"What's the matter?" Zhao Xu couldn't help asking when he saw Chang Wei's face was solemn.

"Jincheng is broken."

"What! Jincheng is broken." Zhao Xu was shocked.

During this period, although Jinzhou was in chaos, it had not lost control.

What he relies on is Jincheng, which is guarded by 80,000 imperial guards.

With the cooperation of the Ma family army, they fought against the Xiliang army in general.

Especially after he provided a batch of armor to the Ma family, the Ma family also won a small victory in a field battle and annihilated 5,000 Xiliang troops.

Therefore, during the Yanzhou Rebellion, there was no chaos in the west of Yanzhou.

Unexpectedly, the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse now.

"Jincheng City is high and thick, how could it be suddenly captured by the Xiliang Army?" After calming down, Zhao Xu suddenly felt something was wrong.

Xiliang had not fought Jincheng before, but was resisted by imperial soldiers several times.

"The imperial guard soldiers who fled to Feihu Pass said that there was a traitor in the imperial guards. The commander Cui Yan threw himself into Xiliang and led his subordinates to rebel. In Xiliang, the general thought that he was not a good thing." Chang Wei gritted his teeth and said, he hated the traitor the most in his life.

Zhao Xu's face turned gloomy.

Once Jincheng is lost, Jinzhou will be completely over.

The most terrifying thing is that Xiliang is no longer the same as before, but the vassal of Beidi.

Xiliang took Jinzhou, which was no different from Beidi taking Jinzhou.

In the north, he was already facing the threat from Beidi, and now he was facing the threat from Xiliang.

And next, I am afraid that Beidi will instruct Xiliang to offend Feihu Pass.

"How many defenders are there in Feihu Pass?" Zhao Xu asked.

"Five thousand people." Chang Wei showed concern, "To be on the safe side, I will think that when it expands to 30,000 people, a hundred artillery cannons will be transferred at the same time."

Zhao Xu nodded. Now no one could predict what actions Beidi would take next.

The safest action is to strengthen the defense against Feihu Pass.

"Send all the latest artillery made by the Military and Battle Office to Feihu Pass." He said.

The manufacturing of artillery artillery in the military war department has never stopped.

The artillery training grounds outside Yancheng have also been training new artillery.

After pausing, he said to Chang Wei: "The training of the new recruits must keep up, but I am afraid that a war will be inevitable again. I cannot always rely on these 30,000 veterans to fight."

"Yes, Your Highness, the 30,000 recruits recruited in Shanggu County have been training for more than two months, and they can barely be used." Chang Wei thought about it and said, and he was also very distressed.

Beidi threatened not to hand over the King of Yan and launched a war, but he did not expect to make a move so soon.

But in this way, he could not train troops calmly.

It's really not yet settled, but it's been rising again and again.

Zhao Xu paced back and forth.

As King of Yan, he must consider all the current situation.

Beidi ordered Xiliang, a vassal, to attack the west and fight an ancient version of the agent war, but Beidi may not have made some moves in the north at the same time.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Transfer these 30,000 soldiers to Feihu Pass, continue training at Feihu Pass, and the veterans go to Yan Pass to take advantage of the accident."

Chang Wei understood and nodded with emphasis.

After discussing this matter, Zhao Xu ordered Chang Wei to go back to prepare, and he returned to the palace and wrote a memorial to send it to the capital.

When such a big thing happened in Jinzhou, he still had to submit a memorandum.

...

Jincheng.

Murong Wuji walked on the streets of Jincheng, stained with blood.

"Zeze" who was trampled on the soles of his feet made a sound.

The war has ended for two days, but the blood of the imperial guards on the ground has not yet dried up.

"The leader, I searched all the cities, and killed all the soldiers of the Dasong Imperial Army that I could find." A general came over and said.

The Western Liang army system is equivalent to the Northern Di Langlu.

The generals responsible for commanding troops to fight are called leaders.

Murong Wuji had no expression on his face.

When conquering Jincheng, his first order was to order the massacre of surrendered Dasong Imperial Army soldiers.

For every Xiliang person, he was born with hatred for Dasong.

Especially in Jinzhou, they were told that this place belongs to Xiliang when they became sensible.

The Dasong Imperial Guard on the land of Jinzhou were robbers, and the Dasong people living in Xiliang were thieves.

Therefore, during the war between Jinzhou and Dasong, Xiliang never left the living mouths of Dasong soldiers.

Even the people of Dasong captured alive were sold to merchants in Xiliang as slaves.

"Well done, it's been more than 150 years. Jincheng has finally returned to Xiliang. In the future, we will never lose him again." Murong Wuji stretched out his arms and looked up at the sky.

Just as he felt undepressed excitement on his face.

Jincheng is the holy place in the hearts of every Xiliang people.

For this, they are willing to sacrifice their lives.

"Where are the other defeated soldiers?"

Murong Wuji suddenly remembered something.

"Everyone escaped to Feihu Pass." Zheng Zheng narrowed his eyes.

"Flying Hu Pass?" Murong Wuji frowned, "This time Mulehong really ordered our Xiliang to take Jinzhou. What he wanted to deal with is King Yan in the east of Feihu Pass."

Although he had been busy with war in Jinzhou, he also learned about the King of Yan from all aspects.

Including the fact that Bei Di went south and was defeated by the King of Yan.

At the same time, there are also magical cannons.

"It is said that this is the case." Zhengjiang said.

Murong Wuji nodded, "It is said that if you take Jin, you must take Yan, otherwise Jinzhou will be difficult to maintain for a long time. If Da Song loses Jinzhou this time, you will inevitably send troops to seize it. Khan Mulehong is really a talented and stubborn person."

The general said: "That is, Beidi is at its peak. We, Xiliang, surrendered to Beidi, is just right. Otherwise, we would be facing endless wars like Dasong."

Murong Wuji did not refute. They had never feared the Dasong army, but were full of fear of the Beidi Iron Cavalry.

No Xiliang people were willing to confront the Northern Di Iron Cavalry.

After walking a few steps forward, he turned around and said, "Shanyu, no, the king ordered us to conquer Jinzhou and wait for orders. You immediately lead troops to repair the city in case Dasong attacks."

"Yes, leader." He was about to bow his head and responded, and then turned around and left.

...

Qinzhou, Xiancheng, and Ma family mansion.

Ma Xuan looked at the direction of Jinzhou and frowned.

Jincheng was trapped, and the Western Liang troops swept east of Jinzhou.

After the Dasong Imperial Army was defeated by the Western Liang soldiers, the Ma family was unable to support it.

He could only order the Ma family's troops to withdraw from Jinzhou.

"Hey, my Ma family has worked hard in Jinzhou for more than ten years, and now all their previous efforts are wasted." Ma Xuan suddenly sighed.

Ma Han stood beside his father, and he said, "Why do you have to worry about your father? How could the emperor sit down and see Jinzhou fall into the hands of Beidi? He will definitely send troops to take it back. Otherwise, once the Xiliang troops cross the Jin River, the great song will be in danger."

"But by then, my Ma family will have to send troops because they are afraid that they will be forced to send troops." Ma Xuan frowned.

The Ma family is closest to Jinzhou, and he believes that the other seven families of the powerful clans will definitely not miss this opportunity to instigate Zhao Heng to order him to send troops.

Although he is one of the eight major power tribes of Dasong.

But his Ma family was incompatible with the other seven families of the Siqi clans.

The reason is that the Ma family has half of the Qiang bloodline.

The Qiang people are some tribes active in the mountains between Qinzhou and Tubo.

The reason why the Ma family rose to become one of the eight major tribes.

The reason is that during the Battle of Dasong's founding, the Ma family's Emperor Gaozu married the daughter of the Qiang leader and obtained a Qiang army.

Later, the Ma family swept through Qinzhou, Yongzhou and Sizhou under the order of Emperor Zhao Yi of the Great Song Dynasty, and took root here from then on.

But for this reason, other powerful tribes agreed to the orthodox Central Plains and regarded the Ma family as barbarians.
