On the fifth day, Zhang Xiaochun dragged 20,000 troops on the road to Wenshui. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 On the city wall, Fan Qingxing looked at the army in the distance and sighed slightly, Taiyuan is also a border pass, and the soldiers and horses in this vicinity can barely be regarded as a border army, but the border army is now decadent to this point, and there is no strength to fight at all, which makes Fan Qingxing feel helpless.

The city gate was slowly closed, there were only thousands of people in the city, although there were no enemies near Taiyuan, but Fan Qingxing was still cautious, for fear that an enemy would come to sneak attack, but after two days, Fan Qingxing also relaxed, he himself was not a loyal and capable lord, Zhang Xiaochun was better when he was there, and when he was not there, he returned to normal, what should be done, what should be.

Early this morning, he just got up from the concubine's bed, asked the concubine to comb his hair, and his hands touched the concubine's body from time to time, causing the concubine to giggle.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Enemy Attack! Enemy attack! At this time, there was a sudden terrible scream outside, which suddenly made Fan Qingxing's face change greatly, and he hurriedly put his official hat on his head, and rushed out of the room regardless of the shouting of the concubine.

"What's going on? How can there be enemies in my Taiyuan Mansion? Which thief is it? Fan Qingxing couldn't help but say loudly. Taiyuan is surrounded by Yanmen Pass, where the border army of the Great Song Dynasty is stationed, who would have such courage to attack Taiyuan Mansion?

"It's cavalry, countless cavalry have killed it." The subordinate who came to report hurriedly said.

"Cavalry?" Fan Qingxing's face changed greatly after hearing this, and he no longer dared to walk slowly, but asked people to find a war horse, and hurriedly walked towards the city gate, and when he arrived at the city gate, he saw countless cavalry galloping towards the city wall.

"Hurry up and open the city gate, the general of Zhengbei is coming, and he will not open the city gate yet." A stout man in the city, with a big axe in his hand, shouted loudly.

"General of the expedition to the north?" There was a lot of discussion in the city, Li Jing, the general of the expedition to the north, was still a very new thing for the soldiers below, and even most people didn't know about it.

"General Zhengbei," Fan Qingxing was frightened, he naturally knew the name of General Zhengbei, but because he knew, he was frightened and pale, he was not a stupid person, but at this time, he also knew Li Jing's plan, first deceived Zhang Xiaochun's 20,000 troops and came to seize Taiyuan by himself, as for the so-called sending people to inspect Wenshui is just an excuse, if you want to inspect, you will only inspect after capturing Taiyuan.

Resist? Fan Qingxing really couldn't find a reason to resist, not to mention whether Taiyuan's defense could resist Li Jing's cavalry, there were more than 1,000 cavalry at the moment, and how many soldiers and horses were behind, Fan Qingxing didn't know, and Li Jing was the general of the expedition to the north, leading the expedition to Tianhu, and the entire state could be said to be subject to Li Jing's dispatch.

"Open the gates." After thinking about it, Fan Qingxing made a decision without hesitation, and when he refused Li Jing without a legitimate reason, Fan Qingxing could only open the city gate.

With the opening of the city gate and the stationing of Li Daniu's cavalry, Taiyuan City fell into the hands of Li Jing. When Li Jing led the army into Taiyuan City, Fan Qingxing regretted it a little, because Li Jing's soldiers and horses added up to only 6,000 people, not much more than Taiyuan City, and Taiyuan City is next to Yangqu, hold on for a period of time, you can usher in Yangqu's reinforcements, even if you can't kill Li Jing, you can block it under Taiyuan City.

"This general was ordered by the emperor to recruit Tian Hu, and his soldiers and horses are not enough, and he needs the support of a large army. Not ten thousand yet? Li Jing looked at the soldiers on the school ground, crooked, some of them didn't even have armor, most of the armor was tattered, and his face was even more gloomy.

"This, General, this situation is the practice of the imperial court." Fan Qingxing didn't know what Li Jing was like, so he could only say cautiously at this time.

"So, are you telling General Ben that General Ben can't get any soldiers and horses in Taiyuan Mansion? Zhang Xiaochun took away 20,000 soldiers and horses, all like this? Li Jing's heart was full of helplessness, he didn't expect that the soldiers and horses of Taiyuan Mansion he saw would be like this, which made him very disappointed.

"This one is not much better than this, but if you choose carefully, you may be able to select some good seedlings." Fan Qingxing's forehead was covered with cold sweat, looking at the guards on the side, he himself felt a trace of embarrassment, Li Jing's soldiers and horses were much more powerful than these people in front of him.

"Believe it or not, these thousands of people in front of me, I only need three, no, two hundred cavalry to defeat these people head-on." The corners of Li Jing's mouth rose, and he snorted coldly and looked at Fan Qingxing and said.

Fan Qingxing's face was a little ugly, he glanced at the cavalry next to him, and then looked at the crooked Taiyuan Mansion soldiers below, and had to admit that the soldiers and horses of Taiyuan Mansion had no effect, and could only play a role in making up the numbers.

"Da Niu, lead two hundred cavalry to watch, these people can stand here and hold on for half an hour, they will stay in the army, if they can defeat our soldiers, they will become a member of the Northern Army, and if they can defeat our army generals, they will be awarded the corresponding official positions in our army." After Li Jing looked at the thousands of people in front of him, he did not hesitate to regard these thousands of people as a member of the Northern Army.

"General, this, this." Fan Qingxing was about to say something, but he was met by Li Jing's fierce gaze, which frightened him so much that he quickly took back the words in his mouth, and he was even more worried in his heart.

"Fan Tongju, get on the horse, there are not enough soldiers and horses here, we have to go to Yangqu and transfer Yangqu soldiers and horses, this general doesn't know the road, and we need you to lead the way in front." Li Jing said coldly. The soldiers and horses are the most important, the soldiers and horses on the Hedong Road are in hand, block the Jingcheng Pass, in a short period of time, it doesn't matter, use these soldiers and horses, directly kill Wenshui, and incorporate Zhang Xiaochun, this time the task of entering the state is half completed.

"Yes." Fan Qingxing's face was like ashes, he also knew Li Ji's calculations, but unfortunately it was too late, Li Jing ordered someone to close the city gate the moment he entered Taiyuan, at this time, even if Fan Qingxing wanted to send someone to inform Wang that he didn't have this opportunity, more importantly, once he and Li Jing went to Yangqu together, it meant that he and Li Jing were all the way.

Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at Li Jing again, and what caught his eyes was Li Jing's gloomy eyes, which were full of murderous intentions, and the frightened Fan Qingxing quickly lowered his head. He believed that if he didn't agree to Li Jing, his head would fall to the ground now, compared to now, what would happen in the future, Fan Qingxing didn't think about it anymore, and hurriedly responded, at this time Li Jing's face was much better.
