Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 94 Helpless

The two monarchs and ministers sat silently in the main hall. Grand Duke Alan seemed to be ten years old. His pampered and fat cheeks became sunken within a few days, and his eyes, which were still somewhat energetic, were bloodshot. His gaze also seemed a little dull, and the corners of his mouth twitched occasionally. Obviously, the bad news in the past few days was about to crush the old man.

The Minister of Military Affairs, Duke Lanmont, who was sitting on the lower edge was also full of melancholy. The successive blows made him dizzy. Before the troops of the Royal Imperial Guards had time to leave the army, everything was over, but it was still a viable force. God knows if joining the battle can turn the tide of the situation. If it is useless, then the capital will have to give up.

"Aiqing Lan Meng, is there nothing that can be done in Fanlin City?" Time passed slowly in silence, and in the end it was Grand Duke Alan who couldn't stand the suffocating dullness and spoke up.

"Your Majesty, what else can we do? Now that Fanlin City is completely besieged, and we see that the Kamanians here will also swarm the border. With our current strength, it is already a great deal to be able to hold on to Merrington. It's very difficult, how can we still care about Fanlin City?" Duke Lanmeng is also full of bitterness. In the current situation, no one will be able to recover. The Kamans have already occupied an absolute advantage. We can only hope for a miracle to happen.

"But if Fanlin City is lost, how long can we hold on here? Three sides are Kaman people, and the south side is the territory of the Taiping Sect. We can only sit and wait for death." Although Grand Duke Alan is not a generation of Mingjun, But many of these simple battlefield situations can still be seen clearly.

"Well, now we are in trouble at home and abroad. To be honest, Your Majesty, the old minister also feels that he is really powerless." Duke Lanmeng said painfully, "Now the Tanghe Empire has been messed up by the Taiping Sect, and there is no power to help us at all. , not to mention that we have now been separated from the central government of the Tanghe Empire by the Taiping Sect people, even if they have the strength, there is nothing they can do."

The hall fell silent again, only the heavy breathing of the two could be heard, "Then in your opinion, there is nothing we can do?" Grand Duke Alan's voice was particularly depressed.

"Uh, this ``````" Minister of Military Affairs is also sweating on his head, eats the king only pays, is under one person in the principality, and above ten thousand people, but at this time he is speechless when asked by his own grand duke Word.

"Hey, is it true that the foundation of the ancestors is about to be lost in my hands?" Grand Duke Alan's words were more like a whip whipping the Minister of Military Affairs' heart.

"Aiqing, can you think of a way to get the people from Taiping to help us? If they are willing to help us tide over the difficulties, no matter what the conditions are, they can choose money or land!" Grand Duke Alan is already in a state of emergency Go to the doctor indiscriminately.

"Your Majesty, this is impossible. Leaving aside whether they have the ability, it can be clearly seen from the current situation that the Taiping Sect people must have been involved with the Kamans and Puers in the north. If they are together, they are the same breed." Duke Lanmont smiled wryly and shook his head while answering, at the same time a thought flashed through his mind.

"But `````" Duke Lanmont quickly considered the feasibility of the plan while also considering whether the Grand Duke in front of him would accept his suggestion.

"But what, Ai Qing, if you have any ideas, feel free to bring them up. Now that the situation has become like this, is there anything unacceptable?" Duke Alan seemed to see something, and immediately spoke out to dispel the other party's concerns .

"Uh, Your Majesty, the old minister is thinking that although the Taiping Army cannot be relied on, Li Wufeng in our southwest still has a glimmer of hope, but there are still many difficulties in the process." Duke Lanmeng said hesitantly.

Hearing what Duke Lanmeng said, the Duke sitting on the top seemed to have taken a dose of heart-stimulating medicine, and his spirits immediately lifted. Just as the drowning man grabbed a life-saving straw at the moment before sinking, he hurriedly asked : "Ai Qing, come and listen."

"Li Wufeng's territory is not bordering with ours, but now he has sent troops into Lulong by expelling the Taiping Sect, and has actually controlled the Lulong Mansion in Beiyuan County of the Tanghe Empire, which has also had a certain impact on the Kaman people. Threat, now that Fielding has completely relied on him, his position in the northwest has been as stable as Mount Tai, and his strength has expanded rapidly. Perhaps even the Kaman people are a little jealous of him. The old minister is also wondering whether it is Li Wufeng's rapid growth in strength Make the Kaman people feel threatened, so they are eager to solve our problems here?" Duke Lanmont analyzed while thinking.

"Now the eastern part of Lulong Mansion controlled by Li Wufeng is still under the control of the Taiping Sect, which also blocks the way for Li Wufeng's army to enter our Terok. Now the problem is here. If we persuade Li Wufeng to be willing to reinforce us, It must also pass through the area controlled by the Taiping Sect, and this problem must be resolved."

"In addition, how to persuade Li Wufeng to send troops is also a very specific question. Although Li Wufeng is not weak, I heard that they suffered a loss from the Luzon people in Northern Luzon a while ago, and I don't know the actual situation. How is it? So it is quite difficult for the veteran to persuade Li Wufeng." Duke Lanmeng finally finished speaking slowly.

Grand Duke Alan obviously heard the implication. I am afraid that the first reason is not the main reason. The second is how to persuade Li Wufeng to send troops is the real key. After all, the situation is unpredictable at this time. Strength is the safest measure anyone will take. Of course, it is impossible to use one's own army easily, especially when Li Wufeng's surroundings are not peaceful.

"Then what conditions do you think they must meet, that is, what price we have to pay, before they can send troops?" Grand Duke Allen's face gradually calmed down.

"This minister can't tell. The current situation is dangerous, which is extremely unfavorable to us. It can be said that if there is no foreign aid, we will have nothing to do. It's just a matter of time. The only hope at present is Li Wufeng's side. Sending troops at this time, so it is not easy to impress the other party." The Minister of Military Affairs began to circle around.

The whole body of Grand Duke Allen, who was sitting at the top, shook, and he said in a low voice: "Aiqing, tell me what you think, it's already this time, what else can you say?"

"Well, ``````" Seeing that his Grand Duke was getting a little impatient, Lan Meng gritted his teeth and said, "I think that if you want to impress Li Wufeng, the general conditions may not be easy for him to see, such as money and land. It might be useful at ordinary times, but I'm afraid it won't be of much use at this time. I'm wondering if Li Wufeng is still young and unmarried. Can His Majesty let Princess Anne get engaged to him, and let Princess Anne go to the northwest first, so as to clarify the relationship and let him be married? Li Wufeng is determined to send troops, and secondly, if the big thing doesn't help, he can also leave a trace of blood for the Jielock royal family."

"What?" Archduke Allen stood up with a cry, his eyes firmly fixed on the other's face, Lan Meng looked very calm, and even a little relaxed, anyway, the words have already been said, and it is up to him whether the Grand Duke accepts or not. thing.

After a while, Grand Duke Allen sat back in his seat in frustration, stroked his forehead with his hand, and said in pain: "Is there no other way?"

"Your Majesty, think about it, can other conditions make Li Wufeng fancy? Princess Anne is not only famous, but also beautiful, and the most important thing is that she is the sole heir to the throne of the Duke of Terok. Li Wufeng will definitely Be moved by it, perhaps this is the only condition that can impress the other party." Duke Lanmont said with a serious expression.

"Lovely Qing also knows that Li Wufeng is engaged to the seventeenth princess of the Tanghe people? And if Princess Anne marries him, after a hundred years, won't I, Terok, fall into the hands of outsiders?" Allen Although the Grand Duke has accepted this suggestion in his heart, he is still a little unwilling.

"It's a custom in Tanghe that a person with Li Wufeng's status can marry eight regular wives~IndoMTL.com~ What's more, it's just an engagement, who can predict what will happen in the future? First make an agreement with Li Wufeng that the first child born to Princess Anne will inherit the Grand Dukedom of the Czech Republic, and the northwest side must not have any objections or interference." Grand Duke Lan Meng explained with a wry smile. The Grand Duke is too "foresighted" about things.

After another long silence, Grand Duke Alan raised his head and said, "Aiqing, do you know that the son has admired the little girl for a long time, and the little girl also has a good impression of the son, your suggestion may ruin the relationship between the two of you." Fate?"

The Duke of Lanmeng smiled miserably, "Your Majesty, why don't you know this? But in the current situation, once the Kamans attack us and destroy our Terok, how can there be any eggs in the nest? Everything will cease to exist. Where will we be?" Can we talk about these love affairs?" His face became extremely pale, but even so, if his son knew the whole story of this matter, he would never forgive himself so easily.

This is also the helplessness of being born in a family like his own. No one can reverse the cruel reality. If he wants to survive, he must make sacrifices and pay the price. The price may be various, money , land, women, feelings, anything is possible.

The dull and depressing atmosphere made both the Duke of Allen and the Duke of Lanmont feel unbearable, especially this suffocating depression made people feel restless, "My love, then hurry up and do it, Anne Over there, I will personally say, alas, ``````"

The standing figure of Grand Duke Alan looked so old and tired. Maybe he was really old, and the heavy pressure was enough to destroy anyone's health. , you have to face all kinds of cold reality.
