The underground chamber is completely an underground base, after entering the iron gate is the guard area, in front of which are two movable iron fences, which are filled with barbs, and after entering is the warehouse area, and the warehouse area is surrounded by rooms, with four rooms on each side.

The village chief led Jiang Sheng into the Dongjia room, which was two suites, which at first glance were the residences of the key people, and the rest of the bedrooms were all bunked, divided into men's and women's rooms, and the southeast corner room was a thatched house, which was divided into two small rooms, marked with men and women respectively, and the village chief explained that the thatched pit had been dug a channel to lead the water from the underground river to wash away the manure and flow directly to the tributaries of Weishui.
Jiang Sheng asked, "So, can you get out from here in Maokeng?" ”
The village chief said: "Taiwei is really a person who understands, please see-" The village chief shook the two handles by the door, only to hear the sound of "squeaking" from the two thatched houses, and after opening the doors of the two thatched houses for men and women, he saw that the walls behind them were turned over, revealing two holes.
The village chief said: "After entering these two entrances, they are in the same passage, and the bottom is the fecal passage, and people walk from above. ”
"Where does this lead?"
"A cave in the dense forest deep in the mountains to the southeast."
"Who designed it? What a masterpiece! ”
"Taiwei praises this place so much, the old man is ashamed to be ashamed!"
"Huh? You designed and built this? Jiang Sheng didn't expect the unattractive village chief to be so creative.
"The old man is not talented, so that the captain can see it."
"I don't know your name?"
"Don't dare, the old man Zhang Shu, originally from Nanyang, later moved here."
"I wonder why the old man came here?" Jiang Sheng admired Zhang Shu's exquisite design, and his language became respectful.
"Zhen Ye originally used this place as a place for the caravan to rest, my four sons were all in the caravan, and the family was old, so he simply moved here, and he could see his son at least a few times a year.
"I don't know what the old uncle does?"
"The old great-ancestor is Zhang Heng, the secretary of this dynasty."
"Zhang Heng? Is it Zhang Heng who created the wind and ground motion instrument?
"It's the old great-ancestor!"
Jiang Sheng was inexplicably excited, he didn't expect to meet top talents in this mountain wilderness, Zhang Heng's great-grandson, and his talent was not much worse, so he said: "I have to punish Zhen Yan when I go back, the old man is such a talent, how can he destroy the heavens?" Jizhou is waiting to be lifted, I don't know if the old man is willing to contribute to Jizhou? ”
"The old man is so loving, but he is just a man in the mountains and wilderness, and he doesn't dare to go out."
"As long as you want, you can be a scholar, just teach your disciples, and you don't have to abide by the rules of officialdom."
"That old man can only reply to the captain after he has made Zhen Ye."
"Oh, no need, I'll just tell him."
"Old man, thank you, Captain!" Zhang Shu bowed, and the matter was settled.
Jiang Sheng visited the whole basement again, the two rooms in the middle of the north are the kitchen and the dining room, the fine candles used in the basement emit a very small amount of smoke and dust when burning, and under the good ventilation design of the basement, it is almost negligible, of course, the cost is also very high.
That night, Jiang Sheng and Diao Chan rested in the secret room, and the four hairpins took turns guarding the iron gate at the entrance of the basement.
Early the next morning, Xu Yu'e delivered news from the palace that Emperor Xian had come forward to stabilize the situation, and after Situ Wang Yun killed himself, Li Dao sent an army to punish his three clans to avenge Dong Zhuo. Emperor Xian rewarded Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, etc., worshiping Li Dao as General Yangwu, Guo Bi as General Yanglie, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Wang Fang and others as Zhonglang generals.
After the fall of Dong Zhuo, the talents of the central government withered, Situ Wang Yun committed suicide, Taiwei Jiang Sheng fled, and the government fell into a state of no one's attention.
Cai Yong once sighed because of Dong Zhuo's death, which led to his imprisonment, so while Li Yong hated Wang Yun, he had a warm attitude towards Cai Yong, and Cai Yong was reinstated and continued his work of revising history.
Li Tong led the more than 30 people to transform into the clothes of ordinary people, sneaked into Chang'an City from the secret passage, secretly contacted the soldiers of the Northern and Southern Army who were hiding in many locations in the city, and then left Chang'an City through the secret passage, and found that there were only 17 of the original 3,000 Northern Army soldiers left, but there were more than 400 volunteers who were willing to join Jiang Sheng's command.
After the Xiliang army entered the city, it was found that the people of Chang'an formed a volunteer army to assist in defending the city, which caused heavy losses to the Xiliang army, so Li Dao ordered the whole city to search and arrest, and all the people who participated in the defense of the city were slaughtered, the houses were burned down, and half of the officials in the court and China were robbed of their homes by the Xiliang army.
For a time, chickens and dogs jumped in Chang'an City, bloody rain and bloody wind, and the people of Chang'an were slaughtered in addition to those who died in battle while defending the city.
Xu Yu'e revealed the atrocities of the Xiliang Army to Emperor Xian, and Emperor Xian said helplessly: "I can protect myself, how can I take care of thousands of people?" ”
In fact, Emperor Xian also regretted it, Jiang Sheng had persuaded him many times to give up Chang'an and return to Luoyang, but he didn't listen at all, it's better now, continue to be his puppet emperor.
Compared with the bad news in Chang'an, the news that Zhen Yan brought back was a great joy, and the Baling County Order welcomed Jiang Sheng to settle in Baling.
After Li Tong led the army to arrive, he escorted Jiang Sheng to Baling County, Zhen Yan sent people into the city to spread the news, and Baling County ordered to take all his subordinates out of the city to greet him.
Outside the city gate, Baling County Ling was dumbfounded, the dignified captain only brought a team of less than five hundred people!
When he saw Jiang Sheng, the county magistrate was very embarrassed, and he exchanged a few words of polite greetings, no matter what, Jiang Sheng was still a lieutenant after all, and the necessary etiquette was still necessary.
After the group entered the city, the county ordered a banquet for Jiang Sheng and others to wash the dust, Jiang Sheng politely declined, and the negative emotions brought by the break of Chang'an City shrouded everyone, and it was really not suitable for a banquet.
The prefectural magistrate also expressed his understanding, so he simply bought lunch. After eating, Jiang Sheng and the others entered the military camp in the city accompanied by the county order, and the strength of the military camp was only about 2,000.
"I heard that there were more than 3,000 troops in the city, why are there only 2,000 now?" Jiang Sheng asked.
"Back to the captain's words, the Xiliang thief army came to attack in a big way, and some timid and afraid soldiers sneaked away." The prefectural order's answer was straightforward.
"It shouldn't be a problem for 3,000 people to defend such a fortified city with high walls and sufficient food, right?"
"Xiliang is known as a 100,000 army, don't look at this small county, at least 10,000 defenders! Otherwise, it will simply not be kept. The county lieutenant said.
Jiang Sheng's face sank, and he said, "How is the scale of Chang'an City compared to your tomb?" ”
