"Oh?" Wu Feng, who was resting with his eyes closed, couldn't help but open his eyes slightly, with a solemn look on his face, "Fang Xianling is an old and calm guy, he actually took the lead at this critical time, could it be that the empire is already fully prepared? shouldn't it be so fast?"
Sitting up slowly, Wu Feng pondered carefully, "Frost Shadow, the information that came yesterday, where is the fastest division of the Fourth Army of the Empire?"
Qin Shuangying replied without thinking: "The fastest has already entered the realm of Jinzhong Mansion, and according to the current time, it should have passed the Jinzhong Mansion City by now." www.biquge.info"Originally, the best way to return to Kansai from the Wuhu region was to go through the Sanjiang County area and directly into the Kansai region, but the passage of an army of this size through Sanjiang County would inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Lin family, the de facto ruler of Sanjiang County, but in fact this was not realistic with the plan, so the Fourth Army could only make a detour north through Jinzhong to cross the two prefectures of Hejian and Tianshui, and then divert from Tianshui to the south and return to the Kansai region." As a result, the distance is much longer, and the road conditions are not very good, and the time required is much longer.
"What about the news from Yanjing?" After a moment's thought, Wu Feng asked again.
"The news came the day before yesterday that some personnel from the Imperial Internal Affairs Department and the General Police Department had already moved west in batches, and it was estimated that the destination was the Kansai Prefectures, and the situation in Yanjing and the neighboring prefectures had also begun to become tense, but in general, there had been no big moves. Qin Shuangying's fingers gently swept the hair between his sideburns, and replied.
"Then why would Fang Xianling be so eager to make a big move? Could it be that those Taiping disciples in Lujiang had some over-the-top actions that stimulated him?" Wu Feng muttered to himself.
After a little hesitation, Qin Shuangying quickly glanced at Guan and Lu Ernu beside Wu Feng, and then said: "Brother Feng, I guess that Fang Xianling took into account the unique geographical location of Lujiang Mansion, and was worried that it would become more and more difficult to control after a long delay, so he did it first?" Lujiang is located in the southeast of Guanxi County, bordering Tiannan County in the east, Bashan Mansion in the west, Hanzhong Mansion in the north, and the Cangmang Dahengduan Mountain Range in the south.
Hearing Qin Shuangying's words, he didn't have a sharp edge, and then carefully figured out the meaning of this, Fang Xianling is a shrewd and capable official, maybe he has long been aware of the grim situation in his surrounding prefectures and counties, but he is just a city guard, naturally he has no right to intervene in the affairs of other prefectures and counties, and the connection between the remote Lujiang River and the central government of the empire is cut off by other prefectures and counties, and if there is really turmoil, I am afraid that it is really difficult to control it with the power of the Lujiang government, so it is also one of the best means to strike first.
Thinking of this, Wu Feng nodded with satisfaction, and gave the long-awaited beauty an appreciative look, which made Qin Shuangying, who was already a little nervous, suddenly feel as comfortable as eating honey, and her spirit doubled.
"Sister Qin can really understand what Brother Feng means, if she changes her little sister, there is really no way. Lu Xianxian said with an envious face.
"Xian Xian doesn't need to envy your Sister Qin, it's enough for you to understand your brother Feng's mind in bed. Wu Fengyin smiled and put her big hand into the deer slender blouse leaning beside her, gently rubbing her smooth and smooth lower abdomen, and from time to time twisting her fingers on the jade navel between the beauty's abdomen, so that her face was crimson and she couldn't help but twist her body, and her misty eyes were firmly locked on the face of Ai Lang beside her.
"Phew, Brother Feng knows how to say these obscene words to seduce people, even doing the right thing. Guan Yingying, on the other side, saw Ailang's clutches probed into Xian Xian's clothes, smiled and pinched Ailang's thighs, so painful that Wufeng couldn't help grinning, and the other hand unceremoniously pressed Yingying's buttocks directly, making Yingying, who was a little resentful, immediately tremble, and suddenly softened.
Even Qin Shuangying, who was seriously checking the information, seemed to feel the atmosphere in the room, and her cheeks, which were as white as jade, slowly turned red, although her eyes were still looking at the information on the case, her hands were unconsciously flipping through it, but her inner thoughts had long since flown away. Although she has been happy with Wu Feng many times in Yanjing, she almost always sleeps alone with Wu Feng, although she also knows that sooner or later she will have to wait for Ai Lang with these sisters, but she has never pierced this layer of paper. Looking at the situation, if it weren't for his presence, maybe he would have to work together on the spot, and he couldn't help but clamp his legs, not daring to make a sound, for fear that his situation would be discovered by the other party.
In fact, Wu Feng had already discovered the changes in Qin Shuangying, but he still quietly teased the second daughter of Guan Lu, although Qin Shuangying had also been happy with herself many times, but she was conservative in this regard, she still remained shy in this regard, and even surpassed her junior sister, thinking of this, Wu Feng couldn't help but boil his blood, if he could press this senior sister and sister on the bed at the same time to enjoy the blessings of the whole family, the wonderful taste was really extraordinary, and he didn't know when he would be able to get what he wanted? Wu Feng quietly glanced at the beautiful woman who was a little cramped and uneasy.
"My lord, there is an urgent report from North Luzon!" The sound of the announcement from the distance from the guards interrupted Wu Feng's thoughts, and he was slightly stunned, Wu Feng immediately returned to normal, and a pair of hands also withdrew from the body of the second girl beside him, and after a little groaning, he said, "Let him come to my study." He motioned for the girls to leave.
At this time, an urgent report came from North Luzon, it must be a relatively important matter, and the girls got up with interest, and the second daughter of Guan Lu hurriedly sorted out some scattered clothes, and sent an autumn wave to Ailang coquettishly, and then left.
After reading the letter, Wu Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly, although he didn't completely forget about this matter, but he didn't expect that the Indian people would come to the door again at this time, it seems that he blamed himself for being a little inconsiderate when he was in Yanjing, he only knew how to grab benefits at that time, but he didn't take into account that he also needed to pay a considerable price to obtain benefits, especially in this bone joint.
Liang Chongxin's letter is to report to Wu Feng the requirements of the nobles of the Hyderabad tribe of the Indian Kingdom, and it is also the fulfillment of the agreement reached between Wu Feng and the envoy of the Inderabad in Yanjing, after reaching the agreement, the Indyan people are very compliant with the agreement, and soon open the checkpoints in the area under their control, and the goods and caravans in the area controlled by Wu Feng have indeed received tariff reduction and exemption treatment when passing through the Hyderabad tribal control area, but these treatments are not unconditional, since May, the nobles of the Hyderabad tribe have come to ask Wu Feng to fulfill his promise, but they have been Ling Tianfang and Liang Chongxin because Wu Feng has not returned to the territory and cannot be the masterใ But the perseverance of the Indeans even sent an envoy to Zhongzhou to meet Wufeng again, asking Wufeng to fulfill his promise, at that time Wufeng also excused himself on the grounds that he had not returned to the territory, but at the insistence of the other party, he had to promise that he would give them a satisfactory explanation after returning to the territory.
How do you know that the Yindean people have such a keen sense of smell, probably they got the news as soon as they left Beijing, otherwise they wouldn't have found Liang Chongxin so quickly. The problem is that the empire is in chaos, and Northern Luzon is in a relatively safe environment, which is a good opportunity to develop the economy and build it into its own rear.
After carefully reading Liang Chongxin's letter again, Wu Feng's heart slowly calmed down. In the past six months, as the de facto military commander of North Luzon, Liang Chongxin has spent a lot of effort, especially the high-intensity quality and tactical training of the armed forces in the entire North Luzon region, whether it is the two garrison divisions or the reading infantry division, the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, and several divisions and regiments have also carried out several composite military exercises under the leadership of the first division, and the results have also been quite good.
But just with these four divisions, they wanted to challenge the Tik tribe, which was known as one of the three major tribes of the Indians, and Wufeng was not so arrogant. The Tik tribe is known as one of the three major tribes in the Indian Kingdom, with a population of more than 20 million, and there is also a Punjab tribe next to it, although the combat effectiveness of the Indian army is not favored by Wufeng, but the gap in numbers between the two sides is still a problem that has to be considered. As the saying goes, ants bite elephants to death, and the Indeans are not ants.
In addition to these reasons, Wu Feng also had the idea of drawing the 1st Division back to the Northwest County as a strategic general reserve when the time was ripe, so as to add a weight to his side in the upcoming war.
But the demands of the Hyderabad tribes cannot be ignored, otherwise once they raise tariffs again, the impact on past commercial interests will be secondary, and if the rumors of their untrustworthy promises are revealed, their prestige in the Central Continent will be greatly affected, which Wu Feng does not want to see, how can the reputation he has worked so hard to build up be destroyed casually? You must know that in this world, sometimes a good reputation can often be more conducive to the expansion of power, and it can also blind the eyes of many people, and Wu Feng has a deep understanding of this.
Another important reason is that Liang Chongxin's views in the letter also moved him.
"No matter how well an army performs in training, it is far less useful than the experience gained from going through a real war, because the ever-changing sudden situation and the test of life and death in a real war cannot be experienced by the officers and men of an army in ordinary training exercises, and without this, this army can never be called a real army. โ
"Well, Liang Chongxin, this kid is really good at making up reasons, obviously he wants to fight, but he still gives me this set of high-sounding reasons, but it makes a little sense. While chewing the words carefully, Wu Feng muttered to himself with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "This guy is probably suffocated, so let him go and well, I hope I won't be disappointed." โ
Spreading out the letter, Wu Feng picked up the pen and wrote six words on the snow-white paper as a reply: "Reasonable, well-founded, and modest!" Two points were heavily dotted under the last two words.
