The north wind howled, and the first snow finally fell from the sky!

Amidst the fluttering heavy snow, a group of soldiers and horses are coming out of Dasan Pass, heading forward all the way!

This group of soldiers and horses first came to Fengxiang Mansion, and after staying here for a few days, they headed east!

From Fengxiang Mansion to Fufeng County, from Fufeng County to Wugong County, here, this team of soldiers and horses stopped again!

A young man is riding on a horse. This horse is unusually majestic, covered in snow, walking in the procession and staring at all directions. It is the Zhaoyeyu Lion Horse. The young man on the horse is naturally Zhao Chen!

"Let's go, let's go to Wugong County to have a look! Yu Yunwen is here, I don't know what's going on with him here." Zhao Chen got off his horse and said with a smile.

Wang Shu came with Zhao Chen, and he also got off his horse.

It was the officers and soldiers of the imperial camp who followed them, and these officers and soldiers of the imperial camp also got off their horses one after another and followed Zhao Chen forward.

Before they arrived at the gate of Wugong County, Yu Yunwen had already brought countless young people running over from the county town in the snow!

When they saw Zhao Chen, the young people including Yu Yunwen showed fanatic expressions in their eyes, and they knelt on the ground one after another to see Zhao Chen.

"Get up!" Zhao Chen said.

Only then did Yu Yunwen and the others stand up.

"It's snowing so much, let's go into the city to talk!" Zhao Chen laughed.

Yu Yunwen nodded, and hurriedly followed Zhao Chen into the city.

The youths in Wugong County have obviously gotten the news that before Zhao Chen came to the city gate, many young people came to pay homage to Zhao Chen! After Zhao Chen came to Wugong County, the streets in the city were full of young people who heard the news!

"Let them all go back quickly! It's very cold, don't stay outside anymore! I'm going to stay here for a few days, and I'll meet them one by one!" Zhao Chen said.

Yu Yunwen nodded, and hurriedly sent someone to convey Zhao Chen's order, not to mention that.

Zhao Chen, Wang Shu, Yu Yunwen, Kang An and others have entered the county government office at this moment, Zhao Chen has already sat down, and a young man outside brought hot tea!

"You have been here for more than two months. Have you settled down now? Do all the young people have a place to live?" Zhao Chen asked.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, all young people live in peace! After the Jurchen ravages in Wugong County, the population has suffered a heavy loss, and there are a lot of houses left here! There are also countless vacant houses in the villages and towns outside Wugong County, and many villages have been destroyed. It was completely abandoned, and now the youths of our Production and Construction Corps are living in these vacant houses! A few days ago, I asked them to prepare firewood, and even though it is snowing heavily, everyone has firewood to burn!" Yu Yunwen said.

"Do you have any difficulties?" Zhao Chen asked.

"Your Majesty, we are short of farm tools now! Although the imperial court has distributed many farm tools, and we have found a lot of farm tools from those abandoned villages and towns, they are still not enough! We want to open up wasteland in winter, and wait until next spring. In time, we need to sow seeds, and we can’t do without farm tools!” Yu Yunwen said.

"Wang Shu, write it down! You will handle this matter in the name of the Military Aircraft Department!" Zhao Chen said.

Wang Shu nodded and agreed.

"Your Majesty, the life here is very hard, and you often don't have enough to eat! Everyone, including me, can only eat half full every day!" Yu Yunwen said again.

"I will let the imperial court solve this problem as much as possible! However, the imperial court's food reserves are running out, and most of these food reserves will be used by the army! This year, the army will expand by 300,000 people, and the food consumption is too much! As for the Production and Construction Corps, Maybe you have to be patient! If it doesn’t work, you can eat the distributed seeds! Next spring, we will find a way to replenish the seeds!” Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible! It doesn't matter if we are hungry, but we must not eat the seeds!" Yu Yunwen said hastily.

"It's up to you! Yu Yunwen, let me tell you my bottom line, I will never allow a young man to die of hunger! Therefore, if you really can't support it, you must eat the seeds as food! If there is A phenomenon of people starving to death, I will immediately withdraw your position as army commander and let other people be in charge of the Wugong County Production and Construction Corps, do you understand?" Zhao Chen said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, if someone really starves to death, it will be me, Yu Yunwen, who will starve to death! Before I starve to death, I will never let other brothers starve to death!" Yu Yunwen said.

"You are not allowed to starve to death!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"Your Majesty, are you just here to inspect the situation of the Production and Construction Corps?" After a while, Yu Yunwen asked again.

"I still want to go to Chang'an!" Zhao Chen said.

"Does Your Majesty want to move the capital to Chang'an?" Yu Yunwen was taken aback and asked immediately.

"I don't have such an idea yet! But in the future, the capital must be moved to Chang'an! After the war, Chang'an is still too barren and desolate, and there is not much population in Chang'an! Moreover, Sichuan and Shu seem to be unstable now, and Sichuan and Shu are completely stable. Before, I would not move the capital to Chang'an!" Zhao Chen said.

"Then what is your Majesty going to do in Chang'an?" Yu Yunwen asked curiously.

As far as he knows, the 1.2 million production and construction corps are now divided into six armies, each with 200,000 soldiers. These six armies are distributed in Jingyuan Road, Fengxiang Mansion, Yan'an, Fuzhou, Fufeng, Among the six areas of martial arts, as for the Chang'an area, there is no distribution of youths from the Production and Construction Corps. So he was very curious about what Zhao Chen would do in Chang'an.

"It's okay to tell you, the Jurchens are ready to move, and the Military Aircraft Department judges that they are likely to go west, so I'm going to Chang'an to supervise the battle!" Zhao Chen said.

"Ah!" Yu Yunwen was taken aback.

"Since your Production and Construction Corps is called the Corps, it is naturally an army, which is different from ordinary people! You also have to conduct military training here, understand?" Zhao Chen said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the 200,000 young people in our Wugong County have at least one hour of training every day, and some young people even train without sleeping at night! We are also eager to go to the battlefield and fight the Jurchens!" Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen nodded with a smile.

Afterwards, Zhao Chen stayed here for five or six days. He came to the villages in Wugong County to visit those young people. After seeing that everything was normal, he went to Chang'an City.

*** ***

At this moment, in the Hedong area opposite the Yellow River, the Jurchens are gathering again in large numbers!

They are a northern nation, accustomed to fighting in the ice and snow, so every winter is the time for them to gather!

In the Puzhou Mansion in the south of the river river, Wanyan Zongwang, the second prince of Jurchen, has arrived here, and Wanyan Loushi is also here!

After a year, Wanyan Loushi has already affirmed the news that his son Wanyan's living daughter was killed! He hated Zhao Chen extremely! In addition, the Jurchens in northern Shaanxi were also slaughtered this year, which made him hate it to the extreme!

Wanyan Loushi is looking forward to using troops against Guanshan every day, but he doesn't care about Jiangnan anymore!

Hearing Wanyan Zongwang's arrival, Wanyan Loushi put on his clothes and strode outside!

Outside the government office in Puzhou, he met Wanyan Zongwang!

It's just that there is a Han official next to Wanyan Zongwang! This Han official looked to be thirty-six or seventeen years old. He was slightly tall, with a square face, and his hands and legs seemed to be very long. He gave off an unusually "righteous" feeling! At this moment, this honest Han official is talking to Wanyan Zongwang!

Seeing this scene, Wanyan Loushi froze there!

The Jurchens and the Han people are now big enemies. The Jurchens have captured the two emperors of the Han people to the north. The Jurchens have never negotiated with the Han people, but why are Han officials here now!

"Woliyan, come here quickly, I'll introduce you to a friend!" Wanyan Zongwang laughed when he saw Wanyan Loushi.

Wanyan Loushi stepped forward, first to see Wanyan Zongwang, and saw Wanyan Zongwang pointing to the "upright" middle-aged Han official, saying: "This one is the minister of Jiangnan Jianyan Emperor, Deputy Prime Minister Qin Hui!"

The Han official came forward to salute Wanyan Loushi, neither humble nor overbearing, and said: "Xiao Ke, Qin Hui has seen General Wanyan! Xiao Ke also stayed in Huining Mansion for two years, and he has admired the name of General Wanyan for a long time. !"

"You are Qin Hui?" Wanyan Loushi was stunned and said.

Wanyan Loushi had also heard of the name "Qin Hui" before! Before Kaifeng City was breached, Qin Hui was the imperial censor Zhongcheng of the Song Dynasty, and he was a well-known figure! After the city of Kaifeng was broken, the two emperors surrendered to the Jurchens, and Qin Hui naturally surrendered with the two emperors! Afterwards, the two emperors were sent to Huining Mansion, the capital of the Kingdom of Jin, and Qin Hui was also sent there! Wanyan Loushi did not expect Qin Hui to have returned to Jiangnan, and now he is still the deputy prime minister of Jiangnan Zhao Gou!

"It's Xiao Ke!" Qin Hui said.

"When did you return to Jiangnan?" Wanyan Lou Shi asked.

"This autumn, Xiao Ke returned from the north! He was appointed as the deputy prime minister afterward!" Qin Hui said.

"What are you doing here?" Wanyan Lou asked coldly.

He didn't like the Han people, and the Han people killed his son! Although he also knows that the Han people in Jiangnan and the Han people in Guanshan are not the same, but he has the same hatred in his heart!

"Woriyan, what tone are you talking about? Lord Qin came here to discuss peace with us!" Wanyan Zongwang said.

"Negotiate peace? Why do we need to negotiate peace with the Han people?" Wanyan Lou said.

"The little Han emperor in the west is getting stronger and stronger, we have to join forces to deal with the little Han emperor in the west, do you think this makes sense?" Wanyan Zongwang said.

"We Jurchens are invincible in all over the world. The mighty Liao Kingdom was defeated by us back then, let alone the little Han emperor? We don't need to negotiate peace with the Han people in Jiangnan!" Wanyan Loushi said coldly.

It was snowing heavily and the north wind was howling, Wanyan Zongwang said, "Let's go in first and talk slowly!"

Wanyan Loushi snorted coldly, the Jurchens had just entered the Central Plains in this era, and they still kept their simple style! Wanyan Loushi was dissatisfied, even though Wanyan Zongwang, the second prince, was here, he still showed it! But Wanyan Zongwang didn't feel that there was anything wrong because of this, nor was he angry, he took Qin Hui's hand and brought Qin Hui into the government office!

*** ***

When they came to the government office, the three of them sat down, and Wanyan Zongwang said: "Master Qin proposed a good idea called 'Northern people return to the North, and South people return to the South'. From now on, the Yangtze River will be the boundary, and the Yangtze River will The north belongs to our Jurchens, and the south of the Yangtze River belongs to Emperor Jianyan! From now on, our two countries will live in peace and will never fight again! I think it’s good, I’ve asked someone to report it to His Majesty, and His Majesty will definitely agree!"

Wanyan Loushi said in amazement: "How could Your Majesty agree? Our goal is to conquer the whole world, not just the north of the Yangtze River!"

Wanyan Zongwang smiled and said: "We have been fighting for many years, now you should rest!"

Wanyan Loushi frowned and said, "The final general disagrees with such an approach!"

Wanyan Zongwang said: "Anyway, now our enemy is Emperor Xuanwu in the west, we have to work together to eliminate Emperor Xuanwu! As for the future, we can deal with it slowly!"

Wanyan Loushi snorted coldly and said, "Okay!"

Only then did Qin Hui speak, and said: "Second prince, General Wanyan, if we join forces, Emperor Xuanwu is definitely not our opponent! I heard that your army is gathering in large numbers and is about to march westward. We will cooperate with you!"

Wanyan Loushi sneered and said, "Tongguan is in the way of Guanshan, and we don't know if we can take Tongguan down! Even with your help, we may not be able to take it down! Moreover, I don't think you can cooperate with us openly, otherwise you The Han people in the south of the Yangtze River did not agree!"

Qin Hui smiled, his face always gave people an unusually "upright" feeling, even when he was smiling, he only heard him say: "Why do we need to enter Guanshan from Tongguan?"

Wanyan Loushi said: "If you don't go from Tongguan, then where do you enter Guanshan?"

Qin Hui said: "In addition to Tongguan, there is also Longmen!"

Wanyan Loushi was taken aback, and said, "Longmen?"

Qin Hui said: "That's right! At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Tang Gaozu Li Yuan raised troops from Taiyuan, went all the way south, and captured half of the east of the river! After that, he crossed the Yellow River from Longmen and went straight to Chang'an! Apart from Tongguan, this Longmen is also an entry point. Off the road!"

Wan Yan Lou Shi said: "Really?"

Qin Hui smiled and said: "Of course it is true! At that time, your army will cross the river from Longmen and head west, and no one can stop it! His Majesty Jianyan has also ordered two generals Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi to lead an army of 200,000 to the north. We will take the opportunity to attack Tongguan! After that, our two armies can occupy the entire Guanshan! Then we can discuss dividing the world!"

Wanyan Loushi fell into deep thought. After a long while, he looked at Qin Hui and said, "You Han people and our Jurchens are big enemies. I don't believe you will cooperate with us!"

Qin Hui said: "For His Majesty Jianyan, Emperor Xuanwu is a greater threat! We must first eliminate Emperor Xuanwu!"

Wanyan Loushi frowned, then looked at Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongwang nodded at him, and then he was relieved!

"When will we mobilize troops?" Wanyan Lou Shi asked.

"Wait until New Year's Eve! New Year's Eve is a must-have festival for us Han people. Even the army has New Year's Eve. That time must be the most relaxed time! Crossing the river on New Year's Eve, Emperor Xuanwu must have not been on guard!" Qin Hui said.
