The procession headed east.

Zhang Chu, Zhao Mingyang, Zhong Ziqi, and Brother Second Shengtian rode a tall horse, walking in the middle of the greeting team, and were still discussing the matter of Situ Ji leading people to surround the greeting team and forcing Zhang Chu to show up.

"According to common sense, it must be unwise for Situ Ji to force the second child to show up in this way!"

Second Shengtian pondered and said: "There are flying masters in the world who can cultivate to the second grade, one is counted as one, which one is a coward who can be bullied by the general trend?"

"If it's me, even if it's me waiting for the second child to deliver it to the door by himself at the fourth sister's house, it's better than blocking it halfway, isn't this forcing the second child to rebel?"

Zhao Mingyang nodded: "It's not quite right, it is said that with Situ Ji's realm and status, he will either not take over this matter, since he has taken over, he will naturally do it beautifully, but this matter, he has done it in a hurry......"

Zhang Chu felt that what the two brothers said was very reasonable.

You can't be presumptuous.

But don't be arrogant.

With Situ Ji's realm and status, if you really just want to force him to show up, there are many safe ways.

Even if he was to force him to accept the imperial decree, it was not something that was absolutely impossible.

But Situ Ji just chose such a thankless and stupid method, and he did it so aggressively.

Since this is not in line with his realm of being a first-class grand master, nor is it in line with his transcendent status as a court master!

If this is Situ Ji's ability to do things, then it is too underestimated......

"I have an opinion, the two brothers see if this is the reason. ”

Zhang Chu thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I think that Situ Ji forced me to show up, not really for the holy decree, his real purpose is actually to demonstrate to me!"

"Demonstrations?"

The second Shengtian groaned slightly, and suddenly smiled: "This statement is fresh, you can talk about it carefully." ”

Zhao Mingyang and Zhong Ziqi also listened attentively with interest.

Everyone has their own strengths.

Analyzing the current situation, it is obviously not what the two of them look like.

"All our inferences are based on the premise that the imperial court is weak, afraid of our Beiping League, and urgently needs to win the support of our Beiping League. ”

Zhang Chu said while thinking about it: "But if the imperial court is actually not as weak as we see, then Situ Ji's attitude can be understood as toughness, demonstration, and even warning!"

"After Huo Qing's rebellion? Although the imperial court has been defeated in successive battles and has frequent faint moves, I always feel that the court has lost so much of the haste and panic of igniting the fire? It's like... It's like...... Like all of it? It's all under the control of the imperial court!"

"Just this recent 'King Qin's Order'? There is also a little bit of decay in the waning West Mountain. ”

"What do you think?"

Zhang Chu looked at them in the second victory day.

"Not without reason!"

The second Shengtian also looked thoughtful: "But I always feel that the second child, you still take your own weight too lightly?" Plus you Xuanbei Prefecture? The imperial court has lost the land of the two states, and in terms of the current situation in Yanbei Prefecture, I think it is also hanging? The Land of Three States? Plus the million-strong coalition army of the Western Regions that is about to arrive in Kyushu...... The weight of the 200,000 soldiers and horses under your command? It should be much heavier than you think!"

Paused? He whispered meaningfully, "As far as I know? Restless lately? It's not just the countries of the Western Regions......"

Zhao Mingyang also nodded: "I think the sixth is right, Huo Qing gathered 200,000 troops to rebel before, and the imperial court has invested more than 300,000 troops to defeat it, and now there are 400,000 rebels in Xiliang Prefecture, and the 300,000 troops in Yanbei Prefecture?" Can you beat it?"

Hear such a straightforward addition and subtraction? Zhang Chu couldn't help but smile? said: "The eighth? Fighting a war is not settling accounts, and there are many factors that the imperial court failed to fight the Zhenbei Wangfu before? Of course, the discord between the generals and commanders within the imperial army and the weak combat effectiveness of the army also accounted for a large part of the factors. ”

"But it's just one time and another. ”

"Now the 300,000 imperial court soldiers and horses in Yanbei Prefecture are commanded by Lu Wanxiang, the governor of the East, as far as I know, Lu Wanxiang is also a famous general in the world, and in terms of commanding the army to fight, it should not be too weak than Huo Qing!"

"And although Huo Qing voted for the sandman, at best, he could command the 100,000 remnants he brought over, and it was impossible for the sandman to hand over the command of their 300,000 vanguard army to Huo Qing. ”

"In the final analysis, you have to fight to know the strength and weakness. ”

"Until the day when the dust settles, no one can say that the imperial court will definitely not work!"

Zhao Mingyang, Second Shengtian, and Zhong Ziqi quietly listened to his analysis of the form.

In the end, Zhao Mingyang and the second Shengtian looked at him with a little strange eyes.

"Are you optimistic about the imperial court?"

Second Katsuten asked.

Zhang Chu hesitated slightly, and sighed lightly: "You can't be optimistic about the sandman......, right?

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Second Shengtian interrupted him: "You know what I mean!"

Zhang Chu smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "The sixth brother has lifted me...... Speaking of which, I have so many soldiers and horses under my command, are there any rumors in the alliance?"

He didn't ask what the big leagues thought of him.

The big league is in charge of their brothers, as long as Zhao Mingyang and the second victory day have no opinion on him, others have to hold back even if they have opinions!

But there are no opinions from above, but they can't stop the criticism of the people below.

On the occasion of these troubled times, the Beiping League gathered 200,000 troops, which is indeed very unpopular!

The key is that he Zhang Chu still holds the position of deputy leader of the Grand Alliance......

Zhang Chu looked at Zhao Mingyang.

Zhao Mingyang looked at the second victory sky with a blank face.

Second Shengtian noticed the gaze of the two, sighed tiredly, and said: "This is the reason why I said that you are arrogant, the news that you took over the 150,000 Zhenbei Army, after it was transmitted to Zhongyuanzhou and Nanerzhou, I didn't hear the rumors or anything, but there were a few archdeacons who asked me openly and secretly to support a batch of grain and blades from your Beiping League...... So, this question is not just what I want to know about the second victory!"

After the martial arts conference of the eighth day of the lunar month, Zhang Chu returned to Xuanbei Prefecture and sat in Taipingguan.

Zhao Mingyang and the second victory day stayed at the main altar of the Ferris Peak Grand Alliance and continued to improve the organizational structure of the Grand Alliance.

But although Zhao Mingyang has the title of the leader of the Grand Alliance, he doesn't care about anything.

The affairs of the major leagues are in fact dominated by the second victory day!

Of course.

Zhang Chu's return to Xuanbei Prefecture is also tantamount to provoking the girder of the rivers and lakes in the three states in the northwest of Yan.

It's just that the main theme of the three prefectures in the northwest of Yan is war now, and the grievances and hatreds of more than 100 people fighting on the rivers and lakes are covered by the flames of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, just like a small wave in the tsunami, inconspicuous!

When Zhang Chu heard this, he also sighed tiredly.

Everyone in the world is good for immortals, and they can't forget their fame.

What rivers and lakes.

It's all laymen......

"Let them die of this heart!"

Zhang Chu said resolutely: "Even if I am starved to death or frozen to death in the Beiping League, even if I go out to beg for food, I don't want them a grain or a thread!"

Second Shengtian looked at him, smiled meaningfully, and said: "Young man, don't say it too absolutely, it's yourself who will be embarrassed when the time comes!"

Zhang Chu was unmoved.

After the welcoming team moved forward for a while, Zhang Meng, the leader of the team, rode a horse to report: "Alliance leader, the front is to the Aoki Villa of the Nangong family." ”

Zhang Chu raised his head and glanced at the sky, it was almost the middle of the day, and he immediately nodded and said, "According to the plan, let's continue to set off after spending the afternoon at Nangong's house!"

"Whoa!"

Zhang Meng received the order and turned the horse's head to give orders.

Beiping League went to Xiahou's house to welcome his relatives, and he went back and forth, a journey of nearly six days.

Every stop along the way, every night's stay, has been arranged in advance.

In Xuanbei Prefecture, the Beiping League informed the Jianghu sects and families along the way to receive them.

In Yanbei Prefecture, the Xiahou family informed the Jianghu sects and families along the way to receive them.

This is not some kind of bullying and domineering.

This is an excellent opportunity to get closer to the Beiping League and the Xiahou family, and show off their connections and strength!

To put it bluntly, in the northwest of Yan, if you can get in touch with the Beiping League and the Xiahou family, and spread the word, who else dares to go to the door and spread the wilderness?

The strength is not enough.

The relationship with the Beiping League and the Xiahou family was not in place.

I just want to receive the welcoming team of the Beiping League, but there is no way!

The team of greeting relatives continued to move forward, and it didn't take long for an elegant mountain villa with green mountains and green water at its back, white walls and green tiles, eaves and arches, and ancient meanings to break into the vision of Zhang Chu and others.

But strangely, outside the compound, there was no one waiting......

Before he got close to the mountain villa, Zhong Ziqi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke: "There is a smell of blood." ”

Zhao Mingyang, Second Shengtian, and Zhang Chu heard this, and they all pulled the horse.

At this moment, a horse rushed from the front of the team, with a frightened face and a breathless report: "Alliance, alliance leader, out, something happened, all the people in the villa are dead, and there is no one alive!"
