Chapter 603: Northwest

After receiving the flying pigeon from the capital that day, Zhanhuai went to Xi'an, Huo Roufeng thought that he would come back in ten days and a half months, but it was only three or four days, and he rushed back.

"Xiao Jiu, I left you two maidservants at our house in Xi'an." Zhanhuai said.

"Handmaiden? What handmaid can you come to tell me? Huo Roufeng was confused.

Zhanhuai touched his head and said with a smile: "It's not that Lord Liu from Xi'an, I gave me two beautiful maids, saying that my wife is not in Xi'an, and there is a lack of a warm bed by my side, I originally didn't want to accept it, but if I don't accept it, wouldn't it be even more like Xungui's son?" And, maybe there is no one around you to serve, so I will accept it for you. ”

So that's the case, Zhan Wuye came all the way back to talk about this matter.

Huo Roufeng couldn't help but smile, blinked his starry eyes and asked, "Is it really beautiful?" How is it better than inlaid emerald and inlaid bi? ”

Zhan Huai said: "I didn't look carefully, but it is said that they are all taught from a small tune (defense), I originally wanted to bring them to you, but they are new to the barracks, and they still don't let them come to the barracks, and when you go to Xi'an, you can see it." ”

Huo Roufeng couldn't hold back anymore and laughed.

Laughing enough, she said to Zhanhuai: "If you don't look beautiful, I won't follow it." ”

Zhan hugged her and kissed her, and said softly: "Xiao Jiu, I will inevitably behave in the dark in the next few days, I came back this time to tell you in advance, I know you believe me, but I still want to tell you." ”

Huo Roufeng stroked Zhanhuai's handsome face with his hand, and smiled: "Hu Tianhe? Will you? Do you want the Ninth Master to teach you? ”

The Duke of Min is extremely strict with his sons, although Zhanhuai is a young son, more relaxed than his elder brothers, but he was also thrown into the military camp when he was a teenager.

He was a little embarrassed: "I also want to take you to Xi'an, where can I use Hu Tiandi, I just need to accompany you around, those people will temporarily relax their vigilance against me, but at this time, it is inconvenient for you to leave." ”

Huo Roufeng said with a smile: "It's like you can't leave me, I don't bother to care about you, at most it's just a month or two, let those people in the Forbidden City have a good fight, lest there be any trouble on our side at this time, and they will have the same enemy." ”

This is also something they planned in advance.

Soon, however, things changed.

Xie Honglin suddenly sent someone to the barracks and sent a letter to Huo Roufeng.

The letter was written by Xie Honglin, in which she told Huo Roufeng that Yan Niang had sent her to the horse farm.

Huo Roufeng was taken aback, and continued to read, it turned out that Qiqi did not come empty-handed, she also brought a news, Jiahai's 200,000 troops were stationed about three hundred miles away from the border, even if it was a Han Chazi, he would not suspect it for a while, but Yan Niang, who had been in Tatar for many years, felt that this matter was strange.

First, there was a tribe that repeatedly provoked, and if it had been before, Jiahai would have given them a cruel blow, but this time he only sent a small army to counterattack twice; Second, in the past year, Jiahai has rarely sent troops, but has gone against the norm and began to encircle other tribes.

Since the last trip to Xi'an, Ah Sang returned to Jiahai, Yan Niang quietly bought the maid of one of Jiahai's wives, and learned that there was a Han man with Jiahai surnamed Xie.

In addition, Yan Niang also drew a sketch to mark the place where the Jiahai army was encamped.

This time, Yan Niang sent her daughter over, most of the reason was that Qi Qige was clamoring to come, Yan Niang had no choice but to let her serve as the messenger this time.

Huo Roufeng showed the letter to Zhanhuai, and Zhanhuai smiled after reading it: "Xiao Jiu, do you say that Jiahai also wants to take advantage of this time to get a piece of the pie?" ”

After Zhan Huai finished speaking, he found that Huo Roufeng's face was frosty, he hurriedly held her hand and said: "Jiahai is a steppe wolf, even if you didn't stimulate him last time in Xi'an, he has long been salivating for the Central Plains, and it is only a matter of time before he wants to attack the Central Plains." ”

He thought that Huo Roufeng was regretting what happened in Xi'an last time.

Huo Roufeng shook his head: "No, I have no regrets, if I am allowed to see Jiahai's envoy again, even if it is Jiahai himself, I will still do that." ”

Until now, thinking of the fire that Jiahai burned outside Xi'an, Huo Roufeng would not regret his actions that day.

She said: "I thought it was strange at first, that Jiahai burned all the things he bought in Xi'an Mansion that day, which shows his determination and ambition. Therefore, I think that Jiahai will not take action in a few years, because although he is a brave man, the Tatar tribes are constantly fighting, and the first thing Jiahai needs to do now is to unify the steppe. But when I heard that he had stationed 200,000 troops 300 miles from the border and could send troops at any time, I couldn't believe it. ”

"But when I saw the back, when Yan Niang found out that there was one more person next to Jiahai, I understood everything."

"No wonder we couldn't find him, I thought he followed the remnants of King Rong's defeated army to the Western Regions, but it turned out that he was in Tartar."

"Xiao Zhan, does Xie Sicheng really want to get this piece of country? What does this matter to him? He really thinks he is the Xie family. Or is it not he who really wants all this, but his adoptive father, the mysterious King Shun? ”

Zhanhuai thought about it, but still shook his head: "I don't know what it is for, but there is one thing that is very clear." ”

He paused and continued: "Xie Sicheng wants to lead the Tartars into the customs!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhanhuai said loudly to the door: "Ah You, notify me, the camp is on the agenda!" “

After speaking, he looked at Huo Roufeng and said softly, "Xiao Jiu, you also participate." ”

Huo Roufeng nodded, asked Zhu Cui to help her change into light armor, and followed Zhanhuai to the camp tent.

All afternoon, they spent the whole afternoon in their tents analyzing several possibilities for the Tartars to enter the customs. Now Wu Tang, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, just took office last year, and Zhanhuai has never met him, only knowing that this person is the nephew of the Marquis of Jining, and the current Jin Wuwei commander Fang Qi is a cousin.

Zhanhuai pointed to Xuanfu on the map and said: "Judging from the current position of the garrison in Jiahai, it is unlikely that he will choose to enter the Yulin area, so the possibility of Xuanfu is the greatest." ”

Xuanfu is one of the nine sides, although there is also a garrison, but at most it is 20,000 or 30,000 people, and these 20,000 or 30,000 people will definitely not be able to hinder the 200,000 army in Jiahai.

The more Huo Roufeng listened, the more anxious he became, Xie Sicheng's trick was used very well, knowing that at this time, Zhanhuai was too busy to take care of himself, and he would not send troops to Xuanfu like last time, and the twenty or thirty thousand people who only relied on Xuanfu, even if they resisted stubbornly, they could only be blocked for a day and a half, and the army in Jiahai could finally come in from Xuanfu.
