Wei Tianqing is the most brave general of Xishan Road, but he is not a famous general in the world. Although he is loyal and brave, it is precisely because of his loyalty and integrity that he has gained the trust of Qiao Mingtang and entrusted with important responsibilities.

But loyalty and courage does not mean that you can lead troops to fight. Wei Tianqing knows his own shortcomings. Although he has always studied military books hard, military books are always dead, and people live. Not everyone who is familiar with military books can become a famous general of a generation.

Becoming a famous general sometimes requires talent.

Although some people have not read a few military books, they use their troops as if they are in war, while some people have read the military books thoroughly and are very knowledgeable about daily debate, but when they really go to the battlefield, they are full of flaws.

Although Wei Tianqing is not a famous general, he is not a mediocre person.

If he had expected that there was an ambush in Liuzihe in advance, he could naturally come up with countermeasures and arrangements, and tens of thousands of troops under his command would never be easily swallowed by the Northwest Army.

But at this moment, although Wei Tianqing was determined to change the situation, he was no longer able to turn things around.

As the saying goes, if the defeat is like a mountain, it is not possible for a few generals to turn the tide. Most of the soldiers of the Xishan Army are actually not those who are afraid of death. They are even very brave. If they fight head-on, they can even resist to the end. However, they are trapped in ambush at this time. The soldiers all know that they have fallen into the trap of the enemy. In this case, the morale of the entire army is completely lost, and some have fled in scattered areas, which seriously affects the morale of the entire army.

Wei Tianqing tried hard to kill. When he looked back, the northwestern cavalry slaughtered in the chaotic military formation. His sabers were like ice, and the sword flashed by, and the heads fell to the ground, but the Xishan army had already dispersed one after another.

"Sir, no more." A general finally approached with blood on his face. "The troops on the other side have collapsed, and we can no longer hold on here!"

Wei Tianqing held the knife in his hand tightly and said sternly: "Even if he loses, he will fight to the end and serve the Governor with his death."

Qiao Mingtang is very kind to Wei Tianqing. Although one is the governor and the other is the commander, after years of getting along, Qiao Mingtang treats Wei Tianqing privately like a brother. Wei Tianqing pays attention to friendship, but he is also loyal to Qiao Mingtang.

The main force of the Xishan Mountain was stationed in Liangzhou. Qiao Mingtang handed over this important task to Wei Tianqing, which also shows his trust in Wei Tianqing.

Now the main force in Xishan is in ambush and almost collapses the entire army. This is Qiao Mingtang's old capital. Seeing that he is about to lose all his battle, Wei Tianqing is both angry and guilty.

Although the Northwest Army was cunning and set up a trap, no matter what, as the commander of the Liangzhou Army, it is really hard to blame for being beaten like this by the enemy.

Wei Tianqing felt guilty in his heart, and if he wanted to die in the battlefield.

"Sir, let's retreat." The general whispered: "The team has collapsed, and we can't continue to fight!"

When Wei Tianqing heard this, he suddenly turned his head, and the blade shouted at the general, "Do you want to escape?"

"Who is the master, don't you know?" said the general: "The general is not afraid of death, so how could he escape in the battle? The general is worried about the loss in Liangzhou!"

When Wei Tianqing heard this, his whole body was shocked.

"Sir, the Northwest Army besieged Tongzhou, now it seems that it is just luring us into a trap." The general said: "The last general is only worried that if we die here, the Northwest Army will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack Liangzhou!"

Wei Tianqing said in shock: "Yes, I was negligent!"

"We evacuate this place and return to Liangzhou immediately. It is important to defend Liangzhou." The general advised: "Victory and defeat are common for soldiers and generals. Our defeat in this battle does not mean that we are defeated in Xishan. However, once Liangzhou and Tongzhou fall into the hands of the Northwest people, our Xishan will be over. The Lord returns to Liangzhou and defend Liangzhou City to the death. The logistics supply of the Northwest Army is not good, so we cannot hold on for too long. As long as we defend Liangzhou, we still have a chance to make a comeback!"

Wei Tianqing thought that it would be a shame to Qiao Mingtang if the tens of thousands of soldiers were defeated and dispersed. If Liangzhou City was also lost, it would be difficult to recover. Without hesitation, he turned his horse's head and shouted loudly: "Retreat!" He killed him in the direction of the flank, and the soldiers around him followed behind and broke through to the flank.

The Northwest Army attacked from the north. Although there were cavalry breaking in on the flank, it was just to disrupt the formation of the Xishan Army and could not stop the Xishan Army from fleeing from the flank.

Wei Tianqing waved his sword to cut down a northwestern cavalry coming towards him. Knowing that the situation of this battle was hopeless, it was important to save Liangzhou. He led a group of soldiers to protrude from the flanks. When he looked back, there were figures of people in the wild, and the sound of killing was endless. It was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and us at this time, but the Xishan Army had obviously collapsed in full swing.

There was no stop to the flanks, and Wei Tianqing was protruding, followed by hundreds of soldiers. Wei Tianqing turned around and shouted: "Everyone is withdrawn to Liangzhou!"

The bright moon is in the sky, and the earth is cold.

The Northwest Army did not seem to have found that Wei Tianqing had left the battlefield. Wei Tianqing rode his horse for more than ten miles and heard the sound behind him was much weaker. When he looked back, he saw that more than a dozen horse-riding soldiers were sparsely followed behind him, but the infantry had all been dropped.

Wei Tianqing stopped the horse, and the cavalry had already followed him. Wei Tianqing's face turned ashen. He hesitated slightly and turned his head. A general had already stopped him and shouted: "Sir, you are!"

"You can't leave your brothers behind." Wei Tianqing sighed, "We just retreat like this, that is to escape in the face of battle. The brothers have no heads, I'm afraid!"

"Sir, things have come to this point, and we are powerless to make the world come true." The general advised: "Sir, when you go back now, you can't gather troops to fight with the Northwest Army again. Our army has been disintegrated, so you can only return to Liangzhou first and defend Liangzhou City. If the troops are lost, you can recruit them again, but if Liangzhou falls, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Wei Tianqing clenched his fists and said helplessly: "We will be defeated tonight and cannot reinforce Tongzhou, I am afraid of Tongzhou City!"

"Sir, don't worry about Tongzhou anymore." The general also said helplessly: "Not to mention that Tongzhou may not fall. Even if it really falls, the Governor will definitely find a way to retake it."

Another general next to him also said: "Yes, sir, the Northwest Army captured Tongzhou, but it was just an isolated city. If we defend Liangzhou, even if he got Tongzhou, he could not contact Jinling south. If the supplies were not available, he could only supply from the northwest. With such a long supply line, the Northwest Army could not hold on at all. The Governor will definitely report the situation in Xishan, and Hexi will definitely send troops. It will be easier to seize Tongzhou at that time."

Wei Tianqing also thought at this time that Liangzhou was located between Tongzhou and Jinling Qiongzhou. Once Liangzhou fell, the Northwest Army would replace Xishan and use Tongzhou's minerals to trade with Jinling. Once this happens, for Xishan, it will be one to the other, and the overall strategy will be completely controlled by the Northwest people.

Liangzhou cannot make any mistakes!

Wei Tianqing figured out this point, and without hesitation, he said in a deep voice: "Let's go back to Liangzhou and defend Liangzhou City."

The galloping horse was flying, and under the night, it was like black lightning. After traveling east for more than twenty miles, Wei Tianqing turned south and kept running. I don’t know how long it took, but Wei Tianqing suddenly stopped the horse. The riders behind him stopped the horse for no reason, and one general asked: "D, what!"

Before he finished speaking, he stopped, but had already discovered that not far ahead, a row of figures appeared in the darkness of the night. When he looked closely, there were a row of cavalrymen, and at least fifty or sixty cavalrymen. On the ground, there were silently lined up like ghosts.

Wei Tianqing had already drawn his sword in his hand, and everyone behind him also drew his sword. There were only thirteen or fourteen people beside Wei Tianqing at this moment, and there were sixty or seventy people in front of him. Moreover, all of them were cavalry. Wei Tianqing was confident, but he knew that he was at a disadvantage at this moment, but when he met on a narrow road, he naturally could only fight to the death.

"Who are you?" Wei Tianqing asked in a deep voice in the darkness.

Although he was tired all the way, hungry in his stomach, and after a hard battle, Wei Tianqing was still full of energy and his voice came from afar.

"The Wei General, I heard of Daming for a long time. When I saw him today, I was indeed a hero." A slightly hoarse voice came from the opposite side: "Since the war has passed, there is no need to meet you and me."

Everyone thought that the one blocked in front was probably the Northwest Cavalry. At this time, they were sure after hearing what the other party said.

Wei Tianqing laughed loudly and said, "Do you think you have won?"

"I don't think so." A voice from the opposite side came: "The soldiers are never tired of cheating, but if we were not waiting for our leisure to ambush in Liuzihe and want to defeat the Wei system, it would undoubtedly be a dream."

Wei Tianqing was not proud of the other party's voice. Instead, he found a reason for his defeat. His expression was slightly slow. At this moment, he saw several cavalry on the opposite side slowly coming forward. Everyone around Wei Tianqing immediately held the sword and Wei Tianqing whispered: "Without my order, you must not act rashly."

There were three cavalry coming up, and the northwest cavalry with armor on both sides of the left and right sides. The man in the middle was very strange. He was wearing a cloth robes, wearing a cloth hat, and without inch of armor. Under the moonlight, his long beards fluttered, and he had a clear and elegant look.

Wei Tianqing was stunned, but the common man had already bowed and smiled: "Mr. Wei, I am Pei Ji, I have long admired Daqie, I am lucky to meet you!"

"Pei Ji?" Wei Tianqing was stunned, then remembered, his face changed drastically, and he said in a lost voice: "You are!"

"That's right." Pei Ji smiled and said, "I am really ashamed. Thanks to the love of Tutor Chu, I am now in command of the Northwest Army and serving as the position of General of the Northwest."

Wei Tianqing also clenched the knife and sneered: "Where is Chu Huan?"

Pei Ji sighed: "Duke Chu knew that he would face the Wei Governor this time, and he was unwilling to meet with the Wei Governor, so Pei led his troops to hunt with the Commander!"

Wei Tianqing said: "Is it your idea to siege Tongzhou and ambush reinforcements?"

Pei Ji smiled and said, "Director Chu knew that Liangzhou was stationed by the Wei Governor, and repeatedly opposed the ambush of the Wei Governor. However, due to the general trend, some things were difficult to stop. They would hunt with the general and could not avoid them. The Duke Chu just asked Pei to bring a few words to the Wei Governor, so Pei naturally did not dare to disobey."

"What did he ask you to bring?"
