"Father!" Seeing that Deng Zhong actually opened the door and stood behind the threshold looking at him, Deng Fang was slightly taken aback and bowed. Deng Zhong nodded slightly www.biquge.info this eldest son is very different from him and the other two sons, he has always been introverted, his mood is invisible, the city is very deep, he doesn't like it, and the path taken by Deng Fang is also very different from other Deng children, after he polished the border army for a period of time, he left the border army and entered the spy system of the Qin army.

In fact, whether it is the Emperor of Qin, or the Bian family, or even Li Zhi, he does not want to see Deng Fang grasp the dark institution of Qin, but the problem is that Deng Fang has done too well in this industry, so good that no one can hide his light, if he forcibly suppresses it, he must worry about Deng's reaction, after several battles, in the end, Deng Fang has firmly grasped the real power of this institution, rather than being nameless, the Emperor of Qin simply fell generous and made Deng Fang the supreme head of this institution.

But it was also from that moment on, in the contest between the Deng family and the Bian family, the emperor began to favor the Bian family, which is also the confidence that the Bian family dared to carry out large-scale infiltration of the border army controlled by the Deng family over the years.

Deng Fangzheng wanted to say something more, but Deng Zhong was slightly sideways, and from the place where his father got out of the way, Deng Fang saw Li Zhi in the house at a glance, and naturally saw Deng Su who was rubbing his feet for Li Zhi. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but then he lowered his gaze again, walked into the room with his hand, and bowed: "I've seen Li Shuai." ”

"From Yueguo?" Li Zhi nodded slightly, lifted his wet feet out of the basin, casually pulled a towel on the side, wiped it indiscriminately, and threw it aside. Deng Zhong waved his hand, and Deng Su immediately picked up the basin, picked up the towel, turned around and walked out of the door.

The door slammed shut behind him.

"Yes, but I only heard about this side after crossing the capital all the way and was about to arrive here." Deng Fang stood in front of Li Zhi and said respectfully. "Congratulations to Li Shuai, Kaiping County is finally my Great Qin."

Li Zhi laughed out loud and pointed to the chair on the side, "Sit down and say, you have worked hard along the way." ”

"Xie Li Shuai!" Deng Fang saluted again, and then he came down, looking up at Li Zhi directly, with a respectful smile on his face. Li Zhi was also looking at him, in Li Zhi's eyes, Deng Fang was indeed smiling, but it was only on the surface, in the depths of those eyes, there was no smile, which was completely different from Deng Su.

"Your focus during this time is on the Taiping Army?" Li Zhi twisted the small teacup with two fingers and rubbed it slowly with his other hand.

"Yes, Li Shuai, the Taiping army has begun a large-scale mobilization, and Qin Feng has gathered more than 20,000 elite troops in the Mengshan camp, which may attack at any time." Deng Fang nodded.

"Something to be expected! Who wouldn't want to take a bite of such a great opportunity? In your judgment, where is the focus of the Taiping Army? What is their purpose? Li Zhi asked.

"Judging from the information we have obtained so far and the movements of the Taiping Army, their target should be Zhengyang County." Deng Fangdao: "We bought some people, but these people have no access to confidential information, but we still obtained some of their official documents on the transfer of grain and grass and material supplies, and from these documents, we judged that they wanted to obtain Zhengyang County." ”

Li Zhi let out a long breath: "If that's the case, that's great." ”

"Great?" Deng Fang didn't react for a while.

Deng Zhong walked over and sat beside Li Zhi at this time, and nodded vigorously: "Of course, if Qin Feng's goal is only to take Zhengyang County, then it will be too good for us." At least, they won't be an obstacle for us. ”

Deng Fang looked at Deng Zhong and Li Zhi with some confusion.

Deng Zhong lifted the boiling water and rushed into the teapot, the smell was fragrant, and the heat was curling, Deng Zhong said: "Do you think that Li Shuai has been staying on the front line just to take Kaiping County?" ”

Deng Fangleng paused for a moment, nodded as if he suddenly realized, and then said, "But there is another situation, which is very important. Qin Feng incorporated Baoqing's Chu army. ”

"Baoqing's Chu army?" Li Zhi's voice suddenly raised.

"Yes, before Mo Luo's dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and the Chu army was merged, the Chu army had reached the end of the mountain, the Taiping army suddenly attacked, and the Chu army was flanked back and forth, and the Shuntian army was defeated, Mo Luo's men, including Bao Hua and others, all died, Mo Luo escaped alone, and his whereabouts are unknown. After that, the Taiping army reached an agreement with the Chu army, and the Chu army, including Cheng Wuben and Jiang Tao, all surrendered to the Taiping army. Deng Fangdao: "Cheng Wu is this person, but he is a fierce enemy." ”

Li Zhi took a long breath and glanced at Deng Zhong, "Old Deng, what do you think?" ”

"It's a bit of trouble." Deng Zhong also inhaled a cool breath: "Cheng Wu will not return to the Taiping Army, he probably wants to put a long line to catch big fish, and support the Taiping Army to compete with the Qi people after they rise, so as to reduce the pressure of the Chu State on the battlefield, this person is an old treacherous and slippery person, if he does his best to help the Taiping Army plan, the Taiping Army will be like a tiger." ”

Pulling the beard above his chin vigorously, Li Zhi was silent for a moment, "The high-level of the Taiping Army, like the kitten Zhang Xiaozheng, the wild dog Gan Wei and others, all have great contradictions with the Chu Army, even if Cheng Wuben joins the Taiping Army, it may not be smooth, Qin Feng himself will only use Cheng Wuben, the two sides are not the same heart, whether it is the Chu Army or Cheng Wuben, it is just a knife in his hand, the two sides may not be able to cooperate seamlessly, suspicion often ruins a good game of chess." Let's respond to all changes with the same, and see what the Taiping Army wants to do next. With such a large piece of fat in Zhengyang County in front of Qin Feng's eyes, this young man would really be able to bear it? ”

"I hope so! To be honest, I would like to see the Taiping army march now and pounce on Zhengyang County. Deng Zhong laughed.

Li Zhi also smiled, "No matter how it develops, anyway, Kaiping County has eaten it steadily into our stomachs, and we will never spit it out again, it is already a harvest, even if we don't get anything later, it's not a big deal, our Qin people's appetite has always been small, what can be eaten is ours, take your time, we have time, patience, people who are used to suffering, it is already more than overjoyed to have a mouthful of wowotou, other good things, even if you can't eat it, it doesn't matter, anyway, I haven't eaten it before, right?" ”

"Li Shuai is open-minded!" Deng Zhong smiled and nodded, "But that's right, this time, we have already earned, it just depends on how big we make and how little we make." Now that spring ploughing has begun, I don't know when the officials of the imperial court will be able to rush over and take over? We can't keep the army carrying knives and supervising the peasants in the fields, right? If we miss the agricultural season, we will not be able to make a profit. ”

"It's coming soon." Li Zhi smiled faintly. "Even if the Bian family wants to embarrass you, but I'm here, and they don't dare to play any tricks."

"It's all up to Li Shuai." Deng Zhong said with a smile.

"Deng Fang, since you have been in the Taiping Army's territory for so long, let's talk about the situation over there, to be honest, I'm still quite curious, this Qin Feng is really capable, have you met him, what kind of person is this person?"

"Dashuai, Qin Feng, I really don't understand this person, sometimes he is ruthless, sometimes he is a woman's kindness, when he was in Anyang, he brutally killed Yang Yi and others, but he let go of Duan Xuan, the scissors he hated the most, it was difficult to understand. On the whole, this person is best at managing the army, training and combat, but in terms of knowing people and being good at duty, he is also quite powerful, and now Quan Yun of Shayang County and Ge Qingsheng of Taiping City can be said to be working for him with all his heart, and with these experienced civil officials to help him govern the place, let him be like a tiger. "Deng Fangdao." In the past two months, I have been walking around Shayang County, Changyang County and other places, and I originally wanted to go to Taiping City to see, but it was the lair of the Taiping Army, and it was very well guarded, and now that Guo Jiuling had also surrendered to Qin Feng, I didn't venture over. However, I have collected some news from the outside, and I also know the general situation inside, Taiping City is now gathering about 100,000 people, because of the geographical relationship, I am afraid that it is difficult to break through, and they are now planning to build a second city, just this heart, this financial resources, people have to be shocked! ”

"What is the situation in Shayang County?"

"Very nice and rich. Although it has suffered from the war poison of Mo Luo, but the recovery is unusually fast, Qin Feng implemented the clearance of acres of land in Shayang County, reformed the commercial tax, and was strongly supported by the people, and the wealth has been greatly improved, it is hard to imagine that the five families of Shayang actually bowed down to him and let him scrape the flesh on his body without resisting, which is also a strange thing. Deng Fang shook his head again and again: "Our Daqin has also done a good job of clearing the acres of land, but in the end, we ended up with nothing and nothing was done." ”

"That's because Qin Feng gave them greater hope, and now that the Taiping army is winning one by one, the contradictions have been suppressed, and once the Taiping army suffers a defeat, some contradictions will be exposed." Deng Zhongdao.

In other words, if the Taiping Army has been winning and has been expanding its territory, then the five major families attached to the Taiping Army can gain benefits in a wider territory, and the small Shayang County will naturally not be a problem. I have to say that these people are still quite far-sighted and courageous, much stronger than some of our rich landowners in Daqin. If these people have a longer-term vision, why would our Great Qin Border Army be so poor? Not even the ability to fight a few big battles consistently. Deng Fang said with some resentment.

Li Zhi smiled slightly, he could naturally hear what Deng Fang's words meant.

"I'm afraid we'll have to deal directly with the Taiping Army in the future, let's go and see? Whether it's a dragon or a worm, it's too early to draw conclusions. Let's talk about it when he faces us directly, let's take a look at Luo Yishui's performance first, haha, I'm looking forward to his performance. (To be continued.) )
