Qi Ning knew very well in his heart that although Longtai was young, he was a very ambitious emperor, and now the court of Chu was not monolithic, and there was a powerful Han State in the north, which was naturally under great pressure for Longtai, and if the Northern Han Dynasty really fell into civil strife, it would also be able to loosen the pressure on Longtai a little.

"Your Majesty, once the Northern Han Dynasty falls into civil strife, it will inevitably be a major loss of vitality and a weakening of the national strength." Qi Ning walked to Longtai's side and said: "Once the national strength of the Han State is weakened, it will be easier for us to deal with if we fight, and if we don't fight, we will also be able to get more time to recuperate." ”

Long Tai bowed slightly, turned around, and asked, "The prince of Dongqi sent his relatives here, and I summoned him once, but I didn't promise him anything. In the past few days, the king of Huainan and the people of the Ministry of Rites are entertaining, and the king of Huainan has given me the meaning of the prince of Eastern Qi, and the Eastern Qi wants to take advantage of the civil strife in the Northern Han Dynasty to join forces with the two countries to attack the Northern Han Dynasty together. ”

"When I was in the Qi Kingdom, they had already revealed this meaning to me." Qi Ning said: "I don't know what the emperor is planning?" ”

"Yue Huanshan, the general of the Qinhuai Army, has already reported to the imperial court, there is no change on the side of the Han army, it is still heavily guarded, and the general of the Han army is a veteran, and it is not easy to deal with after a long battle." Long Tai said slowly: "After the death of Beitang Huan, the Han army will be more vigilant against the movements of our Chu State and Qi State, this time the Qi State sent their relatives here, it is impossible for the Han people not to know, they are not fools, Qi and Chu are married, they will not be indifferent." ”

Qi Ning nodded and said, "What the emperor said is extremely true. They will definitely be wary of our two countries joining forces. ”

"Once the war starts, it can only be my Chu army and the Han army fighting." Long Tai smiled faintly: "The Han people know very well that the key to victory or defeat lies in whether they can withstand our Chu army, Qi has nothing to do with the overall situation, as long as they defeat our Chu army, the Qi army will not attack and retreat." He slowly walked to the side, sat down, and said: "At the beginning, the people of Qi have been wandering left and right, and they have not the slightest intention of joining forces with my Great Chu. ”

"Since the emperor sees through the intentions of the Qi people, will he let go of this opportunity?" Qi Ning also sat down on the side.

Long Tai shook his head and smiled: "A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if I want to let it go, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree." Soldiers, the great weapons of the country, cannot be moved lightly, but when it is time to make a move, we must not be ambiguous. ”

Qi Ning smiled: "The emperor must know it in his heart. ”

Long Tai said: "The people of Qi want to join forces, why don't we agree?" However, if they want to use our Chu State, it will not be easy. What I mean is that if the people of Qi want to fight, we will not stop them, as long as they take the lead in sending troops, defeat Maling Mountain, and step into the territory of the Han Kingdom, we will immediately cross the Huai River and attack them in two ways. ”

"The emperor said let them fight out first?"

"Not bad." Longtai said: "Since they want to take this opportunity to get benefits, they should pay something, there is never a free lunch in this world." Only by letting the Qi State bleed and fighting to the territory of the Han State and retreating without retreat, will we believe in their sincerity, otherwise our Chu State will take the lead in sending troops, and when the time comes, they will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, which is not so cheap. Then his expression was slightly solemn, and he lowered his voice and said: "And once the war with the Han Kingdom starts, it will not end in a year and a half, Qi Ning, the current situation in the court, you also know that if the court is restless at home, it is easy to start a war with the outside world, I am afraid that it will attract unimaginable consequences." ”

Qi Ning's expression also became serious, and he said softly: "Is the emperor worried that the battle between the King of Huainan and the Duke of Zhenguo will affect the battle situation?" ”

"Once the war starts, our Chu State will go all out on the Northern Expedition." Longtai said: "The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and the Chu State must also work together." He said softly: "Back then, the Qinhuai War,
