Liyang City, the city guarding the palace.

As the city guard of Liyang City, Mi Bao felt that he was in a bad mood.

After the last battle in Guanzhong, Mi Bao served as the guardian of Liyang City with the strong recommendation of Yangquan Jun Mi Chen.

The intimate relationship between Mi Chen and Mi Bao can be easily seen from the name alone.

Mi Bao and Mi Chen, as well as the current Queen of Qin, are descendants of the Duke of Chu, and are both born to the same father.

Due to the Queen Mother Xuan Mi Bazi, the Mi family is also a big family in Qin, especially after Mi Chen became a prime minister.

But Mi Bao thought that even if he didn't look at his life experience, he would be worthy of his brother Mi Chen's recommendation.

After taking office, Mi Bao first brought the residents of Liyang City through the first year's production cuts, and then brought the residents of Liyang City to resume production in the second year.

It is already the third year, and the millet has been planted in large quantities. According to the reports of subordinate officials, the growth of the millet is quite gratifying. It is very likely to achieve a great harvest and will even surpass the best years in the past few years.

This is a real political achievement!

Mi Bao is very confident. As long as it comes to autumn, his contribution will definitely be indispensable.

At that time, as long as you go to find Brother Mi Chen to do activities, then promotion will be a matter of minutes.

So Mi Bao is looking forward to the stars and the moon, hoping that autumn will be early.

As a result, autumn did not come, but the people of Zhao came.

When Mi Bao saw the big banner with the word "Li" outside the city, his heart was cold.

Needless to say, Mi Bao knew that the evil star of Zhao State who poisoned Guanzhong once two years ago is back!

Mi Bao just wanted to curse her.

With so many troops in Beidi County and Shang County, have all the troops stationed in Xianyang evaporated? Why didn't anyone stop this evil star who killed thousands of swords?

Also, why have so many days passed, and the reinforcements in Liyang City still have no shadow at all?

Even if I set out from Xianyang, I should have arrived long ago!!

No one can answer Mi Bao's question, because Liyang City has been completely blocked and the channels for delivering messages are completely gone. Not to mention people, even a bird cannot fly around the Zhao people.

This kind of experience of being helpless is actually very bad. It will slowly destroy people's will, making everyone gradually become depressed and become more irritable.

Mi Bao's temper is very irritable now.

Especially after hearing that there was a start to provoke trouble in the city, and even after someone took the opportunity to kill and rob, Mi Bao's patience was completely exhausted and he began to call on the defending general Xiang Cheng.

"You immediately send someone to the streets, capture all these damn thugs, and kill them all!"

As a county magistrate, Mi Bao actually has no right to point fingers at the guard general.

But if the defender Xiang Cheng himself belonged to the Mi clan and was specially sent by Xiang Bang Mi Chen to assist Mi Bao, things would naturally be completely different.

Within just a few days, a large number of "thugs" were arrested, and the entire prison in Liyang City was stuffed with people. Hundreds of heads hung high at the entrance of the vegetable market, which was spectacular.

Looking at these heads, Mi Bao felt much more relieved and felt that the depression in her heart was wiped out.

But soon, new problems arose.

During this large-scale search, some soldiers seized the opportunity to falsely accuse and arrest people who had hatred in the past, and at the same time, blackmailing and even forcibly robbing wealthy families often happened, causing the residents in the entire city of Liyang to complain.

But facing the victims who came to sue, Mi Bao was also very troubled, so he had to say a few words of refusal, such as the official who is a civilian official cannot interfere in military affairs, but he must tell the general the words of the second and third sons to let the general punish the illegal people severely and give everyone a fair and just way.

Mi Bao actually knew very well why this situation happened.

The Qin State lacked military resources.

You should know that for a long time, the main source of Qin soldiers was Guanzhong.

The people of Guanzhong were brave and were all native Qin people. They were far superior to other places in terms of combat power and loyalty, such as the Bashu soldiers or the Hedong soldiers. Therefore, the Qin army has always been composed of Guanzhong soldiers as the main backbone.

But the problem is that when Qin State suffered several consecutive defeats under Zhao State and lost a large number of troops, the source of Guanzhong soldiers began to be in short supply.

The Qin State had to relax its demand for recruiting troops, not only summoned many people from Bashu and Beidi County Shangjun, but also summoned a large number of criminals and criminals into the army to form a criminal army.

The troops stationed in Liyang City are composed of half county soldiers and half prisoners, with a total of 6,000.

Such a slag army can do things that can extort and retaliate for personal gain.

Sometimes Mi Bao even doubted whether the guys who were provoking trouble in the city at the beginning also had these criminal troops inside... but no evidence was found.

If it weren't for the obvious lack of siege weapons for the Zhao cavalry from afar, Liyang City would have been defeated long ago by relying on such a team with corrupt military discipline to defend the city.

But Mi Bao felt that it was a great enemy after all, and it would be bad if he dealt with those guys causing mutiny in the criminal army.

So Mi Bao temporarily suppressed these things and prepared to make a decision after the Zhao people retreated.

Speaking of this time, Wu'an Jun Bai Qi brought most of the Qin soldiers who were still combative to Hedong. In addition to the tens of thousands of elite soldiers left in Guanzhong, the defenders in other cities were probably almost the same as those in Liyang City, and their qualities were uneven.

On this morning, someone suddenly reported to Mi Bao, who was handling official duties, saying that it was Xu Yang, a prisoner of the criminal army, who had secret military information and asked for a visit.

"What are he going to do?" Mi Bao frowned. Xu Yang was a second-generation gangster. He was entirely dependent on someone in his family who became a small official in Xianyang, so he could become a captain of the prisoner of the Criminal Army.

Moreover, this person is not careful among the criminal army. According to the evidence of many wealthy families in the city, Xu Yang is likely to secretly condone the soldiers of the criminal army to loot in the city and share the spoils in it.

When the war is over, the first thing Mi Bao has to deal with is Xu Yang.

But no matter what, Xu Yang is now considered the most important figure in the city, so after a moment of hesitation, Mi Bao still met Xu Yang in the study.

Xu Yang is a man about forty years old. He is so big that he has a small and sharp eyes. It is the so-called appearance of a deer-headed and rat-headed look. It looks like a cunning and annoying.

As soon as Xu Yang opened his mouth, "The city guards, something big is not good!"

Mi Bao looked at Xu Yang with an anxious look and couldn't help but snorted coldly, saying, "What are you panic? If you have something to do, you'll say it!"

Xu Yang rubbed his hands, looked left and right, and suddenly whispered: "City Guard, no one should have eavesdropped here?"

Mi Bao looked down on this guy Xu Yang. Seeing Xu Yang's behavior at this moment, the anger in his heart even blew up and said coldly: "What's the matter? Just come!"
