Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 25 Pressure
"Hey, Miss Leng, you look down on these guys too much, and you don't know the real people deeply enough." Wufeng's face was full of disdain, "It's not that I despise these people I really don't see how many nobles from the Western Regions dare to risk their lives against me. What they value is the wealth and power in their hands. As long as they don't touch their deepest interests, they How many people will jump out to fight against me? As for the change of the royal family? Maybe they will have some resistance at the time, but if they really do it, they will accept it obediently before long. Habit is the inertia of human beings. As long as you get used to it, everything I can adapt to it. I can’t see how much loyalty they have to the lords of their countries. What the common people need is a stable and prosperous life. No one wants to live in the shadow of war and the threat of hunger for a long time. Next, looking at the changes in the lives of the people in the Northwest prefectures in the past few years, I think the people in the Western Regions are not fools, they can also see the situation clearly." Speaking of the latter paragraph, Wu Feng's tone was much more serious, obviously Not aimlessly.
The white-bearded old man and Leng Ruoxing were both stunned by what they said, and after savoring it carefully, they also knew that what the other said was true. The pressure is accompanied by a trace of fear. In addition to the rapid growth of the military strength of the Northwest, they also feel some complaints from the middle and lower classes. Even some people in the upper class are eager to share the benefits brought by the rapid economic growth of the Northwest. The Northwest attaches great importance to business, In particular, foreign business exchanges have also brought a lot of economic benefits to the upper class in the surrounding areas. This has aroused the anxiety of the core class in power. This is also an attempt by various forces in the surrounding areas to unite to contain the Northwest forces. A reason for expansion.
"Lord Li, I didn't say that you can't control the countries in the Western Regions. Didn't you just say that your main goal is not here. The east is probably where your mind lies, but the situation in the east Dramatic changes are imminent. If the current situation in the Western Regions is really handled according to your method, I think you will not be able to escape completely for at least a period of time. Do you want your army to be dragged here all day long to deal with these people who are dissatisfied with you? Small fights?" Leng Ruoxing still refused to give up, she was a strong-willed woman, and she would do her best to fulfill other people's requests.
Leng Ruoxing's words aroused Wufeng's thinking again. It seems that these two lobbyists came prepared this time. Otherwise, this kind of problem would not have been brought up.
Staring into Leng Ruoxing's bright eyes, Wufeng warned seriously: "No, Miss Leng, I think you misunderstood me. My goal is certainly in the east, but it doesn't mean me You can give up everything in the west. The actions of the countries in the Western Regions have seriously hurt my feelings, especially in the coup in Wusun last year. The girl probably knows what they did, and treats me in the northwest as nothing. , blatantly supporting Said, who has been deposed, just because Cessna is friendly with the Northwest, this kind of behavior is probably intolerable to anyone.”
After a pause, seeing that the faces of the white-bearded old man and Leng Ruoxing were a bit overshadowed, Wufeng bit the bullet and said: "I have given up, if the countries in the Western Regions refuse to submit, then only swordsmen can fight against each other." See, I am already giving benevolence outside the law, if they don't know how to advance or retreat, then no one can blame me."
There was a moment of silence in the living room, and the joyful and relaxed atmosphere just now had long since disappeared, replaced by depressing dullness.
Until the disappointed figures of the white-bearded old man and Leng Ruoxing disappeared outside the door of the living room, Wufeng was still sitting on the chair, sipping tea calmly, and a beautiful figure flashed from the screen behind him.
"My lord, will you drive the countries of the Western Regions to a dead end by doing this? Then they may jump over the wall and join forces to make a last-ditch effort, which is not good for us." Somewhat worried, the intelligence secretary looked at his Lover, hoping to get his true thoughts.
"Not for the time being, Tan Lizhong and Leng Ruoxing are just entrusted by the envoys of the Western Regions to find out the news. Before they get the exact news, they will not have any other outrageous behavior. I also hinted in my words For Tan and Leng, we can analyze specific issues and treat them differently. I believe this sentence will fall into the ears of the envoys of Kuqa, Gaochang and Bega, and they will understand the meaning even if you want them to unite. , They won’t accept it at this time, after all, they haven’t seen the real conditions.” Wufeng smiled lightly, and casually pulled the intelligence secretary over to sit on his lap.
Qin Shuangying's cheeks blushed immediately, although there was no one in the hall, but this is the living room, it's a public place, and she was still receiving outside guests just now, but at this time she was so presumptuous, Qin Shuangying really couldn't accept it, she broke free from Wufeng's big hand, Jiaochen said: "My lord, what kind of place is this place, you should be more self-respecting, okay?"
"Hehe, no one saw it anyway, so why don't we have to sit on the chair in a proper manner and put on a dignified appearance when we talk?" Wu Feng asked back with a playful smile.
But Qin Shuangying stopped answering the conversation, and turned away from these boring topics, "Hmph, you've made Leng Ruoxing so hard, I think her impression of you will be greatly reduced again."
How could he not hear the sourness in the other party's words, Wufeng said indifferently: "You underestimate her wisdom too much. Although she is a quack, she is very talented in political matters. I'm afraid the level is better than many people who spend all day in the political arena, what I said is just to let her send a letter to the countries in the Western Regions to put pressure on it."
"Then you mean that you are still willing to negotiate a settlement with the countries of the Western Regions?" The clever Qin Shuangying suddenly heard the implication of the lover.
"That's not necessarily the case. We have to be prepared. I have already ordered He Lianbo to lead the four divisions of the Northern Luzon Army to their northern border. It is good that they agree this time. If they don't agree, I have no choice but to Let them wake up by force." Wu Feng shook his head, he was not optimistic about resolving the issue through negotiation.
After receiving the report from Tan and Leng, Abhiyev's heart sank. It seems that Li Wufeng really wanted to take the Loulan country. When he set off from Loulan, the domestic situation It has begun to be a little unstable. Obviously, Li Wufeng has already used other means to incite domestic dissatisfaction forces to create troubles and exert pressure. Is it really impossible to avoid armed conflicts? He already had a vague feeling in his heart that Li Wufeng was going to use Loulan to sacrifice the flag this time, and the other countries were just a foil or an object of deterrence, but he didn't want to express this feeling. The country can't be preserved, and he doesn't have the heart to think about other countries. If he wants to go to hell, he will go to **** together. Abhiyev even has a bit of a broken pot mentality.
And the envoys from other countries who got the news also felt a little anxious all day long. Li Wufeng's tough attitude made the envoys from several countries a little confused whether the gaffe would worsen, especially when they got the news from both the north and the south of their own country. When the large-scale Northwest Army was launched, they felt the heavy pressure on their shoulders. Gaochang and Bega had completely given up their preparations for confrontation. Regardless of the target to be slaughtered, they still hope to obtain the best result for their country through negotiation. The mentality of the envoys from the Kuqa Kingdom is a little more complicated, but thinking of the lifeless people in his own country who once ordered the Huanfengmen to assassinate Li Wufeng, although those things have passed for a few years, but at this critical moment, will Li Wufeng What about resentment?
The envoy of the Wusun Kingdom is Sai Bo, the Minister of State who has a close relationship with Su Qin and Liang Chongxin. He visited Northwest China three times and was received by Li Wufeng. He was adopted after Cessna came to power. As a staunch anti-Robe faction, this may have a lot to do with the fact that he and his family were bullied by the Robbies. Not only did he himself serve as a messenger to Rome Bei people have been treated coldly and insulted, and even the family of one of his concubines was brutally slaughtered by Luo Bei people, so in this respect, he can be said to hate Luo Bei people. This is one of the secret information obtained by Wufeng's intelligence agency. One, at least it is certain that the Minister of State who holds considerable power in the Wusun Kingdom is the reason why he will not change his position easily.
He is also the promoter who has always advocated maintaining a close relationship with the Northwest. In his eyes, the ever-changing Northwest is not comparable to the crude Luobei people, and Li Wufeng's great talent is also the most important factor that makes him friendly to the Northwest. The several conversations with Li Wufeng made him feel the endless world in this young man's heart. If he can't stop it, it's best to become a member of his chariot and share with him the rich fruits of victory. The conclusion Sai Bo drew for himself after the third in-depth talk with Li Wufeng. The advanced culture of Tanghe people is another main reason why Saibo is close to the Northwest. In his opinion, compared with Tanghe people, no matter whether it is the countries of the Western Regions or the nomads on the grassland, they are no different from the savages who belonged to the barbaric era. , the Tanghe people's brilliant cultural and artistic achievements over the past thousand years also made him completely addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself.
Right now, he was also a little uneasy. Thinking that even Tan and Leng said that Li Wufeng was going to treat him differently, he felt more at ease. Although Li Wufeng didn't meet him at this time, he could understand that in other countries When all the envoys are gathered here, it is impossible for him to receive too obvious and special care.
