On October 2, Fuxi arrived in the capital. I stayed in the post house, then went to the palace to ask if I could see the king. The king immediately said yes. Fu Xi went to the side hall alone to meet him. Wu Shouwen, the king of Xiang Kingdom, smiled and said, "Is Xi'er here?" Fu Xi knelt down and said, "My nephew is meeting my uncle." Wu Shouwen said with a smile, "Okay, I'll accept the ceremony. Xi'er got up and spoke." Fu Xi stood up and sat down. Wu Shouwen said: "Xi'er has made great contributions to this drought. Many places have learned from you in water conservancy, and they have tasted the benefits this year. The country of Xiang has benefited greatly. I asked you for food temporarily, and Xi'er paid it immediately without any nonsense. This year The general bumper harvest and high yield of soybeans are inseparable from your agricultural measures and high-yielding grain seeds. In addition, Xiang Ming and Wang Shiping are full of praise for you. You are indeed well-deserved for your promotion to the northern county governor." Fu Xiyan said: "Thank you uncle for the reward." Wu Shouwen said: "You and I are one, and it should be like this. It is the common goal of everyone to do our best to build Xiangguo." Fu Xiyan said yes. Wu Shouwen said: "Information says that the Khitan has raised troops and will enter the pass soon. After tomorrow morning, you should go back early and provide logistical support. Let Xiang Ming and Wang Shiping do the rough things of fighting." Fu Xi said: "Uncle Xie Kindheartedness. I will go to the battlefield to fight some small and stable battles. I am not qualified for vicious and cruel battles, but I must go to the battlefield." Wu Shouwen said: "Okay. The tiger father has no dog son, but don't show off." Fu Xi promise.
On the third day, morning. When the ministers saw Fu Xi, they came over one after another to greet him and congratulate him on his promotion to county governor. Fu Xi responded with a smile. At the end of the morning meeting, Guo Qilin, Secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "A secret agent reported that Yan Xiangshan of Jin State is not in good health." Wu Shouwen said: "Let the intelligence system pay full attention to it. If there is any news, report it to me immediately." Guo Qilin said yes.
On the 6th, after quickly visiting all parties, Fu Xi left Beijing and rushed to the same county. The best of the five counties, 2,000 cavalry, were in the same county.
On the seventh day, Fuxi arrived in the same county. After receiving the report, the three Khitan princes commanded 20,000 cavalry and entered Tieguan City on the 5th. Fu Xi immediately led his cavalry to Qi County. On the eighth day, Fuxi arrived in Qixian County. Xiang Ming, the general who conquered the West, and Wang Shiping, the Anbei general, were both there. When they saw Fu Xi coming with 2,000 cavalry, they were all happy and said with a smile: "Sit back and watch the Khitan attack."
After Fuxi sat down, information came from the five counties. It was announced in Su County that the four young ladies were all giving birth to daughters, named Fu Yao, Fu Ying, Fu Qiong, and Fu Jin. The veterans were horrified after hearing this. One by one they were disappointed, and they began to look forward to the next round. Fu Xi couldn't help but think of Fu Yu, and her heart ached. The harvest in Suxian County includes 530,000 acres of old cultivated land, with an average yield of 220 catties per mu, 100,000 acres of reclaimed land last year, with an average yield of 180 catties per mu, and 200,000 acres of reclaimed land this year, with an average yield of 130 catties per mu. In the harvest of Wei County, the average yield per mu of 500,000 acres of old cultivated land is 210 kilograms, and the average yield per mu of 100,000 acres of reclaimed land is 130 kilograms. In the same county, there are 480,000 acres of old cultivated land, with an average yield of 190 catties per mu, and 100,000 acres of reclaimed land, with an average yield of 120 catties per mu. The harvest in Qi County covers 490,000 acres of cultivated land, with an average yield of 170 kilograms per mu. In the county harvest, there are 450,000 acres of cultivated land, with an average yield of 170 kilograms per mu. The industrial and commercial tax in Qi County reached 1,500 yuan in September. The main income comes from the printing factory, which is constantly expanding. Fu Xi felt a little warmer.
On the 9th, urgent military information came from Yu County. 20,000 Jin troops and 20,000 Khitan cavalry attacked the county on the 8th. Xiang Ming, Wang Shiping and Fu Xi held a meeting. Wang Shiping said: "The enemy knew that it would be unfavorable to attack Qi County, so they attacked the county instead, and then besieged the city and called for reinforcements." Fu Xi nodded after hearing this. Xiang Mingyan asked: "How does General Wang respond?" Wang Shiping said: "Report to the king and ask for reinforcements. Before the reinforcements arrived, I led 2,000 cavalry under my command (captured horses, the cavalry was increased) to harass their food transportation, and threatened the general and Fujun. Shou is always available to help me." Xiang Ming said hello. After agreeing on a secret signal, Wang Shiping led 2,000 cavalry out of the city.
On the 11th, news came from Yu County that the Jin army's attack on the county was unfavorable, with many casualties. Yu County has 10,000 troops and sufficient armaments, which the Jin army did not expect. Wang Shiping received news that on the 10th, he attacked the Jin army's grain shipments and burned them all. Then disappeared. On the 12th and 13th day of the twelfth and thirteenth day, I did not see the grain transportation of the Jin army, so I went south, hoping to attack other Jin counties. When I went to the county to transport grain, I encountered a Khitan cavalry force, numbering about 2,000. Wang Shiping had the upper hand. Wang Shiping's soldiers were treated the same as Fu Xi's city defense troops. The food and Li's exercises greatly improved the combat effectiveness of Wang Shiping's army. After fighting for a while, I felt something was wrong. I suspected that the Khitan detachment was surrounding them and quickly retreated south. Sure enough, after a while, two groups of Khitan cavalry came together. Since the Khitan grain transport was attacked, they sent their cavalry out to search like a net. Wang Shiping was alert and escaped.
On the 15th, Jiang Meng, the general of the Xiangguo reinforcements to Zhennan, led 20,000 people to the southern border of the county to join Wang Shiping. It was agreed that Wang Shiping would attack the grain transport team again and find the Khitan cavalry. He would lead the Khitan cavalry to the ambush formed by Chiang Meng's army and annihilate them.
On the 16th, Wang Shiping attacked, but failed to meet him. On the 17th, Wang Shiping discovered the grain transport team and went to attack it. The Khitan cavalry came to support them and they fought. Soon, several groups of Khitan cavalry came to help. Wang Shiping retreated hastily, with about 8,000 Khitan cavalry in hot pursuit. When they arrived at a forest, there was a sudden burst of arrows, and countless arrows were shot at the Khitan cavalry. Then, the spearmen were in front, the sword and shield soldiers were behind, and the last ambush of archers rushed out. Wang Shiping's cavalry turned their horses and gradually accelerated. Behind the Khitan cavalry, Jiang Meng led 5,000 cavalry from behind the forest and accelerated. The Khitan people knew that they were lying in ambush, so they turned their horses' heads one after another and headed back to fight. Jiang Meng and Wang Shiping took the opportunity to harvest the Khitan's tail army. After the battle, it was discovered that there were 2,000 Khitan cavalry left behind. No one was left alive, so they were all killed. Wang Shiping's 10 surgeons with the army quickly treated the wounded, leaving 101 Xiang soldiers dead and 562 wounded. Jiang Meng was overjoyed. Wang Shiping said: "These doctors were trained by Fu County Governor with great efforts. There are also 20 army doctors in Qixian County." Jiang Meng said: "Fu Xixian's nephew is indeed a great talent in internal affairs."
Jiang Meng sent a message, telling Yu County that the reinforcements had arrived, and told Xiang Ming that the reinforcements were in the southern border of the county and had destroyed part of the Khitan army. He wanted to join forces with Xiang Ming to attack the Khitan and Jin forces in Yu County.
On the 18th, I replied to Ming, yes. A general offensive was launched in the early morning of the 21st. On the 19th, Jiang Meng, Xiang Ming, and Yu County all confirmed that they would launch a general attack on the Khitan and Jin forces in the early morning of the 21st.
In the early morning of the 21st, the Xiang army launched a general attack on the Khitan and Jin armies. The defenders of Yu County formed a thick formation on the east side of the Jin army's camp and attacked with a large number of trebuchets. The Qixian infantry formed a thick formation on the north side of the Jin army's camp and attacked with a large number of trebuchets. Jiang Meng and Wang Shiping attacked from the south on foot and on horseback. The Jin army and the Khitan were caught off guard and attacked, resulting in heavy casualties. Soon, the Khitan cavalry rushed towards the defenders of Yu County. The defenders of Yu County fired arrows, and Jiang Meng's 5,000 cavalry, Wang Shiping's 2,000 cavalry, and Xiang Ming's 5,000 cavalry immediately came to the rescue. Tens of thousands of cavalry fought together. Wang Shiping's 2,000 cavalry performed particularly well, with great strength and endurance, making the cavalry on both sides evenly matched. The Jin army was very passive when it was attacked by trebuchets in the camp. They decisively abandoned the camp and rushed towards the Qixian infantry. Fu Xi's 2,000 cavalry and Xiang Ming's 5,000 infantry gathered together. Seeing the Jin army rushing towards them, they hurriedly fired arrows for help. Chiang Meng's 15,000 infantry immediately responded and marched north. The Jin army suffered heavy losses in consecutive days of siege, and was severely attacked by trebuchets. Only 15,000 people were left, and their morale was low. They could not break through Xiang Ming's thick formation of 5,000 infantry. Fu Xi led 2,000 cavalry to run and penetrate the Jin army's flank. Fuxi's 2,000 cavalrymen were mostly veterans with excellent physical fitness. The horses were comfortably served by the horse breeding center, so they had extremely strong combat effectiveness and penetrated the Jin army like cutting tofu. The Jin army was in chaos, and Jiang Meng's 15,000 infantrymen also came over. The Jin army was in chaos. Seeing that the situation was not going well, the third prince, the Khitan commander, led the Khitan cavalry to break through and retreat. However, they were severely bitten by the Xiangjun cavalry, resulting in the loss of about 3,000 people. The Jin infantry was almost completely wiped out, with only a few senior officers escaping. 52 of Wang Shiping's cavalry died, only 2 of Fuxi's cavalry died, 201 of Jiang Meng's cavalry died, and 156 of Xiangming's cavalry died. There were numerous injuries, but the army doctors all treated them in time. The Jin army captured 11,000 people. The Xiang army was victorious.
