When Lou Chengjie, the commander of the Quyang County garrison, heard that the Xicheng Gate was broken by a rebel army and killed the General's Mansion, he was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat. He hurriedly led 3,000 troops to the General's Mansion, and at the same time asked someone to notify more than 2,000 officers and soldiers in the military camp in the city to come together to help fight the savior. The Du Wei on the Xicheng Gate Tower was also waiting for the fire to be small, and he led two thousand archers down the city tower and rushed down the city tower to fight to the General's Mansion.

After three groups arrived at the General's Mansion, they surrounded the General's Mansion. Just as the commander of Duwei Lou was about to lead his troops into the mansion, he saw that the gate of the General's Mansion was opened, and two rows of mighty soldiers were arranged on both sides of the General's Mansion. The mansion was very quiet, unlike the rebels who were in chaos. Looking inside, there were a group of people sitting in the lobby of the General's Mansion, majestic and solemn, looking like they were discussing matters.

When Captain Lou saw this scene, he became hesitant. If it were normal for him, he would not dare to ride a horse and lead his troops into the General's Mansion without authorization. He had to stop in front of the gate and shouted tentatively: "Don't make a rebel, come out and surrender quickly. Otherwise, he would kill you and others!"

After a moment, a man stood up in the lobby of the General Manager's Mansion and said loudly to the outside world: "Don't be rude, how can you rebel... the rebel? The new general is here. We are discussing the handover. You can retreat quickly."

When Lou and Du saw that the speaker was Lord Tan Zhenshou, but his tone seemed different from usual, which made people a little suspicious. The two looked at each other and didn't know what to do for a moment.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a strange sound in the yard. With a "bang", a bloody head fell into the yard. After rolling for a few turns, I rolled to the entrance of the yard and stopped.

Lou and Du looked closely and saw that this was not the head of Wei, the counselor of Master Tan of the General Mansion. The two were shocked and heard a loud voice coming from inside: "You are leaving the city defense and leaving the post without regard. If you do not immediately dispatch troops to defend, you will be the same as this person and will be killed without mercy!"

After hearing this, Lou and Du both had a cold sweat on their backs. After looking at each other, they turned around and led their troops to leave in a hurry, and did not dare to turn their heads back.

Seeing that the besieged troops had withdrawn, Tianlang asked Lord Tan, who was still standing there, to sit down.

Tan Zhenshou had just shook his eyes and saw a cold light flashing by his side. A head fell to the ground. He thought he had been cut off. He was completely stunned and was already scared. He was still feeling anxious until he saw that Master Wei's body was pounced on the ground. He was still worried and worried: "I originally had the idea to kill this person with the surname Xu. Could it be that the master with the surname Xu who was surnamed Xu even knew this? This person was really extraordinary!" He was anxious and frightened at the moment.

"Mr. Tan does not have to worry. This person is confused by the public and should be punished. If you know the mistakes, you should correct them. Be loyal to the country or use them for my own use." Tianlang said to him with consolation.

Tan Zhenshou immediately stood up tremblingly, bowed with his fists and said, "Xu, General Xu Shengming, we must be effective in serving the power of a dog and a horse. We will never dare to have a double heart. Please, please, General Xu, please, don't worry!"

"Okay, Lord Tan, please sit down and tell me about the military strength and defense of this county." Xu Tianlang said politely.

"Sir, Mr. Xie! I'll thank you!" Tan Zhenshou bowed deeply again, then sat down and said, "This Quyang County is a small city, but it is located on the important road from the Western Regions to the south. It is also a very important pass. In the past, the imperial court sent officers and soldiers to fight against the Western Regions were all stationed in Tongyuan City. This place is only considered to be the rear, with only more than 8,000 troops stationed. Since the fall of Tongyuan County, our place has almost become the front line. Originally, the imperial court wanted to send more heavy troops to defend, but the northern region was suddenly attacked by Qifan and went south to capture many cities in our country. The imperial court was busy putting out the fire for a while, and the plan to increase troops to Quyang was temporarily put aside."

He looked up at Tianlang and said, "After the Central Plains quit, Qifan retreated, I heard that the court would send a general to take over. I guess that the court would also send more troops to assist in the defense at the same time, but... well..." He hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't want Lord Xu to bring only a few hundred people to take office, so I can't help but feel suspicious, and bewitched by villains. I misjudged it for a moment, and almost ruined the big thing. Please forgive me!"

"Ha, ha" Tianlang laughed: "The court will indeed increase its troops in the Western Regions, but it is not sending its own troops, but using Qifan's troops to pacify the Western Regions. You don't know yet, the court has handed over the Western Regions to Qifan. Qifan may send troops to the Western Regions in the near future. However, it will not affect Quyang County, and we will not conflict with Qifan head-on, so there will be no more heavy troops here to defend. The task of sending me here is just to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight and watch the changes."

After hearing Xu Tianlang's words, Tan Zhenshou and his subordinates understood one after another, and the few of them started to whisper.

"No wonder, there are indeed many rumors in the city recently, saying that the Qifan Congress attacked the Western Regions, and some even said that even Quyang County was difficult to escape. People were panic for a while, and some of the big families were preparing to move south. After hearing what Lord Xu said, I felt relieved and would do a good job of servitude to the people as soon as possible." Tan Zhenshou said with some relief.

At this moment, a military commander came outside the gate to report that a special envoy of the court arrived and important documents were to be passed on to Tan Yunyue.

Tan Zhenshou looked at Xu Tianlang. After Tianlang nodded, he led several troops to the gate of the General's Mansion to welcome the special envoy.

An official car was parked at the gate, followed by Sanqi fast horses. Next to the car was a man dressed in official costume. Tan Zhenshou stepped forward and bowed to him. After a few greetings, he invited the person into the lobby of the General's Mansion.

The man took out the documents in the hall and read them in a book. The general meaning was that the court appointed Xu Tianlang, deputy governor of the Cavalry Battalion, to take over the position of General of Quyang County, and was appointed as the governor of Pingxi, commanding the troops of the three counties including Quyang, Jinjiang, and Maguanshan, to guard the western passes for the court to prevent Qifan and the rebels from going south. Tan Yunyue was appointed as the deputy general and took office today.

Xu Tianlang and Tan Yunyue stepped forward to receive the appointment letter. After the official checked the token held by Tianlang, they awarded the appointment letter to him. 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, Tianlang School Office ordered troops to gather in the North School Office. He and Deputy General Tan and the generals sat in the central army's tent. The generals above the lieutenant of the entire army lined up in front of the tent to obey the order.

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

Xu Tianlang briefly said a few words of encouragement, and asked everyone about the number and tasks of each army, he re-arranged and adjusted the city defense deployment, and appointed Niu Jiujin as the head commander of the cavalry battalion, and selected soldiers of good cavalry and recruited recruits from each army to form an iron cavalry army of more than 1,000 people.

The officers looked at the young man in front of him and couldn't believe that this was the new general. They all amaze and lamented that heroes have been young since ancient times.

After the lecture, when Xu Tianlang was about to announce the dissolution of the team, a lieutenant came to the front of the queue, knelt on the ground with a pounce, and kept kowtowing: "The little one has no eyes but no knowledge of Mount Tai, and dares to offend the general. I hope the adults don't remember the villain's past, so let the little one go." As he said that, he took out a silver note from his arms, and raised it over his head while saving Rao.

Chen Jinwu, who was standing in front of the tent, saw that the man was the official on duty at the west gate that day, so he went forward to take the silver note and put it in his arms, raised his legs and kicked the guy over to the ground, and said, "You guy exploited more than that in the gate of the county town. You can only hand over all the money you collected within one day, otherwise it will be handled by military law!"

The guy rolled on the ground, then got up, nodded and agreed, "You must hand in as many words, you must hand in as many words." He rushed out in a dusty state.
