Chapter 15 Secret Room
Looking at the naked girl under her, her sleeping face was filled with satisfaction after the storm. A young man with beautiful curly hair stretched out, and his skin exposed in the air looked particularly smooth and delicate, full of strength and passion. The madness of the whole night did not make him feel much tired. He was already used to this luxurious life and seemed to fall in love with this kind of taste. Maybe he was born with this kind of fate. While taking over a silk embroidered shirt from a maid who was drooping, the young man slowly put on his straight and smooth Western riding pants.
"Mr. Willy, where are you going now?" The maid asked in surprise while pulling the quilt open, holding her lady covering her shy body. After a night of hard work, Mr. Willy was still inspiring to go out early in the morning. I really couldn't tell how the other party's physical strength was so good. She made her lady die. The whineless night was tortured torture the person crazy.
"Oh, I want to go out for a walk, I will come back soon. Your lady is too tired. Please let her rest for a while." She thoughtfully tucked the quilt for the girl who was still sleeping. The curly-haired young man cleaned up his body as if nothing had happened, and walked out of the door one after another. "Please give me some tea and I will come back in a while."
Half an hour later, the curly-haired young man had already changed into ordinary clothes and appeared in the depths of the mansion west of the imperial capital.
The mansion seemed a little messy, and some rooms were obviously preparing to clean up before leaving, but the inner rooms were still quite alert, and the security department did not relax because it was about to leave.
Willie's arrival surprised and happy, and there was a hint of embarrassment inside. When Willie arrived, Wufeng had just gotten up from Charlotte, and he had been entangled with Mian overnight to make Charlotte unable to get up again. After accepting the strong suggestions of Su Qin, Wang Liao and others, Wufeng still carefully considered his own child issue. Shi Yayin and Shi Yafu were indeed unhappy, but for political needs, perhaps his first child was better off being born in his exclusive woman's belly, and Charlotte might be the best choice now.
However, Willie's arrival immediately made Wufeng feel the seriousness of the problem. In this case, Willie generally would not choose this way to come here. Even if he wanted to see his sister, he would not use such reckless means unless something urgent forced him to adopt this way.
"What? What did you say? Have you confirmed it?" Even though Wufeng was a little prepared, or was shocked by the other party's quick and straightforward words.
"It should be no mistake. I only barely inferred this news after careful verification. Situ Biao promoted the great merchants and nobles in the Wuhu area to unite to provide loans and grain to Situ Tai. With the loan from the financial nobles in the imperial capital, the loan amount was more than 100 million imperial gold coins, and it is said that there were financiers from the Nanyang Alliance involved. The great nobles in the Wuhu Lake will also provide Situ Tai with one million dan of grain as the first batch of food aid. Most of these grains are said to be imported from the Nanyang Alliance through Machikhan." The curly young man was no longer the young man who was young and ignorant back then. The ups and downs of several years have made an excellent intelligence officer grow up slowly. At this time, Willie has gradually become an important pawn of the General Information Administration in the imperial capital.
Unexpectedly, when he thought that he had successfully won over a considerable number of conservative forces in the imperial capital with the help of the Empress Dowager, he got a blow. The abnormal activities between Situ Tai and Situ Biao were not hidden from Wufeng, but Wufeng always believed that Situ Biao could at least maintain a certain degree of neutrality in the upcoming imperial civil war. Unexpectedly, Situ Biao used this behavior to repay his friendship, so how could Wufeng not be angry? It seems that he underestimated the Situ family's relationship that was thicker than water. Perhaps Situ Biao was not willing to see his brother become the emperor of the empire, but deep in his heart, there was probably a strong xenophobic mood that made him unable to tolerate defeating Situ Tai, or he also had the idea of hoping that he would fight with his brother to bother to lose both sides. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain what he did after he released such strong kindness.
Seeing Wufeng's face change several times and his eyes suddenly became deeper, Willie shut his mouth tactfully. Of course, he knew the seriousness of this matter. It would inevitably have a profound impact on the strategy formed by His Highness the King of Qin. In the face of this change, Xijiang must respond immediately, and this reaction cannot be completed in one or two days.
Wufeng also realized the seriousness of this problem. The merger of Situ Tai and Situ Biao represented the integration of the mainstream of orthodox forces within the empire. Although he had obtained the support of the Zhu clan led by the Empress Dowager, he failed in the battle for the great nobles of the empire. The power of the Zhu clan is only a small group in the entire imperial capital and is difficult to play a vital role. Even if they have some allies, it is still useless for the overall situation. But this is not what Wufeng is most worried about. After all, Wufeng did not have much hope for winning the support of the great nobles of the empire. The reason why he was able to reach this point was the strong support of the emerging industrial and commercial classes. The reason why he hoped to win the support of the great nobles was just to reduce his pressure in the battle against Situ Tai.
What really threatened Wufeng was the mysterious behavior from the Maqi Khans in the south and the South China Alliance. The severe drought in the eastern continent cast a shadow of famine among all parties in the empire, and the first thing that needs to be solved in the war is the military food problem. Situ Biao relied on the special environment in the Wuhu area to maintain it. However, Yanyun, which Situ Tai now controlled, and even the East China Sea, was facing serious difficulties due to the severe drought. The price of grain remained high. Although Situ Tai took a part of it through various means in his plan to import food from the imperial capital, it also deteriorated Situ Tai's financial situation a lot. Now Situ Biao not only promoted the Wuhu area.
The financiers and nobles conducted financial blood transfusions to Situ Tai, and they imported food from the Nanyang Alliance to import food from the Nanyang Alliance. No wonder the intelligence department reported that the Wuhu purchased a large amount of food from the Nanyang Alliance some time ago. They thought that Situ Biao was preparing for the future to hoard military rations, but they did not expect to be used to support Situ Tai. It seems that Situ Biao had already made up his mind to be back-to-back with him. If these foods were to be imported into the north, they would have to pass through Maqikhan. In the meantime, the Maqikhan and the Nanyang Alliance simply played the role of a merchant and a transitor or had other performances? This is what made Wufeng worried.
"Then what kind of role did Situ Yuan play in the intelligence analysis you have obtained? "When Situ Tai and Situ Biao are connected, hesitating for a while, Wufeng asked.
"It seems that I don't feel the existence of Situ Yuan in it. According to my personal opinion, this time the joining forces between Situ Tai and Situ Biao seemed to have put aside Situ Yuan, but it seems that there should be a promoter among them, but the information I have obtained cannot be judged by who this person is." Little Willie tilted his head slightly and tried hard to think about what he saw and heard during this period. Although he had successfully penetrated into the other party, there was a difference between inside and outside. He could only obtain information through various means to infer the real substantive things. He could only cleverly obtain understanding from the words of the person next to him.
"Then have you noticed the appearance of aliens during this period?" Wu Feng changed the topic. In fact, he had already vaguely felt who the initiator of the Situ family came together. Think about the Qingye Sect and Ting Xuexuan at the same time, they could guess the issue. He thought that the other party was really discouraged and never asked about the world again. He didn't expect that he would pretend to be in a month or two and was just sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, but he was secretly engaged in such a thing. It seemed that the hatred between him and her was really deep. No wonder Yuzhen also warned himself not to underestimate the other party. It would be a pity that the Situ family had such a daughter. If it were a man, I was afraid that his situation would have been like this long ago.
"I didn't find this. Does Your Highness suspect that the Maqi Khan and the South China Alliance are also making trouble in the middle?" Little Willy's political sense and reaction have gone through special learning and practice training over the past few years, and it is far from the little pimp in the past. Just Wufeng's words made him realize the core of the problem that the Lord wants to explore.
"It's hard to say that two million harbors of grain are not too much or too little. Such a quiet input is not too much. Moreover, the superintendent Situ Biao and the Maqi Khan are still in a state of hostility. Do you think there is no strangeness in the middle? Also, if the South Ocean Alliance wants to import this batch of grain into the empire through the Maqi Khan territory, wouldn't they seek the opinions of the Maqi Khan first? If it's safe alone, they can transport it to Yuhang by sea and then to Jinling through the canal or directly to Laizhou. However, this will take too long and a long sea journey will be under the control of the Navy of the Three Kingdoms Alliance. The risk is too great." Wufeng did not dare to make a sudden statement. Once this joint front is formed, it will be the Bering Sea from the South Ocean to the Duodu people, spanning the entire eastern continent from south to north, which is equivalent to a barrier without gaps that separates the Western Front from the west.
Nodded silently, Little Willy didn't say anything else. After all, he was just an intelligence officer and was not qualified to discuss these major issues related to the entire strategy of Xijiang. It was enough that he could only do the work he should do well.
"Okay, go, your sister is in the inner courtyard. Well, maybe you haven't gotten up yet. Please inform me first. Pay attention to your whereabouts and safety. If you encounter an emergency, you can immediately escape to the west city for protection from Song Tianxiong. I will return to your sister soon. Everything needs to be careful." He waved his hand lightly. He originally wanted to be the young man he had cultivated, but now Wufeng, who knows that the situation has changed, is not very happy. He now needs to be alone and think about his own countermeasures if this situation really happens.
The room returned to quiet. Wufeng, who was wandering alone in the room, carefully pondered the sudden change. Situ Biao's attitude change should be said to be a sign of a sign, but Wufeng did not expect Situ Biao to become so thorough this time. The news reported by Little Willie was enough to prove that Situ Biao was fully supporting Situ Tai to fight with him, but will he meet him in a war?
Wufeng was not afraid of Situ Biao's military strength. Apart from the Sixth Army, the military power in Situ Biao's hands was almost negligible, especially the Fifth Army still looked majestic, but only at the last moment could he know who this force belonged to. From various signs, Situ Biao was afraid that he would prefer financial and material support Situ Tai to go to war with himself. In this way, he could hide in the dark to avoid being attacked by himself, and in the second place he might also want to free up his hands to solve the problems of Jiujiang and Huzhou. Thinking of this, Wufeng couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
There is still no news from Fujie and Wang Jiexiu, but the two of them stayed in Jiujiang and Milan and did not leave seem to give Wufeng a glimmer of hope. Especially Cheng Dayou's movements made Wufeng feel even more worried. If Cheng Dayou really turned to Situ Tai or Situ Biao, then his situation might be much more passive. If Cheng Dayou can really use it for him, it will be the sharpest sharp knife in his hand. He can play a great role in whether it is Situ Tai or Situ Biao. I hope Liu Fujie's eloquence can bring good luck to him.
What about the Maqi Khans? Can the Fourth Legion and two security divisions complete the defense of the entire peninsula? The answer is obviously no. If the Maqi Khans do not take action, they will do their best once they try. They will never be as sluggish as the last time. Although the Fourth Legion has a strong combat power, its front line is too long and the peninsula territory has recently surrendered, and it is calm on the surface, but it is hard to say what will happen if the Maqi Khans army is approaching. It seems that it is time to push the Sixth Legion to the front line.
The defense of the three prefectures of Sanjiang County has been greatly improved after so long. Although the three divisions of the Lin family are still a little difficult to defend Sanjiang, as long as they stay in the city, even if they launch an attack, the Maqi Khans will make at most on the land in a short period of time. As long as the three prefectures, especially Jiangchuan City, are in their hands, it is worthless even if they occupy some towns. The Maqi Khans should not make such a bad move. And their first legion can appropriately adjust the defense position to the south and assume the responsibility of the strategic reserve team in case of reinforcements at any time. Sanbao, Moro, Legon, and Matterdam, a series of city names emerged in Wufeng's mind. The too long border line has actually become a huge burden. The word "unprepared" appears in Wufeng's mind from time to time, but in the final analysis, it is that he has made too many enemies and too few real allies, especially in the south.
The door was knocked open with a slam. Wufeng, who was shocked, subconsciously pressed the knife on his waist, but when he saw Su Jie rushing into the room, he had to suppress his dissatisfaction, and he was about to happen: "Ajie, what's wrong with you so disobeying, and you're not afraid of damaging your image as the secretary of the secret room!"
"Your Highness, you're very happy, a victory in the northwest!" Su Jie no longer cared about Wufeng's slightly reproachful attitude. During this period, the battle reports and information from all parties made her and Qin Shuangying breathless, but there was almost nothing to be happy about. Although Wufeng had no performance on the surface, Su Jie knew that her lover was still a little uneasy in her heart. Getting up from time to time at night was enough to prove this. Therefore, she did not complain about her lover's obsession with the body of the Shi family's two beauties. She had to bear such a great pressure. It was understandable to seek a channel to resolve the problem. She was smart and intelligent. She knew that sometimes this independent and special man needed not the care and comfort she needed like other men, but to give him the chance to relax himself as much as possible. Only in this way can he relax his nerves as much as possible.
He grabbed the stack of letters and letters from Ling Tianfang in Su Jie's hand, and browsed by ten lines at a glance. Wufeng could no longer control his emotions, and rose up and whistled to the sky, "God helps me! Good, Ling Tianfang, you are doing well!"
He was so excited that he was pacing back and forth in the room like a tiger locked in a cage. For so long, today was probably the happiest day for me. Luo Beiren was defeated, and he was defeated so thoroughly. Wufeng didn't care how many Luo Bei's army had been wiped out. What he was interested in was that the anti-Western Xinjiang forces led by Tuda will inevitably lead to a complete loss of power in the entire Luo Bei upper class. The one who replaced them will be pro-Western Xinjiang forces. Should Wat also go from behind the scenes to the front?
For a moment, Li Wufeng had a lot of thoughts. Luo Bei, a confidant enemy, may even transform himself into his loyal ally. This entry and exit will greatly improve his strategic situation. Now, the Central Continent will no longer be able to challenge his own power in the short term. He can be assured and bold as he can free up his hands to deal with the war situation in the east. In contrast, the troubles brought to him by Situ Biao and Maqi Khan were also diluted a lot. As long as he can deal with the east wholeheartedly, Li Wufeng has the confidence to face any challenge.
As for the idea of properly preserving Luo Beiren's strength mentioned in the letter, this is also in line with Wufeng's view. An overly weakened Luo Bei is not in line with the interests of Western Xinjiang. Xijiang not only wants Luo Bei to become his own barrier on the Tenggeri grassland and fight against the increasingly powerful Chidi people, but also wants Luo Beiren to gradually integrate into the Western Xinjiang ruling system like the Mot and the Tubu people. Luo Bei's cavalry will also act as the vanguard of his own conquering cities and lands like them. Li Wufeng is sure that after learning that Luo Beiren suffered another failure in the east, the Chidi people will definitely tear up the peace agreement with Luo Beiren, and when will the dog fall into the water? If he pursues Luo Beiren again, he is afraid that Luo Beiren will really fall apart and become a second-class citizen on the Tenggeri grassland. This is not what Li Wufeng wants to see.
However, although you can let Luo Beiren go, it does not mean letting go of the hostile forces in Western Xinjiang. With this defeat and the breakup of the Chidi people, I believe that Wat can stand up with the support of Doni. As long as you can survive the Chidi people, Luo Beiren will truly become a sharp sword in his hand. Now it is time for the Hansen Alliance and other guys to work hard. I hope Plovran and his fiancée will not let him down.
The emergency order from the imperial capital surprised both Shene and Lin Guowei. The entire Sixth Army withdrew from Sanjiang and turned east and then south to enter Zhongnan County through Myanmar. Although the order was implemented without fail, once the Sixth Army all evacuated this area, the Lin family army with only three divisions would have to face the opposite Maqi Khan alone, which made Lin Guowei, who was in charge of military affairs, subconsciously felt a little nervous. The Maqi Khan would not not notice the change in Sanjiang's military strength. Although the defense of the three prefectures has been strengthened again, after all, there is only one division stationed in each prefecture. If faced with the full attack of the Maqi Khan, Lin Guowei was not sure that he could withstand the attack of the Maqi Khan.
Lin Guowei felt the pressure, and Mulige was once again in a hurry. When he received a warning from the imperial capital, he did not have a moment of ease. From Ya, the northmost Ya to Sanbao, the southernmost Sanbao, the defense responsibilities of the entire peninsula were thrown on him, especially Kutterdam and Legon directly faced the blades of the Machikhans. Although the eastern end of Yada was a barren hill covered with various shrubs, the infantry that the Machikhans could conquer battles could still enter this area through infiltration. If the enemy gained a breakthrough from here, the entire peninsula would completely lose contact with the Western Xinjiang.
He had only one legion and two unreliable security divisions in his hands. It was obviously a bit difficult to defend such a long front, especially Kutterdam and Legon were waiting for the opponent's attack like two pieces that extended into the Machikhan sphere of influence, and Yada dared not ignore it.
After some discussion, Mulige and Wenna initially determined that although the imperial capital reported in the letter that both the Machi Khan and the Nanyang Alliance could launch an attack on the peninsula area, based on the front line movements at present, the Machi Khan's war mobilization has been basically completed and can launch an attack in a short time. Although the Nanyang Alliance has also improved its combat readiness level, given the efficiency of the Nanyang Alliance parliament and the lessons learned from the previous battle, the two unanimously agreed that the Nanyang Alliance's direct troops to attack the peninsula area in a short period of time, the focus of defense should be on the front line of Legon to Cutterdam. Of course, Yada should not relax. The Sixth Legion has been ordered to move south quickly, at least to take on the defense of Yada's front line, and can even assist in the defense of Kutterdam. The main responsibility of the Fourth Legion is still to defend the most dangerous Laigon. Now Mulige and Wenna can only do this.
Chapter completed!
