Zhou Ting, the Marquis of Changling, was stunned and immediately said: "Master, if Feng Polu had some friction with Qiao Mingtang in private, it would be possible, but Feng Polu should not rebel."

"Oh?" Dingwu's face was cold.

Zhou Ting took a step forward and lowered his voice and said, "Sage, although Feng Polu is a surrendered general in Hexi, the Saint has already given him the title of Marquis of Beiyong, and his grace is extremely honorable."

"Maybe he wants more things." Dingwu said lightly.

Zhou Ting shook his head and said, "Feng Polu doesn't have the courage to rebel. Even if he wants to rebel, his Yi barbarian soldiers will never rebel with him. The Yi barbarian chiefs are now in Wuping Prefecture City. As long as these chiefs are in our hands, Feng Polu cannot let the Yi barbarians follow him to rebel. Moreover, at this time, he will destroy himself. Chu Huan is eyeing him. If he loses the support of Hexi because of rebellion, Feng Polu will have only one way to die."

When Dingwu heard this, he nodded slightly, "You are right. I am too careful and I will not doubt people. At this time, I can only believe in Feng Polu."

"Master, what is important now is whether Feng Polu can control Yunshan." Zhou Ting said: "Yunshan is Qiao Mingtang's territory. The memorial said that although Qiao Mingtang was injured and fled for fear of punishment, they have not yet found Qiao Mingtang's whereabouts. I am worried!"

"Worried that Qiao Mingtang will run to Chu Huan's side?" Dingwu Dao.

Zhou Ting said: "It's not impossible. Chu Huan did things under Qiao Mingtang back then. If Qiao Mingtang really went to Chu Huan, Chu Huan would definitely take them in. Qiao Mingtang has been in Yunshan for many years and has a great foundation. Yunshan has many connections. If he really wanted to surrender to Chu Huan and fight against the court, Feng Polu would be even more troublesome."

Dingwu frowned.

"Feng Polu can stand alone in marching and fighting, but this person has no ability to govern one side!"

Dingwu had already interrupted Zhou Ting and said, "I consider this reason, so after Qiao Mingtang was defeated, I did not blame him at all. I thought he would know what I mean and would work hand in hand with Feng Polu. These two men, one literary and one martial, should work hard to cooperate with Yunshan Prefecture and the support of Yuan Chongshang of Anyi, even if Chu Huan wants to swallow Yunshan, it would never be possible to do it easily." Speaking of this, anger appeared in his eyes, and he clenched his fists and said, "I didn't expect that these two men were like two wild dogs, biting each other, completely ignoring the overall situation. Now Qiao Mingtang rebelled, Feng Polu was alone in Yunshan. I was very worried about whether he could defend Yunshan."

Zhou Ting also showed a look of worry and said, "Sage, Feng Polu forced Qiao Mingtang away, which is probably a matter of resentment from the people of Yunshan. Now that he wants to defend Yunshan, he not only has to rely on force, but also to conquer the hearts of the people of Yunshan. If he loses the people's hearts, the consequences will be even more unimaginable." After he hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "I am worried that Feng Polu has always been unruly. And as far as I know, when Feng Yuanpo's command was under his command, he would inevitably bully men and women to seize land and produce. He was in Yunshan alone, without checks and balances, and without constraints, if he was negligent, he might cause a huge disaster."

Dingwu agreed deeply and nodded slightly, "I am also worried about this. The Liaodong people are already attacking Yanshan. I can only deal with the main forces of Hexi to the Liaodong people. Before repelling the Liaodong people, Yunshan must not be misunderstood. Marquis Changling, what do you think should do next?"

"Master, as you said, before repelling the Liaodong people, you must ensure that the Northwest Army cannot take Yunshan. As long as Yunshan is in our hands, Chu Huan dares not bypass Yunshan to enter Hexi. However, once Yunshan is lost, Chu Huan will definitely take advantage of the opportunity of our army's main force defending the Liaodong people in Yanshan to attack our Hexi." Zhou Ting looked solemn, "Even if he will not launch an offensive against Hexi immediately, and instead attack Xiyang County in Anyi, control Daqingshan, and cut off the connection between Hexi and Anyi, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Dingwu's expression became more and more serious.

The situation in the world is changing, and in just a few months, Dingwu felt that everything was completely separated from his plan.

He inherited the throne, but he had a seemingly beautiful blueprint in his heart, blocking Xigu Pass, and relying on the insurmountable natural barrier to trap the Northwest Army to death in the northwest, and then sat down to watch the Liaodong Army and the Qingtian King fight each other and take the opportunity to recuperate.

After all, at that time, Qin actually controlled large areas in the north, Hexi, Xishan, Anyi and Hujin were all the spheres of influence of Qin. As long as there was enough time to recruit soldiers and horses, save grain and accumulate food, Qin could completely grow rapidly.

But now everything has changed.

The Northwest Army had already entered the pass, and the Liaodong people suddenly went crazy, as if they were going to pass through Yanshan at all costs. This was something Dingwu had never expected in advance.

Unable to predict the enemy, and even such a sudden change in Yunshan was not expected by Dingwu.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that after the change of the situation, Qin State had fallen into a precarious situation. With Qin State's current strength, it would be very difficult to deal with Liaodong or the northwest, not to mention that it has obviously formed a force of attacking one wolf and one tiger on both sides.

Dingwu knew very well that once Yunshan fell, Chu Huan had almost completely stood firm in the pass. Based on Yunshan, the Northwest Army would advance and retreat freely.

As Zhou Ting said, Chu Huan took Yunshan and either took advantage of the situation to attack Hexi or attack Anyi and cut off the connection between Anyi and Hexi. Although Hexi has rich minerals, it is not a heavy grain production area. However, there are many grain fields in Anyi. After Dingwu ascended the throne, he regarded Anyi as the granary of the Qin State. Once the connection with Anyi was cut off, Anyi would not be able to provide Hexi with loose grain and grass. This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to withstand both threats and need to recruit more troops.

"Changling Marquis, Yunshan must not be wrong." Dingwu pondered slightly and finally said: "Feng Polu was born as a martial artist and was frivolous in his work. He had to send someone to supervise him."

Zhou Ting frowned and said, "But Feng Polu has now been granted the title of Marquis, and he doesn't even take Qiao Mingtang seriously. There are few people in the court who can restrain him."

"You!" Dingwu stared at Zhou Ting.

Zhou Ting was stunned. Dingwu had already explained: "Yunshan is a major place that cannot be lost. When people are sent here, they will not only supervise Feng Polu so that he will not be able to do anything wrong, but also help him stabilize Yunshan and calm the hearts of the people. All the civil and military officials in the court can have prestige and talent to take on this important task, but you will have nothing to do with you."

Zhou Ting knew that what Dingwu said was true. Although Feng Polu was rebellious, he really did not dare to betray Qin under the current situation. However, there were only a few civil and military officials in the court who could make Feng Polu a little afraid. He was given the title of Changling Marquis. Everyone could see that he was highly valued by Ding in Hexi, and it was probably only if he personally took action to suppress Feng Polu.

"Master, if I leave, here in Hexi!" Although Zhou Ting knew that only by going to Yunshan could he control the situation a little, it was now a serious moment. He was worried that he would leave Hexi, so there was one person who could give advice around Dingwu.

"Don't worry about Changling Hou." Dingwu knew Zhou Ting's thoughts and said, "I can control it in Hexi. You can hurry to Yunshan as soon as possible. Remember, I asked you to go to Yunshan, not to let you and Feng Polu attack Chu Huan. Chu Huan's northwest army is strong and strong, so you should not take the risk of fighting with him. You must supervise Feng Polu and guard Yunshan Mansion to death. Yunshan Mansion has high walls. As long as you stick to it with all your strength, you will be able to support it for a while. I will recruit troops as soon as possible. As long as you can hold on for two months, I will definitely send reinforcements to reinforce."

Zhou Ting didn't know if Dingwu could really send reinforcements at that time. Once the Liaodong people really fought Yanshan, not to mention sending reinforcements, I'm afraid that Yunshan's troops would return to the rescue quickly. However, at this time, it was natural that it was hard to say this. He bowed and said, "I obey the order." He hesitated for a moment, and saw Dingwu's thin face, and knew that Jiangshan had become like this now. Although Dingwu wanted to do his best to turn the world around, the situation had developed to this point. It was really difficult to restore the Qin Dynasty. He took a step forward and said, "Master, after I left, you should take care of the dragon body!"

Dingwu knew that Zhou Ting was loyal and sincere, sighed and said, "Marquis Changling, the world has reached this point, I can only hold on!" After pondering slightly, he said softly: "In fact, even I don't know how long it can last, but the burden is on my body. My body is no longer important. Our king and ministers work together, even if we are torn to pieces in the end, we have to hold on until the last moment."

Zhou Ting suddenly felt a sense of desolation in his heart. He knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times before he retreated.

After Zhou Ting left, Dingwu's expression became more and more serious, leaning against a wheelchair, his face even pale.

He was determined to maintain the Qin Dynasty, but he felt that it was getting more and more difficult. He had been full of energy and thought about inheriting the throne and creating an unprecedentedly prosperous and glorious empire.

But ideals are full, but reality is very backbone.

The country he took over was already full of holes, like a sailboat drifting on the sea. The sailboat was already broken, and the storm shrouded the world. He wanted to repair the boat, and even wanted to let it ride the wind and waves and usher in a calm time. But now when he looked, he found that the boat had already rotten. No matter how it was repaired, new loopholes would appear. The strong wind had arrived and the heavy rain had dropped sharply. Even he didn't know now when the boat would be smashed by the strong wind and waves.

Xue Huaian, who was sent to Jinling to lobby Xu Chang, had already treasoned the country and surrendered to the enemy. Xu Chang in Jinling was completely unreliable. Xuanwu Qianhu went to Liaodong to investigate the life and death of Chi Liandian, but he never returned. No news came back. Shen Keqiu's trip to Goryeo was still no news. Dingwu only felt that the words said by his ancestors were really reasonable. Fortune was unparalleled and misfortunes never came. These days, no good news came, but there was continuous bad news.

Less than half an hour after Zhou Ting left, Dingwu's mood had not calmed down, and Lin Yuanfang and Ma Hong brought another bad news.
