Hou Jingang and other generals followed and stood behind Zhu Lingyue. When they saw Zhu Lingyue's eyes falling on the Qingyuan Horse Farm on the map, they all looked at it. Zhu Lingyue didn't say anything, and everyone dared not speak.

"What do you think?" Zhu Lingyue finally asked.

The generals looked at each other, and Hou Jingang had already said, "Du Zhu, since Chu Huan appeared in Qingyuan Horse Farm, wouldn't that be better? We wouldn't kill him to Shuoquan and chop his head."

A general next to him shook his head gently and said, "Near Qingyuan Horse Farm, it is suitable for cavalry raids. A horse is flat. Chu Huan will not know that the terrain there is the most beneficial to our Tianshan Army... In this case, why did he choose the garrison in the Qingyuan Horse Farm?" After a pause, he looked at Zhu Lingyue's back and said, "Du Zhu, are the Chu people playing with some tricks?"

The other generals were also talking in a low voice, and they were very surprised that Chu Huan's troops arrived at Qingyuan Horse Farm.

Zhu Lingyue carried his hands on his back, his eyebrows were slightly locked. After a long time of silence, his eyebrows suddenly stretched out and he smiled and said, "I understand!"

"What does Zhu Du mean?"

"Before we attacked Hezhou City fiercely, Chu Huan must have known that Hezhou City is in danger, but the troops in Hezhou City are the main force of his Xiguan Army, so he cannot sit idly by." Zhu Lingyue raised his hand and stroked his long beard, "He must have dispatched the available soldiers at hand and rushed to Hezhou City to reinforce."

"Since that's the case, why did they stop stagnating at Qingyuan Horse Farm?"

"The reason is very simple, because Chu Huan is not a stupid person." Zhu Lingyue sneered: "When he sent troops, he only wanted to rescue the troops from Hezhou City, but when he arrived at Qingyuan Horse Farm, he probably understood something."

Before Hou Jingang could understand, he couldn't help asking, "What does Zhu Du mean?"

"Rattlefield, horse farm, Chu Huan arrived at Qingyuan Horse Farm and must have thought of my Tianshan Black Wind Cavalry." Zhu Lingyue turned around and looked at his generals, "He must have woken up at that time. Even if he led his army to arrive, not only could he not rescue the defenders in the city, but his more than 10,000 troops under him would probably be eaten by us outside the city."

Hou Jingang immediately said: "Fortunately, he stopped his horse. If he really came to rescue, before he could approach Hezhou City, my Black Wind Cavalry could annihilate them outside the city. If that were the case, the defenders in the city would definitely have a sharp drop in morale when they saw reinforcements being raped, and they would no longer have the intention to fight."

Zhu Lingyue nodded and said, "Chu Huan obviously knew this. He did not come to rescue. The Xiguan Army in the city still had a glimmer of hope to support them in fighting. However, once Chu Huan's troops were really wiped out of the city, the defenders in the city would collapse without fighting. Chu Huan certainly understood this, so he did not continue to march."

"Du Zhu, if this is the case, why did Chu Huan not withdraw his troops and still stay at Qingyuan Horse Farm?" Hou Jingang said in confusion: "He wouldn't have wanted to wait for us at Qingyuan Horse Farm, right?"

"He is not waiting for us, but waiting for the retreating defenders." Zhu Lingyue said with great certainty: "At Qingyuan Horse Farm, Chu Huan is in a dilemma. He sent troops from Shuoquan to reinforce Hezhou. When he realized that he could not advance, he wanted to retreat, and that would be very difficult. He still had more than 10,000 troops under his command. If he turned around and returned to Shuoquan, it would be equivalent to denying his strategy of sending troops to reinforce and his own strategic plan. If this is the case, the blow to the morale of his soldiers under his command would be fatal." Touching his beard: "If he was ready to defend Shuoquan City from the beginning, it would be fine, but since he had sent troops, he would not be able to go back. Of course, the most important point is that he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he also wanted to try his best to save the Xiguan army withdrawn from Hezhou."

Hou Jingang also understood, "Du Zhu, are you saying that he knew that the Hezhou garrison was preparing to retreat, so he picked up at Qingyuan Horse Farm?"

"If it wasn't my expectations, it would be like this." Zhu Lingyue's eyes flashed, "I am still wondering. The defenders of Hezhou have been fighting to the death for several days, and they are in a state of breaking the city. But why did they suddenly send people to reach an agreement with Gan Hou? Now it seems that the defenders in the city already know Chu Huan's location. They know that there is only one way to die to defend Hezhou City, so after knowing that Chu Huan led his army to help, they were ready to break out."

Hou Jingang looked at the map and nodded, "At the time from Hezhou City to Qingyuan Horse Farm, under normal circumstances, it is only two or three days to go. They asked Gan Hou to give them three days. It seems that they really have to go to Qingyuan Horse Farm to meet with Chu Huan's troops."

A general next to him said, "There are nearly 20,000 defenders in Hezhou City, and there are 30,000 soldiers in Chu Huan's hands. In this way, Chu Huan wants to use all the strength in his hands to fight against us?"

"This is already helpless." Hou Jingang sneered: "Chu Huan knows that once Hezhou City falls, we will drive straight in and head straight to Shuoquan. At that time, Chu Huan's strength in his hands is not our opponent at all. If he could receive the 20,000 troops retreating to Hezhou and hold 30,000 troops, in his opinion, he might be able to fight us to the death."

"What King Kong said makes sense." Zhu Lingyue said: "Chu Huan should have planned that way. He has no way out. He can only use all his possessions to fight with us...!" He smiled, "This is his only choice now, but it is exactly what I hope to see. I don't want to fight another hard under Shuoquan City. Since this battle is to be fought, it is naturally the best outside the city."

"We only gave them three days, which was only enough for them to join in Qingyuan Horse Farm." A general smiled and said, "After the Xiguan army gathered, even if they wanted to retreat to Shuoquan City, it was too late. We just went to do it once and for all, and wiped out all the Xiguan army at Qingyuan Horse Farm. As long as we win the battle in Qingyuan Horse Farm, the entire Xiguan will be Zhu Du's world."

Zhu Lingyue said in a deep voice: "All the generals obey orders!"

Several generals bowed at the same time and said solemnly: "The last general is here!"

"Gu Liangchen obeys the order!"

"The last one will be here!"

Zhu Lingyue looked grim, "I ordered you to lead 5,000 cavalry. After dawn, you will set out in the north of Hezhou City, move ten miles northward, and then advance towards the Qingyuan Horse Farm. You must ensure that you will be moving in line with the withdrawn Xiguan Army, but a distance of ten miles apart. After the Xiguan Army retreated to the Qingyuan Horse Farm, a part of the cavalry you led must also be on the north of Qingyuan Horse Farm. Do you have any questions?"

"The last general has no doubt, the last general obeys the order!"

Zhu Lingyue nodded and shouted, "Where is Di Renjie?"

A general stepped forward and said solemnly: "The last one is here!"

"This governor ordered you to lead 5,000 cavalry to set out from the south of Hezhou City. The order is the same as Gu Liangchen and keep a ten-mile distance from Xiguan retreating. When they arrive at Qingyuan Horse Farm, your troops must also wait on the south of Qingyuan Horse Farm."

Di Renjie said sternly: "Abide by the order!"

"Gu Jingang, Yao Wenyuan, Zhang He!"

"The last general is here!" The three generals all came out.

"This general Gu Jingang is the main general, Yao Wenyuan and Zhang He are the deputy generals, commanding 15,000 cavalry, advancing in the middle, following the withdrawal of troops in Xiguan, maintaining a distance of fifteen miles. After they arrive, there is no need to launch an attack immediately, wait for this commander!"

"The last one will obey the order!"

"Sheng Xuantong, tomorrow morning!"

The remaining two generals stepped forward together and bowed: "The last one is here!"

"You two lead the rest of the troops and horses, and use this general as a back-up, and then set off."

"Abide by the order!"

"My generals, the army is unstoppable. This battle is of great importance and ruthless face. If there is any violation of military discipline, you will never give up easily and will definitely be reborn." Zhu Lingyue looked stern: "The army has no constant momentum, and the water has no constant form. Do not take things lightly on the battlefield lightly, and you must not be careless about the Xiguan Army at all. Throughout history, many defeats in wars are caused by underestimating the enemy. This governor does not want such a thing to happen to our Tianshan Army!"

"I will know at the end!" the generals said in unison.

Zhu Lingyue nodded slightly, "After each division reaches its designated position, no one should act rashly without the orders of the governor. If he is greedy for merit and acts on his own, he will be killed without mercy. The war in Xiguan is here, only victory is allowed but not defeated. All generals must fight to the death. If it is successful, no matter the generals and soldiers, they will receive a heavy reward and will never break their promise!"

Zhu Lingyue used both kindness and power, so the generals naturally had a great morale.

"Du Zhu, then... what should I do with Marquis Gan?" Hou Jingang asked softly.

Zhu Lingyue sighed: "At the battle of Qingyuan Horse Farm, I really don't want the Northwest Army to join in the fun. With our troops, we can swallow Chu Huan. Once the Northwest Army participates in it, when we arrive in Shuoquan, with the character of Gan Hou, even if the Northwest Army has not made any military achievements, it will never ask for things from the Northwest Army."

"No wonder they attacked Hezhou City so vigorously, just because Zhu Duke gave him Hezhou." Hou Jingang clenched his fists and said, "I'm afraid that when he arrived at Qingyuan Horse Farm, Gan Hou's Northwest Army would not be so dedicated... It would affect the morale of our army at that time."

"But the last general thinks that even if they don't fight to the death, they will show the world that Chu Huan is responsible for his own fault." General Di Renjie said: "Only by taking action at the same time, Chu Huan's name of rebellion can he implement Chu Huan's name!"

Zhu Lingyue smiled and said, "What Renjie said is very true. If the Northwest Army is really unwilling to fight to the death, it is still a flag. With this flag, it will also be a blow to the morale of the Xiguan Army."

The next day, as soon as the dawn appeared, the Tianshan military camp had already begun to move, disrupting the calm of the people. Gu Liangchen and Di Renjie each led 5,000 cavalry to take the lead from the military camp. The sound of horse hooves, and two long black dragons divided into two from the Tianshan military camp, each advancing towards the target set. People shouted and neighed, and the momentum was quite strong.

After the two cavalry teams left, the main force of the Tianshan Army had also begun to put away the camp tents, shield players, swords and axes, spearmen, and archers, among which they were intertwined. After the formation, the main force of the cavalry led by Hou Jingang had already set out first, and the main force of the rear formation was led by Zhu Lingyue himself, transporting food and supplies, and also began to drive eastward.

The Tianshan military formation was marching neatly and orderly. In addition to the cavalry sent out, Zhu Lingyue also had a thousand elite cavalry around him, wandering on both wings of Zhu Lingyue's central army.

Riding on the horse, Zhu Lingyue looked up at the sky. The sky seemed to be clean. Today, it seemed to be a good weather. He murmured to himself: "Chu Huan, we will fight you and me, this is the battle, the success and the king will defeat the enemy, this is the battle!"
