Gan Yujiao stared at Chu Huan and asked, "Do you know Zhu Lingqi?"

"Zhu Lingqi?" Chu Huan was stunned. The name was obviously very strange, but he knew something in an instant, and his eyebrows were locked, "The Governor of Tianshan is Zhu Lingyue. Could it be... Zhu Lingqi has a connection with Zhu Lingyue?"

"Zhu Lingyue has three brothers. Zhu Lingqi is Zhu Lingyue's third brother. He is now serving in the Tianshan Ministry of Personnel." Gan Yujiao sneered: "Zhu Lingqi's military service will not be successful, the army will not be able to stay in the army, and they will not be able to handle political affairs. Zhu Lingyue arranged it to be in the Tianshan Ministry of Personnel Service. He is a free agent and doesn't care much about things in normal times...!"

Chu Huan said: "Miss Yujiao, you never say that the one who wants to get married to you is Zhu Lingqi?"

"That's this person." Gan Yujiao said lightly: "Mr. Chu, can you still be happy now?"

Chu Huan was already shocked, but he was not as happy and angry as he remained calm on his face, "Is Zhu Lingqi not married yet?"

"Zhu Lingqi is not old." Gan Yujiao said: "He is Zhu Lingyue's youngest brother, and he is only twenty-five years old this year... He should have been married at this age, but Zhu Lingqi did not."

Chu Huan said "Oh" and asked, "How could Zhu Lingyue think of marrying Miss Yujiao? Miss Yujiao, is this marriage a foregone conclusion?"

"The last time you went to the Northwest Camp, you just left. After two days, Zhu Lingyue's people arrived." Gan Yujiao said: "I didn't care at first, but they brought some gifts. The leader was Fei Qing. Does Lord Chu know?"

"Fei Qing?" Chu Huan and Zhu Lingyue were incompatible, so they naturally had some understanding of the situation in Tianshan. "Fei Qing is the head of the Ministry of Rites in Tianshan, Miss Yujiao, are you saying that Fei Qing was sent to the Northwest Camp by Zhu Lingyue?"

Gan Yu nodded and said, "Yes, Fei Qing went there, just to propose marriage to my elder brother according to Zhu Lingyue's wishes, and to promote the marriage between Zhu Lingqi and me."

Chu Huan nodded slightly and asked, "What does General Gan mean?"

"My elder brother is very interested in this marriage. He accepted the betrothal gift brought by Fei Qing...!" Gan Yujiao looked solemn, "Mr. Chu, you should understand the meaning in the middle, right?"

Chu Huan couldn't help but twitch his eyes at this moment.

What he was most worried about was not the attack between Beishan and Tianshan, which was what he expected. Moreover, all Xiguan’s response strategies were taken into account Beishan and Tianshan.

What worried him the most was Gan Hou’s Northwest Army.

He couldn't guess what Gan Hou was thinking. He didn't know whether Gan Hou would remain calm or make some choice when the war began. When formulating the strategy, he did not want to make a strategy to deal with the Northwest Army. With the strength of Xiguan, it was already very difficult to face Beishan and Tianshan, so there was no need to say that he would spend his energy to deal with Gan Hou.

Chu Huan even kept praying in her heart that even if Gan Hou did not give any help to Xiguan, she hoped that the Northwest Army would remain unmoved, even if she was sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight.

It is precisely because of this reason that Chu Huan went to the Northwest Camp specifically, hoping to reach a tacit understanding with Gan Hou.

But the news brought by Gan Yujiao also shattered the last glimmer of hope in Chu Huan's heart.

Mr. Gan accepted the betrothal gift, just waiting for the marriage between Zhu Lingqi and Gan Yujiao, and even though he knew that the three heroes in the northwest were confronting each other, Mr. Gan married Zhu Lingyue. There was no doubt that this was naturally a political marriage. Through this marriage, Mr. Zhu Lingyue and Mr. Gan were about to reach an alliance.

Chu Huan knew very well that Zhu Lingyue was certainly giving Gan Hou a sufficiently attractive benefit, and Gan Hou was favored to Zhu Lingyue, which was almost a fatal blow to Chu Huan.

There are four major forces in the three northwest roads. To be honest, if the Xiliang people invaded the east, with the power of Xiguandao at that time, even if Beishan and Tianshan join forces, Xiguandao would be enough to compete.

But today is different from the past.

Xiguan Road is still the largest land area in the three northwest roads. Compared with the other two roads, Xiguan Road also has an advantage. Even the combat effectiveness of the army is stronger than Beishan Road.

However, Xiguan Road’s foundation is too weak now. Whether it is food, grass, or military equipment, it cannot be compared with Beishan Road and Tianshan Road.

Now, Gan Hou is obviously going to turn to Zhu Lingyue, which means that the four major forces in the northwest, three of them pointed their finger at Chu Huan's Xiguan Road.

In terms of logistics and supplies, Xiguan Road cannot compare with Beishan and Tianshan Mountains, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it cannot compare with the Northwest Army and Tianshan Army. Therefore, after Gan Hou turned to Zhu Lingyue, Xiguan was already under enemy several sides and was in danger.

Chu Huan felt unprecedented pressure, and his chest felt a little stuffy at this time, as if the air became turbid and it was difficult to breathe.

"Mr. Chu, are you not happy now?" Gan Yujiao stared at Chu Huan's eyes. "If this marriage is successful, don't say whether Xiguan Road can still implement the equal-field order. I'm afraid that you, Lord Chu, will have a life of your life!"

Chu Huan took a deep breath and finally asked, "Miss Yujiao, why did you come to tell me such a big deal? This is a secret matter. Does General Gan know that you are here?"

"He didn't know when I left." Gan Yujiao said softly: "But I think he will guess my whereabouts sooner or later..."

"Then why should a girl tell me such a big news?" Chu Huan was also very confused. It must be a very confidential matter for the alliance between Gan Hou and Zhu Lingyue. If Gan Yujiao was not Gan Hou's sister, she would probably not know about this matter. Gan Hou made a choice. According to common sense, Gan Yujiao naturally followed her brother to advance and retreat, but Gan Yujiao ran all the way regardless of the long journey and came to Shuoquan to tell Chu Huan about this news, which made Chu Huan a little puzzled.

Of course, he would not think that Gan Yujiao would secretly agree to himself just because he met him in the Northwest Camp last time, so in the critical moment, Gan Yujiao came to report the news.

Gan Yujiao comes, there must be some reason for it.

"Actually, the reason is very simple. I don't hate you, but I hate Zhu Lingyue very much." Gan Yujiao is worthy of being a female woman from the army. "And in my opinion, if you win, both the people in the northwest and our Northwest Army will have a better life."

Chu Huan sighed, "Thank you for your praise, girl." He paused and said, "But Zhu Lingyue was once a great hero in the northwest and had great prestige in the northwest. I haven't been in the northwest for a long time. Why can the girl conclude that I can make the people in the northwest live a better life?"

"When the people of Xiliang came in, they came fiercely. I was with my elder brother and could not resist the cavalry of the people of Xiliang for a time." Gan Yujiao said seriously: "At that time, General Feng was no longer there. The entire Northwest Army was scattered in a bunch of sand, like five fingers of a hand. Five fingers were once closed and became fists. When the people of Xiliang invaded, they could break them with one punch. However, after General Feng died, his fists became five fingers. Without a person like General Feng, it would be difficult for the Northwest Army to become fists again."

When Chu Huan heard this, he nodded slightly, obviously deeply agreeing with this statement.

"The consequence of each fighting is to defeat the entire line, a pile of sand...!" Gan Yujiao's eyes were filled with regret, "Many brothers who had been born and gone through and died together, died tragically under the iron hoofs of the people of Xiliang. At that time, everyone hoped that someone would stand up and lead everyone to attack the people of Xiliang. My elder brother fought hard for several victories in adversity, but the entire battlefield was defeated more than less, and a few victories could not change the overall situation... Lord Chu, you were not in the northwest at that time, of course you couldn't see it. The entire battlefield was full of defeated soldiers from our Northwest Army, and there were groups of three or five, and there was no intention of fighting...!"

Chu Huan nodded and said, "I have heard something. It is said that the court was not prepared at that time. General Yu Buqu had not yet come to the northwest. The situation in the northwest was in danger. It was Zhu Lingyue who stepped forward and changed the crisis."

"This is not true." Gan Yujiao said: "Just when the defeated troops were in large groups, Zhu Lingyue led the Tianshan Imperial Guard to Xiguan, and quickly gathered the retreating Northwest Army again. At that time, many people thought that Zhu Lingyue could save the Northwest in danger. The soldiers of the Northwest Army did not want to fight against the people of Xiliang. When someone stood up, they were naturally willing to fight back... Many people thought that Zhu Lingyue asked us to fight, but in fact we wanted to fight ourselves, but we didn't know how to fight. Zhu Lingyue called us to gather again. We thought he was right, so we gathered together and rebuilt the defense line...!"

"What happened later?"

"Now many people say that Zhu Lingyue was desperate to save the Northwest from danger and led by the way. This is a lie." Gan Yujiao sneered: "The Northwest Army reassembled, and Zhu Lingyue did formulate a strategy, but every time he fought with the people of Xiliang, the ones who rushed in front were all soldiers of our Northwest Army. The Tianshan Imperial Guards were always behind us. Even so, Zhu Lingyue's reputation at that time had spread throughout the inner and outer gates. Everyone said that he was a great hero. Before Yu Buqu arrived, the court even handed over the military and political power in the Northwest to Zhu Lingyue...!"

Chu Huan didn't speak, but he could hear Gan Yujiao's disdain and disgust towards Zhu Lingyue from Gan Yujiao's tone.

"Zhu Lingyue asked our Northwest Army to make meat shields in front of us. He said that we would ensure logistics supply for the Northwest Army. So at that time he ordered the preparation of food, grass and horse equipment in various places in the northwest. All the supplies were allocated by him. The materials transported from the northwest to the northwest were also under his control. In fact, we all knew very well that there were quite a few materials he transferred from the northwest and the transfer from the northwest. Moreover, the horse farms in Xiguan had not yet fallen, and he must have a large amount of food, so he would have put them in his hands.

Preparation, horses, etc., but he repeatedly said that these were all to ensure logistics for the Northwest Army. Our Northwest Army only saw brothers die one after another, but it was difficult to see supplies coming from behind." Gan Yujiao had already clenched her fists, "I admit that if it weren't for Zhu Lingyue, the Northwest Army's retreating troops would be difficult to regroup and form a new line of defense. Perhaps even if Yu Buqu comes, the Northwest might fall, but what was Zhu Lingyue's intention to fight, and how many people in the world know?"

Chu Huan sneered: "Miss, is it that when he used the Northwest Army as a shield in front to buy him time, and he was plundering supplies from the Imperial Court?"

"He was once a great hero in people's mouth. I didn't want to say anything about him, but in fact, that's it." Gan Yujiao said coldly: "In that crisis, he could use our Northwest Army and ignore our lives and death. It is hard for me to believe that when he one day grows in the Northwest, it will really affect the people, let alone our Northwest Army."

Chu Huan sighed in his heart that Zhu Lingyue once showed an angel face in front of people, but in fact, he was a devil who ate people and did not spit bones.
