The candle flame flickered, Ding Yi flipped through the resume of this thousand households, this person is the henchman of the political envoy, it turned out to be a fame in the border town, as the ambassador of the Chengdu Bureau said, not greedy for money and lustful, it is difficult to pile up any charges. It is precisely because of this that when the political envoy of Sichuan took office, he specially transferred this person to guard the throat of this Tibetan region.

"This surnamed Shi, the regular army below is also very loyal to him, except for the tap from the upper peak, he has never done anything from the salaries of those military households." The ambassador of the Chengdu Bureau said to Ding Yi on the side, "I have never called the military household as a slave, so it is impossible to bypass him and connect with the hundred households below." ”

Ding nodded, threw the file on the table, rubbed his brows and said, "Shi Jianfei, I remember that I seem to have seen him." After all, a thousand households, for Ding Yi, the distance is really too far, he thought for a while and didn't remember where he had seen this person.

It wasn't until he picked up the resume again and flipped through it and saw the words "Iron Gate" that Ding Yi remembered.

That's right, it was this Shi Jianfei, when the sun rose at the Iron Gate, it was this Shi Jianfei who was the guard on the Ren Pass.

At present, he has been promoted to the commander, but the actual position is still the Qianhu Office in Lingya Prefecture.

"This man is loyal, but a little bit of a way." Ding Yi frowned, and said to Cao Jixiang, "You go and walk around with the mine supervisors and tax supervisors in Chengdu Fucheng, and see if there is any way for them to organize some people and transport some grain and grass up, otherwise." How to hold on? ”

"Young master," Cao Jixiang wanted to open his mouth to persuade again, but looked at Ding Yi. When the words came to his lips, he sighed again, nodded and said, "The old slave obeys." "If it weren't for following Ding Yi to the sea, watching Ding Yi crisscross the seven seas, maybe Cao someone would have thought about how to sell Ding Yi for a good price at this time.

However, he followed Ding Yi to kill crocodiles in the rainforest. In Mugudu, he attacked and killed the city lord, established the concession, and then went to the Suez ship cannon to break the city, Ceuta City, Portugal's land cession, and the indemnity payment of the United Fleet countries. Cao Jixiang was reluctant to betray Ding Yi, it was not that he became loyal, the country was easy to change, and his nature was difficult to change. He just thinks. Is Ding Rongcheng really defeated like this? He decided to take another look, he was used to following Ding Yi, from impossible situations to win one victory, and then to another.

Ding Yi watched Cao Jixiang take the order and left, and asked the ambassador of the Chengdu Bureau: "Do you have any familiar people among the guards of Chengdu Fucheng?" If we quietly get a convoy out of town at night, is it possible? Money is not an issue. As long as you can find a way, how much money will it cost. You can take the slip and go to the Ding family's shop to get it. ”

Without food and grass, everything is fake. The most urgent task at the moment is to solve the problem of grain and grass.

The ambassador of the Chengdu Bureau smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, even if Chengdu Fucheng can go out, Yazhou Qianhu has built a new pass, and there is no customs clearance paperwork, where is it stuck, isn't it the same?" The Ding family's shop also wanted to transport grain last time, but now there are tens of thousands of catties of rice and noodles, piled up in the warehouse in Yazhou, and they can't get out! ”

"You contact the Fucheng side, and I'll find a way to find a way on the Yazhou side, and the problems must be solved one by one." This is Ding Yi's excellence, not that he is particularly able to fight, not that he has knowledge beyond the times, but calm, no matter how impossible the task is, he has set the goal, in the face of difficulties, he can not let his confidence melt, he will refine the problem, little by little to solve it, to change it, to complete it.

"Yes, sir!" The ambassador of the Chengdu Bureau, under Ding Yi's words, also rekindled a little confidence, "The disciple has been stationed in Chengdu for so many years, but he still has some contacts with the lower-level officials in the city. Now the disciples are contacting them to see if they can find any solution. ”

But the problem is often not confident, can be solved, in Chengdu for two days, still no improvement, the only gain, is stationed at the west gate of Chengdu guards, promised that if it is a thousand catties of grain and grass, less than ten people, he dares to secretly let go.

Thousands of catties, that is, ten loads of rice, but just ten people can carry it. The problem is ten quintals of rice, for the first division of the Ming Dynasty with more than 20,000 people, not to mention that the porter on the road has to eat, even if there is no loss at all, it is only less than one person and a half or two, what can it do?

On the morning of the third day, the ambassador of the Chengdu branch came early in the morning to ask to see Ding Yi: "Sir! Yazhou thousand households, there is a small flag is our eyeliner, he said that last night the third watch began, a large number of remnants of the army poured into the pass, in the morning when he changed the watch, he looked, said that the flag is still there, is the brother of the first division of the Ming Dynasty, it is said that one by one is the same as the disaster year called Huazi, looking at any time to become a road down, but the flag is still there. ”

The flag is still falling, but it is crippled but not broken.

"Lao Cao, you lead two special brigades and follow him to the west of the city to find a place to lurk." Ding Yi said to Cao Jixiang, and then said to the ambassador of the Chengdu Bureau, "If you hear the sound of explosions in the direction of Yazhou, or if there are soldiers and civilians who come to report that Yazhou is turning over in Long, then needless to say, it is said that the door will not be opened, but it can only be exploded. If I can switch the pass along the way, I will send a flare, understand? ”

"Understood!"

Ding Yi went to Yazhou with only Wen Fatzi and four or five other soldiers, carrying heavy backpacks, and came to this pass.

Shi Jianfei stood at the head of the wall, waiting for Ding Yi, he knew that Ding Yi would come, because Ding Yi's affairs in Chengdu, everyone who should know actually knew it.

"Open the door." Fat Man Wen took off his rifle and aimed at Shi Jianfei at the head of the city, "The fat man won't talk to you, and he will collapse you if he doesn't open the door." ”

Shi Jianfei didn't panic too much: "Kill me, the door won't open, as long as there is a brother from the Yazhou Thousand Households on this pass, this gate won't open." As the ambassador of the Chengdu Bureau said, Shi Jianfei has a very good prestige in the Thousand Households.

Ding Yi stretched out his hand and pressed down the muzzle of Wen Fatzi's gun, and said to Shi Jianfei, "Do you recognize me?" ”

"The villain has seen Mr.!" Shi Jianfei respectfully saluted Ding and his entourage.

"You've done this once at the Iron Gate, and you'll never be able to put your conscience to yourself. Blame it on the person who gave the order, even if you know it's a ridiculous order! Ding Yi stood under the pass, and the halberd pointed at Shi Jianfei. There was no extreme anger on his face, just a deep sadness.

Shi Jianfei didn't dare to look at Ding Yi, he hung his head and muttered: "Sir, the villain is just a small person, a small person, not a big hero like you, the villain, the villain only knows how to be honest and erranded, and the villain is only to give the peak bad rules." I haven't tried the hard-earned money of my brothers below......"

"Shut up." Ding Yi put down his hand, he didn't want to talk to these thousand households anymore.

Wen Fatzi led several soldiers to run under the pass, and they took off the sapper shovel on the waist. Four or five mortar shells were piled up around them, and it was obvious that they were going to make a blast under the pass and blow the newly renovated wall.

"Sir! You can't! Shi Jianfei looked at the battlements. Although I don't know what they are going to do. But they generally knew that they were going to attack the wall, so they couldn't help shouting at Ding Yi, "Sir, even if you dig up this wall, there will be Chengdu Mansion ahead!" ”

In this era, the big cities all had city walls, and the bigger the city, the more complete the city defense.

Shi Jianfei said. It is to blow up the pass guarded by thousands of households in Yazhou, how to get the tall city wall of Chengdu Mansion?

"They're my soldiers." Ding Yi was calm. He had been preparing for the worst, "You can excuse yourself for many reasons, and I don't blame you." But if I can't save my soldiers, I'm okay, to die with them; I couldn't save this Huaxia, at least, I tried. What about you? In the midnight dream in the future, I think you have a lot of excuses to excuse yourself. ”

Die together, a super-grade national duke, and the low-status soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will die together.

Shi Jianfei was stunned, but he knew that what Ding Yi said was the truth, when the explosion sounded here, the four doors of Chengdu Mansion would definitely be closed, so even if Ding Yi received the wounded soldiers outside the pass to come in, all he could do was to be trapped and die outside Chengdu Mansion together.

He looked at the dying soldiers in the pass, and then looked at Ding Yi who stood there unwaveringly in the pass.

"General, this Mr. Rongcheng is bluffing!" The soldiers next to Shi Jianfei said in a low voice, he is a distant relative of Shi Jianfei, and he is also clever, he has been with Shi Jianfei for more than half a year, and he is quite proficient in military affairs, "Such a big official, and the soldiers outside died together?" Are we stupid? ”

Shi Jianfei shook his head with a wry smile and said to the pro-soldier, "Open the door." ”

"What?" The soldiers looked at their thousands of households in disbelief, and when the chief of the political envoy came to give the order, he was Shi Jianfei's cronies, but he heard it really on the side, "General, isn't this a bad thing for those big masters, once the blame is made, how can you afford to be guilty?" ”

"Open the door."

The pro-soldier pulled Shi Jianfei's sleeve, and he didn't call the general anymore: "Third uncle!" It's the door that opened, and the Chengdu Mansion ......"

"In front of these big people, I'm just an ant-like character. What's going on in the future is not something I can do. ”

"He's really going to die with these soldiers, and when I was at the Iron Gate, he just left the gate."

"I've never heard of food and armor for so many years, this super master, can't save his own soldiers, and is willing to die with them, have you heard?"

"Open the door."

Ding Yi looked at the slowly opening city gate, and shook Shi Jianfei on the city: "Ding owes the general a favor." ”

"Sir, villains are not here to earn your favor." Shi Jianfei didn't dare to accept Ding Yi's salute, and knelt down in the city to return the salute, but replied like this, "No matter how much favor you have, you don't have a life." Saying that, he smiled miserably, pulled out his waist knife, and said to Ding, "Sir, Shi's family, I also ask Mr. to be considerate." He ordered the door to be opened, and he had already made up his mind.

Shi Jianfei knew very well that he had to die, although he didn't want to die at all, but if he didn't die, maybe the clan punishment was a certain ending, and he could only end himself as an explanation to those big people.

But at this time, he heard Ding Yi under the city say to him: "Shi Qianhu, if I can take care of your family, I can take care of you; If I can't take care of you, I can't take care of your family. (To be continued......)
