At noon on this day, Fang Zhenshan, the chief soldier of Guyuan Town, was quietly waiting for Zhao Junchen's arrival outside Haiyuan City.

Behind Fang Zhenshan, there were all the civil and military officials in Guyuan Military Town, whether it was Ma Hancheng, the deputy commander-in-chief, or Zhang Wenqi, the governor of Guyuan, etc., everyone was in the list, and no one was absent.

They have been waiting since the morning, and now it is noon, and the scorching sun in late autumn is still very poisonous, and everyone is a little dizzy and tired, but Zhao Junchen has not appeared for a long time, and everyone can only continue to suffer, but no one is dissatisfied - at least no one dares to show it openly!

Since Zhao Junchen arrived in Shaanxi and Gansu, he first seized the military and political power in Shaanxi and Gansu by thunderous means, and then uprooted the Wang family, the richest man in Shaanxi and Gansu, in a short period of time, and then issued a series of effective decrees to stabilize the hearts of the military and the people in Shaanxi and Gansu......

After these actions, Zhao Junchen's prestige on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu has been completely stabilized, and the civil and military officials of Guyuan Military Town have also put away their arrogant mentality of supporting the army and self-respect, and they dare not show the slightest disrespect, for fear that they will offend Zhao Junchen and attract terrible revenge!

Unlike his predecessors as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Zhao Junchen not only had a powerful army, but Zhao Junchen was also willing to use this powerful army to eradicate any forces that dared to disobey him!

*

Seeing the humility and respect shown by the officials of Guyuan Military Town while waiting for Zhao Junchen, Fang Zhenshan secretly sighed in his heart, quite helpless!

Originally, when Zhao Junchen took control of the Shaanxi-Gansu border defense, Fang Zhenshan's attitude was to have limited cooperation with Zhao Junchen, and he could be regarded as actively cooperating with Zhao Junchen's various decrees, but the essence of this cooperation was that Fang Zhenshan believed that he was in an equal position with Zhao Junchen, and Guyuan Military Town still maintained a large degree of autonomy.

Fang Zhenshan's confidence in upholding such an attitude is because he is the chief soldier of Guyuan Military Town, and he has the support of nearly 100,000 border troops in Guyuan Military Town! Therefore, Fang Zhenshan thought that Zhao Junchen would never dare to shoot at him at will!

But now, with the deepening of Zhao Junchen's prestige, the civil and military officials of Guyuan Military Town no longer dare to disobey Zhao Junchen's orders at will, and several of Zhao Junchen's government and military orders have also produced effects one after another, and gradually won the support of the people at the bottom and the border army - in this way, it is absolutely impossible for Fang Zhenshan to maintain his autonomy and cooperate with Zhao Junchen on an equal footing!

What's more, Fang Zhenshan is indeed anxious and troublesome now, even if he wants to confront Zhao Junchen, he doesn't have any spare strength!

After Zhao Junchen formed the New Army of Soldiers, this army became a pivotal force in Shaanxi and Gansu, enough to compete with any military town, and He Zhang, who had been secretly suppressed by Fang Zhenshan many times over the years, actually became the commander of the New Army of Soldiers! In this way, if He Zhang wanted to take revenge on Fang Zhenshan, Fang Zhenshan's life would not be easy!

But compared to the battle situation in Guyuan Military Town, He Zhang's matter is not much trouble!

Now that the Mongolian coalition army has invaded Gongchang Mansion, and Gongchang Mansion has always been the defense area of Guyuan Military Town, once this war is a little unsmooth, then Fang Zhenshan, as the chief soldier of Guyuan Military Town, will inevitably bear the brunt and need to bear the greatest responsibility!

In fact, there are already big problems in the defense of Gongchang Mansion!

Just yesterday, Fang Zhenshan received an urgent report from Gongchang Mansion, saying that the Mongol coalition army had captured the Zhenning Acropolis and several nearby military forts, and was now attacking in the direction of Jiezhou City! Just when Fang Zhenshan and the others were waiting for Zhao Junchen outside Haiyuan City, maybe the Mongol coalition army had already begun to attack Jiezhou City!

Although the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu will encounter fire screening every year, but the loss of the city and land is very rare, such a thing now occurs in the defense area of Guyuan Military Town, Fang Zhenshan is already guilty of the crime, if he can't make up for it in time, he will inevitably be severely punished by the imperial court in the future!

Thinking of this, Fang Zhenshan couldn't help but marvel at Zhao Junchen's extraordinary means!

At the beginning, Zhao Junchen transported all the Shaanxi and Gansu military grain and disaster relief grain and grass to the Longnan area, Fang Zhenshan was still secretly happy in his heart, after all, the Longnan region is the sphere of influence of the Guyuan Military Town, such a large amount of grain and grass is stored here, Fang Zhenshan can harvest a lot as long as he moves a little!

But who would have thought that this grain and grass would eventually lead to a fierce attack by the Mongol coalition forces? Originally, Guyuan Military Town, which wanted to watch the fire from across the shore, was completely reduced to a war zone, and Fang Zhenshan was completely passive!

Now it seems that Zhao Junchen may have expected today's situation to change! When Zhao Junchen transported this grain and grass to the Longnan area, it was purely uneasy and kind!

It's a pity that Fang Zhenshan woke up too late!

Now, before Zhao Junchen saw Fang Zhenshan himself, he had already put Fang Zhenshan's years of hard work into practice, and all the advantages were lost! When Zhao Junchen arrived in Haiyuan City, Fang Zhenshan had no power to fight back, so he could only obey Zhao Junchen!

Because of this, after seeing the humble attitude shown by the officials of Guyuan Military Town when they were waiting for Zhao Junchen, Fang Zhenshan was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he was also helpless!

In fact, Fang Zhenshan was also humble at this time.

Under the current situation, Fang Zhenshan's future fate has been largely handed over to Zhao Junchen!

Thinking of this, Fang Zhenshan became more and more in awe of Zhao Junchen's methods, and his heart continued to sigh.

And just when Fang Zhenshan sighed in his heart, suddenly a scout rushed to Fang Zhenshan's front and reported: "Lord Commander, Lord Qincha has already led the army to ten miles east of Haiyuan City, and it will be here in a quarter of an hour!" ”

After hearing the report, Fang Zhenshan perked up and hurriedly ordered everyone on the left and right: "Hurry! Come with me to greet Lord Chin Cha Zhao! Lord Zhao has come from afar, we must not slack off! ”

After speaking, Fang Zhenshan took the lead in riding his horse and running eastward.

Behind Fang Zhenshan, all the civil and military officials of Guyuan Military Town also hurriedly followed!

*

After galloping for about half an hour, everyone in Guyuan Military Town finally saw Zhao Junchen's team.

The scale of this team is extremely huge, in addition to the new army of more than 15,000 soldiers, the new army of Qi Bin of more than 3,000 people, there are also 30,000 elite of the forbidden army, and tens of thousands of logistics teams, a total of more than 60,000 people, and all of them are the most elite tiger and wolf division!

After seeing the military appearance of this mixed army, Fang Zhenshan and the others all changed their faces slightly, and they became more and more in awe of Zhao Junchen's strength in their hearts.

Then, Fang Zhenshan couldn't care about sighing in his heart, and hurriedly contacted the vanguard of this army, expressing his intention to ask to see Zhao Junchen.

This time, Zhao Junchen did not let Fang Zhenshan wait for a long time, and soon summoned Fang Zhenshan!

Under the leadership of a general of the new army, Fang Zhenshan came to the center of the army, and finally met Zhao Junchen.

At this time, Zhao Junchen was riding a horse, and after seeing Fang Zhenshan's figure from a distance, he stopped in place.

Fang Zhenshan didn't dare to look at Zhao Junchen's appearance and temperament, nor did he care about observing the civil and military officials around Zhao Junchen, but hurriedly ran to Zhao Junchen's horse, knelt down on one knee and saluted, and said in a loud voice: "Fang Zhenshan, the lowly Guyuan General Soldier, meet Lord Qincha!" Lord Chincha has come from afar, and he is fortunate to have suffered! ”

Zhao Junchen looked down at Fang Zhenshan for a moment.

Among the four major military towns in Shaanxi and Gansu, it is necessary to count the Fang Zhenshan in front of him is the most difficult to deal with, this person is not only a civil and military all-rounder, scheming, but also runs the Guyuan military town like an iron bucket can not be splashed, Zhao Junchen took over the defense of Shaanxi and Gansu at the beginning, the most worrying thing is that Fang Zhenshan will take a clear stand against his policies, so that the officers from all over Shaanxi and Gansu will inevitably follow the example, fortunately, Fang Zhenshan is still cooperative during this time, and then look at Fang Zhenshan's humble posture now, it is obvious that he took the initiative to surrender to Zhao Jun.

Thinking of this, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Zhao Junchen's eyes.

Then, Zhao Junchen said with a serious expression: "Ben Qincha is still too late after all!" I've heard...... The Zhenning Acropolis in the Longnan region and several surrounding military forts have been breached by the Mongol coalition forces? Alas! If I had led troops to support a few days earlier, this might not have happened! Not to mention the loss of the city and land now, the future war will be much more passive! ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Fang Zhenshan's expression couldn't help but flash a trace of bitterness and helplessness.

Zhao Junchen's words seemed to be just ordinary emotion, and he didn't even have any intention of reprimanding Fang Zhenshan for dereliction of duty, but in fact, he threw all the black pots of losing the city and land on Fang Zhenshan's body, saying that the fall of the Zhenning Acropolis was before Zhao Junchen personally presided over the battle, so this matter has nothing to do with Zhao Junchen, and it is all the responsibility of Guyuan Military Town!

Zhao Junchen's words have a deep meaning, how can Fang Zhenshan not hear it?

However, after Fang Zhenshan hesitated for a moment, he didn't have any rebuttal, so he followed Zhao Junchen's statement and took the black pot on his back, and said in a deep voice: "All this is a dereliction of duty!" Lord Qincha, you have the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, if you are in charge of the overall situation, I believe that such a thing will not happen! I don't dare to defend myself now, I just hope that Lord Qincha can give you a chance to make meritorious contributions! ”

Seeing Fang Zhenshan's statement, Zhao Junchen was stunned at first, obviously he didn't expect Fang Zhenshan to take on the responsibility of losing the city and land so calmly!

Then, a hint of appreciation flashed in Zhao Junchen's eyes, but he glanced at Fang Zhenshan, who was meeting for the first time in front of him.

In fact, because Zhao Junchen sent Guan Wuyuan to lead 30,000 elite forbidden troops to the Longnan region to support, Guan Wuyuan was already the de facto supreme military leader in the Longnan region, so if Fang Zhenshan wanted to take off the responsibility of losing the city and land, there were still some opportunities!

Moreover, Fang Zhenshan is the biggest snake in Guyuan Military Town after all, and now Zhao Junchen has come to Guyuan Military Town's sphere of influence to preside over the war, everything can't bypass Fang Zhenshan, so Fang Zhenshan also has bargaining capital!

However, Fang Zhenshan did not do this, but handed over the initiative to Zhao Junchen, saying that everything was based on Zhao Junchen's will, and clearly showed his surrender!

In this way, Fang Zhenshan certainly took the responsibility for losing the city and land, but Zhao Junchen must also repay the favor, not only can he no longer deal with Fang Zhenshan, but he must also try to settle the responsibility for Fang Zhenshan's loss of land!

Such a choice is not something ordinary people can do!

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen's expression was also a little softer, and he nodded: "General Soldier Fang, you can rest assured, since I have come here to personally preside over the battle situation, there will naturally be many opportunities for you to make meritorious contributions...... The responsibility of losing the city and land is of course very heavy, but we don't have to rush to gain and lose one place at a time, if the plan I set goes well, it is not difficult for you to make meritorious service if you want to be guilty of it, and when the war is over, you may be able to accumulate military merits and go further! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen looked around and said, "This is not a place to talk, let's talk in detail after entering Haiyuan City!" ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen mention the word "we" twice, obviously accepting himself, Fang Zhenshan suddenly looked happy, and hurriedly said: "What Lord Qincha said is true!" The humble post has already prepared a mansion and official office for Lord Chincha in Haiyuan Castle, and everything is guaranteed to the satisfaction of Lord Chincha! ”

Zhao Junchen nodded with a smile and said, "General Soldier Fang is the lord of the locality, so you will lead the way!" ”

"Obedience!"

After speaking, Fang Zhenshan finally stood up, turned over on his horse, and followed Zhao Junchen's side.

It was not until this moment that Fang Zhenshan finally had the opportunity to look at Zhao Junchen's image and temperament, as well as the civil and military officials around Zhao Junchen.

When he was looking, Fang Zhenshan suddenly noticed that someone was looking at him, with a trace of rejection in his eyes, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look, but saw that the person who was looking at him was He Zhang, the commander of the new army.

In this regard, Fang Zhenshan was not surprised, but smiled kindly at He Zhang, and then rode close to Zhao Junchen's side and talked to Zhao Junchen.

On the other side, Zhao Junchen also saw the performance of Fang Zhenshan and He Zhang.

Judging from the performance of Fang Zhenshan and He Zhang alone, He Zhang has been suppressed by Fang Zhenshan for many years before, and it is really not wronged!

At the same time, although He Zhang regards himself as Zhao Junchen's confidant, he is more loyal to the court after all, and he cannot be accepted as a confidant after all, in comparison, it is this Fang Zhenshan and Zhao Junchen who are all the way!

Thinking of this, a trace of inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.

While thinking in secret, Zhao Junchen did not move on the surface, just chatted with Fang Zhenshan for a few words, and met several important civil and military officials in Guyuan Military Town under Fang Zhenshan's introduction.

Then, Kaiwon Castle finally appeared at the end of the field of vision.

Originally, this was just an ordinary medium-sized city, but in the next period of time, with the arrival of Zhao Junchen, this place will replace the Huamachi camp and become the command center of the entire Shaanxi and Gansu war!
