Pei Ji, commander of the Qinglan Army, led more than 20 cavalry to arrive at the base of the Northern Army as quickly as possible.

Xiong Er took him to Qin Guan's tent.

Pei Ji is in his forties and has long heard of the top scholar of the Great Zhao and the emperor personally named the Immortal. Now, the two great victory of the Great Zhao against the Liao Kingdom are all from this person.

When he saw Qin Guan, his first feeling was that this Lord Qin was so young.

But he did not dare to be negligent at all, and quickly saluted: "The last general Pei Ji, I have seen the commander."

"General Pei, I'm waiting for you. Let's talk about the situation of the Xixia army on the border now." Qin Guan said directly without being too polite.

Pei Ji walked to the table, looked at the map above and said to Qin Guan: "Mr. Qin, Xixia gathered 40,000 troops, commanded by General Zhang Wenxian. He is now stationed near Liangjin on the Hengshan side of the Xixia border, and is eyeing my Da Zhao."

As he said that, he showed Qin Guan where Liangjin was on the map.

Qin Guan looked at the map carefully and asked, "How do you think we should deal with it."

Pei Ji said: "Supervisor Qin, we have eight cities on the border of Hengshan, Wubao, Yinxing, Jintang, Baibao, etc. Each village has hundreds or thousands of soldiers and village households, connected to a line. As long as the Xixia people have any abnormal movements, we will be able to show up."

"We have 16,000 soldiers in Qinglan Army. Now the general brings the army here. As long as we block the checkpoints, I believe that the people of Xixia dare not invade easily."

Pei Ji's idea was very simple, which was to defend and use the border walls to block all the marching routes of the Xixia army.

After hearing Pei Ji's words, Qin Guan shook his head.

"My Great Zhao and Xixia border are hundreds of miles long, so it is impossible to fully defend. Xixia is a cavalry and moves fast. If they run to Yongle, the Baode army cannot defend it. If they move to Huizhou, the Zhenrong army cannot defend it either."

"Although I can lead troops to support me, I will fall into a completely passive state. The Western Xia army takes the initiative and we can only run away. This is definitely not a good way."

After defeating Anasshi's 20,000 cavalry, Qin Guan seized a large number of war horses. Now the Northern Army has 20,000 cavalry, and the remaining 20,000 are infantry.

"What will the master do?" Pei Ji asked.

Qin Guan said: "When the enemy makes a decision, it is too passive. I am going to destroy Zhang Wenxian's 40,000 troops directly, so that Xixia dare not be willing to invade any more."

Pei Ji was shocked, "Master, do you want to take the initiative to attack Xixia?"

“Is there any problem?”

Pei Ji said anxiously: "Master General, we have not been able to catch the attacks of Liao Kingdom now. Now Xixia is just a border soldier. If we take the initiative, we will inevitably provoke a war between the two countries. If Xixia cannot be defeated in one battle, the consequences will be very serious."

"Xixia happened to have an excuse to invade our country. Our country's already very heavy form will become more precarious. At that time, the ministers of the court will inevitably attribute all the responsibility to the general. By that time, the general will likely be questioned."

Qin Guan knew that Pei Ji was thinking about him.

Nowadays, the military men have a low status in the Great Zhao State. If they make any mistakes, they will be suppressed by civil servants, so they all become a little timid.

Qin Guan said: "It is precisely because of the unfavorable situation in the domestic war that I want to solve Xixia as soon as possible. Only by being afraid of Xixia, the wolf cub, will he not dare to move around behind us, and we can deal with the Liao Kingdom wholeheartedly."

"But the handsome man..."

Qin Guan interrupted Pei Ji with a wave of his hand and said, "I know you are thinking about me, but there are some things that have to be done. I am going to find a place to fight Zhang Wenxian's army and decide."

"You are responsible for guarding Qinglan's front line."

"Organize a group of soldiers who are familiar with the terrain here and can be transferred from the hamlets. As for those hamlets, if they don't defend, they won't defend."

Seeing that Qin Guan had made up his mind, Pei Ji was not willing to persuade him. After agreeing to go back, he organized two thousand soldiers and the villages to come. These people were familiar with the terrain of this generation, which should be helpful to Qin Guan.

In the following days, Qin Guan carefully studied the map, and found the village school that was most familiar with the terrain to inquire about the situation, and finally found out the situation here.

Qin Guan already had a sure thing in his heart.

The most inescapable focus of the war between Zhao and Xia is the battle between Hengshan.

Hengshan is more than a thousand miles away, and the terrain is dangerous. It is the most cutting-edge base for the Western Xia to attack Zhao State. The two countries use Hengshan as the dividing line, generally north of Hengshan, all belong to Xixia, and south of Zhao State.

The two countries have similar strategies, both building villages and guarding them in places that are accessible. Qin Guan put down the red pen in his hand, turned around and came out of the camp. On the map spread out on the table, a Xixia village called "Zhejiang Village" was marked with a red circle.

It was very late at night, without a trace of moonlight. A strange army of three thousand people suddenly appeared in Zhejiang Village. Then there was a fierce fighting sound, but it was soon over and the night returned to peace.

If it were normal times, it would never be possible to take Zhejiang Village so easily, but now Zhao State is unable to protect itself and there is no strength to attack Xixia. The defensive and warding of these cities has become much lazy and was captured by the surprise soldier sent by Qin Guan.

After the battle, a team of cavalry was about to come to report the news. At this time, the Northern Army had already been ready to go, waiting for the news of victory. After knowing that Zhejiang Village was successfully captured and the enemy did not issue an alarm, they immediately ordered the army to go out.

The next day, Qin Guan led 40,000 people and had already appeared on the Xixia territory. Qin Guan did not take the initiative to find Liangjin to fight Zhang Wenxian, but led his troops to the southwest and headed towards Xingqing Prefecture, the capital of Xixia.

Now, Qin Guan no longer hides his whereabouts. Besides, the 40,000 troops are not easy to hide.

"Crash."

Zhang Wenxian was having dinner with several generals under him. After hearing the news, he suddenly grew up and knocked over the dining table in front of him, and the plates, bowls and chopsticks were spilled all over the floor.

Zhang Wenxian was glaring at this moment and shouted at the captain: "What did you say? The Zhao army attacked Zhejiang Village at night and had already entered our Daxia through Hengshan and rushed towards the capital."

"It's the Grand Marshal. This morning we found traces of the Zhao army."

"There are tens of thousands of troops, who is the Commander of Zhao?" Zhang Wenxian asked.

"The Zhao army had about 40,000 to 50,000 people. The flag of the commander is the word "Qin". I don't know who is the subordinate." The captain returned.

When Zhang Wenxian heard the word Qin, he suddenly remembered someone.

Qin Guan.

Zhang Wenxian is a military man and has never heard of Qin Guan before, but since he learned that Qin Guan became the commander of the Northern Army and was responsible for the defense of the front line of Xixia, he naturally understood him.

The Liao Kingdom invaded Zhao State, and Zhao State retreated step by step. The only two victories were won by this top scholar in Zhao State. Now Qin Guan has been rumored to be amazing, saying that he has overlords and brave martial arts, Zhuge Zhi, and his stars come down to earth.
