The horse monkey rode his horse dejectedly and walked beside Qin Feng, looking back from time to time at the Jingjing Pass that had gradually faded away, as well as the lofty mountains and mountains that belonged to Anyang.

"What's wrong? Do you think of the past?" Qin Feng asked on the side.

"Your Majesty, in fact, I really want to go back and give those old brothers a pillar of incense and burn a few pieces of paper!" The horse monkey said sadly: "Back then, they were really good to me."

"Didn't bully you to death, did you?" Qin Feng touched his head.

"They don't have much ill will towards me, they just like to tease me!" Ma Monkey sighed: "Your Majesty, do you remember Scar Six, the guy who likes to bully me the most?" You've beaten him up for this?"

"Remember!"

"In the battle of Xiafengling, if he hadn't been stabbed a few times for me, and then lifted me up and threw me to your side, I would have died a long time ago, but he killed someone, and after the war, I didn't even find his head, and I was cut down by the border army of Qin and taken back to receive merit." Horse monkey road.

"After you came back, you cried for a long time, and stole my wine, and went to secretly pay tribute to Scar Six!" QIN Fengdao.

Ma Monkey smiled embarrassedly, "When I entered the death camp, I was only fourteen years old, although His Majesty has always taken care of me, but there are not so many brothers who deliberately serve me on the battlefield, I am afraid that I will die a long time ago."

"Well, it's really impossible for you to survive on the battlefield on my own." Qin Feng nodded, "You were still a kid at that time!"

Just like back then, Qin Feng reached out and touched the head of the horse monkey with some doting, "It's impossible for you to go back this time, you are the general who led the army, you are no longer the child you were at the beginning, you have to learn to take care of others."

The horse monkey lowered his head sadly: "I know, boss, this time I smeared your face."

"Growth comes at a price." Qin Feng withdrew his hand and looked into the distance: "Everyone can make mistakes, the important thing is to remember the lesson, just don't repeat the mistakes of the past."

"The horse monkey remembered."

"It's easy to remember, but it's hard to do." Qin Feng shook his head, "You will slowly realize it in the future, horse monkey, it is not the same as fighting with others, every decision you make will determine the life and death of thousands of people. This time, one of your mistakes caused more than six or seven hundred people to die, and I think you also feel the pressure, so the bigger the officer, the more soldiers you bring, the more cautious and cautious people will be. Do you feel that I am now very different from before, I don't do things as vigorously and resolutely as before, I always look ahead and think about the future?"

The horse monkey laughed: "When the boss was in the palace before, the horse monkey really felt this way, a thing that seemed very simple to the horse monkey, but His Majesty couldn't make a decision. But this time, the horse monkey felt that the old boss was back."

Qin Feng laughed: "The old man is crazy about teenagers, and when he goes back this time, he will definitely be nagged by Shoufu again. What do you say that the son of a daughter doesn't sit down, horse monkey, in the future, you will find that I am not as good as Qin Feng before, just like I told you before, every decision I make now is related to the livelihood of tens of millions of people, and even the life and death of tens of millions of people, little monkey, do you think I can still make decisions with a pat on my head like before?"

The horse monkey thought for a while, nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right, now is indeed different. My mind is still stuck in the past, and this is something you have taught me again, but the little monkey will rarely have time to return to the palace in the future."

"When the eaglet grows up, it has to soar into the sky to really grow up, not only physically, but also mentally." Qin Feng didn't rub the horse monkey's head again, but patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I remember." The horse monkey nodded. I'm going to go ahead and straighten out the army."

"Go, go, go!" Qin Feng waved his hand.

Looking at the horse monkey riding away, He Rentu on the side smiled and said, "The horse monkey will be a good general in the future."

"I also hope he can do a great job." Qin Feng said." He's been with me since he was fourteen."

"Your Majesty really doesn't plan to garrison troops in Zhaoying Gorge?" He Rentu was a little curious, tens of thousands of cavalry, thousands of infantry, really came to an armed parade like this, and then went back like this?

"There's no need to garrison troops here!" Qin Feng said: "Now that the Chu State is taking care of itself, what kind of threat does it still have the ability to pose to us?" Besides, where is there a guy like Bian Wenhao, it is even more impossible. Our biggest enemy now has become the Qi State, there is no need to consume our troops in these places, Master He, our Ming troops are not much, they are very precious!"

He Ren Tu chuckled: "It is true that Your Majesty has not paid for many soldiers, but when you really want to use it, Your Majesty gives an order, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of millions of soldiers can be gathered in an instant, right?" Raising troops for the people, such a thing, only His Majesty dares to do it, put it above any dynasty in history, who dares to do this? Is it too late to prevent the common people from rebelling? Even if it's like you?"

"If I do a good job, the people will not rebel, but will only support me, then the weapon in their hands is the weapon in my hand, take it out when it is needed, and hide it when it is not used. If I don't do a good job and they are going to rebel, then I have nothing to say." Qin Feng laughed and laughed.

"There is no such thing as a grand strategy, and An dares to say such a thing!" He Rentu gave Qin Feng a thumbs up." But Your Majesty, one day, we are going to attack the State of Chu, and this time will definitely be before the decisive battle with the State of Qi, so when the time comes, what will we do on the side of Anyang County?"

"For the state of Chu, we have been arranging for so long, that is, to reduce the war to the minimum scale as much as possible, of course, to fight, in the end, we have to fight. But Anyang is not in the plan." Qin Feng said lightly.

"But I see that Zhu Yi and Guan Hongyu are still very loyal to the Chu State." He Rentu was a little worried." Although there are only 10,000 Western troops left in Anyang now, the fighting quality of this army is not bad, and it can be seen from this ambush of the Thunder Army that the military discipline is strict and the cooperation is skillful."

"Loyalty is loyalty, but these Zhu Yi and Guan Hongyu are not Min Ruoying's henchmen, on the contrary, they are the characters that Min Ruoying hates more, and like An Ruhai, they are all old ministers of the previous generation. Extremely dissatisfied with the status quo of the Chu State. Zhu Yi and Guan Hongyu have been in Anyang County for ten years, and now they value it more. So if we can solve the Chu State quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly at that time, these two will not be a threat. This armed parade is just to let them see our military might and let them know that the general trend is irreversible."

"I see!" He Rentu suddenly realized, "I said, how can you go back so aggressively, it turns out that the key is here."

"That's not the point!" Qin Feng said with a smile: "It's just a chess piece in your hand, whether it can be effective or not, you have to say it, but if you don't plan for a while, why do you want to plan for eternity, sometimes the chess pieces that are inadvertently laid out have the effect of influencing the situation in the end." It's just a reflection of this for today, and the next thing to do is the point."

"Build roads?" He Rentu smiled: "But it seems that they are not enthusiastic."

"Don't care about them first, let's build it first, from Qinghe County to Zhaoyingxia, Qinghe County is too poor now, the imperial court will build some big projects here to drive local economic development, this road is a good start. Kill two birds with one stone."

"Does the imperial court really want to invest a large amount of money in Qinghe?" He Rentu was a little surprised: "I thought Your Majesty was casually deceiving that Zhu Yi?"

"How is that possible?" Qin Feng said: "Look, this time Luo Liang goes back, and he will definitely put most of the responsibility for this failed mission on Zhu Yi and Guan Hongyu, which will make Min Ruoying even more disgusted with these two old courtiers, plus other people, it will be absolutely impossible for Anyang's finances to only take care of themselves in the future, Min Ruoying will ask them for a lot of money, and these two people are still very loyal to the Chu court as you said, so even if they are embarrassed, they will also try to meet Min Ruoying's needs."

"It's a vicious circle." He Rentu said thoughtfully: "They gave, Min Ruoying will want more, they give more, will make Min Ruoying feel that Anyang has infinite potential, and can take out more, with the current situation of Chu State, Anyang without war is really a treasure land. But if this continues, one day, they won't be able to take it out."

"So, when they feel more and more difficult, they will remember what I said, and building roads, communicating with us, and increasing tax revenues are the only choice." Qin Feng smiled: "As soon as the business road is opened and the traffic is exchanged, the influence of the Ming Dynasty will emerge incomparably, slowly infiltrating and changing everything here."

"Your Majesty, is it possible that after Min Ruoying finds out that Anyang can provide him with more wealth, he will send someone to replace Zhu Yi and Guan Hongyu, and they will be in their own hands, which will make Min Ruoying feel more at ease."

"Min Ruoying must have this idea, but have you forgotten Bian Wenhao, Bian Wushuang? That's when they show their skills."

"This time, I don't know what Min Ruoying will explain to Bian Wushuang? It didn't work out, he didn't hold Bian Wushuang's handle, but let Bian Wushuang pinch his handle, and now that I think about it, Min Ruoying must be uncomfortable." He Rentu laughed.

"There won't be any big deals, Min Ruoying will be kind to the city, Bian Wushuang will pretend to be stupid, just act as if nothing happened." Qin Feng smiled. That's what smart people do."

"I think it will be like that." He Ren Tu Dao.

"The most regrettable thing this time is that I didn't take the opportunity to kill this guy Luo Liang, Zhu Yi opened his mouth, it's not good not to give him this face." Qin Feng said with some regret.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this person will die after all." He Ren Tudao." He has done a lot of evil, and the legal net is magnificent, and he is negligent but not leaky."
