Chu Huan couldn't help but clench his fists, the news brought by Wei Wuji made Chu Huan's heart shocked, after he came to the northwest, he was a little upset to deal with the chaos in Xiguan, he really couldn't imagine that in the east of the empire, such a major change would happen.

Although Hebei Province is named after "North", it is not in the north of the empire, but because it is in the north of the Yellow River, it is called Hebei, and Chu Huan is in the northwest, and the distance from Hebei Province is really not close.

"Then what is the situation in Hebei now?" Chu Huan frowned and asked.

Wei Wuji shook his head and sighed: "It's not optimistic, I set off from Hebei a month ago, Han Santong has mobilized officers and soldiers to suppress bandits, although the people of the Qingtian King are everywhere, but now no one knows where their main force is, and no one knows where the Qingtian King is, but when I left, Dingzhou City was already in danger, I heard that it was the Qingshi Hou under the command of the Qingtian King who personally led the troops to attack Dingzhou City, and the officers and soldiers defending the city had no intention of fighting, Han Santong's main force was in Handzhou, and Dingzhou could not be saved, so the officials and gentry of Dingzhou City fled one after another……！ ”

Chu Huan's expression became solemn.

"I left the territory of Hebei, and I heard that Dingzhou City has fallen ......!" Wei Wuji's expression also became solemn, "Although Han Santong is brave and good at fighting, his granary has been burned, and the Qingtian King is fierce, so Han Santong may not be able to hold on." ”

"It is said that the god Yiwei knows everything, and it doesn't seem to be as powerful as the legend." Pei Ji sighed: "The Qingtian King has been lurking for two years, planning and moving, the Divine Guards did not notice their signs in advance, and they were able to launch assassinations and raids at the same time, the Qingtian King must have made careful arrangements, and it had been brewing for a long time in advance, but the Divine Guards knew nothing." ”

Wei Wuji said solemnly: "This time the actions of the Qingtian King are really vigorous and resolute, like a thunderbolt, which is really amazing. They sent assassins in advance, assassinated many officials, and when the people were panicking, they attacked the granary and the arsenal at the same time, and the granary and several branches of the arsenal were divided into several places, all of which were heavily guarded, and they all attacked at night, and I later learned that in several places, several groups of men and horses of the Blue Heavenly King attacked almost at the same time, and they all launched a surprise attack when they first entered the son. ”

"That's when people are most sleepy." Pei Ji stroked his beard and thought thoughtfully, "At that time, people's will was the weakest, and their attention was also the most loose, King Qingtian seized the most critical time, he was able to mobilize several people and horses, and at the same time attacked, this person used soldiers, it was really amazing." ”

"Big brother, in your opinion, will Han Santong be able to withstand this time?" Chu Huan asked with a frown.

Pei Ji shook his head and sighed: "There are many auspicious and auspicious ones, just listening to what Wuji Gongzi said, I know that this Qingtian King is a person who knows the art of war, and Han Santong is probably slightly inferior to him." After a pause, he said slowly: "Two years ago, Han Santong and Qingtianwang competed in Hebei, at that time I had heard a lot about the situation in Hebei, at that time Han Santong and Qingtianwang's strategy should be comparable, Han Santong is Yu Buqu's love general, follow Yu Buqu for many years, more under Yu Buqu's guidance, in the art of war, not lost to others, at that time I thought, after the four generals, the rising star of Qin, Xuanyuan Shao and Han Santong are its leaders, Qingtianwang and Han Santong are equal in strategy, That Qingtian King can also be regarded as a rare genius ......! ”

"Big brother is saying that two years ago, the two of them were indistinguishable, and now the Qingtian King has a slight advantage?"

"Only from what Wuji Gongzi said, the Qingtian King must be superior." Pei Ji said slowly: "But how much will be won, the situation is unknown, and it is not yet known ......!" After pondering, he pondered for a moment before he sighed softly: "In just two years, the talent of the Qingtian King's army commander has greatly improved, this person is really talented, and it is really unfortunate that the imperial court has such an enemy." ”

"This time it's not like two years ago." Chu Huan thoughtfully, "When the Qingtian King got up, there were many followers, and the momentum was huge, occupying half of Hebei in a short time, and it was a lot more arrogant at that time, before Han Santong led the army to arrive, they just fought with the local state army and the Weisuo army, and won many battles, but I was afraid that the Qingtian King and the generals under his command were arrogant at that time." ”

"It's human nature." Pei Ji didn't seem to be anxious because of the changes in Hebei, and said with a smile: "The Great Qin Iron Cavalry once dominated the world, invincible, and the remnants of Wei are still there, most of the people under the Qingtian King and his subordinates are born in a reckless manner, and before the battle with the officers and soldiers, they may not have no apprehension in their hearts, but they have won consecutive battles, and they know that the Great Qin Iron Cavalry, which dominated the world twenty years ago, is no longer as brave as it used to be." ”

"So when Han Santong arrived in Hebei, he was probably facing an arrogant soldier." Chu Huan sighed: "The soldiers led by Han Santong were transferred from the Twelve Tun Guards, the Twelve Tun Guards were originally the elite soldiers of the garrison of Gyeonggi, except for the Royal Guards, the Twelve Tun Guards were the most elite legions in the empire, and the Qingtian King was frustrated at the beginning, so he should have underestimated Han Santong." ”

"Han Santong probably didn't take the Qingtian King in his eyes at that time." Pei Ji smiled indifferently, "Otherwise, with Han Santong's ability and careful deployment, he may not be able to defeat the Qingtian King, and the Qingtian King will not have a chance to break into zero later." ”

"After fighting for more than a year, the morale of the soldiers under Han Santong was at that time, and the men and horses of the Qingtian King were frustrated again and again, with heavy losses, coupled with the logistics could not keep up, the morale was low, and the Qingtian King was finally forced to be helpless, and the whole was broken into pieces and disappeared." Chu Huan said slowly: "But this time, it is not what it used to be, Han Santong's men and horses have exterminated the remnants of the Qingtian King in Hebei, it has been two years, but there has not been much progress, as soon as the Qingtian King and the Four Marquis Affairs were captured, the soldiers under Han Santong have long lost their original morale." ”

"Let Han Santong sit in Hebei, in fact, the emperor wants to experience Han Santong." Pei Ji said: "Han Santong is a rising star, the four generals of the empire are like the sunset, there is always a need for successors, the emperor was afraid that he wanted Han Santong to make contributions in Hebei, so he strongly supported, and even acquiesced to Xiaolingcang as Han Santong's military, giving him two years to suppress bandits in Hebei, and the emperor was very important to Han Santong." However, if Han Santong can't reverse the situation this time, it will naturally be the emperor's hope. ”

Chu Huan bowed his head and said: "After being stationed in Hebei for two years, the Qingtian King disappeared, Han Santong was afraid that he thought that the Qingtian King could not make a comeback, and the soldiers under his command were lax in their vigilance...... Qingtian King really seized the opportunity, this time he planned to move, Han Santong knew very little about Qingtian King, but this time Qingtian King was hit by several people, it can be seen that Qingtian Wang's side, on the contrary, Han Santong's strength and resource deployment are very well understood, the enemy is dark and I am clear, Han Santong is really ......! He really wanted to sigh, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Chu Zhou's family sitting on the side, three men were talking about state affairs here, and a woman was sitting silently on the side, looking very restrained, Chu Huan secretly screamed ashamed, and asked, "Have you ever eaten?" ”

Chu Zhou's family was not easy to speak, Wei Wuji was a little embarrassed, and said: "I'm in a hurry, after entering the city, I will inquire about the location of the governor's palace, and I haven't had time to ...... yet!" ”

Chu Huan saw that the couple only took one package, and they were in a hurry, and they suddenly understood that the couple fled from Hebei, which came from Hebei to the northwest, the mountains were high and the road was far away, and there were a lot of entanglements on the road, and he understood that it was already late when he saw that it was already dark, and instructed his subordinates, "Go and tell Madame, prepare dinner immediately, well, the dishes in the evening are more sumptuous, just say that there are guests coming from the pass, and hurry up to clean up a room......!" Xiang Wei Wuji said: "Wuji Gongzi doesn't have a place to live yet, right?" If you don't dislike it, it's better to temporarily be wronged in the ...... mansion! ”

Wei Wuji fled from Hebei with his wife this time, he was in a hurry, he was just a staff member, his monthly salary was not much, his classmates died, Hebei was in chaos, Wei Wuji had no choice but to take his wife and left in a hurry, the silver on his body was really not much, Chu Huan went to the northwest, the officialdom knew it, he also heard that out of Hebei, he had the heart to come to the northwest to join Chu Huan, the entanglement along the way, almost exhausted the meager silver accumulated on the way, there were many bandits and robbers along the way, and it was not easy to reach Shuoquan smoothly, When he arrived in Shuoquan City, he was already shy, not to mention accommodation, even eating was a problem, at this time, he heard that Chu Huan wanted to live temporarily in the Governor's Mansion, it was unbelievable, his voice was a little choked, and he said gratefully: "Thank you Chu Governor for sheltering ......!" Thinking of the bumpy road, Chu Huan did not dislike him with his own identity, but treated each other with courtesy, his heart was warm, and he felt that he was dying as a confidant.

"Mrs. Wei, you go to the room first to take a look at what you need, just tell the subordinates." Instructed the servant, "Mrs. Wei is missing something, go to Mrs. and add to it." ”

Wei Zhou got up, bowed, his eyes were full of gratitude, and followed the servant down.

After Wei Zhou's family went down, Pei Ji said: "Han Santong's granary was burned, the imperial court is trying its best to deal with the southeast, and there is no time to take care of him, if Han Santong can't solve the grain and grass problem, I'm afraid it won't take a few months, and he will be defeated and withdraw from Hebei." The morale of the Qingtian King is in full swing, and Han Santong's granary and arsenal have been seized, and the morale will inevitably be low, and there will be more than one luck. ”

"I'm worried now, if Han Santong really loses to the Qingtian King and withdraws from Hebei, the consequences will be really unimaginable." Chu Huan frowned and said: "Once Hebei falls into the hands of the Qingtian King, Luo'an Capital will be attacked from the front and back, I am afraid that the Qingtian King will be mixed with Tianmen Dao, all the way south, all the way north ......!" Thinking of this, his expression became more and more solemn.

"On top of that, there's the salt road." Pei Ji said solemnly: "The salt fields of the Qin State are distributed in the Jianghuai and Donghai provinces in the southeast, as well as the Fuhai Road in the east, Fuhai Road is adjacent to Hebei Province, and the salt of Fuhai Road must enter the pass, Hebei Road is the only way, once Hebei Road falls into the hands of the Qingtian King, it will also cut off the connection between Fuhai Road and Guan, and cut the salt road to death, and the Qingtian King is not a fool, in my opinion, if the Qingtian King can really defeat Han Santong and occupy Hebei Dao, his next step must not be to Luo'an Capital City, his goal must be Fuhai Dao...... Hebei Province has fertile land, fertile land everywhere, and Fuhai Road is a salt-producing land, take Hebei, and then take Fuhai, he controls salt and grain, only these two, according to the current situation in the world, is enough for him to divide one side, and claim the king and hegemony! ”

Wei Wuji couldn't help asking: "There is the Liaodong Iron Cavalry of General Chiliandian in Liaodong, will the imperial court transfer Chiliandian from Liaodong and go south to support Han Santong?" Liaodong is not far from Hebei, if the troops are transferred in time, Han Santong will last for a few months......! ”

Before he finished speaking, Pei Ji had already shook his head and said: "Categorically not, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry of Chilian Dian, guarding Liaodong Road, the reason is to prevent the Goryeo people, the Goryeo people have always been untrustworthy, although now it is said that it is a brotherly state with the Qin State, but once there is a civil strife in the Qin State, the Goryeo people will inevitably think about it, Chilian Electric sits in Liaodong, garrisons the northeast border, the Goryeo people are afraid of Chilian Dian, and dare not act rashly, but once Chilian Electric is mobilized to the south to support Han Santong, the Goryeo people have a seventy percent chance of invading Liaodong ......!" Staring at Chu Huan, he said slowly: "Second brother, this Great Qin's world, I am only afraid of ...... It's really going to be a mess! ”
