When Fang Zhenshan, the chief soldier of Guyuan Military Town, Wu Qifan, the prefect of Xi'an, and Zhou Bo, the envoy of Shaanxi, entered the tent, Zhao Junchen had already recovered to his usual calm and calm, shrewd and decisive appearance, and he did not see the slightest fatigue at all!

At least, on the surface!

After the three of them entered the tent, they were all happy, obviously bringing good news.

After saluting and greeting, Fang Zhenshan couldn't wait to say: "Lord Qincha, Li Jianjun sent someone to send the news, saying that the riot in Tianshui City has all been quelled, and all the people involved in this riot have also been subdued. Today, the government has regained control of Tianshui City, and the city defense of Tianshui City has also been restored, but it is just ......"

Speaking of this, Fang Zhenshan's face showed a strange color.

On the other side, Zhou Bo continued: "It's just that when Li Jianjun's army quelled the riots in Tianshui City, the Mongolian Tartars suddenly sent troops to attack Tianshui City, and the officials, merchants, and nobles of Tianshui City all set an example and took the lead in defending the city, but the Mongol Tartars' offensive was too big, although Tianshui City finally repelled the strong attack of the Mongolian Tartars, but the prefect Deng Fuquan, the garrison Yao Qi, Tianshui Boguo Zhen, Tongzhi Zhang Shunping, Jujia Wang Yan and others were all martyred!" ”

When he spoke, Fang Zhenshan, Wu Qifan, and Zhou Bo all had strange expressions!

Among them, Zhou Bo snorted lightly and said, "Hmph! Martyrdom...... It's really cheap, these corrupt officials and gentry! ”

Obviously, these officials, merchants, and nobles in Tianshui City could never have died in the battle of defending the city, and these people did not have such courage and consciousness, it must have been Li Ru'an's hands after killing them, and he was worried that the imperial court would investigate them afterwards, so he put the responsibility on the Mongols.

In a way, these killed officials, merchants, and nobles did take a big advantage, and at least the cause of death would not be held accountable by the imperial court, nor would it involve the clansmen, and maybe they would be posthumously sealed by the imperial court.

At the same time, after Zhao Junchen learned the news of Tianshui City, he was also secretly relieved in his heart, but Zhao Junchen's expression was still indifferent, as if he completely believed Li Ru'an's report, and did not dwell too much, but said: "To quell the rebellion in Tianshui City in such a short period of time, Li Ru'an has done a good job...... The official was originally worried that he would be negligent when doing things, but now it seems that the official is underestimating him! ”

After a pause, Zhao Junchen's words changed, his expression became much more serious, and he said: "Now that the Tianshui Rebellion has subsided, we don't need to pay more attention, the top priority now is still the war in front of us!" As long as there is no problem with the garrison of Tianshui City, the encirclement we arranged for the Mongolian coalition army will be re-closed, and the original battle plan can be continued! ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Fang Zhenshan, Wu Qifan, and Zhou Bo all had a permeated expression, and they all looked serious and focused, quietly waiting for Zhao Junchen's orders.

Zhao Junchen's gaze turned to Zhou Bo and asked, "In the past few days, the soldiers have been hiding in this valley and not daring to make any moves, but their morale is still the same?" ”

Zhou Bo's face showed admiration, and he replied loudly: "Lord Qincha, your military merits are rewarded very high, and the rewards and punishments are clear, there is never arrears, and there is a daily grievance meeting to stimulate morale, and there is a new army of soldiers as an example, the soldiers have been full of fighting spirit during this time, repeatedly asked for battle, and no longer see the fear of war in the past, if it were not for the humble duty and repeated stopping, the soldiers may have been unable to hold back and rush out to fight with the Mongols!" I have been leading the troops for decades, and I have never seen the soldiers of the border army have such morale! ”

Zhao Junchen nodded, then turned his head to look at Fang Zhenshan, and asked, "Is the defense of Jiezhou City and Zhenning Acropolis still stable?" ”

Fang Zhenshan hurriedly replied: "Because the Mongols are too dense to explore the horses, it is not easy for our army to explore the situation of Jiezhou City and Zhenning Acropolis, the latest news is two days ago, the offensive of the Mongolian coalition army is certainly a wave of victory, but the city defense of Jiezhou City and Zhenningwei can still be held, and considering that the Mongols are not good at attacking cities, presumably the city defense of these two places can still hold on for a while!" ”

Zhao Junchen nodded again, and asked Wu Qifan again, "What is the situation of the defenders around Jiezhou City?" Is there a problem with the logistics of our army? ”

Wu Qifan was obviously prepared, and immediately replied: "After receiving the order from Lord Qincha, the defenders in various places have already formed their entire army and are ready to send troops to harass and block the Mongol coalition army at any time!" In addition, the news from Gansu Junzhen and Qi Bin's new army has already arrived, and they have arrived at their respective positions by order! Our army's logistical food and grass are a little insufficient, but it is enough to hold out for another five days, as long as Lord Qincha's plan goes well, it is enough! ”

After hearing the reports of Fang Zhenshan, Wu Qifan, and Zhou Bo, Zhao Junchen's eyes flashed with a ray of essence, and his voice was a little louder: "This Tianshui City rebellion, in a way, is also a mistake, a mistake, in order to attract the attention of the Mongols, we let the Mongols know in advance the news that General He Zhang recaptured the Acropolis of Zhenning, and now the Mongolian coalition army has been divided into two ways, all the way to attack Jiezhou City, all the way to attack the Acropolis of Zhenning, just gave our army the opportunity to break one by one!" …… Now, everything is ready, and our army no longer has to be forbearing, and can give it a go...... Spread the order of the Chin Cha! ”

As Zhao Junchen's words fell, Fang Zhenshan, Wu Qifan, and Zhou Bo all said in unison: "Please also ask Lord Qincha to give an order!" ”

Zhao Junchen's voice became louder and louder, with firmness and confidence in his tone, and he raised his voice: "Order the whole army, immediately pull out the camp and prepare for battle!" ”

After Fang Zhenshan and the others shouted their orders, Zhao Junchen finally said the battle plan he had prepared for a long time!

"Send 500 cavalry as scouts to block the road between Jiezhou City and Zhenning Acropolis, you don't have to fight with the Mongols, but you must intercept and kill all the horses and messengers of the Mongol coalition army, and block the connection between the two Mongol armies!"

"General Soldier Fang, you will lead the main army of Guyuan Military Town of 12,000 people and the new army of 3,000 soldiers as the vanguard, take the lead in entering the range of Jiezhou City, and go to the Acropolis of Zhenning at the fastest marching speed to support, you don't have to cover up your tracks during the march, but you have to attract the attention of the Mongols with great fanfare, and the 15,000 men and horses under your command should be able to create a momentum of 50,000 horses! At the same time, all the Mongol exploration horses encountered on the march must also be driven away to ensure that the whereabouts of the main force of our army are not detected by the Mongols in time! When you arrive at the Acropolis of Zhenning, be sure to join forces with the old general He Zhang, and deal a heavy blow to the Mongol army attacking the Acropolis of Zhenning! ”

"After General Fang led the troops to leave, the whole army pulled out the camp and went to Chengxian County to ambush! After the Mongol coalition army discovered the direction of the march of the general army, they would inevitably send troops to the Acropolis of Zhenning to support, and Chengxian was the place where the Mongol reinforcements must pass! Our army is going to take them by surprise here! ”

"Order the military town of Gansu to immediately enter the scope of Gongchang Mansion, and in addition to putting pressure on the Mongols, it is necessary to block the western route of the Mongols and force the Mongols to retreat to the east!"

"Order the prefectures and counties in various places to send their own armies and harass and delay the Mongol march with all their might, so that they must not be at peace!"

"Summoning Haiyuan City, the follow-up border army soldiers will set off immediately, enter Gongchang Mansion again, and after entering Gongchang Mansion, they will go straight to the direction of Tianshui City and join the main force of the border army!"

As Zhao Junchen's orders were handed down one after another, the main camp of the border army, which had been pressed for a long time, gradually became agitated!

This war has finally returned to its original track!

A bloody battle, on the verge of breaking out!
