Jin land.

It was late at night, and the pitch-black darkness blocked Yan Laoxi's vision, but even so, the solemnity between his brows could not be concealed.

Ever since he learned that a war had broken out between Beidingyuan and Shanweipo, he had been so worried that he could hardly sleep all night.

Looking up, Yan Laoxi saw a starless night. He sighed, tightened his coat, and was about to turn over and go to sleep.

Just a burst of hurried footsteps made Yan Laoxi's face suddenly grim, and all sleepiness disappeared instantly.

"News from the Northeast?" Yan Laoxi said with a serious expression.

"It's related. It's the latest newspaper in Shancheng, sent back by intelligence personnel overnight." Zhao Songshan looked serious and handed over the newspaper in his hand.

"Mountain City..."

Yan Laoxi frowned, took the newspaper handed to him by Zhao Songshan, and read it with a serious expression. The title of the newspaper took up a lot of space and could be seen at a glance.

'The Yunnan-Burma crisis, the country's crisis...'

After hearing these few simple words, Yan Laoxi frowned even tighter and his expression suddenly became serious. But after a slight hesitation, he suddenly slammed his hand on the table, and his face turned red.

"There's something wrong with the previous report on Shancheng!" Yan Laoxi's face was filled with rage, and his hands were shaking.

At this moment, he understood what Shancheng was thinking, but Yan Laoxi really couldn't control his anger at Shancheng's actions.

"Commander, Shancheng wants to..." Zhao Songshan frowned, his eyes seemed to understand, but also puzzled.

"Shancheng Xiangmin carries the righteousness and stands on the commanding heights. It is obvious that he wants to mobilize the Tiger Brigade for an expedition and keep it out of the country." Yan Laoxi said with a hint of anger in his tone.

He was a little annoyed. He should have guessed some of Shancheng's plans earlier. Perhaps this plan had been in place since Lin Tianchen refused the establishment of the Far East Joint Command.

Yan Laoxi frowned and thought seriously. This time Shancheng was definitely setting up an open conspiracy. Even if he knew about it, it would be difficult for him to make any changes. This was the first time he felt the horror of the power of the mouthpiece.

"Mobilize the Tiger Guards to go on an expedition?" Zhao Songshan muttered, his face suddenly becoming serious, his brows furrowed even tighter than Yan Laoxi's.

This is a clear sign of the mountain city starting up.

"The Tiger Brigade serves the country and the people... Shancheng is simply narrow-minded and only thinks about petty gains." Yan Laoxi's tone was full of coldness, and it was obvious that his impression of Shancheng had become extremely bad.

At this critical moment, the Battle of Chuncheng is related to the future of the entire three northeastern provinces. If we lose, not only will the entire three northeastern provinces fall into eternal night again.

It can also indirectly affect the national situation and the enthusiasm for resistance.

Although Shancheng has not said it explicitly yet, in the eyes of some people who are interested, the implication is very obvious.

When Yan Laoxi thought of this, he slammed his hand down on the table again with a very cold look in his eyes.

"Sir, this matter requires careful consideration."

Zhao Songshan thought about it seriously, but couldn't come up with a good solution.

People in the court have always been heartless since ancient times, but he did not expect that Shancheng would do such a thing. You must know that the achievements of the Huben Brigade are unparalleled, and as a force in Jin, they have had brief contact with the Huben Brigade. The Huben Brigade is definitely not aiming for a city or a place.

Now, when the Tiger Guards Brigade was about to succeed in their Northern Expedition, Shancheng's move made him sigh in his heart.

Yan Laoxi and Zhao Songshan were silent for a long time.

In the end, it was Yan Laoxi who broke the silence.

"Order the 11th, 12th, and 3rd Divisions to assemble! Have Yan Wenqing lead the 11th Division... I will personally go north this time."

Yan Laoxi's tone was extremely firm, but Zhao Songshan's pupils dilated slightly. He did not expect that Yan Laoxi would make such a decision.

Taking people there personally, even the younger generation, means being prepared to stick to one path until the end.

"Commander, this matter..." Zhao Songshan was not against supporting Lin Tianchen, but he thought it was a bit reckless for him to lead the team there personally.

After all, this is too risky. The situation in the three northeastern provinces has not yet been completely stabilized. Going there rashly is too reckless and the gains will not outweigh the losses.

"Damn it, do you really think that people who come out of my Jin area are easy to bully! I'm going to go north to talk to Lin Tianchen in person. If Lin Tianchen wants to..." Yan Laoxi's eyes were now colder than anyone else's, and he didn't continue speaking.

But even though he didn't say anything, Zhao Songshan felt extremely relaxed in his heart. Once Lin Tianchen nodded, Yan Laoxi would definitely do something with Lin Tianchen.

Zhao Songshan listened and didn't know whether he should agree or disagree.

"You take care of the family affairs." Yan Laoxi did not hesitate much and his tone was extremely firm.

Zhao Songshan nodded, because he knew that he couldn't persuade him now.

But his blood was boiling in his heart, and his eyes were bright and respectful as he stared at the person he had followed for half his life. He hadn't felt this way for a long time.

The last time was probably twenty years ago. Now, he could clearly feel his heart, which had been silent for a long time, beating clearly, and it was so sonorous and powerful.

"By the way, how is the reorganization of the 33rd Division going?"

"We've just filled up our staff and started training not long ago..."

"Pity."

Yan Laoxi shook his head helplessly, but after he made the decision, he did not delay at all. Even though it was night, all the staff members of the command center gathered urgently.

When they learned that Mr. Yan was heading northwest and the news about the mountain city came, they all felt very excited.

Telegrams were continuously sent out from the original city, and more than twenty good horses were sent out from the city gate overnight with an express delivery of 800 miles.

Yan Laoxi looked up at the dim sky. The moonlight was half hidden in the clouds. There was no heavy snow at night, and it was surrounded by stars.

The moonlight shines on the earth, like the sky at dawn.

Troops were quickly mobilized in several garrisons around the original city.

In the second half of the night, troops from all walks of life were already waiting outside the city, and military commanders had already begun to enter the city.

When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning penetrated the clouds from the mountains and fell on the earth, the morning dew hanging on the eaves of the city gate reflected the groups of fully armed troops outside the city.

They were all wearing military uniforms, and the trucks were pulling various heavy artillery and were fully loaded with ammunition.

The soldiers are lined up in neat rows, and the morning sun kisses their young faces.

Outside the city wall, many people stood up and looked at the scene in front of them with some confusion.

Those who had been afraid of fighting also stood up.

The sound of the wind was like a war drum, blowing the corners of clothes whistling.

"The Third Division is waiting outside the pass, and the Eleventh and Twelfth Divisions have assembled. This is the latest telegram from the Battle of Chuncheng." Zhao Songshang whispered on the side, and then handed a telegram to him.

Yan Laoxi stood straight in his military uniform, which he had not worn for many years.

"The Japanese invaders broke out of Chuncheng. The two regiments at Shanweipo fought a fierce battle against four divisions of the Kwantung Army. The battle has not ended yet. The bloody battle at Beidingyuan lasted for two days and two nights, with heavy losses on both sides..."

Yan Laoxi put away the telegram in shock, his eyes very cold.

"The war is intense in the front, and there are intrigues in the back..." Yan Laoxi said with gritted teeth.

"Report! The entire 11th Division has assembled!"

"Report, the entire 12th Division has assembled!"

"..."

A group of officers came over, and Yan Laoxi glanced at them one by one, while the people in the city behind him all saluted him, with worry, hesitation, and reluctance to leave their current life in their eyes.

Standing in the cold wind, Yan Laoxi did not feel cold.

"Yan is not talented. I have been a soldier for half my life and have only been able to settle down. I am not good at military affairs and I am only good at politics. But now the Jin army has sent out its tiger soldiers to conquer the mountains and rivers in the north. I will use my body to pave the way and fight for the territory."

"We are marching north today, not for any other reason, but simply to let the world know that the Tiger Brigade is not fighting alone."

"Gentlemen, follow me in the Northern Expedition. Life and death are decided by fate. Are you willing?"

There was actually a hint of oldness in Yan Laoxi's voice, but he was full of energy when he spoke.

"war!"

"war!"

"..."

Wherever Yan Laoxi looked, he waved his hand, and the people witnessed it, and the wind roared like drums.

"Northern Expedition!"
