When Lieutenant Luo Chengjie heard that the West City Gate had been breached by a rebel army, and he had killed the General Military Mansion, he was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly led 3,000 men and horses straight to the General Military Mansion, and at the same time asked people to notify more than 2,000 officers and soldiers in the military camp in the city to come to help the Savior. Captain Duchen on the west gate tower also waited for the fire to be a little smaller, and rushed down the city tower with 2,000 archers to kill the general army's mansion.

After the three people rushed to the General Soldier's Mansion, they surrounded the General Soldier's Mansion, Luo Duwei was about to lead the troops into the mansion, but he saw that the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion was open, and two columns of mighty and majestic soldiers were lined up on both sides of the General Soldier's Mansion compound, and the mansion was very quiet, not like there were rebels making a rebellion.

Seeing this scene, Captain Luo hesitated, if it was in normal times, he, the captain, would not dare to ride a horse and lead the troops to break into the General Soldier's Mansion without authorization. He had no choice but to stand in front of the gate and tentatively shouted inward: "The rebels must be in rebellion, come out quickly and surrender, if not, you will be killed here!"

After a while, above the lobby of the Shuaifu inside, a person stood up and said loudly to the outside: "You are rude, why do you rebel... Rebels? The new commander-in-chief is here, and we are discussing the handover, so you can quickly step down. ”

Luo Du and the two looked at each other, the speaker was Lord Tan Zhenshou, but his tone seemed to be different from usual, which made people a little suspicious, and the two looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

At this time, I suddenly heard a strange sound in the courtyard, and with a "bang", a bloody human head fell into the courtyard, rolled a few times and stopped.

Luo Du and the others looked at it, this was not Master Wei's head, they were shocked, and heard a voice like a bell from inside: "If you abandon the city and evacuate your duties, if you don't transfer troops back to defend in time, you will be guilty of the same person, and there will be no forgiveness!"

Hearing this, a cold sweat broke out on both of their backs, and after the two glanced at each other, they turned around and led their soldiers and horses to leave in a hurry, and they didn't dare to look back.

Seeing that the besiegers had withdrawn, Tianci invited Lord Tan, who was still standing there, to sit down, that Tan Zhenshou just saw a cold light on his side, and a human head fell to the ground, thinking that he had been beheaded, and the whole person was suddenly not possessed, and he was already frightened there, until he saw that it was Master Wei's corpse that fell to the ground, and he came back to his senses, and his heart was still full of worries: "Originally, it was the idea of this master surnamed Wei to kill this person, is this person also very clear about this?"

"Lord Tan don't have to worry, this person is deceiving the public, and the crime should be punished, if you can know it, you will change it, be loyal to the country, or you can also use it for me. Heavenly Gift said to him.

Tan Zhenshou immediately got up tremblingly, hugged his fists and bowed down and said: "Zhang, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, I will wait for the power of dogs and horses, and I dare not have two hearts, please, please, Mr. Zhang, rest assured!"

"Okay, Lord Tan, please sit down and tell me about the strength and defense of this county. ”

"Lord Xie!" Tan Zhenshou said after sitting down: "This Quyang County is a small city, but it is located in the main road to the south of the Western Regions, and it is also a very important pass. Since the loss of Tongyuan County, we have almost become a front line here, and we should have increased our troops to defend again, but the northern region was suddenly attacked by Tufan, and the imperial court was busy fighting fires, so the plan to increase troops to Quyang was temporarily shelved. ”

He glanced up at Tianci and said: "After the truce in the Central Plains and the withdrawal of Tufan, I heard that the imperial court will send a general soldier to take over, and it is estimated that a large army will be sent over at the same time." Well... He hesitated for a moment and said: "I don't want Lord Zhang to only bring a few hundred people to take office, so it is inevitable that he will be suspicious in the future, and he will be bewitched by the villain, and he will almost break the big thing, please forgive me!"

"Ha, ha" Tianci laughed: "The imperial court will indeed increase the number of troops to level the Western Regions, but it is not to send troops by itself, but to borrow the troops of Tufan to level the Western Regions." The imperial court has ceded the Western Regions to Tufan, and Tufan may send troops to the Western Regions in the near future, but it will not affect Quyang County, and we will not clash head-on with Tufan, so we will not send additional troops to defend here for the time being. The task I was sent here was just to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait and see what happened. ”

After listening to Zhang Tianci's words, Tan Zhenshou and his subordinates came to their senses, and several people began to discuss one after another.

"No wonder, there have been many rumors in the city recently, saying that the Tufan Congress is attacking the Western Regions, and some also say that even Quyang County will not be spared. Tan Zhenshou shook his head and said.

At this moment, the herald outside the door came to report, saying that the imperial court messenger had arrived, and there was an important document to pass to Tan Yunyue to guard.

Tan Zhenshou looked at Zhang Tianci, and after Tianci nodded, he led a few subordinates to the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion to greet him.

There was an official car parked at the gate, followed by three fast horses, and there was a person dressed in official clothes standing next to the car.

The man took out the documents he brought in the hall and read them according to the script, which probably meant that the imperial court now appointed Zhang Tianci, the deputy overseer of the cavalry battalion, to take over the post of the chief soldier of Quyang County, and to worship the western overseer, and to command the soldiers and horses of the three county towns of Quyang, Jinjiang, and Maguanshan, and guard the western pass for the imperial court to prevent Tufan and the rebels from going south. Tan Yunyue was also appointed to the post of deputy commander-in-chief.

Zhang Tianci and Tan Yunyue stepped forward to receive the letter of appointment, and the official verified the token held by Tianci before granting him the letter of appointment. After the handover was completed, Tan Zhenshou hurriedly ordered people to arrange a group of officials to rest at the official post.

The next day, Tianci ordered the three armies of the city to gather in the north school, he and Tan Deputy General and the generals sat in the Chinese army tent, and the whole army captain and above the generals lined up in front of the tent to listen to the order.

Deputy General Tan read out the appointment documents of the imperial court to the generals and introduced the newly appointed General Zhang to everyone.

Zhang Tianci briefly said a few words of encouragement, and after asking everyone about the number and tasks of each branch of the army, he rearranged and adjusted the deployment of the city defense, and appointed Liu Jiujin as the commander-in-chief, and selected soldiers who were good at riding and recruited recruits from all branches of the army to form an iron cavalry army of more than 1,000 people.

The officers looked at the hairy young man in front of them, and couldn't believe that this was the new chief soldier, and they were amazed, sighing that heroes have been young since ancient times.

At this time, a lieutenant came to the front of the queue, knelt on the ground with a plop, and kept kowtowing: "The little one who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai dares to offend the general soldier. As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket from his bosom and held it above his head while saving him.

Chen Jinwu, who was standing on both sides of the tent, saw that the person was the official who was on duty at the west gate that day, so he stepped forward and took the silver ticket into his arms, raised his leg and kicked the guy to the ground, and said: "I'm afraid that this guy has more than these silver taels at the gate of the county seat, you are limited to hand over all the property you have collected within one day, otherwise, you should be dealt with by military law!"

The guy rolled on the ground, then got up, nodded and admitted: "It must be handed in, it must be handed in." He jumped out with a disgraced face.

Seeing this, all the officers and soldiers couldn't help laughing, but some generals couldn't help but lower their heads and break out in a cold sweat.
