    ?

    Tian Zhang waited outside for half a quarter of an hour.

    Huo Xin walked out from inside.

    "Where is Your Highness?" Huo Xin looked calm, without any hatred or anger at all, as if the people inside had nothing to do with him.

    "follow me."

    Tian Zhang walked forward with Huo Xin.

    Come to a military tent on the right.

    "Your Highness is here!"

    Tian Zhang went in and said something, and then Huo Xin walked in.

    Zhou Heng glanced at Huo Xin.

    "The general is here. I've been looking forward to the general's arrival for the past few days. I really can't wait to see through." Zhou Heng greeted Huo Xin with a smile. It sounded like they were friends, but Huo Xin knew that they could only be enemies.

    "Thank you, Your Highness."

    Huo Xin saluted and thanked Zhou Heng.

    "Thank you? Am I right? Are we enemies?" Zhou Heng seemed a little shocked by Huo Xin's actions, as if he didn't understand why Huo Xin thanked himself.

    "It is true that we are enemies, but what I am grateful for is that you set up a mourning hall for the Marshal."

    Huo Xin said, what Zhou Heng said was right, they were enemies, and he wished to cut Zhou Heng into pieces, but he still had to thank him for what he should be grateful for.

    "A trivial matter is not worth mentioning, and the marshal is also someone I admire."

    Zhou Heng waved his hand and said disapprovingly, as if he had done an insignificant thing, but to Zhou Heng, Zhu Houde's death was indeed insignificant.

    "I don't know what your Highness is waiting for me to come over?"

    Huo Xin asked, Zhou Heng said just now that he was looking forward to seeing him, so he must have something to say to him.

    "I want the place west of the Taihang Mountains!"

    Zhou Heng also tried, without beating around the bush, and directly stated his request.

    "impossible."

    Huo Xin firmly replied that the area to the west of Taihang Mountain is the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, how could it be given to Da Zhou? This is absolutely impossible.

    There is no room for negotiation on this matter.

    "Then you can't take Zhu Houde's body away."

    Zhou Heng also said something to Huo Xin that was not discussed.

    Zhou Heng first asked Huo Xin to mourn Zhu Houde's mourning hall, just waiting for this moment.

    "Your Highness, why are you so deceptive!" Huo Xin felt that Zhou Heng's move was too deceitful. He clearly knew that Zhu Houde had a great influence on the Southern Tang Dynasty, so he said such words on purpose.

    "This is not deception, this is a bargaining chip!"

    Zhou Heng said.

    After hearing what Zhou Heng said, Huo Xin was stunned for a while, Zhou Heng was right, this was not a bully, it was a bargaining chip, Zhu Houde had great influence on Nan Tang, Zhu Houde was Zhou Heng's bargaining chip.

    "If so, we will have a showdown."

    Huo Xin gritted his teeth and said.

    Zhou Heng smiled after hearing Huo Xin's words.

    "General, I was joking. I'm afraid you, General, don't believe what you said. Zhu Houde died, and Southern Tang lost 100,000 troops. In addition, Southern Tang is now in civil strife. Do you think the court will support you in fighting?"

    Zhou Heng asked back.

    Huo Xin was speechless, Zhou Heng was right, every word Zhou Heng said hit the point.

    The merchants of the Great Zhou Dynasty withdrew from the Southern Tang Dynasty and no longer did business with the Southern Tang Dynasty. As a result, the people in the Southern Tang Dynasty are now complaining.

    Now that Zhu Houde is dead, and the imperial court has lost one hundred thousand troops, the battle of the Southern Tang Dynasty has already been shattered, and I am afraid that he will be unable to fight again.

    "Let me say a bad word, you Nantang lost this battle, completely defeated."

    Zhou Heng said with a smile.

    "It was just an accident!"

    Huo Xin said unwillingly, Huo Xin felt that this time was an accident, and the defeat of Nantang was simply because of Zhou Heng's sudden appearance. If Zhou Kai was here, how could they have lost the battle.

    "It wasn't an accident, even if it wasn't me, the Southern Tang would still be defeated. The war was not just a whim, but a long-term plan. The Southern Tang sent troops to my Great Zhou, and you didn't have any plans at all. Seeing my Great Zhou and the Northern Wei fight  , and conquered Xiyi, thinking that our Dazhou army was weakened, and felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it."

    "You want to take this opportunity to defeat me, Da Zhou. You are acting on a whim. A war without a plan and preparation is bound to be defeated."

    Zhou Heng explained to Huo Xin.

    The Southern Tang sent troops, nothing more thanHe won the conquest of Xiyi by the Great Zhou Dynasty, thinking that he had no time to take care of the left and right, and wanted to take advantage of the fire to loot, but Nantang's calculation was wrong.

    The reckless dispatch of troops laid the foundation for Southern Tang's defeat.

    ?And to determine the outcome of a war, it is not only the strength of the army, but also other factors. The court, the people, and the merchants are all factors that determine victory or defeat.

    ?The imperial court is united as one, and the whole country is united as one, which is also a kind of strength.

    For example, this time, Zhou Heng borrowed the power of the merchant, and it was precisely because of the power of the merchant that the defeat of Southern Tang was accelerated.

    Huo Xin was speechless by Zhou Heng's words, and he didn't know how to answer Zhou Heng's question. Could it be that, as Zhou Heng said, it was because they raised their troops at a time without any preparation?

    "Even if it is as you said."

    Huo Xin nodded, as if agreeing with Zhou Heng's point of view.

    "So winners and losers, the weak have no right to speak, and the right to speak is always in the hands of the winners. Everyone knows this."

    Zhou Heng said to Huo Xin.

    Zhou Heng's meaning is also obvious, he is going to decide on the place west of Taihang Mountain, and Nantang has no room for negotiation on this matter.

    If Nan Tang disagreed, Zhou Heng would take it directly.

    It is so strong.

    "Your Highness, can you do this? Let me tell you, I am a traitor in the Southern Tang Dynasty in your Zhou Dynasty, and you return the marshal's body to me!" Huo Xin began to negotiate conditions with Zhou Heng.

    After hearing what Huo Xin said, Zhou Heng looked at Huo Xin for a while.

    Zhou Heng smiled.

    "Hahahahahaha!" Zhou Heng even laughed out loud. Huo Xin couldn't understand the reason for Zhou Heng's laugh, and Huo Xin was stunned.

    "Why is Your Highness laughing?"

    Huo Xin asked.

    "I laugh that the general regards Zhou Heng as a fool, but I am not a fool. How can a mere traitor compare with the land of Taihang Mountain!"

    Zhou Heng replied.

    Zhou Heng really didn't expect that Huo Xin would say such a thing, it may be caused by his incoherent speech because he was forced to rush.

    If all the land west of Taihang Mountain belongs to Dazhou, then Dazhou will no longer be intruded by the Southern Tang Dynasty in the future, Dazhou will be much more comfortable, and future generations will be peaceful.

    How does a mere traitor compare with Da Zhou Jiye? These two things are completely incomparable.

    "Don't His Highness hate this traitor?" Huo Xin asked Zhou Heng again.

    "Hate, but traitors can't be eradicated. Ming people don't say dark words. Southern Tang should have planted a lot of traitors and spies in my Great Zhou. So in my Zhou Heng's eyes, one more is not too much, and one less is not much. General  Still needless to say!"

    Zhou Heng waved his hands and replied with a smile.

    It is nothing more than a traitor, in Zhou Heng's eyes, it is completely dispensable, and as long as you give yourself time, you can find it yourself, so why should you exchange it with you.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
