Kou Ji and his party waited on the official road for a long time. Chen Lin led a group of eunuchs to deliver the Emperor's Sword and the imperial guard of honor to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji got the Emperor's Sword, sent an imperial guard of honor, and ordered to set off.

Kou Ji kept a low profile when he left Beijing this time. He didn't let anyone see him off, and naturally there was no farewell scene.

Kou Ji and his party left Bianjing City quietly.

Go all the way north, pass through the pass and pass through the village.

Traveled for several days.

Arrive in Jinju.

I met Babaili Express who was going to Bianjing City to deliver an urgent report.

Kou Ji used the Emperor's Sword to stop the eight-hundred-mile rush.

Zhao Zhen, Wang Zeng and others have given him full authority to deal with the affairs in the northwest, so whether the urgent report is sent to Bianjing City, it will be the same whether he stops it or not.

After it was sent to Bianjing City, Bianjing City had to send someone to send the news over again, which was too troublesome and also delayed time.

Kou Ji stopped the emergency report and after reading it, his face became very ugly.

The urgent report said that Zhe Weizhong died in Linzhou City.

After his death, his bones sat on the wall of Linzhou City for many days. The soldiers in Linzhou City thought he was still alive, so they fought desperately against the Liao people and blocked two attacks by the Liao people.

But paper cannot contain the fire.

The death of Zhe Weizhong was still noticed by the Liao people.

The Liao people discovered that the military strength in Linzhou City had been decreasing, but the troops and horses in Linzhou City resisted their defenses, but there had been no change.

The Liao people stormed Linzhou City at all costs.

Linzhou City's troops were depleted a lot and became in danger under the fierce attack of the Liao people.

The Linzhou city guard had to ask Zhe Weizhong for instructions, but Zhe Weizhong's soldiers stopped in front of the city gate and refused to let them in.

In order to protect Linzhou City, the guard general of Linzhou City had to lead his troops into the city gate building, only to find Zhe Weizhong dead in the city gate building.

Since the Linzhou City defender rushed in with his troops and horses, the news could not be controlled at all.

The news of Zhe Wei Zhong's death reached the ears of the soldiers in Linzhou City in an instant.

For a while.

There was a lot of crying in Linzhou City.

When the Liao people heard the cry, they knew that their plot had succeeded and that Zhe Weizhong was dead.

The Liao people attacked Linzhou City frantically.

The Liao people originally thought that the soldiers in Linzhou City would definitely lose their fighting spirit after learning about Zhe Weizhong's death.

Unexpectedly, Zhe Weizhong's determination to defend Linzhou City until his death inspired the soldiers to fight to the death.

With red eyes, the soldiers started a bloody battle with the Liao people regardless of their own lives.

They used their lives to block the Liao people from Linzhou City.

Seeing this, the Liao people secretly transferred back the 50,000 elite soldiers who had attacked Yinzhou and attacked Linzhou City again.

Linzhou City's troops were limited, and even though the soldiers fought desperately, they could not stop the Liao people.

Linzhou was defeated.

None of the Linzhou City defenders and the German defense troops survived.

They finally fought until not a single soldier was left.

No one retreats, no one escapes.

In Linzhou City, loyal souls are everywhere and corpses are everywhere.

But their death was not in vain. They used their bodies to kill 40,000 elite Liao troops.

You must know that during this period, battle losses reached tens of thousands, and only large battlefields involving hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses would appear.

The Linzhou garrison and the Baode Army fought to the death of 40,000 elite Liao troops. You can imagine how brutal the battle they experienced was.

Linzhou was defeated, and the door of the Song Dynasty was finally opened.

After the Liao people conquered Linzhou, they swept through the cities near Linzhou non-stop and are now attacking Baode.

Although the entire Baode Army died on the Linzhou battlefield, the death of the Baode Army aroused the fighting spirit of Xiang armies across the northwest. The Qingshan Army, which was integrated with the Qing Border Army and the Huoshan Army, after the Liao invaded Linzhou

, abandoned the city they were holding on to, rushed to Baode for reinforcements, and fought fiercely with the Liao people in Baode.

The Qingshan Army is not a forbidden army, its armament is extremely poor, and its combat effectiveness is also low.

But they still kept the Liao people out of Baode.

However, the Qingshan Army has limited strength and may not be able to resist the Liao people for long.

After reading the urgent report, Kou Ji took a deep breath and immediately summoned Wang Kai.

After Wang Kai was called into the wing room of the inn where Kou Ji was, he felt very confused.

I don't understand why Kou Ji suddenly summoned him.

When Kou Ji met Wang Kai, he did not give in, but went straight to the point: "Wang Kai, Linzhou has been defeated, the Liao soldiers and horses have reached Baode, the Baode army has been wiped out in Linzhou, and the Qingshan army has arrived in Baode.

, were fighting fiercely with the Liao people in Baode City.

It's just that the Qingshan Army has limited strength, so it can't resist the Liao people for a long time.

Moreover, it is very likely that the Liao people will divide their troops elsewhere while attacking Baode.

Therefore, I order you to take my arrow order and rush to Jiaxian County, mobilize the Jinning Army stationed in Jiaxian County to go north, join the Qingshan Army, and resist the Liao people together.

We must keep the Liao people north of the Yellow River."

Wang Kai was shocked when he heard what Kou Ji said. He said with trembling words: "Shang... Shangguan... you... you asked me to dispatch Jinning County and lead the Jinning army north to resist the Liao people?

Aren’t you going to deliver orders to the Jinning Army?”

Kou Ji stared at Wang Kai and asked, "Is there a problem?"

Wang Kai took a deep breath and said quickly: "If you ask Beizhi to go to the Jinning Army to deliver orders, it will just be an order. If you let Beizhi lead the Jinning Army northward, Beizhi will have the right to intervene in the Jinning Army's military affairs."

Kou Ji said solemnly: "I didn't ask you to interfere in the military affairs of the Jinning Army. I asked you to directly take over the command of the Jinning Army."
