Yang Zhan took the lead and wished he could fly to Chengdu. Ma Lanlan knew that he was worried, so she asked her mother to let Yang Zhan and his brothers go first so that they could report the news to Chengdu. She led the army with her mother, regaining the lost ground and marching towards Chengdu.

Advance.

Qin Liangyu nodded in agreement, and ordered Malanlan to station troops outside Niutou Town, preparing to break this hard nut, and then regain Xindu in one fell swoop and whip up Chengdu.

Yang Zhan led Fei Xiaojin and Shuai Yuanhong on flying horses to the north gate of Chengdu. It was already dawn, and in the distance they could see a dense darkness. The rebels surrounded the city like iron barrels, and the people were driven out to dig fortifications and rush to build ladders and dry boats.

, people and horses neighing everywhere.

It seemed that they were still preparing to attack the city, so Yang Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.

The three abandoned their horses and mingled with the people. Yang Zhan looked around and took a clear look at the rebels' formation outside the north gate. Just as they were about to find a way to enter the city, a tall and round rebel general came galloping with a small group of cavalry.

He is said to be She Yin, the son of She Chongming.

Shuai Yuanhong took out a homemade pocket fire gun from his arms and waved his hand to shoot him. Yang Zhan pressed his right hand in time: "For a long-term plan, we must enter the city as soon as possible!"

Sheyin's Ma Kankan came to them. The three of them had nothing to hide. Their expressions changed. Yang Zhan shouted: Escape! The three disappeared without a trace. Sheyin was shocked and kept beating the crowd, looking for the three.

A man with strange movements.

They had nothing to do at the North Gate, so they went to the South Gate. This was where they usually went in and out of Chengdu. They were very familiar with it, but they were still surrounded.

The rebels claimed to number one hundred thousand, but the defenders who rushed back to Chengdu from the surrounding areas were less than two thousand, so the walls were silent and the gates were closed.

Even so, it will take some time for She Chongming to attack Chengdu. The impregnable city wall has been strengthened and perfected by thirteen generations of Shu kings, forming a pattern of double walls and double moats. Even if they attack, they will never be able to enter.

Get the palace of the King of Shu.

For Yang Zhan and others, it is not difficult to enter the city. Jinjiang River comes out from the south gate, and Jinjiang River is their entry and exit channel.

The three of them were about half a mile away from the south gate. When no one was prepared, they jumped into the Jinjiang River and swam like fish into the inner city of the south gate. When they got out of the water, Liu Jiankuan was already waiting there.

Yang Zhan immediately asked: "Where is the master? Where is senior brother Pingxi?"

"They are waiting for you at Wangjiang Tower. There are too few defenders in the city, and I don't know how many reinforcements there are outside the city."

A group of people rushed to Wangjiang Tower. The teahouses upstairs and downstairs were full. Rich people, dignitaries, merchants, hawkers, monks and Taoist priests all gathered here. When the world was at peace, this was a breeding ground for entertainment and gossip; whenever a war broke out, this place was a breeding ground for entertainment and gossip.

It is also a place where information from all directions gathers.

After seeing his master, Yang Zhan said to Pingqi: "Brother, please report to the King of Shu quickly. My mother-in-law and Lan Lan have led 10,000 white-armed soldiers to Xindu. They will arrive in Chengdu tonight at the latest to relieve the siege!"

Pingxi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great!"

Before the people who came to the palace to deliver the message had left, the news that Qin Liangyu's white-armed soldiers had arrived in the new capital exploded with joy upstairs and downstairs!

Yang Zhan told his master about his thoughts along the way. After getting Ge Bao's consent, he said to many tea guests: "Although there are foreign aids, we people in the city must work together to defend against the enemy. All young and old gentlemen, those who are willing to join the fight will stay.

, If you want to go home and guard the gate, please leave quickly. We will gather people here to join the defense of the city."

Wow, the tea seat was almost empty. Fei Xiaojin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This is a typical Sichuan person. Usually he brags to the sky, but at critical moments he just keeps it busy."

Pingxi also sighed: "Don't talk about these ordinary people, even the princes and counties who usually enjoy all the glory. As soon as they heard that Chengdu was besieged, they quickly took their whole family to hide in the Prince of Shu's Mansion. The most annoying thing is that even the servants

Brought it in."

Ge Bao consoled: "It's no wonder, we in Sichuan haven't had a war for more than two hundred years, and even the guards everywhere have fled, let alone them who are well-dressed and well-fed! It's okay, the King of Shu has them with him, no matter what

alone."

Yang Zhan asked: "Who is commanding the defense of the city now?"

Pingxi replied: "The chief envoy Zhu Xieyuan and the patrol censor Xue Puzheng separated their positions and defended them. They said they were defending, but in fact there were no soldiers to defend them. Two thousand soldiers were scattered at eighteen city gates. As you can imagine

."

Shuai Yuanhong interjected: "This won't work. We just saw that the rebels were very well prepared for the siege. They built a lot of ladders, and there is also a Lu Gong chariot, also called a land boat, which is said to have been invented by She Yin. It is hidden in the forest outside the city.

It’s tall and big, I don’t know what kind of monster it is.”

After Ge Bao heard this, he quickly urged Yang Zhan: "Tell everyone what you think and hurry up and get ready!"

Yang Zhan said: "We will not interfere with the official arrangements for the time being. When we gather all the troops, we will notify them to defend the city together, and we will cooperate with my mother-in-law, Lan Lan and others in the city to beat the rebels."

Then the arrangements were made: "Master, please join me in the responsibility of notifying the temples and Taoist temples in the city, so that monks and Taoists with martial arts skills can come as soon as possible; Brother Pingxi, you are responsible for notifying the rich children who usually learn martial arts and hunting with you, and invite them to come hunting with you;

Xiaojin, I know you have funded many river and lake tours

Xia, send a message and see how many can come; Yuanhong, your group of fire gun enthusiasts should be in the city, you can organize a fire gun team; Jian Kuan, the master's letter said that you have recruited a group of servants

, it should come in handy this time. These people must gather here within three hours!"

When Wangjiang Tower was brightly lit, people from all walks of life had gathered neatly.

The knights and knights in the rivers and lakes have strange shapes and weapons; the monks and Taoists are unpredictable and have a lot of time to deal with; the rich kids are riding a BMW and the dogs are barking and the horses are neighing, as if they are going to hunt; the most organized team is Shuai Yuanhong's fire musket team, each man has a handsome Yuanhong special

Make firecrackers.

Du Liu Jiankuan was the polished commander. He smiled mysteriously and said, "My team has been arranged according to the master's instructions. You just have to wait and see the results."

Yang Zhan knew very well that a group of dragons still needed a leader, so he spoke without hesitation: "Everyone here, you always attach importance to the word "righteousness" in your daily actions. Loyalty to the emperor, protecting the people, and protecting the home and country are righteousness! Today, we are not doing this for the sake of my master and my brothers.

We gather together to defend Chengdu and our homeland! Since I, Yang Zhan, have been trusted by everyone, please listen to my instructions and do your duty! The most powerful person in Chengdu now is you, and everyone must be at the forefront.

Front."

One of the Jianghu knights yelled: "I didn't say it before, but I'm not from Sichuan. If Sichuan is in trouble, I still want to help!"

Everyone clapped in agreement and expressed their support for Yang Zhan.

Next, they planned to disrupt each team and assign them to eighteen city gates. After the arrangements were made, they all rushed to the gates they were responsible for. Ge Bao took Yang Zhan's brothers and followed Pingxi into the Prince of Shu's palace.

Deep in the bamboo forest below Wangjiang Tower, there was a young man leading a tall horse, watching all this coldly. He was Zhang Xianzhong who had left and returned.

After robbing Yang Zhan's horse, he still couldn't let go of Yu Zhen. He rode back into Chengdu, but never saw Yu Zhen again. Both She Chongming and Yang Zhan were people he hated. Seeing how powerful both parties were,

It is also a pleasure to sit on a mountain and watch tigers fight.

After the crowd dispersed, Xianzhong entered an inn next to Wangjiang Tower and said to the boss: "I am a knight. I have just accepted the task of guarding Chengdu here. Can I stay and eat at your hotel for one night? I will be at the south gate tomorrow morning.

Defend the city?”

The boss readily agreed: "No problem, the hero just wants to eat and drink" and immediately arranged for him to move in.

After Xianzhong ate and drank enough, he went to sleep with his pillow glued to his pillow. He got up in the middle of the night to urinate. Seeing the bright lights in the boss's room, he was a little curious and leaned in. He only heard the boss say: "Master Tusi, ah no, Prince Liang's family is small.

I have moved into Shaocheng to hide, and will be reunited when the city is invaded. Today, you must inform the young prince about the gang gathering to defend the city, so that he can make preparations in advance."

Another person replied: "I will tell the young prince when I go back right away, but the prince said that to protect the young prince, you must also protect the singing Yuzhen. He has not enjoyed it fully yet."

"I know, I know, I will make arrangements tomorrow morning."
