pacified the domestic turmoil, exterminated Jiang Haokun, and ended the barbarian regime Dayan; To resist the invasion of Qin, Zhongping County fought in Hengdian, killed Deng Pu and Deng Su, waved his troops like a bamboo, defeated the 100,000 army of Qin, recovered Kaiping County that was taken by the Qin people, and forced the Qin people to sign an alliance under the city; In Shayang County, with only two field battalions, they withstood the strong attack of tens of thousands of Qi troops, and under the situation that the overall situation of the first two battlefields had been decided, in the face of the steady stream of reinforcements from the Ming army to Shayang County, the Qi people chose to retreat.
Three battles, two wins and one draw, the world shook, and because of these three wars, the status of the Ming Kingdom jumped from the original Tian to the end, and jumped to the third. Even in the eyes of the Qin and Qi people, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army has jumped to the second place in the world, leaving the Chu people behind.
The one who was most shaken was, of course, the state of Chu.
When the envoy of the Ming State arrived in the capital of the State of Chu to meet with Emperor Min Ruoying and put forward the proposal of the Three Kingdoms to attack the State of Qi, a fierce controversy broke out in the court of the State of Chu.
What the envoy of the Ming State did not expect was that the most fierce opposition was actually the current military department Shangshu Cheng Wuben, who had a very close relationship with the Ming State. This result also made the whole Chu State extremely surprised, in everyone's minds, shouldn't it be Cheng Wuben who supports the two sides to form an alliance to attack Qi State together?
Cheng Wuben stayed in the Ming Kingdom for a long time, and when Qin Feng was still just a local warlord, Cheng Wuben even joined the ranks of the Taiping Army, gave advice to the Taiping Army, and planned actions against the former Yue again and again.
No one would have thought that Cheng Wu would have objected, not even Min Ruoying.
Cheng Wu was originally an old minister of the previous dynasty, and he was the only courtier in this dynasty who was awarded the title of the prince, and he had a group of followers, and his strong opposition made this court discussion unhappy. After the dispersal of the dynasty, Min Ruoying left Cheng Wuben and Luo Liang behind and recruited them to the small study.
The attitude of these two people towards this war made Min Ruoying a little distressed, when the Ming State was in danger before, Cheng Wuben jumped up and down above the court, thinking that the State of Chu should immediately send troops to attack the State of Qi. However, Luo Liang tried his best to oppose it, believing that it was hard to win a respite, and the army should be repaired and reorganized. And this time, after the great victory of the Ming army, the army drove to Fengxian, and there were signs of a big fight with the Qin army, and the envoy seeking an alliance also arrived in Shangjing, Luo Liang raised his hands and agreed to send troops immediately to attack Qi with the Ming State, but this time, the opposition became Cheng Wuben.
These two people have never been able to pee in a pot.
This annoyed Min Ruoying a little.
"Cheng Gong, what do you mean?" Min Ruoying knocked on the table, "Isn't now the best opportunity?" The Three Kingdoms have not formed such a climate? If you don't take this opportunity to weaken the Qi State fiercely, will there be such a good thing in the future? After this village, there is no such shop. β
"Your Majesty, Cheng Gong is against this for the sake of opposition." Luo Liang snorted coldly on the side. Luo Liang's cold words were very damning, meaning that Cheng Wuben was only against him Luo Liang.
When these words came out, Min Ruoying's face really changed a little, looking at Cheng Wuben, he didn't speak, but his eyes proved that he seemed to believe Luo Liang's words.
A hint of sigh flashed in Cheng Wuben's eyes, but it was only a flash.
"Your Majesty, this time is also another time. When we lead troops to fight, we often say that the strength of the army is like water, and it changes with the shape, but in fact, how is this not the case in national politics? Cheng Wuben said softly: "At that time, the Ming State was in danger, internal and external troubles, and there would be the possibility of destroying the country at any time, if Qin Feng was defeated, it was not the Qin State that would get the greatest benefit, but the Qi State, so that the Qi State accounted for most of the territory of the Ming State, and the power rose sharply, and the power was even worse, and our efforts over the years were all lost, so at that time, I strongly advocated sending troops to attack the Qi State on a large scale, forcing the Qi State to turn around and meet us, and share most of the pressure for the Ming State, so that they could concentrate on dealing with the Qin State." At that time, the barbarians were already prisoners of the Ming Kingdom, and I wasn't worried about them, I was just worried about the Qin people. Therefore, my suggestion is not only to send troops to attack the Qi State, but also to launch a large-scale counteroffensive in the Luoying Mountains as well. β
Speaking of this, he paused, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's a pity that Your Majesty didn't want to listen to the advice of the minister, but accepted General Luo's statement and stopped the army to raise the war." β
"The final result is not bad, which proves that His Majesty's decision at that time was not wrong!" Luo Liang said coldly: "The Ming Kingdom survived, and our army was rested and reorganized, and now when the combat effectiveness has returned to the peak, the fighting spirit is high, and it is a good time to send troops." β
Cheng Wuben looked at Luo Liang: "General Luo, that's not how the account is calculated. It is true that the Ming Kingdom survived, not only survived, but they also won beautifully, but, I want to ask, what did we gain in this great war that swept the Three Kingdoms? Could it be that the army has been rested? We have been recuperated, so what about the Qi army under the command of Cao Yun, has it also been recuperated, replenished, and strengthened? β
Luo Liang was stunned for a moment, and was about to refute, but Cheng Wuben ignored him again, and turned his head to look at Min Ruoying: "Your Majesty, we have missed the best opportunity." And now the so-called Three Kingdoms Joint Resistance Qi proposed by the Ming people, in the eyes of the ministers, is just a trick and a fictitious thing. β
"How can it be something that doesn't exist?" Min Ruoying shook her head: "Yang Qing just reported the latest information to me, it was Qin Feng who reorganized two battle camps of 10,000 troops after killing Murong Hong, plus more than 3,000 people in his personal guard battalion, is marching towards Shayang County, and now most of the main forces of the Ming army have basically arrived in Shayang County, is he making such a big move, is it just for his army to have an armed parade?" β
"Your Majesty!" Cheng Wuben shook his head firmly: "Qin Feng has always been far-sighted in his work, and he has already planned everything he does, and he has deep feelings about this. β
"Do you mean that His Majesty the Emperor of our Great Chu is short-sighted?" Luo Liang is neither yin nor yang, and he came again.
Cheng Wuben finally became angry, turned his head and glared at the other party angrily: "Luo Liang, we are just talking about things today, you are so yin and yang, do you have the dignity of a minister?" β
was angrily reprimanded by Cheng Wuben, Luo Liang's old face suddenly couldn't hang up, and he was about to stand up as soon as he slapped the table, Min Ruoying snorted, and Luo Liang could only sit down with anger.
"Listen to Cheng Gong."
"Your Majesty, why do I say that the so-called Three Kingdoms Resistance to Qi is just a non-existent thing? Please think about it carefully, will Qin Guo really do it? Yes, Xiao Qiang's 50,000 Qin troops did get out of the Tiger Prison, but so what? Qin is now in turmoil, 100,000 border troops were defeated, Deng Pu Deng Su died in battle, military defeat is one, political chaos is another, Deng fell, the Qin royal family is busy taking power, what about Xiao Qiang, this person is bent on preserving strength, wants to become the second of the Deng family, such a country, an army, can there be hope? β
Min Ruoying nodded slightly, quite moved.
"I dare to assert that the so-called dispatch of troops by the Qin people was just forced by Qin Feng and had to put on a show. Of course, this will indeed contain some of the Qi people's troops, but the Qi people will not be fools, they will soon be able to find out the details of the Qin people. Cheng Wuben shook his head and said, "Qin people, there is no need to count on it." But Mingren, would you really want to fight with Qi Guoda? β
"Why not? The two of them held Shayang and blocked Guo Chengxian, and their combat effectiveness was quite strong! Min Ruoying asked rhetorically.
"Your Majesty, you saw the result, but you didn't see the process, Liu Xingwen's Houtu camp was wiped out, Chen Jialuo's Tiger Battalion suffered heavy losses, and even Princess Zhaohua was surrounded at that time. Although Qin Feng defeated the Qin army and achieved a major victory in the battle against Qin, his miner battalion basically lost its combat effectiveness, and Yu Chao's cavalry battalion also suffered a lot of losses. β
"No, they can't afford it. The current Qin Feng is typically strong on the outside and dry in the middle, and from the outside, they are seen to win beautiful and happy, but the joys and sorrows in them are probably only known by Qin Feng himself. Cheng Wuben sneered. As the minister said before, Qin Feng is a far-sighted person, but he is also a guy who dares to gamble, but this time, it will not be his own net worth that he wants to take on the gambling table, he put almost all of his army in Shayang County, looking at the abundant capital, but he may not really end up gambling on both hands, what he really wants to gamble on is the army of our Chu State. β
took a deep breath: "If we are fooled and attack the Qi army on a large scale, with the strength of us and the Qi country, once the big war starts, it will not be able to stop in a short period of time, it will inevitably be a protracted war, and it will not stop at all in a few years." Chen believes that this is what Qin Feng wants, because at this time, the troops he placed in Shayang have really become valuable, and they have the bargaining capital. β
Cheng Wuben, who sneered, continued: "What Qin Feng wants to play is just the clichΓ© of the past few years, using the contradictions between our two sides to seek their best interests, Your Majesty, if our two sides go to war, then he can take what he wants again." And we had to promise him. β
"Cheng Gong has a point." After listening to Cheng Wuben's tirade, Min Ruoying was also a little uncertain, "Luo Shuai, what Cheng Gong said is quite reasonable, Qin Feng is only afraid that he really doesn't have any good intentions, why don't we take a look first?" β
