Lizhou capital city, choke into the throat of Shu, built according to the river, lead the river water as a trench, is the key pass in Shu, the Qin army into Shu, invincible, so that the Shu army frightened, following the fall of Xixian County, Lizhou Jiedu made Wen Tao lead Lizhou civil and military surrender without a fight, this famous city in Shu also fell into the hands of the Qin army.

At the end of the second year of Jingxing, the situation in Shuzhong changed abruptly, Jianmen Xiongguan changed hands again, and the whole Lizhou also thieves rose, and soon the beacon fire was everywhere, at the beginning, Bai Xishang, the general of the Qin army who stayed in Lizhou, sent troops to suppress the bandits, but when the situation changed greatly, the bandits or ambush, or raided, after the Qin army damaged the Japanese people, they could only shrink the Lizhou Qin army in the Lizhou capital city, and no longer dared to go out of the city.

But this is not counting, Shuzhong surrendered to the original Lizhou assassin Shi Zhou Yichen led the crowd to suddenly attack, the Qin army was caught off guard, after a fierce battle, as soon as it was said that the rebel enemy was annihilated, the Qin army, which was not much, was also killed and wounded, and the leading general Bai Xi was more taken by the assassins, and it was difficult to recover from serious injuries, and he died in Lizhou a few days later.

If it weren't for the Qin army's transfer of Qi Ziping to Lizhou on a business trip, it would have happened to be at the meeting, and the Lizhou defenders, who had gone through several chaos and lost their main general, were estimated to be about to collapse and lose themselves without a fight, but with this old man from Jingwangfu sitting in Lizhou, the situation was finally stabilized.

However, then the bandits under the city of Lizhou gathered, only half a month's work, the city of Lizhou has been besieged by a flood, the road is cut off, there is no news, the messenger for help sent a few batches, all trapped in the chaos of the army, unable to break through, Qi Ziping can't, so he has to restrain the army, defend the lonely city, and then it is a long battle of defense.

Under the scorching sun, the tall body of Lizhou City is still standing, not even much damage, the ditch is also there, but the corpses are all over the city, broken knives and arrows can be seen everywhere, the cool river water in the moat has been stained with blood and turned red, even the Qin soldiers who have survived a hundred battles on the city are a little hairy, as the bandits fight more and more, the time is becoming more and more difficult, and a breath of despair has shrouded the hearts of the defenders.

In the north of Lizhou City, Qi Ziping looked at the uneven, tattered, and untidy city with a blank face, but the bandit camp that stretched for more than ten miles, and his heart was desolate.

For a few months, he had never seen it, and he didn't even think about the tragic scenes presented in front of his eyes one by one, others, the road to fame was very bumpy, he failed the two attempts, and his family was poor, and he happened to have a good fellow student who was introduced to King Jing's Mansion as a curtain, and King Jing valued him, so he also gave up the idea of advancing on the right path, and was gradually promoted to the long history of King Jing's Mansion under his conscientious work, and was gradually promoted to the long history of King Jing's Mansion. There are not many major events for him to discuss, and he lives leisurely and freely, so he is not much ashamed of his love for King Jing.

Speaking of which, in the thrilling days of King Jing's struggle for the throne, he didn't contribute much, recalling that if it weren't for the fact that there were too few people who could be used by His Majesty Xià to ascend the throne, and he was the long history of His Majesty's old mansion, he would not have been suddenly promoted to this place, let alone enter Sichuan with the army and be in charge of the lifeblood of the army.

In the past two years, he has been conscientious and conscientious, and he did not dare to slack off for a while, and everyone was almost dry, so that the grain and grass of hundreds of thousands of people were planned in an orderly manner, just to repay this grace of heaven and earth.

Lizhou has been besieged for two months now, the original Lizhou assassin Zhou Yichen surrendered and rebelled, Lizhou city guard Bai Xi died in battle, fortunately the Qin army elite, he was ordered to transfer with the army, for the highest rank in Lizhou City, although he is a literati, but with the army transfer envoy has been a military position, the chaos is ahead, the generals and colonels in the city are naturally all obeyed, and there is no hindrance, otherwise Lizhou City may be broken on the night of Bai Xi's death, where can I support this many days?

But now, the reinforcements are far away, and from the mouth of the bandits to learn that the sword gate has been lost for many days, although the city of the generals and soldiers are half doubtful, but this morale is getting more and more low, every evening, you can hear the crying endlessly, to the end of the year, to break through the siege to survive is a masterpiece, if he is not hard to persuade a few leading captains, if Lizhou City falls to the enemy, even if everyone goes back alive, they will end up in a different place, why not stick to this, waiting for reinforcements? Only then did he barely calm down.

But although he said so on his lips, his heart was the same as everyone else, and this Lizhou City was probably ......

Especially the bandits under the city of Lizhou are gathering more and more, the clamor under the city is endless, what is the abundance of food and grass in the city, if the city is broken, the money and beauty in the city are available to be used, etc., under such a chaotic agitation, often the bandits are densely packed, and rushed up without concealment, followed by a fight, especially in recent days, the bandits are estimated to have exceeded 100,000 people, each face is yellow and thin, and the expression is more and more fierce and bloodthirsty, yesterday it was twice rushed to the city, everyone rushed to the city, not afraid of death, and the city gate also gathered a fire, Vainly trying to burn down the city gate and enter, the Qin army is small, and scattered the four cities, the defense of the city is overstretched, if it is not for him to be with the army for a long time, quite a bit of foresight, let people force Ding Zhuang in the city to prepare, this Lizhou City may have been broken yesterday.

Rao is so, today's situation has also reached a critical juncture, the people in the city are seriously injured and injured, and their hostility to the Qin army has increased greatly, these people in Sichuan will not think about what will happen to those bandits after the city is broken, but they just feel that the Qin people are brutal, forcing their own families to defend the city, and letting their families die in battle, which is really hateful.

Since some time ago, the wealthy families in the city have begun to gather their families or invite neighbors, and keep the doors of their homes from outsiders, and yesterday some people took advantage of the chaos to open the city gates, if it were not for the bandits outside the city to burn a fire, I am afraid that the city gate has been lost.

In this way, rumors spread in the city, the Tao is that the Qin people want to burn the city when the city is broken, and some say that outside the city is the army of the Qin King of Shu, the Qin people have been defeated and lost, and they will be able to expel the Qin people from the middle of the river in one fell swoop, and the people of Shu will be able to return a bright future, etc., etc., etc., and so on, last night those Ding Zhuang who were forcibly pulled either fled at night, or gathered together, and raised eyebrows at the Qin army soldiers, the Qin army has experienced more than a year of conquest here, and it is surrounded here, and the whole army is short-tempered, and in case of provocation, The light one is punching and kicking, and the heavy one is immediately drawing a knife to kill, such a conflict has been staged more than a dozen times last night, and in the early morning, the Qin army is exhausted here, and the Ding Zhuang who was brought in escaped not to mention, the more hostile the rest are to the Qin army, but there is no way to think about it.

In this way, there are no reinforcements outside Lizhou City, there is no quiet inside, and the casualties of the corplatures are getting heavier and heavier. I don't know if my wife and children are okay at home, my wife's pure advice, Jiao'er's reluctance to cry, suddenly like yesterday...... Thinking of this, Qi Ziping almost burst into tears......

"Your Excellency, your Excellency."

"Huh?" Qi Zi, who woke up, calmed down and turned his thin face, but the person who came was Jiang Shan, the last remaining captain in Beicheng.

The person in front of him is full of calmness, although the situation has collapsed, but this person is still the same as at the beginning, like a stubborn stone, regardless of the wind and rain, he has never been shaken by the slightest, if there is not this person here in the north city who does not have the slightest chaos of the whole army scheduling, how can Qi Ziping, who knows little about the military formation, be able to defend the main attack of this bandit?

"My lord, there are less than three hundred soldiers in the city, and last night ...... Last night, Captain Pang also ...... Seriously injured and cured, there are only a few brigade commanders in Dongcheng, I am afraid that the defense will not be effective, and I also ask the adults to pull a lieutenant from it to facilitate the dispatch of troops.

Also, the people of the city are unstable, and the last general has left three hundred men in various important places in the city, so that no one will cause trouble......"

"How many are left in the city...... Available soldiers? ”

Jiang Shan replied gloomily: "Report to my lord, after yesterday's battle, there are less than 1,000 people in our army who can fight, a total of 984 people, and four people killed the people without permission last night, and they should have been punished by military law, but ...... At the time of employing people, the last general had already put these four people into the death camp and allowed them to die in battle to atone for their sins. ”

Qi Ziping pursed his chapped lips, the matter of life and death could no longer make any waves in his heart, "Junci handled it well." ”

Then he turned his head and looked at the camp of the rebels under the city, "Junci said earlier that the rebel army was short of food? ”

Jiang Shan nodded and said: "Now the bandits in the city are afraid that there are not hundreds of thousands of people, the consumption is not small, the plan is also big, there was no rush to attack before, I am afraid that they are gathering people, and looting the township, and four days ago, the bandit offensive turned urgent, in the end, the number of people has exceeded 100,000, there is no need to wait, and second, there is a lack of food, and they cannot wait."

Your Excellency should have seen in the past few days that these bandits must be due to lack of food, but unfortunately...... If our army can hold out for another ten days, no, only eight days, the thief army will retreat......"

"Ten days? Eight days? Qi Ziping smiled bitterly, if the bandits attacked so fiercely one after another, Lizhou City would definitely not be able to hold on for months, "I'm afraid it's a battle today, you and I ......."

Jiang Shan lowered his head, and his voice was Chen Yi, "The horse leather shroud, what the general wants, it's just an adult'......"

His words were the last hope of Qi Ziping, and his heart was gloomy, but he knew that he would die, and although he heard Jiang Shan's sentence be an understatement, it contained a categorical meaning, and he couldn't help but arouse his literati heart, and said with a dry smile: "Junci is not afraid of death, so what is Qi afraid of?" Unexpectedly, Qi Mou read the book of sages since he was a child, but in the end he did the way of killing, but it was also a blessing to be able to die for the country...... When it comes to Junci, there is a good word in his name, but he does a great evil thing, and when he is about to die, he is so fearless and fearless, and his good life is admirable......"

Na Jiang Shan listened to what he said a little sour, and he didn't think about it, but the other party was a literati, who could stick to it with them and put life and death aside, and he also had some admiration in his heart, so he smiled slightly, "The name given by my parents is not accurate, it seems that the adults already know in their hearts that today's battle is more auspicious, and the adults are unwilling to lead the troops to break through...... The courage of the adults is really admired by the last general, but there is a way to protect the city from being lost, but I don't know if the adults can be ruthless. ”

"Oh?" Qi Ziping's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help grabbing Jiang Shan's arm and blurted out: "Junci has a good plan, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Jiang Shan smiled secretly in his heart, although this adult can die generously, but in the end, he is not like his own family and other fighting men, he has already seen life and death very lightly, and he has to be impassioned, but now he looks like this, he is a person with a true temperament, and his own calculations are a little ...... However, General Wu deceived people too much, only left a few soldiers and horses for Lizhou, trapped the Yanzhou town army in the Jedi, and then looked at other soldiers and horses, the Qinzhou forbidden army was in Hanzhong, and the Liangzhou town army was in Jinzhou. And the general himself took his cronies and the forbidden army of the front of the palace to grab the first credit, it is really hateful, the situation has collapsed to such an extent, it is estimated that most of it is the general's selfishness, otherwise Lizhou City and Xixian are such important towns, but where would there be only this little guard of soldiers and horses...... And the adult in front of him heard that he was a person hand-picked by His Majesty, and he had a great background......

Thinking of this, although he felt that this lord was not bad in terms of heart or behavior, and felt a little ashamed in his heart, but when he thought of those comrades who did not die in the hands of the Western Thieves, but died in the battle, he couldn't help but hate in his heart, so he didn't care about anything else, "Although the last general has some calculations, there are obstacles in it. ”

How did Qi Ziping know that although the person in front of him was just a captain and general, he was not only thinking about the bandits who were besieging the city, but also calculating the high-ranking commander and himself, and when he saw the other party hesitate, he would be wrong, "If Lizhou can be preserved, Qi Mou should report the truth to the imperial court and learn ......about it."

Jiang Shan held the city wall with his hand, opened a pair of bloodshot eyes, shook his head and chuckled, "My lord misunderstood, the last general has been in the army so far, and he has made great contributions to the generals, regardless of the officials, colleagues, subordinates, who doesn't know that Jiang Mou is not the person who is happy with his achievements, and he never competes with others, if it is not for the order of the imperial court, even if the merit of attacking Shu is great, Jiang will not be here......

Besides, what the last general said, I'm afraid it's not a good policy, as for the sake of it, please think, the bandits are short of food, why, the adults should know, my army entered Shu, fought for more than a year, delayed the agricultural affairs in Shu, this is the biggest reason for the bandits, now there are countless grain and grass in Lizhou City, enough to live hundreds of thousands of people, if the city is not broken, adults think about it, where else can the bandits get food? ”

The more he listened, the more fascinated Qi Ziping muttered: "Jinzhou ......" followed by a shock.

"That's right, it's Jinzhou, since the army entered Shu, our army has been invincible and invincible...... Say a word that does not match the identity of the last general, don't be surprised, our army's arrogant heart is also a great victory in the past, before I waited for the Yanzhou town army to come south, before leaving, Zhang Shuai had told me to wait, the battle of Shuzhong will win, but the obstacle is only after the war, must not have a little arrogance, and as Zhang Shuai said, although the Shu army is numerous, but not accustomed to the battle for a long time, there are millions of people, and they are not the opponents of our army.

But this post-war disposition ...... Hehe, Lizhou is the gateway to Shuzhong, and Jinzhou is a heavy land for grain and grass for the army, and there are probably millions of stones in the grain storage, and then look at how many soldiers and horses are left? How many soldiers and horses are left in the Sword Gate?

Such a military event, if it is not the humble status of the last general, you can worry about it, but, hehe, the last general thinks, most of the soldiers of the Lizhou Shu army are in the custody of the Jianmen, there are tens of thousands of people, and my Jianmen defenders are only thousands, once there is something, hey, the loss of the Jianmen that these bandits under the city said, in the eyes of the last general, it should be true.

Moreover, once the Sword Gate is lost, the back road led by General Wu has been broken, and the various sections of the original Shu State in southern Sichuan have surrendered their troops, I am afraid that there are not tens of thousands, this generation is forced by my Great Qin soldiers, and has to surrender, but in a hurry, the military power is still in the hands of this generation, I am afraid that the situation in southern Sichuan is not better than that of Lizhou......"

This Jiang Shan talked eloquently, although his clothes and armor were broken, covered with blood, and the whole person looked haggard, but at this moment, in Qi Ziping's eyes, this identity was originally insignificant in the army, but he gathered all the brilliance of the city and the city under the city.

"So, Junci has long known that the army will not come to the aid of Lizhou? Why didn't you tell me? ”

Jiang Shan bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "My lord has a good saying, if the city of Lizhou is lost, even if we get out by luck, whether it is to join the army or go to Jinzhou, my lord may have no fault, but I wait, General Wu will not let us go, and he will deal with us with military law, otherwise who will bear the sin of the loss of Lizhou?" I'm afraid that Jinzhou is similar there, but it can live a little longer, so the last general will listen to the adult's intention to defend it...... We are mortal people, so what's the harm in joining forces with adults? It makes no difference if you don't say this, otherwise it will vent the heart of the corporal who dares to die, isn't it beautiful? ”

Qi Ziping nodded again and again, although he felt that the meaning of Jiang Shan's words was a little uncomfortable, but more importantly, he felt that the general in front of him was really a great general, and his words were also very reasonable.

So he followed Jiang Shan's meaning and said: "The general uses the troops properly, but it is inevitable that there will be ...... This omission, after this battle, the court has its own judgment, this is not something you and I can talk about lightly. ”

Jiang Shan wanted this sentence, but in the end he muttered, "If there are 5,000 elites under the command of the last general, and the bandits are dragged here, within eight days, the bandits will definitely be in chaos without a fight, and even if they want to go to Jinzhou, as long as there are 2,000 soldiers and horses, and the tail will chase after them, the thief army will be broken, but it's a pity, it's a pity ......."

However, a general, but to think about calculating the leading handsome, is not small, but he also knows the measure, as soon as the words turned, he continued: "Okay, our lives are in an instant, today the city will be broken, there will be a way to make the thief army retreat today, but the damage is inevitable, and it is impossible to break this crisis, but it is just to let Lizhou City hold on for more time, especially ...... is still the same sentence, if the bandits have food, maybe those bandit leaders will not go to the idea of fighting Jinzhou, even if the bandit leader has a heart, at least it can delay the bandits for a while, so that Jinzhou can be more prepared, so that our life and death are all in the thought of adults, and let adults decide. ”
