The north wind whistled as the first snow finally fell from the sky!
Amidst the floating snow, a group of troops was coming out of the Dazhang Pass, flying straight ahead!
This group of soldiers and horses first entered the Fengxiang Residence, then stayed here for a few days before they headed towards the east!
From the Fengxiang Residence to the Fu Feng County, from the Fu Feng County to the Wu Gong County, here, the troop of soldiers stopped once again!
A young man was riding on a horse, the horse was extremely sturdy, its entire body was white, and as it walked, it looked down at everyone around it, it was Ye Yi's jade lion horse, and the young man on the horse was Zhao Chen!
"Let's go, we'll take a look at the Wu Gong County!" Yu Yunwen is here, I wonder how the situation is with him. " Zhao Chen got down from the horse and laughed.
Wang Shu came together with Zhao Chen and he immediately dismounted.
Those who followed them were the troops of the Managed, and the soldiers of the Managed all dismounted from their horses and followed Zhao Chen.
Before they even reached the entrance of the Wu Gong County, Yu Yunwen had already brought countless of youths running in through the snow from the county city!
When they saw Zhao Chen, all the youths including Yu Yunwen had fanatically burning expressions, and they all knelt down to pay their respects to Zhao Chen.
"Get up!" Zhao Chen said.
Yu Yunwen and the rest stood up.
"Such a heavy snowfall, let's talk inside the city!" Zhao Chen laughed.
Yu Yunwen nodded his head and quickly followed Zhao Chen into the city.
The young men of Wu Gong County had obviously received the news, before Zhao Chen even arrived at the city gate, more young men ran over to pay their respects to Zhao Chen! When Zhao Chen arrived at Wu Gong County City, the streets of the city were also filled with youths who had heard the news!
"Hurry up and get them all to go back! The weather is very cold, do not stay outside! I want to stay here for a few days, and I'll see them one by one! " Zhao Chen said.
Yu Yunwen nodded his head, he anxiously sent people to pass down his orders, there was no need to mention it.
Zhao Chen, Wang Shu, Yu Yunwen, Kang An and the rest had already entered the County Magistrate's Hall, Zhao Chen sat down, and a young man brought out a cup of hot tea!
"You have been here for more than two months. Have you settled in? Do all young people have a place to live? " Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. All the youths will be safe!" After the destruction of the female city, the losses were great, the number of houses left was huge! There are also countless empty houses in the villages outside of Wu Gong County City. Many villages have already been abandoned, and the young men of Production and Construction Corps live in these empty rooms. A few days ago, I had them prepare firewood. Although it is now snowing heavily, everyone has firewood! " Yu Yunwen said.
"Do you have any difficulties?" Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, we are currently lacking agricultural tools! Although the imperial government has already sent out many farm tools, and we have also found quite a few from the abandoned villages and towns, it is still not enough! In the winter, we wanted to open up a wasteland, but next spring, we would need to sow seeds. It would be impossible for us to do so without farm tools! " Yu Yunwen said.
"Wang Shu, remember this! "In a moment, you will handle this matter in the name of the Military Command!" Zhao Chen said.
Wang Shu nodded and agreed.
"Your Majesty, life here is very difficult. Including me, everyone can only eat half of their fill every day! " Yu Yunwen said again.
"I will have the imperial government try to solve this problem!" However, there was not much food left in the imperial government, so most of it had to be spent on the army! The expansion of the army by 300,000 people this year had consumed too much food! As for the Production and Construction Corps, he might have to endure it! If that doesn't work, then eat the next seed! Next spring, we will find a way to replenish the seed! " Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, this cannot be! It doesn't matter if we starve, but we must not eat the seed! " Yu Yunwen anxiously said.
"This is up to you! Yu Yunwen, let me tell you my bottom line. I will never allow a young man to die from hunger! Therefore, if he couldn't hold on any longer, he had to eat the seed like it was food! If there is a sign of starvation, I will immediately remove your position as the commander and let the others handle the matters of the Wu Gong County, do you understand? " Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. If there really is someone who starves to death, then it would be me, Yu Yunwen, who dies of starvation! "Before I starve to death, I will never let my other brothers starve to death!" Yu Yunwen said.
"You are not allowed to starve to death either!" Zhao Chen laughed.
"Your Majesty, are you only here to inspect the situation in the Production and Construction Corps?" Yu Yunwen asked after a while.
"I still want to go to Chang'an!" Zhao Chen said.
"Is Your Majesty planning to move to the capital?" Yu Yunwen was startled, and immediately asked.
"For the time being, I do not have such an idea! However, in the future, he would definitely move to the capital! After the war, Changan was still too barren and desolate. There weren't many people in the entire city! Furthermore, Chuan Shu doesn't seem to be very stable right now. I won't stay in the capital until Chuan Shu is completely stable! " Zhao Chen said.
"Then why is His Majesty going to Chang'an?" Yu Yunwen asked somewhat curiously.
According to his knowledge, the one million and two hundred thousand Production and Construction Corps s were split into six armies, each consisting of two hundred thousand people. These six armies were divided into the original route, Fengxiang Residence, Yan An, Prefecture, Windraiser, and Martial Arts regions. Hence, he was very curious as to what Zhao Chen was going to Chang An for.
"I don't mind telling you, Nvzhen is restless, but the Military Administration thinks that they might be able to go west, so we are going to Chang An to supervise the battle!" Zhao Chen said.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Yu Yunwen was shocked.
"Your Production and Construction Corps, since you have been crowned as a troop, you are naturally still an army, unlike ordinary citizens! You guys are going to have military training here too, understand? " Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, please be at ease. The two hundred thousand youths in our Wu Gong County have at least two hours of training every day. Some of the youths even train without sleeping at night! We also long to be able to enter the battlefield and fight with the Nvzhen! " Yu Yunwen said.
Zhao Chen smiled and nodded.
After that, Zhao Chen stayed here for five or six days. He went to various villages in the Wu Gong County to visit these youths and only after seeing that everything was normal did he head towards the Chang'an City.
At this moment, on the east side of the Yellow River, the Nvzhen was converging once again!
They were the people of the North, used to fighting in the snow and ice, so every winter was their gathering time!
At the Pu zhou Palace in the southern part of the river, the female true Second Crown Prince Wanyan Zongwang had already arrived here.
After a year of time, Wanyan Loushi had long confirmed the fact that his own son Wan Yanhuonv had been killed! He hated Zhao Chen to the extreme! In addition, this year's Shaanxi s had all been slaughtered. This caused him to hate them to the extreme!
Wanyan Loushi was looking forward to using troops on the Guan Shan everyday, so he did not care about Jiangnan anymore!
Upon hearing that Wanyan Zongwang had arrived, Wanyan Loushi put on his clothes and walked outside in large strides!
Outside the Prefecture City Hall, he saw Wanyan Zongwang!
It was just that there was another Chinese official beside Wanyan Zongwang! This Chinese official looked to be around thirty-six to thirty-seven years old. He was slightly tall, had a square face, and his arms and legs seemed very long. He gave off an abnormally 'upright' feeling! At that moment, the Chinese official who gave off an upright feeling was talking with Wanyan Zongwang!
Seeing this scene, Wanyan Loushi was stunned!
The Nvzhen and the Han Chinese were now enemies. The Nvzhen had captured both of the Han Chinese emperors to the north, and the Nvzhen had never negotiated with the Han Chinese.
"Wo Liyan, quickly come over, I want to introduce you to a friend!" Wanyan Zongwang laughed when he saw Wanyan Loushi.
Wanyan Loushi walked up to greet Wanyan Zongwang. Wanyan Zongwang then pointed at the middle-aged Chinese official who was' upright 'and said: "This is the minister of the Southern Emperor Jianyan, the deputy minister, Qin Gui!"
The Chinese official walked over to Wanyan Loushi and bowed, then said: "This little Qin Gui greets Warranty! I have also stayed in the Huining Mansion for two years, I have long heard of your great name! "
"You are Qin Gui?" Wanyan Loushi was surprised for a moment, and said.
With regards to the name "Qin Gui", Wanyan Loushi had also heard of it before! When the Kaifeng City was still unbroken, Qin Gui was the official in the history of the Song Dynasty, he was a famous person! After the Kaifeng City was broken, the two emperors surrendered to the Nvzhen. Naturally, Qin Gui surrendered along with the two emperors! After that, the two emperors were sent to the and Qin Gui was also sent there! Wanyan Loushi never thought that Qin Gui had actually already returned to Jiangnan and was now even Vice President of Jiang-Nan Zhao Gou!
"That's Xiao Ke!" Qin Gui said.
"When did you return to Jiangnan?" Wanyan Loushi said.
"This autumn, I can return from the north! And then he was appointed as the Deputy Minister! " Qin Gui said.
"What are you doing here?" Wanyan Loushi said coldly.
He had no good impression of the Chinese. The Chinese had killed his son! Although he knew that the Han people of Jiangnan were not the same as the Han people of Guan Shan, he still harbored hatred in his heart!
"Wo Liyan, what's with your tone? Lord Qin came here to negotiate with us! " Wanyan Zongwang said.
"Peace?" Why should we negotiate with the Chinese? " Wanyan Loushi said.
"The young Chinese emperors in the west are getting stronger and stronger. We have to work together to fight the young Chinese emperors in the west, don't you think so?" Wanyan Zongwang said.
"Our Nvzhen is unrivalled in this world. Even the powerful Liao Country was defeated by us, how could a mere little emperor of a Han Dynasty be a match for us? We do not need to negotiate with the Han people in Jiangnan! " Wanyan Loushi said coldly.
The snow was falling heavily, the north wind whistled, Wanyan Zongwang said, "Let's go in first, we can talk slowly."
Wanyan Loushi snorted, the Nvzhen of this era had just entered the Central Plains, they still retained their simple ways! Wanyan Loushi was dissatisfied in his heart. Even if Wanyan Zongwang, the Second Crown Prince, was here, he would still show it! Wanyan Zongwang did not feel that anything was amiss because of this, and he was not angry either. He grabbed Qin Gui's hand, and brought Qin Gui into the mansion!
When they arrived at the mansion, the three of them sat down and Wanyan Zongwang said: "Lord Qin has a good idea. It is called 'Northerner returns to the north, southerner returns to the south'. From today onwards, the Yangtze River is the boundary, but the north of the Yangtze River belongs to our Nvzhen, while the south of the Yangtze River belongs to our Nvzhen! From now on, our two countries will live in peace, and there will be no more wars! I think that's right. Since I've already sent someone to report it to His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely agree to it! "
Wanyan Loushi said in shock: "How could Your Majesty agree? Our goal is to bring down the whole world, not just the north of the Yangtze! "
Wanyan Zongwang laughed: "We have been out for so many years, it's time for our sons to rest!"
Wanyan Loushi frowned: "This general does not agree with that!"
Wanyan Zongwang said: "No matter what, our biggest enemy right now is the west side's Emperor Xuanwu, we have to join hands and annihilate the Emperor Xuanwu! As for the future, we can take care of it slowly! "
Wanyan Loushi coldly snorted, and said: "Fine!"
Qin Gui then opened his mouth, and said: "Second Crown Prince, Warranty, our two families are joining forces, Emperor Xuanwu will definitely not be our match! I heard that your troops are gathering at a large scale and will be advancing westward. We will cooperate with you! "
Wanyan Loushi laughed coldly: "The Guan Shan is blocked by the Tongguan, we do not know if we can take him down yet! Even with your help, they might not be able to win! Furthermore, I don't think you can openly cooperate with us, or else you Chinese people in Jiangnan would not agree! "
Qin Gui laughed, his face always giving off an abnormal "upright" feeling, even when he was smiling it was the same, he only heard him say: "Why do we need to enter the Guan Shan from the Tongguan?"
Wanyan Loushi said: "If we do not enter from the Tongguan, then where do we enter the Guan Shan?"
Qin Gui said: "Other than the Tongguan s, there is also the Dragon Gate!"
Wanyan Loushi was startled, and said: "Dragon Gate?"
Qin Gui said: "That's right! In the end of the Sui Dynasty, when the world was in chaos, Tang Gao's ancestor, Li Yuan, had started his army from Taiyuan and had gone all the way south, taking down half of the river east! After that, he would cross the Yellow River from the Dragon Gate and take his Changan! Other than the Tongguan s, this dragon gate is also a way to enter! "
Wanyan Loushi said: "Really?"
Qin Gui laughed, "Of course it's true! When the time comes, your army will cross the river from the Dragon Gate, all the way to the west, and no one will be able to stop you! Emperor Jianyan had already had two generals, Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi lead two hundred thousand strong army to the north. They would seize the opportunity to attack Tongguan! After that, our two armies can occupy the entire Guan Shan! Then we can discuss the division of the world! "
Wanyan Loushi fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he looked at Qin Gui and said: "You Han people and our Nvzhen are mortal enemies, I do not believe that you will cooperate with us!"
Qin Gui said, "To Emperor Jianyan, the threat posed by the Emperor Xuanwu is even greater! We have to eliminate the Emperor Xuanwu first! "
Wanyan Loushi frowned, then looked towards Wanyan Zongwang. Wanyan Zongwang nodded to him, and he relaxed!
"When are we going to move?" Wanyan Loushi said.
"Wait until New Year's Eve! New Year's Eve is a holiday that must be passed by us Han Chinese, even if it is in the military, there is still New Year's Eve, and that must be when we relax the most! If you cross the river on New Year's Eve, the Emperor Xuanwu will definitely not be on guard! " Qin Gui said.
