During this eastern hunt, Emperor Liang only brought fifty warriors in front of the palace. Although the number was sparse, they were still Emperor Liang's most reliable guards, and they were among the most elite soldiers in the entire Liang Dynasty!
Even the Tianji camp guards that Qin Feng is proud of, whether fighting alone or in small-scale battles, are by no means a match for the warriors in front of the palace.
There are only two ways to defeat the samurai in front of the palace.
First, rely on sheer numerical superiority to directly overwhelm the samurai in front of the palace.
Second, they rely on tactics to launch surprise attacks, calculated mentally but not intentionally.
These fifty warriors in front of the palace were like an insurmountable wall, standing in front of Emperor Liang, firmly blocking out the rebels.
More and more rebels rushed up the mountainside.
The warriors in front of the palace were dispersed, either in a small team of three or in a group of five. The leader held a large shield, and the companions behind him held a horse spear and started fighting in a well-trained manner.
Facing an enemy force several times larger than our own, the samurai in front of the palace did not fall behind at all. Often a three-person team could disperse dozens of people.
While the warriors in front of the palace were fighting bloody battles, good news came from the bottom of the mountain.
"Your Majesty, the main force of the enemy army has been defeated by King Qin's reinforcements and fled in all directions."
After hearing this, Emperor Liang finally showed a smile on his face. The warriors in front of the palace that he was proud of could only protect his last dignity. If he wanted to turn things around, he could only rely on Qin Feng's soldiers.
These five thousand northern soldiers showed extraordinary group combat capabilities. Facing an enemy force four times their own, they were able to completely defeat the enemy in such a short period of time.
Emperor Liang sighed softly: "Are these Qin Feng's soldiers?"
"The leader of the army, Xu Changqing, is a brother of the Xu Mo clan, and he is also a man who can fight hard. Why have I never heard of this person before?"
In Emperor Liang's view, Xu Changqing's military talents were no less than those of some of the great generals in power.
Talents like this are extremely outstanding no matter where they go.
The imperial guard who conveyed the order shook his head, his eyes equally confused: "Your Majesty, Xu Changqing is unknown. Before he defected to Beixi County, he was probably just an ordinary person."
Ordinary people...
Emperor Liang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how many talents were buried in this beam?
However, the treasures and jade among these ruins were all discovered by Qin Feng.
Now, even Emperor Liang is extremely jealous of the small number of talents gathered in Beixi County.
In terms of military affairs, it goes without saying that Zhao Yulong, Ning Hu, and Xu Mo are all iron-blooded generals who have fought against Beidi with real swords and spears.
In terms of civil affairs, Lin Quqi and Li Zhang managed Beixi County and even the entire northern border in an orderly manner.
Even at Tianji Camp, the two people in charge are Lu Ming and Qin Xiaofu.
You know, these two people used to be untouchables, but under Qin Feng's cultivation, they have reached the point where they can take the lead alone.
As for the mysterious envoy "Mo Li", even Emperor Liang knew very little about this person.
In addition to these already famous talents, Beixi County also reserves a large number of second-tier talents, such as Liu Ming, the chief of the Jinyi Anwu Guard, and Xu Changqing, who was rescued by King Qin.
With all these talents, and with Qin Feng as the backbone, how could Beixi County not be prosperous?
Qin Feng is a marquis in name, but in fact he is a king!
King of the North!
However, after experiencing this rebellion, Emperor Liang was not so opposed to Qin Feng occupying the northern border. On the contrary, Emperor Liang knew very well that as long as Qin Feng was still the master of the northern border, Emperor Liang's empire would be stable for generations.
Emperor Liang looked at the defeated rebels at the foot of the mountain and couldn't help but secretly make up his mind. In addition to the relationship between monarch and minister, he and Qin Feng were also officially promoted to an alliance.
Qin Feng needed Emperor Liang to sit on the throne as monarch and maintain the current situation and environment. Correspondingly, Emperor Liang also needed Qin Feng to suppress the heroes and consolidate the throne for him. As for where the relationship between Kyoto and the North will go in the future, that is a matter for the next generation, and Emperor Liang does not want to worry about it anymore.
Emperor Liang no longer worried about the crowd at the foot of the mountain. He turned to look at the female Jin Yiwei.
"May I have your name?"
The female Jin Yiwei lowered her head and responded: "Your Highness, my name is Liu Yao."
"Minister?" Emperor Liang was a little surprised by Liu Yao's self-proclaimed title: "When did I confer you a title? Was it an official title arranged by the Ministry of Personnel?"
Liu Yao did not shy away and replied softly: "It is not the arrangement of the official department, but the Lin County Magistrate. I have been posted as a scribe in Beixi County Yamen. Although it is not a serious official position, the court pays five taels every year." The money and salary are, in the final analysis, a blessing from the country, so I have the courage to consider myself a minister."
Emperor Liang was amused for a while. The county clerk was indeed not a real official. It was equivalent to being hired privately by the county magistrate and was a non-staff person.
But this Liu Yao, as a royal guard, specializes in espionage and intelligence work, what's the point of being a scribe?
"explain."
Faced with Emperor Liang's question, Liu Yao said neither humble nor arrogantly: "After the end of the National War, the Jin Yiwei was reorganized and divided into four positions."
"They are the messengers who specialize in communicating and delivering orders, the military guards who specialize in intelligence collection and infiltration behind enemy lines, and the secret guards who specialize in secret security and assassination work."
"The last type is Chen, who no longer hides his whereabouts, walks in the open, and deals with all forces. In other words, only people like Chen are called Jin Yiwei now."
"Having a casual position is also for the convenience of management and movement."
Emperor Liang had known for a long time that the Jin Yiwei organization was getting bigger and bigger, but he did not expect that it had developed to this extent.
But since Liu Yao told all the secrets of Jin Yiwei, it means that Qin Feng had no intention of guarding against Emperor Liang.
Or……
Qin Feng basically planned to exchange information with Emperor Liang.
That's fine, after all, Hei Wei has now turned to Lao Qi and is no longer under the control of Emperor Liang. What he currently lacks most is an intelligence organization.
"Qin Feng sent you to follow me. In addition to preventing Lao Qi from rebelling, do you have other tasks?" Emperor Liang asked casually, looking at Liu Yao carefully with a pair of wise eyes.
Liu Yao also answered happily: "The Marquis has told you that if His Highness the Seventh Highness stays contented, that's it. If he really dares to rebel, Xu Changqing will be guarded by His Majesty's side. At the same time, I would like to ask Your Majesty to issue an order to mobilize the Longhu Army." The power is given to Lord Taiwei."
Hearing this, Emperor Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Whether the Dragon and Tiger Army can be mobilized is beyond my control."
Liu Yao quickly added: "No matter what, the Marquis needs His Majesty's will. This is what teachers are famous for."
What a great teacher!
Emperor Liang was so wise. He immediately realized that Qin Feng wanted Lao Qi to rebel. In this way, Qin Feng could lead the emperor to order the princes.
