Chapter eight hundred and thirteen: strong opposition

The Ming Dynasty fought three major battles within the same period of time.

To quell the domestic chaos, wipe out Jiang Haokun, end the barbarian regime Dayan; to fight against the invasion of Qin, in the battle of Hengdian in Zhongping County, kill Deng Pu and Deng Su, and torture the troops as if they were unstoppable, defeat the 100,000 Qin army, recovered Kaiping County, which was taken away by the Qin people, and forced the Qin people to sign the city alliance; and in Shayang County, with only two field camps, they withstood the strong attack of tens of thousands of Qi troops. With the overall situation of the first two battlefields, facing the Ming army's continuous reinforcements to Shayang County, the Qi people chose to retreat.

Three battles, two wins and one draw, the world was shocked. Because of these three battles, the Ming Dynasty also leaped from the original position to the end of the Qin Dynasty and reached the third place. Even in the eyes of the Qin people and the Qi people, the Ming army's combat power had already jumped to the second place in the world, leaving the Chu people behind.

Of course, the State of Chu was the most shocked.

When the Ming envoy arrived at the capital of Chu and met Emperor Min Ruoying and proposed the proposal of the three kingdoms to attack Qi together, fierce debate broke out in the Chu court.

What the special envoy of Ming State did not expect was that the most fierce opposition was Cheng Wuben, the current Minister of War who was quite close to Ming State. This result also surprised the Chu State. In everyone's mind, shouldn't Cheng Wuben the one who most supports the alliance between the two sides to attack Qi State?

Cheng Wuben stayed in Ming Kingdom for a long time. When Qin Feng was just a place to secede warlords, Cheng Wuben even joined the Taiping Army, gave advice for the Taiping Army, planned repeated actions against the Former Vietnam. In the Taiping Army's actions to eventually overthrow the Yue Kingdom to seize power, it can be said that he made great contributions.

No one would have thought that Cheng Wuben would object, and even Min Ruoying would have thought.

Cheng Wuben was an old minister in the previous dynasty and the only court official in this dynasty who was granted a title of Duke. He had a group of followers. His strong opposition caused the court to part with disagreement. After the court dispersal, Min Ruoying kept Cheng Wuben and Luo Liang and recruited them to the small study.

The attitude of these two people towards this war made Min Ruoying a little distressed. When the Ming Dynasty was in danger, Cheng Wuben jumped up and down from the court, believing that Chu should send troops to attack Qi immediately. However, Luo Liang tried his best to oppose it, believing that it was difficult to win a breather and that the army should be reorganized. This time, after the Ming army won a great victory, the army headed to Fengxian, with signs of a big fight with the Qin army. The special envoy who sought alliance also arrived in Shangjing. Luo Liang raised his hands and agreed to send troops immediately to attack Qi with the Ming Dynasty. But this time, the objection became Cheng Wuben.

These two people never urinated in the same pot.

This annoyed Min Ruoying.

"Mr. Cheng, what do you mean?" Min Ruoying knocked on the table, "Isn't it the best opportunity now? The Three Kingdoms have not formed such a climate? If you don't take this opportunity to weaken Qi State severely, will there be such good things in the future? After passing this village, there will be no store."

"Your Majesty, Mr. Cheng is against it for the sake of opposition." Luo Liang snorted coldly. Luo Liang's cold words were very heartbroken, meaning that Cheng Wuben only opposed him, Luo Liang.

When Min Ruoying said this, his face changed a little. Looking at Cheng Wuben, he didn't say anything, but his eyes proved that he seemed to believe Luo Liang's words.

A sigh flashed in Cheng Wuben's eyes, but it was just a flash of disappearance.

"Your Majesty, this is the same as the other. We lead troops to fight. We often say that the military power is like water and changes with the situation. In fact, isn't the same in the country's politics?" Cheng Wuben whispered: "At that time, the Ming Dynasty was in danger, and internal and external troubles were in danger. There would be a possibility of destroying the country at any time. If Qin Feng was defeated, it would not be Qin, but Qi, which made Qi occupy most of the territory of Ming Dynasty, with great power and even greater power. Moreover, our efforts over the years are as if they were unified.

The rule of law was drifted, so at that time, I strongly advocated sending troops to attack Qi on a large scale, forcing Qi to turn around to face us, and share most of the pressure for Ming Dynasty, so that they could concentrate on dealing with Qin State. At that time, the barbarians were already prisoners of Ming State, and I was not worried about them, I was just worried about the Qin people. Therefore, my suggestion was not only to send troops to attack Qi State, but also to An Ruhai launch a large-scale counterattack in the Luoying Mountains."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's a pity that Your Majesty did not want to listen to my advice, but accepted General Luo's statement and stopped his troops and maintained the war."

"The final result is not bad. This proves that Your Majesty's decision was not wrong at that time!" Luo Liang said coldly: "Ming Kingdom survived, and our army has been rested and reorganized. Now that the combat power has recovered to its highest level, the fighting spirit is high, and it is a good time to send troops."

Cheng Wuben looked at Luo Liang: "General Luo, the account is not settled like this. Indeed, Mingguo survived, not only survived, but they also won beautifully. However, I would like to ask, what did we get in this war that swept across the Three Kingdoms? Is it the army that got rest? We got rest, so what about the Qi army led by Cao Yun also got rest, supplement, and strengthen?"

Luo Liang was about to refute him, but Cheng Wuben ignored him and turned to look at Min Ruoying: "Your Majesty, we have missed the best opportunity. And now the so-called joint anti-Qi proposed by the Ming people is just a trick and a false thing in my opinion."

"How could it be something that is false?" Min Ruoying shook his head: "Yang Qing just reported the latest information to me. After Qin Feng killed Murong Hong, he reorganized two troops of 10,000 troops. In addition, his personal guard camp was more than 3,000 people, and was heading towards Shayang County. Now most of the main forces of the Ming army have basically arrived in Shayang County. He has made such a big move. Could it be that his army will only bring an armed parade?"

"Your Majesty!" Cheng Wuben shook his head firmly: "Qin Feng has always been far-sighted in his work. He has always planned everything he does. I have a deep impression of this."

"What do you mean is that the Emperor of our Great Chu is short-sighted?" Luo Liang said again without any yin and yang.

Cheng Wuben finally got angry and turned his head and stared at the other party: "Luo Liang, we are just talking about the matter today. Are you so sarcastic and have the dignity of a minister?"

When Cheng Wuben was scolded by angrily, Luo Liang's old face could no longer be stopped. He slapped the table and was about to stand up. Min Ruoying snorted, and Luo Liang could only hold back his anger and sit down.

"Listen to Mr. Cheng."

"Your Majesty, why do I say that the so-called Three Kingdoms' resistance to Qi is just a fictitious thing? Please think carefully, will Qin really take action? Yes, Xiao Qiang's 50,000 Qin troops did leave Hulao Pass, but so what? Qin's country is now in chaos, with 100,000 border troops being defeated, Deng Pu and Deng Su died in battle, military failure is one, political chaos is another, Deng's fall, Qin's royal family is busy collecting power, Xiao Qiang, this person is determined to preserve his strength and want to become the second of the Deng family. Can such a country and an army be expected?"

Min Ruoying nodded slightly, quite moved.

"I dare to assert that the so-called Qin people's dispatch of troops was just because they were forced by Qin Feng and had to act like this. Of course, this would indeed contain some of the Qi people's forces, but the Qi people would not be fools. They could quickly find out the details of the Qin people." Cheng Wuben shook his head and said, "The Qin people don't need to rely on it. But the Ming people really want to fight with Qi?"

"Why not? The two of them defended Shayang and blocked Guo Chengxian. Their combat power was quite strong!" Min Ruoying asked back.

"Your Majesty, you saw the result but didn't see the process. Liu Xingwen's Lush Battalion was completely destroyed, and Chen Jialuo's Tiger Battalion suffered heavy losses. At that time, even Princess Zhaohua was surrounded. Although Qin Feng defeated the Qin army and achieved a major victory in the battle against Qin, his miners' battalion basically lost its combat effectiveness, and Yu Chao's cavalry battalion also suffered a considerable loss. The current Ming army can support a battle with the Qi people?"

"No, they can't afford it. Qin Feng is a typical example of being strong outside and doing things on the other hand. He watches them win beautifully and happily outside, but only Qin Feng himself knows the joys and sorrows of it." Cheng Wuben sneered. "I said before that Qin Feng is a far-sighted person, but he is also a guy who dares to gamble. However, this time, the one he wants to take to the gambling table will not be his own wealth. He placed almost all his troops in Shayang County. Seeing that he has a strong capital, he may not really bet on both sides. What he really wants to gamble is our Chu army."

He took a deep breath: "If we are fooled and attack the Qi army in large numbers, with the strength of our country and Qi, once the war begins, it will not be possible to stop in a short period of time. It will inevitably be another long-lasting war. In a few years, we will not be able to stop at all. I believe that this is what Qin Feng wants, because at this time, the troops he placed in Shayang have truly become valuable and have the capital to bargain."

Cheng Wuben, who sneered, then said, "What Qin Feng wants to play is just the old-fashioned thing in the past few years. He uses the conflicts between us to seek their best interests. Your Majesty, if both of us start a war, he can give it to him again. And we have to agree to him."
