"When the last general came over from there, the Wushuang Commander had already taken his soldiers and horses to Hulu Mountain, and Mr. Pei had already organized men to deploy outside Hezhou City." Xu Shao explained: "The Tianshan army is mainly cavalry, and even if it hits the city of Hezhou, it may not be good at attacking the city. On the Hezhou side, if you can block it for one more day, you can buy one more day for the Jiazhou side, so Pei Xiansheng began to dig a trench outside Hezhou City, and when the time comes, he can block the attack of the Tianshan army. ”

Chu Huan said with a smile: "There is Mr. Pei in Hezhou, I don't have to think about it." Now I don't know if the Koshu side can solve it quickly. By the way, Commander Xu, after you go back, tell Mr. Pei that you don't have to worry about logistics, before the Tianshan army arrives, Shuoquan will definitely supply enough grain and grass to pass. ”

Xu Shao said: "Don't worry, Chu Du will definitely bring the words." However, Mr. Pei said that there is only one factor that may affect our plans, and this factor may be fatal to us. ”

"What?"

"Ganhou's Northwest Army." Xu Shao's expression was solemn: "Ganhou has tens of thousands of Northwest Army in his hands, all of them are people who can recruit and fight well left by Feng Hanxiao back then, and it is rumored that Zhu Lingyue and Ganhou have had private dealings...... ”

"Have you had a private relationship?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "Who are you listening to?" ”

"That's what many people say......!"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Without conclusive evidence, it can't be proved that Gan Hou and Zhu Lingyue have something to do with it." "But I understand in my heart that Ganhou's Northwest Army is now really related to the pattern of the Northwest.

Although he just went to the Thirty-six Dock Fort not long ago and had contact with Ganhou, the two sides seemed to have a good talk and reached some kind of agreement, but people's hearts are unpredictable, what is Ganhou's plan in his heart, Chu Huan is not a roundworm in his stomach, it is really difficult to understand.

After a period of silence, Chu Huan asked softly, "If Ganhou's Northwest Army really knows how to move, will we definitely be defeated?" ”

Xu Shao hesitated for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Chu Du, the Northwest Army is not moving, we are facing the attack of Beishan and Tianshan, and it is already very dangerous...... Fang Rushui's thousands of men and horses in Jinzhou are impossible to block the ...... of the Northwest Army! ”

Chu Huan was upset and said, "It's man-made, let's just do our best." Xiang Xu Shao said: "Commander Xu, the governor will not keep you, you rush back overnight to assist Mr. Pei in the defense of Hezhou." ”

Xu Shao arched his hand, retreated with a few generals, in the side hall, only Chu Huan and Qi Hong remained, Qi Hong saw that Chu Huan's face was not very good-looking, and poured a cup of tea for Chu Huan in the past, Chu Huan took it, Qi Hong said: "Chu Du, the matter has come to this, we can only take one step at a time, we have already set up a position in Jiazhou, Xiao Huanzhang may not really dare to fight ......!" ”

Chu Huan took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, leaned back in the chair, pressed his temples with both hands, and asked, "Qi Hong, do you think Ganhou will really call?" ”

"I can't say for sure." Qi Hong shook his head and said, "We just reached an agreement with him, he won't turn his face and deny people so quickly, right?" ”

"People's hearts are unpredictable, if Zhu Lingyue gives him greater benefits, will he change his mind?" Chu Huan thought thoughtfully, "We are used to it, it only adds up to 40,000 people, even if we recruit troops now, it is too late, and even if we recruit them, they are just a rabble, and they will not play a big role." On the side of Koshu, the number of troops has increased to 15,000, which is much less than the strength of Beishan, and the soldiers and horses there must not be moved...... There are still more than 10,000 horses left on Shuoquan's side, and if Ganhou really calls, he can only transfer troops from Shuoquan to Jinzhou ......! ”

"My lord, with all due respect, the Northwest Army is a veteran of the war, and Ganhou is the general of the Northwest Army, even if we transfer troops to reinforce, we are at a disadvantage, but I am afraid that we will not be able to resist Ganhou. There are only more than 10,000 people on the Shuoquan side now, even if the army is sent to reinforce the past, they can't all be transferred over, if the Shuoquan side is empty, those bandits in Xiguan are afraid that they will take advantage of the opportunity to rise, and Shuoquan will be in ......danger at that time! Qi Hong obviously also felt that Xiguan was facing an unprecedented crisis, and his brows were furrowed.

Chu Huan waved his hand, smiled faintly, and asked, "There is no news from Qiu Ruxue's side yet?" ”

"Nope." Qi Hong said: "Chu Du, are you worried that something will happen to them?" These days, you seem to be worried about the bloody side of the enemy. My lord, do you think that they can't bring back King Qi because of their hatred? ”

Chu Huan hesitated for a moment before he smiled bitterly: "I'm not worried that they can't take King Qi out of the capital now, I'm only worried that there is a trap in the middle!" ”

"Trap?" Qi Hongqi said: "Chu Du, what do you mean?" ”

Chu Huan said: "The prince is a person with a deep city, I sent Qiu Ruxue, and indeed instructed him, if the king of Qi is really in trouble, and the king of Qi is willing to leave the capital, then do everything possible to rescue the king of Qi from the capital...... But if the King of Qi is really willing to go out of Beijing, then he must be in the most dangerous moment, otherwise as long as there is a slight opportunity, the King of Qi will not leave Beijing easily. ”

Qi Hong nodded and said: "King Qi is the prince, and he is an auxiliary country, and he will definitely not be willing to leave the capital unless he has to." ”

"So if the King of Qi is willing to leave the capital, it also proves that the King of Qi has completely fallen into a disadvantage in the capital, and even he can feel the danger." Chu Huan sighed: "If that's the case, I'm afraid that the capital will be completely controlled by the crown prince." ”

Qi Hong only felt that what Chu Huan said made a lot of sense, and nodded slightly.

"Qi Hong, you said that if the prince really controls the capital, can he send someone to closely monitor the king of Qi, of course he will know every move of the king of Qi." Chu Huan's brows tightened slightly, "If this is the case, Qiu Ruxue is like having a heavenly ability, and if you want to rescue King Qi under the nose of the prince, the possibility is too small." ”

Qi Hong said: "Chu Du is worried that Qiu Ruxue will fail? ”

"It's not that he's going to fail, it's that he's going to succeed." Chu Huan shook his head and said helplessly: "I'm just afraid that the prince will deliberately expose his flaws and let them successfully rescue King Qi!" ”

Qi Hong looked dazed, he couldn't understand what Chu Huan meant, after thinking about it, Wu felt a little confused, and asked: "Chu Du, do you mean that the prince will deliberately let Qiu Ruxue and them successfully rescue King Qi?" This...... I really don't understand the lowly position! ”

Chu Huan glanced at Qi Hong and sighed, "You still have to practice more." Let me ask you, if the King of Qi is in the capital, even if he is in the most dangerous time, is there any danger of his name? ”

"This ......!" Qi Hong hesitated for a moment before he said, "Chu Du, no matter how vicious the prince is, he won't dare to kill the King of Qi in the capital, right?" ”

"It's not too stupid." Chu Huan said: "Yes, even if the crown prince is powerful, even if the king of Qi is in the palm of his hand, he will not dare to kill the king of Qi." He is a prison country, and the king of Qi is an auxiliary country, even if the king of Qi really fell into his trap and was mastered by him the so-called evidence of the crime, but how to deal with the king of Qi, it is not his turn to be too self-decided, the life and death of the king of Qi can only be decided by the saint, if he is good at making claims, he will not be able to explain to the saint, this is one of them. Second, the prince has always been hidden in the prince's mansion, and he has also shown a generous and benevolent posture to the outside world, and he has always shown that he cares for King Qi, and it is his brother's love for his younger brother, if he really kills the king of Qi in the capital, he has finally woven a generous benevolence and face, which will be torn apart in an instant, he wants to be the emperor, and in the case that the king of Qi is obviously not an opponent, he will still hurt the killer, how will the people of the world look at him? ”

Qi Hong understood, nodded and said, "Yes, the prince doesn't dare to kill King Qi." ”

"Now if there is chaos today, and the bandits are like clouds, at this time, the prince killed the king of Qi, and the brothers killed each other, and spread all over the world, then the foundation of the Qin State will not be stable." Chu Huan sneered: "After all, there are still some people who think that the prince is generous, and when the prince ascends the throne, the world will be able to be peaceful, if a person who kills his brother ascends to the throne, do you think those who have hope for him will not be disappointed?" ”

"I see." Qi Hong suddenly brightened up, suddenly understood something, and said in a lost voice: "Chu Du, then he deliberately asked people to save King Qi from Beijing, is it ...... Is there anything left behind? ”

"If he really deliberately let go of King Qi, how could he not have a backhand." Chu Huan clenched his fists, and there was a look of worry in his eyes, "Before Qiu Ruxue left, I didn't think of it so deeply, but I always felt that something was wrong, and then I thought of this possibility...... Hey, I just hope I'm wrong. ”

"Chu Du, are you saying that even if the King of Qi suffers some grievances in the capital, he will not worry about his life, but when he leaves the capital, the danger will really come?"

Chu Huan nodded and said, "The premise is that the crown prince designed all this and let the king of Qi successfully get out of the capital, and all of this is in the prince's hands...... If this is the case, the prince is outside the capital, he must have arranged a killing move, in the capital, once the king of Qi is killed, no matter who kills him, the first person everyone suspects will be the prince, and the prince will not be able to wash it clean anyway, but if the king of Qi is killed outside the capital, then even if someone will suspect the prince, there will be no evidence. After all, now that there are many thieves, and the people of Tianmen Dao are everywhere, the prince can completely push the death of King Qi to Tianmen Dao or the bandits, and he will still be wiped out! ”

Qi Hong gasped, thinking about Chu Huan's analysis, a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, if the facts really developed like this, the prince was really scheming and terrifying, and his methods were also vicious and terrifying.

"Chu Du, if that's the case, then what should I do?" Qi Hong said: "Hatred is like blood, are they also in danger?" ”

"Everything is just my guess, how things happened, I am far away in the northwest, and it is difficult to know." Chu Huan pondered for a moment, "Originally, I wanted to send someone to pick it up, but there was no suitable candidate under my hand......!" Shaking his head, "It's not that there is no suitable candidate, it's just that the person ......!" sighed: "That's it, it's late, Qi Hong, you go down and rest first." ”

Qi Hong said: "Chu Du, you are also going to bed late and getting up early for a while, you look tired, so rest early." ”

"I know it." Chu Huan nodded, got up, didn't say much, went out of the door, and went to the backyard.

In fact, the suitable candidate he just said was none other than Mei Niang, Mei Niang is an expert in intelligence, if Mei Niang is really her own person, Chu Huan will naturally send her to meet the enemy without hesitation, but until today, what does the fox Meizi think in her heart, Chu Huan is also difficult to understand, although the two are in the same mansion, Chu Huan sometimes feels that the hearts of the two are very far away.
