"This is Qingyang City?" The man in casual clothes in his thirties looked at the city tower getting closer and closer in front of him in surprise. He couldn't believe that the decayed and depressed look of Qingyang a few years ago was gone, replaced by For such a majestic large city, the prosperity here can be seen just from the flow of people coming and going from the city gate. As for the city, you should be able to imagine the prosperous scene inside.
"Yes, General." The attendant next to him replied respectfully.
Looking at the bustling scene in front of him, although he was quite mentally prepared, after all, he was very shocked when he passed by Vito City, but it was a sad place for his motherland, and he didn't want to stop too much. So he just passed by with a quick glance, and the big city in front of him really gave him a huge impact.
The endless flow of caravans, hurried travelers from all over the world, good road facilities, and vaguely visible city defense buildings are too numerous to mention. Just by looking at the race and skin color, you can see how great the changes here have been. It is far from the dilapidated small town of the past. It can also be seen from the clothing that the living conditions of the residents here are far better than when I came here to understand the situation. . There have been such earth-shaking changes in just a few years, and you have to admit that the person who created all of this is an unusual guy.
"Li Wufeng, Li Wufeng, I have never met you on the battlefield, but Qingyang City has changed like this in just a few years. It's not okay for me, Kruff, not to be convinced." He sighed softly. The man reined in the horse and murmured to himself as he looked at the scene in front of him.
"General, let's go into the city. It's getting late." The attendant couldn't help but said when he saw that his master had been sitting on the horse in a daze.
"Yeah, it's really getting late. If you don't hurry up, you will really miss something big if you delay any longer. Let's go and go to the city to find an inn to stay." The man sitting on the horse nodded thoughtfully The leader said, his words had a profound meaning, which of course the attendants could not understand.
"General?" The attendant looked at his master in surprise, "We should go to the post house, where the facilities and safety are much better."
"You don't need to tell me where to go. I have my own reasons. Let's go." The man's face turned cold and he said rudely.
"Yes, General." The attendant quickly responded.
"Also, when you enter the city, you are not allowed to call me general again. You must call me master, remember?" the man warned while urging his horse forward.
"I understand, Master," the attendant replied obediently.
The night was deep, the moon was dark, and the stars were sparse. The man could not fall asleep. What he saw during the day really opened his eyes. Is this really the Qingyang who looked down upon him a few years ago? Needless to say, the magnificent and strong city wall is a necessary facility for the survival of a central city. No matter who controls this place, no matter how much money, manpower and material resources are spent, this must be guaranteed. Although he was a little surprised, he was not surprised. But after he spent almost half a day non-stop visiting and observing other industrial, commercial and municipal facilities in the city, he had to sit down and reconsider.
This is already a large city of considerable size, at least in Luzon. It may not be as big as Robin City, but it is not much different from the original Gyasi City. You know, a few years ago this was a rundown and impoverished border town. Compared with the current prosperity and wealth, how far is it from? A large-scale and comprehensive trade market, wide and clean streets, buildings of different styles, thriving shops, various bustling workshops, large and small caravans traveling across the mainland, warm and considerate investment agencies, All of them show that the city is in a period of rapid development.
Although he was unable to observe the training status of the army here, and the heavily guarded military zone was inaccessible to anyone else, he could hear the loud training shouts in the field from a distance, and he could imagine that this army would not be bad. where. The tight security inside and outside Qingyang City may not be easily felt by business travelers and local residents, but as a professional observer, he can detect it. Of course, he does not know whether the city has always been in this state.
In short, all this made him shocked and a little scared. It is conceivable that such a vibrant and dynamic region is developing at a rapid pace. In comparison, his own country seems to be in the sunset. Maybe it is just like him. As his cousin suggested, Li Wufeng will not take care of the Central Continent in the short term, but what about in the future? Frederick's foresight may be correct, but it is not in line with the current actual situation. The power is inferior to others, and his side has no choice now.
Thinking of this, the man felt even more upset. Indeed, the rapid development and growth of this dangerous neighbor made him feel a deep sense of crisis, but he could not think of a good way to contain or resist this threat. This was impossible. Don't make him feel anxious.
That’s all, that’s all, let’s not think too far ahead. Just like what I said to comfort Frederick, Li Wufeng’s main goal is in the east, and the huge Tanghe Empire in the east, even if everything goes smoothly for him, give him twenty years. He may not be able to succeed, not to mention the Liberian countries in the north, the Machihan people in the south, the two major vassal towns within the Tanghe people, and the Taiping Sect that has emerged now. None of them seems to be a fuel-efficient lamp. Can these problems be easily solved? With a few decades of buffer time, who knows what the continent will look like
The wrinkles on the man's forehead are slowly dissipating. At least for now, it should be considered a good idea for his side to form an alliance with Li Wufeng. This alliance can relieve both parties of their worries. It should be a win-win choice for both parties, but I wonder if the other side will see this and tolerate the shame of their side tearing up the treaty to seize Northwest Luzon and annihilating a division of the army
He himself did not dare to say that he was sure about this. After all, as far as he knew, this was the heaviest setback and failure that Li Wufeng had suffered since his debut. Soldiers who always valued honor would never easily forgive enemies who had betrayed and harmed them. , Kruff is clear.
We can only hope that Li Wufeng will have a broad mind and keen vision. Since the rumors have made him so popular, I believe he and his subordinates will not be too disappointed. Only at this time did Kruff feel that he was showing off. I can't believe how heavy the burden my brother has placed on me.
"Oh? The Luzon people's special envoy has entered the city?" Wu Feng, who had already gone to bed, had to adjust his clothes and struggle out from the physical entanglement of the women who were sleeping. Although it was very disappointing, the girls who were sleeping Everyone knew that if it was not a very important matter, people from the security department and the interior department would not come to the door together, so he could only smile apologetically at his beloved women and return to the study helplessly.
"Well, there are only two people coming, but it can be seen that the demeanor of the people coming is different from ordinary people. They don't look like single businessmen, and there don't seem to be many tourists going out this season. Plus that guy's The attendants often let slips when talking, and our people have twice heard the other party call the man "my lord" instead of "master", which is particularly obvious."
After listening to his subordinate's report, Wu Feng nodded with satisfaction, "So this guy hasn't stayed in the inn yet, but he went to live in an outside hotel anonymously? Well, he also visited and observed everywhere. It seems that he wants to see our northwest. How is the situation?" A smile appeared on Wu Feng's lips.
"Then sir ``````?"
"Don't worry about him, just let him be. Just keep an eye on him. He won't last long." Wu Feng replied with a determined expression, "The Bega people have also arrived. It seems that the show is about to begin."
Just as several parties in Qingyang City were busy preparing for the upcoming negotiations, the situation in the Jerok battle, which had been calm as water, finally changed dramatically.
On March 9, 696 in the Continental Calendar, the Kaman people gathered nearly 200,000 troops and suddenly launched a fierce offensive in Jerok. The empire and the Jerok coalition were caught off guard. The defense line was breached in an instant and they were forced to retreat. For a time, they were defeated like a landslide. On March 12, Kaman's army once again broke through the coalition's yet-to-be-completely consolidated defense line and annihilated more than 20,000 coalition troops in the middle of the Pod Plain, one hundred and sixty miles west of Merington, the capital of the Principality of Jerok. The war situation in Jerok took a turn for the worse. People in the capital, Merrington, were panicked and plunged into turmoil.
However, the vast universe seems to have no regard for the painful feelings of the Jerok people and the empire. On March 13, the heavily assembled Kaman army, led by Kaman's top general, Duke Nick, attacked Fanlin, the most important city in the northeast of the Jerok principality. An attack was launched near the city. Within three days, all the coalition forces within dozens of miles outside Fanlin City were uprooted and wiped out. The remaining coalition forces were forced to retreat into Fanlin City. On March 18, Kaman's army completed its deployment and Fanlin City is tightly besieged from all sides. In fact, Fanlin City has become an isolated city with no contact with the outside world. It is only a matter of time before the city is broken. Once Fanlin City is captured, the situation of Merrington, the capital of Jeroke, will become an isolated city just like Fanlin City now, and it will definitely follow in its footsteps.
All of this happened at an unexpected time. Even Li Wufeng, who was sitting in Qingyang, did not expect that the problem he had been worried about would happen at this time. However, everything seemed to be beyond the control of no one. The wheel of history was turning towards The established direction is running.
