Zhang Hongsheng glanced at Meng Hai, and suddenly said: "The reason why the Hu people of Yongjiqu want to attack the Southern Wasteland Forest is precisely because Leader Meng led people to attack the Hu people's villages without permission before, which angered the many Hu tribes in Yongjiqu, which caused them to contact Yuwentai to launch an attack on the Southern Wasteland. ”

Meng Hai looked at Zhang Hongsheng expressionlessly.

"Huh?" Su Yi frowned, Zhang Hongsheng saw this, he was secretly happy in his heart, mistakenly thinking that Su Yi was dissatisfied with Meng Hai's sneak attack on the Hu people and causing the Hu tribe to counterattack, but Su Yi opened his mouth and asked: "Hongsheng, as far as I know, you hate the Hu people more than most people in the cottage?" ”

Zhang Hongsheng was taken aback, and said with an unnatural expression: "What does the lord mean by this?" ”

Su Yi said lightly: "Hongsheng, I remember that in the early days of the development of Taohuazhai, you sent Ye Buhui to inquire about the news near the Hu people's village, and then the team was surrounded and suppressed by the Hu people, and then the cottage raised a large army, leveled those Hu villages, and captured a lot of horses, do you remember this incident?" ”

Zhang Hongsheng sighed and said: "Remember, the cottage was very difficult at the beginning, and it took a lot of effort for several Hu tribes to take it. ”

Su Yi said again: "At that time, although the cottage force was not strong, you were also enthusiastic, and you knew the harmfulness of these people. ”

Zhang Hongsheng's face suddenly became solemn, he glanced at Meng Hai, his face showed embarrassment, and he said half-loudly: "It's me who is abrupt, but this time the Hu people of Yongjiqu are powerful, and they have united Yuwentai again, I'm afraid ......."

Su Yi waved his hand and said: "The Hu people of Yongji Canal are intriguing with each other, there is nothing to be afraid of, even if they unite Yuwentai, they will not pose much of a threat to the cottage, the southern barren forest is remote and the fortifications are well-built, easy to defend and difficult to attack." These Hu people don't have the heavy weapons to attack the city at all, and it is not so easy to take the Southern Wilderness Forest. ”

"Keyu Wentai ......"

Su Yi said: "Will Yuwentai give up Shangrao County and go all out to send troops to the Southern Wasteland?" No! Shangrao County is his foundation, and his source of funds depends on Hu City there, once he does his best, he is afraid that Shangrao County will be taken advantage of. Do you think he will leave his lair alone, and attack the Southern Wasteland Forest for the Hu people of other tribes to eliminate a hidden danger for them? ”

Zhang Hongsheng smiled bitterly and said, "It's that what I thought was too simple, General Meng, I offended ......"

Meng Hai said coldly: "The military advisor is serious. ”

Zhang Hongsheng showed a hint of embarrassment on his face and reluctantly smiled.

Su Yi saw it in his eyes, and sighed in his heart, people's hearts are unpredictable, although Peach Blossom Village is just a cottage. There is not even a decent city territory, but some important people in the cottage are intriguing with each other, and the officialdom is complicated, although as far as the current Taohuazhai is concerned, this is not a serious officialdom, but these capable generals under his command have begun to fight for power.

Zhang Hongsheng has a strong ethnic complex, he hates the Hu people more than most people, and at this time he actually sued Meng Hai for attacking the Hu people's village. Throwing the pot of Yongji Quhu's counterattack on Meng Hai is enough to see how jealous and hateful he is towards Meng Hai.

When necessary. Su Yi really needs someone to check and balance Meng Hai, but Zhang Hongsheng's emotional intelligence is not good, not to mention playing conspiracy and tricks, even the political wisdom is also inferior to Meng Hai and Liu Shisan, Liu Shisan can bend and stretch, although he has always been dissatisfied with Su Yi being the owner of the cottage. But he can always endure it at critical moments, and Su Yi even suspects that the reason why Zhang Hongsheng embarrasses Meng Hai everywhere is because he was provoked by Liu Shisan.

Playing scheming, Liu 13 is not Meng Hai's opponent. Even if he and Zhang Hongsheng are together, they can't compare to Meng Hai, but Liu Shisan's cleverness lies in the fact that he will not openly stand up and be an enemy of Meng Hai, he will only push Zhang Hongsheng out and use Zhang Hongsheng's hand to fight Meng Hai.

Although Zhang Hongsheng is not good at political wisdom, he is Su Yi's confidant and strategist, and he has won Su Yi's respect and trust, with Su Yi's support, plus Zhang Hongsheng's own status in the cottage, he may not have the strength to be with Meng Hai.

It's a pity that this will force Meng Hai, a rare talent, away. If Su Yi favors Zhang Hongsheng, he will not only force away and oppose Meng Hai, but also chill the hearts of other people, and then Su Yi's prestige in the cottage will definitely plummet, giving Liu Shisan opportunity.

If Su Yi does not favor Zhang Hongsheng, it will cause Zhang Hongsheng's dissatisfaction, making the two of them suspicious of each other, the king does not believe in the minister, and the minister is not loyal to the king, which is equivalent to cutting off Su Yi's arm.

Liu Shisan made a good calculation, but it was a pity that Zhang Hongsheng was blocked by someone and didn't know it.

Su Yi sighed, if Zhang Hongsheng can really restrain Meng Hai, it will also be a problem for him to have a confidant, but it is a pity that with Zhang Hongsheng's status in Taohuazhai, if he has the heart to embarrass Meng Hai, Su Yi has to favor Meng Hai in order to create a balance between the two, otherwise there is a lot of difference in status between the two, and Su Yi favors Zhang Hongsheng, I am afraid that Meng Hai will be forced to rebel.

If Zhang Hongsheng was smarter, he should not come out on his own, and let Liu Shisan or Fang Jing face Fu Menghai instead, he created a balance between the two sides behind his back, and at the same time weakened Meng Hai's influence in the cottage, which is the most effective means for a military advisor to ensure his status.

If Fang Jing or Liu Shisan sat in his position, he would only use others as guns, and would not be used by others to borrow knives to kill people.

Su Yi shook his head, fortunately, Zhang Hongsheng was loyal to him, and Su Yi also knew that Zhang Hongsheng's real ability was not in strategy, he was not a prime minister, let alone a strategist, he was only suitable to be a cool official, or to become the leader of secret agents such as Jinyiwei, to monitor the words and deeds of his subordinates for Su Yi, and at the same time to be responsible for the rewards and punishments of Shangzhai.

Su Yi stood up, patted Meng Hai on the shoulder, and said: "You don't have any psychological burden, the sneak attack on the Hu people's village is well done, these Hu people are ambitious, they will not let you go because you show weakness, on the contrary, only if he feels fear, they will be afraid of you, and they will not dare to cross the southern barren forest at will." ”

"Since they want to fight, then we will fight with them!" Su Yi smiled: "It's time to make an example of the chickens." ”

Meng Hai's eyes lit up and said, "Lord, do you mean that you are ready to attack Yongji Qu?" ”

Su Yi smiled: "Yes, since the Hu people of Yongji Canal have begun to contact Yuwentai, then we have to defeat Yongji Canal before they unite, so as to have the effect of deterring Yuwentai." Without the Hu people of Yongjiqu as the vanguard, I don't believe that Yuwentai dares to leave Shangrao County alone and raise troops to invade the Southern Wasteland. (To be continued.) )
