After Wenpin listened to Liu Rengui's explanation, he immediately said: "General Liu, since the port of Yilu Township is so close to Qu County, General Liu is willing to lead a vanguard to go to Qu County first to inquire about the enemy's situation."

After hearing this, Liu Rengui also agreed to Wenpin's invitation. After all, they had just arrived and still needed to find out the enemy's situation.

Subsequently, Wenpin led 10,000 soldiers to take the lead.

Liu Rengui led his troops to station themselves at the port of Yilu Township. After all, the warship was still at the seaside.

Soon, the Civil Affairs Department rushed to Qu County.

The defenders of Qu County suddenly saw the appearance of Xixia soldiers led by Wen Pin, and they immediately reported the situation to the county magistrate.

When the magistrate of Qu County learned that there were enemy troops outside the city, he panicked. After all, there had been no war in Qu County since the Northern Wei Dynasty unified Xuzhou. Now that the enemy troops were coming to kill him, he was caught off guard.

When the magistrate of Qu County calmed down, he immediately summoned his captain to go to the tower to check.

At this time, Wenpin also observed the situation in Qu County.

"I didn't expect that Qu County looks like such a small town."

After sighing with emotion, Wenpin immediately sent his soldiers to notify Liu Rengui, and he began to call for formation under the city.

Hearing Wenpin's call for formation, the captain under the county magistrate couldn't help but go out of the city to greet him, but in the end this captain also became the soul of Wenpin's sword.

As the school captain was beheaded, the morale of the Quxian defenders suddenly plummeted.

After receiving the news, the county magistrate could no longer stay in Qu County.

Soon, the county magistrate packed up his belongings and prepared to run away.

After Wenpin cursed for a while and saw that the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty had no intention of fighting, he immediately decided to attack the city.

The 10,000 Xixia navy under his command immediately launched an attack on Qu County.

When the defenders of Qu County saw that Xia's army was attacking the city with great momentum, the defenders in the city finally decided to surrender. After all, there were only two to three thousand people in Qu County, but there were tens of thousands of people on Wenpin's side. They didn't have any

Confidence can hold the city, and besides, they are leaderless.

As Wei Jun opened the city gate, Wenpin immediately led his troops into the city.

At this time, the county magistrate had just packed up his things and was about to leave.

When the county magistrate fled towards the north gate, the Civil Service Department quickly attacked the county government office.

When Wenpin learned that the county magistrate had fled, he immediately led his troops to pursue him.

In the end, the county magistrate was chased by Wenpin at the city gate and stabbed to death.

After the death of the county magistrate, the soldiers and civilians in Qu County lost their will to fight.

Soon, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Employment took over Qu County.

Not long after, when Liu Rengui led his troops to Quxian, he also saw that Quxian had changed hands.

Immediately, Liu Rengui led his troops into the city.

After a while, Liu Rengui also met Wenpin.

When Wenpin saw Liu Rengui arriving, he immediately reported to Liu Rengui.

After listening to Wenpin's report, Liu Rengui immediately praised Wenpin, and Wenpin became humble.

Later, Liu Rengui said: "General Wen, when you captured Qu County, did you let anyone go?"

"Back to the general, I have never let anyone escape."

"That's very good. After all, our army is a navy army. We still need to rely more on General Changsun who leads the infantry to attack the city. We only need to help from the side."

After hearing this, Wenpin also agreed.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Rengui began to contact Jin Yiwei to prepare for communication with Changsun Sheng.

At this time, Cao Zhen finally gathered the troops of Donghai County.

After getting another 20,000 soldiers, he then led the army and rushed towards Chang Sun Sheng's camp.

Soon, Changsun Sheng also learned the news about Wei Jun.

"I didn't expect Cao Zhen to take the initiative."

After sighing with emotion, Changsun Sheng immediately gathered his troops and began to prepare for war.

Let’s talk about Cao Zhen.

After he led his army to the outside of Xia Jun's camp, he immediately rode out and started shouting: "Chang Sun Sheng, I know you are inside. If you have the ability, come out and fight with me?"

When Sun Sheng, the commander at the camp gate, heard Cao Zhen yelling, he immediately laughed because Cao Zhen's method of stimulating generals was so clumsy.

Immediately, Changsun Sheng ordered the camp gate to be opened. He also wanted to test Cao Zhen's abilities.

Soon, the Xixia army, led by Chang Sun Sheng, began to leave camp.

When Cao Zhen saw Chang Sun Sheng leading his troops out of the camp, he suddenly thought to himself: 'It seems that this Chang Sun Sheng is indeed in vain.'

After a while, the Xixia army came out of camp and formed an array.

After Cao Zhen saw Changsun Sheng, he immediately started to observe.

And Changsun Sheng also began to take a look at Cao Zhen.

The two looked at each other, and Cao Zhen said: "Chang Sun Sheng, do you dare to fight with me?"

Hearing what Cao Zhen said, Changsun Sheng immediately refused, because his martial arts was not outstanding, only his shooting skills were amazing.

Cao Zhen saw that Chang Sun Sheng did not dare to fight, so he could only lead his troops to start a melee with Chang Sun Sheng.

Soon, the two armies began to fight.

After a fierce battle, neither Cao Zhen nor Zhang Sun Sheng gained any advantage, and the two sides were almost evenly matched.

In the evening, Cao Zhen and Chang Sun Sheng also ordered to withdraw their troops.

After returning to the city, Cao Zhen also pondered: "I have roughly figured out the strength of the Xia army in today's battle. Although our army has the advantage, the 20,000 county soldiers really don't have much fighting power. It seems that if we want to defeat Changsun Sheng,

Ministry is not a simple matter.'

In the next few days, Cao Zhen continued to lead his troops to the Xia Army camp to challenge him. After all, Chang Sun Sheng was stationed near Houqiu County, which made it difficult for him to sleep and eat well.

Several fights ended in draws.

Just when the two armies were fighting another truce, Chang Sun Sheng met the Jin Yiwei spy who came to deliver a message.

Through the spies of Jin Yiwei, Changsun Sheng also learned the news that Liu Rengui and Wenpin had occupied Qu County.

For a time, Changsun Sheng also took advantage of the opportunity and planned to take advantage of the information gap to lure Cao Zhen to Qu County.

Thinking of this, Changsun Sheng began to make arrangements.

Let’s talk about Cao Zhen.

Although he went out of the city to fight with Changsun Sheng again and again, he did not get any benefits. This was still the situation where his military strength was superior. If his military strength was not superior, I am afraid that Changsun Sheng could defeat him head-on.

For this reason, Cao Zhen was also very worried.

Seeing that Cao Zhen was worried, Zhang He immediately came to Cao Zhen and said: "General Cao, this Xia army is very difficult to fight. If we continue to fight, it will be difficult for our army to repel them. We might as well outwit them."

"To outsmart him? How to outsmart him?"

"Since Changsun Sheng's tribe is invading the East China Sea, his grain and grass transportation must pass through Quyang County. We might as well set up an ambush on this road to cut off Changsun Sheng's grain and grass."

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhen also thought deeply, because Zhang He's proposal was indeed feasible.

After a while, Cao Zhen decided to take Zhang He's suggestion.

Zhang He saw that Cao Zhen had adopted his opinion, and he immediately asked Ying to go to war. However, Cao Zhen considered the difficulty of Changsun Sheng's tribe, so he sent his deputy general to block the Xia army's food route.

Although Zhang He failed to get the opportunity to lead the army alone in the battle, he was not discouraged because he surrendered from Yuan Shao.

Then turn to Chang Sun Sheng.

After formulating a plan to lure the enemy, Chang Sun Sheng began to arrange it without stopping.

At the same time, he also asked Jin Yiwei's spies to go and deliver the news to Liu Rengui and Wenpin.
