"Haha, Wang Liao, your vision should be long-term. Don't stick to the situation. In the short term, we still need Situ Biao's support, and we also need him to launch an offensive in the east to attract Situ Tai's attention. This can greatly reduce our pressure in the north. Cheng Dayou has been reluctant to make a clear statement. There is no news yet. I guess Wang Jiexiu's trip may not be able to achieve much effect. We cannot pin our hopes on one person. Since we gave him Yangguan, he is unwilling to leave, let him go to the single-plank bridge. I, Li Wufeng, never force others. I hope Situ Biao can achieve satisfactory results in Quanzhou, Jiujiang and Huzhou. If we do not give him enough support, how can he help consume some potential enemy's power?" Wu Feng waved his hand and smiled to meet Wang Liao's still dissatisfied gaze.

"Your Highness, but my subordinates think that we have made too much concessions. In some aspects, Wuhu's side could have made some compromises, but under our attitude, it became unwilling to make concessions. In this way, our efforts, especially fiscal expenditure, will increase a lot." Wang Liao was not moved by Wufeng's attitude. This is his temperament. Once the decision is decided, he will execute it without any discount. However, during the discussion, he would also put forward his own opinions without any hesitation. "For example, in terms of tariffs, since we are required to provide us with huge loan guarantees for Wuhu, we are unwilling to make concessions on the tariff rate. We only use tariffs as guarantees, and the interest is so low, I am afraid that James will jump to the feet and curse after going back. There are also too many restrictions on the waterway free navigation agreement, which has greatly restricted our waterway information in the Wuhu area. This has not only influenced us in industry and commerce, but also has disadvantages in military affairs."

"Well, in some aspects, everyone may think that we are too weak or make too many concessions. This is not surprising. It is not easy for you to achieve a win-win situation in terms of interests, especially in this context. Situ Biao also knows that we need him to help and support us. In fact, both of us know our own plans. Both sides will have a fight in the end, but everyone's mind is to use this short period of time to strengthen themselves as much as possible and gain more strength for themselves.

If you have one more point in the final battle, it is good to have such a deal that can reach this level. Besides, you can't expect anyone to obey this agreement word by word. At least I think Situ Biao can't do it completely. If it is too tight, it will only backfire." Wu Feng carefully said, "Let's say it here. As long as we really start a full war with Situ Tai, Situ Biao's fox tail will be revealed. The idea of ​​being a fisherman must have been in the depths of Situ Biao's heart for a long time."

Su Qin and Wang Liao were both silent. Jiangshan was originally fought from blood and fire. Negotiations were just a supplementary way to obtain benefits. There was never a way to achieve the goal just by saying a few words. It seems that His Highness Qin saw further than anyone else about this and had long been mentally prepared.

It seemed that my words were a bit empty. Wufeng paused again and said: "As for the loan issue given to Wuhu, although the amount is a little larger, we can make some restrictions on conditions and time, such as part of it must be used for non-military purposes, such as agriculture, infrastructure construction, etc. We can more flexibly grasp the time, such as how much is the first transaction, and how many times the second transaction will be loaned out after the first transaction, so that we can have enough room to observe Situ Biao's performance. If he performs poorly, we can completely suspend or even cancel the loan by his failure to fulfill his promise. This is equivalent to a rope strangling his throat. Although he cannot control his life and death, once he has the first transaction, he will be particularly uncomfortable to get the second transaction."

Wufeng's words once again allowed the two diplomats to see the viciousness of their boss's methods. In this way, if one side of Wuhu wants to obtain a full loan, it must act according to its own side's ideas, at least not be too out of line in its actions.

"Sir, do you mean that you plan to have a quarrel with Situ Tai's side in the near future?"

This problem has actually been entangled in Su Qin's mind for a long time. Now the situation in the imperial capital has gradually become clearer. Although Situ Yuan is about to ascend the throne, in fact, Situ Yuan can only reach Situ Lang's level to the maximum extent. Especially after Situ Tai's First Army's First Division entered the imperial capital and essentially controlled the North Gate, this phenomenon became more and more obvious. A large number of veteran nobles gradually depended on Situ Tai's disciples. Although the matter of selling the country and seeking honor has a great impact on Situ Tai's reputation, after all, Situ Tai failed to ascend the throne. Even though he had some unclear promises, he no longer had no idea.

It can become a heavy weapon to attack him. Moreover, public opinion was also influenced by the old nobles, and gradually changed the statement, and there were fewer people who were entangled with Situ Tai's various actions. In this case, if Situ Yuan wanted to compete with Situ Tai, who was increasingly exerting great influence, he had to rely more and more on the Western Xinjiang and Wuhu Lakes, especially the military rectification that would be carried out after ascending the throne was a fire that could trigger an explosion at any time. In this case, choosing to break up with Situ Tai seemed to have a better excuse, at least in the sense of justice, would not be attacked.

"Well, now the political situation of the imperial capital seems to have entered a dead end. The huge military institutions have made the imperial finances breathless, but these armies are not in the hands of the central government of the empire, and may become a major concern at any time. Do you think Situ Yuan will be willing? The information Situ Yuan informed us also reveals that he has a great ambition and seems to be unwilling to be such a controlled emperor and reduce the army. What is the purpose? Maybe it is to build an army that is loyal to him." Wufeng seemed to have not made a final decision on this issue, "Of course Situ Tai would not agree to him do so,

With the help and support of the elders and noble families of the imperial capital, Situ Tai has now penetrated very well into the Third Eighth Ninth Legion of the Empire, especially the Third Legion. At least three division commanders have sworn allegiance to him, and there is information that Yusufu has been hooked up with Situ Tai again. In this way, although not powerful military forces in the imperial capital seem to be leaning towards Situ Tai, he will definitely use his influence to block this plan. Once the stalemate cannot be reached, it may be time for us to draw our swords and help the Emperor to stab the field."

"Your Highness has considered whether we intervene in this war, what should we do with Luzon? The military forces on both sides of the line are taboo, and the combined force we currently have is not very sufficient. This will easily drag our hands and feet and restrain our actions." Su Qin asked back.

Yes, although the situation in the imperial capital is becoming clearer, the battle situation in Luzon has been confusing and confused. Frederick's abnormal behavior makes Wufeng a little confused. If Frederick really waits with the Cominean coalition forces until the Luobei invades, his current arrangement will seem a bit thin, but his intuition tells Wufeng that there seems to be something strange in the middle. Judging from the current mobilization speed of the Luzon and the Comineans, Frederick has at least

Let the Cominians act as a suicide squad to consume the power of the Western Xinjiang side. Perhaps he wanted to wait until the Cominians were in a deadlock between the Shuangdui line in the west and the Western Xinjiang side before taking action, or wait until the Luobei army set foot on the East Tengger grassland before carrying out a thunder strike? It seems possible, but it doesn't seem to be very similar. Even Wufeng regretted that he let Frederick go when he met. If he had killed him at that time, at least he would not have such a headache now.

The problem before Wufeng is that once a large-scale fire with Situ Tai, Luzon will inevitably be unable to draw more troops to reinforce. Once an emergency occurs beyond his expectations and control range, can his emergency reserve team meet the needs? But let Wufeng put one or two legions as reserve teams to waste Wufeng and feel unwilling to accept it, especially when the conditions for seizing the initiative of the Central Plains are becoming more and more mature, you cannot be distracted at will. According to Wufeng's idea, at least two main army corps should be maintained on the front line of Heshuo Beiyuan.

To drag onto the battlefield to fight a big battle, at least two or three cavalry teams must be supported to deal with the Situ Tai army, which is not weaker than its own. The Gerok Legion now seems to be under a lot of pressure, but the long border line from Yinchuan to Yulin has five prefectures and counties, more than a thousand miles, and there are still a Jiayuguan. There are quite a few six divisions. If you really invest in it, you can only have one division. Fortunately, there are still tens of thousands of Gerok National Defense Forces to use, otherwise even Wufeng himself would feel a little fragile in this thin defense line.

Seeing Wufeng remained silent for a moment, Su Qin was tactful and no longer said in depth that it was difficult to separate the two lines of the east and west. At present, the Eastern Front should be more important, but in fact, the Western Front is more serious. However, if you concentrate your main forces on the Western Front, you may miss the great opportunity of the Eastern Front. This dilemma has never been well balanced since Wufeng stood in the northwest to enter Northern Luzon. The same is true now. If you want to make the right choice, you can only act randomly and make a temporary decision according to the changing situation.
