Chu Huan nodded and said: "This governor also knows that once this battle is won, if nothing else, the restoration of stability in Xiguan is just around the corner, but once it is defeated, ......!" He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The situation in Xiguan is only afraid that it will be even more chaotic than when Xiliang was there." ”

"There are many rogues in Xiguan, and there are dozens of people, big and small." Fang Rushui said with a stern expression: "A quick battle, of course, is the best result......!" He glanced at Chu Huan and said, "Chu Du, Hu Zongmao is a cautious person, since he has determined his tactics, he will not change it easily, but I am afraid that he is already seizing the time to strengthen the city." There are still a few days to go from Hezhou City, we must fight quickly, and we must speed up the march ......! ”

Han Ying said solemnly: "The wind and sand in Hezhou have been too strong in the past two days...... If the army marches rashly, Hu Zongmao may not set up an ambush...... The road we are walking on now is the Gobi Desert, but if we go further, we will enter the mountain road, Chudu, the mountain road is dangerous, and we must not take it lightly. ”

Chu Huan bowed slightly, and asked, "Generals, if Hu Zongmao really sticks to the city, what can you do to deal with it?" ”

"If the supplies are sufficient and the attack cannot be forced, the best way is naturally to besiege the city, we don't have much grain and grass, and Hu Zongmao won't have much grain and grass." Han Yingzheng said: "But the most troublesome thing for us now is that the grain and grass can't last too long......!" ”

"That's what General Han said." Fang Rushui clenched his fists and said: "If there is enough time, Chu Du gives me enough time and troops, and there will be many ways to take Hezhou City ......!" Then he smiled bitterly: "But judging from the current situation, it is not easy to attack Hezhou City, Hezhou City is in a flat land, our situation, they can see it at a glance at the head of the city...... ”

Chu Huan frowned and said, "In this way, it is not easy to attack Hezhou City this time?" ”

Fang Rushui and the other generals looked at each other, and they all frowned.

Pei Ji finally said: "Chu Dumo forgets, in addition to Hezhou, there is also Jinzhou, Zhang Shuyan of Jinzhou, the Genzi battalion under his command, that is also thousands of soldiers and horses, Jinzhou City and Hezhou City are in a horn trend, our troops, used to attack Hezhou, it is okay, but if the troops are divided into two places, it will not have the upper hand, the so-called quick battle, not only for Hezhou, Jinzhou must also be quickly defeated, if Hezhou is defeated, Jinzhou is still in the hands of the rebels, in fact, the effect of capturing Hezhou will be greatly reduced......!" ”

Fang Rushui immediately said: "What Mr. Pei said is very true, only take Hezhou, if Jinzhou can't be taken, this rebel army still has a banner, if we lose troops in Hezhou, the loss is too heavy, and we go back to fight Jinzhou, whether it is materials or troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to support." ”

"Of course there is no possibility of persuasion between these two people?" Chu Huan's eyes burned.

Fang Rushui and Han Ying glanced at each other, and then Fang Rushui had already sighed: "I don't know if you still remember Xu Shao?" ”

Chu Huan nodded.

Xu Shao is the general of Yu Buqu's side, and he is deeply respected by Yu Buqu, but when Chu Huan was in Anyi, he heard that Xu Shao launched a mutiny in Xiguan and was quickly pacified by Zhu Lingyue, and Xu Shao broke out with some of the remnants of the army who participated in the army, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

"Chu Du knows Xu Shao, and naturally knows that Xu Shao is a subordinate general next to General Yu." Fang Rushui sighed: "After the establishment of the Pingxi Army, Xu Shao was originally the deputy general of the Pingxi Army, and after General Yu Lao went, according to reason, it should have been Xu Shao who replaced General Yu and commanded the Pingxi Army, but Zhu Lingyue strongly recommended that the position of the general of Pingxi finally fell to Dongfang Xin's head. ”

Chu Huan nodded and said, "The Pingxi Army is the strongest legion in the northwest, and Zhu Lingyue certainly doesn't want this legion to fall into the hands of others. ”

"At that time, the situation in the northwest was still very complicated, Zhu Lingyue stomped his feet in the northwest, and the ground had to move three times, according to the situation at that time, General Yu was not there, and only Zhu Lingyue could suppress the northwest." Fang Rushui said slowly: "The imperial court also understands this, so in order to appease Zhu Lingyue, the imperial court can only agree to his sponsorship, but the military department also left a hand, with Xu Shao as the deputy, in fact, it is to contain Dongfang Xin." ”

Chu Huan understood and said, "Xu Shao's mutiny, naturally, there is a reason for it. ”

"I really don't know what's going on right now." Fang Rushui said: "Xu Shao has been following General Yu, he is very prestigious in the army, with him as his deputy, Dongfang Xin is naturally uncomfortable everywhere, and then there was a sudden rumor that Xu Shao mutinied, we haven't figured out what happened, we learned that Xu Shao has led a part of the men and horses to break through and escape, to this day, there is no news of Xu Shao, and after Xu Shao was forced to leave, the Pingxi Army naturally became the world of Dongfang Xin's gang, and the two battalions of partial generals stationed in Jinhe Erzhou were all from Tianshan Road, and they were originally subordinate to Zhu Lingyue's subordinates ......! He sneered and sneered: "If it weren't for the timely arrival of the adults, I am afraid that the last general would have been kicked out of the Pingxi Army." ”

"What do you mean, do you mean that it is almost impossible to persuade Hu Zongmao and Zhang Shuyan to surrender?"

"These generals under Zhu Lingyue followed Zhu Lingyue from birth to death, and they are very loyal." Fang Rushui said: "The one who can let Zhu Lingyue be placed in the Pingxi Army is even more of a confidant, Hu and Zhang raised troops to rebel, I'm afraid they don't have the courage to ...... themselves!" At this point, he paused, but did not continue.

Chu Huan's brows stretched slightly, he and Pei Ji had long known that everything must be Zhu Lingyue behind the ghost, but Fang Rushui and Han Ying's time with him was too short, and Chu Huan had some things to say to them, but now it seems that they also have this thought, knowing that the rebellion in Jinhe Erzhou is related to Zhu Lingyue, Fang Rushui can talk about this, which really makes Chu Huan quite satisfied, and said with a smile: "Generals, speak here, don't have any scruples, if you have something to say, just speak ......!" Hehe smiled and said: "The governor might as well say it bluntly, if the two states of Jinhe don't have that kind of courage on their own, the governor is a straight gut, no matter how you look at it, the governor always feels that there is a big backer behind them, so they dare to raise troops to rebel!" ”

Chu Huan said this, all the generals present suddenly felt much more relaxed, the generals have been together for too short, they don't know each other very well, and although some things are known, they don't dare to say it, there is actually a layer of separation between the two sides, at this moment Chu Huan said this, everyone suddenly felt relaxed, and they all thought in their hearts, Chu Du has already said so bluntly, then there is nothing to take into account, the enemy and me are at war, if one side of the general can not be single-minded, then there is already a big hidden danger.

Fang Rushui stretched his eyebrows, and immediately said: "Chu Du, this is what the last general means, since there is someone behind them to support, and they are stubborn about that person, they are not forced into a desperate situation, it is impossible to have the heart of surrender, as long as the city is not broken, they will never surrender, and when the city is broken, it will be too late for us to surrender." ”

Pei Ji was calm, and suddenly smiled: "A strong attack may not be able to be quickly resolved, and it is impossible to persuade to surrender, so you can only outwit!" ”

"Outwitted?"

Everyone looked at Pei Ji.

Pei Ji stroked his beard, "I have an idea, once it can go well, let alone Hezhou, Jinzhou will also be able to win the ...... in the morning and night!" ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, and Chu Huan was also pleasantly surprised when he heard Pei Ji say this, and asked, "What is Mr. Pei's opinion?" ”

Pei Ji glanced at everyone and smiled slightly.

Hezhou City is the main city of Hezhou, not as majestic as Shuoquan City, but it is still a strong city, in fact, the scale of the northwest city is not grand, but it is very solid, Hezhou City stands on the land of a horse and a flat river, in the upright wind and sand season, there is sand and dust floating in the air, it is very dim, and the eyes of heaven are covered with a layer of gray gas, like haze.

Hu Zongmao is over forty years old, judging from his face, he is a very calm person, at this time he is wearing armor, inspecting the city, from the day he raised his troops, he knew that Chu Huan could not sit idly by, and sooner or later he would bring troops over.

Hezhou City is now completely under his control, the Xunzi Battalion of 5,000 men and horses have now been stationed in the city, Hu Zongmao's first thing after controlling Hezhou City is to recruit the men in the city and use various methods to strengthen the city.

Hu Zongmao loves the art of war since he was a child, but his talent in the art of war is not good, since ancient times, not every general who has read the art of war can become a generation of famous generals, all can gallop the world on the battlefield, apply what he has learned, the real famous general, the big waves and sands, is very rare, and Hu Zongmao's biggest advantage is that he understands his ability very clearly.

He is not arrogant, not blindly arrogant, he knows that he is difficult to compare with those real famous generals, can break thousands of armies, kill thousands of enemies, those who lead the elite to be invincible with less victories, has always been the object of admiration in Hu Zongmao's heart, he knows that it is difficult for him to become such a majestic general, but he is unwilling to achieve nothing, fortunately there is a master in his heart that he yearns for.

During the Warring States Period, there were hundreds of schools of thought, and the Mo family was unique, and Mozi's eldest disciple was in the middle of the ditch, leaving a name for defending the city.

There are offense and defense in war, and sometimes the victory of a war is not only about attacking, if you can defend well, you can also win a war.

Because of the bird slippery, Hu Zongmao carefully studied the art of defending the city, and he was conceited, even if not in the whole world, at least among the generals in the northwest, his city-defending skills must be one of the best.

He had been looking forward to the day when he would lead his army to defend the city and become famous all over the world, and the opportunity finally came.

According to what he learned, he made careful arrangements, actively prepared, recruited a large number of people, and worked day and night to increase the height of the city wall by several meters, and built many fortifications at the head of the city.

Outside the city, trenches were dug and traps were laid.

Defending the city needs materials, at this time, defending the city first, of course he will not estimate the others, every day he will send soldiers and horses out of the city to search for all the materials that can be searched.

He needs this battle to make a name for himself! ——
