Gan Yujiao stared at Chu Huan and asked, "Do you know Zhu Lingqi?"

"Zhu Lingqi?" Chu Huan was taken aback, the name was obviously unfamiliar, but he knew something in an instant, his brows were furrowed, "The governor of Tianshan Mountain is Zhu Lingyue, could it be... that Zhu Lingqi has a relationship with Zhu Lingyue?"

"Zhu Lingyue has three brothers, and Zhu Lingqi is Zhu Lingyue's third younger brother, and now he is working in the Ministry of Officials in Tianshan." Gan Yujiao sneered, "Zhu Lingqi can't stay in the army, he can't handle political affairs, so Zhu Lingyue arranged him in Tianshan The Secretary of the Ministry of Officials is considered an idler, and usually doesn't care much about things...!"

Chu Huan said: "Miss Yujiao, you will never say that the one who wants to marry you is Zhu Lingqi?"

"This is the person." Gan Yujiao said indifferently: "Master Chu, are you still happy now?"

Chu Huan was already taken aback, but he didn't show his anger or emotion, and kept calm on his face, "Is Zhu Lingqi not married yet?"

"Zhu Lingqi is not very old." Gan Yujiao said: "He is Zhu Lingyue's youngest brother, only 25 years old this year... At this age, he should get married, but Zhu Lingqi didn't."

Chu Huan said "Oh" and asked, "Why did Zhu Lingyue think of marrying Yujiao girl? Yujiao girl, is this marriage a certainty?"

"The last time you went to the Northwest Camp, you just left. Within two days, Zhu Lingyue's people arrived." Gan Yujiao said, "I didn't pay attention at first, but they did bring some gifts, and the leader was Fei Qing , Master Chu knows?"

"Fei Qing?" Chu Huan and Zhu Lingyue couldn't tolerate each other, and they naturally understood the situation of Tianshan Mountain, "Fei Qing is the head of the Department of Taoism and Etiquette in Tianshan Mountain, Miss Yujiao, you mean Fei Qing was sent to the Northwest Camp by Zhu Lingyue?"

Gan Yujiao nodded and said: "That's right, Fei Qing is going to propose marriage to my eldest brother according to Zhu Lingyue's intention, and to facilitate Zhu Lingqi's marriage with me."

Chu Huan nodded slightly and asked, "What does General Gan mean?"

"My elder brother is very interested in this marriage. He accepted the dowry gift brought by Fei Qing...!" Gan Yujiao said solemnly, "Lord Chu, you should understand the meaning of this?"

At this moment, Chu Huan couldn't help the corners of his eyes twitching.

What he is most worried about is not the two-way attack from Beishan and Tianshan. This is what he expected, and all the coping strategies of Xiguan take Beishan and Tianshan into consideration.

What worries him the most is Marquis Gan's Northwest Army.

He couldn't figure out Ganhou's mind. He didn't know whether Ganhou would stand still or make some kind of choice when the war started. , Facing Beishan and Tianshan is already very difficult, so there is no need to allocate energy to deal with Ganhou.

Chu Huan even kept praying in her heart that even if Marquis Gan didn't give Xiguan any help, she still hoped that the Northwest Army would stand still, even if it was to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

It was precisely for this reason that Chu Huan made a special trip to Northwest Daying, hoping to reach a tacit understanding with Marquis Gan.

But the news brought by Gan Yujiao shattered the last hope in Chu Huan's heart.

Marquis Gan accepted the dowry and waited for the marriage between Zhu Lingqi and Gan Yujiao to be approved. Knowing that the three heroes in the northwest were facing each other, Marquis Gan married Zhu Lingyue. There is no doubt that this was a political marriage. , Zhu Lingyue and Ganhou are about to form an alliance.

Chu Huan knew very well that Zhu Lingyue was able to get Marquis Gan to approach him, and of course Zhu Lingyue gave Marquis Gan the benefit of being attractive enough, and Marquis Gan's preference for Zhu Lingyue was almost a fatal blow to Chu Huan.

There are four major powers in the Northwest Three Dao. In fairness, if the Xiguan Dao had the power at that time before the Xiliang people invaded east, even if the Beishan and Tianshan joined hands, the Xiguan Dao would be able to contend.

But today is different.

Xiguan Road is still the largest land area among the three northwest roads, and its population has an advantage compared to the other two roads. It is even said that the combat effectiveness of the army is stronger than that of Beishan Road.

However, the current foundation of Xiguan Road is too weak. Whether it is food, or military equipment, it cannot be compared with Beishan Road and Tianshan Road.

Now, Marquis Gan is obviously going to turn to Zhu Lingyue. That is to say, the four major forces in the Northwest, three of them, are pointing their finger at Chu Huan's Xiguan Road.

In terms of logistics, Xiguan Road is not comparable to Beishan and Tianshan, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it is not comparable to the Northwest Army and Tianshan Army. Therefore, after Ganhou turned to Zhu Lingyue, Xiguan has been attacked on several sides and is in danger.

Chu Huan felt unprecedented pressure, and his chest was even a little stuffy at this moment, as if the air had become cloudy and it was difficult to breathe.

"Master Chu, are you not happy now?" Gan Yujiao stared into Chu Huan's eyes, "If this marriage is successful, not to mention whether the Xiguan Road can still implement the order of land equalization, I'm afraid your Master Chu will die!"

Chu Huan took a deep breath, and finally asked, "Miss Yujiao, why did you come to tell me about such an important matter? This is a confidential matter, does General Gan know that you are coming?"

"He didn't know when I left." Gan Yujiao said softly, "But I think he will be able to guess my whereabouts sooner or later...!"

"Then why did the girl tell me such important news?" Chu Huan was also very puzzled. The alliance between Ganhou and Zhu Lingyue must be a very confidential matter. If Gan Yujiao was not Ganhou's younger sister, she probably wouldn't know about it. This matter, Marquis Gan made a choice. According to common sense, Gan Yujiao naturally followed her elder brother to advance and retreat together, but Gan Yujiao went all the way to Shuoquan to tell Chu Huan the news regardless of the long distance, which made Chu Huan feel a little uncomfortable. untie.

Of course he didn't think that Gan Yujiao would have a secret love for him just because he met him last time in Northwest Daying, so at a critical moment, Gan Yujiao came to report the news.

There must be a reason why Gan Yujiao came here.

"In fact, the reason is very simple. I don't hate you, but I hate Zhu Lingyue." Gan Yujiao is worthy of being a woman who came out of the army. will be better."

Chu Huan sighed, "Thank you for your praise." After a pause, he said, "But Zhu Lingyue used to be a great hero in the Northwest, and he has great prestige in the Northwest. I haven't been in the Northwest for a long time, so how can the girl be so sure that I can make you feel good?" Are the people in the Northwest better off?"

"When the Xiliang people came in, they came fiercely. I was with my elder brother, and I couldn't resist the Xiliang people's cavalry." Gan Yujiao said seriously: "At that time, General Feng was gone, and the entire Northwest Army was scattered. Just like the five fingers of a hand, the five fingers once joined together and became a fist. When Xiliang invaded, they could smash them with a fist. But after the death of General Feng, the fist became five fingers. Without a figure like General Feng, it would be difficult for the Northwest Army to become a fist again."

Chu Huan nodded slightly when he heard the words, obviously deeply agreeing with the words.

"The consequences of fighting each other is the defeat of the whole line, a mess...!" Gan Yujiao's eyes were full of regret, "How many brothers who were born and died together, died tragically under the iron hooves of the Xiliang people. At that time, everyone hoped that someone Standing up and being able to lead everyone to beat Xiliang people hard. My elder brother fought hard to win a few battles in the face of adversity, but the entire battlefield was defeated more than won, and a few victories could not change the overall situation...Master Chu, at that time You are not in the northwest, of course you did not see it, the whole battlefield is full of routs of our Northwest Army, in groups of three or four, and they have no fighting spirit...!"

Chu Huan nodded and said: "I have heard a little bit. It is said that the court was not prepared at that time. General Yu Buqu had not come to the northwest. The situation in the northwest was precarious. It was Zhu Lingyue who stepped forward and changed the crisis."

"That's true." Gan Yujiao said, "Just when the defeated army was in groups, Zhu Lingyue led the Tianshan Imperial Guards to Xiguan, and quickly regrouped the retreating Northwest Army. At that time, many people thought that Zhu Lingyue To be able to save the Northwest in a crisis, it is not that the soldiers of the Northwest Army do not want to fight the Xiliang people. When someone stands up, they are naturally willing to fight back... Many people thought that Zhu Lingyue asked us to fight, but in fact we wanted to fight. But we didn't know how to fight, Zhu Lingyue called us to regroup, we thought he was right, so we regrouped and rebuilt the defense line...!"

"and after?"

"Many people now say that Zhu Lingyue was so desperate to save the Northwest from danger and take the lead. This is all a lie." Gan Yujiao sneered, "Zhu Lingyue did formulate a strategy when the Northwest Army regrouped, but every When the Xiliang people fought, all the soldiers who rushed to the front were our Northwest Army soldiers, and the Tianshan Imperial Guards were always behind us. Even so, Zhu Lingyue's reputation at that time had already spread inside and outside the pass, and everyone said he was Great hero, before Yu Buqu arrived, the imperial court even handed over the military and political power in the Northwest to Zhu Lingyue...!"

Chu Huan didn't speak, but he could hear Gan Yujiao's disdain and disgust for Zhu Lingyue from Gan Yujiao's tone.

"Zhu Lingyue asked our Northwest Army to serve as meat shields in front. He said that he would guarantee logistical supplies for the Northwest Army, so at that time he ordered the removal of grain, grass, supplies, horses and equipment in various places in the Northwest. All supplies were deployed by him and transported to The materials in the northwest are also under his control. In fact, we all know that there are not a few materials he dispatched from the northwest and the customs at that time, and the horse farms in Xiguan were not occupied at that time. He must have a large number of them in his hands. Grain, equipment, horses, etc., but he repeatedly said that these are to ensure logistics for the Northwest Army, and our Northwest Army only sees brothers die one by one, but it is difficult to see supplies coming from behind." Gan Yujiao has already He clenched his fists, "I admit that if it wasn't for Zhu Lingyue, it would be difficult for the retreating troops of the Northwest Army to regroup to form a new line of defense. Maybe the Northwest might fall before Yu Buqun arrives, but what exactly is Zhu Lingyue thinking? How many people know?"

Chu Huan sneered and said, "Miss, you mean that at the beginning he used the Northwest Army as a shield to buy him time, while he searched for supplies behind the scenes and was greedy for supplies from the imperial court?"

"He used to be a great hero in people's mouths. I didn't want to say anything about him, but in fact, that's the case." Gan Yujiao said coldly: "In that kind of crisis, he can use our Northwest Army, regardless of our lives. It's hard to believe that when he sits in the Northwest one day, he will really concern the common people, let alone our Northwest Army."

Chu Huan sighed in his heart, Zhu Lingyue once showed the face of an angel in front of people, but in fact, he was a devil who ate people without spit out bones.
