Lulongcheng is located in the north of Pingzhou, at the southern foot of Dayan Mountain, near Lushui, and ten miles southwest is the intersection of Luan and Luan. It has the advantage of water, and there are hills and star arches all around, which belongs to an important city in the corridor of western Liaoning.

Luanshui rushed southward, radial to the Bohai Sea, indifferent to the war that took place in Lulong. Since more than ten days ago, there has been a tense atmosphere in this Pingzhou administrative office, and 20,000 Khitan troops have besieged it.

Although the armor of this Khitan army is not neat, the weapons used are not bad, and it can be seen that it is an elite. In Lulong City, counting the officers and troops who came from the support of Macheng in the south, the soldiers and civilians in the city were less than 7,000.

Although the Khitans are not good at attacking cities, with their thin soldiers and outnumbered people, they have resisted the Khitan soldiers for so long, and their ability to assassinate Shi Qiujing is "visible".

The sun was slanting in the west, Qiu Jing was dressed in scarlet clothes, and under the escort of several officials, he personally went to Lulong Dongguan to inspect. The scarlet robe was lined with iron armor, and the steps were a lot heavier, the beard was long and unkempt, and Qiu Jing was tired all over his body.

"Lord Thorn Shi!" The sergeants saluted Qiu Jing with respectful expressions.

Qiu Jing has been in Pingzhou for more than two years, and he is already a "good official", quite popular, and after more than ten days of siege, he has won the admiration of the army and the people. At this time, he looked like a diligent person, and comforted the soldiers with gentle words.

"The counterinsurgency army is coming, the Khitans are about to withdraw from the siege, and the soldiers will hold on for another day or two......"

Such words, Qiu Jing opened his mouth, the key is that the soldiers and civilians below still believe it, of course, what he said is also the truth. Zhang Xuanyu and Cao Renshi had already led their troops eastward to aid Lu Long.

"General Wang, the Khitans have not moved!" Ascending to the top of the city, Qiu Jing asked a general.

Shaking his head, Wang pointed to the Khitan camp outside the city and said, "I was about to inform Lord Qiu." The enemy army is very strange, these days, the Khitans are besieging but not attacking, although the enemy camp has many flags, but the camp is unusually quiet......"

As he spoke, the general surnamed Wang looked at Qiu Jing: "The last general thinks that the thief chief is playing some tricks, and there may be an empty camp outside." I want to lead the army out of the city to test a thing or two, what does Lord Qiu think? ”

Hearing his words, Qiu Jing immediately waved his hand and persuaded: "General, the enemy army is strong, our army is weak, it is better to hold the city and wait for General Zhang's reinforcements!" ”

This general obviously has an idea, and waved his hand again and again: "Don't worry, Lord Qiu, my heart is unbearable, I only make a temptation, in order to observe the reality of the Khitan people!" ”

"General!" Noticing the rigidity on Wang's face, Qiu Jing's tone was anxious. was directly interrupted by him, and he resolutely ordered his troops out of the city.

The city gate slowly opened, and five hundred horsemen galloped out, heading straight for the Khitan. On the city wall, Qiu Jing's face calmed down, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he secretly sighed in his heart, this horseman didn't need him to put too much effort into it, and he moved by himself.

The Khitan army outside the city, of course, is eccentric. Looking into the distance, looking at the big banners with the word "Li" in the enemy camp, Qiu Jing's eyes became deep.

Wang's temptation soon had a result, and the whole army was wiped out. Lu Longcheng, the military and political affairs were smoothly picked up by Qiu Jing.

To appease the commotion caused by the rash attack, Qiu Jing returned to the Thorn Shi Mansion with a tired face, and only rested for a moment in the second hall, then retreated left and right and went to the study alone.

"What is the movement of Zhang Xuanyu's army?" At the corner of the light and shadow, Qiu Jing looked at the delicate black shadow and asked in a deep voice.

"He's drilling into Li Qianzhong's pocket, you don't have to worry about the matter over there. The order of the eldest sister, on your side, control all the military and political affairs of Pingzhou as soon as possible! Xiaomei's cold voice sounded, and she commanded Qiu Jing slowly.

"I want to know, if the Khitans defeat the imperial counterinsurgency army and sweep through Youji, even if they control a small Pingzhou, what is the use?" Qiu Jing's old face was serious, staring straight at Xiaomei's back.

laughed coldly, Xiaomei didn't mean to explain it, and said coldly: "Eldest sister has her own ideas, you just need to do your own thing." Assist the Snake Spirit and take control of this frontier army in Lulong City! ”

opened her mouth, Qiu Jing still wanted to say something, but in a blink of an eye, Xiaomei was gone. Looking at the empty window, Qiu Jing stayed for a while, smiled slowly, and muttered in a low voice: The Turks are not good, can they fight against the Great Zhou by relying on the Khitan? Amusing......

After sneering for a while, thinking about his situation, Qiu Jing couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh from his mouth.

At the junction of the two states of Pingji, there is a small stone city. Autumn is high and cool, it is the season of Zhuhu to use force, a few days of effort, two consecutive waves of Great Zhou army passed by. Now, another army has ushered in, the scale is not large, three or four thousand foot cavalry, and Yuan Hui is one of the generals.

Because of the war, there was a lot of depression in the city, and the army was outdated, leaving hundreds of soldiers to assist in the garrison, all of which were heavy troops.

"What's going on here, you're in charge?" Straddled into the city and found the leading captain, Yuan Langjun asked condescendingly.

After observing Yuan Langjun's eyes, how dare the little lieutenant slack off, and immediately tell the situation.

At the beginning, Li Quanzhong led the army to attack Lulong, Pingzhou, and the siege of the city was unsuccessful. The envoy of Cha Wu Cao arrived and ordered the generals to move troops to suppress the Khitan rebels.

Zhang Xuanyu and Cao Renshi and others led the army to move, and the speed was not slow, and when they arrived in Yutian, Jizhou, the request for help from Pingzhou became more and more urgent. Zhang Xuanyu and Cao Renshi led the cavalry to march eastward, leaving the infantry and baggage troops to slow down.

The rear army, under the command of the general Ma Renjie and other generals, crossed Shicheng two days late. Fang Zhi, the former convenience came Zhang Xuanyu's military order, saying that General Zhang had defeated Li Quanzhong's main force under Lulong City, urging the infantry to accelerate the eastward advance with baggage.

did not dare to disobey the order, and the rear army, under the leadership of Ma Renjie and other generals, also pulled out the camp and marched.

After listening to his report, Yuan Hui's eyebrows jumped, he looked at a rather heroic general beside him, touched his chin and said, "General Yang, what do you think?" ”

"I'm afraid it's not good!" After only two blinks, the man replied briefly.

The general's name was Yang Xuanji, who was the governor of Yanshan Road appointed by Wu Cao, and had previously garrisoned Jizhou. When Yuan Langjun marched from Danzhou, he communicated with him, and blew about some of his "foresight", and it was very simple that Yang Xuanji and Yuan Hui joined forces to march eastward.

"With such an obvious strategy of encircling the point to help, Zhang Xuanyu can't even see it." Yuan Hui looked serious and said coldly: "What defeated the enemy and Lu Long City, I'm afraid that it is Li Quanzhong's trick, and the rear army is also dangerous!" ”

Yang Xuanji frowned twice, looked to the east, and his gaze became sharp: "General Yuan, as you said!" ”

"General Yang, do you dare to go with Yuan's troops?" With a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, Yuan Hui turned to Yang Xuanji.

"Zhang and Cao are incompetent, but I, Yang, have to do my part for the lives of my Great Zhou soldiers!" Yang Xuanji's expression was extremely firm.

"Zhang Zhi!" Seeing this, Yuan Langjun immediately shouted: "Take your people and explore the enemy for me!" ”
