Chapter One Three Six Two
Xiao Heng's eyes showed a look of surprise, "Du Chu, I don't understand your words."
Chu Huan sighed: "Young Master Xiao, think about it yourself. Qingtang fake war, our Xiguan army deliberately retreated. According to Xiao Huanzhang, they took Qingtang City, and the Xiguan army retreated to Jiazhou City. If the two really joined forces to design Zhu Lingyue, there are more than 30 counties in the four Xiguan roads, and it would not be unacceptable to abandon a Qingtang County. But if the Beishan army took Qingtang and took advantage of the time when our Xiguan army retreated to Jiazhou City, they suddenly launched an attack later, what would you think the result would be?"
Xiao Heng was stunned for a moment and frowned, "This... probably won't be!"
"It won't be the best, what if it's true?" Chu Huan sneered: "The defeated army cannot maintain its formation, and its formation is loose. If the Beishan Army attacked from behind at this time, how would our Xiguan respond? From Qingtang to Jiazhou City, it is less than a hundred miles, but one horse is flat. The Beishan Army currently has an advantage that we cannot compare to...!"
After all, Xiao Heng was not a fool, so he immediately reacted, "Caval!"
"It is difficult to spread the cavalry south of Qingtang, but if you take Qingtang, there is a flat horse in the north, which is suitable for cavalry attacks." Chu Huan sneered: "The cavalry in Beishan should be less than 3,000. If the three thousand cavalry really suddenly attack our Xiguan Army in the rear, Mr. Xiao, do you think about the consequences?"
Xiao Heng felt a little cold in his hands and feet. If Chu Huan hadn't explained this, he wouldn't have understood that there was such a secret.
"Chu...Duke Chu, if Xiao Huanzhang really planned like this, then..." Xiao Heng's eyes twitched slightly.
Chu Huan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, if he really wants to treat me like this, it only means that he already knows that Xiao Jingqian's death is related to me..."
Xiao Heng's feet suddenly became a little cold.
"Young Master Xiao, this matter was planned by you. I borrowed your man from you. I really didn't expect that the result would be like this." Chu Huan lowered his voice, "But I am sure that my people are doing things in a straightforward manner, without any delay, and will not leave any evidence. If Xiao Huanzhang is really sure that Xiao Jingqian's death is related to me, have you ever thought about the reason?"
Xiao Heng's brothers and feet were cold at this time, and his voice trembled slightly: "Chu...Du Chu, is it...you mean that Xiao Huanzhang already suspected that Xiao Jingqian's death was related to...I?" When he thought of this, Xiao Heng was really frightened.
Chu Huan whispered: "Actually, before I came to see you, I was not sure that this was Xiao Huanzhang's trick. I even thought that if Xiao Huanzhang really used this method to lead Zhu Lingyue, it would be a clever plan. At least before I saw your secret letter, I thought Xiao Huanzhang was really crazy and wanted to compete with me in Xiguan. So I believe that if this was Xiao Huanzhang's trick to lead the snake out of the cave, Zhu Lingyue would probably not be able to see the mystery. He would probably be fooled."
Xiao Heng nodded slightly and sighed: "I was also surprised when Xiao Huanzhang planned like this that day, but I also felt that it was a first-class trick."
"But now Xiao Huanzhang asked our Xiguan Army to retreat to Jiazhou City and give up Liangzihe and Qingtang County. There was a flaw in it." Chu Huan smiled faintly and said, "Maybe Xiao Huanzhang thought I was not military and could not see the key points."
"Duke Chu, if he really wants to attack Xiguan, why do he have to spend a lot of effort and say what to do to lure the snake out of the cave?" Xiao Heng asked in a low voice: "And this matter is very confidential, and not many people know about it."
"If I guess correctly, this is a trap." Chu Huan sighed softly: "After Xiao Jingqian's death, he may have realized that Xiao Jingqian's death was related to us, so the goal was not locked on Zhu Lingyue at the beginning, but focused on my governor. He deliberately made people think that he suspected that Xiao Jingqian's death was related to Zhu Lingyue. He wanted to avenge his son, but could not fight against Tianshan. Therefore, he used the excuse to lure the snake out of the cave, first attack Xiguan, lead out the Tianshan Army, and privately communicated with me. The purpose of course was to make me believe everything he did, and the goal was to target Zhu Lingyue."
Xiao Heng only felt that the middle was extremely complicated. Seeing Chu Huan's young age, Chu Huan could not even see such a cunning trick. He couldn't help but think in his heart that Chu Huan could control Xiguandao in a short period of time, it seemed that it was indeed not accidental. This young governor was not only extremely courageous, but also thought carefully, and was really a powerful figure.
"If I really believe him and want to work with him to get rid of Zhu Lingyue and actively cooperate, that would be the trap of Xiao Huanzhang." Chu Huan's eyes were cold, "His purpose is my governor. Everything he did was a trap set for me. Once I jumped down and retreated to Jiazhou City as he said, he would retreat to the city of Jiazhou. After the Xiguan army withdrew from Qingtang, his troops would inevitably attack from behind, and would definitely be mainly cavalry to completely defeat the Xiguan army. In this way, in a battle, our Xiguan would be defeated. He could take advantage of the situation and occupy Jiazhou in a very short time and approach Yuezhou. At that time, if he didn't need to contact me, the Tianshan army would definitely send troops immediately and attack our Xiguan from the west...!" Sitting on the chair, he said lightly: "Mr. Xiao, at that time, what trump card does this governor have to fight with him?"
When Xiao Heng heard Chu Huan say this, his back became cold. Although he knew that Xiao Huanzhang was cunning, if everything was really as Chu Huan said, then Xiao Huanzhang's scheming was already terrifying.
"The real one is to be true...the real one is to be false...he pretended to be incompatible with Zhu Lingyue, pretended to be an enemy of Chu, saying that he wanted to lead Zhu Lingyue out. In fact, his purpose was to be Duke Chu...!" Xiao Heng smiled bitterly and said, "Duke Chu, if you didn't say this, even if you wanted to break your head, I would never have thought that he would have such a possibility."
"Young Master Xiao, if everything is really as I said, the most dangerous thing now is you." Chu Huan sighed: "There are very few people who know about the so-called plan to lead the snake out of the cave, but you are one of the insiders. Not only that, he also handed over the task of contacting me to you. In this matter, he seems to value you very much..."
Xiao Heng's eyes kept twitching.
"Xiao Jingqian's death is planned by you, and I've acted on it. I said that my people will never leave any flaws. If you can't find flaws from me, then the flaws can only come from yours." Chu Huan said slowly: "Young Master Xiao, if Xiao Huanzhang knew that Xiao Jingqian's death was related to us, but still relied on you everywhere, you should be able to figure out the reason."
Xiao Heng had already sweated coldly on his forehead and said with a wry smile: "If he knew the inside story but did not kill me, of course it was to stabilize you, and he would use me to confuse Duke Chu."
"Just Mr. Xiao understands it."
"But...!" Xiao Heng frowned and said, "But how is this possible? There is no flaw here, and... and the matter was planned carefully by my aunt. Although my aunt is a woman, the situation is careful and thoughtful, so there should be no problems...!" He was silent for a long time before finally saying, "Duke Chu, what you said just now is not without reason, but it is just a speculation. It may not be Xiao Huanzhang's thoughts. Perhaps he is not as deep as you think, and his purpose is not you..."
"You said it right. Everything is not clear yet. Both possibilities exist." Chu Huan said: "Maybe I really want to lead the snake out of the hole, but what if this is not the case, everything is indeed as the governor said and is caught up in the governor's material?"
Xiao Heng took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "Then the next general will definitely die!"
"At least not yet. Before defeating our army, Xiao Huanzhang would not kill you. He would use you to confuse me. If you die, he would worry that I will be alert and will not benefit his tricks." Chu Huan shook his head and said calmly: "But you said it right. If you don't die now, it doesn't mean that you won't die in the future. If you kill his son, the longer he endured, the deeper the hatred in his heart. When he really wanted to take action, Mr. Xiao would probably be light in skin and cramps."
Xiao Heng shivered, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Duke Chu, for... just in case, I am willing to join Duke Chu, follow Duke Chu, follow Duke Chu's command and go through fire and water, and do not hesitate."
"You can't leave now."
Xiao Heng said anxiously: "Duke Chu, you...you can't stand by death and refuse to save me. Xiao Huanzhang is cruel and ruthless. If... if... if... if... if he really knew that Xiao Jingqian died because of me, he...even if he killed me, he wouldn't let me die easily. He would definitely make me live and not die. And... and Xiao Jingsheng, he had long hated me. If I fell into his hands, the consequences would be even more...!" His pupils contracted, with fear.
Chu Huan's lips actually had a smile on his face and said, "Young Master Xiao, don't you remember the original promise of this governor? I said that this governor will do his best to help you take Xiao Huanzhang and replace him. Are you ready to give up now?"
"But... But if Xiao Huanzhang realized that Xiao Jingqian's death was related to me, he would never have another chance." Xiao Heng said helplessly.
Chu Huan shook his head and said, "There is no way out. At least he dares not touch you now. As long as he doesn't take action for a day, you will have a chance." After a pause, he said with a smile: "And Mrs. Xiao is a person who values friendship. Mrs. Xiao also has a special liking for Mrs. Xiao. Just leave like this. Wouldn't Mrs. Xiao's situation be even more dangerous?"
Xiao Heng's face was pale, "Does... Xiao Huanzhang already know...!" But she didn't continue to say that she had an affair with Mrs. Xiao, and was extremely careful to hide the secret. Apart from the two of them, only Chu Huan knew about it. At this time, she was shocked that Xiao Huanzhang had already known about her affair with Mrs. Xiao, but she thought that the murder of Xiao Jingqian was originally designed by herself and Mrs. Xiao. If Xiao Huanzhang really knew the cause of Xiao Jingqian's death, of course she would know the relationship between her and Mrs. Xiao.
But he really couldn't figure out where Xiao Huanzhang knew these secrets from.
"Young Master Xiao, you have also said that everything is just the guess of the governor, and it may not be true. Maybe Xiao Huanzhang really just wants to lead the snake out of the hole. If this is true, once you leave, wouldn't it be that you don't want to attack yourself, and the consequences will be even more serious." Chu Huan looked cold, "Whether it is for your own future or for your sweetheart, you shouldn't leave. Young Master Xiao, I respect you as a man. If you leave your sweetheart as a deserter and dare not compete with Xiao Huanzhang, then the governor has really misjudged the person."
"Duke Chu, do you think I have any chance now?" Xiao Heng shook his head helplessly: "I have no soldiers or power in my hands... I can't find Xiao Huanzhang, and stab him to death with one knife!"
