Situ Yu really looked down on his half-brother from the bottom of his heart. When the other brothers came into contact with the people he sent, they all rejected their proposals without hesitation without any leeway, and he This sixth brother wanted to eat fish but was afraid of getting fishy fish. He was so indecisive. How could he achieve great things? But he had no choice. Almost everyone rejected his proposal. No one was willing to take such a big risk. Situ Biao at least wanted to consider it, but the others were not even interested in considering it.
"Whether this is okay or not, I'll give you a confirmation within a week and let me think about it carefully." Situ Biao repeated his old trick and adopted the method of delaying.
"Okay, Sixth Brother, I hope you keep your word. I will come to hear your news next week." Situ Yuzhen nodded slightly, stood up and left. Looking at Situ Yuzhen's leaving figure, Situ Biao shook his head with regret. It seemed that he had to give up on them. Pushing them too hard was not a good sign. If he accepted it, he might lose more than he gained.
Returning to his mansion with a gloomy face, Situ Yuzhen returned to his study, where someone was already waiting.
"Yuzhen, how are you? Is there any hope?" Waiting in Situ Yuzhen's study were a man and a woman. The man had a long beard, a bronze face with gleaming eyes, and a pair of thick arms with huge palms covered with calluses. Bu, it can be seen that he is a person who is looking for a living outside. But the other woman is a MILF who still has the charm of a mature woman. Her fluffy black hair is pulled into a woman's big bun, and the hair net tightly wraps the bun, which is so heavy and attractive. A fair and pretty face, light eyebrows, rosy lips, and half exposed silver teeth, fully exposing her feminine charm.
Glancing at the woman who asked the question, Situ Yuzhen shook his head silently, and said after a while: "Situ Biao doesn't have the courage. Although she hasn't refused yet, I guess there is no hope, and even if he accepts our conditions , I judge that it will be difficult for him to win this battle for the throne, even with our support. His strength is too weak, and I am not very optimistic about his performance."
"But His Highness, His Highness the Third, and His Highness the Seventh have all explicitly or implicitly rejected our proposal. His Highness the Ninth is not even willing to listen to the conditions. Who can we turn to? I'm afraid we have no choice." The bearded man had a heavy face and raised his head to look at Situ Yuzhen, "Yuzhen, what do you think?"
"Whether it is Situ Tai, Situ Jun, or Situ Yuan, they all think that they still have some strength and can give it a try. Of course they are not willing to accept us. Even if someone like Situ Biao agrees to our conditions, Let's also consider whether he has the possibility of success. Don't waste our capital in exchange for an Adou who can't support him." Situ Yuzhen said cautiously, "Actually, I am very optimistic about this person. I’m going to let you two meet each other for a while, and I think maybe he can give us a surprise.”
"Who?" The bearded man and the young woman Huaxin asked at the same time.
"Li Wufeng, Li Wufeng, the Northwest Military and Political Envoy." Situ Yuzhen replied slowly.
"Li Wufeng?" The bearded man frowned, "I heard that this guy's power has expanded greatly in the west, and he is known as the king of the new generation in the northwest, but he doesn't seem to have much power in the Central Plains. If we cooperate with him, he can satisfy us A request?"
"Uncle Lei, times have changed. The winds are high and the waves are rough. I have no confidence that the Situ family can hold on to the Tanghe Empire, a broken ship full of holes. It may be time for the Tanghe Empire to change its captain. ." Situ Yuzhen took a breath and said solemnly, "Li Wufeng is a very special guy. I started to pay attention to him when he started to serve as the guard of Qingyang City. In just a few years, he climbed up the ranks. Do you think that Dao is in this position just because of luck? How can there be so many good things in the world that have happened to him?"
"Yuzhen, do you mean that it is possible for Li Wufeng to replace the Situ family and take over the Central Plains?" Hua Xin, the young woman, raised her beautiful eyebrows in disbelief and asked, "The northwest is barren. For many years, the nomadic people outside the Great Wall have The nation has experienced repeated rebellions. In just a few years, Li Wufeng, no matter how capable he is, is afraid that it will be difficult to lay any foundation. Could it be that several of his highnesses are not as good as him?"
Shaking his head, a smile appeared on Situ Yuzhen's lips, "You know too little about Northwest and Li Wufeng. Maybe Li Wufeng doesn't have much reputation in the south of the Yangtze River and the East China Sea, but his potential power in the Central Plains is not small. I just Let me tell you, Liao Qichang also maintains a very close relationship with Li Wufeng, and it can even be said that there may be some ulterior secret between them."
"Oh?" The bearded man and the Huaxin young woman expressed surprise in unison. They are from Jiangnan, so they naturally know Liao Qichang's power in Jiangnan. Even Situ Yuan must respect Liao Qichang in this three-acre land of Jiangnan, especially Jiangnan. The huge industrial and commercial power represented by the seven famous families has a close relationship with Liao Qichang.
"If that's the case, we might as well pay a visit to the Northwest King to see how powerful this Northwest King is." Young woman Hua Xin nodded slowly, indicating that she accepted Situ Yuzhen's opinion.
"Since he and Liao Qichang have formed an alliance, what do we have in exchange for him?" the bearded man thought for a moment and asked.
"Uncle Lei, it's too early to talk about this now. Li Wufeng has a very complex character, and I can't guess what he is thinking. But I am sure that this person is very ambitious. I hope you can go to the Northwest immediately. Go, get to know him through various channels first, and then find an opportunity to talk to him, maybe then you can know more about him." Situ Yuzhen suggested.
"I hope his ambition is big enough, otherwise we will lose the minimum basis for cooperation." The bearded man said with a wide grin.
"Well, maybe you will have something in common. I heard that Li Wufeng secretly built a navy base at Baixiang Lake in Bonan Prefecture and is building his navy force. Think about it, there are no important water areas in the northwest. , why did he suddenly become interested in the Navy?" A mysterious smile appeared on Situ Yuzhen's lips, "I think he has very ambitious goals."
"Okay, then Zhu Niang and I will go to the northwest, hoping that he will not disappoint us. However, I think His Highness the Sixth Prince should not give up easily. After all, he occupies the orthodox position. If it is possible, I would still prefer it. I want to choose among several highnesses." The bearded man nodded and added one last sentence.
"Uncle Lei, I don't think there is much need to put much hope in Situ Biao. I am not optimistic about him at all. Even if he agrees to cooperate with us, I guess he will only be a support material for my other brothers. He lacks that kind of support." The courage to dominate the world." Situ Yuzhen said decisively, "I hope you will pay more attention to Li Wufeng. This guy has many secrets, which may surprise you."
"I hope so."
After sending away the two elders Ka Mian and Shiliu, Wu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Gaoyue people have gradually moved towards a virtuous cycle. The Mote people have sent out a visiting group to visit several Gaoyue people settlements in Jinzhou and Northern Luzon. The district conducted a careful inspection and found that they were very interested in the grassroots self-governance management model of the Gaoyue people. Although there are still considerable differences in the living habits of the Motte and Gaoyue people, they have one thing in common, that is, in the northwest Manage general internal affairs under unified management. The two elders came together almost every time they came to Wufeng, and every time they made some requests regarding education and infrastructure, which made Wufeng a little afraid of meeting them.
However, Gao Yueren already plays a very important role in Wufeng's army. Wufeng is not willing to dampen Gao Yueren's enthusiasm because of these things. Besides, the two elders can also understand the difficulties in the northwest. Every request is not too much. One time, they brought some good news. A small tribe of more than 30,000 people from the south migrated quietly in several groups along the Hengduan Mountains. Among them were more than 3,000 strong militiamen and thousands of people from Xikang Prefecture. There were more than 10,000 Gaoyue militiamen. They conveyed their eagerness to join the Northwest Army to Wu Feng through Kapok and Shiliu, and asked Wu Feng to agree to their request.
The Second Division of the Northwest First Army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Poyue Lake. Its additional strength had to be drawn from the garrison troops in Jinzhou, Vito and Xikang, and the garrison troops also needed to be supplemented from the reserve forces. , just with this gap, Wu Feng readily agreed and directly added 10,000 people to the security forces of the three prefectures. Both parties were happy.
As soon as Ka Mian and Shi Liu left the house, Mi Feng had already sat down in Wu Feng's study. Mi Feng is now the military law director of the Northwest Army, in charge of military law issues in the four northwest armies. The gendarmerie under his command has been established and stationed at the regiment level of each division.
With Mi Feng, a meticulous and iron-faced military legal director, Wu Feng could finally relax a lot. It turned out that many military discipline violations that needed Wu Feng to handle personally were handed over to Mi Feng, and Mi Feng even more It is dedicated and dedicated, which fully reflects the existence of the Military Law Office. Even Ling Tianfang, the Chief of Staff of the Northwest Military Affairs Joint Staff Headquarters, has difficulty in commanding him. In front of the Military Law Office, almost all the officers feel half as short as they are. Especially after a certain deputy division commander relied on his status as an old man in the Wufeng City Guards and was arrested on the spot by the military police of the Military Justice Department for causing trouble while drunk. The soldiers of his division actually forced their way into the Military Justice Department in an attempt to rob him. Three people were killed by the gendarmerie, and the deputy division commander was whipped twenty times. After fifteen days of confinement, the reputation of the Military Justice Department and the gendarmerie was at its peak. Wu Feng directly killed all the division-level officers in his division. He was fined for half a year as a warning to others, which aroused great repercussions in the entire Northwest Army. From then on, no one dared to compete with the people from the Military Justice Department and the Gendarmerie. It was also said that the officers of the Military Justice Department and the Gendarmerie were one level higher. Walk.
