Deng Hong leaned on the back of the chair with his eyes closed and was silent for a while. He suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Xiang Lian: "Is Qi ready to take action against Ming?"

He nodded slightly to Lian, "Preparation is underway. The little tiger is growing up. We can't wait until he becomes strong before taking action. Taking advantage of the fact that the Chu people are defeated by me and are licking their wounds, we can deal with this ambitious little guy and do it once and for all."

"What makes you so sure?" Deng Hong thought for a moment, "In my opinion, it is impossible to defeat Mingguo in a short time."

Xiang Lian smiled slightly: "Only our Daqi alone, of course it is not possible. Daqi is indeed ready to take action, but as the prince expected, most of our military forces will still be involved in the front line of Kunling Pass of Chu people. There are only a few main troops that can be mobilized, and we are not going to let them die for ordinary county soldiers. The Ming army has strong combat power, and transferring county soldiers to make up for the numbers will only add military achievements to their merits and will not play much practical role. Therefore, if we do not fight, we must transfer elite troops. This is also the reason why we are willing to form an alliance with Qin. Oh, I was wrong, not with Qin, but with the prince."

Deng Hong twisted his beard lightly and his eyes flashed. It has to be said that this proposal was very tempting. If Qi really decided to take action, then the newborn Ming Kingdom would obviously be exhausted. For Qin, this was indeed the best opportunity.

It is better to take these grain-producing areas into your own hands than to wait for people to provide food. A Kaiping County obviously cannot meet the domestic demand of Qin, but the Ming Dynasty was half-hearted and made friends with Deng's family, but supported Xiao Qiang, and even talked with the royal family, which had touched the core interests of Deng's family.

"We attacked in two directions, and the Ming Kingdom was flawless. What's more, the barbarians entrenched in the four counties in the north are also ready to take action. They are inside, we are outside, and this is surrounded outside and blooming inside. Do you think Ming Kingdom can hold on?" Xiang Lian's feet and then said.

"The Yan State of the Barbarian?" Deng Hong laughed: "They are also a dog released by you all?"

"It can also be said." Xiang Lian did not deny it. "Murong Hong was ambitious and thought he had found a good opportunity, but he didn't know that they were just a knife in our Daqi's hand, but this knife was still relatively sharp. They had found a breakthrough in the Ming Dynasty. Once they took action, it would inevitably cause chaos in the Ming Dynasty. In order to quell the domestic rebellion, Qin Feng's main army would definitely be transferred to the four counties in the north. At this time, Qi and Qin suddenly took action, and attacked on both sides, and the Ming Dynasty would be destroyed."

Xiang Hong laughed: "It is indeed possible, but Lord Xiang, I would like to ask, the barbarians are your knife. After using this knife, it will definitely be discounted and thrown away. How can I, Daqin, not become the second knife in your hands?"

Xiang Lian spread his hands: "Prince, the Qin Dynasty has been established for a long time. I think you won't even have this confidence, right? If we have the strength to treat Qin as a knife now, will we still want to win you over to deal with Ming State?"

"That's right!" Deng Hong said proudly: "If Qi wants to do this, you will suffer. There may be nothing else in Daqin, but the people who dare to fight are endless."

"That's true, our main enemy now is still Chu State. It's just a matter of doing it." Xiang Lian smiled.

"What can we get when we help you fight Mingguo?" Deng Hong asked.

"It depends on the ability of the Qin Dynasty." Xiang Lian said: "Prince, if Qin State has the ability to fight to Shayang County and Taiping City, then what's the harm in giving all the entire Ming State to the prince?"

"I don't have such a big appetite, and you can't be so generous." Deng Hong shook his head and said, "Half, with the capital as the boundary, half belongs to us, and half belongs to you."

"Trade!" Xiang Lian smiled and reached out his hand, shaking Deng Hong's big hand tightly. "Prince, September autumn harvest is the day when the four counties in the north launch a large-scale attack, and we will also send troops at this time. I hope that by then, the prince's cavalry will launch a general attack on Zhongping."

"As long as the Qi army moves, our Qin army will definitely move." Deng Hong said affirmatively.

He said goodbye to Lian with satisfaction and left.

In the small living room, Deng Hong did not move, and Dai Shulun did not move either. Unlike Deng Hong, Dai Shulun was full of worry.

"Shulun, what do you think?"

"Prince, the people of Qi are treating us as guns!" Dai Shulun said without hesitation.

"Of course, I understand this, but one thing he said is true. The Ming Dynasty is indeed ambitious. The Qi people are now as bright as the back. When they breathe a little, they will be in a hurry to deal with the Ming people. If they want to deal with the Ming Kingdom and not to bring us up, they will definitely not succeed, because we are not their friends, and they will be their enemies." Deng Hongdao. "And as Xiang Lian said, if we win this battle, our benefits will be huge. Not only my Deng family, but also great news for Qin. If we want to go out, since we attack Chu in the south and it is no longer possible to work in the court, we can only go to the northeast to find trouble for the Ming Kingdom. On this side, I don't need their consent, and the 100,000 Qin troops can act. Once successful, the benefits will be in the future."

Looking at Deng Hong's eyes flashing with bright eyes, Dai Shulun reminded: "Prince, you have not been worried about victory, but you have to worry about defeat first. What if you lose this battle?"

"If all what Xiang Lian said is true, do you think there is a possibility of failure?" Deng Hong asked back.

"First, will Qi State really send troops? Now they are in Dengxian bordering the Ming people. As far as I know, there are only 10,000 people, of which 5,000 were upgraded to field soldiers. The combat effectiveness is extremely doubtful."

"Secondly, once the Qi State really sends troops, will the Chu people sit down and watch? The Chu people have been looking forward to the Ming people launching an offensive against the Qi people to form their second battlefield, but Qin Feng has never agreed. Now the Qi people take the initiative to provoke, and it is exactly what the Chu people want. The Chu people will never sit down and watch the Ming people be destroyed by the Qi people. Even if it is difficult, they will help. Princess Zhaohua is the only sister of the Emperor of Chu. Moreover, Cheng Wuben, the Minister of War of Chu, has a close personal relationship with Qin Feng."

"Third, the rebellion of the four counties in the north may indeed cause chaos in the Ming Dynasty, but if Qin Feng had been prepared and quickly extinguished it, and the Qi people canceled the plan to attack the Ming Dynasty in order to deal with the sudden intensified offensive of Chu. At that time, it would become that we face the Ming people alone. The prince would have the confidence to win? Once there was no, we would lose this ally, lose food, and the supplier of steel, which would not be worth the loss. More importantly, the royal family and the Bian family would inevitably use this as an excuse to attack the prince. How should we deal with it then?"

Dai Shulun asked three questions in a row, which made Deng Hong fall into deep thought.

"Prince, you must think twice before doing this. Once you decide, you will have no way out. You will either live or die." Dai Shulun said.

"What about you?"

"If I follow my minister's ideas, I don't have to pay attention to the proposal of Qi people. The most urgent task now is domestic variables. If Qi people want to defeat Ming Kingdom, then the idea of ​​Xiao Qiang in Hulao Pass would become a flower in the mirror of the moon in the water. The prince could take advantage of this moment to calmly deal with him. Stabilize the domestic situation, suppress the Bian family and the royal family, and do what he said as Li Zhi, and then plan for other things." Dai Shulun said.

Deng Hong pondered for a long time and said, "Shulun, first verify the three questions raised just now. Whether the Qi people will really send troops. If they send troops, they should secretly mobilize troops. How much damage and difficulties can the rebellion of the four counties in the north cause to cause to the Ming Dynasty? I need detailed information. The more detailed the better. I told the company that the barbarian knife was very sharp, and it was definitely not aimless, and he must have some advice."

Dai Shulun nodded, knowing that Deng Hong was afraid that he had already made a decision in his heart, but this decision was not consistent with what he thought. The prince was too anxious, and this was not a good thing.

"I will get detailed information on this as soon as possible for the prince to refer to." Dai Shulun said.

Dai Shulun said goodbye, but Deng Hong became excited. The scene depicted by Xiang Lian was too tempting. Once successful, the Qin people would obtain a large area of ​​fertile territory. Not only Kaiping, Zhongping, Yongping, Shunping, and even going to the capital city, they would become the treasures of the Qin people. This was definitely an unprecedented achievement for Qin. If you really do this, your reputation will be far beyond Li Zhi and you will become the number one person in the minds of the Qin people. Not only will Qin become stronger, but the Deng family will be as stable as Mount Tai. To achieve this, I am afraid that Xiao Qiang, who is half-hearted at Hulao Pass, will come to him again, kneel on the ground with a shy face and lick his toes.

All the difficulties encountered now will be solved. At that time, what is the Bian family? What is the royal family? He has no intention of usurping the throne and seizing power, but it is possible to let the emperor stand up in the deep palace and rule.

He took a deep breath and whispered: "Come."

A guard appeared at the door like a ghost.

"Go to Kaiping County immediately and ask the Second Master to come back to discuss matters." Deng Hong ordered.

When Deng Pu from Kaiping County was rushing to Yongdu by horses, the carriage of the Ming Emperor Qin Feng had already arrived in Zhengyang County. The minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Wang Hou, the county magistrate Liao Hui, the general of Yiminying, Li Wei, the general of the commander of Zhengyang County, and other leading figures from Zhengyang County gathered in Zhengyang County to welcome the emperor's inspection.

At the same time, in Fuyuan County, the four northern counties, a mutiny was slowly beginning. The number one general under Jiang Haokun was the 50th birthday. In order to win over the general, Jiang Haokun personally went to congratulate him. Jiang Haokun, who was slowly set out to the Yuan Mansion surrounded by hundreds of guards, naturally would not have thought that this was his last day in this world. What welcoming him was not the delicious food, but the joint killing of Yuan Pu and the Yan people.
