The negotiator who went to the Taiping Army was Su Qin's assistant and his good friend Wang Liao, a scribe from Weiyang Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. He had a thin body and long hair randomly rolled together. He looked a bit unruly and had slightly pale cheeks. His tall cheekbones and thin lips seemed to indicate that his uniqueness may lie in this mouth.
This Wang Liao also traveled thousands of miles at the invitation of Su Qin. He and Su Qin had different backgrounds. He came from a poor civilian family, but he loved history books since he was a child. Although his family was extremely poor, he still studied hard day and night and never failed to achieve his goals. As a boy, He then traveled around to study, and later studied at Dongyang Academy, a famous private school in Gusu Prefecture, where he met Su Qin and became friends. Two months ago, he was invited by Su Qin to visit the northwest and saw the grand scene of the northwest under Wu Feng's rule. After a deep talk with Wu Feng, he generously agreed to join Wu Feng and work for Wu Feng, which made Wu Feng overjoyed.
"Haha, there's no need to be polite. Brother Wang has worked hard. Judging from Brother Wang's face, he must have gained a lot." Stepping into the door, Wu Feng saw that Su Qin and Wang Liao were already waiting in the room, and he took a moment to look at them. From the look on his face, Wu Feng knew that Wang Liao's trip was definitely worthwhile. Seeing the two of them getting up, Wu Feng waved his hands repeatedly to indicate that they didn't need to be polite.
"Thank you for your great fortune, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my mission." A hint of excitement appeared on Wang Liao's calm face. After all, this was his first mission. Of course, he was proud of being able to successfully complete the mission, but the habits he had developed over a long period of time made him very proud. He quickly calmed down.
Even though he was prepared, when Wu Feng heard this, a burst of ecstasy passed through his heart. He finally suppressed his excitement, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then asked with a smile: "It seems that we must have a chance to win." Did you get what you wanted?"
"Hey, sir, I'm afraid some things may surprise you." Su Qin next to him also smiled rarely, unable to hide the joy in his heart.
"Oh? Does Brother Wang have any surprises for me? Then I have to listen carefully." Wu Feng's eyes lit up. Could there really be a better result
"Well, although this mission was delayed for two more days, it was very fruitful. There are some situations that even you, my lord, may not be able to imagine. However, it can be seen that there are indeed some talents among the Taiping people, especially their Foresight is worthy of our careful consideration. Although it is beneficial to us in the moment, in the long run, it will be more beneficial than harmful to the Taiping people, so they readily agreed to our suggestion." Wang Liao's fair and thin cheeks Not much expression, more of a confidence.
"Well, the Taiping Religion is not without its merits. How can a group of ignorant refugee slaves be able to stir up such a big wave? I think we all should know this, especially the important ones in their sect. I'm afraid these characters are not ordinary people. It's really hard for them to hide their secrets for so many years. Well, without digressing, Brother Wang, let's talk about the gains from this trip." Wu Feng sighed a few words, Take the topic back.
"Well, this time my subordinate arrived at the Taiping Army's camp in the east of Lulong and met their coach Jiang Bin. The other party was very polite after knowing his identity, but in view of the seriousness of the matter, he did not dare to make the decision. He needs to ask for instructions. Their headquarters in Anyuan, so I waited there for a few more days, and finally met their so-called emissary in charge of external liaison and diplomatic affairs."
Before Wang Liao finished speaking, Wu Feng had already answered: "Tang Guotai?"
With the establishment of the Taiping Holy Kingdom in Anyuan City, the leading figures of the Taiping Religion who were originally hidden in the darkness also emerged. Tang Guotai was originally responsible for external liaison and publicity in the Taiping Religion. At this time, the Taiping Holy Kingdom announced After it was established, he naturally became the person in charge of this aspect in the Taiping Holy Kingdom Wenxiang Mansion. Wu Feng has always been very concerned about every move of the Taiping Holy Kingdom to the northeast of him. He has long been familiar with these situations from his brother.
"Well, that's him." Wang Liao nodded, "He made a special trip to the Taiping Army camp east of Lulong to meet with his subordinates. His subordinates knew that the top leaders of the Taiping Religion may have also noticed the offensive launched by their so-called allies in Jierok. The threat they brought, otherwise they would not take it so seriously, and my subordinates would have felt a big stone fall in their hearts at that time."
"Well, what did he say?" Wu Feng didn't want to ask too much about the details of the negotiation. He was more concerned about the outcome.
"As we expected, they are not willing to see the Kamans swallow Jerok, which is too great a threat to them. Tang Guotai is a sensible person, and the conversation with him is quite easy. His subordinates proposed to let them The Taiping Army stationed in the east of Lulong retreated to Anyuan. He expressed that it was difficult and worried that the Kaman people would see the loopholes. He promised that the Taiping Army there would never take any military action against us, and hinted that he supported our military action in Jeroke. Action." The corners of Wang Liao's thin face curled up slightly, expressing a smile, "It seems that they are also worried about the strong force shown by the Kaman people, and they also hope that we can hold back the Kaman people. .After his subordinates stated that our current strength was unable to support the Jerok people, Tang Guotai expressed that they were willing to make some goodwill performances in some aspects as a guarantee."
"Having said that, how can they reassure us that they have a hundred thousand troops stationed in Lulong? A show of goodwill? What is that?" Wu Feng shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not support this view.
"Well, this matter needs to be considered, but Tang Guotai gave his subordinates a message. The Baiin people in the north of the Kaman people seem to have started rioting. It is said that the scale is quite large. The entire Kaman people have declared martial law." Wang Liao said such shocking news with a serious face, "In addition, Tang Guotai also hinted that Emperor Delica II of Kaman was not very satisfied with his Prime Minister Gomez. Many nobles in their country also seemed to be dissatisfied with Gomez." Max is opposed to some of his policies, and I don’t know if this will affect the Kaman people’s military operations.”
"Oh?" Wu Feng was surprised and asked quickly: "What does Tang Guotai mean by this? Does he predict that there will be a coup in Kaman or something else?"
Wang Liao did not dare to make a conclusion for a while, and hesitated for a moment before saying: "My subordinates dare not make any random assertions about this issue. Brother Su and I were also exploring this issue just now. Tang Guotai pointed out this situation to reassure us. The bold support for Jerok may also exaggerate some facts, which requires further verification.”
"Well, sir, my subordinates and Brother Wang have been discussing it for a while. Based on the current strange behavior of the Kaman people, what Tang Guotai said may indeed be true. It's just that the Kaman Empire attaches great importance to the inheritance of the royal line. It is impossible for the country to easily change the throne. Of course, it is not impossible for Gomez to hold the power now and have a good relationship with the military generals. However, his subordinates concluded that it is unlikely for him to do this. After all, the royal family of the Kaman Empire is now Yiline still has a decisive influence among the great nobles of their country. Doing so will only plunge their country into chaos. It is impossible for Gomez to do such a stupid thing." Su Qin took up the conversation and expressed his own point of view.
"Well, it should be unlikely. But what do you think of the Kaman people's current performance in Jeroke? Is it related to what Tang Guotai said?" Wu Feng nodded slightly in agreement, and then Ask another question.
"My subordinates have discussed it with Brother Su and feel that what Tang Guotai said about the rebellion and riots of the Boyin people is probably true, because Tang Guotai also hinted in his words that the Boyin people should have some kind of secret connection with them. It seems that It seems that they took the lead in organizing the Bein rebellion. Of course, this has not been verified. As for the relationship between the Kaman emperor and the prime minister, as far as my subordinates know, there is some putting the cart before the horse in the Kaman court, and the emperor is mediocre. Lu Lu, the prime minister's monopoly of power will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of some nobles who support the royal family, but it is unclear to what extent, but it is probably not to the point of incompatibility." Su Qin deliberately did not speak, letting his friends Being able to show his eloquence in front of his boss, Wang Liao also understood what his friend meant and spoke boldly.
"Well, it makes sense. It seems that our action plan needs to be accelerated. Intelligence shows that the Kaman army has shown weakness on the Jerok battlefield. This is a rare opportunity. It is estimated that the Bein rebellion may also It won't be calmed down in a day or two, so we have to step up our preparations." Wang Liao's well-founded words made Wu Feng finally make up his mind, "Of course we have to send someone immediately to verify the information given to us by the Taiping people, otherwise If someone from the Taiping Sect really tricks us, it will really become a big joke."
Just as the northwest was actively preparing, a war without gunpowder was breaking out in the Kaman Empire.
In the political hall of Ningke Palace, the royal palace in the center of Budli City, the air was tense, and a chilling atmosphere filled the hall.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the riots caused by the barbarians in the north have spread everywhere. What measures have you taken to stop the spread of this situation? I don't seem to see any effective measures being implemented?" A middle-aged man wearing a royal robe and a high crown. The man came from one of the most noble families in Carman. Although he showed great respect for Gomez on the surface, the anger revealed in his words could be heard by everyone present.
"Duke Vasili, please calm down. The truth is that I have sent a large army to the north for reinforcements. I believe there will be good news soon." Gomez did not dare to ignore this man's words, although This person does not hold any important position in the court, but behind him he represents the huge aristocratic power in the empire. If he is not careful, he will be violently criticized by the great aristocrats.
"Hoho, calm down? Prime Minister, how can you tell us to calm down? The barbarians are burning, killing and looting wantonly in our territory. Your Majesty's people are crying, the houses are burning, and the fields are trampled. Can't you hear it? , or did you turn a blind eye? A regiment of reinforcements? Do you know how many Baiin people participated in the riot this time? Let me tell you, there are a million people. I really can’t understand why you want to extract the troops originally stationed in the north. Let’s go?” The middle-aged man in fine clothes sneered disdainfully, with burning anger flashing in his eyes.
