Chapter 1080: Terrible collaborators
Bian Wushuang has a high opinion of himself and is disdainful to compare himself with Lu Zhen. If Qin Feng leads his army to surrender with the power of defeating the Qin court, it will naturally be forced by the times and will be no different from Lu Zhen.
Bian Wushuang naturally refused. Even if he had to surrender to the Ming Dynasty in the end, Bian Wushuang would let himself step into the threshold of the Ming Dynasty with great glory and become a member of the Ming Dynasty court.
To achieve this step, it is naturally not possible in Qin State. No matter what, he is a Qin minister. If he leads the Luoying Mountains army to stab the Qin Emperor Ma Yue, he will inevitably be dirty and leave an indelible stain on himself. So he has to wait. After Qin Emperor was completely defeated by Qin Feng, he will lead his troops to Chu State. His deal with Qin Feng is naturally to contribute a great effort to the Ming Dynasty to seize the Chu State.
Of course, this was under the premise that Qin Feng defeated Ma Yue. Bian Wushuang mentioned one thing earlier that if the Ming Dynasty only had a miserable victory and he could see the opportunity of the Seiju side to even defeat the Ming army, he would not let it go.
If Ma Yue eventually lost, but also severely damaged the Ming army, Bian Wushuang shouted, with his family background and the reputation he had in Qin, he would probably have gathered a considerable force. At that time, he would not be unable to do a career in the name of restoring Qin and revengeing Qin emperor.
This is a real politician who is just like a fake one. No matter what he does, he will leave a few choices for himself, and these choices are all placed naked on the table, which is a open and open plot.
Qin Feng doesn't like such people, but he also knows that it is precisely such people who are qualified collaborators. They can seek benefits and avoid harm and choose the most beneficial path for them. The biggest problem is whether they can become their choice. Only by being a good person can such people surrender.
When the water is clear, there is no fish; when the people are observant, there is no disciple. Qin Feng cannot ask everyone in his empire to be loyal to him. In fact, even now, among the countless important officials of the Ming Dynasty, except for those who followed him when they were in a state of humble state, Qin Feng was really unsure who could rely on his own good fortune.
Everyone works with Qin Feng, to put it bluntly, it means the word "interest". With you, you can make a fortune, be famous in history, and enjoy wealth and glory, and you will naturally be able to unite a large number of people. But if you follow you, just eating braised vegetables, trembling, and not being able to protect yourself, how can you ask others to be loyal to you!
Everyone has their own goals and their own wishes. Just like Old Man Xiao, the Minister of Rites who is now running around with his seventies and eighty-year-olds running around in the Ming Dynasty, is he completely for the foundation of the Ming Dynasty forever? No! He is for the reputation behind him and the honor behind him, but while he is working for his little thoughts, he also mobilizes the cultural and educational cause of the Ming Dynasty. This person is the leader of scholars in Yue Kingdom, and his clamor around is much more efficient than a single imperial edict from the court.
Mr. Liu was completely loyal to himself back then? Of course, not. In such a desperate situation at that time, Mr. Liu had to choose one side to ensure the continuation of the Liu clan and the future of the Shayang clan. He chose himself, who was not famous and weak at that time, proved his unique vision and made the Shayang clan's team occupy an important force in the Ming Dynasty's government. Whether it is the Ming military, political, or business, the leaders of the Shayang clan are all well-known and have a significant influence on the Ming Dynasty.
And myself is just a glue for them to achieve their goals, a leader, because only themselves can unite these various people and unite them. Otherwise, everyone will fall apart and nothing can be done.
An emperor who hopes that everyone is loyal to him or is either a madman or a fool. As an emperor, all you have to do is balance the strength of all parties and then achieve the goals everyone wants. If you can integrate the goals of these people with your own goals and work together for this big goal, you can be called a wise emperor.
The Ming Dynasty is now thriving because it has done this, and Qin is about to destroy it, and it is also because they have not done this well. People's hearts are separated and each has their own ideas. How can the country be defeated? Chu State is now embarking on the old path of Qin. What Min Ruoying thinks is different from what the ministers think, and the scholars and the people think, and they go in the opposite direction. They will naturally move further and further away. The bond between the two sides will eventually become tense and tighter under such centrifugal force.
Bian Wushuang is undoubtedly an extremely powerful person. Originally, Qin Feng underestimated him because he lost to Deng Hong in the Qin domestic battle, but after this incident, Qin Feng completely reversed this view. This person is much better than those under his command.
Working with such a person is really trembling and walking on thin ice, because maybe when this person can seize the opportunity and bite you hard, causing you to hurt.
But by the same token, if you can suppress such a person and use him well, you can also become the sharpest blade in your hand.
Looking at Bian Wushuang opposite, Qin Feng was aroused by a sense of heroism. If he subdues such a guy, his sense of accomplishment would be extraordinary.
"Your Majesty, Chu is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and the country is shaking. However, the Min family has been operating for hundreds of years, and its foundation is particularly important. The Empress's trip to Chu is actually to shake the foundation of Chu. Now the war is everywhere in Chu. Although it is not yet a climax, it will eventually become bigger and bigger once this door is opened. This is the most profound but most hidden crisis of Chu. Unfortunately, no one of the monarchs and ministers of Chu can see this clearly. They are frightened by the Qi army. Now they are thinking about resisting the Qi people. Once they realize it, it is too late." Bian Wushuang talked freely. "And the most dangerous and urgent task facing Chu is the dispute between Min Ruoying and Cheng Wuben."
Qin Feng smiled and nodded.
"Min Ruoying dares not kill Cheng Wuben now because the Jinghu defense line cannot be separated from Cheng Wuben. Luo Liang is a talented general, but not a handsome man. After this great defeat, I believe Min Ruoying has seen this clearly. Therefore, although Min Ruoying hates Cheng Wuben deeply, she can only knock down her teeth and swallow it in her stomach. However, this tolerance will not ease over time, but will make the anger worse and deeper." Bian Wushuang said.
"You're right. In order to build this line of defense, Cheng Wuben had no choice but to look like a powerful minister and use his troops to go to Beijing. If it weren't for resisting Zhou Ji's full-scale attack, he would have turned against each other long ago." Qin Feng said.
"Cheng Wuben was a major obstacle for the Ming Dynasty to manage the Chu State. If this person does not die, the Ming Dynasty would not invade Chu State in large quantities, but the Ming Dynasty could not kill this person himself. This is not only a personal friendship, but also a matter of people's desire for the people of Chu. Therefore, if Min Ruoying can only kill Cheng Wuben, it will be Min Ruoying who will lose his ministers, but Min Ruoying will be disappointed. At least in Jinghu, no one will think of this Emperor Chu."
"So you want to enter Chu, which will cause an external factor that Min Ruoying can kill and dares to kill Cheng Wuben!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
Bian Wushuang laughed: "That's true. Your Majesty, the Qin Dynasty was destroyed in the Ming Dynasty, and Bian was alone and led his troops to Chu State. He was a loser and had no place to rely on. He had no other way except to lose to the Emperor of Chu. Min Ruoying would naturally see this, so as long as he entered the State of Chu, he would definitely become the target of the Emperor of Chu."
"The Bian family is unparalleled, and is not inferior to Cheng Wuben. Once you enter Chu and surrender to Min Ruoying, you will give Min Ruoying the spirit of killing Cheng Wuben." Qin Feng nodded and said.
"Yes, Mr. Bian dares not underestimate himself in his military strategy. Even if he is not as weak as Chengwubian, he will not be much weaker. At least he has the strength to compete with him. Unlike Luo Liang, although he is the master of the Grandmaster, he is brave and brave in the battles of the Bun army, without any highlights." Bian Wushuang said proudly.
"When I enter Chu, the Min family will inevitably let me march into the six eastern counties in order to open up the situation and form a horn with Jinghu. If this happens, the Emperor of Chu's dependence on Cheng Wuben will be greatly reduced. At this time, Cheng Wuben's death will come. Once Cheng Wuben dies, in Chu, those who can compete with me in the military strategy will be gone, and sooner or later the command of Chu's army will fall into my hands."
"Once you have the military command of Chu, how can I guarantee that you will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and work for the Ming Dynasty?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.
"Why should Your Majesty ask clearly? Is it a matter of military action in the war? The corner of Chu State will probably be dug by Your Majesty in the next few years. Even if I reach my goal, how can I compete with the Ming Dynasty? The water without a source will eventually dry up. And as mentioned earlier, as long as Your Majesty can remain so strong, Bian Wushuang will of course be the most loyal person in front of Your Majesty." Bian Wushuang said with a smile.
"You are such a terrible collaborator." Qin Feng pointed at the other party. "Once you enter Chu, Min Ruoying may be able to adjust your troops in all directions. At that time, your subordinates are all over Chu State, and they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and they are afraid that the command will not work."
"I think this is exactly what Your Majesty expects?" Bian Wushuang laughed: "If I, Bian Wushuang, have other ideas, then this kind of dispatch will naturally be unfavorable to me. But if I cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, there will be unlimited benefits at that time. The general trend will be achieved by all parties. The Chu State can take a moment to respond."
