The continuous Qishan Mountains start from Guanghan County, traverse the north and south, connect the east and west, stretch for hundreds of miles, and finally after entering the territory of Guanghan County, even if it comes to an end, here is the so-called Sichuan Basin in later generations, Mianzhu, just in the center of this plain, Miancheng is undoubtedly a good place between the Mianhe River and the Tuojiang River, where the four seasons are distinct, the rain is abundant, the land is fertile, and there are the benefits of the mountains and rivers, it is a well-deserved land of fish and rice, it usually comes to spring, in the fields outside the city, There will be countless busy figures working, and even the mountain in the east of the city, on the Huge Mountain, which is famous for a big battle some time ago, will also have a busy scene.

But after the beginning of spring this year, the fields are very depressed, the farmers who work in the fields are much less than before, and the only remaining fruits are also a little absent-minded, from time to time they will look up and look around a few times, if there is any wind and grass, it will be like a frightened little beast, and hide in the depths of the grass and trees at once, this is the helplessness of the creatures in the troubled times, Mianzhu, the land of fish and rice, in addition to the rich land, is also a strategic place connecting the north and south. Although the chaos in the world since the first year of Zhongping has not had much impact on Yizhou, with the drastic changes in the situation, Yizhou still cannot be left alone after all.

Since the beginning of last year, the war that has been burning all over the country has finally burned to this paradise, although the people of Yizhou have not experienced too much suffering from war, the refugees from the south to the north have brought a lot of information, so that they have to be nervous, in fact, ordinary people do not know very well who the enemy is, where it comes from, the current situation in Yizhou is extremely chaotic, many forces are intertwined, even the officials who preside over the military and government, can not accurately judge the changes in the relationship between friends and foes. Not to mention ordinary people? For example, the previous assassin was defeated by the person named Liu Yan, and later Liu Yan fought with Shilin in the state, but this time it was different than before, they all knew that the name of the person who fought Yizhou this time was called Lu Bu, the prince who defeated Zhang Lu last year, and the reason why they were nervous. It's just that the defenders of the city are in a posture like a great enemy.

"Tun Chief, are we really going to lose? I heard that General Zhang Ren's troops were defeated in the Sword Pavilion, General Liu Bi was killed in battle, and General Leng Bao was also defeated in Feixian Pass, General Deng Xian was also killed in the battle, and the four generals of Xichuan were already half dead, not to mention those middle and upper-level generals, such as General Huang Quan and General Yang Huai! The defenders who were on guard listened to the shouts of killing from the direction of Fuling, and a handsome soldier was asking his commander. Leng Bao led the army to retreat, and finally rushed to the important town of Fuling before the Xiliang Army, after Fuling is Mianzhu, and after Mianzhu is Chengdu, that is to say, as long as Leng Bao can't hold Fuling, Mianzhu will be under the city, they are county soldiers. It's not as good as those standing sergeants, who usually bully and bully the people. It is already very good to clear and suppress the bandits, if it is with Lu Bu's Xiliang Army tent, it will undoubtedly hit the stone with an egg, and use the mantis arm as a car, which is simply self-defeating.

"The king has a life, and those who are courtiers have to listen. What is there to talk about? Stand guard honestly, don't make noise here, and mess with our army's heart! "The image of the man who is called the tun chief is quite terrifying, and half of his face is pitted. If you bump into it in the middle of the night, you will be mistaken for an evil ghost. Such a face, no matter how strict it is, is naturally very scary, in fact, he is also very worried about this problem, after all, there is an eighty-year-old mother in the family who is waiting to feed her son, if he dies in battle, the old mother in the family will have no one to support.

The mouthy soldier shrank his neck in fright, slipped aside, and when he saw the officer walking away, the soldier snorted coldly, and exchanged words with the others: "Isn't it just a tun chief?" What's there to be angry about? Just this small broken official the size of a sesame mung bean, you have to change your face, change me, give it to me, I don't want it, return the king, the minister, which monarch will take care of such an inconspicuous courtier? ”

"Forget it, it's not that you don't know, the tun chief is this temper. If it weren't for his temper, it would have been based on his achievements over the years. Why can't you get a captain? You haven't seen even a mountain bandit like Zhang Duwei ......."

"That's right, Zhang Duwei doesn't seem to have done anything except for his work, why did he rise so fast? Although the tun chief has a bad temper, the credit is real, isn't that face burned by the thieves when he followed the ancestor to conquer Dongzhou Shilin and attacked Wuyang City? That's a pre-emptive achievement! After so many years, he is actually just a tun chief, this reward and punishment is really ......"

The other person became nervous and shouted in a low voice: "Okay, Li Erdan, you dare to say this?" Don't you know that this is the rule of the dynasty? Murder and arson gold belt! If you can't get justice from those thieves, you can only recruit Anbei, otherwise what else can you do? ”

Li Erdan said disapprerovingly: "If you want me to say, the affairs of the Han Dynasty have been ruined by these celebrities." Without waiting for the other party to answer, he suddenly lowered his voice and said in a dumb voice: "I heard that there was a coup d'état in Chengdu some time ago, and the person who took the lead was Dongzhou Shilin, hehe, if you want me to say, if the lord can liquidate those scribes, remove the Shilin children who remain in the army, and replace them with those generals with military merits, then whether the Xiliang army can fight is another matter!" ”

His words immediately caused everyone to sigh, and one of the older soldiers retorted: "What you said is only a small part, you look at the two generals Zhang Ren and Leng Bao, they are not only Shilin disciples, but also have outstanding merits, what is the result, it is not defeated by the Xiliang army, in the final analysis, there is still no one to advise them Moreover, there is a man named Jia Xu in the Xiliang army, who uses soldiers like a god and has not tasted defeat, and that Fa Zheng, who burned to death 100,000 troops in the battle of Hanzhong!" ”

Looking at the terrifying look on everyone's faces, the old elder was very satisfied with the effect of what he said, and then continued: "The reason why we are so defeated, in the final analysis, is that the lord will not know people well, so Li Yan, Pang Shanming, Liu Min, and Zhou Budo are not great talents, but unfortunately they are walking now, hidden and hidden, even if they are in Chengdu, they will not be reused!" ”

Li Erdan sighed: "Brother Zhang is similar to what I said, they both think that the lord will not know how to make good use of people, but the elder brother is talking about strategists, and the younger brother is talking about generals!" ”

The old pawn looked in the direction of Fucheng and muttered to himself: "With the defeat of General Zhang Ren and General Leng Bao, the war finally burned here, and Wenhou's 200,000 troops are about to come to the city, and this place will be scorched at that time!" ”

An ordinary sergeant hurried forward. Asked the old pawn: "Brother Zhang, then do you say that the lord is defeated or fleeing?" ”

The old pawn grinned, revealing the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes: "Whether it is defeat, battle or surrender, we are just chess pieces, chess pieces of those big families fighting, such as the Mianzhu we are stationing." It belongs to the royal family's sphere of influence......"

In the whispering, many secret things were exposed by the old soldiers, and the soldiers were only dumbfounded, like falling into a dream, because the shock was too big and too frequent, no one could think about it for a while, after the shock, what filled everyone's hearts was anger, Li Erdan and Brother Zhang said well. Those high-ranking celebrities really didn't take the fire seriously, and for the sake of the future of their respective families, they wanted to deeply retreat everyone to death.

Who doesn't know how powerful the Xiliang army is, Zhang Lu is powerful, the two lords of their own family don't know how much effort they spent to take back Hanzhong, then Lu Bu only took less than two months to pocket Hanzhong, and now the 200,000 Xiliang army is attacking Fucheng and wants to go south to Mianzhu. That is, in two or three days, with four or five thousand men in the city. It's strange to be able to compete with others, just such a little capital, those celebrities and gentlemen want to turn Wen Hou away, this is blatant to cut off everyone's way of life, but they don't surrender when they can surrender. Do you have to wait until they die before surrendering?

"Fuck, whoever wants to fight with Wen Hou will go by himself, Lao Tzu won't go!"

"I don't want to go, but what if I don't want to? That General Mengda was on Wen Hou's side. In the end, it was not dead, but the one who died was miserable, not only chopped the body into pulp, but it is said that the head was still hanging on the head of Chengdu City! ”

"Not only that, but it also involves his people, and even his family in Fufeng has been sent by the lord to ......," said a thin and sturdy soldier secretly, holding the spear in his arms and wiping his neck with one free hand.

"Lao Tzu doesn't care, if Wen Houbing comes to the city, I will change the flag!" Li Erdan said indifferently.

Brother Zhang hurriedly covered his mouth, glared at him and scolded, "You don't want to fucking die!" ”

But with the incitement, and then the leader, the herd mentality unfolded in this way, and the soldiers began to shout with righteous indignation, as if they had been greatly wronged, and they were justified.

"We have no problem, but it may not be on the Tun Chief's side, besides, General Leng Bao is defeated and will inevitably retreat to Mianzhu, let's not think about it!" After shouting for a while, someone suddenly saw the tun chief who had returned from patrolling the city wall, and raised his doubts quite worriedly.

As soon as they heard this, everyone frowned, if Leng Bao was really defeated and retreated to Mianzhu, with him sitting in Mianzhu, the chance of success would be greatly reduced, and the head of the king, the minister, looked like a donkey with a bent head, and it was even more difficult to convince him than to ascend to the sky.

"Or kill him?" Li Erdan said in a low voice.

As soon as his words fell, he was slapped on the head by Brother Zhang, and scolded in a low voice: "If you dare to do this, I won't spare you!" ”

The tun chief's surname is Huang, with a single name and a business character, and he is a veteran from the army, and he has great prestige among the county soldiers. The soldiers respect him, on the one hand, because he is old, and more importantly, everyone usually receives his favor, Brother Zhang was saved by him on the battlefield, when he attacked Wuyang City, he took the lead on the ladder, the defenders of the city poured gold juice, and he was blocked by his shield and body, and the soldiers who followed him at that time were equal to being saved by him, and there are many such cases, in the previous battles in Yizhou, he has appeared, in addition, he has adopted many orphans of the war dead, I have helped many colleagues who retired due to injuries and so on, such a person. Although the official position is not high, his prestige among the county soldiers is higher than that of most captains, even if the soldiers are dissatisfied, if Chen Tunchang insists, no one can raise a knife against him and mutiny, so when Brother Zhang heard that Li Erdan was going to kill Tunchang, he was so angry that the three corpses jumped violently, and slapped him in the head.

"I'm not going to just talk about it!" Seeing this, Li Erdan straightened the rattan helmet on his head, muttered, and at the same time began to worry in his heart, he was not an ordinary county soldier, but a secret agent arranged by Jia Xu in Yizhou, in the past, his task was very easy, that is, to hear and see every day, as an intelligence transmission meeting Xiliang, and raise troops for a thousand days, with soldiers for a while, this time Wenhou's army went south, and the work of Yizhou was almost at the end of the stage, he and many people like him, began to be active, in order to ensure that Wenhou could successfully capture Yizhou, Some time ago, he was very worried, and he heard that those brothers in Chengdu had been uprooted, so he was also doubly careful not to show flaws.

Li Erdan is responsible for the smooth opening of the north city gate, everything is going well, just send the stone of Huang Ye to block the way, he has no good way to this block stone, and everyone muttered for a while, he found a reason to leave the city gate, went to the south of the city, turned a few small streets and alleys, and crossed a few ditches, he arrived in front of a small courtyard, knocked on the door, three long and two short, the door was opened from the inside, the two sides looked at each other, confirmed each other's identities, Li Erdan flashed in.

"Why are you here at this time? Now the rumors in the city are very tight, and the news from the sergeant's side can't be heard, and it will be a big trouble if it is exposed. The doorkeeper grumbled in a low voice.

"Do you think I think? Isn't there no choice but to ask for help? Li Erdan spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Still can't deal with the yellow donkey?"

"No!" Li Erdan pursed his lips and said depressedly: "This person is soft and hard, and he is alone, without any concern, there is no gap to take advantage of, he wants to open the city gate, but he can't get around him, what do you say I should do?" The only way now is to get Zhang Wei's warrant and show it to the gatekeeper, and it will definitely be fine......"

The person who opened the door showed a thoughtful look and replied casually: "Kill him"

"The prestige is too high, killing him will not only not cause a mutiny, but will hate us, which is not advisable!" Li Erdan flatly refused.

"This is trouble......" The person who opened the door shook his head, his expression suddenly froze, and he made up his mind: "Okay, let's take a risk, if the lord arrives in the city, the city gate is not opened, and there is even a conflict, then the trouble will be big!" ”

Li Erdan was taken aback, that Zhang Wei is the head of the mountain bandits, he is very shrewd, but whenever there is a stir, he doesn't frown when he kills, if he takes the risk to go, will there be a lot of trouble.

Listening to Li Erdan's doubts, the person who opened the door gave him a reassuring smile: "Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, everything is under my control!" (To be continued.) )
