Chapter fifty-two turbulent
Looking at the brothers in front of him, Wufeng felt a little moved. He didn't expect that he would spend such a unique way in the imperial capital. In addition to the guards on normal duty, other guards who followed Wufeng to the imperial capital were almost gathered here. Although the hall was large enough, dozens of people suddenly squeezed into it, it still seemed a little crowded.
Seeing that Wufeng had already sat on the main seat, Song Tianxiong leaned over and said, "Sir, brothers, all the others are here according to your opinion, except those on duty."
Nodding, Wufeng stood up, picked up a glass of traditional rice wine from the Tang people in front of him, stood up, and looked at the guards full of respect, Wufeng was also a little excited: "Come on, brothers, today is our traditional festival of Tang people - staying up with the New Year, tomorrow is the annual spring festival. Most of the brothers here are following my old subordinates from the Guard system. Well, there are also good men recruited by me, Li Wufeng, in the northwest. It depends on all the brothers who can have today. The old year is about to pass and the new year is about to come. I believe that with the group of passionate men under Li, no matter where we go, we will hold our heads up and walk at will. No one can stop us from moving forward. I won't say anything extra today. Come on, let's have this cup, and let us make us more glorious next year!"
Wufeng's passionate words made the guards here excited. They were originally conquered by Wufeng's super-class personal charm. Even if they sacrificed ten lives for Wufeng, they would never care. As Wufeng's close guard, he was such a noble identity. In the northwest, even the common people would respect them because they shoulder the safety of Lord Li Wufeng, the protector of the people of the northwest.
Moved by Wufeng's sensational words, everyone present stood up and raised their heads and fucked them all. There was no extra words, only loyalty and blood.
Song Tianxiong stood behind Wufeng and silently stared at the back of his master Xiongjian, his heart was ups and downs. Why did this person in front of him always get the admiration of his subordinates in every move? Even after listening to his words, he couldn't help but feel like he was whistling to the sky. This made him feel that he was not following the wrong person. Following such a master, even if he died in the battlefield, it was far better than dying from the bedside, and he had no regrets. After all, he had a glory of his own.
Even on New Year's Eve, Lu Wenfu did not end up in peace. The information sent one after another made him stay up late until late at night for several days. Several times, his wives and concubines came to persuade him to take a rest. However, the severe situation made him unable to fall asleep at all. Almost all the information was reflected that in the Beiyuan of the Empire, the so-called Taiping Cult in Yanyun County had a considerable foundation, but the local government maintained a relationship with them that the well water did not violate the rivers, and they even assisted the government in educating the local people.
Seeing this, Lu Wenfu couldn't help but stand up irritably, threw the information presented to the ground, and opened the window. The sky outside was still bright, but his heart was filled with haze.
It was simply a big joke in the world. The key object of suspicion in his mind was to help the government educate the people. This certainly shows the incompetence of the local government, and on the other hand, it also shows how deep the so-called Taiping Cult is hidden and how good it is to cover it up. Thinking of this, Lu Wenfu felt a chill on his back for no reason. Could it be that these guys really have any big conspiracy? If there is, what would it be? Will it have something to do with the countries in the north?
He bent down and picked up the information again. Lu Wenfu's pretty thick back seemed to be a little hunched at this moment. The deeper it was hidden, the more thoughtful it was! He repeatedly chewed every sentence in the information, as if he wanted to find more useful information from the lines, Lu Wenfu slowly sat back on the seat.
After a long time, Lu Wenfu put down this top-secret information until he couldn't find anything worth analyzing. Judging from the current situation, more or less people in the local government were involved. No matter what kind of plot was, it had already posed a considerable harm to the empire. How could these guys be dug out in a short while? Not to mention that no one was missing, at least the main heads must be screened out. The local internal departments could not believe it. At least in this matter, it was related to the internal officials of various governments. It was difficult to say whether there was any involvement in this.
Lu Wenfu felt a headache. Although there were many staff members of the General Administration, the internal affairs department had too wide jurisdiction, involving all aspects of the empire, and everything in detail would eventually gather in the General Administration. The General Administration was also uneven. Both his deputy had complicated backgrounds behind him. He was just doing his job, but he was unwilling to let others down.
He sighed, returned to the case, picked up a piece of information, swept it over, and immediately attracted his attention. The information content was very simple, reflecting that the personnel stationed in the imperial capitals of Sanjiang County and Tiannan County of the Empire have been extremely active recently, frequently visiting ministers, princes and princes, and also contacted some eunuchs in the palace. This information immediately aroused Lu Wenfu's high vigilance. The eunuchs are more or less related to the concubines of His Majesty the Emperor's harem. What was the Lin family and Lang family at this moment?
I read it carefully again, but still found no loopholes. Could it be that I was really suspicious? Maybe it was the New Year's Spring Festival and the Lang family who made a routine New Year greeting to ease their relationship with the central government? Lu Wenfu comforted himself. It was difficult for many years of professional experience to tell him that there was always something wrong in the middle. Why did so many personnel related to diplomatic affairs come to the imperial capital instead of the habitual ritual department? Lu Wenfu keenly smelled an abnormal smell from this.
What exactly does Lin and Lang's family have predicted when they acted like this at the same time? Lu Wenfu thought hard and said that it was already the end of the year. Could it be that there would be any abnormal movement? Could it be that these two families were about to start a war? Lu Wenfu suddenly stood up, but the lack of military information made him unable to make any judgment. He has never heard of the two families having had a serious relationship recently.
Lu Wenfu shook his head helplessly. Maybe he was too sensitive. He was old and became more suspicious about anything. From the moment he looked like he was going to fight. A heavy feeling of fatigue deeply entangled him, making him feel as if he was a few years old.
"Sir, Lord Cai is urgently asking for a meeting outside." The guards' urgent notice interrupted the lively family banquet, and the hall full of guests suddenly calmed down.
Frowning, He Zhiqiu stood up calmly and signaled his wife to take over today's family feast. Without showing any unhesitation, he turned around and followed the guard out of the hall, "Go and invite Lord Cai to the study."
"Yes, sir." The guard turned and trotted out.
"Sir, I'm disturbing you. The situation is a bit urgent, so I came immediately after receiving the information." The thin middle-aged man standing in front of He Zhiqiu to report was Cai Heng, the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the new intelligence agency under the General Administration of Military Affairs.
"Well, sit down and talk." He Zhiqiu knew it was a difficult thing when he heard it. It was definitely not a good thing to report it now, but it must not be a problem with the southern line.
"Some time ago, intelligence personnel reported that the troops of Sanjiang County and Tiannan County were redeploying. Since there was news that Sanjiang County was quelling ethnic minority rebellion, it did not attract our attention. However, recently, the main troops of Tiannan County and Sanjiang County have been making secret adjustments, with a large range of movements, and it seems that they are going to take military action. So after receiving the last information this afternoon, I think I'd better report it to you first." The thin man's tone was still a little hesitant, and it was obvious that the information obtained was not very accurate.
"Oh? Is it so serious?" He Zhiqiu couldn't help but tremble when he heard that the Lin Lang family had signs of military operations. Could it be that the Lin Lang family would rebel at this joint eye? It is impossible, absolutely impossible. He immediately denied the absurd idea that surged in his mind. No one would dare to attack the empire at this time. This would arouse the turbulent anger of all the Tang people, and it would only be worth the loss, and the Lin Lang family would not.
"Yes, sir, their army's mobilization is no longer like a normal change of defense, but more like preparing for military operations." The thin man quickly answered.
"Is this the case between both parties?" He Zhiqiu was very surprised. Could it be that the Lin Lang family was preparing to have a Changchun battle during the Spring Festival? It's impossible. How could these two families fight inexplicably at this time? This is simply a fantasy. He shook his head.
"Yes, sir, both sides are making secret transfers, but it seems that the adjustments seem to be heading south." The thin man then added.
"Oh? Xiangnan?" The map of the south immediately appeared in He Zhiqiu's mind, "Xiangnan?!" He immediately realized that these two guys could not bear the loneliness.
In Nanfeng Prefecture, the capital of Tiannan County, the imperial military and political military governor's mansion was brightly lit, and the figures coming and going indicate that something unusual will happen. Lang Yongquan, dressed in military uniform, was concentrating on checking the map on the wall, and several staff members next to him were respectfully waiting for the governor to issue orders. There was also a middle-aged man in military uniform and a man dressed in a scholar beside Lang Yongquan, naturally, Xie Changyang, the commander of the Tiannan Second Army, and his chief aide Yang Mubai.
"Changyang, how are you preparing?" Lang Yongquan raised his head and asked kindly. Under the fiery red candlelight, Lang Yongquan, wearing military uniform and with a tough face, looked even more extraordinary.
"Sir, everything is ready. If there is no accident, the attack should have been smoothly launched in two hours." Xie Changyang, who had a black face, was originally the son of a servant. He grew up with Lang Yongquan since he was a child. Lang Yongquan had never treated him like a person now, and he also asked him to study with him. The relationship between the two was like a brother. When Lang Yongquan took over his father's power in Tiannan County, Xie Changyang naturally became Lang Yongquan's absolute confidant. He first took over as the deputy commander of the Tiannan First Legion. After the Second Legion was formed, Lang Yongquan immediately made him the commander of the Second Legion, and naturally became the second figure of the Tiannan Army.
