The good mood of the early morning was suddenly gone. Qin Feng returned to the house with a calm face, Tian Kang followed in, and then closed the door. Standing in front of Qin Feng and hanging his head, he was in the know, and naturally he also knew that the influence of this matter was not small, and it was very likely to have an extremely bad impact on the arrangement of the Ming Dynasty in the Chu State.

Qin Feng's mood at this time was really bad.

Of course, Ma Chao's purpose is not Qinghe County, nor does he want to go to the Luoying Mountains to become a bandit. He was carrying 5,000 cavalry, and what use could the cavalry be if they entered the mountains? His target should be the state of Chu.

Why did he run to the state of Chu? Why did Ma Yue pay such a big price, and he was desperate to cover Ma Yue to run towards Chu State? The conclusion is self-evident that they colluded with the state of Chu.

Scratching his hair irritably, Qin Feng looked at Tian Kang and sighed: "This is really a lesson, no one can be despised by anyone, all along, Ma Yue has given us the image of the kind of ambitious and talented guy, a person who has no foresight, his previous performance has always proved this, but when a person is driven to a dead end, he will really burst out with amazing abilities. His IQ exploded at this moment."

Tian Kang had never seen Qin Feng lose his temper like this, and he bowed his head and was silent.

"And Min Ruoying, a person who can calculate his eldest brother to death, and can play Zuo Dashuai to death, how can I underestimate him? I've been so smooth all these years, and I've been so smooth that I've gotten carried away, and I've been so smooth that no one is in sight. Min Ruoying's hand is playing beautifully! He took Bian Wushuang, and then found someone to check and balance Bian Wushuang in the back."

"Your Majesty, maybe they haven't colluded yet!" Tian Kang is still holding on to the hope of what happens.

"Impossible!" Qin Feng said categorically: "We have ignored one person, Ma Ying, the eldest princess of Great Qin, this imperial concubine has been so low-key that people can't notice her existence, but this matter is definitely her threading the needle in it. Min Ruoying accepted Bian Wushuang unconditionally, and let Bian Wushuang hold most of the soldiers and horses of the Chu State with both hands, how could there be no means of checks and balances?"

He looked at Tian Kang with a wry smile, "Since we surrounded Yongdu and Bian Wushuang was ready to surrender to Chu, Min Ruoying was already planning this matter. At that time, anyone could see that the Qin State was dying. Min Ruoying took over Bian Wushuang and divided Bian Wushuang's 50,000 elites into three parts, one part went to Jinghu with Bian Wushuang, one part went to suppress bandits with Bian Wenzhong, and the remaining 10,000 stayed in Anyang County. At the same time, there are also these 50,000 elite family members who have been placed in Anyang County, Tian Kang, you said that Ma Chao arrived in Anyang, suppressed the 10,000 soldiers and horses, and held the 50,000 elite family members, Bian Wushuang can be a rat bogey, and Min Ruoying may draw a ladder at any time!"

Tian Kang was silent for a moment, "Your Majesty, the ten thousand people who stayed in Anyang, they betrayed the Ma family and his son, but I am afraid that Ma Chao will not be so easy to subdue these people. Aren't they afraid that Ma Chao will settle accounts after the autumn?"

"It's a possibility. But the danger is there. Tian Kang sent someone to inform Bian Wushuang as quickly as possible, telling him that this situation, these 10,000 people, Ma Chao must not be allowed to succeed, otherwise there will be a big problem."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll send someone to do it right away." Tian Kang nodded and said: "Your Majesty, we have a second way, that is, to kill Ma Chao, as soon as Ma Chao dies, everything will be easy."

"He's in the army, it's hard to start, and he's bound to guard against us." Qin Feng sighed.

"Even if you have difficulties, you have to try to do it, and ask Master Huo Guang or Master He Rentu to go." Tian Kang said: "Our Eagle's Nest will do our best to assist, and over the years, our Eagle's Nest has also been working hard in the Western Army of Chu. There's still a lot to gain."

"If you kill Ma Chao like this, will Min Ruoying be alerted to the relationship between Bian Wushuang and us? This man is a conspirator, and he has a very keen sense of all kinds of conspiracies." Qin Feng had some doubts.

"Your Majesty, no. We destroyed the Qin State and killed Ma Yue, it is reasonable and reasonable, and we will not let Ma Chao go, Ma Chao escaped, for us, it was unacceptable. Coming up with all kinds of means to kill him is also the proper meaning of the question." Tian Kang shook his head and said: "Moreover, if Ma Chao stops in Anyang, it will pose a threat to Qinghe County, if this is Min Ruoying's deliberate plan, then Ma Chao will inevitably be put in power in Anyang, with soldiers and horses in his hands, and Ma Chao with logistics assistance, he will definitely cross the Luoying Mountains to attack us."

"Not for now!" Qin Feng said: "Now the State of Chu is still relying on us, since Ma Chao has voted for the State of Chu, he is the courtier of the State of Chu, he does not dare to have a dispute with us at this time, of course, we still have to do the precautions that should be done. Zhaoying Gorge still needs to be garrisoned."

Tian Kang nodded, "The Chu army has a well pass, and we must firmly grasp the Zhaoying Gorge just in case."

Qin Feng shook his head: "You go and do this. The imperial court will also exert pressure on the state of Chu, I will send an envoy to the capital, whether it is a threat or a temptation, in short, let Min Ruoying feel our anger. If you can take advantage of this incident to get a little more things back, it won't be a loss to vomit blood."

Tian Kang bowed silently and retreated. Next, some of him was busy.

As soon as Tian Kang left, Chen Zhihua hurried over, his face was very unpleasant.

"Your Majesty!"

Qin Feng nodded: "You also received the news?" I already know. Can you catch up?"

Chen Zhihua shook his head.

Although Yu Chao and Ma Monkey are still chasing, there has been a gap of hundreds of miles between them, and Ma Chao walked three days in advance. Our current pursuit, at most, can make Ma Chao not stay in one place for too long and poison the place, Your Majesty, now it seems that their destination should be to go through the Luoying Mountains to the Chu State. Along the way, we had to pass through three counties, and where we were, we had no troops, only a few civil servants and their guards, and then a dart board and some merchant guards." Chen Zhihua was silent for a moment and then said, "I'm afraid that these personnel of ours will suffer great losses. Ma Chao fled on a light horse, and the supplies they brought with them were not enough, so they would only walk all the way and grab all the way."

With a bang, Qin Feng slammed his fist on the table, just now he just thought that Ma Chao's escape to the Chu State might have a great impact on his layout in the Chu State, and now that Chen Zhihua reminded him of this, he remembered where a cavalry of five thousand people had passed, and he was afraid that the caravan and guards of the Ming people would become the object of their anger.

As Chen Zhihua said, the loss is not small, and the loss of wealth is still a small matter, but the loss of personnel is irreparable.

"Your Majesty, this is all my dereliction of duty!" Chen Zhihua knelt down on his knees, "If I could have thought of this in advance and set up a team of people to monitor the periphery, there would never have been such a major revelation. Please condemn your majesty!"

"It's not just your problem, it's mine." Qin Feng shook his head: "If you really want to be held accountable, I will bear the brunt of the crime."

"Your Majesty, military plans are all formulated by ministers, and the commander of the war is also ministers." Chen Zhihua raised his head, "The ministers will explain the whole thing to the Ministry of War and the Political Affairs Hall, and then ask the Military Department and the Political Affairs Hall to discuss the crimes of the ministers!"

Qin Feng smiled bitterly, Chen Zhihua didn't know about Bian Wushuang, and he didn't know that the impact of this matter was not only that Ma Yue would attack and kill the Ming caravan and guards along the way, but that it would have a great impact on the layout of the entire Chu State. The agreement between Qin Feng and Bian Wushuang was originally not too binding on both parties, and the factor that could really make the two sides finally go down the same path was the general trend of the world. But now there is such a variable, which makes everything a little unpredictable.

The only good thing is that the chess pieces that Da Ming laid in Jinghu, and now the only one exposed in front of Bian Wushuang is Ning Zhiwen alone.

But he doesn't want to say these to Chen Zhihua now.

"Since I'm here, it's not your turn to take the main responsibility." Qin Feng patted Chen Zhihua on the shoulder, it can be imagined how angry the kitten of the military department, Quan Yun of the Political Affairs Hall would be after knowing about this matter, this matter is too secret to be made public, but they will definitely find other reasons to punish Chen Zhihua in the future.

But for Qin Feng, Chen Zhihua is still a pretty good general in general, this battle to destroy the Qin State was basically completed by Chen Zhihua's command, he basically completed the task assigned to him by the imperial court, and won the entire war with minimal casualties.

If Qin Feng wants to save him, he can only take most of the responsibility on himself. Besides, I am indeed responsible for this matter, and I didn't think of this stubble at all!

"Your Majesty!" Chen Zhihua raised his head, his eyes were a little red.

"Okay, you're my general, how can you behave like a child? Let's get down to business! Yu Chao and Ma Monkey will continue to chase, not only will they have to chase, but then they will also send foot soldiers to follow up, preparing to garrison Zhaoying Gorge, and at the same time, they will also make an attack on Jingjing Pass, the imperial court will send a special envoy to the Chu State, and the army must cooperate in this regard."

"If Chu State doesn't hand over Ma Chao, we will march to Anyang!" Chen Zhihua stood up in a hurry.

"It can only be a threat, hoping to get some compensation. Ma Chao's matter, I have other arrangements, you just need to do these things well, you don't have to worry about anything else." Qin Feng said." Yongdu was initially decided, and there were a lot of problems, and the imperial court could not send people over for a while, and Yongdu still had to carry out military management for a long time. In addition, except for the army that went to the Luoying Mountain Range and the army stationed in Yongdu, the other troops will be called back."

"Yes, the ministers will make proper arrangements. Your Majesty thinks that force is going to the Lok Ying Mountains?" Chen Zhihua asked.

Qin Feng thought for a while: "Let Ke Zhen go, he is He Weiping's henchman, there is no problem with loyalty."
