Section 99 Challenge
The two women's masks were tentative and contemplating each other under the candlelight of their lives and darkness. No one could notice the other's intentions. A quiet confrontation passed quietly with a chuckle and clever words.
After receiving the battle report from the front line like flowing water, Wufeng couldn't sit still. Looking down at the map on the desk in front of him, Wufeng's brows rarely frowned. Even the loss of Luzon in the northwest did not make him feel so difficult. The situation in Derlock made him feel like he was sitting in a crater and steaming.
Although the Principality of the Terocchi has not yet completely fallen, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Terocchi has been surrounded by the forces of the Kamans and Taiping Cult. Moreover, the Mans swept across the coalition defense line between the Terocchi and the Empire in a short period of several days. Now there are only two lonely cities left. At this time, the Kamans are more powerful, and it is only a matter of time before they fall. Once the Principality of the Terocchi will fall, it will inevitably pose a considerable threat to Lu Long, Taixuan, and even Guide, whom they control. If their subordinates have to make corresponding adjustments, they will be in an extremely passive situation, which Wufeng does not want to see.
But what can I do now? The empire is obviously powerless and it is difficult to even smooth out its internal problems. If it weren't for being trapped there and unable to escape, the two imperial army divisions trapped in the quagmire of the quagmire of the quagmire of the two imperial army would have withdrawn long ago. Without the support of the empire, there would be no suspense in this battle. Wufeng looked at the territory on the map with a little regret, which was different from the empire. It was at this point, and it was probably beyond human power to save it.
He also needs to make adjustments immediately. Once the Derlock falls completely, the Kamans with strong morale will not have much time to rest and show their minions. Perhaps Lu Long or Tai Xuan will be their next target. With the current defensive situation, Tai Xuan and Lu Long can hardly resist the Kamans' fierce offensive.
It seems that he might have been a little wrong to take down Lu Long, adding a big burden out of thin air, and now it has become the focus of the Kaman attack. Otherwise, he would give Lu Long to the Kaman or Taiping Cult? This idea flashed through Wufeng's mind, but it was immediately denied by Wufeng. Not to mention how much negative political impact it would have, and the Kaman would not stop after taking this place, and encourage the other party's arrogance in vain and give it to the Taiping Cult? Perhaps this is a good plan, which can not only allow the Taiping Cult to block the Kaman's pace of going south, but also provoke conflicts between the two sides. But will this achieve the goal you expected? Lulong fell into the hands of the Taiping Cult, and they will be completely connected with the Taiping Cult forces in Longdong. If he wants to advance east again, it will be very difficult.
Both ideas were denied by Wufeng himself. After all, the military power he had was too weak and seemed a little dispersed. Should I make some reforms? When I think of this, Wufeng felt a headache, lack of strength and no resentment, or only a good foundation could be honest and good at talking about anything else, but the situation is so urgent, and time is too late.
The situation on the Western Front has basically eased. Can we consider withdrawing some troops from the Western Front? Wufeng's mind returned to the west. According to the agreement reached by several parties, especially the agreement reached with the Luzons, Wufeng also boldly made some concessions and commitments. The treaty stipulates that the Luzons withdraw from the northwest Luzon, and everything will return to the original state after the signing of the treaty the previous year. He agreed that the Gaoyue people in the jurisdiction of both sides could move freely, and the two sides officially signed a political and military alliance, and promised to give the other party the maximum support. Luzon also expressed his resignation to form an alliance with the countries in the Western Regions.
In return, Wufeng gave up the claim of pursuing the other party's breach of the contract and the compensation for the losses caused to Luzon in the northwest, and promised to provide 30,000 horses to the Grand Duchy of Luzon within half a year (the Grand Duchy of Luzon does not produce military horses due to its geographical location and climate reasons, and cavalry in its army has always been a weakness). The price is calculated at 60% of the market price. In addition, both sides have agreed to open the tariff standards of both sides, lower them to the minimum standards, and promote commercial circulation between the two sides. In addition, Wufeng also agreed to provide the other party with a batch of high-quality weapons and armor in the shortest time, and expressed firm support and secretly joined the alliance formed by Luzon and Cominei. This treaty greatly reduced the military pressure on the Western Front and also facilitated Wufeng to have more energy to deal with the countries in the Western Regions.
The negotiations with Beiga seem much easier. Because of the initiative, it is much more flexible to operate. In addition to the decision to be stationed by the Independent Infantry Division of Northern Luzon outside the capital of Beiga (the garrison's military expenses are half of the garrison's finances), Beiga also agreed to open up tariffs between the two sides and reduce the tariffs between the two sides to the standards between the countries in the Western Regions Alliance within three years. At the same time, the Beiga Defense Force hired senior cadets from the Northwest Military Academy to form an advisory group to guide the daily military training of the Beiga Defense Force and the training of middle and grassroots officers. Wufeng also promised to ensure that he did not interfere with the status of the Beiga royal family, and promised that the Northern Luzon garrison would withdraw from Beiga when eliminating foreign threats, with the maximum garrison time of no more than five years.
The most disappointing thing this time is probably Luo Beiren. In addition to obtaining the guarantee of not holding the responsibility of Loulan Kingdom, Luo Beiren got almost nothing. Faced with Luo Beiren's request, Wufeng showed unprecedented toughness and insisted on punishing the initiator of the incident, the Loulan people. Until the negotiations were about to break down, under Xiao Tang's various actions, Wufeng reluctantly agreed to give up this request, but also required Luo Beiren to make a guarantee that the Loulan people should not support the development of military power and the garrison in any country in the Western Regions. Under the strong threat of Li Wufeng, although Kurdo, who lacked the necessary experience in diplomatic negotiations, had to accept this condition in the end. Although he also left a tail, he said that he would report to his superiors, Besan and the Chief of the Great.
Finally, the Western Front achieved such a good situation, but the situation in the east took a sharp turn and suddenly became so severe that Wufeng sighed that misfortune was not singular, and the blessings were unparalleled. These two sentences were really famous quotes summarized by the ancestors. Before he could celebrate the success of the negotiations, the east was in a raging war and had quickly spread to his control area. Even in Qingyang, he could feel the burning heat spread from the blazing fire in the north.
Even though Wufeng was full of his mind, he had to lower his head and calm down to consider how to deal with this bad situation. Although the pressure on the Western Front was eased, the Shuangdui Guard Division had been crippled. It would take at least three months to restore its original state. The Northern Luzon Independent Infantry Division in Shanzhu had a great role, which not only controlled Beiga and deterred Loulan, but also shouldered an important role in stabilizing the situation in Wusun. Although I really wanted to pull this army back to the northwest, under the current situation, I would never be able to do it. As for Liang Chongxin's Northwest Army First Division, it has become the backbone of stabilizing the hearts of the Northern Luzon army and people. I don't have to consider the exam for the time being, so where are there any extra troops?
Just as Wufeng sighed and calculating the forces he could use with his fingers, Ling Tianfang, who was in charge of Lulong's mansion, also encountered trouble.
"Sir, there was a group of people outside who were blocked by guards when they entered the city, and their appearance was very suspicious."
Hearing the report from his soldiers, Ling Tianfang replied impatiently: "What's going on? You have to report to me if you have suspicious behavior? Why don't you let them hand over the people to the Interior Affairs Office and the Police Department?"
"But sir, the other party is very anxious. He said that there are important matters that are urgent and must meet Lord Li immediately. We dare not take the initiative. "The officer lowered his head and quickly argued.
"Oh? Is there suspicious signs? I want to meet Lord Li?" Ling Tianfang then raised his head suspiciously and stared at the other party's face: "Did the other party reveal their identity? Where did they come from?"
"They did not say their identity, but said that they were from the Principality of the Delok. It seemed that there was a young man in the middle who could not see clearly, who was the master. He was protected very closely by a group of people. Even if they entered the city, they were still very vigilant." The officer quickly replied.
"Oh, that's how it's here, Dirok?" Ling Tianfang was also a little confused. Could it be that he came to ask for help? Then what would that young man come from? He knew it as soon as he saw it. Ling Tian put down the pen in his hand, stood up and said, "Then you go and take them to me."
A group of about ten people looked dusty and surrounded a young man into the courtyard. Although they were exhausted, they remained highly alert. It could be seen that they were a team with strict discipline and strict execution of special tasks.
Ling Tianfang stood behind the window frame with great interest and looked at the uninvited guests. Until now, he still could not guess where these people came from and what their purpose was. However, one thing is certain that the identity of the young man with a tightly covered body in the middle must be extraordinary.
"I'm sorry, please wait a moment. I'll invite us sir. Please rest here first. Who needs to see us?" The officer asked politely according to Ling Tianfang's instructions.
A young man with a square face took a step forward, his eyes narrowed, and he asked carefully: "Brother, we have something urgent to see Lord Li. I wonder if the lord you just mentioned is Lord Li Wufeng and Li?"
The officer was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to be so careful. He didn't know how to answer for a moment. The square-faced man knew that the other party was talking about was definitely not Li Wufeng, and his anxious expression even made him say: "Mr. Li is not here? Then I don't know where to find Master Li. We have important things and we must meet Master Li as soon as possible."
Seeing that his subordinates could not cope, Ling Tianfang was no longer reserved and walked out from behind the door and said kindly: "This brother, Lord Li, Lord Li has something to go out, and Lu Long is temporarily responsible for it. I wonder what important things are in my brother, I need to see Lord Li immediately? If you can reveal that you know something about me and can make the decision, you will not refuse and cannot make the decision, you will immediately notify Lord Li as quickly as possible."
