When Qin Feng began to concentrate on running the Northern Territory, the power structure of Daliang was also quietly changing.
To everyone's expectation, the Taolin Party was not purged by Emperor Liang. On the contrary, the Taolin Party was still prosperous, but with a different party leader.
This person is none other than the commander of the Dragon and Tiger Army, Zhao Li.
Emperor Liang's intention in promoting Zhao Li was simply to hope that Zhao Yulong could take Qin Feng's place and then repeat his old tricks to drive away tigers and devour wolves.
At the same time, Zhao Yulong has conquered Gusu City and is making great progress in accordance with the overall strategy specified by Qin Feng.
Without the city of Gusu, the wealthy clans in the south were unable to resist Zhao Yulong's army.
The end of the Southern Expedition is approaching.
Lin Wenwan took advantage of the city's destruction to successfully escape from Gusu City and fled toward the northwest.
Although Zhao Yulong had sent people to pursue her, she was thrown away by Lin Wenwan. No one knew where this woman had fled to.
A mere Lin Wenwan, no matter how talented she is, is still a lonely tree and cannot even think of causing any big waves.
So Zhao Yulong let her go without wasting too much energy.
At present, there are only a few wealthy families left in the entire southern region, resisting in the last two city-states.
And Zhao Yulong's army had already surrounded the two cities like iron barrels.
Zhao Yulong had already spared most of his energy and began to pay attention to the changes within the imperial court, constantly listening to Hei Wei's reports.
"Congratulations, General. I just received the news that General Zhao was awarded the title of Taiwei and became the new leader of the Taolin Party."
"Nowadays, looking at the entire Daliang, the strength of the Zhao family is no less than that of the Qin family."
After hearing what Hei Wei said, Zhao Yulong's eyes showed no ripples.
No one knows how strong Qin Feng is better than Zhao Yulong. No matter how stupid he is, he will never be compared with Qin Feng.
What Hei Wei said was just to flatter him deliberately, with the intention of making him confront Qin Feng.
Although it was Zhao Yulong who personally pushed Qin Feng out of the southern battlefield, in Zhao Yulong's heart, he still regarded Qin Feng as a brother.
It's just that what the two of them pursue has undergone earth-shaking changes, and they have to part ways.
Zhao Yulong's goal is always to focus on the country and the country of Daliang.
In Qin Feng's heart, nothing is as important as his family and brothers.
This made Zhao Yulong both helpless and angry.
In his opinion, Qin Feng could have created a prosperous age for Daliang, but Qin Feng was content with the shortcomings of his parents and the love of his children.
Zhao Yulong was extremely disappointed with Qin Feng, so even if they parted ways, Zhao Yulong had no regrets.
Looking at the flattering Hei Wei, Zhao Yulong showed no mercy and said coldly: "There is no need to flatter me. Is my understanding of Qin Feng not as good as yours?"
"Don't think that just because Qin Feng and I went our separate ways, you can stir up trouble in the middle."
"Hmph, if Qin Feng didn't care so much about the love between his children, how could Hei Wei Si be qualified to jump up and down here?"
Facing Zhao Yulong's refutation, instead of being angry at all, Hei Wei's smile became even stronger.
"The general's lesson is that his subordinates should take it to heart."
"But Qin Feng has indeed betrayed Daliang. Everyone in the world knows this."
"The general is a loyal minister of the Liang Dynasty. How could he remember his past friendship and turn a blind eye to Qin Feng's evil deeds?"
Hei Wei's words were extremely harsh to Zhao Yulong!
His eyes suddenly sharpened, he grabbed Hei Wei's neck, and his voice was extremely cold.
"What did you say? Qin Feng is a traitor?"
"In the whole world, among the civil and military dynasties, who can compare with Qin Feng in terms of contribution to Daliang?"
"If it weren't for Qin Feng, Daliang would still be in a situation where it was being attacked by Beidi and the powerful families in the south. The people would be in dire straits and the mountains and rivers would be broken."
"It is precisely because Qin Feng turned the tide that Daliang can gradually recover and recover."
"Have you forgotten all these achievements?"
"Just because Qin Feng left the world, you regarded Qin Feng as a traitor, and you wanted to kill him quickly, just like a flying bird hiding his good bow."
"When my usefulness is gone, will it be my turn to kill you?"
Hei Wei didn't expect Zhao Yulong's reaction to be so intense.
His neck was pinched and he could hardly breathe. Hei Wei's face became paler.
It wasn't until Hei Wei was about to be strangled to death that Zhao Yulong let go of his hand and kicked him away.
"You guys like you who only know how to play tricks, if Daliang relied on you, the country would have been destroyed long ago."
Hei Wei kept rubbing his neck, breathing heavily, and his eyes gradually changed when he looked at Zhao Yulong, showing fear.
As Qin Feng's former right-hand man, Zhao Yulong's personality was completely different from Qin Feng's.
He is the kind of ruthless person who never rubs dirt in his eyes and is willing to sacrifice everything to achieve his goals.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yulong and Qin Feng finally parted ways.
Captain Hei quickly lowered his head and whispered what Shang Feng meant.
"General, calm down. I have not forgotten Qin Feng's contribution, just now and then."
"Qin Feng took the Qin family out of Kyoto and occupied the northern territory as king. He has already fought against the imperial court."
"Not only that, Qin Feng also instigated Wu Heli to attack the Black Lieutenant stronghold."
"Not long ago, Qin Feng actually appointed and dismissed the northern county magistrate at will. This is tantamount to considering himself the king of the northern border and equal to His Majesty."
"It's not that we are ungrateful, but Qin Feng has gone too far."
Hearing this, Zhao Yulong snorted again.
"Nonsense! If you want the Qin family to act as hostages, how can Qin Feng agree?"
"This is the result of doing something you know you can't do."
"If you can be broad-minded and coexist peacefully with the Qin family, Qin Feng will still be the best and most powerful minister in Daliang."
"I'll say it again, I'm not interested in those bullshit plots. If you try to sow discord in front of me again, I'll kill each one!"
Feeling the hostility emanating from Zhao Yulong, Hei Wei did not dare to speak any more and could only turn around and leave.
Zhao Yulong ignored Hei Wei and looked towards the north. Although his face was expressionless, he felt a little reluctant in his heart.
"It seems that you and His Majesty have completely broken off..."
"Obviously not long ago, the monarch and his ministers were very close, but in the blink of an eye, they were already at war with each other."
"Not just Your Majesty? Didn't you and I also part ways?"
"We can only share suffering, but not wealth and honor. It's sad..."
Zhao Yulong slowly closed his eyes. Although he did not want to see that scene, his reason told him that Emperor Liang would never let Qin Feng go, and there must be a battle between Zhao Yulong and Qin Feng.
How sad it is that brothers who used to share weal and woe are now facing each other with swords on the battlefield.
