Chengdu is located in the Sichuan Basin, known as the "Land of Abundance", has been a prosperous metropolis since ancient times, and is famous for its Shu brocade. During the period of the Three Kingdoms, Shu brocade became an important source of financial revenue to support the Shu Han regime, and the imperial court set up brocade officials to protect the brocade industry, so the "Jinguan City" was named.

At the time of Meng Chun, the area around Chengdu should be a good scene of flowers. But because of the invasion of war, now it is another tragic scene. Black smoke swirls over nearby villages, evidence of arson after the rebels ransacked it. Large tracts of farmland are barren because they are left untended; Even the hibiscus that was planted all over the city was trampled to pieces by the rebels.

Only the city of Chengdu was temporarily spared because of its tall and strong walls. At the top of the city, a female general in military uniform, over fifty years old, with black hair mixed with silver threads, held the battlement with her hand, looked at the rebel camp several miles away for a long time, and finally couldn't help but sigh.

She is the famous Shi Yan Xuanfu envoy, the second rank of the lady, and the loyal marquis Qin Liangyu. Her husband's surname is Ma, and like Hao Chongming, An Bangyan and others, he is also the head of the Tusi in Sichuan, and has been appointed as a Xuanfu envoy for generations.

But unlike Yongning, Shuixi and other toasts, Shiyan toasts have always been loyal to the imperial court. Since the beginning of the Wanli period, the Tusi in various places have frequently rebelled, and each time the Shiqi Tusi obeyed the dispatch of the military department and sent troops to help the officers and soldiers to quell the rebellion.

Although Qin Liangyu is a woman and her ancestors are also Han Chinese, after the stone stone took root, she has intermarried with the local Yi, Miao, Tujia and other ethnic minorities for a long time, and has the blood of ethnic minorities. She also obviously has the characteristics of ethnic minority women, with a resolute and resolute personality, excellent martial arts, and skillful bows and horses, which is completely different from the officials and dependents in the mainland in this era.

After her husband died, because her son was too young to inherit the official title, Qin Liangyu became the new Shi Yan Xuanfu envoy. At the end of Wanli, Liaodong was tight, and she also enlisted to lead the army to the king, which greatly moved the emperor and crowned him as a loyal marquis, which was famous at home for a while.

This time, Yu Chongming and An Bangyan joined forces to rebel, and they also wanted to win over Qin Liangyu to raise troops with them. As a result, Qin Liangyu was furious, beheaded the envoy, and immediately notified the governor of Sichuan. It's a pity that the local officials and troops were too weak, and they almost gave up Chongqing and other places without resistance, and they didn't dare to go out even a step in Chengdu. Extravagant Chongming threatened Chengdu inch by inch, and Qin Liangyu saw that the official army could not count on it at all, so he had to afford the "white pole soldiers" under his command to fight against the rebels.

However, her troops were too small, and after the first battle was unfavorable, she had to retreat to Chengdu, relying on the strong city walls to resist the rebels. The rebels launched two large-scale siege battles, both of which were repulsed by the White Pole Soldiers, but the White Pole Soldiers also suffered heavy losses and lost the ability to break through.

Seeing that Chengdu was in a difficult situation, the rebels changed their strategy and began to encircle but not fight, trying to trap the defenders alive. Now Chengdu has been besieged for two months, completely cut off from the outside world, and the rations of the soldiers and civilians in the city are becoming more and more tight. Seeing that the army was running out of food, Qin Liangyu had no choice but to borrow food from Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, who lived in Chengdu, but was categorically rejected by the king of Shu. Today, I saw the rebels looting everywhere at the head of the city, and the people nearby were miserable, and they couldn't do anything, so they were depressed, so they sighed for a long time.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" A silver bell-like voice sounded in Qin Liangyu's ears. Qin Liangyu suddenly looked up and saw a girl who was also dressed in a heroic posture, but her face was still childish, and she blinked a pair of big eyes that could talk, looking at her without worry.

"Oh, nothing. Qianxue, the rebels are still the same today as before, it seems that they will not attack the city, so you better go down to the city and rest. Qin Liangyu said lovingly to this beautiful girl.

This girl is none other than Qin Liangyu's eldest daughter Ma Qianxue, who is only seventeen years old this year. Seeing that her mother was full of concerns, Ma Qianxue also said angrily: "My daughter knows why her mother is worried. Our white pole soldiers fought bloodily for the imperial court, and so many brothers were killed and wounded, and his mother refused to borrow a little food from the king of Shu, which is really unusual! Didn't he know that we were defending Chengdu? If it weren't for us, the rebels would have come in, and his head would have hung on the head of Chengdu! ”

"Shut up!" Qin Liangyu hurriedly glared at her daughter sternly and said, "Girl, what are you talking nonsense!" Chengdu is not the private property of the King of Shu, we are not only defending the King of Shu, but also defending thousands of people in the city! Shouldn't we shed blood and die to protect the people? Besides, the military rations have not yet reached the point of exhaustion, and we can still hold on. The imperial court will definitely send troops to support us. ”

Ma Qianxue was taught a lesson by her mother, and she was so frightened that she stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to make a sound. But after a while, she still couldn't help complaining: "Reinforcements, reinforcements, we have been looking forward to it for more than a month, where are the reinforcements?" And if it was the officers and soldiers of other guards in Sichuan, it would be useless to come, and the rebels would be frightened when they screamed. Could it be that the emperor only cares about beating the Tartars of Liaodong and forgets us? ”

"No, it won't." Qin Liangyu said thoughtfully, "I heard that although the current saint is young, he has great talents, and he eradicated the eunuch Wei Zhongxian with a thunderous force as soon as he ascended the throne, which is the proof. According to Wei Niang's guess, the Holy Lord must have sent troops to rescue us, but the road is far away, and it has not yet arrived. Therefore, we must brace our spirits, and as soon as reinforcements arrive, we will come together to break the encirclement of the rebels in one fell swoop. ”

The mother and daughter were talking, but they saw shouts of killing behind the rebel camp in the east. Ma Qianxue looked at it, and immediately lifted her spirits, and shouted happily: "Mother, look, the reinforcements are really coming, and they are fighting with the rebels!" Let's take this opportunity and kill them right away! ”

The white-pole soldiers at the head of the city also looked in that direction, all of them were enthusiastic and ready to go. Qin Liangyu looked at it carefully for a while, but he was disappointed and said, "There are only more than 100 riders!" Using such a small number of troops against the rebels' 30,000 army is really a drop in the bucket. I don't think they will be able to break through the encirclement, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out! Pass on my order, no one is allowed to go out of the city to meet the enemy without authorization, otherwise military law will be involved! ”

Ma Qianxue took a closer look, and as her mother said, she couldn't help but be very discouraged and pursed her mouth depressedly.

But after a while, Qin Liangyu said in a deep voice: "No! ”

"What's wrong?" Ma Qianxue said suspiciously, "Isn't it just a small group of officers and soldiers?" ”

"Look at it!" Qin Liangyu pointed to the battlefield in the distance and said, "We all know very well that the officers and soldiers will only charge indiscriminately, and they will scatter and flee if they encounter a slight setback." But look at this team, they are not in a hurry to charge, they are just firing arrows at the rebels from a distance. As soon as the rebels moved, they retreated, but they did not rout, and the formation remained very good. Qianxue, you have the best eyesight, help Weiniang see what banner they are fighting? ”

Ma Qianxue stared at it with wide eyes for a long time, but shook her head hesitantly and said, "They didn't play any banners!" But I can see clearly, the general in command is the one who is at the forefront and wears a white robe! ”
