Chapter 292 - The situation in the world

Because the identity of this burly man was not simple, his name was Fu Xuan, and he was Liu Ze's fellow villager, Liu Ze's sworn brother, and his right-hand man! Liu Ze never thought that the first person to raise doubts would actually be his sworn brother Fu Xuan!

Fu Xuan's martial arts was exceptionally strong, and he was the person with the highest level of martial arts in the allied army of Hebei Province. Even Liu Ze's martial arts could not compare to Fu Xuan's! In the future, this Fu Xuan would also be famous. He was one of the generals of the Yue Clan and would have some merits.

"Brother Fu, I had no choice but to join the Emperor Jianyan!" Liu Ze said.

"Forced? What do we have to do? Emperor Xuanwu once tried to rope us in, why didn't we join them? " Fu Xuan said.

"Brothers, let me tell you the information that I just received!" Liu Ze's gaze left Fu Xuan's face and looked towards the rest of the chieftain of the allied army s below.

"Great leader, just say it!" The chieftain of the allied army s below said.

"Emperor Jianyan has already summoned all of his army to the north, preparing to attack Guan Shan! Shandong Liu Yu was also preparing to lead three hundred thousand strong army to the west to attack Guan Shan! Nvzhen had recently been recruiting in the north, and they were preparing to attack the Guan Shan from the south! All the soldiers and horses in the world were attacking the Guan Shan. Although the Emperor Xuanwu was strong, it was definitely not something they could withstand! The reason I have to rely on the Emperor Jianyan is for the sake of my brothers! Once the Emperor Xuanwu has been annihilated, it is very likely that the Emperor Jianyan and the Emperor Jianyan will live peacefully together. We have pledged our allegiance to the Emperor Jianyan, and at that time, we will also be able to live on in peace! " Liu Ze said.

"Emperor Jianyan and Nvzhen coexist in peace? How is that possible? " Fu Xuan said in disbelief.

"This is real! In the past two years, Emperor Jianyan and Nvzhen have interacted quite a bit. The two families have reached an agreement, from now on, the south will return to the south and the north will return to the north. From today onwards, the north of the Changjiang River will be completely handed over to the Nvzhen! " Liu Ze said.

"If that is the case, what should we do about the people of the Central Plains?" Are the people of the Central Plains just going to be ruled and bullied by the Nvzhen? " Fu Xuan said angrily.

"There's no other way!" Liu Ze said.

"I, Fu Xuan, absolutely cannot accept this! The people of the Central Plains must not allow the foreign races to rule and bully us! " Fu Xuan said coldly.

He turned around and left with large strides!

Seeing Fu Xuan leave, Liu Ze gently frowned. The other dozens of chieftain of the allied army in the room hesitated for a moment, and a few more people followed Fu Xuan and left! At the moment, there were less than ten chieftain of the allied army in the room!

"Let them go if they want to! Sooner or later, they would regret it! After the death of the Emperor Xuanwu, peace will be restored and we will head towards Jiangnan. When we reach Jiangnan, we will enjoy prosperity and no longer have to fear! Let's go, all of you organize your armies, we are preparing to enter the Guan Shan! Emperor Jianyan and Nvzhen have already discussed this with each other. When we head south, Nvzhen will not stop us. " Liu Ze said.

The chieftain of the allied army nodded and went to organize the troops.

After Fu Xuan left, he went back to his own army. After that, he organized his troops and prepared to bring his army away from here! Since he had already fallen out with Liu Ze, he naturally could not continue to stay here.

"Big brother, where are we going now?" A burly man who looked very similar to Fu Xuan came over and asked worriedly.

This man was Fu Xuan's biological brother, his name was Fu Sheng, and he was also a chieftain of the allied army.

"Alright!" Fu Sheng nodded.

After that, the two brothers Fu Xuan and Fu Sheng led their troop to the Taihang Mountains. The chieftain of the allied army s that were following Fu Xuan also brought their respective armies to the Taihang Mountains. The entire Hebei Alliance was split into two parts. One part went to Zhao Gou and was preparing to attack the Guan Shan, while the other part became a part of the Hedong Alliance.

The Guan Shan was desolate, and there were snow everywhere!

About forty miles north of Wu Gong County, there was a small mountain pass.

It was early in the morning, and the sky was still bright. The clouds were still foggy, and it was at this time that the sounds of horses galloping could be heard in the distance.

After hearing the sound of the horse's hooves, the soldiers inside the mountain pass immediately became alert. Immediately, dozens of soldiers came to the top of the mountain pass.

Soon, they saw two figures appear in the distance. Seeing that there were only two of them, the soldiers finally let out a sigh of relief.

The situation of the Guan Shan was extremely tense, they had been engaged in small scale battles throughout the years! Even if the pass in front of them was not far from the Wu Gong County, there would often be some small groups of Nvzhen or army arriving. In these past few years, there had been many battles here!

The two horsemen were getting closer and closer to the pass, and there was already a sound of shouting from the top of the pass!

"We are the staff officers of the Information Services!" Quick, open the door and let us through! " At this moment, the voices of the two cavalrymen could be heard.

"Information Services?" The soldiers at the top of the pass were shocked.

There were only two people below, and they were not worried about any accidents happening. Immediately, someone opened the door and dozens of soldiers surrounded the two riders!

"This is our token!" The two cavalrymen had already taken out their medallions!

This was the Information Services's golden order badge. After seeing the order badge, they no longer doubted their identities!

"Quick, get the war horses, we need to continue forward!" The two riders said.

As they sped along, their warhorses were already exhausted. At that moment, the soldiers in the pass brought their energetic warhorses over, and the two of them rode on top of them once again, heading towards the Wu Gong County.

"Are these people from Information Services doing a lot of activities recently? Did something big happen again? All the armies have started to mobilize, and we have received preparations to fight at any time! " The guard commander was a Academy Officer.

"Maybe so! After being silent for such a long time, it's time for us to shine our swords again. " A vice commander-in-chief said.

The two of them were guessing here, but the two riders were currently heading towards Wu Gong County, and it wasn't until four hours later that they arrived there. After arriving here, they were abnormally exhausted. Although the weather was extremely cold, they were actually drenched in sweat. The clothes underneath were all wet!

After an urgent report, in merely fifteen minutes, they met the person in charge of Information Services, Wang De!

The two of them took out the emergency information from their robes. The emergency information was wrapped in a tarpaulin and immediately, Wang De opened up the information. Inside was a stack of paper, on it were words, a map, and extremely detailed information!

"East Liao Area, the extreme north region, women's army is currently gathering in a large scale. They will be gathered within a month, and is very likely going to head south soon!"

"The ones leading the troops are Fourth Prince's Wan Yanzongbi and Jinguo's Grand Tutor, Wan Yanchang! Wan Yanzongbi did his best to stay in the main battle while Wan Yanchang colluded with Zhao Gou! "

"The Chitans of the East Liao Area are already unable to withstand the pressure, the Chitans of the Shang Jing are rebelling!"

Wang De carefully observed from there, his expression turning more and more serious.

"You two have worked hard. Go and rest first!" Wang De said.

The two soldiers then went to rest, not to mention this.

Wang De gathered the people from the Information Services and analyzed the information together. After carefully classifying the information, he then sent the information to the combat arena.

Two hours later, another two soldiers entered Wang De's room.

This time, the two soldiers brought news of Liu Yu from Shandong, Liu Yu's three hundred thousand fake army had already gathered, and was heading towards the east!

This intelligence report had all sorts of information about Liu Yu's fake army, his morale, etc. It was extremely detailed.

In the afternoon, a report from the Northern Alliance once again arrived.

At dusk, reports came in from the opposing Nvzhen s!

It was already late at night, but the staff was still brightly lit!

Actually, since two months ago, this place had already become a busy place.

Two months ago, the Female Genius and the Emperor Kang had already displayed the momentum of attacking the Guan Shan. At that time, the Staff Council was already formulating a strategy to deal with them!

Of course, in the last two to three years, the staff officer had been preparing a battle plan against the female official and Emperor Kang s, but it was more urgent now!

There were more than ten organizations under the War Office, and all of them were extremely busy!

They came up with different battle plans, and then continued to reject them, constantly improving them in order to make the best possible response!

In addition, the Information Services was constantly sending new information to them, and they would need to change their battle plans based on the new information.

When it was time, the officers of the staff department still had not rested.

In the hall of the battle arena, Curved End, Yu Yunwen, Wang Shu and the rest were all there. Just at this time, Zhao Chen also entered the hall.

Other than them, there were also the heads of various departments in the Information Services.

In the middle of the hall was a huge long table, on the table laid a map of the entire country, including the Western Xia, including the territories occupied by the Nvzhen.

"Your Majesty, the battle plan has been basically finalized! "Only a few details need to be handled!" Zhao Chen came to the front of the map and said.

Zhao Chen nodded, his gaze looking at the gigantic map in front of him.

On the map, there were the arrangements for the troops under his command, the arrangement for the troops of the Nvzhen, the arrangement for the army under the Emperor Kang, as well as the arrangements for the rebel army throughout the country. All of these could not be separated from the Information Services's efforts.

There were three huge arrows on the map. One was pointing straight at Chang'an from the direction of the Wu Gong County, and the other was pointing straight at You Yan from the direction of the Western Xia Yinzhou, and the third was pointing towards the Jiangnan Linan from the direction of the Yuzhou!

"The Nvzhen in the north is ready to make a move, the female army must not be underestimated, we need to send elite troops to attack the female army! We're still discussing who to send north! " Yu Yunwen said.

"Yue Fei is the marshal's talent. We can send him north!" Zhao Chen said.

"General Yue is the best choice! But other than General Yue, he also needed someone else's help! How many men and horses would be needed to head north? This needed to be discussed carefully! Since a month ago, we have already started shipping a large amount of food in the direction of the Western Xia! All the troops who may have gone north have begun to mobilize for the war. " Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen nodded.

"The Guan Shan area is the main battlefield, but in this area, we have to temporarily delay them! In these two years, we have been in contact with Zong Ze, Wang Yan and the others on the other side. Although Zong Ze and Wang Yan didn't agree to rely on us, they still have a certain level of intimacy towards us, and many of the young leaders of the allied armies also have a heart of loyalty towards His Majesty. Your Majesty, we can send people to negotiate with them and temporarily stabilize them! Even if they couldn't negotiate, they still had to focus on defense! The later the Guan Shan battle happens, the better! " Yu Yunwen said.

"I understand! I was thinking about it a few days ago and will send people to Chang An to discuss about the peace with Zong Ze and the rest! " Zhao Chen said.

"Over the past two years, the Staff Council's other important achievement has been to contact Jiangnan Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan! These two were the actual controllers in the Jiangnan Imperial Camp! The commander of the Jiangnan Imperial Camp had always been Wang Yuan. This Wang Yuan did not have much ability, but when he colluded with the eunuchs and received Zhao Gou's favor, he was able to sit in that position! But the entire Jiangnan Imperial Camp was still dissatisfied with Wang Yuan! Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan had already agreed to join His Majesty! They will need our cooperation to overthrow Zhao Gou at any time! " Yu Yunwen said.

"Very good!" Zhao Chen nodded.

Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan were the leaders of the famous "Miao Liu Weapon Transformation" in history! In the Southern Song Dynasty, because Zhao Gou trusted his eunuchs and appointed Wang Yuan, who was a treacherous official, as the commander of the army, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and the other soldiers were dissatisfied, and so they instigated the mutiny! Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan first killed Wang Yuan, the commander of the Managed, then killed the tens of eunuchs whom Zhao Gou trusted. Afterwards, they controlled the entire Lian City, forced Zhao Gou to abdicate, and helped Zhao Gou, who was not even three years old, to succeed the throne. But later on, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and the rest of them joined hands to stop the betrayal, saving Zhao Gou.

The history was different now, Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun were in the northern region of Guan Shan, while Liu Guangshi was in the area of Dongting Lake, where he was fighting against the peasant rebels organized by the white lotus. Furthermore, the environment of the outer sect was completely different, with Zhao Chen there, he would be eyeing Jiang Nan like a tiger, and if the two of them went into battle, Zhao Gou would probably never be able to turn his back!

"We need three sides to use the soldiers! Right now, the enemy forces from the north and Guan Shan were the biggest threat, but the situation in the south was more important! With the Emperor Jianyan in the south, His Majesty would have to go down to the south, with Miao Liu as his inner force, and Wu Jie's hundred thousand water army as his main force. At that time, only His Majesty in Jiangnan would be able to stabilize the situation in Jiangnan with the power of an emperor. The other generals would not be able to do so! When the south of the river was stable, the general situation of the world would be decided! At that time, Zong Ze, Han Shizhong and the rest were all subjects of the Song Dynasty. Since Zhao Gou was dead, they could only surrender to His Majesty and serve him! At that time, only the Jinguo will be left, and it will be useless! " Yu Yunwen said.

"That's right." Zhao Chen nodded again.

"Your majesty, at present, nearly half of Information Services's intelligence personnel are in Linan, they are responsible for contacting and monitoring Jiangnan Imperial Camp! There are many soldiers in the Managed under our control, many of them wrote blood letters of loyalty to the Emperor! Furthermore, our Information Services has already made preparations. If Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and the rest do not cause any trouble in the end, His Majesty would only lead a hundred thousand water soldiers to surround Linan. Under such circumstances, countless of experts in the army of the Information Services would risk their lives to assassinate Zhao Gou! Our Information Services has studied him for two years, and knows his movements and habits like the back of our hands. Many of our soldiers have also snuck into various parts of the Linan now, and some have even become Zhao Gou's bodyguards. Our assassination is definitely more effective than the assassination attempts of the other Jiangnan Martial Lam s, we are 80% sure that we can kill Zhao Gou! Right now, everything in Jiangnan is ready, there's only the east wind left! " Wang De said.

"At the latest, New Year's Eve. I want to see the final plan and execute it immediately! I am also prepared to head south at any time to determine the situation in this world! " Zhao Chen slowly said.
