Pei Ji, the commander of the Qinglan Army, took more than 20 horsemen and rushed to the garrison of the Northern Route Army as quickly as possible.

Xiong Er led him to Qin Guan's tent.

Pei Ji is in his forties this year, and he has long heard how this Da Zhao champion and the emperor personally conferred the word immortal, and now Da Zhao's two big victories against the Liao State are all from this hand.

When he saw Qin Guan, his first feeling was that this Lord Qin was so young.

But he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly saluted: "The last general, Pei Ji, has seen the commander." ”

"General Pei, I'm waiting for you, you can tell me about the situation of the Western Xia Army on the border now." Qin Guan didn't have too much politeness, and said directly.

Pei Ji walked to the table, looked at the map above and said to Qin Guan: "Qin Shuai, Western Xia has gathered 40,000 soldiers and horses, commanded by the great general Zhang Wenxian, and is now stationed near Liangjin on the side of Hengshan on the border of Western Xia, and is eyeing my Great Zhao. ”

As he spoke, he pointed out to Qin Guan on the map where Liangjin was.

Qin Guan looked at the map carefully and asked, "How do you think we should deal with it?" ”

Pei Ji said: "Qin Shuai, we have eight walled cities on the border of Hengshan, Wubao, Yinxing, Jintang, White Leopard, etc., each village has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and villages, connected into a line, as long as the Xixia people have a slight change, we can find it." ”

"Our Qinglan army has 16,000 soldiers, and now the marshal has brought the army over, as long as we block the various bayonets, I believe that the Western Xia people will not dare to attack easily."

Pei Ji's idea was very simple, that is, to defend and use the border walled city to block all the marching routes of the Western Xia army.

Listening to Pei Ji's words, Qin Guan shook his head.

"The border between my Dazhao and Western Xia is hundreds of miles long, it is impossible to completely defend it, Western Xia is cavalry, and it moves fast, if they run to Yongle, the Baode army can't defend it, and if it moves to Huizhou, the Zhenrong army can't defend it."

"Although I can lead troops to support, but in this way, I will fall into complete passivity, the Western Xia army has the initiative, we can only be exhausted, this is not a good way."

After defeating the 20,000 cavalry of Anashi, Qin Guan captured a large number of war horses, and now the Northern Route Army has 20,000 cavalry, and the remaining 20,000 are infantry.

"So what are you going to do?" Pei Ji asked.

Qin Guan said: "Waiting for the enemy to make a decision, this is too passive, I am ready to directly destroy Zhang Wenxian's 40,000 army, so that Western Xia will not dare to invade again." ”

Pei Ji was shocked, "Dashuai, don't you want to take the initiative to attack Western Xia?" ”

"Is there a problem?"

Pei Ji said a little anxiously: "Marshal, now to resist the invasion of the Liao State, we have not been able to catch it, now the Western Xia is just a border Chen soldier, if we take the initiative to attack, it will inevitably provoke a war between the two countries, if the first war can not defeat the Western Xia, the consequences will be very serious." ”

"Western Xia just has an excuse to invade our country, our country is already in a very heavy form, it will become more precarious, and when the time comes, those ministers of the imperial court will inevitably attribute all the responsibility to the marshal, and at that time, the marshal is likely to be criticized."

Qin Guan knew that Pei Ji was thinking about him.

Now that the status of the warriors in the Great Zhao State is low, they will be suppressed by the civil officials if they make a slight mistake, so they have become a little timid.

Qin Guan said: "It is precisely because of the unfavorable domestic war situation that I want to solve the Western Xia as soon as possible, only by scaring the wolf cub of the Western Xia, he does not dare to move in the back, and we can deal with the Liao State wholeheartedly." ”

"But the handsome..."

Qin Guan interrupted Pei Ji with a wave of his hand and said, "I know you are thinking about me, but there are some things that have to be done, I am going to find a place to fight with Zhang Wenxian's army." ”

"You are responsible for guarding Qinglan's front line."

"Organize a group of soldiers who are familiar with the terrain here, and they can be transferred from the walled city, and as for those walled cities, if they don't defend them, they won't defend them."

Pei Ji saw that Qin Guan had made up his mind, and it was not good to persuade him, so he promised to organize two thousand soldiers and villagers to come over after he went back, these people were familiar with the terrain of this generation, and they should be helpful to Qin Guan.

In the next few days, Qin Guan carefully studied the map, and asked the Zhaihu Elementary School, who was most familiar with the terrain, to inquire about the situation, and finally found out the situation here.

Qin Guan already had a fixed mind in his heart.

In the war between Zhao and Xia, one of the most unavoidable focuses was the Hengshan dispute.

Hengshan stretches for more than 1,000 miles, the terrain is dangerous, it is the forefront base of the Western Xia's attack on the Zhao State, the two countries take the Hengshan as the dividing line, roughly the north of the Hengshan Mountain, all belong to the Western Xia, and the south belongs to the Zhao State.

The strategy of the two countries is similar, they are all to build a fortress and defend it in a passable place, Qin Guan put down the red pen in his hand, turned around and walked out of the tent, and the map spread out on the table, a Xixia walled city called "Zhejiang Village" was drawn a red circle.

The night was very deep, without a trace of moonlight, a strange army of 3,000 people, suddenly appeared in Zhejiang Village, and then, there was a fierce fight, but it was soon over, and the night returned to calm.

If it was in normal times, it would never be possible to take Zhejiang Village so easily, but now that Zhao Guo itself is difficult to protect, how can he still have the strength to attack Western Xia, the defensive vigilance of these walled cities has become a lot lax, and they were taken down by this strange soldier sent by Qin Guan in one fell swoop.

After the battle, a group of cavalry will quickly come to report, at this time the Northern Route Army has already been ready, just waiting for the news of victory, knowing that Zhejiang Village was successfully taken, and the enemy did not raise the alarm, immediately ordered the army to set off.

During the day of the next day, Qin Guan led 40,000 people and appeared in the territory of Western Xia, Qin Guan did not take the initiative to find Liangjin to find Zhang Wenxian to fight, but led his troops to the southwest and advanced in the direction of Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia.

Now, Qin Guan no longer hides his whereabouts, and besides, the whereabouts of the 40,000 army are not easy to hide.

"Whoa."

Zhang Wenxian was having dinner with several of his generals, and after hearing the news, he suddenly stood up and knocked over the dining table in front of him, spilling plates and chopsticks on the ground.

Zhang Wenxian's eyes widened angrily at this moment, and he yelled at the captain: "What are you talking about, the army of Zhao State attacked Jiang Zhai at night, and it has entered my Great Xia through Hengshan and killed it towards the capital. ”

"It's the marshal, we found traces of the Zhao army this morning."

"There are tens of thousands of troops, who is the commander of Zhao State!" Zhang Wenxian asked.

"There are about forty or fifty thousand people in the Zhao army, and Shuai Qi is a "Qin" character, and I don't know who the specific subordinates are. The lieutenant returned.

When Zhang Wenxian heard the word Qin, he suddenly remembered someone.

Qin Guan.

Zhang Wenxian was a martial artist and had never heard of Qin Guan before, but since he knew that Qin Guan had become the commander of the Northern Route Army and was responsible for the first-line defense of Western Xia, he naturally got to know him a little.

Liao invaded Zhao State, Zhao State was defeated and retreated, the only two victories were fought by this Zhao State champion, and now Qin Guan has been rumored to be a god, saying that he has a bully Yong, a scholar Zhuge Zhi, and the stars descend to earth.

Of course, Zhang Wenxian didn't believe it.
