Cao Hui applauded and laughed: "Talking with a smart man like Marshal Bian is a waste of energy and no nonsense. This is said thoroughly. Once a person like us loses its value, what is the difference between death? Marshal Bian, after Qin Feng took over the State of Chu, your value is not lost, but it is basically unnecessary, right? Once you reach this situation, do you think you can still live as freely as you are now?"

"Of course I have my own way." Bian Wushuang said.

"Mr. Bian said this so much. I feel sad for you after hearing it." Cao Hui shook his head: "A smell of resignation to fate."

"Leave it to fate?" Bian Wushuang laughed horrified.

"It seems that Marshal Bian doesn't know his situation yet? Not that, Zhou Jiyun has already formed a relationship with the Ming people, you won't know? The so-called mercenary who is fighting in Kunling County now, Marshal Bian should also know their background. Aren't they the Ming army?" Cao Hui smiled and said with a smile.

"So what?"

"Not very good." Cao Hui continued: "Master Bian is pretending to be confused with his understanding. When Qin Feng takes the State of Chu, you will be sandwiched between him and Zhou Jiyun. Where is the way out for the Master Bian?"

"How did you know I would be stuck in the middle by them?"

Cao Hui burst out laughing: "Master Bian, you won't tell me about Jiangnan, right? Well, I know that General Bian Wenzhong has been operating in Jiangnan for a long time, but the effect is as good as Da Zheng thinks? Or is it actually as good as the surface?"

Bian Wushuang's face changed slightly, "What do you want to say?"

Cao Hui said lightly: "Mr. Bian, will Qin Feng not know what we know? This time, Mingguo attacked, did Mar. Bian not see anything?"

"What did you see?"

"Mr. Bian, Jiangnan is not the Jiangnan you imagined when you were in Qin. A few years ago, it was a land of fish and rice, but now, what is there? Mulberry trees all over the mountains, silk reeling workshops, weaving workshops, mulberry trees occupied the farmland, and the workshops eroded labor. When the Ming Dynasty attacked, it stopped importing grain. The price of grain in Jiangnan immediately soared. You think you have Jiangnan, a land of fishing rice, and your capital to take off, but in my opinion, you are carrying a big burden."

"I have five eastern counties."

"Just, can you hold Zeng Lin or Jiang Shangyan?" Cao Hui sneered. "I know that Suqian's transfer gave you the opportunity to expand the army with righteousness. You built two new armies and allowed the troops you directly to control reached 50,000. But you must be clear that the 20,000 cavalry of Jiang Shangyan is the essence of the six eastern counties. How many troops are there in the order of Zeng Lin's army will not be less than 20,000. This will be able to compete with you. More importantly, your logistics is completely controlled by Zeng Lin. Zeng Lin's prestige in the six eastern counties is only higher than you. If you can't handle him, how can you talk about independence?"

Bian Wushuang's face turned pale.

Cao Hui looked at Bian Wushuang and said earnestly: "Mayor Bian, as you said, a person must have value in exploitation to show his own value. Your value to the Ming Dynasty is decreasing sharply, but the value to me, Daqi, is rising rapidly. He said without hesitation that we need you. Our situation is not good now. The failure of the two armies to attack Kunling County has put us in a great passive state. If you can join us, we do not need to increase troops here, but can concentrate our efforts to solve domestic problems."

"More importantly, our battle with the Ming people will be long-term. As long as you have the ability to take Kunling County, we can really give you the six eastern counties, including the six eastern counties, plus Jiangnan, with our Daqi and Dama Bian back to us. That was your way of survival. At that time, even if you were good at both sides and bargaining on both sides, it was acceptable for us. At least for us, your existence can block the attacks of the Ming people from Chu for us, so that we can concentrate on dealing with the Ming people in the other two directions."

"If you join us, you can be an independent existence and rely on the Ming Dynasty. You can only be the pioneer of the Ming Dynasty, become their pawns, and fight for them, but the result is not necessarily good."

"You must be very clear about the situation in our country. Even if we solve the problem of wealthy families, it is inevitable that it will be severely damaged. It will take a long time to recover your vitality. So you don't have to worry about us breaking the bridges across the river. On the contrary, we have to rely on you to a large extent. With this time, you can rely on your ability to do it. In the future, I won't say much, I can only say that they rely on their own abilities."

"Standard Bian, think about what I said."

Cao Hui had been away for a long time, but Bian Wushuang still locked himself in the secret room. Only when his son Bian Wenzhong finally couldn't help but open the door and walked in.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Bian Wenzhong sat opposite his father and asked in a low voice.

"Cao Hui is right!" Bian Wushuang said in a low voice.

"What did Cao Hui tell you?"

"Attack Kunling County!" Bian Wushuang raised his head, looked at Bian Wenzhong, and said word by word.

Bian Wenzhong was startled, "Father, if we really attack Kunling County, it would be a rebellion with Ming. Now Zhou Jiyun has obviously defected to Ming."

"I know." Bian Wushuang said with a gloomy face: "When you are the first to become a pawn, or you may try your best to be the master of your own country. Wen Zhong, how do you choose?"

"Father, do we still have a chance to choose now?" Bian Wenzhong sighed. "We seem to be strong now, but in fact we are controlled by others everywhere."

"It is precisely because of this that I want to fight for it and no longer be so controlled by others." Bian Wushuang snorted coldly. "Jiangnan is indeed no longer producing grain, but he has silk, which is wealth. The six eastern counties can all produce grain areas. As long as they can truly control these two places, have grain and money, the Bian family still has great potential."

"The son of Jiangnan has thought of many ways and has won over a lot of people. The 20,000 troops are enough to control it. However, Zeng Lin is a hurdle that we cannot overcome in the six eastern counties. There is also Jiang Shangyan, who has been in Ming Kingdom for a long time, and I am afraid that he will not know the Ming people."

"There is no way for Jiang Shangyan to do for the time being, but I can get him away. Now the war is everywhere in the Great Chu, and I will write a letter to the emperor, saying that there is no war in the east now, and it is a waste for Jiang Shangyan to stay here. You can drive your Majesty and destroy the rebels. In this way, you can transfer him out of the six eastern counties." Bian Wushuang snorted coldly: "Zeng Lin, hum, you are seventy-eighty, and you have lived enough."

Bian Wenzhong's face changed slightly: "Did you kill him?"

"How can we really control the six eastern counties without killing him?"

"Father, you need to think twice about this."

"If you think twice about anything, nothing will be done. Wen Zhong, when you go back to Jiangnan, you must firmly control those places. This is crucial for our future. Zeng Lin, I will find a way."

"Yes, father. But you must be cautious in this matter, be more cautious."

"Of course, I will choose the best time." Bian Wushuang took a deep breath, "If we succeed, we can truly become a vital force in the world. Wen Zhong, don't think that our strength is very weak. When two giants are equal, we will become an important bargaining chip. Although walking on the edge of the blade is dangerous, we also have great opportunities. We are seeking wealth and honor in danger."

"Son understand. Father, now the Great Chu court is no longer concerned about itself. Should we find a way to transfer the army in Anyang? Of course, there are still relatives who are still there. Although we cannot make a big fuss, we can adopt the ants moving model and immigrate bit by bit. Otherwise, once the Ming Dynasty takes full action against Chu State in the future, Anyang will definitely be out of guarantee, and our military families will fall into the hands of the Ming people. This is a big disadvantage and will make us lose our weapons."

"You're very reasonable. I will ask Bian Wenhao to start dealing with this matter immediately." Bian Wushuang looked at his son with appreciation, "No, really good. I haven't thought about this matter yet. Wenhao is also a tiger general. If you transfer him here, you can share some of the burden for your father. In the future, he will be your capable helper."

Bian Wenzhong smiled and nodded.

"I will find a few suitable places here to resettle military families. They have a very unpleasant life in Anyang and their lives are very hard. I think it's a great thing to be here." Bian Wushuang said with a smile.

Bian Wushuang decided to start another adventure in his life. From Qin to Chu, it was his first time to make a big bet. He won. Although he didn't win much, he had a place to live. This time, he decided to bet a bigger one.

At this moment, in Cangzhou, Zhou Jiyun's camp, he also welcomed a guest. A month ago, Kunling County defeated the two armies attacked by Qi. The troops led by him even defeated Jie Bao and retreated into Cangzhou County. He never dared to come out again. He was a complete victory.

"Elder Wu, I firmly oppose your so-called plan." Zhou Jiyun waved his arms: "No one knows better who Cao Yun is than me. This is definitely a conspiracy of the court."

Wu Su looked at Zhou Jiyun coldly: "Jiyun, don't think you are smart alone. Could it be that you think you are better than Mr. Zhou Yifu? What you are worried about is he who can't think of? You just need to do what you should do. There is no need to worry about the rest of the things, and the boss will naturally solve Cao Yun's problem."

"So, the boss actually knows that Cao Yun has a problem?" Zhou Jiyun looked at the other party in confusion.

"I said, you just need to do what you want to do. If you have a relationship with the Ming people, this is not a bad thing, but now, you should not stay in Cangzhou. Now we need you to concentrate your efforts to attack Luzhou. If you can achieve a few more big victories, it would be even better." Wu Su said. "This is not a loss to you, right? Is it different to you to fight Cangzhou or Luzhou?"

"How come there is no difference?" Zhou Jiyun smiled bitterly. He attacked Cangzhou to open a passage to the Hengduan Mountains. Moreover, after the defeat of Jiebao, Cangzhou was already extremely weak, while Luzhou still had entrenched 80,000 to 90,000 troops. More importantly, the Qi court may be able to transfer troops to the city at any time.
