Chapter 1817: Alliance
"Ally with Xu Chang?" Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, groaned slightly, understood, and said, "Is Mr. worried that there will be variables in Jinling?" ”
Ximen Yi said: "Xu Chang is self-reliant, although his reputation is not good, but his strength should not be underestimated. Now that the Qin State is in a mess, there are many large and small forces, and when it is about to be discussed, Xu Chang's strength can be regarded as one of the top in the ranks. ”
"Fang Caiben Wang is talking about Xu Chang with his eldest brother, and he is still worried that if Xu Chang is allowed to grow stronger, he will become our confidant in the future." Chu Huan sighed.
Ximen Yi said: "Xu Chang sits in Jinling Cang, and there is a naval army in his hand, with such strength, I am afraid that he has long been targeted." ”
"What does Sir mean is that there will be other forces secretly allied with Xu Chang?" Pei Ji's expression was solemn, "If this is the case, things will be difficult." ”
"The Qingtian King of Hebei, the Chiliandian of Liaodong, the Dingwu of Hexi, and even the cadre forces of Tianmen Dao are now all based on one side, and the war is blazing, and in this form, a private alliance is essential." Ximen Yi said: "If nothing else, the Hexi side will definitely secretly contact Xu Chang in order to attack the king in two ways." If the king was only on guard against the king before, then now the king has taken the two states of Tongliang, which has formed a great threat to Hexi, and Hexi will definitely conquer the king at any cost. ”
Chu Huan just looked at Ximen Yi and didn't speak.
"Although Hexi wants to conquer the king, if they really mobilize all the soldiers and horses, Hexi will definitely be empty, and Liaodong will have an opportunity, so Dingwu will never make such a move." Ximen Yi said: "Hexi has to guard against Liaodong and deal with the king, with their current strength, it is impossible to fight on two fronts, so it is not surprising to seek an alliance with other forces." ”
Pei Ji said: "Whether it is the Qingtian King or the Tianmen Dao, it is impossible for Hexi to come together with them, and the only one who has the strength to join forces with them to deal with the Northwest Army is Xu Chang, of course Dingwu will not miss such a candidate." ”
Chu Huan bowed slightly, and Ximen Yi said: "Although Xu Chang killed the master and stood on his own, he did not openly raise the banner against Qin, which gave Hexi the opportunity to form an alliance with them. If Hexi really gave Xu Chang enough temptation, Xu Chang might not turn the spearhead and join forces with the Qin army to flank the king, if things really developed like that, the shape would be in jeopardy. ”
Chu Huan had to admit that the Northwest Army could deal with it alone in the face of the Jinling Army and even the Qin Army, but if it fell into the middle attack of the two people, it would definitely be more than lucky.
"It seems that we really want to send someone to Jinling." Chu Huan groaned slightly, and finally said: "We are worried that Xu Chang will join forces with Hexi to flank our army, why don't Xu Chang worry that we will keep an eye on Jinling Cang, although he has many soldiers and horses, most of them are newly recruited new troops, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to ours!" ”
"The king, the contemptible people are willing to go to Jinling and form an alliance with Xu Chang on behalf of the king." Ximen Yi unexpectedly volunteered: "As long as the two sides reach an agreement, they will have no worries, Xu Changda can attack the south, and we can also concentrate on the north." ”
"You?" Chu Huan was stunned.
Ximen Yi smiled strangely: "The king doesn't think that Ximen is not a suitable candidate?" ”
Chu Huan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. misunderstood, it's just that I went to Jinling, the good luck and evil are unknown, Xu Chang, we don't know about this person, just in case!" ”
"The king, although the alliance with Xu Chang is to take what they need, it is not easy to convince Xu Chang." Ximen Yi said: "If you can't convince Xu Chang that we are sincerely allied with them, even if you agree on the surface, a piece of paper is still a piece of waste paper." He smiled leisurely and said, "Ximen asked himself if there was a way to make Xu Chang believe in our sincerity." ”
Chu Huan groaned slightly, and finally said: "Since Mr. is so sure, this king will also follow Mr.'s wishes, and you will go to form an alliance with Xu Chang, but!" He smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "But I would like to take this opportunity to go to Jinling with my husband." ”
Ximen Yi and Pei Ji were both stunned, Pei Ji had already said: "King, the situation in Jinling is unknown, if you go in person, I'm afraid!" ”
Chu Huan had already raised his hand and said, "Big brother, don't worry, it is precisely because we don't know much about the situation in Jinling, so I want to go there in person to find out." Regardless of whether this time or not an alliance with Xu Chang, we have to avoid a war with Jinling, sooner or later it will happen, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other will not be defeated in a hundred battles, before the autumn harvest, our army will naturally not be able to use troops again, Qiao Mingtang is newly defeated, and it is impossible to invade Tongzhou for a while, take this opportunity, I will go to Jinling in person, so that I know myself and know the other, and prepare for the future. ”
Pei Ji frowned and said, "If you want to know about Jinling, you can send more spies." ”
"Other than that, I have other plans." Chu Huan said in a low voice: "If you can't reach an alliance with Xu Chang, then this trip to Jinling, you can contact the other two anti-kings in private, they are like fire and water with Xu Chang, but their strength is not as good as Xu Chang, in this case, if the Northwest Army takes the initiative to contact them and wants to join forces with them to deal with Xu Chang, what does the eldest brother think they will think?" ”
Pei Ji frowned and said with a smile: "If this is the case, their morale will definitely be greatly boosted, and in order to protect themselves, they will definitely fully cooperate with the Northwest Army to deal with Xu Chang." ”
"The eldest brother is back in Tongzhou, and he happens to be sitting here." Chu Huan said: "I can disguise myself as Mr. Ximen's entourage and go to Jinling with Mr. ”
Since the battle of the Heavenly Palace, Chu Huan has improved a lot in martial arts under the guidance of Luo Duo, and Luo Duo has taught Chu Huan the use of the Great Treasure Hui Sword, with Chu Huan's cultivation today, unless he meets a martial artist who is almost perverted like Luo Duo, it can be said that walking the world is unimpeded.
Today, Chu Huan's cultivation in martial arts is a realm that Chu Huan can't think of, in the past, he only thought that this kind of martial arts beyond the limits of human beings could only exist in legends, but today, he has not only witnessed the martial arts of those top masters, but also under the guidance of Luo Duo, he is now walking on the road to the top martial arts.
He and Rodo made an appointment to meet in the northwest, but since then there has been no news of Rodo, and his heart is worried from time to time, but thinking of Rodo's amazing martial arts, he thinks that Rodo is delayed because of other things, although he doesn't know Rodo's traces, but it is easy for Rodo to find him, and he only hopes that Rodo will come earlier.
This time when he went to Jinling, Chu Huan had a plan in his heart, but he didn't say it to Pei Ji and the others.
What Ximen Yi said is not wrong, once Dingwu really ignores the fact that Xu Chang established himself as the king and forms an alliance with Xu Chang, then the Northwest Army has almost no hope of winning under the attack of the two armies, and the best result can only be to retreat to the northwest and retreat to protect itself.
And Chu Huan knows very well that once Dingwu really wants to form an alliance with Xu Chang, the conditions offered must be quite tempting, he doesn't know much about Xu Chang, and he can't be sure whether Xu Chang will accept the alliance with Hexi, but there is only a glimmer of possibility, and the Northwest Army will be in trouble, and this is something that Chu Huan does not want to see.
This time he went to Jinling, of course, Chu Huan hoped to achieve the goal of a temporary alliance with Xu Chang as much as possible, but once he failed to achieve his goal, Chu Huan naturally would never allow Jinling to reach an alliance with Hexi Shun.
He had already calculated in his heart, but when it was really a last resort, he could only find an opportunity to assassinate Xu Chang.
Xu Chang is certainly defended by elite soldiers, but Chu Huan is confident that with his current martial arts, it is not without a chance to find an opportunity to assassinate Xu Chang.
As soon as Xu Chang dies, even if his subordinates will not collapse, they will inevitably fall into civil strife for Xu Chang's inheritance, once this happens, for the Northwest Army, the leaderless Jinling Army will naturally not pose much of a threat, and even after Jinling falls into civil strife, once there is a chance to swallow Jinling Cang, Chu Huan will definitely not hesitate.
Seeing Chu Huan's expression, Pei Ji knew that Chu Huan had made up his mind, and he also knew that Chu Huan's martial arts were extraordinary, even if something happened in Jinling, it should not be difficult to retreat with his whole body, and said softly: "Since the king has made up his mind, I won't persuade much, but I must be careful of my safety." ”
Chu Huan bowed slightly, and then said to Ximen Yi: "Sir, make a little preparation, the king of Ming Japan will entrust the affairs at hand to the general, and we will leave for Jinling the day after tomorrow." Turning his eyes at Pei Ji, he said: "Big brother, although Qiao Mingtang was defeated, Yunshan is still in his hands, and I just got a report, Hexi has sent a cavalry to reinforce Xishan, and it is stationed near Yunshan Mansion City, I heard that this cavalry is mainly barbarians, fierce and good at fighting, and the eldest brother needs to pay attention to their movements." ”
"Don't worry, I'm in control." Pei Ji nodded and said: "Xu Chang was under Yuan Budo before, his name was unknown, and not too many people knew about it, but he rose up in one day, such a person, the city government must be very deep, and the king must be careful." ”
Chu Huan nodded with a smile, Ximen Yi said goodbye and left first, and Pei Ji asked with a smile: "Second brother, I have heard about the vision of the sky, is that true or false?" ”
Chu Huan said with a smile: "If you can hide it from the world, how can you hide it from the eldest brother, if the eldest brother doesn't ask, I will also tell the eldest brother in detail." ”
"Oh?" Pei Ji said: "I heard what they said vividly, I heard that the second saint appeared and left the edict, and I wondered, what method did the second brother use to do this?" ”
"It's just a hot air balloon." Chu Huan smiled and said, "You and my brother have a few drinks tonight, and I'll tell you in detail!" Before he finished speaking, he heard a report from outside: "King Qichu, King Qi has arrived outside the mansion!" ”
The smiles on Chu Huan and Pei Ji's faces disappeared at the same time in an instant. R1058
