Chen Zhihua was a little depressed.

He also expressed this depression in front of Qin Feng without any concealment.

"Your Majesty, what a great opportunity!" He said reluctantly: "The Qin State is now in chaos, and it is almost about to destroy the country and the family is destroyed. Still, it still won't forget the internal strife. Who will die if such a country does not perish? Your Majesty, after passing this village, there will be no such store. As long as your Majesty gives orders, Chen Zhihua will guarantee his own head, and he will definitely be able to win Qingzhou County for Your Majesty."

Qin Feng looked at the general with a smile, "Zhihua, sometimes our eyes cannot be on this point in front of us. Yes, if we march now, even if we lack troops or even have financial problems, we can still take over Qingzhou County and obtain the war horse resources we have always dreamed of, but we still have to consider whether it is worth it to do so?"

"Why isn't it worth it? Of course it's worth it." Chen Zhihua said excitedly.

Quan Yun smiled, "General Chen, war is not only the affairs of the soldiers in front, but also the affairs of the people in the rear. When your army and horse move, it will be 10,000 taels of gold. To be honest, these three wars have wiped out our treasury. If we continue, the finances will go bankrupt, which will cause a series of problems, which will be serious at that time."

Chen Zhihua stared at Quan Yun with his eyes, he didn't understand this very much.

"And we have to consider a cost-effective issue. If we were opposite the State of Chu, I would definitely not stop His Majesty from launching an attack, because the fruit of victory brought after the victory could effectively fill our deficit, but the State of Qin was opposite the State of Qingzhou County. What else could there be besides war horses?"

"What else?" Chen Zhihua scratched his head, thought about it carefully, but he really didn't remember anything. He couldn't help but shake his head: "No more!"

"And!" Quan Yun stretched out his finger and knocked on the table, "There are still hundreds of thousands of poor people. If we take over Qingzhou County now, we do have the resources of war horses, but in the same way, you have to bear the hundreds of thousands of mouths. Moreover, these people are still full of hostility towards you. General Chen, don't forget that Qingzhou County is the old nest of Deng's family. Deng Hong has been operating here for many years, and a large number of military subordinates are concentrated in Qingzhou County. In this war, how many Qin people died at our hands? Where are we? In addition to war horses, we will also gain hatred."

"So, won't we be able to attack Qingzhou County in the future, because there will always be hatred!" Chen Zhihua said dissatisfied.

"No, time will be a good medicine." Quan Yun smiled and said, "And now, these Qin people still have fantasies about the Qin emperor and the Qin court. When this beautiful fantasy is shattered, it is when people's minds change, and we need such an opportunity."

Chen Zhihua smiled bitterly: "When will this opportunity come? Five years, ten years?"

Qin Feng laughed, "Zhihua, you are wrong. One year, no more than two years, this turning point will come."

"Why is Your Majesty so sure?" Chen Zhihua was a little surprised.

Qin Feng smiled but refused to answer, and Chen Zhihua no longer asked questions.

"For me, the war against Qin has come to an end, and I am about to leave, but for you, it is just the beginning of the next war. You must make full use of this period of time." Qin Feng looked at Chen Zhihua and said slowly.

Chen Zhihua couldn't help but feel excited. This was the rhythm of letting him take charge, just like his father back then. Shi Chang was reincarnated one by one. His father was in Kaiping County for many years. Now, this mission fell on his head. Unlike his father, Yue Kingdom was always on the defensive stance at that time, and a small defeat would win. But now, the form is very different. The offensive and defensive momentum of both sides has completely reversed, and it was the turn of the Qin people to worry day and night.

He stood up suddenly, bent down deeply to salute, "Your Majesty, Chen Zhihua will definitely live up to your entrustedness, devote his entire life to you until you die."

Qin Feng laughed: "You can't die before you die, otherwise your father suddenly came back from overseas one day and asked me for a son, and I can't explain it to him."

When talking about his father, Chen Zhihua couldn't help but feel sad. His father insisted on following Luo Yishui to overseas. There was no news after he went there. If there was really a day to return, it would be great.

"Zhihua will definitely do a good job in this front-line pawn for Your Majesty who attacked Qin. He will work hard to govern and wait for Your Majesty's orders at any time!" Chen Zhihua said loudly.

"Okay, very good!" Qin Feng nodded: "Kaiping County has been in the hands of the Qin people for two years. To be honest, it is really good to lead troops to manage troops, but it is far from being said to manage the local area. Kaiping County has been completely abandoned in the past two years. I have neglected Ma Chao these days. On the one hand, to make him feel urgent and increase our initiative in negotiations. On the other hand, when I met the gentry in Kaiping County, I was also worried about the current situation of Kaiping County."

Chen Zhihua nodded, "Yes, compared to other county governors of the Ming Dynasty, Kaiping County is not as good as when it was under the rule of Yue many years ago. The Qin people only knew how to ask for it, kill chickens and get eggs, fish in the dry pond, and do not know how to raise people's livelihood. Although this approach has strengthened the Qin army in a short period of time, it is a failure in the long run. However, we have to take the blame now."

He shook his head and frowned.

"Kaiping County is the main battlefield for us to plan for Qin next. So, I am going to appoint you as the county magistrate of Kaiping County." Qin Feng looked at Chen Zhihua and said.

Chen Zhihua was stunned, "Your Majesty, I would rather lead the army."

"Don't worry." Qin Feng smiled and said, "This county magistrate is different from other county magistrates in the Ming Dynasty. Do you understand what I mean when you get on horseback and control the army and dismount? "

Chen Zhihua was stunned again. Qin Feng's arrangement was extraordinary. The Ming Dynasty pursued the separation of military and political affairs. Those who governed the army were not allowed to interfere in political affairs, and one consul was not allowed to hold a position in the army at the same time. Because this was the princes of the other side.

"Your Majesty, I am afraid I will not be able to do it. Moreover, there is no precedent in my Ming Dynasty. I am afraid there will be criticism in the court." Chen Zhihua refused. The big tree attracts wind. If he becomes the magistrate of the side who is on the horse and the army, he will be afraid that more people will be staring at him. His identity is different from those of the veterans in the Death Camp, and his identity is a bit sensitive.

"Don't refuse." Qin Feng said lightly: "I know your worries, but since I dare to use you, I will not be shaken by others' random words. The situation is special now. The prime minister just said that the treasury of the Ming Dynasty is empty, but it is not only empty, but also a debt. Su Kairong was so anxious that he fell ill in Yuejing."

Quan Yun, who was on the other side, smiled and said, "But when His Majesty returns to Yuejing City with this Qin people's war reparation, I believe he will be alive again."

Qin Feng laughed. "So Chen Zhihua, in the past two years, don't expect the court to give you too much support. You need to support yourself. This is why I let you serve both military and political positions. The court has no extra strength, so you must use every power of Kaiping County on the blade. While constantly strengthening the military, you cannot give the people too much burden. If I send another consul, then the county magistrate will inevitably compete with you for his own political achievements, and that will not be a good thing."

"But?"

"No need, but." Qin Feng waved his hand: "I let you unify your power, hoping that when the opportunity comes, you can make a final decision. If you are still worried about this, I can only change it."

"Chen Zhihua, Your Majesty has already made it clear. The reason I chose you is because you do have the ability to stand alone, and the second is because your Chen family has been in Kaiping County for many years and has a close relationship with the local people. After two years, your Chen family returned to Kaiping County. I believe that they can remember the days when your father was in the past and support you without reservation. And this is just a temporary solution in the war. Once things go, you will certainly remove one of the positions. As the chief minister, I will always remember this."

Chen Zhihua took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, I understand that for the sake of the thousand-year plan of the Ming Dynasty, I will not be stingy with myself and dare not cherish my feathers."

"That's good!" Qin Feng nodded: "Baoqing Camp will stay and be under your jurisdiction. Jiang Shangyan is a very unique general, but also a very capable general. His identity is a bit special, but you can completely believe him. As for how to control him, it depends on your ability."

"I understand!" Chen Zhihua nodded vigorously, and he started to control the army and dismounted to manage the people. Naturally, the Jumu camp led by his own brother could not stay in Kaiping County to help him. This was also a way of checks and balances. He was not surprised.

"Yu Chao's cavalry camp will also leave." Qin Feng's eyes widened, "The Qin State's affairs are over, but the Qi State's affairs have just begun!"

Chen Zhihua was slightly shocked: "Your Majesty wants to start a war against Qi?"

"It may not be a fight, but I must let Qi understand that this time they stabbed the hornet's nest, and Qin did not get angry easily, but when he got angry, he would become a madman. Didn't the Chu people always hope that we could go to war with Qi? This time, I let Qi see it and mess with me at will."

"Join together with the Chu people to teach Qi a lesson?" Chen Zhihua asked.

Qin Feng smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Of course. The Giant Mu Camp, the Cavalry Camp, the Death Camp, and the Pili Camp of Izumo County will be in the next battle at the Qiming border. If the Qi people don't give me a clear statement this time, then we'll fight."

"Your Majesty did a good job." Chen Zhihua shouted loudly: "A man is bullied by others, and Ma Shan is ridden by others. Qi State has always thought he is the boss. This time he understood that he, the boss, is not steadily."
