Chu Huan couldn't help but clench his fists. The news brought by Wei Wuji shocked Chu Huan. After he arrived in the northwest, he was a little upset in dealing with the chaos in Xiguan. He really didn't expect that such a major change would happen to the east of the empire.

Although Hebei Road is named after "North", it is not in the north of the empire. It is called Hebei because it is located in the northern part of the Yellow River. Chu Huan is in the northwest and the distance to Hebei Road is not close.

"What's the situation in Hebei now?" Chu Huan asked with a frown.

Wei Wuji shook his head and sighed, "I am not optimistic. I set out from Hebei a month ago. Han Santong has mobilized officers and soldiers to suppress bandits. Although the Qingtian King is everywhere, no one knows where their main force is, and no one knows where the Qingtian King is. However, when I left, Dingzhou City was already in danger. I heard that Qingshi Hou, under the command of Qingtian King, personally led his troops to attack Dingzhou City. The officers and soldiers guarding the city were no longer interested in fighting. Han Santong's main force is in Handanzhou and cannot save Dingzhou, so the officials and gentry of Dingzhou City fled one after another...!"

Chu Huan's expression became solemn.

"I left Hebei and heard that Dingzhou City has fallen..." Wei Wuji's expression also became solemn. "Although Han Santong is brave and good at fighting, his granary has been burned. The Blue Heaven King is fierce, and Han Santong may not be able to hold on."

"It is said that the Divine Yiwei knows everything, but it seems not as powerful as the legendary one." Pei Ji sighed: "The Qingtian King lurked for two years and made a decision. The Divine Yiwei did not notice their signs in advance. He was able to launch an assassination or raid at the same time. The Qingtian King must have made careful arrangements and brewed for a long time in advance, but the Divine Yiwei knew nothing."

Wei Wuji said solemnly: "This time, the actions of the King of Blue Heaven were really thunderous, like thunderous thunder, which was really amazing. They sent assassins in advance and assassinated many officials. When people were panic, they also attacked the granary and Hyogo. The granary and several Hyogo were separated by heavy troops. They all attacked at night. Later I learned that in several places, the Qingtian King's troops attacked almost at the same time, and they launched a surprise attack when they first entered the middle school."

"That was the most sleepy time for a person." Pei Ji gently stroked his beard, thinking, "At that time, people's will was the weakest and their attention was the loosest. The King of Blue Heaven seized the most important time. He was able to mobilize several groups of people and take action at the same time. This person was really amazing to use troops."

"Brother, in your opinion, can Han Santong resist this time?" Chu Huan asked Suomei.

Pei Ji shook his head and sighed, "There are so many dangers. Just by listening to Mr. Wuji, you know that the Qingtian King is a person who is well-versed in military strategy. Han Santong is probably slightly inferior to him." After a pause, he said slowly, "Two years ago, Han Santong and Qingtian King competed with each other in Hebei. At that time, I had heard a lot about the situation in Hebei. At that time, Han Santong and Qingtian King should have the same strategy. Han Santong was Yu Buqu's beloved general. After following Yu Buqu for many years, he was guided by Yu Buqu. He was not inferior to others in military strategy. At that time, I thought that after the four generals, among the rising stars of Qin, Xuanyuan Shao and Han Santong were among the best. Qingtian King and Han Santong were not the same in strategy. The Qingtian King can be regarded as a rare genius...!"

"Brother, do you mean that two years ago, they didn't know each other's difference between Zhongbo, and now the Qingtian King is slightly better?"

"From what Mr. Wuji said, the Qingtian King must have been better than that." Pei Ji said slowly: "But how many wins are, the situation is unknown, and it is unknown...!" After thinking about it, he pondered for a moment, and then sighed softly: "In just two years, the Qingtian King's military command has made great progress. This person is really talented. It is really unfortunate that the court has such an enemy."

"This time is not as good as two years ago." Chu Huan thought, "When the Qingtian King was in trouble, there were many followers and great momentum. He occupied half of Hebei in a short time. He was much more arrogant at that time. Before Han Santong led his army to arrive, they only fought with the local state and guards and won many battles. I am afraid that the Qingtian King and his generals were all arrogant at that time."

"This is human nature." Pei Ji did not seem to be anxious because of the changes in Hebei. He smiled and said with a smile: "The Great Qin Iron Cavalry once dominated the world and was invincible, and his remaining power is still there. Most of the people under the Blue Heaven and his men were from grass-roots. Before they fought with the officers and soldiers, they might not be uneasy. They just won consecutive battles and won the battles. Only then did they realize that the Great Qin Iron Cavalry that dominated the world twenty years ago was no longer as brave as they were."

"So when Han Santong arrived in Hebei, he was probably facing a arrogant soldier." Chu Huan sighed: "The soldiers led by Han Santong were mobilized from the Twelvets Guards. The Twelvets Guards were originally elite soldiers to garrison the capital. In addition to the Royal Guards, the Twelvets Guards were the most elite army in the empire. When the Qingtian King was frustrated at the beginning, he should have underestimated Han Santong."

"Han Santong probably didn't take the Blue Heavenly King seriously at that time." Pei Ji smiled indifferently, "Otherwise, with Han Santong's ability and careful deployment, it might not be impossible to defeat the Blue Heavenly King, and the Blue Heavenly King would not have the chance to break it into pieces later."

"After fighting for more than a year, the soldiers under Han Santong were in high morale at that time. The troops of the Qingtian King suffered repeated setbacks and suffered heavy losses. In addition, the logistics could not keep up and the morale was sluggish. The soldiers under Han Santong finally broke into pieces and disappeared." Chu Huan said slowly: "But this time, it is different from the past. Han Santong's troops eliminated the remnants of the Qingtian King in Hebei. It has been two years, but there has not been much progress. Once the affairs of the Qingtian King and the Four Marquises were arrested, the soldiers under Han Santong had long lost their morale."

"Let Han Santong take charge of Hebei is actually the emperor who wants to train Han Santong." Pei Ji said: "Han Santong is a rising star. The four generals of the empire are like sunset and sunset. They always need successors. The emperor probably wanted Han Santong to make achievements in Hebei at that time, so he strongly supported and even accused Xiaolingcang of Han Santong as the military use of Han Santong. He gave him two years to suppress bandits in Hebei. The emperor valued Han Santong very much. However, if Han Santong could not reverse the situation this time, it would naturally be a shame to the emperor."

Chu Huan nodded and said, "I have been stationed in Hebei for two years. The Qingtian King disappeared. Han Santong probably thought that the Qingtian King would not be able to make a comeback. The soldiers under his command were relaxed in their guard... The Qingtian King really seized the opportunity. This time he planned and moved later. Han Santong knew very little about the Qingtian King, but this time, the Qingtian King hit the vital points. It can be seen that the Qingtian King had a very good understanding of Han Santong's troops and resource deployment. The enemy was dark and I was clear. Han Santong was really...!" He was about to sigh, and suddenly he saw the Chu Zhou family sitting aside. Three men were talking about state affairs here. A woman sat aside silently and looked very restrained. Chu Huan secretly complained and asked, "You can have any meals?"

Chu Zhou was not easy to speak, Wei Wuji was a little embarrassed and said embarrassedly: "I was in a hurry to go. After entering the city, I asked about the location of the Governor's Mansion. Before I could do it...!"

When Chu Huan saw that the couple had only taken one package, and was in a hurry and was exhausted, he immediately understood that the couple had escaped from Hebei, from Hebei to the northwest, with high mountains and long roads, and there was a lot of money on the road. He knew in his heart that it was too late to see the sky, so he ordered his servants, "Go and tell his wife, prepare dinner immediately. Well, the dishes were more abundant at night, so he said that a guest came from the pass, and quickly cleaned up a room..." He said to Wei Wuji: "Young Master Wuji has no place to live? If you don't dislike it, you might as well feel wronged in the despise mansion for the time being..."

Wei Wuji fled from Hebei with his wife. He was in a hurry at that time. He was just an aide and his monthly salary was not much. His classmates died suddenly. He was in chaos in Hebei. Wei Wuji had no choice but to take his wife away in a hurry. There was not much silver on him. Chu Huan took office in the northwest. Everyone in the officialdom knew that he had also heard that he left Hebei and wanted to come to the northwest to join Chu Huan. The money along the way almost exhausted all the meager silver accumulated, and there were many along the way.

It is already very difficult for a gangster to arrive in Shuoquan smoothly. It is already a shortage of money to reach Shuoquan City. Not to mention accommodation, even eating is a problem. At this time, when Chu Huan wanted to stay in the Governor's Mansion, he was reluctant to ask for it. His voice was a little choked and he said gratefully: "Thank you, Director Chu for taking over..." Thinking of the bumpy journey, Chu Huan did not despise him as a singular person, but instead treated him with courtesy. His heart was warm and he felt like a child died for his confidant.

"Madam Wei, go to the room first to see what you need, even if you tell the servants." Instruct the servants, "What is Mrs. Wei missing? Go and find your wife and buy it."

Wei Zhou stood up, bowed with a look of gratitude in his eyes, and followed the servant down.

After the Wei Zhou family went down, Pei Ji said: "Han Santong's granary was burned, and the court was trying hard to deal with the Southeast, and there was no time to take care of him. If Han Santong could not solve the problem of food and grass, it would probably be defeated and withdrawn from Hebei in a few months. The morale of the Qingtian King was in full swing. Han Santong's granary was seized, and morale would inevitably be sluggish, and there would be more misfortunes."

"I'm worried now that if Han Santong really loses to the Qingtian King and withdraws from Hebei, the consequences will be unimaginable." Chu Huan frowned and said, "Once Hebei falls into the hands of the Qingtian King, Luo'an Jingcheng will be attacked from the front and back. I'm afraid that the Qingtian King will be mixed with the Tianmen Dao, going south and north...!" Thinking of this, his expression became more and more serious.

"In addition, there is also salt road." Pei Ji said solemnly: "The salt field of Qin is distributed in the southeast Jianghuai and Donghai, and Fuhai Road in the east. Fuhai Road is adjacent to Hebei Road. The salt of Fuhai Road is the only way to enter Guanzhong. Hebei Road is the only way to pass. Once Hebei Road falls into the hands of the Qingtian King, the connection between Fuhai Road and Guanzhong will be cut off and the salt road will be cut to death. The Qingtian King is not a fool. In my opinion, if the Qingtian King can really defeat Han Santong and occupy Hebei Road, his next step will definitely not be aimed at Luo'an Jingcheng. His target must be Fuhai Road... Hebei Road is fertile and has fertile fields everywhere, and Fuhai Road is a place for salt production. He took Hebei and then took Fuhai. He controlled salt and grain in his hands. These two items are only enough to let him rule over the country and dominate the king!"

Wei Wuji couldn't help but ask: "The Liaodong cavalry of General Chi Liandian from Liaodong. Will the court mobilize Chi Liandian from Liaodong and go south to support Han Santong? Liaodong is not far from Hebei. If troops are transferred in time, Han Santong will last for a few months..."
