Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 128 Honey
"Hehe, Your Highness is really straightforward, but Li's decision is not influenced by anyone, Li's decision is based on his own judgment." Wufeng grinned, this Situ Jun is still quite self-aware , Dealing with this kind of person is worry-free, simply!
"Oh?" Situ Jun was unmoved, and said with a sneer smile, "Then why does brother Li think so highly of me? It seems that my brothers are no worse than me."
"Well, Your Highness misunderstood. I have not made a final decision now. Even if I have made a decision, it does not mean that I will not change my decision in the future. I think such things as covenant agreements are not enough to bind our Let's act, the only thing that can restrain us is our interests and strength, right?" Li Wufeng shook his head, unceremoniously pointing out the essence, "I believe His Highness also agrees with this point of view, but as far as the current situation is concerned, Li is still more optimistic about the Third Highness You, although His Royal Highness has stronger military strength, His Highness Ninth has higher prestige in the ruling and opposition circles, and His Highness Seven has more economic power."
Situ Jun's face gradually darkened, and his sharp eyes were flickering. He couldn't figure out whether the other party's words were sincere or against his brothers. The same words were the same, and he wanted to know the truth of the other party's heart. Thoughts, such vague language is likely to mislead one's own opinion.
"Brother Li, why don't you tell me what's so special about this king compared to the other brothers, so that brother Li can favor me more?" Situ Jun's words were very clear.
"Hey, Your Highness, the Tanghe Empire is vast in land and resources, with a large population and complex ethnic groups. The advantages in many aspects can be achieved, the accumulation of strength in many aspects, the grasp of timing, the accumulation of popularity in contacts, and the use of strategies and methods are indispensable. Although the other highnesses have their own strengths, they are more or less combined. There are some flaws, so there are still many variables here." Wufeng also knew that the other party did not fully believe what he said, and to be honest, even he might not believe this.
"Oh, I would like to hear the details." Situ Jun asked coldly.
After pondering for a while, Wufeng then slowly opened his mouth and said: "In terms of military strength, His Highness is probably unmatched among the princes, but His Highness is not popular among the ruling and opposition parties. Even His Majesty has scruples about him, and most of His Majesty's foundations are in the Northland. He has been repeatedly harassed and looted by the Taiping Sect, and his vitality has been damaged. , This is also a fatal weakness, if you want to win the battle for the throne, I am afraid it will be quite difficult."
"Oh?" Situ Jun pondered the other party's words carefully, his expression moved slightly, and he said again: "Then what about my seventh brother?"
"Your Highness the Seventh Prince? In terms of economic strength and the surrounding environment, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is probably the best. The economic strength of Jiangnan and Donghai Counties is the highest in the empire. With the support of the Kingdom of Milan, there is no one around. With a strong enemy and the support of the Seventh Legion, His Royal Highness seems to have an astonishing momentum, and he is determined to win." Wufeng considered his words, "However, His Royal Highness seems to have forgotten an important question. The merchant forces in Jiangnan and Donghai counties It is extremely powerful, and the matriarchal family of His Royal Highness seems to represent the interests of the upper-class land nobles of these two counties. Closely, the strength of a single legion, and it is the lowest-ranked legion among the nine major legions of the empire, is too weak. Without the support of the economic power of the merchants, His Royal Highness may become a toothless king. Tiger, at most, it will cause some storms, and it will not bring much harm."
"Well, then my ninth younger brother is deeply favored by my father, and he is well-received in the government and the public. I don't know why it's hard to get into Brother Li's eyes?" Situ Jun's mouth flashed a sinister smile.
"Hey, His Highness the Ninth Prince is indeed very popular, but the battle for the throne is not determined by popularity alone. Right now, even the City Guard Corps seems difficult to be controlled by the central government of the Empire. Will the Imperial Guard Corps have the right to control? What's the problem?" Wufeng had a strange smile on his face, "Without an army under absolute control or fully supporting your troops, it is quite dangerous in the current turbulent situation of the empire."
Situ Jun couldn't help but say that the guy in front of him had a good eloquence and debating skills. He quoted scriptures and allusions, pulled out the cocoons, and raised the core of the problem layer by layer. , but this is not enough to prove that he is the natural heir to the throne, Situ Jun is not so naive.
"Hehe, so it seems that this king is really the only one who is the best candidate for the throne?" Situ Jun asked back.
"His Royal Highness is currently occupying the important area of Heshuo in Guanxi, confronting the Taiping Sect, and has the support of the Fifth Army. As far as Li knows, the Sixth Army seems to have fallen into His Royal Highness's arms, right? Then Wuhu County Presumably, it can also provide His Highness with sufficient food sources and funds. Tianshui and Jincheng are located in an important position, and they are on the critical line between the north and the south. You might as well take this as a basis, wait for the opportunity, and plan a big plan." Wufeng had a half-smile look on his face, especially when he talked about the movement of the Sixth Army, Situ Jun, who had always been calm, suddenly changed his face. .
Situ Jun had no way of knowing how the other party learned about the movement of the Sixth Legion. It turns out that his power in the Fifth and Sixth Legion was wiped out by his father. In the past two years, he has tried his best to Exhausting all means and spending a huge amount of money to regain control of the Fifth Army, and the Sixth Army took even more painstaking efforts. Not long ago, it was considered to be on the line with the Sixth Army, and it was known by the Northwest. People were surprised.
However, he didn't want to deny this. Being able to put more pressure on the opponent, show more strength to the opponent, and perhaps arouse the opponent's more interest in his side.
Pi Xiaorou picked up the topic of Wufeng without a smile, Situ Jun neither denied the other party's opinion, nor admitted: "Well, Mr. Li seems to have far-sightedness, and let me see a broad road, but I don't know it. Can the avenue reach the other shore of victory."
"I haven't tried it before, how can I say success or failure?" Wufeng also picked up the other party's words, "If Your Highness really wants to achieve great things, then don't follow the coy attitude of that woman. You need to take action when you have to do it, Li I am not talented, but I am willing to do my best for His Highness."
Situ Jun knew that he had reached the crux of the problem, so he was not stage-frightened, and asked instead: "Master Li, please tell me about your conditions. Under what circumstances, brother Li is willing to have the power to support this king. What does Master Li need?" In return?"
"It seems that His Highness is not at ease with Li, you misunderstood, Li does not need any promise from His Highness at this time, as long as His Highness can obtain absolute control of the Five Lakes area, and then open Hejian, On the road from Jinzhong to the imperial capital, Li is willing to provide the necessary military support, and is willing to support His Highness to become the successor of the emperor of the empire!" Although Wufeng's words were not loud, the words were clear and decisive, without the slightest delay.
"Master Li, why don't you just say clearly, what kind of specific reward do you need?!" Situ Jun is not a mediocre person either, he doesn't believe that the other party will give in vain and not want his own reward.
Zhanyan grinned, and Wufeng no longer concealed it. He blinked and said sternly, "Your Highness is quick to speak, and Li doesn't want to say anything more. Li hopes His Highness can recognize Li's special interests in Kansai." , to give Li a legitimate title, isn't this request too much? In addition, Li also promised His Highness that as long as His Highness thinks that the Northwest Army should not enter the area, I will never enter, and I am unwilling to enter the Central Plains in my heart, saying To be honest, Li is more willing to expand the territory of the empire to the west!"
"Then if the king wants to go east to conquer Heshuo, can Brother Li provide military support for the king?" Situ Jun did not respond directly to Wufeng's proposal, but asked specific questions.
"Of course, but before that, Li thinks that His Highness seems to have more important things to do, such as stabilizing the situation in Tianshui and Jincheng, firmly controlling the Wuhu area, and making early preparations for war. Observe the changes in the situation of the imperial capital and the other highnesses, especially the changes in the imperial capital, and wait until the time is right ~IndoMTL.com~ to make a move." Wufeng suggested tactfully.
"Brother Li doesn't need to worry about this. This king will not act rashly. I still understand the truth that it will affect the whole body. Before I am absolutely sure, I will not easily be the first bird." Situ Jun He directly appreciates the other party's confession. In his opinion, the other party's suspicion and criticism are often reliable. If the other party is just blindly flattering and instigating, it often means conspiracy behind it.
"Well, that would be the best, but right now the Taiping Sect seems to be very powerful in the Heshuo area. Although His Highness controls Tianshui, if the Taiping Sect comes with the momentum of victory, I don't know if His Highness will be able to do so." How about withstanding the opponent's attack?" Wufeng asked the most critical question, and this was the first time the two talked about details, after all, Tianshui's gains and losses are very important, once Tianshui falls, his eastward passage In particular, the communication channel with the imperial capital is still controlled by outsiders such as the Taiping Sect or Lin Lang. It is much less effective to use the newly developed poisonous gas weapon to take down Longdong if I have tried my best and even exposed it. What you want to see, at least what you don't want to see at the moment.
Situ Jun also hesitated for a moment. Both the east and north sides of Tianshui were threatened by the Taiping Army, and he already felt quite pressured. On the contrary, it was not good, so he bit the bullet and held on, saying that there was no problem. Fortunately, Wufeng didn't ask any more questions, which made Situ Jun heave a sigh of relief.
After some conversation, both of them felt exhausted, so Wufeng proposed that the details of the cooperation between the two parties should be negotiated by the two sides' staff members, and finally reported to both parties for approval. Situ Jun readily accepted it. Opponent's suggestion.
