Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 16 Eastward Plan

"Well, this kind of situation is the last thing I want to see. Once His Majesty dies and the kings take over the throne, the empire will be divided. The appointment is in advance, and the empire will definitely send troops. The war in the north of the empire is inevitable, and the Maqihan people are waiting for the opportunity to guard Baling. The fire is burning everywhere." Wufeng said seriously, "So if there is such a trend, I can only do my best to stop this from happening."

"It's just that I'm afraid it's difficult for us to intervene in such a situation. Several His Royal Highnesses stand together, each holding a heavy army, and each has its own sphere of influence. Without influence, the root cause of the civil war cannot be eliminated." Su Qin further explained with a frown.

"If you can make your highnesses understand the current internal and external situation in the imperial capital, and let them reach a compromise, will it be possible to avoid or delay the possibility of a civil war triggering a foreign invasion?" Wu Feng asked hesitantly, but he also knew that this only I'm afraid this is my own wishful thinking, those few people are unwilling to be inferior to others, how can they reach a compromise?

"This possibility is very small. Right now His Royal Highness Situ Tai controls the entire Yanyun County, and the local officials from several prefectures in the north of Donghai County are also flirting with him. He has more than 300,000 troops. The fighting power of the First and Second Army Corps and several independent divisions in the northern military region are all superior in the imperial army, and they also have considerable potential power in the imperial capital; the third highness Situ Jun is currently controlling the five If the Sixth Army Corps is counted, the number of armored troops in Lake Dabu and Jincheng Mansion in Kansai is close to 300,000. According to intelligence, Situ Jun is actively showing his favor to Cheng Dayou, trying to recruit Cheng Dayou's department If he succeeds, Situ Jun's strength will rise to a higher level, and it is said that Lin Guoxiong is also actively negotiating with Situ Jun, but the progress is unknown."

"The Seventh Prince, Situ Yuan, is relatively weak in the imperial capital, but he is dominant in Jiangnan. The Seventh Army is his loyal confidant, and the Tenth Army has also been formed, but its combat effectiveness has not yet been tested. Part of the fleet is also inclined towards Situ Yuan, and most importantly, as an important ally of the empire, the Kingdom of Milan has already expressed support for him, if this is the case, then his strength is unpredictable."

"As for His Royal Highness Situ Lang, who has the power to oversee the country, most of the ministers in the court regard him as the successor of His Majesty the Emperor, and he controls the new third and fourth armies. The eighth and ninth armies are in the imperial capital. During the establishment of the Eastern and Northern Suburbs, if nothing else, the City Guards Corps should also belong to him. As for the Guards Corps, if he can achieve righteousness in his name, it is estimated that Ma Yuanxiang will also support him. Among the several Highnesses, he should be the most competitive. But he also has a fatal weakness, his influence in the empire is too weak, and it is difficult for his influence to leave the capital."

Su Qin talked endlessly about the pros and cons of the four princes who were most likely to aspire to the throne. His sentences were incisive and hit the nail on the head. Hearing Wufeng and the three of them nodded, "In your opinion, Ka When will the Mann and Poole send troops to intervene?"

"According to my subordinates, if the situation of melee between the four Highnesses is established, the First Highness, the Third Highness, and even the Ninth Highness will definitely try to expand their territory and strengthen their strength, and the exhausted Taiping Sect will probably become everyone If the people of Taiping cannot resist the delicacy in their eyes, it is hard to say whether You Daofang will invite the troops of the two countries to go south in the name of the so-called Holy Kingdom of Taiping at the last moment."

"According to the current intelligence, You Daofang has become more and more authoritarian. He is self-willed and does not listen to anyone's objections. , completely destroyed their original reconciliation policy, and it became more and more violent. The Heshuo and Beiyuan areas were in turmoil, and the gentry and merchants fled. Completely lost the last sliver of trust in the Taiping Sect from the middle and upper classes. These simple-minded guys still control such a large territory in vain. To be able to secure a stable position in the country, that is a fantasy!" Su Qin looked extremely disdainful, obviously disappointed with the performance of the Taiping Sect.

"Well, Gu Dengyun and the intelligence department have only reported that the Taiping Sect has become divided, and the Bo Jinchen faction who advocates a limited attack on the aristocratic forces to maintain social stability has been isolated. You Daofang also sees that there are still He was not dismissed due to certain influence, but in fact You Daofang had already bypassed Bo Jinchen and directly interfered in the military command of the military body. Bo Jinchen is now just a military minister in name. I thought about whether to take advantage of this opportunity to order Liang Chongxin to attack Hejian. Later, I considered that if this would lead to a relaxation of their internal struggles and unanimity with the outside world, I simply let them fight internally first, and wait until they are completely lost. After the foundation of public opinion is established, it is not too late to send troops, and the Chidi people here are making trouble again, so they let it go. Now, it seems that the Taiping Sect should move or not?" Wu Feng cast his eyes on Ling Tian put.

"My lord, there are actually three roads ahead of us. The first is to attack the Taiping Army. The advantage of this road is that it can gain the support of public opinion, and the Taiping Army's combat effectiveness is also weak. The disadvantage is that security is inherently dangerous. If we launch an attack from Longdong and Tianshui, our battle line will be too wide, and our defense line will be too long. Delicious food, it is very likely to attract the invasion of the northern anti-wolves."

"The second line is to go south from Tianshui and capture Jincheng. This line is a bit of a surprise. Situ Jun's defense in Jincheng is weak, and he can conquer it with one attack. The West has formed a strategic encirclement situation against Hanzhong, of course there are many disadvantages, the relationship between Situ Jun and our allies will be broken immediately, and the front line will be drawn farther, which is not conducive to defense, and it is easy to attract Situ Jun's army to attack, and public opinion is not good for us. "

"The third is to unite with the Lang family to attack Hanzhong and Lujiang, and carve up the land in Kansai that belongs to the Lin family. The advantage of this route is that our alliance with the Lang family can give us an absolute advantage in Kansai, and we can control Lujiang. The right is given to the Lang family in exchange for our occupation of Hanzhong. In this way, we can make Tianshui, Longdong and Xikang all have a relatively stable rear, and the loss of our troops is relatively small. One step east is also extremely beneficial, and Jincheng is in the bag. The only disadvantage is that the Lin family will turn against each other. However, the Lin family is now in decline under the attack of the Maqihans and the Lang family. .I personally agree with this route."

Ling Tianfang eloquently proposed three sets of plans, which can be roughly divided into the north line, the middle line and the south line, and he also put forward his own opinion without any hesitation, that is to unite with the Lang family to solve the Lin family.

"Tian Fang, joining forces with the Lin family to attack the Lang family seems to be a way." Wufeng said with some dissatisfaction, this guy knew that he had a special intimate relationship with Lin Yuexin but intentionally proposed this third route , and also expressed support for this line of advance, isn't it intentional to embarrass yourself?

"My lord, you are going to enter the Central Plains, not Tiannan! No matter what else, even if we can solve the Lang family together with the Lin family, so what? Lin Guoxiong regards Hanzhong as a taboo, and he will definitely not give it to us. But Hanzhong is indispensable to us. Even if we get Bashan, the east is the Lujiang River occupied by the Lin family, and the south is Tiannan County, the home of the Lang family. The terrain is complex and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Tian Nan, how much is it actually worth? What's more, the strength of the Lang family has already surpassed that of the Lin family~IndoMTL.com~ We don't need to make enemies with the Lang family just to please the Lin family, right?" Ling Tianfang didn't care about Wufeng's personal feelings at all. , only analyze the gains and losses from a purely military point of view.

It should be said that what Ling Tianfang said is not unreasonable. From a purely military point of view, the southern route should be the best choice, but when Lin Yuexin is involved, Wufeng feels conflicted. Lin Yuexin's identity has created a deep gap between him and her. Lin Guoxiong has two sons, so he hopes to expand the Lin family's foundation, but it is impossible for him and his subordinates to create such a career for a woman And giving up, this irreconcilable contradiction is also the most important factor for Wufeng to hesitate. Thinking about the possibility of fighting on the battlefield with the woman he likes, her father and brother may even become his own ghosts, Wufeng really can't think of how he should face it at that time.

The study suddenly fell silent, Ling Tianfang didn't say anything, Xiao Tang and Su Qin also turned their eyes to other places, they all vaguely knew the subtle relationship between their boss and that beautiful Lin family think tank, just Good luck tricks people, God made the two fall in love at first sight, and cherish each other, but let the two face the situation of facing each other.

Seeing that the boss was silent, he was obviously unwilling to accept his suggestion of the southern route. Ling Tianfang had no choice but to choose the northern route besides the southern route. Disadvantages must be avoided and eliminated through various means, and the choice of time and timing is also restricted by many external factors, which will affect the flexibility of Northwest military means. The phenomenon of interference by external forces mentioned by Su Qin, especially in the current situation where the Kamans and Puers have been sharpening their knives.
