Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 49 Xilin Ancient Road

"Well, very good. It seems that the opinions of the three of you have basically been unified. We must go to the Central Plains, but not now. I judge that within six months to a year, there will be storms in the Central Plains. That is to say, we have It can take half a year to adjust. My idea is that in terms of internal affairs, we should concentrate on economic development. In terms of military affairs, we can intervene appropriately in Indiana, but it should not be too deep, and we should not target the land and focus on gaining profits. Accumulate a material base for marching into the Central Plains. On the Western Region side, we will not move them temporarily, strengthen our influence and control in Bega and Kuqa, and maintain pressure on Loulan.” Wufeng is also full of ambition, “The Motts have already shown Very good intentions, we want to continue to deepen the ally relationship between the two sides, I think if they have suitable candidates, we might as well support them and try to get us a stable ally."

"However, I am also thinking that the situation in Kansai is not as peaceful as we imagined. I always feel that the old Shen Da, who is close to the dust, should not be so inactive. Right now, the Lin and Lang families have controlled Lujiang and Bashan. The two prefectures, the southern part of Kansai have changed hands, and Longdong has become the main throat linking Kansai and the Taiping Sect's lair in Beiyuan. Once they are blocked by the imperial army or us, their situation will be difficult, so I doubt the Taiping Army Is there any big action in the pipeline?" Wu Feng threw out another opinion of his own.

Ling Tianfang focused his eyes, and his face suddenly became heavy, "My lord, do you suspect that the Taiping Sect is planning to make trouble in Heshuo?"

"Well, it's hard to say. After the integration of the Taiping Sect in the past six months, its military strength has begun to take shape, and it has also taken the initiative to give up the two prefectures of Lujiang and Bashan, further shrinking the line of defense, and further deepening the conflict between the Linlang family and the empire. Increase. If you want to connect Kansai and Yanyun in Beiyuan, Heshuo is a must-have place, not to mention occupying Heshuo, the imperial capital is also surrounded, and most of the empire is in your hands." Wufeng passed by Lulong After gaining and losing a battle, I have already gained a deeper understanding of the upper echelons of the Taiping Sect. These guys are also people who are unwilling to be lonely. Their ambitions are far from being as simple as I imagined at the beginning. If the teacher is too powerful, it will become a stumbling block on his way to the East.

"My lord, is there any other intelligence or evidence to confirm your inference?" Su Qin hesitated before asking.

Shaking his head, Wufeng's eyebrows were deeply locked, "At least not yet, but the Taiping Sect suddenly sent troops to Partridge Pass in an attempt to capture our eastward bridgehead in one fell swoop. But it failed in the end, but it has fully exposed their ambitions. This time, She Nei and Yue Shan did a good job, and captured an important person from the other party. People, have a good trial of this guy and see if you can dig out something."

"In addition, I have also instructed Gu Dengyun to step up intelligence collection in Kansai and the surrounding areas of Kansai, hoping to obtain information as soon as possible. We should also increase our efforts to infiltrate Heshuo, even if the Taiping Sect people take the lead Opportunity, we can't be powerless to fight back, such arrangements should be made sooner rather than later."

"I really hope that my judgment is a fallacy, hehe, but judgments that are often unfavorable to me are just the truth. This is what I summed up for myself." Wufeng smiled helplessly and laughed at himself.

"If that's the case, can we remind the Central Committee of the Empire?" The beauty in green who was sitting next to Wufeng couldn't bear it anymore.

"Don't worry, the empire still has a legion of troops in Heshuo. In addition, since His Majesty the Emperor authorized the northern military region to recover the Yanyun and Yunfu, Situ Tai wants to earn a performance in front of her father and establish an image in front of the officials. In order to gain more weight for myself to ascend to the throne, I have to show some real skills in this battle, I wonder if the Taiping Sect still has the power to get involved in Heshuo after being attacked by the Northern Military Region?" Wufeng smiled lightly.

"My lord, the people of the Taiping Sect are certainly a disaster, but from my subordinate's point of view, the Kaman people are probably more of a threat to us in the Northwest than the Taiping Sect. At present, we only need to firmly guard the Zhegu Pass, and the Taiping Sect We can’t do anything about it, but the Kamanians are different. The threat on Jiayuguan has put us under considerable pressure, and now we have taken on the defense of Terok. No matter where the Kamanians go south from, we have to deal with them heavily. Especially after the Kamans resolved their northern barbarian riots, I am afraid this will become more obvious. We should have prepared for this earlier." Ling Tianfang euphemistically put forward his own different views.

"I agree with Brother Ling. If this problem is not resolved, we may fall into a passive position at any time, and all our other plans will be hindered. This must be taken into consideration." Su Qin also agreed.

"The threat of the Kamanians will not be eliminated in a short period of time. However, I am thinking that since the Kamanians are a country, they must not be monolithic, especially if they are the same as the empire. It’s Prime Minister Gomez, does their emperor have no appeal or is completely united with the Prime Minister? I don’t think it’s possible to be monolithic here? Can you think of a way out? Su Qin, what do you think?” Wu Feng With a slight smile, he threw the topic to his foreign affairs supervisor.

Su Qin, who had been prepared for a long time, was not polite, and took up the words carelessly: "According to the arrangement of the adults, we have already made some plans a year ago, but the Kamanian Prime Minister Gomez is quite strong. For the time being, there is no one who can compete with them. We have also contacted some conservative nobles who are opposed to going south, and have maintained good relations. However, it will take time and opportunities, after all, they do not have the ability to directly contact Gomez and the Kaman military. The strength of the confrontation, we hope that through them they can gradually influence the views of their emperor, His Majesty Drica II, and slow down their southward invasion. It's just that it will take quite a while and various opportunities."

"I hope this plan can gradually take effect, and haste makes waste. We can't put all our hopes on this seemingly illusory plan." Wufeng continued.

The summer evening looks extraordinarily beautiful. The setting sun shines in the west, covering Qingyang City with a thin layer of golden light after a busy day. Strolling among the pines and forests outside Xilin Temple, the refreshing feeling blowing over your face makes Wufeng also feel refreshed. One clear. This Xilin Temple was originally an unknown small temple located in the west corner of Qingyang City. Before Wufeng took control of Qingyang City, it had been deserted for a long time. With Wufeng taking control of the northwest, the population of Qingyang grew rapidly. The number of Buddhist disciples is also increasing day by day, and many monks simply live in Xilin Temple permanently, and this Xilin Temple has gradually become a little angry.

Wufeng discovered such a secluded place by accident, and immediately fell in love with it. Whenever he was free, he would leave the guards around him and go for a walk in the tree-lined path alone. one of his hobbies.

Although it is already evening, the northwest sky in midsummer is still bright at this time, and the fire-like red glow reflects the western half of the sky brightly, which is still a bit dazzling. The cool breeze is blowing, and the pines are bursting. Walking here can be described as supreme enjoyment. Fully relax himself, Wufeng put his hands behind his back, leisurely and contented, it has been a long time since he felt so comfortable and relaxed.

"Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan Mountain. The mountain weather is beautiful at sunset, and the birds return each other." A graceful and melodious voice came quietly from the other end of the forest path, and another voice that was as crisp as a thin bell immediately Continuing: "There is a real meaning in this, if you want to distinguish it, you're lying. Alright, miss, let's go back, it's getting dark, let's stop here and learn those rotten words, okay?"

The voice of the latter sounded like a young girl acting like a spoiled child to an elder sister, but it sounded like a maidservant begging her master.

"It's getting dark here in the northwest, and it's hard to come out for a walk, why don't you go around more?" The soft and delicate voice sounded very comfortable like a gentle breeze.

"Is there anything to see in such a small temple? Apart from this piece of pine and forest, there is still some charm, He Ying really can't see any place here that is worth lingering for miss?" The maid named He Ying retorted, "God It's getting dark, miss, you don't put on makeup, what should you do if you are seen by the gangsters who peep at the lady's appearance?"

"Well, He Ying, did you see the few stone tablets over there just now? Don't look at the blurred and dilapidated handwriting, but it is full of ancient flavor, the font is strong and powerful, and the brushwork is sharp. It looks like it was made by a famous artist~ IndoMTL.com~ It’s just that the name below has been lost, and it’s a pity that we don’t know who left it.” The voice of the answer was still calm, “It’s been a while since we’ve been here in Qingyang, and even martial law has passed It has been lifted for a few days, I think the social security in Qingyang is quite good, I heard that this Qingyang City Guard is a talented student from the Imperial University, but he seems to like to linger in brothels, which is quite inconsistent with his official voice."

With a disdainful snort, the voice of a servant girl rang out: "Official voice? People who hang around those dirty places all day have official voices? I don't know how the common people in Qingyang City would praise such a guy. Praise, are they all blind?"

"He Ying, what you said is too biased. Loitering in brothels is not a big contradiction with him being an official. At most, this person is a little careless. Even people of Daddy's age still hang out with people in these places from time to time. There is nothing wrong with social occasions."

With a "puchi" smile, the servant girl's voice became more and more pleasant: "Miss, if you speak ill of the master behind his back, if the master hears it, you are not afraid of making him angry?"

"Damn girl, if you don't tell me, how could my father know about it?" Nian Rou's voice was also full of laughter, "Since you dare to go, don't be afraid of others talking about it. I think this Qingyang city guard's behavior is quite unique. Isn't he afraid that being so presumptuous under Li Wufeng's nose will affect his future? This Li Wufeng is also strange, it stands to reason that Qingyang is the capital of the Northwest, so why wouldn't he hear the reaction?"

"The world is as black as crows, maybe this Qingyang city guard has bought Li Wufeng off long ago, and the two of them are also brothers and sisters, let alone the second brother." The maid's voice was still dismissive, "Didn't you say that Is Li Wufeng also a playboy? Probably all his subordinates are like this?"
