Although as the saying goes, not taking a stand is equivalent to taking a stand, and remaining neutral is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the ground.
After all, those who achieve great things are often ruthless, and those who cannot be used for their own purposes will be eradicated.
But even so, the Central Plains imperial party betrayed Emperor Liang so easily and supported Li Yong, but still took a step that even Qin Feng did not expect.
Qin Feng's initial speculation was that the imperial party would waver and be caught between Emperor Liang and Li Yong to assess the situation.
Although in the end, he will still fall to Li Yong, but the speed will not be too fast.
result……
Qin Feng seriously overestimated the imperial party's political sense and government determination!
You know, with the strength of the Central Plains Imperial Party, it can completely protect itself. When the situation in the world stabilizes, no matter who has the last laugh, there will be no need to attack the imperialists anymore, and they will try their best to win over them.
But now, the Imperial Party has completely lost the trust of Emperor Liang, and both Qin Feng and Emperor Liang will definitely attack the Imperial Party first!
After all, the imperial party is stuck in Liuzhou, and the power of the southern wealthy families and the Lin family cannot go north. Correspondingly, the power of Qin Feng and Emperor Liang cannot go south.
To put it bluntly, the imperial party, which used to be a favorite, has become the most annoying stumbling block. No matter which force wants to succeed, it must kick the imperial party away.
This is why the cleanup of the imperial party was put together with the suppression of the rebellion, and at the same time, it was placed after the attack on the Lin family.
Overall, although there were some discrepancies in what happened in Daliang, they were not beyond Qin Feng's expectations.
Next, just take it step by step and follow the plan, and nothing will go wrong.
In comparison, it was the news from Sangzhou that interested Qin Feng even more.
"Little Marquis, I heard that Lu Ci and Li Zhao have already started to attack Zhuozhou?"
"What is the specific situation now?"
Facing Qin Feng's inquiry, Ning Hu's eyes were full of pride. After all, what they are doing now is unprecedented in the entire Daliang. If they can follow Qin Feng's plan, they can send Jing Qianying back to the Beidi Royal Ancestral Hall and control the lifeline of Beidi. , all those who follow Qin Feng will surely leave their names in history!
Every time he thinks of this, Ning Hu's blood boils.
"Brother Qin, you don't know how useless those two mediocre people Lu Ci and Li Zhao are!"
"Now Sangzhou is our world. Even the Snow Wolf Brigade has been destroyed. Looking within a radius of 500 miles, there is no rival."
"Behind the opposition imperialist party, we have the support of Beixi County."
"With such an advantage, the two men were ambushed when they marched into Zhuozhou and lost thousands of people."
"If the advantage is not too huge and they rely solely on numbers to overwhelm the opponent, I am afraid that these two people will definitely ruin Brother Qin's plan!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng couldn't help but frown.
Based on Qin Feng's understanding of Cichou and the two men, they can never be called "mediocre". Lu Ci was originally a guerrilla captain and had rich experience in actual combat, while Li Chou was the military adviser of the Xiongying Ridge stronghold and a knowledgeable person. People who know how to adapt to current affairs.
At least in military terms, these two men are reliable.
They were actually ambushed and suffered considerable losses, which surprised Qin Feng.
"What's going on? What's the origin of the person who ambushed the two of them?"
Seeing Qin Feng's serious expression, Ning Hu did not dare to make any detours and quickly replied: "Based on the information we have now, it should be the local armed forces in Zhuozhou."
Hearing this, Qin Feng frowned even deeper.
Local armed forces? What a joke!
Although the soldiers and horses under the command of Cichou and others are a patchwork of miscellaneous troops, they can easily collapse when encountering elites.
However, the predecessors of these soldiers were all the main force of Beidi. They looked like front-line troops horizontally and vertically. There was no way they could have been beaten so badly by local armed forces.
There must be something going on here!
"Although the opposition imperial party is advancing smoothly and unobstructed, the actual situation is absolutely not the case. The Beidi King attaches great importance to this force."
"Even if the army that ambushed Cichou and his two men was local armed forces, there must be some elite soldiers from Beidi."
Ning Hu rubbed his chin, thoughtfully.
"I thought so at first, but if Beidi elites are really secretly helping, the two sides will definitely fall into a fierce battle."
"But the problem now is that this local armed force is quite lacking in both manpower and material resources."
"Are we thinking too much?"
Before Qin Feng could answer, Liu Ming on the side had already asked tentatively.
"Qin Hou, is it possible that this ambush is a strategy to lure the enemy deeper?"
Qin Feng nodded heavily: "It's very possible!"
After hearing the conversation between the two, Ning Hu's expression suddenly became serious.
"Luring the enemy deeper?!"
Qin Feng was not careless at all because of his current advantage. On the contrary, he became more cautious.
"If the opponent loses too quickly, the show will be too fake."
"Losing quickly means poor combat effectiveness and low morale. This kind of armed force does not have the courage to challenge an army of 30,000 people. Instead of making meaningless sacrifices, it is better to surrender from the beginning."
"Most of the time, it is not the general who decides whether to surrender or fight to the death, but the enemy and his soldiers."
"If the enemy does not intend to kill them all, then the vast majority of the troops will not resist desperately."
"If soldiers see that the war is hopeless and any military action is tantamount to death, then there is a high probability that they will mutiny and rebel. They may even kill the general directly and claim credit from the enemy."
"Taken together, there is a huge difference in the combat effectiveness and fighting will of this local armed force!"
After hearing Qin Feng's explanation, Ning Hu already understood the problem.
He couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "As expected of Brother Qin, he was able to see through the anomalies."
"That's right. Since the enemy has the courage to resist an enemy force several times our own, there is at least a 20% to 30% certainty that it can inflict heavy damage on the enemy."
"But now, this local armed force only surrendered to two people, Ci Chi, and lost a thousand people, and was defeated in a hurry."
"They deliberately created an illusion for Cichou and the others. The resistance in Zhuozhou is only that big. Even if they go all out, they will only lose a thousand people. If they encounter any resistance in the future, they only need to rely on their numerical advantage. If you press on, you will win.”
"When we get deep behind enemy lines, we will be surrounded and annihilated."
Speaking of this, Ning Hu had already winked at Liu Ming. Liu Ming understood and quickly called the messenger to quickly convey the order to Cichou and the two of them, prohibiting any rash advance and gradually encroaching on Zhuozhou from the periphery. They must not fall into the enemy's careful traps. Woven hoop.
Although he discovered the problem in time, Ning Hu still sighed: "Brother Qin, I always feel that Cichou and I are unreliable."
"Tell me, will they betray us?"
