The two of them slowly walked along the path paved with stone seeds by the lotus pond. Guo Xiancheng was slightly behind. The lotus pond covers an area of ​​about acres. Although the lotus flowers are not in full bloom, the green lotus leaves are covered with the water surface. Small buds are already standing proudly on the branches. Occasionally, colorful goldfish of different shapes can be seen swimming out of the lotus leaves, poking their heads, opening their mouths wide and spitting bubbles, and then shaking their tails and disappearing into the depths of the lotus leaves.

"After two months, you can see the lotus flowers blooming in the pond. It is a rare beauty." Pointing at the lotus pond, Cao Yun smiled with a hint.

"At that time, I will definitely come to accompany Dashen to enjoy the lotus and drink." Guo Xiancheng nodded.

Cao Yun smiled and did not answer Guo Xiancheng's words. He just moved forward slowly. Along the way, he kept pointing at the scenes of hot construction, and enthusiastically introduced to Guo Xiancheng what a beautiful scenery would be after the completion.

"Master, are you really determined to be here?" Guo Xiancheng finally couldn't help it and asked.

Cao Yun paused slightly, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face: "Showing up, what else do you think I can do?"

Guo Xiancheng was stunned. Yes, what else can he do? The general in the army must be unable to go back. He was afraid that he would not be able to avoid it.

"When I was young, I went to Chu State once and saw the Jiangnan gardens of Chu State. Oh, that's really awesome. The palace gardens of our Daqi are tough and tough, but they lack that soft air. The yin and yang are the right way to adjust the yin and yang!" Cao Yun said: "Chu State, I don't know if I can still go in this life. Since I can't be sure, I'll just build one at my own home."

"The State of Chu is at its last moment." Guo Xiancheng shook his head and said, "Min Ruoying's suspicion and distrust of Cheng Wuben have reached an extreme level. At that time, the prince allowed Min Ruoying to leave, which was a wonderful move. If Min Ruoying was really killed, Chu would definitely establish a new young master. Cheng Wuben would definitely hold power. Chu would be united, which would be detrimental to us."

"It's not that I deliberately let Min Ruoying go with a way out. In fact, it was because I started early and wanted to hunt Min Ruoying. Since Min Ruoying was about to run away, it would be nothing great to kill a few more Fire Phoenix Army. It would be better to let him go back and let him leave Cheng Wuben." Cao Yun smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Qin Feng of the Ming Dynasty had the same idea. His queen Min Ruoxi went all the way from Quanzhou to Shangjing. All of his actions were provoking the already fragile relationship between the monarch and his subjects."

"Yes." Guo Xiancheng nodded and said: "The latest information shows that the Ming Dynasty has reached an anti-Qi alliance with the Chu State. The Ming Dynasty sold their latest weapons and equipment to the Chu people, but all the equipment was carried by water. After getting ashore from Quanzhou, it was transported to Jinghu and handed over to Cheng Wuben. The Ming people's weapons and equipment were sharp. Zhou Jiyun fought Cheng Wuben several times in Jinghu, and suffered a lot of losses."

"Jiyun is too proud," Cao Yun shook his head: "Cheng Wuben is not easy to deal with. Now he has gained a firm foothold in Jinghu. Jinghu ditches are crisscrossing and lakes are densely packed. Cheng Wuben has the navy to help the battle, so it is difficult for us to find a good place."

"Jiyun is eager to make another great contribution. If the Chu State is defeated in Jinghu again, it will no longer be able to stop our army." Guo Xiancheng said: "After suffering these few losses, he has invited the Zhou family in Bozhou to Jinghu to help him. Zhou family, hehe, it is indeed a dragon in the sea, but there is a problem. The Zhou family is strong, but are they familiar with the water and geography of Jingyuan? I'm afraid that even if they go there, they will not be able to gain any advantage in a short period of time."

"The State of Chu doesn't have to worry about him anymore. His ultimate fate is destined to fall either in our hands or in the hands of the Ming people." Cao Yun said: "Our main enemy is no longer the Chu people but the Ming people."

"Master, when it comes to Ming people, this time I will come to you, Dashi, to be related to Ming people." Guo Xiancheng said.

"If it is a military and national event, there is no need to tell me." Cao Yun waved his hand.

Guo Xiancheng smiled and said, "Master, don't think you are hiding here. Bento can really enjoy a happy life. I can't say that the emperor has to ask you about this matter."

"Oh? How did you see it?" Cao Yun smiled.

"Does the Grand Marshal know about Deng Shu?" Guo Xiancheng asked.

Cao Yun was stunned: "Deng Shu? Is Deng's man? He heard that his name is a woman."

"That's right, this person is Deng Fang's eldest daughter. He is about to marry Xiao Xin, the son of Xiao Qiang, Hulaoguan, as his wife." Guo Xiancheng said.

"What you said is related to this woman?" Cao Yunqi said: "This woman actually has the ability to alarm our Marshal Guo?"

"It's really a big deal." Guo Xiancheng seemed a little worried. "If it weren't for the fact that our Grand Qi was full of internal worries and that His Majesty's focus was on domestic affairs, I would have agreed immediately."

"What's the matter?" Cao Yun asked curiously.

"A few days ago, the Hengduan Mountain Guard Tuobayan sent someone to escort Deng Shu's envoy to Chang'an." Guo Xiancheng spoke in a serious tone and told Cao Yun all the whole story. After explaining all the ins and outs of the matter, the two of them walked around the lotus pond without realizing it.

"This is really a strange woman." Cao Yun was amazed: "A tiger father, no dog daughter, this Deng Shu is really amazing. She actually wants to use her own strength to leverage the power of several countries. The purpose is just to revenge, hahaha!"

"This plan sounds really seamless, and the possibility of success is extremely high. More importantly, our Daqi does not need to pay anything to kill two birds with one stone. We can not only get Qin State, but also introduce most of the current Qin State's vitality into Ming State, so that they can fight to the death."

"Then why are you hesitating?" Cao Yun asked back.

"It is this plan that is too beneficial to us." Guo Xiancheng said: "It is too unfavorable to Qin. Of course, it is not good to Ming. This kind of pie falls from the sky is really a little surprised. Isn't this woman crazy? All the plans are just to avenge Deng's family? And I don't know if it can be successful, so I took over nearly 200,000 troops of Qin. This makes sense!"

"She can't succeed at all." Cao Yun frowned: "According to her plan, the Qin army in Hulao Pass will inevitably suffer a great loss of strength. It is impossible to say whether Lu Qingzhou will be devoted to it. Even if Lu must be devoted to it, you must know how many people who can fight in Qingzhou are. Just because of this little force, it is simply a dream."

"I understand this too. But after all, there are tens of thousands of troops. As long as we can enter the Ming Dynasty, it will always be beneficial to us." Guo Xiancheng said.

"You said it right. As long as you kill in, it will be beneficial to us. But have you ever thought that you can kill in or not?" Cao Yun asked back.

"If this plan is successful, you can get in." Guo Xiancheng said affirmatively: "If the Ming people want to take Qin, this is already above Mingcheng. If we can take the lead, it will be a heavy blow to Ming."

"Will the Ming people notice this Deng Shu play such a big move?" Cao Yun asked. "The Ming people have good intelligence capabilities. Their infiltration in Qin has been very deep in the past two years."

"Or they have noticed it, but it is impossible for them to know too much." Guo Xiancheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Recently, Qin Feng has been dispatching troops in Qingzhou, Zhuifeng Camp, and the newly formed Hu Ben. Both Yulin Camps have been moving in that direction."

"Deploy troops to Qingzhou?"

"Yes! Or maybe he discovered that Lu must have had some abnormal movements, but he must not think of Deng Shu's actions in Hulao Pass." Guo Xiancheng said affirmatively.

"What is Baoqing Camp doing in Yongping County? And the surrendered general of Qin, Lu Dayuan and his 10,000 soldiers, aren't they also staying in Yongping?"

Guo Xiancheng was stunned for a moment, "Master, do you disagree with our intervention in this matter?"

Cao Yun paused, "What a great opportunity? Aren't you moved too? His Majesty the Emperor and the important officials in the court, must be moved too. But I really don't have much confidence. Now, the most important thing for us in Daqi is to change domestic problems. If we solve domestic problems, Daqi is a giant dragon. We cannot solve internal problems, and the future is worrying!"

"But if Ming Dynasty swallows Qin State and they are now in alliance with Chu State, then in the future, they will be our strong rivals!" Guo Xiancheng said.

Cao Yun sneered: "In the past few decades, the three countries have joined forces to fight against Qi. How could I do this? As long as Da Qi is strong, where will I be afraid of? Deng Shu's incident is a piece of honey, but it may also be a poison."

"Master, what are you worried about?"

"I'm worried, what if we get stuck?" Cao Yun glanced at Guo Xiancheng: "Once we get stuck, we will have conflicts with the Ming people, but now, it is indeed not a good opportunity to launch a large-scale war. If domestic reforms are abandoned halfway, the disaster will be much greater than the benefits we get from Qin."

Guo Xiancheng took a deep breath: "I understand, Grandmaster, we must do our own good first. Then, I will object to this matter when the court discusses."

"Your opposition may not be effective. I'm afraid the emperor will be really moved by this matter." Cao Yun said lightly.

"What should I do, handsome guy?"
