Section 85 Diplomatic Wrangling

www.biquge.inforeadx;

The battle on the Northern Front, especially the blows suffered by the two provinces in the northwest, was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Li Wufeng, and when he swore that he would do his best to protect the safety of their lives and property to the people of the northwest, such a serious incident occurred, and the brilliant results of the war on the northern front were immediately swept away by this blow.

Originally, when the war in the north ended, Bo Jinchen had proposed that it was necessary to transfer some troops to strengthen the defense in the direction of Jiayuguan, especially the need to prevent the Kaman people from taking risks to retaliate against the western Xinjiang, Wu Feng insisted that the Kaman people no longer had the extra strength to attack their territory, although he also asked Jin Zecheng, who was stationed on the front line of Taixuan, to strengthen his vigilance, but Wu Feng did not adopt Bo Jinchen's proposal to transfer a ranger regiment and an ordinary army division to strengthen the monitoring and defense outside Jiayu Pass, but he did not expect Bo Jinchen to be unlucky, but the third division lacking cavalry was obviously powerless for the surprise invasion of the Kaman cavalry, in addition to hastily paying some price to win some time for the people to escape, Jin Zecheng could only do nothing.

On the day of receiving the news, a special issue was published, which reported on the various bad deeds and atrocities of the Kamans in Yinchuan and Taixuan in an all-round and extensive way, and listed in detail the criminal acts of the Kamans in the invasion of the Tanghe Empire over the years, and also reacted to the news at the first time, and the public opinion in the entire western Xinjiang region showed a one-sided trend, and the news media and public opinion demanded that the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate make a tough response to the Kamans' atrocities against humanitarianism, and the military generals who were originally divided into three opinions also unified their opinions in this situation, advocating that the Kamans should be given a comprehensive attack on the Kamans mainly in military action as a retaliationIn addition, the Sislo and Baiin people were contacted to send troops at the same time to strive for the greatest isolation and defeat of the Kamans, and the people's representatives also held a signed appeal, demanding that the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate should include the recapture of Jiayu Pass in the agenda, and strive to return the most important pass in the northern part of the empire to their own hands in the shortest possible time.

The Western Xinjiang Foreign Affairs Department also took urgent action, and the envoys to the Sithro Empire and the Baiyin people also rushed to their respective destinations in the shortest possible time, and a battle to punish the Kamans was already imperative.

On January 18, 699, Wang Yi, the envoy of the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate, and Promilos, the foreign minister of the Siathrow Empire, issued a joint statement in Nuremberg, an important town in the south of the Sithro Empire, announcing a joint embargo against the Kaman Empire, It is already commendable that the Siathrow Empire can do this level, after all, the Siathrow Empire and the Kaman Empire are of the same clan and clan, if it were not for the reckless behavior of the Kaman military in the early stage, which angered the Siathrow and the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Protector Xu Yi, I am afraid that it would be impossible to achieve the current state.

On January 20, Tolemy, the great chief of the Dore tribe of the Baiyin tribe, told the visiting envoy of the western Xinjiang that he would cooperate with the military operations in the south of the western Xinjiang to launch a winter offensive in the north to contain the Kamanes, and of course, it was indispensable to ask for some financial assistance and material needs to the western Xinjiang, and the two sides basically reached an agreement on this.

But Li Wufeng is not the only one who is acting, Gomez is also not idle, the duel between the two sides is no longer a simple military duel, and the victory or defeat of the war is often even affected by factors other than the frontal battlefield.

Some bloated bodies lay quietly in the soft cashmere felt chairs, and a pair of seemingly cloudy eyes flashed from time to time to prove that the old man in front of him, who had held the power of the Luo Pei clan for decades, did not become dull because of age, and his fat nose became a little red from long-term alcoholism, but the alcohol did not seem to affect his judgment of the current situation.

"My lord, the messenger of the Kamanites has been here for several days, and I wonder if we should send him back first?" The man standing in the big tent was dressed in a traditional Luope robe, the huge charcoal stove in the tent had replaced the dung heap in the past, the warm heat was surging in the big tent, the cold wind was howling outside the tent, and the warm tent was completely two worlds, even the man standing respectfully in the tent felt a little hot, and couldn't help but untie a tripper on his chest, I don't know what was the reason for the uneasiness in his heart was really a little unsuitable for the too warm temperature in the tent, Doni felt that there was always a bad premonition.

"Doni, I heard that Li Wufeng seems to be moving more and more in our eastern side, far beyond the original agreement we signed, isn't he a little too deceitful?" did not reply to his henchman in charge of housekeeping, but the old man in the chair suddenly pulled the topic to Zheng Dongdong, who had not been mentioned for a long time.

With a shake in his heart, the worries in Doni's heart were finally confirmed, and it seemed that the Great Chief had a new idea.Doni sighed in his heart, there has been a dispute within the clan about whether to maintain the current status quo with the Western Metropolitan Protectorate established by Li Wufeng, and the focus of the controversy is about the conquest of the land and herdsmen in the east near the Mott peopleAs an official in charge of internal affairs in the clan, Doni is naturally aware of the changes in the situation there, and he has also made some reports to the Great Chief on these issues, but in the past, the Great Chief has avoided making decisions on this aspect of affairs with an evasive attitude, and there has never been such a special mention today, which makes Doni a little worried.

There have always been two completely different views on the attitude of the clan towards Li Wufeng, and the faction headed by Tu Da has always been resolutely opposed to maintaining the current situation with Li Wufeng, believing that according to the current situation, Li Wufeng's power and status in the East Tengger Grassland will continue to increase, and the current situation of the Mote, Tubu and Qiuer people is the Luope people of tomorrow, and they advocate peace talks with the Chidi, on the one hand, they will plunder to the south to improve the strength of the tribe, and on the other hand, they will actively prepare for war, contact foreign aid, and prepare for a long-term war with Li Wufeng to regain the dominance of the Luope people in the East Tengger grasslandThey are still indulging in the glorious historical memories of the Luope people in the eastern Tengger grassland, and are unwilling to accept the reality, and there are many figures who have considerable influence on the big chiefs, and their influence is quite large.

The strength of the two factions is equal, and the conservatives have an advantage in the army, but with the commercial exchanges in the western Xinjiang to go deep into the grassland, especially the rise of the wool textile industry, the wool river cashmere has become a well-known soft gold, and the Tang River merchants who flocked to the Tang River have gradually immersed themselves in the interior of the grassland from the outside to the inside, making the price of wool and cashmere skyrocketIt became a strong backing for the open-minded faction led by Watt and Doni, which made the conservative forces feel more pressure, so much so that they constantly demanded that the Great Chieftain Li Wufeng make a tough performance, demanding that the sovereignty of the land and population in the east be reclaimed, and a strong army in the east should be re-established, so as to regain the right to rule the eastern Tengger grassland.

On the surface, this demand has a strong incitement motive, especially for those ordinary people who do not understand the price behind it, but in Dhoni's personal opinion, although Tu Da's military ability is unmatched, he lacks a clear understanding of the trend of the situation on the mainland, especially the trend of historical development, the era of thinking that he can sweep the world with a sword and gun right away has passed, if he can't even realize this, I'm afraid he can't even be a qualified military commander.
