Li Yin was very surprised when he learned that Cheng Jian had come to surrender. He rushed to the gate of the city. Qin Huaiyu was escorting a hundred people. They are all relatives of the high authorities and the county magistrates, they found the lower officials with the intention of plotting against them, and the lower officials asked the clansmen to arrest them all, Your Highness, please be careful!"
Looking at these people suspiciously, Li Yin felt something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. He said, "Whether you are pretending to cater to the high authority, I will find out myself!"
Li Yin ignored him, went up to the city tower and looked outside the city at the clan members surnamed Cheng who knelt on the ground and kept crying out for Cheng Jian. He said to Qin Huaiyu: "Put Cheng Jian and others into the prison in Yizhou and keep them under strict supervision!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Qin Huaiyu took the order and left. If these were really the leaders of the five surnames, then the rebellion of the famous families in Yizhou could be avoided, and a group of people without a leader would not be able to do much.
The situation in Yizhou was basically stable, Li Yin let go of his hanging heart, turned around and saw Wei Tieniu standing on the city wall like a wooden stake, Li Yin smiled and said: "Tieniu has worked hard for you these two days, the organization is so good. Many people come to guard Yizhou City."
"Your Highness, we are all voluntary. Without you, we would not be able to eat pancakes or drink rice porridge. They all said that His Highness can make us live a better life!" Wei Tieniu said excitedly.
Li Yan looked at these simple people with relief, and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely let you eat and dress warmly, and have some money left to buy some wine!"
After Li Yin finished speaking, the people all laughed.
Outside the city, Chai Lingwu was hiding behind the clansmen of the five surnames. The rest of the dead had just arrived last night. After a night of rest, they let Cheng Jian follow the plan.
At this time, the patriarchs of the five surnames and the people in charge gathered in a dense forest to wait for the signal from Yizhou City. In order to prevent the failure of the plan, Chai Lingwu asked the patriarchs of the five clans to gather the people. Zhoucheng, give it a go.
Yizhou Prison, Cheng Jian and others entered the cell under the **** of the government soldiers. Cold sweat continued to break out on Cheng Jian's forehead.
Gao Quan and other officials were all imprisoned in the innermost cell, and the government soldiers escorted Cheng Jian to also go inside. They were all repeat offenders.
The movement in the cell immediately attracted the attention of the high authority, and he looked at Cheng Jian in disbelief: "You were arrested anyway!"
Cheng Jian didn't speak, but winked again and again. Gao Quan felt that something was wrong, and when he looked behind Cheng Jian, there were people he didn't know, which made him even more strange.
However, at this moment, a group of people who had lowered their heads just now suddenly broke free from the ropes and rushed towards the dozen or so soldiers under escort.
These dead soldiers in the army crawled out of the pile of dead people, and it was easy to deal with these government soldiers who had not experienced the war. In a few breaths, more than a dozen government soldiers lost their lives.
A dead soldier found the key from a mansion soldier, tried a few times, and opened the cell. The movement inside had already attracted the attention of the guards, and there were constant shouts outside, as if they were calling for soldiers.
Taking control of the prison cell so neatly, Cheng Jian happily rushed in, "Inspector Gao, His Royal Highness King Wei sent someone to rescue us!"
"Really?" Gao Quan and the county magistrates all stood up, Gao Yuanzhi said: "Heaven will not perish, my Gao clan!"
At this time, the dead man said: "Cheng Changshi, are you all here? Is there anything missing?"
Several dead soldiers looked at each other, nodded, picked up the weapons of the soldiers and rushed towards Gao Quan, Cheng Jian and the others. Immediately, the screams of dying screams resounded in the prison again.
Completed the task swiftly. A dead man picked up the torch on the wall and threw it in the cell covered with weeds. This was the signal they had agreed with Chai Lingwu. When the task was completed, the cell would be burned and thick smoke would be lit to notify him.
Outside the prison cell, hundreds of government soldiers gathered quickly and began to fight the dead soldiers at the door. Chai Lingwu did not send all the dead soldiers here. There were only fifty dead soldiers out of a hundred people, and the rest were from the Cheng family. tribe.
Although the dead soldiers were all extremely brave, they were no opponents at all against the soldiers who formed a battle formation, and they were all blocked in the cell.
The fire burned bigger and bigger, and the dead men at the door kept falling down, and they could hardly stand it anymore. The leading dead man in the cell stabbed every official. After confirming that there were no survivors, he put the knife across On his own neck, he pulled it hard, and the blood spattered three feet.
The officials lying on the ground were all terrified with their eyes wide open. How could they think that the plan Chai Lingwu gave them was actually a complete conspiracy, a conspiracy that led them to death.
Thick smoke began to float into the air from the prison cell, and rose vertically to the sky, making it visible to the entire Yizhou city. On the tower, Qin Huaiyu was shocked when he saw the direction of the smoke, and was about to lead his troops there. The members of the Cheng clan who were still crying suddenly rushed towards the city gate with shouts, and behind them, more people with various weapons appeared, densely filling the mountains and fields.
Qin Huaiyu looked at these people and realized that he had been fooled by Cheng Jian. He was anxious and annoyed, and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"
Chai Lingwu in the dense forest looked at the black smoke in the city and put a smile on his mouth. This time the mission was completed. As for these stupid people of the five surnames, let them fight Li Yin to the death.
"General Chai, our people have already rushed, where are your soldiers?" The clansmen of the five surnames had already rushed to the gate of the city.
"My soldiers? Aren't they all behind me?"
"Where is it? Isn't it just these fifty people?"
"That's right, just fifty!"
Gao Quan's father suddenly changed his face, "General Chai, what do you mean? Didn't you say that there are two thousand troops?"
"Of course I lied to you!"
"You...you..." The patriarchs of the five clans and the people in charge looked at Chai Lingwu angrily, while Chai Lingwu looked leisurely and said with a cruel smile: "It's time to send you on your way, kill!"
The dead soldiers pulled out their weapons upon hearing the words. These people were all older members of the clan, and some of them even needed help to walk. To deal with these people, the dead soldiers didn't spend much effort, cutting these people like melons and vegetables. All the people were killed, but the clansmen of the five surnames who rushed to Yizhou City continued to attack the city gate, unaware that all the venerables in their clan fell into a pool of blood.
Looking at the densely packed people of the five surnames below the city, Qin Huaiyu also felt his scalp tingle. After all, it was his first time commanding such a defensive battle.
There are four gates in Yizhou City, and the government soldiers are scattered. There are not many people at any of the city gates, and the patrols occupy some government soldiers, so there are only 400 people at this city gate. The soldiers of the gate came here to support, but in the face of the impact of so many people, the gate does not know how long it can last.
Wei Tieniu was also a little anxious, he said: "Brothers, follow me down to hold the city gate!", and prepared to go down, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound of rumbling horseshoes.
