Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, this sentence means to provide for and train the army in peacetime, so that at the critical moment to use the army to fight, for this reason, the common people pay food and taxes to serve in the conscription, in order to become the country's barrier and the people's protector when there is danger.

It's a pity that the people of Sichuan didn't see this.

Not to mention that the mud riots were first, so that the people of Sichuan suffered a catastrophe, and then the thirteen families of the Yellow Dynasty continued to plague the people, and the actions of the government were criticized, when the rampant wolves, the stars and others led more than 100,000 people into Sichuan, the people of Sichuan were even more offended, and the double scourge of the Righteous Army and the Thirteen Yellow Families was even worse in the disaster year, and the more than 100,000 righteous troops were like a huge and ferocious beast, biting the people of Sichuan all over the body.

However, the officers and soldiers who let the people regard them as protectors were either defeated again and again or retreated again and again, and those righteous armies were like breaking the momentum, first capturing Kuizhou Mansion, then Shunqing Mansion, Chongqing Mansion, Tongchuan Mansion, Xuzhou Mansion, Wumeng Mansion, etc., fell one after another, and in less than a month, the rebel army swept through most of Sichuan, and gradually encircled Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan.

The people were angry, they paid grain and taxes for servitude, but the government allowed them to be plundered by the rebels; The squires were furious, for most of their possessions were related to the place where they lived, and were the focus of looting, and they were the group that suffered the most; Even the soldiers were angry, they were not soldiers who were about to collapse, although many soldiers were greedy for life and afraid of death, but that did not mean all, there were also many hot-blooded men, seeing outsiders wreaking havoc in their hometowns, seeing the villagers suffering, they wanted to take up arms to teach those mobs a lesson, but the officials strictly ordered them not to act rashly.

Guo Biao is a depressed hot-blooded man.

Twenty-eight-year-old Guo Biao is five big and three thick, with a tiger's back and a dragon's waist, and he is a hundred households in Mahu Mansion, and he has good governance. He won the trust of his superiors and the love of his soldiers, but Guo Biao was not happy, or rather, he was furious.

"My lord" Guo Biao angrily rushed into the room of Liu Han, the head of a thousand households, and shouted loudly.

"What kind of system is it that shouts and screams?" Liu Han's face changed and reprimanded loudly.

Guo Biao took out a warrant and asked with a puzzled expression: "My lord, you gave this warrant for retreat?" ”

"That's right, since I received a warrant. Why don't you get it back? ”

Guo Biao knelt down all of a sudden, and said with a sad face: "My lord, this time I got the information, it was the sweeping king who attacked us, the number of people is only more than 5,000, more than 5,000, that is a rabble, although our number is small, but it is more than enough to deal with these rabble." When we retreat without firing a shot or an arrow, is this not leaving the people to their scourge? Do we still have the face to see the folks? Besides, we have the responsibility to defend the land, and we leave casually, just afraid that we will be held accountable afterwards. ”

If you haven't beaten yet, you will retreat. This is not Guo Biao's style, and Guo Biao is also a hot-blooded man, and when he recalls the scene in the morning, his eyes are red for a while.

The mob has not yet arrived. However, the local squires, landlords, and common people knelt in hundreds of households, dragging their children and daughters. The crying shook the sky, all crying to ask Guo Biao not to abandon the people, because many officers and soldiers of the guard station retreated before fighting, and directly left the people to the mob, and those people were afraid that Guo Baihu would also lead the army to escape, so they knelt down in front of the Baihu to petition.

Guo Biao really had no intention of running away, he repeatedly promised the people that he would never run away, and that he would be the protector of the people and live and die with the people, but this side has not yet been pacified, and the warrant for retreat has come down, which makes Guo Biao feel like slapping himself in the face, and in a fit of anger, he rode a fast horse to find Shangguan Liu Han in person.

For him, he would rather die than be charged with running away.

Liu Han sighed and said: "If you want to withdraw, you will withdraw, I will bear the accident, you just need to obey the military order." ”

"No, don't retreat, as soon as we leave, what will the villagers do, my lord, my subordinates are willing to defend to the death and fight to the death with the thieves." Guo Biao said resolutely.

"Bastard, the military order is like a mountain, how can you let you do whatever you want" Liu Han said angrily: "Guo Biao, you go back to gather the team immediately and march to Chengdu." ”

"My lord, if you don't explain it, your subordinates won't retreat."

Liu Han said angrily: "Don't retreat? If you dare not retreat, I will cut you down immediately. ”

Guo Biao straightened his head and said stubbornly: "My lord, then you cut down your subordinates, I, Guo Biao, would rather die in battle than leave my position, and the rabble of thousands of people is also so frightened that the wolf bèi fled, it is better to kill me." ”

If it were someone else, Liu Han might be angry on the spot, whether it was his favorite and most loyal subordinate, or a very individual subordinate, he could only sigh, and after retiring his subordinates, he whispered: "Okay, do you want to know what's going on?" ”

"Yes!" Guo Biao said without hesitation.

"Okay, then the official told you that this order was actually the idea of the commander."

Guo Biao was stunned all of a sudden, and said in disbelief: "No, it's not, it's not that according to legend, Lord Guo has been"

"That's a biography, not a fact" Liu Han said with some excitement: "I received a handwritten letter from the commander, he is in the next big game of chess, aiming to wipe out those thieves and bandits, once and for all, specifically, lure the enemy deep, with Chengdu Mansion as the center, with the strong city wall of Chengdu City as a barrier, lead those thieves to besiege, and then Lord Han will appear and lead troops to surround them, then we will attack on both sides, hehe, then we can wipe them out, even the Thirteen Shake Yellow Families that have plagued us for many years will also be taken in one fell swoop, This is a great credit, and after the fact, a splash of wealth will not be able to run. ”

"My lord, do you mean that Commander Guo did not die, but has been hiding behind to command the overall situation?"

Liu Han raised the letter in his hand and said: "Of course, if I die, how can I receive his handwritten letter, which still has his private seal, it can't be wrong, tsk, my lord is really generous, and then we can be promoted and make a fortune." ”

In addition to the bandit leader has a large reward, even ordinary people are also considered military merits, as many heads as there are military merits, those bandits have more than 100,000, they are fighting while coercing the people, but they are afraid that the scale will be larger, there are more people and those merits, and when it comes to troubled times, who doesn't want to grab more silver, wait for the mob to grab it and then grab it, this is a profitable business.

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates understand." Guo Biao nodded hurriedly.

"Do you understand or not? It's too late. ”

"Yes, sir."

There were many generals like Guo Biao, whether they were voluntary or not, they all gathered in Chengdu one by one, but they did not receive the order to retreat, and they were also defeated under the outnumbered and isolated, without the protection of the garrison, they fell faster, and in early November, the righteous army led by Mantianxing joined forces with the Thirteen Shakers of Huang and divided into ten roads to besiege Chengdu City.

Soldiers are coming to the city.

On November 11, the eight major tribes led by the starry sky and the rampant wolf and the thirteen families of Shaking Huang gathered in the Niubi Mountain north of Rong County to discuss the plan, and finally decided to form an alliance to capture the Chengdu Mansion and divide and rule, and the first to enter Chengdu and capture the King of Shu as the leader of the alliance, can be sacked in Chengdu Mansion alone for three days as a reward, as soon as the agreement is reached, everyone is like fighting chicken blood, desperately attacking Chengdu City, and the defenders are willing to give up lightly, one by one desperately kill the enemy.

In November, it was the cold winter season, but Chengdu City was a killing sound, blood flowing, nearly 300,000 bandits and about 100,000 soldiers and civilians fought on the city wall of Chengdu City, among which the rampant wolf, Mantianxing and others were responsible for the main attack, and the Shake Huang Thirteen first participated in the siege, but then the Long'an Mansion and Baoning Mansion, which had not yet fallen, successively sent troops to Chengdu Mansion to rescue, under the "arrangement" of Man Tianxing and others, the Shake Huang Thirteen was responsible for intercepting these troops who tried to reinforce.

Chengdu Mansion rich businessmen gathered, Shu King Zhu to Peng rich and noble world, those righteous soldiers were as red as rabbits, desperately urging their subordinates to attack, that is really fighting, the knife is deadly, the arrow pierces the heart, and Zhang Rui led the Shake Huang Thirteen and Lu Haoshan from Lizhou Wei when the battle, the scene is like a united family, not only did not sacrifice their lives to fight, but a little sympathetic, because they were their own people, pretending to kill for a while every day, and then set fire to the mountain to cover people's eyes and ears.

Man Tianxing and the others fought to the death in front, but Zhang Rui, who went to resist the enemy, came to Lu Haoshan's camp and drank wine with Lu Haoshan. (To be continued......)
