Chu Huan bowed slightly, of course he understood this truth, and now looking back, if it weren't for Ganhou's Northwest Army behind the surprise attack and defection, the Xiguan Army would not say victory, but I was afraid that it would face the end of the annihilation of the whole army.

"Actually, we've been thinking about how to lure Zhu Lingyue's Tianshan Army out of Tianshan." Pei Ji said solemnly: "If Zhu Lingyue is not removed, the northwest will never be peaceful, but to get rid of Zhu Lingyue, it is not so simple, if he really has been nesting in the Tianshan Mountains, step by step, the second brother is probably not his opponent at all." ”

Chu Huan nodded and said: "He has a large number of soldiers, and he has enough money and food, I have thought about it myself, if he eats away step by step, I really can't do anything about him." ”

"There is only one way to completely annihilate him, and that is to lure him out of the Tianshan Mountains and have a decisive battle with him." Pei Ji said slowly: "The late battle is better than the early battle, and the small battle is not as good as the decisive battle." ”

Chu Huan touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Zhu Lingyue was able to leave the Tianshan Mountain, of course, because of his confidence in his own strength, and there is an extremely important reason, that is, because of Ganhou, I think he has not acted rashly for a long time, not necessarily because he is afraid of me, but because of Ganhou's Northwest Army." ”

"Yes, that's crucial." Pei Jihan said with a smile: "Before he understood Ganhou's thoughts, Zhu Lingyue did have scruples about the Northwest Army, so if you want him to go out of the Tianshan Mountain to fight you in a decisive battle, the most important point is to let him no longer use the Northwest Army as pressure." Even so, Ganhou can't take the initiative to show favor to Zhu Lingyue, Zhu Lingyue is suspicious, if Ganhou takes the initiative to approach the past, it will make him suspicious, but if Ganhou doesn't move, he will be anxious ......! Then he smiled and stroked his beard and said: "The second brother went to Yanmen Pass, but it was also quite important, which made Zhu Lingyue even more anxious, thinking that the second brother was trying to win over Ganhou, if the second brother and Ganhou's Northwest Army joined forces, even if he couldn't get rid of him Zhu Lingyue, but if he Zhu Lingyue wanted to plot against the northwest, it would become extremely difficult." ”

Chu Huan immediately said: "So Zhu Lingyue was not to be outdone, and immediately sent someone to contact Ganhou, as far as he was concerned, even if Ganhou didn't help him, as long as Ganhou didn't form an alliance with me, it would be considered a great success." ”

Pei Ji said with a smile: "Exactly, Ganhou is still racking his brains thinking about how to get close to Zhu Lingyue, this time Zhu Lingyue took the initiative to come to the door, naturally he couldn't ask for it, and Zhu Lingyue proposed to marry Ganhou, the meaning of which is self-evident!" ”

"Marriage may not be true, being able to take Gan Yujiao as a hostage may be Zhu Lingyue's main purpose." Chu Huan's expression became stern: "Since Zhu Lingyue has the intention to win over Ganhou, of course he has investigated Ganhou's situation very clearly, and of course he also understands that Ganhou's only relative in this world is Gan Yujiao, as long as Ganhou agrees to send his only relative to Tianshan to marry the Zhu family, then the alliance between the two families of Zhu and Gan will have a very strong foundation." ”

"That's true." Pei Ji sighed, "Of course Gan Hou also knows Zhu Lingyue's purpose, of course he knows that once Gan Yujiao is sent to Tianshan, she will be a hostage in Zhu Lingyue's hands, and life and death are unpredictable...... But marrying the Zhu family is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and only in this way can he win Zhu Lingyue's trust, he did not hesitate too much, in order to take into account the overall situation, he finally agreed to Zhu Lingyue's request. ”

"I see, I see, I ......!" Chu Huan smiled bitterly: "After Gan Yujiao learned about this family affair, she didn't know the inside story, and she really thought that Ganhou was trying to cling to Zhu Lingyue, this girl had a good temperament, so she came to Shuoquan alone and told me about this family affair, of course she also knew that Zhu Lingyue and Ganhou formed an alliance, and its purpose was to deal with me, so she came here to remind me to pay attention." ”

Pei Ji stared at Chu Huan and said, "Actually, this is also beyond our expectations. We didn't expect Gan Yujiao to secretly go to Shuoquan...... Although Gan Hou found out that Gan Yujiao was missing, he didn't think that she would look for you, after all, you and Gan Yujiao have only met once...... However, the second brother is personable, maybe Miss Gan will have a good impression of you when she sees ...... first time! ”

Chu Huan was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Big brother said that he was joking, maybe Miss Gan dislikes Zhu Lingyue, in her eyes, since Zhu Lingyue is not a good person, I am opposed to Zhu Lingyue, so I can be regarded as a good person......!" ”

"Not necessarily." Pei Ji smiled and said: "If in her eyes, you are just a good person, she will not go to Shuoquan alone to find your ......!" ”

Chu Huan smiled bitterly: "I just don't know how she is now...... Big brother, she can leave Shuoquan and marry to Tianshan Mountain, naturally she also knows the reason, so she is willing to dedicate herself? ”

The smile on Pei Ji's face disappeared, and he bowed slightly: "It's a matter of importance, the relationship with Zhu Lingyue is related to the overall situation, and there must not be the slightest difference, otherwise all the plans will be in vain." Looking at Chu Huan, he showed a hint of guilt, and said: "I went to find Gan Yujiao without telling you, I don't care about you, I just hope you don't blame me." ”

"Big brother is also for the overall situation, so I naturally don't blame it." Chu Huan said.

Pei Ji nodded, and then continued: "I found Gan Yujiao and told her the ins and outs, she didn't believe that she was also from the Thirty-six Fang family, but she was also very clear about Ganhou's temperament, and knew that Ganhou was not a person who tended to be inflammatory, and it was very strange to marry the Zhu family, so she was still suspicious." I just told her that if I wanted to be sure of this, I could go back to the camp in the northwest, but I would look for Ganhou, and Ganhou would tell her the hidden secrets in the original form. ”

Chu Huan understood: "Later, she was sent to Tianshan from the northwest camp, of course, she already knew the true purpose of this family affair from Ganhou's mouth. ”

"Yes." Pei Ji nodded and said: "Although she didn't know about the Taiping Dao before, let alone that her family was the Taiping Zhengyuan that had been inherited for hundreds of years, but as one of the members of the Thirty-six Fang Family, when it came time to come forward, she couldn't hesitate in the slightest." The family affairs of the Zhu Gan family were complete, and of course Zhu Lingyue didn't know the true purpose of Ganhou, and he couldn't have imagined that Ganhou would be one of the members of the Thirty-six Fang family. ”

Chu Huan sighed: "Don't talk about Zhu Lingyue, even I can't think of it." If it weren't for your explanation, eldest brother, I still can't believe why Gan Hou would defect, I thought about it before, and I really couldn't think of a reason why Gan Hou turned his back on Zhu Lingyue, but now I understand that from the very beginning, Zhu Lingyue was kept in the dark, and I ...... The same is true! ”

"I know that the second brother is a little uncomfortable in his heart." Pei Ji smiled bitterly: "Actually, before implementing the plan, I also thought twice about whether I want to tell you the truth, but ...... After thinking about it, it's better to hide it from the second brother for the time being, and wait until the overall situation has been decided, and then tell you the truth about the matter. ”

Chu Huan said: "If the eldest brother had sued me earlier, maybe I could have helped a little." ”

Pei Ji said solemnly: "Second brother, speaking from your heart, if you knew in advance that I was a Taiping Daoist, what would you think in your heart?" In the eyes of many people, Taiping Dao is nothing to do, lest the world will not be chaotic ......! Shaking his head and saying with a wry smile: "I know that the second brother has a deep affection for me, and you are very affectionate to me, a righteous brother, but what about a Taiping Daoist?" ”

Chu Huan opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.

"And the decisive battle with Zhu Lingyue, even if it is carefully designed, but in the end, it is inevitable that there will be a bloody battle with real swords and guns." Pei Jizheng said: "If the second brother doesn't know this plan in advance, he can really put it to death and survive, the whole army of Xiguan, the momentum lies in the second brother, as long as the second brother has the heart to fight to the death, the whole army of Xiguan can fight the same enemy and fight to the end." ”

Chu Huan bowed slightly, glanced around, and asked, "The eldest brother sent a letter to tell him that he wanted me to garrison the Qingyuan Racecourse, and he had already prepared to fight Zhu Lingyue to the death in the Qingyuan Racecourse?" ”

"Yes." Pei Ji said: "The battle of Hezhou is actually part of the plan. Zhu Lingyue and Ganhou got married, and they already trusted Ganhou very much, but this person is suspicious and may not fully believe in Ganhou, if Ganhou's Northwest Army fights under Hezhou City, then Zhu Lingyue naturally can't be suspicious of Ganhou anymore. Moreover, the Hezhou defenders supported for a few days, and after retreating, Zhu Lingyue would inevitably have a heart of despising the enemy in his heart, and he would definitely seize the opportunity to seize the opportunity and eagerly want to have a decisive battle with the Xiguan army, and it is also our ultimate goal to draw out the Tianshan army and conduct a decisive battle with it. After a pause, he said solemnly: "In fact, this is also a dangerous move, if the defenders of Hezhou are on the way to retreat, Zhu Lingyue tears up the agreement and attacks, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

"That's true." Chu Huan thought about it, and he also felt a chill in his heart, "Fortunately, Zhu Lingyue didn't act rashly, otherwise it would be ......!" ”

Pei Ji slowly stood up, holding a wooden stick, raised his hand and pointed at the Qingyuan Racecourse, and said: "Second brother, you see, the Qingyuan Racecourse is a flat river, which is very suitable for cavalry to attack, since Zhu Lingyue knows that we will be here, he must also think of a decisive battle with us here." The more anxious he is to fight us, the better it will be for us, and the Xiguan army is located here, and there is no way to retreat...... The second brother has read the book of war, do you still remember that Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, led the army to attack Zhao State? The Zhao army was ten times that of the Han army, Han Xin lined up with his back, put it to death and then lived, which made his soldiers have no need to die, and the Xiguan army wanted to defeat the powerful Tianshan army, but also had to fight against the water, put it to death and come back to life, drag the Tianshan army tired and dragged down, so that the Tianshan army completely fell into a bloody battle with the Xiguan army, only in this way, Ganhou's temporary blow can play a huge role, otherwise if the Xiguan army can not resist, it will collapse at a touch, it will not last long, only relying on the Northwest Army's temporary defection, but it is also impossible to defeat the Tianshan army. ”

At this moment, Chu Huan finally fully understood Pei Ji's careful arrangement, the victory of this decisive battle, of course, was because of Pei Ji's careful deployment, but also because of the desperate fight of the Xiguan army, Zhu Lingyue had Ganhou as an ally, plus the number of people under his command, he had the heart of a decisive battle, seeing that the Xiguan army was exhausted, and chose to fight a decisive battle in the racecourse, he was even more eager to seek a decisive battle and get rid of Chu Huan once and for all, but he didn't know that this qiē was in Pei Ji's calculations-
