Chapter 653: The Awesome Su Honghui
Chapter 653: The Awesome Su Honghui
Huang Zhen was very puzzled and looked down again and again.
"What's wrong? Do you have any questions?" Su Honghui asked calmly.
"Grand Commander, I don't understand what's going on. Why did you take the initiative to contact the Khitans?"
"Why did you take the initiative to contact the Khitans? Haha, Deputy General Huang, you don't understand the current situation. My approach is not wrong."
"I don't know."
"If you don't understand, then don't understand. Anyway, you just need to deliver my letter."
"understood."
Li Jinzhong of Guicheng Prefecture also served as the governor, and this letter was intended to be delivered to Li Jinzhong.
Since Su Honghui replaced Zhao Wenhui as the Grand Commander of Yingzhou Guard, he has always adopted a conciliatory policy towards the Khitan and provided more help to the Khitan's military and civilians.
With his deliberate help, the Khitan people had an increasingly better impression of the Great Zhou, especially Li Jinzhong, whose sense of belonging to the Great Zhou was even greater than that of his good brother Sun Wanrong.
Now is the time when the pressure on the border of the Great Zhou is at its maximum. The Yingzhou Guard is alone facing the attack from the Turks which may come at any time. It is the time to ask the Khitans for help.
Of course, Huang Zhen was just a deputy general, so how could he possibly guess Su Honghui's thoughts?
Therefore, Su Honghui only needed Huang Zhen to complete his task without letting Huang Zhen know everything.
Turks, the five Dulu tribes.
When Prince Helu learned that the Youwei Army had left Chongzhou, he immediately prepared to persuade Jili Khan to send troops to Youzhou, tear up the armistice agreement between the Turks and the Great Zhou, and plunder people and livestock in Youzhou.
However, before he left the territory of the Dulu tribe, someone caught up with him on horseback.
"What's going on?" Prince Helu turned his horse's head and asked.
"Oh no, Prince, something has happened." The visitor looked worried. "News came from Khitan. Su Honghui, the Grand Commander of the Yingzhou Guard of the Great Zhou, sent someone to Khitan to deliver a letter."
Prince Helu paused.
"After the Youwei Army left, the Yingzhou Guard Commander-in-Chief Su Honghui sent people to Khitan..."
"I probably know."
"Is this to protect us?"
Ever since Snake Spirit elder sister Xiao Qingfang started a war between Great Zhou, Turks and Khitans, she thought she could directly divide Chongzhou into three parts, but her plan was ruined by Li Cunxi, and the final victim was herself.
After suffering a great loss that time, Prince Helu finally understood that the Khitan was just like the Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period of China, where profit was paramount and face was not important.
Without sufficient interests and complete hatred, it would be extremely difficult to get the Khitan to betray the Great Zhou.
Unfortunately, the Turks did not have enough benefits to give to the Khitans, so there was no way to achieve a situation where the Turks and Khitans were fighting two against one.
Now, if Prince Helu is so bold as to go and persuade Jili Khan to attack the Great Zhou, Jili Khan will definitely scold him as a fool after finding out the situation around him.
After all, the Turks are not a united front now. It would be extremely daring for them to dare to face both the Khitan army and the Yingzhou Guards who may receive support at any time at the same time.
Who can defeat these two parties joining forces?
Even if the Khitan military god Sun Wanrong passed away, there would never be a country in the world that could face both the Great Zhou and the Khitan at the same time.
"Damn it, everyone's gone, but they're still on guard against us."
Prince Helu cursed angrily, turned around and walked back to the camp.
……
The garrison of Yingzhou Guard.
Su Honghui obtained the intelligence sent from the Turkic Duolu tribe.
After reading it, he laughed out loud and was in a very happy mood.
"Great, great, that's great. The idiots from the Dulu tribe really don't have the guts to go to war with us."
"After they learned that we had contact with Khitan, they really returned along the same route."
Huang Zhen didn't understand and his face was full of question marks.
Seeing Huang Zhen like this, Su Honghui generously handed over the information in his hand.
Huang Zhen took the information in his hand, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, and was immediately surprised.
When his gaze shifted from the intelligence to Su Honghui's confident face, there was only endless admiration in his eyes.
"General Su wrote to Li Jinzhong of Khitan in order to intimidate those idiots of the five Turkic Duolu tribes."
"I didn't understand General Su's behavior before, but now it seems that I was short-sighted and didn't know the difference between gold and jade."
"General, please forgive my previous mistakes. I will humbly learn from your wisdom in the future."
Su Honghui enjoyed it very much, but did not show it.
He turned around, looked up 45 degrees in a very pretentious manner, and said calmly:
"You are still young and need to practice. To achieve great feats on the battlefield, you not only need to fight and kill, but also need to control people's hearts."
"There is still a long way to go. You should learn slowly and practice hard. Sooner or later, you will grow up."
"I won't be able to stay in this position for long. You will be in my position sooner or later."
"As a border guard, you must be a capable person. If you just rely on blindly exploiting others and attacking all directions with force, you are not a qualified border guard."
"Remember, remember, the most important thing for a border guard is to guard."
"No matter what time it is, defending against foreign tribes is the most important event that border guards need to remember."
Huang Zhen widened his eyes and kept Su Honghui's words in mind.
The previous example is that General Zhao Wenhui did not know how to win the hearts of the people and did not show benevolence and righteousness when dealing with foreign tribes, which led to the Khitan rebellion and he was beheaded.
It has only been a short time since then, and Huang Zhen must remember the truth behind it.
After the balance between Yingzhou Wei, the Turks and the Khitans was restored, the war on the border was eliminated invisibly.
On the way back to Luoyang, Li Cunxi also received an urgent report from the border. After reading it carefully, he couldn't help but smile.
"This Su Honghui is indeed a brave and resourceful general."
Li Cunxi remembered that in the original world, Su Honghui killed Wang Xiaojie in Dongxishi Valley because he was afraid of fighting.
Su Honghui in this world, relying on his intelligence, as well as his relationship with the snake spirit and Li Cunxi's persuasion, climbed step by step to the position of Grand Commander of Yingzhou Guard.
He is also considered a great general in the court, and few can match him.
"This Su Honghui is indeed a capable person."
"Preventing things before they happen, and making the Turkic prince Helu afraid to send troops before they could react, is indeed an extraordinary ability."
Lu Dayou tilted his head to read the urgent report and commented calmly.
"I discovered his talent a long time ago, but he hasn't shown much yet."
"If you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely be able to see more of his talents."
Li Cunxi lowered the curtain, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"How far is it to Luoyang, Shadow?"
Outside the curtain, a shadow came up on a tall horse and said:
"It's probably about three days' journey. I have already sent the inner guards back to the Divine Capital Luoyang in advance to inform His Majesty of our whereabouts."
