"Hoho, Miss Leng, you think too highly of these guys, and you don't know the real people deeply enough." Wu Feng's face was full of disdain, "It's not that I look down upon these people, this Western Region I really can’t see how many nobles from various countries dare to risk their lives to go against me. What they value is the wealth and power in their hands. As long as their deepest interests are not touched, how many of them are there? Will they jump out to oppose me? As for the change of the royal family? Maybe they will be a little rebellious at the time, but if it really happens, it won’t be long before they will accept it obediently. Habit is human inertia. As long as you get used to it, everything can be adapted. .I can’t see how loyal the people at the lower level are to the rulers of their country. What the people need is a stable and prosperous life. No one wants to live under the shadow of war and the threat of hunger for a long time. Looking at the changes in the lives of the people in the northwest countries in the past few years, I think the people in the countries in the western regions are not fools, they can also see the situation clearly." Speaking of the next paragraph, Wu Feng's tone was much more solemn, and it was obviously not without purpose.
The words made the white-bearded old man and Leng Ruoxing suffocate. After careful consideration, they also knew that what the other party said was true. The earth-shaking changes in the northwest in the past few years have made the people in power in the surrounding areas feel endless pressure. A trace of fear. In addition to the rapid growth of the northwest's military power, they also felt some complaints from the middle and lower classes. Even some people at the upper levels were eager to share the benefits brought by the northwest's rapid economic growth. The northwest valued industry and commerce, especially external affairs. The business exchanges have also brought a lot of economic benefits to the upper class people in the surrounding areas. This has caused panic among the core classes in power. This is also an attempt by various forces in the surrounding areas to unite to curb the expansion of the northwest forces. reason.
"Master Li, the slave family did not say that you cannot control the countries in the Western Region. Didn't you just say that? Your main goal is not here. The east is probably where your thoughts are, but the situation in the east is about to change dramatically. If the current situation in the Western Region countries is really handled according to your method, I think you will not be able to escape completely for at least a period of time. Do you want your army to be dragged here all day long to deal with the little fights caused by these people who are dissatisfied with you? Are you making trouble?" Leng Ruoxing still refused to give up. She was a strong-willed woman, and she would do her best to fulfill other people's requests.
Leng Ruoxing's words once again aroused Wu Feng's thoughts. It seems that this time the two lobbyists came prepared. Not only did they get the full support of the countries in the Western Region, they also seemed to want to seek a diplomatic solution here. Otherwise, this kind of question would not even be raised.
Looking into Leng Ruoxing's bright eyes, Wu Feng warned seriously: "No, Miss Leng, I think you misunderstood me. Although my goal is in the east, it does not mean that I will be in the west." You can give up everything. The actions of the countries in the Western Regions have seriously hurt my feelings, especially during the Wusun Kingdom’s coup last year. Girls probably know what they did. They regard the northwest as nothing and blatantly support it. Said, who has already been deposed, did it just because Sethna was friendly with Northwest. This kind of behavior is probably intolerable to anyone."
After a pause, seeing that the faces of the white-bearded old man and Leng Ruoxing were somewhat dim, Wu Feng gritted his teeth and said: "I have given up my will. If the countries in the Western Regions refuse to surrender, then we can only fight with swords. I They are benevolent outside the law, if they don’t know how to advance or retreat, then I won’t be able to blame them.”
There was a moment of silence in the living room. The pleasant and relaxed atmosphere had long since disappeared, replaced by an oppressive dullness.
Until the disappointed figures of the white-bearded old man and Leng Ruoxing disappeared outside the living room door, Wu Feng was still sitting in his chair, calmly sipping the tea, and a beautiful figure emerged from the screen behind him.
"Sir, if you do this, will the countries in the Western Region be pushed to a dead end? Then they may jump over the wall and join forces to make a final desperate move, which is not good for us." Somewhat worried, the intelligence secretary looked at his lover, hoping be able to get his true thoughts.
"Not for the time being. Tan Lizhong and Leng Ruoxing were just entrusted by the envoys from the Western Regions to find out the news. They will not do anything out of the ordinary before they get the exact information. I also hinted at Tan and Leng Ruoxing in my words. Mr. Leng, please analyze specific issues in detail and treat them differently. I believe this sentence will fall into the ears of the envoys from Kuqa, Gaochang and Bejia. They will understand the meaning. Even if you want them to unite, at this time They won't accept it, after all, they haven't seen the real conditions yet." Wu Feng smiled lightly and casually pulled the intelligence secretary over to sit on his lap.
Qin Shuangying's cheeks turned red immediately. Although there was no one in the hall, this was a living room and a public place. She had been receiving foreign guests just now, but now she was so presumptuous. Qin Shuangying couldn't accept it. She broke away from Wu Feng's big hand and said coquettishly: "Sir, what kind of place is this? Can you please respect yourself?"
"Haha, since no one saw it anyway, do we still have to sit in chairs and act sanctimonious while we are talking?" Wu Feng asked with a playful smile.
However, Qin Shuangying stopped answering and turned away from these boring topics, "Humph, you have suppressed Leng Ruoxing so hard. I think her impression of you will be greatly reduced again."
How could he not hear the sourness in the other party's words? Wu Feng said indifferently: "You underestimate her intelligence. Although she is a charlatan, she is very talented in political matters. She is better than many people who spend all day in the political arena. What I said was just to ask her to bring a message to the countries in the Western Region to put pressure on her."
"Then you still want to resolve the matter through negotiation with the countries in the Western Regions?" The smart Qin Shuangying immediately heard the implication of her lover.
"That's not necessarily the case. We must be prepared on both sides. I have ordered Helianbo to lead the four divisions of the Northern Luzon Army to their northern border. It is good if they agree this time. If they don't agree, I will have to use force. Let them wake up." Wu Feng shook his head, he was not optimistic about solving the problem through negotiation.
After receiving the report from Tan and Leng, Abuhiev's heart sank. It seemed that Li Wufeng really wanted to take action on the Loulan Kingdom. When he set off from Loulan, the situation in the country had already begun to get a bit complicated. It is unstable. It is obvious that Li Wufeng is already using other means to incite dissatisfied forces in the country to create trouble and exert pressure. Is it really impossible to avoid armed conflict? He already had a vague feeling in his heart. He was afraid that this time Li Wufeng was going to use Loulan to worship the flag, and the other countries were just a foil or a target of shock. But he didn't want to say this feeling. If he didn't even The country cannot be saved, and he has no intention to think about other countries. If they want to go to hell, they will go to hell together. Abuhiyev even has a bit of a mentality of breaking the pot and throwing it away.
The envoys from other countries who received the news also felt a little anxious. Li Wufeng's tough attitude made the envoys from several countries confused whether the gaffe would worsen, especially when large-scale violence occurred in the north and south of their own country. When the Northwestern Army invaded, they felt the heavy pressure on their shoulders. Gaochang and Bejia had completely given up their preparations for confrontation. No matter from which aspect, they were just meat on the chopping board and allowed to be slaughtered. target, but they still hope to negotiate the best results for their country. The Kuqa State envoy's mentality is a little more complicated, but when he thinks of those unscrupulous people in his country who once ordered the Huanfeng Sect to assassinate Li Wufeng, although those things have been a few years ago, at this critical moment, will Li Wufeng... What about resentment
The envoy of the Wusun Kingdom was Saibo, the Minister of State who had a close relationship with Su Qin and Liang Chongxin. He was born into the Wusun aristocracy, but his mother was a noble with a big surname in Loulan, which made his status somewhat special. He visited the northwest three times and was met by Li Wufeng. 's interview. He was re-employed after Seth Na came to power. As a staunch anti-Luobi faction, this may have a lot to do with the fact that he and his family had been bullied by the Luobi people. Not only did he himself serve as an envoy to the Luobi Luo Bei had been treated coldly and humiliated, and even one of his concubine-loving family members had been massacred by the Luo Bei people, so he hated the Luo Bei people deeply in this regard. This was another piece of secret information obtained by Wu Feng's intelligence agency. First, it is at least certain that the Minister of State, who holds considerable power in the Wusun Kingdom, will not change his position easily.
He is also a promoter who has always advocated maintaining a close relationship with the Northwest. In his eyes, the rapidly changing Northwest is simply not comparable to the crude Luobi people, and Li Wufeng's talent and strategy are also the most important factor that makes him friendly to the Northwest. He visited the Northwest several times Li Wufeng's conversation made him feel the endless world in this young man's heart. If he couldn't stop it, it would be best to become a member of his chariot and share with him the rich fruits of victory. This is what Saibo is doing. The conclusion I came to after having an in-depth conversation with Li Wufeng for the third time. The advanced culture of the Tanghe people is another main reason why Saibo moved to the northwest. In his opinion, compared with the Tanghe people, whether they are the Western countries or the nomadic peoples on the grasslands, they are no more than savages who still belong to the barbaric era. , the brilliant cultural and artistic achievements of Tanghe people over the past thousands of years also made him completely addicted to it and unable to extricate himself.
At the moment, he was also a little uneasy. Thinking that even Tan and Leng had mentioned that Li Wufeng was going to treat him differently, he felt more at ease. Although Li Wufeng did not receive him at this time, he could understand that the envoys from other countries were When gathered here, he could not receive any obvious special care.
