Zhu Lingyue finally put down the scroll in his hand, but his expression looked very calm. He glanced at the generals in front of him, all of whom were his trusted generals. He smiled lightly and asked, "You want to enter the city too?"

Hou Jingang said: "Zhu Du, the Northwest Army has entered the city, why don't we enter? We attacked Hezhou and lost thousands of troops. Now that the city has been taken, are we still outside the city as spectators?"

"The reason why Marquis Gan enters the city is very simple, because the city already belongs to him." Zhu Lingyue held up the teacup on the case. He was a scholar, not as vulgar as a general, but very cultivated. He took a sip of tea before putting it down Chazhan said, "And there is no need for us to enter the city. Our real goal is Shuoquan, not Hezhou!"

"Hezhou City is his?" Hou Jingang was stunned, and the other generals were also puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Zhu Du, how did this city become his? U... When did we agree?"

Zhu Lingyue said calmly: "You guys are all the confidantes of the governor, and you will know some things sooner or later, and the governor will not hide it from you." After a pause, he glanced at the generals, and then asked: "Can you ZhidàoWhy is Marquis Gan willing to marry Ben Du?"

The generals looked at each other in blank dismay, although everyone in the Northwest already knew that Marquis Gan and Zhu Lingyue were married, but there were not many people among them.

Most people think that because of Zhu Lingyue's strength, Marquis Gan's speculation with Zhu Lingyue is nothing more than taking advantage of this opportunity to gain great benefits, but no one knows what kind of benefits Zhu Lingyue promised.

Seeing that the generals were silent, Zhu Lingyue said calmly: "Jinzhou and Hezhou will be the fiefdoms of Marquis Gan, controlled by the Northwest Army, and the salt produced in Hezhou in the future will also belong to Marquis Gan!"

All the generals were taken aback when they heard this.

"Zhu Du, Marquis Gan wants Jinzhou and Hezhou?" Hou Jingang said immediately: "Although Jinzhou is barren, there are alluvial gold, and Hezhou also has many people who can produce salt... If he is dedicated to serving Zhu Du, that's fine. With two hearts...!"

Zhu Lingyue said with a smile: "Ganhou's thoughts, especially the governor, can understand. He has 36 to [-] Northwest Army under his command. Although they are all capable of recruiting and fighting, but the logistics are weak. Today's imperial court is no longer imperial court. Frontier soldiers, not to mention military pay, even rations, can't get a grain from the court, and if [-] Wubao reclaims wasteland by itself, the grain they grow is not enough to support their consumption!"

"So Ganhou Lion opened his mouth and asked Zhu Du for the land of the two states?"

"If there is no benefit, how can Marquis Gan form an alliance with us, and how can he be willing to betroth his younger sister to my Zhu family?" Zhu Lingyue smiled and said: "At the beginning, the governor was afraid that he would not speak. It’s easy to say. You also know that the Governor has always been worried that Chu Huan will marry Ganhou. If so, it would be too difficult for us to annex Xiguan... So as long as Ganhou is willing to form an alliance with us, not to mention the two states, he will If you want to go to Xiguan, the governor may not think about it."

All the generals were astonished.

"You don't have to have such an expression." Zhu Lingyue said slowly: "Gan Hou is a warrior. Although he has experienced generals under his command, he has no management skills. Xiguan would rather be in his hands than to be in his hands. Can't be in Chu Huan's hands...!" There was a sly look in his eyes: "Compared to Chu Huan, Marquis Gan is much easier to deal with."

Hou Jingang took two steps forward, and said in a low voice, "Zhu Du, if the Jinhe Erzhou is really handed over to Ganhou at that time, when they are fed, will they...!"

"I know what you mean." Zhu Lingyue said with a smile: "You are afraid of getting rid of Chu Huan, and another Marquis Gan will come out. After all, the Northwest Army under his command is not easy to deal with. You can rest assured about this, even if you really will Jinhe Erzhou is handed over to Marquis Gan, he wants to be full, and he will not be successful in a few years, but in a few years, it is enough for us to do a lot of things." After a pause, his eyes showed a stern look: "Pingding After the Northwest, it is natural to enter the pass to suppress thieves, and of course the Northwest Army of Marquis Gan must enter the pass."

"Send troops to enter the customs?" A general behind Hou Jingang couldn't help but said: "Zhu Du, now Ganhou is willing to get rid of Chu Huan with us in order to get Jinhe Erzhou, but once he gets what he wants, Will he still obey Zhu Du's general order? If he refuses to send troops at that time, so what?"

"That's not easy to do. It's fine to be obedient. If you don't obey, you will be treason. At that time, not only Chu Huan has been eliminated, but Beishan is also in our hands. He is only two states, but Zhu Du has Tianshan and Beishan, plus Jiazhou and Yuezhou in Xiguan, and Kyushu in the northwest, we control the seven states, how can Marquis Gan be our opponent?" Hou Jingang seemed to understand, and sneered: "Zhu Du, Yimo In the future, I am afraid that Marquis Gan really just wants to be a local rich man, occupying Jinhe Erzhou to eat his stomach. He should also understand that with his strength, not to mention competing for the world, he just wants to gain a foothold in the Northwest. It also depends on Zhu Du's eyes, that's why I married my sister to Tianshan...!"

A general next to him immediately said: "That's right, Zhu Du, Marquis Gan's younger sister married the third master, so if it's in our hands...!" Before he finished speaking, Zhu Lingyue frowned , Zhidào himself spoke too plainly, there are some things that everyone can understand in their hearts, but they can't be put on the table naked, and hurriedly changed their words: "Well, the third lady is from the Zhu family, so naturally she wants to protect the interests of the Zhu family. It is said that Ganhou is in this world, and now there is only the third wife as a relative. When the third wife gives birth to a boy and a half girl in the future, Ganhou will be the uncle... For the sake of the third wife and the young son, the general thinks that Ganhou will also be I will do my best to serve Zhu Du."

Only then did Zhu Lingyue open his eyebrows slightly, stroked his beard and said: "Before getting married, the governor has carefully investigated. Marquis Gan is very caring for the third wife. The two of them depend on each other for life. The relationship between brother and sister is very deep. Marquis Gan is also considered a man of temperament. For the sake of the third wife, he can do anything, so even if Jinhe Erzhou is temporarily handed over to Marquis Gan as a fiefdom, as long as the third wife is there, Marquis Gan will definitely serve the governor! "

Everyone listened to Zhu Lingyue's words, and their solemn expressions eased. A more thoughtful general thought about it for a while, and said in a low voice: "Zhu Du, since Marquis Gan is so fond of the third lady, we must guarantee that The third lady is absolutely safe. The last general is only worried that Chu Huan will send people to the city when he sees Marquis Gan and our allied forces, and he will send people to the city, which will be bad for the third lady...!"

Of course Zhu Lingyue understood what this general meant.

Gan Yujiao was in Mingsha City, waiting for Zhu Lingyue to hold the trump card. This trump card can completely restrain Ganhou. As long as Gan Yujiao is in hand, Ganhou can only obey.

Marquis Gan proposed to use Jinhe Erzhou as the place of support for the Northwest Army, and also proposed the need for food, grass and equipment to solve the urgent needs. Zhu Lingyue agreed to all these without blinking an eye, and only asked for the marriage of the two families, because he knew very well that there were With Gan Yujiao in hand, that is a command talisman that can dispatch Marquis Gan.

"The governor has sent people led by Gu Tingshou to protect the family members in the city, especially the third wife. The governor has ordered Gu Tingshou to ensure the safety of the third wife. If there is a mistake in the third wife, the governor will not be able to report Marquis Gan, explain." Zhu Lingyue supported his long beard and said with a smile, "Are you in a hurry to enter the city now?"

Gu Tingshou is the leader of the Anti-Crafting Hall, which is composed of some strangers from all corners of the country. Hearing what Zhu Lingyue said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhu Du, since this Hezhou City was awarded by Zhu Du to Marquis Gan, let him have a good time." All the generals felt relaxed at this moment, "We won't join in the fun."

But Hou Jingang clenched his fists and said: "Zhu Du, the Xiguan army is retreating. If the cavalry take advantage of the situation and kill them, they will be wiped out in one fell swoop. It's a pity that this is a great opportunity...!"

"Don't be in a hurry!" Zhu Lingyue said slowly: "In order to take Hezhou City as soon as possible, Ganhou reached an agreement with the Xiguan Army. , we will give him this face. After three days, it is time to show our skills."

Zhu Lingyue had seen the power of the Xiliang iron cavalry before, and knew that in the northwest land, the lethality of the cavalry was really powerful, so in the past few years, almost all his energy was put on the construction of the cavalry corps, investing a lot of manpower, financial resources and With material resources, he finally has a powerful iron cavalry that looks down on the northwest. Although he doesn't show his emotions, he is extremely looking forward to his powerful iron cavalry showing its powerful combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

He has nearly [-] black wind cavalry under him, who have been trained for a long time, but due to the environment, although he has sent some to suppress the thieves and rioters in the Tianshan Mountains, but the real battlefield has not had a chance to be used. The battle of Xiguan tested the actual combat ability of the Black Wind Cavalry.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "Report, there is an urgent report!"

"Come in!"

A soldier quickly entered the tent, knelt on the ground, and said: "My lord, Chu Huan led the army and arrived at the Qingyuan Racecourse a few days ago. After arriving at the Qingyuan Racecourse, they did not continue to march."

All the generals tensed up, and Hou Jingang asked, "You mean that Chu Huan has brought troops to help?"

"They marched very quickly at the beginning, but when they reached the Qingyuan Racecourse, they set up camp there and did not continue marching." The visitor reported: "They cut down trees and built fortifications, as if to defend the Qingyuan Racecourse...! "

All the generals looked at each other, Zhu Lingyue frowned, thoughtfully, and asked, "How many troops does he have?"

"There are tens of thousands of people." The visitor reported: "It is found out that they still have thousands of horses."

"That's from the people of Xiliang." Zhu Lingyue said immediately, waved the visitor to retreat, got up, walked to the corner of the big tent, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the map.
