Section 2035 Strategic Research

For young master Linghu, this is something that he does not want to see. If the power comes to him after a large-scale internal conflict, it will be a very beneficial thing for the government of the Hedong Empire For the Linghu family, internal strife at this time will send their entire family to visit, so the young master Linghu immediately led the thousand people given to him by Li Cong at a family meeting. The entire family is more than a thousand meters away. All the high-level officials are under control. It’s okay for these people to continue to go out. They don’t need to take a medicine from Cao’s House. This kind of thing will not harm you in normal times.

At this moment, the people of the Linghu family were really dumbfounded. They never thought that their former leaders would treat them in such a way. How many times ago they all ate in the same pot, but now they Many people in the Linghu family sneered at the thought of using this kind of drug to control it. This method of drug control has not appeared before. Some people with very strong mental power can make this kind of drug, so for them It is very simple to find an antidote, but what they don't know is that these things will come from another planet in space, or even a drug from another space. This is not something that people of their era can solve. Yes, these few people took it boldly, because they have friends with very strong spiritual power, they don't care what kind of harm this kind of drug will cause them, in their opinion, they can leave here after eating these things Then you can find the antidote.

Naturally, Young Master Linghu would not stop them from coming to eat, the more such people the better. The remaining ones are more difficult to deal with. Those people do not have friends with strong spiritual power, and those with strong spiritual power will waste a lot of energy and money if they want to make antidote. They do not have such friends It will cost them a lot of financial resources, and even some other things, which they are unwilling to give up, so what these people think is that they can carry it over. Anyway, there are hundreds of people here, so Li Cong can't take Everyone took this drug forcefully. If word spread like this, it would be a very big obstacle for you to rule the entire Linghu family. Many people here understand it very well. They all wanted to hold hands and shave their heads together, Young Master Linghu. It's just that Linghu Novels will never give them a chance to resist. It took so much effort to gather you all together. If you let go of all of you, you can be described as letting the tiger go back to the mountain. How could he make such a low-level mistake.

"I'm afraid I'm not suitable for the next thing. So I think you can help me. You know it. Then I want to control the entire Linghu family. If I leave any bad impression here today, spread the word Going out will also have an impact on my reputation. It will be different for you. You are from Cao's House of Firm and have nothing to do with everything here. Even if you offend them all, for you It's a very simple matter. Young Master Linghu is not a fool himself. Of course he knows what these people are thinking? Of course he will use strong methods, but the person who knows will definitely not be himself but the person in front of him. The person Li Cong sent to him, Li Cong would not come forward to do such a thing. After all, this kind of thing is dirty in their eyes. They are all people with status. After getting involved in this kind of thing, it will be a stain that is not easy to clean up for the rest of your life, so Li Cong photographed one of his subordinates, and more subordinates began to go, and the matter could be solved by sacrificing one or two casually. Happy not to do it.

"Mr. Linghu, please don't worry, our shopkeeper has already explained this matter, and we will definitely make this matter satisfy you. As long as the people here can go out, they are all people who take medicine. Only those who don't Take medicine, my people will be carried out, we will try our best to minimize casualties, we also know that everyone here is a very beautiful member of the Linghu family, we will ensure their safety, of course, the premise is that they Cooperate with us, if you don't cooperate, there is nothing we can do." The guy replied with a smile, don't look at the smile on his face, in fact, this person is definitely the kind of person with a cunning heart and very dangerous methods. It's very white, but these hands have killed more than a hundred living people. Among these hundreds of people, there are very powerful royal children, and there are also ordinary people. The people he killed all had reasons for dying Well, if this person wants to kill someone, there is no fluctuation in his heart at all. This is the kind of cruel person in Cao's House.

The reason why this guy was sent over to do such a thing is that this guy's psychological quality is very strong. No matter how many people he kills, he turns his head and looks at others blindly, hiding everything in his heart. The thing is, the people here are dead except for those who take some kind of medicine. These people who take some kind of medicine will never tell it. The rest are already dead. What else can they say? But just in case Li Cong still won't come forward by himself, let this person come forward to handle it. Young Master Linghu smiled and nodded. It seems that this person is someone I can trust. Let's mourn silently, your fate will be handed over to this person. They are all elites of the Linghu family. When they are at home, they would never think that their heads would be handed over to others. They all thought that they would fail in a specific environment, but they never thought that the failure would be in their own hands. Among them, there are also some direct descendants of Young Master Linghu. They also need to take medicine, and there is no need to discuss it. matter.

A small amount is not a gentleman, a non-toxic is not a husband. Young master Linghu and Li heard this sentence from where, but now he is very clear, and he also understands the meaning of this sentence. Now he is doing this thing, this Many people in it grew up with him, and some are his elders now, but these people said to themselves that they supported him on the surface, but they would not let it go when they secretly wanted to do something Yes, other people's friends are one's own enemies. He has understood since he was a child. So don't think that you have any friendship with yourself? I can make you stop taking medicine, that is absolutely impossible, Young Master Linghu looked at the hundreds of people here with pity, a few of them wanted to talk, but Linghu Novel didn't talk to them either He knew very clearly that if he gave them a chance to speak, it would be very difficult for him to be a human being in the future, so he lifted his feet and left quickly.

After finishing the internal affairs of the Huo family, Young Master Linghu has other matters. That is the threat from the royal family. The news in the capital has already come. Besides doing a series of things, His Majesty the Emperor is deploying a huge military operation, which is to attack the enfeoffment of the Agni family. Although it is said that this war is something that neither side wants to see. But for ordinary people across the country. If His Majesty the Emperor doesn't take this step, he will lose the hearts of the common people very cleanly, wouldn't he be very powerful like His Majesty the Emperor? Why can't even use the power to counter the rebellion? The Linghu family has now clearly shown that they are a group of rebellious officials and thieves. If you don't kill them all, how can His Majesty save his own face?

When Young Master Linghu heard these rumors, he wished to arrest all those who spread rumors and cut off their tongues. It doesn't matter if you spread rumors at other times, it doesn't matter what you say in your own home, but What time is it now? What is depressing is that His Majesty has heard these words in his ears, and now His Majesty already knows, what she thinks is that the members of the Linghu family must be killed, even if they can't be beaten They, even if they can't get the fief back, they have to make a show, so that the common people all over the country can see that they are suppressing the rebellion, and if they want to kill them, it's not that they can't use this force. The empire is still the former Eastern Empire. The emperor of the Eastern Empire is still the former emperor. He cannot be overwhelmed because of this rebellion. He still has a lot of things to do. Of course, the first thing to do is to attack the fiefs that have been given. Defeat them Defeat them and restore the entire Eastern Empire to what it was before.

The airships of Cao's House of Merchant helped a lot with these matters. When the capital was retreating together, Li Congyi casually arranged dozens of airships to be distributed around the Eastern Empire, because the Linghu family retreated relatively quickly, and Linghu Some cases of the family have also been uprooted, so their news is very blocked. Although some important news can be obtained, most of the main news is still not available. For example, the transfer of some troops requires practical information. Go watch a couple? These airships will now play a huge role, hovering directly beside some traffic arteries, they will observe the movements of these troops, and now the news has also been transmitted to the fief of the Linghu family, and they told Li Cong, These troops have already begun to move towards the fiefdom of the Linghu family, and the speed is not slow. This number must definitely exceed the current capacity of the Linghu family. When His Majesty wants to do something, the entire empire will be in motion. of.

After Li Cong got the news, he also quickly headed towards Young Master Linghu's room. He knew that this guy hadn't slept for two consecutive days. He just slept for less than two hours now, and he didn't want to I used to disturb him, but now I don't know what to do if I don't disturb her? If it is my own strength, I can mobilize it at will, but this is the fiefdom of the Linghu family. All the resources of the army and all resources need to be decided by the person who sleeps in the house. I don't have any decision-making power. , although that young master Hu announced in front of everyone that Li Cong was his ally when he came back, and what you said was his words, but this is just a scene, and it’s okay for everyone to talk about family routines and jokes. It's okay to respect yourself, but it's impossible to mobilize every soldier of the Linghu family. Li Cong also said these scene words before, so he knows very well how much weight these scene words bring. Honestly look for the highest decision-making talent.

"I knew it was you coming from the sound of footsteps, and I also know that there must be no good news when you talk to me at this time. I'm ready. If you have any bad news, please tell me directly. That’s it for me, I can bear it, no matter how bad it is, it can’t be worse than the last failure in the capital.” The young master Linghu has already got up, Li Cong saw this guy when he entered the door, please open the door for himself, He also knew that the sound of his footsteps just now had indeed awakened him. In fact, when Li Cong was walking just now, he secretly added a part of his own internal force, that is, he hoped that the sound of his footsteps could wake this guy up instead of coming in and waking him up with his own voice. This is also a very important behavior. It means that Young Master Linghu got up by himself instead of waking him up. For example, he should be careful with himself now. This is because he owes himself a favor, instead of sending him a message on his own initiative. In a broad sense Said that he must also give him the news to make him owe a favor, why not do that?

It can't be counted at this time, but Li Cong's brain can be said to be like a kaleidoscope. He is already very good at calculating, so he can't help but think of such things. Li Cong shrugged helplessly. Speaking of fact, this is indeed bad news. I dare say that this bad news is comparable to your failure in the capital city last time. You can say that you lost most of the strength of the Linghu family in the capital city last time. If you can't persist this time, you may lose 100% of the strength of your Linghu family. There is news from the capital. My airships all over the country are also sending back news. The news is not optimistic, troops from all over the country are being mobilized, except for the necessary local troops, other troops have come here in an all-round way. The location of the Linghu family is in the south-central region of the entire Eastern Empire. My navy can't help you for a while, so now you can only rely on yourself to resist this attack.

"But I still need your support. Although your navy can't support me, your weapons can be delivered continuously. I have reached this point in the Eastern Empire. You have also seen it. If you still have to Without your support, I think our Linghu family will disappear in the whole world in the local area. Our disappearance is also a very great loss for you, and you will also fall into a situation of isolation and helplessness in the Eastern Empire , the four great empires, when the Middle East Empire is the most powerful empire, it already has its own status in the other three empires, but you have nothing in the Eastern Empire, you have to cooperate with us, I know you don't like it I speak like this, but now I have no other choice but you. If you don't help me, the destruction of the Linghu family will be a matter of time. The young master Linghu also took a sip of the wine in his hand Said, he usually doesn't drink much? But because of such things, drinking has become a common occurrence.

Hearing this, it seems like you are relying on me, and indeed what I told you is yes, I really don’t have any other friends in the Eastern Empire, and even if I did, they wouldn’t be able to do much? But what can your country do for me now? That is also impossible, you are now just a small warlord huddled in your own territory, it is impossible to separate the entire area, I will help you, but your entire strategy needs to be adjusted, your family's Some people of the older generation have already made a plan, they want to keep hundreds of your provinces, but I tell you now that this is impossible, your Linghu family is to fortify the wall and clear the country, and take everything away Take away all the things, and take away all the population in this area. If you have made a huge contribution, that is to fortify the walls and clear the fields, and transport all the strategic materials in the 100 provinces to the 500 provinces inside. Go to one province, if this is the case, there is still the strength to fight once.

If outsiders heard Li Cong's words, they would definitely say that this guy is crazy, what is he doing? The war hasn't started yet, how can he give up half of his own things? Ordinary people, he understands how important Li Cong's words are, and he also clearly knows how correct Li Cong's words are. If he tells those people in the family now, they will definitely jump up, but now he must follow Li Cong's words. He must convince the elders in the family that although the young master Linghu has mastered some of the elite members of the family, the Linghu family is too large, and there are some elders who have been staying in the fief. People are not so easy to persuade, even if they don't leave, Young Master Linghu has nothing to do with them, their army listens to them, they don't care who Young Master Linghu is, and want them to give up here All of them are impossible, their ancestors have been here for generations, they have never seen the prosperity of the capital, and they don't want the Linghu family in the capital to disturb them.

But in the past, Young Master Linghu would definitely choose to give up on them without hesitation, and just seek death one by one. But in this situation, if the Linghu family can still survive on this continent, he has to take these people and their troops away, otherwise the Linghu family won't last long? Even if we retreat to the 50 provinces now, once the 50 provinces outside are all settled by His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor will be even stronger and will be faced with a more dangerous situation. It's just a solution to the symptoms but not the root cause, so all these people must be taken away. The original army of one hundred provinces was deployed in fifty provinces. This will double the defense capabilities of these fifty provinces, and the people in the imperial court will also be in a bitter battle. As time goes by, the good-looking people will withdraw their troops!

If the imperial army starts to retreat, then there will be a buffer period for the Linghu family to grow, that is, during that buffer period, the young master Linghu wants to manage the area where the Linghu family is located. Just like Li Cong's dozen or so cities on the southern coast. Young Master Linghu has already received a wonderful report. Li Cong's cities on the southern coast were also attacked by the imperial army, but the people sent by the imperial army never boarded those cities at all, and they didn't even reach the city walls. The two lines of defense outside the city wall have already been beaten to the ground, let alone entering the city. What Young Master Hu thought was that Li Cong could move all of that set to his home, even if it was Wasted too much money, wasted too much energy, and I have to finish this matter, because this is the last straw for the Linghu family. If I catch it myself, the Linghu family will still have tomorrow. If I can't catch it The Linghu family might disappear today.

I completely agree with this plan, and I will find a way to convince some people in the family, but before that, I need a lot of military assistance, like that kind of grenade, I think there is no way to resist the enemy's attack if there are less than 2 million. You need to get me a lot of chain crossbows. I think these things are very simple for you. You just need to offer your price now. Whether it is money or other things, I will It can be handed over to you. Now our Linghu family has reached this stage. To put it bluntly, I make a knife for fish and meat. You are the knife and I am the meat. You can look at any part of me as long as you want. , you can take it away, Young Master Linghu said frankly, normally such vulgar words would not appear in the negotiations between such big men, but Young Master Linghu now also knows that if he doesn’t confess, he will never There is no possibility of helping yourself. What is the use of saving face at this time? It's better to be more realistic.

Grenades are as many as you want, right? He could get out the two million grenades very easily, but now the young master Linghu just paid for the opening remarks, and what he said was empty words without any basis at all, and those things were not put on the table Come up, I can't get it myself, these words are too false, too meaningless, is it too big? People will think that they are too greedy and open too small, and they will feel very cheap in their hearts, and they will suffer a lot. Therefore, it is not easy to ask the price. It is very difficult for the other party to open the door. Good thing, now Li Cong kicked the ball back, and I didn't mean to refuse you to ask for 2 million bullets, but I have to tell you, I can only give you 200,000 per month now , if you can come up with the conditions to impress me, maybe the number will rise. Young Master Linghu is also smart, he immediately understood the meaning of Li Cong's words.

I know that two million grenades are very difficult for you, but listen to me and I know that your warship is expanding in the Nanhai Sea. I have a very detailed map of the Nanhai Sea here, and Our country is in the South Sea and there are some secret contact points. I don't know how much this map is worth. How many grenades can he exchange for? Young Master Linghu smiled and handed a map on the table to Li Cong. This kind of map is a very precious treasure in this era. Take the map in front of him as an example, even if Li Cong spent hundreds of billions Two silvers may not necessarily be obtained. This planet is too huge, and the sea area is too huge. It may take several years for one's own airship to fly over the entire Nanhai region. If Li Cong Can't afford to waste this time. But now is not a time of peace, and the time he can't afford to waste during the time of rapid development is what Li Cong wants most, he thought for a while and said.

I have to say that you have negotiating skills. You know what the person negotiating with you needs. Take me as an example, even if you give me all the wealth of your Linghu family, you can only tell you Nong Bu There are so many grenades, and there are such bandits on some islands. Such forces are very troublesome for my warship. With this map, I can save a lot of energy. Now I can Think about adding some grenades to you, but it can only be 400,000 per month. No more words. I'm about to transfer airships from other places for transportation. This may cause some disruption to the entire transportation network. Our Cao's Commercial Bank focuses on reputation. For this matter, the reputation of our Cao's firm was already damaged a lot last time. Li Cong said with a smile.

Then you say that, can I understand that as long as there is a suitable price, your transportation network can also be given up? Young Master Linghu also said with a smile. I can also make some sacrifices for you. Seeing that everything in this world has a price, it depends on whether you can pay the price. If you can really get this price, get up immediately, and I can make some sacrifices for you, or even give up some other unimportant interests. After all, your interests are very important, and I can make a Come in sequential order.

Well, now let me tell you that except for this Nanhai map, the more than one hundred islands in the entire Nanhai that belong to my Linghu family and the people on them are all yours. I don’t know if this can be changed to the two hundred As for the 10,000 grenades, Young Master Linghu said seriously, Li Congxue never thought that this guy would offer such a price, let alone 200 grenades, even 20 million grenades would be given by himself. Huge.

How can I say that Linghu Novels are not ordinary people, if they were ordinary people, they would definitely not be able to do such a thing. But to the young master Liuhu, if he is dead, if the Linghu family on the mainland does not exist, then what are those things on the sea? No matter how powerful those things are, can he return to the mainland? Is it possible to bring him back to life? To revive the entire Linghu family? That is absolutely impossible. Those things are like things outside of the body. Young Master Hu remembers that Li Cong told him that "money is something outside of the body that cannot be carried away from life to death." That kind of thing is just a symbol. Now throwing these symbols out for his own life and death can be exchanged for the weapons the Linghu family needs, allowing the Linghu family to maintain their own power, which is worthwhile to him. There are many people in the world who understand this truth, maybe There are not many people who want to do this, at least the young master Linghu in front of him is not an ordinary person, Li Cong himself sometimes can't do it, he admires this guy in front of him very much.

"To be honest, I was really moved by the price you offered. If I still don't agree to such a thing, I have a brain problem. Don't worry, all the news from me is given to you for free. Yes, I myself have an analysis agency. I analyze that the imperial army will not come to you within half a month, but within half a month you have to withdraw all the people from fifty provinces. This is a problem The very difficult thing, I think it is better to do it slowly. In the first month, the outermost sixteen provinces will be withdrawn, and in the second month, the sixteenth province in the second group will be removed, and the third province will be removed. You will have three months to finish the sixteen provinces in the third group. During these three months, I think you can withdraw all your belongings. That is to say, are you willing to do so? , That's your own business, I'm just giving you a suggestion, Li Cong said, he has now adjusted his position, as if he was a staff officer of Young Master Linghu, and started to give him advice, of course it is Nan That part of the wealth of the sea is at work.

It really touched Li Cong. If there was no part of Nanhai's wealth, Li Cong would not be so active in helping from now on. They have already sacrificed so much, so what's the point of making a little contribution? Otherwise, if the Linghu family failed like this, it would be just as he said, only bad for him and not good for him, why would he do such a thing? Relatives and enemies are quick, Li Cong will not do it, but Li Cong understands this truth, the royal family of the Eastern Empire is already inseparable from him, and the Linghu family mainly has no words of its own. It is impossible for them to escape from the capital, and it is impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to do this with such a large army and horses across the country. It is possible to spend a lot of money to make the entire Eastern Empire go back ten years. Such a huge Civil wars are not very common in the history of the four empires? Therefore, the royal family of the Eastern Empire hated Li Cong to death. Li Cong can only go to the dark now, and that is to support the Linghu family and let them divert the attention of the royal family.

The things you said can be given up. If you don’t give up, it’s useless to keep them in my own hands. I don’t know that you can play some role. I don’t think you will be a safe person. people. Those islands are surrounded by other forces of the major families in the imperial court. I think with your character, if you represent the territory of our Linghu family, there is an island next to it. I may have a grudge against you on this island. Would you call your warship to take it down? I think yes. "Young master Linghu also smiled and said that Li Congxue did not deny it, that's for sure. If he scattered into Nanhai and blocked his own path, then it would be his own. Why didn't he take it down?

"I know that you are not that kind. It turns out that there is such an idea in the gift, and it is also beneficial to you. The reason why the Eastern Empire is so powerful is also directly related to these materials at sea. If all lines of communication are cut off, even if the royal family of the Eastern Empire is stronger than you now, you will have my support in the future, and he will not have the support from the sea, and the strength of both of you will gradually approach, although I cannot guarantee you You will be on the same platform and at the same level as the royal family of the empire, but the generation gap between you will gradually narrow, and it is possible for you to defeat him in the end, but this time is not short. You must do well This preparation, if you want to make any changes in a short period of time, I think you should forget it, this is a long-term investment." Li Cong thought about it and said, he didn't want the two sides to turn against each other because there was no result for the time being, now This situation is also very tense. We can share adversity but not necessarily share it.

"Don't worry, I'm not a brainless person and I know very well what the current situation is like? You Cao's firm is willing to help us. We are already burning incense. How can we manage the future? Now what I think about is how the Linghu family can hold on to these fifty provinces. The people of the Eastern Empire court know that this is a hard rock, so they will give up here, at most it will be the same as the ten cities that deal with you Similarly, live around the army to prevent people from that side from coming here, and people from our side will not be allowed to go there to have trouble. At that time, we may want to rely on your Cao's firm even more. The rest of us The first and most important thing about these fifty provinces is the food problem. These fifty provinces produce a lot of minerals, but they don’t have any food. All these things have to be solved by your Cao’s business, Linghu’s His vision is very far-sighted, he has not retreated successfully yet, and he is already thinking about the time of retreat, just as he said, there will be a lot of troubles for Cao's firm in the future.

Don't worry, since we are friends, I can't let you do some disadvantageous things. How much our food is sold in other places is how much you sell here. I will never increase the price at all. , Of course, my food will only teach you, if you want to raise the price to a certain extent, it is your own business, it depends on what you do? Now time is money, time is your life, let's not waste time here, I will continue to collect information, and you have to have a good talk with your elders, if they are not happy, I will not Mind lending you my guard, Li Cong looked at the time and said, half an hour has passed now, it would be fine if two people chatted for a day in the past, but now half an hour is very precious, that is In half an hour, His Majesty the Emperor may directly get an army of millions, and an army of two million in an hour. According to this calculation, the Linghu family really doesn't have much time?

In the past, the Linghu family in the Eastern Empire could be said to have controlled more than half of the military generals in the Eastern Empire. Now that the Linghu family has directly betrayed them, His Majesty the Emperor cannot use the original military generals for the time being. He naturally has to choose a new one. The marshal is here, but the members of the Linghu family are all able to recruit and fight well. Many in the army admire the members of the Linghu family. Now if they want someone else to lead them, they may feel uncomfortable, so this war His Majesty the Emperor is directly conscripting the imperial conquest, and he has to earn his own way to lead the army there, which is frightening for most people. There are only two situations in which the imperial conquest will go back. It is really the time when the empire lives and dies. At that time, the emperor Your Majesty can go in person, the other is that the war must be won to go, otherwise it will fail, which is very unacceptable to the people of the entire empire. If the emperor fails, then what else does the entire empire have? hoped.

In the past, His Majesty the Emperor had his own reason and would never go to this war regardless of the objections of the officials, but now His Majesty the Emperor has no reason of his own, and all he thinks about is to kill the members of the Linghu family Yes, to seize the territory of the Linghu family and restore the entire Eastern Empire to its previous state, but can he really do it now? The Linghu family is no longer the original Linghu family. It has changed, especially this young master Linghu. He sees everything very accurately. He has always been indifferent to the royal family. It is okay to respect you, but You should also respect us, now you are the emperor and I am a commoner, so what, now we are equal, I will fight with you, what nonsense such as imperial conquest, etc. Just throw it out.

The emperor of the Eastern Empire made such a thing, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he had already announced this to the people of the entire empire, so should he swallow it again? That is absolutely impossible. I am the emperor, I have supreme dignity, and my words are the imperial decree. This is absolutely impossible. For many years, the emperor has not put on his own armor. Now the emperor's armor is very Bright, the previous set is no longer good, but this time it is new, these things are very good for him, he also feels that he in the military uniform on the ship seems to have become a lot younger, and he is also more mature. He became more energetic, but no one else could have thought of this, only he himself could have thought of it. (To be continued..)
