A shrill scream came faintly in the huge Deng house. Yuan Yiqiu's heart jumped slightly, staring at Deng Hong in front of him, but Deng Hong was not moving at all. However, in his eyes, Yuan Yiqiu saw a trace of deep sorrow, but it was also fleeting. .

"Basically change, either reborn from the fire or end up like this. Things are that simple." Deng Hong suddenly raised his neck and took a big sip of wine. The strong wine was like his throat, but suddenly coughed violently.

"If you hadn't been determined, Daqin might have time to change all this." Yuan Yiqiu said unconvincedly.

"Is that right?" Deng Hong sneered disdainfully, "I'm afraid that it's not necessarily true. Deng has been imprisoned here for three years, but what he saw was that I, Daqin, was getting worse day by day, and now I'm finally on the verge of collapse."

"That's because you are unscrupulous in the war, which has destroyed the vitality of the Qin Dynasty." Yuan Yiqiu said angrily.

"Mr. Yuan, don't forget that the army of Deng died in Hengdian." Deng Hong sighed: "If it weren't for this, how could I be trapped in the lonely house here."

He raised his head and stared at the thick dark clouds in the sky, as if he saw the Deng family members who died in the battle in Hengdian, and an old tears slowly slid across his face in the corner of his eyes.

"It depends on others, but it depends on God!" He murmured: "All planning is not wrong. The only mistake is that we lost in Hengdian battle. Haha, I thought I would win a battle, but I lost even my underwear. Mr. Yuan, this is the root of my failure. I calculated everything, but I didn't. We will lose this battle. The Ming people were able to withstand the attack of the Qi people while quelling civil strife and defeating our army in Hengdian. The battle laid the foundation for their founding. Mr. Yuan, you said that at that time, if we also threw the Thunder Army into the Battle of Hengdian, would this battle be another result?"

Yuan Yiqiu's heart seemed to be hit hard. Yes, if that battle could also be put into the battlefield, would he win? If this battle was won, the Qin Dynasty would indeed be nirvana and be reborn from the fire.

"It's a pity, there is no if. Because at that time, even if I made this request to the emperor, the Thunder Army would not have taken half a step forward in Yongdu!" Deng Hong sighed and said, "Your Majesty is afraid that I will rebel! Yuan Yiqiu, do you think I will rebel?"

Yuan Yiqiu shook his head involuntarily.

"How could I rebel?" Deng Hong smiled bitterly, "What I want is to make my Qin truly powerful, go out of Western Xinjiang, go to the mainland, and unify the world. What I want is to make the Qin proud, no longer the poor country among the countries on the mainland!"

Looking at the already very old Deng Hong in front of him, Yuan Yiqiu suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable. Yes, this person had done a lot of wrong things, or he had no sense of awe of the royal family, but he was indeed a loyal person to Daqin.

"What I want is just to get a reputation and reputation like Li Zhi after death, and to be respected by the people, so that they know that it was me, Deng Hong, who led them to prosperity and strength. In this way, when I came to the nine springs, I could stand proudly in front of Li Zhi and Dashuai Li and tell him, Li Shuai, I am right when you did something wrong before." Deng Hong murmured.

"The winner is the king and the loser. I lose, and I have no face to see Li Zhi." Looking at Yuan Yiqiu, Deng Hong smiled bitterly: "Yuan Yiqiu, the Qin Dynasty is about to end. Today, my Deng family has finished all their lives here, and it can be regarded as a separation with the country."

Yuan Yiqiu took a deep breath and suppressed all kinds of emotions in his heart, disgust, respect, hatred, and admired all kinds of emotions that were entangled in his heart, making him unable to explain what kind of mood he was for Deng Hong.

"The Qin Dynasty will not end." He said to Deng Hong with a strong voice: "The prince is about to lead his troops to fight in person, and Yuan will also go to the battlefield. The master of Dazai uses 50,000 Thunder Army as its core and has collected 200,000 troops. He will embark on the journey soon, regain the Huzhu, expel the Ming army, wipe out the rebels, and regain Qingzhou. The prince, His Majesty the Emperor opened the national treasury, and even opened the private treasury of the royal family, taking out all the wealth accumulated by the royal family over the past hundred years. In this battle, Qin State was united and the three armies used their lives to win and triumphant victory."

Listening to Yuan Yiqiu's words, Deng Hong laughed: "Mr. Yuan, the battle between the two armies cannot be won by a few passionate words. Although the Thunder Army is brave, it is only more than 50,000 people. The Ming army, any Zhenshang main battle camp, is not inferior to the Thunder Army. Even their miners' camp, Zhuifeng camp and other units must be better in terms of combat effectiveness and fighting will. Not to mention that their excellent equipment is incomparable to us."

"Mr. Deng doesn't have to be ambitious to others. We may not be able to do what you can't do." Yuan Yiqiu sneered.

Deng Hong shook his head: "The 200,000 army does sound like a lot, but how many of them can be considered elite? The 200,000 army will go to war, consume a huge amount of food, supplies, and military expenditure? Can our national strength bear it? Should this battle be won quickly or last?"

"Of course we need to win quickly." Yuan Yiqiu said affirmatively: "Now the Ming people's army at Hulao Pass has been found to be only Zhufeng Camp, Baoqing Camp, and the others are Hulao Army. They are still under reorganization. Although Hulao Army has many and strong combat power, the newly surrendered Ming people are afraid that they will not be sincere and there will not be much combat power left. More importantly, Hulao Army is all from our Qin people. As soon as the imperial army arrives, there will inevitably be those who are determined to fight against the Qin people and welcome our imperial army. Victory is expected."

Deng Hong glanced at Yuan Yiqiu: "Mr. Yuan, please forgive me for your frankness. You said that the Hulao army would rise up to greet the imperial army after the arrival of the imperial army. Is it a guess or there is a specific candidate? Have they surrendered to the imperial court?"

Yuan Yiqiu's old face turned red: "No, but the Hubin army is also a citizen of the Qin Dynasty."

Deng Hong sighed, "This is a national war, so reckless? What if no one resists the Ming army to welcome the imperial army? What if the Hulao army is not angry with Xiao Qiang's death and holds a grudge against the imperial court, and wants to avenge Xiao Qiang? There are indeed not many Ming people garrisoning in Hulao, but in Kaiping County, they are still stationed in several battle camps, and it will not take long to enter the battlefield. Does this imperial court have a plan?"

"The army stationed in Kaiping County by the Ming people would be restrained by Lu Jing. The emperor had already thrown away the envoy to Danyang County, and conferred Danyang and Qingzhou to Lu Jing, allowing him to split the land and encroach on the border. Lu Jing captured Danyang, isn't that what it means? Then the court can satisfy him." Yuan Yiqiu said.

Deng Hong lowered his head for a while, and when he raised his head, he sneered: "Lu must be ambitious, but not very brave, good at planning, but not good at making decisions. What you gave is indeed what he wanted, but this man is very smart and he will only rely on powerful people. Today's Daqin is afraid that he can no longer be confident. As long as the Ming people scare him, he will not say that he will change his course. As long as the imperial army suffers a defeat, he will immediately wave his knife and cut you hard to please the new master. It is really whimsical to expect him to restrain the Ming army."

Yuan Yiqiu snorted coldly: "Whether Lu Zheng or Xiao Qiang, you are all your former capable subordinates of Deng Hong. They are all ambitious traitors. How can the sorrow of the Qin Dynasty be separated from them? Deng Hong, can you regret promoting such people to take power now?"

"What are you going to regret?" Deng Hong sneered: "When I was in power, they were all as unbearable as puppies. Yuan Gong, those with great talents must have ambitions. It only depends on whether you can control them. Now no one can control them, so they will naturally have different thoughts. Can the superiors only use some flies and flies for their own stability? What is the difference between him and self-destruction?"

"Prince, don't you claim to be a loyal minister of the Qin Dynasty? Now that the army is about to set out, the national war is in the forefront, and you will die if you cannot win. Can't you say a few nice words?" Yuan Yiqiu was furious.

"A person who is about to die is good and his voice is sad!" Deng Hong said coldly: "Faith words are unpleasant, good medicine is bitter. Yuan Yiqiu, if you want me to praise me, you must have your opponent. If the court must fight this battle, it will definitely be a defeat, and it will also take away the last breath of the Qin Dynasty. I have not finished it before. In addition to the above questions, if the general commanding the army is responsible for the prince, it is even more absurd. How dare you ask the prince has been on the battlefield since he was born? Talking about war on paper will ruin the country and the people."

"If you don't fight, are you waiting for Mingren to come to the door?"

"Just wait for them to come to the door!" Deng Hong nodded: "Abandon the small town, gather heavy troops to defend important passes, and drag the war with the Ming people. The longer the war, the better. While fighting, the better, send people to negotiate with the Ming people. Don't talk about regaining the heroic spirit of Hulao and revitalizing the Qin people. It is enough to just hope that half of the country can be saved. The Ming people's goal is to compete with the Qi people, and they are unwilling to spend too much time with us. As long as we can hold it up, we can breathe in a lingering state, and then accumulate strength to wait for the conflict between the Ming people and the Qi people to make a difference. Yuan Gong, you must not fight hard, Qin Feng is waiting to fight with us to determine the outcome!"

After hearing Deng Hong's words, Yuan Yiqiu couldn't help but feel moved.

"It is impossible to have no general in the court. His Royal Highness can't bear the burden now. He recruited Bian Wushuang to return to the capital and granted him full power. The emperor governed the government, Bian Wushuang controlled the army, reduced his troops, gradually resisted, and sought peace while fighting. This is what we should do now."

"Summon Bian Wushuang back to Beijing to take over the military power? Prince, aren't you with Bian Wushuang..."
