Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 74 Hidden flow

Situ Yuzhen really looked down on his half-brother from the bottom of his heart. When the people he sent came into contact with him, the other brothers rejected their proposals without hesitation. , but my sixth brother wants to eat fish and is afraid of getting fishy, ​​so indecisive, how can he make a big deal? But I had no choice. Almost everyone rejected my proposal. No one was willing to take such a big risk. Situ Biao at least had to think about it, but the others were not even interested in thinking about it.

"Is this going to work? I'll give you a letter of approval within a week, and let me think about it." Situ Biao repeated his old trick and adopted the method of procrastination.

"Okay, Sixth Brother, I hope you keep your word. I'll come to hear from you next week." Situ Yuzhen nodded slightly, got up and left. Looking at Situ Yuzhen's leaving figure, Situ Biao shook his head regretfully. It seemed that he had to give up on them. Pushing them too hard was not a good sign. If he accepted it, the gain would not be worth the loss.

Returning to his mansion with a gloomy face, Situ Yuzhen returned to his study, where there were already people waiting.

"Yuzhen, how are you? Is there any hope?" Waiting in Situ Yuzhen's study were a man and a woman. Covered with thick calluses, it can be seen that he is a person who is outside to make a living. But the other woman is a mid-mature woman with a fluffy black hair tied into a big bun for a woman, and the bun is tightly wrapped by a hair net, which is really heavy and attractive. A fair and tender pretty face, with lightly drawn eyebrows, rosy lips, and half-exposed silver teeth, fully revealing the feminine demeanor.

Glancing at the woman who was asking the question, Situ Yuzhen shook her head silently, and said after a while: "Situ Biao doesn't have the courage. Although she hasn't exactly refused, I guess there is no hope, and even if he accepts Given our conditions, I judge that it will be very difficult for him to win this battle for the throne, even with our support, his strength is too weak, and I am not optimistic about his performance."

"However, His Royal Highness, His Highness Third, and His Highness Seven have all rejected our proposal either explicitly or implicitly. His Highness Ninth is not even willing to listen to the conditions. Who can we turn to? I'm afraid we have no choice. Ah." The bearded man looked up at Situ Yuzhen with a heavy face, "Yuzhen, what do you think?"

"Whether it's Situ Tai, Situ Jun, or Situ Yuan, they all think that they still have a certain amount of strength and can give it a try. Of course they don't want to accept us. Even if someone like Situ Biao agrees to us Let’s also consider whether he has the possibility of success, don’t accompany our lads in vain in exchange for a dou who cannot be supported.” Situ Yuzhen said seriously, “Actually, I am very optimistic about a person. , I am also going to let the two of you meet each other for a while, I think maybe he can give us a surprise."

"Who?" The bearded man and the young woman Huaxin asked at the same time.

"Li Wufeng, Li Wufeng, the Military and Political Governor of the Northwest." Situ Yuzhen replied slowly.

"Li Wufeng?" The curly bearded man frowned, "I heard that this guy's power has grown tremendously in the west, and he is known as the king of the new generation in the northwest, but he doesn't seem to have much power in the Central Plains. If we cooperate with him, he will Can it meet our requirements?"

"Uncle Lei, the times have changed, the wind is high and the waves are rough. I have no confidence in whether the Situ family will be able to survive the Tanghe Empire, which is riddled with holes. The Tanghe Empire may need to change its captain when it arrives. It's time." Situ Yuzhen took a breath and said solemnly, "Li Wufeng is not an easy guy. I've paid attention to him since he started serving as Qingyang City Guard. He has climbed to this position in the past few years, do you think he is really lucky? There are so many good things in the world that have happened to him."

"Yuzhen, do you mean that Li Wufeng may replace the Situ family to rule the Central Plains?" The young woman Huaxin raised her beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows and asked in disbelief, "The Northwest is barren and has been ruled by the Great Wall for many years. Those nomadic peoples have been ravaged repeatedly, Li Wufeng has only a few years, no matter how capable he is, I am afraid it will be difficult to lay a foundation, can it be said that several highnesses are not as good as him?"

Shaking his head, a smile appeared on the corner of Situ Yuzhen's mouth, "You guys know too little about Northwest and Li Wufeng, maybe Li Wufeng doesn't have much reputation in Jiangnan and East China Sea, but his potential in the Central Plains is not small , I just tell you that Liao Qichang also maintains a very close relationship with Li Wufeng, and it can even be said that there may be some ulterior secret between the two."

"Oh?" The bearded man and the young woman Huaxin expressed surprise in unison. They are from Jiangnan, so they are naturally aware of Liao Qichang's influence in Jiangnan. In particular, the huge industrial and commercial power represented by the seven famous families in the south of the Yangtze River has a close relationship with Liao Qichang.

"If that's the case, we might as well pay a visit to the Northwest King and see how powerful this Northwest King is." The young woman Huaxin nodded slowly, expressing her acceptance of Situ Yuzhen's opinion.

"Since he and Liao Qichang have formed an ally, what can we exchange for him?" the bearded man thought for a while and asked.

"Uncle Lei, it's still too early to talk about this. Li Wufeng has a complicated personality, and I can't guess what he thinks, but I can be sure that this person is very ambitious. I hope you can immediately Go to the northwest, get to know him first through various channels, and then find an opportunity to talk to him, maybe then you can learn more about him." Situ Yuzhen suggested.

"I hope his ambition is big enough, otherwise we will lose the basic foundation of cooperation." The bearded man grinned.

"Well, maybe you will have a common language. I heard that Li Wufeng secretly built a water army base in Baixiang Lake in Bonan Prefecture, and is currently forming his water army. Think about it, there is nothing important in the northwest. How could he suddenly become interested in the navy?" Situ Yuzhen had a mysterious smile on his lips, "I think he has far-reaching ambitions."

"Well, then Zhu Niang and I will go to the Northwest, hoping that he will not disappoint us. But here I think His Highness the Sixth Highness should not give up easily. After all, he occupies the orthodoxy. If possible, I still prefer to choose among the several Highnesses." The bearded man nodded, and added one last sentence.

"Uncle Lei, I don't think it's necessary to put much hope on Situ Biao's side. I'm not optimistic about him at all. Even if he agrees to cooperate with us, I guess it's just for my other brothers. He Lack of the kind of courage to dominate the world." Situ Yuzhen said decisively, "I hope you will pay more attention to Li Wufeng, this guy has a lot of secrets, which may surprise you."

"I hope so."

After seeing off the two elders, Mu Mian and Shi Liu, Wu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Gaoyue people's settlement area has been carefully inspected, and they are quite interested in the grassroots autonomous management model of the Gaoyue people. Although the living habits of the Mote people and the Gaoyue people are quite different, there is a little similarity inside. It is to manage internal general affairs by itself under the unified management of Northwest China. The two elders come together almost every time they come to Wufeng, and each time they will make some requests about education and infrastructure construction, which makes Wufeng a little afraid to see them.

However, the Gaoyue people have already played a very important role in the Wufeng Army. Wufeng is not willing to dampen the enthusiasm of the Gaoyue people because of these things, not to mention that the two elders can understand the difficulties in the Northwest. Excessively, this time brought some good news. From the south, a small tribe of more than 30,000 people quietly migrated along the Hengduan Mountains several times. There are more than 10,000 Gaoyue militiamen in the thousands. They conveyed to Wufeng through kapok and Shiliu their eager request to join the Northwest Army ~IndoMTL.com~ and asked Wufeng to agree to their request.

The Second Division of the First Northwest Army lost a lot in the battle by the shore of Boyue Lake, and its supplementary force had to be drawn from the garrison troops in Jinzhou, Weituo, and Xikang. The reserve force added, just because of this gap, Wufeng readily agreed to add 10,000 people to the three prefectures' security forces, and both sides were very happy.

As soon as Mu Mian and Shi Liu went out, Mi Feng had already sat down in Wufeng's study. Since Mi Feng is now the director of military law in the Northwest Army, he is in charge of military law issues in the four major armies of the Northwest.

With Mi Feng as the scrupulous and iron-faced military director, Wu Feng can finally relax a lot. It turns out that many military discipline violations that need to be forwarded and handled by Wu Feng are all handed over to Mi Feng. Mi Feng is even more conscientious, which fully reflects the existence of the Military Judicial Division. Even Ling Tianfang, the Chief of Staff of the Northwest Military Affairs Joint Staff Headquarters, can hardly command. In front of the Military Judicial Division, almost all officers feel short half. Especially after a certain deputy division head claimed that he was an old man in the Wufeng City Guards, and was caught by the military police of the Military Law Department after drinking and provoking trouble, the soldiers of his division actually forcibly broke into the Military Law Office in an attempt to rob people. Three people were killed by the gendarmerie, and the deputy division commander was flogged twenty times. After fifteen days of confinement, the reputation of the military law department and the gendarmerie was even more prosperous, and Wufeng directly counted all the division-level officers Penalty for half a year, as a warning to everyone else, aroused great repercussions in the Northwest Army. Since then, no one dared to compete with the military law department and the gendarmerie. Walk.
