The war in Xingyuan Mansion in Hanzhong was full of twists and turns, causing heavy losses to both the Jin and Song Dynasties. Wu Jie looked at Wanyan Sali in front of him and had a splitting headache.
Wanyan Sali looked at Wu Jie who was guarding the Immortal Pass and cursed loudly.
As a famous general of the Jin Kingdom, he was not completely temperamental. He suffered such huge losses from Wu Jie, but he still failed to do his best.
When it was time to fight, he moved with lightning speed, and when he evacuated, he did not hesitate. A famous general was rising in front of him.
Under this situation, Wanyan Salihe, who would be one of the future Yanqing heroes of the Jin Kingdom, was naturally a little anxious. He did not stop the attack on Xianren Pass, and even did not hesitate to mobilize real Jin soldiers and horses from the rear again.
As soon as the attack started, Wanyan Salihe fell directly into Wu Jie's plan.
When Wanyan Salihe looked at Liu Ziyu, who had been almost beaten, he didn't take him to heart. Instead, he moved his army to the rear of Xianren Pass and prepared to remove Wu Jie first.
As a result, just when his large army of soldiers and horses were about to arrive at Xianren Pass, they were ambushed by Liu Ziyu.
This plan was brought to Liu Ziyu by Tian Sheng. Liu Ziyu and Wu Jie planned to ambush at Wuxiuguan and wait until the Jin people were in the middle of their advance to intercept and kill them!
Liu Ziyu attacked and killed the middle part of his army on the way, and Wu Jie attacked and killed his rear army. The two of them strangled each other, and the Jin man alone killed no less than a thousand people.
The biggest gain was that the rebel general Li Yanqi was beheaded by Wu Jie on the spot with a single blow.
After receiving such a surprise attack, the Jin people were at a loss and fled in all directions. The rear army hurriedly abandoned all their baggage and evacuated. In this battle, Wu Jie moved back again to gain an advantage.
Wanyan Salihe immediately followed and saw that Liu Ziyu, like Wu Jie, was not an idle person, so he immediately sent an envoy to recruit Liu Ziyu, who had few troops.
Of course, they also sent people to Xianren Pass to recruit Wu Jie to surrender.
But the heads of the two envoys were hung on the city walls the next day.
After seeing this scene, Wanyan Salihe was already prepared, but he still felt a wave of embarrassment.
"These guys are really getting more and more difficult to deal with. Since they won't eat the toast, let's give them a fine drink!
All armies set out to fight to the death! "
Wanyan Sali shouted loudly, and all the Jin army rushed forward. General Zhang Zhongfu personally supervised the battle and frantically attacked Xianren Pass.
Wu Jie was not polite this time. He guarded the Xianren Pass tightly and personally asked his younger brother to guard the rear. He evacuated from the Monk Plains and entered the Xianren Pass directly.
In this way, the entire Immortal Pass was guarded like an iron barrel.
Not only that, there were not many soldiers and horses under Liu Ziyu's command, but they were the real elites of Wu Jie and his command. Wu Jie and Liu Ziyu harassed Jinying with their rangers many times.
The continuous interception of his grain road made the Jin people who came from afar better understand the meaning of the four words "Jianbi Qingye".
As for the Jin general Wanyan Salihe, he was also embarrassed at this time. He thought he had tricked him into the battlefield in the west, but then a surprise attack came from the east to open up the land of Jinzhou and enter Xingyuan Mansion.
As a result, he didn't expect Wu Jie to be able to run like this. He was stunned to drag him back to the battlefield from the west, allowing him to drag his front to an extremely long length.
Although he gained the land of three states, it was really not worth the loss.
However, the Jin man did not give up just like that. After Zhang Zhongfu repeatedly failed to attack Xianren Pass, he turned his head and attacked in another direction, which was Xihe Road where Guan Shigu, the commander-in-chief of the Ma Infantry Army on Xihe Lankuo Road, was stationed.
This time Zhang Zhongfu succeeded.
As a general, Guan Shigu is also the commander-in-chief of the Xihe Lankuo Road Ma Infantry Army. He can be said to have a high position of authority, and the most important thing is that he is very capable.
Under Zhang Zhongfu's attack, Guan Shigu was calm and composed. He first lured the enemy deep and then encircled them on all sides, defeating Zhang Zhongfu's army in one fell swoop. Just when he was about to directly break through Zhang Zhongfu's defense line and rush directly to Hanzhong to assist in the battle.
He also had problems in the rear.
The Jin general Tushimen and his younger brother Wanyanzhong, who were supposed to be fighting in Chang'an, suddenly came to kill Guan Shigu from behind.
It even drove him to a dead end.
The Jin people sent more than ten envoys one after another to persuade Guan Shigu to surrender, but he killed them one by one.
"If you ask me to give you gold, I'm afraid I will shame my ancestors, and all the soldiers will fight to the death with me!"
Guan Shigu did not surrender. He finally saw hope and the hope of the rise of the Song Dynasty. He could not just become the enemy of this hope.
With only two thousand defeated troops, he charged into the Jin army. After a desperate fight, he and the Jin general Tushimen died together, but Wanyanzhong strangled all the Song troops.
This time it was a trap aimed at the Song Army in the southwest today. They cut off an arm of the Song Army in the southwest battlefield in one fell swoop, leaving Wu Jie almost truly isolated and helpless.
It was at this time that the Song Dynasty's heritage began to be revealed.
The Song Dynasty, which could survive on this land for a hundred years and also annihilated the Liao Kingdom that once oppressed it, would not be so vulnerable.
Just when Tushimen and Wanyanzhong led their troops to leave, Liu Qi, the general beside Zhao Huan, immediately discovered the problem.
"Your Majesty, the Jin's attack seems to be still strong today, but the follow-up is weak, which shows that the Jin's troops and horses have changed.
It is very likely that he saw that our army was stationed in Chang'an and refused to retreat, and wanted to mobilize troops to attack General Wu Jie in the southwest or General Li Yanxian in Shaanzhou. "
Although Liu Qi was young, his acumen on the battlefield was terrifying. In the battle that had just ended, he could see that the Jin who attacked their west gate still seemed to be fierce.
But there has been a problem with the connection in the middle.
This is not because the Jin people became tired from attacking Chang'an for days, but simply because one or more soldiers and horses were missing, and then there was a connection problem.
And Zhao Huan really didn't dare to agree with Liu Qi's statement.
"General Qu Duan has reported back today, and there is no movement from the Jin people..."
"Your Majesty, the general's words may be a bit abrupt, but please give the general a chance."
"General, if you have any questions, you can just ask them."
"General Qu Duan is very talented and is loved by many ministers in the DPRK and the Central Government, but...
However, General Qu Duan has always been narrow-minded, unyielding and extremely bad in character.
Qu Duan may not be able to see what's going on, maybe... maybe he just doesn't want to see it. "
What Liu Qi said was a bit heartbreaking. Once this sentence was finalized, Qu Duan would at least be a framed comrade.
Not to mention he was a military general, even if he was a civil servant and a scholar-official, even when the scholar-officials were at their most rampant in the Northern Song Dynasty, he would still have to die here.
"General Liu Qi really said what he said. In that case, I understand."
Zhao Huan didn't say anything more, he just asked Liu Qi to retreat, and then after Liu Qi left, Qu Duan flashed out from behind the screen behind him.
After coming out, he started to say nothing.
"Do you think you can get rid of this matter by keeping your mouth shut?"
Zhao Huan sneered, looking at Qu Duan who still refused to admit his mistake, he felt angry again in his heart.
"Your Majesty, these are just the words of General Liu Qi. If your Majesty uses this to punish the general, the general will not be convinced!"
"Okay, very good." Zhao Huan nodded slightly, then slammed the table in front of him, followed by a group of soldiers and horses from outside the room, and the leader was Tong Guan, the commander of the Imperial City Division.
"When do I need you to be convinced when I do something?
Don’t you know what you did?
Don’t you know why Wang Shu Xie Liang and others died?
For the sake of the overall situation, they deserved their death, so I just gave them a posthumous death.
Now at this time, you still think that you will be punished.
The reason for your resentment is that Wu Jie didn't say anything good for you back then. In order to regain Shaanzhou, Li Yanxian took the initiative to show his favor to Wang Shu, the then general manager of Shaanzhou, and asked Wang Shu to intercede with Li Gang.
Do you really think I don’t know about the calculations in your heart? "
Zhao Huan was really angry. He was trying hard to give this guy a chance, but Qu Duan treated him like a fool time and time again.
Historically, Qu Duan was regarded as the personal cotton-padded jacket of civil servants. In the eyes of some people, Qu Duan could be regarded as a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty, but his talent was not recognized.
But if you look at his affairs, Guan Yu's arrogance cannot be compared with his.
Because no matter how arrogant Guan Yu is, he will not kill his comrades because of his arrogance, but this guy will. Historically, he refused to send troops to rescue Li Yanxian in order to retaliate against him.
Li Yanxian was forced to stay in the isolated city, ran out of ammunition and food, and finally died in Shaanzhou.
Shaanzhou was also completely lost.
He can fight, and he can fight very well, but he can cause harm, very much.
Qu Duan looked at Tong Guan and the people from the Imperial City Division who rushed in. He was not afraid, and he had reason not to be afraid.
Just like his former subordinates Zhang Zhongfu, Zhang Zhongyan and others, they dared to put the war aside and concentrate on harming Liu Qi because they couldn't stand Liu Qi.
His subordinates, Qu Duan, only recognized Qu Duan.
"Your Majesty, the general has no second thoughts and is loyal to the Song Dynasty.
The last general advised us to evacuate Guanzhong, abandon all places east of Tongguan, and garrison Tongguan, Hangu and other places.
When the golden man runs out of food and grass, he will naturally leave.
Our troops are now divided, and although our morale is strong, our strength is insufficient.
Forcing a fight to the death will only hurt both sides, and the great powers will no longer fight day and night.
Your Majesty, before fighting against the outside world, you must first settle down at home! "
"Does this An Nei also include leaving Li Yanxian isolated and helpless?"
"The general said, the general has no selfish motives!"
"Bang!" Zhao Huan kicked the table to the ground.
"You can't see the coffin without crying!"
"Come here, call Qin Hui!"
When Zhao Huan said these words, he felt like he had eaten several bed bugs.
The most important person to deal with this guy Qu Duan is Qin Hui.
At this time, Qu Duan's face also changed drastically after hearing the name Qin Hui.
"The humble minister Qin Hui paid homage to Your Majesty, and I impeached Qu Duan for killing his colleagues and framed our Song Dynasty generals Li Yanxian, Wu Jie and others.
A few days ago, there was a scout battle report. Wu Jie killed the Jin general Wanyan Yinshu brother in Monk Yuan, and the Jin reinforcements rushed to Hanzhong.
Li Yanxian of Shaanzhou killed the enemy general Wanyan Zongqian and began to recover Shaanzhou.
The Jin general Wanyan Pu's slaves came to the aid of Shaanzhou and asked his Majesty to defeat the enemy in Chang'an.
It has been two days since these battle reports were sent, but they were all detained by General Qu Duan! "
After saying that, Qin Hui took out the two battle reports that should have been sent to Zhao Huan long ago, and Qu Duan's face suddenly turned gray.
"This is our general of the Song Dynasty. Is this our famous general of the Song Dynasty?"
