Chapter 1440 Who is right and wrong
Shuoquan's dispatch of troops would not have much impact on Zhu Lingyue.
Twenty miles away from Hezhou City is the Tianshan Army camp. The camp is full of camps, with endless tents and vast sky and earth. The camp is like a winding dragon, crawling on the vast earth.
When Shuoquan sent troops, Zhu Lingyue had nearly 70,000 troops set up camp outside Hezhou City and did not immediately launch an attack on Hezhou City.
Zhu Lingyue stood on a high slope, wearing armor, sunny, but the armor was cold, but his heart was filled with a hint of enthusiasm.
He had experienced too much forbearance and countless storms, but today he could finally raise his arms and be full of elite soldiers and generals. This was the result of his years of endurance.
He is a person who can see through opportunities. He also knows that God will give everyone opportunities, but not everyone can see that opportunities are coming, and not many people can firmly grasp them.
He is a person who can perceive opportunities keenly and capture them immediately.
The world has been in chaos. Although the empire has been established for more than 20 years, compared with the long river of history, even two hundred years is a blink of an eye, let alone twenty years.
The Great Qin Empire has been established for more than 20 years. Although it has won a great country through the battles of the south and the north, twenty years have not been enough to make a huge empire as stable as Mount Tai.
If the emperor could really work hard to govern, if there was a successor who was not inferior to the current emperor, he could consolidate the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Empire might be able to be stable and stand tall in the Central Plains.
But in fact, before the founding king of the Qin Empire had stabilized the country he had captured, he began to squander the efforts of the first half of his life.
When the foundation of the empire was still shaking, the emperor did not stabilize it. Instead, it was because of his obsession with practicing Taoism that made the foundation of the empire even looser. Zhu Lingyue knew very well that at this point, the foundation of the Qin Empire was completely empty. Although the building still stood on the Central Plains as if it were, he knew that the collapse of the empire was only a blink of an eye.
In the vast earth, who is the ups and downs?
Zhu Lingyue had a faint smile on his lips, and his thoughts seemed to have returned to the period of heroes fighting for hegemony before the founding of Qin. At that time, the world was full of blood and blood. The last person who could fight for blood and blood would be the master of this ten thousand miles of land.
Looking at the golden swords and iron horses under his command, Zhu Lingyue felt a little proud. He worked hard for many years, just for today's day.
Raise troops for a thousand days, use troops for a while, and use troops for a moment, and use troops for a moment, you will be invincible.
Beside Zhu Lingyue, with the generals of Tianshan Mountain, the generals followed Zhu Lingyue, looking at Hezhou City in the distance, with different expressions, but without exception, in their eyes, Hezhou City was just a prey they could get.
The counties in the west of Hezhou have been easily captured by the Tianshan Army. The troops in Xiguan are weak, and most of them are Gobi. They are flat and there are not many dangerous places. Several county towns are not at risk and cannot play a big strategic role. Pei Ji did not arrange too many troops in the counties in the west, and the main forces were also concentrated in Hezhou City.
Faced with the absolute strength of the Tianshan Army, we can only rely on Hezhou City to compete with the Tianshan Army.
If you want to conquer the world, you will first seize the northwest. For the generals of Tianshan Mountain, when they follow Zhu Lingyue to compete for the world and achieve great achievements, they will be founding heroes, with glory and honor, and glorious titles. Hezhou City is just the first obstacle in front of them.
"Du Zhu, Hezhou City is near, should we take this city as soon as possible?" Hou Jingang, the largest general under Zhu Lingyue, held the reins of the horse and looked at Hezhou City, with a flash of light in his eyes, "I am willing to raise elite troops and take the lead in attacking the city!"
When the other generals heard Hou Jingang's words, they immediately asked for a fight.
Zhu Lingyue was not anxious or impatient, and said lightly: "Surprising the city is the best. Since ancient times, it is the most taboo to attack the city. It is not necessary to attack the city easily."
"Don't attack the city?" the generals were stunned.
"Attacking the city is the best, attacking the heart is the best." Zhu Lingyue held the horse whip and said slowly: "If you can defeat the enemy without fighting, it is the best strategy..."
Hou Jingang couldn't help but say, "If you don't fight, you will be defeated? Zhu Du, although this is the best result, judging from the posture of Hezhou City, they seem to have no intention of surrender. How can they be defeated without fighting?"
Zhu Lingyue smiled indifferently and stared at Hezhou City in the distance, "I have sent people to Hezhou City. No matter what, this is the first strong city we want to fight. We must be polite first and then soldiers."
When the generals heard this, they felt relieved, but they didn't think that the people sent by Zhu Lingyue could really convince the Hezhou garrison.
A little black in the distance gradually approached. After a while, a horse galloped down the slope, climbed the mountain and got down, and hiked up the slope, and loudly replied: "Caval Zhu Du, General Gan Hou and Gan, the Northwest Army General!"
The generals of Tianshan Mountain looked at each other, but Zhu Lingyue smiled slightly, turned his horse's head, shook the reins, and the horse galloped down like an arrow that took off the strings. Then, he imagined the Tianshan Army camp like a sharp arrow.
Mr. Gan was waiting in the central army tent. Before Zhu Lingyue entered the tent, his voice was already the first to come in: "General Gan is here, and the Peng Feng is shining. Zhu has always missed him!"
Mr. Gan only brought two followers, wearing armor. When Zhu Lingyue entered the tent, Mr. Gan had already stood up and bowed and smiled, "Duke Zhu, I will be the first to arrive this time. You are one step late!"
Zhu Lingyue stepped forward and held Gan Hou's arm and smiled and said, "It's my fault that it should be punished, it's my fault. I didn't expect General Gan... Well, it should be my in-laws. I didn't expect that the in-laws would advance so quickly, otherwise I would have sent troops a few days earlier."
After the two of them sat down, Gan Hou asked with a smile: "Du Zhu, I wonder if Yujiao may cause you trouble?"
"With a brother like a tiger like a relative, how could Yujiao be weaker than others?" Zhu Lingyue sighed: "My Zhu family can marry Yujiao because of the virtue of his ancestors. Don't worry, if Yujiao enters my Zhu family, even if he is my Zhu family, my Zhu family will definitely treat him well."
Gan Hou smiled and said, "Yujiao has been in the army for many years and is willful. My brother is really unable to control it. Zhu Du, I will have to trouble you to discipline you more in the future. If she has any shortcomings, Zhu Du will have to take care of her!"
Zhu Lingyue waved his hand and smiled, "It's irrelevant, irrelevant, don't worry, the in-laws." He paused and asked, "I heard that the in-laws occupied Huichuan City in Jinzhou and left troops to guard it? It seems that Fang Rushui in Jinzhou did not abandon the darkness and turned to the light. I sent someone to Lanyi in advance. I originally wanted to persuade Fang Rushui to surrender to his in-laws and join forces. Now it seems that Fang Rushui is going to be buried with Chu Huan!"
"Fang Rushui is just a third-rate general, not worth mentioning." Gan Hou said lightly: "It's just that Lan Yi is surrounded by natural danger. It takes time to capture Lan Yi City. Why should I waste my time in Lan Yi? Bypass Lan Yi, go straight to Hezhou, occupy Huichuan, and leave two thousand troops to guard Huichuan, so that Fang Rushui's troops can be intercepted. Even if he is really defeated by him in the end, the war in Xiguan is probably over. As long as he defeats Chu Huan's main force, Fang Rushui will be stupid and can only surrender!"
Zhu Lingyue clapped his hands and smiled, "Just just now, I was still talking to all the generals about defeating others without fighting. This move by the in-laws is the essence of defeating others without fighting."
"Fang Rushui's troops, don't worry, just leave it to Huichuan." Gan Hou leaned forward slightly and asked, "Duke Zhu, my 30,000 troops have already set up a formation in Fuguiling. He is always waiting for Duke Zhu's dispatch, but he doesn't know how Duke Zhu plans to attack the city next?"
Zhu Lingyue smiled and said, "Actually, Hezhou City is not in a hurry to capture it!"
"Oh?" Gan Hou frowned slightly, but he immediately understood something, "Du Zhu meant to wait for Chu Huan's troops to arrive?"
Zhu Lingyue exclaimed: "The parents who gave birth to me, and General Gan who knew me was also good. Yes, Hezhou is flat and suitable for cavalry play. On the contrary, there are many mountains in Yuezhou, so it is not advisable to fully utilize the advantages of cavalry. Hezhou City is close to us. If we attack Hezhou, Chu Huan will naturally not be able to sit idly by and lead troops to help. At that time, all the troops in Xiguan gather in Hezhou. I will join forces with the general and earnestly achieve their contributions. As long as Chu Huan's main force is annihilated in Hezhou, Shuoquan will naturally be able to easily break through."
Gan Hou nodded slightly and said with a smile: "What Zhu said is so true, and everything depends on Commander Zhu."
When Gan Hou had a great time talking with Zhu Lingyue, the garrison general Han Ying was meeting the envoy sent by Zhu Lingyue in Hezhou City at this time. He had strong strength to support him, so he was proud of his head and chest.
"Zhu Lingyue wants us to go out of the city and surrender?" Han Ying smiled and said, "Have you ever passed the wrong words?"
"Of course not!" The envoy said loudly: "General Han, a 100,000 army is outside the city. You probably have seen it long ago that Zhu Dunn thought that most of the defenders in Hezhou City are children of the northwest, and there are many people in the city. If the war begins, life will be in trouble, so I specially asked me to come and persuade the general. The general should be a person who is very wise. In this war, who is right and who is wrong? Don't the general understand in his heart?"
"I really don't understand." Han Ying touched her chin and asked back, "I want to ask you, who is right and who is wrong?"
"Chu Huan is so ruthless that he is respectful and has his own troops. His intention to rebel is obvious. Can't the general see?" The envoy said in a deep voice: "A general follows Chu Huan, should he also plot against him?"
"Treason?" Han Ying laughed and said, "I have heard a lot of this word recently, but it seems that it is Zhu Lingyue, not Chu Governor. Speaking of being a self-respecting force, everyone in the world knows that Zhu Lingyue has been expanding his army for many years and is no longer a secret. This time, Zhu Lingyue led his troops to invade Xiguan, which is already a rebellion. You are turning black and white, really thinking that the eyes of the world are blind?"
The envoy shook his head and said, "The general seems to be a misunderstanding. On the contrary, Zhu Zhu sent troops this time to wipe out the rioters and quell the Chu Huan's rebels. If he raises an army to rebel, it will be extremely absurd!"
"Oh?" Han Ying leaned on the chair and asked, "But you don't know what evidence is there for you to say that Tutor Chu rebelled?"
