Xiang Lian's words were very unpleasant, but Deng Hong had to admit that the other party was telling the truth, and it hit the nail on the Deng family's current life gate. . The fastest update

How can it not decline after its peak? Isn’t it a question that Deng’s family must think about now? The emperor has taken action and is cutting off Deng’s flesh and blood piece by piece. If this behavior is allowed to continue, even if he is as strong as Deng, how long can he withstand such continuous bloodletting?

Kaiping King! The reward of this title is full of malice. I believe that when the Ming Kingdom hears the name of the title, they will immediately think that Kaiping County is their territory!

In order to overthrow Wu Jian, a former Yue who was a tyrant from Qi, Li Zhi strongly supported the Taiping Army led by Qin Feng. Taking advantage of Luo Yishui's rebellion, he worked together to overthrow the Former Chao Dynasty in one fell swoop, dismantle the Luo Yishui rebels, and let Qin Feng's Taiping Army take control of the Former Yue Zheng power and establish the Ming Kingdom. This was, in the view of the time, a great victory for Qin's foreign policy. Because the Former Yue regime that attached Qi and hated Qin no longer existed.

When the Taiping Army first established a regime, in the view of Qin and even Li Zhi at that time, they needed a long time to appease the country and consolidate the regime. At the same time, due to the collapse of Wu Jian, their relationship with Qi could not be much better, which was undoubtedly the most beneficial to Qin.

In the initial period, things were indeed as expected by Qin. The relationship between Ming and Qin obviously rose to an excellent level. The shipment of grain, steel, and other various commodities from Yue State was greatly alleviated the conflicts in Qin State. In Qin State, the price of grain that has been high in Qin State fell rapidly, and the transport of a large amount of steel greatly supplemented the empty arsenal of Qin State.

But what Qin did not expect was that the newly born Ming Dynasty developed too quickly, and Qin Feng's speed of pacifying the country far exceeded their expectations. Except for the four counties in the north, the four counties were still not under their control, and the original territory of the Qianyue quickly integrated into the Ming regime with extremely fast speed.

Even in Deng Pu's view, Qin Feng was not willing to spend his time in exerting troops for many years, so he was unwilling to extinguish them immediately. In fact, as long as Qin Feng was willing, the four northern counties would not last long. Once the four northern counties were under the command of the Ming Kingdom, the entire territory of the Ming Kingdom would be completely quelled, without the internal bonds, and the development of the Ming Kingdom would have a new round of acceleration.

This made Deng Hong feel a sense of fear.

Their real purpose of helping the Taiping Army win was not to face a great enemy that was much more terrifying than before. They thought that the chaos in the Ming Dynasty would last for a very long time, but reality gave them a big mouth.

It is certainly abominable that Wu Jian, the former Yue Dynasty, was willing to be a Qi man, but their army could not pose a practical threat to the Qin people. At most, it would be just a restraint, but the Ming Dynasty was different. Li Zhi had a very high evaluation of the Ming army, and Deng Pu, who had fought many times with Qin Feng, was extremely vigilant about the Ming army. Moreover, judging from the journey of the Ming army along the way, their combat effectiveness and ability to implement strategies and tactics are even more terrifying.

In Kaiping County, do the Ming people really don’t want to take it back?

Looking at Xiang Lian, Deng Hong's face slowly calmed down, he picked up the teacup, took a sip, "What does Lord Xiang mean?"

Xiang Lian smiled slightly. Deng Hong was already moved by himself, so the next thing would be much easier.

"Prince, Deng's family is in power. I believe that he will not inherit Li Zhi's foreign relations when he was alive. He must have wanted to go out, right?"

Deng Hong said slightly, "Yes, the Qin Dynasty avoids the western region, and the area is bitter and cold. No matter how hard the people work, they will not improve much. Only by going out can we strengthen the country, strengthen the army, and enrich the people. This is no secret, and there is no need to hide it."

"Do you think Bian Wushuang will support your decision? It is easy to change the national policy that Qin State has adhered to for many years, and the royal family will not agree!" Xiang Lian smiled and said: "More importantly, if it succeeds, it will be the contribution of Deng's family. If it fails, the Qin royal family will have to bear an unbearable weight."

"Of course we will succeed." Deng Hong sneered.

"The prince's original intention was to make friends with Ming, get more food, steel and other support from Ming, and then launch an attack on Chu, first seize Anyang County and other places, and then take advantage of the inability to fight between the Chu army and the Qi army to march towards the hinterland of Chu and seize fertile land for Qin, right?" Xiang Lian said.

Deng Hong's face was slightly dark. What Xiang Lian said was exactly what he was thinking.

"But now, the situation has changed. The southern border troops have been out of your control. Prince, do you think Bian Wushuang will cooperate with you if you want to launch a war against Chu?" Xiang Lian asked.

Deng Hong let out a breath of turbid air and Xiang Lian said it to the point. This is the reason why he supported Yang Zhi to launch a mutiny to overthrow Bian Wushuang. Bian Wushuang was in that position and his plan to the southern expedition was impossible to be smoothly pushed away, but things did not go as expected. Yang Zhi not only failed, but also lost his life, which caused his plan to suffer a fundamental setback.

He shook his head slowly.

"So, now we can make a conclusion. Your plan for the southern expedition will definitely not be supported. Not only will Bian Wushuang oppose it, but the royal family will not agree. Because victory is due to Deng's contribution. If you lose, Bian Wushuang will lose his troops and lose his generals. The royal family will lose a big arm and will no longer be able to compete with Deng's family in China." Xiang Lian smiled and said, "So, your current position, and even the status of Deng's family, is in danger."

"Speaking alarmist." Dai Shulun sneered.

Xiang Lian did not think it was offensive, and then said, "If this situation is allowed to continue, the royal power will become stronger and bigger, and one will be reduced and the other will be discouraged. Prince, you will be embarrassed. So Prince, if you want to turn the situation around and gain the advantage again, then you need a fundamental victory outside to gain absolute support from the people and win supreme honor, just like Li Zhi, otherwise, Deng's result will be boiled by the court as I said, and will be cut off by the strength bit by bit until it is defeated."

"Since you can't fight against the Chu soldiers, where can you fight against you? Could it be that you attacked Qi?" Dai Shulun sarcastically said: "Is it that I have been persuaded to the Lord with a sincere heart to let our Qin launch a war on you?"

Xiang Lian laughed.

"Mr. Dai is really good at joking. How could you ignore such a good goal?"

Deng Hong looked straight at Xiang Lian: "So you are trying to persuade me to launch a battle against Mingguo?"

"That's right!" Xiang Lian curled his smile and said seriously.

"Prince, don't listen to his nonsense." Dai Shulun said angrily: "If you want to fight against Ming, you can only use the Second Master's army. However, the Ming army has strong combat effectiveness and the domestic political situation is quite stable. We are united in this battle. We have no confidence in winning. The Qi people are determined to alleviate the threat from Ming, but they are unwilling to send troops, but they encourage us to send troops. If they are defeated, Deng will hurt their roots. At that time, they will be defeated forever."

Xiang Lian smiled and said, "Who said that our Great Qi will not send troops?"

"A lie." Dai Shulun sneered: "You Qi people and the Chu people are fighting hard now. Over the years, what you have been in charge is to prevent your flanks from being threatened. Whether you attack Qianyue or support Qin Feng, who has a grudge against the Chu people, they are all aiming for this goal. Over the years, the land has been in constant wars, all thanks to your Qi people. Now that the Ming Kingdom is rising, you want our Qin to pull your teeth for you, don't even think about it."

"What Master Dai said is indeed the policy of our Da Qi in the past, but it is also the same time. Now the times are different, so the policies will change naturally. I believe that whether it is Master Dai or the prince, they all understand this." Xiang Lian looked at the two and said, "The State of Chu has been suppressed by General Cao Yun, the Prince of the Da Qi, and the front line has been pushed into the territory of Chu. The people of Chu were unable to counterattack for a while, and the Da Qi has already made a free move. As Master Dai said, the rise of the Ming people is not what we want to see. In the past two years, we have been preparing for this matter. Now everything is ready, and we are only in the east wind."

"Let's play the striker?" Deng Hong shook his head with a smile: "Ming Kingdom is still the largest grain supplier in Daqin. The steel provider is to hit them, which means to cut off my arms."

"It is provided by people, so how can I control it in my own hands." Xiang Lian said: "As Mingren becomes stronger, their evil intentions are becoming more and more obvious. Did they plan to kill General Li Zhi, but did the only benefit from the Deng family? They mix oil with Deng family in the open, and secretly communicate with Xiao Qiang and the Qin royal family. I don't believe that Deng hasn't heard of it?"

"I know everything about you, but I will tell you the truth. We are not sure of winning against Ming Kingdom. I think the powerful combat power of the Ming army should have experience. The thousands of bandits planned to intercept Princess Zhaohua in Izumo County under the attack of more than a thousand Ming Army's Pili Camp, and they collapsed in an instant and died completely. Outside Izumo County, more than 2,000 captured bandits flowed into blood."

Deng Hong uncovered Xiang Lian's scars, and Xiang Lian's cultivation was very good, without any anger: "The stronger the Ming army is, the more we should take advantage of his lack of strength to remove them. Otherwise, they will continue to be our opponents, and the first thing that will be poisoned by them is your Daqin. It is not that the Ming people will never provoke Daqi for a while, but the Qin people are now focusing on internal strife and their national strength is seriously damaged. It is a good opportunity for them to plan. At least, they will think about getting back the lost land. Prince, can you never think about this before?"
