Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 92: Dilemma
"No, I will never agree! Unless I die, no one will let me withdraw from Lujiang one by one!" Lin Guoxiong, who was extremely emotional, completely lost his former calm, like an angry lion, his chest Rapid ups and downs, blushing on his face, walking back and forth in the spacious meeting hall, roaring like thunder: "My Lin family has worked so hard and gone through untold hardships, and actually wants me to quit without saying a word? It's just a fool's dream! No one can do it!"
A series of words spewed out of Lin Guoxiong's mouth. It can be seen that this time he was angered by the request made by the empire. It has always been his lifelong dream to march into Kansai, because he thought this was the first step for Lin Jiaxing. Now that the bridgehead to enter Kansai has been taken, the north can look down on Kansai, and the west can threaten the south of the sky. The morale of the army is now high, and it can take advantage of the victory to advance. Even if it requires stability, it can be steady and steady. Lay a good foundation for the next step. Now he wants to make him take the initiative to give in, how can this be accepted?
This meeting hall is located in the capital of Lujiang City. It used to be an important meeting place for local officials in Lujiang City. Now that Lujiang River has been captured by the Sanjiang First Army led by Lin Guowei, it naturally became the meeting place for the Sanjiang garrison.
Standing at the bottom, Lin Guowei and several other important officers of the Sanjiang First Army Corps seemed a little aggrieved. The unreasonable demands of the empire made them feel unacceptable. In exchange for today's great situation, but now they have to withdraw alive and hand over to the incompetent imperial army to take over. How can this not make them feel righteous indignation?
"My lord, those guys, we don't need to pay attention to them at all! This is what we took back from the Taiping Sect with a drop of sweat and a drop of blood. Take this place back, it’s too arrogant to do this, it doesn’t take us seriously! Since they are not benevolent, don’t blame us for being unrighteous, let their special envoy go away, and come to fight if they are not convinced. I want to see who dares to come to Taisui to break ground!" Huang Hua, the deputy head of the Sanjiang First Army Corps, was the one with a loud voice. As soon as he heard the intention of the imperial envoy, he became angry from the heart and turned evil. He was so courageous that he wished he could kill this special envoy immediately to vent his hatred.
"Yes! Don't overestimate yourself!"
"If you have the ability to take it back by yourself, what is this, wishful thinking!"
The chief officers of the following divisions also shouted in agreement with this, and the crowd was excited for a while, and their ears were filled with cursing.
On the contrary, Lin Guowei, who has always had a calm personality, frowned, but seeing that his brother was in a state of emotional loss at this time, it was not easy to intervene, and he just stood there silently. He was very dissatisfied with the request, but he thought much further. He also knew that his brother was angry at this time, but as long as he calmed down, he believed that he would slowly consider the gains and losses.
Even though the generals below were making noise, Lin Guoxiong's mood gradually calmed down. Of course, this does not mean that he will accept the request of the empire. What kind of influence does it have on one's own side.
Seeing that Master Jiedushi's face was still gloomy and angry, but his expression showed that he was thinking about something, obviously thinking about the difficult problem before him, all the generals also quietly closed their mouths knowingly, waiting for Jiedushi Your Excellency makes the final decision.
After thinking about it, Lin Guoxiong still felt that he could never just give up on Lujiang. There was no turning back when he opened his bow. Now that he has taken the first step to compete in the Central Plains, there is nothing to regret, let alone such a smooth start. Although there is the troublesome matter of the coming of the empire, Lin Guoxiong is not too worried. After all, today's empire is already a huge empty shelf in his eyes. Asking myself to use other excuses to perfunctory the past, without checking and balancing my own strength, I am not qualified to point fingers.
Seeing his brother's face was cloudy and uncertain, Lin Guowei was a little worried. He knew that his elder brother attached great importance to this expedition to the north, and before he left, he repeatedly urged him to seize and occupy the Lujiang River to lay the foundation for the future northward expedition. He lived up to expectations and captured and controlled the entire Lujiang Mansion. Everything seemed so perfect, but he did not expect that the empire would ask to take back the management right of Lujiang at this time, which put him in a dilemma.
Give in? Not only was the previous effort in vain, but it also blocked the road to the north; rejecting the imperial request? That will inevitably anger the empire, not only the central government of the empire, but also the dissatisfaction of the civil forces within the empire. Impact and impact, these should also be taken into consideration.
Perhaps perfunctory evasion is the best choice, which can avoid directly falling out with the empire and not lose actual benefits, but can the empire really tolerate it? Would this be the best option? When Lin Guowei raised his eyes and met the eyes of his brother who was looking over, both of them noticed the worry in each other's eyes.
Waving his hands in a dejected manner, Lin Guoxiong looked a little exhausted: "Everyone go down first and strengthen the vigilance in your respective defense lines. Others and enemies take advantage of the loopholes. You don't need to worry about this matter. I will make my own decision."
When all the generals saluted and left, Lin Guoxiong shouted again: "Guowei, please stay here."
There were only two brothers in the huge meeting room, and it looked empty. Lin Guoxiong sat back in his chair at this time, relaxed himself, and let out a long breath, "Guowei, what do you think of this matter?"
"Brother, this matter is not easy to deal with, and I think you know that no matter what we do, there may be disadvantages and difficulties." Lin Guowei also frowned and spoke heavily.
"Yeah, I didn't expect us to encounter such troubles when we took this first step. Hehe, it seems that the road for our Lin family to grow and develop is not easy." Lin Guoxiong was a little emotional, but his eyes still Shining with confidence.
"Brother, have you made your decision?" Lin Guowei was still a little worried.
"Well, Guowei, do you think we can go back now?" Lin Guoxiong asked back.
Lin Guowei couldn't answer this question for a while, yes, can he go back now? If you want to go back, what is the purpose and significance of this northward march? Can you bear the consequences of not retreating? Have you prepared yourself for all aspects of the response?
He was very skeptical, but he couldn't say much, so he had to suggest vaguely: "This is a big matter, brother, are we doing a good job of auditing, anyway, this matter is not in a hurry, just find someone The reason can also be delayed for a while. Besides, I was thinking, should I let Yue Xin come here to discuss it, maybe she has a better idea. "
"Forget it, you should send someone to pick up Yue Xin. The defense must be stepped up right now. This time, I am determined not to return to Sanjiang. We finally got this opportunity. If we lose it again, maybe I will go back to Sanjiang again in my life." I won’t be able to set foot on the land of the Central Plains anymore, so I won’t die in peace.” Lin Guoxiong also knew his brother’s worries, but he had already made a decision in secret, even if his own daughter came, he couldn’t change him, the big deal was in terms of method and strategy Make some adjustments.
Wufeng frowned and looked at the stack of intelligence materials in his hand, without raising his head, he waved his hand to signal Diao Su who was standing at the bottom to take a seat, but the other party did not follow his wishes, just stood there Patiently waiting for your boss to read.
"Well, this Yao Lian is confirmed to be from Hanzhong?" Wu Feng slowly chewed on the information he had just obtained.
"Well, there should be no problem." Diao Su's answer was also very short and clear.
"Then this thing says that Yao Lian lives in Jinling Chengfeng Building and rarely goes out. Why is it said that she has gone to Yuhang and Quanzhou in the south of the Yangtze River every summer?" Wu Feng asked his own question. ~IndoMTL.com~ This caught his attention.
"My subordinates have also verified that this Yao Lian does go to Jiangnan every year, but I haven't learned the specific details. It is said that she likes the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, so ``````" Diao Su is not sure After all, the time was too short for him to obtain more and more detailed information, and his boss was an extremely shrewd master, so he didn't dare to be sloppy.
"Like the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River? Then why don't you go to Gusu and Huzhou? Is the scenery there bad?" Wufeng shook his head, "As soon as possible, arrange someone to touch it carefully, I always feel This Yao Lian is not such a simple person, and she came to our Northwest just at this sensitive time, so don't be careless."
"Don't worry, my lord. This subordinate will arrange for someone to investigate immediately. I believe there will be an answer in a short time." Diao Su's only eyes flashed with a cold light.
"In addition, pay attention to see who is in contact with her, but I guess there should be no one in contact with her. This woman is not small." Wu Feng is also a little puzzled. The goal is so obvious, it should be difficult to achieve anything. yes.
"My lord, those servants and servants who are suspicious of her, especially the song and dance girl among them, are even more suspicious. Although Yao Lian doesn't see any visitors, that woman seems to be very active." Diao Su said these days The information obtained from the observation was put forward.
"Oh?" Wufeng also became interested, "It seems that those who come are not kind, and those who are kind don't come. It's interesting."
Wufeng laughed while pondering. "Then take good care of them. They are guests, so don't 'neglect' them."
"Don't worry, my lord, this subordinate understands." Diao Su twitched the corner of his mouth knowingly, and the single eyes on his somewhat blue face were full of evil spirit.
