Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 33: The Truth
The atmosphere suddenly became dignified. The visitors didn't know this. The importance of Kunlun Pass needn't be said. No matter who controls this place, it is equivalent to mastering the initiative of Bashan and Xikang. , You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. You should be invincible. Right now, the other party is making such an unreasonable request, directly inserting itself into the vital point, making it difficult for him to make a choice. If he refuses to agree, he is afraid that the rumbling flames of war will ignite. Stationing heavy troops in Fucheng to prevent the Northwest Army from turning their faces at any time will be quite detrimental to their own strategic situation in the future, but in this situation, do they have a choice?
The crisp sound of the cup lid hitting the teacup caught Gayu and broke the stagnation between the two of them. He already felt that if he did not agree to this condition, he was afraid that the other party would send troops to Hanzhong because of his lack of sincerity. But now Tian The southern army had just left Bashan and entered Hanzhong not long ago, and I am afraid that the situation in the basin has not yet been fully controlled. Once the northwestern army enters Hanzhong, it will attack with the Lin family. I am afraid that Master Jiedu's dream in Hanzhong will be shattered. How can he bear the responsibility of disrupting negotiations and causing war?
All kinds of thoughts were tossing and turning in the visitor's chest, but it was still difficult to make a decision. When he thought of Master Yang telling him off when he saw him off, he must hold the northwest side and not let them get involved in the Hanzhong war , but the other party put forward such a harsh condition, he couldn't help pinching his knuckles.
"If I don't agree with your conditions, what will happen to you?" These two sentences were almost squeezed out between teeth.
"I'm sorry, this is not within my scope of authority. I have no way of guessing. I can only report the results to Lord Li. As for how Lord Li will make a decision, although I don't know, your envoy is familiar with the situation and should be able to estimate it." Wang Liao's diplomatic style has always been impeccable.
There was also an unspeakable silence. It was easy to handle, and the other party asked again: "If we agree to your conditions, how can you guarantee to fulfill your promise not to intervene in the Hanzhong war?"
Hearing what the other party said, Wang Liao knew that the other party had succumbed to his tremendous pressure, and he felt relieved, and quickly said seriously: "I believe that you have seen our sincerity. We are in Surabaya. Ling and Jianmen Pass did not add a single soldier. Doesn’t that prove our sincerity? We will not enter the six towns in the north and west that we have agreed upon, and none of the other soldiers will enter Hanzhong. As for the guarantee? I think we can make such a promise. Within half a month, our troops in Xikang, Longdong, and Hanzhong will remain the same, and after fifteen days, we will take over the defense of Kunlun Pass. How about that?"
After thinking for a while, the other party finally agreed to the conditions. Half a month is enough to complete the arrangement in Hanzhong. Unprepared situation. As for Kunlun Pass, at present, the other party can only temporarily occupy it, and then make sense after the situation in Hanzhong stabilizes.
Having received the reward, Wufeng immediately issued an order to suspend the advance of several armies and stationed at Zhegu Pass and Bonan Mansion respectively to show that he kept his promise. After gaining the trust, the Tiannan Army also accelerated its deployment in Hanzhong and military operations in Lujiang. At the same time, Wang Zongxi also embarked on the road to the imperial capital as Wufeng's special envoy.
"Daddy, you should rest for a while. You haven't closed your eyes for two days and two nights. You can't stand it even if you are hard-pressed. The second uncle has already gone to Hanzhong. I believe that Hanzhong can be stabilized. The Lujiang side is over. So, it’s useless for you to worry, I believe that the elder brother will be able to save the day.” The girl in the green dress sighed slightly, and softly persuaded the old man who had been standing in front of the window, looking straight ahead, but the old man didn’t seem to hear, still Standing there motionless, the already slightly hunched back looked a little haggard and lonely.
"Daddy,..." the green-clothed girl hesitated to speak.
"Okay, Yue Xin, go and rest. Don't worry, Daddy is not as fragile as you imagined. He can still hold on. The battle situation is critical, and I can't sleep. Why don't you just stay here and be quiet for a while." The old man finally spoke back.
"Why don't I ask them to give you a bowl of white fungus soup. You haven't eaten anything in the past two days." The green-clothed girl knew that her father was very anxious at this time, but the changes in the frontline battle were uncontrollable. No matter how worried you are, there is nothing you can do, you can only calmly wait for the news to come, but the green-clothed girl also knows that even if there is news, it may be bad news, which will only make her father sad and anxious. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. This is the classic saying of the predecessors, but many people are in the game, but they are always unwilling to believe it. The girl quietly lowered her head and sighed again.
"Yuexin, why do you think Lang Yongquan is so bold this time, he dared to divide his troops into Lujiang and Hanzhong? Isn't he afraid that his appetite will be too long and the battle line will be too long, which will kill him?" Lin Guoxiong turned around. His face was still full of unwillingness, and his bloodshot eyes were full of suspicion, "Could it be that Li Wufeng also allowed him to enter Hanzhong like this?"
The girl in emerald clothes didn't want to answer these questions from her father. Thinking that Lang Yongquan is still Lang Yongquan a few years ago, and still can't believe the qualitative leap in the opponent's strength over the past few years, what can she say?
But seeing her father's bewildered and unwilling eyes mixed with a hint of worry and even fear, the green-clothed girl had no choice but to tear apart the other's dream: "Daddy, times have changed, and the existence and change of every thing is like sailing against the current." If you don't advance, you will retreat. The Lang family has developed vigorously in Burma in recent years. Not only has its economic strength increased greatly, but it has also won the support of the local Tu ethnic forces. The members of the Wen family not only joined the Lang family, but also became important General, in command of the newly formed Burmese Army. According to intelligence, Lang Yongquan has approved the formation of a complete Burmese Army, which has completed its formation and is quite strong! Moreover, there are no major foreign threats around the Lang family. He can concentrate on developing the economy and growing in the rear. strength, while the front line is looking for opportunities to move, and my daughter made a preliminary estimate. So far, the Lang family's available troops have reached more than 450,000, not including other guards such as Bashan and Burma. Reserve Army."
"On the other hand, we occupied Northern Rhonesia, not only failed to integrate it with Sanjiang Ben County, but also turned against the local local forces, making it a drag on us, and the Machihans invaded Kanten even stuck a dagger in the back of Northern Rhonesia, leaving us in a dilemma. Northern Rhonesia has become a huge burden for us. It is a pity to lose it, but it has dragged us a lot Vigorous strength. Although the success of Lujiang and Hanzhong has greatly increased our momentum, it has also exposed our hidden strength, making the forces around us even more vigilant and alert to us. If it is used by our side, we still need to station a large number of troops to control and defend. The comparison between the two has already put us at an absolute disadvantage compared to the Lang family! In this case, if the Lang family does not launch a war against us Attack, that is a miracle!"
Every sentence of Lin Yuexin's remonstrance pierced the old man's heart like a steel needle. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't find any basis. For a while, except for the sound of heavy breathing, the room became extremely quiet.
Lin Yuexin knew that these words hurt her father's heart, but she had to shatter her father's dream. The cruel reality is already like this. Does it have to be proved by **** facts and a heavy price? She has been merciful~IndoMTL.com~My elder brother is clearly not a general in charge of a military power, but his father insists on letting him take on important responsibilities, saying that he should be given more opportunities to hone his skills, from Northern Rhonesia to Lujiang , which one does not make the sky angry? In Lujiang, the army was transferred from Cuiping Pass without authorization, causing the Tiannan Army to break through from Cuiping Pass, and the situation in Lujiang was passive. This was obviously a major mistake, but my father kept silent, even the other generals in the army Feeling this, but as a daughter and sister, what can I do?
"Yue Xin, this is not the time to talk about these issues. If you have an opinion, we can discuss it after the war. I want to ask you, how should we restore the current decline and minimize our Loss?" Lin Guoxiong's tone was obviously displeased, and his attitude was also a little blunt.
Sighing secretly, Lin Yuexin found that her father seemed to be more and more stubborn and intolerant of different opinions as she grew older. Brother seems to be strikingly similar to the current father in this point, but she can't do anything about it.
"Daddy, do you want to hear the truth?" Lin Yuexin didn't have too many scruples at this time.
"Yue Xin, what do you mean by that? Could it be that daddy won't listen to the truth when?" Lin Guoxiong suddenly changed his expression and asked sharply.
"Well, my daughter's opinion is to give up Lujiang and Northern Rhonesia to avoid unnecessary losses. The Lin family can no longer afford such losses. If Hanzhong can reach a compromise with the Lang family, my daughter's opinion is In order to give up the control of Hanzhong Fucheng in exchange for the Lang family agreeing to return to Sanjiang, I am afraid that the Lang family will not agree." Lin Yuexin said unusually calmly.
