Ganzhou City, that is, Zhangye in later generations, is the Gansu Five Guards Governing Office, and it is also the seat of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, but with the increasing power of the town guard general military system, the Shaanxi Xingdu Division has actually become more of an institution for the management of the garrison of each guard town, and the real training and fighting power has been gathered in the hands of the town guard general army.

With the loss of the Seven Guards of Kansai, Ganzhou has in fact become the most prosperous city at the western end of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, the so-called prosperity here naturally cannot be compared with cities such as Datong and Xi'an, not to mention cities such as Jingshi, Suzhou, Yangzhou and Jinling, but in the Hexi Corridor, including Hetao, it is the leading big city.

The city, together with the families of the guards and officers, and the merchants and residents who provided services to the town guard and the capital division, exceeded 30,000 people, which could be regarded as a prosperous place in the western part of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

When Feng Ziying and his party came to the General Military Mansion, the entire General Military Mansion was already in chaos.

Since the death of the previous chief soldier, the deputy chief soldier Ma Xia has been acting as the chief soldier here, but this Ma general soldier is obviously not qualified.

Yesterday, Feng Ziying and his entourage came to the General Soldier's Mansion early in the morning and asked the guard, but the doorman only said that the Deputy Chief Soldier had not seen anyone early in the morning, and even the accompanying guards were gone, so they didn't know where they went, maybe they went to inspect the town army.

The circumference of the town of Ganzhou reached ten miles, and each part was scattered to guard the four gates, and with the fall of Liangzhou Wei and Yongchangwei, the situation here became increasingly tense.

At such an emergency, General Ma suddenly disappeared, and he didn't see anyone from yesterday to this morning, and he disappeared like this with dozens of guards, which is obviously incredible.

When Feng Ziying, Zhang Jin and the others rushed to the General Military Mansion, they caught up with a general who came to report the military situation, and Tie Qing was scolding with a blue face.

"What's the matter, this brother?" Feng Ziying already had some not-so-good predictions, but he still tried his best to understand the current situation, if the situation was really out of control, I'm sorry, it was important to run away from the West Gate quickly, he would never bury his life in such a place, even if it was a detour back from Xiningwei, at least it would be better than being buried in this funeral and rebellion.

"Who are you?" The strong man in iron leaf armor unceremoniously pushed away Feng Zuo, who was blocking in front, and said sharply: "The important land of the General Soldier's Mansion is allowed to be trespassed by unrelated people? ”

"The general soldiers have already run away, what are you talking about?" Feng Ziying sneered and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Hearing Feng Ziying say that the general soldiers were running away, the strong man's face changed suddenly, and the waist knife in his hand was about to move, but he had already been held down by Feng Zuo with one hand: "Don't be impatient, I'm not an outsider!" ”

The strong man felt the fierce aura from Feng Zuo's body, raised his hand slightly, did not carry it, and then lucked, Feng Zuo's hand had already been released, and then he squinted his eyes and looked at Feng Ziying and his party, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you waiting for, hurry up and report your name, otherwise don't blame Ben will be polite, come here!" ”

Several heavily armored soldiers had already poured out with guns, and one of them was carrying a three-eyed firearm.

Without waiting for Feng Ziying to speak, Zhang Jin had already stood up: "Zhang Jin, the deputy Qianhu of the Fu Division of Beizhen, the official Long Ban Lieutenant, was ordered by Lord Chai, the right attendant of the military department and the governor of the three sides, to envoy the Tumut Department and supervise the army in Gansu together with the army Zanhua and Shu Jishi Feng Keng!" ”

Long Banwei Beizhen Fusi? This really frightened the strong man in front of him, with an expression of disbelief on his face, but when he saw the waist card of the dragon forbidden lieutenant shown by Zhang Jin, the general hurriedly bowed his hand: "The last general of Gansu Town, the guerrilla general Jing Zhizhong, has seen Lord Zhang!" ”

Seeing Zhang Jin return the salute, but Feng Ziying's identity as a Jishi made Jing Zhizhong a little puzzled.

He is also from a martial arts background, although he is living in this Gansu town, he still knows what the identity of Shu Jishi is, but he has never heard that Shu Jishi can still praise paintings with the army.

Generally speaking, the painting should be the head of the military department, how did it become a nondescript Shu Jishi to praise the painting with the army? Also sent to the Ministry of Tumut?

It seems that even this Zhang Qianhu is still dominated by this young man?

After a slight hesitation, Jing Zhizhong reluctantly raised his hand: "The last general has seen Feng Zan's painting." ”

Praise painting is not an official position, just a messenger, but you can't call the other party Feng Shujishi, right? That's too much to say.

Feng Ziying looked the other party up and down, "Uncle He Qianhoujing of the Shoushan Bohe family doesn't know who he is?" ”

The strong man was taken aback, and also looked Feng Ziying up and down: "It's the uncle of the last general, I don't know how to drive ......."

"It turned out to be Brother He Shi! Under Feng Keng Feng Ziying, the father of the Shenwu general Feng Tang. Feng Ziying said with a smile.

"Huh?!" He Zhizhong was taken aback, "Are you the Feng family's eldest man?" ”

The Feng family and the He family are not too close, but they are both considered martial arts, and like the Shoushan Bo He family and the Feng family, they are different from the four kings and eight princes, and they were all from the dragon after Zhou Taizu raised troops to fight in the north.

The He family is a family of military generals in Baoding, Beizhi, and the Feng family is a family of Linqing in Shandong, all of which belong to the northern martial arts, which are different from the old martial artists who have been from the dragon since Jinling.

Obviously, He Zhizhong has also heard of Feng Ziying's name.

Feng Ziying has the impression that He Qianhou is the current head of the He family, as if he is a hereditary second-class man, who has always been idle at home, but his sister-in-law He Zhisheng Feng Ziying is very impressed.

Because He Zhisheng is the commander of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division, when Liu Xianglian bought the garden, she had dealt with the Terracotta Division, and Feng Ziying also came to the door specifically for this purpose.

Moreover, the appearance characteristics of the He family are particularly obvious, with a pair of towering cheekbones and thick black hanging eyebrows, which can be recognized at a glance.

He Zhisheng and this guy are really a bit like brothers, I didn't expect them to be cousins, but after thinking about it, this guy actually went to a remote place like Ganzhou to be a general, and it is estimated that he is not even a grandson, and if he doesn't get it, he is a concubine who was kicked to Gansu Town, but looking at his appearance, he looks like a person who can fight, and it is not bad to be able to mix with guerrilla generals.

"Brother He, I didn't expect to meet Brother Shi here, I should have said that it was a lucky meeting, but the current scene is really not a lucky meeting." Feng Ziying also bowed, "The junior brother was ordered by Lord Chai, the right attendant of the military department, the governor of the three sides, and Lord Yushi Yang, the right servant of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to envoy the Tumut Tebu Shitu Department together with Lord Zhang, and then made a detour to Gansu Town to check and supervise military affairs, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing as soon as I came,......

As soon as the words were spoken, it could be regarded as a foreign acquaintance, they were all the children of Wuxun in Beijing, and Feng Ziying deliberately made friends, and quickly became warm: "Brother He Shi, it seems that Ma Xia should have run away, who is the main person in the city now?" ”

He Zhisheng's face was also full of bitterness, "Don't hide it from my brother, I only arrived last night for my brother." Brother Yu was stationed at the Gaotai Station, and after receiving an order from the Chief Soldier, he set off the morning before yesterday and rushed to the General Army's Mansion last night, saying that the Chief Soldier had not returned, and he would go back to rest after paying the order, and as soon as he came today, it had become such a situation,......"

Feng Ziying knew that Gaotai, this is the choke point between Ganzhou and Suzhou, generally speaking, it is a guerrilla general who led an army of 3,000 to garrison, it seems that Ma Xia originally planned to concentrate his forces to defend Ganzhou, but it is estimated that he saw that the chaotic army was strong, and he was afraid that he would not be able to walk away from being surrounded in the city, so he simply left.

"Is there a person in charge in this Ganzhou city now? How many troops are still mobilized? Feng Ziying didn't have time to say more, he just had to ask if there was any room for redemption, no, then quickly pull He Zhisheng all the way west and escape to Gaotai.

He Zhisheng hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know if I am a brother, but if General Ma flees alone, then there should be three or five thousand troops in the city, and General Guo Shengyao doesn't know if Da Lang can be known?" ”

Feng Ziying shook her head and said in a deep voice: "Brother Shi, I just ask, can he immediately organize the defense of the city and keep an eye on the rebels' attack?" Add your people too! ”

"Da Lang, I only brought a thousand people, although there are still three or five thousand soldiers in the city, but I don't know how many can be gathered." Seeing Feng Ziying's eyes like torches, staring at him motionlessly, He Zhisheng finally nodded with difficulty: "General Guo is the number one character in Gansu Town, you have to find him and ask." ”

"Then send someone to find it immediately!" Zhang Jin's sinister voice startled He Zhisheng, and then he remembered that there was a ruthless man with a dragon forbidden lieutenant beside him, "Okay, I'll let me go find it immediately." ”

********

"How sure are you?" Feng Ziying stood at the head of the city and looked at the rebels under the city walls who had begun to prepare for the second round of siege, knowing that he was a layman, but he still wanted to ask.

He Zhisheng ignored him, and Feng Ziying could only shut up.

The rebels came quickly, not at all like the end of the so-called strong crossbow, but the number of people was less than expected, only about 8,000 people, less than 10,000, which gave Feng Ziying some confidence.

But the situation in the city is even more chilling, there are less than 2,000 soldiers, Guo Shengyao, the staff general, personally went to the city in the round of enemy raids just now, was seriously wounded, and is now unconscious, but he successfully defeated the first round of the enemy's offensive launched with sharp energy.

I have to say that Ganzhou City did not fall, and it largely relied on the death of Guo Shengyao's more than 2,000 soldiers.

The town of Ganzhou is too big, and if the 8,000 rebels want to disperse and attack, they will obviously not be able to catch it, so the rebels are also very smart and directly choose the weakest southern city gate as the breakthrough point.

Of course, raids are inevitable, and the raids of three or five hundred people can make the defenders in the city scramble, and once they break through, they can have the effect of breaking the surface with points.

"It's all Liu Baichuan's soldiers, and there are no Mongols?" The ten night guards and sentries who followed were divided into several groups, each group with thirty or fifty soldiers to patrol the city wall, once there were rebels climbing the city, they would be responsible for culling, while Zhang Jin and Feng Zuo personally led a hundred elites, as a reserve, once they broke through, they would personally go up.

He Zhisheng took a deep breath, as a guerrilla, he was driving ducks to the shelves, and one person was responsible for guarding the whole city, but a huge Ganzhou city, not to mention two or three thousand people, even ten thousand horses were not enough, but fortunately, the rebels were not enough.
