Qin Wang's voice fell, and a figure walked out of the back hall, it was Shen Qingming.

"Senior Brother Gu, do you remember Brother Foolish?" Shen Qingming looked at Gu Feng with a smile, and his eyes were full of joy of meeting.

"Senior Brother Shen?" Gu Feng stood up in surprise, "Why did Senior Brother come to Xinzhou with the general?" He asked again in surprise.

"Senior brother couldn't get mixed up, so he came to join you, and I happened to meet the general on the road, so I came with him." Shen Qingming strode to the ancient cover and took Gu Feng's hand, "Okay, good, you and my brother haven't seen each other for a few years, I didn't expect my junior brother to have this achievement, it's really gratifying!" ”

"Senior brother, don't laugh at your junior brother, with your senior brother's talent, if you don't go home and worry about it, your achievements will definitely be above your junior brother, senior brother, why did you suddenly appear here?" Seeing that the senior brother who took the most care of himself when he was studying suddenly appeared in front of him, Gu Feng was overjoyed, and he had a hundred questions in his heart, and he couldn't wait to ask them all.

Hearing Gu Feng ask this, Shen Qingming's face darkened, "The family has suffered, and there are only foolish brothers, your sister-in-law and nieces left in the family of more than a dozen people." ”

Gu Gai was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth to say something comforting, and finally turned into a heavy sigh, but he didn't say it after all, he just took Shen Qingming's hand and tightened it tightly.

"Okay two, don't stand still, I still have some business, you sit down, I'll go first." Qin Forget looked at the two of them with a smile, and without waiting for the two to answer, he strode out, and closed the door for the two of them very carefully.

A yellow lamp, two plates of side dishes, and a large pot of rice are the specifications of Gu Feng's hospitality to Qin Wang.

In the dead of night, Qin Forget came to find Gu Feng, he had a lot to say to Gu Feng.

"Gu Feng, this time has really hurt you, although I didn't give you any help in Chicheng, but I know exactly what the situation is on your side." Looking at Gu Feng's dark and thin face, Qin Forget couldn't help but say again.

"What did the general say? Don't think of me as one of those powerless scholars. After saying this, he remembered that when the two met for the first time, he didn't even know where he was, and Gu Feng's black face turned red again.

"This period of time is a little bitter, but it is very fulfilling. To be honest, I am sometimes glad that the current NSW is a blank slate, and if it were a normal state, I would not be able to govern it well. ”

"My vision will not be wrong, you have the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, what you lack is just practice." Qin Forget agreed with his statement, "This time I came to Xinzhou, I wanted to ask you how to go in the future." I didn't feel it when I was so busy that my feet didn't touch the ground before, wait

After everything was done, I actually felt a little panicked, and I didn't know what to do during this time. ”

"How could the general have such an idea?" Gu Feng asked strangely, "This year's Tea Horse Market, our Chicheng has made a lot of money, so naturally it is a vigorous development and a solid foundation." Besides, we have left a good impression on the imperial court, and the Khitans and Uighurs have also reached a balance, and there should not be much change in the short term. What is the source of the general's fears? ”

"The source is in the tea horse market." Qin Forget stood up a little anxiously, "You don't know the specific situation in Xinzhou. On the surface, our Chicheng has made a lot of profits in the tea and horse market, but the five families such as Jin and Jia, the Dayan Imperial Court, the Golden Mountain, and even the Khitan and Lin, their profits are more than ten or dozens of times more than ours. Everyone is growing, the difference is that they are like an adult, growing faster, we are like a baby, the foundation is weak, and the speed is slower than others. I'm worried that in a few years, when the tea horse market is no longer so important, what will we do to protect ourselves. ”

Hearing Qin Forget say this, Gu Feng hesitated, "General, I have also thought about our future path, but there are some things that the general does not have an idea, and we subordinates don't know how to go." ”

Qin Forget suddenly turned his head and stared at Gu Feng with his gaze, "Gu Feng, forget this kind of thing for me." He scolded, seeing Gu Feng hurriedly get up and ask for guilt, Qin Wang's tone softened again, "I know what you're thinking, but you have to remember that we don't have that strength at all now, and if someone shows their mouth now, it will be a big disaster." ”

"General, this subordinate is all provincial, but the key now is that everyone is not sure whether the general has that mind." Gu Feng said boldly.

In fact, his thoughts also represent the thoughts of all Akagi civil officials and generals. These people are all from the bottom of the society, to put it bluntly, they are all abandoned by the imperial court, and they have never had a sense of belonging to the Great Yan Dynasty, let alone any loyal and patriotic thoughts. As the Akagi Group became more and more powerful, especially after defeating the invincible Khitans last time, many people had other thoughts. In their hearts, no matter how great the credit they have made in Dayan, no matter how big an official they are, they can't compare to a minister from the dragon.

Qin Forget sighed lowly, "You know, I have long been desperate for this world and this Dayan. After several years of snowstorms, the people of the entire northern land were about to starve to death, and they still did not see a grain of rice or a tael of silver from the imperial court. Even now, Dayan has received tens of millions of taels of silver in taxes from the Tea Horse Market, but they still turn a blind eye to these victims. Gu Feng, I know very well that we are a group of people who were abandoned by Dayan, and it was not easy for us to survive. As long as you can live, you can live with the people you care about,

Even if it is against the imperial court, it is not a big deal. If I'm loyal to the court, I'm going to be complicit with those bastards, and I won't allow me to do that myself. ”

"Well, if the general says so, we will be relieved." Gu Feng slapped his face, "Since the general said so, I have some ideas about how we should go next." ”

"Then you hurry up." Qin Forget asked eagerly.

"Just one word, chaos!" Gu Feng stretched out an index finger and confidently said what he thought.

"The heroes see the same thing, chaos, which is beneficial to Dayan, and can allow us to get a lot of benefits." Qin Wangjiao said.

"The general already has an idea?" Gu Feng exclaimed.

"That's right, even if the tea horse market is closed now, Akagi will be safe for a few years temporarily. But if we just develop steadily, we will definitely not be Dayan's opponent in the future. So we need the whole northern land to be in chaos, so chaotic that the Great Yan Imperial Court has no time to take care of us or needs us and can't touch us, but I'm a little unsure. ”

"Then the general is here this time, isn't it?" Gu Feng's eyes lit up and he pointed to the side of the guide.

"That's right, Yingzhou Wang Gan!" Qin Forget nodded, "He's been wreaking havoc with those chaotic people for a long time, it's time to clean them up." There are still two or three months to celebrate the New Year, and I will take Heishan County, Yingzhou as a New Year's gift for Emperor Dayan. ”

As the junction of Yingzhou and Xinzhou, the geographical location of Montenegro County is very important. The Luoxia Valley next to it is the only way to enter Yingzhou. Last time, Qin Forget and Huang Ling joined forces to attack Wang Tian in Xinzhou, and Heishan County once fell into Huang Ling's hands. But soon a large-scale plague broke out, Huang Ling abandoned the city in order to preserve his strength, and Qin Wang's main energy was on the treatment of the plague in Xinzhou, and he did not have the strength to send a large army to Montenegro County, and Montenegro County once again fell into the hands of Wang Gan's Blood Lotus Sect.

"But general, as far as I know, Wang Tian sent 50,000 troops to Heishan County, and they have been operating there for several months, and with the current 10,000 Tongzhou troops in Xinzhou, if you want to take it down, I am afraid that one month is not enough." Gu Feng frowned and said, "And we are still focusing on development now, the war must be resolved quickly, if it drags on for too long, it will be very bad for us." ”

"I understand, but don't worry, since I'm here, I'm pretty sure. As you know, I started preparing a few months ago, and I have already shipped enough weapons and equipment to Xu Shijun's army, and I am confident. Qin Forget said confidently.

"Does the general need me to do something?" Qin Wang's self-confidence also infected Gu Feng.

"You just need to be ready to accept the captives, Gu Feng, it won't be long before you have tens of thousands of extra strong laborers under your command."

"Okay, then I'll look forward to it." Gu Feng laughed.
