"But if Li Wufeng is not allowed to bring enough troops to protect himself, why would he follow your Lao Jiu's orders to enter Beijing? Lao Jiu will not be naïve enough to think that Li Wufeng is a pillar of the empire full of loyalty and patriotism, right?" Situ Tai asked rhetorically.

"This is also the most incomprehensible part of the old man, although Li Wufeng's surname likes to take risks, but like this kind of trap with few benefits and huge risks, Li Wufeng will not drill into it even if he is bold, even if he wants to take risks, I am afraid that the military generals under his command will not agree to him to take risks lightly. Leng Qian, who was still dressed in gray clothes, seemed to be getting thinner and thinner, but the pair of jet-black eyes in the deep sunken eye sockets were extremely deep.

"Let's take a look first, anyway, Lao Jiu just asked us to wait for a group of people to enter Beijing in March, what is strange in this, we still have some time to ponder, but I always feel that this is a bit like a conspiracy against us, I have a bad premonition, this time we are not good for us, even if we bring enough force, I am afraid that something will happen, my premonition has always been very smart."

Situ Tai sighed, a little tired and pressed his fingers on the temples on both sides of his head, he was exhausted by financial constraints, although some progress was made in the negotiations with the Yanjing merchants, but the amount of funds obtained was too small, and those heavyweights all maintained a relatively cold attitude, obviously made up their minds to wait until the water was clear before they would be willing to take out a loan with themselves. In the future, not only will it be more difficult for them to recover the treasure island and Kamchatka Island and the Ryukyu Islands, but the threat of the Japanese will directly penetrate into the three coastal counties, although the Japanese can obtain some materials from Quanzhou and smuggling, but in the land of Quanzhou, as long as they strengthen the blockade of Quanzhou and the control of smuggling, the throat of the Japanese people will always be in their own hands, and the stakes in this must be carefully considered.

Seeing that his lord looked tired, Leng Qian naturally knew that the other party must be worried about financial problems again, but at this point, he was really powerlessEven at the end of the period, Situ Yuan saw that the general trend had gone, and he also participated in the looting of the wealthy industrial and commercial households in an organized manner, and the industrial and commercial losses in the entire southeast region were extremely heavy.

In Yuhang Mansion, Situ Yuan emptied all the treasury of Jiangnan County before fleeing, and the industrial and commercial circles also frantically transferred assets under the instigation and lead of Liao Qichang, leaving Situ Tai with only one empty city; in Songjiang Mansion, which is known as the hometown of textiles, because the decisive battle between the two armies was here, almost all the industrial and commercial owners either moved away in advance or were taken captive; while in Gusu and Weiyang, the rich families followed the trend and fled; when Situ Tai's army entered the city, except for some landed nobles, almost all the industrial and commercial circles had closed down, and seventy percent of the ten percent had already moved their industries to Guanxi and TiannanThe withdrawal of a large number of funds has led to a tightening of the monetary base, soaring prices, and the people are miserable, and the whole Jiangnan is boiling with public resentment.

The financial difficulties directly affected the operation of the three legions in Situ Tai's hands, and some of the old people in Situ Tai's hands had already been almost consumed to support the normal operation of the first and second legions, although there were gains from the East China Sea and Jiangnan in the later period, but with the formation of the new legions, this amount of funds seemed insignificant, if it wasn't for Situ Tai to find a way to get a loan from the Doton Kingdom, I am afraid that he would not be able to survive this time.

At this time, Situ Tai and Leng Qian profoundly realized the truth that the economy determines everything, and that a strong armed force is important, but without a strong financial foundation to back it up, all this is a castle in the air, while finance is built on an economic foundation, it is also impossible to feed such an army of up to hundreds of thousands of people .

However, both Situ Tai and Leng Qian believed that all this would be solved after taking the throne, as long as they could ascend to the throne, Situ Tai and Leng Qian both believed that with their orthodox status and military power in their hands, they could quickly pacify Wuhu and Quanzhou, and at that time, adopt reasonable economic policies to stimulate the development of productive forces, gradually restore the original national strength of the empire, and finally point the spearhead at the west, and solve the scourge of Li Wufeng with all the strength of the country, until the unification of the empire from nominal to substantive.

Of course, this idea is quite beautiful, as for whether it can be realized, Situ Tai and Leng Qian are certainly full of confidence, but as the other party, will they be so obedient and slaughtered?

The thick smell of blood can be clearly smelled even a few hundred meters away, dark red blood stains can be seen everywhere, Miley can clearly see a centurion leaning against the wall and leaning against the root of the wall with some pain and unwillingness, but the slight smile on the corner of his mouth looks a little weirdThis beacon tower that doubles as a small fortress is an important bridge between several cities, whether from east to west or from south to north, the alarm can be transmitted as quickly as possible, which is probably why the enemy attacked here in the first place.

The corpses of more than twenty soldiers were scattered scattered throughout the two-story beacon tower, most of them killed after being hit by the same style of black lacquer rubber pressed carved arrows, and several were killed by injuries inflicted by sharp slashing weapons, probably caused by weapons such as those of the rangers in melee combat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 There were more than twenty corpses at the door of the fortress, apparently killed in the final battle with the enemy after the enemy had broken through the fortress's defenses.

The eagle feather at the tail of the feathered arrow was still exposed on the edge of the deadly centurion's chest heart armor, and the arrow just escaped the protection of the copper heart armor, piercing through the thick double leather armor and piercing into the chest. It stands to reason that this arrow is enough to kill him on the spot, but perhaps it was the will aroused by a great sense of responsibility that made the centurion drag his dying body to the beacon tower and ignite the beacon fire, perhaps the completion of the mission made him relax a little, and the fatal blow finally took away the life that was maintained by the will.

Bending down slightly, Miley looked at the centurion's somewhat distorted face because of pain, and then turned over the other party's body, the swarthy arrow through the body, the dark red blood stains on the arrow shaft were a little purple, Miley touched the arrow with his hand, and his two fingers silently exercised his skills, "Boom" With a bang, the arrow fell off the pole, lifted the arrow between his fingers and looked at it in front of him for a while, then shook his head and dropped the arrow, straightened the centurion's body again, and looked at it for a long time before he stretched out his hand to close his round eyes for the other party, stood up straight, and walked forward silently.

None of the 100-man team in the entire fortress could survive, and it could be seen that the enemy was intent on annihilating all the troops in this beacon fortress, and it was inferred from the horseshoe marks around the fortress that the other party had at least more than 2,000 horsemen, although there was a strong city to defend, but in the face of an enemy dozens of times more than himself, the hundred-man team still had no chance, but Miley believed that the enemy did not take advantage, but from the current situation, nothing else could be seen.

The generals and leading officers who followed closely behind Miley turned pale, and the flames that were enough to melt gold and iron flickered in their eyes, and this was the fourth similar situation seen in the past half a month! The purpose of the Tang River people seemed to be very accurate, one by one, they uprooted these contact points that were densely scattered throughout the southern plains, and taking advantage of their cavalry superiority, they concentrated their forces in a short period of time to attack and fight hard, greatly destroying the defense network in this area. Although such a battle may bring a lot of damage to the cavalry of the Western Frontier, if it continues like this, it will be their own side that cannot hold it in the end.

Claudia, who was at the forefront of a general, found that he was already a little unable to restrain his anger, and his huge anger was like a surging wave of anger hitting his nerves, and he felt that if he didn't find a suitable opportunity to vent, he would really be burned to ashes by anger.
