"Alliance with Xu Chang?" Chu Huan was taken aback, then pondered for a moment, then he understood, and said, "Mister, are you worried that there will be changes in Jinling?"

Ximen Yi said: "Xu Chang has a bad reputation for killing the master and standing on his own, but his strength cannot be underestimated. Now Qin is in chaos, and there are so many forces, large and small, that we are about to discuss Xu Chang's strength. It’s also one of the top ones.”

"Just now, this king was talking about Xu Chang with his eldest brother, and he was still worried that if Xu Chang was allowed to grow, he might become our confidant in the future." Chu Huan sighed.

Ximen Yi said: "Xu Chang is sitting in the Jinling Warehouse and has a navy in his hands. With such strength, I am afraid that he has been targeted by others."

"Sir, do you mean that there will be other forces secretly forming an alliance with Xu Chang?" Pei Ji said solemnly, "If that's the case, things will be difficult."

"Qingtianwang of Hebei, Chiliandian of Liaodong, Dingwu of Hexi, and even Tianmen Dao are all in their own right now, and the war is raging. In this situation, private alliances are indispensable." Ximen Yi said: " If there is no accident, the Hexi side will definitely contact Xu Chang secretly, so as to attack the king from two sides. The king's continuous victories have shocked the world. If Hexi was only on guard against the king before, then the king has already won the two states of Tongliang , has formed a great threat to Hexi, and Hexi will definitely conquer the king at all costs."

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 be empty, and Liaodong will have an opportunity to take advantage of it, so Dingwu will never make such a bad move." Ximen Yi said seriously: "Hexi wants to Guarding against Liaodong and dealing with the king at the same time, with their current strength, it is impossible to fight on two fronts, so it is expected to seek alliances with other forces."

Pei Ji said: "Whether it is Qingtian King or Tianmen Dao, it is impossible for Hexi to join them. 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 nodded slightly, and Ximen Yi said: "Although Xu Chang killed the master to stand on his own feet, he did not openly raise his flag against Qin. This gave Hexi an opportunity to form an alliance with them. If Hexi really gave Xu Chang enough temptation, Xu Chang Chang may not turn around and join forces with the Qin army to attack the king, if things really develop like that, the situation will be in jeopardy."

Chu Huan had to admit that the Northwest Army could handle the Jinling Army or even the Qin Army alone, but if they were caught in a pinch between two groups of troops, it would be a disaster.

"It seems that we really want to send people to Jinling." Chu Huan pondered for a while, and finally said: "We are worried that Xu Chang will join hands with Hexi to attack our army, so why is Xu Chang not worried that we will keep an eye on the Jinling warehouse? Although he has many soldiers and horses, most of them are newly recruited new troops, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with ours...!"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Jinling to form an alliance with Xu Chang on behalf of Your Majesty." Ximen Yi volunteered in surprise: "As long as the two parties reach an agreement, we will have nothing to worry about. Xu Chang can attack south, and we can too." Concentrate on moving north."

"You?" Chu Huan was taken aback.

Ximen Yi smiled strangely: "Could it be that Your Majesty thinks that Ximen is not a suitable candidate?"

Chu Huan waved his hands and smiled, "Sir, I misunderstood. It's just that I'm going to Jinling, good or bad. We don't know Xu Chang, just in case...!"

"Your Majesty, although the alliance with Xu Chang is based on what each needs, it is not easy to convince Xu Chang." Ximen Yi said: "If Xu Chang cannot be convinced that we are sincerely forming an alliance with them, even if we agree on the surface Even a covenant is still a waste of paper." Leisurely said with a smile: "Ximen asked himself, there is still a way to make Xu Chang believe in our sincerity."

Chu Huan pondered for a while, and finally said: "Since you are so sure, sir, I will let you go to form an alliance with Xu Chang according to your intention, but...!" Smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: " But I would like to take this opportunity to go to Jinling with my husband."

Both Ximen Yi and Pei Ji were taken aback, and Pei Ji had already said, "Your Majesty, the situation in Jinling is unknown, if you go there in person, I'm afraid...!"

Chu Huan had already raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, brother, it's precisely because we don't know the situation in Jinling that I want to go to find out in person. Regardless of whether we have reached an alliance with Xu Chang this time, we cannot avoid a war with Jinling." Avoidance, it will happen sooner or later, the so-called knowing yourself and the enemy will never end in a hundred battles, before the autumn harvest, our army will naturally not be able to use troops anymore, Qiao Mingtang is newly defeated, and it is impossible to invade Tongzhou in a short while, taking this opportunity, I will go to Jinling personally to do it Know yourself and the enemy, and prepare early for the future.”

Pei Ji frowned and said, "If you want to know more about Jinling, you can send more spies there."

"Beyond that, I have other plans." Chu Huan said in a low voice, "If we can't reach a covenant with Xu Chang, then during this trip to Jinling, we can contact the other two anti-kings in private. Huo, but the strength is not as good as Xu Chang, under such circumstances, if the Northwest Army takes the initiative to approach them and join hands with them to deal with Xu Chang, what do you think they will think?"

Pei Ji raised his brows and said with a smile, "If that's the case, their morale will definitely be boosted. In order to protect themselves, they will definitely cooperate with the Northwest Army to deal with Xu Chang."

"Brother came back to Tongzhou and happened to be sitting here." Chu Huan said: "I can disguise myself as Mr. Ximen's entourage and accompany him to Jinling. If there is an accident on the way, it is enough to ensure Mr.'s safety."

Since the Battle of Tiangong, Chu Huan has been taught by Luo Duo, and he has improved a lot in martial arts. Luo Duo taught Chu Huan the method of using the Great Treasure Sword. With Chu Huan's current cultivation, unless he meets Luo Duo who is as close A perverted martial artist can be said to travel the world without hindrance.

Today, Chu Huan's cultivation in martial arts is a realm that Chu Huan dared not even imagine. In the past, he only thought that this kind of martial arts beyond human limits could only exist in legends, but now, he Not only has he witnessed the superb martial arts of those top masters, but under the guidance of Luo Duo, he is now walking on the road to the top of the martial arts.

He made an appointment with Luo Duo in the northwest, but there was no news of Luo Duo since then, and he was worried from time to time, but thinking of Luo Duo's superb martial arts, he thought that Luo Duo was delayed because of other things, although he didn't know Luo Duo's whereabouts , but it was easy for Luo Duo to find him, and he only hoped that Luo Duo would come sooner.

This trip to Jinling, Chu Huan had a plan in mind, but he didn't tell Pei Ji and the others.

What Ximen Yi said was not wrong. Once Dingwu really disregarded the fact that Xu Chang became king and formed an alliance with Xu Chang, then the Northwest Army would have little hope of winning under the attack of the two armies. The only option is to retreat to the northwest and retreat to protect yourself. If this is the case, everything will return to the past. The Northwest will be cut off from the customs and will fall into a difficult situation. The previous efforts and costs of the Northwest Army will also be in vain. .

Moreover, Chu Huan knew very well that once Ding Wudang really wanted to form an alliance with Xu Chang, the conditions offered must be very attractive. He didn't know Xu Chang well, so he couldn't be sure whether Xu Chang would accept the alliance with Hexi, but there was only a thin line of possibility. The Northwest Army will be in trouble, and this is what Chu Huan Vision does not want to see.

This trip to Jinling, Chu Huan certainly hoped to achieve the goal of a temporary alliance with Xu Chang as much as possible, but if the goal was not achieved, Chu Huan would naturally never allow Jinling and Hexi to reach a smooth alliance.

He had already calculated in his heart that when it was really a last resort, he could only look for an opportunity to assassinate Xu Chang.

Although Xu Chang was guarded by elite soldiers, Chu Huan was confident that with his current martial arts, he would look for an opportunity to assassinate Xu Chang, and it was not impossible.

Once Xu Chang died, even if his subordinates would not disintegrate, they would inevitably fall into civil strife for Xu Chang's succession. After Jinling fell into civil strife, Chu Huan would never hesitate to swallow the Jinling warehouse once he had the opportunity.

Seeing Chu Huan's expression, Pei Ji knew that Chu Huan had made up his mind. He also knew that Chu Huan's martial arts were extraordinary. More persuasion, but you must be careful.”

Chu Huan nodded slightly, and then said to Ximen Yi: "Sir, make a little preparation. Tomorrow, the king will entrust the matter at hand to the general, and we will leave for Jinling the day after tomorrow." Turning to Pei Ji, he said: "Brother, although Qiao Mingtang Defeated, but Yunshan is still in his hands, and I just got a report that Hexi has sent a cavalry to reinforce Xishan, and they are stationed near Yunshan Fucheng. I heard that this cavalry is mainly barbarians, fierce and good at fighting, Brother needs to pay attention to their movements."

"Don't worry, I have my own sense of propriety." Pei Ji nodded and said, "Xu Chang was under Yuan Buyi's command before. Deep, Your Majesty must be careful."

Chu Huan nodded with a smile, Ximen Yi took his leave first, and then Pei Ji asked with a smile: "Second brother, I have heard about the phenomenon of the sky, is it true or not?"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "If you can hide it from everyone in the world, how can you hide it from elder brother? If elder brother doesn't ask, I will tell him in detail."

"Oh?" Pei Ji said: "I heard what they said. I heard that the second sage appeared and left a decree. I was puzzled. How did the second brother do this?"

"It's just a hot air balloon." Chu Huan said with a smile, "Have a few drinks tonight, brother and I, and I'll tell you in detail...!" Before he finished speaking, he heard a report from outside: " Report to King Chu, King Qi has arrived outside the mansion...!"

The smiles on the faces of Chu Huan and Pei Ji disappeared in an instant.
