Chapter 2061 Gui Zi Scroll The first difficulty coming from the west, facing it head on

Although Li Guibao was only the leader of Feng Ziying's bodyguard, he had been in the world for many years and he had some understanding of these things.

The rebel army is actually a semi-military organization that is formed by the gathering of random people, mixed with deserters, defeated soldiers and other personnel with certain military skills, and gradually formed through time and combat training.

If these rebels want to compete with the elite border troops, they are not worth mentioning. However, against the local garrison troops, they are not much different, or even stronger. After all, the quality of the garrison troops in the Zhou Dynasty is really inferior.

mentioned.

These rebel armies were able to unite, originally for survival, but when the power expanded and some careerists got in, they gradually transformed into a group fighting for interests and ambitions. The people who led the actions of this group have already

They are no longer ordinary people just trying to make ends meet.

"In other words, once several parties reach an agreement to divide the people and property in the city, they will join forces to attack, and it will be difficult to defend Wubao County?" Li Guibao asked thoughtfully.

"Well, it probably can't be defended." The visitor said with certainty: "There are only five or six hundred defenders in Wubao County, and there are about two or three hundred civilians. The rest are the servants of the gentry and landlords who fled into the city.

This type of personnel may be able to make do in small-scale battles, but once it becomes a large-scale all-out siege, they will probably be unorganized and unable to withstand it."

Li Guibao knew the situation of this capable man who was regarded as his martial nephew. He was born in a Hongnongwei military family. He once served as a coach of Minzhuang in Shaanzhou. Later, his sect arranged for him to join the Luoyang Escort Bureau and worked there for ten years.

Very capable manpower.

I transferred him here in an emergency because he had worked as a escort many times in the three provinces of Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi. He was familiar with the situation in the three provinces and could speak both black and white.

"Dingfeng, when do you expect them to launch an attack on Wubao County? What will happen if they take Wubao County?" Li Guibao rubbed his rough jaw and asked thoughtfully.

"Uncle Master, it's not easy to say that Shaanxi is in chaos right now. Any character who emerges from the wilderness can become the king and hegemony. He can pull up three to five hundred people and dare to say that he is a prince. It's a bit like the late Sui Dynasty.

The posture of the Eight Anti-Kings, but there are too many such anti-Kings in Shaanxi now, I estimate there are thirty or fifty..."

Liu Dingfeng said with a wry smile, "In troubled times, everyone has appeared. I can't even recognize a few of them, but they all feel like they are going to be the founding generals of the country. It's unimaginable."

The atmosphere suddenly became more relaxed, and Li Guibao also laughed and asked casually: "Dingfeng, how many have you come into contact with?"

"Two or three, maybe. We still have some connections in Shaanxi. We have to deal with people from all walks of life. Many of these people are involved in it, and many of them have become the leaders, so they can pull the strings.

I asked someone to introduce me to someone, and I met him, haha,..." Liu Dingfeng's mustache twitched with laughter, "If these people can succeed, then it's really going to kill me."

Li Guibao finally thought about it and said: "Dingfeng, I will take you to see Mr. Feng later. He may ask more detailed questions, and may also ask about some of our sect's arrangements in Shaanxi." And secrets, you don’t have to hide anything, just tell the truth..."

"Tell the truth?" Liu Dingfeng raised his thick eyebrows in surprise, "Uncle, is it appropriate? Some of them are secrets in our sect that are not allowed to be told outside. Mr. Feng represents the government. If you know about it,..."

Li Guibao shook his head, "This Mr. Feng is not a simple man. He is no stranger to Jianghu. My boss, Mr. Wu, turned out to be in the Lianghuai Capital Salt Envoy Department in Nanzhili, specializing in dealing with Jianghu sects. He is from Lord Feng's father-in-law. He knows everything about the rivers and lakes. If he can't hide it, he might as well say it openly. Lord Feng probably won't care about it. He once said that the world of the court is originally As one body, what the Jianghu sect has to do is to assist the court in maintaining the social order of the entire Zhou Dynasty, and Jianghu is just a part of it. I think it is very reasonable..."

Seeing that his uncle spoke so highly of Governor Feng, Liu Dingfeng pondered for a moment before nodding slowly, "Since my uncle said that, I have nothing to say, but..."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of you on the other side of the door." Li Guibao knew what Liu Dingfeng was worried about and patted his chest with emotion.

After listening to Liu Dingfeng's introduction brought by Li Guibao, Feng Ziying realized that although she had tried her best to make the situation in Shaanxi as bad as possible, she still underestimated how quickly the situation would deteriorate.

The rebels are even attacking Wubao. Once Wubao is lost, it means that Qikou Ferry may be controlled by the rebels and become a dangerous place that threatens Shanxi. The rebels can cross eastward and enter Shanxi.

This is not like Laoniuwan Ferry further north, where there are frontier fortresses on both sides. Yulin\Shanxi Towns stand side by side, and the rebels cannot defeat them at all. However, there are no dangerous places in Wubao to the west of Qikou Ferry, and to the east there are no dangerous places. Even Linxian's territory is an ordinary place.

There is no guard stationed, and the organization of the people is also in average condition. Once the rebels really find enough ferries to come east, they will really have to stab the waist and abdomen of Shanxi.

Feng Ziying had reminded Yang Yuan before, but Yang Yuan was the commander-in-chief of Datong, and this was already the southwest corner of Taiyuan Prefecture.

Although the jurisdiction of Shanxi Town theoretically includes this area, in fact more troops are concentrated in Mengjiayu - Xingxian - Kelanzhou (Zhenxiwei) - Ninghua Institute - Lubanzhai ——In the area north of Xinkou Village-Dingxiang-Yuzaoguan, across the Shanxi territory to the south of this line, the number of garrison troops decreased sharply, and most of them were guard troops, with almost no border troops.

Chai Guozhu's Shanxi Town was mostly destroyed by Su Shengdu. It can be said that the losses were heavy. It was not easy to reorganize. Therefore, the main troops were transferred to the north, and even less to the south. Even the garrison troops were transferred to strengthen the Shanxi Town frontier army. Many places have empty names, but in fact they are empty.

"Thank you Dingfeng for bringing this news. It seems that once I, the governor of Shaanxi, step into the land of Shaanxi, I will fall into the quagmire. Although Wubao County is just a small town, it is in Yulin Town. Right under your nose, after coming out of Yuhe Fort and passing Suijin Town, you will reach Mizhi. From Mizhi to Suide and Wubao, it is about the same distance, which is just a few dozen miles away. But are the troops in Yulin Town indifferent?"

Feng Ziying was not asking Liu Dingfeng, but purely out of emotion.

He doesn't know what the relationship between Yan'an Prefecture and Yulin Town is, but it seems that the relationship between the two parties must be very bad now. Otherwise, Yan'an Prefecture will ask Yulin Town for help. He Shixian will also take care of his face and send troops to help with the sweep.

Somewhat.

But now it seems that although Jiazhou, Mizhi and Suide do not seem to be in danger of being lost, but since even Wubao is like this, how long can Suide and Mizhi hold on?

If Suide and Mizhi were lost, and the thieves in Yanzhou, Luochuan and Yichuan in the south were even more rampant, could Fushi City, where the Yan'an Prefecture is located, survive?

If Yan'an Mansion is lost, the situation will be very difficult, so Yan'an Mansion cannot afford to lose.

Feng Ziying felt a little heavy. If Wu Fort fell, she would not even have a chance to cross the river, and would be forced to stay in Shanxi. But the longer she stayed, the situation in Shaanxi would be leaderless, which would only make it more chaotic and worse, giving the rebels an opportunity to take advantage of.

opportunity.

"Sir, the Yulin Army has actually played some role. At least Suide, Mizhi and Jiazhou are still in the hands of the imperial court. Although there are still rebel activities in the countryside, they have not dared to attack Suide and Mizhi.

This is the opportunity." Li Guibao interjected.

"Haha, to say that they have no effect at all, it must be a bit harsh, but their behavior has made the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Yan'an Prefecture in a bad situation. That's it for the south, but the north is condescending, and it is

If the key place relying on the Yulin Army is cut off in the middle, then Yan'an Prefecture will be in danger. Yan'an Prefecture is the backbone of Shaanxi. If it is cut off here, it will be difficult for us."

Feng Ziying also knew that he would definitely use the Yulin Army in the future, but he should not rely solely on them, otherwise he would be afraid of trouble again.

He was a little impatient for a while. Now he had to cross the river as soon as possible, otherwise Qikou Ferry would be controlled by the insurrectionary army. He and his party would have no choice but to continue south, pass Mengmen Ferry, cross the Qinjin Grand Canyon, and reach Longmen.

Cross, cross the river from there.

Longmendu is indeed easier, but it is too far south. Crossing the river is already the boundary of Xi'an Prefecture. The counties of Luochuan, Yichuan, and Yijun in the north are probably controlled by the rebels. If you want to go north again, you will need the same

Traveling through the chaotic military control area, not to mention the time wasted in vain, the danger has not been alleviated.

"Then what you mean is..." Li Guibao and Liu Dingfeng both heard the implication of Feng Ziying's words and were a little shocked. This is because they knew that there were tigers in the mountains and went to the tiger mountains.

If a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall, is this person really not afraid of death?

"Cross the river immediately. If Wubao County is captured, that's it. Before it is captured, we have to think of a way to save Wubao County first." Feng Ziying said every word.

Liu Dingfeng was shocked, "Sir, how is this possible? The rebel army has at least more than 3,000 troops, and there are ants gathering around it. Wu Fort cannot be saved at all. It is only a matter of time before it is captured.

And how can adults put themselves in danger? Once something happens, it will definitely shake up the government and the public, and the consequences will be disastrous..."

I have to say that Liu Dingfeng is not bad at eloquence and seems to be quite capable at work. Feng Ziying has developed a love for talents.
