Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 80 Engagement

"Brother Lao's news is really well-informed. Just now, my little brother got the news that the Kamans have assembled an army of 200,000 and have surrounded Jiayuguan. Moreover, nearly 100,000 troops are marching towards Taixuan Mansion. There is also a fierce battle in the north of the Principality of Jieluo. It's in full swing, it looks like this war won't be over within three to five months." Wu Feng didn't answer Lao Min's question directly, but frankly stated the news he had just obtained.

"What? The Kamans attacked Taixuan Mansion and Jiayuguan?" Lao Min's surprise was not feigned. The news he got was that the situation in the northwest was chaotic and the old nobles of the Imperial Advisory Council were trapped there and could not get out. , and aroused the mutiny of the local Gaoyue barbarians, the local local government had no way to deal with it, and the situation became increasingly tense. Many nobles from the imperial capital had already rushed to Yuhang to ask His Majesty the Emperor to let Li Wufeng return to the northwest to stabilize the overall situation and rescue the nobles. That's why I guessed Dao, I didn't expect that there would be another big problem in Taixuan Mansion in just two days.

"Well, the situation is getting worse right now. My little brother sees that the Taixuan Palace is in some trouble." Wufeng replied calmly, "This time, the Kaman people probably made up their minds to take down the Taixuan Palace. .”

Wufeng's relaxed tone made Lao Min a little puzzled, does this guy really not want to go back to the northwest? Could it be that the chaotic situation in the Northwest was not written and acted by this guy?

He calmed down and said with a smile: "The Kaman people have long wanted to attack Taixuan, especially Jiayuguan. I am afraid that every generation of their rulers have dreamed of it. But Jiayuguan has enough food and food. With danger to rely on, how have the Kamanians succeeded in the past few hundred years? However, once the Taixuan Mansion falls, it will endanger Jiayuguan's long-term defense posture, and we must make early preparations."

Wufeng really admired the children of these aristocrats, no matter what, at least they were unparalleled in terms of talking about war on paper. Lao Min's words were indeed very reasonable, and he had to admit at this time Lao Min's words are based on experience, at least nothing can be seen right now.

"It seems that Brother Li will be returning to the Northwest soon, so let's consider it a farewell party with Brother Li today. Come on, let's wish Brother Li success, and come to celebrate after breaking the siege of Taixuan Mansion. Come, have a drink !" Lao Min's words touched Wufeng's heart, if it wasn't for the Kaman people's use of troops, maybe it would be really difficult for him to go back to the northwest, and now he just waits for the emperor's imperial edict, which should be in these two days come on.

"Thank you, Brother Lao, for your good words. It's hard to tell about this war. The Kamanians are coming fiercely, with hundreds of thousands of troops! It is more than enough to sweep Terok. If there is no reinforcement from the Empire, I am afraid that the Locke can't hold on anymore." Wufeng smiled wryly, making it impossible to see whether he was real or not.

On a summer night in the Zhoushan Islands, there is a cool breeze, and the stars in the sky reflect a little bit of light on the sea under the night. Stepping on the soft sand on the beach, the whole island seems to be integrated with the sky as a whole, without any gaps.

Silently following His Majesty the Emperor who bowed his head forward, He Zhiqiu looked extraordinarily calm.

Li Wufeng's problem has troubled him for a long time, but he thought over and over again, the current situation has far exceeded the control of the central government of the empire. It has become so bad, and the local governments of these counties are ignorant. No, whether it is ignorance or deliberate deception, it is still difficult to determine, but what is certain is that there must be many high-ranking officials among them. Get involved, otherwise it would be impossible to develop to such an extent.

Now, due to the large-scale invasion of the Terok Principality by the Kamans, two divisions from the Northern Military Region and the Western Military Region, which were originally intended to prevent the Kamanians from invading, have been dragged in. After coming out, the troops of the two counties stationed by the Western Military Region have reached an extremely empty point, and the slightest disturbance may cause a landslide and tsunami-like chaos. The Kaman people choose to send troops at this time is really stuck in the pulse of the empire. .

The two of them walked silently for several miles, but neither of them spoke, each of them had an unspeakable difficulty in their hearts.

"Ai Qing, do you think the Kaman people have any other intentions in their actions this time?" Situ Mingyue's voice seemed a little uncertain on the empty beach.

Waking up from contemplation, He Zhiqiu sorted out his thoughts, and replied concisely: "It is still difficult to be sure, Jiayuguan is like a deep thorn in their throats for both the Kamans and the Xisluo people. The plan to let them go south has always been difficult to boldly carry out. As long as Jiayuguan is not lost for a day, the Kamans and Xisluo people will never sleep peacefully. But this time the Kamans dispatched such a large-scale army, which is in the past century. This is the first time in history, presumably they are determined to open this passage."

After thinking about it carefully, He Zhiqiucai continued: "However, I still find it hard to believe that the Kaman people are really sure to take Jiayuguan in one fell swoop? Or are they really going to spare no expense to capture it?" Taixuan Mansion, relying on the long-term siege to force Jiayuguan to fall on its own due to the problem of supplies? Both of these plans have insurmountable obstacles for them. Conquering Jiayuguan will not be achieved simply by relying on the number of soldiers or advanced siege equipment The hard work accumulated by the empire for hundreds of years has created this unfallen fortress. Even if the Kamans have ten times the force, it will be difficult to succeed. Siege? Let alone whether they can take Taixuan Mansion, even if they occupy it After leaving the Taixuan Mansion, they simply don't have that much power to carry out the siege operations for a long time. The empire only needs to mobilize troops to break the blockade during the year of siege, and all the investment they have put in will be in vain. Contradictions. So Weichen is also thinking about whether there will be other plots in this attack by the Kamans?"

Facing the vast sea and sky, Situ Mingyue didn't answer for a moment, and after a while, he sighed quietly and said, "It's hard for you, the empire is facing many difficulties right now, and wolves are watching all around, and they all want to take advantage of the opportunity to catch some money." And my energy is getting worse day by day, but none of my sons can make me feel at ease!"

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor talking about this issue, He Zhiqiu felt even more nervous. He could hear that His Majesty had intended to set up a reserve, but he couldn't confirm it for a while, but this kind of question is the most taboo thing for a foreign minister. The matter is all about family issues, as a foreign minister, he can only stick to his duties as a minister and do his best to be loyal, and he must not speak at will.

"Your Majesty is in the prime of spring and autumn and has the spirit of dragons and horses. You don't need to worry too much about these issues now. The princes are all smart and wise. When the time comes, there will naturally be someone your Majesty likes. Your Majesty can be at ease." Also had to answer vaguely.

"Let's not talk about this matter. Since Aiqing also advocates that Li Wufeng should return to the northwest to solve the Taixuan crisis, but if it is difficult to control in the future, wouldn't it be a return to the mountain?" Situ Mingyue also understood He Zhiqiu's difficulties, and brought the topic back to the topic superior.

"The current situation is critical. If the Taixuan Mansion or Jiayuguan fall, it may trigger a chain reaction, especially since the Heathrow people have always been in collusion with the Kaman people. If they also take the opportunity to send troops, the situation in the north of the empire will be difficult to deal with. In contrast, although Li Wufeng is difficult to control, he is a general of the empire after all, and he has no other information. If he can quell the war this time, he can make another plan. I suggest that His Majesty bestow a marriage right away With him, if the time is too late, you can get engaged first, and it is not too late to make a big gift when the time is right. After the engagement, you can let the princess go to the northwest with him.

"Give a marriage now? Would it be too abrupt? And how useful will it be?" Situ Mingyue frowned slightly.

"Engagement is just a situation, so there is no need to worry too much about it. As for the effect, the thirteenth princess is wise and courageous, with a unique vision. People, in fact, are no less than the thirteen princesses. If you can win Li Wufeng's heart, everyone will be happy. If you can't, you have to use your status as a royal nobleman to insert into the northwest, try to break through the situation where Li Wufeng is alone, and form a check. Even if he noticed it, Li Wufeng would not dare to act rashly in the face of the world." He Zhiqiu's eyes showed a cold light, and Situ Mingyue nodded secretly.

The sudden gift of marriage was beyond Wufeng's expectation, but he soon understood the painstaking efforts of His Majesty the Emperor. However, Princess Seventeen, who is only sixteen years old, is going to be engaged to him right after her coming-of-age ceremony~IndoMTL.com~ This indeed makes Wufeng feel a little sudden. Fortunately, I heard that the seventeenth princess was born with a beautiful face and excellent literary talent. She was known as a talented woman in the palace. Wu Feng has never been immune to beautiful women. When she heard it, she immediately announced the emperor's imperial edict to grant her marriage. I agreed and thanked you again and again.

This incident immediately caused a sensation in the entire imperial capital and even the empire, and became a big news in the upper class. All the major news media in the imperial capital announced the good news to the outside world with the headlines on their front pages, and even the fact that Li Wufeng was about to return to the northwest to lead his troops to resist the foreign invaders seemed silent.

And after receiving the news that Li Wufeng was about to return to the Northwest, Wufeng's house seemed to become lively again, especially Wufeng was about to become the son-in-law of His Majesty the Emperor, that is, the well-deserved son-in-law. The seventeenth princess of the coming-of-age ceremony gave her a marriage, and the mother concubine of the seventeenth princess and the mother concubine of the seventh prince are twin sisters. This has attracted the attention of many interested people, and the topics involved are enough to make many people scratch their heads. scalp.

Although the engagement ceremony was hasty, it was extremely grand. Almost all the ministers and nobles in Beijing attended the engagement banquet, which was enough for them to show off their capital in the future. The envoys of various countries also represented the heads of state of the surrounding countries, either sincerely or falsely. The congratulatory gift took up five large rooms in Wufeng Mansion, which made several girls including Qin Shuangying, Gu Mingxia, and Charlotte speechless.

At the engagement ceremony, Wufeng was quite satisfied with the generous and decent performance of the seventeenth princess, but unfortunately, the sophisticated and calm performance of the princess also made Wufeng a little wary. A talented woman who likes poetry and poetry, maybe she still has many unknown "advantages" hidden in her body, so that it will be more challenging and more suitable for her own taste, I like it, Wufeng thought to himself.
