"Father!" Seeing Deng Zhong open the door and standing at the threshold, Deng Fang was surprised and bowed. Deng Zhong nodded slightly. The eldest son had very different personalities from him and his other two sons. He had always been introverted, and he was extremely cunning, and was disliked by himself. The path Deng Fang took was also very different from other Deng's children. After polishing the border army for a period of time, he left the border army and entered the Qin army's spy system. From then on, he was like fishing and rose smoothly from an ordinary official.

In fact, whether it is the Emperor of Qin, Bian, or even Li Zhi, he is not willing to see Deng Fang master the dark organization of Qin. But the problem is that Deng Fang has done too well in this industry, so outstanding that no one can hide his light. If he is forced to suppress it, he must worry about Deng's reaction. After several battles, in the end, Deng Fang has firmly grasped the real power of this organization. Instead of being truly nameless, the Emperor of Qin simply made a generous decision and made Deng Fang the supreme leader of this organization.

But it was also from that moment on that time that in the battle between Deng and Bian, the emperor began to favor Bian. This is also the confidence that the Bian clan dared to infiltrate a large number of border troops controlled by Deng over the years.

Deng Fang was about to say something else, but Deng Zhong was slightly tilted. From the place where his father was moving away, 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 trace of light flashed in his eyes, but then he lowered his eyes again, walked into the house with his hands, bowed and bowed: "I have seen Li Shuai."

"Come from Yue?" Li Zhi nodded slightly, lifted his feet out of the basin, pulled over a towel on the side, wiped it randomly, 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 immediately closed tightly behind him.

"Yes, but I only heard about the matter here when I was about to arrive here." Deng Fang stood in front of Li Zhi and said respectfully. "Congratulations to Li Shuai, Kaiping County will eventually return to my Qin."

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

"Thank you, Li Shuai!" Deng Fang bowed again, then he came down, looked up at Li Zhi, 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. There was no smile in the depths of those eyes, which was completely different from Deng Su.

"You have focused on Taiping Army during this period?" Li Zhi twisted the small teacup with his fingers and slowly rubbed the robe with his other hand.

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

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

"From the intelligence we have obtained and the movements of the Taiping Army, their target should be Zhengyang County." Deng Fang said: "We have bribed some people, but these people cannot access confidential information, but we still obtained some of their food and grass transfers and material supplies. From these documents, we judged that they wanted to obtain Zhengyang County."

Li Zhi let out a long sigh: "If this is the case, that would be great."

"That's great?" Deng Fang did not react for a moment.

Deng Zhong walked over and sat next to Li Zhi, nodding vigorously: "Of course, if Qin Feng's goal is to take down Zhengyang County, then it would be great for us. At least, they would not be our obstacles."

Deng Fang looked at Deng Zhong and Li Zhi in a little confused.

Deng Zhong lifted the boiling water and rushed into the teapot. The smell was swaying and the heat was swaying. Deng Zhong said: "Do you think Li Shuai has been on the front line just to win Kaiping County?"

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

"Baoqing's Chu Jun?" Li Zhi's voice suddenly increased.

"Yes, Moluo jumped over the wall and merged with the Chu army. When the Chu army was over, the Taiping Army suddenly took action and attacked the Chu army forward and backward, defeating all Shuntian Army. Moluo's subordinates, including Bao Hua and others, were all killed in battle. Moluo escaped alone, and his whereabouts were unknown. After that, the Taiping Army reached an agreement with the Chu army, and the Chu army, including Cheng Wuben, Jiang Tao, etc., surrendered to the Taiping Army." Deng Fang said: "Cheng Wuben is a strong enemy."

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

"Some trouble." Deng Zhong also sucked the cold air: "Cheng Wuben would not surrender to the Taiping Army. He mostly wanted to fish for big fish on a long line, and after supporting the Taiping Army, he competed with the Qi people to relieve the pressure on Chu State on the battlefield. This person is an old traitor and slim person. If he does his best to help the Taiping Army plan, the Taiping Army will be like a tiger with wings."

Li Zhi was silent for a moment, "The senior leaders of the Taiping Army, such as the kitten Zhang Xiaozheng, the wild dog Gan Wei, and others, all had great conflicts with the Chu army. Even if Cheng Wuben joined the Taiping Army, it might not be able to go smoothly. Qin Feng himself would only use Cheng Wuben. Both sides were not one-on-one. Whether it was the Chu army or Cheng Wuben, it was just a knife in his hand. Both sides might not be able to cooperate without interruption. Suspicion often ruined a good game of chess. Let's respond to changes in the same way, and see what the Taiping Army wants to do next? With such a large piece of fat meat in Zhengyang County in front of Qin Feng, can this young man really bear it?"

"I hope so! To be honest, I really hope to see that the Taiping Army has launched a large-scale move and pounced on Zhengyang County." Deng Zhong laughed.

Li Zhi also smiled, "No matter how it develops, we have steadily eaten in Kaiping County and will never vomit it again. It is a harvest. Even if we don't get anything later, it is no big deal. The Qin people have never had a big appetite. What we can eat is ours. Take your time, patience, and people who are used to suffering are more happy than having a bite of steamed bun. Even if we can't eat other good things, it doesn't matter. Anyway, we haven't eaten them before, right?"

"Li Shuai is open-minded!" Deng Zhong nodded with a smile, "But it's right. This time, we have made money, it depends on the big and small profits. Now the spring plowing has begun, and I don't know when the officials of the court will come over to take over? We can't keep asking the army to supervise the farmers to go to the fields to farm, right? If we miss the farming time, we will not be able to make a profit."

"It's coming soon." Li Zhi smiled faintly. "Even if the Bian family wants to make things difficult for you, they don't dare to play any tricks here."

"It depends entirely on Shuai Li." Deng Zhong said with a smile.

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

"Master, I really don't understand Qin Feng very much. Sometimes he is cruel and ruthless, sometimes he is a womanly kind. In Anyang, he cruelly killed Yang Yi and others, but he let go of the scissors that he hated the most, which is difficult to understand. Overall, this person is best at managing and training military and fighting, but he is also very powerful in knowing people and responsibilities. Now Quan Yun in Shayang County and Ge Qingsheng in Taiping City are all dedicated to serving him. With these experienced civil servants, he helps him manage the place, making him feel like a tiger.

Yi." Deng Fang said. "In the past two months, I have been walking around Shayang County, Changyang County and other places. I originally wanted to go to Taiping City to see it, but it was the old nest of the Taiping Army and was extremely cautious. Moreover, Guo Jiuling also surrendered to Qin Feng, so I did not take the risk. However, I collected some information from outside and learned about the general situation inside. Taiping City now has about 100,000 people. Due to geographical reasons, it is probably difficult to break. Moreover, they are planning to build a second city. Just this spirit and financial resources are so shocking!"

“How is the situation in Shayang County?”

"It's very rich. Although there has been poisoned by Molo's war, it recovered extremely quickly. Qin Feng implemented the clearance of land in Shayang County and reformed commercial taxes. It was strongly supported by the people and greatly improved its wealth. It is hard to imagine that the five great masters of Shayang actually bowed to him and let him scrape his flesh on his body without resisting. This is a strange thing." Deng Fang shook his head repeatedly: "Our Qin Dynasty also made clear land, but in the end it was gone without success and nothing was done."

"That's because Qin Feng gave them greater hope, and now the Taiping Army is winning one after another, so the contradictions are suppressed. Once the Taiping Army is defeated, some contradictions will be exposed." Deng Zhong said.

"In other words, if the Taiping Army has been victorious and has been constantly expanding its territory, the five major members who are dependent on the Taiping Army can gain benefits in a wider territory. The small Shayang County is naturally no problem. It has to be said that these people are quite visionary and courageous, much stronger than some of our local rich men in the Qin Dynasty. If these people have a longer-term vision, why would our Qin border army be as poor as this? They don't even have the ability to fight several major battles." Deng Fang said with some resentment.

Li Zhi smiled slightly, and he could naturally hear what Deng Fang meant.
