lady, please calm down

On October 24th, an autumn rain came unexpectedly.

In the cold wind and rain, Jiarou, accompanied by Cai Yuan, climbed to the top of Tokyo for the first time.

Now there is sufficient food in the city, and although the people are panicking, order is generally in order.

However, Jiarou's mood did not relax.

News inside and outside the city has been cut off for many days. Standing at the top of the city and looking over, under the misty rain, the Jinxia army's barracks are tightly packed and stretching.

According to Cai Shangshu, Jin Xia's army of more than 200,000 people was also surrounded by many righteous troops from various places, so the Jin Xia army did not dare to attack the city.

Looking down from Haotian's perspective, it is exactly what Cai Yuan said.

Tokyo, which has a circumference of fifty miles, is now surrounded by Lian Mian fortresses, but outside the fortresses, there are dozens of Qi troops and volunteers of varying numbers scattered around.

Within a hundred miles of Tokyo, 600,000 people from the Jin, Xixia, and Qi countries have gathered.

At this point, the Three Kingdoms have put all their chips on the gambling table.

The winner takes all.

The loser will die and the country will be destroyed.
Compared with inside the city, the atmosphere of the Qi army outside the city was actually more relaxed.

Yesterday evening, the commander-in-chief of the Huaibei Army, Yang Zhen, wrote about each army. In the first half of the article, he commended Wu'an Army Zhao Mengguang, Chengwu County Magistrate Zhang Shuye, and Colonel Han Shizhong.

In the second half, the leaders of various armies were recruited to go to Chenqiaoyi in the northeast of Beijing for discussion.

Although the outcome of the battle at Tongjinguan Equipment Factory was not great, it was the first time that the Wu'an Army won a battle on a frontal battlefield with the cooperation of the Huaibei Army.

For the 58th Route Qin Wang Yijun, whose morale was low at this time, it was like seeing a faint hope in the darkness.

Therefore, everyone paid due respect to Dushuai Yang's call to go to Chenqiaoyi to discuss matters, and set off overnight.

As soon as Dushuai Yang arrived in Tokyo, he cooperated with Wu'an Army to win his first victory. He did not greed for credit and gave all the credit to Wu'an Army.

Didn't you see? The official document states that Zhao Mengguang will be promoted to the fourth rank of General Xuanwei; Zhang Shuye will be promoted to Wuzhi County, and Zhang Shuye will be promoted to the Privy Council Office; and the school captain Han Shizhong will be promoted to the fifth rank of Ranger General. He will take office after the war. .

All are exceptional promotions.

The only puzzling thing is that although Yang Zhen is the commander-in-chief of Huaibei, he does not have the power to award rewards like this!
In any case, Commander Yang has overstepped his authority. It would be embarrassing if the court did not recognize the official position he had promised after the war.

At the end of the day, the leaders arrived at Chenqiaoyi Camp one after another.

Although Chenqiaoyi is also east of a tributary of the Yellow River, it is dozens of miles closer to Tokyo than Yanjin, which Liu Shuping chose.

The meeting was scheduled to start at three o'clock. Some generals who arrived early found themselves confused when they found that Commander Yang was not sitting in the first place.

Everyone guessed that Governor Yang invited everyone here this time in order to reintegrate Qin Wang Yishi and take back the command power from Liu Shuping.

Most people were happy to see this matter come to fruition. When Liu Jinglue was the head coach, he saw that Feng Jieshuai was in a disadvantageous situation in the war.

Let’s look at Commander Yang. When Zhao Dutong raided the Jinxia Equipment Camp, he not only stepped forward to help, but also tried his best to promote him afterwards!
Following the latter, everyone will naturally feel more at ease.

Furthermore, everyone knew that Huaibei had a strong army, and Commander Yang was a close confidant of the King of Chu. He was the head coach of the 58th Route Volunteer Army, and his qualifications were barely sufficient.

However, Liu Shuping of the Western Army may not be convinced.
Not a moment later, Zhao Mengguang entered with Zhang Shuye and Han Shizhong.

There was a burst of congratulations and admiration all around, and Zhao Mengguang was naturally overjoyed. Zhang and Han were not his subordinates originally. A few days ago, when Zhao Mengguang was operating on the south bank of the Yellow River, they led their troops to surrender.

After the sneak attack on the grain road failed, the morale of the troops was low. Zhang Shuye proposed to Zhao Mengguang that he attack the equipment camp. At that time, Zhao Mengguang hesitated for a day before accepting the suggestion.

Unexpectedly, a fourth-grade general was defeated in one battle, and he became associated with the Huaibei Army.

Here, Wang Bing and Zhe Yanwen took the initiative to talk to Zhao Mengguang.

Over there, Jia Zunze, the prefect of Zezhou, pulled Zhang Shuye aside, trying to win the latter over to join his Qinwang army temporarily.

The two of them are civil servants and are close to each other on a psychological level. The news that Zhang Shuye rushed into battle yesterday with his hair loose has spread. Who wouldn't want to include such a capable man in literature and martial arts in his team.

Han Shizhong, on the other hand, seemed familiar with it. He took the initiative to walk up to Yang Zhen, clasped his fists and said, "Commander Yang, do you dare to ask if the big man with a long sword served in your camp yesterday?"

"Oh? Is there something wrong with General Han?" Dalang asked with a smile.

"That hero is brave and brave. I want to compete with him. I was in a hurry yesterday, so I didn't have time to come forward to talk and get acquainted. I asked Commander Yang for an introduction."

"Hahaha, you have a chance to get to know each other! General Han, would you like to join our Huaibei Army?"

Yang Dalang took the opportunity to dig a corner for someone.

Han Shizhong was stunned, but before he could answer, he suddenly heard a shout from outside, "Master Liu, the commander of Qinfeng Road, Master Jing, commander of Weisheng Military Festival, and Master Kuang, commander of Xin'an Military Festival, are here."

The generals in the tent looked at Yang Dalang subconsciously, and then started talking in low voices.

When Dushuai Yang approached him, he vaguely considered himself the leader of King Qin's rebel army.

At first, the generals thought that Liu Jinglue would not pay attention to the junior Commander-in-Chief Yang, but unexpectedly, he actually came, and he brought several big guys from the Western Army with him.

It seemed that Liu Jinglue was not here to keep himself humble and recognize Yang Dalang as his handsome man, but more like he was here to cause trouble.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Shuping came in, he walked straight to Yang Dalang and said directly: "General Yang, why did you invite me to come?"

"Discuss how to solve the siege of Tokyo." Yang Dalang said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Then let's get started."

"The meeting is scheduled for three o'clock in the afternoon, and the hour is not yet up. Let's wait until one person arrives before we start."

"What a joke! Tokyo is in danger now, and we can't waste a moment! Who is so noble that we still need to wait?"

"In less than three quarters, when the time comes, the meeting will naturally begin."

The moment the two met, they smelled of gunpowder, and everyone's eyes focused on them.

Perhaps because he knew that everyone was watching, Liu Shuping became more and more tough. He snorted and said, "If you want to wait, just wait. I'm back to the camp!"

After saying that, Liu Shuping turned around and left, but before leaving the tent, he waved his hand. Two soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward to capture Han Shizhong, who had just been made a general.

"What are you doing?" Han Shizhong, both of whom were in Western Army positions, did not resist immediately. It was obvious that the two of them had taken out ropes to tie themselves up. Han Shizhong, who had nothing to do with meekness, couldn't help but get annoyed and snatched it from the opponent's hand with his backhand. Walking on the rope, he punched the two men and knocked them back five or six steps in a row.

With a nickname like Po Han Wu, how can he be someone who is at the mercy of others?
"Liu Jinglue, what do you mean?"

Yang Dalang suddenly stood up, obviously angry.
Liu Shuping stood with his hands behind his back, looked directly at Yang Dalang, and said without saltiness, "What's the matter? General Yang wants to protect the deserters?"

The word "deserter" immediately made all the generals in the tent look at each other. They were all military generals, so they naturally knew how to deal with deserters in the army. They could not escape death.

But what is incomprehensible is that deserters are naturally greedy for life and afraid of death, but Han Shizhong was clearly fighting bravely yesterday, so how could he become a deserter in the blink of an eye?
Zhang Shuye, who knew Han Shizhong's background, quickly stepped forward, saluted Liu Shuping, and whispered: "Liu Jinglue, there is some misunderstanding about this matter."

Liu Shuping didn't wait for him to finish, he sneered directly, looked at Han Shizhong, and asked loudly: "Po Han Wu, are you a deserter!"

"Um, no!" As if insulted by the word 'deserter', Han Shizhong held his head high, his face dark and red, and the veins on his neck were protruding.

Zhang Shuye was overjoyed, thinking that this upright man had realized something. As long as he refused to admit it, and with Dushuai Yang protecting him, Han Shizhong would not be in danger of his life.

Who would have thought that Han Shizhong's next argument would put him into death again, "I led more than a hundred brothers to break away from Qin Fenglu's army in order to pursue the Jinxia rear army. I never thought about escaping!"

"Om~"

The generals were in an uproar.

Well, Han Shizhong not only left the army himself, but even took away more than a hundred soldiers.

"." Zhang Shuye looked at this northwest man speechlessly. He knew Han Shizhong best in the tent. The latter was not stupid. He told the truth precisely because he believed that what he did was in line with the moral principles in his heart.

But no matter how you say it, you did leave the team on your own initiative. Liu Shuping used this to punish you for deserting. Others really can't say anything.

If he told a lie, such as being separated from the group during the battle, it would be better than the current situation.

Zhang Shuye had no choice but to look at Dushuai Yang.

Yang Dalang also had a headache. He didn't know that Han Shizhong had such a past, but as soon as he promoted this person according to his wishes, he was kidnapped by Liu Shuping and punished as a deserter. Isn't that a slap in our faces? !
"Liu Jinglue"

Just as Dalang opened his mouth to make peace, Jing Chao took the initiative and said, "Commander Yang also heard this. This person is indeed a Qin Feng Road soldier. This matter should be handled by Liu Jinglue."

"What Commander Jing said is true, but General Han has just made great achievements."

It's okay to let Da Lang go into battle to kill the enemy, but he can't argue with these generations of military leaders. However, Liu Shuping has good reasons for this matter.

Kuang Daogu on the side also said: "Commander Yang, it is true that Han Shizhong has made great achievements. But desertion has always been a big plan in the army. If Liu Jinglue is not handed over to severely punish him, won't everyone follow suit in the future?"

Liu, Jing, and Kuang all came from the same lineage of the Western Army, but the reason why they spoke for Liu Shuping was not entirely due to friendship.

After all, they both also value how Han Shizhong handles this matter.

Nowadays, the officers and soldiers of Qi State know that Huaibei's army is well paid, well-fed, and has a healthy internal competition mechanism. There are countless examples of people who have become middle- and high-level military generals without relying on blood ties or nepotism.

If Han Shizhong cannot be cured this time, what if all the brave men in the Western Army defect to the Huaibei Army?

Here, seeing Liu Shuping's soldiers coming forward again, Han Shizhong's anger rose sharply. He pulled out his sword with a clang and said in a vicious voice: "Come! I have been fighting with Xixia soldiers for half my life, and I have never touched my true seal with Pao Ze. Today I will Come and try it!”

"Brother Han, no!" Zhang Shuye shouted urgently.

This is the main tent of the Huaibei Army. If you attack Shangguan here, no one can protect you!

Seeing that Han Shizhong was dizzy with anger, Liu Shuping sneered and looked around at the generals in the tent, as if to say to everyone, "You have seen it, can such a person be allowed to stay?" '

Hearing the commotion in the tent, the Huaibei sergeants on duty outside the tent also rushed in. They didn't know what happened, but they saw a man holding a sharp blade and quickly drew it.

"Put away the sword!" Yang Dalang shouted, not only for his own sergeants, but also for Han Shizhong.

Just when the situation was tense, the tent was opened again.

But he saw a young general walking inside with a black-faced man.

The two seemed to have known what was going on in the tent in advance. The young general slowly walked up to Han Shizhong, who was still holding a knife.

Tie Dan, who was following behind, quickly took two steps forward and grasped the pear blossom gun tightly.

Han Shizhong and the young general looked at each other, but unexpectedly, the young general suddenly smiled and said, "Fifth brother, go back to the camp and sleep after getting drunk. Why are you so drunk here?"

"."

Liu Shuping, Jing Chao, and Kuang Daogu were confused for a while, and they couldn't figure out who this young man was who came in and out of the Chinese army's tent at will.

But Jing Chao heard his son describe the appearance of the King of Chu, and he looked smartly at Xiang Jing, leader of the fifth Huaibei regiment, Geng Baoxi, Qin Dachuan and others of the ninth regiment among the generals.

As expected, several people showed expressions of surprise. Jing Chao immediately guessed who the person was and quickly took a step back to put some distance between him and Liu Shuping, so as not to be thought that they were in the same group.

Immediately afterwards, Yang An, the commander of the Shandong Road Du Er Brigade, who had been standing outside the crowd watching the excitement, squeezed forward from the crowd and said in surprise: "Your Majesty! It's really your Majesty! When did Your Majesty come back!"

As soon as he said this, nearly half of the Huaibei generals in the tent knelt down on one knee, shouting "King of Chu, Prince, Master" in different voices.

Later, Zhao Mengguang, Zhe Yanwen, Wang Bing and other non-Huaibei generals also knelt down.

In the corner of the tent, Zhang Chunxiao's lips trembled. He wanted to call out to King Chu, but when he opened his mouth, tears fell down first.

Today, he was dragged to Yang Zhen's camp by Liu Shuping, knowing that he was up to no good, but on both sides was the Western Army and the Huaibei Army, and no one cared about him.
So after entering the account, he hid in a corner and pretended to be transparent. Just then he saw the two strongest armies of Daqi arguing again. The huge feeling of powerlessness made Lao Zhang want to run out and drown himself in the river, so that he could calm down.

But just at this moment, Zhang Chunxiao's anxiety and fear, like all his internal organs were burning, dissipated in an instant. Just because the King of Chu was back!

Over there, Chen Chu took advantage of Han Shizhong's daze, slowly took the saber from the latter's hand, and slowly put it into the scabbard on Han Shizhong's waist.

Han Shizhong was still in great shock, like a puppet on strings.

After doing this, Chen Chu looked back at Liu Shuping and said with a smile: "Liu Jinglue, why are you so angry?"

At this time, Liu Shuping naturally knew who the visitor was, and subconsciously looked to his left and right, but Jing Chao and Kuang Daogu, who were standing side by side with him just now, were no longer there.

Kuang Daogu was three feet away from him, as if the Western Army general's visit to the Huaibei military camp to stir up trouble had nothing to do with him.

And that Jing Chao was so shameless that he also imitated General Huaibei and knelt down on one knee!
What a bunch of cowards!

The shadow of a famous tree
Although Jing and Kuang were missing, Liu Shuping was not willing to give in. He felt that he was being justified, so he bit the bullet and said: "So that the King of Chu will know that I, Qin Feng Road Colonel Po Han Wu, seduced more than a hundred sergeants to do this." A deserter, now caught by the officer, he drew his sword and tried to resist."

"Hey, Liu Jinglue might have admitted the wrong person, right? Brother Han grew up in Caizhou since he was a child. He was a soldier personally recruited by the king in the eighth year of Fuchang. When did he go to your Qinfeng Road to serve as a soldier?"

Chen Chu looked puzzled, but Dalang almost laughed out loud. This Korean guy spoke with a strong northwest accent, so he couldn't have grown up in Caizhou!

Chen Chu was obviously playing rogue, so what?

The reason why he can do this is due to his prestige in the military circles of Qi State, but Dalang cannot do this, otherwise he will definitely be sprayed to death by Liu Shuping.

"."

As expected, Liu Shuping was stunned for a moment and then his expression quickly returned to calm.

Naturally, he would not really argue with the King of Chu whether Han Shizhong belonged to the Qin Feng Army or the Huaibei Army, but since the King of Chu had made his attitude clear, he could only admit it.

Han Shizhong, who was in the rear, was initially shocked. The first sentence he heard after he came to his senses was, "Brother Han grew up in Caizhou since he was a child." He couldn't help but subconsciously retorted: "I have never been to Huaibei. I grew up in Fengxiang, Qinfeng Road." The government grows up!”

Chen Chu put his hand on his forehead and turned around to scold: "What a stinky fart! You remember wrong! You grew up in Dingjiawan, west of Caizhou City, and you and Captain Wu are neighbors!"

".That feeling was misremembered."

"Also, don't imitate the words of our brothers from the Western Army in the future!"

"Well, I understand." (End of chapter)
