Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 102 Interview (revised)
Seeing Situ Yuan's disappearing figure, Wufeng's face gradually darkened. The other party's behavior is clearly a hint that the matter has reached the most critical moment. Maybe the battle for the throne is just a few days away. . The Third Legion and the remnants of the City Guards Legion have firmly strangled the Kaman people coming along the southeast corner of the Qinghe River. In the past few days, a large number of civilians and supplies have been rushing far to the northwest of the imperial capital. To build a strong fortress, if the Kaman people want to attack the imperial capital, they have to pull out this nail, or they have to go south through Montenegro, Jinzhong and east. The Kaman people also suffered a lot of losses in Qinghe Mansion, and there are two corps under the city of Cangzhou. It is impossible to break through the northwest defense line of the imperial capital in a short time. Once the external crisis subsides, the internal affairs should be put on the agenda.
Situ Yuan clearly reached a certain compromise with Situ Lang, otherwise Situ Yuan would not be so arrogant in the imperial capital. Tough, there must be tricks behind it. To be able to lure and seduce him in a clear way, he must have a hole card in his hand that is enough to tempt him, but for now, he and Situ Lang and Situ Yuan have no interest in each other, so what will they use to buy themselves off? Hanzhong and Jincheng? Let yourself be in charge of the whole county of Kansai and the three prefectures of Beiyuan (Lulong, Anyuan and Pinglu)? Even give yourself an actual throne?
For a moment, Wufeng's mind was full of chaos, and his expression was also changing. He didn't even pay attention to the person walking slowly beside him.
"Master Li, what's on your mind?" The etiquette officer looked curiously at the absent-minded young man in front of him. Hearing that this man was secretly engaged to Angel, who was as famous as her, Zhu Zimei felt deeply in her heart. I really admire this person. At the beginning when she heard that this person was engaged to the Seventeenth Princess, Zhu Zimei was full of contempt for this person in her heart. She could abandon everything for the sake of profit. This kind of person is not worth paying attention to at all. After there were rumors of a secret engagement with Angel, I also asked Angel personally, but Angel made excuses with words that neither denied nor affirmed, but I still feel much better about this person.
"Oh, Mr. Etiquette Officer, it's nothing. It's just that I just talked about some current affairs with His Highness the Seventh Prince, and I have some feelings for a while." Wu Feng took a closer look and quickly covered it up.
"Oh? I don't know if His Highness the Seventh Highness is talking about the joint invasion of the Kamanians and Puer people with Lord Li? Your Excellency has made great achievements in battle, so you must have a different view of this war than ordinary people?" Zhu Zimei laughed Yingying asked.
"Ah, yes, this..." I didn't expect that my casual remark would cause the other party to ask the bottom line, Wufeng scratched his head, and had to think carefully before saying: "Well, Although the Kamans and Puers are coming fiercely, the empire has already slowed down. The Third Army and the City Guards are fully capable of guarding the northwest gate of the imperial capital, and Cangzhou is also an important gateway to the north of the empire. I believe that the Kamans alone rely on It is difficult for the two corps to conquer Cangzhou. The center of gravity of the Puer people is in Beiping, but Beiping is the capital of Yanyun. Over the years of construction, Beiping has become the city with the defense system of the northern cities of the empire second only to the imperial capital. As long as the first army can last for two months, Then send a small group of mobile troops to harass their logistics replenishment channel, so that they can't supply smoothly. In the spring of next year, there is no need for a counterattack, and the Puer people will withdraw their troops. For the past few years, the Puer people have been thinking about the famine and relying on borrowing to live. They have nothing at all. So much food and finances to support a battle of this scale."
"In Master Li's view, the Kamanians and Puer people will never have the chance to attack the imperial capital?" Xiao Ben desperately remembered something.
Wufeng immediately became vigilant. He seemed to have some memories of this occasion, which reminded him of some unpleasant experiences.
"Who are you?" His mouth was tightly closed immediately, and his eyes were fixed on the other party like a bayonet without a sharp edge.
"Master Li, I am a reporter from "Imperial News". It is a great honor to have the opportunity to listen to Mr. Li's views on the current situation today. I hope that Mr. Li can answer my question just now." The young man couldn't wait replied, with fanatical admiration in his eyes.
Wufeng's face suddenly sank, "I'm sorry, this is a business reception, I don't accept news interviews."
"Master Li, you have to give me a chance no matter what. Please answer a few questions for me, please." The young man panicked when he saw this opportunity. Then the editor-in-chief would have to fire himself immediately.
Seeing the young reporter looking at her begging for help, Zhu Zimei's heart softened, not to mention the negative and depressed remarks have been rampant recently, she also wanted to hear the words of the first military commander of the empire who was called the **** of war in the empire Opinion, "Master Li, you might as well tell us your opinion. I think so many guests around you are probably very concerned about this war that concerns the fate of the empire. Everyone also wants to hear your opinion on this matter, um, I would also like to know your answer to this gentleman's question."
Reluctantly scratching his head again, facing the courtesy officer who was always cold in front of him but smiling softly, Wu Feng couldn't harden his heart to refuse anyway, but in view of what happened a few years ago, Wu Feng had to be careful: "Well, this, but I have something to say first, today I will only talk about my personal views on the current situation, and don't ask me personal questions, otherwise I will refuse to answer."
Seeing Wufeng being so cautious, Zhu Zimei couldn't help but chuckle. She also heard that Wufeng was intercepted by reporters when he first came to Beijing a few years ago. Got a phobia. Her smile can be described as a smile that looks back at Bai Meisheng, Liugong Fendai is colorless, Wufeng and the guests who are slowly swarming around are all at a loss, not knowing what to do. It took Wufeng a long time to come back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and woke up a group of people from their trance with a dry cough.
"Well, what this gentleman asked just now is actually a question with two directions. One is whether the Kamans will attack the imperial capital from Heshuo, and the other is whether the Kamans can break through the northern gate. He Now Shuo has concentrated all the elites of the Taiping Rebellion Party, especially after Qinghe's Taiping Army retreated into Heshuo, the strength of the Taiping Army has been strengthened in a short period of time, and the Taiping Army is not as aggressive as it was when it was attacked by the Kamans. Generally unprepared, it is impossible for the Kaman people to easily defeat the Taiping Army. The Kaman people's attack on the northern side of Cangzhou is more dangerous. After all, they fought very well in the north, and the empire's first The performance of the Second Army Corps is not good, but Cangzhou is the outer gateway of the imperial capital. I believe that the army of the Northern Military Region is aware of this. They will not let the Kamanians go. Even if Cangzhou falls, there will be Hulao Pass guarded by the Fourth Imperial Army Corps and the Imperial Guards. Natural moat, I believe that the Kamanians will not be able to pass forever. So I think the most critical time is the next two to three months, if we can survive this period, both the Kamanians and the Poole people will be forced to retreat.”
"According to what you said, my lord, will the Taiping rebels in the west not attack the imperial capital?" The young reporter asked the second question while recording quickly.
"I can't say it's absolutely impossible, but according to the current situation of the Taiping Rebellion Army, I personally think that they are unlikely to have the strength to attack the imperial capital, unless their leader is insane." Wufeng replied after deliberation.
"I heard that the Northwest Army under your command has conquered Pinglu, Master Li. Where will the Northwest Army's next goal be? Should it regain Anyuan or attack Qinghe to relieve the pressure on the imperial capital? The people of the imperial capital are looking forward to your unremitting efforts to strike again." Get back the Kamanians." Contrary to the pleading attitude at that time ~IndoMTL.com~ The young reporter now appeared aggressive.
Wufeng already knew that this question would be asked sooner or later. This is what many military and government officials in the imperial capital wanted to know, but even Wufeng himself could not answer this question. The back of the Qinghe occupied by the Kaman people directly threatens the back of the Kaman people, but according to the original plan, the Northwest Army should turn its guns to the east after occupying Anyuan. Now the Anyuan Taiping Army is still stubborn, and the situation in Pinglu is also It was not stable, there were small riots and uprisings constantly, out of consideration for the stability of the situation, Liang Chongxin did not agree with Mulige and Shanzhu's plan to attack Anyuan as soon as possible, and Wufeng himself supported Liang Chongxin's opinion, Anyuan is a hilly mansion, Food is already difficult to support itself. If it is delayed until next year's spring famine, there will definitely be a food shortage in Anyuan, and the surrounding area of Anyuan is already under his own control. Tens of thousands of Taiping troops will soon fall into chaos. By then, taking Anyuan will be a matter of course. Why bother? How about carrying this burden at this time?
"This question needs to be decided according to the actual situation, because I have left the Northwest for more than a month, and now I don't know the specific situation in the Northwest Army, but if I say this, it will definitely make many people dissatisfied , I wonder if Li wants to avoid the edge of the Kamanians and preserve his strength. Here, Li can boast that if the empire thinks that the Northwest Army's eastward attack can relieve the pressure on the imperial capital, Li will never postpone it. Since Li is The vassals of the empire will naturally focus on the overall situation, even if they pay some price." Seeing the sly look in the other party's eyes, Wu Feng knew that he had fallen for the other party's trap, whether it was the beautiful etiquette officer who joined hands with this guy Putting himself on the high platform to smoke, Li Wufeng was a little suspicious, and his eyes turned back and forth on the faces of the two of them.
