"Chu ...... Chu Du ......! After a while, Xiao Heng sighed and came back to his senses, but then his face immediately showed nervousness, dropped the long sword in his hand, listened to the doors and windows, and made sure that the doors and windows were closed very tightly, only to turn around, only to find that Chu Huan had already sat down on a chair, and even crossed Erlang's legs.

Xiao Heng walked over, sat down on the chair next to Chu Huan, and said with a wry smile: "Chu Du, you are really unpredictable, I have seen countless people, but I have never seen a bold person like you, the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, now that the war between Beishan and Xiguan is imminent, do you dare to appear here?" ”

"Xiao Gongzi thinks this is a dangerous wall?" Chu Huan said with a smile: "I don't think that the governor is not safe in Xiao Gongzi's mansion?" ”

"Here, of course, it's going to be safe." Xiao Heng said helplessly: "But out of this mansion, I don't dare to guarantee it outside." The body leaned over slightly, "Chu Du, they all said that you were in Shuoquan, why did you appear here like a spell?" ”

Chu Huan smiled and said, "This governor said that he misses Xiao Gongzi, so he came to see him." ”

"Chu Du don't want to make fun of it." Xiao Heng obviously hadn't completely recovered from the shock, and sighed: "Chu Du came alone, and he was brave and mighty, of course it wasn't just to see me. ”

"Xiao Gongzi, I received your secret letter." Chu Huan didn't continue to sell Guanzi, and said directly: "But I can't understand it!" ”

Xiao Heng was stunned.

"You said that as soon as Xiao Jingqian dies, Xiao Huanzhang will inevitably send someone to Shuoquan to join me in Xiguan to jointly crusade against Zhu Lingyue." Chu Huan stared at Xiao Heng, "But now that the border of Beishan Chen Bing is going to use troops against my Xiguan, I have read your secret letter a few times, and I really don't understand, so I came here to ask for advice in person." ”

Xiao Heng thought for a while, and then said: "Chu Du, Zhu Lingyue is located in Suzhou and Shazhou, Suzhou has many mountains, the terrain is dangerous, and there are many checkpoints. ”

"Oh?"

"So Xiao Huanzhang's plan is to deliberately make people think that he is counting Xiao Jingqian's death on Chu Du's head, and then send troops to feint to attack Xiguan." Xiao Heng explained: "Zhu Lingyue saw that Beishan and Xiguan had a dispute, he must not be able to sit still, he is ambitious, he wants to annex the entire northwest, to be a veritable king of the northwest, such a great opportunity, of course he will not let go, he will inevitably send troops from the west road to attack Xiguan, as long as he Tianshan soldiers come out, the Beishan army will take advantage of the situation to attack Tianshan, take his lair, and then attack in two ways, Zhu Lingyue will be defeated." ”

"Brilliant plan, brilliant plan." Chu Huan said with a smile: "Are you saying that Xiao Huanzhang's attack on Xiguan was not a real attack, but just a feint attack on Xiguan and luring out Zhu Lingyue's Tianshan army?" ”

"Exactly." Xiao Heng saw Chu Huan with a smile on his face, and immediately felt that the atmosphere was much more relaxed, "Chu Du, Xiao Huanzhang's strategy is indeed very ingenious, no matter how smart Zhu Lingyue is, it is impossible to think that this is us acting." ”

"If that's the case, it's a big deal." Chu Huan sighed: "I'm afraid that this governor is really doing a fake show." ”

"Is it really a fake show?" Xiao Heng was stunned, shook his head and said: "Probably not, Xiao Huanzhang has determined that Xiao Jingqian died in the hands of Zhu Lingyue, he now hates Zhu Lingyue, he has the hatred of killing his son, and he can't wait to eat Zhu Lingyue's flesh and skin, how can he let go of Zhu Lingyue and not fight, but want to have a duel with Chu Du?" ”

Chu Huan smiled: "That's what I said, but ...... If Xiao Huanzhang didn't think that Xiao Jingqian was killed by Zhu Lingyue, but wanted to count Xiao Jingqian's death on my head, then it would not be surprising that he sent troops to Xiguan. ”

Xiao Heng's body was shocked, and he frowned: "This ...... That's impossible! ”

"Impossible?" Chu Huan said lightly: "You are the roundworm in Xiao Huanzhang's belly, if he really thinks something, you will know what he wants?" ”

"Chu Du, you...... Do you want to say that Xiao Huanzhang did not count Xiao Jingqian's death on Zhu Lingyue's head at all? Xiao Heng frowned, "This is impossible, there are not many people who know the strategy of leading troops out of the customs, he carefully formulated it, if he really wants to fight Xiguan, why should he formulate this plan?" ”

"Just to deceive people." Chu Huan said: "Maybe it's just to confuse you, Xiao Gongzi doesn't know." ”

Xiao Heng's face turned slightly pale, but after thinking for a moment, he still shook his head and said with confidence: "Chu Du, I'm afraid that you are thinking too much, and I can observe that Xiao Huanzhang is indeed using a trick." ”

Chu Huan nodded and said: "I also hope so, if I really use this plan to lure out Zhu Lingyue, I Xiguan will naturally try my best to cooperate, even if I lose Jiazhou to the Beishan Army, it will be nothing." ”

Xiao Heng showed joy, "What Chu Du said is true? Leaning forward, "Chu Du doesn't know, in fact, you came too coincidentally, originally I was going to leave for Shuoquan to meet Chu Du early tomorrow morning." ”

"Oh?"

"Xiao Huanzhang was only afraid that the two armies of you and me would really fight, so he sent me to Shuoquan to explain it to Chu Huan." Xiao Heng said: "Xiao Huanzhang said that once the strategy is successful and Zhu Lingyue is leveled, then when the time comes, he and Chu Du will each lead one state in the two states of Tianshan. ”

Chu Huan touched his chin and said with a faint smile: "This is the world of the imperial court, Xiao Huanzhang divided the Tianshan Mountains like this?" ”

"Chu Du, it's time like this, we still don't have to say those high-sounding words." Xiao Heng sighed: "It is impossible for the Qin State to restore its former glory, and the world has fallen apart, although now there are only bandits and people making trouble, but there are a few officials in various provinces and states who are not ready to move, it is nothing more than that no one dares to make a bird." The order of the imperial court, Mo said that it is in the northwest, but I am afraid that it is already difficult to implement it in the pass, this northwest is already dominant, Zhu Lingyue is ambitious, Xiao Huanzhang is secretly witty, is it possible that Chu Du is still now, and there is really the so-called Great Qin Empire in his heart? ”

Chu Huan smiled indifferently and didn't say much.

"In addition to dividing the Tianshan Mountains equally, there is another way, that is, the two states of the Tianshan Mountains, all of which belong to Xiao Huanzhang, but Xiao Huanzhang will cede a large area of land north of Qingzhou, occupy more than half of the territory of Qingzhou, and all of it belongs to Chu Du. Xiao Heng looked at Chu Huan, but he didn't see the slightest hint of excitement on Chu Huan's face, and couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Chu Du doesn't think this is a good idea?" ”

Chu Huan smiled and said: "It's also very fair, if it's really like this, I can't ask for it." He asked lightly: "Of course Xiao Huanzhang won't be so generous, how does he need me Xiguan to cooperate with him?" ”

"Actually, it's not difficult for Chu Du to do." Xiao Heng saw that Chu Huan's tone seemed to be relaxed, and hurriedly said: "As long as Xuanyuan Shengcai's soldiers and horses retreat to Qingtang City first, after we attack the Liangzi River, Governor Chu orders the Xiguan army to feign defeat and withdraw to Jiazhou City, so that great things can be accomplished." ”

"Let the Xiguan army retreat to Qingtang first, and then feign defeat to Jiazhou City?" Chu Huan smiled and said: "This sounds like it is very easy to cooperate, from Liangzihe to Qingtang County, but twenty miles, Qingtang County to Jiazhou City, less than a hundred miles ......!" ”

Xiao Heng smiled: "Exactly." ”

"Xiao Heng, don't you think that this condition sounds like a normal thing, but when you think about it, it's terrifying." Chu Huan sighed: "Young Master Xiao, even if you don't know the method of marching, but since Xiao Huanzhang put forward such a condition, you should also ask him why he wants to do this?" ”

Xiao Heng was stunned and said, "Chu Du, this ...... Is there anything in between? Xiao Huanzhang doesn't need Chu Du to give up Jiazhou City, he only needs a Qingtang City and a small county town to let Zhu Lingyue enter the trap, isn't it ......! ”

Without waiting for Xiao Heng to finish speaking, Chu Huan had already said lightly: "If I really want to agree, I'm afraid that it will be me who falls into the trap." ”

"What do you mean by Chu Du's words?"

"You have been to Xiguan, you should know that the road, from Liangzi River to Qingtang County, although there are only more than 20 miles, but the road is rugged, the hills are undulating, the terrain is extremely uneven, not to mention the horses, even the people are not so smooth." Chu Huan got up and walked to the table in the middle of the house, on which there was a teapot and a tea set, Chu Huan sat down, took the teacup and put it on the table, "This is Qingtang County, the terrain from Qingtang County to Liangzi River, you can take a look, these twenty miles of land, not only are there many hills, but also many woods, and there are many ambushes." He took the big teapot and placed it not far from the teacup, "This is Jiazhou City, less than a hundred miles away from Qingtang City, to be more specific, it should only be eighty or ninety miles, and you can arrive in one day, from Qingtang City to Jiazhou City, what kind of terrain is it, do you remember?" ”

Xiao Heng thought for a while before he said, "It seems to be ...... It seems to be all the way to ......! ”

"Not bad." Chu Huan sighed: "The terrain south of Qingtang County is completely different from that north of Qingtang, south of Qingtang to Liangzi River, with undulating hills and bushes, while north of Qingtang City to Jiazhou City, the terrain is flat and flat. Xiao Gongzi, do you know what the original Qingtang County of Ludao was? ”

Xiao Heng was a little embarrassed, he had never had any interest in geography, and smiled reluctantly: "Please also ask Governor Chu for advice." ”

"This governor tells you that Qingtang County was originally a fortress, and when it was first built, it was because it took a fancy to the bad terrain in the south, so it deliberately built a fortress there to block the threat from the south." Chu Huan said slowly: "Later, people migrated over one after another, and they were repeatedly added and repaired, which is why today's Qingtang County is born. ”

Xiao Heng frowned slightly, as if he understood something, but he couldn't fully understand it for a while.

Chu Huan said lightly: "The Xiguan army withdrew from Qingtang, and if the frontier fortress was handed over to Xiao Huanzhang, the terrain that could be used south of Liangzihe and Qingtang would be completely useless. This is not the most important, Xiao Huanzhang proposed to let the two armies pretend to fight in Qingtang City, and then pretend to be invincible, and the Xiguan army pretended to be defeated and fully retreated to Jiazhou City, have you ever thought that this is a big trap, if Xiao Huanzhang hides sinister intentions, I am afraid that the feint defeat of my Xiguan army will become a real rout! ”
