For Zhu Lingyue, Shuoquan's dispatch of troops would not have much impact on the battle.

Twenty miles to the west of Hezhou City, there is the Tianshan Army Camp. The tents are continuous, and the sky and the earth are vast. The camp is like a winding dragon, crawling on the vast land.

When Shuoquan sent troops, nearly [-] soldiers and horses from Zhu Lingyue had already set up camp outside Hezhou City, and did not immediately launch an attack on Hezhou City.

Zhu Lingyue rode a horse and stood on a high slope. He was wearing armor. The sun was shining brightly, but his armor was cold, but his heart was full of warmth.

He has experienced too much forbearance and experienced countless storms, but today he can finally raise his arms, and his subordinates are full of elite soldiers. This is the result of his many years of forbearance.

He is a person who can see through opportunities, and he is also very clear that God will give everyone opportunities, but not everyone can see the opportunities coming, and not many people can firmly grasp the opportunities.

He is a man who is keenly aware of opportunities and seizes them immediately.

The world is already in chaos. Although the empire has been established for more than 20 years, compared with the long river of history, even 200 years is just a flick of a finger, let alone 20 years.

The Great Qin Empire has been established for more than 20 years. Although it has laid down a large country through the Southern Expedition and the Northern War, 20 years of time are not enough to make a huge empire really as stable as Mount Tai.

If the emperor can really work hard to rule, if there is a successor who is not inferior to the current emperor to consolidate the Great Qin Dynasty, the Great Qin Empire may really be stabilized and stand on the land of the Central Plains.

But in fact, the founding king of the Great Qin Empire hadn't stabilized the country he had conquered, so he began to spend the second half of his life squandering the hard work of the first half of his life.

When the foundation of the empire was still shaking, the emperor did not stabilize it. On the contrary, he was obsessed with cultivating Taoism, which made the foundation of the empire looser. Zhu Lingyue knew that the foundation of the Great Qin Empire was completely empty at this point. The building is still standing on the land of the Central Plains, but he knows that the collapse of the empire is only a blink of an eye.

In the vast land, who is in charge of the ups and downs?

There was a faint smile on the corner of Zhu Lingyue's mouth. His thoughts seemed to have returned to the period before the founding of the Qin State, when the world was full of blood and rain, and he could fight a bloody path in the blood and rain. The last person standing on the corpse will be the master of this thousand li country.

Looking at the gold and iron horses under his command, Zhu Lingyue felt a little proud in his heart. He worked hard for many years, not just for this day.

Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while, and use them for a while, and you will be invincible.

By Zhu Lingyue's side, following the generals of Tianshan Mountain, all the generals followed Zhu Lingyue, looking at Hezhou City in the distance, with different expressions, but without exception, in their eyes, Hezhou City was just an easy prey for them.

The counties to the west of Hezhou have all been easily breached by the Tianshan Army. Xiguan’s forces are weak, and most of them are in the Gobi. With too much strategic effect, Pei Ji did not deploy too many troops in the counties in the west, and the main force was concentrated in Hezhou City.

Facing the absolute strength of the Tianshan Army, they can only rely on Hezhou City to fight the Tianshan Army.

For the generals of the Tianshan Mountains, if they want to conquer the world and seize the northwest first, they will follow Zhu Lingyue to fight for the world. When the great cause is achieved, they will be the heroes of the founding of the country. Just an obstacle.

"Zhu Du, Hezhou City is right in front of us. Shall we take this city as soon as possible?" Zhu Lingyue's top general, Hou Jingang, took the reins of his horse and looked at Hezhou City, his eyes sparkling. !"

When the other generals heard Hou Jingang's words, they immediately called for a fight.

Zhu Lingyue was not in a hurry, and said calmly: "Siege is the first thing to do. Since ancient times, siege is the most taboo. It is not a last resort, so don't attack lightly."

"Not attacking the city?" The generals were startled.

"Attacking the city is the bottom line, and attacking the heart is the top priority." Zhu Lingyue held the horsewhip and said slowly: "If you can defeat the enemy's soldiers without fighting, that is the best strategy...!"

Hou Jingang couldn't help but said: "Surrender without fighting? Zhu Du, although this is the best result, but looking at the posture of Hezhou City, they don't seem to have any intention of surrendering, so how can they surrender without fighting?" Soldiers?"

Zhu Lingyue smiled indifferently, staring at Hezhou City in the distance, "The governor has already sent people to Hezhou City. Anyway, this is the first fortified city we want to attack. We must pay attention first and then fight."

The generals were relieved when they heard the words, but they didn't feel that the people sent by Zhu Lingyue could really convince the Hezhou defender.

A little black in the distance gradually approached, and after a while, he rode down the slope, dismounted from his horse, walked up the slope, and shouted: "Cavalry Zhu Du, General Gan Hougan of the Northwest Army has arrived at the camp!"

The generals in Tianshan looked at each other, but Zhu Lingyue smiled slightly, turned the horse's head, shook the rein, the horse galloped down like an arrow off the string, and then imagined the Tianshan army camp like a sharp arrow.

Marquis Gan was waiting in the big tent of the Chinese army. Zhu Lingyue hadn't entered the tent yet, but the voice had already come in first: "General Gan is here, and the scorpion is shining. Zhu has been missing him so much!"

Marquis Gan just brought two followers, all in armor. When Zhu Lingyue entered the tent, Marquis Gan got up, clasped his hands and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhu, I'm the first to arrive here, you are a step late!"

Zhu Lingyue stepped forward and held Marquis Gan's arm, and said with a smile: "It should be punished, it should be punished, it's my fault, I didn't expect General Gan... Well, no, it should be my in-laws, I didn't expect my in-laws to march so fast, otherwise I should The troops should be dispatched a few days earlier."

After the two sat down, Marquis Gan asked with a smile: "Zhu Du, I wonder if Yujiao has caused you any trouble?"

"With an elder brother like a tiger like an in-law, how can Yujiao be weaker than others?" Zhu Lingyue sighed: "My Zhu family was able to marry Yujiao because of the good deeds of my ancestors. Don't worry about my in-laws. If Yujiao enters my Zhu family, she will marry her." It's my Zhu family, and my Zhu family will definitely treat them well."

Gan Hou said with a smile: "Yujiao has been in the army for many years. She is unruly and self-willed. As an older brother, I really can't control her. Zhu Du, I will trouble you to discipline her a lot from now on. If there is something wrong with her, Zhu Du will ask for more help." be magnanimous!"

Zhu Lingyue waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's irrelevant, it's irrelevant, the in-laws can rest assured." After a pause, he asked: "I heard that the in-laws occupied Huichuan City of Jinzhou and left soldiers and horses to garrison it? From this point of view, Jinzhou Fang Rushui did not abandon the dark side to the bright side, I sent people to Lanyi in advance to persuade Fang Rushui to submit to his in-laws and join forces, but now it seems that Fang Rushui is going to be buried with Chu Huan!"

"Fang Rushui is just a third-rate general, nothing to mention." Ganhou said lightly, "It's just that Lanyi is surrounded by natural dangers. It will take time to take down Lanyi City. Why should I waste time on Lanyi? Bypassing Lanyi Hey, go straight to Hezhou, occupy Huichuan, leave [-] soldiers to guard Huichuan, and then intercept Fang Rushui's troops. Chu Huan's main force, Fang Rushui, no matter how stupid he is, he can only surrender!"

Zhu Lingyue clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Just now I was talking to all the generals about defeating the enemy without fighting, and what the in-laws do is the essence of defeating the enemy without fighting."

"Fang Rushui's troops, don't worry, just leave it to Huichuan." Marquis Gan leaned forward slightly, and asked, "Zhu Du, my [-] soldiers and horses have already deployed in Fuguiling, waiting for Zhu Du's dispatch at any time." , but I don’t know how Zhu Du plans to attack the city next?”

Zhu Lingyue said with a smile: "Actually, Hezhou City is not in a hurry to capture it!"

"Oh?" Marquis Gan frowned slightly, but he understood immediately, "Do you mean to wait for Chu Huan's soldiers to arrive?"

Zhu Lingyue said in admiration: "The parents who gave birth to me know me as well as General Gan. It's true that Hezhou is flat and flat, which is the most suitable for cavalry to play. On the contrary, Yuezhou has many mountains and mountains, so it is not suitable to give full play to the advantages of cavalry. Hezhou City is close in front of you. If we attack Hezhou, Chu Huan will naturally not be able to sit idly by, and will definitely lead his troops to rush to help. At that time, all Xiguan troops will gather in Hezhou. I will join hands with the general to complete the battle. As long as Chu Huan's main force is wiped out in Hezhou, Shuoquan can naturally be broken through easily."

Marquis Gan nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "What Zhu Du said is very true, everything depends on Zhu Du's commander."

When Marquis Gan and Zhu Lingyue had a happy conversation, the guard Han Ying in Hezhou City was receiving the envoy sent by Zhu Lingyue at this time. With a strong force behind him to rely on, the envoy was proud of himself and held his head high.

"Zhu Lingyue wants us to leave the city and surrender?" Han Ying asked with a smile, "Did your Excellency make a mistake?"

"Of course not!" The envoy said loudly, "General Han, the [-] troops are just outside the city. I'm afraid you have already seen that most of the defenders in Zhu Dunian and Hezhou City are from the Northwest, and there are many people in the city. , if the war breaks out, the lives will be ruined, so let me come to persuade the general. The general should also be a person who understands righteousness. In this war, who is right and who is wrong, does the general not understand in his heart?"

"I really don't understand." Han Ying rubbed his chin and asked, "I would like to ask Your Excellency, who is right?"

"Chu Huan is rebellious, he supports his troops and respects himself, and his intention of rebellion is obvious. Can't the general see it?" The envoy said in a deep voice, "The general follows Chu Huan, do you want to conspire with him too?"

"Rebellion?" Han Ying laughed and said, "I've heard this word a lot recently, but it seems that Zhu Lingyue was the one who rebelled, not the governor of Chu. Speaking of self-respect, everyone in the world knows that Zhu Lingyue has expanded his army and prepared for war for many years. It’s no secret, this time Zhu Lingyue led his troops to invade Xiguan brazenly, it’s already a rebellion, Your Excellency has turned black and white, do you really think that the eyes of the world are blind?”

The envoy shook his head and said: "The general seems to have misunderstood it. On the contrary, Zhu Du's sending troops this time is precisely to wipe out the rebels and put down Chu Huan's rebels. It is really absurd to raise troops to rebel!"

"Oh?" Han Ying leaned on the chair and asked, "But I don't know what evidence you have for saying that Chu Du rebelled?"
