Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 15 Exposure
"My lord, didn't we save their lives this time? I'm afraid we will have to save them next time." Seeing his coach complaining and venting his dissatisfaction, Su Qin, who had been reading several other pieces of information beside him, accepted with a smile Catchy, "This is a good thing. It shows that the Luobei people have gradually begun to accept the reality that we are their backing. In the next step, they will gradually accept that we are their masters. Of course, it will take a while To adapt. The wild horse can not be completely tamed in a day or two. If the taming process is not exciting, it can only show that the wild horse is not strong enough. I would rather this wild horse is stronger and better. It takes longer to tame it. In the future, we will do more for us, even if people like Qiuer surrender before you without force, how much substantial help can they bring us?"
"Brother Su, you seem to have become a utilitarian through and through. The Chuer people are our loyal allies. This time Mott and the Tubu cavalry went to the An'ou people to provide supplies along the way, and They also followed our advice and prepared an army, although the number is not large, but their loyalty is commendable." Xiao Tang also teased his old friend cheerfully: "As for the Luobei people, they suffered a lot in this war. If the wound is too deep, we have to worry about the annexation of the Chidi people, and we are also afraid that we will take advantage of the fire. It is normal to not understand the painstaking efforts of our Lord Jiedushi. We don't need to blame them too much. As Brother Su said, they will die sooner or later. It will be included in our circle, sooner or later. At least what they need to face now is the threat of the Chidi people, not us, and we can do other things with peace of mind."
"Well, I'm just worried that my good intentions won't be understood. To join me to solve them, I just need to cooperate with the Chidi people to give them a blow in the back. The word Luobei people should become history, and it's time to worry , It’s really ridiculous. Forget it, let He Lianbo and the others rest on the spot, and the Mott and Tubu people are temporarily stationed on the An’ou border, and they will withdraw when the situation stabilizes.” Wufeng shook his head with a look of grievance, "Tian Fang, do you think the Chidi people won't play any more tricks this time? We've been told one thing and done another, making our advances and retreats disorderly."
"My lord, although the nomads are a bit backward in barbarism, they still pay great attention to faith. Since the Chidi people have offered to negotiate a truce this time, it is estimated that there should be no extra problems other than to grab more benefits. They The national custom puts faith first, and will not easily regret promises, especially the public promises of the superior, which will cause great damage to his reputation, and even endanger his rule. The subjects will doubt his character and then Against him, this is decided by the people of the grasslands relying on faith rather than the rule of law." Ling Tianfang smiled: "In contrast, those of us who live in the so-called civilized world have a much lower opinion of the word faith. .”
"Tian Fang, aren't you mocking me for signing a covenant with the Chidi people to deal with the Luobei people, and now you have turned around and supported the Luobei people's counterattack against the Chidi people?" Wufeng stared at his staff officer with a smile The chief exclaimed strangely.
"Hehe, soldiers never tire of cheating. My lord can use this sentence to excuse me. As my lord often says, history is always written for the victors. It doesn't seem to be surprising." Ling Tianfang smiled faintly. , noncommittal.
"After all, you're still mocking me, the boss," Wufeng shrugged.
"Brother Ling, you are wrong. Your Excellency is still very careful about this aspect. When signing the covenant with the Chidi people, your lord asked me to pay attention to language. We have written it clearly in the covenant. Our alliance was only to defeat the common enemy of the Luobei people, and did not say to conquer or destroy the Luobei people. We defeated the Luobei people, and the Chidi people also won the victory. The prerequisites for the existence of the covenant have been lost. Then The covenant is no longer binding on us, how can it be said that we break the covenant?" Su Qin interrupted and explained.
"Hmph, brother Su, playing with these word games is naturally your forte. Although Kalong is not good, compared with you in this respect, it is still the difference between elementary school students and university teachers, but Chidi people may not be able to understand it. Understand it this way." Ling Tianfang obviously didn't like this kind of method.
"Tian Fang, war and diplomacy are all for the purpose of gaining benefits, but in different forms." Wufeng lazily stretched his body and stood up, then said with a playful smile: "At first, if the Chidi people asked I will not agree to form an alliance with us for the purpose of destroying or conquering the Luobei people, I am very loyal and standpoint.”
"No, my lord, you won't do that, it's not in your habit." Xiao Tang also came to pick up the words.
"Oh? Then what should I do?" Wufeng blinked and asked in confusion.
"Most likely you will let Su Qin try his best to do Kalong's work, let him 'intoxicate' in the 'writing art' that our Tanghe culture is most proud of, and finally sign the covenant according to your intention." Maybe everyone's wish They were all in a good mood, and Xiao Tang was also very humorous once in a while.
"Hehehehe, Xiao Tang still understands me." Wufeng couldn't help raising his head and laughing, even Su Qin and Ling Tianfang beside him couldn't help laughing.
"If the western front does not meet our expectations, there should be no more major battles. Our eyes can also return to the eastern front. This is our strategic goal. I don't know what to do next. Do you guys have any good ideas?" Wu Feng turned his attention back to the Northwest Strategic Situation Map in the study, which was half covered with curtains. The latest version in cooperation with the Northwest Intelligence Agency occupies an entire wall of Wufeng's study room, which is usually covered with double-layer curtains, and half of the covered area is the west side, which means that the owner has put aside the problem of the west side , and put the center on the exposed east half.
Draw a line from Tianshui, Longdong, Lulong, Xikang, and the southern part of Terok. The areas controlled by the northwest are covered in light yellow, and the Heathrow Empire and Kaman Empire in the north are represented in dark brown. The actual control area of the Eastern Taiping Sect is marked in light brown, and Guanxi County is divided into several colors. The canine teeth are interlaced, especially in Hanzhong Prefecture. The dark red represents the Lang family, while the pink represents the Lin family. The area controlled by Situ Jun is It is displayed in light green, and further east, the Baling Mansion controlled by the Machihans stands there alone in black and black. The area controlled by Situtai in the north of the empire is light blue, and only the special administrative region of the imperial capital is marked with a golden yellow logo. Bright.
"My lord, I am a layman in military affairs, but I have a question that I have been bored in my heart for a long time, and I have been wanting to ask it. Presumably many brothers, including Brother Su and Brother Ling, want to know the answer to this question, but everyone I don’t think there is a suitable time to ask you. Xiao Tang’s life was originally given by you, and today I want to boldly ask for my brothers.” Xiao Tang’s face was calm, but his tone was unprecedentedly solemn. Both Su and Qin could hear the taste.
"Ask, there are only you and me here today, if I don't even dare to answer your words, then my role as Jiedu Envoy is a failure." Wu Feng actually understood what Xiao Tang wanted What is the question to be asked, in fact, this question has been asked many times by many loyal subordinates on countless other occasions, and Wufeng either pushed or avoided it. It's just that today he can no longer avoid it. In front of the three of them, Wufeng feels that there is no need to avoid it.
"Okay, Xiao Tang just wants to ask, where will your lord's ultimate goal be when he heads east this time?"
"Well, Xiao Tang, what do you say?" Wufeng was very calm.
"My lord, if you only want to put down the Taiping Rebellion for the empire, in Xiao Tang's view, it is just a matter of effort if a group of brothers help each other, but it may disappoint many brothers. The Situ family has the ability to carry the tripod, but it will be difficult to stop the building from falling, Xiao Tang hopes that you will follow the example of the yellow robe, so that you will live up to the sincerity and blood of a group of brothers." There is no concealment in the straightforward words, Xiao Tang and The eyes of the three of Su Ling fell on Wufeng Gujing's face.
After a long silence~IndoMTL.com~Wufeng sighed softly, and muttered to himself in an inaudible voice: "I want to get off the horse, but I don't have stirrups, so let's live with the situation."
Hearing this remark, the three of them felt ecstasy. All three of them had talents in the world. When they met Wufeng, they all wanted to start a career. However, Wufeng had never made it clear before, but today Xiao Tang has made it clear. On the contrary, the three of them were deeply afraid that Wufeng would refuse, so they were ecstatic to hear that Wufeng also agreed to this matter.
"Since that's the case, Xiao Tang should work hard. Government affairs and economic affairs should be done by Xiao Tang. As for foreign affairs, brother Su should be the master's worry, and military affairs, only brother Ling will take care of it." De Wufeng Yes, Su Qin's address is also convenient, and he regards Wufeng as the only person who is loyal, and Ling Tianfang and Su Qin are also smart people, of course they understand the meaning of this, and they will no longer regard the Situ family as their masters , only Wufeng is their only protagonist.
Wufeng frowned slightly, waved his hand to stop him and said, "You three don't have to do this, everything is waiting for you right now, so why bother with such vain rituals? From now on, the title will remain the same, and the Central Plains will undergo major changes, so we still need to put our minds to rest. In this regard, it is serious to capture fighters. It will not be too late to discuss when the future will come to fruition."
"That's right, since your lord said so, your subordinates will obey. Just now when your lord asked Dongjin if he had any good ideas, this subordinate was thinking that according to the analysis of information obtained from various sources, His Majesty's condition has reached the end of the day." When the oil was exhausted and the lights were dry, several His Highnesses had already returned to Beijing to make final preparations. Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor failed to leave an authoritative will. Even if there was an estimate, it would be difficult to convince the public. It has been done, if you are not careful, the empire will be divided." It was Su Qin who spoke, as a diplomatic expert, he is best at analyzing the changes in the political situation and making suggestions for Wufeng.
