"Since it can be saved, why shouldn't the magistrate Wang be strong and not out? The enemy's army is coming, and the food and grass must not last long. As long as the forts are guarded, the enemy can retreat. But why should the magistrate Wang move troops to seek help?" Lu Shen asked immediately.

Lu Ping must have known all the plans, and he knew about at least 90% of them, but he was also influenced by Wang Ju and was very suspicious of the confidentiality of the Song Dynasty officials and soldiers. Therefore, some could not say it, and could only answer: "After the enemy failed to attack Liyuan Fort, they would inevitably divide their troops in Huachi Town. Therefore, Wang Magistrate wanted to eat this division of troops, and then the danger of Huachi County would be solved by itself."

"Go to fight?" Zhong Yan asked.

"Maybe."

Zhong Yan thought about it and said that this matter was feasible. First of all, there were many cavalry in Huachi County, and after practicing for so long, although the troops were a little less, their combat effectiveness was good. Since Wang Ju dared to do this, he must have some confidence in his heart. This is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so he said: "Mr. Lu, let me take a few battalions of officers and soldiers."

"General Zhong, don't worry," Lu Shi pondered.

He thought for a while and felt that it was still inappropriate. The Song army was not afraid of defense wars, but was afraid of field battles. Therefore, he said: "Lu Ping, in my opinion, it is best to tell County Magistrate Wang when you go back, don't fight in field battles. This is the main reason for the defeat of Haochuanshui Sanchuankou. It is better to stick to Huachi Town."

"Lu Gong, it's not. Sanchuankou and Haoshuichuan are 100,000 to fight 10,000. Now the enemy has no 100,000, only 20,000. Once the troops are divided, the troops are even less. Besides, our army has won the field battle, such as the Battle of Tumaochuan. Besides, the enemy is active in Liyuan Fort, Pingrong Town and Rouyuan Village, and the people are not afraid of them. They are all foreigners and they gather together to defend each village. When the enemy arrives in Huachi Town, they are mostly Han villages, not familiar with fighting, and the terrain is flat. Even if Huachi Town can be kept, all villages will suffer."

"Then you go back first and let me think about it."

Lu Ping had no choice but to have the same surname as Lu, but his status was too far apart from others. Even Wang Julai was not at the same level as the official position. So he had to go back.

Zhong Yan said, "Mr. Lu, maybe let me attack Jintang City."

This is also a credit.

"This is even more inappropriate. Jintang City has a dangerous terrain. Even if they have few remaining troops, they cannot conquer it immediately. As long as they cannot conquer it, the Xixia army in Dashun City can return to defense. At that time, the war will affect the security army."

Zhong Yan was a little confused. What is the difference between affecting the security army and affecting Qingzhou? Are they both territories of the Song Dynasty? However, Lu Shen valued him very much and recommended him to serve as the lord of Qingjian City. This is not a village lord or a fort lord. It is equivalent to a county magistrate and a patrol position, so Zhong Yan was not convenient to ask questions.

Lu Ping went back. Wang Ju shook his head and said, "I don't expect it anymore, I am another greedy person who is afraid of death."

He did not sue the imperial complaint, but Eunuch Huang would automatically report this situation to Zhao Xu, which was even more powerful than suing the imperial complaint.

The real battle in Huachi County is here.

The scouts in front quickly rode back and reported: "Xixia divided the troops into two places, and there were 5,000 troops left in front of Liyuan Fort. All the rest set out towards Huachi Town, including more than a thousand iron kites."

…………

Ye Fengma encountered some minor troubles, and he sent many scouts to inquire. After all, Wang Ju's three victory was very glorious, which made Ye Fengma feel a little afraid.

But the scouts sent out, but they were like stones sinking to the sea.

The next day, a scout did not come back. Ye Bima asked with some concern: "Will there be an ambush ahead?"

Song Ji was stunned for a moment. He was more scared than Ye Fengma, so he did not dare to answer.

It was not until the evening that a scout came to news that one message had nothing to do with Huachi Town, that was the Xixia army in front of Rouyuan Village that captured Quqi Village. The other two villages were also shaking under the attack of the Xixia army. The Song Dynasty officials in Rouyuan Village only knew how to hold on and were afraid to come out.

This news didn't work much for him, and Rouyuan Village had nothing to do with him. Another news worked. Three thousand soldiers in Jintang City were approaching Pingrong Town. Huachi Town sent a battalion of officers and soldiers to rescue him. It seemed that Huachi Town had few remaining troops. It even became an empty city.

Ye Fengma walked around and murmured: "Then why did all the subordinates I sent disappeared?"

Zhao Sishun replied from the side: "I know this. That boy trained a White Army in Huachi. It is all composed of the most powerful soldiers in the army. His Majesty led a large army to come in person. This White Army is very active and probably met them."

"So, once we send troops to Huachi Town, he will know immediately."

"What's wrong with knowing it? He has no soldiers available. How to defend the city? This is a plot." Zhao Sishun said. After defecting to his new master, he was eager to make contributions.

But what Zhao Sishun said was reasonable. Ye Fengma brought 20,000 troops, gathering all the Dings and Zhuang in Huachi County together. There may not be 20,000 people.

"Then send troops." Ye Fengma said.

Time can no longer be delayed. It took more than a day to arrive at Liyuan Fort, and more than a day to be delayed under Liyuan Fort. Three full days passed. Therefore, on the fourth day, Ye Fengma sent troops to Huachi Town.

The army set out eastward in a mighty manner.

When passing by Qingxichuan, Song Ji said, "General Ye Bu, let's cook here. Arrive in Huachi Town in the evening and set up camp and conquer it tomorrow."

This is also a relatively flat place. If it is a large river valley, there is a Han village in the upper reaches of the valley, but Ye Binma has no time to attack it. However, it is very good to camp. The terrain is flat and clear at a glance, and there is a small river flowing through it. The river water is clear and you can drink water. The soldiers started cooking, and some soldiers led their horses downstream to let the horses drink water.

Song Ji said: "There is a forest in front of me. I will send a cavalry over here to prevent ambushing. After passing that forest, it is Daliuchuan, and there is a bridge above it. I guess that the magistrate of the tenth county magistrate will demolish this bridge to stop me from marching. Therefore, after passing that forest, you must log and build a bridge. Fortunately, the autumn water has begun to calm and you will not waste time. After walking for another ten miles, you will arrive in Huachi Town."

"Song Mie, are you very familiar with this road."

"General Ye Bi, I won't mention this. At the beginning, I wanted to join Daxia. I wanted to use that treasure to attract the clans of the Security Army to fight for blood, and then lead the Daxia army to enter to make achievements for Daxia, but it was in the hands of that boy. Then I couldn't force myself to flee to the Prefectures and State. Then I fled from the Prefectures to Qingzhou, and then came to Qingzhou to manage private salt. At the beginning, I didn't have the ability to hire my subordinates and had to manage it myself. I walked six or seven times on this road alone."

"Song Mie, if I make a great contribution on this trip, I will definitely recommend you in front of His Majesty."

"General Ye Bi, that kid really cannot be underestimated. I always feel that his troops are less." Song Ji said. Let's talk about the three thousand soldiers in Pingrong Town. If it is changed to five thousand soldiers, Pingrong Town will be unpredictable. However, the deterrence will be reduced immediately. There are also 20,000 soldiers and horses in this line. If it is twenty-five thousand soldiers, then more appropriate arrangements can be made.

Anyway, since autumn, he subconsciously made him feel very uneasy.

"You are too brave. If you use the word "Chinese" to call it, "What's the point of "the archer and snake shadow."

"We Han people have another saying, be careful to have a ten thousand-year rudder." But Song Ji did not want to argue, anyway, he had to post it when it came to this point.

After dinner, the three armies launched again, but Ye Binma also obeyed Song Ji's opinion and sent a cavalry to the front as a vanguard. I sent a few scouts, you killed my scouts, I sent hundreds of cavalry to see if they could be killed?

But in just a while, news came soon.

After hearing this, Ye Fengma immediately rushed over on a horse.
