Ganhou said indifferently: "Since we have come to this point, we must talk about it. There is still room for bargaining in business, let alone such a big event!"

Pei Ji turned around and said with a smile, "So, General Gan is willing to consider my suggestion?"

"General, this... people go to the city, we have killed and injured so many people, let them go like this, I'm afraid the brothers will not accept it." A general beside him couldn't help it.

Marquis Gan glanced at that general, with a cold look in his eyes, that general did not dare to say much.

"Two days!" Marquis Gan finally said after pondering for a while.

Pei Ji looked at Marquis Gan, although Marquis Gan said it strangely, but Pei Ji was so shrewd that he understood the meaning of Marquis Gan's words, "Four days!"

"There is no room for bargaining." Marquis Gan said slowly, "Two days is already the maximum limit. If Your Excellency cannot accept it, there is nothing I can do about it. There is always an explanation from Zhu Du, and I will give you two days , It is also because among the soldiers guarding the city, many of them were former brothers of the Northwest Army, and I didn’t want to kill them all, but war is war, and there is no mercy!”

Except for a few people who responded quickly, the other generals couldn't understand for a while.

Pei Ji pondered for a while, and finally said: "Since the general accepts, then you and I will each make a concession, within three days!"

Marquis Gan thought for a while, and finally said: "That's three days. After leaving the city, you only have three days. Once the time is over, I will not make any guarantees!"

"From You o'clock tomorrow night, our troops will withdraw."

"Then it will start from You hour." Gan Hou said: "At You hour three days later, the agreement will end, and I will not make any guarantees about what kind of situation we will face at that time!"

"The general is a famous general in the Northwest, and he keeps his promises. Although he never tires of cheating, the general will not break the agreement he made, and he will keep his promise!" Pei Ji cupped his hands, "If that's the case, we will leave through the east gate tomorrow night , but they will send someone to open the north gate, and the general can lead his army into the city before Zhu Lingyue!"

When Pei Ji led Qin Lei to remove the big tent, the generals looked at each other, and one of the generals couldn't help asking softly: "General, do we really want them to leave?"

"He's right. If we forcefully attack the city, even if we finally win Hezhou City, we will suffer heavy losses." Ganhou shook his head and said, "I don't want too many casualties among my brothers here!"

"The three days that the general agreed with him, are you giving him three days to evacuate?" The general who understood the meaning asked cautiously, "We won't attack them within three days?"

Ganhou nodded, "If you want to win the city without bloodshed, and let them hand over Hezhou City willingly, there are always conditions."

"But... what will Zhu Lingyue think?" A general said: "We have reached an agreement with the Xiguan Army here, Zhu Lingyue...will Zhu Lingyue be dissatisfied with us?"

A general next to him immediately said: "We are the Northwest Army, not the Tianshan Army, and the general is not Zhu Lingyue's subordinates. Do we need to ask Zhu Lingyue for instructions? The general is doing this to save us from dying."

"General, the defenders in the city are almost all infantry. It takes five or six days, let alone three days, to reach Shuoquan from Hezhou City. It is impossible to reach Shuoquan on foot." A general said: "Zhu Lingyue The Heifeng rode back and forth like the wind, and the speed was extremely fast, once they started chasing them, they would have caught up before they reached Shuoquan...!"

"That's not something we should think about." Marquis Gan stroked his beard, stood up, and said, "Bei Ma, I was going to see Zhu Lingyue!"

It was midnight when Marquis Gan rushed to the tent of the Tianshan army. The tent where Zhu Lingyue was located was brightly lit, and Zhu Lingyue was well dressed. He seemed to know that Marquis Gan would come and did not rest. Instead, he held a book in the big tent and flipped through it. When Marquis Gan came in, Zhu Lingyue put down the book and said with a smile, "It's so late, why did my in-laws come all night? Could it be that there is some urgent military situation?"

Marquis Gan sat down beside him, someone had already brought some tea, Marquis Gan picked up his teacup, drank half a cup of tea in one gulp, and said straight to the point: "Zhu Du, someone from Hezhou City has gone to my camp!"

With a smile on his face, Zhu Lingyue didn't seem surprised. He raised his finger and pointed at the refreshments, "Dear family, these are made by the army cook I brought from Tianshan Mountain. These refreshments are pretty good. It's so late, and the relatives must not have any." Eat something, taste a few pieces first, let's talk slowly if you have something to say." Loudly: "Come here, and serve a cup of tea for General Gan!"

Marquis Gan waved his hand and said: "I'm a rough person, I drink a lot of alcohol and eat meat, but I'm not used to these delicate snacks."

"Drinking a lot of alcohol and eating a lot of meat is what a bold man does." Zhu Lingyue laughed, and then asked: "My in-laws said that someone from Hezhou City went to your camp? Could it be that they knew that we were going to besiege the city, and that they couldn't hold on any longer? , so go out of the city to beg for surrender?"

Marquis Gan laughed and said, "Director Zhu is like a god. That's right, they just sent people to beg for surrender!"

Zhu Lingyue smiled and said: "The strategy of besieging the city is what my in-laws thought. It seems that this strategy is certainly effective." After a pause, he asked: "Of course they won't surrender easily. Do you have any conditions?"

"Two conditions!" Marquis Gan said, "First, after we enter the city, we must not harm any common people in the city!"

"It's natural." Zhu Lingyue said seriously: "Even if they don't mention such a condition, we won't hurt the people in the city. We want to eradicate Chu Huan. The people in the city are only troubled by Chu Huan. Not only can we not hurt them, but we should do better. Calm down."

Marquis Gan nodded and said: "I think so too. After entering the city, both the Northwest Army and the Tianshan Army must issue military orders. Not only can they not hurt people, they can't seize the property of the people in the city. Anyone who violates the order will be severely punished." !"

"The city has set military rules for entering the city. Anyone who violates the military rules must be punished severely." Zhu Lingyue nodded slightly, "In-laws, they put forward two conditions. What is the other condition?"

"They can hand over Hezhou City, but the defenders in the city have to leave the city, and within three days, they cannot launch any attacks on them." Ganhou said.

Zhu Lingyue frowned at first, but soon relaxed his brows, and asked with a smile: "How did the in-laws answer?"

"I have already agreed to their request." Marquis Gan said, "Originally I only gave them two days, but in the end it was limited to three days. They will leave the city tomorrow night."

"Oh?"

"Zhu Du, I promise them, you won't have any objection?" Gan Hou said with a smile: "Before I agreed to them, I made some calculations in my mind and felt that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I didn't hesitate too much."

Zhu Lingyue still asked with a smile: "The in-laws said this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

"There is no need to sacrifice the lives of soldiers. It is naturally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture Hezhou City." Ganhou said, "We haven't captured Hezhou City yet, and we have already suffered a lot of casualties. If we really break through the city, Fighting bloody battles with them in the city, I'm afraid there will be no small price to pay."

Zhu Lingyue nodded slightly, but did not speak.

"The most important thing is that we can take this opportunity to truly annihilate the defenders of Hezhou City in one fell swoop!" Marquis Gan said in a cold voice, "If this army is annihilated, the morale of Chu Huan will be greatly reduced. The army has attacked Shuoquan and captured the surrounding area of ​​Xiguan, just around the corner!"

"Annihilate the defenders of Hezhou?" Zhu Lingyue leaned forward, his voice was low, "Dear family, you mean we should take advantage of the opportunity to annihilate them outside the city while they are leaving the city?"

Marquis Gan was stunned, and asked back in astonishment, "Does Zhu Du want to launch an attack when they leave the city?"

Zhu Lingyue hurriedly said: "Of course not. Since the in-laws have an agreement with them, if we don't keep our promises, wouldn't it damage the reputation of our in-laws? What's more, we are teachers of righteousness, so of course we can't just keep our promises."

Gan Hou said with a smile: "What Zhu Du said is that since we have an agreement with them, if we attack them while they are out of the city and spread the word, it will have an impact on our reputation... But I have already saved a hand, and I can discipline them. Hezhou City cannot enter Shuoquan City. Zhu Du, I only gave them three days. At that time, I thought about it in my heart. They are mainly infantry. Even if they are running, they can only enter Yuezhou in three days. The territory...!" After a glance, I saw a map hanging in the corner of the tent, got up, and walked to the edge of the map. This is the topographic map of the three northwest regions, very detailed, and the prefectures and counties of the three northwest regions are all on it. That is, even the topography of mountains, rivers and rivers is outlined.

Seeing this, Zhu Lingyue also got up, walked to the side, put his hands behind his back, and stared at the map.

Marquis Gan found the location of Hezhou City on the map, and was not in a hurry to speak. He followed Hezhou City all the way to the east, stopped quickly, glanced at Zhu Lingyue, and said: "Look, Governor Zhu, after the defenders leave the city , Within three days, according to my estimation, they should only be able to reach this place." Draw a circle in his hand, "They have been fighting for several days, they are already exhausted, the marching speed will never be too fast, and it is impossible If you have been marching, you will inevitably have a little rest. Moreover, the official road to the east of Hezhou City was severely damaged by the Xiliang people. Although Chu Huan sent people to repair the official road in Xiguan, the road has not been successfully repaired, and a large area belongs to the The roads in the Gobi area are very difficult, and according to my experience, even if they retreat with all their strength, they can only reach this area in three days!"

Zhu Lingyue stared at the area painted by Marquis Gan, and muttered to himself: "This is the area around Qingyuan Racecourse!"...

"That's right, the location they arrived at should be near the Qingyuan Racecourse." Ganhou's eyes lit up, "The Qingyuan Racecourse is within a radius of dozens of miles, all grasslands, a flat river, Zhu Du, do you think this is a Great opportunity?"

Zhu Lingyue stroked his long beard, thoughtfully, "If they are really at the Qingyuan Racecourse, they will be looking for a dead end, it is the most suitable place for cavalry combat... In-laws, do you think they will really go in that direction? "

"From Hezhou City to Shuoquan, the nearest road can only pass through Qingyuan Racecourse. On the road from Hezhou City to Qingyuan Racecourse, there are only two places that can barely be called defensive places. One is Heyang County, but Heyang County was severely damaged by the Xiliang people at the beginning. Before the Xiliang people withdrew their troops, they set fire to Heyang County, burned countless houses, and the city walls collapsed. There has been no money to rebuild it. Now it is only It was refurbished casually, and it was a dangerous city. Since the Hezhou defenders left Hezhou City and retreated, they would never retreat to Heyang City. No matter how stupid a person is, it is impossible to make such a choice."

"What the in-laws said is very true." Zhu Lingyue nodded and said: "This kind of situation is absolutely impossible. If they really use Heyang City to defend, we can break through in less than a day."

"Except for Heyang City, only twenty or thirty miles to the east is Rabbit Ridge." Ganhou said seriously, "Rabbit Ridge is only about ten miles in radius. It's not a steep place, it's just a small hill. Compared to Heyang City, Heyang City still has a city wall, and Rabbit Ridge is just some grass and dead vines. Our army is several times larger than them. If they stayed in Rabbit Ridge, it would be easier for us to wipe them out. Around Rabbit Ridge."

"Then is it possible for them to turn north or south?" Zhu Lingyue looked serious.

"Not to mention that they can't find help from south to north, and we won't let them go in other directions." Gan Hou sneered, "Zhu Du, although I promised not to attack them within three days, I will not attack them." It didn't say that the troops could not stay still for three days. Zhu Du's cavalry could be divided into three groups, with the north and south wings preventing them from turning to other places, and the middle one followed behind. We are like shepherds, and they are like our stockers. and drove them eastward...!"

"The governor understands!" Zhu Lingyue's eyes lit up, "If we leave the city, we can't let them go. We will keep our promise not to attack them within three days, but we can block their other routes to prevent them from dispersing and fleeing. Their other roads are blocked, forcing them to march eastward. Three days later, when they arrive at the Qingyuan Racecourse, they can immediately attack them. I have [-] Heifeng riding in front and the infantry behind. Annihilate them all in the Qingyuan Racecourse area!"

Ganhou nodded with a smile and said: "That's what it means. Not only can we take Hezhou City without bloodshed, but we can also find an opportunity to wipe them all out. This is a great opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Since they have such an opportunity, how can we not accept it? "—
