Chapter 945: This is a race

When he went across the capital, Qin Feng, who was working hard to review the memorials, sneezed loudly.

"Who is so proud of me?" He threw away the memorial in his hand, and the eunuch who served immediately handed over a pair of towels stained with water. He wiped his face a few times. Qin Feng, who was a little shriveled when he saw the memorial, immediately became refreshed.

He stood up, walked to the door of the hall, and looked into the direction of Qi, "This battle should be over, right?"

He said to himself.

Then, he saw his Minister of War, Xiaomao Zhang Xiaozheng, and Guo Jiuling, the leader of the Eagle Nest, come together.

"It seems that there is a result." Qin Feng smiled.

"Have you met Your Majesty!" The two ministers bowed and bowed.

After turning back to the big case full of notes, Qin Feng pointed to the chair in front of the big case, "Sit down and talk slowly!"

The kitten and Guo Jiuling looked at each other, and the kitten smiled and said, "Teacher Guo leads the way!"

Guo Jiuling nodded. Now what His Majesty wants to know the most is probably the progress of Qi Chu's battle, and he has just received the latest information about this.

"Your Majesty, the spies from Qi have just sent an urgent report. The emperor of Qi finally couldn't stand the pressure in the country and ordered Cao Yun to launch a general attack on Luzhou." Guo Jiuling said.

"That's great!" Qin Feng happily stroked his palms: "In this way, it would be impossible for Cao Yun to eat the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops in Luzhou in one bite. There will always be some who will break through the siege. The State of Chu still has some strength, and for us, that is the best result."

From the beginning of provoking the battle between Qi and Chu, Qin Feng's plan was to cause Chu to damage his vitality, but he still had to retain a certain ability to counterattack. In this way, he could hold back the view of Qi looking at the Ming Dynasty. The two countries had already become deeply hatred. If the Qi people did not completely resolve the Chu State or beat Chu State to no longer get up, it would be impossible to devote all their strength to the direction of Ming Dynasty.

"Let me talk about the situation in detail. What kind of constitution does Qi State have in China now?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Tao is gone." Guo Jiuling said in a deep voice.

"Jiang Tao!" He was stunned at first, and then he felt a little sad. "This is a talent. I wanted to keep this person at the beginning, but unfortunately, Jiang Tao and Jiang Shangyan did not leave any of them. Why didn't he have?"

"In order to cover Cheng Wuben's retreat, and to force Qi to launch a general attack on the Chu army in advance, Jiang Tao led 10,000 cavalry to attack the east and west, breaking through Zhou Jiyun's deployment, and breaking into the hinterland of Qi. Within one month, he swept across the four counties of Qi, causing considerable damage to Qi. Not only did he delay Zhou Jiyun's main cavalry, but he also forced the four counties of Qi to recruit countless county soldiers to encircle him. The result of this was that the support of these four counties for the Qi army in Luzhou was gone. Moreover, because of Jiang Tao's three-light policy, these four counties would find it difficult to restore their previous strength in the next few years. The war potential of Qi was greatly weakened."

“Three Light Policy?”

"Burn all, kill them all, grab them all!" Guo Jiuling gently spit out three words. "For the people of the four counties of Qi, Jiang Tao is a demon. Your Majesty, this person is just a scholar, but his heart is more cruel than ordinary generals."

"The enemy of him, my hero!" Qin Feng murmured: "This person is indeed a rare general."

"Jiang Tao was in Shangqiu and was surrounded by Qi general Zhou Jiyun, and the entire army was eventually destroyed. Jiang Tao's war was in trouble." Guo Jiuling said.

The hall was a little quiet, and they were naturally very familiar with Jiang Tao. When Qin Feng rose, the three Chu people, Cheng Wuben, Jiang Tao and Jiang Shangyan, all made great contributions.

After a while, Qin Feng continued, "Where is An Ruhai? How is it now? His voice is even greater than that of Jiang Tao!"

Guo Jiuling nodded: "According to Your Majesty's wishes, in addition to the spies in Qi who were trying their best to help him, another team of 100 people also joined An Ruhai's army. An Ruhai also accepted our opinions. It was no longer burning, killing, and robbing, but began to take action together in the Qi people wherever they passed. But we never expected that the people of Qi would be able to endure such a great momentum in the end. The spark of An Ruhai seemed to fall into the oil pan, and suddenly a huge fire ignited. Now even the Emperor of Qi who was disdainful of him at first had to pay attention to An Ruhai. It can be said that the Emperor of Qi helplessly ordered Cao Yun to launch an attack in advance, which was forced by An Ruhai's momentum."

"A few years ago, I had a deep conversation with Cao Hui, and at that time he was called Shu Hui." Qin Feng tapped his fingers on the table, "He talked to me about the embarrassment of Qi's purpose. He said that the class confrontation in Qi is becoming increasingly serious, the rich are becoming richer, the poor are becoming poorer, the land annexation is becoming more and more intense, and the lives of the common people are becoming increasingly difficult. Although Emperor Qi was willing to reform, he was afraid that this reform would cause a rebound from the powerful and nobles in the country, which would cause chaos in the country. At that time, the State of Chu was still quite powerful, Min Ruoying was eyeing him and followed him.

At that time, he might invade Qi. Therefore, Emperor Qi had a conclusion that if he did not defeat Chu, he would not be able to reform the country with peace of mind. Although Qi was strong, it was like cooking oil in a fire and could not last long. It was precisely because of this reason that Emperor Qi Cao Tiancheng would agree to return the three counties of Yiyang, Wuling and Taoyuan to us to the Ming Dynasty even though he knew it would be a big advantage, so as to get the favorable time and space for the battle against Chu. He wanted to seduce the people of Chu when Qi seemed to be very powerful, defeat the people of Chu in one fell swoop, and then use the power of great victory to reform the country."

"He almost succeeded." The kitten said proudly, "but now, he is in a cocoon."

"No, no!" Qin Feng shook his head, "The Emperor of Qi will succeed, but the price is much greater than he imagined. After this battle, even though the State of Chu retained some of its strength, it would no longer pose a major threat to the State of Qi. If Chu was a confidant in the past, it would at most be a scabies in the future. Emperor Qi could have freed up his hands to solve domestic problems."

"But An Ruhai now?" the kitten asked hesitantly.

"An Ruhai?" Qin Feng shook his head: "Kitten, do you still remember Moro?"

When Moluo was rising, Qin Feng had just adapted his subordinates into the Taiping Army. His power was weak and his control was only one county, and even Shayang County had not yet been obtained. At that time, Moluo was of great significance. Within a wave of hand, he often had an army of hundreds of thousands of thousands, but what was the final result? In less than a year, the rain blew away, and there was nothing left.

"An Ruhai's motivation is to rescue the siege for Luzhou, forcing Qi State to mobilize a large number of elite troops to encircle him, thus making Min Ruoying of Luzhou less pressure when breaking through. His strategy is centered on this, so he remembers his limitations, and the people we sent out also assisted him in copying everything about Moro. Therefore, he will severely damage the economy and people's livelihood of Qi State. Although An Ruhai seems to be in great power now, hundreds of thousands of people are rolling towards Chang'an, with the momentum of the sea, but as long as the main force of Qi State arrives, it is just a matter of a blink of an eye. Commander Guo, our people can withdraw."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Guo Jiuling nodded.

"Although An Ruhai's move severely damaged the economy of Qi, it was also a favor for Emperor Qi. In the past, the most difficult thing for Emperor Qi to do was the landlords and powerful people from all over the country. Now, An Ruhai has slapped these people for him, and Jiang Tao also killed the powerful people in the four counties he passed through. After the war, Emperor Qi could naturally extend his hand to these places without any resistance and control it in his hands. So, this is a double-edged sword. Although it severely damaged the economy of Qi, it also cleared the obstacles for Emperor Qi's subsequent reforms."

"I'm stupid, I didn't expect to go here." Guo Jiuling was stunned, and the kitten's eyes flashed.

"Think about our Changyang County!" Qin Feng laughed: "Moro cleared away the powerful and wealthy people in Changyang back then, and then our Ma County Ma was doing well in Changyang County without any obstacles, but our correct strategy was greatly hindered in Zhengyang and other places. It was not until the battle to annihilate the barbarians that they began to get on the right track. Every reform was a killing! This time, An Ruhai and Jiang Tao helped Emperor Qi do this. Emperor Qi was afraid that he was still very happy because he didn't have to raise his butcher knife anymore, which would be of great benefit to his next move!"

Guo Jiuling and Xiaomao were both blinking. They never thought about this kind of emperor's mind and thinking about problems.

"Since this happens, won't we have to deal with a more powerful Qi State in the future?" the kitten said in a daze.

Qin Feng laughed loudly, "So what? Kitten, you're thinking too much. For us, this battle is more beneficial than bad. Let's talk about Qi's economy first. If you suffer this heavy blow, you can recover. It's not something that can be done in a short time. Without four or five years, Qi will definitely smile at our Ming Dynasty. Although Chu was defeated, it still retained considerable strength. Just say Min Ruoying, even if he only escaped 30,000 to 40,000 people, these 30,000 to 40,000 people must be the most elite.

The Fire Phoenix Army, with these, the Chu State would still have the confidence. Cheng Wuben retreated to Jinghu and formed a second line of defense, which would form a stalemate with Qi State. Third, after the Qi people swallowed the fat piece of the six eastern counties of Chu State, it would not be easy to defend it. The Chu State had no burden and would be like a hunting dog in the future. Whenever there was a chance, they would definitely rush to the six eastern counties to take a bite, and they would deal with the Chu people who were determined to recover the six eastern counties. The Qi people had a headache."
