Judging from the on-the-spot investigation in Anshun Prefecture, the Lin family is preparing to give up field operations and prepare to use the city's defense facilities to engage in an offensive and defensive showdown with the Machi Khans. This also proves that the Lin family has lost confidence in defeating the Machi Khans. Although it is a wise choice, it will also bring many negative factors to the people's morale and military morale. In addition to the capital, most of the land is farmland, villages and small market towns. If they are frightened by the force of the Machikhans and close their doors. Failure to do so would mean giving up actual control over the city. In this unstable situation, some people with ulterior motives would be given an opportunity.
Anshun Mansion is the largest settlement of the Niudang and Guishan tribes. The two tribes have a population of more than 150,000, and they have never completely surrendered to the Lin family. This is like a thorn in the heart, always threatening Anshun Mansion and even the entire country. The safety of Sanjiang County. Liang Chongxin, Mulige and Wen Na all knew that in addition to having contacts with the original Lang family, the ethnic minorities in Sanjiang County also had close ties with the Macihan people. They would be involved in this war that would determine the fate of both sides. Which side you stand on will also have a great impact on the entire battle situation, but this is already obvious. What needs to be known now is when they will launch.
Until they returned to Qinzhou, the group seemed to be worried. The Lin family's firm attitude made everyone at a loss. Attacking by force was not possible. If they entered the Anshun wilderness to set up defenses, it would be worthless. Faced with the absolute advantage of the Machihans, they mobilized their troops. Defending in the wild will only suffer huge losses. There is no doubt about this. Is it possible to retreat to the capital city of Qinzhou like this? The defense facilities of Qinzhou's capital city are not perfect, and it is unrealistic to make major improvements in the short term. With just two Guards divisions and a division of the Southwest Army, Qinzhou can be defended, but Qinzhou The area east of Fucheng will probably be swept away by the Machihan people's locusts.
The man in black has been silently following the three plain-clothed military officials. He also vaguely heard some of the issues that the three were arguing about. In his eyes, the problems that troubled the three of them are not without solutions, although in his mind The solution is currently only a preliminary idea. If it is really put into practice, he has no idea whether it will work, so he has never dared to intervene. He himself is just an intelligence officer. He only needs to do his job well and provide the amount of information the military needs. It seems that it is not his turn to worry about the rest. However, seeing that the three military officials were all frowning, obviously troubled by this problem, he felt that he had the responsibility to put forward his idea. As for whether to adopt it and whether it could succeed, it was up to the other party to judge. .
"Three generals, I am humbled by one suggestion. I wonder if it will be helpful to the three generals?" The sudden words of the man in black suddenly broke Liang Chongxin and the other three who had been concentrating on breaking the deadlock along the way.
They exchanged surprised glances, and Liang Chongxin was quite generous and nodded. Although this guy is just an intelligence officer, judging from his trip to Anshun, this guy is very familiar with the situation in this area. Not only is he very familiar with the geographical terrain, He is clear, and he also has a good understanding of the people's sentiments, business and political affairs in Anshun Mansion. It seems that he can be regarded as an agent.
"Brother, please don't be polite. We are all from the northwest. There is no need to differentiate between each other. If you can give me some advice, I would be very grateful." After all, they do not belong to the same system. Liang Chongxin seemed quite polite, but both Mulige and Wenner were both Keep your eyes firmly fixed on the man in black.
"Just now, I vaguely heard that the three adults seemed to be worried about the inability to solve the problem in Anshun Mansion. I have been stationed in Tiannan and Sanjiang for a long time, and I am familiar with the situation in these two places, so I was a little foolish and took the liberty to report to the three adults." Yi Hanzi didn't care about the surprised look in the eyes of the three people. Since the words had been spoken, he simply made it clear: "The three adults probably don't know that the situation in Anshun Prefecture is different from the other prefectures in Sanjiang. They say that it is different from the other prefectures." There are several main aspects. Firstly, Anshun is the prefecture with the largest ethnic minority population in Sanjiang. The Niudang and Guishan tribes have considerable influence in the local area. Secondly, Anshun Prefecture has relatively strong local forces, especially Anshun Prefecture City Guard Lin. Dezhi is the representative. Although Lin Dezhi's surname is Lin, he has nothing to do with the Lin family. He is a native of Anshun. Before Lin Guoxiong took charge of Sanjiang, he was a minor official in Anshun Prefecture. He can be called the elder of Sanjiang. Moreover, his in-laws are also from a prominent family in Anshun Prefecture. This person Although he is proficient in government affairs, he has two major characteristics: one is timidity, and the other is that he hates the Guishan and Niudang ethnic minorities in the territory and vows to be incompatible with the two ethnic groups. It is said that this is the same as when he was a minor official. The fact that the Guishan and Niudang tribes have never been able to reconcile with the Lin family has something to do with Lin Dezhi.”
"Based on what I learned from my humble position, although Lin Dezhi has always been subservient to Lin Guoxiong, it does not mean that he will be loyal to Lin Guoxiong, because behind his back he represents the interests of the entire Anshun local wealthy family. He has always advocated reconciliation with the Lang family. , to avoid a war, lest the war spread and harm the interests of the wealthy families in Anshun. This time the Maci Khans attacked the Lin family. Originally, Lin Guoxiong only left an army division to garrison Anshun. However, under the strong opposition of Lin Dezhi, he was forced to attack the Lin family. An additional garrison division has been added to stay.”
"You mean that because of our work, Lin Dezhi might be incited to rebel?" Mulige seemed to be unconvinced. It's no wonder that being able to become a city guard, if he is not the confidant of Jiedushi, is simply unbelievable. possible.
"Yes, hasn't Anshun clearly rejected our entry to help defend? Isn't this enough to explain the problem?" Winner also raised questions.
"The Lin family has declined to such an extent. Anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see this. Regardless of whether the Lin family can survive this catastrophe, I am afraid that they will control the three rivers and five houses like an iron barrel like before. It is generally impossible. Lin Dezhi, as the representative of the interests of the Anshun wealthy family, should know this better. If he wants to be independent from these major forces, it is tantamount to seeking death. Then he can only choose a strong one, Ma After all, the Khan people are a foreign race. With Lin Dezhi as a person, he will not surrender. The only hope is probably our side. As for why they don't accept our help in defense now, I think there may be this reason. A man currently stationed in Anshun City The Army Division is not something Lin Dezhi can control. In this case, he can only agree with the military's opinions, otherwise he will be purged. However, once there is danger in the eastern part of Sanjiang, especially Jiangchuan, I guess Lin Guoxiong will sooner or later take this. The army divisions were sent to the front line. By that time, there would be only the garrison division in Anshun City, and it would become Lin Dezhi's world. If faced with the threat of the Maci Khans in the south and the rebellion of the local Guishan and Niudang tribes, My subordinate, I think Lin Dezhi might be tempted by our proposal of assisting in defense."
The man in black was very taciturn along the way. He didn't have any extra words except the necessary introduction. But now he was eloquent and eloquent, which made Liang Chongxin and the other two people feel very moved.
"Do you have any definite basis for your speculation?" Liang Chongxin pondered for a long time and then asked. He also knew that Lin Dezhi represented the local powerful families in Anshun. In fact, these local powerful families existed more or less in various prefectures in Sanjiang. These powerful families and the rulers represented by the Lin family were interdependent and constituted the ruling class of Sanjiang. , but the independence of the local wealthy families in Anshun is indeed much more obvious than that of other provinces. These wealthy families connected with each other and became the most powerful class in Sanjiang County.
"Sir, this is just a conjecture based on the intelligence I usually have and the analysis of Lin Dezhi's personality. It has no solid basis." The man in black shook his head decisively. At this point, he did not dare to It's nonsense, but the other party needs to make their own judgment.
Both Mulige and Wenner had disappointed looks on their faces. How could such an uncertain speculation be taken as true? If it were adopted rashly, it would only make people laugh if it failed.
On the other hand, Liang Chongxin's expression was gloomy and uncertain. He thought he was a little tempted, but he was not sure. He seemed to be considering a perfect solution.
"My lord, what is the basis for this kind of thing? What is the basis for this? The humble position is just a reference for the three adults. If it can be done, it will be good. If it doesn't, there will be no substantial harm. But according to the humble position, if The Niudang and Guishan tribes have really caused trouble in the past two days, so we might as well give it a try." The man in black was quite sure of this point.
"Are you sure that the Niudang tribe and the Guishan tribe will cause trouble in these two days?" Liang Chongxin finally nodded and asked.
"This should not be wrong. The intelligence fed back from all aspects confirms that the preparations of the Guishan and Niudang tribes in Anshun have entered the final stage. The situation of the Litar tribe in Yushan Prefecture is also similar. It is estimated that they will launch a campaign within the next two days. ." The man in black is firmly affirmative of his own profession.
With silent jaws, Liang Chongxin could already hear the unfinished meaning in the other party's words, but he had to ask clearly, otherwise the slightest confusion on such a big matter might lead to catastrophe. "Brother, what do you think we still need to do?"
"Master Liang, my idea is that if we can start with those wealthy families in Anshun Fucheng who are closely related to Lin Dezhi, maybe our success rate will be much higher. Convincing them is equivalent to getting Lin Dezhi through. Intelligent ideological work." The man in black thought for a while and put forward his own idea: "The humble position has some connections in Anshun City that may be used. However, I think it will be difficult to convince those wealthy families with my prestige alone. If If we can ask people from the foreign affairs department to come forward and persuade each other secretly, we will be more confident."
