During the victory in the Jiazhou province, the news reached Shuoquan as fast as possible. Shuoquan was full of excitement, and Chu Huan finally breathed a long sigh.

The Southern Front War is obvious for Xiguan. Once the Southern Front War fails, the attack on Xiguan will be fatal. When Chu Huan was in Qing Tang, he planned for several days with Xuanyuan Shengcai and others, and considered various details, which can be said to be meticulous.

To win this battle, we must first understand Xiao Huanzhang's intentions. Only by understanding Xiao Huanzhang's thoughts can we prescribe the right medicine and hit it with one blow.

However, Xiao Huanzhang has always been cautious and cunning. Chu Huan dared not say that he could completely guess Xiao Huanzhang's thoughts. Although he guessed that Xiao Huanzhang's true intention was probably to swallow Jiazhou, he had been thinking about how Xiao Huanzhang used troops for a long time.

During the Qing Tang Dynasty, Chu Huan and the generals studied continuously, and finally decided that if Xiao Huanzhang really swallowed the Jiazhou, he would naturally find a way to annihilate the main force of the Xiguan South Line. Xiao Huanzhang proposed that the Xiguan army retreat to the Jiazhou, pretend to retreat, and lure Zhu Lingyue out of the cave. This was a hidden evil intention. Chu Huan keenly felt that Xiao Huanzhang would take advantage of the Xiguan army to retreat and take advantage of the situation to chase and defeat the main force of the Xiguan army in one fell swoop.

If the Beishan Army may send two-wing ambush, it was Lu Cunxiao who proposed it.

When Lu Cunxiao was in Hulu Village, he often brought people to plunder officers and soldiers, and his troops were often at a disadvantage. Therefore, Lu Cunxiao's favorite tactic was to send a soldier to deliberately attack the official army, and then pretended to be defeated and retreated, as bait to lead officers and soldiers to pursue them. In advance, he laid ambush on both wings. When the officers and soldiers entered the trap, the bait turned around and turned back to fight, and the ambush on both wings took the opportunity to fight. This was fatal to the enemy's psychology and could often defeat the more with less.

It was precisely because of this idea proposed by Lu Cunxiao that Chu Huan and others also made plans to lay ambush on both wings when formulating strategic plans. In fact, Chu Huan did not consider that Luo Dingxi would send two troops to detour from both wings and ambush in advance. The Xiguan Army was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength and set up ambush on both wings. The purpose was to encircle the Beishan Army.

However, in the Battle of Kazakhstan, the battlefield changes and the Xiguan Army set up ambushers on both wings in advance. Unexpectedly, the Beishan Army made similar arrangements. Fortunately, the generals on both wings of Xiguan were also experienced generals. The Beishan Army bypassed Qingtang City and quietly rushed to the ambush site. Before they arrived, the ambushers on both wings of Xiguan had already ambushed there.

Fortunately, the Xiguan two wing troops have been sending scouts to move nearby. When the Beishan two wing troops rushed to the designated location, the Xiguan two wing troops found out that they were only a few miles away from the trench battlefield, but they quickly moved backwards and handed them out to the hands of the Beishan two wing troops, and retreated behind the Beishan two wing troops.

当时的情形可说是异常的惊险,西关两翼军但凡没有探到北山两翼军的活动情况,移动速度稍慢一些,被北山军撞上,那么在北山军主力杀来之前,就必然会先是一场激战,从而让西关的整个战略计划出现严重的问题,也就不可能出现后来的大捷.

It was precisely because of the timely movement of the two wing troops of Xiguan and the rich experience of the generals that became the decisive factor for the final victory. When the two wing troops of Beishan were killed in the middle, the two wing troops of Xiguan immediately followed behind and arrived from the rear, which severely damaged the morale of the Beishan army and led to the collapse of the entire line of Beishan army.

In the great victory in the Jiazhou province, Chu Huan naturally had to reward him. Unfortunately, Xiguan was short of money and tens of thousands of soldiers on the southern front were really rewarded, which was a considerable expense. Chu Huan thought about it and finally decided to use new salt instead of property to give rewards to the soldiers on the southern front, transporting a large amount of salt from the salt warehouse, so that Xuanyuan Sheng could register the list of soldiers on the southern front. The soldiers were on the front line and were given salt, but they could not carry them with them. Therefore, if they were in Xiguan, the government would send the rewarded salt to the soldiers' homes and hand them over to the soldiers' families.

The predecessor of the Xiguan Army was the Pingxi Army, and some of them were soldiers brought by Yu Busui. His family was not in Xiguan. Chu Huan promised that if the soldiers were unwilling to ask for salt, the salt would be temporarily stored in the official warehouse and wait for the salt to be sold, and the subsidy would be provided with cash.

The first battle of the Xiguan Army was in a gratifying battle. The officials of Shuoquan were naturally excited. They all thought that Xiao Huanzhang was cunning, but in the end they were defeated by Chu Huan. This young governor was indeed amazing.

However, officials immediately made suggestions and took this great opportunity to make Xuanyuan Sheng send troops to Beishan and take Qingzhou in one fell swoop.

楚欢心里有何尝不想拿下青州.

Qingzhou is a prosperous place in the northwest, the most important thing. Xigu Pass is located in the eastern part of Qingzhou. It not only occupied a prosperous place, but also opened up the passage with the pass. New salt can enter the pass from Xigu Pass, which will play a decisive role in the economy of Xigu Pass. The northwest is originally a barren land, and Xigu is even more poor. Chu Huan finally invented the local method of making salt and successfully made new salt. Salt has become an economic pillar of Xigu Pass. If salt cannot enter the pass, salt that is enough to support the lifeline of Xigu Pass will lose its greatest role.

But Chu Huan knew better that it would be very difficult to completely take Qingzhou at this time.

The fundamental reason for the victory of this battle is definitely not that Xiguan's strength is above Beishan, but that Chu Huan and Xiguan generals are meticulous in planning and taking advantage of the strategies. The Xiguan army fought bravely and strictly implemented the established tactics.

Compared to financial resources and even military forces, Xiguan is under the North Mountain.

Chu Huan knew very well that if an attack on Qingzhou was launched at this time, it might not be impossible to conquer Qingzhou. However, the Beishan Army was not completely defeated. In order to protect Beishan, Xiao Huanzhang would definitely do his best. Beishan Army was defeated in the Battle of Jiazhou. However, if the Xiguan Army really wanted to attack Beishan, the Beishan Army had no choice but to retreat, and it might not be so vulnerable.

Moreover, Chu Huan knew very well that he had already spread the word of Juntian Order in Xiguan. Although he was deeply supported by the people, even in Xiguan, many gentry and wealthy families were dissatisfied. He knew that the gentry of Beishan would inevitably be extremely opposed to the Juntian Order. After attacking Qingzhou, the gentry and wealthy families in Qingzhou would definitely worry that Chu Huan would implement the Juntian Order in Qingzhou and would definitely support Xiao Huanzhang with all his strength.

The wealthy families in the northwest were mixed. The wealthy families in Xiguan suffered heavy losses and suffered great power due to the impact of the people of Xiliang. In addition, with the support of the seven surnames of Xiguan, Chu Huan could barely implement the Mutian Order in Xiguan. However, the soldiers of Beishan did not suffer from the iron hoof of Xiliang, and the gentry and wealthy families in Beishan were not damaged. It was still an extremely powerful force. If you could not suppress those people, for Chu Huan, the troubles that followed would be continuous. If you gave him time and manage it slowly, it would not be a big deal. But what Chu Huan lacked the most now is time.

Once the Southern Front Army enters Qingzhou, it will have to occupy the vast territory of Qingzhou and stabilize the gentry of Qingzhou, and the troops cannot be limited. At that time, the troops on the Southern Front will only be trapped in Qingzhou and will not be able to support the Western Front. At present, the one who worries Chu Huan the most is Zhu Lingyue on the Western Front.

So although he really wanted to win Qingzhou, the time was not ripe at all, and Chu Huan's strength was not enough to suppress Qingzhou at this time.

Of course, what he thought in his heart would not show it. Instead, he ordered Xuanyuan Sheng to make a momentum in Qingtang that he would rush to Qingzhou at any time, putting pressure on Beishan.

Chu Huan naturally wanted to report to King Qi for this great victory.

After the King of Qi came to Shuoquan, he also agreed with Chu Huan's suggestion and did not make much public. Until today, there are only a few people who know that King of Qi came to Shuoquan.

King Qi was extremely excited when he learned of the great victory in Jiazhou.

Although others are in Shuoquan, they always think that one day they will be able to return to Kyoto, and their hatred for the prince will not diminish due to the passing of the incident, but will become stronger and stronger.

His biggest hope now is Chu Huan.

Chu Huan said that once the northwest is stable, the army of the Northwest Tigers and Wolves can be gathered to find opportunities to enter the pass and advance into Kyoto. This is also the greatest wish of the King of Qi. Even when he was dreaming, he thought of himself wearing armor and leading 100,000 Tigers and Wolves to the city of Kyoto.

But he also knew that entering the capital was only a dream at the moment. The prince was powerful and it was impossible to compete with the prince every day. It took time and slowly accumulated strength. For King Qi, Chu Huan was one step closer to advancing into the capital every time he won. It was naturally a great thing to be able to achieve a great victory in the capital this time.

When Chu Huan left the residence of King Qi, it was already the time when the lights were on.

Although the victory in Massachusetts was exciting, it did not make Chu Huan lose his calmness. He knew very well that this was just one step in the difficult road, and the real difficulty was still in the west.

Gan Hou had already married Zhu Lingyue, and Gan Yujiao had been staying in Hezhou City for a while, but finally left Hezhou and went to Tianshan.

The marriage between the two families was formed, and the pressure on the Western Front suddenly increased dramatically. This great victory in Mazhou will definitely stimulate Zhu Lingyue's nerves. Chu Huan had a premonition that he was afraid that there would be some noise on the Western Front in a few days.

He rode his horse on the street to think, and a voice came from his ears: "Mr. Chu, I haven't seen you for a long time. You haven't visited the shop for a while."

The voice was very delicate and charming, awakening Chu Huan who was thinking. He turned his head to look and saw a beautiful woman in a purple brocade jacket standing aside. She had a graceful figure, greasy skin, and charming appearance. Between her eyebrows, the charming pair was very charming, and there was a small red mole on the inner corner of the left eyebrow, which added a charming charm.

When Chu Huan saw the woman, she was stunned for a moment, looked up and realized that she had arrived in front of the small restaurant without knowing it. The three words "Western Festival" were written on the front of the restaurant.
