Zhou Ting, Marquis of Changling, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "Holy Lord, if it is said that Feng Poyu and Qiao Mingtang have some friction in private, it is possible, but Feng Poyu should not rebel. ”

"Oh?" Dingwu's face was grim.

Zhou Ting took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Shengshang, although Feng Poyu is a general in Hexi, the Shengshang has already given him the title of Marquis of Beiyong, and he is extremely honorable. ”

"Maybe he wants something more." Dingwu said lightly.

Zhou Ting shook his head and said, "Feng Poyu doesn't have the courage to do this. Even if he wants to rebel, his barbarian soldiers will never rebel with him, all the barbarian chieftains are now in Wuping Mansion City, as long as these chieftains are in our hands, Feng Poyu will not be able to let the barbarians follow him to rebel. And if he rebelled at such a time, he would kill himself, Chu Huan was eyeing him, if he didn't have the support of Hexi because of the rebellion, Feng Poyu would only have a dead end. ”

Hearing this, Dingwu bowed slightly, "What you said is good." It's me who has a lot of heart, I don't doubt it, I don't need to use suspicious people, at this time, I can only trust Feng Poyu. ”

"Holy Lord, what matters at the moment is whether Feng Poyu can control Yunshan." Zhou Tingdao: "Yunshan is Qiao Mingtang's territory, and the excerpt says that although Qiao Mingtang was injured and absconded, they have not found Qiao Mingtang's whereabouts until now. The minister is worried! ”

"Worried that Qiao Mingtang will run to Chu Huan's side?" Dingwudo.

Zhou Tingdao: "It's not impossible. Chu Huan had done something under Qiao Mingtang back then, if Qiao Mingtang really went to Chu Huan, Chu Huan would definitely take him in. Qiao Mingtang has been in Yunshan for many years, his foundation is not shallow, Yunshan has many contacts, if he really wants to take refuge in Chu Huan and confront the imperial court, Feng Poyu will be even more troublesome. ”

Dingwu frowned.

"Feng Poyu can stand alone in the march to fight, but this person has no ability to govern one side!"

Dingwu had already interrupted Zhou Ting's words and said, "I just considered this reason, so after Qiao Mingtang's defeat, I didn't blame him in the slightest. I thought that he would know what I meant, and would work hand in hand with Feng Poyu, these two people were one and the same, as long as they tried their best to cooperate, with the solidity of Yunshan Mansion City, and with the strategy advocated by Anyi Yuan, even if Chu Huan wanted to swallow Yunshan, it would never be possible to do it lightly. Speaking of this, anger appeared in his eyes, and he clenched his fists and said: "I didn't expect that these two people are like two wild dogs, biting each other, completely ignoring the overall situation, now that Qiao Mingtang is rebellious, Feng Poyu is alone in Yunshan, I am very worried about whether he can hold Yunshan." ”

Zhou Ting also showed a look of worry, and said: "Saint, Feng Poyu forced Qiao Mingtang away, I am afraid that it will make those people in Yunshan resentful of Feng Poyu, and now if you want to defend Yunshan, you must not only rely on force, but also subdue the hearts of the people of Yunshan, if you lose the hearts of the people, the consequences will be even more unimaginable." After hesitating for a moment, he finally said: "The minister is worried, Feng Poyu's temperament has always been unruly, and as far as I know, when he was under Feng Yuanpo's command, he was also indispensable to bully men and women to seize land and property. ”

Dingwu thought so, and bowed slightly: "I'm also worried about this. The Liaodong people are already storming Yanshan, and I can only deal with the Liaodong people with the main forces of Hexi now, before repelling the Liaodong people, Yunshan must not be lost, Marquis Changling, what do you think should be done next? ”

"Shengshang, as you said, before repelling the Liaodong people, we must ensure that the Northwest Army cannot take Yunshan, as long as Yunshan is in our hands, Chu Huan will not dare to bypass Yunshan and enter Hexi at all, but once Yunshan is lost, Chu Huan will definitely take advantage of the opportunity of our army's main force in Yanshan to defend against the Liaodong people and attack our Hexi." Zhou Ting's expression was solemn, "Even if he doesn't immediately launch an offensive against Hexi, but instead attack Xiyang County in Anyi, control Daqingshan, and cut off the connection between Hexi and Anyi, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Dingwu's expression became more and more solemn.

The situation in the world is changing, and in just a few months, Dingwu feels that everything is completely out of the plan.

He inherited the throne, but he had a seemingly beautiful blueprint in his heart, blockading Xigu Pass, trapping the Northwest Army to death in the northwest with an insurmountable moat, and then sitting back and watching the Liaodong Army and the Qingtian King fight each other, taking the opportunity to recuperate.

After all, at that time, the Qin State actually controlled a large area in the north, and Hexi, Xishan, Anyi, and Hujin were all Qin's spheres of influence.

But now everything has changed.

The Northwest Army has already entered the customs, and the people of Liaodong have suddenly gone crazy, with a posture of passing through Yanshan at any cost, which Dingwu did not expect in advance.

Failing to anticipate the enemy, even if such a change suddenly occurred in Yunshan, it was not within Dingwu's expectations.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that after the change of the authorities, the Qin State had fallen into a precarious situation, and with the current strength of the Qin State, whether it was to deal with Liaodong or the Northwest, it would be very difficult, not to mention that it had obviously formed a situation of a wolf and a tiger attacking left and right.

Dingwu knew very well that once Yunshan fell, Chu Huan would almost completely establish himself in the pass, and according to Yunshan, the Northwest Army would definitely advance and retreat freely.

As Zhou Ting said, Chu Huan took Yunshan, either taking advantage of the situation to attack Hexi, or attacking Anyi, cutting off the connection between Anyi and Hexi, although Hexi is rich in minerals, but it is not a major grain production area, but Anyi has many grain fields, after Dingwu ascended the throne, it is to use Anyi as the granary of Qin, once the connection with Anyi is cut off, Anyi will not be able to provide grain and grass to Hexi, which is undoubtedly a fatal blow to bear the threat from both sides and need to recruit more soldiers.

"Marquis Changling, Yunshan must not be lost." Ding Wu groaned slightly, and finally said: "Feng Poyu was born in a martial arts and acted rashly, so he must send someone to supervise him." ”

Zhou Ting frowned and said: "But Feng Poyu has now been given the title of Marquis, and he doesn't even care about Qiao Mingtang, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and few people can restrain him." ”

"You!" Dingwu stared at Zhou Ting.

Zhou Ting was stunned, and Dingwu had already explained: "Yunshan is an important place that cannot be lost, and this time I sent someone to not only supervise Feng Poyu, so that he would not come nonsense, but also to help him stabilize Yunshan, stabilize the people's hearts, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and those who can have prestige and talent to take on this important task are none other than you." ”

Zhou Ting knew that what Dingwu said was true, although Feng Poyu was unruly, but under the current situation, he really did not dare to betray the Qin State, and what could make Feng Poyu a little jealous, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, there were only a handful, and he was given the title of Marquis of Changling, and everyone could see that he was deeply valued by the Dingmu in Hexi, and I am afraid that only if he personally went out to suppress Feng Poyu.

"Holy Lord, if the minister leaves, this side of the river!" Although Zhou Ting knew that only by going to Yunshan could he control the shape a little, but now was a grim moment, but he was worried that if he left Hexi, Dingwu would have one less person around him who could give advice.

"Marquis Changling doesn't have to worry." Dingwu knew Zhou Ting's thoughts, and said: "Here in Hexi, I can control it, you can rush to Yunshan, remember, I asked you to go to Yunshan, not for you and Feng Poyu to attack Chu Huan, Chu Huan's northwest army is strong and strong, and you can't risk a decisive battle with it." You must supervise Feng Poyu and defend Yunshan Mansion, the city of Yunshan Mansion is thick and high, as long as you stick to it with all your might, you will definitely be able to support it for a while. I will do my best to recruit soldiers and horses, and as long as you can hold out for two months, I will definitely send reinforcements. ”

Zhou Ting didn't know if Dingwu would really be able to send reinforcements at that time, once the people of Liaodong really fought Yanshan, Mo said that they would send reinforcements, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses of Yunshan would quickly return to help, but at this time, it was naturally difficult to say this, and he arched his hand and said: "The minister obeys the order." After hesitating, seeing Dingwu's thin face, knowing that the country has become what it is today, although Dingwu wants to do his best to turn things around, but the shape has developed to this point, and it is really difficult to revive Daqin, so he took a step forward and said: "Shengshang, after the minister leaves, you have to take care of the dragon body!" ”

Dingwu knew that Zhou Ting was brave and loyal, sighed, and said, "Marquis Changling, the world has reached this point, I can only hold on!" After a deep groan, he said softly: "Actually, even I don't know how long I can last, but the burden is on my body, my body is no longer important, we monarchs and ministers work together, even if we are crushed in the end, we must hold on until the last moment." ”

Zhou Ting's heart suddenly had a sense of depression, knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and then retreated.

After Zhou Ting left, Dingwu's expression became more and more solemn, leaning on the wheelchair, his face was even a little pale.

He had the heart to maintain the Great Qin River, but he felt that it was becoming more and more difficult day by day, and he was once high-spirited, thinking about inheriting the Great Unification and creating an unprecedentedly strong and glorious empire.

But the ideal is very full, but the reality is very backbone.

The country he took over was already full of holes, like a sailboat drifting on the sea, the sailboat was already dilapidated, and the storm shrouded the heaven and the earth, he wanted to repair the ship, and even thought about letting it ride the wind and waves, ushering in the time of calm and calm, but now when he looked at it, he found that the ship had already rotted, no matter how it was repaired, there would be new loopholes, and the wind had arrived, the torrential rain had plummeted, and even he didn't know now when the ship would be smashed by the wind and waves.

Xue Huai'an, who was sent to Jinling to lobby Xu Chang, has already committed treason to the enemy, Jinling Xu Chang is already completely unexpected, Xuanwu Qianhu went to Liaodong to inquire about the life and death of Chilian Dian, but he never returned, and there was no news back, Shen Keqiu's trip to Gaoli, there was still no news, Dingwu only felt that what the ancestor said was really reasonable, blessing and misfortune are not alone, these days, there has never been a good news, but there is continuous bad news.

Less than half an hour after Zhou Ting left, Dingwu's mood had not calmed down, and Lin Yuanfang and Ma Hong brought another bad news.
