The Xia army led seventy people to Lu and whisper while walking, "Sir, as long as you deal with the commander, you can force a patrol here. It is best to only go to five."

Lu Qi nodded, waved his hand and ordered his five subordinates to follow the surrendered soldiers to deal with the commander of the Xia army. He stopped and turned his head to look at the military fort not far away. There was also a military fort on the east bank of the Yellow River in Wulandu.

A moment later, his subordinates brought a prisoner back, a bearded officer, Dangxiang. The officer was honest and asked the Xia army in the pit to surrender.

After dealing with the enemy's post by the Yellow River, Lu Qi sent the ferry back and ordered the cavalry to cross the river. After a thousand cavalry crossed the river, with the cooperation of the surrendered soldiers, he easily opened the gate of the military fort. One thousand troops entered the military fort and captured more than 200 Xia soldiers who were sleeping.

In the early morning, a thousand cavalry set out from the military fort, and the captives of the military fort were transported to the east bank of the Yellow River. The thousand cavalry were all dressed by the Xia army, and most of them were bald. Of course, Lu Qi could not bald. He wore a helmet and mixed it with the cavalry.

There was a noble figure riding with Lu Qi. He was a burly man, wearing a bright armored man, wearing a cloak on his shoulders, a leopard eyes, full of wildness, a beard under the jaw and curly, and a large golden earring on each ear. The man looked majestic in the army.

This character is Lu Qibaze's general, impersonating Tuoba Hong. Tuoba Hong is indeed a man, and he is the nephew of the Lord of Xia. However, there are many nephews of the Lord of Xia. Tuoba Hong is a leader of the imperial vanguard.

"Are you a little nervous?" Lu Qi asked immediately with a smile.

"Yes, my subordinates are not used to it." The 'Fan Shuai' answered respectfully.

"I will get used to it in the future. If you can enter the Hexi land, you will become a real general." Lu Qi promised with a smile.

"I am General Xie." "The 'Shishou' said respectfully with some flattery.

Lu Qi smiled and nodded. The so-called "superior" must have a brave man under heavy rewards. This "Fan Zheng" was originally just a surrendered soldier, and his mentality was very humble. He had to give him courage and give him the kind of a general's demeanor.

A thousand cavalry arrived at Gulang Gorge successfully. Two pioneer messengers went to Herong City to report that Herong City was built at the entrance of the gorge to the west of Gulang Gorge. In fact, it was a pass military city similar to Qingliu Pass.

Lu Qi's layout of the Xia army in Gulang Gorge is basically clear. There are 5,000 Xia army guarding Gulang Gorge, but the military strength of the stationed Herong City is only 1,000. The other 4,000 are scattered to defend some dangerous areas, especially the mountain walls and peaks on both sides of Gulang Gorge, and there are many archers facing high. Therefore, entering Gulang Gorge is equivalent to entering a "Huangquan Road".

After passing Gulang Gorge, you can reach Changsong County, which is adjacent to Qilian Mountains in the south and Tenggeli Desert in the north. As long as Gulang Gorge is taken down, you can stop the counterattack of Lanzhou and Hehuang Xia Army. Gulang Gorge is a natural dangerous gate between Lanzhou and Liangzhou.

Advancing in the winding Gulang Gorge was like walking into a deserted and crowded Jedi. Lu Qi calmly looked at the mountain wall. He had already seen dozens of bows and arrows guarding him. The Xia army really attached great importance to Gulang Gorge's defense.

After successfully passing through most of the Gulang Gorge, the two pioneer messengers returned and brought back information to advance. However, when they were about to approach the entrance of the gorge, a large number of Xia troops suddenly came towards us, and they were rushing towards us like a surging crowd.

One thousand cavalry immediately became in shock. Many soldiers held the hilt of the knife with their hands. Lu Qi was also surprised, but he had already walked to the innermost part of Gulang Gorge. If he was in shock at this time, it would be difficult to retreat intact. He hurriedly gave instructions to the "Shimaster".

"Doway." The 'Shimaster' shouted, spreading in the canyon. Then the 'Shimaster' rode forward, and the cavalry cooperated to give way, making the 'Shimaster' go to the forefront.

"What are you waiting to run?" The 'Shipman' immediately raised his head and asked in a majestic Dang Xiangyu.

The Xia army that rushed in immediately changed from running to leaving. The front was a horse-riding general who greeted the "Fan Zheng" and shouted loudly: "I was ordered to go to Lanzhou urgently, but it disturbed Lord Dutongjun. Please forgive me."

"Let's go." The 'Fanshen' waved his hand and said with a big thorn. The general of Xia State hurriedly drove his horse and walked away. A large number of infantry soldiers followed behind him, but they all ran cautiously, and the team occupied only half of the valley.

Lu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and the "fan coach" was just ahead, and the horse was driving forward with a high spirit. Lu Qi nodded secretly after seeing it. It was this fearless and thorny posture that was the best disguise. He did not pick the wrong person.

Under the leadership of the "Fan Zheng", a thousand cavalry went against the infantry from west to east. Lu Qi looked at the interlaced infantry and the discipline and military preparation of the march. He could see that it should be the military power dominated by herders.

The reason for the "Fanshen" to impersonate this time was that he went to Shazhou and Guazhou to recruit troops under the order of the Lord of Xia to supervise the leadership of the leader of the country. Lu Qi didn't know if it could be reasonable, but he believed that the greatest rationality was to be taken over by the Lord of Xia.

About half a minute later, Lu Qi saw a Guancheng appear in front of him. The rock-studded city walls were connected across the two walls of the canyon, more than one mile wide. Guancheng had two city gate holes, and there was a city gate hole that lined the Xia army, and there were hundreds of Xia army soldiers on the Guancheng.

A thousand cavalry arrived at the gate of Guancheng. More than 20 Xia army soldiers stood in front of the city gate where no one was in and out. When they saw the arrival of the "Shishou", the Xia army in front of the city gate was respectful and stroked his right hand and bowed his chest.

"Soldier" nodded and asked, "Is your chief officer Zhang here?"

"The chief of the commander-in-chief is here in the city's military mansion." The commander of the city gate replied respectfully.

"Okay, my army wants to see Lord Zhang, please inform me." The 'Shipman' said.

"Yes, please come from my lord." The city gate commander said respectfully without doubt.

The "Fanshen" nodded and dismounted, strode towards the city gate with loose reins. The cavalry behind them dismounted one after another. Someone walked in front of him and led the "Fanshen"'s horse, following the commander of the city gate, and entered a pass that was more than ten meters high.

After Lu Qi entered Guancheng, he naturally took the short spear in his hand. The plan was to find an opportunity to kill the commander of the guard and Rongcheng first after entering the city.

Herong City is divided into three parts, with the building area on the left and the streets in the middle. This is a passing Juncheng similar to the town. There are shops on both sides of the streets. However, the buildings in Herong City are very extensive and do not have the neat feeling of the town, and it seems like a slum area.

Herong City is generally a square city that is one mile long. After a thousand cavalry entered, there were no infantry passing through the city. After Herong City, the infantry passing through the army was five thousand military forces.

The city gate commander asked the "Fanshen" to wait in the street, and then rushed to the construction area on the right to report.

Normally, if you are in the custodial commander of Rongcheng, you will not take the initiative to meet the passing military commander unless you are close or have a higher position. If you come to meet each other, you will be taboo to make friends with military officials.

A moment later, a figure wearing a Dangxiang official robe followed by nine soldiers and left the right area to the street. Lu Qi looked far away and saw that the person coming was a middle-aged man with a gentle face, obviously a Han man. Lu Qi knew that the commander of the Xia army guarding Herong City was a Han man named Zhang Quan.

"Is Zhang Du Tongjun?" Fan Shuai and the middle-aged man approached and immediately asked in a daze.

"Yes, you are the commander of the imperial court, Lord Tuoba Hong." Zhang Quan responded with a smile. He came to see him because he thought that Master Xia had someone to bring a message, otherwise he would refuse to see him.

"Well." "Shishou" nodded. He didn't expect that he would see something passing by with his head close to his body. He was so shocked that he turned around. Zhang Quan, who was opposite, screamed, was passed by the thing passing by, and he fell down after being taken.

"Kill!" Lu Qi ordered the cavalry to unscathed their swords and pulled their feet to pounce on the nine Xia soldiers, one of whom was the commander of the city gate.

The sword light shone coldly, the gold and iron clashed, and then screamed. The nine Xia soldiers soon became ghosts under the sword. Then a thousand soldiers rushed to the city gate pass. Among them, Lu Hai and Li Bao ran in the front. The giant axe and the meteor hammer killed cruelly. In just a moment, they attacked the city wall along the horse road. Most of the Xia soldiers on the city wall were at a loss. Why did they still have internal conflicts?

Lu Qi walked to the side of the 'Shishou', reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and smiled and said, "Very good, very good. This time I won Herong City, I will remember your first contribution."

"My subordinate, Mr. Xie." "The Fanshu" changed from shock to joy and thanked him respectfully.

"Okay, wait until you take Wuwei City, you can pretend to be a little more." Lu Qi smiled and said again. "Shishou" looked up in shock, and then saluted with respect.
