It should be said that Philip V was the first prophet to realize that Li Wufeng would agree to the Tanghe Empire in a short period of time, and that he might launch an offensive against neighboring countries in a short period of time. The Second Army was sent to the southern peninsula, and Li Wufeng's ambition was seen in the dangerous battle in the northern clouds. Li Wufeng's appetite for part-time jobs is not ordinary. Even at the critical moment of the Yunzhong Battle in the Tanghe Empire's struggle for hegemony, he still wanted to control the southern peninsula. This shows the ambition of this guy.
The participation of the Puer and Doton people in the war did not change the outcome of the Yunzhong War, but it dragged them into the Tanghe Empire's battle for hegemony. After experiencing the Yunzhong War, the Situ family was no longer able to change themselves. The fate of Li Wufeng will be the same even if these people are added. And once Li Wufeng agrees to complete the great cause of the Tanghe Empire, where will the saber point? Will neighboring countries like this that have hindered Li Wufeng from advancing his great cause of unification become the first targets he chooses to attack? And when Li Wufeng's butcher knife has been pointed at Dodon or Poole, what should the Heathrow Empire, which is also in Liberia, do
The words "the lips are dead and the teeth are cold" are definitely not a joke, especially for the countries of Liberia. Philip V understands this point more clearly than anyone else. Once the Tanghe Empire rises again, the countries of Liberia will all The encirclement formed by the Baiin people in the north, the nomads in the west, and the Tanghe people in the south has almost become Li Wufeng's ally. Who can believe Li Wufeng's promise to Li Bo? There is absolutely no territorial claim in the Asia-Pacific Plain and no stereotypes or hostility towards the Liberians? What's more, now that the Dodon and Puer people are actually involved again after the hatred that they had after finally resolving the Northern War, Philip V does not believe that the Tanghe people will forget this war, but Philip V believes that at least in the short term It is better not to create obvious excuses for the other party.
But it seems that the Dodon and the Pu people are not so sensitive to this. Philip V does not know why Sezerif IX and Andrei intervened in this battle so hastily, especially since it has gradually emerged in Western Xinjiang. When they were acting like kings, they were involved without knowing the current affairs, and when their own country was not fully prepared, this decision seemed even more abrupt and hasty. I don’t know if the outcome of the Battle of Yunzhong will have any impact on the two countries. Fortunately, the Kaman Empire did not participate in this process due to internal strife. Philip V believed that even if Kaman participated with his own side, it might not be possible. play a decisive role. The worst case scenario is that Li Wufeng gave up control of the peninsula. Philip V was extremely disappointed with the Situ family. He did not believe that such a decadent regime could achieve its goals by relying solely on external forces. There has never been such a thing in the world, but Thinking about these now seems too hollow. At this time, Philip V can only silently hope that Pokaninski's visit can have a certain effect in making countries change their ways and join forces to solve their own domestic problems first and prepare for future crises. Good material foundation.
The news that the Battle of Yunzhong ended with the complete defeat of the Northern Allied Forces was like a thunderbolt hitting the wall of the imperial capital. The entire Imperial City was on the verge of collapse. At this moment, countless hidden cracks in the ground finally shook off the moss and vines covering the surface and began to appear. The Northern Alliance Army with half a million elite soldiers was defeated under a small cloud city. This cannot help but disappoint all the conservative nobles of the empire who once had great hopes for Situ Tai's Northern Army. Now they can no longer describe their mood with disappointment. From disappointment to despair, they don't know what else they should choose. .
At the beginning, Situ Yushuang went door-to-door to seek support and help. Although the gentry and nobles had little money to give, they thought they were just grasshoppers tied to a rope. If you don't support the other party, I'm afraid that once the Situ family is finished, the Li family forces that replace them will inevitably kick out these great nobles who were once the cornerstone of the Situ family. Then their fate will be even more tragic, so when Situ Yushuang explained the stakes At that time, although these people were reluctant in every possible way. But they finally gave in. Destiny pushed them into the same chariot, and they had no choice.
For the big financiers in the imperial capital who supported the Situ family, the result of this battle was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. They may not have had any hope that the Northern Army could completely defeat the Western Xinjiang Army and the Situ family could reunify the empire. But they held some unrealistic fantasies, such as separatist rule or dividing rivers to rule. These ideas seemed absurd, but they never expected that the Northern Army would still have an absolute advantage in this situation. They fled from Yunzhong Fucheng in embarrassment. As a result, the financiers of the imperial capital who had lost countless gold coins completely closed the door to the Situ family. When the Situ family came to visit again, they received no reply. The exception is that the master has left Beijing to attend the Eastern Continent Financial Conference of the Nanyang Alliance and will not return to Beijing until two months later.
Like thunder and spring breeze. In short, when the news of the battle in the clouds spread in the imperial capital, since countless cracks opened, new seeds naturally sprouted.
Tian Yi was very surprised that Li Wufeng arranged for him to meet with him. He never thought that Li Wufeng could arrange such a secret spokesperson in the imperial capital. The Gu family was a prestigious family in the imperial capital and even the entire northern part of the empire. Its land transportation Business plays a decisive role in Heshuo, Beiyuan and even Yanyun. It's just that the Gu family has always been very low-key in the imperial capital. The head of the family is said to have retired long ago, and the Gu family's industry is also said to have long been in the hands of the eldest son of the Gu family. However, the eldest son of the Gu family seems to be more low-key than his father. According to Tian As far as Yi knows, it seems that the de facto head of the Gu family has never attended any public gathering of the upper class in the imperial capital. Perhaps the only thing that can attract people's attention is the Canglang Study in front of this building, which collects various books. It is said to be the biggest hobby of the successor of the Gu family.
Tian Yi originally thought that Li Wufeng might ask people from the Huey family to meet with him, but he did not expect that Li Wufeng had such a bigger secret in the imperial capital, and Li Wufeng's ability to expose this secret to him was enough to show his opposition. His own belief and sincerity, no matter where Li Wufeng goes in the future, at this point Tian Yi still admires the other party's courage and strategy.
"Master Tian, it's been a long time. Gu Ji is being polite." For Tian Yi, a veteran of the empire's political arena, who has survived for decades, at this time he could have safely withdrawn from this turbulent flow and stopped interfering in worldly affairs. With his status and the accumulation of many years of officialdom, he can even enjoy life peacefully anywhere in the mainland, but now the other party has resolutely stepped into his side. Gu Ji does not believe that the other party is doing it for power. After all these years, Tian Yi In his official career, the Finance Minister of the Tanghe Empire has reached a very high position. It is impossible for him to have any other unreasonable thoughts. So what does the other party want
"My nephew, please call me my nephew. Your father and I also have some friendship. It's just that over the years, your father has devoted himself to cultivating Taoism and stopped getting involved in worldly affairs, so we have fewer contacts. When we met today, I was very surprised. I was surprised. I didn’t expect that His Highness King Qin and Nephew Gu Xian also had such a deep friendship. I was thinking that Nephew Gu Xian was also muttering deep in his heart that this old guy would have to get involved in the chaos of the world at this time. Legs, I'm afraid I can't understand them." The elegant pavilion of Canglang Study was very quiet. Although the autumn colors were thick outside the window, the interior was full of greenery. The child poured boiling water into the teacups of the two of them and left silently. Only two people remained.
Situ Yushuang has never relaxed his monitoring of Tian Yi. Although there is no real evidence of the gold reserve worth 200 million gold shields, this huge amount of gold has always made Situ Yushuang worried, even though Tian Yi behaved very well in other aspects. Cooperating with each other, Situ Yushuang still suspected that the gold was not misappropriated by his father as the other party said. The custodian of the imperial treasury at that time was a confidant of Sitian Yi. He had either died of illness or had already moved to the Western Continent, leaving behind The basis for this was just a brief note stamped with Situ Mingyue's seal, which did not explain the problem at all. However, due to the lack of other evidence, and the current situation that did not allow Situ Yushuang to provoke at will, the matter could only be shelved.
Tian Yi had long realized that Situ Yushuang and the Empire Central Committee had never relaxed their pursuit of him, but he didn't care. The little tricks of the junior members of the Situ family could not be staged in front of him, and he also knew that the other party was not ready now. Dare to deal with himself, so he is very calm. The two hundred million gold shields of gold cannot be eaten by himself, and he has no intention of swallowing this gold. The Situ family is not the only one paying attention to the whereabouts of this gold. Tian Yiqing has people in the General Administration of Finance who know about this matter. There are quite a few, including chess pieces from the Xijiang side. The Tian family has too many ties within the empire and has offended many people. Seeing that Xijiang is approaching the imperial capital step by step, he has to leave a note for his family. Way back.
"Uncle Tian is out of touch when he says this. Uncle Tian has been up and down in the imperial political arena for decades, and every shocking thing is done to benefit the country and the people. Now the Situ family is putting the people in dire straits. His Highness the King of Qin has taken the initiative to revive our Tanghe." The righteous banner of the clan, I have no choice but to follow Jiwei. During Uncle Tian's trip today, there is no need to consider the threats and threats from others. Xijiang will never allow the forces that support Xijiang to be violated."
