Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 32 Kunlun Pass
"Hehe, of course it's interesting. Tian Fang, I'm thinking about it. Now that the Lang family is in full swing, if we raid Bashan with people from the Gu family supporting us, it shouldn't be a big problem, but the Tiannan Army in Lujiang and Hanzhong The Lang family's army in Tiannan County will definitely come to the rescue. The Bashanfu city is dilapidated, the defense facilities are incomplete, and the Lang family has not made much repairs after occupying the Bashanfu city. The Lang family's army came to attack. We must fight each other endlessly in Bashan, and the princes will just sit back and watch, and even fan the flames. At this time, my personal opinion is not appropriate. At least for now, we in the northwest should not directly fight with each other. When the two vassals clash, especially when there is a lack of justice, the people of the empire will only think that we don't want to share the country's worries when the empire is facing internal and external difficulties, but are still fighting for our own self-interest, so it is difficult to win the hearts of the people in the interior of the empire Approved."
"Instead of this, I might as well give up Hanzhong to Situ Jun generously. Not only can I win Situ Jun's favor, but it can also further deepen the conflict between Situ Jun and the Lang family. As for the Lin family, they have no ability to control it now." Hanzhong, and there are intelligence reports that the Lin family is also secretly negotiating alliance matters with Situ Jun, I think the Lin family can also accept this reality. We can have both ways and continue to maintain our neutral state." Wufeng finally came up with his own opinion.
"However, my lord, have you considered that if Situ Jun is allowed to occupy Hanzhong, Situ Jun's current situation will be greatly improved, and if we want to take Hanzhong back from Situ Jun in the future, whether it is righteousness or The losses we have to bear are quite passive and not cost-effective. I cannot accept your view. Now we are concentrating on defeating the Tiannan Army and capturing Hanzhong. Compared with the benefits, they are all worth it." Ling Tianfang immediately raised objections.
The mysterious smile on his face became even wider, Wufeng opened and closed the gold-threaded folding fan in his hand, and said confidently: "Don't worry about Tian Fang, everything is under my control, if Hanzhong can let Situ Jun succeed at this time , can put Situ Jun and the Lang family in a confrontational state, and can also allow the Lin family to maintain a weak existence, so for us, it also maintains a fragile balance, which not only avoids a direct showdown with the Lang family, but also prevents the Lang family Take it further, as for Hanzhong, hehe, if I am fully sure that I can withdraw it at any time when the situation changes in the future, does Tianfang have any concerns?"
Ling Tianfang was taken aback for a moment, could he take it back anytime? He couldn't think of why his master was so sure, and when he thought of Wufeng's question at the beginning, his heart suddenly moved: "My lord, could it be that Qiu Zicheng is my lord's secret son?!"
"Although I missed, it's not far away. Therefore, I decided to let Lin Lang's two families fight endlessly, and use Hanzhong to weaken the strength of the two families. Finally, I will come forward and call for the third highness to take over Hanzhong. Presumably, apart from Lang Outside the family, everyone is willing to see this result, if the Lang family does not follow, and the Northwest Army cooperates with Situ Jun to intervene, no one will have any objection." Wu Feng stood up and retracted his fan, smiling.
Ling Tian was relieved and overjoyed, stood up and said, "If that's the case, that's the best. In Tian Fang's opinion, it's best not to use this dark child, let it grow up, and wait for the best time." When it happens from time to time, the effect is even more limitless, but it doesn’t have to be limited to a moment and a place.”
"Well, that's the case, some chess pieces can often play a greater role if they are not exposed!" Wufeng said with emotion.
The Northwest army and nomadic cavalry that crashed into the customs could not escape the eyes and ears of various forces deployed in Kansai. The large-scale eastward march of more than 100,000 troops made many people feel panic, especially when the news came. After it was heard by some people in the first time, almost everyone's attention was attracted by this big hand in Northwest.
"Brother Wang Liao, I heard that your Northwest Army is advancing from Bonan to the east on a large scale, and there are still a large number of nomadic cavalry controlled by Mr. Li. I would like to ask where their destination is? It seems a little inappropriate to enter the customs at this time when the two sides are negotiating, right?" The special envoy from Lang's family was probably the most anxious person here. Wang Liao, deputy director of China's Diplomatic Liaison Office.
"Your envoy, don't worry. My Lord Li has always kept his promises. It's just that when you and I have not reached an agreement, it seems that there is no need to inform you of our military actions. In the customs, our forces are not At least, it seems understandable for us to strengthen our own defense." Wang Liao yawned and said absent-mindedly. It's really an impolite guy to disturb people's lunch break, but it seems that this guy is really in a hurry.
"Strengthen the defense? But are the hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry also used to strengthen the defense? Brother Wang Liao's words are hard to believe." The visitor was not confused by Wang Liao's prevarication words, Still relentlessly questioning.
"Hehe, your Excellency, although I don't understand military affairs, I also know the words that offense is the best defense, and offense is the best defense. Maybe my Lord Li thinks that offense is the best defense, and the best defense is the best defense." Change to protect the safety of our Northwest. You don’t have to worry too much, instead of worrying about that, it’s better for us to continue our negotiation affairs, this is our duty.” Wang Liao blinked his eyes, calmly the way.
The person who came here was bitter for a while, and didn't care about his own affairs? The purpose of my coming here is to use negotiations to slow down the pace of interference in the Northwest. I didn't expect that Li Wufeng would not accept this at all. I am in a dilemma, let's talk, if you can't stop the other party's military move, it will be meaningless, don't talk, I'm afraid the other party will have more reason to intervene in the situation in Hanzhong.
"Brother Wang Liao, I tell you that it is necessary for both of us to sit down and talk about our agreement in a serious way. Your military actions have already endangered what we asked to do. Could you please Suspend military operations and wait for us to talk about a result?"
"Hehe, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. Your Excellency envoy thinks too much of my ability. I cannot control military operations. I am only in charge of diplomatic negotiations. I believe that your envoy will not be able to do Hanzhong's military affairs for your Lord Jialang." The master of action, if our negotiation can reach a satisfactory result, after I report the result to Lord Li, maybe Lord Li will consider suspending the military operation, and I don't know." Wang Liao still had a smile on his face.
Staring straight at the other party, the envoy gritted his teeth and said one word at a time: "Then open the window and speak plainly today. I want to hear a letter from you. How on earth are you willing to sign a cooperation treaty with us? Can you stop your so-called military operations?!"
Seeing that the other party was in disarray, Wang Liao knew that what the other party was doing was probably at a critical moment, so he didn't want anyone to disturb him. According to the intelligence, the Tiannan army in Bashan was already very weak. With a drumbeat, taking Bashan is naturally a no-brainer, but this suggestion was rejected by Mr. Li, and it seems that it can only be carried out according to the established goal.
"Your Excellency can meet so frankly, and we will naturally not perfunctory your side. It's very simple. Two more towns in the north of Hanzhong Prefecture will be under our control, and we will take over the defense of Kunlun Pass in the north of Bashan Prefecture."
The two short sentences were like two Jiao Lei slaps in the opponent's heart, making him speechless for a while, staring fiercely at Wang Liao, his red eye sockets were about to burst, and he was gasping for breath. The sound was clearly audible, as if a ferocious beast that chose to devour someone was fixed in place.
"You don't need to be like this, Mr. Ambassador, I think since you have come to our northwest, Lord Lang must have granted you the necessary power~IndoMTL.com~ If you just want to come here and procrastinate, I don't think it is necessary, it is better for you I'll get back home as soon as possible, and it's a good idea to each hold a woman, and you and I can't interfere, so let the army worry about military matters." Wang Liao took a sip of his teacup leisurely.
After ceding the two towns in the north, the Northwest controls Hanzhong Mansion with six towns, which is already one-third of the eighteen towns in Hanzhong. How greedy is the appetite of the Northwest? This is all in the second place. The problem is that Kunlun Pass is located in Bashan, but it is not far from Xikang. It is only 30 li away. Fucheng just began to enter the hilly area, which is also the most affluent area in Bashan, mainly composed of plains and shallow hills; while looking north from Kunlun Pass, you can overlook the Xikang grassland, a flat river, and cavalry can pass through Xikang Fucheng in a day. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the importance of location surpassed Bashan and Xikang Fucheng, especially when Xikang and Bashan belonged to two forces.
Although the northwest controls Xikang, it must pass this pass if they want to attack Bashan. Difficult place. Although Kunlun Pass is said to be a dangerous pass, it is not high and majestic. I am afraid that the hills to the north of Bashan Mountain are already the best defense points. If you want to enter Bashan Pass from the northwest, you must pass this pass. Wufeng also sees this point. If he wants to enter Bashan, he will have to spend a lot of troops to break through this pass. Now Bashan's troops are mostly invested in Hanzhong and Lujiang. Intelligence shows that there are not many defenders at Kunlun Pass. If he wants to forcefully break through here, it will not be difficult. , but if he could win this place without a fight, that would be the best thing, so he asked Wang Liao to include this condition as the first requirement.
