Liu Ji was in Moxi City, and learned from the scouts sent that the Khitan army was retreating from the Weishan Pass of the Anxing Mountains to the grassland, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, this battle with the Khitans was finally over.

The four infantry battalions that Liu Ji brought to Moxi City did not suffer much losses, but the sixteen cavalry battalions were a little broken, and now there are more than 90,000 people left in the sixteen cavalry battalions, and the Uighur cavalry has also lost more than 7,000.
After all, the Khitan people are one of the three major nomadic peoples in the grassland, and this time they were able to repel the Khitan army at such a cost, and Liu Ji was still quite satisfied.
Moreover, this time to repel the Khitan army, there are also a lot of benefits, first of all, Liu Ji also pocketed Moxi County, so that at present, one city and six counties in the entire Ji'an County have fallen into the hands of Liu Ji.
In addition, Liu Ji's soul value has now reached 106678 points, which also removes the 24,000 soul points consumed by summoning Liang Xing and Qiu Rui, and in the second night attack of the Khitans, Liu Ji absorbed more than 70,000 soul points.
In the end, Liu He, who had a force value of 99 points, and Liu Le, who had a force value of 98 points, were two puppet bodyguards, which added two more high-end forces under Liu Ji's command.
Although the Khitan army retreated, Liu Ji did not dare to be careless, for fear that the Khitan people would play tricks and return to the territory of Moxi County, or directly march into the grassland north of the Xishan Pass belonging to the Jing'an army, so he sent a large number of scouts to monitor the movements of the Khitan army, and on the morning of November 4, 426 in the Great Jin Dynasty, through the return of a large number of scouts, Liu Ji finally affirmed that the Khitans had really withdrawn, which also made Liu Ji completely relieved.
Next, Liu Ji left Mengwu's infantry battalion in Moxi City, and the partial general Gong Xun, his two sons Gong Yi and Gong Zhong, as well as his nephew Gong Wu, were temporarily arranged by Liu Ji in the guard battalion, ready to let the four of them get acquainted with the Juan Army, and then entrust them with important tasks.
It turned out that more than 100 soldiers of the remnants of the defenders of Moxi City were directly incorporated into the infantry battalion of Mengwu.
The partial general Gong Xun accepted Liu Ji's arrangement very happily, after all, the Gong family was deeply rooted in Moxi City, although it suffered heavy losses, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, if the people of the Gong family were allowed to continue to stay in Moxi City, Liu Ji would definitely not be at ease.
Liu Ji then led sixteen cavalry battalions, three infantry battalions, and guards battalions, as well as the remaining nearly 9,000 Uighur cavalry, to leave Moxi City and embark on the road back to Chengyin County.
On the morning of November 6, Liu Ji finally arrived outside the east gate of Chengyin City with his army, and Liu Ji prepared to let the sixteen cavalry battalions have lunch here in Chengyin City, and then continued on his way, of which 14 cavalry battalions will still be stationed in the grassland north of Xishan Pass, the remaining two cavalry battalions will be stationed in the small grassland south of Xishan Pass, and the remaining nearly 9,000 cavalry of the Uighur people will also return to the grassland north of Xishan Pass with 14 cavalry battalions.
However, Liu Ji came to the east gate of Chengyin City, Liu Ji suddenly found that the atmosphere was a little wrong, at the gate of the east city gate, Wei Xiaokuan, who welcomed Liu Ji to lead the army to return victoriously, and several infantry battalion captains, after seeing Liu Ji, there was no joy on his face, and they all knelt down together, Wei Xiaokuan said with a bitter face: "Lord, subordinates are derelict in their duties, please punish the lord!" ”
Liu Ji sighed in his heart, and immediately asked, "Xiaokuan, what's wrong?" ”
"The subordinates deserve death, Master Liu and Miss Liu were taken away!"
"What! My dad and Niu Niu were kidnapped? Liu Ji suddenly shouted in a panic.
Wei Xiaokuan knelt on the ground, nodded gloomily and said: "Not only was Master Liu and Miss Liu taken away, but also Steward Liu Tie and infantry captains Li Sien and Li Cunzhang were killed, and Mrs. Lan Qi and Mrs. Lan Xin were also injured, especially Mrs. Lan Qi, who was still ......."
"Uncle Tie is dead! What happened to Ranki? ”
"Lord, Mrs. Lan Qi was originally found to be pregnant, but ...... But now there are no children. ”
Liu Ji's face was very ugly at this time, he jumped off the war horse and walked in front of Wei Xiaokuan, and dragged Wei Xiaokuan up from the ground at once, "Xiaokuan, what the hell is going on?" You explain it to me in detail! ”
Later, through Wei Xiaokuan's narration, Liu Ji's face became more and more hideous, and it turned out that on the night of November 1, a group of masked people suddenly broke into the general's mansion in Chengyin City.
This group of masked people are all strong in martial arts, and the soldiers guarding the General's Mansion can't resist this group of masked people at all, and the infantry captains Li Sien and Li Cunzhang, who are in charge of guarding the General's Mansion, were also easily killed by the two masters of this group of masked people.
After Liu Ji led the army to Moxi City to meet the Khitan army, there were two infantry battalions left in Chengyin City, Le Yi and Wei Xiaokuan, and Le Yi led 110,000 auxiliary soldiers to build the Xishankou Fortress, so the entire Chengyin City was in charge of Wei Xiaokuan, and the two infantry battalions were all led by Wei Xiaokuan.
In order to deal with the Khitan army this time, Liu Ji took away the main force of the guard battalion and all the generals, and the task of guarding the general's mansion was handed over to Wei Xiaokuan.
Wei Xiaokuan also attached great importance to the defense of the General's Mansion, and directly arranged the two fierce generals Li Sien and Li Cunzhang in his infantry battalion to the General's Mansion, and also arranged 500 elite infantry inside and outside the General's Mansion, led by Li Sien and Li Cunzhang.
Li Sien and Li Cunzhang were respectively the seventh and eighth Taibao of the thirteen Taibao in the last year of the Tang Dynasty, Li Sien's force value was 77 points, and Li Cunzhang's force value was 78 points.
It stands to reason that there are two second-rate generals, Li Sien and Li Cunzhang, and five hundred elite infantry guarding the General's Mansion, and there are two infantry battalions in Chengyin City, and the safety of the General's Mansion should be no problem, but that group of masked people is too fierce, and even Li Sien and Li Cunzhang, the two second-rate generals, were killed by the master of the two masked men in a few moves in a one-on-one situation.
When this group of masked men entered the general's mansion, Liu Ji's eight women, Zhang Wanting, Zhou Lanqi, Zhou Lanxin, Lin Xiya, Lin Xiwen, Gu Liati, Su Hena and Hanina, happened to gather in Zhou Lanqi's courtyard because Zhou Lanqi had just been found to be pregnant.
Hearing the shouting and killing, Liu Ji's wife Zhang Wanting immediately made a decision, and took Lin Xiya, Lin Xiwen, Gu Liati, Su Hena and Hanina to hide in the firewood room in this courtyard, Zhou Lanqi and Zhou Lanxin Because they are both second-rate generals, they volunteered to protect Liu Ji's father Liu Hao and sister Liu Niuniu.
When Zhou Lanqi and Zhou Lanxin arrived at the courtyard where Liu Hao and Liu Niuniu lived, they found that Liu Hao and Liu Niuniu, as well as the housekeeper Liu Tie, were all captured by the masked man, Zhou Lanqi and Zhou Lanxin immediately went to save people, but there were many masters in this group of masked people, Zhou Lanqi and Zhou Lanxin were soon injured, and Zhou Lanqi was seriously injured.
