"The scenery is different in autumn, and the geese in Hengyang don't pay attention. The sound of the corners on all sides rises, and in the thousands of mountains, the long smoke and sunset are closed in a lonely city.

A glass of turbid wine is thousands of miles away, and Yan Ran has no plan. Qiang Guan is full of frost, people are sleepless, and the general's white hair is crying. ”

In a low voice, he whispered this song «Fisherman's Pride. Qiu Si», Liu Qi, who was dressed in a wide clothes and a square scarf, led the horse on the official road, and had an inexplicable emotion.

Several disguised sergeants followed him, leading their horses and watching around wary.

"The worries of the world first, the joy of the world after the world, Wen Zhenggong is high and bright, but the people have passed away, and now they can only sigh by the river and admire the sages.

The border city of Weizhou, located in the east of Liupan Mountain, is commonly known as Saixia, and the land of nomads west of Liupan Mountain is called Saishang. In the poems of the Tang and Song dynasties, it is Weizhou.

Weizhou is located in the east of Liupan Mountain, the climate is mild, the grass is abundant, the mountains are undulating, and the water of the Jing River flows through the north of the city.

As the gateway to Chang'an City, Jingzhao Prefecture, Weizhou in the Song Dynasty became famous in the competition between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia. At that time, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and others had a good way, which made Weizhou City at that time temporarily calm.

It's just that since the Jin people invaded the Song Dynasty in the last years of Xuanhe, the Great Song Dynasty was in turmoil, and the city of several desires was destroyed, and the Western Xia took the opportunity to attack Shaanxi, and the north of Weizhou was occupied by the Western Xia people one after another, and even the city of Weizhou almost fell into the hands of the enemy.

Weizhou City was widely spread in later generations, of course, because of the "Water Margin" Zhonghua monk Lu Zhishen killed the town of Guanxi with three punches. Of course, Liu Qi couldn't know this story, but what he was thinking about at the moment was how to recover Weizhou without blood.

Since the Jin and Song Shaanxi wars, Qin Feng passed through the road to envoy Sun Wu, and Xihe passed through the envoy Liu Xi were reprimanded and snubbed by the imperial court. Now that the war in the south is urgent, Yang Qi's army has eroded several places, and the imperial court wants to transfer the Shaanxi army to the south, open up the river up and down, and connect with Sichuan.

In this way, he happened to occupy Weizhou and other places in a grand manner, laying the groundwork for the march into Western Xia.

For Liu Qi, since he was stationed in Pizhou, he went deep into the border areas, not only to understand the local people's conditions, but also to prepare for the march into Western Xia.

"All the major events of the summer expedition are on Liu Gong. Only by marching into the Hulu River Valley can our army take advantage of the situation, cut off one of its wings, and completely pacify the summer land!"

Thinking of Wang Song's earnest advice to him before leaving, Liu Qi felt a great responsibility, and there was an inexplicable pressure on his body.

The troops entered the Hulu River Valley, coerced Xingqing Mansion, and contained the Xia army on the right, so that the loyal and righteous army could ......

Western Xia is not only the homeland of the Han Dynasty, but more importantly, it has always played an indescribable restraining role in the process of the loyal and righteous army against the Jinren.

With the advent of autumn this time, the Jin people are ready to move, and Xixia also wants a piece of the pie. If you don't solve the trouble on the side of this couch, you really can't get rid of it.

"Pingxia City ......"

Liu Qi pondered in his heart. The first stop of the decisive battle of the army was in Pingxia City on the Hulu River. According to the reports of the scouts on the border, there were more than 40,000 Western Xia troops in Pingxia City, Lingping Village, and Tongxia Village alone.

"Xianggong, there is a tea stall in front, take a sip of tea and then leave!"

Seeing the beads of sweat on Zhang Huhong's face, Liu Qi couldn't help but smile apologetically and nodded slightly.

It was already afternoon, and he had already run to more than a dozen villages and towns, and he had not touched a grain of rice since the morning, and he was too devoted.

Zhang Hu happily responded, tied the horses, and several people entered the tea stall.

A bowl of hot tea was served with freshly baked meatloaf, and the young guards suddenly recovered their vitality.

"Liu Xianggong, why do we go through the mountains and mountains and walk through the streets and towns every day?"

Zhang Hu, as the leader of Liu Qi's pro-army, is actually less than 20 years old, and he looks tall and tall, with a wooden face, but in fact he is quite clever.

Liu Qi also likes to be with these young people, which makes him feel energetic, simple and happy.

"Major events in the army, don't make a loud noise!"

Liu Qi looked around and said in a low voice: "Don't use nonsense, there is only one Xianggong in the Loyal and Righteous Army, and that is Wang Song and Wang Xianggong." The army will use troops on the day, and we will know when the time comes!"

"Liu Dutong, in this way, Wang Xianggong is going to use troops against Western Xia."

Zhang Hu was quite smart, and he guessed the clue at once.

Liu Qi was just about to speak, but the tea guests at a table walked straight over, and the thin scribe led by him looked at Liu Qi and shouted in surprise.

"Uncle Xin, it's really you, I thought I was wrong for a few years, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

"Brother Yan, why are you here?"

Liu Qi stood up in surprise and grabbed the comer's arm.

No wonder he was overjoyed, the thin man in front of him was his friend, Liu Ziyu, the eldest son of Liu Tao, a scholar of the Great Song Dynasty Senior Administration Palace.

As his mentor and friend, Liu Qi has great respect for Liu Ziyu, who is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs. It's just that one of the two is in the loyal army, and the other is an official in the Great Song Dynasty, and the war is continuous, and they are fighting separately, and it is not easy for the two to meet and communicate.

"Uncle Xin, it's hard to say!"

Everyone sat down one after another, and Liu Ziyu's face was stunned and a little embarrassed.

"Brother Yan Xiu, last year, Zhang Jun Xuanfu Sichuan Shaanxi, Brother Bi was Xuanfu to make the military senator. The army was defeated, and I heard that you were shook, but I didn't expect to meet you today!"

Liu Qi said with emotion: "Zhang Jun is stubborn and self-serving, ambitious and talented, and he doesn't need his brother's long-term strategy, and Shaanxi will be defeated." The elder brother suffered this unjustified disaster, and he can be regarded as a believer. ”

When Zhang Jun was appointed as the envoy of the Xuanfu system in Sichuan and Shaanxi, he invited him to participate in the military with Liu Ziyu's wisdom and bravery, and ordered him to go to Qinzhou to make a general system of soldiers and horses, establish military regulations, and greatly boost the military prestige.

The Jin soldiers invaded the south. Zhang Jun mobilized more than 200,000 troops from the Fifth Route Army to fight a decisive battle with the Jin soldiers. Liu Ziyu took the difficulty of the Song army's joint operations and insisted on the main garrison as the best policy. Zhang Jun insisted on his opinion, parted ways and drove his troops south, and was defeated in Yaozhou.

Zhang Jun made a mistake in commanding the army, so he was demoted, and Liu Ziyu was also demoted, but I don't know why he went to Weizhou.

"Uncle Xin, the past is over, don't mention it. I'll introduce you to my brother. ”

Liu Ziyu dodged his body slightly, pointed to the two majestic men behind him, and introduced them one by one: "This is Brother Song Yan, this is Brother Yu Ping, both brothers are famous righteous men in Qin Feng and Jingyuan."

He pointed at Liu Qi and said: "Two brothers, this is Liu Qi, the fierce general under Wang Song and Wang Xianggong, and the younger brother of Liu Xi, the envoy of Xihe, you greet each other."

Liu Qi saw that these two people were majestic and abnormal, with a bit of recklessness, and at first glance they were anti-Xia righteous warriors on the side plug. Liu Ziyu and these two heroes are together, and it seems that they are not idle.

After greeting each other, they sat down together.

"Uncle Xin, I have long heard that the loyal and righteous army guarding Pizhou is strictly disciplined, and Qiu has not committed any crimes, so I didn't expect it to be your subordinates."

A smile appeared on Liu Ziyu's thin face, and the wrinkles on his forehead suddenly decreased a lot.

Meeting old friends in a foreign country is one of life's great blessings. His intuition told him that the Loyal and Righteous Army was definitely not stationed in Pizhou just to fight for a little territory.

"Brother Yan, why are you here here?"

Liu Qi looked at Song Yan and Yu Ping next to him, shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "These two brothers are the leaders of the rebel army, it seems that the elder brother is still full of pride and loyalty, and he wants to change this declining situation!"

Liu Ziyu's face turned red, and he nodded: "The loyal and righteous army fought against the Jin people in Lianghe and killed the Quartet, and the foolish brother was not willing to be lonely, so he could only make a small fight in this familiar place."

Liu Qi laughed, his friend had such ambition and fighting spirit, he was naturally happy in his heart.

"On the strength of the world's troops, it should be based on Qin Long."

Liu Ziyu said in a deep voice: "The imperial court has lost the northern land, and now it is going to transfer troops to the south to quell the south of the Yangtze River, this Qin."

Longdi, it seems that I don't want it anymore!"

The majestic and mighty Song Yan on the side slapped the table and said angrily: "The court doesn't want Shaanxi, our brothers want it!" Without the Western Army, the party members burned, killed and looted, and in the end it was the common people who suffered! No matter what, our brothers will fight them to the end!"

"Brother Song is right!"

The swarthy and fierce Yu Ping continued: "Uncle Liu Xin, Wen Taowuluo, has the ability to help our brothers, why do you want the party members to suffer hardships!"

In the seventy or eighty years of the Song-Xia War, the hatred between the two sides has long been in the bones. These athletes from the northwest are all born in archery and horses, and they are skilled in martial arts. When the Great Song Dynasty attacked Western Xia, the forbidden army transferred from the imperial court was far stronger than the forbidden army of the imperial court in terms of elite.

The Great Song Dynasty Wenchen commanded the army, the country had no permanent strategy, changed the law to die, and these fierce men in the northwest also disappeared in the long river of history in a field of internal friction and helplessness.

Historically, the famous generals at the turn of the two Song Dynasty, except for Yue Fei, who was from Hebei, the other Liu Qi, Han Shizhong, Wu Jue brothers, Li Xiaozhong, Li Yanxian, and Zhang Jun were all from Shaanxi. It can be said that there are many talents, and they have supported several national wars of the two Song Dynasty.

"Uncle Xin, you appeared in this place, it seems that the Loyal and Righteous Army is going to use troops against Western Xia."

Liu Ziyu said faintly, and his expression couldn't hide his loneliness.

Wang Songwen is a martial artist, and his subordinates are all elite soldiers, and Liu Qi follows him to show his strengths.

I think he is a famous child, proficient in scripture and history at the age of 10, and entered the army with his father Liu Tao at the age of 11. Wars are frequent, he abandoned literature and practiced martial arts, "in the middle of the summer and cold, he will wear a single shirt in the morning, and enter the workshop to learn to shoot three hundred arrows", when he was young, he was proficient in Tao strategy and excellent martial arts.

Later, the road to the office was smooth, and the official to the presidential system of Shaanxi five-way soldiers and horses, the momentum was unparalleled for a while.

Helplessly, Shaanxi was defeated, dispelling all his illusions. He was naturally unwilling to belittle Jiangnan and stumble to old age.

He hated Jin the most in his life, but he didn't expect Wang Song to fulfill his ambition. But I can't do it myself, and I always have some regrets in my heart.

"Brother Yan, please forgive my little brother for speaking out!"

Liu Qi sincerely persuaded: "With my brother's great talent, instead of fighting alone and making small troubles, you might as well join the loyal and righteous army and show your ambitions."

Liu Ziyu's heart was shocked, and he looked at his best friend in front of him incredulously.

"Don't you want to restore Yan Yun, don't you want to recover the summer land when you grow, don't you want to step on Yan Ran and seal the wolf?"

Liu Qi looked solemn and continued: "Wang Xianggong said that wherever the rivers go and the sun shines, they are all Han land. This sentence is not a verbal statement, but the goal of his life! Doesn't my brother want to experience all this as a Han Chinese?"

Liu Ziyu's forehead was covered with sweat, and a pair of eyes stared at Liu Qi, and his eyes changed.

"Mr. Liu, what Liu Yanei said is good. Let's make a little fuss, but we can't become the climate, and we can't help the party members!"

Yu Ping was excited, and said loudly: "It's better to join the Loyal Army, and everyone will fight against the Xia people!"

Song Yan also nodded and said, "Wang Xianggong is a real man!" Just because he has killed countless fans, I, Song Yan, also believe him!"

Liu Ziyu was hesitating, and countless war horses on the official road came, and when they arrived in front of the tea shed, they stopped one after another.

The knight on the horse came down, came to Liu Qi, knelt down on one knee and said, "Liu Tong, the official document of the prince is here!"

Liu Qi opened it with a trembling hand, and the few lines in front of him shook his heart.

"Uncle Xin, what happened? Isn't it the Loyal and Righteous Army that wants to use troops against Western Xia? ”

Liu Ziyu watched carefully, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The war of the summer expedition did not come from the Great Song Dynasty, but from the Lianghe Xuanfu Division, which was surprising but expected.

This much-anticipated national war is finally about to start.

Everything is due to strength.
