In Yecheng, all squares are under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter and leave the door, and the food and drink are all uniformly dispatched by special personnel.

All over the city wall, there are warriors wearing bows and arrows to observe whether there are birds flying in the sky. Whenever there is a bird, it will be disturbed by the sound of arrows, and it will turn against him.

Although the plague of dried corpses has inevitably spread among the people, it is still under control.

"Who are those? How did you get here? What's going on with the previous levels? ”

The sentry on the watchtower of the city wall couldn't help but wonder as he looked at the procession walking on the main road in the distance.

He pulled out his monoculars and looked at them.

“1、2、3······ 10。 ”

He counted, and there were ten vehicles in the team, all of them black SUVs.

"Lao Qi, there's a car coming from outside, it looks like someone from Qi State, you go and ask the chief, what should we do?"

According to the process, Ye Cheng is now not allowed to enter the city.

However, this rule was still broken in front of these people outside the city.

Moreover, Liu Guanguan personally led the team to the city gate and opened the city gate to greet him.

"In this situation, Minister Ren actually came here in person."

Liu Guanguan was at the gate of the city and saw Ren Nuan getting out of the car.

"The name of the general, like thunder, is the first time we have really met. At the moment of the epidemic, the mission is light and simple, if there is no courtesy, please forgive General Liu. ”

Ren Nuan said to Liu Guanguan.

Liu Guanguan's self-proclaimed "King Wu" is not recognized by the Qi State, and Ren Nuan, as the minister of the Qi State, will naturally not recognize it.

"Minister Ren is too polite."

After Liu Guanguan and Ren Nuan exchanged a few words, they invited and said: "The house has prepared a banquet, please invite Minister Ren to come into the city to speak." ”

"Looking at Ye Cheng's vigilance, I think the general has also realized the horror of the plague."

After entering the city, the convoy stopped on the street outside General Liu Guanguan's mansion, and when the two entered the mansion, Ren Nuan spoke.

"The plague has already broken out in Zhongzhou's gravel source and Hengfeng, and I have seen it, it's really terrifying!"

Liu Guanguan said.

"If we don't come up with an effective solution, this disaster may not be less harmful than the disaster of living corpses more than ten years ago.

Nearly 20 years have passed since the plague of living corpses, and the negative impact has not yet completely passed. If the plague of dried corpses is allowed to sweep the world again, it is impossible to say whether this world will still be the world of human beings in the future. ”

Ren Nuan said and took out a report.

The report is only two pages long, about a thousand words.

"These are some research results and information obtained by the imperial court, you can take a look."

Ren Nuan handed it to Liu Guanguan.

After taking a seat in one of the halls, Mrs. Mi also came out to pay respects.

She and Liu Guanguan, the two watched the report together.

After reading it, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "This Daru is so mad!?" ”

"Just part of the Daru. Moreover, among these people, the majority are Luts. They will do whatever it takes to win, and it is not surprising that some of those who are now on the verge of the end have chosen to embrace this plague.

Fortunately, the purpose of these people is to use the plague to gain a longer life, not to infect other people into dried corpses, and will not actively infect others.

However, with the contagious ability of the dry corpse plague, coupled with the help of others, it is already difficult for the southern land to prevent the plague! ”

Ren Nuan said the actual difficulties at hand.

"Can you tell us what the imperial court is going to do?"

Mi Fang asked.

"We are united as one."

Ren Nuan looked at Mi Fang: "This is the foundation, and it was also personally instructed by the king." ”

"I see."

Mi Fang nodded.

What Ren Nuan said seemed to be only about the ideology of epidemic prevention, but she understood that this was to gather military power!

These warlords, under this plague, are about to be swept out of the stage of history.

Moreover, this reason is very strong and tenable, which is not only a good excuse for the imperial court, but also a good step for these warlords.

Liu Guanguan's face was still a little unwilling: "The imperial court promised me to control the Fourth Route Army and gave me the title of founding general······"

"The king promised to give General Liu the title of Marquis of Yecheng, and after the founding of the country, General Liu was allowed to recommend a person to be a civil official at or above the department level."

Ren Nuan said at the right time.

Speaking of which, this reward is a bit shabby as a bargaining chip for Liu Guanguan to hand over military power.

The title of Qi is now neither hereditary nor promised to be granted. Compared with Liu Guanguan's actual status now, he really can't see it.

But not to mention that the Qi army is at its peak, and its strength crushes the Beiwan group.

It is only said that when fighting against the Daru, he asked for help from the Qi State and introduced the help of the instructors and troops of the Qi State, which was no different from luring the wolf into the house for Liu Guanguan, and it was a choice that had to be made under the conditions at that time.

Today, a large number of grassroots officers of the Fourth Route Army are from the Qi army. Who belongs to this army now, even Liu Guanguan can't say clearly.

"With the current situation in the world, even if General Liu does not agree, the imperial court will not use a big army, but General Liu must also think about the future.

If General Liu does not agree, the overall deployment of the imperial court's epidemic prevention game will inevitably be disrupted, resulting in deformation of the action.

Once there is a problem with epidemic prevention, General Liu has an unshirkable responsibility, and with this responsibility, he must bear this responsibility! ”

Ren Nuan saw that Liu Guanguan frowned tightly and didn't speak, and his words became tougher.

"Is this the meaning of the imperial court, or the meaning of the king?"

Mi Fang suddenly interjected and asked.

Ren Nuan looked at Mi Fang and said, "It is not only the meaning of the court, but also the meaning of the king." ”

"That being the case, the husband should indeed let go of his military power."

Mi Fang looked at Liu Guanguan.

Liu Guanguan also looked at his wife's eyes, and after seeing her bow slightly, he withdrew his gaze and stared silently at the teacup in his hand.

After pondering for a moment, as if he had figured it out, his body became relaxed.

Liu Guanguan opened his mouth and said: "Okay, after so many years of fighting, I should also enjoy it, it's good to be a rich man!"

But I also have one thing to ask for. ”

"General Liu, but it's okay to talk about it."

Ren Nuan motioned for Liu Guanguan to speak.

"I am willing to hand over military power, but my wife is a talented person who is a man of civil affairs and martial arts. I hope that in the future, my wife will serve as the prefect of Yeseong-gun, which is where we started, and I also hope that in the future, this will be built into a rich city like Yundae-gun.

Ren Nuan listened to Liu Guanguan's words and was also a little surprised.

He looked at Mi Fang.

Before he came, he had seen the detailed information of the Beiwan Group.

Mi Fang is a vixen, and he knows it.

So far, in the system of Qi State, there are also monsters who are officials, but basically they are all martial arts, and there are very few school officials, and there are no more.

This is limited by the innate conditions of the demon clan. They became the earliest, that is, more than ten years of hard work, and even fewer integrated into human society.

Except for a few gifted ones, most of their knowledge is not systematic, and it is difficult to mix in human society before their personalities are polished.

If Mi Fang becomes the prefect of Ye County, he may be the only civil official among the monsters, and even the only official of the department.

However······ Ren Nuan thought of the time when he chatted privately with the king before, and the king's vision for the future of Daqi.

Won the provinces of Baiyue, Gwangju, Qihang, DJI, and Wonju, and became a multi-ethnic unified country.

And the demon clan is also counted by the king as one of the ethnic minorities in Daqi.

Moreover, with the development of industry, a large number of women have entered the textile and garment industry and other jobs, and the slogan that women can hold up half the sky has also been shouted. At this time, women are also needed in the officialdom to make a difference and play an exemplary role.

Mi Fang is not only a demon clan, but also a woman, and a person with a lot of ability and skill. The huge Beiwan Group can be managed in an orderly manner in her hands, and has won more than a dozen battles under her leadership.

"I don't think it's going to be difficult."

Out of understanding of the king, Ren Nuan said.

Because of the reality, in the war against the Daru, the Qi court has already grasped these two groups, and there is no difficulty in the negotiation process.

However, it will take some time for the local government and the military to change personnel and control.

It is also necessary to take into account the issue of epidemic prevention, and this handover process has been lengthened.

The whole process is not completed overnight, according to the time step, it will not be completed until the end of the year.

However, in the area from Chungju to Gwangju, all the epidemic prevention work has been taken over by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of National Defense.

A large number of epidemic prevention materials have been continuously transported from the south by train.

Rongcheng County, Rice Town.

It is close to the Liusha River, there are continuous paddy fields, and the rice grown is more delicious than the rice fields in the south, and the steamed rice grains are distinct, and the rice fragrance is rich. Hence the name of the rice town.

The market town of Daogu Town is built around the wharf of the Liusha River, and in the past, people came from the south to the north, and people were crowded with people, and it was lively and prosperous. Now, it has been depressed by a plague, and the whole street is nowhere to be seen, and only a platoon of soldiers is guarding the main road between east and west, north and south.

"Didi~"

A whistle.

"It's the chief of staff's car!"

The observation post shouted.

The people in the checkpoint all ran out at once.

The car stopped, and Han Wenlong walked out.

"Brother Wenlong, why are you?"

The platoon commander trotted to the car, and found that it was Han Wenlong, so he couldn't help but glance inside.

"What's wrong Brother Zhang, what do you mean, I, Han Wenlong, come to you, and I look cold?"

Han Wenlong slapped his military hat and said to Platoon Commander Zhang.

"How can that, I haven't congratulated Brother Wenlong on his promotion!"

Platoon Commander Zhang said with a grin.

"What kind of promotion, it's just that he is also the section chief of the training section in the battalion, and he has added a lot of work content."

Han Wenlong waved his hand and said modestly.

But he couldn't help but smile a little more on his face.

Although the head of the training section is not of high rank, he is no longer a lonely bare-rod lieutenant, and there are a few big soldiers under him who can be called. Although the authority has become bigger, there is no need to do the work of writing materials in person, you only need to do a good job of the general pass, grasp the important data, and you can do it well, which is really much easier than before.

Moreover, the training section is in charge of the arrangement of the daily training work of the battalion headquarters, and the various company commanders who ignored him in the past now treat him like a brother, and their attitude is a little stammering.

Now walking in the camp, he has a little more majesty, which makes him walk with the wind!

"Okay, come over for dinner at noon."

Han Wenlong beckoned the soldiers in the platoon to come over: "I just went to your company for inspection, and your cooking class made dumplings today, and I happened to bring them to you."

They're all here to eat, and it's still hot. ”

The two soldiers who came with the car, both of whom were his subordinates of the training department, carried the lunch box from the car.

"I'm blessed today, my eye sockets are pressed out of the folds of protective glasses."

"Take off the mask, be careful, don't fold it casually, it won't work if it's broken!"

The soldiers at the checkpoint came to pick up the food boxes.

"Today's winter solstice."

Platoon Commander Zhang slipped to the side with a food box.

"Yes, I thought that I would be able to unify the whole country this year, and the king would be the emperor of the country, who would have thought that such a thing would be made."

Han Wenlong also carried a boxed lunch, squatting with Platoon Chang Zhang and eating dumplings.

He peeled a piece of garlic and handed it to Platoon Leader Zhang: "It's a pity that there is no vinegar." ”

"It's okay, you can eat dumplings here, or cabbage and pork filling, when I was a soldier during the Jing Dynasty, I couldn't think of it!

You are young, and you have never seen the darkness in the army during the Jing Dynasty······"

Although Platoon Commander Zhang was only in his thirties, his family was poor, and he became a child soldier in the Jing Dynasty when he was a teenager.

"In the first half of the year, the black-hearted cotton clothes of our front-line soldiers, I heard that even the king was alarmed, and in a fit of anger, he ordered someone to investigate thoroughly and cut off the heads of many officials.

Platoon Commander Zhang said that he was satisfied with the current situation.

"Look at this, isn't it cute?"

He took out the necklace around his neck and opened it to reveal a photograph of a little girl in a group.

"Cute, your girl?"

Han Wenlong took a look, he looked three or four years old, pink with a little baby fat, his black eyes were very smart, and he looked very cute.

"Yes, my daughter, 6 years old this year, hasn't seen her for almost two years, and I don't know if she still recognizes my father."

Platoon Commander Zhang looked at the photo with a smile on his face.

"Not necessarily."

Han Wenlong patted the platoon leader's shoulder.

"Your sister-in-law is at home with the children alone, and it is not easy to take care of the elderly, this Northern Expedition is over, I should also retire, and when the time comes, I will go back to my hometown to be a policeman and guard the family to live······"

"Woo~"

Just as Platoon Commander Zhang was chattering about the situation at home with a happy expression, there was a sudden sound of the whistle of a river wheel on the quicksand river.

Everyone looked up and saw a river ship passing in the middle of the river.
