Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

In the blink of an eye, the battle on the official road was over. Except for the two soldiers left intentionally by the eagle-eyed man, the rest of the Xixia army had their heads cut off.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, quickly change a hiding place with me."

The eagle-eyed man jumped into the grass with one hand holding a stunned captive.

The rest of the strong men also dragged another prisoner to follow and left the official road.

After about one stick of incense, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps on the official road again, and dozens of deserters from the Xixia Army hurried over from the east.

Suddenly, more than a dozen headless corpses appeared in front of them, scaring them out of their wits.

"My old lady, there are also Chu soldiers here! Run!"

This group of deserters ran away in fright, hating their parents for giving them a few missing legs.

……

At this time, in the woods far away from the official road, the eagle-eyed man had already asked two Xixia army prisoners about the battle that took place in Panyuan County tonight, both hard and soft.

Hearing that General Wei Mingji under Li Cha's command was beheaded by the generals of the Chu army, and the [-] Xixia army was almost wiped out, the eagle-eyed man yearned for it, and sighed: "Our army also has such heroes! I only hate me Qu Duan follows mediocre people, and it's hard to use his abilities!"

This hawk-eyed man is none other than Qu Duan, the governor of Jingyuan Road Economic Strategy Department.

The dozen or so strong men who followed Qu Duan were all Qu Duan's personal soldiers.

Qu Duan believed that with the two armies of Qinfeng Road and Jingyuan Road, he could not defeat the army of Xixia Jin King Li Chage, so he opposed sending troops to a decisive battle during the military meeting.

However, in order to repel Brother Li Cha before Wang Jinjun arrived, Xi Gong, an envoy of Jingyuan Road, and Zhao Dian, an envoy of Qinfeng Road, forced their troops to fight the Xixia army regardless of Qu Duan's objection.

Qu Duan, who had objections to the battle, was sent out of the city by Xi Gong, the envoy of Jingyuan Road, and started a bloody battle with the main force of the Xixia Army.

The two armies of Chu and Xia fought fiercely under the city of Weizhou for half a day. The Chu army finally lost to the "iron kite" cavalry of the Xixia army and suffered a big defeat.

Zhao Dian was thrown into the Jing River by the cavalry of the Xixia Army in a panic due to the strategy of Qin Feng Road, and his life and death are unknown.

Qin Feng's army fled in all directions, and countless soldiers fell into the Jing River and the valley.

Under the pursuit of the Xixia army, the dead bodies of the Chu army were scattered all over the valley plain of Weizhou City and the surrounding valleys.

Qu Duan struggled to break out of the siege, and wanted to lead his troops back to Weizhou City.

However, when Xi Gong, the envoy of Jingyuan Road, saw the defeat of the Chu army at the top of the city, he was afraid that the Xixia army would take advantage of the attack and ordered the defenders in the city not to open the gate.

Neither the Qin Feng army who came to aid nor the Jingyuan army brought out by Qu Duan could retreat into the city.

Qu Duan was out of breath, and after cursing under the city, he turned around and rushed into the Xixia army's formation.

During the melee, Qu Duan's troops were scattered and most of them fell into the Xixia army.Only Qu Duan, relying on his own bravery, forcibly broke a bloody path, rushed out of the encirclement with a dozen of his confidant soldiers, and hid in the mountains in the south of Weizhou City.

Knowing that Jingzhao Mansion's reinforcements were marching towards Jingzhou, Qu Duan decided to take a small path and flee to Jingzhou, where he joined Wang Jin's army.

Unexpectedly, before crossing the blockade line of the Xixia Army in Panyuan County, Wang Jinjun fell from the sky and recovered Panyuan County in World War I.

Chapter One Thousand and Four

The two Xixia army camps outside Panyuan County burned in the middle of the night, and the flames were finally completely extinguished.

Wang Jinjun used Zhu Wu's plan to burn more than [-] Xixia army elites who attacked the barracks to death, took advantage of the situation to kill the Xixia army leader Wei Mingji, and recovered Panyuan County.

After annihilating the Xixia army outside the city, Wang Jinjun snatched a lot of supplies from the Xixia army's barracks before entering the city to rest.

Han Shizhong's army harvested the heads along the way, and after picking up the arrows, they also returned to Panyuan County.

For a big victory, Wang Jin had to reward his troops and motivate his soldiers.

The military adviser Zhu Wuze immediately sent scouts to Weizhou City to inquire about the war between the two armies and make preparations for the next march.

While he was busy, a city guard came to report that a dozen scarred and dressed soldiers from the Chu army had come from outside the city.

When Wang Jin was a general in the Western Army, Qu Duan was still an unknown junior.However, in the past two years, Qu Duan fought bravely and became famous in the Western Army. Wang Jin also heard about it after returning to Jingzhao Mansion.

Isn't Naquduan defending Weizhou City?Why did he come to Panyuan County?Could it be that Weizhou City has fallen?

Wang Jin asked the generals on the left and right if anyone recognized Qu Duan, the commander of the Jingyuan Road Economic Strategy Division.

A general who joined Wang Jinjun in Jingzhao Mansion stepped forward and said that he was a Zhenrong soldier and recognized General Qu Duanqu.

Hearing this, Wang Jin took the general out of the county government office and came to the tower in the north of the city.

After being identified by the general and confirmed that the visitor was Qu Duan, one of the guards of Weizhou City, Wang Jin hurriedly opened the city gate and went out of the city to meet Qu Duan.

"General Qu has worked hard! Have you ever been injured? I don't know how the general came to Panyuan County? What about the situation in Weizhou City?"

When Wang Jin saw Qu Duan, he immediately sent a water bottle, and at the same time asked with concern like a cannonball.

Seeing the blood-stained appearance of Qu Duan and his subordinates, Wang Jin understood that they had gone through a bloody battle and rushed out of the dead.

An ominous premonition welled up in Wang Jin's heart.

Qu Duan poured half a pot of water into his stomach, and said sadly: "Boss Wang, our army has been defeated, and Weizhou City is at stake!..."

How did Qu Duan, the lord of Weizhou City, insist on going his own way, and forced himself to fight without waiting for the reinforcements from the Yongxing Army to arrive, which led to the defeat of the Qin Feng Army and the Jingyuan Army's coalition forces.

When he learned that Zhao Dian, the commander of Qinfeng Road, was lost among the rebellious army, and Xi Gong, the commander of Jingyuan Road, prevented the defeated army from entering the city, causing almost the entire coalition army outside the city to be wiped out. Wang Jin's eyes widened and his face changed suddenly.

"General Qu, please enter the city to rest. I, Wang Jin, will definitely give you justice. After our army is repaired, we will immediately march westward to Weizhou City. At that time, General Qu will have to work hard to lead our army."

Wang Jin is a delicate person, although he was furious in his heart, he still didn't let it out, instead he talked to Qu Duan in a pleasant manner.

"Director Wang, you are a well-known senior of our Western Army. Qu Duan has always admired you. Last night, the general manager annihilated [-] Xixia troops with a flick of his finger, which really made the general admire him. The general is willing to serve as a pawn under the general manager's command. Please, the general manager." Complete!"

Qu Duan harbors a grudge against his immediate superior, Xi Gong, and does not want to serve as a general on Jingyuan Road.

At this time, seeing Wang Jin, a big tree in the army, how could Qu Duan let it go?

"Last night's great victory was all due to the efforts of the three armies, all the soldiers! How dare Wang Jin take the credit? General Qu praised it absurdly.

General Qu wanted to join our army, Wang Jin naturally couldn't ask for it.However, at this time Jingyuan Road is still far away from the general, I am afraid that Xi Jinglue will not give up his love.

General Qu, why don't we discuss this matter after the Xixia army has been defeated? "

Wang Jin said to Qu Duan.

Qu Duan became anxious when he heard it, threw away Wang Jin's hand, and knelt down to Wang and said, "Don't you believe the sincerity of my Qu Duan? If the manager cares about Xi Jinglue's face, I, Qu Duan, would like to abandon my official position and serve the people." , I should not be the governor of Laoshizi.

After I became a commoner, I went to the general manager to enlist in the army and be a pawn, so I don't have to lose face! "

Seeing Qu Duan's determination, Wang Jin couldn't help being moved.
