Chapter 1011
Time goes back to a few days ago.

On the afternoon of April 24th, the Seventh Chinese Army beheaded Wanyan Sheyema and formally defeated Wanyan Zonghan's army. However, due to the complexity of the battle formation, Xi Yin mobilized his troops to guard the passages in Hanzhong City, and the real evacuation was announced. Arrived at 25 this morning.

The news of the end of the Battle of Hanzhong spread everywhere.Dai Mengwei, Liu Guangshi and others in Xicheng County received the message in the afternoon of this day.They then started to act in tandem to stabilize the situation. At this time, the various military departments located near Xicheng County also learned of the direction of the situation sooner or later.

The 2 troops united by Zong Han and Xi Yin rushed to the Seventh Army of China, and then were defeated by [-] soldiers of the Seventh Army. The news that Zong Han even had one of his sons killed again brought great shock to everyone on the south bank of the Han River. , Strange psychological impact.In a way, it's like the arrival of a magical world.

The people in power of most forces reacted silently when they received the news, and then ordered their subordinates to confirm whether the news was accurate or not.

For Dai Mengwei's unintegrated forces, factors of chaos are already brewing.But Dai Mengwei moved quickly, especially with the endorsement of the more prestigious Liu Guangshi, they quickly contacted the leaders of most of the nearby forces, stabilized the situation, and reached a preliminary consensus.

Although the Chinese Seventh Army's performance on the Hanzhong battlefield is strong, the prospects of the entire army may not be clear.Liu Guangshi, Dai Mengwei and others threw out the follow-up plan they had previously discussed. For those who can master it, they naturally hope that they can join the alliance and advance and retreat together.After all, no one in the army that can be here at this time can be called a thriving force. Even if they have different plans and stay on the front line, we can see each other again in the future.

Such lobbying temporarily suppressed possible confusion, but the situation has since been out of control on two sharp points:

One is the siege of Qi Xinhan and Wang Zhainan by Chuan Linpu. Since 26, it has been unable to continue.Most of those who participated in the siege had already begun to work without any effort, and some even sent envoys in to quietly discuss matters with Qi Xinhan and others.Qi Xinhan, Wang Zhainan and others, who were trapped in the mountain city due to the rapid changes, were also in shock at the beginning, fearing that they would fall into Wanyan Xiyin's tricks if they believed the rumors credulously.

The second key point lies in the prisoners east of Xicheng County.These Han troops were originally touched by Dai Mengwei and others' call for ascending the heights, and began to fight against the gold, and then they were sold to Wanyan Xiyin. About [-] soldiers were captured outside Xicheng County.For these more than [-] people, Dai Mengwei promised Xi Yin that they would smoke three and kill one, but because the situation changed too quickly, and because Dai Mengwei was still in the process of digesting the forces under his command, he delayed the promised massacre until Hanzhong. When the news came, even some leaders who agreed with Dai and Liu's philosophy began to try their best to prevent the continuation of the massacre. Of course, since Zong Hanxi and Yin had already been defeated, Dai Mengwei also pushed the boat along the way and was grateful for the delay in this matter of.

On the 27th, Qi Xinhan and Wang Zhainan, who had confirmed the news, pushed their troops to Xicheng County after a short rest. More than ten thousand troops arrived in the countryside outside the county town at night, and were blocked by a large number of people gathered outside the city.

On the evening of the 27th and the early morning of the 28th, a large number of people entered and left the Huaxia Army camp openly or covertly.

The ones who made the announcement were the elders and the sages of the village who gathered nearby. They came for Dai Mengwei and believed that although the two sides had different ideas, Dai Mengwei had millions of people living in this area. These old people were either threatening their lives or Proclaim righteousness, in order to dissuade Qi, Wang and others from starting a war against Xicheng County.

As for those who come in covertly, they are the various forces nearby who are trying to do something anyway or trying to sniff out the wind anyway.It is difficult to live in troubled times. After the Jurchen crossed the Han River and wreaked havoc, the number of "armies" on this land actually increased on a large scale. First, all forces began to desperately arrest the strong men. Second, with the collapse of the country, It is better to be a soldier and bully others than not be a soldier and be bullied.Xi Yin handed over hundreds of thousands of troops to Dai Mengwei. The soldiers were already exhausted, but the generals more or less developed the habit of banditry or speculation in the process of plundering big fish and eating small fish. They have their own demands and hope Being able to be "recruited", Qi Xinhan naturally couldn't give any response to such thoughts.

On 28, Dai Mengwei went out of the city to meet Qi Xinhan and Wang Zhainan. Behind him were the people all over the mountains and plains. He was impassioned in front of the two armies, and lamented the theory that the Huaxia Army must be a disaster for the world. He knew that Xicheng County would not be able to resist the power of the Huaxia Army. But even so, they will never give up their resistance, and they will issue a declaration that the people with conscience will never give up their resistance and let the Huaxia Army "just slaughter it."

Several generals stood together with Dai Mengwei, and at the same time, the people in the mountains and plains outside Xicheng County also shouted together under the mobilization of Dai's family, telling the Huaxia Army to just "kill it".

At this time, several Han army units of different sizes made an unconditional stand to join the Huaxia Army, but most of the forces are still on the sidelines.Wang Zhainan was very hot-tempered, and tried to lead his troops directly into Xicheng County and kill Dai Mengwei's family, but Qi Xinhan couldn't make such a decision, so he could only order someone to pass the news to the Hanzhong Front Enemy Headquarters.

Also on the evening of the 28th, the Jurchen West Route Army fleet that was moving eastward along the Han River to Xiangfan crossed Xicheng County.

From the [-]-odd invincible army going southward to the hasty retreat of tens of thousands of people, at this moment, the Jurchens' evacuation fleet is almost across the river from the [-] Huaxia army on this side, but the Jurchen troops are no longer there. The spirit of attacking.

What not many people know is that it was also in the evening of this day that after learning about the situation in Xicheng County, Wanyan Xiyin approached the south bank of the Han River secretly with a small fleet, and quietly met Dai Mengwei outside Xicheng County.

The last time Xi Yin and Dai Mengwei met was only more than ten days ago. At that time, Xi Yin was surprised by Dai Mengwei's vicious intentions, but he probably neither agreed nor understood what Dai had done. The changed situation forced them to meet again.

The meeting this time was in a grove by the river. The bleak sunset fell through the gaps in the trees. Xi Yin got off the boat and didn't walk much. Dai Mengwei confronted Qi Xinhan and others in the morning and gave a generous speech. Arching his hands, his face is still sad and old.After saluting each other, he frankly stated to Xi Yin that the previous promise of drawing three kills for one prisoner could no longer be carried out.

Xi Yin waved his hand and didn't mind.He asked Dai Mengwei to kill people, but in order to confirm his position, he asked Qi Na to submit a certificate. Now that the confrontation between Dai Mengwei and the Huaxia Army has been confirmed, it doesn't matter if he submits a certificate.And from a macro point of view, when the strongest armed forces of the Kingdom of Jin were defeated by the Huaxia Army, the Han army in the south was useless in front of the Huaxia Army, but Dai Mengwei's strength seemed weak, but he held high the righteousness Banners, people who are not afraid of life and death can cause the most trouble to the Huaxia Army.

"Since Duke Dai is in charge of justice, indiscriminate killings can be avoided if possible. This is what I want to suggest to Duke Dai today. There are 5 people in Xicheng County. After that, even if Duke Dai returns to the Huaxia Army, I can understand , Dai Gong just let go and do what you want."

Dai Mengwei cupped his hands: "Thank God Gu for understanding."

Xi Yin walked forward slowly: "Gong Dai is a smart man. The outcome of the Battle of Hanzhong has been decided, and the West Route Army is going back. I must have taken the risk to come here today, so Dai Gong must be clear about why. Today's confrontation before the battle, let I have seen Duke Dai's determination to fight against the Black Banner Army, but... I don't know how much Duke Dai can deal with it if the Black Banner Army is desperate to wipe out the West City."

Dai Mengwei put his hands in his sleeves: "The black flag is powerful, from the Central Plains to the south of the Yangtze River, no one can fight against it. Today, the old people are inciting the people and shouting in front of the battle, but if Ning Liheng really has the determination to kill Come here, they won't really stand in the way, then people will be knifed and I will be fish and meat, and the old man will die, and there will be no other results."

"Then Dai Gong is just hoping for Ning Yi's mercy."

"The enemy is strong and we are weak, and we are neighbors. The situation in the world has come to this. How much choice does this old man have? But no matter whether this old man lives or dies, the problem of the black flag is unsolvable. If he does not kill him today, this old man will naturally continue to fight with him." As an enemy, he came in today. Those who shouted will certainly not stand in front of the old man, but after the massacre, they will naturally publicize the tyranny of the black flag. The spread of deeds, from Liu Guangshi to Wu Qimei, from Xiao Zheng to Qiuwen Road, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp."

Xi Yin tilted his head and looked over: "It's just that in the face of the black flag's combat power, what's the use of these shouts?"

Dai Mengwei did not hesitate: "The battle between the Wu Dynasty and the Jinren is a national war. In many cases, it is a matter of life and death. But the battle between the black flag and the Wu Dynasty is a battle of ideas. If Ning Yi is desperate today and wants to wipe out the Central Plains and the Jiangnan may not be impossible. However, after the leveling off, the people who will be used for governance will be Han Chinese after all, and they must all be Han Chinese who have studied. These vacancies can be filled without a day, and the first batch to go up will be able to determine the future. What will it look like. If Ning Yi does not want people's hearts, no one can defeat it from the outside, but the inside will quickly disintegrate and die. If he kills Wu Chao today, what will come to him tomorrow will only be It will be an empty shell that can't get out of the capital even with an order, then in a few years, my Wu Dynasty will be able to come back."

Dai Mengwei's words always seem to have an ominous tinge in their calmness, but the truth in them is often hard to refute. Xi Yin frowned and murmured: "Borrowing a dead body..."

"Gushen's description like this is actually not wrong." Dai Mengwei cupped his hands and calmly responded to the four-character description, "It is also because of this that the chance of the old man surviving this time may not be small, and as long as the black flag If I don’t kill the old man for the first time, the old man and everyone in the Wu Dynasty will have righteousness and fame, a weapon that can fight against the black flag. There have been many verbal disputes since then, and the old man is not necessarily the loser.”

Dai Mengwei paused: "Since Gu Shen came here today, he naturally understands these things, so there is no need for me to make noise."

Xi Yin turned his gaze to the river in the north: "This time when the commander-in-chief and I return to the north this time, the Kingdom of Jin will experience a major turmoil. Within ten years, I, Dajin, will be powerless and difficult to take care of. To you, I don't know if this is a big change." Good news or bad news... The matter of the Wu Dynasty will be decided between you in the future."

Dai Meng nodded slightly: "In terms of force, no one in the world can see a glimmer of hope in the face of the black flag, but in terms of background, the chaos in the world in the future is still unpredictable."

"There is no need to hide in front of smart people like Duke Dai. In the current situation, who can become a black flag trouble, I, Dajin, are happy to see it succeed. When I retreated north, I said that everything in the south of the Yangtze River could be left under the control of Duke Dai. But now it seems that these things are of limited help to Duke Dai. Now the Black Banner is strong and strong, and the concept of Gewu is ahead of the world, but in terms of materials, it is still my Dajin who is strong, and in the study of Gewu, the best in the world The only one who can keep up with the black flag is our Jin Guoda Academy... If Mr. Dai is fine this time, if we want to fight against the black flag, we have a lot of things that can come in handy."

"Gu Shen is so scheming..." As the two walked forward slowly, Dai Mengwei was silent for a while, "It's just that we fight against the black flag in the name of righteousness, but we make deals with Dajin in private, and take Gu God's support. Even if one day in the future, our side is really likely to defeat the black flag, the final lifeline is only tied to the thoughts of Jin Guogu and others. If we do this round of transactions, we will lose too much .”

Xi Yin smiled: "Mr. Dai is really discerning... That's okay, some transactions will leave behind, and some transactions can be avoided. Since I'm here today, you can ask for whatever you want, can you please Let's do it, let's discuss it in detail..."

Dai Mengwei also nodded: "Since Gushen is so generous, then...I want to talk to Gushen about Bianliang first..."

For a moment, Xi Yin's laughter came from the riverside under the setting sun. This laughter was heroic, approving, ridiculing, and complicated...the two talked about many things on the riverside afterwards.

At this moment, no one knew about the negotiation and transaction between Dai Mengwei and Wanyan Xiyin, but after a few days, Liu Guangshi in the alliance sighed, "This old boy really has a way".

On the night of the 28th, Dai Mengwei completed the negotiation with Xi Yin. On the 29th, Ning Yi arrived in Hanzhong. In the middle of the night on the 29th, Ning Yi and Qin Shaoqian discussed many things. Qin Shaoqian then brought out the situation in Xicheng County and asked for instructions. This was originally the first An important matter that needs to be discussed for a while, but there are too many things right now, so it was postponed a little bit.

"... When it comes to the white wolf with empty gloves, I really admire this surname Dai, and he is also impassioned, at least he doesn't seem to be afraid of death... I'm curious, when the knife rests on his neck, what will this old thing be like? what expression."

The two chatted in the dining hall all night, and now they went out to take a walk in the military camp under the starlight. When it came to Dai Mengwei, Qin Shaoqian couldn't help sighing and admiring him.

Ning Yi has seen what Qi Xinhan asked for instructions.

"For the army that wants to surrender, it is not acceptable to kill and set fire and be recruited. We can accept those who surrendered unconditionally anyway. As long as they surrender, we have the final say whether it is reorganized, reorganized or disbanded. But considering these soldiers Most of them are young men who have been captured, and they already hate war. We can guarantee that those who have done no serious crimes and committed murders will not be blamed, and can go back to farm. The same policy can be used to lobby and recruit all parties... Of course, there are Those who are capable and willing to accept transformation can stay, but they must accept transformation. There is no need to explain this transformation too clearly, and those who want to negotiate the price do not need to talk about it.”

Qin Shaoqian nodded: "That's fine. In fact, hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops are counted. But to put it bluntly, they are strong men, and it is also a problem caused by the rampage of Jurchen. The news of the Battle of Hanzhong spread. I will see it for a month. Now, most of this 'army' is going to disintegrate. It is very necessary for us to come up with a statement... But what about Lao Dai? Let him take advantage of it, it's a bit embarrassing."

"Sometimes, I think, we still have to admit the existence of idealists."

"Ok?"

"We just treat Lao Dai as a Confucian model who is driven by a sense of mission and who is not afraid of life and death. I don't think it has anything to do with it." Ning Yi smiled, "In the past, we were either in the northwest or the southwest. We treat it as one thing, and many people have not woken up. After this incident, those who should have reacted have reacted. We will face many enemies like this in the future, and experience needs to be accumulated slowly. And today Lao Dai said that he is a Buddha of ten thousand families, and he wants to save millions of people, and millions of people are willing to let him save it. This is a good thing, and I think we should support it.”

Qin Shaoqian glanced at Ning Yi and laughed: "It's still the same thing as I said before, there are not enough people, you don't want this place..."

"This is one reason." Ning Yi smiled: "The other reason is that when a person of the other party, no matter whether he is not educated, deceived, or for any other reason, he does not agree with you, you You have to keep him in your hands, you can't serve him well. Today we said that we want people in the world to live a good life, so we killed Dai Mengwei and took the territory. Even if they really live better, they won't Will thank you."

Qin Shaoqian nodded: "We'll start again when Lao Dai screwed up. In terms of time and the talent pool you mentioned, it should be enough."

"It's not enough just to mess up, I think this is still a good educational opportunity." Ning Yi smiled and patted Qin Shaoqian on the shoulder, "Today they were instigated by Dai Mengwei and stood in front of us. The rest of them are just Wait and see, anyone can solve the problem. Well, let Lao Dai solve the problems of these millions of people, but in the future, if he can't solve it, we can't say, we will solve it, but guide them When our own people take to the streets, let them speak out their wishes, and when enough people make voices that are contrary to what they are today, we will enter the market again and solve the problem, only in this way can we have the value of solving the problem.”

"...So, next, I will issue an article to refute Lao Dai's statement. We must make it clear that we accept everyone's choice today, but one day in the future, warlords and privileged classes like Lao Dai will take this place The people's livelihood is messed up, but it's none of our business - the hook can stay now." Ning Yi said.

"In terms of approach, Qi Xinhan and Wang Zhainan can divide the work and cooperate to sing white faces and red faces respectively. Those who are arrested by Lao Dai must be released, and some culprits must come. In addition, you occupy such a large area. We must not hinder our trade, and we must discuss the trade agreement. Lao Dai and the officials of the Wu Dynasty are used to making pictures slowly. I think they really hope that there will be peace for a few years. In terms of trade rules and caravan protection, They'll say yes, they'll back down."

Qin Shaoqian nodded: "Once you start doing business, it's hard not to be cut off by you..."

"You can't say that. The Huaxia Army has always done business fairly. Let's make a fortune together..."

The sky at the end of April was full of stars, and the two of them walked while smiling, and after a while, Ning Yi's face became serious: "Actually, the internal and external pressure and changes have already passed, and the future will change." We won the first battle only when it became more complicated. It’s really hard to say what the future will be like..."

"Looking north today, the Kingdom of Jin is divided into two imperial courts, the east and the west. There is a possibility of a fight in the future. Here are two forces. A few days ago, Zhuji sent information that the Mongols who were originally in Xixia went north from Jindi and passed Yanmen Pass. , straight to the cloud, this is the third force..."

Qin Shaoqian frowned: "The group of people you went to Xixia to investigate..."

Ning Yi nodded: "They are aggressive, and they seem to be very organized at present, and their potential should not be underestimated. But it doesn't matter, there are enough people on this stage, and I don't care about one more... King Jin and Miss Lou can be the fourth Power, next, Lao Dai, Liu Guangshi, Wu Qimei, they took advantage of the disintegration of the Wu Dynasty, although it is a bit inexplicable, but here is... five, six, seven..."

"Including us and Junwu, there are nine forces. In addition, there are scattered rebels from all over the country. In the south of the Yangtze River, He Wen is holding our flag. Now it has a certain influence. I think it will be reported at the end of March. According to the news, he wants to set up a 'fair party', the basic idea is to fight the landlords and divide the fields... He heard me say this when he was in the southwest, once he figured out the rules, the momentum will be very big..."

Qin Shaoqian said: "Somewhat similar to Old Niutou?"

"Old Niutou also has a similar idea, but it is limited by me to the northwest of the plain, and there are not many places that can be expanded. After the internal landlords are settled and the land is divided, there are not many ways to expand outward. I hope that in this way, force Let them think about the internal circulation and balance. But He Wen in the south of the Yangtze River, fighting the landlords to divide the land, can drive a group of people to sweep the world, and they will keep repeating this process. If they don't know how to stop, it will become a problem in the future. "

"In this way, with the addition of the old bull head, there are already eleven forces..." Qin Shaoqian laughed, "It's really big trouble, it's five dynasties and ten kingdoms."

"More than that." Ning Yi took out a piece of information from his sleeve, "Let's have a look."

"What's going on..." Qin Shaoqian took a look, "The group of people recruited in Xuzhou..."

"As I said before, our interior is still very fragile. If we relax our thinking problems, there will be big problems. When Liu Chengzong and others went north, these tens of thousands of people couldn't take them over. They had to be placed in the north of the Yangtze River for rest and training. Stay As the leader of a working group, for more than a year, the Quartet has been fighting very hard, and no one can send them over. They even opened up some situations. Unexpectedly..."

……

There is no moon in the sky, and the scroll of stars is as vast as the sea. The two moved forward slowly, and Ning Yi sighed in a low voice.

"...This kind of thing will happen..."

ps: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!
