Gan Hou said lightly: "Since we have come to this point, we have to talk about it. There is room for bargaining in business, let alone such a big thing!"

Pei Ji turned around and smiled, "In this way, General Gan is willing to consider my suggestions?"

"General, this... the person is gone to the city. We have killed and injured so many people. I'm afraid that the brothers will not be convinced." A general next to him couldn't help but say.

Gan Hou glanced at the general, with a cold light in his eyes, and the general dared not say much.

"Two days!" Gan Hou pondered for a while and finally said.

Pei Ji looked at Gan Hou. Although Gan Hou said something strange, Pei Ji was so smart that he already understood the meaning of Gan Hou's words, "Four Days!"

"There is no room for bargaining." Gan Hou said slowly: "Two days are the maximum limit. If you cannot accept it, I can't do anything about it. Zhu Du's side always needs an explanation and give you two days. It is also because of the soldiers guarding the city. Many of them were once brothers from the Northwest Army. I didn't want to kill them all, but war is war, and there is no favor to tell me!"

Except for the quick-responsive individuals, other generals were a little confused.

Pei Ji pondered for a moment and finally said, "Since the general accepts it, then you and I will make a compromise each other, which is limited to three days!"

Gan Hou thought for a while and finally said, "Then it will be three days. After leaving the city, you will only have three days. Once the time passes, I will not make any guarantee!"

"Our army will withdraw tomorrow night from You hour."

"Then start from You hour." Gan Hou said: "The agreement will end in You hour three days later. I will not make any guarantees for what kind of situation you face at that time!"

"The general is a famous general in the northwest, and he is even more like a word. Although the soldiers are never tired of deceit, the general will naturally not destroy the agreement signed and will definitely keep his promise!" Pei Ji bowed, "Since that's the case, we will leave the east gate tomorrow night, but we will send people to open the north gate. The general can lead his army to enter the city first before Zhu Lingyue!"

Only when Pei Ji led Qin Lei apart from the big tent did the generals look at each other. A general couldn't help but ask softly: "General, do we really want them to leave?"

"He said it right. If we forcefully attack the city, even if we really take over Hezhou City in the end, we will suffer heavy losses." Gan Hou shook his head and said, "I don't want the brothers under my command to be killed or injured too much here!"

"The three days that the general agreed with him would give him three days to evacuate?" The general who understood the meaning asked carefully: "Will we attack them within three days?"

Gan Hou nodded, "If you want to take down the city without bloodshed, and make them willing to hand over Hezhou City, you must always have conditions."

"But...what would Zhu Lingyue think?" A general said: "We have reached an agreement with the Xiguan Army here. Zhu Lingyue...will Zhu Lingyue be dissatisfied with us?"

A general next to him immediately said, "We are the Northwest Army, not the Tianshan Army, nor the general is his subordinate Zhu Lingyue. Do you have to ask Zhu Lingyue if you have any questions? The general does this to make fewer deaths."

"General, the defenders in the city are almost all infantry. From Hezhou City to Shuoquan, not to mention three days, it is even five or six days. If you walk on foot, you will never be able to reach it." A general said: "Zhu Lingyue's black wind cavalry is coming and going like the wind, and it is extremely fast. Once you pursue it, you must have caught up with it before they reach Shuoquan..."

"This is not the question we are thinking about." Gan Hou touched his beard and stood up, saying, "Be prepared, I am going to see Zhu Lingyue!"

When Gan Hou rushed to the Tianshan Army Central Army tent, it was midnight. In the central army tent where Zhu Lingyue was located, there was a bright light, and Zhu Lingyue was dressed neatly. He seemed to know that Gan Hou would come over, so he did not rest, but was reading a book in the tent. When Gan Hou came in, Zhu Lingyue put down the book and said with a smile: "It's so late, why did the in-laws come overnight? Could it be that there is any emergency military situation?"

Gan Hou sat down beside him, and someone had already brought the tea. Gan Hou picked up the teacup, drank half a cup of tea, and said straight to the point: "Du Zhu, someone in Hezhou City has gone to my camp!"

Zhu Lingyue smiled and seemed to have no surprise. He raised his hand and pointed at the refreshment, "In-law, this is made by the military chef I brought from Tianshan. These refreshments are well made. It's so late, so my in-laws must have not eaten anything. Let's taste a few pieces first, let's say something slowly." He said loudly: "Come, and then give General Gan a cup of tea!"

Gan Hou waved his hand and said, "I am a rough man. I drink big chess and eat big pieces of meat. I am not used to these exquisite snacks."

"Drinking a big gulp and eating meat is a big chunk of it. This is what a generous man does." Zhu Lingyue laughed and asked, "My dear family said someone in Hezhou City has gone to your camp? Could it be that they know that we are going to besiege the city and know that we can no longer hold on, so they go out of the city to beg for surrender?"

Gan Hou smiled and said, "Du Zhu is like a god. It's right. They are sending people to beg for surrender!"

Zhu Lingyue smiled and said, "The strategy of besieging the city is what my in-laws think. It seems that this move is indeed effective." He paused and asked, "Of course they will not surrender easily. Have they put forward any conditions?"

"Two conditions!" Gan Hou said: "First, after we enter the city, we must not harm any people in the city!"

"This is natural." Zhu Lingyue said seriously: "Even if they don't mention such conditions, we will not hurt the people in the city. We want to eradicate Chu Huan. The people in the city are just affected by Chu Huan. We not only cannot be hurt, but also have to comfort us well."

Gan Hou nodded and said, "I think so too. After entering the city, both the Northwest Army and the Tianshan Army must issue military orders. Not only can they not hurt people, they cannot seize the property of the people in the city. If any violation of the order, they will be severely punished and not borrowed!"

"I will set military rules for entering the city. Those who violate the military rules must be re-issued." Zhu Lingyue nodded slightly, "In-laws, they have put forward two conditions. What is the other condition?"

"They can hand over Hezhou City, but the defenders in the city have to leave the city, and they cannot launch any attacks on them within three days." Gan Hou said.

Zhu Lingyue frowned at first, but soon her brows unfolded and asked with a smile: "How did the in-laws answer?"

"I have agreed to their request." Gan Hou said: "I originally only gave them two days, but in the end it was limited to three days. They will leave the city tomorrow night."

"oh?"

"Du Zhu, I promised them, you won't have any objection, right?" Gan Hou smiled and said, "Before I agreed to them, I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I didn't hesitate too much."

Zhu Lingyue still asked with a smile: "My in-laws said this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

"If the soldiers are not bloody, there is no need to sacrifice the lives of the soldiers. It is easy to seize Hezhou City. This is naturally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Gan Hou said: "We have not captured Hezhou City yet, and there have been many casualties. If we really break through the city and fight them in the city, we will probably have to pay a considerable price."

Zhu Lingyue nodded slightly but did not speak.

"The most important thing is that we can take this opportunity to truly annihilate the defender of Hezhou City in one fell swoop!" Gan Hou's voice became cold, "If this army is annihilated, Chu Huan's morale will definitely be greatly reduced. By then, the entire army will attack Shuoquan and take the surrounding Xiguan, and it will be just around the corner!"

"Annihilate the Hezhou garrison?" Zhu Lingyue leaned forward and his voice was slightly lowered. "In-laws, are you saying that when they left the city, we will take the opportunity to get out and annihilate them outside the city?"

Mr. Gan was stunned and asked in surprise: "Does Zhu want to launch an attack when they leave the city?"

Zhu Lingyue hurriedly said, "Of course not. Since the in-laws have an agreement with them, if we do not trust, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the in-laws? What's more, we are the righteous men, so of course we cannot speak without trust."

Gan Hou smiled and said, "Duke Zhu said that since he had an agreement with them, if he attacked and spread it when they left the city, it would have an impact on our reputation... But I have already kept a hand and disciplined them to leave Hezhou City and cannot enter Shuoquan City. Duke Zhu, I only gave them three days. At that time, I thought in my mind that they were mainly infantry soldiers. Even if they were running, they could only just enter Yuezhou in three days...!" After a glance, I saw a corner of the tent with a map, got up and walked to the edge of the map. These were the three terrain maps of the northwest, which were very detailed. The three terrain cities in the northwest were all above them, and even the terrain of mountains, rivers and terrain was outlined.

Seeing this, Zhu Lingyue also got up, walked to the side, carried his hands on his back, and stared at the map.

Gan Hou found the Hezhou City on the map, and did not rush to speak. He followed Hezhou City and moved to the east. He stopped quickly, looked at Zhu Lingyue, and said, "Look at Zhu Du, after the defenders left the city, within three days, according to my estimate, they should only reach this place." He drew a circle in his hand, "They were exhausted after fighting for a few days. The marching speed would never be too fast, and it would be impossible to keep marching in the middle of the journey. They would definitely have a rest. Moreover, to the east of Hezhou City, the official road was severely damaged by the people of Xiliang. Although Chu Huan sent people to renovate the official road in Xiguan, the road has not been repaired successfully. Moreover, there is a large area of ​​land belonging to the Gobi area, and the road is very difficult to move. According to my experience, even if they tried their best to withdraw their troops, they could only reach this area in three days!"

Zhu Lingyue stared at the area where Gan Hou drew a circle and murmured to himself: "This is the area around Qingyuan Horse Farm!"...

"Yes, the location they arrived at should be near Qingyuan Horse Farm." Gan Hou's eyes shone brightly, "There are grasslands within a radius of dozens of miles, and the horse is flat. Zhu Du, do you think this is a great opportunity?"

Zhu Lingyue touched her long beard and thoughtful, "If they were really at Qingyuan Horse Farm, then it would be a death sentence. It is the most suitable place for cavalry combat... In-laws, do you think they will really go in that direction?"

"From Hezhou City to Shuoquan, the nearest road is only to pass through Qingyuan Horse Farm. On the way from Hezhou City to Qingyuan Horse Farm, there are only two places that are barely called defense places. One is Heyang County. However, Heyang County was severely damaged by the people of Xiliang. Before the people of Xiliang withdrew, they set fire in Heyang County, burned countless houses and destroyed the city walls. There was no money to renovate. Now they have only been renovated casually, a dangerous city. Since the Hezhou defenders left Hezhou City to retreat, they would never retreat to Heyang City, leaving the tall Hezhou City, but retreated to the dilapidated Heyang City to defend. No matter how stupid the people of the Xiguan Army were, they would never make such a choice."

"What the in-laws said is very true." Zhu Lingyue nodded and said, "This situation will never happen. If they really use Heyang City to defend it, we can break it in less than a day."

"Apart from Heyang City, only twenty or thirty miles eastward is Tuzi Ridge." Gan Hou said seriously: "Tube Ridge is only ten miles in a radius, not a steep place, but just a small hill. To be honest, it is worse than Heyang City. Heyang City has a city wall at least, and the Tuzi Ridge is just a few plants, trees, and vines. Our army is several times more than them. If they stay in Tuzi Ridge, it is easier for us to wipe them out in the Tuzi Ridge area."

"So is it possible for them to turn north or south?" Zhu Lingyue looked grim.

"Not to mention that they cannot find help to the south and north, we will not let them go in other directions." Gan Hou sneered: "Duke Zhu, although I promised not to attack them within three days, I did not say that I could not stop the troops within three days. Zhu's cavalry can divide the troops into three groups, and the north and south wings prevent them from turning to other places, and follow them all the way behind us. We are like shepherds, and they are like livestock we raise, forcing them to go east...!"

"I understand!" Zhu Lingyue's eyes lit up, "If we leave the city, we can't let them. We keep our promise and do not attack them within three days, but we can block their other ways, so as not to escape, block their other roads, and force them to march eastward. After three days, when they arrive at Qingyuan Horse Farm, they can immediately attack them. I, 30,000 Black Wind Cavalry in front and infantry in the back, will surely wipe them out in the Qingyuan Horse Farm!"

Gan Hou nodded and smiled, "That's what it means. You can take down Hezhou City without bloodshed, and you can also find an opportunity to wipe out them all. This is a great opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Since they are delivered to your door, how can we not accept it with a smile?"—
