Chapter 138 Countermeasures and the decision of the Li family and his son

After Xiao Qinyan finished speaking, he left the study and was led by his servants to the front hall.

At this time, Zhang Chengfu said, "Second brother, this matter is related to Wu Lang. Please tell me first. What do you think?"

"Brother, you want me to say that Xiao Qinyan's idea is good. At least it is much better than the current situation. As for the troubles we may encounter in the future? Third brother, are you confident?" Zhang Chenglu said

"Don't worry, second brother, they can't afford to make trouble. I have been in charge of Beijing Camp for so many years and I have never been afraid of this." Zhang Chengshou said directly.

"Haha, brother, how are you? I don't need to say anything else, right?" Zhang Chenglu said

"Okay, since the third brother is so confident, then this matter has been settled. I will ask someone to invite Xiao Qinyan over and ask him to go back and report to the eldest lady." Zhang Chengfu said

The two brothers naturally did not object after hearing this, so soon, Xiao Qinyan came to the study again. After that, Zhang Chengfu didn't waste any time and made his decision directly.

After hearing this, Xiao Qinyan had a smile on his face and felt relieved in his heart. After all, if he didn't get it done this time, he would definitely lose points with the eldest lady.

Although he has always had some small thoughts in his heart, he also knows very well that his only support now is the aunt, and all his plans must be supported by the aunt.

After the matter was finished, Xiao Qinyan stood up and left the Gaoping Hou Mansion. The three brothers of the Zhang family also sent him off with dignity. After all, he represented the eldest lady, so he still had to have the respect he deserved.

After seeing Xiao Qinyan away, the three brothers returned to the study and started discussing again.

"Even if the Queen hesitates about this idea, it probably won't take long, so Third Brother, you must be prepared." Zhang Chengfu warned.

"Don't worry, brother, I'll start preparations when I get back soon, but I think we should tell Wu Lang in advance so that he can prepare in advance?" Zhang Chengshou said

"Second brother, Wu Lang is your son. I will leave this matter to you. Remember, you must act quickly, otherwise he will not be allowed to delay the family for too long." Zhang Chengfu said.

"Well, I understand, brother. Since there's nothing else, I'll go back first." After Zhang Chenglu finished speaking, he turned around and left.

When Zhang Chengshou saw his second brother leaving, he followed him. After all, he had to go back to prepare, and he didn't have much time.

At this time, Xiao Qinyan had returned to Cining Hall and told the matter to the eldest lady.

"What? Exchange soldiers and horses? Now, what exactly does the Zhang family want to do?" the eldest lady said in surprise.

"Back to Madam, the Zhang family's intention is very clear. They just want to take advantage of their scheme and take this opportunity to take root in the northwest." Xiao Qin said.

"Of course the Ai family knows, but why do they do this? Why do they continue to take root in the northwest? Are they so worried about the Ai family and His Majesty?" said the eldest lady.

Xiao Qinyan didn't say anything after hearing this, because he didn't dare to accept such words, let alone him. No one in the civil and military circles in the dynasty dared to accept such words.

At this time, the eldest lady also reacted, knowing that no one dared to answer this question, so she said again, "Xiao Aiqing, what do you think of this? Do you think the Ai family can agree?"

"Reporting to the eldest lady, this matter is of great importance, I dare not speak nonsense." Xiao Qinyan said quickly

"Okay, the Ai family forgives you for not being guilty. Say it boldly. There are not many people that the Ai family can trust, and even fewer people who can give advice to the Ai family. Tell me, what do you think?" said the eldest lady.

"Back to the eldest lady, I think this is a plan to drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf. If this plan is successful, the two families will inevitably be at odds, which will be beneficial to the overall situation of the court."

"However, this is just drinking poison to quench thirst. If it is not properly resolved within three to five years, I'm afraid there will be endless disasters, so I ask the eldest lady to judge it." Xiao Qinyan bowed and said.

"Yes, Aiqing, you are right. This is indeed a way to quench thirst. However, it is better for these two tigers to fight than for one family to be the only one. Let's wait until the Ai family is free in a few years." The eldest lady said.

When Xiao Qinyan heard this, he knew that this was a promise, but he did not speak, but waited for the eldest lady to speak. Sure enough, the eldest lady spoke after a while.

After receiving Yi's decree, Xiao Qinyan bowed and then exited the Cining Hall. At this time, the eldest lady frowned. She didn't know why, but she always felt uneasy after making the decision.

At this time, Xiao Qinyan had no idea about this. He did not go to the Guangning Marquis Mansion this time, but went directly to the Beijing Camp and read out the imperial edict of the eldest empress.

Zhang Chengshou, who had received Yizhi, prepared faster. Two days passed slowly like this, and Zhang Chengshou's actions naturally could not be hidden from anyone who was interested.

They thought they had a handle, and wrote letters of impeachment in the morning. But in the end, they were dumbfounded, because the Zhang family actually followed the eldest lady's decree.

This made them miserable, and was remembered by the Zhang family. Only then did they realize that they had been tricked.

This was a situation deliberately set up for them by the eldest lady and the Zhang family. When they figured it out, they secretly hated it and had to swallow their breath.

Time passed slowly, and all parties were preparing. At this time, Zhang Heng finally returned to Bingzhou and met Shen Ke and the others again.

At this time, the attitude of Shen Ke and the other two people was extremely polite. After all, Zhang Heng did not come back alone this time. There were still [-] troops behind him?

Including the farmers who carried the baggage, there were almost 5 people, so they couldn't help but be rude.

Zhang Heng was naturally very happy with their changes, so he happily went to the banquet prepared by Shen Ke and the others. After having a drink with the three of them, he returned to his home.

After he came back, he didn't go anywhere, but went straight back to the room. When Gao Hui saw his official coming back, he quickly got up and helped the official take off his robe and said, "Sir, you are finally back."

"Madam, my husband misses you so much. You don't know. I should have come back a long time ago. Who would have thought that a lot of people would come back with me? This has delayed my life." Zhang Heng said.
"Okay, sir, let's not talk about this for now. I've asked someone to prepare water. You can quickly wash up and I'll give you a good massage." Gao Hui said with a smile.

"Haha, okay, put all the troubles aside, I want to enjoy my wife's craftsmanship." Zhang Heng said with a smile after hearing this.

Sitting comfortably in the bathtub, enjoying the head massage from his wife, Zhang Heng, who had been tense, finally relaxed.

After feeling the changes in his family, Gao Hui also became happy. It is said that a long separation is better than a new marriage, and the old saying is certainly true.After a night's rest, Zhang Heng went out refreshed. After arriving at the Yamen, he directly asked Shen Ke and the others to come over.

With the threat of yesterday's [-] troops, Shen Ke and the others naturally did not dare to neglect, so it didn't take long for the three of them to arrive.

"Everyone is here. The purpose of my coming to you today is very simple. You must have seen those soldiers yesterday? Where did those soldiers come from? I don't need to say more, right?"

"Those soldiers are taking a short rest in Bingzhou. They will leave for Linzhou in a few days." Zhang Heng said
"Um, Jing Lue, you mean they are going to Linzhou? Is this Zhe Jing Lue?" Shen Ke said
"Yes, this is indeed what Uncle Zhe meant. When these soldiers go to Linzhou this time, they will not just sit there, they may also send troops." Zhang Heng nodded.
"What? Send troops? General strategy, did you hear me correctly? Is this sending troops privately?" Shen Ke said
"Huh? Let me tell you, Old Shen, what you said is wrong. How could you send troops privately? It's obviously the Li family's enemy, so we have to send troops to fight back." Zhang Heng said
After hearing this, Shen Ke stopped talking, because he knew that the Zhe family had made up their minds to support the bandits. They had already boarded the ship, and nothing they said could change the outcome.

And Shen Ke is like this, not to mention Wu Gang and Chen Lin, so naturally there is nothing to say.

"Okay, since you all know now, let's go back and prepare. Although the army has brought food and grass when it comes this time, we can't be unprepared at all."

"Does that make us too immodest? So you should hurry back and prepare." Zhang Heng said
After hearing this, Shen Ke and the other three could only bow and exit the study. After they left, Zhang Heng's face turned ugly.

Although he made it clear to his woman, it didn't mean that he really didn't care at all. After all, he was also a face-conscious person.

But now he can't do anything. Not only can't he do it, but he also has to cooperate with others. This feeling is naturally very uncomfortable.

At the same time, the Li family's mood was not much better. After all, they were about to win the Ganzhou Uighurs, but something went wrong behind them.

"Father, if you ask me to say that we should just ignore them, I don't believe that Wei Guo really dares to attack us. If they dare to attack us, then we might as well turn around and fight with them!" Li Yuanhao said

"Stupid, Hao'er. If you really did that, you would have fallen into the trap. Do you really think that this boy from the Zhang family is so happy that he wants to make a career? Who would believe this?"

"Behind this, it's obvious that the Zhe family is planning to help. Before, they couldn't help directly. Now that Zhang Heng is in front, even if something happens, the Zhe family can't be blamed."

"Of course, the Zhang family is there to support them. The Zhe family sees that the Liao Kingdom is too stable, so they want to play the trick of raising the bandits to respect themselves again," Li Mingde said.

"What? This, father, then, what should we do?" Li Yuanhao said

"What should we do? There is no other way at the moment. Now that we know what they want to do, we can't let them get their wish. Leave Wei alone."

"Go and tell the Yinzhou defenders that no matter how provocative Wei is, they will not fight. Guard the city for me. Let's defeat the Ganzhou Uighurs first!" Li Mingde said

After hearing what his father said, Li Yuanhao felt a little unwilling, but he also knew that his father's decision was the right one, so he didn't say anything.

Instead, he turned around and left. Li Mingde looked at his son's leaving back and nodded with a smile.

Just as the Zhe family's [-] troops were preparing to set off, Zhang Heng finally received a letter from the capital. After opening the letter and reading it, Zhang Heng remained silent for a while.

Because he was also stunned by the news, he didn't know what to do for a while. After a while, he called Huzi over and said, "Huzi, you go think of a way to delay the army for a few days. "

After hearing this, Huzi was stunned for a moment, then didn't say anything, but just clasped his fists, then turned and left.

After Huzi left, Zhang Heng said to himself, "Haha, Uncle Zhe, I want to see how you will deal with this move."

When Zhang Heng received the letter, Zhe Weizhong naturally also received it. After all, this matter made a lot of noise in the capital, and people could easily detect it.

"Father, what did you say? Exchange soldiers and horses? It's a shame that the Zhang family can think of it." Oretsugu preached.

"Haha, do you really think this was the idea of ​​the Zhang family?" Zhe Weizhong asked
"What? Father, isn't this the Zhang family's idea?" Zhe Jixuan asked.

"Xuan'er, how can you allow others to snore next to this bed? That's an army of 5000 people, not [-] people. Will you take such a big risk for a family member?" Zhe Wei Zhongdao said

"Father, do you mean that this is what the eldest lady meant? After all, no matter how you look at this matter, the biggest beneficiary should be the imperial court." Zhe Jixuan reacted and said

"Children can be taught. You guessed it right, Xuan'er. This whole thing is the handiwork of the eldest lady. She wants us to mix sand with each other, so that you can have me and you."

"In this way, the eldest lady can sit back and relax and reap the benefits of the fishermen." Zhe Weizhong said

"Father, according to what you said, why doesn't the Zhang family have any objections? Oh, I understand, this matter is not all bad, so the Zhang family did not object."

"After all, this time is also an excellent opportunity for the Zhang family." Oretsugu said

"Xuan'er, this matter is not only good for the Zhang family, but also for our family. This matter is actually a win-win situation."

"It's just that the eldest lady can get the most benefits, and because both of our families can get the benefits, she is not afraid that our two families will not agree."

"I have to say that the eldest lady's plan this time is really good. I really underestimated her before. Okay, let's go and send a message to Bingzhou to tell them not to act rashly." Zhe Wei Zhong said

"I understand, father, but father, if we don't take action here, what will happen to the Ganzhou Uighurs? They will not be able to hold on anymore," Zheji preached.

"Can't you hold it? Xuan'er, whether the Ganzhou Uighur can hold it or not, what does it have to do with our family? Don't forget, the surname of Hedong Road is Zhang now." Zhe Weizhong said

"My son is stupid. My son will send someone to deliver a message to Bingzhou." Zhe Jixuan suddenly realized.

"Haha, go ahead and remember to move quickly. Since there is someone else in charge there, our military strength should not be wasted in vain." Zhe Weizhong warned.

After hearing the announcement, Zheji directly cupped his fists and saluted, then turned around and left the study, arranging his confidants to deliver a letter to Bingzhou.
