When thousands of heavily armed and wolf-like soldiers rush into an undefended city, it is a disaster, and the city happens to be very rich, and the disaster can develop into a catastrophe!

This is the case in Chengdu City at present, although the Shaocheng City in the west has become rioty because of the spread of fire, but because of the city wall, the riot has not spread to Taicheng.

Especially in the large area south of the state capital, because the defenders of the city had told the people to stay at home and wait for the Wei army to surrender, the streets were also deserted and there were few pedestrians.

The noise of people and horses gradually came from the streets, and the people who stayed behind couldn't help but become panicked, but most of them still remembered the orders of the government and stayed in their homes honestly, not daring to go out to watch the movement.

Of course, there were also people who couldn't hold back, quietly slipped out of the house, looked into the streets, and then saw many soldiers in military uniforms and iron armor, with swords and lances, rushing towards it.

"Rao ......"

Before the word "life" could be spoken, the cold light had already arrived, and the body of the probe looker trembled, and the head, throat, or chest and abdomen had been pierced by the blade, and blood gushed out, and he fell to the ground with convulsions.

"Quickly drive the people of this city out of the house, and strictly check the portal for traces of the rebels!"

These Western Wei soldiers who entered the city did not know what the rebellious army looked like and how large it was, but it did not prevent them from carrying out the process of action after entering the city.

All the people in the middle of the house were expelled from the house, and whether they were men, women, or children, if they moved slowly or resisted a little, they were slashed head-on. Those who witnessed the tragedy on the left inevitably ran in fear, and then inevitably fell under the sword and spear.

Armed with sharp weapons and murderous intent, it was inevitable to kill in the troubled times, and the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty were by no means more noble than Hou Jing's rebellious army or the Jiangling people. In particular, there are many people from Liufang who were the hegemons of Gyeonggi when they were in Chang'an and are accustomed to doing evil, so when these people enter the city, they will be killed everywhere they go!

"Spare your life, spare your life! The general will take all the property in the household, and only ask for mercy ......"

There were panicked owners of the household, holding iron coins, silk silks, or any other valuable items in their hands, kneeling on the ground and offering them, just to exchange them for the lives of the family.

The wind slammed and slashed down, and the blood in the neck cavity gushed like a pillar, but the face of the head that rolled to the ground still maintained that sad and pleading expression. When the other relatives in the household saw this scene, they immediately let out a terrible roar, and then their fate was no different.

"If I kill you, where will the money go?"

Wei Zu looked at the goods spilled out of his master's arms, and suddenly smiled, while lowering his head to collect the spilled goods, he said a few witty words to the headless corpse, feeling the spirit of the whole person from the inside out.

Such killings occurred everywhere in the city, and in addition to looting property, many hidden knives, guns, bows and crossbows were indeed found in the homes of people.

Whether it is for self-protection or preparing to make trouble, this is undoubtedly a criminal evidence, but the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty naturally have no time to carefully screen and judge, and the most convenient and quick way is to kill all Ding Zhuang who found the surrounding area of the ordnance.

As more and more people were driven into the streets, the chaos in the city increased.

"These Qiang thieves should be really ruthless! It's ridiculous that those stupid people can only surrender to save themselves, and they are stupid and stupid! ”

Xiao Yuanzheng led hundreds of party members from Shaocheng into Taicheng, and the people who fled here were urged by the fire to flee here, and their group was not inconspicuous in the crowd of people.

When he heard the sound of fighting from all sides of the city, he couldn't help but say hatefully, in addition to panicking, he also had a sense of detachment that had already seen through everything, and he didn't think that if he hadn't caused trouble in the city, this killing would not happen. On the contrary, in his opinion, these ignorant city citizens are also innocent.

Because the fire first broke out in the western city, the Wei army also took this as the target after entering the city, but it was delayed for part of the time because of the looting along the way, so that Xiao Yuanzheng and his party could flow into Taicheng again.

They were also forced to do so, and Xiao Yuanzheng's original plan was to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the gate of Shaocheng, and then flow to the mountains and wilderness to the west. But because he passed by a warehouse in Chengdu County on the way, he saw that there were not many guards there and they were all flustered, and the murderers behind him captured the warehouse in line with the principle that thieves do not go empty.

The warehouse is not big, and most of the items are ordinary sundries, and the only valuable thing is the frosting candy that is stacked in the innermost part and has hundreds of catties. These frosted candies are encapsulated in large and small clay pots, and when the lacquer is opened, a sweet smell comes to the face.

Although the frosted sugar has been spread to Shu for a while, even the more inferior stone honey is expensive, and these more precious frosted sugars have not been popularized among the people, and they are all monopolized and hoarded by the dignitaries in the city.

The subordinates didn't know the value of the frost candy, but they were all attracted by the sweet and white frost crystal, and each held a jar and refused to let go.

Xiao Yuanzheng knew that the value of frosting sugar was even higher than the current price of gold of the same weight, and he wanted to fight elsewhere and win over his troops to fight against the Wei army, and it was precisely this kind of expensive and easy-to-carry materials that he needed to maintain consumption, so he also made up his mind.

Although the hundreds of catties of frosting sugar in the county warehouse are also worth a lot, they are still not enough to satisfy Xiao Yuanzheng's appetite. He knew that there were more stores in the Jinguan City in the south of the city, at least a few thousand catties of reserves. With him, these party members can carry it only by manpower and do not affect the operation, but with the value of this thing, they can exchange for a large amount of materials.

So he gave up running out of the city from Shaocheng, but ventured back to Taicheng and went out of the city from the south of the city, and went to Jinguancheng to carry and transfer these precious materials, leaving no trace for the Wei army!

The wealthy families of the scholars in the city of Chengdu greatly delayed the progress of the Wei army to search the city, and the south of the city was the farthest gate from the Wei army's camp.

Although Xiao Yuanzheng and the others experienced some twists and turns, they finally rushed out of the city mixed with a group of people, crossed the Jinjiang River in the south of the city, and then went straight to Jinguan City.

As the name suggests, Jinguancheng is the city that manages the brocade, and the whole city is a large weaving workshop, managing a series of matters such as the production, storage and sales of Shu brocade.

Shu brocade is the pillar industry in Shu, Jinguan City has therefore become a symbol of wealth, this city alone has thousands of brocade households, is the largest brocade workshop in the whole Shu. Even the river outside the city that is used for raccoon yarn is called Geumgang.

It is precisely because of the extraordinary significance of Jinguan City that it has a complete set of independent city defense system. When the Wei army invaded, Jinguan City was sealed off from the inside, and the food and drink needed by the people of the city were hoisted in hanging baskets.

Even at the most difficult moment in the city, Xiao Yu tried his best to meet the material supply of Jinguan City. Because of these weavers and brocade workers living in Jinguan City, each of them is a valuable asset. It is not easy to cultivate, and if it is consumed and damaged in the war, it will be very difficult to restore the scale.

Therefore, the current Jinguan City can be said to be the last piece of pure land in the left area, and some weavers in the city do not even know the news of the Wei army's attack on Chengdu.

Xiao Yuanzheng knew that he was afraid that he was already on the wanted list of the Wei army at this time, so in order to avoid revealing his whereabouts, he also instructed his subordinates not to call his name easily, and only to be the governor of the city, so as not to be hunted down and killed by the Wei army when he found out where he was.

There were also some fleeing Chengdu citizens gathered under Jinguan City, wailing and begging the Jinguan City Guards to open the city gate and let them in to avoid trouble.

But not to mention that the gate of Jinguan City has long been stuffed with earth, mountains, wood and stones from the inside, even if it is still unimpeded, when they perceive the chaos in Chengdu City in the north, the soldiers guarding the city do not dare to open the door without permission to put people in. Those who were guilty of these people's crying and pleading were directly thrown down earth and rocks to drive them away, and they were not allowed to gather again and perch under the city walls.

When Xiao Yuanzheng and the others came here, they didn't get too much preferential treatment. However, seeing that they were all wearing guard uniforms, the city was quite polite, and they did not directly throw stones to drive them away.

"The Qiang thieves are slaughtering in the city, and a certain one is ordered by Xiao to come to reinforce the Jinguan city defense, and quickly put down the hanging basket!"

Since he came here, Xiao Yuanzheng also had his own ideas, he searched between the palace and the state capital before, although he did not find the tokens and other documents, but he found many records of the military and political orders of the state government, including a warrant for the reinforcement of Jinguan City.

The order was issued in May, and Xiao Yuanzheng deliberately crumpled the paper in his arms and tore out important dates, names and other information, leaving only the main body of the book and the seal. After all, a group of them went out of the city to help when the Wei army slaughtered the city, and it was very reasonable for the order to be slightly destroyed in a hurry.

The soldiers defending the city were also panicked at this time, and after putting down the hanging basket to collect the book order and checking it slightly, they put down a larger hanging basket and pulled people up the city wall, after all, at this critical moment, one more person also has more strength.

More than ten hanging baskets were hung at the same time, and Xiao Yuanzheng was also hung on the city in the middle of the group. He originally prepared a set of rhetoric to cover up his identity, but found that the soldiers here didn't know him, the second son of Xiao Ji, at all, and while saving trouble, he also felt indignant in his heart.

"No, they are not officers and soldiers in the city, they are thieves who steal brocade!"

Suddenly, someone on the other side of the city exclaimed, pointing to a scar-faced strong man standing in the hanging basket and looking up, and shouted: "The scar on the face of this dog thief was cut by me with my own hands, and I was just escorted to the county prison before!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and the defenders at the head of the city panicked, and each drew their swords to cut at these people who had just climbed the city: "The thief slave is so daring, he dares to defraud and seize the city!" ”

"Stop! Lonely is the ...... of Xiyang"

Xiao Yuanzheng saw that the situation was not good, he could no longer care about concealing his identity, and was busy shouting out his identity, but a knife came out from under the ribs behind him, and blood gushed up in the broken organs, and the blood foam that spurted out drowned out all his words.
