"Senior brother doesn't seem to be very optimistic about the adult's expedition to the west?" Jin Ze seemed to hear some taste. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"That's not what I mean, but now that the main force of the northwest is marching westward, the pressure on our north is very great, I heard that the Kaman people are also making some small moves on the Jiayu Pass, and the situation on the Taixuan Mansion side is not calm. Gao Gao shook his head and said calmly: "If the Kaman and the Sithro join forces, I am afraid that the problems we face will be more troublesome, and Lord Li does not know if there will be any twists and turns in the middle of this westward expedition, which will also affect the morale of the people in the entire northwest." ”
Jin Zecheng had already vaguely heard the lofty opinions, and he also knew that there were different views within the military about this western expedition, first of all, Ling Tianfang, the chief of staff, expressed different opinions, and many generals in the army also supported Ling Tianfang's views, but in the end they were all vetoed by the Jiedu envoy. Gao Gao should be against the Western Expedition, but what about himself?
From a tactical point of view, the infantry-based Northwest Army went deep into the Tengger grassland to attack the nomadic Luope people should be said to be a sign of immaturity, the Luope people occupy the advantageous territory and people, although the Northwest Army is unexpected, but from the battle report now obtained, the Luope people's reaction is not slow, so the northwest will face a cruel tug-of-war. Once the war drags on, the supply of the northwest will be a big problem, but the time for the northwest to send troops is well chosen, it is the time when the livestock are fat, and the Luope people may not want the war to last too long, so even if they win, then they will also face a famine year.
From a strategic point of view, a battle against the Rope was imperative. The chaos in the Central Plains has appeared, this chaos will bring a long-lasting storm, not a year and a half can be calmed down, Lord Li has always regarded entering the Central Plains as the primary task, naturally will not give up this opportunity, but the northwest has always lacked a stable rear, although the Mott people and the Western Regions countries have been surrendered, but in fact, the unfavorable strategic situation has not been fundamentally improved, because it is the Luope people who can really endanger the security of the northwest, not the Mott people and the Western Regions countries, the surrender of these two places can only be said to make the northwest have a barrier, but the Mott people have been weakened a lot because of the war with the northwest, and it will take time to rebuild the armed forces of the Mott peopleAnd even if the Mott armed forces were restored to their former strength, they would not be able to stop the invasion of the Ropes, if the Ropes had made up their minds to invade eastward.
That weakens the strength of the Luope people, so that the strength of the Luope people is at a point where they cannot cope with the attacks of the Chidi people and the northwest from both sides, so that the Luope people always feel the threat of the old enemy Chidi people and have no time to consider the eastward invasion, this is probably the original intention of Lord Li, but there are still many auxiliary means to cooperate here, such as culture, commerce and trade, and support for pro-northwest forces, etc., these are the skills that Lord Li is best at.
Jin Zecheng supports the plan of the Jiedu envoy in his heart, but he is also worried that with the current strength of the northwest, if he wants to deal a blow to the Luobei people, I am afraid that there will be a great risk, but Lord Li has already decided, so it cannot be changed, and only let the facts prove right and wrong.
Wave after wave of shouts and killings did not seem to have any impact on Jin Zecheng and Gao Gao, Gao Gao still paid serious attention to the battlefield situation on the one hand, and arranged for his subordinates to take turns to fight to reduce the losses and pressure, Jin Zecheng while observing the enemy's situation, while thinking about what kind of pressure the northern defense would face if the western expedition did not go well, and whether the Sislo and Kaman would take advantage of the situation to send troops in a big way?
Receiving Wufeng's flying pigeon message, Xiao Tang did not dare to slack off, on the one hand issued an order to declare a state of emergency in the northwest, on the other hand, he also immediately summoned Tuo Ji, who rarely met before, to transfer Wufeng's handwritten letter to her, the taciturn girl did not have any extra words, just nodded and took the letter and left, and soon, a pair of big birds with black and shiny bodies in the backyard of the Jiedu Mansion rose to the sky, circled twice in the air, as if looking for direction, and flew straight to the northwest.
At the same time, Su Qin urgently summoned the diplomatic envoys of the Tubu people in Qingyang, and declared the Tubu envoys persona non grata and ordered them to leave Qingyang within a time limit.
Even in the height of summer, the green foothills of the Atlas Mountains are still unusually cool with strong winds, and streams from the snow-melting peaks above the snow line make their way through the valley in a series of beautiful small waterfalls. A huge round covered soft leather tent looks particularly magnificent in the glade between the valley and forest, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, plus the big flag with white background and green edge fluttering in the wind in front of the tent, and a double-headed eagle with teeth and claws flying in the air with the flag, lifelike.
The atmosphere inside the tent was not as warm and charming as the scenery outside, and the bearded man sitting on the top seat had a gloomy face, his dark brown eyes were particularly deep in the half-light of the tent, and he stroked the thick long beard under his chin while carefully pondering the two letters on the desk.
"Er, what do you think?" asked the bearded man after a while, his tone full of doubts.
Two months ago, when I went to Qingyang, I noticed that Li Wufeng was wantonly preparing for war, and the Luope people were interfering in the internal affairs of the Mote people in an attempt to cultivate a pro-Luope regime, which aroused Li Wufeng's strong dissatisfaction. The sturdy man sitting on the left was naturally the number two in the Dorr tribe of the Baiin people, and his tone was very casual, as if he was not too interested in the matter.
"Oh, it's just revenge on the Luopes, but Tuo Ji said in the secret letter that Li Wufeng seems to have mobilized a lot of troops. "The bearded man is the chief of the Dor, Tolemy, and when he receives a letter from Li Wufeng and his sister-in-law, he immediately invites his brother to consult.
"In the past two years, the Luope people have obtained a large amount of transit tariff revenue because of the opening of the trade road, and their strength has recovered quickly, which is far from being comparable to when they were defeated by Li Wufeng in the previous two years. Tuo Luo shook his head disdainfully, obviously not optimistic about the northwest.
"Well, second brother, what do you think ;;;;;;? Li Wufeng wrote a letter asking for help. "Tolemy was a little moved, "We signed a covenant with him, and it seems a little unreasonable to ignore it at this time." ”
"It depends on what you mean, big brother, do you want to say, as long as he Li Wufeng is willing to pay money and things, we will train the soldiers, carry out activities, and disturb the Kaman people, it is not impossible, but this is a good time for our sons to hunt, you might as well knock on Li Wufeng, the rich man; "Tuo Luo speaks quite artistically, without revealing his tendencies, and he knows that his eldest brother is very suspicious, and if he speaks inappropriately, he will make mistakes.
After hesitating for a while, Dulmy made up his mind and said: "Well, it doesn't seem like it's good to explain to Li Wufeng if you ignore this, and you're right, just train the soldiers, our standing army hasn't really been on the battlefield yet, so let them have a good hunt, but be careful not to work too hard, I'll have a good talk with Li Wufeng." At this, a smile could not help but appear on Dormy's gloomy face.
Tuo Luo was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to expose it at all, this was exactly the result he wanted, and nodded flatly: "Since the eldest brother has arranged it like this, I will go down to arrange it, and let the sons and daughters also go out to relax." ”
Returning to his tent, Dora did not delay much, and immediately summoned his henchmen and ordered them to rush to the Sykes tribe immediately to hand over the handwritten letter to his sworn brother Takla.
It feels good to be back in Yanjing, Situ Tai lazily immersed his whole body in the spring water with the right temperature, the kind of relaxation from the whole body and his soul made him have a dreamlike feeling, the faint sandalwood was absent, and the indescribable quiet and harmony in the whole bathroom made Situ Tai feel like he didn't want to get up.
All the chores in his mind were excluded, Situ Tai pointed to relax at this time, but he didn't expect Lao Jiu to embarrass himself, could he really have mistaken him? Slowly leaning his head on the soft pillow in the bathtub, the two half-naked maids had already quietly knelt on both sides of the bathtub, gently lifted Situ Tai's legs, and massaged them carefully.
No way, absolutely impossible! No one who wants to sit in that position will be a good person, and a good person will be a hell of a long time ago. Maybe he felt that the time was not yet ripe, or there was a bigger conspiracy going on, Situ Tai didn't want to explore these uninteresting things at this time, but his mind did not shift with his own will, and he unconsciously returned to the issues he was most concerned about.
The prepared specialties must be sent out as soon as possible, Tian Yi, Zeng Guohong, Jilin, Lu Wenfu and a few of their right-hand men should be comforted, Frey and Fu Jian have to meet alone, the changes in Beijing during this time, only these two can figure out what Lao Jiu has done, and the two of them should have some spectrum in their hearts. Father's place, I have to meet him in a while, but I want to see what excuse Lao Jiu uses to prevent him from meeting his father, and he can't help his son to return to Beijing and not let him visit his sick father, if he doesn't let himself see him, then it's better, let the courtiers see what kind of person he Situ Lang is, thinking of this, the corner of Situ Tai's mouth is faintly smiling.
