called Bartley victory is all about, Zi Chuanning is not easy to expose Wu Hua in person. After all, Bartley was the first province to openly oppose Dilin, and this kind of bravery was still to be encouraged. She encouraged Wu Hua for a while and encouraged him to continue to work hard!

"Xiaguan Wu Hua, see Lord Xiuchuan!"

"Your Excellency Wu Hua, you don't have to be polite, please take a seat. ”

Wu Hua raised his head and looked at the person in front of him. The silver-haired young general sat comfortably on the wide sofa, and on the dark blue uniform of the senior officer, the commander's great Venus epaulettes were scorching and shining. What impressed Wu Hua the most about this young commander who met for the first time was not his silver-white hair, nor his handsome appearance, nor his lazy, smiling expression, but his eyes—deep eyes, which contained endless sorrow and tiredness, penetrating into the bone marrow and hopeless.

Seeing through the world, exploring the vicissitudes of life, and falling into prosperity, it is unimaginable that such a wise eye will appear in a twenty-year-old young man. Wu Hua vaguely understood that the other party had ascended to the position of the pinnacle of real power in his twenties, and it was not just luck and martial arts.

"Your Excellency and the Governor of Waxin are loyal to the imperial power of the family, initiated the uprising, and set a glorious example for the whole country, and they have done a very good job!" Zichuan Xiu said casually: "Your Excellency is visiting today, I don't know what advice you have?"

Wu Hua lowered his head: "My lord has won the prize." The Governor and I gathered hundreds of military sticks and thugs to smash the premises of the Inspectorate in the middle of the night, killing more than a dozen gendarmes and military judges. ”

Zi Chuanxiu smiled and said, "Oh? But this official heard that Your Excellency didn't say that in front of His Highness Ning." ”

"It made the adults laugh. Your Excellency, you have been in the army all the time, and you do not know the bad customs of our place. As magistrates, we are always used to adding such a little bit of water when reporting our results," Wu Huatian smiled and stretched out his little fingernails to signal: "In this way, His Royal Highness Ning is happy, and we will be promoted." However, my lord, you are in control of the military aircraft, and in front of you, it is not good for the subordinate to talk nonsense, so as not to delay military affairs. Moreover, my lord, you have been through a hundred battles, and your eyes are like lightning, what do you not know? The lower officials do not dare to make a false report in front of you. ”

Dare to tell a lie to Zi Chuanning, but don't you dare to lie to yourself? This sycophant is really good enough!

Zichuan Xiu said very strictly: "His Royal Highness Ning is definitely not a lord who can be bullied. This kind of thing...... Don't take it as an example!"

This is often synonymous with doing it all over again. The smile on Wu Hua's face became even sweeter: "My lord, if in another ten years, His Royal Highness Ning has accumulated rich experience, he will naturally be a generation of Ming Jun." But now, my lord, you have to give your Highness more refreshments. To tell you the truth, the governors and governors below have all said that the situation has been so bad that every eye can see it is rebellious! Fortunately, there are important ministers like you, my lord, sitting in the Far East, so that everyone has confidence. Everyone said that unless you come out to be the regent and president, Lord Xiuchuan, relying on your prestige of winning all battles, the family has the ability to turn the tide. For the sake of the people of the world, for the great cause of the family, you must not be tired, please do not shirk!"

Zichuan Xiu was even stricter: "The regent president leads ...... This position is not for the ministers. Your Excellency Wu Hua, this official would like to emphasize one point: the collegial system of the command office under the leadership of the chief is the ancestral system of the Zichuan family, which ensures the prosperity and longevity of the family and is the foundation of the Zichuan family for all generations. The official resolutely defended the ancestral system, and did not attempt to seek dúcái. ”

"Great Words!" Wu Hua suddenly shouted: "I have heard for a long time that Lord Xiuchuan is not only brave and invincible on the battlefield, but also a model of public loyalty to the country and selflessness.

"Where, where, Your Excellency has won the prize. ”

Zichuan Xiuyan said humbly, and he glanced to the side. It's good, none of the subordinates are there, and I can easily stilt Erlang's legs and revel in it - such a quality sycophant can't be heard at all times. Although Shirakawa and Bran are loyal to themselves, they can't hold back this kind of words.

"Your Excellency Wu Hua, what advice do you have when you come to this official?"

"My lord, the lower officials dare to speculate, the problem you are thinking about recently should be how to eradicate the traitors of the Supervision Department and restore peace to the family, right?"

Zi Chuanxiu was noncommittal: "What do you think?"

"Xia Guan is just a humble local official, and I shouldn't intervene in such a military matter related to the survival of the family. But Xia Guan is worried about the occasional gains from state affairs, and he doesn't dare to hide it, maybe it can also play a role in throwing bricks and attracting jade!"

"Say it. ”

"Di Lin thieves steal in the center, steal the name of the family to order the Quartet, and have strong soldiers in their hands, which is very difficult to deal with. Glancing at Zichuan Xiu, seeing that his face was faint, Wu Hua hurriedly added: "Of course, with your wisdom and martial arts, Lord Xiuchuan, the mightiness and courage of the Far Eastern soldiers, coupled with the righteous inspiration of His Royal Highness Ning, with the way to defeat the unreasonable, no matter how stubborn the rebels resist, it will be in vain, and they are destined to be crushed into powder......!

"What do you think?"

"Xia Guan thought that if the main rebel force could be drawn out of the city, it would be much easier for the Far Eastern Army to destroy them. For example, if the main force of the rebel army could be brought to a certain province in the southeast, the Far Eastern Army would have the advantage of home field and supply convenience in this decisive battle, and the rebel army would have to leave a considerable amount of troops to defend Dìdū because of its concern for General Minghui in the northwest. The enemy divides us and we specialize, and our Far Eastern Army has a great chance of winning!"

"I'm the Far Eastern Army?" Shikawa said with a wink.

"Hehe," Wu Hua laughed dryly: "Lord Xiuchuan is the important minister of the family, and the Far East is the holy land of our recovery, Xiaguan has always admired Lord Xiuchuan and all the heroes, and joined the Far East Army to serve the adults and horses, this is the long-cherished wish of Xiaguan, this little wish, I hope that the adults will fulfill it!"

"Your Excellency Wu Hua, you are the provincial governor of your family, the administrative official directly under the command office, and you have a bright future. I'm just a rude soldier, how can I be qualified to contain you? The Far East Temple is small, I'm afraid I can't accommodate you, a big Buddha!"

Wu Hua shouted: "The lower official is sincerely willing to serve the lord! What is the governor is not the governor, the lower official has never been relieved, if the lord does not believe it, the lower official will immediately go to resign to His Royal Highness Ning! If you can join the command of the lord, even if you are a groom and pawn who opens the way, the lower official is also willing to be a pawn of the way!"

Zi Chuanxiu just smiled and waved his hand, but he didn't make a sound. Wu Hua is also a character who is good at observing the face and observing the sè, and immediately knows that this matter has already been done. He immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "My lord, please accept the bow of the lower official, and I am willing to serve the dog and horse for the adult!"

Zi Chuanxiu hurriedly helped him up: "Oh, you are the governor of the province, how bad it is to spread it like this." People who don't know still think I'm too domineering. ”

As long as it doesn't spread out, is it okay? Wu Hua understood: "Yes, yes, the lower official is reckless." The lower officials will never say a word outside, please rest assured!"

"Wu Hua, according to your meaning, the best place for a decisive battle is Bartley, right?"

Zi Chuanxiu no longer added honorific titles when he spoke, and Wu Hua was simply overjoyed when he heard it: This shows that the adult has recognized the status of his retainer. He said respectfully, "Exactly." Anyway, if the Inspectorate does not do everything to suppress us, there is a high probability that there will be a chain reaction in other provinces. They will send a large-scale expeditionary team to our province in the near future, and at that time, the Far Eastern Army will be able to inflict heavy losses on the enemy if it is unprepared! In fact, the rebels are now angry, but they are only afraid of Dilin's ferocious prestige, and no one dares to take the lead in resisting. It only takes a defeat to tear their paint, and the forces of all sides will surely swarm, and the rebels will be routed. ”

Shikawa Xiu groaned. Wu Hua's construction is carried by his own selfishness, he ostensibly said that he was thinking about the Far Eastern Army, but in fact, the real purpose was to persuade himself to send troops to rescue Bartley, which Zi Chuanxiu certainly understood, but he would not refuse the other party because of this.

Zi Chuanxiu is no longer a young hairy young man, he has long understood after a long time in the world: there are many truths in the world, but people often only choose the one that is beneficial to themselves. No matter how high-sounding the reason, there must be private interests in it, which is human nature and cannot be avoided.

The key is only that what is beneficial to Wu Hua is also beneficial to himself?

"It's a big deal, Wu Hua, we still have to think about it. Zi Chuanxiu said slowly: "You go back to the guest room to rest first." I'll let you know when I have a conclusion. ”
