Cheng Wuben walked into the camp outside the city in the camp of the Baoqing camp, looked at Jiang Tao and Jiang Shangyan and said, "It's decided, it's decided!" ”

"What's decided?" Jiang Shangyan looked at Cheng Wuben inexplicably. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The name of the Taiping Army has been decided." Cheng Wuben said: "Today, Qin Feng convened his confidants and officials to discuss the matter of the national name, and the news has just come out, and the national name has been decided. ”

"What is it?" Jiang Tao stood up, the name of a country is naturally very important, and a civilian general like him attaches more importance to it than ordinary military generals.

"The sun and the moon are clear, and it is clear." Cheng Wuben said: "A new dynasty was born, the Ming Empire of Qin Feng. ”

"The Ming Empire?" Jiang Tao muttered: "He has such great ambitions. ”

Cheng Wuben smiled: "It's good to be ambitious." Aren't we afraid that he has no ambition? Who is the most powerful country in the world? Daqi. Qin Feng is ambitious, and the Qi Kingdom is his biggest obstacle. If he wants to realize his ambitions, he still has to meet Qi Guo head-on in the end. ”

"But I'm worried that before this, our Da Chu will become his first target." Jiang Tao was worried, "Now that Qin Feng and Li Zhi are fighting hotly, and the Qin State is poor and located in a remote western place, it is a chicken threat for Qin Feng, and he will only befriend the Qin State now." And Qi Guo is too powerful for him, and he can't afford to provoke it. And our Chu State is the richest country, and it is facing off with the Qi State, so it is very likely for him to take the opportunity to bite us a few times. ”

"Of course!" Cheng Wuben said: "This will test our national policy and diplomatic ability. I'm afraid you still don't know, what gifts did the people of Qi give to Qin as a gift for the founding of the country? ”

"Isn't it troublemaker?" Jiang Shangyan said with a smile.

"Troublemaking is one aspect, but they have another big deal, I got the news before I came here, of course, this news must have been deliberately released by Qin Feng." Cheng Wuben said: "The Qi State has given away the entire Izumo County to Qin Feng. ”

"Izumo-gun!" Jiang Tao took a deep breath: "It's really a big deal, in this way, the Taiping Army, which is not bordering us, has a place connected to our land, and the Qi country has a sinister mind." ”

"Of course sinister!" Cheng Wuben snorted.

"Qin Feng has received it?"

"Of course, for the newly built Ming Empire, there are still several counties occupied by the Qi State, it is a very faceless thing for them, the newly built Ming Empire will definitely be pressured by domestic public opinion, asking them to recover the lost territory, and Qin Feng is absolutely unwilling to start a war with the Qi people at this time, because it will greatly cheapen us, and now the Qi people have sent Izumo County, at least in a short time, he can give an explanation to the people in the country." Cheng Wu Bendao.

Jiang Tao felt heavy: "Who will guard Izumo County, that is a very important issue, at least, we can see Qin Feng's meaning from the generals who guarded Izumo County." ”

Cheng Wuben nodded wordlessly. "The people of Qi have made a good move, the geographical location of Izumo County is long and narrow, and most of the area is exposed to the attack interface of Qi State, and the people of Qi are not worried that Qin Feng will find trouble for them from here, but for our Chu State, they are very annoyed, they have to defend, the narrow geography makes it impossible for us to expand, they want to attack it, but we are wide open, this is like an open folding fan, they are at the end of the fan handle, and we are on top of the fan."

"Izumo County is located at the junction of the three countries, and it is already very chaotic, so we must make arrangements first, at least find a powerful spokesperson in Izumo County." Jiang Tao said coldly. "Cheng Shuai, this thing must be done immediately, it will be done by us, we can't count on the internal guard, it must be led by the military."

"I will leave for China immediately, and when I return, I will arrange this matter, which cannot be bypassed by the internal guard, but I will strive for the dominance of this matter in front of His Majesty. Also, Jiang Tao, if you go back this time, you are going back to the Eastern Frontier Army, which is a happy event for you. ”

"Return to the Eastern Frontier Army?" Jiang Tao stared at Cheng Wuben with wide eyes, "It's Luo Liang's world now, how can you tolerate me?" ”

"His Majesty the Emperor is very dissatisfied with Luo Liang's performance in the Eastern Border Army, and now Cao Yun has slowly squeezed Luo Liang back to Kunling Pass, and all the efforts in the past year have turned into water."

"I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place, if it wasn't for the suspicion of Cheng Shuai, how could the Eastern Frontier Army be like it is now?" Jiang Shangyan was dissatisfied. "What can General Jiang do when he goes back now? I'm afraid that it will make Luo Liang hate Cheng Shuai even more, and General Jiang is afraid that life will not be easy. ”

"You can't say that. It should be said that now His Majesty has reassured me, although I can't return to the army, but after I go back this time, I will go back to the mountains to control the military department, Jiang Tao, you go to the eastern border army not to do idle duties, but a deputy general, 200,000 eastern border countries, 50,000 are under your direct control, and the defense line west of Kunling Pass is all under your responsibility. This is a manifestation of His Majesty's dissatisfaction with Luo Liang, if you can make achievements and make a breakthrough on the western defense line, then it is not impossible to replace Luo Liang one day. ”

"Let me be a real lieutenant?" Jiang Tao was a little surprised. "I'm afraid that Luo Liang won't let me make meritorious service easily, right?"

Cheng Wuben frowned: "After you go, you have to be steady, Luo Liang is a person who is eager for quick success, I am the secretary of the military department, and you are the actual deputy general, for him, it is already a very strict warning, I am worried that he will take the risk of attacking, Cao Yun on the opposite side is an extremely difficult to deal with in the art of war, and he will definitely seize Luo Liang's psychology and set a trap, so after you go, I am afraid that you will first prepare to wipe Luo Liang's ass." ”

"Why do you wipe his ass and let him be defeated once, so that His Majesty the Emperor can know who is the real minister of the country, Luo Liang is just engaged in a small conspiracy, such an army is clearly opposed, he can't do it." Jiang Shang Yan snorted angrily.

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Wuben and Jiang Tao both glared at him angrily.

"I, am I wrong?" Jiang Shangyan looked at the two of them inexplicably.

Jiang Tao sighed: "Yanzi, you are a person of temperament, we naturally understand your feelings, but you don't want to think about it, if Luo Liang is defeated, he will die as a soldier of our Great Chu, lose the land of our Great Chu, and lose the wealth of our Great Chu. On top of the affairs of the state, there are some things that cannot be traded or exchanged. If it can be exchanged, I am willing to use my position as a deputy general in exchange for a big victory for Luo Liang. ”

Jiang Shangyan's face was flushed, but he was not convinced in his heart, "Cheng Shuai, please forgive me for being blunt, we are high-spirited, but Na Luo Liang, with the heart of a villain, will definitely not treat General Jiang well, and when the time comes, General Jiang will be angry." ”

"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Tao smiled and said: "Since I am a substantive deputy general and have an army of 50,000 in my hands, I also have the right to play straight, and Luo Liang can't directly dispose of me." Cheng Shuai, this seems to be the first time that the imperial court has set up a substantive deputy general in the Eastern Border Army, right? ”

"Yes, when I was in command of the Eastern Frontier Army, the adjutant generals were appointed by me, and I did not directly control the army." Cheng Wuben nodded and said, "This is the first time." The decentralization of the army is not a good thing, but for the current eastern border army, it can be regarded as a last resort. ”

"Cheng Shuai, General Jiang, what about me, you are all gone, what should I do? Still staying here? What should I do if the Taiping Army really fights us? That must be a dumpling made alive by them! Jiang Shangyan was a little panicked in his heart, as soon as these two left, he would have no backbone.

"Even if Ming Chu has a conflict one day, Qin Feng won't do anything to you." Cheng Wuben said lightly: "As long as you don't move, if there is really such a day, you surrender and strive for people to go back." ”

"Surrender?" Jiang Shangyan was stunned, "Then, then I'll go back with you now!" What am I doing here? ”

"You have to stay here." Cheng Wuben affirmed: "This is not a military need, but a political need. ”

Egami Yan was bored for a long time, "It would be nice if I was to garrison Izumo County." ”

"Don't even think about it!" Jiang Tao laughed: "No, Cheng Shuai, can you try to let Jiang Shangyan still return to Baoqing to station, so that if something happens, they will at least have a chance to go from the sea." ”

"Impossible." Cheng Wuben shook his head and said, "If my guess is correct, the biggest possibility of the Baoqing camp is stationed in Zhongping County." ”

Hearing that it was Zhongping County, Jiang Shangyan wilted directly, if one day Ming Chu turned his back, in Zhongping County, he really had no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground.

The guards raised the curtain and reported to the three people: "Cheng Shuai, Lord Ma Xiangnan is visiting." ”

Hearing that it was Ma Xiangnan, the three of them all had a slight change of color on their faces, Ma Xiangdong had already notified Cheng Wuben of Ma Xiangnan's decision, which made Cheng Wuben feel very heavy, Ma Xiangnan was the first to go to Yue to open up the second battlefield, it can be said that the opening of the second battlefield today was successful, the foundation laid by Ma Xiangnan, and the ideas put forward were all the first merits, but this one has now officially decided to break away from Chu and join Ming.

"This traitor!" Jiang Shangyan said in a low voice.

"Shut up!" Jiang Tao reprimanded in a low voice: "Everyone has their own ambitions, you can't force them, Lord Ma Xiangnan's credit to our Great Chu can't be erased because he left." ”

"Swallow, Jiang Tao is right. In the future, when you are stationed in the Ming Kingdom, it is also a good thing for you to have such an old man to take care of you, remember to have a good relationship with him, Qin Feng values him very much. Cheng Wuben advised, "Ma Xiangnan became a high-ranking official of the Ming Kingdom, which is also a good thing for us Dachu, no matter what, he still has feelings for his homeland." When it matters, it still works. ”

"I see!" Jiang Shangyan said sullenly. (To be continued.) )
