Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Because of Mi Bazi, the Empress Dowager Xuan, the Mi family is also a big family in Qin State, especially after Mi Chen became Xiangbang, the limelight has never been better.

But Mi Bao thinks that even if he doesn't look at his background, he is worthy of his elder brother Mi Chen's recommendation.

After Mi Bao took office, he first led the residents of Liyang City through the first year of production reduction difficulties, and then led the residents of Liyang City to resume production in the second year.

Seeing that this is already the third year, and the millet has been planted in patches. According to the reports of the subordinate officials, the growth of the millet is quite satisfactory, and it is very hopeful that there will be a bumper harvest, and it will even surpass the best years in the past few years. scene.

This is a real achievement!

Mi Leopard is very confident, as long as it's time to plan in autumn, his own contribution will definitely be indispensable.

At that time, as long as you go to the elder brother Mi Chen for activities, then promotion will be a matter of minutes.

So Mi Leopard is looking forward to the stars and the moon, so he looks forward to the early autumn.

As a result, I didn't look forward to autumn, but I looked forward to Zhao Guoren.

When Mi Leopard saw the big banner with the word "Li" outside the city, his whole heart felt chilled.

Needless to say, Mi Leopard knows that Li Mu, the evil star of Zhao Guo who poisoned the land of Guanzhong two years ago, is back again!

Mi Leopard almost wanted to scold her.

With so many troops in Beidi County and Shang County, all the troops stationed in Xianyang have disappeared. Why didn't anyone stop this evil star who killed thousands of swords?

Also, why has it been so many days, and there is still no sign of reinforcements from Liyang City?

Even if you start from Xianyang, you should have arrived long ago! !

No one can answer Mi Leopard's question, because Liyang City has been completely blocked, and the channel of news transmission has been completely gone.Not to mention people, even a bird can't fly through the encirclement circle of Zhao Guoren.

This kind of helpless experience is actually very bad. It will slowly wear down people's will, and make everyone gradually become depressed and grumpy.

Mi Leopard's temper is very violent now.

Especially after hearing that troubles began to appear in the city, and some people even took the opportunity to kill and rob, Mi Leopard's patience was completely exhausted, and he began to call the defending general Xiang Cheng.

"You immediately send people to the streets, catch all these damned thugs, and then kill them all!"

As a county guard, Mi Bao actually has no right to dictate to the guard.

But if the guard Xiangcheng himself belonged to the retainer of the Mi clan and was specially sent by Xiangbang Michen to assist Mi Bao, things would naturally be completely different.

In just a few days, a large number of "thugs" were arrested, and the prisons in the entire Liyang City were filled with people. Hundreds of human heads hung high above the entrance of the vegetable market, which was a spectacular sight.

Looking at these heads, Mi Bao felt a lot more relieved, and felt that the depression in his heart was swept away.

But soon, new problems appeared again.

During this big raid, some officers and soldiers seized the opportunity to falsely accuse and arrest those who had grudges in the past, and at the same time blackmailed or even robbed rich families from time to time. Complaints abound.

But faced with the sufferers who came to complain, Mi Leopard also had a very headache, so he had to say a few excuses first, such as saying that the official is a post official and cannot interfere with military affairs, but he must tell the words of the second and third sons to General, let the general severely punish the criminals, and return everyone to be fair and just.

Mi Leopard actually knew very well why this happened.

Qin's military resources are insufficient.

You must know that the main source of Qin soldiers has always been Guanzhong.

The people in Guanzhong are brave and brave, and they are all native Qin people. Both their combat effectiveness and loyalty are far superior to other places, such as Bashu soldiers or Hedong soldiers. Therefore, the Qin army has always been composed of Guanzhong soldiers as the main backbone.

But the problem is that when Qin State suffered several consecutive defeats under Zhao State and lost a large number of soldiers because of this, the source of soldiers in Guanzhong began to be somewhat scarce.

The state of Qin had to relax the requirements for recruiting soldiers. Not only did they recruit many people from Bashu and Shangjun of Beidi County, but they also recruited a large number of criminals and prisoners into the army to form the prisoner army.

Stationed in Liyang City is such an army composed of half county soldiers and half prisoner troops, with a total of [-] troops.

It is not surprising that such a scumbag army can do blackmail, blackmail and selfish revenge.

Sometimes Mi Leopard even wondered if the guys who picked quarrels in the city at the beginning also had these prisoner troops in there, but no evidence was found.

If it wasn't for the obvious lack of siege weapons for the cavalry of Zhao Jun who came from afar, Liyang City would have been breached by such a team with corrupt military discipline alone defending the city.

But Mi Leopard felt that, after all, the enemy was now, and it would be bad if dealing with those guys caused the prisoner army to mutiny.

So Mi Leopard suppressed these matters for the time being, and prepared to wait until Zhao Guoren retreated before making any calculations.

Speaking of which, this time Lord Wu'an Baiqi took most of the soldiers of the Qin army who were still capable of fighting to Hedong. Apart from the tens of thousands of elites staying in Xianyang, the defenders in other cities probably also It is almost the same as Liyang City, but the quality is uneven.

This morning, someone suddenly reported to Mibao who was handling official business, saying that Xu Yang, the prisoner military academy lieutenant, had a secret military situation and asked to see him.

"What is he doing here?" Mi Leopard frowned. Xu Yang himself is a gangster second generation ancestor. It was only because someone in his family became an official of a certain size in Xianyang that he was able to get into the school of a prisoner army. Wei.

Moreover, this person was also disrespectful among the prisoner army. According to the testimonies of many big households in the city, Xu Yang might secretly connive at the soldiers of the prisoner army to plunder in the city, and even shared the loot among them.

When this war is over, Mi Leopard will be the first to deal with this Xu Yang.

But no matter what, now Xu Yang can be regarded as the most important person in the city after all, so after a moment of hesitation, Mi Bao met Xu Yang in the study.

Xu Yang is a man about 40 years old. He is a big man in Guanzhong, but his eyes are small and pointed. It is the so-called deer-headed mouse eyes. hate.

As soon as Xu Yang opened his mouth, he said, "City guard, something is wrong!"

Mi Leopard looked at the anxious Xu Yang, couldn't help but snorted coldly, and said, "Why panic, just talk about it!"

Xu Yang rubbed his hands, looked left and right, and suddenly said in a low voice: "City guard, there should be no one eavesdropping here?"

Mi Leopard originally looked down on Xu Yang, but now seeing Xu Yang's behavior, the anger in his heart rose even more, and he said coldly: "What's the matter, just tell me!"

Xu Yang looked around and said in a low voice: "City Guard, I just heard from my subordinates that Xiangcheng is going to surrender to Zhao Jun!"

Chapter 553 The Shocking Change in Liyang (First Change)

"What, there is such a thing? Impossible!" When Mi Leopard heard Xu Yang's report, a turbulent wave suddenly set off in his heart.

One must know that Xiang Cheng is an old retainer of the Mi clan. Xiang Cheng's ancestors have served the Mi clan for hundreds of years. How could such a retainer choose to betray?

Almost instantly, Mi Bao locked his eyes on Xu Yang.

Xu Yang must be lying and falsely accusing Xiang Cheng!

Mi Leopard's gaze gradually became unfriendly.

Xu Yang can be regarded as a fine person, so why can't Mi Leopard's doubts be seen?Immediately said: "City guard, I am not making a false accusation, I have someone to testify!"

"Witness?" Mi Leopard was taken aback when he heard the words: "Who?"

"Xiang Zhong!" Xu Yang replied, "It was Xiang Zhong who came to report, so we came to report to the city guard."
