The wide official road rolled up the yellow dust in the sky. From a distance, a large army that was invisible was rapidly advancing south. From the clothes of the soldiers, it can be seen that they all belonged to the regular army of the Sithro Empire. With such a huge scale, at least one corps, the intention of moving south is unknown.

Su Qin's guess was right. As early as the day before his visit, Sun Yuanhui, who had received news of someone coming to Qingyang, realized that the situation might change in a direction that was unfavorable to him. His elder brother's recent performance also made him quite dissatisfied. First, he strengthened the expansion of the northern Ganlan Fortress, which aroused strong dissatisfaction from his close ally of the Sisro people. He actually pulled the Second Security Division back to the city, but asked his First Security Division to station Ganlan Fortress. This was obviously a distrust of himself, but he had no other way. After all, his elder brother's prestige in Yinchuan Prefecture is far higher than himself. Except for his own security division, he has a certain influence, the officers of the other two security divisions are incompatible with him.

Seeing that his elder brother's physical condition was getting worse, he was still unclear who would take over as the next Chengshou. Especially his recent performance made him feel more that his idea of ​​wanting to be the Chengshou would fail. The Chengshou position is likely to fall into the hands of Zhou Tinggui, who has always played against him. This is something he absolutely cannot tolerate. He has spent a lot of effort on the Chengshou position. At least many government officials have clearly expressed their willingness to support him in the position of Chengshou. It may be that these government officials dominate this issue. In addition to his elder brother's opinions, the opinions of the other two division leaders are also very important. But those two guys are the elder brother's confidants, and the opinions of the elder brother are only followers and cannot do their jobs at all.

But his elder brother turned his elbow out, not considering his feelings at all, and he was willing to give up the position of the city guard to outsiders. How could he be willing to let him be willing? After receiving the support of General Kidman, the commander of the Nuremberg garrison of the Sithro, Sun Yuanhui's heart was settled. With the support of the Sithro people, Sun Yuanhui was very confident that he could get the position of the city guard. After all, he still wrote about the relationship in Yinchuan Prefecture. In addition to his first security division in the army, even if the chief officers of the two divisions opposed him, it was unlikely that they would really fight with their own troops. Moreover, the two division troops also had the power to support themselves. With the support of the Sithro people, once on the right, even if the elder brother did not want to give in, he might not be able to. The only thing he was worried about was how big the influence of the elder brother was among the three divisions, which was also the reason why Sun Yuanhui dared not act rashly.

But from his detailed work in the city, the special envoy of Li Wufeng from the northwest will come to Yinchuan City to visit the city guard. It is said to be visiting the diseased city guard. This news immediately surprised Sun Yuanhui. Recalling the various performances of his elder brother in recent times, Zhou Tinggui, who is in charge of government affairs, is obviously inclined to the Tanghe Empire. Sun Yuanhui dared to conclude that Li Wufeng's special envoy will inevitably be unfavorable to his own affairs. Thinking of this, he did not dare to neglect and sent people to Nuremberg to deliver the news overnight, hoping to get the support of General Kidman. Kidman, who received the news, was overjoyed and immediately led the main force stationed in Nuremberg, the 101st Corps, to go south, and continued to go south after joining with Sun Yuanhui's Yinchuan Prefecture First Security Division at Ganlan Fortress.

"Sir Sun, now it is less than a hundred kilometers away from Yinchuan Prefecture. In another five hours, we can reach the city. Why is there no news from your people?" A cold and fierce look, his beard and halberd are open, and his leopard eyes are always flashing with light that seems to be trying to seize people. He is General Kidman, the commander-in-chief of the Sithro Empire in Nuremberg. He is also a well-known heavyweight in the entire Sithro Empire military. Otherwise, he would not have sent such an important position to serve as the commander.

"General Kidman, you're a little too impatient. We're heading south so fast, I'm afraid that even the people in the city have not received any news. As for my subordinates, please rest assured. Whenever there is any disturbance, they will send someone to contact me immediately." Sun Yuanhui rode forward, pretending to be calm on the surface, but he felt a little uneasy inside. Logically speaking, someone should have reported it. Could something be wrong?

"I hope this is the case. I hope this will be done once and for all this time, and there will be no accidents in the middle." Kidman was not satisfied with Sun Yuanhui's answer, but he could not even ask for instructions from his boss because of the sudden arrival of this military operation. However, he did not even have time to ask his boss for advice. However, the opportunity should not be missed. Even if he took some risks, it would be worth it. If the Yinchuan Mansion could infiltrate, it would be of great help to the empire's southward journey. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Sun Yuanhui, the commander of the Ganlan Fortress who was riding alongside him, who was riding a horse. The request this guy made was just right. If it weren't for the news from his own spies, he even doubted whether the other party had joined forces with Li Wufeng to plot against his side.

In a hurry, Kidman and Sun Yuanhui had to leave about 40,000 infantrymen behind and led the cavalry to quickly move south. As long as they enter Yinchuan Prefecture, Kidman believed that with his existing strength and Sun Yuanhui's influence in Yinchuan Prefecture over the years, he could control the situation. Even if Sun Yuanliang wanted to not give way to Sun Yuanhui, his garrison could be naturally stationed in Yinchuan Prefecture to help Sun Yuanhui stabilize the situation. As for what would happen in the future, who can tell now?

Wu Feng was ecstatic when he received Su Qin's urgent report. It was a great thing to be able to solve the problem of Yinchuan Prefecture in one fell swoop. Not only could it greatly relieve the pressure from the north, but the most important thing was to complete the unification of the northwest from form to essence. This was originally the idea that Wu Feng had always dreamed of. If he could complete his entire battle, it would be of great help to himself in the future and even in the future.

When the Fifth Division received Wu Feng's emergency order, it was already in the border area between Yinchuan and Qingyang. After the sophisticated Long Zixing was reorganized into the Fifth Division of the Northwest Legion, he has been practicing martial arts, trying to increase the combat effectiveness of the troops to a higher level in the shortest time. At the same time, he also hopes that there will be a real war to defend the honor of the Fifth Division. Several other security divisions that were not incorporated into regular army have been dissatisfied, which has added a little more pressure to Long Zixing. Only through a battle can one prove his troops' strength have always been lingering in his heart.

When Wufeng ordered him to lead the Fifth Division into Mangyeyuan and prepare for combat at any time, he keenly noticed the abnormal situation. Although he was on the surface to protect the safety of the Seventeenth Princess of the Empire, a cavalry corps of the Qingyang Security Division were already stationed on the Mangyeyuan. Moreover, although this Mangyeyuan was a nomadic settlement area, these nomadic peoples were all small tribes attached to Wufeng. They were respectful to His Royal Highness and could not win. How could there be danger?

He did not know the diplomatic operation of his upper-level positions, but he was experienced and still vaguely felt that this operation must be aimed at neighbors in the north. He chose between the Mot and Yinchuan Mansions. He and Hillman both targeted the target at Yinchuan Mansions. So as soon as he arrived in Mangye Town, he immediately ordered the scouts to speed up the reconnaissance of the targets in Yinchuan in the north. However, the Yinchuan Mansion seemed surprisingly calm, and even a patrol soldier could not see it, which made him and Hillman puzzled.

After receiving the order, he immediately realized that although he was extremely surprised by how his former mortal enemy suddenly became the object of protection he must protect, the order clearly asked him to protect Sun Yuanliang at all costs, enter and control the situation in Yinchuan City as quickly as possible, and wait for reinforcements from the Third Division to make him realize that there must be deep reasons in this.

At this moment, the situation in Yinchuan Prefecture was already tense and was about to break out. On the night of meeting Su Qin, maybe it was because of some excitement. At the banquet to host a banquet to entertain Su Qin and his party, Sun Yuanliang made an exception and drank two glasses of wine. That night, Sun Yuanliang's condition took a sharp turn and deteriorated rapidly. He was in a coma. The originally stable situation immediately started to storm. The commander of the Second Security Division, who was loyal to Sun Yuanliang, was assassinated in the official residence that night.

The Second Security Division was immediately in a mess, and several regiment commanders with real power refused to give in to each other, and the deputy division commander and chief of staff who did not possess real power were helpless. The Third Security Division immediately split into two factions, and the faction led by division commander Xiang Ge supported Zhou Tinggui and had the strength of three regiments. The faction led by deputy division commander Jiang Qifeng clearly stated that it would support Sun Yuanhui as the defender of Yinchuan Prefecture City, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

The officials of the city guard office were also divided into two factions, and most of them expressed their willingness to obey Zhou Tinggui's orders, but the police chief who held public security power opposed his superiors, the Director of the Interior Affairs Office, and sent police to surround Su Qin and his party in the inn to prohibit Su Qin and his others from entering and leaving.

Looking at Sun Yuanliang who was lying on the bed and was in dying state, Zhou Tinggui also felt a deep sadness in his heart. This strong man who had been traversing northwest for decades could no longer find any trace of his former style. In addition to his slightly ups and downs, he also showed that he was a living person, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like an ordinary old man on the verge of death.

A few coughs woke Zhou Tinggui up from his thoughts. A strange blush appeared on the old man on the bed, his face seemed to be brighter, and his dim old eyes also showed a hint of spirit, but he was even more sad in Zhou Tinggui's eyes. He knew that this was just a reflection of the light. Lord Chengshou might not be able to survive this night.

"Tinggui." Another sharp cough.

"Sir." Zhou Tinggui quickly covered up his sadness and stood up.

"Why is it so noisy outside?" At this moment, Sun Yuanliang even became sensitive to hearing.

"Sir, it's nothing. Maybe some drunk people are making noise there. You should rest with peace of mind." Zhou Tinggui quickly explained.

"Drunk?!" Sun Yuanliang, who was lying on the bed, twitched and sighed sadly: "Tinggui, you don't have to hide it from me. Has something happened?"
