Shao Jiechun really didn't expect that he would be alive to wait for the reinforcements of the imperial court, and at the beginning he still had a glimmer of hope when he was trapped in Deyang City, because he knew that the imperial court would not sit idly by, and the imperial army would definitely come to suppress the thieves.

However, after being trapped for a few months, he slowly became desperate, because he knew how many homeless, hungry and rogues there were in the entire Bashu, and he also knew how terrifying Zhang Xianzhong would be after seizing the wealth of the Shu Palace.

He really doesn't know if the imperial army can still exterminate the thieves entrenched in Bashu, but he is also the kind of person who will not give up easily, no matter whether the imperial army can enter or not, as the governor of a province, it is impossible for him to be captured in front of the thieves, let alone surrender to the thieves!

Deyang is a relatively wealthy place in the whole Bashu, the people in the city are not poor and can't live, they don't hate the court as much as those displaced and hungry people outside the city, there are many rich families in the city, especially when he led more than 10,000 guards to station, the nearby squires all took food and fled desperately to Deyang City with their belongings, so there is no shortage of food in the city, and there is no shortage of strong men, the only thing lacking is the confidence to unite as one and resist the thieves.

Although Shao Jiechun fell into Zhang Xianzhong's plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain and lost Chengdu, it does not mean that he is a wine bag and rice bag, he is just a moment of negligence, careless loss of Jingzhou, to say that he still has the ability, he is not the kind of corrupt officials, he was honest and honest during his tenure as governor, and he was also quite good to the people, and he was still very prestigious among the people.

On the one hand, he actively persuaded the wealthy families in the city and the squires who fled into the city to donate grain, grass and property, while recruiting young people, training village warriors, strengthening the city defense, and resisting the attack of thieves, Zhang Xianzhong's first few waves of onslaught were actually withstood by him, and the defenders on the city wall did not decrease, but increased to more than 20,000 people.

Zhang Xianzhong was also a little headache by Shao Jiechun, a Deyang city actually made him lose tens of thousands of horses, and the defenders in the city fought more and more, and the stronger they became, and if they fought again, he would be a little stupid, so he finally chose to besiege, the food in the city was eaten up, and it was naturally chaotic.

He thought so, but unfortunately, he didn't survive until the food in the city ran out, and the officers and soldiers came over.

When Zhang Bin led the army to Deyang City, the entire Deyang City was boiling, especially those squires and rich households, many of them were excited and tearful, because they knew that they would die in the hands of thieves.

At this time, Shao Jiechun was not too excited, nor was he too excited, because he had already committed a capital crime, even if he was in the hands of an immortal thief, he would be arrested and executed by the imperial court.

Now that everyone is saved, he can finally suffer death with peace of mind.

When the imperial army arrived, he changed his military uniform, put on his official robe, and led a group of officials and squire representatives to wait outside the east gate of Deyang City. ”

As soon as he said this, not only Zhang Bin was stunned, but all the officials and squire representatives were stunned.

It seems that the governor has really committed a capital crime!

However, those officials and squire representatives were only stunned for a moment, and before Zhang Bin could recover his skills, someone took the lead and shouted: "Lord Shoufu, please forgive Lord Shao, don't kill Lord Shao, Lord Shao is a good person!" ”

This person took the lead, and the whole scene instantly got out of control, and all the officials, squires, wealthy households, guards, village warriors, and ordinary people in Deyang City who were present knelt on the ground and shouted:

"Lord Shoufu, please spare Lord Shao!"

"Lord Shoufu, Lord Shao is really a good person!"

"Lord Shoufu, please don't kill Lord Shao!"

......

In this meeting, not only Shao Jiechun was stunned, but Zhang Bin was also a little confused.

Can this sin of losing Chengdu be forgiven?

Can this lead to the death of the king of Shu be forgiven?

At this moment, Zhang Bin is really contradictory, according to the usual practice, the governor of a province lost the provincial capital, and it also caused the royal prince to be killed by thieves, it is really a crime that deserves death, but this Shao Jiechun He also ordered someone to check, he is indeed honest as an official, and he is also very rigorous in doing things, and he can defend Deyang City surrounded by thieves and without any reinforcements, which proves that his ability is also quite strong.

Besides, he knew that he was going to die, and he tried his best to lead everyone to stick to Deyang City for so long, which can definitely be regarded as a loyalty for the country and the people.

This sin of losing Chengdu can find a way for him to atone for his sins, as long as he brings Chengdu City back, he is saying something good, it is not difficult to forgive this sin, the problem is that this led to the death of the royal prince at the hands of thieves, it is a heinous crime, unforgivable!

This kind of loyalty, there are really not many years in these years, is it really for those relatives of the emperor who live by sucking the blood and sweat of the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty to kill such a loyal man for the country and the people?

To tell the truth, Zhang Bin really doesn't want to kill such a loyal person in vain, but he also doesn't want to break the rules, without the rules, the world will not be chaotic, and any crime can be forgiven, doesn't that encourage people to commit any crime!

He urgently needed to think in his mind, can such a heinous crime be forgiven, is there a precedent?

Thinking about it, he really came up with a precedent that was not a precedent.

In history, Yang Sichang only relied on his enthusiasm and blind command, which led to the fall of Luoyang and Xiangyang one after another, King Fu and King Xiang died at the hands of thieves one after another, Chongzhen did not mention to punish him, and after he died, Chongzhen did not allow the ministers to "slander" him!

Chongzhen, since you have done it, I have done it, and you can forgive traitors and vain ministers, can't I forgive the loyalty and kindness of the country and the people!

Thinking of this, Zhang Bin directly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward to help Shao Jiechun, and said with relief: "Lord Shao can lead the crowd to resist the thieves for so long, and keep the people of Deyang City, even if it is atonement, don't mention the past, this Sichuan governor has nothing to forgive, now, you are still the governor of Sichuan." ”

When Shao Jiechun heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he thought he was dead, but he didn't expect Lord Shoufu to say this, can the heinous crime of causing the royal prince to die at the hands of thieves also be atonemented?

He was stunned, but the officials and squires around him shouted excitedly.

"Shousuke-sama is wise!"

"Thank you, Lord Shousuke!"
