Chapter eight hundred and thirty eight: the key to the problem
Feilong Mountain, Homesickness Platform.? The Emperor of Qi stood alone on the spacious platform, slowly punching. Of course, even though the here has always been strict with the imperial guards, it was still impossible for the emperor to come here alone when he appeared here. But now everyone is standing far away.
These palace ladies who have served the emperor for many years know the emperor's habits and will only come here when the emperor is facing major decisions or is very angry.
But like today, I went to the homesick platform at night, which was really the first time. It can be seen how angry the emperor was. The people in the palace were trembling and even lowered their breathing as much as possible. The emperor was not a tolerant person, especially when he was angry, during this period, anything he didn't like would be the price of his life.
The northwest Lingchuan County came from the warning message. The Ming and Chu army joined forces to invade Lingchuan County. The Qi generals Wen Yishan, Wen Sen, and Zhou Huaian were all killed in battle. Yu Qing was captured. The Ming and Chu coalition forces are now divided into two groups and are approaching Lingchuan County.
Cao Hui walked up the homesickness platform along the long steps. Looking at the emperor slowly waving his fists and feet in the middle of the platform, he stood aside silently.
Cao Tiancheng slowly closed his posture, stood up straight, paused for a moment, walked to the edge of the platform, holding the railing carved by white jade, and looking at the Chang'an City, which was as bright as the galaxy in the sky.
The emperor did not move, and Cao Hui did not move.
After a long time, Cao Tiancheng reached out and summoned: "Xiao Huizi, come here."
Cao Hui walked to the emperor and fell slightly behind: "Your Majesty! Lingchuan..."
Before he could finish speaking, Cao Tiancheng had already interrupted him and pointed at the lights of Chang'an City: "Xiao Huizi, are you beautiful?"
"Extremely beautiful!" Cao Tiancheng nodded.
"Whenever I am angry, I will come here." Cao Tiancheng smiled and said, "The prosperous and brilliant Chang'an lights can calm my anger. This is the capital of Daqi, the most prosperous place in the world, the center of the world's wealth and power."
Cao Hui smiled and said, "The most powerful person in the world is also sitting in the center of Chang'an and wielding the world."
Cao Tiancheng laughed: "There are always difficulties, but in front of Da Qi, what are some difficulties? When Emperor Li Qing unified the world, there were still twists and turns. He was beaten several times and could hardly turn over. But in the end, wouldn't he still succeed?"
"Your Majesty said that our foundation is many times better than the Emperor back then, and Your Majesty's talents are not inferior to the Emperor." Cao Hui said.
"Xiao Huizi, this flattery has been a little too much." Cao Tiancheng glanced at Cao Hui sideways: "I still have this self-knowledge. Emperor Li Qing created an era. What I want now is just to follow his footsteps and work hard to restore his glory back then."
"The times create heroes. Your Majesty. Thousands of years ago was very different from now. Or Emperor Li Qing was born in this era, and it may not be possible to do better than Your Majesty." Cao Hui said in a deep voice.
Cao Tiancheng smiled and shook his head.
"What do you think about this incident?"
"Your Majesty, I have let Your Majesty down. The barbarians lost too badly, and Guo Xiancheng did not achieve his previous goal. The defeat of the Qin people was even more unexpected, which caused the situation today." Cao Hui bowed his head and apologized.
"The barbarians are just a pawn crossing the river, and they can be used to muddy water. Their failure is as expected by me. The defeat of the Qin people is a bit surprising. Although they have great internal friction, Deng Pu was defeated by Qin Feng cleanly on the battlefield, and killed the grandmaster with a peak level nine. Xiao Huizi, do you know who I think of?" Cao Tianchengdao.
Cao Hui was shocked: "Your Majesty is too noble, you think of him. At that time, Qin Feng was afraid that he would be a line away from the Grandmaster's Realm. Besides, there were He Rentu and Huo Guang, and how Deng Pu died was heard. In my opinion, it is probably the Ming people's ** formation, and the purpose is to increase their morale. Your Majesty, the Ming people's lives were hanging on a line at that time. Such a thing could make them very excited."
"You have a reason. No one can find out the truth except for the wise man. But it is really surprising that Qin Feng was promoted to the Grandmaster at such an age." Cao Tiancheng looked at Cao Hui: "Qin Feng is already a Grandmaster, there is no doubt. Xiao Huizi, you are behind."
Cao Hui lowered his head in shame.
"Of course, personal force is always just an auxiliary on the road ahead. No matter how high his personal cultivation is, it is just a bravery for an ordinary man. It is hard to resist the general trend. What I admire about Qin Feng is not because he became a master at a young age, but because of his mind and ability to create general trends. Hehe, this time he wants to force me to the corner!" Cao Tiancheng gently tapped the white jade railing.
"He is just wishful thinking." Cao Hui said softly.
"Tell me what you think!" Cao Tianchengdao.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the Ming Kingdom does not have the ability to start a full war with us at all. Even if the three kingdoms of Qin, Chu and Ming join forces, they will be at most aligned with our Great Qi. It is still unknown who will win. It's just that Your Majesty is concerned about Dawn. Our Great Qi has always avoided such a situation, so that the people will suffer, so that Qin Feng can't stand it step by step. If the war is really going to start a full war, I believe that it is not our Great Qi who can't stand it first, but their Ming Kingdom." Cao Hui said.
"So," Cao Tianchengdao.
"Your Majesty, I will first talk about Qin. Qin was severely damaged by Ming. Because of the domestic situation, I was forced to sign a alliance under the city by the Ming people. From court officials to the people, there are countless people who resent the Ming people. Will the Qin people strictly implement such a covenant? It is definitely not. The Qin people will not go to war with us for the Ming people and take the lee from the fire."
"This is not bad. Ma Yue is now thinking about taking all the power into his own hands. Now the Qin people have lost a lot of national strength and going to war with us is not their option. However, the political situation in their country is somewhat subtle. Xiao Qiang is a man with a higher heart and is determined to be Deng Hong's second. If there is a advantage to take, he might play the border drum for Qin Feng."
"Xiao Qiang is a man with great ambition and talent. I dare to assert that this person will definitely not live long. He either dies at the hands of their emperor or is killed by Deng Hong's remaining troops. Your Majesty, the ghost shadow detects, Deng Hong's confidant Dai Shulun is now active and his whereabouts are extremely mysterious. I suspect that Dai Shulun is now trying to attack Xiao Qiang. Moreover, Xiao Qiang actually submitted a memorial to the emperor at this critical moment, claiming that he would continue to perform the marriage between his son and Deng Hong's granddaughter. Isn't this a mourning drum for himself?"
Cao Tiancheng laughed: "Xiao Qiang can be ignored, and Guo Xiancheng did not take him seriously. Tell me, the Chu people?"
Cao Hui nodded: "The special envoy sent by the Ming people to Shangjing City was stranded there. The Chu people quarreled fiercely in the court. People like Cheng Wuben actually saw it very clearly. At this time, the Ming and Chu coalition forces were not beneficial to the Chu State, because the Ming people were just bluffing. Once the Chu people were fighting with our country in full swing, it would not mean that they could stop. Cheng Wuben and Qin Feng have been working together for many years, and they probably know Qin Feng's background more clearly than anyone else."
Cao Tiancheng nodded and said, "Cheng Wuben is indeed good. He could see clearly that Qin Feng just wanted to use the same trick again to provoke a war between Chu and our Qi. He wanted to make profits. Qin Feng not only wanted to weaken our Great Qi, but also wanted to weaken Chu at the same time. He was vicious and his heart could be punished."
"It's a pity that in the Chu court, Luo Liang, the pro-war faction, only saw the current predicament of our Da Qi, but ignored the traps that the Ming people dug for them. Luo Liang suffered a great loss under the prince's hands. In recent years, he has been losing troops and generals, which has made the court and the country dissatisfied and always wanted to win a game. This time, he was ready to move. Emperor Min Ruoying of Chu was hesitant, which even allowed the Ming people to see the opportunity. I believe that the battle in Lingchuan started because of this, Qin Feng wanted to give Min Ruoying a reassurance." Cao Hui analyzed.
"From the information we collected later, the Ming people took the lead in attacking. After annihilated Yu Qing's troops, Wu Teng of Xinning could not resist the temptation and sent troops. However, what is strange is that after the two armies took over the two counties of Leye and Anju, the Chu people advanced rapidly and made great progress. The Ming Dynasty's Pili Camp, which had been quite fierce before, seemed to suddenly change into an army, slowly climbing like a turtle, and now it is a hundred miles behind Wu Teng's army."
Cao Tiancheng smiled and said, "This is very telling the problem. The Ming army's intention is not in Lingchuan County at all. They just want to provoke Qi Chu's battle again."
"Your Majesty, the key is not in Lingchuan County, nor in Kunling Pass, but in Shayang County, Feng County." Cao Hui waved his hand vigorously, "I believe that as long as you defeat Qin Feng's army in Feng County, everything will come to an abrupt end. When the Chu State Council becomes honest, the Qin people will retreat into Hulao Pass, and Qin Feng's special envoy for peace will probably come to Chang'an."
"So, this battle is inevitable, and it must be moved as soon as possible. It must be completed before Min Ruoying makes up his mind to attack us again." Cao Tiancheng said lightly: "No, very good. What you said is not the least of what I think. I have punched a set of punches here and finally figured out this truth. I must meet Qin Feng's true words."
"Your Majesty, Guo Xiancheng needs more troops. Now his troops in Fengxian are obviously insufficient to fight Qin Feng!"
