Xiao Heng didn't hesitate any longer, lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt on the ground, and said solemnly: "The troubled times have come, whether the northwest is ruined or not, it is all in the mind of the adult, my uncle said that the only one who can take on the important task of the survival and safety of the three northwestern realms is the governor!" ”

Zhu Lingyue let out an "oh", Xiao Heng had already continued: "My lord Wu Shuangquan, this is already a well-known thing in the world, Chu Huan tried to take advantage of the chaos, and he must not be allowed to make waves in the northwest, now that the Jinhe Erzhou in Xiguan has raised troops to resist Chu Huan's tyranny, my uncle only hopes that the adults can come forward and suppress Chu Huan!" ”

"Suppress Chu Huan?" Zhu Lingyue said lightly: "How to calm down?" Chu Huan and Ben Du are both governors, could it be that Ben Du said a few words casually, he would listen to Ben Du? ”

"If he really doesn't know what to do, then fight!" Xiao Heng said in a deep voice: "Chu Huan is a yellow-haired son, don't let him hurt, he really thinks he is a character." ”

Zhu Lingyue smiled dumbly and said, "Fight? Fu Xu smiled and said: "Nephew Xiao, are you feverish and confused, if this governor goes to fight Chu Huan, wouldn't it be equivalent to rebellion?" ”

Xiao Heng shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten Qu Chuli's rebellion?" ”

"Qu Chuli?" Zhu Lingyue frowned.

"During the Dahua Dynasty, Qu Chuli led his troops to rebel, he started from the northern Xinjiang, ran rampant, and finally rebelled and captured the capital." Xiao Heng stared at Zhu Lingyue's eyes and said slowly: "This has caused the disputes among the heroes, how similar is Chu Huan today to Qu Chuli back then, and he is also in full swing to exclude dissidents, such a scourge, even a late-born junior like Xiao Heng can see it clearly, can't adults see it clearly?" ”

Zhu Lingyue stroked his beard lightly and remained silent.

"Chu Huan has already given birth to a disaster, my lord is a great hero, do you want to sit back and wait for Chu Huan to give birth to a greater disaster." The corners of Xiao Heng's eyes twitched, "Once he sits big, it will be a great misfortune for the entire northwest, and when the time comes, the people in the northwest will be ruined...... Only by eliminating the scourge is invisible that the people will be saved from disaster! ”

Zhu Lingyue sighed: "In that case, why did Governor Xiao sit still? ”

Xiao Heng smiled bitterly: "My lord should know that my uncle's prestige is very different from that of my lord, if he makes a rash move, I am afraid that it will backfire, only if my lord waves his arms, the northwest will follow like a cloud, and my uncle will definitely raise troops to follow." After a pause, he sneered: "If the entire northwest is against Chu Huan, how can he stay, if he wants to stay, the imperial court will not stay." ”

Zhu Lingyue said with a smile: "In this way, Governor Xiao also has a lot of opinions about Chu Huan?" ”

"Indeed!" Xiao Heng said: "When my uncle sent my little nephew here, he was already preparing for battle in Beishan, as long as the adult gave an order, the Beishan army would definitely obey the dispatch of the adult!" ”

"At the behest of the Governor?" Zhu Lingyue laughed and said: "Governor Xiao likes to joke, he is the Governor of Beishan, why do you need to obey the dispatch of this governor!" ”

"Uncle said that he is from the northwest, and when he is in danger, the northwest must unite as one." Xiao Heng explained: "Your Excellency is the banner of the Northwest, the real King of the Northwest, and the three provinces of the Northwest should all obey the dispatch of the Governor." My lord, in times of crisis, the heavens have a great responsibility, and I also ask the Governor to think about the people and take on a great responsibility! ”

Zhu Lingyue just smiled faintly and did not speak.

Seeing this, Xiao Heng was about to speak, but Zhu Lingyue had already raised his hand to stop him: "That's it, what you said, this governor has already understood." You go back and tell Governor Xiao that the Governor is very grateful that he can look down on him, but Governor Xiao is highly respected, and he claims that his prestige is not high, that is just a humble statement, you tell him that the Governor respects him very much, and he raises his arms and shouts, even if others should not, the Governor will follow Governor Xiao and support Sheji! Beckoning, the soldier who was leading the horse for Zhu Lingyue not far away immediately led the horse over, and without waiting for Xiao Heng to say more, Zhu Lingyue turned over on the horse, held the reins of the horse, turned his head to look at Xiao Heng, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of good horses here, if Xiao Shi's nephew has something to look at, just choose a few to go back." "Say no more, pat the horse and leave.

Of course, Chu Huan couldn't have known that Xiao Huanzhang had sent Xiao Heng to see Zhu Lingyue secretly.

Iron Horse Jingozhi, he has embarked on the road to quelling the chaos.

He had never been so majestic, and his nearly 20,000 troops set off from Shuoquan and marched straight to Hezhou.

Chu Huan actually felt very relaxed, with 20,000 soldiers and horses, he always had a feeling that this was taking nearly 20,000 people to fight, he put on the wolf armor helmet he got from Xiliang, this rare set of armor was put on his body, Chu Huan even felt that this set of armor seemed to be made by God specifically for him, and it was extremely suitable for the body.

The thunder fire unicorn under the crotch also seemed to sense the coming of the war, and it seemed extremely excited, and on the way to the march, it snorted from time to time, and the horses around him did not dare to approach easily.

Although Chu Huan did not set off at the first time, he made the deployment of the war as soon as possible.

The war is fought with money and grain, but what Chu Huan lacks most now is actually money and grain, fortunately, there is a certain amount of military food in Pingxi Juntun, and the gentry of Shuoquan, under the leadership of the seven surnames of Xiguan, in order to support the governor of Chu to fight the first battle of the rebellion, but also donated a part of the grain, of course, this part of the grain is registered in the government, Chu Huan said very clearly, this is the government borrowed grain, and the grain owed will definitely be returned with one stone.

Most of the gentry didn't care about such words, and when Dongfang Xin was there, he forcibly levied money and grain many times, which was also to put down the words, and once the rebellion was successful, he would compensate everyone.

Now that Dongfang Xin is dead, the money and food that was looted away will of course not be able to come back.

Originally, Xuanyuan Sheng took the initiative to ask for help in this time, but Chu Huan went out in person, and he had to send a signal that the governor of Xiguan would not tolerate rebellion.

Fang Rushui was ordered by Xuanyuan Shengcai to go to Jiazhou, thinking that it would not be easy to collect military power, but the truth was much easier than imagined, Fang Rushui successfully collected military power, Jiazhou military affairs had just been handled, and the people sent by Chu Huan had already arrived, and a battalion of men and horses were transferred from Jiazhou and brought back to Shuoquan by Fang Rushui.

After the arrival of a battalion of men and horses brought back by Fang Rushui, Shuoquan's strength has reached five battalions, which is already nearly 30,000 troops, Shuoquan is the capital of Xiguan, a strategic place, and Xixia Mountain is nervously making salt, Chu Huan of course could not transfer all the troops of Shuoquan in Yuezhou to the front line, leaving two battalions of men and horses, and Xuanyuan Shengcai stayed in Shuoquan in case of accidents.

Now that Xiguan is in turmoil, even Chu Huan does not dare to guarantee that after he sets out on the expedition, no one will suddenly attack Shuoquan City.

The recruits trained by Pei Ji are not yet mature, but they are still led by Pei Ji to follow Chu Huan on the expedition, for real soldiers, real training is on the battlefield.

In addition to Pei Ji, Fang Rushui and Han Ying also went with them.

Chu Huan is not very proficient in the method of marching, but there is Pei Ji by his side, which is naturally easy to solve, the army is divided into the front army, the army and the rear army, each with a general, Fang Rushui serves as the general of the front army, and the general of the rear army is served by Han Ying, Chu Huan is the general of the whole army, but he is also the general of the army, sitting in the army, under the command of each general, there are few generals and generals, and if the fire, the team, the flag and others are rewarded and punished, under the guidance of Pei Ji, Chu Huan also ordered them one by one, he must bow down to everything, everything is in order with the assistance of Pei Ji, and the head is the way.

The generals went out this time, led by Chu Huan, many people were skeptical at the beginning, many people doubted whether Chu Huan really had the talent to command the army, and there was no bottom in their hearts, and some people even suspected that Chu Huan personally went out to fight, just to show off his majesty, but seeing that Chu Huan arranged it in a good way, understated it, arranged thoughtfully, and had the style of a general, they all increased their confidence.

The wind and sand in the northwest are big, and the wind and sand in Yuezhou are really not small, it seems that God deliberately wants to test Chu Huan's perseverance and give him a problem, halfway through the march, there will be continuous gloomy weather, the wind and sand are protruding, it is difficult to see clearly a few miles away, and the vision is blurred, which adds great difficulty to the march.

Chu Huan knows very well that the rebellion in Jinhe Erzhou is a rebellion that he must pacify, this battle is very important, once he fails, he will definitely have no place in Xiguan, although he led nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses this time, and the strength is above the rebels, but he knows that the rebels have now taken Hezhou City, although Hezhou City is not as large as Shuoquan City, but it is not a small city, once the army arrives, with the strength of the rebels, it is impossible to go out of the city to face the battle, the greatest possibility can only be to close the door and hold on to the city.

The march is more than a few days, and the place of garrison selected every day is told to Chu Huan by Pei Ji, and Chu Huan then orders the whole army, but this garrison has a lot of exquisiteness, Chu Huan used to get the military book about the military formation presented by Pei Ji, and now he is following him, marching in actual combat, and absorbing Pei Ji's teachings.

"The most important thing about sending troops to quell the rebellion this time is only four words." Under the night, the sky and the earth were dark, the wind and sand were like a ghost howling, Chu Huan and several important generals of the army were holding a military meeting in the camp, Pei Ji looked calm, pointed to the military map spread on the table, and said in a slow voice: "The battle is decided, this battle must be ended in the shortest possible time, otherwise it will be very disadvantageous to us!" ”

"Mr. Pei's words are naturally not wrong." Han Ying said solemnly: "But I have also heard of Hu Zongmao, the general of the Xunzi battalion, about his temperament, although this person is indecisive, but he is cautious and does not dare to take risks easily...... According to my estimate, he will not have any other choice this time, but to gather all his troops in Hezhou City and hold the city to the death. ”

Fang Rushui also nodded slowly: "This is inevitable, he will not risk going out of the city for a decisive battle, and he will not even lay an ambush to attack us." We know him very well, he also knows us a lot, our grain and grass is not enough to support for too long, and he knows very well that there is not much grain and grass in Xiguan, our logistics is the biggest problem at the moment, he knows in his heart that as long as he can hold on to Hezhou City, when our grain and grass are exhausted and morale is low, he will win! ”

"It's not just a matter of food and grass." Pei Ji stroked his beard and said: "The most important thing is the issue of people's hearts, if the battle is decided, all kinds of forces in Xiguan will not dare to act rashly, but once it is consumed in Hezhou, the longer the time, the more unimaginable the consequences will be...... He glanced at Chu Huan and said, "Chu Du, if you want to see us defeated, there are a lot of people!" ”
