Duan Xiaodong smiled and said, "Great Commander, when we attacked Lizhi last time, our Lion Ben Army and the Lion City Army were called the Northern Expedition Alliance. This time, our Lion Ben Army and the Lion Yan Army should also consider giving our coalition a famous name?"

"What Marshal Duan said is reasonable and needs a well-known name. What kind of coalition should be called?" Xu Youzhi said as he wished New Year's greetings and frowned.

During the Lion and Little Li Battle, the Lion City Army and the Lion Ben Army went to the north to attack the invaders, so it was natural to call the Northern Expedition Alliance. Now that we want to attack Xiangmei, we cannot call the Southern Expedition Alliance or the Southern Expedition Alliance.

If you follow the local customs and take a name like Xiangmei, like Xiangmei, the enemy's army in the west, it will not only be second-class, but also ironic, and even more inappropriate.

So, Jiang Lie thought of the Liaoyuan Battle and wanted to name the coalition forces the Liaoyuan Alliance. However, after thinking about it, Jiang Lie still thought that the name of the Liaoyuan Alliance was inappropriate. After all, Liaoyuan has the meaning of "no grass grows", and the task of their coalition forces was only to seize the Xiangmei regime, rather than sweeping the Xiangmei Kingdom.

After thinking about it over and over again, Jiang Lie hesitated and said: "Grand Commander, I have an idea for humble officials, that is... I think it may be called the 'Spark Alliance'. I wonder what you are thinking?"

Xu Youzhi's eyes lit up: "Star Fire Alliance? This name is quite new. I wonder why General Jiang gave this name?"

Jiang Lie explained seriously: "Spark fire can burn the prairie. Back then, when my Lion Flame Army fought the battle to fight against the Xiangshui and aid Qiu in the country, my Lion Flame Army named the decisive battle of the target army Liaoyuan War. I think the Liaoyuan Alliance is a good name, but our coalition forces do not need to cause too much trouble and do not need to form a prairie fire. We only need sparks to achieve our goal, and sparks also sound more gentle than Liaoyuan, and fire also has a little light, so I think we can name our coalition forces Sparkie Alliance. Of course, this is just my personal idea."

"I think the name of the Star Fire Alliance is very good, I agree. Do you have any other ideas?" Xu Youzhi said with a smile.

Duan Xiaodong exclaimed: "I also think the Starfire Alliance is good. The word Starfire does not sound like it has no lethality, but it contains great power. I also agree with the Starfire Alliance!"

Xu Youzhi nodded and said, "If you don't have any other opinions, then name the Lion Flame Lion Ben coalition Army as the Starfire Alliance!"

Immediately afterwards, Xu Youzhi organized the generals to hold a meeting for nearly half an hour. After the meeting, only Jiang Lie, Duan Xiaodong and Xu Youzhi were left in the conference hall of the Ministry of War.

The solemn atmosphere gradually relaxed.

Jiang Lie crossed his legs regardless of his image: "Damn it, there is no one else here. I have to say something sincere and not speak up. No matter how well this war is packaged, it is ultimately an invading war, and I am an invader. I don't want to fight from the bottom of my heart."

Duan Xiaodong sat next to Jiang Lie and said earnestly: "As a soldier, there is nothing he wants to fight or doesn't want to fight. He only needs to fight or shouldn't fight. War is not about marrying a wife. If he marryes a wife, the matchmaker cannot decide both men and women. Both parties must be willing, one must want to marry and the other must want to marry. But the military order is not the words of the matchmaker, not that we can control, not that we don't want to fight if we don't want to fight."

As he said that, Duan Xiaodong couldn't help but sigh and said, "To be honest, I don't want to fight this kind of war, because I don't think it's necessary, but I think it's useless. The emperor thinks it's necessary. Anyway, since we have to fight, we have to think about it better. We have to think like this. Emperor Xiangmei is not a good bird. He killed many innocent people in the Qiusi Kingdom, and killed many soldiers who did not need to die on the battlefield in Xiangmei Kingdom, and destroyed many families and broken down. We do not provoke innocent people, do not confront the Xiangmei army head-on, and take the capital directly to Emperor Xiangmei. Our goal is like this, then we cannot be considered invasion, we are going to eliminate harm for the people."

Jiang Lie chewed Duan Xiaodong's speech carefully and said with a smile: "Listen to you is better than reading for ten years. Yes, our Divine Lion Army is a righteous army and cannot do things that destroy peace. We are going to eliminate harm for the people. Indeed, Emperor Xiangmei is not a good bird, he should suffer retribution. If I think about this, I feel much more at ease."

"Before convinced the enemy, you must first convince yourself. This kind of battle that does not aim to kill the enemy is the most difficult to fight. This is a big test, test you, test me, and test our Spark Alliance." Duan Xiaodong said with a smile.

Jiang Lie stretched out a fist: "I believe our Spark Alliance can withstand this test and complete the task smoothly."

Duan Xiaodong also stretched out his fist and collided with Jiang Lie's fist: "It must go smoothly!"

Xu Youzhi walked over with a smile, stretched out his fist and collided with three punches: "In the next six months, let us work together and prepare for the battle!"

In the next few days, Jiang Lie went between the Lion Flame Army's headquarters and the six tribes from morning to night, and only returned to Jiang Mansion to rest in the middle of the night.

A few days later, Jiang Lie realized that the seventh day of Einxiang had passed and that the funeral should have been completed, so he changed into casual clothes, put on his luggage, and set off to ride his horse to Shinan.

After many days, Jiang Lie came to the familiar thatched hut again that afternoon.

Jiang Yiyan had a white linen tied to her head and was cleaning the yard.

"Yiyan." Jiang Lie entered the yard and greeted Jiang Yiyan.

Jiang Yiyan stopped the work at hand and stared at Jiang Lie: "You are here so quickly? Have you figured out a solution?"

"I've thought about it and I'll take you to Jiang Mansion." Jiang Lie went straight to the point without hesitation.

Jiang Yiyan frowned: "Really and false? What a weird thing, your princess wife has no objection?"

Jiang Lie nodded firmly and said, "It's true, no objection. But I'll tell you in advance that what she is about you depends on what you are about her. As long as you treat her as a family member, she will naturally treat you as a family member. If you want to treat her as an enemy, she will also treat your local enemy. So, don't treat her as a princess, let alone treat her as a villain, but treat her as her dearest family member. In this way, our Jiang Mansion will ensure a happy and harmonious life."

Jiang Yiyan snorted coldly and said, "Her attitude towards me depends on my attitude towards her, right? She never thought that my attitude towards her also depends on her attitude towards me. She would better give me some good looks, and would better not play tricks with me."

"Oh, Yiyan, you can't trust anyone, but you can't trust your father, you can't trust your father's wife, right?" Jiang Lie approached Jiang Yiyan, squatted down, and said softly, "Nan'er won't treat you badly, just don't worry."

Jiang Yiyan just smiled coldly: "If I live in your house, I will inevitably need to say hello to your wife, what should I call her?"

Title is really a question worth pondering.
