Lei Juetian's intuition did not deceive him. At this moment, bursts of joyful laughter came from a large ship in the river between Wenning and Baling. An ordinary dual-purpose mixed passenger and cargo ship is very cleverly disguised. From the outside, it looks no different from other ships flowing continuously in the river, but inside it is very different. Several strong men are hiding in the dark. He watched the ships coming and going vigilantly, his eyes sharp, and he knew at a glance that he was not waiting for anyone. The middle cabin door was ajar, and although the window lattice was open, it was covered by a dark screen, so nothing inside could be seen. The cabin is very spacious, and the exquisite and delicate decoration style is clearly made by Jiangnan craftsmen. The obvious Jiangnan water town style makes the cabin extra warm.
"Master Su, it seems that your Highness is really going to make some big move in Sanjiang. Even the Lin family's army is making adjustments to coordinate with Your Highness's army. It seems that the two families are joining forces to do something. I heard that the Lin family's three The relationship between the young lady and your highness is somewhat ambiguous. I wonder if this is really the case?" The young man sitting at the head of the throne was wearing a loose robe embroidered with cloud and thunder patterns. He picked up the tea cup beside the desk and made a loud sound. Laughing, he asked casually while browsing the emergency report of arrows shot from the river bank.
"Haha, Your Highness King Xiang, we as subordinates dare not ask about His Highness's affairs. Why don't you come to Hanzhong or Qingyang when your Highness is free and ask him personally? Perhaps only the person concerned knows about this kind of thing, but we don't know anything about it. I don’t know.” The elegant and generous Su Qin was sitting beside him in a plain robe, with a graceful crown, a light smile and a graceful demeanor.
"Well, the Machihan people are a little nervous. Have all your first legions really arrived in Sanjiang?" While reading the emergency report, he raised his eyebrows. Situ Biao was really surprised. He originally thought that the other party was just pretending to cooperate. Pan, he didn’t expect to really push the main force to the front. Then he changed his mind, and Situ Biao suddenly realized: "Well, Su Qin, it turns out that this guy Li Wufeng has his own ideas. How could he come to express his willingness with such good intentions? Support me in regaining Baling, so you are targeting the Machihans? Well, is it Loushanguan?"
Seeing that the other party was smiling and silent, Situ Biao thought about it carefully, and then overturned his own thoughts, "Impossible. Loushanguan is now the key defense target of the Machikhan people. There are at least 50,000 people stationed there. It is easy to defend but difficult to defend." Attack, your Highness would not be so rash, where would it be? Huayang? Yushan? Without taking Loushanguan, it is impossible for you to attack these two places?"
"Your Highness King Xiang, Su Qin doesn't know anything about the military situation. Please don't ask Su Qin any more." With a helpless smile on his face, Su Qin repeatedly handed over his hand.
"Humph, you don't know?" He ignored Su Qin and took out the map from the desk and looked at it carefully. Situ Biao's face was gloomy and uncertain, "Machihan people, well, where else is more suitable? By the way, Ronisia. , it must be here, Su Qin, Su Qin, your highness really has a big appetite. Lei Juetian and Bi Xili just swallowed Northern Ronesia from Lin Guoxiong, and you are making plans for it again. What a good idea. This Let my army contain the Machikhans on one side, but on the other side you are easy to take action and have good calculations."
"Your Highness, it's hard to say who will restrain whom. We haven't had time to take action in the south. Your Highness, King Xiang, has already pushed his army right under Baling's nose. We just hope that His Highness will cooperate for a while after taking Baling. The people who live in Machiqhan cannot go south with all their strength, so we can be more relaxed in the south. Is this a good thing for both parties? Baling will be in the hands of His Highness sooner or later. We are willing to do our part for His Highness. Will His Highness still refuse? ? If you are not sure, I think His Highness will not be so happy to tell you the truth?" Su Qin smiled noncommittally. He did not explain whether or where his side would take action, but gave a vague explanation. Fan.
"Humph, your Highness has great ambitions." Situ Biao glanced at Su Qin with a smile but not a smile. He was obviously proud that he had guessed the other party's intention. However, this did not affect his actions. He did not care whether he had the other party's support or not. I don't care, but Li Wufeng's big move in the south can indeed hold back the Machihan people's hands and feet, making it difficult for the Machihan people to take care of themselves. After regaining Baling, he will have a buffer time to consolidate Baling's defense.
"Your Highness, my Highness's outward development will be beneficial to everyone, don't you think? Your Highness has no other intentions, but the threat of the Machikhans is getting bigger and bigger, and sooner or later they will become a serious problem for everyone. The necessary lessons are also a means. I think His Highness will also be happy to see this." Su Qin did not point it out and continued with a chuckle, "The Machihan people have always had great ambitions in the Wuhu area. They have repeatedly invaded the Wuhu area over the years. Wen Ning "
"Haha, Su Qin, I know your Highness's intentions very well, but as long as he doesn't enter the Five Lakes, I, Situ Biao, won't care at all. I don't care if he doesn't want to do anything for his own purposes. I can let him do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't infringe upon me. The interests of others are easy to talk about." Situ Biao was quite proud in his words. The power deployed by his uncle gradually began to emerge. The new army he organized and trained went extremely smoothly, and his combat effectiveness was also tested in the battle with the Milanese. Although it is still far behind the Sixth Legion, it can be proudly said that it is much stronger than Lao Qi's Tenth Legion and Lao Jiu's Eighth and Ninth Legion. No matter how unruly this guy Chang Gui is, the Wuhu area will have to be slowly brought under his control. The only trouble is the two northern provinces. When will the third brother hand over Huanggang? As for this guy Cheng Dayou, as long as Lao Jiu loses power , sooner or later he will make the right choice.
"His Royal Highness King Xiang, you still don't know what my Highness is thinking. As long as it belongs to the royal family, we in Western Xinjiang will never touch it. His Highness the King of Jin suddenly sent troops to loot Jincheng and looted hundreds of thousands of loads of grain reserves in Western Xinjiang. My Highness even He didn't even say a word, and still provoked criticism from the people of Kansai, which is enough to show the sincerity of my Highness." Su Qin explained calmly.
Situ Biao was naturally aware of this matter. Considering Li Wufeng's character, he had no reaction after suffering such a huge loss. Apart from the fact that it was not militarily suitable to march into Huanggang, the main reason was probably the third brother's identity, right? After all, the third brother is a member of the Situ family like himself, and everyone in the world belongs to the Situ family. He, Li Wufeng, is just a vassal king with a foreign surname. He is in the wilderness of the northwest. Being able to grant him the land of Kansai is already a gift from the empire. If he dares Provoking a war against the Situ family would definitely encounter strong resistance from outside the territory.
"Hehe, the third brother did something unreasonable indeed. We are really short of food. As soon as he opens his mouth, will your Highness refuse to save him? Your Highness is very generous to His Majesty. He will be five when he opens his mouth. Millions of tons of grain are still at a reasonable price. His Majesty is probably so happy that he can’t even sleep. I heard that the people of Heathrow are also buying grain from your Highness. How dare your Highness, an old enemy, sell it? Then when will I do the same? How about your Highness buying some spare food?" Situ Biao glanced at Su Qin intentionally or unintentionally.
"Haha, Your Highness, this food issue has always been under the sole control of my Highness. No one else, including Mr. Xiao, has the right to make the decision. If Your Highness wants to buy food, it is better to discuss it directly with My Highness." Su Qin pushed the topic away with one sentence, This group of people from the Situ family really thought that the world was still under their control. They talked more arrogantly than the other, asking for food when they asked for food. They even thought that His Highness was their servant and retainer. Su Qin said no in his heart. He looked disgusted, but his expression was extremely respectful, "However, His Highness King Jin's methods are a bit excessive. Although His Highness didn't say anything, he was still quite angry in his heart. This kind of behavior is like a robber, and it really insults the reputation of the royal family. If His Highness intends to take back the Northern Territory, and I think my Highness will be happy to see it."
"Oh? Your Highness really said this?" Situ Biao felt happy, and then he restrained his emotions and pretended to be indifferent and said calmly: "The third brother has no place to stay. I am a brother." I can’t bear to force him.”
"Since you are living in other people's territory, you should do your duty honestly. Su Qin can't imagine how His Highness the King of Jin can support his army of hundreds of thousands. Hasn't Jinzhong returned to the empire now? Then the two prefectures of Heishan and Longquan are supported by Su Qin. The Kaman people don't have much interest in it, and it will be a matter of time before it is discarded. His Highness King Jin can definitely go to his own territory to take office. As for Hejian Tianshui, as long as His Highness Jin can convince my Highness, it is not impossible to return it to His Highness Jin. Ah." Su Qin said confidently.
Situ Biao scoffed at Su Qin's statement that Li Wufeng was willing to exchange Hejian and Tianshui. With Li Wufeng's character, how could he spit out the fat he had eaten? Although Tianshui and Hejian were not considered fat now, even if they were Li Wufeng would never hand over the bones easily, especially to his third brother. As for the third brother, he probably didn't have the courage to carry it. After all, the Kaman people were watching and could go south at any time. It would be the same for him. Dare to take over easily.
However, he was not interested in whether Li Wufeng was interested in returning the land of Heshuo. What he was interested in was whether Li Wufeng was willing to help him take back Huanggang. Huanggang is a major grain-producing city, with Heshuo as a barrier to the north. The geographical location is safe and important. If it can be recovered, it will be only one step away from unifying the five lakes. However, the army in the hands of the third brother is not weak. If you want to rely on yourself It seems a little powerless to withdraw the power alone, but with Li Wufeng's assistance, the third brother has no choice but to surrender.
