It's night.

The 150,000-strong army stayed overnight at Yongming Pass.

The new Flying Grandmaster Wang Zhenyi held a flying banquet and feasted all the generals of the three armies.

Of course, the invitation was also sent to Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu did not attend the banquet.

Wang Zhenyi became the Marquis of Pingsha.

The little grudge between him and Wang Zhenyi in the past naturally disappeared.

It's hard to care about it if it doesn't disappear.

After all, everyone's identity is different now.

If you have to do it again, you have to take care of too much and involve too much.

But the absence of old grudges does not mean that Zhang Chu and Wang Zhenyi are friends.

Zhang Chu and Wang Zhenyi are two completely different kinds.

You can't be friends.

Neither friends.

Zhang Chu naturally didn't need to give Wang Zhenyi this face.

There is no need to "carry the sedan chair for everyone", and weaken the momentum of his own Beiping League.

......

Wang Zhenyi's flying banquet was very lively.

Half of Yongming Pass could hear the commotion and laughter at the banquet.

And in the camp of the Abyss Army, it is not deserted.

Today, the Qianyuan Army is not on duty and does not avoid alcohol.

The wine and meat that had been transported by the Aoba department in the rear became a small mountain.

The soldiers took matters into their own hands to renovate the flowing water seats, celebrate the victory, and celebrate the recovery of the four northern counties.

In Zhang Chu's camp, many generals and colonels of the Qianyuan Army gathered together, and they were also making noise with big gulps of wine and meat.

Three rounds of drinking.

A soldier hurriedly walked into the banquet and bowed his head and whispered in Zhang Chu's ear.

Zhang Chu frowned, pondered for a moment, got up and said, "Brothers, keep drinking, I'll come when I go!"

"General, just go, don't worry about me and wait!"

"The helper came back early, and the brothers are still waiting for you to continue drinking......"

Tie Hanhan, who was singled out by Zhang Chu and made his eyes begin to straighten, responded loudly with a red face.

Zhang Chu laughed and waved his hand, and walked out.

......

A listless flag.

A soldier who has lost his soul.

A dim campfire that could go out at any moment......

Everything Zhang Chu saw after stepping into the camp of the Zhenbei Army had nothing to do with the word "victory"!

It's more like a resettlement station for the rout, a shelter for the displaced soldiers.

See these.

Zhang Chu did not feel gloating.

but the sorrow in my heart is indescribable.

The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army are all good soldiers.

The battle of the Northern Xinjiang defense line and the decisive battle of the night attack of Jintianfu, the bloody spirit they fought was no worse than that of the Japanese army and the military mourning army!

In this victory, there is also their blood and their lives.

They shouldn't have accompanied the Huo family to suffer this wretchedness......

Huo's deserved it.

They are meritorious and innocent, and they do not deserve it.

Zhang Chu sighed in his heart, and slowly walked through the camp of the Zhenbei Army with a face sinking like water, and walked into the camp of the commander of the Zhenbei Army.

The camp was also deserted.

A lone lamp illuminates the square table placed in the camp.

There are a few beautifully plated side dishes on the square table, but it seems that a few chopsticks have not been moved at all, and even the shape of the plate has not been destroyed.

But the few empty wine flasks scattered on the square table prove that these small dishes have not just been put on the table.

Huo Hongye, who was dressed in casual clothes, with his hair in a messy bun and a gloomy expression, sat on the main seat of the square table facing the gate of the camp, and when he saw Zhang Chu coming in, he got up with a smile and made a "please" gesture: "Master Zhang is here, please take a seat." ”

Zhang Chu arched his hand: "The young marshal is polite." ”

He stepped forward, pulled open the seat opposite Huo Hongye, and slowly sat down.

Huo Hongye also sat down and said with a smile: "After waiting for the leader of the Zhang League for a long time, I couldn't help but drink a few pots of wine first, the leader of the Zhang League is not strange." ”

Zhang Chu shook his head slightly and didn't speak.

He could guess what Huo Hongye wanted to say when he invited him.

He shouldn't have come.

But he came anyway.

Some things have to be settled.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen each other for several years with Master Zhang, right?"

Huo Hongye was the first to speak and said hello.

Zhang Chu looked at Huo Hongye, smiled and said softly: "It's been several years. ”

Both felt long.

But in fact, since the farewell of AllBright back then, it has only been more than two years now......

It's just that these too many experiences have stretched the two years in the hearts of these two people for a very long time.

What made Zhang Chu sigh even more was that the years were pig feed, and it was Huo Hongye's changes.

Zhang Chu still remembers the first time he saw him outside Jintian County.

At that time, Huo Hongye was light, elegant and uninhibited, handsome and outstanding, and even he was amazing when he saw a man!

Today's Huo Hongye, elegance is no longer there, Zhuo Ran is not there, his face is full of smiling flesh and not smiling, he is a worldly and oily greasy middle-aged man.

Since ancient times, beauties sigh for twilight, and heroes hate to see white heads.

But Zhang Chu always felt that the once innocent young man had become an annoying greasy adult, which was equally sad......

Hello is over.

Huo Hongye changed his words and asked: "I don't know what Zhang Mengzhu thinks about Wang Zhenyi's formation of a barbarian army to suppress Xuanbei Prefecture. ”

There is no temptation to beat around the bush.

There is no sympathy for Boruto, who is not pretentious.

Zhang Chu admired his straightforwardness and crispness.

So he replied very straightforwardly: "This is the will of the imperial court, how else can I look at it as a martial artist?"

He understood the meaning of Huo Hongye's words.

The cake of Xuanbei Prefecture is so big.

In the past, it was the Zhenbei Army representing the Zhenbei Palace, the state capital representing the Imperial Court, and the Beiping League representing the Xuanbei Jianghu, and the three families shared the cake of Xuanbei Prefecture equally!

Now that Wang Zhen enters the scene, he is bound to cut a piece of this cake.

Wang Zhen took a share.

The share of the three of them is naturally less......

This is a non-negotiable conflict of interests.

You have to get bloody!

But the holy decree in the afternoon was almost naked to announce that the imperial court supported Wang Zhenyi to form a barbarian army, which was actually aimed at the Zhenbei Palace!

A little conflict of interests, just like pulling him to the Beiping League to get involved in the game between the King of Zhenbei and the Ninety-Five Emperor, it is too much to take his Zhang Chu's brain seriously, right?

Not to mention...... He Zhang Chu still wants to be the last straw that crushes Huo Qing!

Of course, Huo Hongye also knew that there was a slight conflict of interests, and it was difficult to say that Zhang Chu would enter the market.

But the big war will make it, how can he let go of any help?

"Wang Zhenyi's personality, don't let me say much, you should also understand, if you let him sit big, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for your league to be alone!"

Huo Hongye said.

It's the truth.

A clever lobbyist never threatens with lies, but makes a decision by presenting facts.

Zhang Chu also agreed with Huo Hongye's statement.

Wang Zhenyi is a character who is extremely similar to Huo Qing...... Huo Qing, the king of Zhenbei.

This person has a strong desire for control, a strong wrist, and a ruthless heart, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals!

If he sits big in Xuanbei Prefecture, he will definitely attack the Beiping League!

But Zhang Chu is not unfounded.

Although Wang Zhenyi is strong.

But he is not easy to mess with in the Beiping League!

There are far away the four Flying Grandmasters who are standing behind the Xuanbei rivers and lakes.

Liang Yuanchang, who went to Dongshengzhou to seek the opportunity to fly.

He Zhang Chu himself is also a top four grade, and after a few years of accumulation, he will be able to fly to the sky sooner or later......

Wang Zhenyi is not brainless, how could he come to fight with the Beiping Alliance?

"This is not to worry about the young marshal, I will properly handle the conflict with Wang Zhenyi. ”

Zhang Chu said lightly.

Sit down for so long.

He didn't take a sip of wine or a bite of food, and it was clear that he was going to leave without saying a few words.

When Huo Hongye heard this, he gloomily picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

After a few breaths, he suddenly sighed: "Zhang Chu, you and I have finally known each other for many years, can you help me in this game...... If I fall, the tens of thousands of brothers left in the Zhenbei Army and the hundreds of thousands of heroic souls buried in the four northern counties will really be homeless. ”

By the end, his voice trembled, and a hazy glow of water rose in his eyes.

He hurriedly lifted the flask and used the action of pouring wine to cover up his gaffe.

Zhang Chu was silent for a moment.

He couldn't tell that Huo Hongye was suddenly weak because Wang Zhenyi won the title of champion Hou and formed a barbarian army.

It's still an actor-level performance.

But he prefers to believe that it is the former......

Huo Hongye is Huo Qing's eldest grandson.

It is also the only bloodline of the Huo family.

But Zhang Chu's senses for Huo Hongye have always been very complicated.

Hate the house and the black.

He should hate Huo Hongye.

Hate can't kill after fast!

The invasion of the Northern Barbarians caused him to lose too many important people.

But he just couldn't hate it.

Because Zhang Chu has dealt with Huo Hongye a lot.

Knowing that Huo Hongye is a person, except that he is a little small-minded and likes to put up a shelf, there is nothing wrong with him.

As the saying goes, no one is perfect, who dares to say that they are flawless, everyone loves them, flowers bloom, and beer will automatically open the lid when they see it?

If it weren't for the invasion of the Northern Barbarians, Zhang Chu and Huo Hongye would really be good friends.

is also because Zhang Chu can be sure that the invasion of the Northern Barbarians actually has nothing to do with Huo Hongye.

In the chess game between the king of Zhenbei and the ninety-five honorable person.

Huo Hongye is just a chess piece.

Perhaps a more important chess piece.

But no matter how important it is, it is also a pawn.

And Huo Hongye himself has actually been trying to stabilize the situation and save the situation.

However, he was talented and failed to make a difference.

But it's not wrong to be ambitious and talented.

There is a distinction between high and low talents.

Huo Hongye sat in the position of the young marshal of the Zhenbei Army, and he didn't sit on it by virtue of some shady cheating methods, purely because his surname was Huo.

The most important thing is that Huo Hongye has indeed been fighting against the Northern Barbarians in the past few years.

And he never took the lives of the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army in exchange for victory and military exploits......

There is a wrong.

The debtor is the owner.

Zhulian is a feudal legacy.

Zhang Chu was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze, so he didn't have this kind of poison.

So he was able not to spread his hatred for Huo Qing to Huo Hongye.

You can even sit down and chat with Huo Hongye calmly.

But not settling accounts with Huo Hongye is already the limit of what Zhang Chu can do.

Want him to help Huo's?

I'm sorry, but no, to!

"There are some things that I told you about in the early years. ”

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Chu finally spoke: "How did the Northern Barbarians cross the Yongming Pass, and how did they conquer the four northern counties. ”

"You've got it in your mind. ”

"I have a number in my mind. ”

"I'm actually very selfish. ”

"There are not so many noble feelings of worrying about the country and the people. ”

"I only care about my relatives, brothers, friends, subordinates around me......"

"As long as they're okay, to be honest, I really don't care what kind of tricks your old man plays!"

"The northern barbarians entered the customs and killed many of my relatives, brothers, friends, and subordinates......"

"I also hurt a white-haired guy, and I don't want to leave a monument until I die!"

"Northern barbarians, I have slaughtered sixty or seventy thousand over the years. ”

"And their accounts, I've got a lot of them. ”

"You know who the rest of the blood debt should go to, and I know it. ”

"You're not bad. ”

"The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army are also good sons and daughters who protect their families and defend the country!"

"Looking at your face, I and my Beiping Alliance will not be involved in the fight between you and Wang Zhenyi. ”

As he spoke, he lifted the wine glass in front of him and touched the wine glass in front of Huo Hongye: "I came to see you today, all of which is the righteousness of my robes with many brothers in the Zhenbei Army in the past, and your affection for me over the years!"

"I owe you. ”

"I paid it off a long time ago. ”

"In the future, you will go to your Yangguan Road. ”

"I crossed my single-plank bridge. ”

"It's better not to see each other again. ”

"If we meet again, we may be enemies!"

After that, Zhang Chu raised his head and drank it all, but put down the wine glass and got up to leave.

Huo Hongye clenched his steel teeth and watched Zhang Chu leave without saying a word.

His body trembled slightly.

As if remembering something he didn't want to remember!
