Chapter four hundred and twentieth: find a vicious thug
This is an emergency report from Baoxing.
Cheng Wuben read the report jointly issued by Zhang Xiaozheng and Chen Jialuo in silence, gently placed it on the small table beside him, raised his head and looked at Qin Feng.
On this report, the kitten explained in detail that Baoqing's Chu army had already suffered a catastrophe, but Qin Feng did not see any panic on Cheng Wuben's face. This calmness that was still indifferent to the mountains and rivers collapsed before made Qin Feng admire him.
"What do you think about Cheng Shuai?" Qin Feng asked.
"I'm careless!" Cheng Wuben's brows jumped, "I'm blamed for this, I'm too hasty."
"It seems that Cheng Shuai is not worried about them." Qin Feng asked with some surprise.
Cheng Wuben laughed: "It's already like this, what's the use of my worry? Haven't your people already written clearly in the report? They have sent troops to rescue. Since there are reinforcements, I don't have to worry. Wu Ling's appearance was an accident, but I believe that Jiang Tao and the Chu army's ability may be easy to defeat them, but they will definitely be able to hold on until your aid arrives. Attack inside and outside, and wipe out Molo. I think, this is exactly what you want, right?"
"How can I see it?"
"This is very simple. You can tolerate Baoqing's existence with a Chu army, but you will never tolerate Baoqing's existence with Moluo. Especially now that Luo Yishui is ready to retaliate, if you don't kill Moluo quickly, you are afraid you won't be able to sleep, right?" Cheng Wuben said with a smile.
Qin Feng gave a thumbs up: "Shuai Cheng is a sensible person, but my original plan was not like this."
"What was General Qin's previous plan? Cheng wanted to hear it. To be honest, the process of making a fortune is too legendary, which is unbelievable. It is really amazing to have such a large foundation in two years." Cheng Wuben said.
"Baoqing's Chu army is indeed as you expected. I will not touch him. Keeping you is the capital for me to bargain with Qi State, and let the people of Qi know that if they are not good to me, I may turn against each other at any time." Qin Feng laughed.
"I can think of this."
"I heard that Cheng Shuai has arrived in Baoqing, and I have been waiting for you to come to Taiping City. I originally wanted to discuss with you how the two armies united to destroy Moro, but now the situation has changed, my thoughts have changed." Qin Feng looked at Cheng Wuben with malicious intentions.
"Isn't it the same now? We still united to destroy Moro." Cheng Wuben said calmly.
"It's very different!" Qin Feng looked at Cheng Wuben: "Now you are in danger. If we don't take action, you may be destroyed by Molo. We have two choices. Wait for Molo to destroy you, and we will kill him. The second choice is to cooperate inside and outside to destroy Molo."
"The Chu army is gone, and you will have no bargaining chips for you to bargain with Qi!" A trace of haze flashed through Cheng Wuben's eyes.
"No, no!" Qin Fengtou shook like a plucking drum. "There is only one of Cheng Shuai, who can be regarded as thousands of Chu troops. As long as you are still in our Taiping Army, Qi State will have to negotiate with me and have to make a false promise with me."
"I will leave at any time." A trace of anger flashed across Cheng Wuben's face.
Qin Feng looked at Cheng Wuben with a smile: "Ship Cheng, if I sit down and watch Bao Ming be destroyed, will you really leave?"
Taking a deep breath, Cheng Wuben looked at Qin Feng. The young man in front of him was not a foolish and scheming general, but was extremely delicate. He said it right. If that were the case, he would never leave the Taiping Army, because he still had to make Qin Feng miss the State of Chu.
"You won, tell me, what do you want?" Cheng Wuben let out a breath of turbid air.
"Shishou Cheng, after we rescued Baoqing's Chu army this time, we have two choices. The first choice is to hide in Baoqing, but I will further compress your activity space. To put it bluntly, you will not be able to leave Baoqing Port in the future. The second choice is that you can not only leave Baoqing Port, but you can also go to many places." Qin Feng looked at Cheng Wuben with a smile.
He was stunned at first, but immediately, Cheng Wu understood Qin Feng's thoughts, "Do you actually think of using this Chu army to fight for you?"
Qin Feng laughed: "This army comes from the eastern border army of Chu. It has great military achievements. If such a good thug is idle in Baoqing, wouldn't it be a waste? Cheng Shuai, I believe you have guessed that I will manage Yue Kingdom and replace it in the next step. So, I want them to participate in it. What do you think?"
"Of course I can't ask for it!" Cheng Wuben smiled, "Isn't this exactly what we are pursuing? The Chu army and the Taiping army united."
"No, no, no." Qin Feng shook his head and said, "It cannot be the Chu army. If you want to get out of Baoqing, you must change your appearance. The flag of Chu is absolutely not allowed to be fired. You are just a battle camp of my Taiping Army. In addition..."
Cheng Wuben said calmly: "What else do you want?"
"After the Chinese New Year, I will soon reorganize the Taiping Army." Qin Feng said lightly: "Now, the Taiping Army is responsible for everything, military and civil affairs. After the Chinese New Year, I will separate the military and civil affairs. Does Cheng Shuai still remember the military departments that Emperor Qing had set up before?"
"Emperor Li Qing? Special military departments?" Cheng Wuben was a little surprised. "Emperor Li Qing had many military yamen at that time, but later Emperor Tang felt that these departments were too large, with too heavy financial burdens, bloated institutions, and overworked people, so he cancelled them one after another, merged or changed his name. Now it is basically beyond recognition, and there is basically no one left. What are you talking about?"
Qin Feng said: "That's because the Tang Dynasty later could not find an opponent, and these institutions seemed to be idle. But now we are enemies on all sides. In fact, these institutions have clearly divided the various responsibilities, each in charge of one's own position, and each performs its own duties. As long as it is done well, they can play a huge role. So I am also planning to follow the example of Emperor Li Qing, establish a general staff department, specialize in planning strategies, battles, etc., set up a combat department, specialize in issuing military orders, establish a military training department, specialize in military training, set up a logistics department, specialize in logistics supply, set up an intelligence department, specialize in collecting and analyzing various types of intelligence, and separate all civil affairs, and establish a Ministry of Civil Affairs. These are directly under the General's Mansion."
"What do you mean?" Cheng Wuben looked at Qin Feng in confusion.
Qin Feng looked at Cheng Wuben with a smile: "Don't Cheng Shuai want to stay in my Taiping Army? There is no problem. Please help Cheng Shuai be the minister of my General Staff, give me advice and manage the Yue Kingdom. With Cheng Shuai here, I think Jiang Tao will definitely fight for me honestly. I know that he is Cheng Shuai's direct confidant and is loyal to you."
Cheng Wuben shook his head and sighed: "You really have a good idea. Are you not afraid that my Chu army will gradually grow up after participating?"
"A army of thousands of people cannot make a big wave, and you will always be the vanguard of our Taiping Army." Qin Feng stared at Cheng Wuben, "No matter what you think, the number of this Chu army will definitely not be allowed to exceed 5,000 people. Once it exceeds, don't turn against me."
Cheng Wuben pondered for a moment: "Why do you have such an idea? To be honest, I feel a little incredible. Didn't you always think that our Da Chu is your ultimate enemy?"
Qin Feng sneered: "At least our interests are the same now. What do you want to do? I know that since you have something to ask for me, I naturally have to find ways to completely squeeze out your value. To be honest, I will officially turn against Yue Kingdom, and the ones who will face me will be those old foxes from Yue Kingdom, even Luo Yishui. I am not sure to win. You also know that I used to be just a captain and a general under my jurisdiction, and none of them commanded an army of more than 10,000 people. Now the enemy is weak. If we encounter something similar to us or even stronger, we might have to eat turtles. You will be different. The dignified Chu iron wall will greatly improve our Taiping Army's strategic planning ability and tactical application ability. I believe we can benefit a lot from you."
Cheng Wuben nodded slightly, "Today I really look at you with admiration. You do have the characteristics of a hero. You dare to use someone like me. General Qin, I want to ask you again, if I really help you conquer Yue and let you dominate the north, will you form an alliance with the Great Chu and deal with Qi together? The chaos of Yue is imminent. If you put aside the interference of the external Qin State, it may take a few years to realize your ideal."
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes, "Maybe he will!"
"Maybe?" Cheng Wuben's two eyebrows gradually stood up: "Is this your answer to me? How can this convince me and how can I do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best? You know my ultimate goal is to open up a second battlefield for Da Chu."
Qin Feng looked straight at Cheng Wuben, "If I had really had that time, at least one thing I could be sure of, I would not be a friend of Qi. Cheng Shuai, just for this, you should also take a try. Maybe by that time, I will suddenly be willing to form an alliance with the Chu people?"
"I need to think about it." Cheng Wuben said.
"No problem, this is indeed something that should be considered well." Qin Feng said: "If you want, you are the Minister of the General Staff, Jiang Tao will be the commander general of the Chu people's camp, and I will use Ma Xiangnan. You know, I also lack the people-friendly officials with rich governance experience. I heard that this Lord Ma used to be an official in the local area and had outstanding political achievements."
"You actually want to wipe out all the fish in a basket!" Cheng Wuben shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"I am so eager to seek talent now!" Qin Feng laughed.
