Ever since the news of Chaiyang's declaration of war on Yongzhou came out, all the warlords in the northwest have fallen into a subtle relationship.
The relationship was originally good or bad, but during these days, they kept the distance between each other just right, quietly waiting for Huo Tingyu's response.
Among the warlords in the northwest, Huo Tingyu, who has not yet passed his thirties, is the youngest. In the eyes of some pretentious warlords, he is just a junior.
But the fact is that they have to admit that Huo Tingyu, a junior, has done things that many of them cannot or even dare not do.
Let’s not go too far, let’s just say that Yongzhou has recently started to accept refugees, and even started to build a big theater in view of such a big economic problem.
Therefore, many eyes in the northwest are watching the confrontation between Yongzhou and Chaiyang.
Huo Tingyu suppressed the news and slowly discussed the battle plan with his officers.
So, on the third day after Chaiyang declared war on Yongzhou, Huo Tingyu stood up and publicly stated that Yongzhou would fight.
After this news came out, the entire northwest and even the entire Republic of China couldn't help but pay attention.
Zhang Gui looked at Shao Peichen: "My lord, do you think Huo Tingyu or Jiang Lu will win this time?"
Shao Peichen said seriously: "Jiang Lu will die, but I will win."
Hearing what Shao Peichen said, Zhang Gui couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
He turned his head suddenly and met Shao Peichen's eyes.
Zhang Gui's heart trembled, and he quickly nodded with a smile: "Master Shao is very resourceful."
Shao Peichen smiled and said nothing, just sat there and looked at Zhang Gui quietly.
Zhang Gui was a little frightened by him: "You..."
As soon as he spoke, Shao Peichen immediately withdrew his gaze and quietly played with the jade ring on his hand.
Shao Peichen's eyes were slender, and he usually looked shrewd and calculating, but now he lowered his head and smiled, and Zhang Gui could only feel the hair on his back.
I don’t know if making a deal with him is a good choice.
However, Zhang Gui's current situation does not allow him to make other choices. He can only take one step at a time.
At this time, Shao Peichen looked up at him and smiled lightly.
His smile looked innocent, but there was no light in his eyes.
Zhang Gui's heart was beating fast and he couldn't help but tighten the handle of the chair.
But Shao Peichen deliberately showed this expression, so when he saw the knuckles on Zhang Gui's hands that were turning white from exertion, he narrowed his eyes vaguely.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I am not a dishonest person. Since you are willing to do business with me, Mr. Shao, I, Mr. Shao, will not let you down."
Zhang Gui looked at Shao Peichen and nodded slowly.
Seeing Zhang Gui's cautious look, Shao Peichen smiled even brighter.
Huo Tingyu stood on the tower, looking at the trenches dug overnight on the mountains in the distance, and clenched his fists.
Ji Li hurriedly ran up: "Commander, the arrangements have been made."
Huo Tingyu nodded, indicating that he already knew, and told Ji Li: "Remember, this time is to establish your authority. Fight as fast as you can, and try to defeat the enemy with one move."
Ji Li pursed his lips tightly: "But this requires firepower coverage, and the cost..."
"There is no need for the government to worry about the expenses. Just put your mind back into your stomach. It was not written in the previous contract. I, Chen Jinjun, made a verbal agreement with the commander-in-chief that the expenses for this war will be borne by my Chen family."
As soon as Chen Jinjun said the first word, Huo Tingyu immediately recognized her voice and quickly turned back to look at Chen Jinjun.
Ji Li raised his eyebrows: "Wouldn't this cost my boss money?"
Chen Jinjun slowly walked forward and looked at the soldiers resting in the distance with a far-reaching gaze: "It's just some gold and silver, how can it be compared to human life?"
Huo Tingyu followed Chen Jinjun's gaze and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking, how long will this battle take at the earliest?" Chen Jinjun turned to look at Huo Tingyu.
Huo Tingyu pondered for a moment: "Fastest?"
Huo Tingyu really hadn't thought about this question carefully. When it comes to war, long-term considerations are always needed. Now Chen Jinjun suddenly asked what the fastest speed was. He really needed to think about it before he could answer her question.
Huo Tingyu frowned and thought for a while: "The fastest...three days?"
Three days is the fastest in Huo Tingyu's opinion, that is, the firepower covers it from the beginning, shocking Jiang Lu and even the entire northwest, and even fearing Yongzhou's strength. This can ensure that the war ends with war and prevents the entire northwest from falling into
In the panic of war.
"Three days?" Chen Jinjun clicked his tongue.
"What's wrong? Is this too slow for my boss?" Huo Tingyu looked at Chen Jinjun with concern.
I saw Chen Jinjun slowly shaking his head: "It would be best if it ends in three days. I asked Yu Ce to mix a car of arms in the caravan."
Hearing Chen Jinjun talk about arms, Huo Tingyu frowned: "Where did the boss get the arms from?"
Chen Jinjun looked at Huo Tingyu's serious expression and smiled: "Money can make the world go round. Of course I have my own way."
Huo Tingyu still frowned: "I don't want my boss to come into contact with these arms dealers."
Chen Jinjun was startled: "Why? Is the commander-in-chief afraid that I will become the lord of a city?"
Huo Tingyu shook his head: "No."
"Why is that?" Chen Jinjun looked at Huo Tingyu and asked him to give him an explanation.
Huo Tingyu pursed his lips: "Arms dealers are the most cunning. I'm afraid that my employer will suffer a loss."
The expression on his face didn't seem to be fake, and Chen Jinjun couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
Strictly speaking, this is the first time that anyone cares about who they deal with when doing business.
Over the years, countless people have done business with the Chen family, including people from all walks of life. Chen Jinjun has never denied the difficulties of doing business, but in the end no one cares about him.
They can only see that they are making a lot of money, but they have not seen how much resistance and difficulties they have received when negotiating business, and how much premeditation and effort they have made.
Chen Jinjun looked at Huo Tingyu, and his nose felt a little sore for a moment.
Huo Tingyu stood there, his eyes full of concern. Chen Jinjun sniffed, smiled and shook his head.
"The commander-in-chief has thought about it. Yu Ce was involved in this business, and I didn't come forward."
"Seriously?" Huo Tingyu looked at Chen Jinjun, the concern in his eyes almost overflowing.
Chen Jinjun pursed his lips and nodded heavily.
Huo Tingyu then retracted his serious gaze with suspicion and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Although he knows Chen Jinjun's methods and believes in Chen Jinjun's abilities, arms dealers are inherently people in a gray area, and it is not good to have too many contacts.
However... if Chen Jinjun really wants to come into contact with these people, and he is behind her, these people can always be wary.
Thinking of this, Huo Tingyu looked at Chen Jinjun again: "But I still have to thank my boss."
Perhaps Huo Tingyu's eyes were too sincere, so Chen Jinjun quickly looked away: "This is what you should do. Commander, there is no need to say thank you."
