Zhou Che is determined.
"Your Highness!"
There were screams of shock in the tent.
"Okay!" Zhou Che waved his hand: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to discuss it anymore, just follow your orders."
Everyone bowed their heads.
"Huo Zeyou!"
"exist!"
"There are only a limited number of horses in the army. I will give you two thousand horses to quickly march to Beiguan. You only need to remember four words... people are in prison!"
Huo Zeyou clasped his fists: "Here!"
"I led the soldiers and Huangfu Chaoyi's troops, drove 1,500 cavalry to attack the western battlefield, and seized Tang Jiye's military power."
With a quick glance, Zhou Che added, "Gai Yue, Xu Ponu, and Jia Dao are accompanying us!"
"Here!"
Zhou Che did not dare to delay and immediately took action.
As Jia Dao said, Zhou Han had an absolute advantage in distance.
He and Guo Tang faced each other across the river. If he was decisive enough and his march across the river was smooth enough, he might be able to swallow this huge victory before him.
There was no need to wait for him to eliminate Guo Zhenyue, just Zhou Han and Tang Jiye met... Zhou Che lost all opportunities!
For this reason, he did not go to see Li Cuiluo again, but asked Qian Hongxue to tell her: If Lao Wu sends someone to visit, act according to the original plan!
He believed that facing the huge fruit of Hedong, Lao Wu, who had already taken the bait, would definitely find a way to swallow it to the end!
After getting on his horse, Jia Dao said to Zhou Che again: "We must also make arrangements for the follow-up army."
"Sir, don't worry, everything is in order." Zhou Che nodded with a smile and asked one more question: "Sir, do you think my imperial brother can beat me to it?"
Jia Dao pondered for a moment and said: "It must have been possible before, but it may not be possible now."
"What should I say?" Zhou Che was aroused by him.
"Although the Second Prince has shortcomings in character, he is actually not incompetent."
"On the contrary, he was quite decisive in using troops."
"But he suffered a decisive defeat last time. Now he can be said to be guilty. He probably doesn't have the courage to fight again. He must try his best to be as comprehensive as possible."
Jia Dao speculated.
"Good advice, sir!" Zhou Che agreed deeply, and continued: "There is no essential difference between losing twice and losing once, but as long as you win one in the end, you have never lost."
"This debt can't even be settled. The second brother is destined to lose in the end."
"This battle for Hedong can only be fought by me!"
After saying that, he flicked his riding whip and galloped away.
Jia Dao stayed where he was, dazed for a long time.
Xu Ponu caught up and asked, "Why are you so dazed, sir?"
"The world's affairs depend on this master. Po slaves should serve with peace of mind in order to obtain the title of marquis!"
——Hedong County, West——
On the night when the war broke out, Tang Jiye gathered his troops and moved towards the river bank.
He tried to occupy the dock and reconnect with Zhou Han on the other side.
In this way, his troops will completely get rid of the "lone army" situation and declare Guo Zhenyue's defeat in advance.
It has to be said that this is an experienced veteran who grabbed the biggest winning point right away.
However, Guo Zhenyue on the opposite side is not a fool either!
By the morning of the next day, Guo Zhenyue mobilized a large number of troops to attack the river bank, and the battle was fierce.
"Be sure to repel Tang Jiye before the enemy forces on the other side of the river respond!"
Guo Zhenyue knew the importance of this battle and shouted before the battle:
"Army, those who are making trouble in the east are just a bunch of young people."
"But if Tang Jiye is allowed to occupy the dock and the imperial troops can safely cross the river, it will be the end of us."
"If you don't need to die now, why don't you wait until you are attacked from two sides and the sword comes before you die of frustration!?"
After saying that, the half-century-old commander who had been in charge of Hedong for many years actually charged with his sword.
The morale of the Hedong army was greatly boosted, and they rushed forward!
"General! The river bank is high and inland, and our defense cannot take advantage of any terrain!"
"General! The arrows carried by the soldiers have been exhausted. It will be disadvantageous to fight for a long time!"
"We didn't bring enough food and grass with us, we must return to the direction of the granary!"
In the land where grain was collected, Tang Jiye left three thousand people to defend it.
As the emergency reports continued, Tang Jiye was sweating on his forehead.
He stood on a high ground by the river, staring at the other side...and saw no movement.
"Why hasn't Your Highness sent troops yet!?"
"Report——"
Someone came running from the high ground: "There is someone swimming over from the other side of the river!"
"Please!" Tang Jiye was ecstatic.
Soon, a person came to Tang Jiye: "His Royal Highness has gone to the court to request orders..."
"Why are you asking for life at this time!?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Jiye hurriedly took off his iron helmet and spat at the visitor: "Tell your highness to send troops quickly to swim across the river and attack!"
"When the traitors see the reinforcements arriving, they will definitely feel depressed, but our army's morale will be greatly boosted... This is the way to win!"
After Tang Jiye finished spraying, the visitor slowly shook his head: "I can understand General Tang's impatience, but what if we can't win in one battle? Has General Tang forgotten how the entire army fell before?"
"After the previous failure, there are many people in the government who accuse His Highness of being arbitrary and rash. We cannot lose again."
Tang Jiye said angrily: "If you drag it on for a long time, you will definitely lose!"
"Not necessarily!" The visitor said: "Your Highness has rushed to the court, firstly to obtain the emperor's permission, and secondly to seek reinforcements as much as possible. What Your Highness means is that the general can just find ground to defend and delay."
Tang Jiye wandered anxiously and scratched his head: "No! I will hold on for a while and wait until His Highness returns to camp!"
He immediately arranged his men, crossed the river again, and reported the news to Zhou Han, still advocating that Zhou Han should launch an attack immediately.
All the ships were in Guo Zhenyue's hands. He sent people to rush the river with boats and kill everyone who came and went.
An hour later, someone successfully landed on the opposite side again.
