Chapter 1113 Chess Game and Pieces

Zhang Han was stunned by his father's words for a long time, and after a long time, he thought of something, and asked in a low voice: "Father, you just said that whoever is in power in the Northwest... Do you mean that Zhu Lingyue can't get things done? "

Zhang Shuyan shook his head and said: "That's not the case. Of course I hope that Zhu Lingyue can succeed, but this kind of thing, no one can tell, the situation is changing, and the world is unpredictable. You must know that Beishan Xiao Huanzhang is not a good bird, old Jian Ju Cun is a person who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles. He has been in Beishan for many years and has a lot of friends. He seems to be a good guy, but if he really wants to open his fangs, he may not be weaker than Zhu Lingyue."

"Zhu Lingyue's biggest opponent is Xiao Huanzhang." Zhang Han said, "It's just that today is different. Now Zhu Lingyue's reputation and strength in the northwest may not be comparable to Xiao Huanzhang."

"Xiao Huanzhang is a man who can bend and stretch." Zhang Shuyan said: "If Chu Huan hadn't come to the northwest, Xiao Huanzhang might have continued to pretend to be a grandson and would have waited for the opportunity. Moving from Xiao Huanzhang to Chu Huan, Xiao Huanzhang is a person who sees every stitch, and now I am afraid that he just wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

"Father, do you really think that Chu Huan can threaten Zhu Lingyue?" Zhang Han was rather skeptical.

"Why not?" Zhang Shuyan smiled indifferently, "I'm afraid Zhu Lingyue would not pay attention to anyone else. In all honesty, the emperor's vision is really good. It's really an odd job to pick someone. Chu Huan was transferred to serve as Xiguan. Before the governorship, I have been wondering who the imperial court will send to Xiguan. I felt that the old emperor was old and confused, but I found out later that our old guy on the dragon chair is very shrewd. It is said that Chu Huan’s surname was able to make a comeback. After he took office, the seven surnames in Xiguan immediately approached him and formed an alliance. Only then did I know that Zhu Lingyue’s real opponent has finally arrived.”

Zhang Han nodded slightly and said: "The seven surnames of Xiguan are deeply rooted in Xiguan and have a very wide network of contacts. If it were not for them, Chu Huan would not be able to stay in Xiguan...!"

"That's why I said that the emperor is very accurate in judging people." Zhang Shuyan sighed: "The foundation already exists before the person arrives. The seven surnames in Xiguan depend on him to revive their family, and he also needs to rely on the foundation of the seven surnames in Xiguan to establish a firm foothold in Xiguan... ...!" Shaking his head and sighing, "I'm afraid Zhu Lingyue didn't expect that Chu Huan would have a relationship with the seven surnames of Xiguan." Stretching out the teacup, Zhang Han saw that the tea was cold, so he hurriedly got up and poured out the cold tea in the cup , adding new tea, Zhang Shuyan saw this, a smile appeared in his eyes, and when Zhang Han sat down, his voice was much gentler, and he said softly: "Chu Huan killed Dongfang Xin and Dong Shizhen, and Yuezhou is also under his control. In addition, Jia State is also under his control, Xiguan four states, he has already controlled two states, and his strength is no small matter, once the entire Xiguan is under his control, then his strength is enough to rival Zhu Lingyue and Xiao Huanzhang."

"Zhu Lingyue asked Jin and Hezhou to raise troops at the same time, naturally because he was worried that Chu Huan would really control the entire Xiguan." Zhang Han said softly. [

Zhang Shuyan nodded and said: "That's natural. After all, Zhu Lingyue is the governor of the Tianshan Mountains, not the governor of the entire Northwest. In special circumstances during the war, he has meritorious service and can mobilize troops and supplies, but once the Xiliang people withdraw, he can't always intervene." Zhu Lingyue is still aware of the fact that he has been involved in the affairs of other fields, and his merits are high. If he continues to "intervene" in the affairs of Beishan and Xiguan on the surface, he will inevitably be tabooed by the court and the emperor. This is not true for Zhu Lingyue. There is no benefit...!" Stroking his beard, he said with a faint smile, "Although he is ambitious, he is not reckless and arrogant. He can still control the timing of advance and retreat. After all, he is not prepared and dare not fight against the court. "

"That's why he's manipulating behind the scenes."

Zhang Shuyan nodded, and said: "Think about it, he used Dongfang Xin and Dong Shizhen behind the scenes as leaders, and spent great effort to open up the situation in Xiguan. In fact, he is already the governor of Xiguan in Tianshan. Xiao Huanzhang dare not fight him at all. , but when Chu Huan came, he beat him repeatedly, and in a short period of time, he destroyed most of everything he had painstakingly managed in Xiguan. Of course, he was unwilling. With a tiger lying on the couch, Zhu Lingyue might not be able to sleep day and night."

Zhang Han agreed: "Chu Huan has liquidated Yuezhou and Jiazhou, and will naturally recover Hezhou and Jinzhou next. If we don't raise troops, Chu Huan's first step will of course be to take back the military power of Jinhe and Hezhou."

"Xuanyuan Sheng just took over the power of General Pingxi from Dongfangxin, and he is fully qualified to mobilize the soldiers and horses of Jinhe and Hezhou. Zhu Lingyue knows this, so before Xuanyuan Shengcai is transferred, let us raise troops immediately. The two states make the last fight." Zhang Shuyan looked deeply, and said slowly: "Actually, it seems that Jin He Erzhou raised troops, but in fact it is a game of chess between Chu Huan and Zhu Lingyue. We are just pawns on the chessboard, but for him For the two of them, this is a crucial move, and the consequences of victory or defeat can completely determine the situation in the northwest. If Chu Huan can successfully capture Hezhou and gather the entire Xiguan, then one will change and the other will grow, and Zhu Lingyue's vitality will be greatly injured However, Chu Huan has the capital to stand against Zhu Lingyue."

"If Chu Huan can capture the city of Hezhou in this battle, not only will he be able to control Hezhou, but his army will be greatly boosted and his reputation will be greatly increased. What's more, those gangsters who are about to make a move may be frightened to death by this battle. Don't dare to act rashly." Zhang Han said thoughtfully.

Zhang Shuyan smiled and said, "That's right, if you win, it will be beneficial to Chu Huan, but once you lose, Chu Huan will have to pay a heavy price."

"If the success is returned and Jinhe Erzhou can't be recovered, then Chu Huan can only sit on half of Xiguan." After all, Zhang Han is the son of the general, and he can see many things clearly. Forget it, Chu Huan's military power has weakened, his reputation has plummeted, and Xiguan is full of bandits. At that time, even if Chu Huan wants to live in Jiayue two states, it will be a dream...!"

"If Chu Huan can't defeat Hezhou, he won't be staying in Xiguan for long." Zhang Shuyan sneered, "Don't forget that Chu Huan belongs to King Qi. Huan lost, do you think Tide will let go of this opportunity to attack the Qi royal party? Chu Huan has opponents in the court and in the northwest, and they will definitely join hands to remove Chu Huan from the position of governor of Xiguan come down."

Zhang Han said with a smile: "From this point of view, Chu Huan's bet this time is really not small."

Zhang Shuyan picked up the teacup, took a sip, spit out the tea leaves in his mouth, and said, "If there is no accident, Chu Huan's battle will be very difficult, and it is very likely that he will return with success...!"

"As long as he is alone, Zhu Lingyue will naturally become the most powerful force in the Northwest." Zhang Han frowned and said, "Of course Xiao Huanzhang couldn't be Zhu Lingyue's opponent at that time. Why did my father say that the future of the Northwest is vague?"

"It's just because there is no conclusion before the end of the war." Zhang Shuyan sighed: "We have thought about it, and if we attack Hezhou Cheng with Chu Huan's current strength, there is a good chance that we will return with success, but the world is absolute. Guessing may not necessarily be the result, many things will not end, you will never guess the ending, whether Chu Huan will win or lose is unknown." Then he frowned and said: "We have not sent anyone to Hezhou until now. Come back, we don't know anything about the current battle situation in Hezhou...!"

Zhang Han said: "Father, you don't have to worry. It's Hezhou's sixth normal time, and the weather is bad. The dispatched people are afraid that there will be delays on the way...!"

"I hope so." Zhang Shuyan sighed, and said: "If this is the case, then it's okay. I'm afraid that other accidents will happen. Although Hu Zongmao and I don't see eye to eye, I still hope that he can hold on in this battle." After a pause, he stared at Zhang Han, and said softly, "Do you know what you think about being a father now? In this battle, you don't seek to kill the enemy, but to protect yourself. As long as Hu Zongmao guards Hezhou City, "force" Chu Huan to die Retiring is the greatest victory. They don't have to go out of the city, and we don't need to send troops. If we send troops, let alone a real fight, we will lose a lot of money and lose our own capital. Most importantly, once we send troops, we will be defeated As far as Zong Mao knows, with Hu Zongmao's surname, he will never let me, Zhang Shuyan, take the lead. If he rashly leaves the city because of this, disrupting the entire strategy, then Zhu Lingyue will really pursue it. It's to blame." [

Zhang Han suddenly realized, and said: "Why didn't father say it earlier? The child is stupid and has never figured out this verse."

Zhang Shuyan said: "The future of the Zhang clan will depend on you after all. You have to figure out many things by yourself. If you explain everything clearly to you as a father, you will never mature... Han'er, remember what you said as a father. In the whole world, we have no real enemies and no real friends. All we have is ourselves. Now we stand still and preserve our strength. This will benefit us after all. You want What I do is not to hang out with that woman every day, but to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers of the Genzi Battalion in the army and make them obey. For men, women are never the most important thing, the important thing is... ...!" Clenched a fist with one hand, said solemnly: "Power and strength!"

Zhang Han muttered to himself and repeated: "Power and strength!"

"That's right." Uncle Zhang said solemnly, "For this reason, we can cooperate with anyone who can be used, even if they are enemies, and even if the Xiliang people can give us these, we can also cooperate with them."

Zhang Han was startled, and suddenly heard a voice from outside: "General, Hezhou has an envoy!"——
