Chu Huan nodded slightly. Of course he understood this truth. Looking back now, if Marquis Gan's Northwest Army hadn't made a surprise attack from behind and turned against them, the Xiguan Army would have faced annihilation, not to mention victory.

"Actually, we have been thinking about any way to lure Zhu Lingyue's Tianshan army out of Tianshan." Pei Ji said solemnly: "If Zhu Lingyue is not eliminated, the northwest will never be peaceful, but getting rid of Zhu Lingyue is by no means such a simple matter. If he really has been nesting in Tianshan, taking every step of the way, the second brother may not be his opponent at all."

Chu Huan nodded and said, "He has a lot of troops, and he has enough money and food. I have also thought about it myself. If he eats away at every step, I really have nothing to do with him."

"To completely annihilate him, there is only one way, and that is to lure him out of the Tianshan Mountains and fight a decisive battle with him." Pei Ji said slowly: "It is better to fight early than late, and decisive battle is worse than a small battle."

Chu Huan stroked his chin, and said thoughtfully: "Zhu Lingyue was able to come out of Tianshan Mountain, of course because of his confidence in his own strength, and another extremely important reason is because of Marquis Gan. I think he has not acted rashly for a long time. Not necessarily because of me, but because of Marquis Gan's Northwest Army."

"Yes, this is very important." Pei Ji smiled and said: "Before he understood Ganhou's thoughts, Zhu Lingyue was indeed scruples about the Northwest Army, so if you want him to come out of Tianshan to fight you, the most important point is Let him no longer use the Northwest Army as a pressure. Even so, Marquis Gan cannot take the initiative to show favor to Zhu Lingyue. Zhu Lingyue has a suspicious personality. Impatient...!" Then he smiled and stroked his beard and said, "The second younger brother went to Yanmen Pass, but it is quite important, which made Zhu Lingyue even more anxious, thinking that the second younger brother is trying to win over Marquis Gan, if the second younger brother and Marquis Gan Even if Zhu Lingyue cannot get rid of him if we join forces with the Northwest Army, it will be extremely difficult for Zhu Lingyue to plot against the Northwest."

Chu Huan immediately said: "So Zhu Lingyue didn't want to be outdone, and immediately sent someone to contact Marquis Gan. As far as he is concerned, even if Marquis Gan doesn't help him, as long as Marquis Gan doesn't form an alliance with me, it will be considered a success."

Pei Ji smiled and said, "Exactly, Marquis Gan is still racking his brains on how to get close to Zhu Lingyue. Now that Zhu Lingyue took the initiative to come to the door, it is naturally what he wanted, and Zhu Lingyue proposed to marry Marquis Gan. The meaning behind it is self-evident. Yu!"

"Marriage may not be true, perhaps Zhu Lingyue's main purpose is to take Gan Yujiao as a hostage." Chu Huan's expression became serious: "Since Zhu Lingyue intends to win over Marquis Gan, of course he has investigated the situation of Marquis Gan very clearly. Of course, I also understand that the only relative of Marquis Gan in this world is Gan Yujiao, as long as Marquis Gan agrees to send his only relative to Tianshan to marry the Zhu family, then the alliance between the Zhu and Gan families will have a solid foundation."

"That's true." Pei Ji sighed, "Of course Marquis Gan also knows Zhu Lingyue's purpose. Of course he knows that once Gan Yujiao is sent to Tianshan, she will be Zhu Lingyue's hostage. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and only in this way can Zhu Lingyue be trusted, he didn't hesitate too much, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, he finally agreed to Zhu Lingyue's request."

"So, so...!" Chu Huan said with a wry smile: "After Gan Yujiao learned about this marriage, she didn't know the inside story. She really thought that Marquis Gan was trying to cling to Zhu Lingyue. This girl has a strong temper, so she came here alone. Shuoquan told me about this marriage, of course she also knew that Zhu Lingyue and Ganhou formed an alliance with the purpose of dealing with me, so she came here specially to remind me to pay attention."

Pei Ji stared at Chu Huan, and said, "Actually, this was beyond our expectations. We didn't expect Gan Yujiao to go to Shuoquan secretly...Although Gan Hou found out that Gan Yujiao was missing, he didn't expect her to look for you. After all, you and Gan Yujiao has only met once... but the second brother is very personable, maybe Miss Gan has a good impression of you after seeing you for the first time...!"

Chu Huan was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Brother was joking, maybe Miss Gan hates Zhu Lingyue. In her eyes, since Zhu Lingyue is not a good person, I am a good person if I oppose Zhu Lingyue...!"

"That's not necessarily the case." Pei Ji smiled and said, "If you were just a good person in her eyes, she wouldn't go to Shuoquan to find you alone...!"

Chu Huan smiled wryly and said, "I just don't know how she is now...Brother, she was able to leave Shuoquan and marry to Tianshan willingly. Naturally, she also knows the reason, so she is willing to sacrifice herself?"

The smile on Pei Ji's face disappeared, and he nodded slightly: "It's a matter of great importance. The marriage with Zhu Lingyue is a matter of the overall situation. There must be no mistakes, otherwise all plans will be in vain." Looking at Chu Huan, showing a trace of With a look of guilt, he said: "I went to find Gan Yujiao without telling you, I can't help you, I just hope you don't blame me."

"Brother is also for the overall situation, so I don't blame him." Chu Huan said.

Pei Ji nodded, and then continued: "I found Gan Yujiao and told her the ins and outs. She didn't believe that she was also from the 36 Fang family, but she also knew Ganhou's temperament very well. She knew that Ganhou was not a follower. The marriage of the Zhu family is very strange, so I still have doubts. I just told her that if she wants to confirm this matter, she can go back to the Northwest Camp and look for Marquis Gan. Marquis Gan will tell her all the secrets. "

Chu Huan understood: "Later she was sent to Tianshan Mountain from the Northwest Camp, of course she already knew the real purpose of this marriage from Marquis Gan."

"Yes." Pei Ji nodded and said, "Although she didn't know anything about Taiping Dao before, and she didn't know that her family is the source of Taiping that has been passed down for hundreds of years, but as a member of the 36 Fang family , when the time comes to stand up, there should be no hesitation. The Zhu Gan family's marriage is settled, Zhu Lingyue certainly does not know the real purpose of Marquis Gan, and it is even more impossible for him to think that Marquis Gan will be a member of the 36 Fang family. one of the members."

Chu Huan sighed: "Don't talk about Zhu Lingyue, even I can't think of it. If it wasn't for your explanation, brother, I still can't believe why Ganhou would defect. I thought about it before, but I really couldn't think of Ganhou turning his back on Zhu Lingyue. I only understand now that Zhu Lingyue was kept in the dark from the very beginning, and so was I..."

"I know that my second brother is feeling a little uncomfortable." Pei Ji smiled wryly, "Before implementing the plan, I thought twice about whether to tell you the truth, but... after much deliberation, I decided to hide it from my second brother for the time being." Good brother, I will tell you the whole thing after the overall situation is settled."

Chu Huan said: "Brother, if you tell me earlier, maybe I can help."

Pei Ji said solemnly: "Second brother, speaking from the heart, if you knew in advance that I was a Taiping Daoist, what would you think? Since the Yellow Turban, Taiping Dao has been suppressed by the imperial courts of all dynasties. In the eyes of many people, the way of Taiping is to make trouble out of nothing, just for fear that the world will not be chaotic...!" Shaking his head with a wry smile, he said, "I know that my second brother has a deep affection for me. Woolen cloth?"

Chu Huan opened his mouth, but no words came out.

"Furthermore, the decisive battle with Zhu Lingyue, even though it was carefully planned, will inevitably require a real bloody battle in the end." Pei Ji said solemnly: "If the second brother doesn't know about this plan in advance, then he will be able to truly implement the plan." The whole army of Xiguan has the momentum of the second brother, as long as the second brother has the determination to fight to the death, the whole army of Xiguan will be able to fight the enemy together and fight to the end."

Chu Huan nodded slightly, glanced around, and asked: "Brother sent a letter to tell me that he wants me to garrison the Qingyuan Racecourse, so he was already ready to fight Zhu Lingyue at the Qingyuan Racecourse?"

"Yes." Pei Ji said: "The Battle of Hezhou was actually part of the plan. Zhu Lingyue married Ganhou and already trusted Ganhou, but this person is suspicious and may not completely trust Ganhou. The army was fighting under the city of Hezhou, so it is naturally impossible for Zhu Lingyue to have any doubts about Marquis Gan. Moreover, after the Hezhou defenders supported for several days, after retreating, Zhu Lingyue would still feel underestimating the enemy. We will definitely seize the opportunity and eagerly engage in a decisive battle with the Xiguan Army, and drawing out the Tianshan Army to fight a decisive battle with them is also our ultimate goal." After a pause, he said solemnly: "Actually, this is also a dangerous move by soldiers. If Zhu Lingyue breaks the agreement and launches an attack while the Hezhou defenders are retreating, the consequences will be disastrous."

"That's true." Chu Huan thought about it, and felt chills in his heart, "It's also fortunate that Zhu Lingyue didn't act rashly, otherwise...!"

Pei Ji stood up slowly, leaning on a wooden stick, raised his finger to the Qingyuan Racecourse, and said, "Second brother, look, the Qingyuan Racecourse is flat, which is very suitable for cavalry to attack. Since Zhu Lingyue knew that we would come here, he must also think about it." He wants to fight us here. The more anxious he is to fight us, the better it will be for us, and the Xiguan Army is here, and there is no way to retreat... The second brother has read military books, do you still remember those days? Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, led his army to attack Zhao State? The Zhao army was ten times larger than the Han army. Han Xin lined up with his back to die and survived. This made all his soldiers die and fight to the death. The Xiguan army wanted to defeat the mighty Tianshan army. It is also necessary to fight back, put it to death and survive, drag the Tianshan army down, and let the Tianshan army completely fall into the bloody battle with the Xiguan army. The Tianshan army cannot be resisted, it will collapse at the first touch, and it will not last long, and the Tianshan army cannot be defeated just by relying on the Northwest Army's rebellion."

At this moment, Chu Huan finally fully understood Pei Ji's meticulous arrangement. The victory of this decisive battle was certainly due to Pei Ji's meticulous arrangement, but it was also because of the desperate fight of the Xiguan Army. Zhu Lingyue had Marquis Gan as his ally. Coupled with the large number of people under his command, he has the heart of a decisive battle. Seeing that the Xiguan Army is exhausted and chooses a decisive battle at the racecourse, he is even more eager to seek a decisive battle to get rid of Chu Huan once and for all, but he does not know that all of this is under Pei Ji's control.
