Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 52: Surging
Looking at the brothers at the table in front of him, Wufeng felt a little emotional. He didn't expect that he would spend such a unique way in the imperial capital. Except for the guards who were on duty as usual, the other guards who came to the imperial capital with Wufeng almost gathered together. Arriving here, although the hall was considered large enough, it still seemed a bit crowded with dozens of people squeezed in at once.
Seeing that Wufeng had already taken the main seat, Song Tianxiong leaned over: "My lord, according to your opinion, all the brothers have come except those on duty."
Nodding, Wufeng stood up, picked up a glass of traditional rice wine of the Tang people in front of him, stood up, looked at the guards who were full of reverence, Wufeng was also a little excited: "Come on, Brothers, today is the traditional festival of our Tang people - Shou Sui, and tomorrow is the annual Spring Festival. Most of the brothers here are old subordinates who followed me from the guard system. Well, there are also me The good men Li Wufeng recruited in the Northwest, Mr. Li's success depends on the brothers including you all. The old year is about to pass, and the new year is coming. I believe that with the help of Mr. Li's gang Hot-blooded man, no matter where we go, we will hold our heads high and do whatever we want, and no one can stop us from moving forward. I won’t say any extra words today, let’s do this and let us be more brilliant next year!”
Wufeng's passionate words made the guards here excited. They were already conquered by Wufeng's superhuman personal charm. What a noble status to be a close guard. In the Northwest, even ordinary people will respect them, because they are responsible for the safety of Lord Li Wufeng, the protector of the people of the Northwest.
Moved by Wu Feng's provocative words, all the people present stood up and finished their work with their heads up. There were no extra words, but loyalty and passion.
Standing behind Wufeng, Song Tianxiong silently watched the vigorous back of his master, with ups and downs in his heart. Why does this man in front of him always win the incomparable admiration of his subordinates with every word and deed? Even himself, who thought he was extremely calm, couldn't help but feel like screaming up to the sky after hearing what he said, which made him feel that he didn't follow the wrong person. Following such a master, even dying on the battlefield is far better than dying on the bedside of old age, and I have no complaints or regrets, after all, I once had a period of glory that belonged to me.
Even though it was New Year's Eve, Lu Wenfu did not stop. The information sent one after another made him stay up late at night for several days in a row. The situation made it impossible for him to sleep peacefully. Almost all the information reflects that the so-called Taiping religion has already established a solid foundation in Beiyuan and Yanyun counties of the empire, but the local government maintains a good relationship with them, and they even assist the government to do a good job for the local people. education work.
Seeing this, Lu Wenfu couldn't help standing up irritably, threw the presented information on the ground, opened the window, the sky outside was still clear, but his heart was filled with gloom.
It's a big joke in the world. The key object of suspicion in my mind actually helps the government to educate the people. This certainly shows the incompetence of the local government. good. Thinking of this, Lu Wenfu felt an unexplained chill on his back. Could it be that these guys really have some big conspiracy? If so, what would it be? Will it have something to do with those countries in the north?
Bending down to pick up the information again, Lu Wenfu's rather thick back seemed to be a little stooped at this moment. The deeper it is hidden, the more worrisome it is! Chewing every sentence in the information repeatedly, as if to find more useful information between the lines, Lu Wenfu slowly sat back on his seat.
After a long time, Lu Wenfu didn't let go of this top-secret information until he couldn't find anything worth analyzing. Looking at the current situation, there are more or less people involved in the local government. No matter what kind of plot it is, it has already caused considerable harm to the empire, but how can these guys be dug out in a short time? Not to mention that no one is missed, at least the main heads must be screened out. The local internal affairs department can't believe it. At least in this matter, it is related to the internal officials of the local government. It is difficult to say whether there is any involvement in it.
Lu Wenfu felt a headache. Although there are a lot of staff in the General Administration, the internal affairs department has too wide a jurisdiction, involving every aspect of the empire, and every detail will eventually be gathered in the General Administration. Qi, both of his deputies have complicated backgrounds behind them, and they can get along with their work, but they are unwilling to play tricks.
With a long sigh, he turned his eyes back to the case, picked up a piece of information, and scanned it briefly, which immediately caught his attention again. The content of the information is very simple. It reflects that the personnel stationed in the imperial capital of Sanjiang County and Tiannan County of the empire have been extremely active recently, frequently visiting the ministers and princes, and also contacting some internal servants in the palace. This piece of information immediately aroused Lu Wenfu's high vigilance. The internal servants were more or less related to the emperor's harem concubines. What was the plan of the Lin family and the Lang family at this moment?
After reading it carefully again, I still didn't find any loopholes. Could it be that I was really suspicious? Maybe it's a routine New Year's greetings between the Lin and Lang families in order to ease the relationship with the central government of the empire? Lu Wenfu comforted himself, but years of professional experience still told him that there was always something wrong with it. Why did so many personnel related to foreign affairs be sent to the imperial capital instead of the customary personnel from the etiquette department? Lu Wenfu keenly sensed something unusual in it.
Lin and Lang made such a move at the same time, what exactly does it indicate? Lu Wenfu thought hard, it was already the end of the year, could there be any changes? Could it be that the two are going to war? Lu Wenfu stood up suddenly, but the lack of military information prevented him from making any judgments, but he hadn't heard that the two families had turned against each other recently.
Lu Wenfu shook his head helplessly. Maybe he was too sensitive. As he got older, he became more suspicious of everything. From the current point of view, it is indeed impossible to see that the two families are going to fight each other. The exhaustion haunted him deeply, making him feel as if he was a few years older.
"My lord, Mr. Cai is urgently seeking an audience outside." The guard's hasty announcement interrupted the lively family feast, and the hall full of guests suddenly fell silent.
Frowning, He Zhiqiu stood up calmly, motioned for his wife to take over the family feast today, without showing any hesitation, turned around and followed the guard out of the hall, "Go invite Mrs. Cai to come Come in the study."
"Yes, my lord." The guard turned and trotted out.
"My lord, I'm sorry to bother you. The situation is a bit urgent, so I came as soon as I received the information." The thin middle-aged man standing in front of He Zhiqiu and reporting is the intelligence agency under the new General Administration of Military Affairs- --- Cai Heng, Director of Military Intelligence.
"Well, sit down and talk about it." He Zhiqiu knew it was a tricky matter as soon as he heard it. It is definitely not a good thing to rush to report at this moment, but it must not be a problem on the southern line.
"Some time ago, intelligence personnel reported that the troops of Sanjiang County and Tiannan County were redeploying. At that time, there was news that Sanjiang County was suppressing ethnic minority rebellions, so we did not pay attention to it. But recently, Tiannan County The main forces of Nanjun and Sanjiangjun are making secret adjustments, and the movements are very large. It seems that they are going to take military action, so after receiving the final information this afternoon, I think I should report to you, my lord." Thin and small The man's tone was still a little hesitant, obviously the information he obtained was not very accurate.
"Oh? Is it that serious?" He Zhiqiu couldn't help but tremble when he heard that the Lin Lang family had signs of military action. Could it be that the Lin Lang family will rebel at this juncture? Impossible, absolutely impossible, he immediately denied the absurd idea that came up in his mind, no one would dare to attack the empire at this time, this would arouse the outrage of all the people of the Tang clan, it would only The gains outweigh the losses, let alone the Lin Lang family.
"Yes, my lord, the transfer of their troops is no longer like a normal defense change, but more like preparing for a military operation." The skinny man quickly replied.
"Is this the case for both parties?" He Zhiqiu was very surprised. Could it be that the Linlang family is planning to have a long spring battle during the Spring Festival? Impossible~IndoMTL.com~ How could these two families fight at this moment inexplicably? This is simply a fantasy, he shook his head.
"Yes, my lord, both sides are making secret transfers, but it seems that the adjustment direction seems to be south." The skinny man continued.
"Oh? South?" He Zhiqiu immediately had a map of the south in his mind, "South?!" He immediately realized that these two guys really couldn't bear the loneliness.
Nanfeng Mansion, the capital of Tiannan County in the empire, was brightly lit by military and government officials, and the figures coming and going indicated that something unusual would happen. Lang Yongquan, dressed in military uniform, was concentrating on checking the map on the wall. A few staff officers next to him were waiting respectfully for Lord Jiedushi to issue an order. Next to Lang Yongquan was a middle-aged man in military uniform and a scribe. Naturally, the men in question are Xie Changyang, the head of the Tiannan Second Army Corps, and Yang Mubai, his chief aide.
"Changyang, how are you preparing?" Lang Yongquan raised his head and asked kindly. Under the fiery red candlelight, Lang Yongquan, who was dressed in military uniform and had a resolute face, looked even more extraordinary.
"Report, my lord, everything is already in place. If there is no accident, the attack should start smoothly in two hours." The black-faced Xie Changyang was originally the son of a servant. He grew up with Lang Yongquan since he was a child. He was treated by others, and let him study and study with him. The relationship between the two was like brothers. Lang Yongquan appointed him as the deputy commander of the Tiannan First Army Corps. After the formation of the Second Army Corps, Lang Yongquan immediately made him the commander of the Second Army Corps, and he naturally became the number two figure in the Tiannan Army.
