Xie Changyang stood up and slowly paced in the camp. There are only two divisions in the northwest who have entered Hanzhong now. According to information, no other follow-up troops have been following him. If Li Wufeng wants to get involved in the Hanzhong Basin, his strength in the Hanzhong Basin will be a bit weak. However, he asked these two divisions to stay at the foot of the Hanzhong Prefecture City, obviously he wanted to insert a kick here. However, how deep the kick is, the final purpose is quite difficult to think about. Maybe this guy is waiting for a price to gain more benefits by showing his existence.

Seeing the Lord General frowning and thinking hard, Wen Na sat leisurely aside and savored tea. Now these things don’t need to worry about by himself, and it is difficult to explain such things before the lid is lifted. Although the Lang family is negotiating with Li Wufeng, it is difficult to say whether the Lin family will be doing the same job as the Lang family. This is like an auction house. Whoever pays the higher price will belong to Hanzhong. Li Wufeng is the cargo owner. It’s a pity that Taiping Tribe, who can be regarded as the real cargo owner, and even the central government of the empire has been ruthlessly deprived of ownership and can only become a spectator on the wall.

"We can't wait any longer. The Lin family's reaction in North Ronesia was very dull. The Maqi Khan's performance was too poor and there was no restraint on the Lin family. If the Lin family was allowed to withdraw, it would be even more difficult for us to control Hanzhong." After a few rounds, Xie Changyang finally made up his mind and said decisively: "Brother Wenna, you can send someone to contact the Northwest Army immediately. I will also send someone to contact Lord Lang immediately. I hope to finalize the plan in the shortest time. We can tolerate the Northwest Army's foot, but we must not allow the Lin family to gain a foothold in Hanzhong. I think this is our bottom line."

"Sir Xie, what do you mean is that we join forces with the Northwest Army to expel the Lin family from the Hanzhong Basin?" Wen Na asked calmly.

"Yes, I can only do this at the moment. The Lin family controls Qitian Pass. Even if we drive them out, they will stay at Qitian Pass and threaten us. But that doesn't matter. As long as we send troops to defend in the southeast corner of the basin, they will not cause much storm." Xie Changyang carefully put forward his opinion, "As for the northwest, they have now controlled the fortresses in the north and west, it is unlikely that they will withdraw. They can only take one step and look at it."

"Well, if Lord Lang can reply to us soon, I think we are sure to get rid of the three divisions of the Lin family." Wen Na's face flashed with a confident look. As long as the Northwest Army assisted by him, he could be absolutely sure to eat the three divisions of the Lin family in one fell swoop, especially when the Lin family was not mentally prepared.

Lin Guowei had a little old face without any expression. As a veteran general of Sanjiang, he was the legitimate brother of the Jiedushi. He thought that his life had reached the peak of glory. To be honest, he did not agree with his brother's plan to advance north, especially when he did not have reliable means to deal with the threat from the Maqikhan in the east. However, his brother's increasingly urgent mood was already hard to stop. Once he had the chance, even if he was just a little bit, he was eager to get it.

Lin Guowei was filled with worries from the bottom of his heart. The return of his niece seemed to have a boost. Lin Guowei was surprised to find that his wise niece did not seem to agree with the alliance opinion she brought back. After briefly explaining, he never mentioned this matter again. Instead, it aroused the thoughts of his brother and kept sending envoys to the northwest to inquire about the news. Unfortunately, Lin Yunxiang's mission did not seem to have made much substantial progress, which disappointed his brother.

The huge change in the situation in Hanzhong did catch the Lin family off guard. Fortunately, the Lin family's decades of accumulation were not weak, so they quickly arranged an emergency plan. The conquest of Qitian Pass fully demonstrated the strength of the Lin family's backhand power. He took Qitian Pass into his hands in a calm manner, which made Lin Guowei very proud, but the performance of the Lang family even more shocked Lin Guowei, especially when he learned that the newly formed Burmese army of Wenna had built two divisions and formed considerable combat power. This news felt great pressure on Lin Guowei and Lin Guoxiong. The current situation of the Lin family is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Even if you move slowly, it is equivalent to retreating, because the competitors who are eyeing each other are progressing faster.

The black wall was like a towering monster. From a distance, it was dark and there was no light on the wall. In the dark night, Lin Guowei had been standing at the camp gate for a long time. He was a little anxious and seemed to be waiting for something, but every sound of horse hooves from afar made him very disappointed. The scouts did not understand the coach's psychology at the moment, and kept stimulating the anxious Lin Guowei.

There was another crisp sound of horse hooves. Lin Guowei frowned. He didn't want to express it, but the deep expectation still made him unable to help but look at him like a distance outside the camp gate. A familiar figure finally appeared in his eyes. Until he saw the excited expression in the other person's eyes, Lin Guowei was overjoyed, unable to contain his inner joy, and immediately met him.

"Sir, it's done, they finally agreed to our conditions!"

"Okay, do it well, without further ado, when will I do it?" Lin Guowei suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, but his trembling voice still exposed his inner excitement.

"Tomorrow, it will be completed within tomorrow, and the handover will be completed!" The messenger who answered Lin Guowei was also excited, although his exhausted face was filled with the light of pride and happiness.

Just when the storm of Hanzhong Prefecture City was at the meeting, Li Wufeng, one of the protagonists, had already quietly left Guanxi and returned to his old nest Qingyang. Ling Tianfang was in charge of Guide and unified command of the Northeast defense line. Wufeng felt much more at ease. Liang Chongxin was in charge of Longdong, and the two divisions of Song Tianxiong and Xiong Daoyuan were stationed in Hanzhong to take advantage of the troubled waters. At least for now, Wufeng believed that there would be no major war on his eastern front for the time being. In this case, the government affairs on his part need to be put on the agenda, especially in the past six months, since he started to fight against Indian and De'an in the Western Expedition, he focused on military operations, and naturally relaxed a lot of other affairs in his territory. Although Xiao Tang was in charge, Wufeng still needed to personally decide on many major matters, and many particularly important matters still need to be discussed within a certain range before he could decide.

After a few days of rest, Su Qin became much more energetic. He wore a blue brocade robe and an exquisite belt around his waist. A pair of dragon and phoenix relief jade pendants symbolized that the owner seemed to have some good news. Even Xiao Tang, who had always been a little dull in this regard, could see that his friend seemed to be much more energetic.

"Brother Su, I think you have encountered some good news. Haha, is this Jiangnan team taking care of both public and private affairs and having a double harvest?" Xiao Tang smiled and joked about him.

"Haha, what is the official business? I am a good person and the order of the master. As for whether it is good or bad, Su Qin dare not make a conclusion. I am afraid that Lord Li will judge this by himself." Su Qin said that his official business was much more cautious. "Why did Su Qin ask Lord Li for leave when he returned to Jiangnan and wanted to go back to his hometown. After a few years of his life, although his family members are still healthy, they should go back to fulfill their filial piety as their children."

"That's right, Lingzun Lingtang is in good health?" Xiao Tang nodded, as if feeling something.

"Well, it's all good. The climate in Jiangnan is indeed much more pleasant than that in the northwest. When I left Jiangnan, I just wore a thicker jacket, but the northwest had to wrap my body with a leather jacket." Su Qin's tone was full of nostalgia for his hometown. It was just that a man's career was more important than everything, and he could get a place where he could display his talents. Even if the conditions were worse, he could see the changes in these places being realized day by day in his hands. This feeling of satisfaction was irreplaceable to anything.

"Oh, Brother Su might as well move his family to the northwest at any time. Wouldn't it be much more convenient? If Lingzun Lingtang is unable to adapt to the body, his wife and children might as well move to the northwest." Xiao Tang thought about it and made a solemn suggestion.

"Haha, Brother Xiao's kindness Su Qin understood it. But I don't think it's necessary to move. Our adults' minds are now on the east side. I don't think we can return to the Central Plains. Although the northwest is the place where adults make their fortunes, the economy is too weak and the geographical location is slightly off the empire. If you want to achieve great things, you are afraid that Qingyang will not be able to take on this heavy responsibility." Su Qin's tone gradually became serious. This time, Jiangnan and his delegation passed the Five Lakes and went to the East China Sea to inspect the three most prosperous counties of Su Qin. Compared to his own travels, this time, this inspection was much more targeted, which made Su Qin deeply feel that the west was very deep.

The gap in economic strength between the north and these wealthy counties cannot be caught up in three to five years. According to his own opinion, if he wants to achieve great things, he must use his existing military force to take advantage of the deadlock between the Taiping Cult and the Empire and advance eastward by any means. Whether it is Jiangnan, East China Sea, Wuhu Lakes, Heshuo, the strength of a prefecture there is far greater than any prefecture in the northwest. This huge gap also prompted Su Qin to return to the northwest to find a suitable time to have a comprehensive exchange of opinions with his lord on this aspect. Of course, Xiao Tang is both his friend and the administrative leader of his lord, and naturally one of the main objects of Su Qin's advice.
