In Nanfeng Mansion, the capital of Tiannan County of the Empire, in the small but very compact Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, a thin back figure was standing in a study with a rather elegant environment, facing the blue sky outside the window and pondering, "My lord, everyone has arrived, and you are on it." "Well, got it. ”——

When they came to the council hall, there were already seven or eight people in the room, and when they saw the middle-aged man walk in, everyone stood up, "See your lord." "It's all old brothers, don't be so polite. Waving his hand, everyone sat down in turn, and seeing that their sons and daughters had not arrived, Lang Yongquan wrinkled his forehead and asked the personal guard next to him, "Where did the eldest prince and the second lady go?" The guard hurriedly replied: "The eldest prince said that he had something to do, so he didn't participate, and the second young lady went hunting in the suburbs with the people in the house early in the morning, and he was probably back soon." Snorted, Lang Yongquan no longer squeaked, but sighed secretly in his heart, the ancients said that giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, and now some people say that giving birth to a daughter should be like Lin Yuexin, but his own son and daughter, the son is good at everything, but he just doesn't like to be in politics, and loves to study medicine, and wants to become a famous doctor in the world, no matter how much he persuades, he can't listen to it, maybe it's because he hasn't grown up yet, his wife also persuaded himself to wait for him to be older, and then say, his daughter is sixteen years old, and she is like a little girl, practicing martial arts all day long, and when she has time, she either goes out to hunt, or goes to the martial arts training ground to find someone to try kung fu, The martial arts masters of the five mansions of Tiannan were tortured by this girl and were about to come to the door to ask for mercy-

Seeing that Lang Yongquan was a little distracted, everyone knew that his boss was worried about his children's affairs again, his boss had encountered anything for more than ten years, he was a look of Mount Tai and did not change color, but there was nothing he could do about his own children, everyone felt that he was a little too hasty, he himself was in the prime of life, his son was only twenty years old, and there was still a long time, why bother to let the eldest son intervene in complex government affairs now-

Soon noticed that he was distracted, smiled bitterly, and returned to normal, signaling his chief staff Yang Mubai, who was presiding over the meeting, to start the meeting. "I would like to invite you to come back today and convene a meeting, the main topic of which is to make an analysis of the current increasingly complex international and domestic situation, and also to ask you to express your own views, and at the same time to determine the general direction of our next action. "Yang Mubai is a middle-aged man about forty years old, he has been following Lang Yongquan for more than ten years, and he has always been Lang Yongquan's right-hand man.

The people who attended the meeting included Xie Changyang, deputy commander of the Tiannan Army (the head of the corps was concurrently served by Lang Yongquan himself), the city guard of the five prefectures of Tiannan, the city guard of the capital Nanfeng Mansion, the city guard of Guining Mansion Collins, the city guard of Dandong Mansion MacPherson, the city guard of Qinzhou Mansion Liu Qingtian, the city guard of Zhujiang Prefecture Qi Feng, the director of the Tiannan County Intelligence Bureau Jiang Zhendong, the director of the Tiannan County Finance Bureau Ma Boping, and the director of the Tiannan County Internal Affairs Bureau Bayan, all of whom were Lang Yongquan's henchmen who pulled up single-handedly -

"According to the intelligence, the war situation in the north of the empire has stabilized, after the empire won the battle of Qingyang, in fact, the threat of the Luope people has been eliminated for now, and the war situation in the Principality of Gerok due to the change of the situation, it is estimated that Kaman will soon change the current offensive posture to a defensive posture, in the south due to the visit of the Imperial Deputy Foreign Minister to the Maqi Khan, the relationship between the two countries has undergone a surprising change, the latest intelligence shows that since the day before yesterday, the elite troops of the Maqi Khanate, the first mixed corps has begun to withdraw from the border with the empire, and other corps originally stationed in the border with the empire have also begun to withdrawIt seems that the relationship is really going to be improved, and it remains to be seen whether this will be good or bad for us. There was no surprise in the actions of the Sanjiang Lin family, but they had stepped up the training of their Second Army Corps and the reorganization of the garrison divisions of various prefectures, and there was another question that was a little suspicious," Speaking of this, Yang Mubai glanced at Lang Yongquan, who was sitting at the head of the house, and paused, as if he was asking Lang Yongquan's opinion-

"Say, it's all my own people here, it's nothing. Lang Yongquan interjected expressionlessly-

According to the reflection and analysis of the insider, it should be the Mao people in Guining Mansion and the Shahe people in Dandong Mansion who are in secret contact with the Lin family, which is worthy of our high vigilance. Yang Mubai's words immediately aroused a stir among everyone present, especially the strong indignation of Collins, the city guard of Guining Mansion and MacPherson, the city guard of Dandong Mansion-

Since the establishment of the empire, the Mao and Shahe ethnic minorities have sometimes adopted a policy of appeasement and sometimes a high-pressure policy for ethnic minorities, so the relationship with the ethnic minorities in the southwest has not been very good, since Lang Yongquan took charge of the military and political power of Tiannan County, he has adopted a policy of combining division and disintegration and high pressure, and has achieved certain results, but the two largest ethnic minorities of the Mao and Shahe have not yielded, and have taken a perfunctory attitude towards the Lang family, and Lang Yongquan has always taken them without a good way, which has always been a hidden worry in Lang Yongquan's heart, but he did not expect the Lin family to hook up with them——

"This Lin Guoxiong is really vicious enough, on the one hand, he sent people to say that he wanted to have a good relationship with us, but on the other hand, he secretly resorted to this method. MacPherson was so angry that he cursed, and Collins, though he was also very angry, was much more restrained—

"In addition, the Qingyang City Guard of the Northwest County has been served by Li Wufeng, the commander of the Fourth Wing of the Third Division of the Imperial City Guard Corps in the defense of Qingyang, and we don't have any information about him at present, so I'm afraid we have to make relevant arrangements immediately. That is the case, and I would like to invite you to share your views and observations on the current form. Yang Mubai finished the report while sorting out the information in his hand-

"Everyone can speak freely, and if you have any questions, you can also put them up for discussion. Lang Yongquan looked very relaxed, as if he was not worried about the current situation at all-

"My lord, do we have a way to deal with this despicable method of the Lin family?" MacPherson, who was in a hurry, asked first-

"Yes, we can't ignore their provocations. The personable Collins also chimed in—

"I have my own opinion. Lang Yongquan replied calmly-

"My lord, what is the purpose of Maqi Khan's sudden improvement of relations with the empire, it is worth our attention. "The Minister of the Interior, Bayan, also put forward his own views -

"I am afraid that we should also pay enough attention to the changes in the situation in the northwest region, and the impact on our surrounding areas will also involve our own security situation. "Yu Ren, who has always been known for his steadiness, is very concerned about the changes in the situation in the northwest region-

After listening to the speeches of his subordinates, Lang Yongquan made a final summary. "The Lin family's methods are not surprising, if they don't have them, it would be surprising. I judged that their purpose at that time was to keep our manager in the heat of the negotiation and to leave us with no time to do anything else. But now things are easy to change, and their idea of trying to go west may have become a moon in the water, and it is a good thing for us, it is better to expose the problem earlier than later, if there is really a mess at a critical moment, it is really difficult to deal with, and it is much easier to deal with it now. Of course, if you don't come to be rude, let's use the way of others to return their bodies, Zhendong, contact the people of the Guishan clan, the Li Tatar tribe, and the Niudang clan in the Lin family's territory who were originally in contact with us, he is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust, and see who has the last laugh when the time comes. ”——

Taking a sip of tea, "As for the improvement of relations between the Macedian Khanate and the Empire, we don't see what impact it will have on us at present, and we will pay close attention to it for the time being, so as not to respond to all changes." In the northwest region, you have to send someone to understand the situation immediately, well, it is best to send someone to Qingyang to congratulate that Li Wufeng as the city guard, and there is no harm in contacting him by the way. I have heard that the public order situation there is quite chaotic, and it is necessary to send people to thoroughly understand the existence of forces in the local area, so that they can win all battles by knowing themselves and their opponents. Finally, the formation of our Second Army Corps must be stepped up, we have fallen behind the Lin family, and we should pay close attention to it. The training and reorganization of the garrison divisions and regiments in all provinces must not be slackened, and the financial departments must give priority to ensuring the funds. ”——

Seeing that his coach had a plan for the future situation, everyone who was a little worried regained their confidence -

After everyone left, Lang Yongquan returned to the study, stood in front of the window with a teacup, looked at the distant sky, and muttered to himself: "The world is like a chess game, it's really exciting." ”——

After listening to the report of the intelligence department, Prime Minister Gomez fell into a long period of thought, and the reporter did not dare to disturb his thoughts, so he stood quietly and waited, and after a long time, Gomez spit out a sentence, as if asking the reporter, and telling himself, "So, the threat of the Tanghe people has been lifted," and then fell into deep thought. The next day, the fast horse galloped to the Kaman army stationed under the city of Jiama and the city of Vanlin, and brought the latest order of Prime Minister Gomez, ordering the plan to go south to be cancelled, the Duke of Miley led an army of 100,000 to garrison the city of Jiama to strengthen the defense, 50,000 royal guards were about to return home, and the army of nearly 200,000 led by Duke Nick under the city of Vanlin also retreated to garrison near the border line. At the same time, many spies were also ordered to set off to Zhongzhou and Qingyang, the capital of the Tang River Empire, to collect various information about Li Wufeng together with the local Kaman Empire's intelligence organization-

In Merrington, the capital of the Principality of Gerook, in the palace hall, Grand Duke Allen sat on the throne and listened attentively to the report of the Minister of War, Duke Ramon, "At present, except for the army stationed in Jiama City, the other armies of the Kaman Empire have withdrawn from our territory, and the Second Army of the City Guard Corps of the Tang River Empire has been stationed at the junction with our country, ready to meet our army, and the fourth division has also been stationed in the southwest of us to respond to us. ”——

"In this way, the Tang River Empire's Qingyang Defense Battle has been completely victorious, and the Kaman people saw that the situation was not right and withdrew their troops, but now they are still occupying our Jiama City, this needs to negotiate with the Tang River Empire, ask them to give their support, and find a way to help us recover Jiama City, I believe they don't want to see the Kaman people occupy Jiama City for a long time, that is also a threat to them. Grand Duke Allen said with confidence, "Prepare two other generous gifts, one for General Fielding of Taixuan Mansion to ask him to give us more support, and the other for Marquis Li Wufeng of Qingyang Mansion to congratulate him on defeating the Luobei people and being promoted to the city guard of Qingyang Mansion." ”——

Duke Lanmeng nodded in agreement, but he didn't think so, although the Tang River Empire is now through the difficulties, but it is not realistic to send troops to help Gerlok recover Jiama City in a short period of time, but the siege of Gerlok has just been lifted, and the Grand Duke has just breathed a sigh of relief, and he is on the rise, and he is not good at pouring cold water, so he has to accept it.
