Section 23 Spying

Looking at the people densely clustered in the streets and alleys, each simple and honest face showed a heartfelt smile of love, while waving his hand to the people in a chic manner, moved, Wu Feng but a little regretful, let the princess who was already quite scheming around him accept the people's congratulations with him, which undoubtedly recognized her status by his side to the people in his territory, whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, it seems that it can still be said now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
And Situ Yutang, who was sitting next to Wufeng, looked at the scene in front of her, but she had a different feeling in her heart, she could see that the people were cheering from the heart, which showed how high the prestige of her fiancé in the eyes of the people here was. Although the blessings of the people were happy, she could also see that they were more interested in finding a beautiful and noble princess for their lord, but they did not take their identity as a princess representing the royal family of the Tang River Empire to heart. Maybe if he lost the aura of the man next to him, he would be no different from the identity of any other beautiful woman, Situ Yutang thought to himself.
It is conceivable that the news that Li Wufeng, the military and political envoy of the Northwest and the governor of Northern Luzon, and his fiancée, His Royal Highness Situ Yutang, the seventeenth princess of the empire, will soon appear on the front page of the "Northwest Star", which will become the best content for the people of all walks of life in the entire Northwest and even in the North Luzon region.
When Wu Feng mentioned his concerns to Xiao Tang afterwards, Xiao Tang laughed and comforted his top boss: "My lord, you may be making too much of a fuss." Who in the entire Northwest and Northern Luzon doesn't know your grace, not to mention that the seventeenth princess has not officially married you yet, even if she marries you, according to your status as a duke, you can marry eight wives, she is only one of them, not to mention that the people support you, she only exists as your wife, you don't have to be too careful. ”
When Wu Feng mentioned that he was really not suitable for the life of a woman who shared a bed with him and had a different dream, Xiao Tang looked Wu Feng up and down with strange eyes, and Wu Feng was very unhappy in his heart, and Xiao Tang said after a while: "My lord, if you really don't like Her Royal Highness the princess, then you should regard this marriage as a political need, I think maybe there will be more than one such marriage in the future, anyway, there is no shortage of women around you, you don't necessarily have to find your so-called feelings in these women." ”
Xiao Tang's harsh words made Wu Feng speechless for a while, but if he thought about it carefully, those who have achieved big things are not informal, so why should he be obsessed with these little things? Not to mention that there are many women around him who are happy with him, thinking of this, Wu Feng is also relieved. Recalling the woman he loved, the beautiful and pleasant faces kept flashing in his mind, and the delicate figures of the Li sisters with different surnames suddenly flashed in front of him, and he didn't know when he would be able to see these three beautiful princesses again, all princesses, why did the Li sisters stay with him but let themselves feel extremely relaxed and happy? Maybe this is because there is no conflict of interest.
Robin City, the capital of Luzon. In Prime Minister Brundtland's mansion, the Prime Minister, who already looked a little old, looked at the handsome and energetic young son in front of him, feeling that he was old and proud that he had a successful successor, but when he thought of his eldest son who was still pestering him in the hospital bed, his heart felt uncontrollable pain.
"Father, what are you doing with me?" The indifferent young man did not sit down, but stood coldly in the hall looking at his father, his father's old and tired face and gray hair could not move his heart in the slightest, and the knot formed by the long-term grudge of childhood may not be dissolved in this life.
Looking at the stubborn appearance of the young man, Brundtland felt an indescribable emotion in his heart, how much the young man in front of him was like himself thirty years ago, wasn't he so unruly when he first entered the society, the faces of his friends and colleagues in the past were like a horse and a flower in front of Brundtland, maybe he was really old, and he became more and more nostalgic. It wasn't until the young man's cold gaze swept over him again that Brundtland woke up from his distraction.
"Frederick, I heard you're reorganizing the army in Manlon?" Brundtland calmed his emotions, he knew that this son of mine had always been like this, and that there was always an unpredictable heart hidden under the frozen exterior.
"Hmm. Frederick glanced at his father, and said no more.
"Frederick, I know you want to complete the transformation of the army as soon as possible, but I want to remind you that everything should be done gradually, and not in a hurry. Brundtland sighed in his heart and said gently.
"Oh, if you want to hurry, you can't do it, but when the Pasha soldiers come to the city, is it too late?" the young man's words always had a faint hint of mockery, even in front of his own father.
Brundtland was stunned, although he had long experienced the vitriolism of his son, but Brundtland was still almost choked by his words.
"Frederick, the reorganization of the army is important, but you also have to think about your father, the current domestic situation is not stable, those old things in the DPRK and China are still talking nonsense, everything must be stabilized!" Brundtland euphemistically expressed his wishes, Frederick dismissed several important generals with an iron fist, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among the old guards in the army, and they came to Brundtland to complain, which made Brundtland very embarrassed.
"Hey, it's Clement's gang jumping up and down there to confuse the crowd, right? Father, I suggest you ignore him and let them come to me directly, and I'll give them a satisfactory answer. The young man's originally indifferent face revealed a hint of a kind smile at this time, and his white teeth were also exposed.
However, Brundtland, who knew his son, couldn't help frowning, "Frederick, military affairs are important, but I hope you can also pay attention to some means, your rough style can easily arouse the dissatisfaction of your subordinates, although I entrust you to command the whole army, I want to see an army united in a fist and united to the outside world, not a group of stragglers with many contradictions and intrigues." ”
"Oh, Father, then I ask you to take back my power, Frederick is very grateful!" raised his head slightly, and a cold smile crossed the corner of the young man's mouth.
"You!, can you bear to let your brother who has not recovered from his injuries put on his robe again?" said Brundtland's voice, which was low and even hoarse.
Obviously, the young man was moved by his father's words, although he was not born to a mother, but the concern of his brother as a child occupied a very important position in the young man's young heart, compared to the father in front of him, the position of the elder brother was also much heavier, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, and the young man's face showed a sincere look, but it was fleeting, and he snorted softly, but he did not refute it.
"I know that you have your principles for doing things, but I only hope that you can be more thoughtful before making a decision, and there are many intensified contradictions that may be resolved by different means. Seeing that the young man was slightly moved, Brundtland no longer answered, and knew that he had moved him, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.
"Okay, I'll take notice. His tone was still cold, but Brundtland knew it was a rare performance.
"You don't have to worry too much about the rest, you have to be confident that your father has your back. Brundtland finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The young man did not reply again, and turned away, but when he reached the door, his steps were stunned.
"What else, Frederick?" asked Brundtland hurriedly.
"I've heard that the Komini had a very unpleasant quarrel with the Pasha in Liberty City, and I thought maybe this was an opportunity. After a moment's hesitation, Frederick turned around and said slowly.
"Hmm, what do you think?" Brundtland was overjoyed, as it seemed that his son was not as focused only on military affairs as he thought, but was also very attentive to the situation around him.
"Since they are fighting for their interests, we might as well intervene, the Komini have suffered a lot this time, and there is a lot of criticism in the country, and many people are very dissatisfied with their current policy, believing that they have acted as cannon fodder for the Pasa people for nothing, but have gained nothing, and have also deviated from the policy of balance of power diplomacy that they have pursued. Frederick replied with a blank face.
Brundtland didn't answer, he was waiting for the youth's next words.
"If we can take advantage of this time to unite the opposition in their own country, and perhaps we can break the alliance between the Komini and the Pasha, then our pressure on the west will be greatly reduced. Now that the Salween line has been redeployed, I dare not say that it is impregnable, but if the Pasha people want to break through at will, it is also a fantasy. As long as we can spare our hands, it is not impossible to recover Northern Luzon. The words of the youth were full of confidence.
"Oh, Frederick, do you want to recover Northern Luzon first?" "Recovering territory is certainly a good thing, but Brundtland misses the lost land in the south, which is desolate and backward, mixed with ethnic minorities, and a world of difference compared to the south.
"Father, the south is good, but the strength of the Pasha people has surpassed us a lot, and we can only talk about it later, but if Northern Luzon doesn't start sooner, it will be difficult for Li Wufeng's rule to be stable. Naturally, Frederick's thoughts were clear, but in addition to the practical difficulties, Frederick was more worried about the north.
The north is a flat river, and the central and southern Luzon are integrated, there is not much barrier in the middle, Li Wufeng is not small, he saw it in the last negotiations, he actually wants to take Manlong as the boundary, and his appetite is simply not small. On the other hand, Li Lane Wufeng's administrative measures in North Luzon can be described as hitting the nail on the head, all of them are exquisite strategies, and they are very popular in the local area, if you don't plan early, wait for three or five years, I am afraid that you have the ability to fight back, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain a firm foothold.
Of course, Frederick only hid these worries in his heart, and did not tell anyone, he knew that even if he said it to people now, it would be useless, it was better to reform the army in a down-to-earth manner, if he could successfully break the alliance between the Pasha and the Komini, or even form an alliance with the Komini, then the hope of recovering Northern Luzon would be much greater.
