Chapter 816. Zhan Gongchang (5).

After entering Haiyuan City, Zhao Junchen did not have any delay, and soon arrived at the office prepared by Fang Zhenshan.
After a general tour of the layout and environment of this official office, before Zhao Junchen had time to express his opinion, Fang Zhenshan took the initiative to plead guilty: "I only learned the news that Lord Qincha was going to Haiyuan City eight days ago, because the time was rushed, there was no time to prepare too much, this official residence was originally the office yamen of Haiyuan Zhizhou, compared to your noble status as Lord Qincha, this place is inevitably too simple, this is my Guyuan Military Town's hospitality is not good, and I hope that Lord Qincha will not be surprised...... However, the mansion prepared by you for Lord Qincha is the most famous mansion in Shaanxi and Gansu, which was originally the residence of the richest man in Haiyuan, but now it has been temporarily recruited by the lowly position, and there are many wonderful scenes in this house, I think you will be satisfied with it. ”
However, Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "This official residence occupies a lot of land, and the office rooms are also sufficient, enough to accommodate all the civil and military officials and staff guards around me, which is enough, and there is no need to ask for too much in wartime...... Also, the mansion doesn't have to be specially prepared for me, during the time when I was in charge of the battle in Haiyuan City, I lived in the official office, and if I encountered an emergency military situation, I didn't have to waste time on the road...... It's a circle of houses near the official office, and you have to recruit them all to serve as temporary accommodation for all the officials, staff, and guards under my command, and save them from wasting time on the road! ”
On the side, Li Ru'an, the superintendent, also took the opportunity to explain to Fang Zhenshan: "When Lord Qincha was in the Huamachi camp, he always lived in the study of the Governor's Palace, just to save time and be able to deal with official documents and military information in a timely manner, and the rest time every day was only about three hours!" ”
After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Fang Zhenshan couldn't help but be stunned, but it was the first time he understood Zhao Junchen's pragmatic style.
Then, Fang Zhenshan's face was full of admiration, and he said: "Lord Qincha's diligence and public heart are really a model for hundreds of officials, and I admire him for his humble duties. ”
No matter what his true thoughts were, Fang Zhenshan's words were indeed comfortable, and Zhao Junchen also nodded lightly.
Then, Fang Zhenshan said: "In addition, the humble post also set up a reception banquet for Lord Qincha in the Xianhe Tower, the largest restaurant in Haiyuan City, and the officials and celebrities and elders under the jurisdiction of Guyuan Military Town were all present, and many people wanted to take the opportunity to meet you, Lord Qincha, what ......do you think?" ”
As he spoke, Fang Zhenshan secretly looked at the change in Zhao Junchen's expression, wanting to take the opportunity to test whether Zhao Junchen's pragmatic style was true or false.
If it was an ordinary time, Zhao Junchen would indeed take the opportunity to contact the various factions in Guyuan Military Town, but now is not a good opportunity, so Zhao Junchen directly waved his hand and said: "There is no need for a reception banquet, after the war is over, there will be many opportunities to meet with them, and now the Gongchang Mansion is probably already in a bitter battle, or it is important to discuss the military situation." ”
"Humble duty understood."
When replying, Fang Zhenshan secretly made up his mind that he must try his best to show a pragmatic and capable style in front of Zhao Junchen in the future, so as to further win Zhao Junchen's appreciation and bring the relationship between the two closer.
Just when Fang Zhenshan secretly made up his mind, his staff member Niu Fude quickly came to Zhao Junchen's side and reported: "Lord Qincha, General He and Qi Garrison have already settled their respective armies, and now they have arrived in the official office, in addition, the officers accompanying the army have also settled down now, and they can listen to your orders at any time!" ”
Prior to this, He Zhang, Qi Bin and others did not accompany Zhao Junchen into Haiyuan City, but stayed outside the city to command the garrison of the various armies.
After hearing the report, Zhao Junchen's expression suddenly changed, and he ordered resolutely: "Since this is the case, I will order all civil and military officials above the fifth rank in Haiyuan City to come to discuss the military situation and listen to the military orders immediately!" ”
*
With Zhao Junchen's order, it was only a quarter of an hour later, in the hall of the Zhizhou Yamen in Haiyuan City, all the civil and military officials gathered together, and the atmosphere was solemn, and everyone was waiting for Zhao Junchen's order.
Zhao Junchen sat on the main seat of the lobby, looked around with majesty, and finally fell on Fang Zhenshan's body, and said: "General Fang, the Mongolian army has now entered the defense area of Guyuan Military Town, and a few days ago it broke through an acropolis in Longnan, as the chief guard of Guyuan Military Town, you must know more about the military situation than us, so it is up to you to tell everyone about the latest progress of the war!" ”
Fang Zhenshan immediately got up and replied, "Obey orders!" ”
Then, Fang Zhenshan turned around slightly and explained to Zhao Junchen and the officials: "Half a month ago, the Mongolian right wing and the Dzungar Khanate suddenly gathered 50,000 troops in the territory of the Alxa Right Banner, and invaded the Gansu region through the Alxa Banner area, and successively broke through the Zhenfanwei of the Gansu military town and the broken guard of the Guyuan military town, because the incident happened suddenly, the Mongolian army also moved extremely quickly, and the defenders everywhere were powerless to stop it, but in just eight or nine days, they let them invade the territory of Gongchang Mansion!"
Three days ago, the Mongolian army broke through the Zhenning Acropolis of Gongchang Mansion and several surrounding military forts in one fell swoop, according to the latest military information received by the Humble Position, the Mongolian army has now surrounded Jiezhou City, and Jiezhou City and Guyuan Military Town have lost contact! However, there are 30,000 elite support of the forbidden army in Jiezhou City, and there should be no worry about breaking the city in a short time. ”
After hearing Fang Zhenshan's explanation, everyone present had a worried face and a serious expression, obviously thinking that the situation was grim.
Among them, He Zhang snorted even more angrily and said: "The goal of the Mongols this time is to store grain in Jiezhou City, and Zhenning Acropolis is the vanguard of Longnan, and it is also the protection wing of Jiezhou City, if the Zhenning Acropolis does not fall, the Mongols must be scruples and dare not attack Jiezhou City with all their might, but now that the Zhenning Acropolis has fallen into the hands of the Mongols, the pressure on Jiezhou City is not only doubled!?" The defenders of Zhenningwei are really incompetent! ”
After hearing He Zhang's angry rebuke, all the officials present echoed it, all thinking that the fall of Zhen Ningwei had made the war passive, while Zhao Junchen's expression flashed a trace of weirdness.
In fact, the fall of the Zhenning Acropolis was secretly promoted by Zhao Junchen.
The fall of the Acropolis may seem like a tactical failure, but it is not necessarily a bad thing on a strategic level!
In fact, many of Zhao Junchen's follow-up plans revolved around the Zhenning Acropolis.
Moreover, the reason why Fang Zhenshan surrendered to Zhao Junchen was largely because of the fall of Zhen Ningwei!
In addition, through the fall of Zhenningwei, Zhao Junchen also inserted a nail into the Mongol coalition army, which will be of great use at critical moments.
However, only a few people knew Zhao Junchen's true plan, and He Zhang's personality was too upright, and many things were not easy to explain to him, so Zhao Junchen quickly changed the topic.
"Now, no matter how much you reprimand Zhen Ningwei, you can't change anything!" Zhao Junchen said quietly: "Ben Qincha just wants to know, do you have any way to turn the tide of the battle?" ”
