The Northwest soldier was pressed to the ground and still struggled. However, a few Jinzhou soldiers were strong and powerful. The Northwest soldiers could not escape. They raised their heads and stared at Fang Rushui without any fear.

Fang Rushui carried his hands on his back and asked in a deep voice: "I will ask you, where is Gan Hou now?"

"General Gan?" the soldier shook his head and said, "I am just a little pawn. How can I know the whereabouts of General Gan?"

"Anyway, are you worthless?" Fang Rushui waved his hand and said, "Dahong, let's take it down and kill it."

Zhao Dahong waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Pull it down and chop it." Several Jinzhou soldiers immediately wanted to drag the soldier down. The soldier immediately changed color and said anxiously: "Let's wait!"

"Oh?" Fang Rushui said lightly: "There are still last words?"

"I...I'm not going to tell you." The soldier said: "General Gan has indeed left, but I don't know where he has been. But... he is leading his troops towards the Langya Valley Road."

"Wolf Tooth Valley?" Fang Rushui asked in a deep voice: "Are you saying he took the main force to the Wolf Tooth Valley?"

"It seems." The soldier said: "After we arrived on the other side of the river, the general ordered us to set up camp tents and put up flags everywhere. However, the next night, we had already led our troops to leave secretly, leaving only five hundred people at the camp tent, and ordered us to take turns to the river to fetch water every day, and to act like the main force is still on the other side of the river."

Zhao Dahong frowned and said, "General, Mr. Gan wants to attack the east and west. He deliberately left suspicious soldiers in Shigouzihe. The main force seems to want to attack from Langya Valley."

Fang Rushui pondered slightly and shook his head and said, "The Road of Wolf Tooth Valley is a punishment from heaven. One man is the pass, and tens of thousands of men cannot be opened. It is not possible to capture it with too many people. Mr. He has led enough troops to guard there. Not to mention that the main force of Gan Hou has all mobilized it, even if there are tens of thousands of people, don't think of passing through the Road Tooth Valley..." He frowned and thoughtful.

Zhao Dahong actually understood that the Langya Valley Road is the largest natural danger in Jinzhou. As long as there are troops to defend, it is an unpassable place. Gan Hou naturally understood this.

In comparison, the Northwest Army had the opportunity to cross the Shigouzi River, but had no chance to cross the Langya Valley Road.

Concentrating troops in Shigouzihe is a choice that any leader who has a little knowledge of geography will make. Concentrating the main force in the Langya Valley for attack is an extremely stupid choice in any aspect.

Of course, Gan Hou would not be stupid.

"No!" Fang Rushui browed suddenly, took two steps forward, grabbed the collar of the northwest soldier, and asked sternly: "I will ask you again, where did Marquis Gan go? If you don't tell the truth, kill him immediately."

"General, the young man said that General Gan only lets us stay on the other side of the river. He led the army to leave at night. I heard that people were going to go to Langya Valley, but the young man didn't know whether this was the case." The soldier said helplessly: "If the general wants to kill, the young man doesn't know anything else."

"General, it seems that he really doesn't know." Zhao Dahong saw it from the side and frowned, "What the hell is Mr. Gan doing?"

"Dahong, send two people to the Langya Valley Road and ask Mr. He what the situation is there."

"The last general obeys the order!" Zhao Dahong bowed and was about to retreat, but someone had already come to report to him outside the tent: "Report to the general, someone from Langya Valley has been sent to see him!"

"Let him in!"

As soon as the soldiers sent by He Kui entered the tent, Fang Rushui asked in a deep voice: "What is the situation over Mr. He?"

The visitor reported: "Return to the general, the Northwest Army stationed troops less than ten miles away from the mouth of Langya Valley. The camp tents were continuous and did not attack for several days. Last night, Mr. He sent a few people to sneak out of the valley to inquire at the enemy camp, but there were less than three hundred people in the enemy camp. That was to pretend to be suspicious of soldiers. Mr. He sent a young man to inform the general of the news."

He Kui and Zhao Dahong were both stunned.

"You mean, there is no main force of the Northwest Army outside the Langya Valley?" Fang Rushui was shocked, "Mr. He can find out where their troops went?"

"Returning to the general, we have already discovered that Gan Hou led the main force of the Northwest Army to the south." The person came to the scene: "The hundreds of people who stayed outside the Langya Valley were just pretending to be suspicious soldiers and used to restrain us so that we should not act rashly. Mr. He said that if nothing unexpected happened, Gan Hou would have never thought about attacking Jinzhou, but aimed directly at Hezhou!"

Fang Rushui opened his eyes wide and slapped his forehead suddenly, "No, I'm fooled. It turns out that Mr. Gan had never thought about attacking Jinzhou. He wanted to avoid Jinzhou and attack Hezhou directly."

Zhao Dahong was also surprised and said, "Does Gan Hou leave the retreat for us?"

"I forgot something." Fang Rushui sat down on the chair, "If it were an ordinary army, there was a transportation line behind, and logistics supplies had to follow from behind. Naturally, he did not dare to easily avoid important strongholds and hand over his rear route to the enemy. However, the so-called rear of the Northwest Army was not the real rear at all. From the Northwest Camp, it was impossible to bring much logistics help to the Northwest Army. Gan Hou must have taken away all the supplies and food that could be taken away. They may not have thought of returning to Yanmen Pass, so naturally they would not care that the rear route was cut off by us, and they would not care that we attacked his logistics supply channel... because they did not have logistics supplies at all...!"

Zhao Dahong finally understood at this time and said in a lost voice: "In this way, the tens of thousands of troops of Gan Hou had already killed directly at Hezhou City?"

"It should be that." Fang Rushui smiled bitterly: "It's ridiculous that I was still thinking about dragging Gan Hou in Jinzhou. I never thought of capturing Lanyi City..."

"General, then... what should we do next?" Zhao Dahong frowned and said, "Horse Gan's tens of thousands of troops have advanced into Hezhou. During these days, we have no way to get news of coming in from outside. However, since Marseille Gan has sent troops, Zhu Lingyue may have sent troops from Tianshan, now Hezhou..."

Fang Rushui also looked solemn.

"General, is it possible that this is a trick used by Gan Hou?" Zhao Dahong hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Did he think about leading the snake out of the cave, leading us out of Lanyi, and then taking the opportunity to take down Lanyi? Our troops are seriously insufficient, and as long as we leave Lanyi City, it will be very dangerous."

Fang Rushui thought for a moment before saying, "Send scouts to ask them to quickly find out where the main force of the Northwest Army is now... The possibility you mentioned is not impossible, we should be cautious."

"Okay, then I'll send someone out to inquire now." Zhao Dahong said immediately, "But if Gan Hou really leads his army to attack Hezhou, they will now be in the city of Hezhou in the past few days."

Fang Rushui nodded slightly and said, "Let's find out their specific location, and let's discuss what to do next... I will go to the entrance of Langya Valley now..."

Fang Rushui finally realized that when Gan Hou's main force was secretly traveling to Chen Cang, Gan Hou's tens of thousands of troops had already arrived at Fuguiling northwest of Hezhou.

Fuguiling Ridge is only more than twenty miles away from Hezhou. On Fuguiling Ridge, you can see Hezhou City from afar, and at the top of Hezhou City, you can also see Fuguiling Ridge.

Fuguiling is undulating and undulating in the northwest land, very irregular. However, when spring comes, the entire mountain is already green and lush.

Fugui Ridge is not high, but the ridge is full of withered vines and old trees, and there are many poisonous insects. In midsummer, there are even more poisonous miasma. Even the locals rarely enter Fugui Ridge in summer. From its name, the gloomy ridge of this ridge can be seen. The so-called Fugui Ridge does not mean subdue ghosts, but means that there are ghosts and monsters lying in this mountain.

However, it is early spring now, Fuguiling is a beautiful place. After more than 20,000 soldiers from Ganhou arrived, he occupied Fuguiling and looked at Hezhou City from afar.

On Fuguiling Ridge, Gan Hou was covered in armor, followed by a group of Northwest Army generals. Looking at Hezhou City, he saw dense figures on the city of Hezhou. However, trenches were dug outside the city and built many fortifications. It was obvious that he was fully prepared for the upcoming war.

"General, it seems that it is not easy for Zhu Lingyue's cavalry to rush to the city gate." A general behind Gan Hou looked at the fortifications outside Hezhou City and said, "The trenches and horse guards are added. After these layers, the Black Wind Cavalry in the Tianshan Mountain will suffer a lot."

Mr. Gan just looked at Hezhou City quietly and said nothing.

"We have to keep our eyes on the back." Another general said: "Sooner or later, Fang Rushui will see that our main force has already left Jinzhou. When he gets the news, he is likely to pounce from behind."

"Pune over?" A general smiled and said, "He was on high alert in Lanyi City, thinking that we would play attacking games with him, but we didn't have that time. He was waiting for us to attack, but we ignored him. When he reacted and led his troops to chase him, the troops we left in Huichuan County were enough to be with them for a while at night. We could bypass Lanyi and rush straight to Hezhou. But he could not bypass Huichuan, but he could kill directly to us."

"Huichuan has two thousand soldiers and horses, which is enough to hold Fang Rushui's men and horses." A general said: "If it weren't for the purpose of taking Hezhou as soon as possible, it would not be difficult."

Chang Huan, deputy general of Tiangubao, the subordinate general of Gan Hou, asked Gan Hou carefully: "General, when will we start the attack?"

Mr. Gan didn't look back, but just looked at Hezhou City from afar and said, "No hurry, we have been on the way for a few days and arrived at the location we should go by time. Before Zhu Lingyue arrived, we don't have to be too impatient." His eyes moved to the southwest, looking at the horizon in the southwest, as if he was talking to everyone, and seemed to be talking to himself: "Zhu Lingyue should be here too!"—

ps: I rushed to my hometown last night. Today is the first day, and I returned to Shanghai on the seventh day. There will be two updates every day. There will be no delays and no rest.
