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

"Zhu Lingqi?" Chu Huan was stunned, this name was obviously very unfamiliar, but he knew what he was saying in an instant, and his brows were locked, "The governor of Tianshan is Zhu Lingyue, is it ...... Does this Zhu Lingqi have a relationship with Zhu Lingyue? ”

"Zhu Lingyue has three brothers, Zhu Lingqi is Zhu Lingyue's third brother, and now he is working as an errand in the Tianshan Officials' Department." Gan Yujiao sneered: "Zhu Lingqiwen can't do anything, the army can't stay still, and he can't handle political affairs, he was arranged by Zhu Lingyue in the Tianshan Officials' Department, which is considered an idle errand, and he doesn't usually take care of things...... ”

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

"This is the man." Gan Yujiao said lightly: "Lord Chu, can you still be happy now?" ”

Chu Huan was already taken aback in his heart, but he was not overjoyed, and his face remained calm, "Isn't Zhu Lingqi married yet?" ”

"Zhu Lingqi is not very old." Gan Yujiao said: "He is Zhu Lingyue's youngest brother, and he is only twenty-five years old this year...... Originally, he should have married at this age, but Zhu Lingqi did not marry. ”

Chu Huan let out an "oh" and asked, "How could Zhu Lingyue think of marrying Miss Yujiao?" Miss Yujiao, has this family affair been settled? ”

"The last time you went to the Northwest Camp, you just walked with your front foot, and within two days, Zhu Lingyue's people arrived." Gan Yujiao said: "I didn't care about it at first, but they did bring some gifts, the leader is called Fei Qing, can Lord Chu know Lu Dao?" ”

"Fei Qing?" Chu Huan and Zhu Lingyue were intolerable, so they naturally had some understanding of the situation in Tianshan, "Fei Qing is the head of the Department of Rites and Rites of the Tianshan Mountains, Miss Yujiao, do you mean that Fei Qing was sent to the Northwest Camp by Zhu Lingyue?" ”

Gan Yujiao nodded and said, "Yes, Fei Qing went to propose marriage to my eldest brother according to Zhu Lingyue's intentions, and to promote Zhu Lingqi and my family affairs." ”

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

"My eldest brother is very interested in this family business, and he accepted the dowry ...... brought by Fei Qing!" Gan Yujiao's expression was solemn, "Lord Chu, you should understand the meaning of this, right?" ”

Chu Huan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes at this time.

What he was most worried about was not that Beishan and Tianshan were attacked, this was what he expected, and all the coping strategies of Xiguan took Beishan and Tianshan into account.

What worried him the most was Ganhou's Northwest Army.

He couldn't guess Ganhou's thoughts, and he didn't know whether Ganhou would not move his troops or make some kind of choice when the battle began, and when formulating the strategy, it was not that he didn't want to make a strategy to deal with the Northwest Army, but it was really with the strength of Xiguan, it was already very difficult to face Beishan and Tianshan, so it was needless to say that he would spare his energy to deal with Ganhou.

Chu Huan even prayed in his heart, even if Ganhou didn't give Xiguan any help, he hoped that the Northwest Army would not move, even if it was to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

It is precisely for this reason that Chu Huan deliberately went to the Northwest Daying, hoping to reach some tacit understanding with Gan Hou.

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

Ganhou accepted the dowry, just as if he had a favorable intention of Zhu Lingqi and Gan Yujiao's family affairs, knowing that the three males in the northwest of the road were facing each other, Ganhou married Zhu Lingyue, there is no doubt that this is naturally a political marriage, through this marriage, Zhu Lingyue and Ganhou are about to reach an alliance.

Chu Huan knew very well that being able to get Ganhou close to the past, Zhu Lingyue of course gave Ganhou enough attractive benefits, and Ganhou's bias towards Zhu Lingyue was almost a fatal blow to Chu Huan.

The three northwestern provinces, but there are four major potentials, according to the heart, if before the Xiliang people invaded the east, with the Xiguan Road at that time, even if Beishan and Tianshan join forces, Xiguan Road is enough to compete.

But this is no longer the case.

Xiguan Province is still the largest of the three northwestern provinces in terms of land area, and its population is also advantageous compared to the other two, and even the combat effectiveness of the army is stronger than that of Beishan Road.

However, the foundation of Xiguan Road is too weak now, whether it is grain and grass, or ordnance and equipment, it cannot be compared with Beishan Road and Tianshan Road.

Now, Gan Hou is obviously going to turn to Zhu Lingyue, that is to say, three of the four major forces in the northwest are pointing the finger at Chu Huan's Xiguan Dao.

When it comes to logistics, Xiguan Road can't compare with Beishan and Tianshan, and when it comes to combat effectiveness, it can't compare with the Northwest Army and Tianshan Army, so after Ganhou turned to Zhu Lingyue, Xiguan was already attacked from several sides and was in danger.

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

"Lord Chu, you're not happy now, are you?" Gan Yujiao stared at Chu Huan's eyes, "If this family affair is successful, don't say whether Xiguan Dao can still implement the Juntian Order, I'm afraid that your Lord Chu will also be unable to protect your life!" ”

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

"When I left, he didn't know what to say." 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 in his heart, Gan Hou and Zhu Lingyue formed an alliance, this must be a very confidential matter, if Gan Yujiao is not Gan Hou's sister, I am afraid that he will not know about this matter, Gan Hou made a choice, according to common sense, Gan Yujiao naturally followed her brother to advance and retreat, but Gan Yujiao ignored the long distance, ran all the way, and came to Shuoquan to tell Chu Huan the news, which made Chu Huan really a little puzzled.

Of course, he wouldn't think that just because he met in the Northwest Camp last time, Gan Yujiao would secretly promise him, so at the critical moment, Gan Yujiao came to report the news.

Gan Yujiao came, there must be a reason.

"Actually, the reason is very simple, I don't hate you, but I hate Zhu Lingyue very much." Gan Yujiao is worthy of being a woman from the army, "And in my opinion, if you win, whether it is the people of the Northwest or our Northwest Army, life will be better." ”

Chu Huan sighed: "Thank you girl for the compliment." After a pause, he said: "But Zhu Lingyue used to be a big hero in the northwest, and he was very prestigious in the northwest, and I haven't been in the northwest for a long time, so why can the girl conclude that I can make the people in the northwest live better?" ”

"When the Xiliang people came in, they were fierce, and I followed my eldest brother, and I couldn't resist the iron cavalry of the Xiliang people for a while." Gan Yujiao said: "At that time, General Feng was no longer there, and the entire Northwest Army was scattered, just like the five fingers of a hand, once the five fingers were closed and became a fist, the Xiliang people attacked, and they could be broken with a fist, but after General Feng died, the fist became five fingers, and without a figure like General Feng, it would be difficult for the Northwest Army to become a fist again." ”

Hearing this, Chu Huan nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with these words.

"The consequence of fighting separately is that the whole line will be defeated, and the sand will be scattered......!" There was regret in Gan Yujiao's eyes, "How many brothers who have been born and died together have died tragically under the iron hooves of the Xiliang people, at that time, everyone hoped that someone would stand up and be able to lead everyone to fight the Xiliang people, my eldest brother fought hard to win a few battles in adversity, but the whole battlefield lost more and won less, and a few victories could not change the overall situation...... Lord Chu, you were not in the northwest at that time, of course you didn't see it, the entire battlefield was full of the routs of our Northwest Army, in groups of three or five, and they all had no ...... will to fight! ”

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

"That's true." Gan Yujiao said: "Just when the army was in a rout, Zhu Lingyue led the Tianshan Janissaries to Xiguan, and quickly regathered the retreating Northwest Army...... 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 on us to regroup, we felt that he was right, so we gathered and rebuilt the defense line......! ”

"And then?"

"Now many people say that Zhu Lingyue did not care about his life to save the northwest from danger and took the lead, which is all a lie." Gan Yujiao sneered: "The Northwest Army regrouped, Zhu Lingyue did work out a strategy, but every time he fought with the Xiliang people, all the soldiers who rushed to the front were the soldiers of our Northwest Army, and the Tianshan Janissaries were always behind us, even so, Zhu Lingyue's reputation at that time had spread all over the Guanwai Guan, and everyone said that he was a great hero, and before Yu Buqu arrived, the imperial court even handed over the military and political power in the Northwest to Zhu Lingyue's hands...... ”

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 make a meat shield in front, he said that he wanted to ensure the logistics supply for the Northwest Army, so at that time he ordered to rectify the grain and grass materials and horse equipment in various places in the Northwest, all the materials were deployed by him, and the materials transported from the customs to the northwest were also in his hands, in fact, we all know very well that at that time he requisitioned from the northwest and transferred the materials from the Guannei, there were not a few, and the horse farms in the West Pass had not yet fallen, and he must have a large number of grain, grass, equipment, horses, etc. However, he repeatedly said that these were all to ensure the logistics of the Northwest Army, and we, the Northwest Army, only saw the brothers die one after another, but it was difficult to see that there were supplies from behind. Gan Yujiao had already clenched her fists, "I admit that if it weren't for Zhu Lingyue, it would be difficult for the retreating troops of the Northwest Army to regroup to form a new defensive line, and maybe if Yu Bu didn't come over, the Northwest might fall, but what did Zhu Lingyue think about, and how many people in the world knew about it?" ”

Chu Huan sneered: "The girl is saying that at the beginning, he used the Northwest Army as a shield in front to buy him time, while he was searching for supplies behind his back and greedy for supplies from the Mo Imperial Court?" ”

"He was a big hero in people's mouths, and I didn't want to say anything about him, but in fact, it was." Gan Yujiao said coldly: "In that kind of crisis, he can use our Northwest Army, regardless of our life or death, I find it hard to believe that when he sits in the Northwest one day, it will really affect the people, not to mention 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 and did not spit out bones.
