For Chen Zhihua's words, Qin Feng deeply agreed, sometimes, you have to give up some things in order for you to get some other things, and there must be very few things that can have both fish and bear's paws.

The wild dog snorted, "What a bad thing! This Lu must think that he really has 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands and can argue with us, right?"

Qin Fengha smiled: "There are 100,000 people, but those who can really pull to the battlefield to see a real chapter are only in their early 30,000s, and they are still Deng Hong's old foundation, even if he has trained some soldiers in the past two years, I am afraid that he is also busy inserting into these 30,000 old troops to dilute the influence of the Deng family, and the new rising forces will inevitably have a competition with the old faction, and the real combat effectiveness may not be as good as before."

Chen Zhihua nodded: "What Your Majesty said is, judging from the information we have obtained, Lu must be really a little indecisive, change to a decisive commander, if you want to get rid of the influence of the Deng clan as soon as possible, then after the new forces are formed, you should go on a killing spree, kill a group of people who don't seem to be in harmony, and the integration will come naturally, he actually dreams of the old and new forces blending, and he is really naïve."

"It's his shortcomings, but it's also his strengths!" Qin Feng said: "This person is also a nostalgic person, unwilling to take too drastic measures, Zhihua, if Lu must really be the latter kind of person you said, then it will not be so easy for us to solve the Qingzhou problem peacefully. It's best now."

"That's right!" Chen Zhihua smiled: "Lu must know his own family affairs and know that if he works with us, they will definitely be bankrupt, so he hurriedly ran over to ask for peace, Your Majesty, will the matter of mobilizing the militia reserves continue?" This time, all the militia reserves in Kaiping and Zhongping counties were mobilized, and the local production and infrastructure were affected. As you know, now that spring ploughing is just over, it's a good time to build roads and renovate water conservancy facilities."

"Can't stop!" Qin Feng shook his head: "It is better to prevent trouble before it happens, Lu must not be a decisive person, and it is still necessary to guard against his recurrence, in addition, once there is something in the direction of Tiger Prison Pass, Jumu, Chasing Wind, Yulin, and Tiger Ben will all be prepared to go there, and then the defense of Kaiping will depend on these militia reserves."

"Qi people, can you really move?" Chen Zhihua hesitated for a moment and asked.

Qin Feng frowned and pondered for a while: "This matter is really hard to predict. Judging from the situation in the Qi State, they should not rashly intervene in the internal strife in Qin, Cao Tiancheng should be very clear that the Qin State is the target of our Ming Dynasty, and their interference in the Qin State is to provoke another dispute with our Ming Dynasty. We're not going to give up, we're going to fight with them."

"Your Majesty is right, An Ruhai, Jiang Tao, Wu Teng and their toss in the territory of Qi have caused a lot of damage to Qi State, and it has also made Cao Tiancheng usher in a great opportunity for domestic reform, power retraction, and purge, but this kind of action will cause domestic political shocks, domestic instability, it is an eventful season, and it is not in line with their interests to provoke incidents between us at this time!"

"That's right, but it's a piece of fat that comes to your mouth!" Qin Feng grinned: "Think about it, if Deng Shu really controls the Tiger Prison Pass, controls the Tiger Prison Army, and according to what she said to the Qi people, open the Tiger Prison Pass and let the Qi people drive straight in, the Qi people will be able to enter the hinterland of the Qin State without much effort. And two of the three largest armies of the Qin State now, the Tiger Prison Army and the Qingzhou Army, will launch a fierce attack on our Ming Dynasty under the leadership of Deng Shu, and all the Qin people have to face is the tens of thousands of thunder troops of the Qin Dynasty and the half-hearted Bian Wushuang in the Luoying Mountains, and the odds of victory are really not ordinary!"

"Of course it's big!" The wild dog sighed: "At that time, we fought with Deng Shu in the dark, the sun and the moon were dark, they cleaned up the Qin State in a good way, and when we destroyed Deng Shu and came back to our senses, yes, there is nothing to do with us in the Qin State, this abacus can be found to be crackling!" Boss, you have to think about how we can slap this back, and they won't have the face to see anyone again."

Qin Feng laughed, "This slap has already been half done, first get the Tiger Prison Pass, once the matter of the Tiger Prison is over, the custodian Lu will definitely come to us in a hurry. If we can't do it, then Lou will really become our enemy!"

"The key is still in the Tiger Prison, Your Majesty, the Tiger Prison, how sure are we?" Chen Zhihua's face was also a little solemn.

"Seventy percent!" QIN Fengdao.

"Only 70% sure?" Chen Zhihua took a breath of cool air, "This means that Deng Shu is still likely to succeed."

"You fight a war, and every time you are 100% sure?" Qin Feng glanced at Chen Zhihua, "Seventy percent, it's already very high. What I'm worried about is not whether Deng Shu can succeed, but how fierce Xiao Qiang's descendants will resist when the time comes. The most powerful unit in the Tiger Prison is undoubtedly Xiao Qiang's descendant."

Chen Zhihua nodded: "No wonder Your Majesty wants to go to Yongping County in person."

"Guo Jiuling has already gone to the Tiger Prison!" Qin Feng narrowed his eyes, "This time, we're out of the nest. If we win this battle, most of the Qin Kingdom will belong to us. The Ma dynasty is crumbling."

"Of course we will succeed!" The wild dog raised its fist fiercely and shook it in the air. Chen Zhihua smiled, also stretched out his fist, and touched the wild dog in the air.

"It's going to work."

Chang'an, the capital of Qi State, is the largest city in the world. Whether it is the size of the city or the number of people, this city is crushing other cities on this continent, and the mega city with a population of more than 3 million is more than the population of Yuejing and Shangjing and Yongdu combined.

From a thousand years ago, when the Tang Dynasty rose, the capital was Chang'an, and a thousand years later, the Qi State usurped the Tang Dynasty and became independent, and the city has always been the capital. Cao's usurpation of the Tang Dynasty is a matter of course, the war only happened in a few places in the palace and the city, and the entire city was not damaged, for the people of the Tang Dynasty at that time, Cao's self-reliance seemed to be a natural thing, and there was not much resistance, because before this, the Cao family had been in power for decades, and the Tang royal family had already become an ornament at that time.

Such a large city is naturally not easy to live in, especially in the core area, and every inch of land is valuable. A small courtyard is enough to buy a big house in the outer city. And the people who can live in this area are naturally rich and noble people in the Qi country.

And in this area, the most expensive is Qinghefang. If you want to have a house here, just having money, that's not enough, power is the most basic reason to be able to have a place in Qinghefang.

And the Drum Tower Fang, which is adjacent to Qinghefang, is the place where the rich live. Compared with the low-key introverted of those big officials and nobles in Qinghefang, the residents of Guloufang are really extravagant to the extreme, if a person first comes to Chang'an, first to Guloufang, and then to Qinghefang, he will definitely think that he is from a wealthy area to a place where ordinary people live.

These two squares constitute the top area of Chang'an, with the exception of the Imperial City, of course.

However, during this period of time, Qinghe Fang and Gulou Fang have vacated a large number of houses. One after another high-ranking officials and nobles in the past were imprisoned, their homes were raided, their heads were killed, their family property was confiscated, and they were auctioned, and the neighboring Drum Tower Fang was naturally affected, and the thighs were broken, and the people who hugged the thighs naturally could not be left alone.

All of a sudden, these two places where the original daughter came to ask for an inch of land, there were a lot of vacant houses, of course, the iron house is flowing people, the old people are gone, and there will naturally be new people to fill in. And the worst thing is that the old man has just been escorted out of his house, and the new master has come to receive him with his servants.

Guo Xiancheng walked on the streets of Qinghefang with two personal guards, he was the military commander of Qi who had just been appointed by the imperial court, but he was also the smallest military commander of Qi in history, compared with the predecessor Cao Yun, it was completely different, the emperor looked at it, and Zhou Jiyun looked at it below, trying to find Guo Xiancheng's mistake and knock him into the dust, so as to replace him.

Guo Xiancheng is very aware of the situation he is facing, on the one hand, he has to do his best to maintain the interests of the military, and on the other hand, he has to find a way to complete the emperor's reorganization and control of the army, which can be described as a dilemma. Be cautious, like walking on thin ice, for fear that if you take a wrong half a step, you will never recover.

Guo Xiancheng was also the most low-key military commander in the history of the Qi State. He did not live in Qinghefang, and returned to Chang'an after his ascension, but found a courtyard in the inner city, settled his family, and spent most of his time in the yamen. I came to Qinghefang today, but I came to find the former marshal Cao Yun.

Because he felt that he had encountered a hurdle, he couldn't pay attention to it, and Cao Yun, as his old boss and benefactor, was the one who was qualified and capable of solving his doubts.

Walking on the street, Guo Xiancheng has a lot of worries, Qinghefang is a place where the powerful are concentrated, in the past, there were cars coming and going, it is rare to have such a quiet time, now it is an eventful time, everyone is in danger, but no one dares to swagger away like in the past.

The people in front shouted and neighed, and a team of black-clothed guards escorted a prisoner cart towards the street, and the old people, children, and women who staggered forward with the prisoner cart left and right were heard endlessly.

Guo Xiancheng retreated sideways under the eaves of the street, turned his head slightly, and couldn't bear to look at the man in the prisoner's car. He knew this official who had just been arrested, and it was Wang Yewen, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, a conscientious person, but he didn't expect that this time he would also be dismissed.
