On the night of Liu Wu's seizure of Kaocheng, he chose 800 light horsemen, led by himself and Linghu, and detoured to the important place of Dong'a, and even held a torch and traveled 60 miles in one night, and came straight to Yuncheng.

Li Shigu, whose information is not timely, has not reacted so far, and is still looking forward to Liu Yanping's return in the military government.

In normal times, Liu Wu and Linghu's 800 cavalry, the men and horses were silent, and when they encountered the checkpoint, they showed Li Shigu's sticker brought by Liu Yanping, which was unimpeded, and they had arrived at the west gate of Yuncheng at sunrise.

There were still bonfires burning under the city, and many men and even women sent by Li Shigu were digging moats day and night under the supervision of military officials, and building sheep and horse walls to be prepared.

At the fence of the castle at the head of the city, the guards were sleeping crookedly with their weapons, and when they heard the neighing of war horses, only a few guards stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?" Who is the general? ”

Liu Wu and Ling Huzao wore robes over their armor, so as not to be recognized, and the first few cavalrymen replied: "Liu Dutou has returned to the military palace with the post of the marshal." ”

At this time, at the protruding horse-faced hook railing of the tower, a drum horn general got up, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the large group of cavalry below, "Who is Liu Dutou?" ”

At this time, Liu Wu lifted the robe, and when the drum horn saw that it was indeed him, he said: "Please Liu Dutou write the original story on the bamboo slip, hang it to me with a bamboo basket, and then I will go to tell the festival commander in person." ”

"There are no bamboo slips, but there are iron knives and bee guns!" Liu Wu suddenly shouted.

The two horsemen on the left and right immediately raised their bee guns, and the fire and noise were loud, knocking down an unfortunate gatekeeper in front of them, and then the horses rushed and trampled, and the rest of the guards immediately fled, and several of them fell into the water of the moat in a panic.

"Rush in, kill Li Shigu and Li Shidao brothers, and the rest of the people don't ask!" Liu Wu drew his sword, and the cavalry shouted, urging the horses one after another, following behind the prison gatekeepers who were rolling and climbing, and swarming into the Luo City Gate of Yuncheng.

Soon, the entire Luocheng of Yuncheng was full of shouting and roaring tremors.

The structure of the city of Yuncheng, similar to the city of Bianzhou, is divided into three, the outermost is Luocheng, mainly the barracks, the dwellings, the square market, the temple and other buildings, the inside is called the sub-city, the area where the guards are concentrated and guarded, and it is also the government office, the official house, the military government is located, and the inner one is called the tooth city, which is also the last place of refuge of the festival. Soon, Liu Wu's cavalry and the Yuncheng defenders who came to echo (I don't know what happened, just follow the loud one) gathered in Luocheng, and soon the dense chaos of soldiers approached Zicheng, many people along the lower wall of the city, climbed in, Li Shigu raised hundreds of tooth soldiers, holding bows and arrows and bee guns, running around like headless flies, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Liu Wu's son, Liu Congji, and the same party's group of Confucius, Bei Song, and Ya soldiers climbed the high-rise building of Zicheng and shouted: "Those who abandon the staff will not be killed." ”

In the Zicheng Military Mansion, there was a chaotic scene, Li Shigu walked back to the inner bed with a pale face, and said to his wife Pei: "Most of the people in the military government have been picked up by Liu Wu and rebelled against me. I want to take refuge in the imperial court and go to Chang'an to visit the Son of Heaven, it is Liu Wu's rebellion, an unforgivable crime of rebellion! ”

"Husband, what's the use of talking about this now?" Pei burst into tears.

"It doesn't matter if I die, you are the granddaughter of Pei Mian Xianggong, you must stay useful and avenge me in the future. I'll go to Yacheng at once and keep the door closed, and you're going to escape and hide in the giant wilderness. ”

At this moment, Li Shidao pushed open the door, almost climbed in, and when he saw his brother, he exclaimed, "It's over, it's over, our Pinglu Li family is completely finished!" ”

Li Shigu pushed Pei away very calmly, gave him a "take care" look, and then strode forward, grabbed Li Shidao's clothes, and asked, "I conspired with you that day, did you leak it out?" ”

"I only told my wife and concubine that I would sell my land and property and pack my luggage." Li Shidao wanted to cry without tears.

"It's not a pity to die if you reach a woman!" was so angry that Li Shigu opened his bow left and right, and criticized Li Shidao's cheek back and forth.

After the fight, Li Shidao covered his face and said to his brother: "Liu Wu and the rebellious generals, their wives and parents are all hostages in the military palace, and they are coerced to enter Yacheng together. ”

Li Shigu nodded, and then the two brothers rushed out of the inner bed with their swords in hand, and ran along the corridor to the house where the hostages were held with more than a dozen tooth soldiers, that is, the two cousins Hu Weikan who had come to rendezvous.

Before he had walked ten steps, he saw Hu Weikan, a house slave, holding Li Shidao's two sons, Hongfang and Ming'an, as well as Wei, Yuan, and Pu who were wearing a cape, holding a soft package, followed by a large group of hostages who rushed out, and were rushing out of the door.

When Li Shidao saw this scene, he only felt that the world was spinning, and pointed his sword at Hu Weikan and scolded: "Yongnu, you coerce my wife and concubine son, and you also broke the lock and let go of the hostages in the house, what do you want!" ”

When Hu saw Li Shidao, he shouted as he ran: "Your brother's death is coming, why bother your family?" Don't worry, your wife and concubine son, I will dedicate it to Liu Dutou for you, and you will be well taken care of, don't worry. ”

Only then did Li Shidao understand, "It turned out that you sold me?" ”

Li Shigu pushed Li Shidao away, gritted his teeth, held a bee gun in his hand, and was about to shoot at Hu Weikan.

Li Shidao stepped forward, hugged his brother's arm, and cried, "I'm afraid I will kill my son by mistake." ”

"You think you're going to be spared?" Li Shigu scolded his younger brother for being incompetent.

At this time, the city gate of Zicheng shouted loudly: Liu Congji, Wang Zaisheng, etc., poured in with a large number of rebels, took the hostages, and Li Shidao's wife, concubine and son, and then bows and arrows and firebolts rained down, hitting the columns, beams and debris flying wildly, and there was a sound, so that several cyan sparrows flew up from the courtyard wall and the shade of the trees, wailing and circling for several weeks before flying away from the military palace - Li Shigu saw that the general trend had gone, so he had to retreat into the tooth city.

When Liu Wu ran to the military palace, all the generals came to celebrate his return, "The high palace master only needs the head of Li Shigu's brother, how can he have it?" Liu Wu scolded angrily, and then said, "Give me the siege that night, if the high palace master comes, and the Yacheng has not been taken, I will inevitably die." ”

At this time, Linghu made a suggestion and said: "Yacheng is small and solid, if you pile up firewood, pour fire oil, surround and burn, there are buildings, houses, and buildings in the city, and most of them are wood, so Li Shigu brothers are like rats in a bag." ”

Liu Wu agreed, and in addition, he called his son Liu Congzhi and instructed: "When the city is broken, none of the Li brothers will be allowed to stay alive......"

Liu Congzhi nodded.

After nightfall, thousands of Ping Lu troops shouted, pushed the leather carts full of dry firewood one by one, and then connected them with chains, poured fire oil and lit them, and the flames that rushed to the sky were raging, entangled the Yacheng with a length and width of only 100 steps, and the smoke forced Li Shigu's subordinates to stand at the head of the city - then Liu Congzhi led more than 100 warriors, covered their faces with wet wipes, stepped on the well railing car, forced to climb the city wall, and entered it.
