After teaching the Mahou a lesson, Qin Feng turned around and looked at Guo Jiuling and smiled, "As he said it, he was wrong. Mr. Guo, is it because Qi Chu's affairs have already come to an end?"

Guo Jiuling nodded: "Your Majesty, all the news has been summarized. Generally speaking, we can judge that the matter between Qi and Chu is over."

"How do you say it?" Qin Feng leaned back. Just looking at Guo Jiuling's expression, he knew that the development of things must be in the Ming Dynasty's prior prediction and judgment, and even more unparalleled benefits.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Wuben, is so accurate that it is as expected by Your Majesty. After discovering that things cannot be done, he made a quick decision and stepped back. Now he has arrived in Jinghu County and has begun the construction of the second line of defense of Chu."

"This is a reason. Cheng Wuben has such a stubborn mind. It's a pity that such a person cannot be used by me." Qin Feng sighed.

Guo Jiuling smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there are so many talents in the world. You can't expect everyone to come to our Ming Dynasty. Cheng Wu was outstanding, but my Ming Dynasty talents would not be inferior to him."

"That's true." Qin Feng smiled and said, "Let's continue!"

"Your Majesty, according to the prior plan, our arrangements have been in place. Cheng Wuben retreated to Jinghu County in a panic, but the Jinghu Navy was useless. However, the role of the navy in the future Jinghu Battle is extremely important, and Ning Zhiwen's effectiveness at this time seems to be of great importance. Cheng Wuben doesn't know the foundation of the Ning family. Now, Cheng Wuben has handed over the entire Jinghu navy to Ning Zhiwen."

A smile appeared on Qin Feng's mouth. If he handed it to Ning Zhiwen, it would be equivalent to handing it to Daming. When Daming needs him to move in the future, he will naturally be able to handle it.

"This man is done well."

"Your Majesty said this, the old minister will blush. This matter was handled by the Empress." Guo Jiuling smiled and said, "But our Eagle Nest is not nothing. I sent someone to meet Yang Zhi, and Yang Zhi is now in Jinghu County."

"You mean Zeng Lin, the governor of Jinghu County." Qin Feng said in a little puzzled manner.

"That's right!" Guo Jiuling looked full of admiration: "Our Eagle Nest is just Zeng Lin's idea. Ning Zhiwen alone is alone, and he is weak."

"But I remember Zeng Lin was the first to submit a memorial to express his support for defeating Yang Yihe!" Qin Feng said: "Will Yang Zhi go here be effective?"

"Your Majesty also knows that I was the deputy commander of the domestic guard of Chu. I know more about some things. In short, I was a little confused about Zeng Lin's jump out so quickly at that time, because Zeng Lin and Yang Yi and some relationships that others don't know, but I know. But I can't tell whether Zeng Lin was the first to jump out to break with the Yang family in order to protect herself or for some other reason. I also had the intention to give it a try this time." Guo Jiuling smiled and said, "But the result of this trial was a surprise."

"Is Zeng Lin taken it?" Qin Feng also sat upright.

"Although I haven't made a clear statement, the meaning contained in it is clear." Guo Jiuling said happily. "In Jinghu County, with Zeng Lin and Ning Zhiwen, even if Cheng Wuben has no future and he has gone to a new commander, can he move them again? The momentum has been achieved."

"What's wrong with Min Ruoying?"

"When talking about Min Ruoying's return to China, it's a bit confusing." Guo Jiuling took a breath: "With more than 100,000 eastern border troops as a attack, Min Ruoying broke out with about 40,000 Huofeng Army. On the way back, he fought with Qi for several battles. However, with the strength of the Huofeng Army and the current sad posture, they won't understand what happened later. The Longxiang Army of Qi, the Qi State, was originally an important way to block the Huofeng Army, but they inexplicably withdrew early."

"Wait, do you think of Phoenix Mountain?" Qin Feng asked in surprise: "Didn't Min Ruoying take the line from Wanzhou to Jinghu?"

"Min Ruoying rushed into Phoenix Mountain!" Guo Jiuling said affirmatively.

Qin Feng pondered for a moment, "This matter should be after Cheng Wuben retreated to Jinghu." He looked at Guo Jiuling, "Min Ruoying already distrusts Cheng Wuben very much. She would rather fight to break through the siege than go to Cheng Wuben's land."

"That's the truth!" Guo Jiuling said: "This was originally the best opportunity to weaken Min Ruoying, but the Qi army retreated without fighting, which was equivalent to giving up a big road for Min Ruoying. When Min Ruoying reached Kunling Pass, Yue Kaishan, the general of Zhou Jiyun who had already captured Kunling Pass, had not yet launched a single army, and tens of thousands of Qi troops were in peace with the Chu army."

Qin Feng was stunned for a while before slowly saying: "Cao Yun is so terrible."

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with Cao Yun?"

"Cao Yun judged that something was wrong in Chu, and Min Ruoying had already murdered Cheng Wuben." Qin Feng said lightly: "They keenly saw this from the breakout route of Min Ruoying, not taking Wanzhou, the breakout route, so he wanted to return to the mountain. In order to make Min Ruoying return to the mountain, he even gave up the temptation to wipe out the 40,000 Fire Phoenix Army. It's amazing, it's really amazing. I was wondering, if it were me, and with such an opportunity, would I have the courage to do this? You must know that these 40,000 Fire Phoenix Army were already the last backbone of Chu. If you interrupt him, Chu would be half-performed."

"This is exactly what I can't understand!" Guo Jiuling said.

"Cao Yun wants Min Ruoyun to retain a certain amount of strength and have the capital to deal with Chengwuben after returning to China. And Cao Yun hopes that the shorter the time, the better." Qin Feng glanced at Guo Jiuling, "What would happen if Min Ruoying was killed as a bare-legged and returned to China?"

Guo Jiuling was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized: "I understand. If Min Ruoying becomes a bare-legged person and returns to China, he will first rely on Cheng Wuben's breath. Cheng Wuben still has 30,000 elite troops in his hands, and has already taken root in Jinghu. In this way, Min Ruoying will not have the strength to deal with Cheng Wuben at all, but if Min Ruoying still has tens of thousands of Fire Phoenix troops in his hands, the situation will be very different."

"It's the truth!" Qin Feng said: "From the various signs of Qi, their next important task is to rectify internal affairs. As long as the process begins, with Qi's size, I'm afraid that it will not be able to be taken down in a few years. Moreover, some chaos may occur in the process. The power of Qi must pay attention to the country and cannot take care of Chu. At least it cannot attack Chu with all its strength. Cao Yun is unwilling to give Chu this time to restore national strength. He is still thinking about killing Chu as soon as possible. Lao Guo, think about it, if Min Ruoying can't wait to kill Cheng Wuben as soon as he returns to China, what will happen?"

"Jinghu Lake is in chaos."

"That's what it said." Qin Feng nodded and said, "The Jinghu chaos is in chaos, and Qi takes advantage of the situation. What Cao Yun is concerned about is not the first thing he wants to do. Once Chengwubian leaves, most of the people who are replaced are Luo Liang. How could Cao Yun take Luo Liang in his eyes?"

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Guo Jiuling asked: "If this is the case, our previous arrangement will be a bit inappropriate. I am afraid that when the Qi army attacks, it will destroy Jinghu as if it is destroyed. We will have to intervene in advance. That is a big obstacle to our internal governance. At least, the old minister knows that we really cannot fight, at least this will happen in the past few years."

"Of course, it is to strengthen Cheng Wuben's strength, so that Min Ruoying can't do it, at least until we are ready," Qin Feng said.

"What should I do about this?"

"Xi'er is in Chu State now. With her ability, she should understand this. If I expected it to be right, she would definitely try to hand over the military power of the Chu State to Cheng Wuben during the period when Min Ruoying was away."

"Can this work?"

"Of course, don't forget that the empress dowager is there." Qin Feng smiled: "When Min Ruoying comes back, the wood is already in the air. It won't take him back overnight."

"It's just one word, drag!"

"No," Qin Feng nodded: "Our mission, it's time to set off. We should appear in Shangjing at the same time as Min Ruoying. Then we will start negotiations with Chu."

"The State of Chu puts pressure on the whole process and keeps the whole process." Guo Jiuling understood it.

"Yes, we have to protect the work of the school for two to three years." Qin Feng said. "Until we are ready."

"Your Majesty's wise!"

"In the next time, your focus will be shifted to Qin." Qin Feng said: "In two years, we will solve all the problems of Qin, and take another three years to digest the affairs of Qin and Chu. It is basically like this. The rest is just waiting for him to ferment slowly."

"I understand." Guo Jiuling said: "Qin State has always been in charge of Qianmian. Dai Shulun has been active frequently during this period and has appeared between Qingzhou and Hulao and several places in the capital. It seems that it has reached a critical moment. Our judgment is that the day he takes action must be the day when Deng Hong's granddaughter Deng Shu gets married. But until now, we still don't understand how Dai Shulun can seize the military power of Hulao Pass? Xiao Qiang is not an easy person."

"I don't care how he deals with Xiao Qiang. I only care about how we use this after the incident." Qin Feng smiled. "Lu Dayuan must be prepared. Our reason must be open and upright at that time."

"There is no problem with Lu Dayuan's troops. I'm afraid that Bian Wushuang will definitely intervene at that time."

"Then let him be more chaotic. The more chaotic the Qin State, the more we are sure." Qin Feng laughed: "At that time, the forces of several Qin State will be in chaos, and the Ma family and son will be in a hurry. Bian Wushuang, Xiao Qiang, and Lu Jing, who is truly loyal to the royal family."
