In the huge Deng mansion, there was a faint sound of terrible screams, Yuan Yiqiu's heart jumped slightly, looking at Deng Hong in front of him, but Deng Hong did not move, but in his eyes, Yuan Yiqiu saw a trace of sadness, but it was also fleeting.

"Fundamentally change, it's either reborn or it's over, it's as simple as that." Deng Hong suddenly craned his neck and poured a big sip of wine, the liquor was like a throat, but he suddenly coughed violently.

"If it weren't for your insistence, Daqin might still have time to change all this." Yuan Yiqiu was a little unconvinced.

"Really?" Deng Hong sneered disdainfully, "I'm afraid it's not likely, Deng has been imprisoned here for three years, but what I see is that my Great Qin is not as good as day by day, and now it is finally on the verge of collapse." ”

"That's because you used the sword soldiers without permission, so that Daqin's living force was destroyed in one fell swoop." Yuan Yiqiu said angrily.

"Yuan Gong, don't forget, it was my Deng clan's army that died in Hengdian." Deng Hong sighed: "If it weren't for this, how would I be trapped in a lonely house here." ”

He raised his head and stared at the thick dark clouds in the sky, as if he saw the children of the Deng family who died in battle one after another in Hengdian, and an old tear slowly slid across his face from the corner of his eye.

"It's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to God to make things happen!" He muttered: "There is nothing wrong with all the plans, the only mistake is the battle of Hengdian, we lost, haha, I thought I would win the battle, but I lost so much that I didn't even have underwear." Yuan Gong, this is the root of my failure, I calculated everything, but I didn't calculate, we will lose this battle. The Ming people, while quelling the civil strife, withstood the attack of the Qi people and crushed our army in Hengdian, and the first battle laid the foundation for their country. Yuan Gong, you said that at that time, if we also put the Thunder Army into the Battle of Hengdian, will this battle be another result? ”

Yuan Yiqiu's heart seemed to have been hit hard, yes, if that battle can also put the Thunder Army on the battlefield, will it win, if it wins this battle, Daqin will indeed be a phoenix nirvana and be reborn from the ashes.

"It's a pity, there are no ifs. Because at that time, even if I made this request to the emperor, the Thunder Army would not go out of Yongdu for half a step! Deng Hong sighed: "Your Majesty is afraid that I will rebel!" Yuan Yiqiu, do you think I will rebel? ”

Yuan Yiqiu shook his head involuntarily.

"How could I rebel!" Deng Hong smiled bitterly, "What I seek is to make my Great Qin truly strong, go out of the Western Frontier, go to the mainland, and dominate the world." What I want is just to make Great Qin raise his eyebrows, and he is no longer the poor country of the mainland countries! ”

Looking at Deng Hong, who was already very old in front of him, Yuan Yiqiu suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, yes, this person has either done a lot of wrong things, or he has no reverence for the royal family at all, but he is indeed a person who is loyal to Daqin.

"What I want is just to get a reputation and reputation like Li Zhi after death, and to be admired by all the people, so that they know that it was I Deng Hong who led them to prosperity, so that when I get under Jiuquan, I can stand proudly in front of Li Zhi and Li Dashuai, and tell him, Li Shuai, you did wrong before, I am right." Deng Hong muttered.

"The winner is the king and the loser is Kou, I lost, and I don't have the face to see Li Zhi." Looking at Yuan Yiqiu, Deng Hong smiled bitterly: "Yuan Yiqiu, Daqin is also about to end, today, my Deng family, all of them have died in Si, and it can be regarded as a rest with the country." ”

Yuan Yiqiu took a deep breath and suppressed all kinds of emotions in his heart, disgust, respect, hatred, and admiration were entangled in his heart, so that he couldn't tell what kind of mood Deng Hong was in at the moment.

"Great Qin won't end." He said to Deng Hong sonorously: "The prince is about to lead his troops to conquer, and someone from Yuan will also go to the battlefield, with 50,000 thunder troops as the core, and 200,000 troops have been recruited, and they are about to embark on a journey in the near future, recapture the tiger prison, expel the Ming army, exterminate the rebels, and recapture Qingzhou." Lord, His Majesty the Emperor opened the treasury, but also opened the private treasury of the royal family, and took out all the wealth accumulated by the royal family over the past hundred years. ”

Listening to Yuan Yiqiu's words, Deng Hong laughed hesitantly: "Yuan Gong, the two armies are fighting, but it is not a few impassioned words that can win the victory, although the Thunder Army is brave, but it is only more than 50,000 people, and the Ming army, any Zhenshang main battalion is not inferior to the Thunder Army, and even their miner battalion, the wind chasing battalion and other units, no matter in terms of combat effectiveness and will to fight, they are superior, not to mention that their sophisticated equipment is beyond our comparison." ”

"Deng Gong doesn't have to be ambitious, what you can't do, we may not be able to do." Yuan Yiqiu sneered.

Deng Hong shook his head: "The 200,000 army does sound like a lot, but what can really be regarded as elite?" 200,000 troops went on the expedition, the consumption was huge, the grain and grass were heavy, and how much did the military expenditure be? Can our national strength withstand it? Will this battle be won quickly or prolonged? ”

"A quick win, of course." Yuan Yiqiu said affirmatively: "Now the army of the Ming people in the Tiger Prison Pass has been found to be only the Chasing Wind Battalion, the Baoqing Battalion, and the others are all Tiger Prison Army, which is still in the process of reorganization, although there are many Tiger Prison troops and strong combat effectiveness, but the new Ming people, I am afraid that they will not be sincere, and there is not much combat effectiveness left, and more importantly, the Tiger Prison army is all my Qin people, as long as the imperial army arrives, there will inevitably be a heart to resist the Great Qin, welcome my imperial army, and victory can be expected." ”

Deng Hong glanced at Yuan Yiqiu: "Duke Yuan, with all due respect, you said that the Tiger Prison army will rise up to greet you after the arrival of the imperial army, is it a guess or there is already a specific candidate?" Have they already surrendered to the court? ”

Yuan Yiqiu's old face flushed: "This is not true, but the Hubin army is also the people of Great Qin." ”

Deng Hong sighed, "This is a national war, how reckless is this?" What if no one resists the Ming army and welcomes the imperial army at that time? What if the Tiger Prison army did not resent Xiao Qiang's death and held a grudge against the imperial court, and was bent on avenging Xiao Qiang? It is true that the Ming people did not have many garrisons in the Tiger Prison, but in Kaiping County, they still had several war camps stationed, and it didn't take long to enter the battlefield. ”

"The Ming army stationed in Kaiping County will be restrained by Lu Ding, and the emperor has already sent an envoy to Danyang County, and Danyang and Qingzhou have been given to Lu Ding, allowing him to split the territory and seal the territory. Lu must have captured Danyang, isn't that what it means? Then the court can satisfy him. Yuan Yiqiu said.

Deng Hong lowered his head for a long time, and when he raised his head again, he sneered: "Lu must be this, ambitious, but not very courageous, good at planning, but not good at judgment, what you give is indeed what he wants, but this person is very smart, he will only rely on the powerful, and now Daqin, I am afraid that he can no longer give him confidence." As long as the Ming people scare him, he will change his course, as long as the army of the imperial court suffers a defeat, he will immediately wave a knife and cut you again, so as to curry favor with the new master. You are counting on him to contain the Ming army, it is really whimsical. ”

Yuan Yiqiu snorted coldly: "Lu must be good, Xiao Qiang is good, they are all your Deng Hong's former right-hand men, all of them are ambitious rebellious ministers and thieves, how can they get rid of them?" Deng Hong, promoting such people to hold power, do you regret it now? ”

"What is there to regret." Deng Hong sneered: "When the old man was in power, they were not as well-behaved as puppies, Yuan Gong, those who have great talents must have ambitions, just see if you can control them, now no one can control them, they will naturally have different thoughts." Could it be that the superior can only use some flies to survive for his own safety? What is the difference between him and self-destruction? ”

"Lord Wang, don't you claim to be a loyal minister of Great Qin? Now that the army is about to set off, the national war is at the head, and if you don't win, you will die, can't you say a few nice words? Yuan Yiqiu was furious.

"Those who are about to die have good words and mourn their songs!" Deng Hong said coldly: "Loyal words are against the ear, good medicine is bitter, Yuan Yiqiu, if you want me to praise a few words, then you also want your method to be right." If this battle is bound to be fought by the imperial court, it will definitely be a defeat, and it will also take away the last breath of Daqin, I haven't finished talking about it before, in addition to the above questions, if the general of the army has the prince to take responsibility, it is even more wrong, dare to ask the prince from birth to the present, has he been on the battlefield once? Talking on paper misleads the country and the people. ”

"If you don't fight, are you waiting for Mingren to come to the door?"

"I'm just waiting for them to knock on the door!" Deng Hong nodded: "Abandon the small city, gather heavy troops to guard important passes, drag on with the Ming people, drag the war as long as possible, while fighting, while sending people to talk with the Ming, don't talk about recovering the tiger prison and reviving the Great Qin Xiongfeng, just hope that this half of the country can be preserved." The goal of the Ming people is to compete with the Qi people, and they don't want to spend too much time with us, as long as we can hold on, we can survive, and then accumulate strength, and wait for the conflict between the Ming people and the Qi people to break out and then try to make a difference. Gong Yuan, don't fight hard, Qin Feng is waiting to fight with us to decide the winner! ”

Listening to Deng Hong's words, Yuan Yiqiu couldn't help but feel excited.

"It is not possible to have no general in the court, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't afford this burden now, recruit Bian Wushuang to return to Beijing, give him full power, the emperor governs, Bian Wushuang manages the army, shrinks the troops, gradually resists, and seeks peace while fighting, this is what we should do now."

"Summoning Bian Wushuang back to Beijing to take full control of the army? Lord Wang, aren't you ...... with Bian Wushuang"

"I'm going to die, what grudge do I have?" Deng Hong said lightly: "Bian Wushuang has fought with me all his life, so there is no doubt about his talent, but I am afraid that the emperor will not do it!" Hehe, Yuan Yiqiu, relay my words to the emperor, or that sentence, people are dying, their words are good, birds are dying, and their songs are also mourning. ”
