Chapter 662: Du Te's brain is not enough
No matter how unbelievable it is, it can't change the iron-clad facts, Qiu Xinggong really entered the city easily and quickly.
After listening to Liu Dewei's explanation, Wu Yuanqing almost dropped his jaw, Qiu Xinggong didn't attack the city much, so he took a posture and shot a few rounds of arrows at each other, and then divided his troops to kill all the way to the West City Gate, and then the West City Gate opened wide to let them enter the city unimpeded.
Why did the West City Gate open widely, and how did Qiu Xinggong know that the West City Gate was wide open?
It turned out that Yin Hongzhi's gang of rabble was not popular at all in Qizhou, not only did the people hate them, but even few officials in various departments were close to them.
In addition, the current Tang Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, the military is strong, and the surrounding countries of Siyi have basically been swept away by the Tang Dynasty, the country is unprecedentedly strong, and the emperor is wise and martial, whether it is to the court or the place, whether it is control or deterrence, it is the strongest time, at this time to rebel, people who don't have enough brains will basically not be so stupid to find death.
Therefore, there are only a few shrimp soldiers and crabs guarding the huge city of Qizhou, and the officials in the city heard that Yin Hongzhi and these people rebelled and locked the city gate to resist Wang Shi, and they were all frightened and panicked, for fear that they would bury these grandchildren.
Last night, when Licheng was attacked, some well-informed officials took advantage of the night to quietly buy the soldiers guarding the city to escape from the city wall by hanging ropes, some dragged their families with them, and some simply left their wives and children and slipped away by themselves.
Anyway, many officials themselves are not locals, just their wives and children are around, and they escape, at most their wives and children may be killed, if they don't escape, they are considered accomplices by the imperial court, that is basically the three clans or the nine clans, that is, the relatives and friends of the whole clan will suffer with them, weigh the pros and cons or escape by themselves.
This is well-informed, ill-informed, it was only known this morning when the rebels were chased and killed and fled back to the city, and these people were not willing to rebel with Yin Hongzhi, whose brains were kicked by a donkey, so when Yin Hongzhi, Yan Hongxin, and Yan Hongliang were all arranging to defend the city on the city wall, these officials and the big families in the city hurriedly connected with each other and communicated with each other.
These people are quite capable, especially the influence of the big families in the city on the people is amazing, the soldiers who defend the city are basically local to or around Qizhou, and the officials and big families can easily find the people they can influence, and they don't need to be lured by glory and wealth, but they simply know the benefits and win the hearts of many soldiers who defend the city.
If it weren't for the fear that it would arouse the vigilance of Yin Hongzhi and others, these people would have easily taken down all the other city gates, and it would never be just one west gate.
After making preparations, these people sent people out of the West Gate to send a letter to Qiu Xinggong, Qiu Xinggong saw that the three melons, two dates, shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the city also knew what kind of birds the rebels were, so they didn't doubt him at all, and directly divided the troops and sent hundreds of people to kill the West Gate.
It is not far from what Wu Yuanqing thinks, but Qiu Xinggong did not attack the other city gates at all, and the people of the West Gate were directly opened, not only were they opened, but when hundreds of people entered from the West Gate, there were also city officials waiting there to guide the location and deployment of the rebels.
In fact, it is useless to refer to it or not, because when it was learned that Qiu Xinggong's men and horses had entered the city, whether they were willing to rebel or not, all the rebels collapsed anyway, and directly threw down their weapons, took off their cloth armor and leather armor, and threw away all the things that could show their identity anyway, and then fled in a hurry.
"Damn, what kind of rebellion this Nima has made, it's a farce at all." Wu Yuanqing scolded with a smile.
"Ahem." Liu Dewei rolled his eyes when he heard this, cured his cough, and listened to Wu Yuanqing's words, as if he thought that these people who rebelled were not strong enough and did not resist strong enough: "Wu Hou is cautious."
"Good, good, cautious, cautious." Wu Yuanqing didn't bother to explain to Liu Dewei that he didn't mean anything else, so he honestly shut up and stopped talking nonsense.
"Wuhou, shouldn't we also enter the city, in case Qiu Xinggong catches the King of Qi and it will be unfavorable to the King of Qi." Liu Dewei said again.
"Don't worry, Qiu Xinggong can't catch King Qi. But it's good to go into the city and take a look, maybe Yin Hongzhi and Yan Hongxin have been caught." Wu Yuanqing said with a smile.
Seeing that Wu Yuanqing agreed with his opinion, Liu Dewei hurriedly got on the horse and set off, but Wu Yuanqing was not in a hurry, and followed unhurriedly after getting on the horse.
After entering from the city gate, in addition to the weapons, armor and other things scattered along the road, there are also rolling stones and sassal trees that have not been carried up the city wall, except for the rebels stationed here.
If you ignore some rebels who were killed on the road and on the side of the road, or some rebels who were caught and tied up by the people or wealthy families, and some blood stains on the ground, this Qizhou City does not look like a rebellion at all.
"Look at these people, look at these officials and gentry, not only did they not take advantage of the chaos to do evil, but also helped to arrest the rebels, helped to maintain order in the city, Wang Dynasty Mahan, you talk about such simple folk customs, what do those people think Yin Hongzhi think that these people can follow them to rebel and go to the point of no return?" Wu Yuanqing held the horsewhip and pointed along the road, or closed the gate, or hid in the crack of the door to peek, or simply stood by the door and watched, and nodded and smiled with Wu Yuanqing, as well as the officials who commanded the subordinates, the servants put the sundries on the ground, and the official of the weapons asked.
"Their brains are squeezed by the door." Dynasty said.
"Hey, the donkey kicked." Mahan said with a smirk.
"Hmm." Zhang Long and Zhao Hu nodded in agreement.
"Hey, I don't have enough brains." Wu Yuanqing sighed and scolded.
Seeing that the dynasty's Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu all brushed and looked at themselves, Wu Yuanqing reprimanded angrily: "Look at what, I didn't scold you."
When Wu Yuanqing and the others came to the Qi Palace, it was already surrounded by Qiu Xinggong's people, and Wu Yuanqing also heard Liu Dewei yelling at something, as if he was reprimanding.
I don't know what happened, Wu Yuanqing hurriedly hit his horse and ran over, and then heard Liu Dewei ask sharply: "Where did your general go and ask him to come out for the old man, who gave you the right to surround the Qi Palace, ah, you dare to stop the old man from entering, do you know what you are doing?"
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Wu Yuanqing pushed away the people who were blocking the front and came to Liu Dewei's side and asked.
"These people dared to surround the palace, and they also locked up the princess and the princess and several county lords, and they didn't let the old man go in."
