In order to show his sincerity, Qin Feng stood up and toasted Chen Si and others with a wine glass.
"Everyone, there are no eternal enemies or eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests."
"Especially for the country!"
"You already know my position and bottom line. As for where the future of the two countries will go next, it all depends on how much effort you are willing to put in.
"I did it, you can do whatever you want."
Qin Feng usually doesn't drink much, and his drinking power is probably not as good as Ning Hu's. But at this time, at the negotiation table, Qin Feng was rare and generous, and drank the glass to the sky in one gulp.
Seeing this, Chen Si and the other three looked at each other and stood up to respond.
The originally tense scene once again restored a lively atmosphere. The identities of several people continued to change, from friends to enemies, then from enemies to businessmen, and finally returned to the original point.
Watching the four of them drinking and chatting happily, it was as if nothing before had ever happened.
After witnessing the whole process, Jing Ci felt that his three views had been completely subverted, but he also learned a lot. In the face of national interests, he could abandon all honors, as long as he could benefit the country, even if he became useless It doesn't matter if you are a villain in the extreme.
Of course, Jing Ci knew very well that this was only in private. If it were done openly, these four people would probably become upright and bright pillars of the country.
Just when Jing Ci was secretly absorbing nutrients and improving himself, a tragic battle took place at the foot of Mount Tai in Daliang, thousands of miles away.
The five thousand guards around Emperor Liang fought bloody battles and firmly blocked the rebels at the foot of the mountain.
The entire battle has lasted for a day, and of the five thousand guards, there are only more than a thousand left. Even though they would rather die than surrender, even though they are all elite soldiers who are outnumbered by one.
However, the huge casualties still pushed them into an unprecedented desperate situation.
If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the defense line is breached and the rebels reach Emperor Liang.
At the same time, Emperor Liang, who was located in the camp on the mountainside, stood with his hands behind his hands. Facing the overwhelming rebel party, he showed no fear at all and just looked down at the fierce battlefield at the foot of the mountain coldly.
Zhang Xiuye, who was accompanying him, was already sweating coldly: "Your Majesty, according to the urgent report from Kyoto, all the troops stationed in the capital are stationed in place and no troops have been mobilized."
"This 30,000-strong army seemed to appear out of nowhere."
Emperor Liang's eyes were unwavering. What big scene had he not seen in his life? Even if a knife is placed on his neck, he cannot make him surrender. This is the dignity of being the king of a country, and it cannot be trampled upon easily.
In his life, he has wronged countless people, but he has never wronged thousands of living beings.
Facing the defense line that was about to be breached, Emperor Liang still remained calm: "The garrison in the capital has not moved, which further confirms my guess."
"The garrison, the east and west camps, and the Central Plains Imperial Party have all fallen to Lao Qi."
"In order not to attract the attention of the Longhu Army and Qin Tianhu, the Gyeonggi garrison only needs to deploy two thousand people each, plus the four thousand people from the Central Plains Imperial Party who have detoured and joined together, this is ten thousand."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiuye's eyes became even more frightened, even a little panicked.
The garrison and the east-west camp, but Emperor Liang's trump card, has now turned to Li Yong. Is it possible that since Li Yong came to power, all the thoughts that should have been used to deal with the Lin family in Jiangnan were used to lobby the military? , to enhance one’s own strength?
Li Yong knew very well that without the support of the Qin family, it was no longer realistic to conquer the Jiangnan Lin family and legitimately inherit the throne.
After all, the Gyeonggi garrison needs to defend against the Dragon and Tiger Army, while the Central Plains Imperial Party has to defend against the clan forces in the south and the Qin Feng faction in the north.
As long as Qin Feng does not move, the remaining major military forces will not dare to move a single soldier.
You must know that the Lin family has been operating in Jiangnan for several generations and has long been deeply rooted. The local military strength alone cannot be underestimated, coupled with the abundant products and abundant funds.
Any military force that wants to attack the Lin family will have to pay huge losses.
No one wants to be a crane or a clam, everyone wants to be a fisherman.
Zhang Xiuye wiped his cold sweat and said nervously: "Even so, there are only 10,000 people, but the rebel party attacking the mountain has 30,000 people, and the remaining 20,000..."
Before Zhang Xiuye could finish speaking, Emperor Liang had already given an answer in an understatement.
"Is it difficult to guess?"
"Since Lao Qi can't do anything to the Lin family, he can simply turn his enemies into friends!"
"As long as the Lin family helps Lao Qi win the throne, Lao Qi will forget about the Lin family's rebellion."
"The Lin family also has difficulties. There are wealthy families in the south, Qin Feng in the north, and the imperial party in the middle. It can be said that they are besieged on all sides. Even if they encircle the territory and become the king, it is nothing more than that. There is no way to expand their power."
"My beloved concubine is also the current head of the Lin family. How smart is she? How could she miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a comeback?"
Zhang Xiuye swallowed his saliva wildly. He vaguely realized that Li Yong's faction members were not the only ones who rebelled against the party. Even... half of the entire Liang Dynasty had joined the rebel camp.
"In other words, the Lin family sent 20,000 people?"
Emperor Liang shook his head decisively: "Twenty thousand people are enough for any force to be called the main force."
"Lin Wenwan will not be so stupid. Based on my understanding of her, Dingtian can only send 10,000 people. Whether it succeeds or not, the risk she takes will not be too great."
"The remaining 10,000 people should be made up of the wealthy families in the south and the local forces gathered along the road."
"The wealthy families in the South have been suppressed by me for so many years. They are afraid of me and want to kill their kings and stand up. However, the wealthy families in the South have been local tyrants long before the founding of Daliang."
"After so many years of operation, they have not only accumulated huge strength, but also developed extraordinary determination. Even if Lao Qi has a huge advantage, those old foxes will never go all-in."
"They are gambling. If Lao Qi wins, they can use this as an excuse to claim credit. If Lao Qi loses, they can continue to retreat to the south."
"The more the merrier."
"but……"
Speaking of this, Emperor Liang's eyes suddenly showed a strange light. Even in the face of this desperate situation, he still seemed to have a certain chance of winning.
"Haha, everyone is gathering firewood and the flames are high. If there is such a chance of winning, why should we form gangs? After all, are we not afraid of Qin Feng?"
"As long as Qin Feng is still loyal to me, even if he is the enemy of the world, I will have no fear!"
Mentioning Qin Feng, Zhang Xiuye felt excited, but after the excitement, he was filled with despair.
"Your Majesty, none of the troops stationed in the capital have moved, which means that the Dragon and Tiger Army will not come to Qin Wang."
