Section 22 Hand in Hand
But you must grasp a certain degree. The caravans in Northern Luzon must not be moved. If Li Wufeng finds an excuse to provoke trouble, it will be more than worth it. However, the people in the Green Sea Swamp can consider it, but will it anger the other party? I heard that the bunch of turtles have also formed a self-defense force. I wonder how strong the combat power is?
Seeing that the old man's fat face was gloomy and sunny, the young man dared not speak out and waited patiently for his uncle's choice.
"Where did this news come from?" the old man asked suddenly.
The young man was stunned and immediately replied: "This news is absolutely reliable."
"Stop talking, I'll ask you where the news came from?" The old man stared at the young man's face, which seemed a little overly drunk.
Seeing that I could not hide this uncle who knew him well, the young man grinned a little embarrassedly, and then said, "Uncle, this is the news I got from the Shachelli brothers. They have reliable people there, but their strength is not enough, so they have to invite us ````````"
"Hmph! If you want to die, go! Don't think that people are unscrupulous without reaction. You may not know that someone has put on a condom!" The old man's face was gloomy, and he slowly raised his head to look up at the magnificent roof, as if he was thinking about something.
"No, you're too worried. Uncle, there is a servant woman in the Shachel family who has close contact with people from the other clan and is already talking about marriage. This is what they finally found out from the woman's mouth." The young man hurriedly revealed the source of the clue.
"Lavar, you are not young anymore. The next generation of the Dela family is counting on you. Uncle is old and all this will be yours in the future. You should avoid being surrounded by those guys in the future. Doing more serious things is the right way." The old man seemed to have not heard the young man's words and said expressionlessly.
"Uncle!" said the young man anxiously.
"Enough! You go down first!" A hint of anger flashed across the old man's face, and his dim old eyes suddenly became sharp.
The young man wanted to defend himself, but when he saw the old man's face, he finally bowed and retreated.
The room was silent for a moment, and an exquisite velvet tapestry was gently lifted up in the corner of the wall, and a hunched old man walked out. His thin figure looked like the wind could blow him down, but the eyes that suddenly appeared on his wrinkled face made people dare not underestimate it.
"Master." The old hunchbacked man bowed slightly.
"Well, you heard it just now, what do you think?" The fat old man didn't go around the circle and went straight to the topic.
"It depends on your thoughts, lord." The hunchbacked old man hunched down.
"How do you say it?" The fat old man remained silent.
"The five tribes of Green Sea Swamp have always claimed that they are under the jurisdiction of Northern Luzon, and Li Wufeng also submitted a letter of negotiation to the Chief. Although the Chief did not recognize their jurisdiction over the Five tribes, he was unwilling to break up with the other party because of this matter, so he kept making excuses. At present, fortresses have been built on the border areas, which is obviously necessary to clarify the ownership of the surrounding areas and ethnic groups. If we take action, it is very likely to provoke a conflict between the two sides." The hunchbacked old man replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Do you disagree with it in your opinion?" The fat old man looked like he wanted to say something, but he endured it again.
"Not necessarily. The master is a little bit difficult. The old servant knows a little about what Master Laval said just now. There are also some truths. There are many people in the clan who are dissatisfied with the master, especially in recent times, we have not had any additional income, and even the chief is a little unhappy. If this continues, your status will also be affected. In addition, the people below do not think that in the long run, they only know that their lives are not as good as before. If this continues, the master's control over them will be weakened." The hunchbacked old man answered slowly.
"Oh? But as you said just now, Li Wufeng is not easy to mess with. Once a conflict arises, he will give someone a handle. At that time, no one will speak for us." The fat old man was silent for a long time before he spoke a few words.
"It depends on how to operate it. According to our news, there are many rare treasures for the five tribes of Green Sea Swamp. I heard that one of the cloud clams produced in the depths of the swamp was also caught. This is a rare item that has never been seen in recent decades. I heard that the chief has been eager for the play. If he could tell the chief, the risk of this matter would be half smaller. In addition, although Li Wufeng attaches great importance to the five tribes of Green Sea, he is not willing to break up with us because of them. He has also been the last few times.
He just sent a letter of negotiation, and there was no other excessive move. The old slave also received news. It seemed that the Tanghe people's territory was not peaceful. Li Wufeng was having a very unhappy relationship with Kaman and the Sisro people in the north. I guess he should not have too much energy to take care of our affairs now. It would be a big deal to take ten thousand steps. Let's accompany you. At most, it would be a bit hurt. It has nothing to do with the overall situation. I don't know that they will not make a big fight at this time." The hunchbacked old man pulled his back step by step, analyzing the gains and losses of his actions.
The hunchbacked old man's words are reasonable and well-founded, and it is indeed very attractive. The obese old man's heart was moved, but he was cautious by nature and still did not make a conclusion: "Well, there is some reason, but we cannot be overly optimistic. Li Wufeng is different from ordinary people. He never plays according to common sense. I think it's better to be careful and let someone touch it. Anyway, there is still plenty of time. Also, let's learn about the situation of their self-defense force. Since the two brothers Shachelins have also got involved, then count their family. Everyone has good luck and of course everyone has to bear the risks together."
After saying that, even the hunchbacked old man who had been expressionless could not help but nodded. Jiang is so hot, and his master's mind is really different. It is not an exaggeration to say that it will not leak out.
When the fat old man's bloated body disappeared outside the living room, the tall and thin young man who had been hiding in the distance rushed over quickly, "How is it, Garna, does my uncle agree?"
"Young Master, don't be too impatient. The master has his own ideas. But seeing this situation, I probably have to consider it before you can decide." A trace of invisible smile flashed in the hunchbacked old man's eyes, and he persuaded with a pleasant face.
"Hey, my uncle is so confused. The older I get, the more timid I get. If this continues, our Dela family will sooner or later fall." The young man was a little depressed, with a blue face but a little unwilling.
"Young Master, don't be too disappointed. From the old slave, it's a good thing to be cautious. Things must be calculated completely before you can do it. You can wait patiently." The hunchbacked old man smiled.
"I have to do this." The young man nodded and turned away, "I have to ask Garnaberdo to worry."
"Young Master is so serious. As a servant of the Dera family, Garna will naturally do his best." The hunchbacked old man bowed slightly and replied respectfully.
The young man turned around with satisfaction, but did not notice a chilling and gloomy smile on the dry face of the old man behind him.
In order to avoid the impact, the review of the combat effectiveness of the Guard Division was very low-key. The review site was placed on the western plain of Qingyang, about 100 miles away from the border of Gaochang, the Western Regions. According to Wufeng's instructions and in accordance with the standard of not being insignificant than being indiscriminate, although Xiao Tang had given a green light on the funding for the formation of this army, Song Tianxiong kept in mind Wufeng's instructions and was even stricter in the selection of troops. So far, only four regiments have been built. The infantry was light and selected from the Gaoyue clan and experienced veterans, while the cavalry had higher requirements. Many veterans who had originally been in Wufeng's Guards were unable to enter the cavalry corps, because here, the requirements for cavalry were discouraged by many people.
After reviewing the mixed horse-station coordination exercises of the Guard Division, Wufeng was very satisfied with Song Tianxiong's training. He was able to train a unit like this in more than half a year. Wufeng felt deeply that he had not chosen the wrong person. The soldiers of the Guard Division were originally the essence of Wufeng's command. They were outstanding under Wufeng's command, whether in individual combat or group combat. After the expansion, Song Tianxiong did not relax. He knew that a division and a corps were completely different concepts, and it was not that some soldiers could reach the same level by retraining them, especially two separate cavalry corpses were added. There were still many difficulties and problems that needed to be solved. Fortunately, he himself was fully prepared. In addition to the combat readiness department providing it with the most excellent equipment and facilities, hard training and strict management were the most important factors in creating this steel division.
In addition to Xiao Tang and the newly appointed director of the War Preparation Administration, the guard division, accompanied by Wu Feng, also his fiancée, the seventeenth princess of the Empire. Originally, Wu Feng had no intention of letting him, the so-called fiancée, participate in these activities. Situ Yutang's actions have aroused Wu Feng's slight warning, but Xiao Tang believed that considering his relationship with the Central Committee of the Empire, if he blindly put His Highness next to him, it would probably cause doubts from the Central Committee of the Empire. At present, this review is just an ordinary activity. There is no need to keep it too secret, and there is no need to worry about the impact. It is best to let His Highness participate. In this way, the spies stationed in the northwest of the Empire can not only rest assured, but also show the intimate love between the Jiedu and His Highness of the Princess to the outside.
Xiao Tang's last words made Wufeng laugh and cry, but he still accepted Xiao Tang's opinion. After all, he was engaged to Situ Yutang. If there was no accident, she might become her own wife in the near future. She should also show her close relationship with the central government of the empire in terms of courtesy and affection to the outside world, especially the military and civilians in the northwest.
When Situ Yutang held Wufeng's hand and sat in the extended carriage representing the identity of the military and political governor of the Northwest, appeared in front of the people of Qingyang, the entire Qingyang City was almost crazy. The princess's elegant and luxurious temperament made the people who were welcomed by the road couldn't help but feel sincerely excited for their beloved parents who had such a noble identity and royal blood and such beautiful and charming woman. Seeing the people cheering from the bottom of their hearts, the two on the seat were in a very different mood.
