Chapter 298: Choice (2)
"I found two people today in order to ask General Xu for a plea." After a while, Lu Dingsheng finally took the lead in breaking the dull atmosphere.
"If you always have something to do, just give me instructions." Xu Haifeng's heart flashed countless thoughts in his mind, but he decided in a blink of an eye that no matter what conditions this old man proposed, as long as he has the ability to do it, he must agree immediately.
The Lu family's energy in the northwest is definitely more than anyone imagined. The uncrowned king of the Great Northwest can stand for decades, which is enough to prove his own ability.
Such a person must not be easily enemies with him.
"Okay, I'll just say it." Lu Dingsheng put down the wine glass, his face looked extremely solemn: "In the battle of Taiyuan, I wonder what you two think?"
After exchanging eyes, the pair of partners with great tacit understanding smiled at the same time, and Xu Haifeng said loudly: "It's up to 55% to 55% at most."
Lu Dingsheng's eyes flashed, and his tone seemed a little hesitant: "The land of Taiyuan, a thousand miles of plains, is the combat terrain that the Huns like the most. I wonder why the two of them have so much confidence in the Cheng family?"
Xu Haifeng shook his head gently, instead of answering his question, he asked back, "So what if it's your opinion?"
Lu Dingsheng twisted his beard and said for a long time: "The number of five or five."
Xu Haifeng was shocked. If we were to judge the terrain, the Huns had really taken a great advantage and their cavalry would have the greatest advantage and combat effectiveness in Taiyuan.
In comparison, both the Cheng family's private soldiers and the remnants of the three major legions were obviously inferior to the Golden Wolf Army of the Huns. Generally speaking, the balance of victory was tilted towards the Huns.
However, in the hands of the Cheng family, he still holds an ace, a trump card that can change the entire battle situation. If he uses it ingeniously, it will cause unimaginable damage to the Huns. It is precisely because of this treasure that he thought that the ending of both sides was 55.
However, Lu Dingsheng didn't know why he was so sure, which made him a little puzzled.
Little did they know that at this time, the knowledgeable old man was also suspicious.
Although Xu Haifeng did not answer him, as long as he heard his answer with such affirmative and unhesitating answer, he knew that he was full of confidence in the Cheng family.
Just by this sentence, Lu Dingsheng was sure that Xu Haifeng and others must have hidden something from him, or that something shameful happened outside his intelligence network.
However, he was old and since they didn't say it, they naturally wouldn't ask.
"I am so sure that it is for the two."
“You mean…”
"Brother Cheng Xuanfeng, Cheng and Gu Daoyan Gu Daoyan." The old man said softly.
"So what happened to the two of them?" Jiang Kongming, who was silent on the side, suddenly asked.
"I just trust Brother Cheng's vision and Marshal Gu's wisdom." The old man glanced at him and explained faintly.
"Thirty years ago, Gu Daoyan was just a hundred people in the Cheng family's private soldiers. His talent was just like that, and his practice in martial arts was just like that. There were many people in the Cheng family who were dazzling than him. However, at this time, he met Brother Cheng."
There was infinite remembrance in the old man's voice, as if he had thought of his past experiences: "It was because Brother Cheng's keen eye to recognize heroes that he gave him a chance to prove himself. And the ancient Taoist beard did not disappoint Brother Cheng's expectations, from a hundred people to a long rise to a world-renowned reputation and a top-notch official."
"I can trust the two of them." The old man said at last.
It turns out that in the old man's mind, the status of these two people is so heavy. They are almost so heavy that they can control his judgment and confidence.
Xu Haifeng sighed: "You have said so much, but I don't know what the purpose is?"
The old general reached out and raised his glass, looked at the slightly turbid wine inside, and said, "I am waiting for the outcome of the Battle of Taiyuan."
Xu and Jiang immediately understood what he meant.
The result of the Battle of Taiyuan was not only the matter between the Cheng family and the Xiongnu, but even the Wolong City, which was thousands of miles away, would be deeply affected.
If the Huns win in this battle, the Han Dynasty will be in danger.
However, if the Cheng family is the winner, then I am afraid that the next day, Lu Dingsheng will lead the crowd to swear allegiance to Cheng Xuanfeng.
The reputation of the Cheng family will spread throughout the Han Dynasty, and they will easily accept all the land occupied by the Huns. The Cheng family will be the undisputed first in the world.
At that time, as long as Liu Zhengting dies accidentally, the world will really have another master.
However, Lu Dingsheng said this question openly in front of them, which was really beyond their expectations.
For them, the Cheng family was a huge threat no less than the Huns. After Lu Dingsheng had this idea, wasn't he afraid that he and others would be honest?
As if seeing through the doubts in their hearts, Lu Dingsheng smiled and said, "You two have also seen Xiao Sunlu Tongzhou, so what do you think he is?"
"The future of the general's tiger is unlimited." Xu Haifeng said seriously.
"I have always been stubborn. When the heroes are rising, what he is optimistic about is not the Huns and the Cheng family."
Xu Haifeng felt something in his heart and said, "So which one does Brother Lu look forward to?"
The old man's eyes moved to Xu Haifeng's face, stared at his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "He is optimistic that it is you - General Xu."
Xu Haifeng looked at him calmly and said righteously: "I have been in love with Brother Lu."
The old man withdrew his gaze and said slowly: "The young man has his own set of opinions. Now that I can still make a living in the world, I can still make a living with him, but in a few years, it will be his world."
Lu Dingsheng's words were filled with sadness and sentimentality. In the face of time, he was just an ordinary old man.
Whether you have a net worth of tens of millions or a person who is not a polite person, you cannot avoid the coming of death. The only difference is sooner or later.
"If the Cheng family wins in the battle of Taiyuan, there is no need to mention it anymore. However, if the Cheng family loses, I will retreat immediately. All the affairs of the clan will be given to Xiao Sun and will not interfere again." The old general's words actually had a sharp sound, which shows that he was quite excited at this time.
"Okay..." Xu Haifeng looked at him and said slowly: "You old man, Xu understands what you mean. If you can get Brother Lu's strong help, Xu will never dare to do such a treacherous thing in the future."
"I am grateful to you for being able to get the general's promise." Lu Dingsheng smiled with relief and bowed deeply to him in the car.
Seeing the carriage gradually fading away, Jiang Kongming suddenly sneered: "This old man has made a plan for his wishful thinking. He has made second-hand preparations. No matter how things change, he will leave a way out. Hehe... his heart is devastated."
"oh?"
"This old fox has long seen that the Liu family's energy has been exhausted. Among the Han people, there are only two families who hope to compete for the Central Plains, either the Cheng family or us. He chose to say this at this time to show his kindness, hum... He deserves to be an old monster who has lived for more than 80 years."
Xu Haifeng smiled slightly and said, "No matter what, this is always good news. The 20,000 soldiers of the Lu family are truly elite troops." His tone was full of strong confidence, as if these 20,000 people were already in their own pocket.
"Well, lord, this time, you must take action yourself." Jiang Kongming nodded.
With a slight smile, although Xu Haifeng had not spoken, a strong fighting spirit suddenly burst out from his body. The thick fighting spirit that was as solid as the essence could even Jiang Kongming, who was not good at martial arts, could clearly feel it.
After a while, Jiang Kongming suddenly sighed deeply and shook his feather fan. A few wisps of hot wind blew across his clothes, bringing a faint chill, but it couldn't take away the irritability in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Xu Haifeng looked back at him in surprise. He had known him for several years and rarely saw him sighing like this.
Jiang Kongming shook his head and slowly spit out a name from his mouth: "Gu Daoyan."
"Master Gu? What's wrong with him?" Xu Haifeng became increasingly puzzled.
A murderous intent suddenly flashed across Jiang Kongming's face: "This person cannot be kept."
After listening to Lu Dingsheng's evaluation of Gu Daoyan, Jiang Kongming felt a little chill inexplicably.
If we look at it from a erudition, no one in the world can surpass Jiang Kongming. If we had a face-to-face conversation, Jiang Kongming, who had the superb skills of mind reading, would naturally not be inferior to anyone.
But on the battlefield, he, a newcomer, was indeed unable to compare with Gu Daoyan, a veteran in the battlefield who came up from a low-level general step by step.
Just like in the battle last night, if he had not mastered Bancroft's every move in advance, he would not have set up a fire trap, nor would he have taken the enemy's camp and seized countless supplies.
That battle was actually the first battle he commanded the army and was just starting out.
Whether it is pre-war layout or adaptability, he is quite far from Gu Daoyan.
This has nothing to do with wisdom, it is purely a gap in experience, and even Jiang Kongming cannot catch up in the short term.
If the Black Flag Army meets the Cheng family battlefield in the future, then this person will definitely be the biggest threat.
Jiang Kongming looked up at the sky, but he did not lose confidence, because people would make progress. Even though he was not as good as the ancient Taoist beard at this time, it did not mean that he would not be able to surpass him in the future.
What's more... a sneer came from the corner of Jiang Kongming's mouth, and it fell into Xu Haifeng's eyes, and he knew what he had figured out again.
"No matter how powerful the Gu Daoyan is, he is just an ordinary person." The smile on Jiang Kongming's face gradually turned into disdain: "Our greatest reliance is the Black Flag Army, which is a terrifying army that exceeds the limits of human beings."
At this moment, he was full of confidence. As long as the Black Flag Army rode the horse flat, there would be no one in the world who could resist. Even his ancient beard would not do it.
