After hearing the comments from his colleagues, the leader, Chen Zheng, had his hands behind his back and his face was also heavy.
"Your Majesty is eager for quick success and has been dazzled by the successive victories. If he really launches the Northern Expedition, I am afraid it will be the end for Daliang."
Seeing that Chen Zheng was so pessimistic, all the officials looked at each other with solemn expressions.
"Chen Shaobao, do you think this battle will be lost?"
When asked by his colleagues, Chen Zheng did not hide his true thoughts. As an upright official, he still had the courage to tell the truth.
"Isn't it obvious?"
"Although Daliang has won consecutive battles, don't forget who fought from beginning to end in these two battles."
"The generals who charge on the front line are all Qin Feng's life and death brothers. In other words, all generals who have passed the test of blood and fire and are good at fighting are Qin Feng's people."
Upon hearing this, Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, immediately expressed a different opinion.
"Isn't that right? Zhao Yulong and Sun Bo have also withstood the test and are still loyal to the court and have not followed Qin Feng."
Chen Zheng sneered directly.
"Zhao Yulong is indeed a talented general, but if you think about it, whether it was the Battle of Beidi or the Southern Expedition, Zhao Yulong was not the main general."
All the ministers lowered their heads, recalling carefully, and couldn't help but sigh.
It really is!
From the beginning of the Patriotic War. Zhao Yulong is just a brave general who charges into the battle, rather than commanding from behind.
If anyone has accumulated rich experience in this war, it is none other than Li Zhang.
There is no way Li Zhang would betray Qin Feng and serve Emperor Liang again.
Later, Daliang took the initiative to attack, and Zhao Yulong was transferred to the southern border, where he had been in a stalemate with the wealthy families in the southern border. The people who accompanied Qin Feng through the entire battle of Beidi were Xu Mo and Ning Hu.
Even in the Southern Expedition, Qin Feng was still in charge of the overall situation, and Zhao Yulong was still charging into the battle.
In the end, Qin Feng left, and Zhao Yulong took over the command. He did not show his unique leadership skills. Instead, he always followed Qin Feng's strategic plan, followed in Qin Feng's footsteps, and finished the war in a orderly manner.
Therefore, although Zhao Yulong has general talents, due to lack of experience, he can only be regarded as a strong general now.
As for Sun Bo...
Not to mention, the difference between Qin Feng and Qin Feng is not even the slightest bit.
Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't help but sigh: "It is indeed a huge trouble to not have a good general who can match Qin Feng."
Chen Zheng snorted: "It's more than that?"
"Are the quality of our soldiers higher than those of the northern troops?"
"The number of soldiers and horses in the north may not be as large as ours, but they are all veterans who have been baptized by the flames of war. Their combat effectiveness is self-evident."
"Your Majesty has relied too much on Qin Feng. All the fierce battles have been fought in the north. The result is that the fighting power in the north is getting stronger and stronger, while our garrison in Daliang is getting weaker and weaker."
“Besides that, there are materials and location.”
"Everyone knows how wealthy the Northern Territory is, and as a defender, Qin Feng wants to conquer it, which is as difficult as climbing to the sky."
"Coupled with the terrain of the northern border, there are large tracts of plains, and the advantages of the cavalry will be fully utilized."
"Do I need to say more about how powerful the Northern Cavalry is?"
When the Northern Cavalry was mentioned, all the noble officials fell silent in unison.
You know, in the battle between Daliang and Beidi, they lost more and won less because Beidi's cavalry was too powerful.
However, the Beidi cavalry was defeated by Qin Feng's northern cavalry.
and……
The most terrifying thing is that the cavalry under Qin Feng's command are also extremely rich, and the amount of horse equipment has reached an astonishing level. Even the logistics troops are equipped with a large number of horses.
It can be said that Qin Feng, who has the home court advantage, already has it at the same time, with the right time, right place and right people.
Qingliu Zhengchen also became pessimistic. In their view, the Northern Expedition launched by His Majesty was tantamount to seeking death.
Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't help but asked Chen Zheng: "Since your Excellency has seen so clearly, why didn't you advise Your Majesty just now in the main hall?"
This is exactly where Chen Zheng is helpless.
Chen Zheng couldn't help but sigh, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's useless."
"Your Majesty knows Qin Feng so well, how could he not know Qin Feng's strength? And the risks of this Northern Expedition?"
"But now His Majesty is only thinking about how to get rid of Qin Feng. If Qin Feng doesn't die, Your Majesty will probably have trouble sleeping and eating."
"So, no matter what I say, His Majesty will not adopt it. If that's the case, why waste your breath?"
Wai Lang, a member of the etiquette department, frowned and looked at Chen Zheng with even more confusion.
"Sir, I really can't figure it out. Your Majesty and Qin Feng were wise monarchs and wise ministers, and they were close to each other. Why did they become life and death in the blink of an eye?"
"Is it possible that it was just a joke before?"
Chen Zheng didn't answer and asked instead: "If it wasn't just for fun, then tell me why your majesty and Qin Feng became like this?"
Without waiting for a response from Wai Lang, the Minister of Ceremonies, Chen Zheng had already quickened his pace and left without looking back.
He had already seen it. From the moment Qin Feng put down Li Yong's rebellion but did not kill Li Yong, Qin Feng was already a serious problem for Emperor Liang.
In the eyes of Emperor Liang, Qin Feng's move was clearly to support a puppet.
If Emperor Liang is obedient, everything will be easy to talk about. If Emperor Liang is disobedient, Qin Feng will replace Emperor Liang with Li Yong.
This was absolutely intolerable to Emperor Liang.
Therefore, the life-and-death confrontation between Emperor Liang and Qin Feng has long been destined.
…
Emperor Liang moved very quickly. From the time he issued the imperial edict to the first batch of troops marching towards the northern border, less than ten days passed.
The first batch of troops was only more than 3,000 people.
Although the number is small, the role is not small. It is to consolidate the city defense of Dingtao County and create conditions for subsequent troops to go to the battlefield.
And this kind of strategy of "first taking a position, and then sending troops to the position continuously" was naturally learned by Emperor Liang from Qin Feng.
In fact, Emperor Liang knew in his heart that there was a huge gap between him and Qin Feng, especially in terms of military strength.
Qin Feng's troops are all tiger and wolf divisions that have fought hard battles, and are equipped with a large number of war horses, with extremely abnormal maneuverability.
In comparison, the imperial army seemed bloated and bulky.
But even so, Emperor Liang still felt that it was only a matter of time before the whole country could crush Qin Feng.
As long as Qin Feng falls, there will no longer be anyone in the world who can threaten the existence of Daliang. At that time, it will be the real Qianqiu Dynasty.
Half a month later, another group of troops headed towards the north.
This time, the person leading the troops was none other than Zhao Yulong.
Zhao Yulong led the main force of 7,000 people and slowly advanced towards the northern border, but his heart was extremely heavy.
He had also fought bloody battles for the Northern Territory, but now, he wanted to attack the Northern Territory with his own hands...
