The generals' expectant gaze was like an invisible pressure wrapped around Wu Feng's body layer by layer, making him feel heavy. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info said in his heart, he really didn't want to entangle here anymore, whether his strength allowed it or not, whether it was to go north to recover Jiama, Van Lin or help the Gerlocke people hold on to Mercury, he was unwilling, after all, this would restrain him too much energy and troops, and the place he dreamed of haunting was the East, the prosperous and rich Central Plains in the East, that was the goal of his dream.

Thinking of this, Wu Feng couldn't help but think of the words he had talked to Ling Tianfang when he first met each other and himself that year, although the northwest is vast and sparsely populated, but this is a marginal area of several major regions, and it has always been a place of a hundred battles, and it is easy to gain a foothold, but if you want to develop and grow here, you will receive restrictions from all sides. There are wolves and tigers on all sides, and they may take you lightly when you haven't revealed your strength, but once they find out that you have become a threat to them, they will spare no effort to strangle you, but fortunately, they have survived this level. Weak economic strength is also the weakness of the northwest, the growth of economic strength takes time, this is by no means other can be achieved overnight, but unfortunately the great change of the empire is imminent, there is not much time, and I really can't wait for the day when the economic development of the northwest can fully meet the needs of its own expansion.

The lights and shadows are swaying, reflecting the figure of Wufeng and the generals in a fluctuating manner, and the generals also know that everyone's opinions have moved the coach, but the final decision is still in the hands of the coach, as a soldier and politician, Wufeng needs to consider not only the military initiative and needs, once the political initiative and the people's hearts are lost, this may be a deal that outweighs the losses.

Slowly sitting back in the handsome chair, Wu Feng shook his head slightly, obviously having already made up his mind, "The time is not yet ripe at this time, it is easy to occupy Merrington and South Gerok at the moment, but if we want to completely subdue the hearts of the people of Gerlock, it will be difficult to climb to the sky, we can't be so short-sighted." Such things can never be hidden, and if they are made public, they will ruin the image we have worked so hard to build, and I have decided to abandon this plan. ”

"Your Excellency!;;;;;;" Kang Jianguo, who was in a hurry, couldn't help but shout out, while several other people such as Sha Lang and Qi Bai also wanted to speak and stopped, only Cui Wenxiu and Song Tianxiong lowered their heads and did not express their position.

"Needless to say, I've made up my mind. We don't have that ability and can't go north, but garrisoning in Merrington is a must, and the Gerok people must show their sincerity, or I'd rather give up here. Wu Feng's face looked so clear under the reflection of the light, and every change in his expression was seen by the generals.

"Gerok is definitely mine, and it can only be mine, and no one can take it, neither the Kamans nor the guys who are staying in Merrington now. Speaking of this, Wu Feng smiled, his snow-white teeth looked so dazzling in the light, and the smile on his face was so bright, it was a strong contrast to the tone of his voice.

When the generals heard Wu Feng say this, they all knew that Wu Feng had made up his mind, so they didn't say anything more, straightened up and saluted to show their compliance.

"Okay, Berlin, you go and negotiate with Lamon and Balins, and tell him that I am not feeling well, so I will not participate, only one sentence, if Mercury can hold it by his own ability, we will leave, if not, ask them to let us share the burden for Archduke Allen. ”

"Berlin obeyed. Zeppelin straightened his waist, his face flashing with excitement, "It's just, my lord, if the number of garrisons is ;;;;;;."

"Hmph, they don't want us to garrison too many troops in their hearts, right? I don't have so many people, just one division is limited, and they bear the military expenses, in addition, you convey my meaning, this time our army reinforcement Gerlock has suffered huge damage, and the cost is not small, they are people who understand, and they should understand what we mean. Wu Feng stretched his body lazily, stood up, and smiled silverly, "Okay, everyone has worked hard this time, it's time to relax and enjoy it, well, Duke Lanmeng is really a smart person, and he sent thirty dancing concubines to comfort the army, let's take a few back by one, and also bring back your deputy, I don't need to remind you about the problem on duty." ”

"Hehe", "Hehe", "Haha" bursts of men's unique laughter sounded tacitly in the big tent, "Adults rest assured ;;;;;;", the whole big tent laughed again and again, and the guards outside the tent also felt a tingling scalp, as if they had walked into some special place.

"Lord Qin, please!"

"Master Cui, please!" Qin Feng looked at the affectionate middle-aged man in front of him with some flattery, if it wasn't for the other party's self-declaration, he would never have thought that this one of the top military generals under the king of the northwest would come to visit him in person.

The mansion where Qin Feng lived was a medium-sized mansion that was not big or small, and the location was also moderate, and after returning from defeat, it was a guest residence, and such conditions were barely passable, of course, it could not be compared with the mansion given by Grand Duke Allen to Wufeng and his generals.

"Lord Qin has been here for some time, right?" The middle-aged man was naturally Cui Wenxiu, and he took a sip of hot tea lightly, as if asking casually.

With a wry sigh on his face, Qin Feng replied with some feelings: "Well, it's been almost a year, since the Kamans began to launch an offensive in Gerok, two divisions of our Third Army Corps were ordered to be stationed in the south of Jerok to help assist in the defense. Yanyun Incident, the Poole people also frequently provoked conflicts on the northern border, and the situation in the north was tense, so the two divisions of the Northern Military Region were withdrawn back, and the third division of the Third Army was drawn to the side of Van Lin, leaving only my second division here to work hard with the Gerok, and the situation later Lord Cui also knew, the Kamans broke through with heavy troops, and we couldn't resist it and came back, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid we would also be like the Gerok people in this Merrington corpse. ”

"Lord Qin's words are serious, you and I are both emperors [***] people, although we are not subordinate to each other, but in this Jieluo, we can be regarded as outsiders, and we should work together with each other and support each other. Cui Wenxiu's eyes rolled, and he comforted with a smile, "The combat effectiveness of the Kaman people is by no means in vain, this time we were able to repel the Kamans, but also because of their own domestic problems, otherwise it is difficult to say who will kill the deer, and our three divisions on the southern front have also suffered a lot of losses, exceeding the losses of our Northwest Army over the years." ”

Qin Feng felt comfortable for a while, although he knew that the other party had the element of comforting him, but he didn't think that his troops were inferior, the reason for the defeat was because the difference in the strength of the combat strength was too great, and it was not the fault of the battle, of course, the other party's ability to defeat the Kamans was not all based on external objective factors as the other party just said, and the troops without strength would never be able to win on the battlefield.

"Lord Cui is too modest, the achievements of the Northwest Army in the past few years are not false, from the Luope people to the Luzon people, and then to the current Kaman people, these are all fought with a knife and a gun, although the younger brother is not talented, but he also knows that this war is not just a matter of talking. Qin Feng shook his head and said, he said that he hadn't figured out the other party's intentions yet, but the other party was already very grateful to be able to visit him in person, after all, he was in a difficult situation, and even the Gerok people didn't look down on it now, and an upstart like the other party was now the object of the Gerok people, but at this time, he came to visit him, no matter what, he could afford himself.

"Hehe, let's not talk about this matter, my Lord Li was originally going to visit Lord Qin in person, but he received an urgent battle report last night, and he had already left Merrington early this morning. Cui Wenxiu quietly took the topic back.

"Oh, emergency battle report?" Qin Feng's heart trembled, Li Wufeng's sudden departure at this time would definitely not be a trivial matter.

After pondering for a while, Cui Wenxiu muttered: "Brother Qin is not an outsider, and the junior brother is not satisfied with you, there is a battle report from the south, and the Lulong Mansion has been attacked by the Taiping Sect the day before yesterday." ”

"Huh?!Lu Long lost?" Qin Feng couldn't help but be surprised, he knew what it meant for Lu Long to be lost, and now Merrington had become an enemy on three sides, with only the west and northwest bordering the tiger's mouth.

"Well, Master Li is very anxious, and he has already gone south overnight, and before leaving, the exhibition told the younger brother to come to visit Brother Qin. Cui Wenxiu's eagle-like gaze was firmly locked on the other party's face, and he said word by word.

Just one sentence was like a soldering iron on Qin Feng's heart, making Qin Feng's whole body shrink, although he didn't know the true meaning of the other party's words, but the other party must have a deep meaning behind what he said.

"Brother Cui, you and I are both understanding people, why don't you open the skylight and say something bright, so that my brother can understand a thing or two. After settling down, Qin Feng asked calmly while thinking quickly in his mind.

"Hehe, what are Brother Qin's plans now?" Cui Wenxiu did not directly answer the other party's question, but asked about the other party's current plans.

Stunned for a moment, his face slowly darkened, Qin Feng sighed with some interest and said: "What else are you going to do? ”

Smiling quietly, Cui Wenxiu bowed slightly: "Brother Qin is too pessimistic, isn't it?

"What can you do if you don't wait like this? Don't tell lies in front of real people, Brother Cui, now that the road to the Central Plains has been blocked by the Taiping Sect, the empire is now in danger, how the situation will change in the future, who can say clearly?" Qin Feng has slowly figured out a little bit of the other party's intentions, although it is not completely clear, but it must be related to the current Merrington of his own garrison, he is not in a hurry, and waits quietly for the other party to find out.
