Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Therefore, when they rushed out of the city, I had already decided not to keep any of them, and let these guys seek benevolence and benevolence. "

Ximen Qing explained to Wang Jin.

As soon as Wang Jin heard it, he understood that the Xixia Kingdom was about to perish, and Ximen Qing was taking the opportunity to clean up and weaken future resistance forces.

Indeed, the one who dared to go out of the city to fight at this time must be the buddy of Dang Xiangwei Mingshi.

At this moment, Jiang Zhong sent someone to announce the good news, saying that the general who claimed to be the emperor of Xixia Kingdom Li Ganshun had been killed in the rebellious army.

When the generals in the camp were overjoyed, Ximen Qing shook his head, thinking that this person was probably an imposter.

Chapter 38 Li Qianshun Captured

Seeing that Ximen Qing spoke so firmly, Wang Jin couldn't help asking why Ximen Qing saw it.

Ximen Qing told Wang Jin and the generals who did not fight behind him that the Xixia army was fighting at this time, of course not to turn defeat into victory, but to cover the escape of Li Ganshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom.

Although the [-] armored heavy cavalry charged today had powerful attack power, their horses were too heavy to last.

Both the Chu army and the Jin army have many cavalry, so even if Li Ganshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, can break through with the heavy cavalry, how far can he escape?

Under the pursuit of the Chu army and Jin army cavalry, these heavy cavalry will be overtaken in a short time, and there will be no chance to remove the heavy armor.

Therefore, Ximenqing judged that the three thousand armored heavy cavalry were determined to disrupt the situation, attract the attention of the Chu army, and create opportunities for Li Qianshun to escape.

After hearing this, Wang Jin and other generals suddenly realized that Ximen Qing's insight was indeed superior to others.

At this time, the generals Ximen Qing and Wang Jin also received a notification from the Jin army, knowing that there was another cavalry unit in the Xingqing mansion fighting out from the north gate, trying to break through the encirclement of the Jin army and flee to the northwest.

It is said that the defenders of Xingqing Mansion seemed to come out in full force, and there were more than 2 soldiers and horses attacking the Jin Army's defense line.

Could it be that Li Ganshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, broke through in the north, and the three thousand armored cavalry in the south were just to hold back the Chu army?

Wang Jin and the others looked at each other suspiciously.

"You gentlemen worked hard on duty last night, let's go back to the tent and rest first! It's not easy for Li Qianshun to escape from Wanyan Zonghan!

Even if he leads the army to fight out from the south of the city, I will wait here to guard the formation, and it will be hard for him to fly! "

Ximen Qing gave orders to Wang Jin and other generals who were replaced after being on duty for midnight.

Wang Jin and other generals also thought Ximen Qing was right, so they went back to camp to rest.

At this time, Ximenqing also arranged for Xue Yuanli, who had taken refuge in him, to go out of the camp to check and confirm the true identity of the leader of the Xixia Iron Armored Heavy Cavalry.

Not long after, Xue Yuanli returned to the camp to report. Just as Ximenqing expected, the general of this cavalry unit was not Li Ganshun, the lord of the Xixia Kingdom, but Li Renli, the king of Shu, a nobleman of the Western Xia clan.

It is said that Jiang Zhong, Hong Zhen and Tang Long were disappointed when they learned that the one they intercepted and killed was not the emperor, but only a prince. They were looking forward to another army horse coming out of the city!

However, although some soldiers of the Xixia Army could be seen guarding the walls of Xingqing Mansion, there were no cavalry from the Xixia Army in the south and east of the city to break out of the city.

Vaguely, it seemed that the sounds of fighting in the north of the city had gradually subsided.

Facing the Jin army sweeping the world, the Xixia army's breakout operation in the north of the city also failed.

Soon, a messenger flying horse from the Jin army came to report that they had defeated the main force of the Xixia army, beheaded more than 1 ranks, and the rest of the defeated troops retreated to Xingqing Prefecture.

Wanyan Zonghan did not find the trace of Li Ganshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, and was about to issue an ultimatum to the Xixia Army, limiting them to open the city and surrender within an hour, otherwise they would launch a strong attack.

After hearing this, Ximenqing also told the messenger of the Jin army the results of the inspection from the south of the city, saying that he killed King Shu Li Renli and three thousand armored heavy cavalry.

Ximenqing said that the Chu army had prepared the siege equipment and was ready to attack the city with the Jin army at any time.

Just when Ximen Qing was about to send the Jinjun messenger out of the camp, there was a sudden noise outside the camp, followed by bursts of cheers.

Only Lu Zhishen's thunderous voice could be heard from outside the camp gate: "Hahaha~ The Sa family made a great contribution this time and captured the dog emperor Li Qianshun!"

After hearing this, Ximen Qing was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly took all the generals in the battalion, the envoy of the Jin Army and Xue Yuanli to welcome him out.

I saw Lu Zhishen walking towards the gate of the camp with his head held high and an infantry army under his command.

In this army, the soldiers escorted twenty or thirty dejected prisoners with their hands bound tightly.It's just that these captives did not wear the armor of the Xixia Army, but ordinary shepherds.

"General Lu! Have you captured Emperor Xia Guogou?"

A young general guarding the camp gate asked excitedly.

Lu Zhishen pointed to a prisoner who was walking in the front, and said to everyone: "This straight lady thief is Li Ganshun, the dog emperor of the Xia Kingdom. These fellows pretended to be herdsmen and tried to sneak into Helan Mountain, but they ran into the ambush of the Sa family. He was caught by the Sa family."

"Hahaha~ General Lu, could it be that you were so cold in the woods at the foot of the mountain that you caught a few herdsmen indiscriminately to make up for it?"

In the army, a soldier who was familiar with Lu Zhishen joked with him openly.

"What do you bird people know? The Sajia dreamed of a black dragon crashing into his arms the day before yesterday.

After receiving the order last night, the Sa family calculated that the bird emperor would fall into the hands of the Sa family, so they deliberately brought a few more people in the army who knew the bird emperor.

Sure enough, during the battle in front of the camp this morning, the bird emperor took more than 100 cronies posing as herdsmen and fled into Helan Mountain through the mist.

The Sa family had already set up a net in the southwest. Seeing these fellows, the Sa family stabbed and killed dozens of people, and finally captured the bird emperor alive! "

Lu Zhishen proudly bluffed in front of the camp gate, showing off his achievements.

Why dreamed that the black dragon was in his arms, and randomly captured the emperor of Xixia Kingdom, many people in the army did not believe it.

However, Ximen Qing's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he became more confident.

Because Ximen Qing knew that this "Hua Monk" Lu Zhishen was a man of good fortune. He had a bit of luck in him, and he was a rare and powerful general under his command.

What's more, the southwest entrance to the mountain that Ximenqing asked him to guard is the best escape direction for Li Qianshun.

Now the many cities and villages on the north and south sides of Xingqing Mansion are controlled by the Chu Army and the Jin Army respectively.

Obviously, these three directions are dead ends, and it is impossible for Li Qianshun to break out and regroup.

Only the Helan Mountains and the Tengger Desert in the west, although they look like dead places, can still escape to Ganzhou, Suzhou, Guazhou and Shazhou in the Hexi Corridor as long as they cross the snow-capped mountains and cross the desert. Keep some hope of recovery.

Therefore, Ximenqing judged that Li Qianshun was going to escape, and the possibility of heading west into the mountains was the greatest. He had already cast out Lu Zhishen, Shi Jin, Zhu Wu, Chen Da, Yang Chun and others, and laid a road from Xingqing Mansion to Helan Mountain. line of defense.

Now it seems that among the generals, Lu Zhishen has the best luck!

Ximen Qing led all the generals to meet him quickly, and ordered the prisoner to raise his head.

The leader of the captive raised his head, and he heard Xue Yuanli who was beside Ximen Qing say, "Congratulations to the county king, congratulations to the general, he is Li Ganshun, Emperor of Xia!"

Hearing a familiar voice, Li Qianshun raised his eyes and blurted out: "Xue Yuanli! It's you? You traitor! I've fallen for your scheme!"
