Of course Wu Feng didn't know that such a horrific incident would happen to his nominal convoy when he secretly returned to Longdong. At this moment, he and several women beside him were already squeezed into two carriages and were walking on the side road. After returning to Longdong and staying overnight at the Lingguan Palace in East Kongtong, Wu Feng received news from insiders among the top leaders of the Taiping Sect. The Taiping Sect had listed Wu Feng as the most dangerous enemy, even more so than any other. People, using various means to assassinate Wu Feng has become one of the best choices, and there is already a plan about to be implemented. This was top-secret information that Wu Feng arranged to go to the highest level of the Taiping Religion to obtain top-secret information. It had to attract the attention of the Northwest Security Bureau and the Guards, and the arrangements for Wu Feng's whereabouts had to be changed accordingly.
The northwest prefectures implemented strict purges from the beginning. In addition, the Taiping Sect had no foundation in the northwest prefectures. Later, it was repeatedly swept away by the Northwest Security Bureau and the internal affairs departments of each prefecture. Even the Taiping Sect Even the disciples themselves had to admit that the Taiping Sect could take root and sprout anywhere in the empire, but it could only penetrate into the northwest. Therefore, Wu Feng did not believe that he would encounter assassinations in the northwest, but the areas Wu Feng inspected were Longdong and Tianshui is an area where the Taiping Sect has strong influence. Even though the occupation of these two places has been completed militarily and politically, the potential influence left by the Taiping Sect over the years cannot be eliminated in three to five days, especially in Long. East was originally the area hardest hit by the Taiping Sect, and it had been openly controlled by the Taiping Sect for so long. The hidden power of the Taiping Sect was already deeply rooted, so even at the most critical moment, Liang Chongxin did not dare to easily relax his control over Longdong. .
Wu Feng's trip to Longdong Tianshui was able to be hidden from ordinary people, but he definitely couldn't hide it from those interested people who had been watching Wu Feng's whereabouts. Especially since Wu Feng had no intention of hiding his traces. The accompanying travel of several women was the most important thing. Obvious goal. Then the best areas for the Taiping Religion to attack are Longdong and Tianshui. It is no longer easy for ordinary assassins to achieve effective results, especially after Wu Feng reorganized his own guards on a large scale, and a large number of martial arts masters have gone through loyalty. After passing the test of speed, he entered the Guards. From the Snow Mountain Sect, the Bashan Gu Family, the Jinmen Sect to the Daxiangguo Temple and the Qingye Sect, many experienced people with different abilities surround Wu Feng. If they want to assassinate Wu Feng with their personal abilities, There is not much hope anymore, so adopting special methods to deliver a fatal blow becomes the only option.
When Liang Chongxin saw the multi-arm catapult and portable crossbow at the first sight, he knew that this assassination was definitely not as simple as a murder by the Taiping Religion. It was obvious that the Kaman people were involved in this matter, and it also caused a considerable stir. role. Neither portable crossbows nor multi-armed catapults can be possessed by forces like the Taiping Religion, which relied on their manpower advantage. This kind of military technological masterpiece has not yet been equipped even in the northwest. The Taiping Religion is absolutely It is impossible to develop and produce it by yourself, especially the multi-arm catapult. Although the range is slightly inferior to that of large catapults, if you choose a suitable location, you can still reach the ultimate distance of three hundred meters, and its accuracy is obviously quite high. I'm afraid this can be considered a high-end product even in the Kaman Empire.
Of course, if these things want to be arranged calmly in Tianshui, it is absolutely impossible for the Kaman people to have this ability. Whether it is transporting, loading, unloading, or installing such things, it requires a lot of manpower and time. It will also attract the attention of interested people, and it can To complete such a plan in just ten days, it must be said that it took a lot of effort from the Kamans and the Taiping Religion. The powerful potential of the Taiping Religion in these newly occupied areas has once again been clearly demonstrated. A flawless plan The Dragon Project did not know how much manpower and material resources were used. The systematic project fully proved how rampant the Taiping Sect was here. It's a pity that Wu Feng's vigilance caused such an excellent plan to fail, and it also cost dozens of lives in vain.
Until he returned to Fucheng, Liang Chongxin was still recalling the tragic and horrific scene. The death of dozens of soldiers on the spot made Liang Chongxin furious and no longer worried about anything else. If such a thing really happened to Master Jiedushi, On the way back to Longdong, with cold sweat pouring down his back, he didn't know what the consequences would be. Liang Chongxin, who was calm by nature, did not hesitate to reach a compromise with the Kongtong sect who hit it off with him this time, and mobilized all his power to launch an unprecedented purge against Tianshui and Longdong. It was not until many years later that he surrendered to Wufeng's Taiping sect. The remaining forces were already worried about this unforgettable and shocking massacre. They gathered various forces to continuously attack Liang Chongxin, and asked Wufeng to atone for Liang Chongxin's due punishment in exchange for their loyalty to Li Wufeng. This became the future. The gap between the Taiping faction and the Old Northwest faction in the Brilliant Empire can never be bridged.
After three days of preparation time, the elite troops of the five divisions, with the full cooperation of the internal affairs department, the Northwest Security Bureau and the Kongtong faction of the two prefectures of Longdong and Tianshui, launched a battle codenamed "pulling the grass" in the two prefectures. The purge operation was also the first time that the regular army was used to participate in the purge of civilian rebel forces in the territory under Wufeng's control. With the full support of the Kongtong faction, the disadvantages of the internal affairs department and the security bureau system have been greatly improved. Countless families were uprooted overnight, and even entire villages disappeared overnight. There was an overwhelming rain of blood. The fishy wind even made the gentry and merchants in the northwest of the two provinces who supported the imperial goodwill feel extremely frightened. Whether it was the cross streets of the market towns or the city gates, the number of hanging heads had increased exponentially, and the number of wild dogs in the suburbs had increased exponentially. And the vultures in the sky in the wilderness became the best beneficiaries. The eyes of the wild dogs in groups were even red and purple. In the words of the elderly, it was because they had eaten too much human heart and liver.
The worries and fears of the gentry and merchants soon spread to all classes. Almost everyone looked at this sudden purge or massacre with fearful eyes. They saw the heads falling to the ground. Many of them believed that they had some relationship with the empire and the northwest. The leading figures in the Qianlian had no choice but to go to the people in power in the hope of getting a satisfactory explanation. However, when the truth about the Tianshui assassination was made public, almost all the people with complaints fell silent, thinking of such direct targeting. Li Wufeng's murder is no different from an act of rebellion and rebellion. This is also unacceptable to anyone in power. Moreover, military standard weapons were used. This fully shows that the hostile forces are rampant. If there is not a big move like thunder and clearing holes, It is simply not enough to solve the substantive problem (Northwestern Star).
However, when Wu Feng realized that the purge operation was about to expand indefinitely, it was already time for Wu Feng to return to Qingyang. This was when Mo Lun, the guardian of Qingyang City, criticized Wu Feng in a private capacity. Only then did Wu Feng realize that Such a large-scale iron-blooded storm occurred in the two military controlled areas of Longdong and Tianshui. Of course, Wu Feng knew about the assassination at the first time.
Mo Lun's suggestion to Wu Feng in a private capacity should be pertinent. The purge storm is a necessary means to eradicate hostile forces in his own area, but unlimited expansion will harm the interests of all classes, and it is also easy to make people who are originally friendly The forces in the northwest are afraid that using the regular army to carry out a cleanup will give people false pretenses. This should be the responsibility of the local security forces and the security and interior departments, unless there is an open rebellion.
However, at this time, Wu Feng didn't seem to have much energy to pay attention to this matter. Since the matter had already happened, he could only rely on Liang Chongxin's on-the-spot decision. Wu Feng did not want to interfere with the actions of the military commander in charge of the two places on this matter. Some things went too far. Although there will be some side effects, it will have a deterrent effect that is difficult to achieve by other means. This may have an unexpected deterrent effect in Longdong, Tianshui and even surrounding Lulong Xikang.
The situation in the Central Plains seemed to be undergoing some vague changes. Situ Lang dared to change the ancestral system and add two regular army legions, and immediately put it into effect. This made Wu Feng seem to feel the ebb and flow of the situation in the Central Plains of the Empire, and Situ Yuan even came out with force and openly asked Situ Lang, who was supervising the country, to agree to increase the establishment of an army corps in the Jiangnan area, and created public opinion as if he wanted to cook the raw rice into cooked rice. Public opinion in Jiangnan was also excited and enthusiastically donated money. Donating materials and materials, if this situation develops, even Situ Tai and Situ Jun will not sit still and wait for death. They will inevitably follow suit, and nationwide military expansion is a foregone conclusion.
In this situation, Wufeng also has some difficulties as to where Northwest should go. If Wu Feng Zi Ping intervenes in the war in the Central Plains at this time, I am afraid that there will be fewer benefits and more disadvantages, and it will not be of much benefit to his own power. The situation in his territory is not optimistic, especially in Longdong and Tianshui, and the countries in the Western Regions have already There are many hidden dangers. Although Loulan King Haibal surrendered on the surface and even sent his son to Qingyang to study, Wufeng always suspected that this old fox was adopting a strategy of retreating to advance in exchange for his own carelessness. Huanfeng The cooperation with the Loulan people has also encountered difficulties in Loulan. Many Loulan people have secretly formed associations and their whereabouts are secretive. In the current political atmosphere, it is difficult to attack the Loulan people without sufficient evidence. The only way is to wait for the opportunity and quietly Wait until their fox tail is exposed. The Luobei people were unusually calm. Although the arrival of Kalong made Wu Feng know that the Red Di people had already fought against the Luo Bei people, Wu Feng doubted how determined the Red Di people were to fight a war. Is he just trying to stop it, or is he determined to destroy the potential power of the Luobi people before coming to the northwest to conspire with him? Wu Feng has not obtained accurate information yet.
