The chaos in Shuzhong has continued for nearly 20 years, mainly because the Nanban and Tubo continue to invade Xichuan, in order to resist the invasion of Nanban and Tubo, the imperial court increased the military investment in Xichuan, giving Jiannan Jiedu great power, so that Jiannan Jiedu made the faint become the soil emperor of Xichuan, and the power was monstrous.

In order to resist the invasion of Shu by Tubo, as long as the Jiannan Jiedu envoy was loyal to the imperial court, he turned a blind eye to what he did, and many ambitious magistrates took advantage of the resentment of the people to rebel.

Since the rebellion of Guo Ying in the third year of the calendar, the rebellion of officials in Shuzhong has been intermittent, and has never been quelled, and the current festival makes Cui Ning even more greedy and cruel, extravagant and poor, and forced the wives and daughters of the subordinates, and has been in charge of Xichuan for ten years, and the people's grievances are boiling.

It happened that during this time, Cui Ning entered Beijing to report on his work, and Yang Zilin, the assassin of Luzhou, who had long been suspicious, took advantage of this gap to rebel, he led thousands of troops to Chengdu Mansion to kill, and after taking Zizhou, he immediately killed Jianzhou, Jianzhou assassin Zhang Qiong took the lead in surrendering Yang Zilin, and he coerced Xue Xun to surrender together, but Xue Xun resolutely refused to surrender, so he was imprisoned by Zhang Qiong.

The carriage rushed out of the county seat and traveled several miles along the official road, Guo Song saw a fork in the distance and asked, "Where does that road go?" ”

The coachman said: "That road is to Pingquan County!" ”

"Just take that fork in the road!"

The carriage went down another road, and after walking for more than ten miles, it entered a wooded area and stopped.

Han Shi cried and begged: "Guo Gongzi, please save Tao'er and his father, he is a stubborn temper and will be killed by them." ”

Guo Song saw that Xue Tao also had a pleading look in his eyes, so he nodded, "I'll go and save him!" ”

He turned back to Kang Bao and Xiao Yu Niang and said: "You two are here to protect, don't go out of this forest, the other party should go to Chengdu Mansion in a hurry, and won't come here, as long as you don't go out of the woods, there will be no danger." ”

Kang Bao and Xiao Yu Niang nodded again and again, Guo Song took out Wei Gao's post and handed it to his entourage Zhao Xiudao: "You immediately rush to Chengdu Mansion and tell him about Yang Zilin's rebellion, but remember not to reveal my identity, understand?" ”

Zhao Xiu took the post and urged the horse to go on the road, and Guo Song said to another entourage, Yang Jun: "You go back to the county seat with me!" ”

Guo Song was about to leave, when Xue Tao suddenly stopped him, "Guo Lang, wait a minute!" ”

Guo Song stopped, Xue Tao stepped forward to tidy up his clothes, and said in a low voice: "Be careful yourself, don't take risks!" ”

Guo Song gently held her hand and smiled: "You can rest assured!" ”

Not far away, Han Shi saw this scene, and she couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, "Wronged! ”

Guo Song turned over and got on the horse, waved his hand to Xue Tao, urged the horse to gallop away, Yang Jun also whipped the horse, followed him closely, and after a while, the two came to the city.

Guo Song threw the reins of the horse to Yang Jun, "Just wait here!" ”

He cleaned up a little, gave the bow and arrows to Yang Jun, and quickly climbed the wall with only the black sword on his back, he didn't even need to use a chisel, he directly used the gaps in the city wall to go up the city wall, there were no soldiers on the head of the north city, he directly climbed over the city wall and sneaked into the city.

By this time the two gates had been closed, and the city was in chaos, and the gates and streets were crowded with people fleeing the city.

Guo Song quickly found the state office, the soldiers were concentrated at the two city gates, there was no one near the state office, Guo Song climbed in from the east outer wall, inside was the government room, only to see a government officer with pants out of the thatched house next to him.

The official hummed a small song and shook it step by step, a cold knife was on his neck, and someone said coldly behind him: "Where is Xue Changshi?" ”

The official was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees, and he stammered, "It's just.... In the side yard, the hero spared the villain's life! ”

"Take me there!"

The official walked to the side courtyard trembling with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and then a person ran from the side courtyard and scolded: "You turtle son, if you don't come back for so long, have you fallen into the pit?" ”

When he saw that the servant was being coerced, he screamed in fright, turned and fled, and a cold light shot through, and a throwing knife pierced the back of his neck, and the man fell to the ground.

The official became more and more frightened, his legs trembled, and he couldn't walk, and at this time, Guo Song had already seen a prisoner cart in the side courtyard, and a man in white prison clothes was sitting in the prison cart, and his eyebrows were Xue Xun.

Guo Song knocked the officials unconscious with one punch, and he saw four or five officials with knives next to the prisoner car, and it seemed that they were about to set off.

Guo Song let out a low sigh and rushed over, several officials had already noticed that the situation was different here, and they drew their swords to meet them, the black sword swung over, and several officials screamed and fell.

Xue Xun, who was listlessly lowering his head, slowly raised his head and recognized Guo Song, he was immediately overjoyed, "Guo Xian's nephew, how are Tao'er and them?" ”

What he cares about most now is his wife and daughter.

"They have already left the city, safe and sound, I will save Uncle Shi!"

Guo Song swung his knife to split the cage, cut off the shackles on Xue Xun's hand, and pulled him out of the car, Xue Xun's face suddenly showed a look of pain.

"What's wrong with Uncle Shi?"

Xue Xun sighed, "I was beaten fifty times by them, and I couldn't walk." ”

Guo Song put away the black sword, carried Xue Xun behind him, and ran towards the high wall quickly.

Xue Xun was not tall and relatively thin, Guo Song had no difficulty carrying him, he climbed over the high wall, ran along the path of the house, avoided the soldiers on the street, and ran under the north city wall in a short time.

Xue Xun was taken aback, "Virtuous nephew, how can this get out?" ”

"Uncle Shi grabbed my shoulders!"

Guo Song tied Xue Xun's legs to himself with his belt, and as soon as he jumped up, he climbed up to the city, Xue Xun was frightened and grabbed Guo Song's shoulders tightly.

Only a moment, Guo Song climbed the city wall, he saw that there was no one at the head of the city, so he quickly climbed to the head of the city, ran a few steps, and fell down from the other side, there was still a zhang from the city, Guo Song lightly jumped on the ground with both feet.

At this time, Yang Jun led the horse over, Guo Song asked Yang Jun to take Xue Xun, and the three of them left the city wall and ran towards the woods more than ten miles away.

Running into the woods, Han and Xue Tao greeted him, "Master, Daddy!" The two of them saw Xue Xun's condition clearly, and exclaimed at the same time.

Xue Xun's wound burst out, his pants were full of blood, and he was already in a semi-comatose state.

"Guo Lang, what's wrong with my father?" Xue Tao asked anxiously.

"He was beaten fifty times, so he was quickly put into the carriage and lying on his stomach, and I asked Kang Bao to give him medicine."

Everyone carefully carried Xue Xun into the carriage, Kang Bao was good at healing, he gave Xue Xun medicine, covered him with a quilt, and said to Guo Song: "The fight is not serious, it didn't hurt the muscles and bones, just a flesh injury, just a few days of recuperation." ”

Guo Song groaned and said, "Let's go to Pingquan County!" ”

Pingquan County is eighty miles to the west, and there will be no military disasters there, so everyone guards the carriage along the official road to the west, and from there you can also go to Chengdu Prefecture.

........

Not long after Guo Song left, Yang Zilin's six or seven thousand troops were killed in Yang'an County, and Zhang Qiong, the assassin of Jianzhou, opened the city to welcome the arrival of the army, in fact, Yang Zilin was not an isolated rebellion, including Zhang Qiong, the assassin of Jianzhou, and Li Zhongzhou, the assassin of Zizhou, had conspired with Yang Zilin to overthrow the position of Cui Ning, the envoy of Jiedu.

Yang Zilin is about forty years old, looks very gentle, has fair skin, is tall and thin, although he is a civil official, but he can also lead troops to fight, he saw Zhang Qiong with a group of officials, but he didn't see Changshi Xue Xun, so he asked: "Where is Xue Changshi?" ”

Zhang Qiong didn't dare to tell the other party that Xue Xun had been rescued, and he smiled bitterly and said: "This person doesn't know the current affairs, refuses to have trouble with us, and escaped from the city in the chaos, and is missing." ”

Yang Zilin was a little worried: "He will definitely rush to inform Chengdu, how many soldiers and horses are there in Jianzhou?" ”

"About 3,000 people!"

"Give me 2,000 people, so that Jun Ke can lead 1,000 people to continue to guard Yang'an County, and in addition, prepare some more food."

Yang Zilin only stayed in Yang'an County for one hour, he incorporated 2,000 Jianzhou local troops into his army, bringing his total strength to more than 9,000 people, and replenished food from the official warehouse, so he led the army to continue northward and go straight to Chengdu.
