Zhu Lingyue finally put down the book in his hand, but his expression looked very calm. He glanced at him and the generals in front of him were all his trusted generals. He smiled indifferently and asked, "Do you want to enter the city too?"

Hou Jingang said: "Du Zhu, the northwest army has entered the city, why don't we go in? We have attacked Hezhou and lost thousands of troops. Now that the city has been taken down, are we still a spectator outside the city?"

"The reason for Gan Hou entering the city is very simple, because this city belongs to him now." Zhu Lingyue picked up the teacup on the case. He was a literary man, not as vulgar as a military general, and was very well-educated. He tasted a sip of tea before putting down the teacup and said, "And there is no need for us to enter the city. Our real goal is Shuoquan, not Hezhou!"

"Is Hezhou City his?" Hou Jingang was stunned, and the other generals were puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Du Zhu, how did this city become his? When did we...when did we agree?"

Zhu Lingyue said calmly: "You are all my confidant generals. You will know some things sooner or later, so I won't hide them from you." After pausing, he glanced at the generals and asked, "Do you know why Mr. Gan is willing to marry me?"

The generals looked at each other. Although Gan Hou and Zhu Lingyue's families got married, the entire northwest was well known, but not many people knew about the reasons.

Most people think that it is because Zhu Lingyue is strong and Gan Hou speculated to form an alliance with Zhu Lingyue, just to take this opportunity to get great benefits, but no one knows what benefits Zhu Lingyue promised.

Seeing that the generals did not speak, Zhu Lingyue said lightly: "Jinzhou and Hezhou will be the fiefdom of Ganhou and will be controlled by the Northwest Army. The salt produced in Hezhou in the future will also belong to Ganhou!"

When the generals heard this, they were all surprised.

"Du Zhu, Hou Gan wants Jinzhou and Hezhou?" Hou Jingang immediately said: "Although Jinzhou is poor, there are sand gold, and Hezhou also has many cold stones that can produce salt... It would be fine if he was dedicated to serving Du Zhu, if he had two hearts..."

Zhu Lingyue smiled and said, "Mr. Gan Hou's thoughts are understandable. He has 30,000 to 40,000 Northwest Army under his command. Although he is good at fighting, his logistics are weak. The court is no longer the court. Not to mention military pay, even food cannot be obtained from the court. Even if the Thirty-Six Fortress reclaims the deserted fields on its own, the food they planted is not enough to support their consumption!"

"So Ganhou Shizi spoke up and asked Du Zhu for the two states?"

"If there is no interest, how could Gan Hou form an alliance with us? How could he be willing to betroth his sister to my Zhu family?" Zhu Lingyue smiled and said, "I was afraid that he would not speak at the beginning. As long as he spoke, everything would be fine. You also know that I have always been worried that Chu Huan would win over Gan Hou. If so, it would be too difficult for us to annex Xiguan... So as long as Gan Hou is willing to form an alliance with us, let alone the two states, he would not want to think about Xiguan."

All the generals were stunned.

"You don't need to be like this." Zhu Lingyue said slowly: "Gan Hou is a martial artist. Although he is full of war-torn generals, he has no talent for governance. Xiguan is better in his hands than in Chu Huan's hands...!" A cunning look appeared in his eyes: "Compared to Chu Huan, Gan Hou is much easier to deal with."

Hou Jingang took two steps forward and lowered his voice: "Du Zhu, if he really handed over the Jinhe two prefectures to Gan Hou, and when they are fed, will they...?"

"I know what you mean." Zhu Lingyue smiled and said, "You are afraid of getting rid of Chu Huan, and then a Gan Hou will come out. After all, the Northwest Army under his command is not easy to deal with. Don't worry, even if you really hand over the Jinhe Prefectures to Gan Hou, he wants to eat enough. In a few years, it will not be able to become a climate. In a few years, it will be enough for us to do a lot of things." After a pause, his eyes showed a cold and fierce look: "After pacifying the northwest, we will naturally have to enter the pass to suppress the thieves. Gan Hou's Northwest Army, of course, will send troops into the pass."

"Send troops to enter the pass?" A general behind Hou Jingang couldn't help but say: "Duke Zhu, now, in order to get Jinhe and the other prefectures, Gan Hou is willing to get Chu Huan with us, but once he gets what he wants, will he still obey Zhu's general order? If he refuses to send troops at that time, so what?"

"That's not easy to deal with, it's okay to be obedient. If you don't obey, you'll be planning a rebellion. By that time, not only Chu Huan has been removed, but Beishan is also in our hands. He is only in the two states, but Zhu Du has two roads, Tianshan and Beishan. Plus Jiazhou and Yuezhou in Xiguan, and Jiuzhou in the northwest, we control the seven states. How can Ganhou be our opponent?" Hou Jingang seemed to understand and sneered: "Du Zhu, I see, Ganhou is probably really just wanting to be a rich man and occupy the two states of Jinhe to eat. He himself should understand that with his strength, not to mention fighting for the world, even if he wants to gain a foothold in the northwest, he must also see Zhu Du's look, so he married his sister to Tianshan...!"

A general next to him immediately said, "Yes, Zhu Du, Mr. Gan's sister married the Third Master, so if the hostages are in our hands...!" Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Lingyue frowning, knowing that he was talking too plainly. Some things can be understood in his heart, but they cannot be placed naked on the table. He quickly changed his words: "That, Mrs. Gan is from the Zhu family, so he naturally wants to protect the interests of the Zhu family. It is said that in this world, Mrs. Gan is now the third wife. When the third wife gives birth to a man and a half woman, Mrs. Gan is the uncle... For the third wife and the young master, the last general thinks that Mrs. Gan will do his best to serve Mrs. Zhu."

Zhu Lingyue's eyebrows spread slightly and said with his beard: "Before getting married, I have carefully investigated. Mr. Gan cared for the third wife very much. He relied on each other for his own sake. The brother and sister had a deep relationship. Mr. Gan was also a person with a temperament and valued the third wife very much. For the third wife, he could do anything. Therefore, even if he temporarily handed over the Jinhe Prefectures to Mr. Gan as a fief, as long as the third wife is there, Mr. Gan will definitely serve me!"

When everyone heard Zhu Lingyue say this, his originally solemn expression relaxed and relaxed. A general who was more thoughtful thoughtful thoughts for a moment and leaned closer to whispered: "Duke Zhu, since Marquis of Gan like this, we should ensure the absolute safety of Mrs. Third Lady. The last general was only worried that when Chu Huan saw Marquis of Gan and our coalition, he would send someone to Mingsha City in anger, which would be detrimental to the third Lady..."

Zhu Lingyue certainly understood the meaning of this general.

Gan Yujiao is in Mingsha City, just waiting for a trump card in Zhu Lingyue's hand, this trump card can completely restrain Gan Hou. As long as Gan Yujiao is in hand, Gan Hou can only obey the order.

Mr. Gan proposed to use Jinhe as a supply place for the Northwest Army, and proposed to require food, grass and equipment to solve the urgent problem. Zhu Lingyue agreed without blinking and only made the request for marriage between the two families, because he knew very well that with Gan Yujiao in his hand, it was a talisman that could dispatch Mr. Gan.

"This governor has sent Gu Tingshou to lead the people from the anti-traitor hall to protect the family in the city, especially the third lady. This governor has ordered Gu Tingshou to ensure the safety of the third lady. If the third lady makes a mistake, I will not be able to explain to Mr. Gan." Zhu Lingyue held the long beard and smiled: "Are you in a hurry to enter the city now?"

Gu Tingshou was the leader of the Hall of Anti-Treason. The Hall of Anti-Treason is composed of some strangers from the world. When Zhu Lingyue said this, everyone immediately felt relieved.

"Duke Zhu, since the Hezhou City was rewarded by Duke Zhu to Gan Hou, let him be glorious." The generals felt relaxed at this moment, "We won't join in the fun."

Hou Jingang clenched his fists and said, "Du Zhu, the Xiguan Army withdrew its troops. If the Black Wind Cavalry takes advantage of the situation to kill them, they will definitely be able to wipe them out in one fell swoop. This is a pity that this great opportunity...!"

"Don't be in a hurry!" Zhu Lingyue said slowly: "In order to capture Hezhou City as soon as possible and reach an agreement with the Xiguan Army, it is natural. This person is still confident. Since we promised to give the Xiguan Army three days, we will give him this face. Three days later, it will be time for the Black Wind Cavalry to show off his skills."

Zhu Lingyue had seen the power of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry and knew that the cavalry in the northwest was really powerful, so in the past few years, he had almost devoted all his energy to building a cavalry legion, invested a lot of manpower, financial resources and material resources, and finally had a powerful cavalry that looked down on the northwest. Although he was not as happy and angry as he was, he was also extremely hoped that his powerful cavalry could show his powerful combat power on the battlefield.

He was under his command of nearly 30,000 Black Wind Cavalry, and he was trained for a long time. However, due to the environment, although he had sent some of the thieves and rioters in the Tianshan Mountains, he had no chance to perform his real battlefield charge. This time, he really wanted to use the battle at Xiguan to test the actual combat capabilities of his Black Wind Cavalry.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "Report, there is an urgent report!"

"Come in!"

A soldier quickly entered the tent, knelt on the ground, and reported: "Sir, Chu Huan led his army to the Qingyuan Horse Farm a few days ago. After arriving at the Qingyuan Horse Farm, he did not continue to march."

All the generals looked tight, and Hou Jingang had already asked: "Are you saying that Chu Huan has led his troops to help?"

"They marched very quickly at the beginning, but when they arrived at Qingyuan Horse Farm, they set up camp there and did not continue to march." The visitor reported: "They cut down trees and built fortifications, as if they were to defend at Qingyuan Horse Farm..."

The generals looked at each other, and Zhu Lingyue frowned, thoughtfully and asked, "How many people do he have?"

"There are tens of thousands." The visitor reported: "The villain found out that they still have thousands of war horses."
