Hou Jingang and other generals also followed up and stood behind Zhu Lingyue. Seeing that Zhu Lingyue's eyes were falling on the Qingyuan Racecourse area on the map, they all looked there. Zhu Lingyue didn't speak, and everyone dared not speak.

"What do you guys think?" Zhu Lingyue finally asked.

The generals looked at each other, and Hou Jingang had already said: "Zhu Du, since Chu Huan appeared at the Qingyuan Racecourse, wouldn't it be better? It also saves us from going to Shuoquan to chop off his head."

The general next to him shook his head slightly, and said: "The vicinity of the Qingyuan Racecourse is suitable for cavalry raids, and Chu Huan will not be unaware that the terrain there is the most beneficial for our Tianshan Army... In this case, why did he choose the Qingyuan Racecourse? Garrison in the area?" After a pause, he looked at Zhu Lingyue's back and said, "Zhu Du, is the Chu man playing tricks?"

The other generals also talked in low voices, all in their hearts they were very surprised that Chu Huan's garrison arrived at Qingyuan Racecourse.

Zhu Lingyue had his hands behind his back, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, he was silent for a long time, then his brows suddenly relaxed, and he said with a smile: "The governor understands!"

"What does Zhu Du mean?"

"Before we stormed Hezhou City, Chu Huan must have known that Hezhou City was in danger, but the soldiers and horses in Hezhou City are also the main force of his Xiguan Army, so he can't just sit idly by." Zhu Lingyue raised his hand and stroked his long beard, "He must be dispatching The available soldiers on hand rushed to Hezhou City for reinforcements."

"In this case, why did they stagnate at Qingyuan Racecourse?"

"The reason is very simple, because Chu Huan is not a stupid person." Zhu Lingyue sneered: "When he sent troops, he only wanted to rescue the soldiers and horses in Hezhou City, but when he arrived at Qingyuan Racecourse, he probably understood something."

Hou Jingang didn't understand it yet, so he couldn't help asking, "What does Zhu Du mean?"

"The horse farm, the horse farm, when Chu Huan arrived at the Qingyuan horse farm, he must have thought of my Tianshan Black Wind Rider." Zhu Lingyue turned around and looked at the generals under his command, "He must have woken up at that time, even if he led the army to arrive , not only can’t rescue the defenders in the city, but the tens of thousands of his men might be eaten by us right outside the city.”

Hou Jingang immediately said: "Fortunately, he reined in the precipice. If he really came to the rescue, before he got close to Hezhou City, I, Black Wind Rider, could wipe them out of the city. Morale plummeted, and there was no will to fight anymore."

Zhu Lingyue nodded and said: "Chu Huan obviously knew this. He didn't come to the rescue. The Xiguan Army in the city still has a glimmer of hope to support them in fighting. But once Chu Huan's troops are really wiped out outside the city, The defenders in the city would collapse without a fight, of course Chu Huan understood this, so he did not continue marching."

"Zhu Du, if this is the case, why didn't Chu Huan retreat and still stay at the Qingyuan Racecourse?" Hou Jingang asked suspiciously, "He doesn't mean he wants to wait for us at the Qingyuan Racecourse, does he?"

"He's not waiting for us, but for the defenders who have just withdrawn." Zhu Lingyue said with certainty, "It was a dilemma for Chu Huan when he arrived at the Qingyuan Racecourse. He sent troops from Shuoquan to reinforce Hezhou. After knowing that he can't advance, it is very difficult to retreat. He still has more than ten thousand troops under his command. If he turns around and returns to Shuoquan halfway, it will be tantamount to denying his strategy of sending troops for reinforcements, as well as his own strategic plan. , If this is the case, the blow to the morale of his subordinates will be fatal." Touching his beard: "It would be fine if he planned to stick to Shuoquan City from the beginning, but since he has already sent troops, he can't go back. Of course, the most important point is that there is still a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he still wants to try his best to rescue the Xiguan Army that has withdrawn from Hezhou."

Hou Jingang also understood, "Zhu Du, you mean, he knew that the Hezhou defenders were about to retreat, so he responded at the Qingyuan Racecourse?"

"If it's not what I expected, it should be like this." Zhu Lingyue's eyes flickered, "The governor is still wondering that the defenders in Hezhou have resisted desperately for the past few days. Suddenly they sent someone to reach an agreement with Marquis Gan. Now it seems that the defenders in the city already know Chu Huan's location. They know that there is only one dead end to defend Hezhou City. go."

Hou Jingang looked at the map, nodded and said: "It usually takes two or three days to reach Qingyuan Racecourse from Hezhou City. They asked Ganhou to give them three days. It seems that they really want to go to Qingyuan Racecourse and Chu Huan's troops are converging."

A general at the side said: "There are nearly 3 defenders in Hezhou City, and Chu Huan has [-] soldiers and horses. In this way, Chu Huan wants to use all his strength to fight us? "

"This is already forced and helpless." Hou Jingang said with a sneer, "Chu Huan knows that once Hezhou City falls, we will drive straight into Shuoquan. Our opponent. If he can meet the retreating 3 troops from Hezhou and hold [-] troops, in his opinion, he might still be able to fight us to the death."

"What King Kong said is very reasonable." Zhu Lingyue said: "Chu Huan should have planned this way. He has no way out, so he can only use all his belongings to fight us...!" He smiled, "This It is his only choice at the moment, but it is exactly what the governor wants to see, and the governor does not want to fight another hard battle under Shuoquan City, since this battle is going to be fought, it is naturally best to fight outside the city."

"We only gave them three days, which is only enough for them to meet up at the Qingyuan Racecourse." A general said with a smile, "After the Xiguan Army has gathered, even if we want to return to Shuoquan City, the time is too late, we just happen to be done once and for all , Annihilate all the Xiguan Army at Qingyuan Racecourse, as long as you win the battle at Qingyuan Racecourse, the entire Xiguan will be under Zhu Du's world."

Zhu Lingyue said in a deep voice: "All generals obey orders!"

Several generals cupped their hands at the same time and solemnly said: "The last general is here!"

"Gu Liangchen obeys orders!"

"The end is here!"

Zhu Lingyue looked stern, "The governor ordered you to lead five thousand cavalry. After dawn, set off from the north of Hezhou City, move ten miles north, and then advance towards Qingyuan Racecourse. You must make sure to march with the withdrawn Xiguan Army, but With a distance of ten miles, after the Xiguan army retreated to the Qingyuan Racecourse, a part of the cavalry you led must also stand in front of the north of the Qingyuan Racecourse, is there any doubt?"

"The last general has no doubts, the last general obeys the order!"

Zhu Lingyue nodded, and shouted again: "Where is Di Renjie?"

A general stepped forward and said solemnly: "The end is here!"

"The governor ordered you to lead five thousand cavalry and set off from the south of Hezhou City. The order is the same as that of Gu Liangchen. Keep a distance of ten miles from Xiguan's retreating army. When they arrive at Qingyuan Racecourse, your troops must also wait at the south of Qingyuan Racecourse .”

Di Renjie said awe-inspiringly: "Follow the order!"

"Gu Jingang, Yao Wenyuan, Zhang He!"

"The last general is here!" The three generals came out together.

"This general, Gu Jingang, is the main general, Yao Wenyuan and Zhang He are the deputy generals, commanding [-] cavalry, advancing in the middle, following the withdrawal of Xiguan, keeping a distance of fifteen miles, and waiting for them to attack immediately after they arrive. This Warlord Order!"

"The end will obey orders!"

"Sheng Xuantong, Ming Ji!"

The remaining two generals stepped forward together, cupped their hands and said, "The end is here!"

"The two of you lead the rest of the soldiers and horses, and this general will be the rear line, and then set off."

"Follow the order!"

"Generals, the army is invincible without discipline. This battle is of great importance and there is no sympathy at all. If you violate military discipline, you will never be lightly forgiven, and you will be severely punished." Zhu Lingyue looked awe-inspiring: "Soldiers are impermanent. Impermanence, matters on the battlefield must not be taken lightly, let alone the slightest contempt for the Xiguan Army. Throughout the ages, many defeats in battles have been caused by underestimating the enemy. This Governor does not want such a thing to happen to our Tianshan Army body!"

"The final general will know!" All the generals said in unison.

Zhu Lingyue nodded slightly, "After all the ministries have arrived at the designated positions, no one should act rashly without the order of the governor. If there is anyone who is greedy for merit and wants to do it on his own, he will be killed without mercy. The battle in Xiguan is just one action. Only victory is not allowed, everyone The general must use his life to the death, and if he succeeds, no matter the general or soldier, he will be rewarded, and he will never break his promise!"

Zhu Lingyue used both kindness and power, and the morale of the generals was naturally shaken.

"Zhu Du, then... what about Marquis Gan?" Hou Jingang asked softly.

Zhu Lingyue sighed: "In the battle at the Qingyuan Racecourse, I really don't want the Northwest Army to join in the fun. With our strength, it is enough to swallow Chu Huan. Once the Northwest Army participates in Shuoquan, with the temperament of Marquis Gan, Even if the Northwest Army did not make any military exploits, they will never ask the Governor less for things."

"No wonder they attacked Hezhou City so vigorously, just because Zhu Du granted Hezhou to him." Hou Jingang clenched his fists and said, "I'm afraid that Ganhou's Northwest Army will not be so desperate when we get to Qingyuan Racecourse... When the time comes On the contrary, it affected the morale of our army."

"However, the general feels that with the Northwest Army by his side, even if they don't try their best, they will show the world that Chu Huan is to blame." General Di Renjie said: "The Tianshan Army and the Northwest Army can only implement Chu Huan's plan if they attack at the same time." In the name of rebellion!"

Zhu Lingyue smiled and said: "What Renjie said is very true. If the Northwest Army is really unwilling to work hard, it is still a flag. With this flag, it will also be a blow to the morale of the Xiguan Army."

As soon as the dawn of the next day appeared, the Tianshan military camp had already begun to move, disturbing the calmness of the people. Gu Liangchen and Di Renjie each led [-] cavalry, and took the lead from the military camp. With the sound of horseshoes, two black dragons parted from the Tianshan military camp. For the second, each of them advanced towards the set goals, and people shouted and screamed, and the momentum was quite strong.

After the two cavalry detachments left, the main force of the Tianshan Army had already begun to put away their tents. Shieldmen, swordmen, spearmen, and archers staggered to cover each other. The main force of the formation was led by Zhu Lingyue himself. After loading the grain and supplies, they also started to march eastward.

The Tianshan army marched in an orderly manner. In addition to the cavalry sent out, Zhu Lingyue also left a thousand elite cavalry, swimming on the two wings of Zhu Lingyue's central army.

Riding on the horse, Zhu Lingyue looked up at the sky, the sky was clean, and today seemed to be a good day, he muttered to himself: "Chu Huan, you and I will fight right here. !"
