After pondering for a long time, Situ Tai finally looked at the old man who had been staring at him closely: "In this case, it is better to start early than to start late. Let the Ye family brothers do it tonight or tomorrow night, and I will arrange some people to cooperate. Mr. Leng how do you feel?"
"That's all we can do. We only have two or three days. Once His Majesty really goes to court to make an announcement, I'm afraid we will be too late. Now the Yulin Army and the inner court guards are working in two shifts. The Ye brothers are either tonight or... I have a rest tomorrow night, so I can take this opportunity to take action. After ten years of sharpening my sword, it depends on today." Now that he had made up his mind, the old man would not drag his feet and said decisively: "Your Highness can choose some reliable candidates from the Sunset Sect and let them sneak in. The fire prevention and assassination in the palace created chaos and attracted the attention of the Yulin Army and the inner court guards on duty. We have our people in the Yulin Army to take care of them, so access is not a big problem. However, the Ye brothers need to make arrangements and must not fall behind. There are traces.”
"Well, I would like to trouble Mr. Leng to arrange this matter personally. I don't want others to know. As for the Ye brothers, I will personally give them orders. Victory or failure depends on this. They should also have this awareness. "Situ Jun's cold words seemed to float out from the ground, full of evil intentions and determination.
Almost at the same time, the third prince of Huachang Avenue, Situ Jun, was also having a secret conversation in his house. Perhaps it was because the brothers were connected. The two brothers had almost the same ideas, and the content of the conversation was almost the same, but in terms of momentum. , Situ Jun seemed much more resolute and decisive than his brother.
"Old Qiu, there is no need to worry. I have made up my mind. Since my father only has Lao Jiu in his eyes, don't blame me as his son. If he is unkind, I will be unjust. I don't want to be trapped in the imperial capital for the rest of my life, even if I die. You have to let me die with my heart convinced. Just surrendering like this without firing a shot is not in line with my style. I would rather die on the guillotine or under poisonous wine." The corners of Situ Jun's mouth drooped slightly, with a look of determination on his face. He, who rarely smiled, was even more serious at this time, "Let Xiao Maozi do it and tell him that I have made arrangements for his family and told him not to worry. The medicine will be delivered to him in the afternoon and will be delivered to the designated hospital in the afternoon." Place."
"Your Highness, -" the man sitting beside him hesitated.
"No need to say more, Mr. Qiu, if you continue to break up, you will suffer chaos. I also know that my eldest brother will definitely not give up like this, but we can't imagine what he can do. I can't base my destiny on others. "Waving to stop his advisor's advice, Situ Jun flashed a murderous look on his face, and even his eyes became a little crazy at this moment, "Let's arrange an assassination scene, make it look more realistic, and say I'm not injured. It’s light and works well with time.”
"Understood." He sighed softly and said no more. His master had already made up his mind and would not change it easily. He could only obey and do everything possible to arrange everything properly.
"Your Highness, isn't it too ostentatious for us to do this now?" Facing the inquiry from his subordinates, Situ Yuan shook his head calmly and said happily: "No, no, not at all. If you want to avoid suspicion, this is the best way. , publicly expressing dissatisfaction is just a cover-up. It is the most dangerous if you stay at home and remain silent. I am certain that big things will happen in the past two days. I can't predict anything, but I have a premonition."
"Your Highness, are we just going to stay in the imperial capital like this?" Several close subordinates were unwilling to do so.
"Don't try to do stupid things. The General Administration of Internal Affairs is not a freeloader. We can't hide every move from them. Besides, our power in the imperial capital is not enough to make a big wave. We should just watch their performance honestly. I I think these two days may be the most leisurely time for us. Why don't we all go to the river to have fun together? I haven't been to the Black Mermaid Boat for a long time, and I don't know if I have bought any good goods?" A man's unique smile appeared on Situ Yuan's face. , "I'm treating you today, let's take a rest together."
"Your Highness, will this cause—?" The subordinate's question made Situ Yuan a little unhappy.
"Don't worry so much, I have my own arrangements. Lao Qi, is the ship you arranged ready?" Situ Yuan asked with a straight face.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, everything has been prepared and anchored outside the East Water Gate. Well, the other convoy fleet is parked and hidden sixty miles away. As long as His Highness leaves the city, everything will be under our control." A middle-aged man with a strong face. with a proud look on his face.
"No, no, this is just a precaution. I think the drama in the Imperial Capital will not end so easily. Maybe I will stay here forever. Whether the fleet can be used is still a question, but we need to be prepared. Situ Yuan stood up with an expectant look on his face: "It's good to be a spectator. Being on the outside, well, you can try to figure out the thoughts of the people in the play and watch their changes. Let's go, don't waste our good time, little one." Five, you and Mei San are on duty here. If you report any news, come to me at the Black Mermaid Boat in the river."
All the changes in the imperial capital were reported back to Wu Feng who was in charge of Longdong as quickly as possible. Peace has been restored in the northwest county, the countries in the Western Regions and the Tengger Grassland. The Luzon people launched a war south of the Salween River. The offensive was in full swing.
With the Gaoyue people leading the way and Frederick's strategizing, coupled with the cooperation of the Komini people on the western front, Kutuzov, whose main force was conquering the southern front, obviously did not expect that the Luzon people would start a war at this time. Such a violent storm of war. The Luzon army, which bypassed the Salween River defense line from the foothills of Hengduan Mountain, defeated the Pasha army that came to intercept it at the first moment. Mitian, the overly calm Pasha northern line guard, failed to respond in time at the first opportunity. , causing the Luzon army that poured in from the foothills of the Hengduan Mountains to quickly advance westward. Then Mitian behaved in a panic and made the mistake of sending the army eastward to prepare for a decisive battle with the Luzon sneak attack troops in the eastern part of Southern Luzon.
Mitian did not expect that this was Frederick's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Frederick personally led the army to cross the Salween River overnight. After a fierce battle, he finally broke through the river defense line and penetrated directly into Gyasi. At the same time, Comini's army The Pasha army marched eastward to support the Luzon side, and the Pasha people were suddenly in a tight situation on the western front. They were unable to mobilize troops to reinforce the Pasha army on the northern front line in the occupied area of South Luzon. Before the Pasha army, which knew that they had fallen into the trap, returned, the Pasha army marched eastwards. The city of Gyasi had already been captured by Frederick with the help of the Luzon spies and mobs who had already linked up. Frederick, who captured the city of Gyasi, followed the trend and marched eastward to meet the Luzon army coming from the west, eighty miles away from the city of Gyasi. During the flanking attack on the Pasha army, the 100,000 Pasha army was captured in one fell swoop. Only more than 10,000 people were able to escape and cross the Maputra River to return to the Pasha's original territory. The Pasha people's occupation of Southern Luzon only lasted for three years. Then he died, and all of Southern Luzon was recovered.
Frederick, who had won the great victory in Southern Luzon, immediately strengthened the defense line along the Maputra River and built a series of chain forts at the foothills of the Hengduan Mountains in the east to prevent the Pasha people from treating others in their own way. At the same time, it was announced that it would form a political and military alliance with the Principality of Komini and the Free Dominion to jointly resist the hegemonic politics of the Pasha people in the Central Continent. In return, the Grand Duchy of Luzon also transferred the part west of Yingbiguan that was originally owned by the Principality of Komini. The disputed area was assigned to the Principality of Comini. When the two parties signed the alliance agreement, they also signed a boundary determination agreement.
After knowing that the Luzon people had launched the southern offensive according to the planned track, Wu Feng was truly relieved. The Luzon people's southern recovery campaign would have a negative impact on Northern Luzon in the long run, especially After regaining Southern Luzon and successfully consolidating the defense there, the ambitious Frederick would never let Northern Luzon remain under his control, and Wu Feng knew this very well. However, both Wu Feng and Frederick knew clearly that it was not an easy matter to start a war with the northwest. Even after completely consolidating the southern defense, the Luzon people still needed to make considerable preparations and wait until the right time. They will only take action when the opportunity arises, which also limits the people of Luzon from having the strength to challenge the northwest within a year, and Wufeng needs this year the most.
The stability of his rear area gave Wu Feng more time to pay attention to the development of the situation in Kansai. Longdong and Tianshui were Wu Feng's top priority. With the end of military control, the situation in the two houses gradually calmed down. Even Wu Feng himself had never thought that the huge influence brought by Wu Feng's status as an imperial hero and royal consort would be so great. Fed up with the rule of the Taiping Cult and suffering from the war, the gentry and merchants longed for a stable situation, even if The most stubborn conservative nobles and gentry, after witnessing Wu Feng's iron-fisted suppression of the Taiping people and the subsequent calm situation, had to accept that perhaps Li Wufeng was the most suitable ruler in the current troubled times. Reality, not to mention the aura of the Prince Consort also made the nobles and gentry feel much more at ease when accepting the reality.
Longdong and Tianshui, as important sections of the empire's westward trade routes, are particularly important from both a military and economic perspective. However, this linear defense posture also makes the northwest have to face the long journey from the north while taking over the defense. The pressure on the front line, which is hundreds of miles long, may face attacks from the Taiping Cult from the north at any time. Although the Taiping Cult's more accurate forces are currently placed in the east and west, what they need to face at this time is from the Taiping Cult. The pressure from the northern military region and the northwest army to the west left no time to worry about the south, but Wufeng was worried about the Kaman people further north. Once they break through the Jerok defense line and join forces with the Taiping Army to move south, it can be said that the entire Kansai and Northern Plains will become the possession of the Kaman people. Especially with all kinds of unusual movements coming from the imperial capital, the Kaman people will not let go easily. Take this opportunity.
