Because the main force of the Southern Military Region of the Empire seriously exposed its weaknesses of low combat effectiveness and insufficient preparation, it suffered repeated setbacks in the conflict with the Machikhanate army. These situations were disclosed by the two largest media in the imperial capital, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people of the Empire.

The Empire News published a large commentary on the front page of the front page on December 29, entitled "What's wrong with the Imperial Army?", while the Daily Express published the Southern Front Wars in its supplement for several consecutive days, and asked experts to conduct detailed analysis of the adverse situation of the war, which aroused great interest from people from all walks of life in the Empire, making the sales of the supplement surpass the main magazine for the first time.

In a rage, the imperial emperor Situ Mingyue replaced the positions of Duke of the Empire, Chen Xiangnan, the commander of the Southern Military Region Command, and the commander of the two legions of the Fifth and Sixth Legions, and deprived the three of them of noble status and sent the three to the military court for trial. The family members of the three were sent to the border, and the women were confiscated as slaves.

While the eastern front was stabilized, the diplomatic missions of the Maqi Khan also frequently visited the west-neighboring Grand Duchy of Mahad and Andako, as well as the South-Sea Alliance countries in the south, intending to stabilize the increasingly severe diplomatic situation. In the secret, some people with special tasks traveled secretly in the empire Tiannan County and Sanjiang County, and the mission they shouldered was even less known.

The diplomatic missions of the Tanghe Empire also began to visit the Nanyang Alliance and the Kingdom of Milan, and invited the foreign ministers of the Grand Duchy of Mahad and the Duchy of Andako to visit the empire. At the same time, the Independent First Infantry Division, the Independent Second Mixed Division, and the Independent Third Cavalry Division also began to move westward to assemble and prepare to enter the southern battlefield of Wuhu County. In addition, the Fourth Legion of the Western Military Region also began to mobilize wars and prepare to march southward.

A war seems inevitable.

Wufeng, who is far away in the Central Continent, is still ignorant of all these changes. He is immersed in the magnificent mountains and rivers near the green sea swamp and the passionate enthusiasm of the girls, and is happy to leave Shu.

After receiving information from the imperial capital Guji and Wuhu County, Xiao Tang in Qingyang immediately noticed the changes in the situation and did not dare to delay. He immediately sent a quick horse to report to Wufeng, who was still in Northern Luzon, in an expedited manner, asking Wufeng and Ling Tian to return to the northwest quickly to discuss countermeasures.

Ling Tian, ​​who was in charge of Shuangduiji, felt the matter was serious after receiving the information from Xiao Tang, and did not dare to ignore it at all. He sent people to Wufeng's place, which was still in the green sea swamp overnight, and asked Wufeng to end the trip immediately and return to the northwest immediately. The affairs of Northern Luzon could be handed over to Mu Haoran and Luman for full handling.

Wufeng's trip to the green sea swamp made a lot of gains. Not only did he win the feelings of five ethnic minorities, but he also inspected the situation of the territory in the west. Among the five ethnic groups, the Shatu tribe, located in the westernmost bordering the Indian Kingdom, also reflected the hidden worries of their own ethnic existence to Wufeng.

It turns out that because the five tribes have a small population, especially the Shatu tribe located at the border, with a population of only more than 30,000, they lack the necessary military power. The neighboring Indian Kingdom is an alliance of dozens of tribes of different sizes. The Banzha tribe, a tribe close to the Shatu tribe's residence, is relatively powerful. Although it is not strong in the entire Indian Kingdom, it is too powerful compared to the weak five tribes next to it. Under the instigation and instigation of the nobles of this tribe, the armed forces of the tribe have been harassed by the five tribes in recent years. Sometimes, they pretend to be horse thieves and bandits and rush into the territory of the five tribes to loot, sometimes using the excuse to suppress bandits and cross the border and enter the settlement of the five tribes to blackmail, and sometimes they simply openly demand that the five tribes pay a certain amount of protection money to ensure the safety of the people of the five tribes. All of these have become more and more intense in recent years.

For this reason, the five tribes also reported complaints to the generals and officials of Vito City, the ruler of Vito City, who were shirked by Vito City on the grounds that they had a long journey and had a lot of affairs. Their responses to the central government of the Grand Duchy of Luzon were like rocks sinking into the sea and no news. The five tribes had given up at this point and had to endure bullying from evil neighbors. As long as they were within the scope of their tolerance, they tried to swallow their anger. During this period, there were several conflicts that broke out because the other party was too excessive. Although they all ended in the failure of the five tribes, the Banzha tribe also allowed the five tribes to see the endurance limits of the five tribes, so they no longer forced each other too much.

After learning that Wufeng had taken actual control of Northern Luzon, the five tribes unanimously agreed that this was an excellent opportunity. Because Wufeng's military achievements and prestigious reputation had long been so famous that the Tenggeri grasslands, and the arrogant Luo Beiren was beaten to flee three times by the army led by Wufeng. However, it was this Luo Beiren who fled in shame with his tail in front of Wufeng that repeatedly destroyed the coalition forces of the Indian Dean Kingdom, and even captured the noble generals of the Indian Dean tribes many times, forcing the Indian Dean Kingdom to accept the request of paying huge tributes to the Luo Beiren every year.

If Wufeng can be used as a backing, no matter how brave the Indians are, they will not dare to easily solve Wufeng's tiger beard, then the troubles that have troubled the five clans for many years can be solved. Therefore, the five clans jointly requested Wufeng to inspect the territories of various clans and actively contacted Wufeng's important officials. Wufeng, Ling Tianfang and Luman also had some understanding of these situations, but because these matters were originally a matter of duty, they agreed with the flow.

After inspecting the territories of various ethnic groups, Wufeng promised to establish checkpoints and dispatch troops at the border leading to the Indian and German kingdom. On the one hand, it can protect merchants and travelers and inspect suspicious people. On the other hand, it can deter those restless Indian and German people and play a role in defending the national border.

In order to welcome Wufeng's inspection, the five clans also did their best to welcome them, and selected the most beautiful girls in their respective clans to form a welcome team. They also welcomed the guards who accompanied Wufeng, making a group of officers who were not gentle. However, Wufeng's strict military discipline made these officers not confused, but they were just addicted to their eyes.

However, Wufeng entered the ocean of red and pink, with warm hands and eyes, and enjoyed all his blessings. It was not until Ling Tianfang's urgent report that he woke Wufeng up from the gentle country, and hurriedly brought the wishes offered by the five tribes on behalf of the Danhai clan - two twin stunning Danhai girls who had just turned fourteen, returned to Shuangdui City.

At Shuangduiji, Wufeng made a simple arrangement. Liang Chongxin temporarily led the First Division of the Northwest Legion to stay to help Helianbo and Linghu Yi complete the establishment and basic training of the Shuangdui Security Division as soon as possible. At the same time, he promoted Qu Bo, the former Director of the Logistics Department of the First Division, as the deputy division commander of the First Division, and he and Ling Tianfang led the Guards and the Third Division quickly embarked on their return journey.

In a deep courtyard in Hanzhong Prefecture City, Guanxi County, the empire was already dark, and the entire courtyard seemed to be uninhabited, but if you observe carefully, you can find that there are people hiding in ambush in every corner, silently waiting on your post.

A few candles were lit in the main room hall. The flames were not dazzling, and the whole hall still seemed a little dark. However, as long as you are serious and large, you can see that there are already several people in the hall, but the hall is silent, and everything seems so quiet.

Sitting in the middle was a middle-aged scholar with a shirtless shirt. His clear and energetic face seemed erratic under the light, and a casual Taoist bun on his head added a sense of elegance, especially his deep eyes, which flashed in the dim candlelight, adding a bit of mystery.

"Master, everyone has arrived." A middle-aged man in brown clothes said respectfully.

"Well, since everyone has arrived, everyone will tell you the situation." The middle-aged scholar in Mai glanced around and his power was shining. The people on both sides felt a shock, as if the eyes pierced into the depths of his heart, and all his secrets were revealed by him.

"Master Feng, let's talk first." The man in brown clothes behind the middle-aged scholar in Mai looked at the first person in his left hand.

"Okay, the Grandmaster is here, and we Guanxi disciples are very honored. I, Lao Feng, will report to the Grandmaster about the development of our Guanxi Tower over the past year. So far, we have developed nearly 100,000 congregations, of which about 20,000 loyal congregations. The Hanzhong Branch has developed the fastest this year, now it has 30,000 congregations and 6,000 backbones; the Longdong Branch is also relatively fast, with 218,000 congregations and 2,500 backbones. Last year, there were only 14,000 and 2,000 respectively; Xikang Branch and Jincheng Branch have also made great progress, and these two branches have also formed a large-scale secret armed force. We have reported this situation specifically to the General Assembly in the middle of the year."

"Bashan Branch has secretly established a training base in the Motianling area deep in Daba Mountains, and a material storage base near Zhaiyue Peak. Now the training base has begun to be opened. The armed congregation of Xikang Branch has begun to receive training there in stages and batches. Only Lujiang Branch has changed the city guard this year. The current city guard Fang Xianling has taken various measures to suppress our congregation and restrict the activities of our congregation. In August, he also mobilized the security forces to arrest more than 30 of our congregation on the grounds that our core congregation Zhu Wuneng gathered to cause trouble and privately harbored a large number of weapons. Among them, Zhu Wuneng, Zhu Wucheng and Zhao Decai were killed as a court stick. Nine of the remaining thirty people were asked to be killed by Qiu Hou. The remaining people and their relatives were all sent to the border to Kamchatka Island." Speaking of this, the originally high-spirited Master Feng could not help but be overshadowed.

"Oh? Where did this room look old?" The scribe in Ma's clothes looked like a flowing hand, but he still didn't say anything. The man in brown clothes behind him asked.

"He Hui Shao Shi, this person is from Jinling, Donghai County, the Empire. He graduated from Imperial University. Later, he served as a minor official in the Imperial Administration. He was transferred to Hejian Prefecture, Heshuo County in 686. He served as deputy director, director of the Hejian Prefecture Office, and director of the Hejian Prefecture Office. Since January 694, he has served as the guardian of Lujiang Prefecture, Guanxi County." The middle-aged man in brocade clothes, standing beside Feng Tanzhu bowed and bowed and replied.

"Why does this person hate my congregation so much? What is the reason here?" The man in brown-clothed, known as the "Grand Master" standing behind Mai's scribe, looked a little solemn and asked slowly.

"When we are in charge of the situation, when this person was the Director of the Interior Affairs Office in Hejian Prefecture, he cruelly massacred and suppressed our congregations in Hejian Prefecture on the grounds that they were deceived by the people by making a fuss about the people's money, and also adopted methods such as joint seats to prevent our congregations' activities. We have verified this situation with Heshuotan, and it is indeed true." The man in the brocade costume quickly answered.

"Have you ever used other methods to contact him?" The man in brown face looked cold and solemn.

"After returning to the eldest young master, we took various measures to get in touch with him as soon as he took office, but this person was not good at ease, and his words and actions were not leaked, which was quite difficult to deal with. But at that time we did not expect that this person would be vicious. This is our fault. Please punish the Grand Master and the Grand Young Master." Feng Tanzhu also came forward to defend his subordinates.

"Okay, Wenzhe, there is no need to over-exploration of this matter. This person must have had a deep prejudice against me, and no matter how much energy it takes, it may be difficult to change. We can find ways from other aspects." The scholar Maiyi, who had not made a sound, finally opened his mouth, and his low voice had an indescribable charm.
