Chapter 336: Deliberation

"You hesitate, that's human nature, there's nothing to say! I don't blame you! If you really don't talk about any affection, I probably think you're too ruthless! There is nothing wrong with being affectionate and righteous, just don't be a good person! For his plea, Li Xin did not blame him and said. It hasn't been long since Zhang Oyster returned to himself, and Li Xin still doesn't feel that he has such a domineering spirit, and he can be completely convinced in a short period of time! And it is to abandon everything in the past and completely fall to yourself.

To some extent, if Zhang Hao really sent that person to him from the beginning, he might have to consider whether he should reuse him in the future.

After all, he was able to immediately abandon the old master he had been with for many years for the sake of a new master for a few months, and maybe he would betray himself for the sake of others in the future.

Zhang Oyster's practice may really be a sin in the eyes of ordinary suspicious people. But Li Xin felt that this was a manifestation of affection, this kind of person could be enveloped by affection and righteousness, and he could show his kindness and faith. It's not like some white-eyed wolves, completely unfamiliar.

After thinking about it, he finally decided to confess the matter to himself, at least to show that he was not a bad person. Otherwise, Li Xin would have to wonder if his popularity was really bad to that extent.

"Then, how should the general deal with this matter, and ask the general to show me?" Hearing this, Zhang Hao felt a lot more relieved and hurriedly asked.

"When you go back, promise him for the time being! However, you can't just say yes to him! Instead, you should think of ways to make him feel that you are very embarrassed and reluctant. That way, he'll believe you! After thinking for a while, Li Xin said.

"Yes, after the last general returns, this matter will be done!" Zhang Hao knew that he must have an idea in his heart, and he just had to follow it.

"This incident suddenly appeared, it seems that I don't have to go to other places, I have to rush back to Chang'an as soon as possible. Let's go back too! However, you go one step ahead and enter the city through the north gate. Otherwise, let Mr. Zhao know that you and I entered the city one after the other, and then agreed to him, for fear that he would suspect you! Before leaving, Li Xin specially advised.

"Yes, the Admiral understands!" Zhang Hao said, and then turned around and returned in the direction of Chang'an City.

Soon after Zhang Hao left, Li Xin also returned to Chang'an with his people. It seemed to be very normal along the way, and no one knew that Li Xin had suddenly changed his mind.

As soon as Fang returned to the Great General's Mansion, he immediately called Wang Meng, Tu Qi, Tian He and a few others and told them what had happened.

"General, if it is really as Zhang Hao said, then Zhang Ping is ready to fight to the death with us this time!" After hearing what happened, He Feng couldn't help but be surprised.

"It's not surprising that he wants to annex us. The question now is to say what he is going to do and why he is so sure. Otherwise, he would have just been defeated at our hands when he was last year, and he would definitely not have provoked us again so soon! Wang Meng pondered for a while and said slowly.

"Yes, what Jing Luo said is exactly what I thought! With Zhang Ping's strength, if you want to defeat us completely, it is simply impossible. Although Zhang Ping can't be said to have a strategy, he still has brains, and he will never be so stupid! The only explanation is that he has found other allies, and with foreign help he can help him! Hearing this, Li Xin nodded lightly.

"If it's an ally matter, my subordinates haven't gotten any information about this recently!" Regarding this possibility, Tu Qi couldn't help but say.

"Just because there's no news doesn't mean he didn't do it. Zhang Ping wants to wipe us out in one fell swoop, so this matter must be confidential, and it is not surprising that the people below don't know. Send more people, check it out well, the water is wet, the other party will inevitably leave traces in this way, and you can always find it if you look for it! Tu Qi's words made Li Xin a little unhappy, frowned, and said.

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange this matter immediately!" Seeing this, Tu Qi hurriedly responded.

"Even if there is no relevant information, it doesn't mean that we can't figure out each other's minds first! In today's world, there are only a few forces that have the strength to be our enemies. Therefore, Zhang Ping's allies are nothing more than from so many places! Wang Meng looked at the map for a while, and then said.

"The first one should be Yan Guo! When Murong Ping was last year, he suffered a lot in the land of Shangdang, and Murong was afraid that he couldn't swallow this breath. The most important thing is that the territory of Yan State borders both Shangdang and Bingzhou, and it is the closest and most powerful force to Zhang Ping, and there is no reason why he should not borrow it. Hearing this, Tian He nodded and said.

"Liangzhou Zhang Qiang, when he was last year, he also suffered a big loss in our hands, but I'm afraid that he will always want to take back the two counties of Jincheng and Xiping! That Zhang Ping should see this, and he will definitely send someone to contact, with Zhang Ping's character, he must agree! He Feng took over the conversation and pointed in the direction of Liangzhou.

"Yes, just these two lines of soldiers and horses, plus Zhang Ping's own power, are already a force that should not be underestimated. But in my opinion, Zhang Ping should still be in contact with the Hu people in the Hetao area. After all, since he was able to send people to Guzang, it was impossible for him to let go of the Hetao area that was closer to him. What's more, Hu Ren's strength is also very strong, and it is impossible for him to help himself succeed without relying on the strength of the other party! Nodding, Li Xin continued.

"If we analyze it in this way, then we will have to face the army of the four routes, and it almost encompasses our four realms. There is another one, that is, Jiang Zuo's attitude has to be considered! Whether Zhang Ping will send someone to Jiangzuo, we don't know. Whether Jiang Zuo's people will also come in and get involved is even more unpredictable. Hearing everyone's words, Wang Meng groaned for a while, and then said.

What he was worried about was actually what Li Xin and the others were worried about, but they didn't say it.

On the surface, the relationship between Hua Shanjun and Jiang Zuo, especially Huan Wen, seems to have always been good. At the very least, it is a state of non-aggression.

However, in the eyes of Li Xin and a few other high-ranking members of the Huashan Army, in fact, they have always understood that the Huashan Army is no different from other separatist forces in the eyes of the Jiangzuo Imperial Court. It's just that Jiang Zuo's power is in the hands of Huan Wen, so if Huan Wen doesn't do it, others will have no choice, and they won't come out to do much.

In the past, the Huashan Army was basically invincible, and there were few times of crisis. Coupled with Li Xin's personal friendship with Huan Wen, Jiang Zuo will not do anything to Huashan Jun.

But once Zhang Ping launches an attack, if the situation is unfavorable to the Huashan army, will those people in Jiangzuo see Hunt Xinxi and want to get a piece of the pie. Or it is for the purpose of not letting Guanzhong fall into the hands of Zhang Ping's people, so that troops are sent at the same time, which is difficult to say.

Looking at the overall situation, other forces are okay, but Jiang Zuo is the only one who did not expect it. However, the influence of the soldiers and horses along the way is still very great, and it is even possible to directly reverse the overall situation, once Jiang Zuo enters the game, the Huashan Army will really be embattled by then.

"From what I know about Huan Wen, although he is a little happy, he is not enough to stab us in the back. What's more, if they really do it, it will be tantamount to abandoning our friendship. If we're okay this time, it won't be a good thing for them. Especially, they will be afraid to push us to the side of Yan Kingdom! However, although this is the case, it is necessary to guard against it after all. Once the war begins, you still have to be prepared! After thinking for a while, Li Xin said.

He wasn't afraid of going to war with Jiang Zuo, he just didn't want to go to war now. Those people in Jiangzuo do not want to make progress, although they have the financial resources and troops, but they play a good hand of cards to a pulp. For that kind of army, the Huashan Army actually didn't pay attention to it.

"That's right, after all, you have to prepare first. As long as we are ready, no matter how many people he calls, we will resolutely fight back. Wang Meng agrees with this.

"Since we already know each other's thoughts, why don't we strike first, can't we go and fight Zhang Ping first? Destroy him before he's ready. So how can others get together against us again? Speaking of this, He Feng suddenly proposed.

I have to say that from a strategic point of view, this is indeed a good idea. But after thinking about it for a while, everyone couldn't help but object.

"No, it's almost harvest season now, and the farming season is busy! If we send troops at this time, we may be able to catch the other side by surprise, but we will harm ourselves. Once agricultural production is disrupted, the impact will be too great for us! Wang Meng's opinion is that the timing is wrong.

"In addition to time, there is also because our army has not been fully repaired after several major battles last year. In particular, the integration of the troops has not yet been fully completed, and the integration between the recruits and veterans is not enough. There are some troops, and even weapons are not fully in place! Rushing into the army is bound to be disadvantageous! "Tian He is the secretary of the military department, and he is very clear about the recent situation of the army, so he considers it from the Huashan army itself.

"The other is the war between us and Zhang Ping, if it starts rashly, it will definitely not end in a short time. After a long time, there is no point in sending troops first. At that time, Yanguo, Liangzhou and other forces will inevitably take the opportunity to send troops, and there will be no difference between Zhang Ping attacking us! We must have time to prepare the whole operation, and after planning in advance, we can respond more quickly and effectively in the future! Strive to resolve this crisis in the shortest possible time! "Li Xin has never fought unprepared battles, so he would rather start later and plan first.
