Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 107: The Eve

Situ Lang listened to the report of the gendarmerie officer who came to report with a livid face. The search operation did not yield any valuable results. Judging from the personnel left behind by the two brothers, the two brothers should have done it at least a week ago. After making all kinds of preparations, I learned from the captured left-behind personnel that the two brothers hadn't been seen at least three days ago, that is to say, as early as three days ago, the two brothers disappeared from the imperial capital at the same time. They may have returned to their respective lairs.

After waving his hand to signal the officers of the Gendarmerie to leave, Situ Lang thumped the armrest of the big chair angrily, and said bitterly, "Let them run away, it seems that we still have lost all our achievements."

Situ Yuan, who was sitting on the side, didn't change much, as if he had expected this outcome, he comforted his brother: "Ninth brother, I think the elder brother and the third brother probably left a long time ago. What these left-behind personnel saw was nothing more than their substitutes. You didn't hear their report that they only saw the appearance of the eldest brother and the third brother from a distance, and they had no contact with them at all. What does this mean? It means that the eldest brother and the third brother It's been a while since we left, even if we do it three days in advance, I'm afraid it will be rare to get one, I suspect that the elder brother left the imperial capital after the meeting a week ago."

"Seventh brother is right, the eldest brother and the third brother are not fuel-efficient lamps. They will find a way to get out as soon as they smell something wrong. Maybe it's our wishful thinking." Situ Lang glanced at his elder brother quietly, He wondered if the escape of the other two brothers was because his seventh brother deliberately leaked the secret, but when he saw the other party mentioning it, he thought about it now that the eldest brother's army is confronting his army in the East China Sea. Wouldn't be so ignorant?

"Hmph, it's good for them to go back. If they really want to stay in the imperial capital, there's no guarantee that something will happen. As long as the two of them are in the capital, some guys will be vacillating." Situ Yuan also felt a little regretful. Letting these two elder brothers flee back to their lair, my territory in the south of the Yangtze River and the East China Sea will be threatened from the north and the west, and I will have to rely more on the army in Situ Lang's hands. People are disappointed, and lost a division as soon as they came into contact with the big brother's troops. It seems that the combat effectiveness of these new troops that have not gone through the battle is really not reassuring.

"Oh, that's all there is to it. As long as tomorrow is over, everything will become clear. Those who should show up will show up, and Ga's head will also show up. That's right, so you don't have to fight in secret Go, everything will be easier to deal with in the light." Situ Lang also let out a sigh of relief and stretched himself.

"Well, everything is ready for tomorrow. As soon as the decision of the military and political committee comes out, the ninth brother can be enthroned as emperor. The seventh brother is here to congratulate the ninth brother in advance. After tomorrow, the seventh brother will be called Your Majesty the Ninth Brother, the title of this brother can no longer be used." Situ Yuan smiled slightly and bowed his hands.

Situ Lang couldn't express the indescribable benefit in his heart. He could only say humbly: "It all depends on Brother Seven's support. You and I should belong to brothers. It's better to be called brothers when we come down."

Situ Yuan shook his head noncommittally, but changed the topic aside, "How does the Ninth Brother arrange the Northwest Army's actions?"

"Li Wufeng is a master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles. If he wants to send troops to Qinghe, he must wait until he has taken Hanzhong and Jincheng. If he wants to send troops to Qinghe now, he will definitely use There are various reasons.” Situ Lang pondered for a while before he said: “Fortunately, the Kamans’ offensive has slowed down now, and the defense lines of the Third Army and the Fourth Army have been fully consolidated, and the Kamanians are also worried. The Northwest Army to the west of Qinghe dare not attack eastward at will, and the imperial capital is not in any danger for the time being.”

"Ninth Brother really intends to hand over Kansai to Li Wufeng?" Situ Yuan asked rhetorically.

"So what if I don't hand it over to him? Now that he has controlled the four mansions in his hands, with his character, would he still spit out the fat he swallowed? The other two mansions are in the hands of the third brother, so it's better He generously handed over the control of the two prefectures to him, and asked his Northwest Army to touch the army in the hands of the third brother. It's a good thing to say, and it would be better if we could fight to the detriment of both." Situ Lang showed a sinister smile on his face, "The third brother now only controls the third mansion in Wuhu county and the second mansion in Kansai, and he will definitely not give up easily. Isn't it exactly what we expect to see in the two prefectures of the west and the west?"

Shaking his head, Situ Yuan's face became more worried, "Ninth brother, I think you are too optimistic. Li Wufeng is not a good person, and his Northwest Army is an army of tigers and wolves. The third brother's army may not be his opponent. , I think it may not be long before Kansai will truly become his territory."

"But under the current situation, this is the only way to go. If he really occupies Hanzhong and Jincheng, he will definitely put a lot of pressure on the third brother in Wuhu and restrain a large number of troops. At that time, if the eighth brother , The Ninth Legion can join forces with the Seventh Legion to recapture the Five Lakes." Situ Lang also sighed and stroked his forehead, obviously not having a very good idea.

"Haven't you considered trapping Li Wufeng in the imperial capital, disintegrating several of his generals for our use?" Situ Yuan pondered for a while before asking.

Raising his head and staring at his elder brother, Situ Lang couldn't understand what the other person's words meant, so he shook his head slowly and said, "Brother Seven, it's not that I haven't thought of a way, brother, I believe Brother Seven probably also I have thought about this aspect, but Li Wufeng is very good at controlling his subordinates. His few commanders who hold heavy troops will lead the way. Civil affairs absolutely do not allow the military to intervene, and it is difficult to achieve results.”

After a pause, seeing that Situ Yuan didn't seem to believe him, he said again: "Take the Kansai war zone established by Li Wufeng as an example. Although Liang Chongxin is the commander-in-chief, look at the troops under his command. In addition to the first and third divisions of the Northwest Army, which belonged to Liang Chongxin's direct line, the second division of the Northwest Army belonged to Cui Wenxiu's original direct line, He Lianbo, head of the Northern Luzon Army, and Mao Zedong, head of Tengger's third heavy cavalry division. Jin belonged to the bandits who were incorporated by Li Wufeng, while the third heavy cavalry division was formed by merging heavy cavalry from several divisions. It was developed on the basis of the Guide People's Army. As for the Second Guards Division, it was composed of troops descended from the Taixuan Mansion. The division head was a member of the martial arts sect where Li Wufeng was born as a concubine. In addition, Li Wufeng was the only one who followed suit. Nomadic cavalry, look at such a complicated army composition, and there is also a joint staff meeting established by Li Wufeng. If it is said that fighting according to Li Wufeng's order may be efficient, but it may not be easy for any commander who wants to dominate. "

Seeing Situ Lang explain the detailed military composition of Li Wufeng's Kansai theater in one breath, Situ Yuan was also secretly surprised. It seems that his brother is also a caring person. It's not so deep in general, as he said, it's just because Li Wufeng is also a caring person, so he and Situ Lang couldn't find a place to start for a while.

"Seventh Brother, isn't Seventeenth Sister engaged to Li Wufeng? Can't we find a solution from her?" Seeing that Situ Yuan was silent, Situ Lang knew that the other party might be as helpless as himself, so he asked immediately.

"Her? Forget it, Li Wufeng will believe her? I'm afraid she can't even get in touch with Li Wufeng's generals." Situ Yuan smiled wryly and shook his head, "However, Li Wufeng has no heirs so far. His weakness, if he is trapped in the imperial capital now, I believe that we may not see any results in a short period of time, but over time, we still have a chance."

"Long time? How long can we drag him here? What if he asks to go back to Northwest or Kansai~IndoMTL.com~?" Situ Lang didn't have much confidence in this.

"Then there is only one way." Situ Yuan spread his hands, with a gloomy murderous look on his face.

"But Seventh Brother, have you considered the consequences? If you kill him, his power will definitely go to Third Brother. After all, they have a close relationship, and Li Wufeng's generals will definitely treat us very emotionally. Hostile, we will only be self-defeating in this way, and we have done third brother a big favor for nothing." Situ Lang shuddered in his heart and replied calmly. My seventh brother is a good idea. The emperor is his own territory. If something goes wrong, he is naturally responsible. Once the situation gets out of control, maybe he will immediately distance himself from him and take the opportunity to push himself. Maybe, I will become the one to be interpreted by the public.

"Then how about we play the trick of blaming others?" Situ Yuan still didn't give up.

"Seventh brother, you are joking, will Li Wufeng's subordinates believe it?" Situ Lang shook his head decisively and rejected the proposal of his ulterior brother.

"That's true. Li Wufeng seems to have some skills. He firmly controls the generals and officials under him. There is no one who can replace him. If he really dies in the imperial capital, These guys will really turn to the third brother if they don't make it right, and the third brother will be cheap for nothing." Situ Yuan saw that Situ Lang's attitude was very firm, so he had to withdraw his proposal, "Only in this way, Li Wufeng's power will be strengthened, the ninth brother, You have to think about it carefully."

Situ Lang was also a little troubled. This Li Wufeng could not be killed, and he had such a large army loyal to him in his hands. In the future, my confidant's serious troubles are only so worrying at this moment.
