Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 120: Calculation

Linghu Yi was shocked again, and couldn't help but said: "Sir, do we really want to attack Longdong alone? It will be a hard battle. Didn't you say that you hope to get the support of Situ Jun from the east before you start?" Is it?"

Shaking his head slowly but firmly, Wufeng sighed, "I'm afraid it's too late. According to the intelligence analysis from the Heshuo area, the main army of the empire has suffered the worst damage in history in the Heshuo area. The two armies of the western military region of the empire have basically lost their combat effectiveness. I am afraid that there is no chance to return to Heshuo. Of course, the Taiping army has suffered a lot, but they have a strong foundation of contacts and can be replenished immediately. Come on, we will no longer have the opportunity to control the throat of Longdong. Compared with Hanzhong, the importance of Longdong to us at present should be more realistic. If we control Longdong, it will not only affect Lulong's The defense played a role in echoing each other, and blocked the Taiping Army in Hanzhong in the pocket of Kansai, and we also had a passage leading to the southern part of the empire along the Jincheng Mansion eastward, which is especially important.”

"The passage leading to the southern part of the empire?" Linghu Yi repeated, and his puzzled eyes returned to Wu Feng's face, obviously not understanding the importance of this point.

"You can't see it now, but in the near future we will take Longdong, and you will know where the joints are." Wufeng's usual smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Don't underestimate this passage, As the Taiping Army grows stronger, maybe this is a golden road. The golden road from the empire to our controlled area!"

"But the Taiping Army doesn't seem to have cut off the trade route?" Linghu Yi still couldn't understand, "Now our merchants can go to the interior of the empire through the Taiping Army-controlled area, at most it's because of more taxes. Just a few, it doesn't seem to have much impact."

"You will understand after a while. Now the power of the Taiping Sect is approaching the imperial capital and the two counties of Wuhu and Donghai, and even threatening Jiangnan. The nearby Wuhu and Donghai counties also caused panic. Now the only place where the empire looks a little safer is Jiangnan County, our Northwest and North Luzon, and the areas controlled by Lin Lang. The nature of businessmen is to seek profit. It will not let those rich funds hide in the warehouse and grow moldy, but Jiangnan is originally a place where wealthy businessmen gather, and it belongs to the area where sufficient funds need to be exported. The influx of these funds cannot be absorbed at all, and the area controlled by the Lin family is under the control of the Maqihan people Under the threat of the threat, although there is no major war for the time being, sensitive businessmen will not fail to notice this; and the conditions of the Lang family are quite good, especially Burma, which is also an area that is in urgent need of development, so they will They compete with us, and merchants attach great importance to whether the trade routes are in a smooth and peaceful state. If we can't control Longdong, then our progress may be blocked by the Taiping Sect at any time, or be strangled by the Lang family at any time. Wait, in such a situation, those sharp-eyed businessmen will not be unable to see clearly, and it will greatly limit their enthusiasm for investment in the Northwest and North Luzon, so we are bound to win the city of Longdong!" Wu Wu Feng wanted to make himself, a loyal subordinate, mature politically as soon as possible, so he spared no effort to explain the reasoning here to let the other party understand.

"But Jincheng is in the hands of Situ Jun. Didn't he also jam our throats?" Linghu Yi asked further, not satisfied.

"The situation is different. At least for now, Situ Jun still represents the empire. Although he is only a prince, he is fundamentally different from the Taiping sect, or the Lin Lang family. He belongs to the empire. Besides, Situ Jun won't break faces with us in a short period of time, and maybe we will form a short-term alliance at some point, so it shouldn't have much influence on this point." Wu Feng explained with a smile.

After thinking about it for a while, Linghuyi no longer doubted Wufeng's determination to attack Longdong. As an intelligence officer, he should provide as much information as possible for the commander to make a decision before making a decision, and he could even make some suggestions. The coach made a decision, and he could only obey even if he objected in his heart, and he had to put aside his personal emotions to provide the most accurate and fast intelligence and analysis for the coach's goals. What needs to be done now is to collect all aspects of Longdong's situation as soon as possible, so as to provide the boss with the correct choice for the upcoming decisive battle.

Sanjiang and Tiannan, who sent to the Imperial Gazette almost at the same time, were worried about the sudden huge reward offered by the Empire.

"Hanzhong Longdong's franchise control and prince title, **** ho, this is a rare big deal for the empire. How could His Majesty the Emperor and He Zhiqiu, an old man, suddenly think about it? Are you not afraid, my lord? Becoming a vassal of the separatist side?" Yang Mubai twitched the beard under his chin, pondering every single word of the imperial communiqué that was just delivered, "Well, the communiqué is still in plain text, but the communiqué doesn't mention Hanzhong and Longdong. About the control right?"

"Mubai, are you really confused or pretending to be confused? No matter how weak the empire is, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to write such things that would arouse the public indignation of the courtiers, right? Isn't that giving people a handle?" The middle-aged man in the navy blue Tang suit seemed not very interested in the bulletin sent by the empire, and the expression on his face was also so elusive, "This is just a message from a secret envoy sent by the empire, so it can't be taken seriously."

"Well, the matter of the title of king is in black and white, but it's just a false name. The control of the two mansions is a real thing, but it's a pity that it hasn't been clearly stated." Yang Mubai said with some regret, blinking his eyes "It's just that this false name is very useful to us now. Once the king is crowned, not only will the control of Myanmar be justified, but it will also consolidate our rule in Bashan Prefecture."

"Well, that is to say, the bait of the empire is not too big. I just want to regain Hanzhong. I'm afraid it will not be that easy. I'm afraid it will be difficult to end without spending some money." The middle-aged man is the emperor of the empire. Lang Yongquan, the military and political governor of Nanjun and the governor of Burma, always seems to be covered by some kind of mist in his deep eyes, making it difficult for people to see through them at a glance, "Not to mention that there are two wolves staring at us on both sides."

"Lin Guoxiong, an old man, will naturally not give up easily, but Li Wufeng, I think he may not be able to get his hands on Hanzhong. There is only a single road from Xikang to Hanzhong, and the road conditions are particularly difficult. The Jianmenguan terrain stuck in the middle The danger is second to none in the empire. If the Taiping Army hadn't been instigating the defenders in the Guanzhong, I don't know how many people would have to be killed or injured to take it down. The phrase "one man guards the pass and ten thousand men don't open it" can't be more appropriate to describe it. Now the Taiping Army only It is necessary to station 3,000 people there, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Li Wufeng to use 30,000 to 50,000 troops to conquer it? Li Wufeng will not fail to see this." Yang Mubai expressed his opinion calmly.

"Then Mubai, do you think Li Wufeng is thinking about Longdong?" Lang Yongquan was noncommittal, but turned the topic to another side.

"This subordinate does not dare to assert. It stands to reason that not long after Li Wufeng took Xikang, they are still negotiating with us on the issue of prisoners and the demarcation of the sphere of influence. They also captured Lulong and mobilized a considerable force. It is estimated that The consumption will not be low. According to the judgment of his subordinates, Li Wufeng can no longer afford military operations. Apart from the exhaustion and fatigue of the army, which needs to be repaired and replenished, he can no longer afford a big battle according to common sense, but this guy His actions are often unexpected, so his subordinates dare not make rash judgments." Yang Mubai is very cautious on this point.

"It seems that Mu Bai still can't see through this guy." Lang Yongquan had a smile on his face, "I thought I was the only one who felt this way. This guy Li Wufeng has made such a big fuss in just a few years. It can be said that he is not a character, but this guy sometimes acts too unreasonably, such as the time he sent troops to Northern Luzon and later intervened in the affairs of the Western Regions. It feels like he is more obsessed with the expansion of the empire , but suddenly he counterattacked Xikang and Lulong again, which made us suffer a dumb loss. It's a pity that our intelligence system has always been unable to penetrate the core strata in the Northwest, and we have no way of guessing Li Wufeng's thoughts and ideas~IndoMTL .com~ This has brought us a lot of trouble in judging the situation in the future.”

"Well, my lord is right. You say he is bold and reckless. Sometimes he is too cautious in his attitude towards the empire. You say he is timid. Sometimes he takes bigger steps than anyone else. He is indeed an incomprehensible guy, this kind of person is the most difficult to deal with." Yang Mubai did not hide his fear of Li Wufeng, "It seems that the only weakness of this guy is that he is a bit lustful, but in his high position, women have become pure adults. It seems that this weakness is also difficult for the enemy to take advantage of."

"Well, but from the current point of view, the chance of him being involved in the Hanzhong competition is very small. Of course, we still need to make some preparations, but the focus should be shifted to the Lin family." Lang Yongquan's face gradually became serious, and his voice He also lowered his voice, "Is there any result in contacting Ma Qihan?"

"I've been there for two days, I think I'll report back as soon as I get results." Yang Mubai said with a sly smile, "There shouldn't be a big problem. This kind of favor and favor only needs to be done and doesn't need any consumption. Why not do it?"

"Mubai, don't underestimate Lei Juetian, he's good at fishing in troubled waters." Although Lang Yongquan agreed with his think tank in his heart, he still didn't relax.

"That's even better. Isn't it what we want if he can cause some trouble for the Lin family over there?" Yang Mubai was clearly prepared, "Even if they can eat Northern Rhonesia, I think we will Good deal."

Lang Yongquan let out a long breath, and looked at the situation map on the wall, "I hope Wenna won't let me down, his sons are known as the tigers of Burma, I want to see Can this tiger's might be truly reflected in this battle?"
