Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 58 Ants in a Hot Pot

"Kluve, it's not as simple as you think, at least we don't have the ability for now, unless we can wait for a suitable time." The young man's eyes flashed with wisdom, and his face was slightly stern. Feeling lonely and helpless, "Li Wufeng's current strength cannot be shaken by our family. The power he has deployed in the Central Continent is completely sufficient to deal with us. We can only wait for now. I have been thinking about whether we should give up on Beilu. Shouldn’t the struggle for Song’s sovereignty be set in other, more practical directions?”

Clover was startled, and asked, "Frederick, haven't you always advocated the recovery of Northern Luzon? Now that we have regained Southern Luzon, over time, we will accumulate strength and take advantage of Li Wufeng's main energy When it comes to the Tanghe Empire's civil war, we can definitely take back Northern Luzon!"

"Kruf, I don't doubt that we can take back Northern Luzon when Li Wufeng is caught in the Tanghe Empire's civil war, but what if Li Wufeng wins the Tanghe Empire's civil war? I think according to Li Wufeng's current posture, Tanghe The River Empire will change its surname to Li sooner or later, once Li Wufeng gains control of the Tang River Empire and invades with the strength of the Tang River Empire, can we still stand firm in Northern Luzon?" Shaking his head, the young man had a gloomy expression on his face. It is even more obvious, "If we want to regain control of Northern Luzon, it depends on Li Wufeng himself, not on us. If Li Wufeng loses in the Tanghe Empire's civil war and his strength is weakened, we can go north to regain Northern Luzon, or even Directly send troops to the Western Regions, help the countries in the Western Regions to overthrow Li Wufeng’s rule in the Western Regions, and completely attack Li Wufeng’s power in the Central Continent. I think that in addition to the local forces of the Western Regions, the Luobei people will also be our reliable allies.”

"Weakening Li Wufeng's power in Central China is equivalent to cutting off Li Wufeng's weak but useful left hand, which will in turn greatly affect Li Wufeng's power in the Tanghe Empire's civil war. If you are tired, I think the Sithro, the Kaman, and the Machihans will not give up this opportunity easily, and they will definitely rush up and take a bite. Even nomads like the Mot will have a different heart. This is our chance." Frederick's words were obviously after a long time of deliberation, "Alas, we in Luzon have lost too many opportunities. If we can make it ten years earlier, the Western Regions and even India will be In our sphere of influence in Luzon, how can it be Li Wufeng's turn to dominate?"

"Then what if Li Wufeng wins the Tanghe Empire's civil war? Doesn't that mean we have no chance at all?" Cruff wrinkled his forehead and asked.

"Where will there be any chance for us if Li Wufeng wins? Then his command of power will be further strengthened, and it will not be easy for us to maintain the status quo. So we have to find ways to create trouble for Li Wufeng, hold him back, and try our best to Creating everything that could make him fail in the Tanghe Civil War." The young man squeezed a few words through his teeth.

Kluff is silent. The other party's words are not unreasonable, but they have handed over the initiative to the people of Tanghe, and they can only wait passively. As for making troubles and delaying the legs, they are just some auxiliary means, and they are still unable to deal with the other party directly. , How big can such an effect be?

Seeing that his cousin was a little disappointed, the young man pursed his lips and encouraged him: "Kluf, you don't have to be too pessimistic. Although Li Wufeng is very powerful now, he also has weaknesses. The area he rules is too large. He is big, but the economy is underdeveloped. Although there are many troops in his hand, they are mottled and impure, and he has too much appetite. He stretches thousands of miles from west to east, surrounded by powerful enemies, and the Tanghe Empire. To be honest, it is not easy to overthrow the rule of the Situ family, especially if it is even more difficult to win the hearts of the Tanghe people who have always been conservative and nostalgic. Let us wait and see. Of course, we cannot wait passively, except In addition to strengthening our own strength, we should also contact the internal forces of the Tanghe people, use our power within the Tanghe people to fan the flames, and try to point the finger at Li Wufeng, so that he will not be at peace for a moment."

The destruction of the Lang family and the change of hands of Tiannan County made everyone in the empire watch all this with trembling eyes. They can only exchange opinions in secret, but no one expresses their opinions publicly. Even His Majesty the emperor has not expressed his position on this matter, and he has not even revealed his tendentious tone, and the courtiers have no choice but to keep their mouths shut. But one thing is for sure, the strength displayed by the Northwest Army has made almost everyone realize the strength of military power in Li Wufeng's hands again. They swept across Tiannan and Burma within half a month. The ashes disappeared neatly, without the slightest suspense. What Li Wufeng planned to do, this is probably the question that every courtier of the imperial capital secretly ponders.

Situ Lang couldn't sleep at night. The dire situation made him restless. Lying on the bed, various chaotic scenes flashed through his mind. After finally falling asleep, he was awakened by the nightmare from time to time, with cold sweat on his back, Kaman's blade, elder brother's spearhead, and Li Wufeng's sword, all pierced his heart. Looking around, he couldn't find a capable minister who could relieve his worries. Situ Lang even wondered what the reason for taking this position was after all the troubles.

Looking at the top of the Huangluo tent in a daze, the young Emperor His Majesty was full of thoughts at this time, and he tried everything but could not open the situation. Nothing left, only endless troubles and troubles. The East China Sea has completely fallen into the hands of the eldest brother. Jinling finally fell half a month ago. My seventh brother couldn't sit still any longer. There is no one who can talk.

"Your Majesty, why haven't you slept yet? It's late at night, you should go to bed earlier." The beautiful woman beside her whispered in her ear. She could sense the upset mood of the man beside her. During the time, the man beside her has been frowning, and even her interest in **** has become much less, and she sighed all day long, but as a woman, she can only do her best to please her husband, but she cannot give her husband in other ways. more help.

"Well, I can't sleep. The country's affairs are getting tighter, and I have a responsibility." Situ Lang patted the shoulder of the woman beside him and said sadly: "Brother is making a big move in the east, Brother Seven is already weak, and I'm worried about him If you bring in the troubles of the Milanese, you will never be able to drive them out again. Jiangnan is the most tax-heavy land in the empire, and it must not fall into the hands of others. I am now in a dilemma."

Looking at the half-comprehensive eyes of the beauty beside him, Situ Lang laughed dumbly. He was talking about state affairs with the woman and was about to finish, but he heard the beauty softly say: "Your Majesty, I see that Your Majesty is very preoccupied. The servant doesn't understand these things, but His Majesty treats the servant as an outsider and speaks out these stuffy things, and maybe His Majesty will feel better."

Facing his woman being so considerate, Situ Lang was also moved for a while. He couldn't bear to go against the other party's good intentions, and he really wanted to find someone to confide his suffering in, so he continued on his own: "The Kamanian owl It goes without saying that Xi Zhixin is now fully operating in Beiyuan in an attempt to consolidate his rule, especially the Qinghe Mansion, which has become a poisonous thorn at the gate of the imperial capital. I really want to remove it, but the city guards are in ruins Unbearable, the Third Legion fears the enemy like a tiger, and it is difficult to take on the big task, which makes me deeply disappointed."

"Your Majesty, isn't there another Li Wufeng? Why not let him fight the Kamans?" Liren asked casually as she leaned against the young emperor ~IndoMTL.com~ Huh? Concubine Ai, how do you know Li Wufeng? "Situ Lang's heart trembled, and he turned his head to ask, and his expectations suddenly became serious.

"Your Majesty, although this servant is in the deep palace, she can still hear some gossip, and the newspapers during this time are also saying that Li Wufeng is attacking Tiannan, conquering Myanmar and rebelling? The servant thinks, since he Why can't you share your majesty's worries when you have the strength to fight against the rebels?" Li Ren seemed to be unable to hear what she said without intention.

"Hmph, if that Li Wufeng really listened to me like this, then I really want to kowtow and bow to thank God. I'm a bit embarrassed to refuse my King Qin's conferment, but want to be the protector of the Western Border Protectorate." I can't figure out what is going on in his mind." Situ Lang showed a lost look on his face.

"Your Majesty, Princess Yushuang is famous all over the imperial capital. Why doesn't Your Majesty discuss it with her? She is His Majesty's biological younger sister, and I believe that she can help His Majesty solve problems." Li Ren thought for a while and offered her own suggestion.

"Thirteen?" Situ Lang was taken aback for a moment, yes, everyone in Beijing knows the resourcefulness of the thirteenth princess, yo, she is his sister with the same father and mother, and she should stand with him both emotionally and rationally. On the same front, but it seems that the relationship between himself and this sister has become more and more estranged over time? Situ Lang actually knew the reason. Since he rejected the other party's proposal to reinstate He Zhiqiu, the relationship between the two has become a little cold, especially when he intended to canonize Situ Yuan as the King of Chu and Li Wufeng as the Queen of Qin. She believes that rashly canonizing the throne will only exacerbate the weakness and decline of the imperial power when the current imperial power is not stable, but how does she know her own difficulties?
