The Baigang soldiers under Ma Qiancheng were indeed exhausted. Although they did not start from Chongqing and ran over 600 miles, they also ran over 60 miles from near Longquanyi.

At this moment, they were all really panting and sweating profusely, and they didn't need to pretend.

Seeing this, Chen Shiqi couldn't help but be moved and said, "General Ma, I have worked hard all the way, and Chen doesn't know what to say. In short, thank you General Ma for not fearing difficulties and obstacles and leading his army to help. I would like to thank you for the hundreds of thousands of people in Chengdu City. Thank you."

After saying that, he solemnly raised his hands and bowed deeply to Ma Qiancheng.

Seeing this, Ma Qiancheng felt so embarrassed.

I'm not here to save you, okay, I'm here to seize the city!

He quickly held Chen Shiqi's arm and pretended to be moved and said, "Mr. Chen, don't do this soon, you'll be defeated."

Chen Shiqi shook his head slightly, then sighed, "Oh, now General Ma is the only one who can save Sichuan. I am trapped in Chengdu, and I don't know what the situation is outside. General Ma, do you have the confidence to quell the rebellion?"

Just kidding, to quell the rebellion?

If I want to quell the rebellion, I will just say one thing. Question, why should I quell the rebellion?

Ma Qiancheng sighed with a false intention and said, "Oh, the situation outside is hard to describe. I heard that Fushun, Neijiang, Zixian and Ziyang have fallen, Jianzhou, Xindu and Longquan are also in danger. The rebels are too strong this time, with nearly 300,000 troops!"

Of course he was bragging, and the chieftain coalition actually only had about 230,000.

When Chen Shiqi heard this, his face changed slightly, and there were 300,000 people!

Ma Qiancheng would only bring 20,000 troops to die, and let him fight with 300,000 rebels?

This is really a bit embarrassing for others. Even if the white-rod soldiers can be one, it will be useless!

He couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, it seems that he can only defend Chengdu to the death."

Ma Qiancheng's eyes rolled and he tentatively said: "Mr. Chen, the bandits are in power, and Chengdu is surrounded by enemies from all sides. It is probably difficult to defend. Why not Lord Chen will go to Chongqing with his official position? Chongqing is surrounded by rivers on three sides, and there is a heroic pass to block the way. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. No matter how strong the bandits are, the subordinates will be sure to defend the Buddha map, Erlang and Qingmu passes."

When Chen Shiqi heard this, he shook his head without hesitation and said, "Is it a real man who escaped at the battle? I cannot lose the face of the Ming Dynasty and make future generations laugh at me, and I cannot leave behind hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Chengdu and allow the rebels to bully him! General Ma, don't say such words in the future."

It seems that the rumors are not false. Chen Shiqi is indeed a good official for the country and the people.

Ma Qiancheng secretly tempted again: "Sir, it may be difficult for the people of the officials to defend the huge Chengdu city with just the people. I wonder if the court can send other reinforcements to rescue him."

Alas, the court.

The court is afraid that it will not be able to count on it.

Chen Shiqi shook his head and said frankly: "The current imperial court is too busy to take care of itself, and I am afraid it is powerless to take care of the southwest."

Well, this person is not a stubborn Qingliu, and he can still recognize the situation.

Ma Qiancheng secretly tempted again: "If Chengdu is lost, will you be willing to follow Xiaguan to Chongqing? Don't worry, although Xiaguan is not sure to defeat the 300,000 rebels, the rebels can't stop Xiaguan. Xiaguan will definitely lead the adults to break through the siege."

Chen Shiqi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then said with a determined look on his face: "I am the governor of Sichuan. If Chengdu is lost, what kind of face should I have to live in the world? If General Ma can break through, even if he breaks through, I will die for my country!"

Alas, he is indeed a good official and worth fighting for.

Forget it, I won't tease you anymore.

Ma Qiancheng hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Chen is really admired by his subordinates for his country and the people. He must do his best to protect Chengdu."

When Chen Shiqi heard this, he patted his shoulder and said with relief: "Okay, General Ma, thank you. General Ma has worked hard all the way. Otherwise, you will take your men and horses to rest in the barracks under the city wall first."

Ma Qiancheng shook his head repeatedly and said, "The rebels are about to attack the city. How can we rest under the city wall? Don't worry, my soldiers can still withstand it. Let them stay on the city wall, so as not to have time to go up there."

This is naturally better. Chen Shiqi was not pretentious and nodded directly and said, "Okay, then thank you all for your hard work."

After saying that, he began to arrange the white-rod soldiers to garrison the city wall.

The wall of Chengdu City is more than 20 miles long, so it is naturally no problem to plug 20,000 white-rod soldiers.

After Ma Qiancheng took the white-rod soldiers to the city wall, he did not reveal any abnormalities. He just ordered his subordinates to rest under the bush of arrows and wait for the rebels to attack the city.

As a result, it took most of the day to wait.

The rebels seemed to hesitate for a long time, and then ran back to continue to build siege equipment.

This is not surprising. After all, at the beginning, there were only thousands of garrisons and thousands of townsmen in Chengdu. It would be almost the same to build some siege equipment. Now there are 20,000 more white-rod soldiers in the city, so naturally, they have to build more siege equipment.

The day passed like this, and night fell. The Baigang soldier who had been resting for most of the day seemed to be in high spirits. Ma Qiancheng actually ran to the governor's office and came to find Chen Shiqi.

Chen Shiqi didn't doubt it, and actually led him to the backyard directly and said politely: "General Ma, you haven't eaten yet. It's just right, I'm about to eat now. Why don't I ask the kitchen to add some food, and you can eat here."

Ma Qiancheng pretended to shirk, "This, let's get away with the meal. The official just wanted to ask the adults how to arrange the night's duty."

Chen Shiqi insisted on inviting him, "No hurry to eat first, after dinner, I will accompany you to the city wall."

Ma Qiancheng had no choice but to stay and have dinner with Chen Shiqi.

As soon as the meal came, Ma Qiancheng couldn't help but nodded secretly.

As a governor of a province, Chen Shiqi is still quite frugal. There are only three dishes on the table, and there is one because he specially added it.

In fact, the reason why he ran to the Governor's Office was not to see what Chen Shiqi had eaten, he came to explore the way.

Tonight, he will be ready to take action. If he can't catch the governor, it will be troublesome, so he must figure out where Chen Shiqi will stay in the evening.

Chen Shiqi didn't know what Ma Qiancheng was planning. He really admired the general who came to rescue without fear of hardships. After the two hurriedly finished the meal, he followed Ma Qiancheng to the city wall, arranged a rotation for the evening, and chatted for a while, and then he returned home with unfulfilled feelings.

That night, the city wall was mainly dominated by the white-rod soldiers. Most of the Tunwei who had been holding on the city wall for several days went back to the barracks under the city wall to rest, and the townships almost went home to rest. It can be said that the entire Chengdu city is like being unprepared in front of the Bai-rod soldiers at this moment.

Ma Qiancheng was not in a hurry. It was not until midnight that everyone had almost slept to death, so he ordered half of his men to secretly get off the city wall and surround the barracks of the Tunwei, and then took his personal guards straight to the governor.

Chen Shiqi didn't know that he had been waiting for a few days, but what he was looking forward to was the leader of the rebels!

He was really tired these days. As soon as Ma Qiancheng arrived, his suspended heart finally let go, so he slept very deeply that night. In a daze, he seemed to hear someone calling: "Mr. Chen, Lord Chen, wake up."

It was Ma Qiancheng, did the rebels come to attack the city?

Chen Shiqi suddenly opened his eyes and saw that Ma Qiancheng was right in front of him!

However, Ma Qiancheng had no anxious expression on his face. It shouldn't be the rebels who came to attack the city.

He didn't understand what was going on, but Ma Qiancheng waved his hand and said lightly: "Mr. Chen, I offended you."

Two "swooshing" sounds, two elite white-rod soldiers rushed out from behind him, and tied Chen Shiqi, who was confused, tightly in a few seconds.
