Could this brat Qin Feng have lost his mind?
Although privately selling arms is a capital crime, the outcome of the peace talks between the two countries is now in sight.
As the saying goes, choose the lesser of two evils.
As long as Qin Feng was vague, Emperor Liang would naturally not pursue it too much, at least he would suppress the matter for now.
As a result, this guy actually admitted it in public and even called it "selling arms openly and honestly."
Since this guy is seeking death, Emperor Liang naturally wants to see how upright he is!
"Qin Feng, the private sale of arms is of great importance. Please give me a reasonable explanation."
Feeling the strange looks from the officials present, Qin Feng felt no emotion in his heart.
"As we all know, the Gaoshan Kingdom is the Beidi Kingdom."
"Since Gaoshan Country rarely borders our Daliang border, it will not directly threaten our territory."
"It can be said that the existence of Gaoshan Country has no benefits for me, Daliang, but it also has no harm."
"Looking at Beidi, the situation is exactly the opposite."
"The Gaoshan Kingdom is located to the west of Beidi, with thousands of miles of borders, and the territory of the Gaoshan Kingdom is full of rolling mountains."
"Beidi, on the other hand, is a vast plain. Once the two countries are at odds, the high-mountain country can swoop down at any time and invade Beidi's territory."
"If Beidi wants to retaliate against Gaoshan Country, it has to attack from its base. At the same time, it is extremely difficult to adapt to the special geographical environment of Gaoshan Country."
"An attack on the Gaoshan Country is a thankless business for any country. The input and output are not proportional to the loss."
"Gaoshan Country can't fight, it can only win over."
Qin Feng was merciless and poked at Chen Si's pain point, or in other words, the lifeblood of the entire Beidi.
As the saying goes, the way of heaven is good for reincarnation, no one will be spared by heaven.
Due to the lack of supplies, Beidi always coveted Daliang, which had a vast territory and abundant resources.
Every time the flames of war are ignited, one topic cannot be avoided: supplies and food.
But compared to small countries with poor supplies such as Gaoshan Country, Beidi is regarded as a rich and powerful country.
Once Beidi and Gaoshan State are at odds with each other, Beidi's situation will be the same as that of Daliang today.
The difference is that Beidi has the ability to overturn Daliang.
As for Gaoshan Country, even if it devoted all its national power, it could not cause a devastating blow to Beidi.
It is precisely because of this that the generals of the Gaoshan Kingdom are like flies that cannot be killed or driven away, entangled and invading Beidi all the time.
Beidi's western border will never be peaceful.
"Beidi has good relations with Gaoshan Country, which is harmless to me, Daliang."
"But if Beidi and Gaoshan are at odds with each other, it will be a huge gain for me, Daliang."
"Everyone knows that Beidi is not a country with abundant products, otherwise it would not invade our country again and again."
"Now this national war has drained Beidi's national strength, and naturally it is unable to help surrounding countries."
"For the Gaoshan Kingdom, if Beidi cannot give them the supplies they want, they will naturally betray them without hesitation."
"After all, there are never eternal enemies and friends between countries, only eternal interests."
When Qin Feng said this, the entire hall was silent.
All the officials looked at Qin Feng in disbelief.
No one could have imagined that this profiteer who fell into the eyes of money would openly instigate the rebellion of Beidi.
The corners of Qin Feng's mouth raised slightly, revealing a proud smile.
"Don't get me wrong, weapons and armor are not the key to winning over the Gaoshan Kingdom."
“People’s livelihood resources are the top priority.”
"As for these weapons and armor, they are just used to arm the soldiers and horses of the Gaoshan Kingdom."
"After all, Gaoshan Country is short of supplies, iron ore is scarce, it lacks decent craftsmen, and its weapons are too backward."
"If the military strength of Gaoshan Country is not improved, why will Gaoshan Country become Beidi's nightmare?!"
nightmare……
Hearing this word, the officials present were already excited.
It’s not that the Liang court had never thought about the strategy of making friends at a distance and attacking at close range.
It's a pity that Beidi can't be bypassed by Daliang.
And Qin Feng, relying on his personal ability, instigated the rebellion of Gaoshan Kingdom under Beidi's nose, which is not surprising.
At this moment, Qin Feng turned to face Emperor Liang, bowed his hands, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Gaoshan Country rarely borders our country, Daliang, and our country is lacking in national strength and population."
"Even if everyone in Gaoshan Country is armed to the teeth, they will definitely not be able to harm me, Daliang."
"Using these military supplies in exchange for Gaoshan Country, an ally, echoes Daliang and threatens Beidi's western border at all times."
"I don't know, is it a sin or merit for me to sell military supplies openly?"
Emperor Liang took a deep breath and looked at Qin Feng's eyes changing again and again.
Emperor Liang already understood the moment he learned that Qin Feng was planning to rebel against Gaoshan Kingdom.
Qin Feng's private sale of ordnance supplies has already made an unparalleled contribution!
After all, with his own efforts, he was able to gain a powerful state for Daliang, which is unprecedented and unprecedented.
At this time, Emperor Liang's mood was extremely complicated.
On the one hand, they were worried that Qin Feng would threaten the imperial power and wanted to kill him quickly.
On the other hand, Qin Feng is indeed an unprecedented genius.
Should we get rid of Qin Feng and avoid future troubles forever, or should we keep this talent for Daliang and make great achievements again?
Even Emperor Liang, who had reached the pinnacle of balancing skills, could not make a choice for a while.
After a while, Emperor Liang slowly breathed a sigh of relief, already having some calculations in his heart.
Let’s talk about the future in the future. Getting over the current hurdle first is the right way.
"The Marquis of Qin rebelled against the Gaoshan Kingdom and made great achievements. I am very pleased."
"The sale of military supplies is not only correct, but actually meritorious. As for the reward, we will discuss it another day."
As soon as this statement came out, the civil and military officials in the court, although they did not express their congratulations directly to Qin Feng, they all cast their fiery glances at him.
Qin Feng slowly turned around and his eyes fell on Chen Si.
At this time, Chen Si's face was already uncertain.
Qin Feng struck while the iron was hot and did not give Chen Si any chance to breathe.
"When we send troops from Beixi County, the army of Gaoshan Kingdom will also support us from the west."
"Aren't you Beidi not afraid of war? I want to see who can have the last laugh!"
If you forget to fight, you will be in danger; if you are warlike, you will perish.
How could Chen Si not understand this?
There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of Beixi County soldiers and horses. Once an attack is launched, Beidi must mobilize elite troops to fight.
At the same time, the army of the Gaoshan Kingdom attacked from the west, and they also had to dispatch a large number of troops to stop it.
Repeatedly like this, Beidi's national power will only be further depleted.
Once the people are in dire straits, no external force is needed. Internal division alone is enough for the entire country to drink from a pot.
At this moment, Chen Si realized that Qin Feng had no intention of defeating Beidi in one go.
Instead, he planned to drag Beidi back into the quagmire of war.
In some wars, there is no need to determine the winner. As long as the war continues, one side will be exhausted.
The war of attrition has always been Beidi's pain point and its most fatal weakness!
