After closing Zhang Yong's case, Yue Su led the escort army to Mianzhu Pass the next day. Originally, he wanted to wait for Qin Liangyu, the chief soldier who came from Chongqing Mansion, and the two of them led the troops together, but Lord Yue had only been in Chengdu for two days, so he was a little restless and focused on the battle situation. So, he couldn't wait any longer, so he simply went first. I think I will be able to boost my morale if I go by myself.

The soldiers and horses left Chengdu, and the governor Zhu Xieyuan personally saw them off. Chengdu is one hundred and fifty miles away from Mianzhu Pass, because the Shu road is difficult to travel, this one hundred and fifty miles is a modern straight line, in the Ming Dynasty, there is a detour.

The rapid march marched sixty miles in one day and arrived at Pengzhou. After resting in Pengzhou for the night and continuing to hurry, Yue Su and they marched at dawn, and at noon, they had walked nearly forty miles, and the soldiers and horses were advancing, and suddenly there were more than a dozen horsemen in front of them. The speed of these dozen horsemen was extremely fast, the road in the middle of the river was not wide, and Yue Su's men and horses almost occupied the entire road.

The closer the two sides go, they can gradually see clearly the clothes on the people. More than a dozen people on the horse, all dressed as officers and soldiers, and the people who came on the opposite side had also seen the banner of Lord Yue, when the distance could be more than 20 steps, all the people who came jumped off their horses, and a soldier ran towards Yue Su quickly, shouting while running, "But the big handsome man is here in person......

Yue Su rode a horse and walked in the front, followed by Jiang Jie, Jin Chan, Yin Zhu, Tie Qiu, Li Haoquan, and Huzi, while Tong Zhou stayed in Xingyuan. Hearing the other party's voice, Jin Chan said loudly: "It's Yue Shuai here!" ”

The soldier ran forward two more steps, then fell directly to his knees and said loudly: "The villain is on the orders of General Li. When I went back to Chengdu to report the news, I didn't want to meet the handsome here. The big thing ahead is not good, Mianzhu Pass has been lost, please make a decision! ”

"What?" As soon as he heard this, Yue Suden was stunned. Mianzhu Pass is known as the dangerous pass in Sichuan, and it is impossible to open it when a husband is a pass, how can it be lost so easily. It's only been a few days.

Yue Su beat his spirit and asked loudly, "How could Mianzhu Pass be lost?" ”

"The villain doesn't know, I waited until I arrived in Shifang County last night, and left early this morning, preparing to rush to Mianzhuguan, not wanting to just walk out of ten miles. When he met the officers and soldiers who had retreated from Mianzhu Pass, General Li knew that the stakes were very high. So send me back at once. It is estimated that now, General Li is leading people to retreat here. The soldier said.

"This ...... Bastard......." Yue Su gritted his teeth and scolded fiercely. But at this juncture, he doesn't know what to do.

It was Jiang Jie, who hurriedly said: "Dashuai, Mianzhuguan missed, we need to make a countermeasure in advance." Shifang is nothing more than a county seat. It is expected that it will be difficult to resist the rogues, and the marshal will not be able to move on. The subordinates thought that they should return to Pengzhou first, and then make plans. ”

"Why retreat. It's just right that the rogue came, and the master's big knife is lonely. When Huzi heard this, he followed the urn and said angrily.

Of course, Yue Su would not have such thoughts as Huzi, hundreds of thousands, even if he was troubled and old, the young Ding Zhuang also had 108,000 people, and he had these few people in his hands. What to resist, the tiger is fierce. It's impossible to kill tens of thousands of people. Yue Su nodded and said, "What Mr. said is good. Shifang County is difficult to resist, and the people's hearts are already in place, so they should retreat quickly and be ready to meet the enemy. Jin Chan, you send a few henchmen to rush back to Chengdu immediately, report to Lord Zhu, tell him that Mianzhu Pass has been lost, prepare for defense, and try to recruit manpower. ”

"Yes, sir." Jin Chan agreed, arranged people immediately, and hurried back to Chengdu.

And Yue Su can't wait here, the back team becomes the front team, the front team changes to the back team, and returns to Pengzhou.

Pengzhou is only a state city under the Chengdu Prefecture, the city wall is not high, and the defense ability is not very strong, so it is impossible to defend it at all. It can be said that as long as the bamboo is broken, it will not take much effort to hit the city of Chengdu.

Yue Su has a bottom in his heart, there are 1,000 people under his command, in Pengzhou City, the garrison soldiers and horses have been transferred, and the soldiers who can fight, but a thousand people, plus the point on hand, guarding in the city with no defense power is no different from looking for death, and it is also a waste of combat power.

When retreating, the soldiers were obviously in a hurry, and their steps were very fast, and they walked out of the road from dawn to noon, and before dusk, they came out. After the troops entered the city, Yue Su came to Zhizhou, told him about the loss of Mianzhu Pass, and ordered the people of the city to evacuate as soon as possible.

Lord Yue understood that telling the news to the people would definitely cause panic in the city, and the people would flee in flocks. But if you don't tell them, once the rogues come, these people will have no choice but to go to the rogues.

Sure enough, when the order was handed down, the people's hearts were great, and the people packed up their things in a panic and fled outside the city with their families. Lord Yue is standing at the north gate, which is the gateway to pass through from Mianzhu here, standing on the top of the city tower, holding a telescope in his hand, he can see everything outside the city, and he can also see everything in the city when he turns around.

The people were displaced, Yue Su was sad, he was the governor of Sichuan, these people were all under his rule, and this flight did not know how much harm would be caused to these people.

As the time passed slowly, the night gradually darkened, the officers and soldiers buried the pot to cook, rushed the day's road, the soldiers were tired and hungry, after eating, only thought about the beautiful sleep. But Lord Yue's only ate a small bowl of rice, and he really didn't have much appetite.

He ate on the tower, and when he had eaten, he did not go down to the city, but sat on the city. Pengzhou Zhizhou sat on the side of Yue Su, and when he saw that Yue Su did not go down to the city to rest, he said carefully: "My lord, it's not too early, you should also rest, your body is important." ”

He is not kind, he really wants to leave, his family is still in the city, the people are flocking to retreat, even if he doesn't flee first, stay next to Lord Yue, his family will have to escape, if he doesn't leave, once the rebels come, how can he go.

"Mianzhu Pass is the gateway to Chengdu, and now it is lost, so how can this governor still sleep. You are also a family person, and your family members should evacuate quickly, but after all, you are an official of the imperial court, and you should set an example for the people. Don't worry, there are so many rogues. It won't be called so soon. Yue Su directly saw through his thoughts, and replied in lukewarm words.

"What the adults are talking about is ......" Zhizhou replied, and he didn't dare to say more.

"You've been busy with Ben Du for a day, so go home and rest first, and comfort your family. Tell them not to panic, the rogues won't be so quick to call. Even if they call now, there will still be Bendu's people on their back. Yue Su said.

"Yes, yes...... Lord Xie, then the official will retire first......" Seeing that Yue Su asked him to go, Zhizhou was amnesty, nodded and went down to the city tower.

Yue Su continued to sit on the city. He's waiting. Li Haoran hasn't come back yet, so he has to wait for him to come back. Let's withdraw together. Besides, Lord Yue also wanted to know how the Mianzhu Pass was lost, and what ability the Liukou had to take the dangerous pass in the middle of the river in such a short period of time. If you have any sharp weapons, you should take precautions as soon as possible.

It's November. Even though the climate in Sichuan has always been warm, the nights are very cool during this season. And Lord Yue just lit a fire in the city and put on a cotton coat. It hasn't gone down.

If he doesn't go down to the city, Jin Chan and the others will naturally not go down, and they will all rest in the city. At the time of the third watch, the soldiers guarding the city suddenly saw the light of torches not far away, and it seemed that someone was rushing towards this side, but the number was not very large.

"My lord, there are people in the city." One of the guards shouted.

Yue Su never fell asleep. Just leaned quietly and listened to this. He immediately stood up and looked down at the city. Sure enough, a group of people rushed this way. Looking at the number of people, it is not particularly said, it is estimated that there can be about 100 people.

After a while, when these people arrived in the city, Yue Suye had already seen clearly that these people were wearing the uniforms of officers and soldiers. As he followed, he heard someone shouting from under the city: "Open the gates of the city!" ”

"Who are you?" One of the soldiers in the city shouted.

"We are the protector of the Governor Yue, and we have a great order here!" The people in the city shouted.

As soon as he heard this, Yue Su's spirit was shocked, and he shouted: "This governor is here, where is Li Haoran?" ”

"Handsome! The end will be here! Immediately after, Li Haoran's voice sounded under the city.

"Haoran!" Yue Su immediately heard the voice and ordered, "Open the city gate quickly!" ”

The city gate opened, and the officers and soldiers below quickly entered the city, and soon worked hard, Li Haoran climbed the city tower and came to Yue Su's side.

"See Dashuai, I don't know Dashuai, why are you here?" Li Haoran said in wonder.

"The governor was also worried about Mianzhuguan, so he wanted to come over early, but he didn't expect that he was still a step too late. What the hell is going on, how did Mianzhuguan get lost? Yue Su expressed the doubts in his heart.

"The specific situation, the last general is not particularly clear, but on the road encountered the defeated soldiers who retreated from Mianzhu Pass, listen to what they say. Hearing that it was the Liukou digging tunnels and sneaking into Mianzhu Pass from underground, the general soldier Liu Wushou heard that the Liukou had entered the city, so he immediately fled, and the officers and soldiers saw that the commander had fled, so they had no intention of resisting and fled in a swarm. That's why the rogue can easily take the pass. ”

"What! Darn! Rubbish! Knowing the reason for the loss of the dangerous pass, Yue Su was angry and scolded, the two armies were fighting, and the most taboo master would flee first. Once the main general escapes, the morale of the army will immediately fall into a trough, and it will give the soldiers the idea that you are all running here, and you still want us to play with our lives, isn't that a dream?

After scolding, Yue Su asked sharply, "Where is that Liu Wushou now?" ”

"The last general withdrew all the way, and did not meet General Liu, thinking that our marching speed was too fast. But it was expected that it would not be long before Mr. Liu retreated here. Li Haoran replied.

"That's fine! Ben Governor is waiting for him here! Yue Su said hatefully.

Liu Wushou, the brother-in-law of Luo Yang, the commander of Jinyiwei. Originally, the deputy general of Dengzhou was vacant, and Liu Wushou saw that Shandong was relatively peaceful, so he asked his brother-in-law to come out and wanted to keep himself on an errand for the deputy general of Dengzhou.

There is a Luo raised a horse, and this kind of thing is not easy to catch, and the fold is handed over, and it is quickly criticized. When Liu Wushou got the news, he was naturally very happy, and he just thought about going to Dengzhou, being majestic and majestic, and getting another vote.

But who would have thought that this luck seemed to be too good, the Sichuan general soldier was killed, and the position of the general soldier was not vacant, the queen mother remembered this old brother and promoted him to the position of the Sichuan general soldier, especially when the rogue had already hit Sichuan.

got his will to be promoted again, Liu Wushou almost cried excitedly, but this is not happy excitement, then regret. He immediately found his brother-in-law Luo Yang, hoping not to do the errand of the chief soldier and not go to Sichuan to take office.

But where did Luo Yang agree, and finally worked hard to get you an errand, if you don't go, how will I face the Queen Mother in the future, what will the Queen Mother think. If you go to Dengzhou as a deputy general, you will go, and if you go to Sichuan to be the former enemy as a general soldier, you don't want to go, the imperial court is opened by your family. If you don't want to go, you have to go.

Seeing that there was really no way out, Liu Wushou had no choice but to rush to Sichuan to take office, and when he arrived, Mianyang had already fallen, and the liukou were in Mianzhuguan. He is the chief soldier of Sichuan, and of course Zhu Xieyuan wants him to go to the town to guard the dangerous pass.

Liu Wushou was unwilling, but after all, he was the chief soldier of Sichuan, and it was really unreasonable not to go, so he had to grit his teeth and accept it. If he doesn't go, the generals who guard Mianzhu Pass will be quite stable, and they won't leak, and the Liukou won't be able to attack no matter how they attack. When he went, he saw the dense army of rogues under the city, his eyes spoke, his head was confused, and he almost fainted with fright.

In the past few days, although the Liukou attacked fiercely, but the high walls of Mianzhu Pass City were thick, and the Liukou did not have any good siege equipment, at most, they relied on the cloud ladder to rush up, can this be attacked, and they were knocked down in one place, leaving countless corpses.

Seeing that there was no danger, Liu Wushou's courage became stronger, and he began to go to the city to point fingers, put on a posture of the highest commander, and commanded the battle. It's just that the city is sticking to it, but it's not a fool to command, in general, it's not too much of a problem, be careful, and the rogue can't fly over.

It's just that he didn't expect that Liukou would come up with a way to dig tunnels. This trick is not uncommon in siege warfare, and it is not a strange move, as long as you pay attention to it, once you find that it is wrong, you can blow it up, and it will be fine.

But Liu Wushou didn't have this idea at all, and the general came to remind him to prevent the rogues from using this trick, and he didn't take it seriously, and refuted the people, saying that the rogues had this command, a group of rabble, besides, it's winter now, the soil is hard, and if you want to dig a tunnel, how can it be so easy. Moreover, the foundation of such a dangerous city wall as Mianzhu Pass is very deep, and it is impossible to dig it over.

This place in Sichuan, unlike the north, is located in a basin, and in winter, it is not particularly cold, and the soil will not freeze. The Liukou really dug the tunnel, dug through the Mianzhu Pass from below, and the rebels poured in at night, but the tunnel entrance was limited after all, and it was impossible to kill them all at once, as long as they resisted desperately, recaptured the tunnel entrance, and suppressed the enemy, it was still too late.

It's a pity that as soon as Liu Wushou heard that the rebels had entered the customs, he was frightened, and he still had the heart to think of countermeasures, and his first reaction was to escape. With his cannon, the soldiers guarding the pass were not allowed to run with him, so the Mianzhu Pass, a dangerous pass in the middle of the river, fell.

Liu Wushou is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is lazy to eat. After escaping from Mianzhu Pass, he ran for more than 30 miles in one go, choking on horseback. Turning his head and seeing that the enemy was not chasing, this kid slowed down, so he didn't meet Li Haoran on the road.

But he also knew that the enemy army was behind, he couldn't run too slowly, and he didn't dare to sleep, so he took the cronies and soldiers around him, stopped and stopped, and finally rushed to Pengzhou after escaping for a day and two nights. In terms of time, it was less than three hours later than Li Haoran.

I would like to thank Brother Xiaofei for rewarding Xiaoyi as soon as he came back. I would also like to thank the other book friends who have rewarded and voted for Xiao Tsubasa's works and kept supporting Xiao Tsubasa's works. Xiao Yi is here, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
