In the city of Pu'an (Jiange County, Sichuan), Li Changzai, the chief supervisor of the camp who had just returned from Jianmen Pass, was also an ant on the hot pan. As the saying goes, "I just left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den" was fulfilled by him.

He thought that he could live and freely cultivate himself in the rear after leaving Jianmen Pass. However, he did not expect that there would be traces of thieves from behind. So, the important task of resisting the enemy's situation in Jiangyou naturally fell on him.

Fortunately, before this, his old family and life-saving benefactor, who had been robbed by the rioters and thieves, transported him a batch of food, grass, quilts, money, silk, wine and medicine; otherwise, he would not know how he would be able to maintain his own self-control in Pu'an City.

Despite this, he still lacked confidence in his heart, and he did not dare to send out the thousands of remaining defenders in the city to search and fight the enemy. After all, he was not familiar with martial arts, nor was he like the "Er Yang" and his lieutenants, but his experience and experience in the prison ranks for many years.

He was able to get this position because he was Li Da Diao Cen's adopted son, and he escaped from the defeat of Shanxi and became one of the few "thieves" among the officials. At that time, he did not expect that things would be so dangerous, otherwise how could he volunteer to be the chief supervisor of the camp or military supervisor?

In fact, he would rather know nothing, because whenever he thought of the Xichuan army in front of the thief's arms, it would be enough to make him have nightmares for a few days. That's why he decided to leave the Jianmen line on the grounds of supervising food to avoid seeing the thief again.

So at this moment, he didn't even dare to send out the defenders in the city. Because there were too many missions to weaken the city defense, it was useless when it was really needed; there were fewer missions, and it was probably useless, and the generals who led the team could even run away and slip away halfway.

As one of the adopted sons of the imperial court's military supervisor and Li Dadiaudang, he naturally had more channels of information and had more inside information than ordinary people. The situation in Xichuan is really as exhausting as a dangerous egg; although there are two camps in the south and east, and the guards and armed forces in Chengdu are for support, but this is the result of exhausting local power.

You should know that whether it is the southwest Wendu or the Qiang in the Xishan Mountains under the rule of the imperial court, Ding Zhuang who can be used was almost all recruited. Now he either goes north to help the pass or is trapped in Shanxi Road. The remaining troops and horses in Xichuan have become bandits; it can be said that there is no hope.

Moreover, although the court led by the leadership had agreed to Nanzhao's marriage and borrowed troops from Nanzhao to help with this condition; it also withdrew most of the garrisons north of Qingxi Pass. However, the reinforcements promised by Nanzhao were not here for a long time after the beginning of spring, and it is said that there was a chaos in the country and there was no time to take care of themselves.

Therefore, facing the thief from the three sides of the southeast, the local governments could only fight on their own; and the coordinated orders for various people were no longer enlightened due to repeated mutinies and loss of control. Therefore, the current Chengdu Prefecture and Xingzai may not be safer than the city of Pu'an, Jianzhou (now Jiange County, Sichuan) where he is located.

Then the truth is corrected, and even if he wants to escape, he can't escape. At present, Li Changzai, a group of grain escort soldiers who can trust and rely on from Chengdu, was the force he could trust and rely on because the road back was cut off.

At least they were mostly barbaric lands in the southwestern border areas of Guizhou, such as Qianzhong, and the horse gang who transported salt and sold salt were obviously much more reliable and capable than those Shence new soldiers who recruited Ding Zhuang from the refugees of Chengdu Prefecture. Thinking of this, they couldn't help but call Dutou, the grain escort team, who is now the Wei Xiaogou who is prepared by Qianniu.

As soon as he met, he kept reporting:

"Report to the Chief Superintendent, the number of defenders at the Simen City and the amount of grain and equipment stored in the warehouses have been initially counted..."

"After the number of twelve people was set up at the North Gate Tower, they should have escaped to their homes; they have already blamed the corresponding team, the fire chief, and won the lottery ticket...."

"The Changping Store near Nanmen City has a very large amount of vacancy, which is 957 stones in the account book. I am chasing the warehouse clerk to pursue the follow-up..."

However, Li Changzai listened absent-mindedly to him for a while before he forced himself to smile and said again:

"As a result, everyone under the command of Ambassador Lin (Shenhe) is a capable person, and it's so envious of the Zajia..."

"It's all too good, the villain is just doing his best..."

Wei Xiaogou was a little respectful:

"But I don't know, if something happens in the city, can the miscellaneous family count on one or two?"

Then, Li Chang hesitated and spoke:

"The chief supervisor is at ease. If the matter is coming, the villain should do his best to protect the chief supervisor to take care of the in case..."

Hearing this, he quickly patted his chest and said:

“…”

However, when Li Chang heard this, he became more worried and swaying. He pondered for a while and then hesitated and said:

"Wei Qianniu... I heard that you have been in the southwest areas over the years... I wonder if you know some people who have had contact with the south...."

"I dare to ask the Chief Superintendent...what does this mean? But Qianzhou..."

Wei Xiaogou felt aroused, but she was confused and confused:

"What the miscellaneous family asked about is Yuzhou...the other side of Yuzhou..."

After saying this, Li Chang thought that he had taken time to sit on the collapsed body with equal strength.

"The governor was joking. The villain was the obedient people of the court. How dare he have any contact with the thief?"

Wei Xiaogou said in surprise:

"The natural history of the Qianzhong Guizhou Guild is loyal to the king's affairs, but the salt production that you have produced over the years can ensure that every little bit is produced in Rongzhou, and there is no other source?"

However, Li Changzai obviously took the initiative and looked at him seriously and said:

"As the capital priest said, the villain is a little confused..Salt goods are dead objects, how can there be a distinction between loyalty and treacherous?"

After hearing this, Wei Xiaogou couldn't help but take a step back and said respectfully:

"Okay, I don't want to make money or frame Ambassador Lin, I just want to find a way out in this desperate situation."

Li Changzai smiled bitterly, but said:

“…”

However, Wei Xiaogou still bowed her head respectfully and said nothing, but her palm still inadvertently grasped the hilt of the sword.

"The family just wants to invite you. If you have the opportunity to pass on a sentence, you can discuss everything you have to do as long as you can save your life."

Li Changzai leaned against the parched boy again, his eyes floating around and said:

However, the horizontal knife beside Wei Xiaogou was quietly pulled out inadvertently. The next moment, he heard the sound of Tongbing coming from outside:

"There is a thief who is suspected to have been found near Jitou Mountain in the south gate..."

So in a blink of an eye, the horizontal knife in Wei Xiaogou's hand was re-shewn, as if it had never been pulled out; and Li Changzai also raised his eyes again with a sleepy face and said slowly to him:

"I'll ask the head of the Wei Du to lead the troops to go outside the south gate to check the enemy's situation."

"Get orders!!"

After Wei Xiaogou flipped her eyelids a few times, she replied in a deep voice:

On the next day, thousands of reinforcements from Jiange, led by Zhang Zao, deputy envoy of the East Camp, one of the former "five capitals", finally arrived at the city of Pu'an. However, what greeted them were the Taiping Qing Banner floating above the head of the city of Zhouzhi, and the ambushing soldiers who were like forests of flags from the back mountain;
