Zhou Yong was stunned, then waved the paper in his hand: "What crime do you have! Tell me! Why did Xi Yin attack Zhenjiang? They, they all said Zhenjiang was a dead end! They said that Xi Yin would be punished if he attacked Zhenjiang.

Drag it there. Why does Xiyin want to attack? Qin Qing, you mentioned this to me before, don't pretend to be stupid, you said..."

"I, I dare not speak nonsense..."

Zhou Yong shouted: "You said"

"That may be..." Qin Hui knelt there and said with difficulty, "Xi Yin has a perfect plan..."

The room became quiet, and Zhou Yong was stunned for a long time: "I knew, I knew, they were going to take action... those beasts, those traitors... they... Wu Dynasty had raised them for more than two hundred years, they...

They are going to sell my son, they are going to sell me... If I know who he is, I will punish his nine tribes... punish his ten tribes, punish... punish his eleven tribes..."

He muttered like this for a while, then turned to Qin Hui: "Qin Qing, what can you do? How can you save my son? There are soldiers in Changzhou around Zhenjiang... How many people can be sent there? Send the navy from Jiangning

Okay, okay, those people... Believe it or not, Qin Qing, you have to help me, my son can't be in trouble... Get up!"

Qin Hui knelt there and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise and will definitely have countermeasures. Maybe soldiers from Changzhou and Jiangning are already on the way. Or maybe Xiyin has a plan, but His Highness the Crown Prince sees through it.

In that case, Zhenjiang will be the place of Xi Yin's downfall. We are... separated by places, so it's really not appropriate... to interfere..."

"I know what those people are! I know the virtues of those people! I know!" Zhou Yong yelled, "I know! How many high-ranking officials in the court are waiting to betray me! Look!

Jingping and his gang are so cowardly! My son! They are rushing ahead! They are still holding back! And that black flag! I have already shown good intentions! How will they react! They know how to kill, kill, and hoe rape! Junwu is his.

Disciple! Send out troops, send out troops! Just like what you said, Qin Qing! The black flag is just to gain fame! Who is waiting to kill me? Who can help Jun Wu?"

Zhou Yong was hysterical and roared so much that the whole palace was shaking. Later, his face showed a sad look and his mouth was already full of saliva. Qin Hui got up and bowed aside. Zhou Yong walked in the palace with trembling arms and murmured from time to time.

He muttered to himself, and then spoke in a low voice: "Qin Qing, you are right, there is always a way, there is always a way. Maybe I have seen through Xiyin's plan before, there is a way... There is no use in hurrying.

There’s no point in being anxious…”

He comforted himself for a long time and was quiet for a long time. Qin Hui straightened up: "Now that things have happened, we can only wait for the battle report from the front line."

His voice lost its previous panic, and contained a faint, reassuring strength. Zhou Yong nodded, and after a while, he sat on the edge of the bed.

"I want Jun Wu to be fine..." He looked at Qin Hui, "Nothing will happen to my son. Jun Wu is a good prince, and he will be a good emperor in the future. Qin Qing, nothing will happen to him... Those beasts..."

The skylight shone in obliquely from the windows and doorways, and the cool wind ruffled the gauze in the palace, soaking the emperor's feeble murmurs in the afternoon wind.

****************

To the southwest, in the corner of the Chengdu Plain, is Niutou County, which is also known as Lao Niutou by outsiders.

This area is located at the junction of the area under the jurisdiction of the Huaxia Army and the area under the jurisdiction of the Wu Dynasty. The terrain is complex and the population is large. However, since last year, due to the active efforts of veteran cadres and members of the Huaxia Army stationed here, this area has won several awards in the vicinity.

Members of the villages and counties who actively recognized the Huaxia Army helped many nearby people for free, donated medicine and medicine, and opened private schools for the surrounding children to go to school for free. By this spring, new land was being reclaimed and planted, and the people's enthusiasm for the Huaxia Army was

It has developed greatly. In later generations, it can be regarded as a place that "learned from Lei Feng and advanced the county".

Therefore, Ning Yi came over to commend the advanced personnel stationed here. In the afternoon, Ning Yi gave a lecture to some young officers and cadres gathered in Niutou County.

"...Sometimes, there are some things that are very interesting to talk about...Our biggest opponents today, the Jurchens, have risen very quickly. The generation that was born in trouble has a very strong ability to learn from the outside world and is very receptive.

I once told everyone that when they attacked the Liao Kingdom, their siege skills were still very weak. They improved rapidly during the destruction of the Liao Kingdom. Later, in the process of attacking the Wu Dynasty, they gathered a large number of craftsmen.

, constantly making improvements that even the people of the Wu Dynasty could not match..."

"... But at the same time, when the environment calmed down, their second and third generations decayed very quickly. Everyone in the staff joked that if it hadn't been for our several years of war in Xiaocanghe, women would have been

The senior officials of Zhenzhen warned that the current situation of the Jiangnan War may be completely different... The Jurchens only stopped after they conquered the Liao Kingdom and almost leveled the world. The uprising of Fang La back then was a matter of equality and no superiority. They stopped

The speed is much faster. Just after conquering Hangzhou, the top management began to enjoy themselves..."

"...You don't have to laugh, our Chinese army is facing the same problem...In this process, what is the driving force that determines their progress? It is culture and spirit. The first Jurchens suffered a lot, and they have a sense of urgency.

This sense of worry runs through their entire spirit. They learn very quickly, but they stop when there is peace. Until our rise gives them a sense of unsteadiness, but if the world becomes peaceful, they will be destined to move into a rapid downward curve.

…”

"...We must pay attention to this matter. We will also slip into such a curve. Several years have passed since the struggle in Xiaocanghe and the hardships in the northwest. We have conquered the Chengdu Plain again, and the Wu Dynasty is in a mess... We have even begun to

Blindly optimistic..."

He was talking in class, and Juaner appeared outside the door and stood there to signal to him. Ning Yi walked out and saw the urgent message.

"...Xi Yin's attack on Zhenjiang may be complicated. The General Staff sent a message asking if we should go back immediately..."

Ning Yi folded up the message and looked at the small county town outside: "It's beyond our reach, what can we do if we rush back... We have more important things here."

Juan'er nodded and was about to leave when Ning Yi reached out and touched her arm: "Spread the news and we will set off tomorrow morning."

"yes."

…

More than eighty miles away from Lao Niutou, Xigua and his men galloped into Zhang Village on horseback.

The horse team was like a whirlwind, stopping in front of the courtyard where the family lived at this time. Xigua got off the horse and was greeted by Wenwen, who was playing in front of the courtyard gate: "Aunt Gua, are you back?"

"Wenwen, Aunt Gua has something to do. I will bring you something delicious next time..." Xigua's words remained in the air, and the figure had already rushed to the yard more than ten feet away, and quickly rushed into the study. Only Su Tan'er was there.

Which organizes things: "Watermelon?"

"Where is my husband? Where have they gone?"

"He... has been out for two days, for that... first person..."

"He went to Lao Niutou?"

"Yeah." Su Tan'er nodded, and her eyes became serious, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"When did your husband go?"

"It was noon the day before yesterday. Speaking of which, I should have arrived last night. Lao Niutou is nearby. Are the Wu Dynasty people going to take action at this time? There are troops stationed over there..."

"That's them..." Xigua whispered, and Su Tan'er was slightly startled: "What did you say?"

"I'm not sure either. I hope... I'm overthinking it." Xigua's eyes hesitated for a moment. After a moment, he suddenly disappeared into the room like the wind. "I will rush over immediately... Don't worry."

…

Old bull head.

After the lecture, going down the hillside was a river that passed through the county. The sun was about to set, and the sand was clear and white. Ning Yi stood by the river and watched for a while.
