Chapter 108 The Grand Banquet of the Governor of Yizhou (2)
.The only one in the audience was Zhang Chi, who looked relaxed, and the others were on guard.
Especially Luo An, who was already scared and panicked now. He was not worried about himself, but Zhang Chi.
If you want to start this time, Mr. Zhang only has one guard, and the guard is still a woman. How strong can he have? I guess he will definitely suffer a loss. If Mr. Zhang really died here today, how could he explain to the King of Chengdu?
Luo An didn't know the ability of Dark Blade, so it was no wonder that Dark Blade was worried. Dark Blade looked at the soldiers rushing in coldly, not caring at all. Her right hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword, and she was sure that even if she started to act, as long as the governor of Yizhou was within ten steps of her, she would definitely be sure to kill with one blow. Even if she captured him alive, it would not be too difficult.
The governor of Yizhou is a person who has seen the world, and there is no need to mention his ability to recognize people. Now he stares at Zhang Chi, but he seems to ignore it and just drink on his own. If he doesn't have some reliance, how could he still be free in this situation?
Zhang Chi has such a personality. Although he does not have a slight martial arts skill, he can be calm even before thousands of troops, let alone the small scenes in this world.
After a stalemate for a while, Zhang Chi put down his wine glass first and said, "Sir, you and I are not stupid people. You might as well stop these useless smoke."
Luo An was stunned. Before he understood the purpose of Zhang Chi's words, Zhang Chi had already said again: "If I guessed correctly, the governor did not want to kill me, but just wanted to use this to test my reality and reality. Mr. Governor, what am I saying?"
"It turns out that the young master had seen it a long time ago." The governor of Yizhou suddenly turned into a smile, and his face changed was really faster than reading a book. He waved to the soldiers and generals. Only then did the people who had just rushed in and retreated again, but in a blink of an eye, the hall became quiet again.
The governor of Yizhou then asked, "Young Master is indeed very good. I wonder how you saw it?"
What's going on? Luo An was shocked and felt inexplicably confused. Could it be that the Yizhou Governor just now had an unintentional intention? No wonder Mr. Zhang looked natural and saw the trick of the Yizhou Governor. Luo An praised in his heart. This Mr. Zhang was really not simple.
"It's not difficult to see these things." Zhang Chi smiled. "I believe that things in the world can never escape the word "profit". If the adults kill me, I really can't think of any benefits that adults can do, but if the adults cooperate with me, the benefits will be great."
"Oh? What are the benefits?" The governor of Yizhou is now very interested in Zhang Chi.
"Today in Chengdu Palace, I think the adults never speak. They neither take the initiative to fight nor surrender. I guess they are still watching." Zhang Chi said lightly: "Whether to surrender or fight is the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the one who has decided to be the
"Oh? I have a conclusion in my mind. Why don't you ask the young master to analyze it for me?" The governor of Yizhou twisted his goatee and remained silent.
"I think it's not just a simple way to welcome the students." This is obvious, but Zhang Chi changed the topic and said: "I first came to Shuzhong. I just arrived at the royal palace once. The adult invited me to have a banquet. Although the students were dull, I could guess the intention of the adult."
"What's the purpose?" asked the governor of Yizhou.
"I was in the palace in the morning. I advised the King of Chengdu to fight. Now I invite me to the banquet. Of course, there is only one intention. I want to understand my reality first, and then choose which side to stand on."
Zhang Chi said it was right, and the governor of Yizhou did have such a plan. Seeing that the governor of Yizhou was twisting his goatee, Zhang Chi said again: "Just just now, the governor asked me if I had anything to do with the Huan family in Jingzhou. If I answered yes, I'm afraid I'll send troops to fight against Hu."
"Why is this?"
"Of course I want to see how confident I can resist Hu. If I can have the support of Jingzhou's strong soldiers, what else is there to hesitate to me?"
"But you are not from the Huan family of Jingzhou after all, so I may not be willing to send troops to fight against Hu." The governor of Yizhou obviously agreed to what Zhang Chi said.
"You may as well think from the perspective of the Huan family. Although Jingzhou's strong soldiers are famous all over the world, they have never succeeded since Huan Wen's northern expedition. At most, they only rely on the river to prevent the Hu people from crossing the river." Zhang Chi analyzed: "Shu is adjacent to Jingzhou. If the Huan family is the Huan family, what do you think of facing the crisis in Shu?"
The governor of Yizhou pondered but did not answer. Zhang Chi smiled and said the answer: "How can the Huan family not know the truth about the loss of lips and teeth? If there is any mistake in Shu, the Hu people will go south by Shu. Without the natural trench of the Yangtze River, how can Jingzhou resist the enemy in the future?"
All Zhang Chi said was right, and the governor of Yizhou couldn't help but nod.
"It's not that I'm boasting about Haikou. In this situation, as long as an envoy is sent to Jingzhou to explain its powerful relationship, just a few words will be the only one thing that Huan's family will be willing to help Shu fight against Hu."
The governor of Yizhou was already moved at this time and nodded with his goatee, but he had not spoken yet. Obviously, he was still weighing the interests in his heart.
However, although the governor of Yizhou has not made a final statement, it has been enough to admire Zhang Chi so far. If he had used himself to be the governor of Yizhou, he would have been persuaded by Mr. Zhang.
The governor of Yizhou had weighed the pros and cons of a long time, but he still felt that resisting Hu was a little more beneficial to him. If the ruler surrendered, no matter whether the Hu people could still be the governor of Yizhou when they arrived in Shuzhong, even if he could still be him, at most, he could only say that he remained the same without any losses, but it was not good for him.
If the main battle is the key, the key is whether this battle can be won. If the Huan family is willing to send troops to help, the grasp will naturally be much greater. Moreover, if the Huan family sends troops to help Shu and defeat the Hu people, the Huan family's power will inevitably infiltrate into Shu. If he can take the lead in establishing a relationship with the Huan family, the future benefits will naturally be self-evident.
However, these are not the most critical ones, the most critical ones are the governor of Liangzhou.
He and the governor of Liangzhou have always been the top-level high-ranking officials in Shu. They have been fighting secretly for many years. Now the governor of Liangzhou is the main force in the war and has some connection with the Hu people. If the fight against Hu successfully this time, he will definitely be able to trample the governor of Liangzhou under his feet and make him never turn over.
Thinking of this, the governor of Yizhou had already chosen a camp in his mind, but he still had concerns.
What kind of foreigner is the governor of Yizhou? The powerful minister entrenched in Shu must consider things carefully: "The young master said it well. Since that is the case, I am willing to send 50,000 troops to help the young master fight against Hu."
He said "assisting the young master to fight against Hu", rather than saying "I am willing to send troops to fight against Hu". There is still a difference between them. However, Zhang Chi doesn't care about these things now. As long as he is willing to send troops, why bother about these details?
The governor of Yizhou pondered again and said, "It's just..."
Luo An was impatient and asked quickly: "It's just what?"
The governor of Yizhou smiled and said, "Although I send troops, my men only create momentum for the young master, but they don't fight."
Even Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment, only creating momentum, but refused to go into battle to kill the enemy. What kind of troops is this?
Luo An was also very puzzled. He was ignorant and asked, "Why is this?"
The governor of Yizhou certainly had his own considerations: "The young master said everything he said was reasonable, but he only knew one thing, not the other. There is another important reason why I refused to send troops, and I believe my young master would not know."
"Oh?" Zhang Chi asked, "What's the reason?"
"The warlords in Shu have been separatist, but they are temporarily relatively stable, but because the forces have reached a balance. The governor of Liangzhou and I have each own troops, and he cannot do anything to me, and I cannot do anything to him either. This time, the governor of Liangzhou surrenders, and he will definitely refuse to send troops. If my troops are seriously damaged when fighting against Hu, even if I defeat a strong enemy, I will find it difficult to gain a foothold in Shu in the future. Therefore, my 80,000 troops can only create momentum with you, but cannot fight."
In the face of national crisis, these powerful ministers were still fighting for power and profit, and Zhang Chi was speechless. They were all such people in high positions, so it was no wonder that the Five Barbarians were rampant and the people were living in poverty.
Luo An had no choice but to do anything: "This..."
The governor of Yizhou did not respond. It was useless to say more. Doing so was already his current bottom line. If his soldiers were really allowed to fight, it would be hard to say how many troops would be left after the Hu people were defeated. In troubled times, military power was limited, so how could a powerful minister like him give up easily?
If his troops were exhausted by the fight against Hu, Shu would be the governor of Liangzhou in the future. If this was the case, it would be better to let the Hu people fight over and burn them all.
...
After leaving the Yizhou Governor's Mansion, Zhang Chi and Luo An returned to the post station together. Zhang Chi remained silent.
Of course, he was thinking in his heart that everyone has selfish intentions in such troubled times, and they still have such intrigues in the face of national crisis. Is there any need to fight this battle, or that such a court should have perished long ago!
Even if they were to fight, they only had thousands of soldiers brought from health by Du Ximing, eight thousand elite soldiers from the hands of Qin Bo, the prefect of Ba County, and the hands of the King of Chengdu, but only tens of thousands of people were added together.
Besides, there are constraints in all aspects of Shuzhong. Can we beat the Hu people if this continues? When Zhang Chi came out of the Yizhou Governor's Mansion, he felt a little discouraged.
Luo An didn't know what to do. Seeing that Zhang Chi was thinking about his thoughts, he didn't dare to disturb him. He followed silently. Instead, he snorted coldly and said, "If such a selfish dog official was in normal times, I would have killed him with one sword."
Dark Blade followed Zhang Chi for these days, and she was not as impatient as she was at the beginning. She also knew how to weigh the pros and cons. However, she had already made up her mind that fighting Hu was the top priority now. After this incident, she would definitely take the life of the dog official.
The three of them came back to the post station with their own thoughts.
