Chapter 172: You can only win, not lose

Ling Sein, Han Zeng waited for conclusive news.

Zhang Anshi, the general of the chariot cavalry, had already taken up his division, and in addition to leaving some defensive forces in important places such as Duyan and Weili in Qiuzi, as well as Luntai, the main force had begun to retreat from the Western Regions one after another.

The first cavalry had even withdrawn into the territory of Loulan.

This made Han Zeng finally let go of the stone in his heart, and at the same time changed his opinion of Zhang Anshi.

What he feared the most was that Zhang Anshi, as in history, was dizzy, and desperately led the army to continue the march in the winter blizzard.

Then, Han Zeng had to intervene in this matter and bring the Han army back to Hexi.

Fortunately, Zhang Anshi has not been forced to a dead end now.

And following this news, there was also an acquaintance who arrived in Lingju together - Zhang Anshi's deputy general and absolute confidant Chang Hui.

Chang Hui's intention, Han Zeng didn't need to see him to understand.

Nothing more than to come to trade.

The content of the deal is also obvious - it should probably be related to Zhang Anshi's current predicament.

Left and right are nothing more than trying to use Han Zeng's influence, and even use Han Zeng's strength to get through the difficulties they face.

To be reasonable, Han Zeng also thought carefully about forming an alliance with Zhang Anshi.

Obviously, if you can take this opportunity to form an alliance with Zhang Anshi, the benefits are undoubted!

First of all, Han Zeng will get off to a good start.

At least he can save several years of business time, and he can smoothly take over Hexi and take over the entire affairs of the war against the Xiongnu.

Zhang Anshi has been running the military government for more than 30 years, and his forces are intertwined, and he has a large number of first-hand information about the Xiongnu.

These materials contain countless information on the geography, hydrology, and humanities of the Western Regions, as well as the roads, mountains, and rivers of Mobei, which he urgently needs.

These things are undoubtedly very valuable.

It takes time and effort to collect.

Secondly, once the Han-Zhang alliance is reached, then at least in the next few years, Han Zeng no longer needs to worry about someone in the court pulling his back.

It's just that......

Is it worth it?

Can it be done?

Han Zeng has been thinking about these two questions, so he has not gone to see Chang Hui for some reason.

After thinking about it for almost three days, Han Zeng finally had some determination.

But it's still not firm enough.

After all, Zhang Anshi's heel this time is really a bit big.

The sin of losing a teacher can almost make him have no room to turn over.

Even if you try your best, at most you will only get a chance to make ends meet.

You must know that it is not only his past enemies who are eyeing Zhang Anshi now.

The current Zhang Anshi Group is like a wounded and bleeding whale in the ocean.

Around it, there are people who want to eat his flesh and drink his blood, I don't know how many.

After all, Zhang Anshi Group is related to the positions of hundreds of 2,000 stones, more than 1,000 stones, hundreds of Guannei marquis, feudal monarchs, and more than a dozen liehous.

As soon as it falls, the seats will be vacated. Cutting off people's financial paths, such as killing their parents and making a career out of their careers, is digging people's ancestral graves!

Han Zeng knew very well that if he did.

It is likely that almost immediately, he will attract a large number of secret enemies.

This world is so strange that it is like two countries fighting a war in the future, and a third country intervenes forcefully to stop the war.

But it's usually not the third country that is respected, he usually gets only hatred!

Now it is also average, Han Zeng knows very well that if he intervenes in this matter, he will pull Zhang An Shi along.

It is very likely that he will only get a false and cheap favor from Zhang Anshi's side, but it is very likely to make those guys who are waiting to eat the carrion of Zhang Anshi's group hate him to the bone.

In general, the gains outweigh the losses.

What's more troublesome is that this matter is still full of taboos and taboos.

After all, Zhang Anshi did more than just underestimate the enemy.

The intelligence that has been shown shows that Zhang Anshi, for the sake of military merits, first violated the edict of the Son of Heaven, which made Fan Mingyou and his captain Huqiang resentful.

Next, in order to lure the Huns into the set, it indirectly led to the fall of Luntai.

In the end, he committed major crimes such as exaltation, disobedience to the Son of Heaven, and even house arrest!

If you want to wash the floor, the space is very small, and if you are not careful, you will be misunderstood by the Son of Heaven.

That's not a good thing!

An alliance of two political giants?

When the Son of Heaven in Chang'an sleeps, can he sleep soundly?

At the beginning, the general Wei Qing and the hussar general Huo Quai, they didn't dare to do this kind of thing.

In the middle of the development of the Weihuo Group, there was already more struggle than cooperation.

and even development

to-for-tat, once you are dead or alive.

This is not only a conflict of interests, but also a consideration of justice.

However, even with so many taboos and difficulties.

Han Zeng still found that it seemed that pulling Zhang Anshi would make more profits.

It's not like everyone else.

Others, need to carefully manage their connections, maintain relationships, do everything possible to maintain a good reputation, reduce enemies as much as possible, and increase allies.

"The Sword Comes"

But Han Zeng has now reached the point where he urgently needs a group of enemies.

Otherwise, if he continued to develop, Han Zeng felt that he was likely to be jealous of the imperial power.

Back then, even Zhan Hou Xiao He needed to defile himself.

What's more, it's Han Zeng?

In other words, in fact, just to attract revenge and make enemies, he should also go to pull Zhang An Shi along.

The second is to pull Zhang Anshi to stabilize the situation and avoid political turmoil.

You must know that once the Zhang Anshi Group collapses suddenly, the collapse of this super power that has been in power for more than ten years will inevitably trigger a chain reaction.

Back then, the downfall of Emperor Xiaowu's sons, the fall of Gongsun He's father and son, and the suicide of Prince Wei, caused turmoil, which has not completely stopped until now!

Wastes like Gongsun He's father and son can have such a great influence, if Zhang Anshi Group suddenly collapses, I am afraid that the storm on the altar will blow for several years.

Maybe it will also lead to a huge fight - just like the turmoil after the fall of the Zhang Anshi group in history.

Han Zengke didn't want such a situation at all!

In contrast, he would rather Zhang Anshi and his group continue to stay on this stage.

Again, the same reason - a strange friend is deadlier than a familiar enemy!

At the very least, the goals of the AndPeria Group are controllable and visible.

This is Shoji.

There is no right or wrong, only interests.

There are no principles, only gains and losses.

However, if you think about it, Han Zeng is still jealous, cautious and cautious.

Before he was sure, he chose to remain silent.

Moreover, Han Zeng is the confidant of the Son of Heaven, the Zhang family is kind to His Majesty today, and Mrs. Zhang and His Majesty are also childhood sweethearts, second only to the queen.

Zhang Anshi's passage this time is certain.

However, this was His Majesty's first foreign war after he ascended the throne, and he could only win but not lose.

Thinking of this, Han Zeng immediately sent someone to send a letter to Zhang Anshi, handing over His Majesty's opinion to Zhang Anshi.
