Newspapers are the position of public opinion and must be occupied. This is an important task assigned by the Society of Renyi.

There is another reason why Luo Sheng's reputation has soared. He is doing charity. For this reason, he got the nickname Luo Dashanren.

He really did charity. He built a long street of shacks on the Jiuyan Bridge outside the south gate to accommodate the victims.

Dozens of large pots are constantly cooking porridge, but it is still a drop in the bucket.

This year's drought is so serious that there will be no summer grain harvest. It seems that the autumn grain harvest will also be greatly missed. It is really difficult to survive, and more and more people are fleeing the famine.

Luo Sheng decided to go to Jiuyan Bridge and called Wang Cheng and a few bodyguards. As soon as he went out, he met the second lady returning.

"Brother Luo, Brother Wang, where are you going?"

As he walked away, Luo Sheng said, "Second Miss, I am your Uncle Luo. Don't get me wrong about my seniority."

"Brother Wang Cheng is not much older than me. My name is Brother Wang Cheng. You and Wang Cheng are brothers. I call you Brother Luo. What's wrong?"

Luo Sheng knew her little thoughts. Not to mention the big age difference, even Luo Sheng didn't like her at all.

If he hadn't been using him as a cover, it would have been difficult for Luo Sheng to pay attention to her.

It was time for the Fourth Young Master to win over to the Renyi Society. To this end, he asked his men to contact the Fourth Young Master and "abduct" the Fourth Young Master to the Renyi Society in the name of studying.

I heard that Mr. Luo was going to visit the victims outside the city, and the second lady also wanted to go with him.

Arriving outside the city, the people fleeing the famine were really miserable. Although a bowl of porridge could save their lives, the work sheds were obviously not enough. People were sitting in the open air regardless of the number of people. This was a drought and there was no rain. What if it started to rain?

Shit and urine are everywhere here, and flies are flying everywhere. Once a plague develops, no one can escape.

What to do! Luo Sheng was at his wits' end and reported the situation to the government countless times. Except for sending some food at the beginning, there was nothing left.

Governor Zhao Xun came to inspect several times, but all he said was good words, but no actual actions were taken. Even when he conferred the title of Charity Envoy to Luo Sheng, he didn't know how big it was.

Because porridge is constantly being given here and there are many pots, victims from other places are running here.

The place is overcrowded.

The second young lady said she was afraid of these victims, so she held Luo Desheng's hand tightly. Luo Desheng tried to break away but was frightened, so he stopped trying and left her alone.

"No one else does these thankless things, so why are you so eager to do them?" the second lady asked.

"Wherever you can earn money, it's a life. You can't watch everyone starving to death."

"I think your thoughts are the same as those of the Renyi Society. You have stayed in Qingxi for so long and done the same things as the Renyi Society."

The speaker had no intention of listening, but the listener had the intention. Rhodes was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

I look too much like a member of the Renyi Club, so I need to change it.

"What are you talking about? If I don't do this, something will happen and the Renyi Society will take advantage of me. What will you do then?"

Thinking of her father, the second young lady was filled with concern again.

In the past few months, through the caravan from the Yuan Dynasty, Rhodes brought them funds and letters.

After Yang Yi'an and Bao Sanniang parted ways, most of Yang Yi'an's people ran back to Bao Sanniang. Fortunately, Luo Desheng gave Yang Yi'an a gun when he left. With this gun, he killed several groups of small bandits, and some desperadoes came to join the group.

There are more than one hundred people.

Now Yang Yi'an and Bao Sanniang are not in a superior-subordinate relationship. For the common interests, they have formed an alliance to rob together, kidnap together, and share the stolen goods together.

Two villages were also captured as strongholds.

Ying Jing Tianquan's brother Pao was ready to join forces to drive these two people away, but just as they had finished, the Renyi Society arrived.

There was a bloody storm as soon as it came, and the local tyrants and evil gentry were driven away in all directions.

Now they formed the Yazhou Alliance Army to compete with the Tongren Rebel Army. Bao Sanniang and Yang Yi'an joined the Alliance Army and were also accepted by the local bandit Pao Ge.

With so many hungry people gathered together, something will happen sooner or later. Renyi Society has secretly sent some people to organize it. It remains to be seen how effective it will be.

The fall of Yazhou Prefecture shocked the imperial court. Governor Zhao Xunji was removed from his post, and his brother Zhao Feng took over as acting governor.

It's just that Zhao Feng is leading his troops as far away as Hualinping in Luding, and the official road through Qingxi and Yingjing is blocked. The only route is through Danba, Xiaojin and Wenchuan to Guanxian and back to Rongdu.

The road is a bit long and it will take time to return to Chengdu. But this is the only way.

Jiajiang City.

Jiajiang City has been completely besieged, and all kinds of siege equipment are being intensively produced.

This means that the chariots and horses are about to attack Jiajiang.

Jiajiang City was shocked three times a day, and the magistrate was now standing on the city wall observing the Renyi Army in the distance.

Jiajiang City cannot be lost. Once Jiajiang City is lost, the Renyi Army will be like a torrent rushing straight into Leshan. The previously deployed defense lines will be ineffective.

The morale of the officers and soldiers is now extremely low, and there are even many deserters.

Trebuchets and various cannons have been set up outside the city.

The Renyi army was galloping outside the city, and various trenches were built to shorten the attack distance.

The magistrate asked the state capital for reinforcements. Where would the state capital get the troops now?

The front line of the Qingyi River must also strengthen its defense, otherwise once the Qingyi River is breached, it will directly threaten Jiazhou.

Furthermore, we must be on guard against the fact that the Renyi Army is attacking from the east and attacking in the west, and is attacking fiercely in Jiajiang, just to allow us to withdraw from the Qingyi River and make our defense line slightly weaker, so we can cross the river immediately.

Another important point is that a defense line should be set up along the mountain in Mianzhupu, north of Leshan City, which can not only serve as a peripheral barrier for Leshan, but also provide support for Jiajiang.

But what about people? Where do people come from?

Mr. Yue Zelin, the aide to the prefecture, made a suggestion and transferred 500 people and several hundred regiments of An Gu's new army back to Leshan and deployed them in Mianzhupu. This group of people was an important force.

"If this army is transferred back, wouldn't Angu and Xiba be handed over to the Renyi Army?" the prefect said.

"Sir, it's a pity to lose Angu and Xiba, but our troops stationed there only play an occupation role and have little impact on the overall situation. It just increases some tax revenue. Although it is a pity to give it to Renyi Society, it can consolidate the

Jiazhou's defense.

Sir, as long as Leshan County in Jiazhou does not fall, you can be your official. If it does, you will become an outcast. Even if you don't behead, your official will be dead. Why bother?

You see, just because the governor lost Yazhou Mansion, he even lost his official title. He still has to be escorted back to Beijing for trial.

As long as your government is in good shape, you may become a hero in protecting the country.

Also ask Bai Weifeng to find out about Renyi Society."

After comprehensive consideration, the prefect felt that this plan was feasible, so he immediately notified Angu's troops and immediately built fortifications on Mianzhupu Mountain.

Xia Ping didn't want to attack Jiajiang, which would go against Xia Ping's policy of occupying the vast countryside.

The reason for the posture of attacking Jiajiang was to mobilize the enemies in Shou'an Valley on the south bank of the Dadu River, attack from the east and attack from the west, and occupy the south bank of the Dadu River.
