Tantai Huang’s body was wrapped in the quilt, but his hands were still cold. Qi Ning’s heart sank, knowing that the old prince might not last long.

Although Tantai Huang looked very weak, there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: “I asked you to come alone, you are not afraid, it seems that the courage of Jinyi Qi’s family still remains on you.”

He still spoke clearly, Qi Ning clenched his hand and said, “Old Prince, I’ll go to the doctor right away and give it to you…!”

“Life, old age, sickness and death, manpower is hard to beat.” Tantai Huang said with a smile: “Don’t worry about me, when it’s time to go, even if Daluo Jinxian comes into the world, it will not keep me.”

Qi Ning looked sad, although Jindao Tantai and Jinyi Qi’s family used to have a deep estrangement, but in these days when he was in contact with Jindao Tantai’s family, the two sides did not have too deep hostility, and he was very worried. It is clear that the incomparably weak old man in front of him was once a generation of famous generals who galloped on the battlefield and made countless achievements for the Great Chu Empire. He is indeed an elder worthy of respect.

Since ancient times, famous generals are like beautiful women, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world.

“You have done a good job with regard to the East China Sea.” Tantai Huang said softly, “It has preserved the reputation of the Tantai family and stabilized the situation in the East China Sea for the imperial court.”

Qi Ning immediately said, “That’s what the younger generation should do.”

Tantai Huang shook his head and smiled and said, “People are cunning. There are not many people who send charcoal in the snow, but there are many people who fall into the pit.” When he said this, he suddenly coughed violently. Qi Ning was suddenly a little anxious. Tantai Huang took a handkerchief, Covering his mouth, Qi Ning said, “Old Prince, you should rest well, it’s so late…!”

“Don’t worry.” Tantai Huang raised his finger and pointed to a small chair next to him: “You sit down first!”

Qi Ning pulled the small chair and sat down beside Tantai Huang, who then said: “Since the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom, it has been extremely difficult to walk along the way. To this day, my Great Chu is still troubled by internal and external troubles. Be careful, and you will end up in a state of ruin and ruin.”

With a serious expression, Qi Ning said, “After the emperor ascended the throne, he has ambitions. With time, I will surely make my great Chu prosperous.”

“The emperor will definitely become a good emperor.” Tantai Huang said slowly: “No matter how wise the emperor is, he must also have capable officials to assist him. We old officials can no longer share the emperor’s worries, and we can no longer fight for the court. On the battlefield, these burdens need to be shouldered by you later generations.”

Hearing his tone, Qi Ning knew that what he said was not polite, but a heartfelt hope, and respectfully said: “Old Prince, rest assured, for the sake of Chu and the emperor, Qi Ning will do his best.”

Tantai Huang nodded slightly and said with a smile: “Among the younger generation, there are not many talents who can stand on their own.

“The old man is too famous.”

“Remember, always be loyal to the emperor, always believe in the emperor.” Tantai Huang said sternly: “The emperor is a very promising monarch. With your help, I will be able to prosper and prosper.” Another cough, Qi Ning Looking at it, I sighed in my heart, thinking to see this, Tantai Huang’s deadline is probably only in these few days.

There was a sudden worry in his heart.

In today’s court situation, among the four major hereditary families, the Sima family can be regarded as the only one. Because of this, Qi Ning has actually always hoped to form a political alliance with Jindao Tantai, and the strength of the two is enough to make the Sima family feel afraid and dare not act rashly. Shang also sent a clear signal of alliance to the Jindao Tantai family.

In the political battle, no one who has a loud voice can win the battle. Both sides of the battle have accumulated strength, and when they have to tear their faces, they will completely rely on the strength in their hands to compete.

Today, the only remaining military boss in the empire is Tantai Huang.

Tantai Huang exists for a day, and the Sima family will be afraid for a day.

After all, the influence of this veteran in the military is already unique. The Tantai family has always kept a low profile, but no one knows how powerful Tantai Huang will be when the veteran takes action one day. That also had to consider the strength of Tantai Huang, so although the power was full of power, it was not completely unscrupulous after all.

However, if Tantai Huang dies, a great weapon to deter Sima Lan will disappear. At that time, the situation in the court will be more powerful for the Sima family. Looking at the Jinyi Qi family, once Tantai Huang’s threat to Sima Lan disappears, then from now on The Jinyi Qi family will have to face the Sima family alone, and will become the biggest thorn in the Sima family’s eyes, and this is precisely the situation that Qi Ning does not want to see.

Without Tantai Huang and Tantai Zhilin, the Tantai family would be like a tiger without teeth, like a sick cat, and would not even be seen by anyone.

Since the death of the old Marquis of Wuxiang, the Su family of Wuxiang has been lingering. There is only a standing position in the court, but no place to speak.

After the death of Qi Jing, the Jinyi Qi family had actually lost direct control over the Qinhuai Army. Although Qi Ning had suddenly emerged and was barely able to support it, the only trump card in his hand that could be used directly was the weak Blackscale Battalion.

On the contrary, the Sima family held the Black Sabre Battalion, and they already had the Xuanwu Battalion in their hands. They even sent Sima Changshen to the Qinhuai Army to seize the military power. Once Tantaihuang passed away, Sima Lan would let go of the power, and Qi Ning believed it would not be used. After a long time, the Sima family was not only able to control the troops and horses near Gyeonggi, but also Sima Changshen would form a climate in the Qinhuai Army. As a result, the military and government fell into the hands of the Sima family, and there was no longer an unmatched opponent in the DPRK.

“There are changes in the north, but it is a great opportunity.” Tantai Huang said slowly: “Qining, do you think this opportunity can be missed?”

Qi Ning shook his head and said, “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that cannot be missed. The imperial court has formed an alliance with the people of Eastern Qi, and the two countries have joined forces to attack Han. The emperor is about to go to Pinglin for an autumn hunt to boost his morale. After the autumn hunt, he should soon send troops to the northern expedition. already.”

Tantai Huang said: “Do you think this is a good opportunity for the Northern Expedition?”

Qi Ning was stunned, only to feel that Tantai Huang had something to say, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: “Several princes of the Northern Han Dynasty are fighting for the throne, and now they are fighting each other. Xiang Luoyang, and the sixth son Beitanghao also summoned soldiers and horses near Luoyang to compete with Beitangzhao. Zhiruo fourth son Beitangfeng ran to Xianyang, and relying on the strength of his uncle Qu Yuangu, he has also reached Tongguan. , pounced on Luoyang. The Northern Han is now raging with civil wars, and the sand is scattered. At this time, if I, the Great Chu and the people of the Eastern Qi, join forces in the northern expedition, we will definitely be able to achieve something.”

Tantai Huang’s voice is weak, but his mind is still very clear: “In your opinion, once the Northern Expedition, do we have the strength to attack and destroy the Northern Han in one fell swoop?”

Qi Ning pondered for a while before saying: “Old Prince, things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and the war has not yet started, it is difficult to determine who wins and who loses. Although Northern Han is caught in civil strife, but after all, its strength is strong, since it can stand against my great Chu. They have been undefeated for decades, and there are not a few elite soldiers. I am in the Northern Expedition of Chu, which is to go abroad to fight, far away from the mainland. Compared with the two countries, each has its advantages and disadvantages, so I dare not assert that the Northern Expedition must win.”

Tantai Huang’s eyes showed a hint of relief, and said, “You can think of this, it is already very difficult. Many people in the DPRK only think that this Northern Expedition and the civil strife in the Northern Han, we and the Eastern Qi alliance will be successful in one fell swoop.” He sighed: “That’s all a scholar’s opinion. If your father was still alive, he would never have such an idea.” He motioned for Qi Ning to come closer, Qi Ning stepped forward, and Tantai Huang said softly: “The civil strife in the Northern Han Dynasty, For my great Chu, it is indeed a good opportunity from heaven, but it is not a good opportunity to attack the Northern Han Dynasty, but… a good opportunity to win the Eastern Qi!”

Qi Ning’s color changed dramatically, but Tantai Huang’s eyes were extremely deep, and he whispered, “You didn’t think of it?”

“Old Prince, what do you mean, while the civil strife in the Northern Han Dynasty, let’s… attack and destroy the Eastern Qi?” Qi Ning was horrified, never thought that Tantai Huang would have such a plan.

Tantai Huang said slowly: “The Northern Han is by no means a country that can be pacified in a single battle. Of course, it is because the strength of the Northern Han cannot be underestimated, but also because there is still a huge variable in the Northern Han.”

“variable?”

“Changling Marquis Beitangqing!” Tantai Huang said word by word: “Your father Qi Jing is an extraordinary general, and Changling Marquis Beitangqing’s military ability is by no means inferior to your father. Beitangqing leads the southern army of the Han kingdom, and your father is deadlocked on the Qinhuai River.

Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, “The younger generation also knows that Bei Tangqing is the number one famous general of the Northern Han Dynasty, and has a very high prestige in the hearts of the Han army, but… I heard that he suddenly disappeared many years ago. Now the commander of the Southern Army is Zhong Liao.”

“Whether he is dead or alive, no one knows.” Tantai Huang said: “Once the coalition forces invade the Northern Han, the Northern Han people will not sit still, and they will definitely end the civil strife and resist our attack in unison. Yue Huanshan will deal with Zhong Liao. However, once Beitangqing is still alive and the Northern Han hands over the military power to him in times of crisis, the consequences will be unimaginable, and Yue Huanshan is by no means an opponent of Beitangqing.” He paused. , and sighed: “Looking at my generals in Great Chu, there is no opponent who can match Beitangqing.”

Tantai Huang fought all his life, and Qi Ning certainly believed his judgment.

He suddenly realized that if the state of Chu really went all out to attack Beihan this time, once Beitangqing appeared and the Chu army faced such a terrifying opponent as Beitangqing, the situation would definitely be in danger. The failure of the Northern Expedition would, after all, lead to domestic turmoil for Chu, and no one would be able to predict the situation in the world at that time.

Know yourself and the enemy, and you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles.

But the biggest problem of Chu country now is that it is not clear whether Beitangqing is dead or alive. If Beitangqing is really dead, and taking this opportunity to expedition to the north, it is not hopeless, but if Beitangqing is still alive, and Beitangqing is still alive. Han used him as his commander in times of crisis, which was a big bad news for the Chu army.
