After finally sending Situ Yutang away, Wufeng felt a little tired physically and mentally. Faced with the unfavorable situation, there were many things that needed to be handled internally. Wufeng deeply realized that it was difficult to support a world with one or two counselors alone. Moreover, with the expansion of the territory and power he controlled, both government and military affairs, he was exhausted. Have he taken over power too much? Wufeng had actually thought about this problem for a long time, but he had never been able to come up with a feasible solution, especially in his hands, not many people who could trust and have the talents that he could look up to. He also controlled the entire Northwest County and Northern Luzon region. Now there are more Lulong and Xikang prefectures, which indirectly affect the control of Wusun, Baiga and the Nanteluke region. The territory is already quite large, but there is a lack of an overall conception and planning, which has always been a headache for Wufeng.

It would be great if there were more people who could help you share these things. Wufeng suddenly had such an idea in his mind at this time. Can he set up some talents that could be used by combining public selection and recommendation and recruitment? As long as he could ensure loyalty, he could only hire him. If he could find a few talented people with great talent in it, he could also get a breather and free up his energy to consider some long-term plans.

The eyes returned to the map on the desk. Hanzhong and Longdong were like dumbbells, and both ends of the map were firmly lying firmly across the center of the map. Unexpectedly, the court actually came to do this, using the control of the two palaces of Hanzhong and Longdong and the title of kings as bait to seduce him and Lin Lang's family. The description of the second peach killing three soldiers may not be appropriate, but this peach is a bit touching, and even he is a little moved, let alone those two families. Although this is obviously a huge trap. The throne does not seem to be very attractive to him, but the importance of these two palaces is indeed extraordinary. Whoever can control these two palaces will have the key to dominate the Central Plains. But this is also a hot potato. Some people are willing to do things like taking the chestnut from the fire, but it depends on how fat the chestnut is and how big the fire is.

But how would the Lin Lang family view this issue? They originally planned to negotiate with the Lang family to resolve the legacy of the Xikang World War. If it was possible to even loosen the alliance and launch a joint attack on Hanzhong. If the court took such a move, their purpose would probably be difficult to achieve. At present, the Lang family's strength has annexed Myanmar land and recovered several tiger generals from the Winner family. The Lin family, which has always been ranked first among the three vassals, will only become bigger. The failure to fight for Xikang will strengthen their determination to seize Hanzhong. They just don't know what measures will the Lang family take to solve this problem. Will the Lin family stand by and watch coldly?

A pencil was tossed and turned in his hand for a long time, and Wufeng's eyes were always on the map and he did not leave. His steps were still too slow. The importance of Hanzhong had already been clear. Unfortunately, he could only stare at him because of his strength. Now things are easy to change. Hanzhong Prefecture has gathered the elite of the Taiping Army in Guanxi. If you want to take it, it is afraid it will be difficult to reach the sky. What method will the Lin Lang family take to deal with it? Logically speaking, they will never give up such a rare and legitimate opportunity, even if they have to pay a certain price.

There were footsteps outside the door, "Sir, Lord Linghu is asking for a visit."

"Please come in." Wufeng finally put down the pencil in his hand, picked up the clear green teacup on the desk and took a sip.

"Linghu Yi has met the master." The thrilling Linghu Yi changed his cynicism in the field troops. After a standard military salute, he sat down at Wufeng's greeting.

"Linghu, we are all old acquaintances. Without outsiders, it's better to be more relaxed. If you keep this face tight all day long, you won't feel tired. I feel so nervous. They are all old brothers, don't pay too much attention to common etiquette." Wufeng patted the other person's shoulder intimately and said with some emotion, "Why are the longer the days and the bigger the officials, the brothers are a little separated?"

"Haha, sir, as long as you don't know, I, Linghu Yi, can't pretend to be serious." Linghu Yi is also an old man under Wufeng. He has always been favored by Wufeng. Otherwise, he would not be able to identify the key positions like the Military Intelligence Bureau. When he saw his boss's words, Linghu Yi suddenly returned to his original state and sat down carelessly, "Sir, are you still studying military information?"

"Well, do you know the official documents of the Imperial Administration? It has been given a clear text. Who can win Hanzhong and Longdong for the Empire? Not only can he serve as the governor of Guanxi County, but he also granted the title of Prince. Hoho, this is a new thing that has never happened since the establishment of this dynasty. The big girl is in the sedan chair for the first time." Wufeng took a sip of tea again, as if he was savoring the best Biluochun from Jiangnan, and slowly said this.

"Haha, sir, this is just a bigger bait, and the Lin Lang family will not be unable to see it." Linghu Yi still looked indifferent, "No matter how tempting it is, it is also a bait. The Taiping Army in Hanzhong is not a vegetarian. There are also dangerous mountains around the Hanzhong Basin, with only a few roads available and dangerous passes to guard. The Lin Lang family will not be so stupid, right?"

"Linghu, what you said makes sense, but don't underestimate the Lin Lang family. The decades of accumulation are not comparable to that of us. It may cost us to conquer Hanzhong. However, it is easy for Lin Lang family to take down the Lujiang and Bashan prefectures from the Lin Lang family. You can also understand that these two families are definitely not that simple in dealing with the Taiping Army." Wu Feng's tone was very plain, but Linghu Yi could still hear the implication.

"My sir, what are the killer moves of the Lin Lang family? Isn't the Taiping Army's retreat in Lujiang and Bashan? Isn't Bo Jinchen's loss of car and protecting his handsome guy?" Linghu Yi was really suspicious, and his confused eyes were staring at his boss's face.

"I'm just a suspicion, but the Taiping Army has developed in the empire for more than ten years. You said that the corruption and depravity of the middle and lower classes of the empire are hidden and unreported, but what about the Lin Lang family? Do they know nothing about it? Are the intelligence personnel they sent in the empire's mainland all have a good meal?" Wu Feng did not answer the other party's questions directly, but instead asked the other party.

Nodding thoughtfully, Linghu Yi pondered: "What do you mean by—?"

Shaking his head, Wufeng turned his eyes to the distance outside the window, "I dare not make sure until there is indeed reliable information, but as long as the Lin Lang family launched an attack like Hanzhong, there will definitely be problems here! Lin Guoxiong and Lang Yongquan are not fools, and they will not easily spend their money on attacking dangerous obstacles, which is a waste of money. What we want, they should also want, and they have a first move for more than ten years of development. Linghu, think about this carefully!"

He nodded silently, Linghu Yi gradually put away his careless appearance and carefully pondered the problems here. After a while, he said: "But sir, no matter how we think of a solution now, it will be difficult for the Lin Lang family to be compared with the preparations for more than ten years. If we attack for a strong attack, we will not be able to bear such a huge loss. I wonder what you think about this?"

First of all, you must understand the intention of your superiors so that you can have a clear idea. Linghu Yi knows that his superiors are also worried about this issue. Whether it is the Lin family or the Lang family, if any of them really swallows Hanzhong, it will not be a good thing for the northwest side. Especially the Lang family, which even stuck the neck of his own way to advance east. If they take Longdong again, the situation will be unimaginable. If the Northwest Army wants to enter the Central Plains, it will be a dream. However, letting the Taiping Army dominate Hanzhong and Longdong is not in the interests of the northwest. In this way, the northwest will lose the opportunity to enter the Central Plains. The best way is to join forces with the Lin Lang family to compete with these two places and then turn against each other, and use their strength to determine the final destination of the two places.

Thinking of this, Linghu Yi raised his eyes and looked at his boss. Wufeng's face also had a contemplative look. After a long time, he said: "I'm afraid that it's the best way to join forces with the Lin Lang family. However, there are many straightforward things in between. It's not too long to delay too long. The Lang family will definitely take this opportunity to retrieve the thousands of prisoners. We have to suffer another loss."

"Isn't it a common method for you to take small losses and take advantage of big benefits? It doesn't matter, we will take back the capital and profit at that time." Linghu Yi smiled and flattered: "But as the adults said, even if an agreement can be reached, this alliance may still be disintegrated at any time, and it is probably difficult to coordinate the offense."

"It's okay, I didn't plan to attack Longdong. If the Lin Lang family had no other means, let them fight the war of attrition. If there was a killer weapon, we could do nothing. It would be fine to watch the battle on the side. However, we have to maintain our strength to suppress the eastern border of Hanzhong and pay attention to the southern battle situation at any time. As long as the Lin Lang family breaks through, I guess the Taiping Army in Hanzhong will collapse. At that time, if we can use psychological offensive to persuade surrender, we can also occupy a dangerous situation. At least we can get a springboard to step into Hanzhong, and the Lin Lang family will not be able to achieve full success." Wufeng's mouth showed a cunning smile, obviously he had a backup plan.

After hearing Wufeng's words, Linghu Yi didn't understand. His boss's distant mind made him unable to help but swear. "This move is indeed wonderful. The Taiping Army was originally a mob. Now he can still maintain his spirits when he is in danger. But once he is broken through, he feels that the situation is hopeless, and other people will also decline in morale. This is indeed our opportunity."
