Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

The scouts didn't have time to search and identify them carefully, and they didn't know whether the chief general and others of Wu Jie's army had all died in battle.

Immediately afterwards, the scouts sent back the second important piece of information: This time, the Xixia Brother Li Cha's army did not play tricks, but the whole army withdrew from the territory of Weizhou without looking back, and returned to the Zhenrong army northward.

After hearing this, Wang Jin hurriedly ordered Shi Jin and Han Shizhong to rest and reorganize the army, prepare food and grass, and make preparations to continue going north.

Sure enough, after waking up the next day, the messengers sent by Ma Kuo and Liu Kai arrived in Weizhou City and reported the situation in Pingxia City to Wang Jin, the coach of Weizhou City.

In fact, after Ma Kuo and Liu Kai captured Pingxia City, they immediately sent messengers to the states to inform them that Pingxia City had returned to the embrace of the Chu army, and asked the states to cooperate in defending against the enemy.

Because the Xixia Army was guarding the way to Weizhou City, the messengers of Ma Kuo and Liu Kai had to cross mountains and ridges and detour.Therefore, they arrived one day later than the messengers of the Xixia Army.

"Ma Kuo is in Pingxia City? This little brother is really brave!"

After Wang Jin confirmed the reason for the retreat of the Xixia Army, he ordered the army to rest in the city overnight, and led the army north again the next day, setting up a camp at Watingzhai at the junction of Weizhou and Zhenrong Army.

A day later, Generals Chen Da and Yang Chun, who had received news of Pingxia City in Yuanzhou, also came with their troops to meet with the army.

Afterwards, Qu Duan also came to Watingzhai with the supplemented Jingyuan Army.

The armies of Qinfenglu prefectures and Jingzhaofu also marched towards Weizhou one by one.

At this time, the battlefield in Weizhou City had also been cleaned up by Qu Duan.

The bodies of brothers Wu Jie and Wu Lin have been found.Wu Jie was shot more than ten times in his body, and Wu Lin was shot through his heart with random arrows. They all died for the country.

It's a pity that the two brothers Wu Jie and Wu Lin, both civil and military, have grown into famous generals in the Jingyuan army, but now they died early in battle and failed to achieve their grand ambitions.

Ximenqing once asked Ma Kuo to visit the two brothers in an attempt to take them for his own use.

It's unpredictable!

Chapter One Thousand and Nine Everything is Ready

Although the battle of Weizhou City came to an end, the battle between Chu and Xia was in full swing.

Brother Li Cha, the coach of the Xixia Army, voluntarily gave up Weizhou City, not really defeated.In fact, Brother Li Cha had almost completed his goal of "encircling and attacking aid", severely injuring the Qin Feng Army and Jing Yuan Army of Chu State.

If it wasn't for Wei Mingji's unexpected defeat to Wang Jinjun, Brother Li Cha would have won all in Weizhou City.

What's more, the Xixia generals that brother Li Cha sent to intercept Wang Jinjun impulsively challenged Han Shizhong one-on-one, and stopped the enemy for half an hour, and brother Li Cha could also take Weizhou City.

Now that he is taking the initiative to withdraw his troops from the Weizhou battlefield, Brother Li Cha is not only to regain Pingxia City and open up the passage behind him, but also to accumulate strength and prepare for the next heavy blow.

Facing Brother Li Cha, King Jin of the Xixia Kingdom who once defeated the old general Liu Fa, although Wang Jin had the heart of revenge, he did not dare to be careless.

Wang Jin knew that the elite infantry "Bubazi" of the Xixia Army was good at trekking through mountains and rivers, and Brother Li Cha was an expert at setting up ambushes in mountainous areas, so he warned the generals not to advance rashly.

At this time, on the Chuxia border, the Xixia army still had the upper hand.

On the western front, although Liu Xi, Liu Kai's elder brother and the Xihe Road Economic Strategy Envoy, was stronger than Xi Gong and Zhao Dian, he was not an opponent of Xixia Army's deputy marshal Wei Ming Wu. After two defeats, they could only barely maintain the defense lines of Lanzhou, Huangzhou and Xi'an.

On the battlefield to the east, Li Heda's army, the governor of Xixia and Xiazhou, pressed down on Huanqing Road and made Wang Siqi's Chu army fight. And the generals under his command have no power to fight back.

Wu'ersi Qi's army even reached the vicinity of Yan'an Mansion, an important town in Shaanxi. Fortunately, the army led by "Big Sword Guan Sheng" arrived, and the Chu army on Yanyan Road stabilized their position.

At this time, in the central battlefield, there is me in you, and you in me, and the battle is stalemate.

In the Huaide army, Ma Kuo and Liu Kai recruited new recruits in Pingxia City, expanded their army from 1 to more than [-] people, and assumed the posture of defending Pingxia City.

The Zhenrong Army in the southeast of the Huaide Army and Xi'an Prefecture in the west both sent troops to attack and surround Pingxia City.

In particular, Ren Dejing, the magistrate of Xi'an Prefecture appointed by the Xixia Kingdom, was the most crazy, and personally led the troops to attack Pingxia City.

That Ren Dejing was originally the general judge of Xi'an Prefecture of Chu State. He was greedy for life and fear of death when the Xixia army attacked, and led the entire city's soldiers and civilians to surrender to the Xixia army.

As a traitor and traitor, what Ren Dejing was afraid of was that the Xixia Army would be defeated and that he would fall into the hands of the Chu Army again.

Therefore, when he learned that Ma Kuo and Liu Qi led the army to attack Pingxia City and cut off the retreat of Brother Li Cha's army, he immediately became anxious and mobilized his army to fight more quickly than the Xixia people.

When Jin King Li Cha's order to besiege Pingxia City was sent to Xi'an Prefecture, Ren Dejing had already led the troops into the Huaide Army and became the vanguard of the Western Xia Army's counterattack.

However, Ren Dejing was leading the army at this time, and he didn't have any tricks to break the city.

Facing the strict defense of the Chu army, after Ren Dejing suffered two defeats during the siege, he calmed down and participated in the siege of the Xixia army.

When the Xixia army surrounded Pingxia City, in order to relieve the pressure on Ma Kuo and Liu Kai, Wang Jin also pressed on with Brother Li Cha's army stationed in the Zhenrong Army.

Qu Duan is a soldier of the Zhenrong Army, and he was originally the general of the Zhenrong Army. He is familiar with the local geography, and there are many township parties. Wang Jin entrusted him with the task of attacking the Zhenrong Army.

Qu Duan and Han Shizhong were ordered to lead [-] soldiers and horses to storm Kaiyuan Fort, the southern gate of the Zhenrong Army.

"Jiuwenlong" Shi Jin was in charge of attacking and commanding the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and the Yuanzhou Army, attacking Pengyang City in the southeast of the Zhenrong Army, and outflanking the main city of the Zhenrong Army from the side.

After Shi Jin took the order, he took the "Jumping Tiger" Chen Da and the "White Snake" Yang Chun, and rushed towards Pengyang City with a murderous look.

Wang Jinjun followed so closely that Brother Li Cha couldn't withdraw to deal with Pingxia City.

As a result, the Huaide army and the Zhenrong army, and the Chu and Xia armies were at a stalemate, and it was difficult to distinguish the outcome for a while.

Although the land north of the Yellow River was taken away by the Jin army, the newly established Chu State still has a vast territory and greater war potential than the Xixia State.

After the war started, both Chu and Xia countries consumed a lot of money and food.However, after all, the state of Chu has a strong foundation and a lot of money and food. If it is so stalemate, the logistical support of the Xixia Army must collapse first.

Brother Li Cha, the coach of the Xixia Army, was deeply worried about this, and decided to transfer [-] elite soldiers from Li Liangfu, the reinforcement sent by the lord, to the central battlefield to defeat Wang Jinjun in one fell swoop before the army rations were delivered.

When General Li Liangfu of the Xixia Army rushed to the Zhenrong Army, a Chu army also turned from the Yellow River to the Wei River, and then from the Wei River to the Jing River, all the way to Weizhou City.

This army was exactly the [-] army led by Ximen Qing, the privy envoy of Chu State.

The Forbidden Army from the various prefectures on Yongxing Army Road, who arrived earlier, saw the Privy Envoy and the Minister-in-law personally, and knew that a terrifying battle was about to break out.

Legend has it that the privy envoy's army is invincible?Soldiers from all the prefectures along the Yongxing Army Road cast their curious eyes on Ximen Qingjun.

It seems that although the army of the privy envoy Xianggong is more powerful than mine, but it is not superhuman?

After Ximenqing arrived in Weizhou City, he was not in a hurry to go to the Zhenrong army, but asked Tang Long and Wei Dingguo to lead [-] Musketeers to check whether the firearms and ammunition were all in order.

Ximen Qing did not go to war with the Xixia Kingdom in the summer. One was worried that there would be frequent mountain torrents and mudslides on the border between Chu and Xia, which would bring unnecessary losses to his new army.

At this time, autumn is high and crisp, and there is no rain for days, which is a good season for murder and arson.Therefore, Ximen Qing postponed the decisive battle until this autumn.

Although it took a lot of time, Ximen Qing ordered Tang Long and Wei Dingguo to inspect the firearms carefully just to be on the safe side.

As a result, the soldiers of the states along the Yongxing Army Road soon heard the sound of "bang bang bang" test guns coming from the Ximen Qingjun camp.

After Tang Long and others checked and confirmed that the firearms they brought could be used normally, Ximen Qing felt relieved.

In the barracks of other state armies near the Ximen Qing army camp, the horses roared in the stables in shock after hearing the gunshots.
