Chu Huan nodded and said: "The governor also knows that once this battle is won, if there are no accidents, the stability of Xiguan will be restored, but once it is defeated...!" Shaking his head with a wry smile: "The situation in Xiguan is probably worse than Xiguan. When the Liang people were around, there was still chaos."

"There are many rogues in Xiguan, and there are dozens of people, big and small." Fang Rushui said with a stern expression, "Quick battle is of course the best result...!" Glancing at Chu Huan, he said: "Chu Du, Hu Zongmao is a cautious person. Now that he has determined his tactics, he will not change easily. I am afraid that he has already seized the time to strengthen the city. There are still a few days away from Hezhou City. We need to make a quick decision and speed up the march... ...!"

Han Ying said solemnly: "The wind and sand in Hezhou have been too strong these two days... If the army marches forward, Hu Zongmao may not set up an ambush... The road we are walking now is all in the Gobi Desert, but if we go further, we will have to go to the Gobi Desert. You will enter the mountain road, Governor Chu, the mountain road is dangerous, you must not take it lightly."

Chu Huan nodded slightly, and asked, "Generals, if Hu Zongmao really sticks to the city, what can you do?"

"If there are enough supplies and we cannot attack by force, the best way is to besiege the city. We don't have much food and grass, and neither will Hu Zongmao's." Han Ying said solemnly: "But the most troublesome thing for us now is that the food and grass can't support us." Too long...!"

"What Han Pianjiang said is true." Fang Rushui clenched his fist and said, "If there is enough time and Chu Du gives me enough time and troops, there will be many ways to take Hezhou City...!" Then he smiled wryly: "But in the future Judging from the current situation, it is not easy to attack Hezhou City, Hezhou City is located in a flat land, our situation, they can see clearly from the top of the city...!"

Chu Huan frowned and said, "So, it's not easy to attack Hezhou City this time?"

Fang Rushui and other generals looked at each other and frowned.

Pei Ji finally said: "Don't forget, Governor Chu, besides Hezhou, there is also Jinzhou, Zhang Shuyan of Jinzhou, and the Genzi Battalion under his command, there are thousands of soldiers and horses, and Jinzhou City and Hezhou City are like horns. The force is enough to attack Hezhou, but if you divide your troops to attack two places, you will not be able to gain the upper hand. The so-called quick battle is not only for Hezhou, Jinzhou must also be defeated quickly. If Hezhou is defeated, Jinzhou is still in the hands of the rebels, and the effect of capturing Hezhou will be greatly reduced...!"[

Fang Rushui immediately said: "Mr. Pei's words are very true. Only take Hezhou. If Jinzhou cannot be taken, the rebel army still has a banner. If we lose troops and generals in Hezhou, and the loss is too heavy, we will go back to fight Jinzhou. Whether it's supplies or troops, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support."

"Of course neither of these two people has the possibility of persuading them to surrender?" Chu Huan's eyes were burning.

Fang Rushui and Han Ying looked at each other, and then Fang Rushui sighed: "I wonder if you still remember Xu Shao?"

Chu Huan nodded.

Xu Shao is a general beside Yu Buqu, and he is highly regarded by Yu Buqu. However, when Chu Huan was in Anyi, he heard that Xu Shao launched a mutiny in Xiguan, which was quickly put down by Zhu Lingyue, and Xu Shao brought some remnants who participated in the rebellion Breaking out, so far unknown whereabouts.

"The governor of Chu knows Xu Shao, so naturally he also knows that Xu Shao is a general beside General Yu." Fang Rushui sighed: "After the formation of the Pingxi Army, Xu Shao was originally the deputy general of the Pingxi Army. After General Yu left, according to the logic, Xu Shao was supposed to succeed General Yu and command the Pingxi Army, but Zhu Lingyue tried his best to protect it, and the position of General Pingxi fell to Dongfangxin in the end."

Chu Huan nodded and said, "Pingxi Army is the strongest army in Northwest China. Of course, Zhu Lingyue doesn't want this army to fall into the hands of others."

"At that time, the situation in the northwest was still very complicated. Zhu Lingyue stomped his feet in the northwest, and the ground would move three times. According to the situation at that time, with General Yu not around, only Zhu Lingyue could control the northwest." Fang Rushui said slowly: "The imperial court also understands this, so in order to appease Zhu Lingyue, the imperial court can only agree to his guarantor, but the Ministry of War also left a hand, with Xu Shao as deputy, in fact, to restrain Dongfang Xin."

Chu Huan understood, and said, "Xu Shao's mutiny must have a reason."

"I really don't know what happened at the moment." Fang Rushui said: "Xu Shao has always been with General Yu, and he is very prestigious in the army. With him as his deputy, Dongfangxin is naturally uncomfortable everywhere, and then suddenly It was reported that Xu Shao's mutiny was reported. Before we figured out what happened, we learned that Xu Shao had led a part of his troops to break through and escape. Today, after Xu Shao's news, and after Xu Shao was forced to leave, Pingxi The army naturally became the world of Dongfangxin's gang, and the two battalion generals stationed in Jinhe Erzhou all came from Tianshan Road, and they were originally subordinate to Zhu Lingyue...!" Bu sneered and said: "If it wasn't for your lord If you go to the post in time, the last general will probably be kicked out of the Pingxi Army."

"What do you mean, is it possible to persuade Hu Zongmao and Zhang Shuyan to surrender?"

"The generals under Zhu Lingyue's command followed Zhu Lingyue through life and death, and they are very loyal." Fang Rushui said: "The one who can let Zhu Lingyue "insert" into the Pingxi Army is a confidant general. Hu and Zhang rebelled, I'm afraid they I don't have the guts yet...!" At this point, she paused, but didn't continue.

Chu Huan frowned slightly. He and Pei Ji had known for a long time that Zhu Lingyue must be behind everything. It's just that Fang Rushui and Han Ying's time with him was too short, and it was inconvenient for Chu Huan to say something to them, but now It seems that they also had this in mind. Knowing that the rebellion in Jinhe Erzhou was related to Zhu Lingyue, Fang Rushui was able to talk about this, which really made Chu Huan quite satisfied, and said with a smile: "Generals, talk here , don’t have any scruples, just speak up if you have something to say...!” He smiled and said: “The governor may as well say it directly, if the two states of Jin and He only rely on themselves, and they don’t have the guts, the governor is a straightforward person, no matter what you say. Look, the governor feels that they have that big backer behind them, so he dares to raise troops to rebel!"

When Chu Huan said this, all the generals present felt a lot more relaxed. The generals spent too little time together, and they didn’t know each other very well, and even though they knew some things well, they didn’t dare to say them out. There is a layer of estrangement. Now that Chu Huan said this, everyone felt a burst of relief. They thought in their hearts that Chu Du had already said it so bluntly, so there was nothing to take care of. Then there is already a huge hidden danger.

Fang Rushui stretched his eyebrows, and immediately said: "Chu Du, that's what the last general meant. Since there is someone behind them to support them, and they have a heart for that person, and they haven't been pushed into a desperate situation, it is impossible for them to have the heart to surrender. As long as the city is not broken , They will never surrender, and it will be too late for us to surrender after the city is broken.”[

Pei Ji calmed down, and suddenly smiled and said: "A strong attack may not be able to win a quick battle, and it is also impossible to persuade surrender, so it can only be solved by wisdom!"

"Wisdom?"

Everyone looked at Pei Ji.

Pei Ji stroked his beard lightly, "I have an idea. Once it goes well, not to mention Hezhou, Jinzhou can also be won overnight...!"

Everyone's eyes lit up. Hearing what Pei Ji said, Chu Huan was pleasantly surprised, and asked, "What's your opinion, Mr. Pei?"

Pei Ji glanced at everyone and smiled slightly.

Hezhou City is the main city of Hezhou. It is not as majestic as Shuoquan City, but it is still a strong city. In fact, the scale of the northwest cities is not grand, but they are all very strong. Hezhou City stands on the land of Yimapingchuan. During the windy and sandy season, the air is very dark with sand and dust floating in it, and the Celestial Eye is covered with a layer of gray gas, like smog.

Hu Zongmao was over [-] years old, and from his appearance, he was a very calm person. At this time, he was wearing armor and patrolling the city. From the day he raised his troops, he knew that Chu Huan could not just sit idly by. I will bring troops.

Hezhou City is now completely under his control. The 5000 troops of the Xunzi Camp have all been stationed in the city. The first thing Hu Zongmao does after he takes control of Hezhou City is to recruit the men in the city and use various methods to strengthen the city. .

Hu Zongmao has loved the art of war since he was a child, but his talent in art of war is not good. Since ancient times, not every general who understands the art of war can become a generation of famous generals. They can gallop across the battlefield and apply what they have learned. , It is very rare for a big wave to wash the sand, and Hu Zongmao's greatest advantage is that he has a very clear understanding of his own abilities.

He is not arrogant, not blindly arrogant, he knows that he is hard to compare with those real famous generals, who can defeat thousands of troops and defeat ten thousand enemies. , he knew that it would be difficult for him to become such an imposing and famous general, but he was unwilling to accomplish everything. Fortunately, he had an expert in his heart that he yearned for.

During the Warring States Period, there were hundreds of schools of thought, and Mohism was unique. Qin Huali, Mozi's great disciple, was famous for defending the city.

War has offense and defense. Sometimes the victory of a war is not just about attack. If you can do a good job of defense, you can also win a war.

Because in Qin Huali, Hu Zongmao studied the art of defending the city meticulously. He was confident that, if not in the whole world, at least among the generals in the Northwest, his city defense must be one of the best.

He has been looking forward to the day when he leads the army to defend the city and become famous all over the world, and the opportunity finally came.

According to what he had learned, he made careful arrangements, actively prepared, recruited a large number of civilians, and worked day and night to raise the city wall by several meters, and built many fortifications at the top of the city.

Outside the city, trenches were also dug and traps were set.

The defense of the city needs supplies. At this time, the defense of the city comes first. Of course, he will not estimate the others. He will send soldiers and horses out of the city every day to search for all the supplies that can be searched.

He needs this battle to become famous all over the world! ——
