The father and son of the Zhang family changed their colors slightly when they heard the report. The father and son looked at each other, and Zhang Han said, "Father, could it be that Hezhou is in an emergency, and Hu Zongmao sent someone to ask for reinforcements?"

Zhang Shuyan had already said to the outside: "Let him wait in the outer hall." Then he said to Zhang Han: "Do you think Hu Zongmao sent someone to ask for reinforcements?"

Zhang Han nodded slightly, and said: "At this time, there are only two possibilities for sending someone here. Either he "forced" Chu Huan back and sent someone to tell him that he wanted to show off his prestige, or he could only The soldiers are in an emergency, and Hezhou City is about to lose its hold, so we sent people over to ask for help."

"Since that's the case, why do you think he must be asking for help?"

"Father, think about it. Chu Huan has a lot of soldiers and horses, and Hu Zongmao would never dare to go out of the city to fight Chu Huan." Zhang Han said softly: "But my father said a long time ago that with Chu Huan's troops and food, we can support twenty In the next day or even a month, there should be no problem. Based on the speed of Chu Huan's march and the time spent on the journey by the Hezhou visitors this time, Chu Huan will not exceed ten days in Hezhou. It is hard to believe that Hu Zongmao will be there in ten days. Chu Huan can be "forced" to retreat or even defeated within a few days, so it is impossible to send someone to report the good news."

Zhang Shuyan laughed loudly, and said: "Han'er, my father has already said that you have a bright future, and some things can be figured out with your brain. Keep your calm, and you must not be corrupted by drinking alcohol." brain." But the smile on his face disappeared quickly, and he frowned and said, "What you said makes sense, but... I'm afraid you may not be here to ask for reinforcements."

Zhang Han was taken aback, and wondered, "Is there any other possibility?"

Zhang Shuyan groaned slightly, and then slowly said: "As long as Hu Zongmao is not at the end of the mountain, he will never ask me for help. Hezhou is adjacent to Shazhou in the south and Jinzhou in the north. Although Hezhou City is farther away from Shazhou than Jinzhou is. Farther away, but if he really asks for help, it must be in the direction of Shazhou, not Jinzhou. Zhu Lingyue asked us to raise troops. At a critical moment, Hu Zongmao must have thought of Zhu Lingyue, not to mention that Hu Zongmao should know that even if we send troops Even if the two states of Jin and He join forces, they may not be Chu Huan's opponent. Only when troops from Tianshan Mountain can they hug Hezhou." [

"But in this case, even if Hu Zongmao sent someone to Tianshan for help, would Zhu Lingyue really send troops?" Zhang Han frowned and said, "Father, Zhu Lingyue asked us to raise troops because he didn't dare to come forward. Once he sends troops How can He Zhou explain it to the court?"

Zhang Shuyan said with a faint smile: "It's one thing for Hu Zongmao to send someone for help, but it's another thing for Zhu Lingyue to send troops or not. Whether or not he sends troops depends on what Zhu Lingyue thinks."

"What does father mean?"

"Based on common sense, of course Zhu Lingyue will not send troops easily." Zhang Shuyan's eyes flickered, and he said slowly: "But this is not a fixed number. If Zhu Lingyue sends troops, it is not uncommon. Although Zhu Lingyue is not fully prepared, but with In his heart, the current strength in his hands is by no means comparable to that of Chu Huan. If he really wants to send troops at this time, Chu Huan will be hard to resist. It’s going to be a complete rebellion.”

Zhang Han nodded slightly.

"Tianmen Dao is in the "chaotic" southeast. Although Lei Guheng is a general, he is a famous general in the world, but Tianmen Dao is too powerful, the court is empty, and the support for Lei Guheng is limited. Lei Guheng may not be able to destroy Tianmen Dao. " Zhang Shuyan walked to the side with his hands behind his back, looked at the rockery in the courtyard, and said slowly: "If it was only in the southeast, the imperial court could still send troops to march to the northwest, but Qingtian King of Hebei revived, and Han Santong retreated steadily. If Han Santong is really defeated, and then he wields his master Fu Haidao, then the eastern part of the empire will be controlled by King Qingtian...!"

Zhang Han changed his color slightly and said: "If that's the case, the salt roads of the empire will be completely sealed. The salt roads in the southeast have been difficult to transport salt to the inland due to the turmoil of Tianmen Dao. Once the last piece of salt is connected Daofuhai Road is also occupied by King Qingtian, and Tianmen Road and King Qingtian sealed off the salt road at the same time, the interior will definitely be seriously short of salt, then not only will there be a salt shortage in the pass, but we will also be doomed in the northwest."

Zhang Shuyan sighed: "You don't think it's important to have salt at ordinary times, but once the salt road is really cut off, it will be a big deal...so when the court deals with the southeast Tianmen way, it will never ignore the Qing Dynasty. Heavenly King, the imperial court does not have many supplies, but it needs to deal with two sides, do you think the imperial court still has time to take care of the northwest?"

Zhang Han understood, and said, "Father is saying that under such an opportunity, even if Zhu Lingyue is not fully prepared, he may still take risks?"

"Of course it is possible." Zhang Shuyan nodded slightly and said, "Actually, Zhu Lingyue has not dared to move easily, but it may not be because he is really worried that the pass will send troops to conquer. Under the circumstances, even if he raised his troops to rebel, the imperial court would not have the power to conquer the northwest, before Chu Huan arrived, do you know what his confidant's serious trouble is?"

"Of course it is Xiao Huanzhang." Zhang Han immediately said: "Although Zhu Lingyue intervened in Beishan's affairs during the war, Xiao Huanzhang seemed to cooperate very well, but Xiao Huanzhang's vitality in Beishan was not damaged, and his foundation was extremely stable. Zhu Lingyue wanted to dominate the northwest Xiao Huanzhang must step over this mountain."

Zhang Shuyan smiled lightly, and said: "Of course Xiao Huanzhang is a thorn in Zhu Lingyue's eyes, but it is not Xiao Huanzhang that Zhu Lingyue really regards as a thorn in his heart, but Ganhou!"

"Marquis Gan?" Zhang Han was taken aback, "Northwest Army?"

Zhang Shuyan nodded and said, "That's right, don't forget that although the Northwest Army suffered a defeat at the hands of the Xiliang people, it doesn't mean that the Northwest Army is a bunch of wimps. On the contrary, the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army has always been beyond doubt. Yes." Paused, thoughtful, and said: "Think about it for yourself, Xiao Tianwen, the king of Xiliang Nanyuan, has been eyeing the Central Plains for many years. He has long had military power in Xiliang, and There is not a single day in Xiliang where people do not want to attack Qin from the south, but why have they endured it for so many years and dare not take action?"

"It's because of Feng Han's smile!" Zhang Han said immediately. [

Zhang Shuyan nodded first, then shook his head and said, "It's because of Feng Han's smile, but it's not because of Feng Han's smile."

Zhang Han didn't understand for a while.

"Because of Feng Hanxiao, that's because only Feng Hanxiao can restrain the Northwest Army. He can hold a hundred thousand Northwest Army into one fist, and only Feng Hanxiao can easily make this fist advance and retreat freely." Zhang Shuyan stared at Zhang Han and said. : "Feng Hanxiao has led the Northwest Army for nearly 20 years, and he knows the strengths and weaknesses of the Northwest Army well. Of the twelve major commanders of the Northwest Army, which one is not a fierce general who crawled out of the dead, only Feng Hanxiao can suppress it." Let them live, the Northwest Army has been trained under his command for nearly 20 years, do you think this army will be a bunch of useless people?"

Zhang Han sighed, and said: "The four major generals, none of them is a famous general who is not alone. Feng Hanxiao's Northwest Army guards the border. After the founding of the country, the people of Xiliang did not dare to invade. He is indeed a remarkable person."

"But the Xiliang people are afraid of Feng Hanxiao itself because of the [-] warriors under his command." Uncle Zhang said solemnly: "The soldiers of the Northwest Army are like wolves and tigers. Dare to act rashly can also show the strength of the Northwest Army. If it weren't for Feng Hanxiao's sudden death, if it wasn't for the internal division of the Northwest Army, if it wasn't for the imperial court's failure to determine the Northwest Commander in time, if it wasn't for Xiao Tianwen's seizing the best opportunity, if it wasn't for Each unit of the Northwest Army is fighting independently...!" He spoke faster, without regret on his face, and sighed: "It is impossible for the people of Xiliang to break through Yanmen Pass, and it is impossible for the Northwest Army to suffer such a defeat."

Zhang Han understood, picked up the teacup, handed it to Zhang Shuyan, and said, "What does father mean to say, is Zhu Lingyue still afraid of Ganhou's [-] Northwest Army?"

Zhang Shuyan took the teacup, took a sip, then put it down, nodded and said, "The [-] Northwest Army under Gan Hou's current command is all based on Feng Hanxiao's background. Gan Hou himself is also a brave and skilled general. Now that he is in command, and has an army of [-], do you think Zhu Lingyue is not afraid? He has not dared to take action because of the existence of the Northwest Army, plus the old "treacherous" and cunning Xiao Huanzhang. If Zhu Lingyue is not fully sure, How dare he do it easily? So while he was managing Tianshan, he used Dongfang Xin and others to control Xiguan, and then suppressed Xiao Huanzhang. If Chu Huan hadn't appeared, Xiguan would have been under his control, and Xiao Huanzhang would be unable to support himself. Sooner or later, Zhu Lingyue would clean up. At that time, he will naturally no longer be afraid of Marquis Tian."

"Then why did father say that he might make a move this time?"

Zhang Shuyan's eyes flickered, and he said: "Just because he doesn't make a move, Chu Huan may control the entire Xiguan. At that time, the Northwest will truly stand on three legs, and his ambition of Zhu Lingyue will be even more difficult to realize." He paused and lowered his voice. The voice said: "He assured us that the Northwest Army will not act rashly. In other words, he may have reached some kind of agreement with Tian Hou. As long as Tian Hou does not move, he will take the lead in destroying Chu Huan and taking Xiguan. Seeing Chu Huan sitting in the northwest is much stronger."

Zhang Han looked suddenly enlightened, and said, "If Zhu Lingyue really sends troops, what about us?"

"Of course we must obey Zhu Du's orders." Zhang Shuyan chuckled, "Don't forget, we are Zhu Du's people, and Zhu Du has orders, we should obey them."

Zhang Han laughed out loud, only to feel that his father was really far-sighted, and immediately showed doubts, and asked, "Father, it is impossible for Hezhou to send people here to report success, or It’s impossible to ask for help, so why come here?”

Zhang Shuyan had already stood up, straightened his clothes, and said: "Then we can only ask the envoy to tell us what Hu Zongmao wants to do."
