Xuanyuan Shengcai was wondering whether Xiao Huanzhang would really launch an attack, but Xiao Huanzhang was also wondering whether Chu Huan was really preparing to fight the Beishan Army to a desperate battle.

Tea is a good tea, and it is made by Mrs. Xiao himself, which is good for the lungs. However, Xiao Huanzhang was not interested in drinking tea and was thinking about it. It was not until Xiao Heng came into the house that Xiao Huanzhang turned around.

Xiao Jingsheng is dead, Xiao Jingqian has been dealing with logistics and supplies. Luo Dingxi wants to guard Danyang, the frontier position, so the matter of mobilizing troops to various prefectures and prefectures and counties fell on Xiao Heng.

Beishan has a large area under its jurisdiction, with three prefectures and seventeen counties. Xiao Jingqian wanted to collect money and grain from each prefecture, while Xiao Heng took Xiao Huanzhang's order to allocate troops from each prefecture and county to rush to the front line.

"How is the matter done?" Seeing Xiao Heng come in, Xiao Huanzhang asked straight to the point: "Have all the soldiers gathered in Danyang?"

"Uncle, except for the Yutian defense line, which left 4,000 troops, each prefecture and county retained some troops just in case, and more than 25,000 people have been gathered in Danyang." Xiao Heng reported: "At most twenty days, all the troops will be gathered. The food and grass transported by the eldest brother to the front line will also be transported in an orderly manner. You should be able to fully prepare for the attack before the New Year."

Xiao Huanzhang nodded slightly, but his face did not look relaxed, and said, "Today I received a military newspaper from Luo Dingxi. Xuanyuan Sheng built a large number of fortifications on the other side of Liangzi River. Look at it, not only did we not allow us to reach the city of Qingtang, but even Liangzi River would not allow us to pass."

Xiao Heng reluctantly smiled and said, "Maybe the army on our side is too strong, which scared the other end of Xiguan, so he made such a reaction."

"Heng'er, I've asked you to send Chu Huan a secret letter to inform him of our strategy. Did he not receive it?" Xiao Huanzhang touched his beard and frowned. "Our purpose is to pretend to attack Xiguan and lead the Tianshan Army out. Then secretly transfer the army back to the western front and take advantage of the emptiness of Tianshan Mountain to attack Tianshan Road... If Chu Huan really knows our strategy, he and Zhu Lingyue are incompatible with our strategy, and should actively cooperate with our strategy, but the current situation seems to be a little wrong."

"Uncle, are you saying that the Xiguan Army is really going to fight us?" Xiao Heng also frowned.

Xiao Huanzhang looked at Xiao Heng and said, "I should ask you this. I will send you to contact Chu Huan. Did he not see your secret letter?"

"Uncle, the secret letter must have been in Chu Huan's hands." Xiao Heng said: "But... did Chu Huan not believe our intentions? Or was he already cooperating with us?"

"Have you cooperated with us?" Xiao Huanzhang sneered: "He transferred almost half of the troops in Xiguan to Qingtang. What is this called cooperation? I think he is going to fight the death with me Beishan Fish."

Xiao Heng hurriedly smiled and said, "Uncle, nephew thinks it may not be so. If my Beishan army is approaching, Xiguan will ignore it and have no big reaction, it will make people wonder. Chu Huan has always been a tough person. When Jinhe and the other provinces started to rise, he immediately sent troops to pacify and reacted very quickly. If Chu Huan cannot react quickly this time, Zhu Lingyue would probably be even more suspicious."

Xiao Huanzhang thought something after hearing this. After a while, he nodded slightly and said, "What you said is not unreasonable. Heng'er, what do you think will be the Xiguan Army do if we send troops?"

"This...!" Xiao Heng hesitated for a moment before he said carefully: "What will uncle think they will?"

Xiao Huanzhang shook his head and sighed, "I don't know either. The one who competes with Beishan and Xiguan is the only one who is cheaper. It will not benefit me from Beishan and Xiguan. I believe Chu Huan can understand this. I am just worried now that Chu Huan is young and energetic, thinking too much. If he doesn't understand our intentions and set up a formation to fight with us, it is not what I want to see."

Xiao Heng asked softly: "Uncle, why don't you write a secret letter yourself to send it. Chu Huan may consider it separately when he sees his uncle's handwritten letter."

"Heng'er, I told you to write a secret letter in the previous episode, but I told you not to sign it. Do you know why?"

"I'll ask for advice from my uncle."

"Although Chu Huan is young, he is definitely not an ordinary person and has a deep scheming." Xiao Huanzhang frowned, "Although he is incompatible with Zhu Lingyue, do you think we are his friends in his heart? There is no friend or enemy in the dispute over interests. I wrote a letter without any effort, but you have thought that if our handwritten letter fell into Chu Huan's hands, would he use a secret letter?"

"Uncle means...!" Xiao Hengyi pondered and frowned: "Does his uncle think he will use his secret letter to provoke a dispute between Tianshan and our Beishan?"

Xiao Huanzhang showed admiration in his eyes and nodded, "Yes. You must understand that what Xiguan lacks now is time. They have the method of making salt and implemented the Juntian Sect. It is said that they have built a trade field outside Yanmen Pass. With these methods, as long as the northwest remains stagnant, Xiguan will inevitably rise rapidly in less than three or two years. I am afraid that when we join forces with Tianshan, we will not be the opponent of Xiguan. So in Chu Huan's heart, it is impossible to fight. He only hopes to gain time for development... Our secret letter is in his hands, and Beishan's strategic intentions will have evidence. If...!" The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, "What if he handed the secret letter to Zhu Lingyue, what kind of result do you think will be?"

Xiao Heng sighed: "Zhu Lingyue regarded us as thorns in his eyes. If he really knew that everything we did was to lead them to send troops, Zhu Lingyue would naturally hate us more." He paused, with his eyebrows slightly locked, "If Chu Huan reached an agreement with him in private, Zhu Lingyue might not have sent troops to attack us first."

Xiao Huanzhang stared at Xiao Heng, "Do you think Zhu Lingyue would send troops to Beishan if he knew our intention?"

"Uncle, Zhu Lingyue has been slow to move because he is afraid that we will join forces with Xiguan. If Chu Huan and him reach an agreement and will not interfere in the war between Beishan and Tianshan, Zhu Lingyue will definitely use troops to us." Xiao Heng said solemnly: "Zhu Lingyue's purpose is naturally to expand his power and occupy our Beishan, and Chu Huan sits on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, fight for time, and develop himself... This is not impossible."

Xiao Huanzhang nodded and said, "That's why I said we can't write the secret letter. That can only let Chu Huan seize our handle. People's hearts are unpredictable. Once Chu Huan catches the handle, the initiative will be completely in his hands."

"But...!" Xiao Heng smiled bitterly: "If my uncle had not written a secret letter, Chu Huan would probably doubt what we wanted to do. If he really wanted to set up a formation and fight with us, the result would be a loss-win situation."

Xiao Huanzhang nodded and said, "So this matter requires a secret discussion with Chu Huan. We only need the Xiguan army to retreat to Qingtang first, let go of Liangzihe, and after we feint to attack Qingtang, they pretended to be defeated and retreated to Jiazhou City. We don't have to capture Jiazhou City. As long as we arrive at Jiazhou City, Zhu Lingyue will definitely be unable to hold on and will definitely send troops."

"Is uncle who said that he would secretly discuss with Chu Huan to let the Xiguan army retreat to Jiazhou City?" Xiao Heng whispered: "As long as they cooperate like this, will Zhu Lingyue be drawn out?"

"No," Xiao Huanzhang said: "You can tell Chu Huan that as long as he cooperates, the two armies can make the illusion of being stalemate under the city of Jiazhou. At that time, Zhu Lingyue will inevitably attack Xiguan from the western front, and we will also secretly transfer troops to attack Tianshan from the rear. Later, Xiguan gathers heavy troops, and the two armies will attack each other in front and behind. Zhu Lingyue will definitely be defeated. After defeating Zhu Lingyue and conquering Tianshan, we can discuss the issue of territory distribution. At that time, we can occupy one with them at the two paths of Tianshan, or in other words, the two paths of Tianshan belong to our Beishan. Our Beishan will cut off the northern part of Qingzhou and hand it over to Xiguan. Chu Huan has salt in his hand and needs to be sold to the northern part of Qingzhou. He can give him a passage to enter Xigu Pass directly. I think this condition must be very tempting for him."

"Uncle, what do you mean is to have someone go to a secret meeting with Chu Huan and tell him our thoughts?"

Xiao Huanzhang nodded and said, "Although you have already gone to the secret letter, Chu Huan may not fully understand our intentions, so... we still need to discuss with Chu Huan carefully."

"Uncle, who will go what you are going?"

"This matter is of course very confidential." Xiao Huanzhang said solemnly: "The fewer people you know, the better. Heng'er, you are the person I trust the most, I can't trust others. Moreover, you have had contact with Chu Huan. If you go there in person, you will definitely be able to gain Chu Huan's trust."

Xiao Heng said: "But... the soldiers have not yet been assembled, and what my nephew has to do...!"

"You don't have to worry about this." Xiao Huanzhang said: "Even if all the troops were assembled, but they failed to discuss the details with Chu Huan, everything would be in vain. The most important thing now is that He Chuhuan has reached a secret agreement. Our common enemy is Zhu Lingyue. As long as Zhu Lingyue is eliminated, we can discuss what happened next."

Xiao Heng thought for a moment, nodded and said, "The nephew will explain what he has at hand, and then set off for Shuoquan in secret."

Xiao Huanzhang sighed, "Heng'er, this is going to be hard for you. I don't have many people who can be the only one in my own hands. Now you are the only ones who... Alas, work harder!"

Xiao Heng bowed his hands and said a few more words before he was asked to fire.

Xiao Heng left the door and immediately turned a figure from behind, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist suddenly appeared Xiao Huanzhang's eldest son Xiao Jingqian.

Xiao Jingqian stepped forward and locked the door bolt. When he turned around, Xiao Huanzhang was holding a teacup and savoring a warm tea. Xiao Jingqian approached and said in a low voice: "Dad, do you think he will talk to Chu Huan when he goes to Shuoquan?"

Xiao Huanzhang put down the teacup and sneered: "Although I'm not sure, I still have some hope."

"This is something that is ripped off." Xiao Jingqian clenched his fists with both hands, "I just wished I could kill him with one knife."

"It's not the time." Xiao Huanzhang said lightly: "When that day comes, I will definitely let him live but die!"
