"No, I will never agree! Unless I die, no one wants me to withdraw from Lujiang with one soldier!" Lin Guoxiong, who was extremely excited, completely lost his former calmness, like an angry lion, his chest flushed sharply, and his face flushed. He walked back and forth in the spacious conference hall, roaring like thunder: "My Lin family members worked hard and went through a lot of hardships, but they actually wanted me to withdraw without saying a word? This is simply a fool! No one can do it!"

A series of words spurted out from Lin Guoxiong. It can be seen that this time he was angered by the request made by the empire. Entering Kansai has always been his lifelong dream, because he believed that this was the first step for the Lin family's revival. Now the bridgehead entering Kansai has been taken. North looks down at Kansai, and West threatens Tiannan. The morale of the army is in full swing. It is possible to take advantage of the victory. Even if it is demanding stability, it can be steadily and steadily, work hard to manage Lujiang, and lay a solid foundation for the next step of advancement. Now he has to take the initiative to give in. How can this be accepted?

This conference hall is located in the capital of Lujiang City. It was originally an important conference place for local officials in Lujiang City. Now Lujiang has been captured by Lin Guowei, the first army of Sanjiang, so it naturally became a conference place for Sanjiang garrison.

Lin Guowei, who was standing in the lower head, and several other important officers of the Sanjiang First Legion all seemed a little indignant. The empire's unreasonable request made them feel unacceptable. They sacrificed their lives and sacrificed their children to exchange for the good situation today. Now they have to withdraw and hand them over to the incompetent imperial army to take over. How can they not be indignant?

"Sir, we don't need to pay attention to those guys! This was taken back from the Taiping Sect with a drop of sweat and blood. It was not a forceful occupation of the empire. They have the ability to take back Hanzhong and Jincheng. It would be too arrogant to do this. It would be so arrogant. If they are not kind, don't blame us for being unrighteous. Just get out of their special envoy. If they are not convinced, come and fight a battle. I want to see who dares to come to Taisui to get on the head!" The sound of the bell was Huang Hua, deputy commander of the Sanjiang First Legion. He was so angry that he heard the purpose of the imperial envoy, and he became angry and wanted to kill the envoy immediately to vent his hatred.

"Yes! Don't overestimate yourself!"

"If you have the ability to take it back yourself, what's this? I'm delusional!"

The following division leaders also echoed and shouted, and for a moment, the crowd was excited and angry and cursed.

However, Lin Guowei, who had always been relatively calm, frowned. However, seeing that his brother was in an emotional state at this time, he was not easy to interrupt. He just stood there silently. He was also very dissatisfied with the empire's request this time, but he thought much farther. He also knew that his brother was angry at this time, but as long as he calmed down, he believed that he would slowly consider the pros and cons.

Leaving the noisy generals below, Lin Guoxiong's mood gradually calmed down. Of course, this did not mean that he would accept the request of the empire. On the contrary, he was now considering what consequences would have if he refused the request of the empire and what impact would have on his side.

Seeing that the Jieduian's face was still gloomy and angry, but his expression could be seen thinking about things, obviously considering the difficult problems in front of him. All the generals also tactfully shut their mouths quietly, waiting for the Jieduian to make a final decision.

After thinking about it, Lin Guoxiong still felt that he could not just give up Lujiang, and he would not turn back. Since he had taken the first step to compete for the Central Plains, there was nothing worth regretting, let alone such a smooth beginning. Although there was a troublesome thing about the empire, Lin Guoxiong was not too worried. After all, today's empire is already a huge empty space in his eyes. He has the will but lacks strength to act as a true portrayal of the empire at this time. He can use other excuses to perfunctorily responsibilities. Without checking and balancing his own strength, he is not qualified to point fingers.

Seeing that his brother's face was gloomy and gloomy, Lin Guowei was a little worried. He knew that his brother valued this northward battle very much. Before leaving, he repeatedly reminded him to seize and occupy Lujiang to lay the foundation for his future northward journey. He lived up to the expectations and seized and controlled the entire Lujiang Prefecture. Everything seemed so perfect. Unexpectedly, the empire would ask to take back the management rights of Lujiang at this time, which made his side suddenly fall into a dilemma.

Concession? Not only did the early efforts were wasted, but the road to advance north was blocked; rejecting the imperial request would inevitably anger the empire. Not only did the empire's central government, but it would also cause dissatisfaction among the civil forces within the empire. The name of traitors and traitors could not escape. Perhaps what followed was that economic and trade with areas directly under the empire would also be impacted and affected, and these should also be considered.

Perhaps perfunctory and inferring is the best choice, which can avoid turning against the empire directly or losing actual benefits, but can the empire really tolerate it? Will this be the best choice? Lin Guowei raised his eyes and the brother who was looking over, and both of them noticed the worry in each other's eyes.

With a depressed wave of his hand, Lin Guoxiong seemed a little tired: "Everyone goes down first and strengthens their own alerts in the ground. Other enemies take advantage of loopholes. Everyone doesn't have to worry about this matter, I have a decision."

When all the generals bowed and left, Lin Guoxiong shouted again: "Guowei, please stay."

There were only two brothers in the huge conference hall, which seemed empty. Lin Guoxiong only sat back in the chair, relaxed himself, and exclaimed his grandeur, "Guowei, what do you think about this?"

"Brother, this matter is difficult to deal with. I think you know that no matter how we do it, there are probably disadvantages and difficulties." Lin Guowei was also frowning and spoke a heavy tone.

"Yes, I didn't expect that we would encounter such trouble when we took this first step. Hehe, it seems that the road to growth and growth of our Lin family is not easy to walk." Lin Guoxiong sighed a little, but his eyes still flashed with a full of confidence.

"Brother, have you decided?" Lin Guowei was still a little worried.

"Well, Guowei, do you think we can still retreat now?" Lin Guoxiong asked back.

For a moment, Lin Guowei could not answer this question. Yes, can he still go back now? If he wants to go back, what is the purpose and significance of this northward advance? Can one side bear the consequences of the unretreatment? Have you prepared to deal with it in all aspects?

He was very suspicious, but he didn't want to say much, so he had to suggest vaguely: "This matter is very important. Brother, are we calculating the matter well? Anyway, this matter is not in a hurry. I can just find a reason to delay it for a while. In addition, I was wondering if Yuexin came here to discuss it, maybe she had a better idea."

"Well, you send someone to pick up Yue Xin. The defense needs to be stepped up now. This time I am determined not to retreat to Sanjiang. We finally get this opportunity and lose it again. Maybe I will never be able to set foot on the Central Plains again in my life, so I will never be able to rest in peace even if I die." Lin Guoxiong also knew his brother's concerns, but he had already made a decision in secret. Even if his daughter came, he could not change him. At worst, he could make some adjustments in his methods and strategies.

Wufeng frowned and looked at the stack of information in his hand, without raising his head, and waved his hand to signal Diao Su who was standing in the lower head to take his seat, but the other party did not follow his wishes, but just stood there patiently waiting for his boss to read.

"Well, this Yao Lian is confirmed to be from Hanzhong?" Wufeng slowly chewed on the information he just obtained.

"Well, there should be no problem." Diao Su's answer was also very short and clear.

"Then this thing is said that Yao Lian lives in Chengfeng Tower, Jinling and rarely goes out. Why do you say that she has to go to Yuhang and Quanzhou in Jiangnan every summer?" Wu Feng raised his own question, which made him pay great attention.

"I have also verified that Yao Lian does go to Jiangnan every year, but I have not learned the specific details. It is said that she likes Jiangnan's landscape, so "Diao Su is not sure. After all, the time is too short, and he cannot obtain more detailed information. His boss is an extremely smart person, and he dare not be careless.

"I like the mountains and rivers of Jiangnan? Then why never go to Gusu and Huzhou? Is the scenery there worse? "Why do you want to arrange someone to touch it carefully as soon as possible. I always feel that Yao Lian is not that simple person. It is just at this sensitive time that we are coming to the northwest again, and I am not careless."

"Don't worry, sir, I will arrange someone to investigate immediately. I believe there will be a reply in no time." Diao Su's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"In addition, pay attention to whoever comes into contact with her, but I guess no one comes into contact with her. This woman is quite arrogant." Wufeng was also a little confused. The goal is so obvious, it should be difficult to make anything.

"Sir, the servants and servants whom my subordinates suspect her, especially the singer and dancer, are even more doubtful. Although Yao Lian did not see the guests, that woman seemed very active." Diao Su brought out the information obtained from observations over the past few days.

"Oh?" Wu Feng also became interested, "It seems that those who come are not good, and those who are good don't come, it's interesting."

Wufeng laughed while thinking. "Then take good care of them. Those who come here are guests. Don't 'neglect' them."
