set. "

Shen Changhe sneered, and wanted to stand up again, but was pushed back by two ninjas behind him, and a deep wound was drawn on his neck, which made the corner of his eye twitch violently: "You think this general announced to the world I tried the smallpox vaccine myself, so I can’t die, and I dare not die, right? I’ll tell you Misaki Ito, you can kill me right now, but if you let me be a traitor and traitor to the Qin Dynasty, go ahead and dream. , the Southwest will not collapse!"

There are few good things in this world that are icing on the cake and double happiness. Most of them are just making things worse and making things worse.With the Southwestern General detained forcibly by Gaochang and the dragons without a leader, the Baiyue countries in the southern border are ready to move. The rulers of the Baiyue countries headed by Dingbei King Xian Pu contacted Sheng Qi, a rebel general of the Southwest Military Government, and came to a war that they thought was very strange. The shrewd "attack from inside and outside" took advantage of the fire.

But neither Xian Pu nor Sheng Qi expected that Li Yunling had already sent someone to monitor Sheng Qi's every move, and the military government was well aware of their collusion and conspiracy, so they were well prepared.Seeing that Sheng Qi was arrested, the cautious Dingbei King Xian Pu immediately withdrew his army from the Xipu border overnight, but it was still a step too late, and finally was blocked by the local garrison general Chu Beichen who was in ambush. A general was captured.

Li Yunling was overjoyed when he learned of this, and immediately interrogated this person himself.Although the captured Baiyue General was stubborn, Li Yunling was not a soft-hearted person.In less than half a day, a tough guy with strong bones was tossed and deformed.Fortunately, her efforts were not in vain, the general finally spit out two names——

After hearing these two names, Li Yunling was completely silent.Zhang Jianzhi on the side asked curiously, "Who is it?"

"...Let's put it back first, and we'll discuss this matter when the general returns." Li Yunling sighed solemnly, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Brother Jian, please write a telegram to the central government right away." The * government truthfully reported the fact that Baiyue invaded the Southwest, and at the same time asked the government for money and relief supplies, saying that the Southwest was in trouble inside and outside, and asking for support."

Zhang Jianzhi nodded and left the meeting room without saying a word.It wasn't until this time that the adjutant Zhang Mu asked suspiciously: "In recent years, our Southwest has developed very fast, and there is no shortage of money or people at all. The Central Plains is still plagued by plague. At this juncture, we can keep up with Beijing and ask for money and goods. People can't afford it." hate us?"

"Heh, do you think that if you don't ask them for money, they won't harbor ill-will towards the Southwest?" Li Yunling explained, "The more critical you are, the more you have to ask the government for money. Not only do you want it, you have to do it with great fanfare , In this way, the public will know how difficult our Southwest is, the situation of refugees punching cards will be eased, and the government's wariness against the military government will be slightly lowered, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

"...Okay, Miss Li, I will treat you with admiration for three days, the boss really saw you right!" Zhang Mu scratched his head, and asked again: "I have been worried about one thing, although the boss is considered Gaochang The emperor's relatives, but they are also enemies after all, will the little Gaochang emperor..."

"He's very smart, don't worry."

"But I always feel uneasy!" Zhang Mu said with a sad face, "I have had nightmares every day these days, and I can always dream that the boss died unexpectedly, and then break out in a cold sweat. Ms. Li, can you explain to me, What will happen to the boss?"

"Then I'll tell the truth." Li Yunling pondered: "It's not inevitable that we won the battle with Gaochang, but with the help of the right time, favorable location, and harmonious people. Zhang Mu, I know you don't care about and don't understand these things, but this For a while, the war in the Northwest has weighed on my heart like a big rock... You don't know what a dangerous move Shen Changhe made! The Northwest regained the lost ground, and the Southwest defended the enemy from the gate of the country. The military government is actually two He wants to take care of both front-line operations and the rampant plague, so he will use domestic public opinion to put pressure on Beijing, and at the same time mobilize new bombers from the secret military base at the junction of the southwest and northwest—those planes are all imported from Yalika. You don’t have the technology to manufacture your own aircraft! Zhang Mu, do you know what this means?”

"—This means that we have shown all our cards to Shangjing."

Zhang Mu murmured, "So what? Let's negotiate with the Gaochang people and let them..."

"Let them let the general go? Do you think there is such a possibility?!" Li Yunling gritted his teeth and shouted: "In the current situation, even if we see him die in the hands of Gaochang people, we have to deal with it! No matter what the cost Keep the southwest, and at the same time take advantage of the victory to take the northwest region that has been actually controlled by our southwest military government—as for the general, at worst, I will collect his body, and then slaughter the entire Gaochang to avenge him! Otherwise, when the war ends, it will be When the Southwest Military Government fell!"

Zhang Mu was shocked when he heard that.After a while, he finally said as if sleepwalking: "Boss, he saved you, Miss Li. What's more, he, he..."

"He what? He hesitated." Li Yunling frowned and said, "Why don't I remember the general's kindness? But since the general handed over Southwest to me, if I go against his will, I will really disappoint him."

"you--!"

Zhang Mu was stunned by her words, and it took him a long time to find his own voice: "Okay, okay! If you don't go to rescue, I will! You, don't you want to take back the Northwest Region? Let me go!"

For the people of Gaochang at this time, the war with Qin has turned from a big joke to a big tragedy.

In this battle, Gao Chang's defeat was inexplicable and extremely useless.So many soldiers and civilians died, and in the end they had to pay 3000 million taels of silver to the Qin State; they thought that if they captured the leader of the Southwest Military Government, they would be able to make the Yunnan Army withdraw, but the latter ignored them at all, as if nothing had happened Similarly, after taking the text of the treaty and the 3000 million taels of checks, there was no more nonsense, and no matters related to important people were submitted, leaving the necessary guards and retreating to the northwest inland, all the way east, and left in the dust.

Farhad began to feel embarrassed.

In this way, on the one hand, he was unable to explain to the people, and on the other hand, he had no way to recruit Shen Changhe: Recently, many Gaochang citizens wrote to the court, demanding that the enemy chieftain Shen Changhe be severely punished, and that he be burned to death to comfort the dead. .

"Uncle Shen." Facing Shen Changhe's increasingly pale face for three consecutive days, Farhad was almost crying: "Just eat something. If this continues, no one will be able to hold on. "

"Let me go, or kill me." Shen Changhe "looked" at the sky outside the window absently, his expression indifferent like a puppet.Farhad opened his mouth, then lowered his eyes again: "Uncle, no matter what, you should eat something first, how could my nephew kill you? I..."

"Get out."

"uncle……"

Shen Changhe closed his eyes again, but his tone became more and more cruel: "Get lost!"

Farhad was so angry that his teeth ached, but he had no choice but to back out.After closing the door, he said to his personal guard: "It's really not possible, call aunt to persuade him."

When the Southwest military government fell into the predicament of fighting on two fronts, the situation in Beijing also underwent extremely subtle changes.Maybe it's because of his age, or maybe it's because the weather is too cold, the health of President Chen Wu is deteriorating.Undercurrents are surging within the reform government. Lin Xuehuai, the "imperial" successor and head of the National Assembly, seems to be "popular", but another powerful competitor has gradually surfaced——

Chen Xining, the principal of the Daqin Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy and the commander-in-chief of the Shangjing Military Region.

Originally, this person was nothing special: he just had the experience of studying in Japan for two years and five or six years in the military.Such qualifications are incomparable to Lin Xuehuai, but he has another layer of identity:

The second son of the President and the younger brother of Chen Qiming, the former Minister of Military Police.

Quite different from Chen Qiming, Chen Xining was usually very low-key and humble, acted steadily and calmly.Compared with Lin Xuehuai, a bookish idealist, he is more pragmatic and able to do practical things, so in recent years, he has gained considerable prestige both in the military and in the political arena.

"It's just one thing that's strange," Ma Jinwen, the current Minister of the Military Police, said in the office of the Chief of Parliament with doubts on his face, "He is obviously his own son, but President Chen seems to regard him as a stranger, and the relationship between father and son is not ordinary. "

"The president has his own considerations. Besides, if it's a fair competition, I will admit whether I win or lose." Lin Xue reviewed the official document without raising her head, and said, "As long as it is beneficial to the country, I don't care."

"But Shen Changhe..."

"He? He's in prison, what's there to worry about."

"There is news from Gaochang that he has been 'naturalized'." Ma Jinwen said worriedly: "Shen Changhe has always been at odds with you, if he betrays Daqin this time and becomes the new leader of Gaochang, he will be one of the most powerful figures in the Western Regions , if we get together with Chen Xining again at this juncture, it will be bad."

"What did you say?"

Lin Xuehuai's pupils shrank suddenly, and she shouted: "He betrayed? Has this been confirmed?"

"Not yet." Ma Jinwen said: "It's just a rumor. Li Yunling, the governor of the Southwest Military Government, has publicly called out from the air, asking Gao Chang to announce the status of the general."

"What did Gao Chang say?"

"Gaochang Palace didn't respond at all, and kept pretending to be deaf and dumb."

"This matter is indeed a bit strange." Lin Xuehuai touched her nose thoughtfully: "After the enemy general is captured, a normal person's reaction should be
