"We're going to give a lot, but we're not necessarily going to get much! More likely, we will be another victim. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Your Majesty, Qin Feng is an ambitious person, and in essence, he is no different from Cao Tiancheng of Qi State. Over the years, we have raised a tiger to fight against the dragon of Qi State, and now that the tiger has grown up, the dragon is aging, what we have to do is to strive to promote the dragon and tiger fight, not to become their sword and gun. At this time, when they were in the Ming Dynasty and lacked financial resources, they still had to work hard to promote the Three Kingdoms to resist Qi, and did not hesitate to send a large army, not really having any intention to resist Qi, he was looking forward to our greed for small gains, and saw that we had been unfavorable to the battle in the past two years, and were eager to recover the strategic disadvantage, which tempted us to be fooled. Once we do what he wants, it's easier said than done. I dare to assert that he will never make a move against the Qi State before us, and even if we do, he will not do it. Instead, he will start negotiations with Qi to get what he wants. Your Majesty, Qi Guo is an evil dragon, and Qin Feng is also a fierce tiger, so he must not be underestimated. ”

Cheng Wuben said eloquently: "Your Majesty, the people who underestimated him are dead. First Mo Luo, then Wu Jian, and the most recent is Deng Pu, Qin Guo has now been beaten down by him, if we can't be vigilant against Ming Guo, then who can say for sure, the next one is not us? ”

"Cheng Gong, are you too alarmist?" Luo Liang had a cold face, just now Cheng Wuben said that it was not good for the alignment operation, and as the commander of the Eastern Border Army, he was undoubtedly mainly responsible. When Cheng Wuben was in command of the Eastern Frontier Army, the State of Chu held a defensive position and confronted the State of Qi for many years, and did not fall behind.

But when Min Ruoying became the emperor, he was dissatisfied with Cheng Wuben's strategy of shrinking and defending himself, and the ambitious Min Ruoying wanted to attack and gain an advantage on the battlefield.

The replacement of Luo Liang is a change in the basic national policy of shifting from a defensive position to an offensive one. It's just that Luo Liang didn't complete the task given to him by Min Ruoying, and after losing the best opportunity, he relieved the Qi State, and in the next few years, the huge Qi State first reversed the disadvantage little by little, then formed a balance of power, and finally gained the upper hand.

And Luo Liang naturally needs to be mainly responsible for all this. It was precisely because of Luo Liang's dissatisfaction that Min Ruoying entrusted Cheng Wuben, who had been idle and high-pitched, to the important task again, and sent Jiang Tao, the general of the Cheng department, to the Eastern Border Army as a substantive deputy general. This is a warning and a persecution for Luo Liang, if Luo Liang can't change all this, then Min Ruoying may be replaced at any time.

Luo Liang certainly had a sense of urgency. As a courtier, he has reached the pinnacle of his life, and what he wants most is to leave a name in history. And if you want to do this, you must not lose the stage of the commander of the Eastern Border Army, which allows him to display his skills.

So this time, when the Ming State sent an envoy to seek an alliance and attack Qi together, Luo Liang immediately felt that this was an excellent opportunity, with the combat effectiveness that the Ming army is showing now, the Qi army will definitely not dare to take it lightly, and will inevitably transfer a large number of soldiers and horses, and materials will go to the battlefield where the Ming State is fighting, which is of course a great pressure on him. Coupled with a Qin State, even if it does not send troops to fight, Xiao Qiang's 50,000 soldiers and horses are also firmly guarded, which is a deterrent in itself, how can the Qi State be regarded as turning a blind eye? A guy like Xiao Qiang, who forgets his righteousness, once he sees the opportunity, how can he not pounce and bite a few bites? Although this person's character is not good, he is not a person without ability.

"Your Majesty, is the minister alarmist, if you want to come, Your Majesty must have a judgment." Cheng Wuben looked at Min Ruoying and said lightly.

Min Ruoying frowned and pondered for a moment: "What Cheng Gong said, it does make sense, I have to think about it, Cheng Gong, the envoy of the Ming Kingdom is still in the capital, you accompany him for a good turn in the past two days, have a good time, you are familiar with them, and the friendship is good, by the way, before going to the court today, the queen mother also specially said that she wanted to meet this envoy, the queen mother is not in good health, especially miss Xi'er and two grandchildren, let this envoy go to the queen mother to talk about their situation, I heard that this time Xi'er also went to the battlefield, the queen mother is very worried. Let this envoy go and forgive the heart of the queen mother. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cheng Wuben nodded, stood up, and Shi Li retreated.

Only Min Ruoying and Luo Liang were left in the room.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Wuben is just for his selfishness, please believe me, this time the minister will definitely satisfy Your Majesty." Luo Liang stood up and said loudly.

Min Ruoying waved her hand: "I have to say, Cheng Gong's words are still very reasonable." Qin Feng can achieve such an achievement from a small captain in a short period of time, it is really a miracle, if he had known that this was the case, this sister would have been recognized! Hahaha, this brother-in-law is amazing, I look eye-catching. ”

"Your Majesty!" Luo Liang was a little anxious when he heard this, if Min Ruoying really decided not to send troops, then he would lose another great opportunity.

"But we still have to prepare what we need to prepare." Min Ruoying put away her smile, "The Eastern Frontier Army still has to prepare for war, but whether it will fight or not, and when it will be fought, will have to be carefully studied." ”

Hearing Min Ruoying's words, Luo Liang couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Your Majesty, the minister will return to the eastern border army, mobilize the whole army, and prepare to attack the Qi people." ”

"Timing!" Min Ruoying glared at Luo Liang, "Luo Shuai, you must grasp it well when you do it this time, to put it simply, that is, if the Ming Kingdom does not make the first move, we will never do it, if they take the lead in attacking, then it proves that Qin Feng really wants to unite with my Great Chu and the Qin State to deal with the Qi State." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Cheng Wuben is actually right about one thing, that Qin Feng is indeed ambitious, but because of this, Chen Zai believes that this time he really wants to make a move against Qi Guo. The reason is very simple, the State of Qi is indeed the most powerful, Qin Feng wants to achieve his ambitions and goals, then the State of Qi is a hurdle that he can't bypass, it must be with us Dachu, the border between the Ming State and the State of Qi is longer, and there is the State of Qi who has repeatedly plotted against Qin Feng, with Qin Feng's character, if you don't want to retaliate, I really don't believe it. While weakening the Qi State, he can also let out the evil anger in his chest, and the minister believes that the Ming Kingdom is definitely playing real this time. ”

That being said, still be careful. Luo Shuai, if the Ming State takes the lead, then you are in Kunling Pass, there is no need to hesitate, the army presses in, and the Ming State jointly flanks the Qi State, this battle, not to mention how much success is obtained, at least, to take back the strategic advantage, if we can enter Gaohu again or even take Gaohu, then we will make a lot of money in that battle. Last time, it was just a little bit close! Min Ruoying said with regret.

"Your Majesty, this time, the minister will never fail to live up to His Majesty's trust." Luo Liang bowed his head.

Min Ruoying smiled coldly, "Luo Shuai, you also have to understand that although I have patience, this patience is also limited. If it fails this time, I will consider a substitution. Many people in the DPRK and China have already suggested that Cheng Wuben should return to the eastern border army, and even the queen mother began to read about this matter. The old man is getting older, and in the past two years, he has become more and more concerned about the world, and Cheng Wuben did a good job in the east back then, which made him like it very much. ”

Luo Liang took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, the minister will never fail, the minister is still thinking about it, following behind His Majesty, and leaving a name in history!" ”

Min Ruoying smiled slightly, "Very good." Go down, hurry up and rush back to Kunling Pass, prepare for battle, and wait for orders! ”

"Yes!" Luo Liang stood up, bowed and retreated.

Min Ruoying stayed alone in the house for a while, and ordered someone to summon the first auxiliary horse to the east.

"Shoufu, at today's court meeting, Cheng Gong and Luo Shuai are fighting, you haven't spoken, I think that the two of them have made sense, who do you support more?" Min Ruoying asked straight to the point, "Now you don't want to figure out what I mean, I want to hear what you think." ”

Ma Xiangdong, the first assistant, is completely different from the style of the previous first assistant Yang Yihe, Yang Yihe's right things, even if the emperor has different opinions, he will fight until he achieves his goal, and Ma Xiangdong is an out-and-out middle-of-the-road prime minister, he first considers not the actual needs but the emperor's intentions. As long as the emperor thinks it is right, he will work hard to achieve it, even if it is wrong.

Of course, Min Ruoying understands this, of course, this is also the reason why he reuses Ma Xiangdong, Yang Yihe is a Shoufu who can create, but he is also a strong Shoufu, during the reign of Yang Yihe, Min Ruoying even thought that the whole country was not in charge of the emperor, but Yang Yihe was changing the Chu State according to his own ideas, which Min Wei could bear, but he couldn't bear it. Ma Xiangdong also has the ability, but he is a tinkerer, he will try his best to complete what he wants to do, even if there is a problem, he will work hard to wipe his ass for himself, and try to complete the matter as much as possible.

The powerful Min Ruoying needs such a prime minister, how can he tolerate a strong prime minister to divide his power? But this time, he went to hear Ma Xiangdong's true thoughts.

Ma Xiangdong blinked and looked at the emperor, and said after a while: "Your Majesty, there is a reason to fight, and there is a reason not to fight." ”

Listening to Ma Xiangdong's ambiguous answer, Min Ruoying couldn't laugh or cry. "Shousuke, I said I want to listen to your true thoughts."

Ma Xiangdong nodded seriously: "Your Majesty, this is what the minister thinks, but the minister thinks that what Cheng Gong said has to be considered, so this time, as long as Ming Guo makes the first move, we might as well follow suit." ”

"You think so, too?" Min Ruoying smiled.

Hearing the emperor say this, Ma Xiangdong was relieved, "It turns out that Your Majesty also thinks so?" ”

"Yes, Qin Feng is cunning and slippery, he has to be guarded, if he doesn't take the lead, we will never do it. Shoufu, can the treasury still be full? ”

"This year is another bumper harvest year, and there is no problem in supporting a big war, but after four or five years of fighting in a row, there must be complaints between the government and the opposition."

"The victor is not condemned, and if you win a big battle, all complaints will disappear." Min Ruoying didn't care. "Of course, Shousuke has to pay more attention to this aspect, after all, only when the top and bottom work together can they work together."
