Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 37: Leading wolves to fight

"Brother Hu, the five lakes have made a lot of moves this year. His Royal Highness the King of Xiang attaches great importance to agriculture. I heard that he is vigorously dredging the river and repairing water conservancy facilities. It seems that the five lakes will definitely have a bumper harvest in spring. Ah." Su Qin finally opened the topic. The purpose of renovating the rivers in Wuhu is not purely for agriculture. This is what Su Qin knows. It is also conducive to the export of grain, and more importantly, it also greatly improves the mobilization ability of Situ Biao's army. This is Situ Biao's main purpose.

"Yes, Brother Su, although Wuhu is the main grain producing area, due to the severe drought from last year to this year, the grain production has been severely reduced, and even the local self-sufficiency of Wuhu is somewhat difficult, and we don't have the prophets like you in Western Xinjiang You can only make up for your lack of ability with hard work." The literati surnamed Hu also responded with a smile, before getting into deep-seated topics, these government affairs can often play a role in easing the atmosphere and linking the past and the future.

"The preparatory meeting will be held in the afternoon. Although the external stability of the empire has improved, there are many internal worries, especially after last year's drought. It will only become more and more difficult, but foreign enemies have been spying on the empire, and once they have the opportunity, they will definitely attack the empire. I don’t know if the kings will only have any good suggestions this time.” Su Qin didn’t want to go around too much. A preparatory meeting will be held in the afternoon, and representatives from Situ Tai, Situ Yuan, and the Central Committee of the Empire will all appear on the stage one after another. Although Su Qin wants to wait until the attitudes of all parties become clear before expressing his attitude, he still hopes to follow the lord's request earlier They have reached a tacit agreement with Situ Biao's forces. Even if they can't meet at this time, Su Qin and Wang Liao plan to contact Situ Biao's representatives after the afternoon to find common ground between the two sides.

"Brother Su is serious. These matters should be discussed by your highnesses. We, the subordinates, just need to arrange some procedural chores. As for these issues, we should wait until the highnesses meet. Let's discuss it." The scholar Hu surnamed thought for a while before slowly pushing forward, it seems that now is not the time to show his attitude, the best way is to get along with each other, procrastinate as long as he can, and show his side to the other party I will never be an enemy of the other party, but I can't tear myself apart with the other party. To master the fire in the middle, I really need to think carefully, and now is not the time.

Cursing the old slicker secretly, Su Qin also knew that the other party would not express his attitude so soon, so the Foreign Affairs Department sent someone to Yueyang to contact Situ Biao according to Wufeng's arrangement, but the other party was always unwilling to answer this question directly. This caused Wufeng to deploy the first army in Kansai, and the opponent's tone changed a little bit, probably because he saw that the possibility of Situ Tai's ascension to the throne increased, which was also dangerous for Wuhu, so he was willing to maintain the status quo , but this idea of ​​maintaining the status quo is only a transitional thing. Sooner or later, there needs to be a clear attitude to show that Su Qin believes that the other party will make a wise decision, but it still needs to go through some ideological struggle.

"Brother Hu is right, but we have to prepare for many things in advance. The word "preparation" of the preparatory meeting means that those of us who are subordinates should share the worries of the lords. There is a forward-looking, I think Brother Hu I probably already knew it in my heart." Su Qin nodded with a smile, and said calmly.

"Brother Su, I don't think we need to go around in circles. I really can't give Brother Su a definite answer now, but I think both of us will understand soon, and you don't have to force Brother anymore." Su Qin pressed every step of the way, begging for mercy helplessly.

Seeing the other party acting like this, Su Qin couldn't push him anymore. He also knew that it would be useless to force the other party now. Without Situ Biao's clear consent, the other party would definitely not reveal anything.

Watching the somewhat embarrassed figures of the two surnamed Hu disappear into the mottled offshore shore, Su Qin looked calm, while Wang Liao was thoughtful.

"Brother Su, looking at this appearance, Situ Biao hasn't made up his mind yet? Or did he intend to make this appearance to ask for a price?"

"Hmph, I'm afraid it's both. The strength we show has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that Situ Biao dare not join the Situ family's alliance camp casually, because once he joins, he will first face He may be the swordsman of Xijiang, but he is not willing to stand on the same front with us. Once the alliance between Situ Tai and Situ Yushuang is broken by us, I am afraid that he can imagine his own end. I am afraid that what he hopes most is We can keep entangled with each other forever, this is the situation he tried his best to promote, but it is a bit difficult." Su Qin looked at the water shadow and sky light in the distance, and the ripples seemed to be ripples on the jasper emerald pool, truly nice.

"Hmph, maybe we should take some action, otherwise it's not a solution to procrastinate." Wang Liao raised his eyebrows and said.

"Don't worry, I discussed with His Highness on the way, and His Highness's opinion may as well be postponed, we also need time to take a breath, not only the rest of the army, but also some of our arrangements in the interior of the empire. It is not yet in place, and needs to be further improved. There is also a financial aspect, which has been consumed too much for more than a year. The money can only be supported, and there are many places that need to be digested. Fortunately, we have a lot of land and people, otherwise it will be really troublesome if we have indigestion like the Machihan people." Su Qin thought about it Words, "However, His Highness also said that it can't be delayed for too long. We took a breath after too long, and the enemy is also recovering. I thought this year would be a disaster year. It didn't seem like it. This Xiaochun only Some areas have been affected by the disaster, and many places have already had a bumper harvest, but in the spring, who can say clearly?"

"Then His Highness's opinion is that we should do it before the spring harvest?" It's not that Wang Liao is not clear about this kind of military issue, but he has always been unwilling to ask about things he shouldn't know, so he didn't bother to ask. learn.

"Well, that's what it means. His Highness is hesitant or undecided. He hasn't made a clear statement on who to choose as the first target. Maybe he wants to wait until after this meeting to make a decision. Let's go."

Su Qin was also vacillating on this issue. In his opinion, Situ Biao was undoubtedly the weak in the middle, the most suitable for annihilation and annexation, but Situ Biao had good people in the Wuhu area. Biao completely fell to Situ Tai's alliance, and would also unite the Situ family and the great nobles of the empire with the landlords, aristocrats, and industrial and commercial forces of the five lakes. The disintegration strategy is followed by Situ Tai. Although Situ Tai's military power is strong, attacking him will not lose too much points in the hearts of the people, and even win some praise, but the disadvantage is that Situ Tai's military power is not only strong, but also goes to the end The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, like Dorton and the Japanese, I am afraid that they will directly intervene by force, and even cause dominoes of external forces to intervene. This is probably what His Highness is concerned about, and the Imperial Central Department and Situ Biao may also join at a critical moment. The battle may become protracted, which is also what Wufeng does not want to see.

Su Qin and Wang Liao still couldn't figure out what their lord's intentions were, so what was Li Wufeng thinking about?

"Yue Xin, tell me, if we don't go to Beijing, will Situ Yushuang be so anxious that he can't sleep?" Seeing a black line, Wufeng held the thick wooden stake of the gate with great interest, the rough bark was a little thorny.

"I'm afraid it's not just her who is anxious in the end. Everyone wants to understand the other party's intentions through this meeting, or get some kind of commitment, or form some kind of alliance~IndoMTL.com~Even us are no exception, this meeting If you really want such a silent miscarriage, do you dare to say that only she will be disappointed?" Lin Yuexin pursed her lips and said leisurely, "Things always have a result, what should come will always come, why should we be afraid?"

"Fear, is there anything in the world that Li Wufeng is afraid of? I just don't want to let the entire Tanghe Empire be turned into ruins in my hands. After all, it is the crystallization of the civilization of our Tang people for hundreds of years. The smallest cost is obtained, so why destroy it? Of course, except when there is no other way." Wufeng waved his hand, and a stone in his hand suddenly flew out, shooting directly tens of meters away, and laughed loudly.

"But how can you solve the current chess game?" Lin Yuexin was not overwhelmed by the other party's rhetoric, and asked with a chuckle.

"Yue Xin, everyone is ambitious, but some people can control his ambition very well, while some people can't see through the things behind their ambition. Tell me what Situ Biao is thinking now, and his The elder brother formed an alliance, no matter what the final outcome is, he has no part in the throne, and it is even impossible for a separate party to become a prince, so let's not form an alliance. If we really want to destroy Situ Tai, I am afraid it will be his turn in the next step. He won't fail to see it. What do you think he should do now? Stay neutral, cause us to fight Situ Tai, and wait for the opportunity to join one side? Doesn't he have other ideas?" Wufeng showed a mysterious smile on his face.

"Oh? You mean he has other ideas?" Lin Yuexin raised her beautiful willow eyebrows.

"Yue Xin, you seem to have forgotten that there is another guy who plays an important role between Situ Tai and Situ Biao." Clapping his hands, Wufeng was extremely happy.

"Cheng Dayou?!" Three words jumped out of Lin Yuexin's mouth.
