The small conference room in a remote location is very elegantly decorated, and the jade screen inlaid with walnut wood looks white and flawless at a glance, but at a second glance, the dark lines on the surface are looming, and there seem to be clouds and mist slowly rising, just like a classic Tang-style splashed ink landscape, with a far-reaching artistic conception, which makes people look at it with a wide mind. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThis is a gift from the Gaoyue people of Northern Luzon, as the liberator of the territory, in order to thank Wufeng for treating the Gaoyue people equally, the Gaoyue people gave this piece of green jade from the depths of the Dahengduan Mountains to Wufeng after careful polishing, and Wufeng generously accepted this strange-shaped gift and placed it in the small meeting room in the Jiedu Embassy's mansion.

There weren't many people at the meeting, only five or six, but judging from the solemn atmosphere, it seemed that the topic of discussion was very important.

"On the way back to Qingyang from Guide, I have been wondering whether this expedition to Gerok, including our early control of Lulong Mansion and our military operations in the Western Regions, is it a bit blind, lacks overall planning, and lacks a long-term and stable strategic plan?"

Heavy words echoed in the conference room, everyone present was silently appreciating the words of the boss, this is obviously Wufeng's feelings, prepared, not a whim, the few things said in the middle are through Wufeng's own affirmation and implementation of large-scale military operations, if it is not Wufeng himself, I am afraid that no one dares to doubt.

"Expedition to Terok, the western front is okay, but the three divisions on the southern front have suffered heavy losses, the whole operation should be said to be not too successful, although the annihilation of part of the living forces of the Kamans, but the other party's vitality has not had much impact, once their domestic rebellion is quelled, they can come back south at any time. Lu Long's gains and losses have caused us to fall into passivity in the east, and the paralysis of the enemy is the main reason for Lu Long's loss, and I will take full responsibility. Wu Feng unhurriedly analyzed his military operations in the past six months since he returned to the northwest.

"On the issue of the Western Regions, from the tactical point of view, from the local point of view, from the point of view of simple military operations, our actions are quite successful, but from the strategic point of view, from the overall point of view, our situation in the west is not optimistic, the Loulan people have always refused to give in, the Gaochang country is wavering, the Kucha people are even the Bega people are now convinced and resentful, and the Luope people are waving their flags and shouting in the back, fortunately, Wusun has formed an alliance with us, and the recent performance of the Kuqa people is also friendly, otherwise our situation in the Western Regions will be even more severe. ”

There was silence in the conference room, and everyone was thinking about Wu Feng's slightly pessimistic analysis, waiting for the coach to finish his analysis and ask questions.

"Of course, some of the situations were improvised, and we were forced to deal with them, and we could not have anticipated the events that followed, but the reality now before us is that we do not have a long-term and feasible plan for how to achieve the goals we have set. Speaking of this, Wu Feng consciously paused.

Sure enough, as soon as Wu Feng's words came out, almost everyone's eyes were raised, and the goal they had set was profound, and at that moment, some people quietly exchanged excited glances with each other, and it seemed that the veil was about to be lifted.

With deep eyes, he glanced around at the expectant faces around him, and Wu Feng's face was calm as usual: "Maybe everyone is muttering in their hearts, what is our current goal, can we clearly put it forward?"

After pondering his words, Wu Feng showed a thoughtful look on his face: "Actually, this problem has also bothered me for a long time, and I am also a member of the party, the military and political envoy of the Northwest and the governor of North Luzon, it sounds quite similar, but everyone here knows the situation in our Northwest and North Luzon, the economic foundation is thin, the surrounding environment is complicated, and the so-called land of a hundred battles is probably like this." Now that the empire is in crisis, wars are raging on all sides, the Liberian countries in the north are looking at the empire, the Maqi Khans in the south are sharpening their swords, and the Japanese people in the east are watching, and there are Taiping cults supporting troops to confuse the people, and those in power within the empire are also in the same bed and dreaming, in this case, where should we go in the northwest?"

Wu Feng's words immediately caused a ripple in the room, how to position the northwest has always been a difficult point, as an imperial domain, it should naturally be the head of the empire, but in this case, it seems that the empire has been unable to control the situation, so how should the northwest determine its position?

Taking a deep breath, Wu Feng calmed his mind for a moment before saying: "No matter what, since the Northwest and Northern Luzon are vassals of the Empire, we should obey the orders of the Central Committee of the Empire, whether it is the Taiping Sect, the Kamans, or the Mache Khans, I will never allow them to become the masters of the Central Plains, this is my personal goal!"

Although there is no clear statement, everyone here without exception understands the meaning of the coach who sits in the middle of the top.

"The purpose of today's meeting is to determine the plan for the near future, a practical plan, I hope that everyone here can express their opinions and come up with their own views, now Ling Tianfang will introduce our situation first. Wu Feng briefly ended his speech.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you must have understood the recent situation, the siege of the southern part of Gerok has been resolved, it can be said that Merrington is under our control, we have reached an agreement with the Duchy of Gerok to garrison a division in Melington to prevent the threat of the Kamans, and the Duchy of Gerok has promised to pay five million Imperial Gold coins as our additional reward this time!" A smile crossed the corner of Ling Tian's mouth, this was probably what the political axe officials, especially Xiao Tang, were most willing to hear, but it was a pity that Xiao Tang and the others were not allowed to participate in this meeting.

"The situation in the Western Regions has basically stabilized, and Luzon and Comini have signed a military alliance and a non-aggression pact with us. It can be said that the situation on the Western Front is very good, and it should be able to be used for development for a long time. ”

"In the east, although we have lost the Lulong Mansion, the Partridge Pass is still in our hands, and the throat of the east out of the Guanxi is still firmly in our hands, and we can go east at any time. ”

"Of course, we also have some problems, the 3rd and 5th Divisions of the Northwest Army and the 3rd Infantry Division of Reading Power have suffered a lot of losses, and it will take time to recover, Lu Long has been lost, we have lost an excellent springboard to enter the Central Plains, the Western Regions have not been completely calmed down, and garrisons are still needed, and the threat from the northern countries still exists, which has restrained our great energy, and these problems need to be taken into account in the next plan. Ling Tianfang didn't have any extra words, and simply introduced the current situation to everyone present.

"Well, I would like to ask, both the Lady and the Lord Ling have already introduced the current situation, is our current direction east or west? Do we want to solve the hidden danger of Loulan or prepare to attack the Taiping Sect in the east, or do we first pull out the nail of Sun Yuanhui in the Ganlan Fortress? Speaking in a deep voice was Cui Wenxiu of the First Cavalry Division, who was undoubtedly the most qualified to speak among the generals present.

Cui Wenxiu's words asked the questions in the hearts of everyone present, and the coach has clearly expressed the appearance of taking action when he summoned everyone, but the current situation is chaotic, and where to start is a big question worth discussing.

"That's a good question, you need to eat one bite at a time, the road needs to be taken step by step, where do we start first, it is indeed a question worth discussing, Wenxiu, what do you think?" Wu Feng nodded in praise and motioned for the other party to continue to express his opinion.

Shaking his head slightly, Cui Wenxiu said: "The matter is big, Wenxiu doesn't dare to say anything, there is the shadow of the Luope people behind Loulan in the Western Regions, can he take it in one go? Although Sun Yuanhui, the Ganlan fortress, is the weakest, it is too close to Nuremberg, an important town in the south of the Xislo people, and the fortress is strong and difficult to attack, so how to take it is also a problem. The Taiping Sect in the east is in full swing, but their battle line is too long, but there are many flaws, depending on how the adults think about it. ”

Although the words were cautious, they still conveyed the intention of attacking eastward.

"Well, Wenxiu's words are very reasonable, and I don't know what else you think, but even if you put it forward, I hope that you can have a different opinion, and it is better to have a well-reasoned opinion. Wu Feng smiled and looked at the others.

"Lao Mu, Tianxiong, tell me what you think. Seeing that no one answered, Wu Feng had no choice but to order.

Seeing that his boss had already named him, Mu Lige touched the short beard under his chin and replied thoughtfully: " Master Cui has already said that Loulan and Ganlan Fortress are both troubles in our northwest, and it stands to reason that if we want to make a difference, it is the best policy to solve these two nails first, but the actual situation makes us have to temporarily abandon this plan, neither the Luope nor the Siathrow people will sit idly by and watch their so-called allies suffer from our attack, and once this war spreads, I am afraid it will contain and consume too much of our energy. Eastward expansion is the general trend, from Lulong in the north to Longdong to Xikang in the south, the front spreads for nearly a thousand miles, and it can become our attack point, how to operate depends on your meaning. ”

The old and heavy Mu Lige also spoke in all aspects, and he did not leak.

Wu Feng frowned a little dissatisfied, and was about to open his mouth, but Mu Lige continued: "However, Lu Long and Longdong are currently heavily guarded by the Taiping Army, only the defense of Xikang Mansion is relatively weak, but Xikang's territory is not small, but the population is small, and the economy is also the worst of the six prefectures in Kansai, and the geographical location is not very important, it is really a chicken rib, how much value can it be taken down?"

"Yes, marching into Kansai is the only way for us to get out of the northwest, and the Taiping Sect is also the first enemy we have to deal with, but the timing is always not so suitable. Song Tianxiong also took the initiative to interject, but his tone was extremely fierce, "Either we will spend some blood and storm Longdong Mansion City, cut off the connection between the Taiping Sect in Guanxi and their nest in the north, or we can open up the connection with the empire." ”

"Will this provoke a strong backlash from the Taiping people? If the Taiping armies in the north and south fight back desperately, the pressure on us will be too great. It was Sha Lang, the commander of the Second Division, who raised the question, and apparently he did not agree with this opinion.
