Sun Ning didn't answer his words, but first pushed a cup of tea in front of Guo Han, made a gesture of please, and then said: "I think in the past few years, you should also know what kind of goods Zonghenghui is, right?"

"Some ambitious businessmen, but with low masters, try in vain to control the military power of the local government in such a secret way, and it is also a shame that they dare to do such a ridiculous thing.

"And what surprised me even more was that in Liangzhou, they really almost succeeded. If it weren't for my trouble, I'm afraid that the vast majority of people would still be kept in the dark today. ”

Facing Sun Ning's divergent topic, Guo Han replied with a sneer: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have time to listen to you say this, what are your plans?" ”

"Guo Ershao is really an acute child." Sun Ning sighed, "Let me ask you first, do you really think that such a Liangzhou will have a future, and your Guo family can really use this to save yourself in the future world disputes?" ”

Guo Han opened his mouth, and after all, he couldn't say anything against his will. In fact, he himself is not optimistic about the current situation in Liangzhou, even if they see that they have expanded their territory now, they are about to take half of the Central Plains in their hands.

"You have worries and concerns, don't you?" Sun Ning immediately grasped the other party's mentality and continued, "Businessmen are just businessmen after all, and they see more interests than righteousness.

"In order to make the petty profits they valued, these merchants would stir up all kinds of troubles in Jiangnan, so as to settle the truth and attract unnecessary military disasters.

"Just like the current war, which could have been completely avoided, you could even use a more gentle method to communicate with Jiangnan, so as to obtain more food and supplies, and use this to fight the strong enemy in the north.

"But now? Jiangnan has become a strong enemy that you must deal with with all your might, and the Pingtian army in the north will really let go of such an opportunity to enter the hinterland of Liangzhou in one fell swoop? You wouldn't think the current calm would last forever, would you? ”

Guo Han was silent again, but his heart was already in turmoil.

This is exactly the big problem he has always been worried about, once there is a big war in the south, the northern defense line will inevitably shrink and empty, and how can the Pingtian Army let go of the opportunity to get it?

Sun Ning's speech quickened, and his expression became more serious: "And all this, in the final analysis, is thanks to those short-sighted merchants of the Zonghenghui!"

"It's their greed and recklessness that have led to this conflict, but you have to bear the pressure. That's it, I heard that in order to control your Guo family's dominance in the army, they even firmly held the control of the front-line military food and materials in their hands, thinking that it was a constraint.

"Is this what a true ally should do? Even between the coalition forces of the surnames in Jiangnan, it is impossible for them to beware of each other, but there has been a split within you, so do you think there is still a chance to win this battle? ”

Guo Han's face became more and more ugly, but soon, he suddenly came to his senses again, and he couldn't be led by the other party's words: "You don't have to be alarmist here!" At least for now, there has been no problem with the supply of military rations for the army in front of us. Also, in terms of strength, my Liangzhou army is also far above the coalition forces of all parties in the south of the Yangtze River, and this is not counting the large number of soldiers and horses in Lianghu and Lianghuai that we can mobilize! ”

almost let the other party deceive the past with words, in fact, the two sides facing each other across the river now still have a better chance of winning, otherwise how could the Jiangnan coalition army stay there honestly?

Sun Ning sighed and looked at Guo Chong.

The latter understood, and then spoke: "Second brother, although what you said is true, but what it really looks like on the battlefield cannot be determined by anyone."

"However, there is one thing that I can confirm now, that is, no matter whether this battle is won or lost, it will only bring disaster to my father and to our entire Guo family."

"You don't have to scare me with this kind of talk, the Zongheng Society is indeed not a good person, but they are not stupid enough to be an enemy of my Guo family, it will only bring disaster to themselves!" Guo Han said disapprovingly.

"You don't understand the current situation of our Guo family." Guo Chong sighed and said solemnly, "My previous actions of helping His Majesty the Emperor seize power in Liangzhou were enough to make them feel uneasy, and it was precisely because of this that in the past two years, they have continuously inserted their own people into the important yamen of Liangzhou despite the opposition of others.

"Isn't the purpose of them doing this just to take away the power that originally belonged to our Guo family in Liangzhou little by little? And what my father chose was to keep backing down, hoping to show them his loyalty by doing so.

"It might have been useful to do so. But the outbreak of war this time has changed things again. If my father is defeated in the south, his prestige will inevitably be greatly damaged, and the soldiers in the army who are loyal to our Guo family will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, so it will give the Zonghenghui an opportunity to take the opportunity to completely seize the military power from my father and truly control Liangzhou.

"And at that time, do you think that your father or you can still have a foothold in Liangzhou? Moreover, the excuses for getting rid of you are ready-made, and the generals of the defeated army should bear all the blame. ”

Guo Han's face changed again, but he still said in his mouth: "It's that set again!" I said, we have a better chance of winning......"

"Even if my father really wins this game, do you think they will let my father and the Guo family go?"

Guo Chong shook his head bitterly: "No, that will only make my father's situation more dangerous." In all dynasties, there are still few generals who have made high achievements and finally caused the disaster of killing?

"It was still when the world was unified, and such a monarch couldn't tolerate a military general with great achievements, let alone those short-sighted merchants who only knew that they could not see the light in the dark.

"If my guess is right, they will not allow my father to have such a victory, and the best way is to cut off the supply of food and grass at the most critical moment of this battle, when my father is about to win a great victory.

In this way, a big victory can turn into a big victory, or even a defeat. Don't think I'm alarmist, with the short time of those guys, they will definitely do such a thing, because in their eyes, self-interest is always above all else! ”

Guo Han's breathing was short, he only felt a dry mouth, and he didn't care whether the other party would do anything or not, so he immediately took the teacup and poured a sigh.

Then he stared at his brother and said in a deep voice: "So what is the purpose of what you have said so much?" What do you want me to do? ”

Hearing him ask like this, Sun Ning was sure in his heart, the other party was already moved, and the matter had become eighty!
