The north wind blew up a gust of yellow sand, and the dragon-shaped Dayin army flag fluttering in the air made a rustling sound.
Jingbian Military Town is located ten miles south of Yanqingdun Beacon Tower.
Together with more than ten beacon towers such as Yanqingdun, it formed a complete military defense system.
The military town has city walls, gates, trenches and arrow towers.
There are more than one hundred soldiers stationed here, and there are barracks, granaries, arsenals, stables, wells, kitchens and other garrison living facilities.
In addition, there are also blacksmith shops and clinics.
It can be said that although it is small, it has all the necessary organs.
The atmosphere in the military town's command post was extremely tense.
Captain Zhong Dahu was receiving a group of officials from the capital.
"I, the humble centurion Zhong Dahu, pay my respects to the Minister!"
"I never thought the Minister would come to our military garrison in person. The entire Jingbian Military Garrison is honored, like... a spring breeze!"
Zhong Dahu was so excited that his voice trembled.
The official who came was Fan Nan, the Minister of War in the Dayin Dynasty.
The second-in-command of the Ministry of War was only accompanied by a dozen guards.
They actually came to the frontier military town from the capital city thousands of miles away, and there was no official from Hedong Dao and Shuozhou Prefecture to accompany them. Needless to say, they must have been on a secret visit, avoiding officials at the Dao and Prefecture levels and going directly to the front line.
It is not difficult to see that Minister Fan is a pragmatic person.
Perhaps the northern barbarians are threatening the border, and the Ministry of War is determined to govern the border and enhance combat effectiveness!
The sudden appearance of Fan Nan and his group left Zhong Dahu at a loss.
Zhong Dahu was a centurion and had met the highest-ranking official, the chief military commander of Hedong Road.
As for a high-ranking official from the central government, this was his first time.
He and all the officers in the military town stood in front of Fan Nan like elementary school students, not knowing where to put their hands.
"Captain Zhong, don't be nervous!"
Fan Nan sat on the armchair in the center of the command post, a kind smile on his face. "I've come here on another important military matter. I'm traveling incognito for convenience. Captain Zhong, please remember not to disclose this to the Shuozhou government."
"I understand, I understand!"
"I wonder if there is anything I can do for you, Your Excellency? I will do my best."
Zhong Dahu's smile was as beautiful as a blooming chrysanthemum, and his head nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
I am so lucky to have my name remembered by the Minister of War. Leaving a good impression in front of him will be helpful for future promotion.
"Captain Zhong, please do what you need to do. Don't let my arrival affect the border defense."
Fan Nan smiled slightly.
"No, no, my Lord Minister has condescended to come to this Jingbian military town, and I shall serve you wholeheartedly!"
Zhong Dahu quickly asked for orders, fearing that Fan Nan would not tell him to do something.
Seeing Zhong Dahu's persistence, Fan Nan didn't want to disappoint him, so he said, "Speaking of which, I do have something that I need Captain Zhong's assistance with."
Zhong Dahu was overjoyed and said anxiously: "Sir, please tell me..."
But before he could finish his words, he heard someone outside the command post shouting, "All of you, get out of my way! I have something important to discuss with the Captain!"
Fannan frowned.
Zhong Dahu was furious. From the voice, he knew the person outside the door was none other than his trusted confidant, Zhang Biao, the squad leader of the Yanqingdun Beacon Tower.
Although Zhang Biao usually gave him a lot of filial piety, he was very annoyed that he had to disturb him at this time.
He immediately smiled apologetically at Fan Nan and said, "Sir, I'm sorry for your rudeness. I'll go out and give you a severe reprimand right away."
Just when Zhong Dahu was about to go out to stop Zhang Biao angrily, Zhang Biao, carrying Han Zhong and a bunch of things, ignored the guards at the door and rushed in arrogantly.
"Master Zhong, so you are in there! Come and see what surprise I have for you!"
Zhong Dahu didn't expect Zhang Biao to dare to barge in. He was furious and pointed at Zhang Biao's nose and shouted: "I don't care what kind of surprise you have, get out of here right now!"
Zhang Biao didn't notice that there were other people in the command post, and he wasn't afraid of Zhong Dahu's rage, so he said fearlessly:
"Master Zhong, please don't be angry. Let me show you a surprise first!"
He didn't expect Zhang Biao to be so presumptuous and ignore his words. Zhong Dahu's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot and he was extremely angry.
He couldn't even control his subordinates in front of the high-ranking official from the capital. At this moment, he wanted to kill Zhang Biao with a knife.
"Get lost... or I'll show you what a fucking surprise is..."
However, before Zhong Dahu could finish his words, Zhang Biao and Han Zhong threw a pile of things in their hands into the hall.
Three scimitars and three sets of leather armor fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The heads of three Tartars who died with their eyes open also rolled out, and the smell of blood immediately filled the command post.
clang clang clang!
Just as Zhang Biao and Han Zhong opened the package, the guards beside Fan Nan quickly drew their swords and put them on the necks of the two men.
Only then did Zhang Biao realize that there were a dozen strangers in the command post.
Their faces were expressionless and murderous.
The person in the middle is majestic without being angry, and has the powerful aura of a superior.
"Mr. Zhong...Mr. Zhong, this is a misunderstanding!"
Zhang Biao was stunned. He quickly plodded to his knees and shouted, "I just killed three Tartars outside the beacon tower and have come to report my achievement to you, sir!"
"Even if you want to report your achievement, you can't trespass into the command post! Wait... Are you saying you beheaded three Tartars?"
Zhong Dahu was stunned and immediately became excited.
Oh my god!
This Zhang Biao, his arrival is really timely and ingenious!
Unexpectedly, when Lord Fan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War in the capital, came to Jingbian Military Town in disguise for a private visit, Zhang Biao presented him with such enormous wealth!
