    A spy flew in, knelt down in front of Shao Jiechun with a thud, and shouted urgently: "It's bad, the leader of the bandit army, the Marshal, led eight thousand thieves, bypassed Jianmen Pass from Qingchuan County, and made a surprise attack."  Mianyang, currently Mianyang has fallen into the hands of the bandits. The generalissimo is reorganizing the army and peeking at Chengdu"

    When Shao Jiechun heard this, he jumped up and jumped for a long time.  Just based on the speed of this jump, no one would believe him if he was a civil servant. With this level of agility, he would be able to perform a martial arts test to become the top martial arts champion.  Shao Jiechun was shocked. When he fell down, the back of his head almost hit the back of the chair.

    He lifted up the governor's robe and rushed out of the Yamen.  The staff and guards around him knew that something was wrong, so they hurriedly ran out with him, only to hear Master Chafu shouting orders: "Go and invite General Qin, and tell her to meet at the Prince of Shu's Mansion quickly Hurry Hurry.  ¡­¡±

    Half an hour later, a bunch of officials were sitting in the dark hall of Prince Shu's Mansion.

    The person sitting at the top of the list is, of course, Prince Zhu Zhishu of Shu. He is the 10th grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and the direct son of Prince Gong of Shu. In the 44th year of Wanli, he conquered the throne and became the king of Shu. He has been in power for more than 20 years.  A fat man in his fifties.  Sitting on his left was Sichuan Governor Shao Jiechun, who had just performed "Qing Kung" and came flying from the governor's office. Sitting on his right was a female general with white hair and armor.  .

    This female general is none other than Qin Liangyu, the chieftain of the Shizhu Tujia people and the world-famous commander-in-chief of the White Pole Soldiers.  She was born in the second year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1574 AD), and now it is the eleventh year of Chongzhen (1638 AD).  He is now sixty-five years old and can be considered a veteran.

    Qin Liangyu¡¯s natal family is the Zhongzhou Qin family. She was born in Zhongzhou, Sichuan. Later, she met Ma Qiancheng, the chieftain of the Ma family of the Shizhu Tujia ethnic group, through a martial arts competition (folk legend) and married him.  Later, Ma Qiancheng was killed by the eunuch Qiu Chengyun and died in prison. Ma Xianglin was still young and could not govern, so the position of chieftain of the Shizhu Tujia family was temporarily replaced by his mother Qin Liangyu.  He was named the Shizhu Xuanfu envoy.  Lead the overall military rank.

    She is as good as a woman, and is inferior to men in terms of strategy and martial arts. She is also loyal and brave and loves the people because of her superior ability.  After his son Ma Xianglin came of age.  He also believed that his mother was more suitable to rule the territorial family than he was.  Therefore, she did not take over the position of chieftain from her, which was a rare thing in ancient China.

    During the Tianqi period.  Yongning Xuanfu She Chongming entangled one hundred thousand tribesmen in rebellion and almost captured Chengdu, but Qin Liangyu led his troops to drive them away.

    In the second year of Chongzhen, the Qing troops detoured to Xifengkou, captured Zunhua, and reached Beijing. The situation was grim.  Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to mobilize the soldiers and horses of King Qin from all over the world. Upon hearing this, Qin Liangyu "renounced his family to provide money and pay" and led his white-poled troops north to King Qin.  At that time, King Qin's army numbered more than 100,000 people, but when they saw the Manchu Tatars, everyone was afraid and dared not move forward. Only Qin Liangyu led his troops to attack bravely and captured Yongping, Zunhua and other four cities, relieving Beijing's danger.  For this reason, Emperor Chongzhen personally wrote a poem to praise her.

    The brocade robe of Shu is cut by hand, and the peach blossoms are about to be tasseled.  There are so many amazing men in the world, who is willing to travel thousands of miles on the battlefield?

    Later, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai entered Sichuan twice, and Qin Liangyu led the white-pole soldiers to snipe. At this time, Qin Liangyu was already recognized by everyone as the number one general in Sichuan, and the second ranked was the divine crossbow general Zhang stationed at Jianmen Pass.  make.  Sadly, Qin Liangyu, the first general in Sichuan, is already sixty-five years old, and Zhang Ling, the second general, is also sixty-nine years old. The talent among the officers and soldiers is withering. It is obvious that these two old men are actually allowed to take the lead.  .

    In addition to the King of Shu, Chafu, and Qin Liangyu, there are many other people, such as the Sichuan Chief Envoy, the Supervisory Envoy, the Chengdu Magistrate, the Patrolling Censor In short, the palace is full of heads, and everyone  There was a lot of discussion, and there was a sense of fear in the hearts.

    The fat on the face of Prince Shu Zhu Zhishu kept trembling. He said in panic: "Today, I invite everyone to come to my palace because I want to talk about the fact that Zhu Ba's bandit army has invaded Mianyang"

    In fact, all the officials in the hall had known the news for a long time, and his words were simply nonsense.

    Zhu Zhishu sighed a few times and said: "My lords, please hurry up and think of a way to defeat the enemy Oh if those thieves really rush into Chengdu, I I I will have no choice but to throw myself into a well.  He committed suicide" When he said the words "committed suicide by throwing himself into a well," he actually shed a few tears. It seemed that he was really frightened.

    A petty official walked out of the hall and said loudly: "General Qin Liangyu is sitting in Chengdu, how can it be broken by thieves? My lord, you can rest assured that with General Qin's methods, a few stupid thieves can be captured easily.  "This man came out and talked a lot of nonsense. He was all flattering Qin Liangyu, but he didn't say anything useful.

    The white-haired old general Qin Liangyu couldn't help but glance at him and was too lazy to speak.

    At this time, Shao Jiechun, Master Shao spoke, he bowed to Qin Liangyu, and then said seriously: "General Qin, I heard not long ago that your noble son Ma Xianglin was ordered to guard the Yinping Ancient Road. Why did the bandits break in through there?"

    Qin Liangyu smiled bitterly and said: "My dog ??was captured by the bandits and the ancient Yinping Road was lost."

    As soon as she said these words, all the officials in the hall were shocked, especially the King of Shu Zhu Zhishu. He was so frightened that all the fat in his body jumped and shouted: "Oh, General Ma is such a hero, he can actually do it."  Captured by an army of thieves? This this what should I do? Oh am I really going to have to commit suicide by throwing myself into a well?"

    Shao Jiechun was shocked when he heard that Ma Xianglin was captured by the bandit army. He said depressedly: "What should I do now? After the bandit army enters Mianyang, they will definitely take Chengdu And the line from Mianyang to Chengdu belongs to the Chengdu Plain.  , there is no danger to defend, the bandits may appear below Chengdu at any time."

    Qin Liangyu frowned, thought carefully for a while, and then said: "Prince Shu, Lord Shao, in my opinion, the bandit army that captured Mianyang is not worthy of attention You must know the dangers of the ancient Yinping Road, even if the bandit army  You can turn it over with your feet, but the grain truck will definitely not be able to get through. Back then, Zhuge Wuhou had to use wooden oxen and horses to transport grain. These thieves were not capable of Wuhou, and it was absolutely impossible to transport grain through Yinping At the end  It will be guessed that this bandit army no longer has the strength to attack Chengdu, so it must first capture Jianmen Pass. Only after opening up the food road can it continue to advance south."

    When she said these words, there were a few petty officials in the hall who knew a little about fighting who responded.  Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, was also overjoyed and said: "I see, huhit seems I don't have to commit suicide by throwing myself into a well" This man kept saying three things about committing suicide by throwing himself into a well. His words made people speechless, and all the officials in the hall couldn't bear it.  Zhu rolled his eyes at him and thought: If the rebel army really enters Chengdu, my lord, would you dare to throw yourself into a well?  I'm afraid you don't even have the courage to throw yourself into a well, and it's almost as good as surrendering instead of throwing yourself into a well.

    In fact, the officials mistakenly blamed Zhu Zhishu. Although this Shu prince had no ability.  It looks a bit like a pig's head.  But he really had the courage to throw himself into a well.  If Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't messed up history.  Zhang Xianzhong would capture Chengdu in the 17th year of Chongzhen (AD 1644), and Zhu Zhishu, the Prince of Shu, would throw himself into a well together with his concubines and maids Even though he was full of fat, he was very courageous.  Small.  But the crisis really came.  He would rather be broken than jade.  It¡¯s not for nothing!  This is much better than many boneless civil servants.

    The test of a person¡¯s character is often the moment between life and death

    I heard Qin Liangyu say that the thieves had no food and had to wait until the food channel was opened.  Many petty officials expressed support, but a group of civil servants had dark faces and did not agree with him.  These civil servants had been in the officialdom for a long time, and they were all experienced. After rolling their eyes for a while, they spoke: "General Qin, did your spies see the fact that the rebel army is without food, or did you base it on the steepness of the ancient road?"  What¡¯s the extent of your guess?¡±

    Qin Liangyu said: "It's a guess! Because the Yinping Ancient Road" She was about to introduce in detail the steepness of the ancient road, the difficulty of driving grain trucks, etc. However, before she could say anything, she was interrupted by the civil servants.  A group of civil servants exclaimed: "Just a guess? Then that's too unsafe, right?"

    Qin Liangyu said: "Although it is a guess, it is absolutely true, because the Yinping Ancient Road"

    A civil servant interrupted again: "So what if the Yinping Ancient Road is dangerous? No matter how dangerous the Shu Road is, aren't your white-poled soldiers running like flying on it? We heard that the rebel army has a black-poled soldier, and maybe there are white soldiers as well."  The skill of the pole soldiers is terrible."

    Another civil servant echoed: "Yes, yes! Although the roads to Shu are dangerous, we have been transporting grain on them. For thousands of years, the army in Shu has not been blocked by these rugged roads."  ¡­¡±

    Qin Liangyu knew that these civil servants usually sat in the city without leaving home. Even if they knew a little about the Shu Road, they had never been to the Yinping Ancient Road. They didn't know that the Motian Ridge there could not be easily conquered by the white-pole soldiers with their mountain marching ability.  How could the grain truck get in?  Although she knew it in her heart, it was too difficult to tell these civil servants Most of these civil servants were stubborn and couldn't listen to what others said.  Moreover, they are accustomed to party disputes. Once they encounter someone who disagrees with their views, they will ramble on and find irrelevant things to talk about, insisting on talking down the other party.

    Sure enough, those civil servants said again: "Based on General Qin's guess, he believed that the bandit army had no food and was too dangerous. The lower official believed that we should attach great importance to the bandit army that entered Mianyang and must strengthen Chengdu's defense force.   Only by sending more troops into Chengdu can we ensure our safety. Now there are only 5,000 Tujia soldiers led by General Qin in Chengdu, and 5,000 Han soldiers. The total force is only 10,000. Although there are more than enough to defend the city,  It's not enough to leave the city. If the bandit army surrounds us outside the city and surrounds us for a year and a half, our place may become the second Xi'an."

    There is nothing wrong with what he said. It is a mature and prudent policy, so Qin Liangyu did not agree with him.refuted, nodded and said: "Well we really need to mobilize more troops and horses into Chengdu. When the rebels arrive, we will have the strength to go out of the city to fight. Otherwise, we can only be trapped in the withered city."

    Hearing that Qin Liangyu also echoed the words of this civil servant, everyone put aside the question of whether the bandit army had food or not, and did not consider it for the time being. An official stood up and said: "In the opinion of the two adults, now it is time to  To mobilize troops, but Mr. Yang Ge took a large number of Sichuan troops to pursue Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. The troops in central Sichuan are already insufficient, so where should we mobilize troops?"

    A civil official said: "Qiang soldiers"

    As soon as he started, Qin Liangyu said: "The Qiang soldiers are no longer available and have been bribed by Zhu Ba."

    Another civil servant said: "Luowangba has strong soldiers"

    Qin Liangyu nodded and said: "This can be recruited. The general has a good relationship with the chieftain of the Zhuang family. If you write a letter, they will definitely come to help. However, their troops are very small. They can only draw two thousand people at most, which is a bit weak."

    "Miao soldiers" someone suggested, and then someone next to him said: "The Miao people do not obey the king's rule. Most Miao villages do not obey the court's orders. At most, there are only two or three Miao tribes who are friendly with us Han people and can give us two or three  Thousands of soldiers are over. This force is still more than enough to defend the city, but not enough to fight."

    At this time, Shao Jiechun suddenly spoke: "In front of Jianmen we still have three thousand Sichuan soldiers there. The general leading the army is Zhang Ling, the second general in central Sichuan. We can't help but let him abandon the pass and return to defend Chengdu."

    Hearing what he said, all the officials in the hall applauded: "General Zhang Ling is a famous general of our Han family. Only with him in Chengdu can we feel at ease. Otherwise, the city will be full of chaotic barbarians. There is no Han family."  The general controls the market. How to get it?"

    "That's it, call General Zhang Ling back quickly!"

    While everyone was shouting, they suddenly heard a loud shout: "No!" The officials looked attentively and saw that it was Qin Liangyu who shouted this.  She said with a dark face: "Jianmen Pass is the northern gateway to the Chengdu Plain. It is extremely important. The defenders must not move, and the old general Zhang Ling's station must not move"

    Shao Jiechun asked curiously: "Why can't they move? Since the rebel army has bypassed Jianmen Pass and appeared in Mianyang, Jianmen Pass has lost its role. Why are you still guarding that place at this time? It's a waste of time for one of my generals in Sichuan. Why not  Bring back the troops there, good steel must be used on the blade"

    Qin Liangyu was anxious: "Although the bandit army has bypassed Jianmen Pass, as I said just now, the Yinping Ancient Road cannot transport food. Jianmen Pass just blocks their food road. This pass still plays an important role and must not be abandoned."  ." She was bringing up old matters again, and the food transportation issue that had just been suppressed was brought to the surface again.

    "Here he comes again, and he says that Yinping cannot transport grain." A civil official disagreed: "As the saying goes, it all depends on people. I think there is no mountain road in the world that cannot transport grain. No matter how dangerous the ancient road in Yinping is, it cannot hinder people's will. Foolish Old Man  Dare to move mountains, Jingwei has the courage to fill the sea, what if the bandit army uses some method to transport food across the Yinping Ancient Road?"

    His words were so loud and upright that several civil servants immediately shouted: "Master Xu said it well! Master Xu is so upright and upright, we are not as good as him!"

    At this time, a young military attache jumped up and said angrily: "What the hell do you civil servants know? What is human-made? It's nonsense. Do you think that as long as you use your brain and say some nonsense like 'man can conquer nature', the food will be gone?"  Have you flown over the rugged mountain road? Do you fucking know how to fight? If you don¡¯t understand, get away!"

    The civil servant was scolded by the military attache, but he was not angry. He took out a fan and unfolded it, and said with a smile: "Vulgar people are full of foul words. If you say something like this, please don't taint the ears of the adults in the hall. It's okay if you don't listen."  .¡±

    "You" the military attache was furious: "The mountain road is rugged and it is difficult for grain trucks to move. This is something that military strategists must consider strategically. Don't use your nonsense that people can defeat nature and everything depends on man. It is of no use in fighting a war."

    At this time, a large group of civil servants stood up one after another. How could these bookish guys understand the difficulty of transporting grain in the mountains? In the minds of these bookworms, they only had some inexplicable and empty theories, and they did not know how to analyze the actual situation.  , a group of civil servants all had the same opinion: "There is no mountain road that cannot transport food. The bandit army can definitely transport food from the Yinping Ancient Road. Jianmen Pass is no longer useful."

    There are no Fuso cartoons these days. If there were, the civil servants would know that what they are saying now is a bit like those plots in cartoons that deceive children. Who's willpower can overcome all difficulties; what enemies can't be defeated?  Don't be afraid, as long as you have justice in your heart, you will definitely be able to defeat; as long as you have love, nothing is a problem

    They have many people and strong power, and they keep talking. After a while, white can be called black, and black can be called white. If they want to say something is white, they can cite scriptures and evidence.Code, list a lot of nonsense to show that this thing is really white.  If they suddenly feel that this thing is black, they can quote scriptures and say a lot of ancient people's words to prove that it is black.

    You must know that many of what the ancients said are in conflict. The key lies in how you understand it, or where you use these words. For example, the ancients said that "man can conquer nature", but at the same time the ancients also said that "human power"  sometimes poor¡±.  It seems that if the ancients who said these two sentences got together, quarrels would be inevitable.

    If you want to prove something, you have to use what the ancients said, then it is really nonsense.

    Qin Liangyu looked at the noisy civil and military officials and couldn't help but feel physically and mentally exhausted. She was already sixty-five years old and was really in no mood to talk nonsense with these guys. Moreover, she had been an official for decades and had experienced all kinds of things in her life.  There were so many things going on, and she was hurt by the quagmire of officialdom, and she was no longer as impulsive as before.

    If it were the young Qin Liangyu, she wouldn't be able to take out a sword and cut down all these nonsense guys, but now she knows that some decisions are really beyond her control. Maybe this is because manpower is sometimes poor.  Bar.

    The quarrel in the hall was heard for a full hour. Finally, Shao Jiechun, the governor of Sichuan, announced loudly: "I have decided to send Zhang Ling, the guard of Jianmen Gate, back to station in Chengdu Ensuring the safety of Chengdu is the top priority.  Heavy¡­¡­"

    A group of officials below responded and said: "Your Excellency is wise"

    Qin Liangyu shook her head, adjusted her armor, straightened her helmet, and slowly left this boring place. The setting sun slanted across her face, and she looked up at the red clouds on the horizon, feeling  The huge Ming Empire is exuding the aura of dying old people

    She couldn't help but sigh: "Da Ming, should I, an old man like me, take the first step, or you?" (To be continued. Mobile phone users please go and read.)
