Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Weizhou at this time is not like the era before Ximen Qing's crossing in the later generation, surrounded by barren mountains and ridges.

In fact, Weizhou has a mild climate, abundant grass and lush forests, and generous vegetation. On the rolling hills is the same rolling forest area.

In the north of Weizhou City to the east of Longshan Mountain, there is a clear and wide river, which is the famous Jing River through the ages.

The soil on both sides of the Jing River is fertile, and the humus under the untouched ancient forests can be as thick as one or several feet.

I saw tea trees and mulberry trees in patches and bands in the ditches where the Jing River flows.

Because of the green mountains and green waters, all kinds of birds and beasts can be seen everywhere.

The cities scattered among the green trees are the marketplaces of Weizhou.

When there is no war, every summer here herdsmen, farmers and merchants from Chang'an Jingzhao Mansion trade caterpillars, parrots, dragon beard mats, musk, soil silk, war horses, felt, wild fruits, Jinghe fish, tea, etc. commodity.

When the war broke out, the merchants who had no time to escape ignored their business and hid in the city one after another.

However, the people in the city have a hidden worry, they don't know how long the Chu army in the city can hold on.

Weizhou City is located on the second platform of Nanshan Mountain to the south of the Jing River. The city is gourd-shaped and consists of three small circular cities.

Such a city shows that Weizhou City is more like a defensive castle.

It is precisely because the defenses of the three small towns are not wide that Qu Duan, the commander of Jingyuan Road Economic and Strategy Division, was able to repel the attacks of the Xixia Army with the few soldiers in the city.

At this time, Xi Gong, the envoy of Weizhou Economic Strategy, was in charge of the overall situation in the city.

Leading the troops to defend the three small towns were Qu Duan, the commander of Jingyuan Road Economic Strategy Department, Wu Jie, the deputy director of Jingyuan Road, and Wu Lin, a member of Xuanzanshe of Gemen.

Chapter 993 Wu Jie and Liu Kai

At this time, it was Ximen Qing who was trapped in Weizhou City with Qu Duan, and it was Ximen Qing who asked Ma Kuo to stop by to find the two brothers Wu Jie and Wu Lin who had been wooed.

Ximenqing only remembers that the two brothers Wu Jie and Wu Lin were also famous anti-gold generals in the Southern Song Dynasty in history, but he can't remember the specific process of Wu Jie and Wu Lin's fame and promotion.

Ximenqing only remembers that Wu Jie became famous in the Battle of Monk Yuan during the war against Jin in Shaanxi, and gradually grew into the commander of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Song Army during the confrontation with the Jin army.

Therefore, Ximenqing thought that when the Jin army did not attack Shaanxi, the two brothers Wu Jie and Wu Lin were still not well-known low-level officers in the Western Army.

Unexpectedly, the two brothers Wu Jie and Wu Lin were already well-known in the Western Army because of their bravery.

In the fifth year of Wu Jie's 34th year, he was born in Longgan, Deshun Army, Jingyuan Road. Because his grandfather was buried in Shuiluo, southeast of Deshun Army, he moved to Shuiluo City.

The Shunde Army is located to the west of Weizhou, adjacent to Weizhou across a Long Mountain.Therefore, Wu Jie, like Qu Duan, who was born in Zhen Rongjun, is a native of Jingyuan Road, and he is very familiar with the local geography.

Wu Jie has a serious personality, is good at riding and shooting, and is familiar with classics and history. He is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs.

Growing up in the borderlands, he was influenced by the spirit of martial arts, and Wu Jie also became more martial arts, so he joined the army as a young man and joined the Western Army.

During the Xuanhe period, Wu Jie participated in the suppression of the Fangla riots in the south of the Yangtze River as a team general, and then went north to Hebei with the army under the command of Taiwei Tong Guan.

In Hebei, Wu Jie followed the western army to attack the Liao Kingdom in the north, but returned in a disastrous defeat.

After returning to Hebei, Wu Jie participated in the suppression of the Hebei uprising army and was promoted to general.

In the early years of Jingkang, the Xixia Kingdom took advantage of the Jin army's attack on the Song Dynasty and sent troops to invade the border.

In the battle with the Xixia Army, Quanzheng led Wu Jie to chase with more than a hundred people, and gained a lot.Because of his bravery, he was promoted to the second lieutenant general of Jingyuan Road.

Later, in the offensive and defensive see-saw with the Xixia Army, Wu Jie made repeated military exploits. Because of his tiredness, he moved to the deputy director of Jingyuan Road and became a fierce general of Jingyuan Road.

Wu Jie's brother Wu Lin is 25 and six years old. He is strong and skilled in bow and horse.

When Xixia invaded, Wu Lin served as a pro-army in his brother's army.He followed his elder brother Wu Jie to attack the city and defend Xixia in field battles. He made many military exploits because of his bravery in battle, and tired officials went to the pavilion gate to praise his family.

When Qu Duan was defeated by the Zhen Rong Army and retreated south to Weizhou City, the Weizhou Chu Army met Qu Duan Army at Watingzhai at the junction of Weizhou and Zhen Rong Army, and fought fiercely with the Xixia Army.

In this battle, the Chu army in Weizhou was defeated again, and many generals died in battle, so that Wu Lin was ordered to defend the city together with his elder brother.

Weizhou City is located on the border, and the people in the city have a martial atmosphere. Even a butcher who sells meat dares to call himself "the town of Guanxi".

Therefore, in the face of the Xixia army that surrounded Weizhou City heavily, the people in Weizhou City did not panic.

The reason why the people of Weizhou City are not afraid of the Xixia Army outside the city is because Qu Duan, Wu Jie, Wu Lin and other generals have led their troops to repel more than a dozen attacks of the Xixia Army.

The two are that Weizhou is an important frontier defense town of the imperial court on Shaanxi Fifth Road. The famous general of the Western Army, Mr. Xiaozhong Jinglue, once led the army to station here for a long time.All the soldiers and civilians in the city know that the imperial court will not abandon Weizhou, and will definitely send a large army to relieve the siege.

The military and civilians in Weizhou expected it well. Knowing the Privy Council, Tong Guan, the envoy of Xuanfu of Shaanxi Fifth Road, had issued an order to Shaanxi Fifth Road, asking all the generals to send troops to break the siege of Weizhou.

Under Tong Guan's order, Liu Xi, envoy of Xihe Road, Sun Xie, envoy of Qinfeng Road, Liu Qi, envoy of Jingyuan Road, and Zhao Zhe, envoy of Huanqing Road, all sent troops to reinforce Weizhou.

The Chu State was newly established, and it also learned the lessons of the military failures of the Song Dynasty. It did not implement the policy of using culture to control military forces, and there was no wooden plan issued by the Privy Council, requiring the frontline troops to march according to the route set by the Privy Council.

Knowing the Privy Council, Tong Guan, the Xuanfu envoy of the Fifth Shaanxi Route, only issued orders to start the war, but delegated more military command power to the envoys.

With the decentralization of power by the imperial court, the Shaanxi Five-Route Economic Strategy Envoy suddenly "eight immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers", and killed the Xixia army from all directions.

Xihe Road was set up in the fifth year of Xining in the Northern Song Dynasty (1072), and the old system was followed after the establishment of Chu State.

Xihe Road governs Xizhou, and governs Xizhou, Hezhou, Taozhou, Minzhou, Lanzhou, Langzhou, Huangzhou, Xining Prefecture, Tongyuan Army, and Jishi Army.

Xihe Road is located on the west side of Jingyuan Road, bordering the Xixia Kingdom in the north and Tubo in the west. If all the Jingyuan Road in the east fell into the hands of the Xixia Army, Xihe Road would be surrounded by the Xixia Kingdom and it would be difficult to protect itself.

Therefore, when he learned that the Zhenrong Army had fallen and that the main force of the Xixia Army had encircled Weizhou, Liu Xi, the envoy of Xihe Road, immediately organized his army to prepare for the eastward advance.

Unexpectedly, when Xihe Road was preparing to send troops, new military situations appeared in Lanzhou and Xining Prefectures.

The deputy marshal of the Xixia Army, Wu Ming, suddenly led his troops to conquer Huizhou, then crossed the Qingshui River westward, and approached the city of Lanzhou.

At the same time, the Liangzhou army and horses of the Xixia Kingdom also approached Xining and Huangzhou to the south.

For a time, wars broke out in all the prefectures to the north of Xihe Road, and Liu Xi had to turn his horse around to rescue Lanzhou to the north because of the strategy of Xihe Road.

Liu Xi is also a typical son of a general in the Northern Song Dynasty. His father, Liu Zhongwu, was a general of the Western Army in the late Song Dynasty. He served as the commander of Jingyuan and Xihe Road.

Just like Liu Guangshi inherited Liu Yanqing's army, Liu Xi also inherited his father Liu Zhongwu's army, and became the commander of Xihe Road as he wished.

The fierce general Liu Kai recommended by Ma Kuo to Ximenqing was the brother of Liu Xi, the envoy of Xihe Road.

When Ma Kuo found his sworn brother Liu Kai, Liu Kai was serving as a general under his elder brother Liu Xi and was ordered to recruit Fan archers in Taozhou and Minzhou.

After Ma Kuo found Liu Kai, he told him that through his own recommendation, the privy envoy Ximen Qing was very eager to meet Liu Kai, and intended to transfer Liu Kai to the reorganized bodyguard as a general, and cultivated Liu Kai carefully.

Why didn't Liu Kai understand that since Ximenqing, the privy envoy, led troops into Beijing and wiped out 20 Zhao's Restoration Army in one fell swoop, all the troops in Bianliang City in Tokyo have been controlled and reorganized by Ximenqing.

Today's Dianqian Division and the guards are all direct descendants of Ximen Qing.

I was recommended by my righteous brother Ma Kuo, and I was able to serve as a general in the bodyguard next to the Privy Councilor of Ximen Qing. Naturally, I was trained as a future direct descendant.
