Chapter 550: Worry
Hearing this, Jiang Tao was immediately relieved. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"It turns out that Cheng Shuai has been worrying about these things, and I still be Cheng Shuai...... Hey, hey, hey! Jiang Tao laughed embarrassedly.
"What do you think of me?" Cheng Wuben smiled slightly: "I thought I was living a good life here in the Taiping Army, but in your words, I was happy?" ”
Jiang Tao's face suddenly turned red, but his face was darker, and it didn't look too obvious, Cheng Wuben was his old boss, knowing his benefactor, Bole, it can be said that without Cheng Wuben, there would be no day when a civilian general like him could call for wind and rain in the eastern border army of Chu State.
"But then again, working with Qin Feng is really like a spring breeze, and this person has a temperament that is difficult for ordinary people to reach." Cheng Wuben changed his words, "This, I think you must have also felt it, just his employment is impressive, I, you, Jiang Shangyan, including Ma Xiangnan, as long as it is the talent he needs, he will immediately dare to use it, and dare to delegate power, such a king, ha, how can he not let his subordinates die to the ground?" ”
Jiang Tao and Jiang Shangyan also nodded silently, this point, they are irrefutable, like Jiang Shangyan now, in command of a war camp, Jiang Tao, who is responsible for the distribution of ordnance materials, and Cheng Wuben directly knows the entire military aircraft well, and Ma Xiangnan is even more in charge of a county. On the other hand, Qin Feng and the State of Chu have great hatred. But the people who use his enemies, and who are obviously ill-intentioned, are also frank and open, and there is no such thing as elbows.
And their current emperor has courage, courage, ambition, and ambition, but in terms of employing people, he is far from being able to compare with Qin Feng.
If Cheng Wuben is still in power in the eastern border countries, a large number of experienced and capable generals will not be beaten into the cold palace, and Luo Liang, although he is a grandmaster and is also a master of the art of war, is naturally inferior to Cheng Wuben, who has been immersed in the east for more than 20 years. But just because he had doubts in his heart, he did not hesitate to take down the Cheng Wuben and replace him with Luo Liang, although the eastern border army made a smooth transition, but the loss of combat effectiveness could not be made up in a short period of time.
Now that the Chu army is being squeezed back by the Qi army little by little, the strategic advantage in the initial stage is gone, and if it continues, the prospects of the Chu state will be greatly unfavorable.
Whenever they talked about this, the three of them couldn't help but sigh for a long time.
"Qin Feng has his own strategic ideas, and it is easy for him to change them, we can't force them too quickly, otherwise it will only be counterproductive. Now, it's just a matter of getting into the details. Qin Feng attaches great importance to the people's will and the people's hearts, and he spares no effort to win the hearts of the people, so we will be forced from a young age. The sooner the Taiping army unifies the country, the sooner it fears and consolidates their regime, the faster it gathers national strength, and the sooner it becomes stronger, the higher this kind of voice will be, and to a certain extent, it will be unable to control the Qin wind, and he can only erect the banner of recovering the lost territory to stabilize the hearts of the people in the country. ”
"But I'm afraid it will take a long time." Jiang Tao said.
Cheng Wuben laughed: "The war of the country, the battle for hegemony in the world, do you want to divide the victory and defeat in three or five years?" Especially for Qi Chu, this is a long process in itself, now the Qi State is strong, and the Chu State has been recuperating for many years, and the treasury is also full, and the soldiers are strong. It's just the upper hand and the lower wind. I have already given the emperor a secret note, and let the internal guard Yang Qing start to work on this matter. Especially the nine counties of the Yue Kingdom, which have not yet expressed their attitude, are a good time to arrange in advance. After this village, there is no such shop. ”
"Speaking of internal guards, I'm really not at ease." Jiang Tao snorted: "In the past, when the commander of An Da was here, the internal guard was not only a spy system, but also a powerful armed force, but now it's good, it's about to become a thief who listens to the root of the wall and steals chickens and dogs, Yang Qing is more concerned about listening to the corners everywhere, eradicating dissidents for His Majesty the Emperor, and now in the capital, even in the teahouse and canteen, no one dares to discuss political affairs at will, and when the old emperor is there, he never cares about this." ”
Cheng Wuben's face was slightly gloomy, "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, killing pigs and tails, each has its own way of killing, His Majesty the Emperor may have his own considerations." The internal guard is too strong, and it is not a good thing for the government. Not everyone is safe and sound. ”
"But now I'm more worried that the shrinkage of the internal guard is not a good thing! From this war in which the Taiping Army defeated Wu Jian, we can see the importance of intelligence, undercover agents, and spies, and this time the Taiping Army's Eagle's Nest has played a huge role. Cheng Shuai, do you say that the current internal guards can play such a role as the Eagle's Nest? Jiang Tao shook his head and said: "Since His Majesty the Emperor was determined to take over the commander of An Da back then, why didn't he replace him with Guo Jiuling, how can this Yang Qing be compared with Guo Jiuling?" Now it's good that Guo Jiuling has become Qin Feng's right-hand man and the head of the Eagle's Nest. Cheng Shuai, Guo Jiuling's ability, you and I are clear. ”
After passing through the Luoying Mountain Range, Guo Jiuling was already resentful. And His Majesty the Emperor is also well aware of this, you said that if you put a person who has a grudge against himself on top of the guard of the internal guard, can the emperor rest assured? What Guo Jiuling did in the end confirmed the emperor's opinion even more. ”
"If Guo Jiuling came back at that time, he would be appointed as the commander of the internal guard, how could there be anything behind!" Jiang Tao said dissatisfiedly: "Even though Guo Jiuling is dissatisfied in his heart, but with the position of the great commander, he must also feel satisfied, after all, from the beginning, he has supported the emperor." ”
"How can it be so simple?" Cheng Wuben shook his head: "The emperor's temperament, don't you know it until now?" ”
Jiang Shangyan on the side came over to refill the water for the two of them, and interjected: "Cheng Shuai, general, in this battle, I think it is Tian Zhen, Qianmian, Tian Kang, Guo Jiuling, I haven't seen him have any outstanding performance, why are you all worried about him?" ”
"A dog that doesn't bark bites!" Jiang Tao glanced at him, "I was walking on the side of the road, and those dogs who were yelling at you didn't have the courage to rush up and bite you, but those dogs who seemed to be wilting and approaching you silently didn't know when they would give you a mouthful." Guo Jiuling is like this now. Don't forget, he is now the head of the Eagle Nest of the Taiping Army, whether it is Tian Zhen or Qianmian, they are all his subordinates, he is hiding in the headquarters of the Eagle Nest in Taiping City, we don't know what he is doing, this is the most worrying. ”
Jiang Tao is right. Guo Jiuling was born in the internal guard, and he is not an ordinary internal guard, but the deputy commander in charge of the internal guard, and he is familiar with the operation of the internal guard. There is such a person, it can be said that in the following days, our Dachu internal guard will hardly stand out in the area controlled by the Taiping Army. Those who dare to take the lead will probably be held down by him. Cheng Wuben agreed with Jiang Tao's statement.
"What I'm most worried about is not that Guo Jiuling will find out all the internal guards in Yueguo, I'm most afraid that he will infiltrate back." Jiang Tao shook his head and said: "Cheng Shuai still remembers a classic case in the past, it was operated by this Guo Jiuling himself, the spy of the Qi State back then, but he obtained a lot of precious information for us!" Speaking of these, Jiang Tao was obviously a little frightened, "If Guo Jiuling makes this move again, how many people are credible among the internal guards?" This person is well-known among the internal guards, and there are many followers, and now they are all cleansed, but secretly, these people, no matter what they do, will leave several followers. ”
"It's useless for us to worry here, but even though Yang Qing is not as good as Guo Jiuling, he is also a senior player in the internal guard, and he will inevitably have his way to deal with it." Cheng Wuben shook his head, "Has there been any news in China recently?" We've been on the front lines, and it's not good to talk about these things in our correspondence? ”
"Yes!" Jiang Tao nodded, "Before I came, I just received the latest report from the internal guard, of course, I suspect that Guo Jiuling has already read these reports before they come to me." ”
"You're a soldier." Cheng Wuben laughed.
Jiang Tao smiled bitterly: "After the Taiping Army took Zhongping and Longyou, the country agreed that the Yue Kingdom was not far from destroying the country. Qin Feng will definitely control the Yue Kingdom, Cheng Shuai, and the bigwigs above the court are all overjoyed, thinking that this is the opening up of the second battlefield and finally seeing the effect. ”
Cheng Wuben smiled silently.
"Qin Feng is going to be the emperor, and the princess is naturally the queen, many people think that they are inseparable, no matter what, the two families still have room for maneuver, and the hatred between Qin Feng and His Majesty back then, if it is placed between countries, it is actually nothing, they believe that Qin Feng will turn his attention to other aspects with the change of his current status."
There is some truth to that. However, what Qin Feng wants is also to dominate the world, and the ultimate goal is the same with our emperor, so this joy came too early. Cheng Wuben said lightly: "Those people don't know Qin Feng, so they take it for granted. ”
"That's true, but in China, a large congratulatory group has been prepared, ready to come to congratulate Qin Feng on his accession to the throne."
"By sea?"
"No, borrow the Qin State." Jiang Tao said: "There are a lot of big people in this boat, the sea route is risky, and we have to break through the blockade of the Qi people, in case there is a mistake, no one can take responsibility, and the Qin State will also send an embassy, just come over." ”
"In this way, the Qi people are definitely going to send someone over."
"Of course, the Qi people are Cao Hui."
"Who?" Cheng Wuben was stunned.
"It's Shu Hui, now surnamed Cao, I heard that he was accepted by Cao Chong as a deed, and he just married the daughter of the left prime minister of Qi as his wife, and he is in the limelight in China for a while."
"At this time, Yuejing City is really going to be lively, there are still three years left of the ten years of imperial gathering, and in Yuejing City, the four countries will first get together and have a fight." (To be continued.) )
