When Qu Duan led his troops to block the Jin army, a group of uninvited guests came to Qingyang Mansion, his foundation.

Although there was a war ahead, there was no tension in the city, the city gate was still opened and closed on time, and the lives of the people were not greatly affected. Of course, it is impossible for a person like Qu Shi Yin to start a family by fire without regard to his lair. To support the front line, he only used more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, on the one hand, because of the restrictions of the terrain, the territory of Huanqing is not suitable for large corps to fight. On the other hand, it is also to prevent someone from maneuvering while he is on the front line to resist the enemy.

More than a dozen horsemen came from the west, and when they came to the city, they stopped their horses. It is easy to see from the dress that all of them are from the army, and the first person is wearing a cyan official robe, and his spirit is flying, it is the Xuanfu Disposal Division, Liu Ziyu. The sergeant guarding the gate spotted the very unscrupulous men, and waited for them to come, and then blocked the way.

Because Liu Ziyu was wearing an official robe, the city gate official was quite polite, and he hugged his fists and asked, "Dare to ask where the chief came from?" ”

Liu Ziyu arched his hands to the west and said loudly: "Feng Xuanfu disposes of the commander, go to Qingyang Mansion on a business trip, and make way." ”

The officer's expression changed slightly, Xuanfu Disposal Division? I heard before that after Li Xuanfu left office, a minister who had been a privy envoy in the court entered Shaanxi to preside over the military and government, and it is said that he was still the uncle of Qin Fengxu Dashuai and Jingyuan Xu Jingluo. It's just that these things are not in his turn as a small city gate official, and he doesn't have the courage to stop them, so he ordered them to be released.

Liu Ziyu and his entourage entered the city and went straight to Shuaisi. According to the rules, Shuai Shouqu went out, and the deputy marshal Liu Guangshi should be in charge of daily affairs. But when Liu Ziyu entered the Shuaifu and asked, Liu Guangshi was not in the government office at all. The one sitting in the hall was just a commander under Qu Duan. Liu Ziyu naturally didn't need to talk to him more, and after simply reporting the situation of the Xuanfu Disposal Division sending the Jingyuan Army to aid Huanqing, he went to Liu Guangshi's residence.

"Xiaguan Liu Ziyu, I have seen the deputy marshal." In Liu's house, Liu Ziyu gave a salute to Liu Guangshi, who came out in a hurry.

It turned out that although Liu Guangshi was named deputy marshal in Huanqing, he was actually in name only, and he couldn't do anything. I didn't even go to the yamen, I just lived happily at home. At first glance, I heard that Xuanfu was disposing of the person who was coming, so I hurriedly came out.

"What is Xu Xiang's message?" Liu Guangshi's face was flushed, and he obviously drank wine.

Liu Ziyu turned a blind eye and said in a low voice: "Xu Xuanfu is afraid that Huanqing will fight alone, and he is afraid that something will happen, so he specially sent the Jingyuan army to support. Xu Yan, the eldest son of Xu Yuan, the commander of Jingyuan, has led the army to step down from the office, and the evening will come. ”

Liu Guangshi didn't hear the mystery at the beginning, and nodded frequently: "Okay, good, Xu Xiangshen is far-sighted......" The words stopped abruptly here, and after a slight pause, he asked in a lost voice, "What?" Who was sent? ”

"Jingyuan Xu Jingluo." Liu Ziyu replied.

"Xu Yuan? Not Xu Jiu? Liu Guangshi was taken aback. He had also heard of the contradiction between Xu Yuan and Qu Duan, and now Xu Xuanfu sent Xu Da's troops into Qingyang Mansion, what did this mean?

"It's indeed Jingyuan Xu Jingluo. When the officials came, they reported in advance, and asked Vice Marshal Liu to make preparations. Liu Ziyu said.

Ready? It's worth playing, what to prepare? However, there are some words that can be known by heart, but they can never be broken. At the moment, he didn't ask much, and most of the wine was sober, thinking about the fact that now in and around Qingyang Mansion, there are Quduan's cronies and troops, and he can't do anything in the name of a deputy marshal, so how can he respond?

Thinking of this, he asked, "Does Xu Xuanfu have any clear instructions?" ”

Liu Ziyu glanced at him and whispered, "Yes." ”

From the end of July to the beginning of August, the fiercest fighting since the Second Song-Xia War broke out again in the area of Dashun City. The Jin army, under the command of Han Chang, the commander of the Han army, stormed the Song defense line. Unfortunately, his opponent was Quduan. As soon as the latter arrived in Dashun City, it was convenient for all parts of the traffic to rush and set up checkpoints and send troops to prepare for war. The war was difficult, although the Jin army was fierce and good at fighting, but the Huanqing army took advantage of the geographical advantage and stubbornly defended. After seven or eight days, he barely tore a hole in the defense line of the Huanqing Army and approached the city of Dashun.

At this time, the city has been enriched with defense at the end of the curve, and it has been made like an impregnable wall. Moreover, the Song army did not seem to plan to defend the city and deal with the Jin army, and when the Jurchen soldiers approached the city, Qu Duan personally led the army out of the city to meet the battle. The two sides fought in the west of Dashun City, fighting from morning to sunset, the Song army was supported by a nearby military village, and the Jin army was defeated. Han Chang had no choice but to retreat, and Qu Duan did not chase after him. In the next few days, Han Chang did not dare to act rashly, and the two armies fell into a stalemate.

On the fourth day of the first month of August, Qu Duan held a banquet in Dashun City to reward officers who had made meritorious contributions in battle. Suddenly, it was reported that the Jin army was attacking Suyuan Village in the southwest of Dashun City! Around Dashun City, there are two villages of Suyuan and Dingyuan, each with hundreds to thousands of soldiers. These two military villages are the barriers of Dashun City, one has police, and both can be reinforced. The Jin army obviously discovered this and planned to pull out Suyuan Village first, and then try to Dashun City. Qu Duanxiang ruled the army with authority, and immediately ordered the banquet to be withdrawn, replaced with a map, and formulated a contingency policy on the spot.

The officers fought hard, and finally got a chance to be happy, but they were disrupted halfway, and no one dared to complain, and they all gathered around Qu Duan and listened to his orders.

"Suyuan Village is the pioneer of Dashun City, and there is no room for error. This village is erected on the waist of the ridge, and the post road is controlled in the south. Who wants to lead the troops to the rescue? Qu Duan asked, looking at the map.

Before anyone could answer, a shrill cry rang out through the hall. "Report!"

One person rushed into the hall, wearing a straight jacket, carrying a waist knife, his face was covered with sweat, and he was dusty. In his appearance, when he encountered some urgent matter, he still did not forget the etiquette, and as soon as he entered the threshold, he stopped, clasped his fists and saluted, and reported to the dispatch. But it was an officer from Qingyang Mansion.

Seeing his anxious appearance, Qu Duan's heart moved, took a few steps forward, and asked loudly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Handsome! The day before yesterday, the Xuanfu Disposal Division sent personnel to Qingyang City to convey Xu Xuanfu's purpose. Yan Xu Xiang was worried about the war, and he was afraid that Huanqing's lone division would lose the battle, so he sent Jingyuan Xu Jingluo Department to join Huanqing to help in the war! The officer was half-kneeling and shouted loudly.

A word full of surprise! A dry battle will be overshadowed, what? Sending troops into Huanqing to help in the war? And it was sent by Xu Yuan's department? What does this mean? Don't tell me that Xu Xuanfu doesn't know that Xu Yuan has a holiday with our handsome, right? You sent his troops into Huanqing, are you really here to help in the war?

Qu Duan is calm, right? The two armies faced each other, and the people who didn't even blink their eyelids couldn't help but panic at this time. He knew that Xu Yuan had a deep resentment towards him, if he let his troops enter Qingyang Mansion City, would he still have it? Therefore, regardless of his prestige, he asked angrily: "Where is the Jingyuan Army now?" ”
