The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

The common people could only watch from afar, and for a moment they were not sure whether that person was Jiang Fan.

But when they heard that Jiang Fan was sick, the people had to give up temporarily and left one after another.

However, Chu Yan'er knew that she could only fool people for the time being, and those people would definitely continue to test her. But she didn't care, and she would delay it for a day.

As long as the enemy is not sure where Jiang Fan has gone, the four directions will not know which direction to attack first.

After all, although Northern Mongolia seems to be the top priority, Jiang Fan doesn't necessarily have to go to Northern Mongolia.

Anyway, Jiang Fan promised to solve the problem, but he didn't say where to go!

In the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Jiang Zheng frowned as he listened to the information reported by his subordinates. He absolutely did not believe what his subordinates said: Jiang Fan was recuperating at home. However, he did not know which direction Jiang Fan had gone.

They had prepared a killing move for Jiang Fan, but for a moment they didn't know where to start.

"Old Eight, you are such a coward! However, it won't be long before someone finds out where you are. No matter which direction you go, as long as you go there, you will be doomed! Even if you come back alive, you will still die. As long as you are not in the capital, you are doomed to lose!"

Jiang Zheng smiled coldly, his face was sinister, and a sense of pride slowly welled up in his eyes.

The other three princes also heard the news that Jiang Fan was recuperating at home. While they were angry at Jiang Fan's insidiousness, they had no choice but to give up testing Jiang Fan.

After all, because of the people's love for Jiang Fan, no one would force him to go to war when he was sick.

Therefore, it was no longer possible for them to encourage the people to find out about Jiang Fan's situation.

However, they always felt that Jiang Fan was not recuperating, but had left the capital.

But they didn't know which direction they went.

But they didn't care. As long as Jiang Fan arrived at any position, there would be a killing situation waiting for him. What were they worried about?

Not to mention, it was even better that Jiang Fan was not in the capital! It also made it easier for them to do things.

On Jiang Fan's side, he led two thousand white-robed soldiers and galloped all the way, almost without stopping for a moment. Each person prepared two horses.

The military situation in Hezhou was urgent, so he had to speed up. As for the affairs in the capital, he felt much more at ease with Chu Yan'er there.

Just as Jiang Fan was rushing to Hezhou, the five brothers of the Chu family in Guanzhong of Hezhou had already received the news sent by Jiang Fan.

At first, they had some doubts in their hearts about this matter, but thinking that Jiang Fan would not do it without a purpose, the five brothers decided to be on guard against Mu Yuntian no matter what.

In front of Hezhou Pass were 200,000 iron cavalrymen from Northern Mongolia. They were divided into four groups and were eyeing the left and right gates of Hezhou Pass.

The entire Hezhou Pass is composed of two majestic passes, the left and the right, which are less than twenty miles apart.

There were 100,000 Zhenyuan troops stationed at Zuoguan, plus more than 200,000 civilians in the city and the families of the border troops, a total of more than 300,000 people.

The right pass was guarded by 100,000 Wujing troops and more than 300,000 family members of the border troops, a total of more than 400,000 people.

In fact, there were only 150,000 troops stationed at the left and right passes of Hezhou. Among them, 50,000 troops at the left pass were from the Zhenyuan Army, and 100,000 troops at the right pass were from the Wujing Army.

However, last year, under the leadership of Duo La Yue Er, 200,000 Northern Mongolian cavalry invaded the border, and the court sent 50,000 Zhenyuan troops from the capital over. Since then, the army has never returned.

The commander of the Zuoguan Army was Chu Xinghe's eldest son Chu Chengfeng, and the remaining four sons of the Chu family, Chu Chengzhi, Chu Chengduan, Chu Chengzhong and Chu Chengren, were the four main generals, each leading 20,000 men.

The five tigers of the Chu family are now the backbone of the Hezhou Zhenyuan Army. Each of them is powerful and is the absolute king on the battlefield.

At this time, the five brothers were standing on the city wall. The beacon fire had been lit at Youguan not far away. The five brothers looked at one of the beacons with flashing eyes.

"Brother, the Northern Mongolian cavalry is attacking Hezhou Pass. Should we rescue them or not?" Chu Chengduan looked at the eldest brother Chu Chengfeng.

The Northern Mongolian cavalry did not attack the left pass, but only attacked the right pass. This reminded the five brothers of the message sent by Jiang Fan.

The other party's move is probably intended to lure them out and then surround and attack their reinforcements.

But the soldiers and civilians in Youguanzhong are all from Dayan. Even if Mu Yuntian is in collusion with the other side, if they turn a blind eye, it may cause the army's morale to fluctuate and they may even be used by the enemy.

"Keep the troops in place and send a small team to the right pass ahead to check the situation." Chu Chengfeng shook his head and said lightly.

If the situation in the past had continued, no matter which pass the Northern Mongolian cavalry attacked, as long as the beacon fire was lit, the other pass would send reinforcements to help as soon as possible.

Lighting a beacon means that the situation at another level is very critical.

If it weren't for Jiang Fan's information, I'm afraid that by now the five brothers Chu Chengfeng would have sent half of their troops to provide support.

"Brother is right. Let's send a team to investigate first. The distance between the two sides is only 20 miles. If the cavalry comes to help, it will only take half an hour to arrive."

"If Mu Yuntian really has colluded with Beimeng, we will only fall into their ambush if we send troops."

Chu Chengduan and Chu Chengren nodded and followed suit. Chu Chengzhi and Chu Chengzhong also agreed.

However, Chu Chengfeng thought about it and said, "Second Brother, Fourth Brother, each of you will take 10,000 people and sneak out of the city from the west gate. If you do this..."

At the end, Chu Chengfeng leaned over to Chu Chengzhi and Chu Chengzhong and whispered something.

Then he stepped back and said, "Once I light the fireworks, you will proceed according to the original plan."

The fireworks message invented by Chu Yan'er has been delivered to Hezhou Pass. Chu Chengfeng is very happy about this strategic message invented by his younger sister. However, it has not been used once for the time being.

This situation is just right for use!

Upon hearing this, the two brothers nodded and quickly led their troops away.

On the other side, in the hilly area between the Left and Right Gates of Hezhou, 100,000 cavalrymen from Northern Mongolia were hiding. Leading the army was Ji Keli's most trusted general, Tuermu.

He looked towards the left in front of him, his eyes flashing with a hint of coldness and sarcasm.

However, the beacon fire at the right gate had been lit for nearly half an hour, but there was no response at the left gate of Hezhou, and he could not hear any sound of a large number of cavalry leaving the city.

"General, the beacon fire has been lit at the right gate of Hezhou, why is there no movement at the left gate? Have they discovered our plan?" A general next to Tuolmu looked at the road ahead in confusion.

Tuoermu frowned and felt anxious.

If Zuoguan didn't send troops, their plan would fail. The drama at Youguan couldn't last too long.

At this moment, about ten Zhenyuan Army cavalrymen appeared in front. Seeing this, Tuoermu's eyes were filled with astonishment, and several generals beside him also looked nervous.

No matter how stupid they were, they had already realized that the people at the left pass of Hezhou might have seen through their plan, which was why they were so cautious and only sent out a small team of cavalry to gather information.

"General?! Do you want to get rid of them?" The general on the side looked at Tuolmudao.
