50,000 safflower tribesmen took advantage of the night to go out of Taiping Pass.

Take the route north.

Hurry up and march for half an hour.

At that time, the Honghua troops arrived at the front line, and they were only four or five miles away from the 200,000 Zhenbei Army.

The two armies smell each other.

But no one had the intention of firing the first shot.

Zhang Chu abandoned his horse and flew into the sky, wandering several times between the buffer zone in the center of the two armies, taking in the terrain in full view.

After confirming that there was no omission, he turned around and retreated, fell back to the front of the headquarters of the people, and ordered to set up camp.

Rear Taiping Pass.

The mules organized a baggage team overnight and continuously sent grain and equipment to the camp.

A series of ordnance such as bed crossbows, eight-ox crossbows, catapults, gunpowder, fire oil, etc.

The Beiping League can be regarded as saving a lot this year.

I don't dare to say much, but a 200,000-level war, fought for ten days and half a month, will not hollow out the family foundation of the Beiping League.

This is also thanks to the battle to defend Jintianfu back then, Zhang Chu had enough ammunition and food, so he could only take his life to fill the hardship.

They have been like squirrels all these years, diligently saving these family funds......

I didn't dare to take it out before.

It's just that most of these military instruments belong to contraband controlled by the imperial court.

Once the court finds it, it will be punished for the crime of treason.

Although the Beiping League is not afraid of the imperial court's investigation.

It is unlikely that the imperial court will use such a "trivial matter" to attack the Beiping League.

But as the saying goes, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

Be careful, you can't go wrong.

So far.

Even the imperial court is about to withdraw from the northwest of Yan.

These families at the bottom of the box naturally fell into the light of day......

......

Jin Ge Iron Horse, Blowing Horn Company Battalion.

Zhang Chu'an sat on top of the handsome tent, holding a full moon scimitar in his hand, and wiped the blade with a cotton cloth stained with spirits, his heart was as calm as water.

A master move.

Whoever shows cowardice first will be the first to lose a city.

Zhang Chu knew that he was still a long way from Huo Qing's rank.

But his cards are better than Huo Qing!

In this game, who will kill the deer......

Not necessarily!

So, he has no reason to be afraid!

"Report!"

Liu Gao, who was wearing a helmet and armor, shouted, rushed into the handsome tent quickly, waved his hand and said: "Alliance leader, the envoy from the Zhenbei Wangfu is here, and I ask to see you outside the camp." ”

Zhang Chu said lightly without raising his head: "Bring it in." ”

Da Liu: "Wow!"

He turned and walked out.

Zhang Chu: "Come back." ”

Da Liu hurriedly turned around and returned to the tent, waved his hand and said, "The subordinates are here." ”

Zhang Chu glanced at him and said softly: "The Red Flower Department is outside, you are the main general, at this moment, you should be patrolling the camp and checking for omissions, instead of staying outside my tent and doing the work of the herald!"

"I asked you to be the head of the Red Flower Department because I wanted you to be in charge alone, not to train a high-level herald, understand?"

Da Liu's face froze, and he said in a deep voice: "My subordinates understand that they will not let you down again!"

Zhang Chu waved his hand: "Go down!"

Da Liu: "Wow!"

Da Liu hurriedly withdrew from the tent.

Not much.

A herald, leading an old man in a cyan scribe's shirt, walked into the tent: "The lord of the alliance, the envoy of the Zhenbei Wangfu will bring it!"

The old man in Tsing Yi shook it to the end: "The old slave Yang has wealth, please ask for peace to the master of Zhang Meng." ”

Zhang Chu raised his eyes when he heard the sound, yo, he was still an acquaintance.

"It's Elder Yang, it's been a long time, please take a seat!"

"Thank you, Leader Zhang!"

Yang Youcai made another gesture and sat on the Taishi chair in a restrained manner, not daring to sit down at all, so he could only put his buttocks slightly next to the chair.

Zhang Chu casually put the full moon scimitar into the sheath, and said with a smile: "Young marshal of your mansion, can you still be healthy?"

Yang Youcai's eyes were slightly condensed, and the palm hidden in his sleeve pinched his fist to keep his face unchanged.

He forced a smile and said: "Thanks to the Hongfu of the master of the Zhang League, the young marshal of my family, everything is healthy, and before he comes, he will also order the old slave to be safe to the master of the Zhang League." ”

He didn't dare to answer the matter of the stele.

Zhang Chu smiled casually, and didn't dwell on this topic: "I'm fine, but I miss Taibai Mansion and Jintian Mansion a little...... I don't know if Yang Lao Xingxing came here in the night, what did he teach me?"

Yang Youcai hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, what kind of identity is the master of the Zhang League, the old slave is just a lowly person, how dare he get an axe in front of the master of the Zhang League, the old slave is here, just to bring a word to the master of the Zhang League for the young marshal of my family." ”

Zhang Chu bowed his head and said: "If you have anything to say, Yang Lao will say it's okay." ”

Yang Youcai: "The countries of the Western Regions have gathered millions of coalition troops, and the soldiers are pointing to Kyushu, and the 300,000 forward army has crossed the sea of hairy sand, and will set foot in the land of Kyushu in the near future.

"My Zhenbei Wangfu, I am willing to pour the strength of three generations to resist the invasion of the Western Regions, please Zhang Mengzhu to see the livelihood of tens of millions of Li people in Sanzhou, do not prevent my Zhenbei Wangfu from pacifying the flames of Sanzhou, if the three states cannot work together, it will be difficult for my Zhenbei Wangfu to resist the Western Regions Alliance!"

Western Regions Alliance?

Where did this come from?

Zhang Chu frowned suddenly, and then let go again.

In a hurry, he didn't know if it was true or not.

But really, it can't be fake.

Fake, not really.

Time will witness itself......

It was Huo Hongye's remarks.

Déjà vu......

Scold!

He is also a man.

The ghost is also him.

Really me Zhang Chu...... Brainless?

In an instant, Zhang Chu's eyes were as sharp as knives, as if he wanted to poke out one hundred and eighty transparent holes in Yang Youcai's body.

But there was still a smile on his face: "The young marshal has the heart of serving the country and the people, and Zhang has been in the scene since ...... However, before your Huo family resists the invasion of the Western Regions Alliance, shouldn't you slaughter the Northern Barbarian Mingzhi in your army?"

Yang Youcai trembled and didn't dare to say a word.

Zhang Chu stroked the short table in front of him, and his tone became more and more kind: "Please also ask Elder Yang to tell your young marshal for me." ”

"Resisting the Western Regions Alliance, your Huo family can do it, the Northern Army and the Heavenly Demon Palace can do it, and my Beiping Alliance can also do it!"

"If the young marshal refuses to slaughter the northern barbarians in the army, then please also ask the Zhenbei Wangfu to stop the army and surrender as soon as possible for the sake of the tens of millions of Li people in Sanzhou, and we will pacify the beacon fire in Sanzhou!"

"If the young marshal is unwilling to slaughter the northern barbarians in the army, Mingzhi, and refuses to surrender, then Zhang can only join forces to conquer the Northern Army and the Heavenly Demon Palace, first overturn your Zhenbei Palace, and then turn back to fight the Western Regions Alliance Army to the death!"

When Yang Youcai heard this, he suddenly stopped shaking, and said in a loud voice with anger on his face: "Can the old slave regard Zhang Meng's words as declaring war on the North Wangfu of Wuzhen!"

Daring to roar in front of him, Zhang Chu knew that this old man had a will to die.

However, he still didn't change his color, just bowed his head slightly: "If you think so, then this is the battle book of my Beiping League!"

Yang Youcai got up: "The old slave will definitely forward the words of the master of Zhang Meng to my young marshal word for word!"

Zhang Chu picked up the tea bowl, lowered his head and blew the foam on the tea soup: "Don't send it!"

Yang Youcai arched his hand, turned around and strode away.

Zhang Chu held the tea bowl and lowered his head to take a sip.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, the tea bowl exploded in the palm of his hand.

He slapped the dwarf with a furious palm, "Shaft, dare to bully me like this!"

When the guards outside the tent heard the sound, they rushed into the tent quickly, drawing their swords and looking around.

Zhang Chu shouted angrily: "Go out, retreat!"

"Whoa!"

Many guards received the order and quit the tent in a swarm.

Zhang Chu calmed down for a moment, raised his hand and snapped his fingers three times.

Not long after, a short and fat figure in a soldier's armor quietly crashed into the tent, nodded to the ground on one knee, and bowed his head to obey the order.

Zhang Chu: "Quickly send people to the Xiliang border to investigate the movement of the sand sea, and if you find traces of the sandman army, report back quickly!"

"Yui!"

The stocky figure got up, stepped out and slipped through the crack in the tent.

After a few breaths, Zhang Chu shouted again: "Someone!"

Several guards hurried into the tent when they heard the sound.

Zhang Chu's gaze wandered around several guards for a few times, hesitated for a moment, and waved his hand weakly: "Forget it, go down!"

He originally wanted to send a herald to immediately go to the Northern Army and the Heavenly Demon Palace, and invite the people in charge of the two sides to come and discuss the matter of the tripartite siege of the North Palace.

But I felt that it was too stupid to make such an important decision in anger.

The soldiers and horses of the Heavenly Demon Palace are embarrassed and useful.

The Northern Expeditionary Army was stagnant and had no will to fight.

At this time, the three families were surrounded, and they must have used the 50,000 brothers of his safflower department as the forward.

This account can't be calculated!

"Wow. ”

Several guards waved their hands and bowed out of the tent.

Zhang Chu covered his face with his hands and rubbed vigorously to calm down and think soberly.

"In terms of information channels, it is indeed possible that Zhenbei Wangfu is more well-informed than Fengyun Tower. ”

He muttered to himself in a low voice.

Huo Qing has been running Xuanbei Prefecture for decades, and he has laid countless shadows.

Even the century-old foundation of the Immortal Palace can be stolen by it.

There are some intelligence channels beyond Fengyun Building, which is also normal.

Fengyun Tower is very awesome.

It is unreasonable to swallow hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the Beiping League every year.

But Zhang Chu has never been arrogant, thinking that the Fengyun Building under his command is the No. 1 intelligence organization in Kyushu!

After all, the time for the layout of Fengyun Tower is still shorter.

In just over ten years, it is impossible for Fengyunlou to bury nails in every key place.

Therefore, it is normal for the Zhenbei Royal Mansion to obtain some information that Fengyun Tower cannot obtain.

But it's all about timing.

The Western Regions Coalition has not yet set foot in Kyushu.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Fengyunlou not to even receive a little bit of news from the wind and shadows.

At this time period, the Zhenbei Wangfu already knew that the countries of the Western Regions had formed a million-dollar coalition army and intended to invade Kyushu?

Even the vanguard army has 300,000 people, such an accurate number can be detected?

To say that this was learned by the intelligence system is also amazing!

Dali doesn't have mobile phones, telephones, telegrams, and other convenient things like neighbors, and he can know the news thousands of miles away in an instant.

The fastest way to send a message is to send a pigeon, and it takes one to two days to get the message in place within a state.

If intelligence is transmitted between two states, it will take three to four at the earliest to be delivered.

Three or four days......

The vanguard armies of the countries of the Western Regions have not yet set foot on the land of Kyushu.

Counting the distance, no matter how weak the army is, it can travel sixty or seventy miles in a day.

Other words.

The vanguard army of the countries of the Western Regions is still in the hinterland of the Sand Sea, and it is still three or four hundred miles away from Xiliangzhou.

The Zhenbei Wangfu has already discovered the traces of the vanguard army of the Western Regions, and it is clear that this army is only the vanguard, and there are millions of troops behind it......

That's awesome!

Zhang Chu's eyes gradually became gloomy, and a not-so-good thought came to his mind.

"No wonder you are at a disadvantage and dare to rebel......"

He muttered to himself, "So this is your hole card?"

......

Yang Youcai, surrounded by a team of soldiers, walked quickly into the tent.

On top of the handsome tent, Huo Hongye, who was disheveled and full of stubble, was lying on the tiger seat, and several empty wine jugs rolled off his side, and the whole handsome tent was filled with a strong smell of wine.

Seeing this, Yang Youcai sighed in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Son, the old slave is back." ”

"Oh. ”

Huo Hongye drank the wine one by one, and said casually: "What did Zhang Chu say?"

Yang Youcai took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Chuyan, if he wants to stop the army, we must first slaughter the northern barbarians in the army, Mingzhi, otherwise, he will join forces to conquer the northern army and the Heavenly Demon Palace, and start a war with the northern palace of our town!"

"Really?"

Huo Hongye chuckled lightly and said lightly: "There is growth!"

Yang Youcai hesitated for a few breaths, and finally couldn't help but say: "Son, did you already know that it was impossible for Zhang Chu to strike the army? Then why did you still inform him of the news that the Western Regions Alliance Army was about to set foot in Kyushu? This is not beneficial to me and our Zhenbei Palace!"

"Is there one?"

Huo Hongye looked confused and said: "How did I know that it was impossible for him to stop the army......

There was a pause.

He suddenly chuckled and said, "That's fine, he's always hesitating, he's afraid of wolves and tigers, how can a seven-foot man always be indecisive?"

Yang Youcai was silent for a long time, and suddenly said faintly: "Son, this leads Zhang Chu to enter, which can be contrary to the strategy set by the prince!"

"Hi ......"

Huo Hongye waved his hand indifferently, "The early end is the next game, and the late end is also the next game, do you still think that Zhang Chu can still be bought by us?"

Yang Youcai wanted to refute his statement, but he didn't know how to speak.

Of course, Zhang Chu could not be bought.

His hostility to the Zhenbei Wangfu has long been undisguised.

But he left early and late.

The difference between these is too big......

"So be it!"

Huo Hongye took a sip of wine and said lightly: "Pass my order, the three armies will sleep in harmony, cook food on the third watch tomorrow morning, and pull out the camp on the fifth watch!"

Saying this, he suddenly smiled: "If everything goes well, tomorrow morning, we will be able to pass Taiping too early!"

Yang Youcai was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Gongzi, the prince's military order, but we are ordered to garrison here, block the northern army, and after he breaks through the Heavenly Demon Palace, he will surround Taiping Pass and fight in the northwest......"

"Smack. ”

A flask, exploding under his feet.

Interrupted what he hadn't finished speaking.

Huo Hongye got up, and said with a cold gaze: "I, will, have decided!"

Yang Youcai's heart was terrified, so he could only wave his hands and say, "The old slave takes the order." ”

"Heh......"

Huo Hongye snorted sarcastically, lay back on the tiger seat again, and shouted, "Come on, get the wine!"
