Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 29 Controversy
Shrugged gracefully, Wufeng leaned back slightly, and said calmly: "Young brother, this may be a bit biased, right? Yes, the empire and Terok are indeed allies, but Li is just an ordinary vassal of the empire , It is my duty to guard my own territory. As for defending allies, hehe, it doesn’t seem to be Li’s responsibility, right? Besides, Li’s territory is also full of turmoil, which is not peaceful. This time, Li should pay attention The country's invitation to help is really based on the friendship, neighbors and allies, and I can't bear to see the Zelok lineage fall into trouble. I didn't expect to end up with such a statement. Is this also a habit of you Zelok people?"
Although his tone was calm, Wufeng's words already hinted at sarcasm. Even Alan and Lan Meng frowned slightly. Under the current situation, the situation of the country is critical, and this guy in front of him is extremely naughty, and he has always refused to take a positive position on the recovery of the north. At this time, it is really desirable for Lan Luo to point it out in person, but Wufeng's words also made the two of them It's a little embarrassing, after all, the other party came to help at his own invitation, and even if it was an exchange of conditions, he had put forward it first.
"Hmph, such things as forgetting to repay favors or even extorting favors are really detrimental to a man's character. It is hard for Lan Luo to imagine that this is a person who is respected by the people of the empire as an imperial hero. Lan Mou I'm really disappointed." The handsome man had a look of disdain on his face.
"Presumptuous! Lan Luo, don't be rude! Master Li, please don't blame the boy, he is not sensible." Seeing Lan Luo talking too much, Lan Meng worried that he would over-irritate the other party, so he hurriedly stopped him.
"Hehe, Duke Lanmeng, it's better to let your son understand what he said. You don't understand the reasoning. Li is doing well, so why be afraid of gossip?" Wufeng smiled nonchalantly. expression.
Seeing his father stop him, and he couldn't explain the scene more clearly, so he stared at the other party fiercely, Lan Luo suddenly took a breath and calmed down and said slowly: "I heard that Brother Li is also a master of martial arts. I really want to take the time to ask for advice, I don’t know if Brother Li will stay in Merrington for a few days, I hope to have the opportunity to discuss with Brother Li, and I don’t know if Brother Li will appreciate it?"
Seeing the other party's words suddenly become so polite, Li Wufeng couldn't understand the other party's implication. He had already heard that the other party's accomplishments in martial arts were extraordinary, and although he had never stopped practicing, But the long-term military life made him realize that such personal martial arts are not very useful in the fight of thousands of troops, so he didn't deliberately pursue them, and he was not sure whether he could deal with the opponent's provocation. But in this situation, if they refused to fight, they would probably make the other party even more powerful, and they would also make these Terok nobles who used to enjoy private duels consider themselves cowardly and deceitful.
"Hehe, although Li won't be able to stay in Merrington for long, as long as the young brother wants to, Li will accompany him at any time. I hope he won't disappoint the young brother!" Allen and Lan Meng were stunned. They thought that Wufeng would not be interested in this kind of personal duel, and they could evade it on the grounds of business affairs, but they didn't expect the other party to agree.
"Okay! Lan Mou did not misunderstand Brother Li, and Tomorrow Ancient Ape Tai Lan is waiting for Brother Li." A frightening light like sparks suddenly burst out in Lang's eyes, and Lan Luo nodded deeply, "Excuse me today. !” Then he walked away.
Lightly waved his hand to stop several subordinates who were furious and their eyes were spitting fire. Wufeng looked very calm, as if nothing had happened, and he still had that amiable appearance. It tasted dull, and Alan and Lan Meng were full of worries. Although they apologized to Wufeng repeatedly, Wufeng had made it clear that he didn't care about these trivial matters, but several subordinate generals were outraged. Feng can be suppressed, and I am afraid that a fierce verbal conflict will break out at the banquet.
The meal broke up unhappily, which quietly cast a shadow on the future cooperation between the two parties.
Back in the barracks outside the city, several generals who attended the banquet with Wufeng burst out immediately.
"My lord, are you giving these guys too much face? A bunch of guys who are about to perish, if we don't try our best to save them, don't know if we can survive tomorrow? They are still pretending to be with us What kind of conditions are you talking about, benevolence, righteousness and morality, fuck! I can’t even control my own life, so I have to talk about other things! With my temper, I might as well just take over Merrington, and let this Principality of Teroc become a historical record.” Kang, who was the first to attack Jianguo was on the verge of getting angry at the table, but under Wufeng's gaze and Cui Wenxiu who was sitting next to him persuaded him not to erupt immediately. At this time, there was no one else in the camp, and his words were even more unscrupulous.
"That's right, my lord, look at these ignorant fellows who have come to challenge your lord, and the subordinates don't understand how your lord would agree? You're exalting this kind of dude, lord, if you talk to it, My lord, why would you think of fighting with such a person?" Kang Jianguo was echoed by Sha Lang, the commander of the Second Division, who had always disliked the children of these aristocratic families, especially hated those who relied on their own family background to be powerful. Nobility, in his eyes, Lan Luo is undoubtedly the representative of this kind of Terok nobility.
"My lord, what Lao Kang said makes sense. You can see that our current strength is sufficient to control the southern part of Terok. I also heard that Princess Anne, the single daughter of Grand Duke Allen, admires you very much, and is also with you." With a marriage contract, how about we let Grand Duke Alan abdicate, let Princess Anne ascend the throne as the new Grand Duke of Terok, and you will marry Grand Duke Anne immediately, so that Terok will be firmly in our hands, and no one else will say Dislike. This is the best chance to control Terok, sir, you can think about it carefully." Cui Wenxiu's eyes flashed with a cunning gleam, and she paused word by word.
"Oh? Wenxiu, do you think so? Princess Anne admires me? Hehe, what about Situ Yutang?" Wufeng was taken aback for a moment, smiled jokingly, and after a little thought, slowly shook his head and said, "What you said is a bit too hasty, and the time is not yet ripe. Allen still has some roots and influence in Terok, and doing so now will be counterproductive, and we have to wait slowly. It will not be too long. "
"But my lord, it's too bad for us to procrastinate like this. If we withdraw without leaving a single soldier, not only Terok may be attacked by the Kamanians again, but also our public opinion and diplomacy will suffer. Very passive, the effectiveness of the marriage contract between Princess Anne and you may also be ruined. Don’t we pay so much for nothing? But if we just garrison troops to help them guard their homes, it will restrain our military strength, and secondly, the land of Terok If we don’t enjoy half of the resources and wealth in the world, then we will simply become free labor, which is really not worth it.” Cui Wenxiu retorted in a deep voice, and he is probably the only one in this battalion who dares to speak to Wufeng in such a tone .
Before Wufeng could answer, Qi Bolin, the commander of the Guide Guard Division who had been silent all this time, also spoke in support of Cui Wenxiu: "My lord, I think what Cui lord said makes sense. In the hands of the Kamans, although Fanlin City has not yet fallen, it will be a matter of time. In this way, the three cities of Jiayuguan, Jiama, and Fanlin have formed an even attack chain. With our current strength, or adding With Terok's poor military strength, it is quite difficult to break through in a short period of time, not to mention that behind these three cities is the generous hinterland of Kaman. Therefore, if we want to control the southern part of Terok, we must control the city of Merrington. But judging from today's situation, it seems that the Teroks don't want us to garrison inside the city, but want us to garrison outside the city. It is best to help them save Jiama and Fanlin. In doing so, we have really become nothing A worthless babysitter, but without any rewards, also **** a large number of our troops, which will also affect the future use of troops in Kansai and the Central Plains.”
"Then what do you mean..." Wufeng turned around in the handsome tent ~IndoMTL.com~ glanced at the generals who were eager to try, and asked with narrowed eyes.
"Small size is not a gentleman, non-toxic and not a husband, simply take advantage of the current lax defense of the Jieluo people, go directly to the city to take over the defense, invite Princess Anne to succeed over there, and Grand Duke Alan can be sent back to Qingyang for imprisonment temporarily, and then invite your lord Marrying Princess Anne and Princess Seventeen at the same time, everyone is very happy, and Jie Luo and Northwest will become one family in an open and above board." Cui Wenxiu said with a gloomy expression.
The rest of the generals all agreed, and even Song Tianxiong, who was always by the side, nodded secretly to show his support.
"Well," Wu Feng was a little moved by what the generals said.
Originally, he did not agree with this method of taking possession of the magpie's nest. After all, Princess Anne already had a secret engagement with him. Although the low-handed means can achieve immediate results, there are many troubles in the future. At least it will take a lot of work to win the hearts of the people, especially in the situation where Princess Anne hates her deeply. Cooperation and support are tantamount to dreaming.
But what the generals said is also reasonable. The situation in Kansai is turbulent now. The Taiping Army, the Lin family, and the Lang family have all intervened. It is really not a good strategy for me to be entangled in some trivial matters here and to contain a large number of troops. Let those few families grow up in vain. If you don’t intervene in the hinterland of the empire early, it may be difficult to get to the back, and the dream of fighting for the Central Plains will become more and more elusive. , it is really difficult for Wufeng to make a decision for a while.
In the big tent, the oil lamps are like beans, flickering on and off, and the sound of breathing can be heard. Everyone's eyes are focused on Wufeng. Just wait for Wufeng to make a decision, and there will be a shock on the land that is still full of singing and dancing during the day. bad waves.
