Late at night on the 19th, all the main forces of the alliance were concentrated at the North City Gate, and Li Fengyun and the commanders of various armies took the lead and led the soldiers to launch round after round of fierce attacks.

Guarding the north gate of the city is the commander of Qi County, Jia Wuben, he and his soldiers have been fighting bloodily for nearly seven hours, exhausted, heavy casualties, more than 2,000 people have lost more than half, but the thieves outside the city are still desperately attacking, a team of teams in turn, not only maintain a full body, but also maintain a dense attack rhythm, so that the officers and soldiers in the city are in a hurry, and there is no time to take a breath. However, what is even more terrifying is that under the sky-high fire outside the city, there are more and more anti-thieves attacking the city, and there is no end in sight, which makes the officers and soldiers defending the city extremely frightened, and the despair is permeating their hearts, the morale is getting lower and lower, the power of counterattack is getting weaker and weaker, and there are more and more casualties.

"My lord, we can't hold it, we definitely can't hold it." Jia Yanfu was covered in blood and yelled at Jia Wuben, "Withdraw, evacuate at this moment to save your life, otherwise we will all die here." ”

Jia Wuben's face was gloomy and silent.

"My lord, this is a trap, a trap that will kill us." Jia Yanfu pointed to the direction of the county government in the city, and roared angrily, "Li Zixiong didn't save him when he saw death, and he made it clear that he wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, how can you turn a blind eye?"

"Shut up," Jia Wuben scolded angrily, "If you talk nonsense again and confuse the army's heart, I will kill you."

Jia Yanfu was furious, waved his hands, and shouted uncontrollably, "Then die, they all die here, and they will all die in one hundred." ”

"Get out" Jia Wuben was furious, and rushed up and raised his hand to slap him.

Yang Qian, who was standing beside Jia Wuben, was quick and rushed up and hugged Jia Wuben. Jia Wuben's slap missed, and he struggled in anger, and then Yang Qian spoke, "Jia Duwei is a little restless. This is indeed a trap, you and I are well aware of it, please calm down at this critical moment, and think of a way out for your brothers. ”

Jia Wuben stopped struggling, but without saying a word, his expression was cold and murderous.

Yang Qian let go of his arm, stood in front of Jia Yanfu, and said earnestly, "The white thief is under the city, taking the lead to boost morale, tens of thousands of troops are constantly attacking, we can't resist at all, and the city will inevitably fall, this is an indisputable fact, even if our whole army is wiped out?" It's meaningless, but it just gives Li Zixiong an excuse to shirk responsibility. ”

Jia Wuben knew it. Licheng is indeed unable to hold, from the moment Li Zixiong entered the city, Licheng is destined to fall, because it is very simple, if the Qi King Yang Lan soldiers enter Licheng without blood, it will inevitably be true, so the King of Qi must use force to capture Licheng, must recapture Licheng from the hands of the thieves, so that not only took Licheng, but also built the merit of suppressing thieves, but also blocked other people's mouths, and covered up their own conspiracy, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

Before, Jia Wuben was suspicious of the rumors about the collusion between King Qi and the white thief, but now he believed it. Li Zixiong just entered the city with his front foot, and the white thief came with his back foot, attacking the city at any cost, and the king of Qi was in the middle of the river for more than 100 miles, and it was just around the corner, this was not an opportunity to attack Licheng at all, so it was obvious that either the white thief was an unreasonable madman, or the white thief had a tacit understanding with the king of Qi, paving the way for the king of Qi to seize the city first.

Based on Jia Wuben's understanding of the white thief, the reason why the white thief attacked the city at this moment can only be the latter, and the white thief has Li Zixiong's internal response, and it is easy to take the city, but Li Zixiong can't bear the responsibility for losing the city, so Jia Wuben became a scapegoat, who will die if Jia Wuben doesn't die? So the army of the white thieves all gathered outside the north city gate, and the strength was several times that of Jia Wuben, which was enough to put Jia Wuben to death, and Li Zixiong thought that he had undertaken the defense of the other three city gates, and the other three city gates were also in danger under the attack of the anti-thieves. Now that Jia Wuben is trapped in the "bureau", he can't leave if he wants to, he is gone, the city has fallen, who will take responsibility?

"It's late." Jia Wuben finally spoke, and there was a sense of despair in his low and hoarse tone, "The thieves have surrounded the entire city, and we have no strength to fight again, how can we break through?" ”

"Breaking through is also death, is it a way out?" Yang Qian shook his hand, his eyes were resolute, and he asked, "Can Jia Duwei believe so?" ”

Jia Wuben said without thinking, "Of course I believe it." ”

"So-and-so's countermeasure is to withdraw from the northern city immediately and let the white thieves capture the city."

Jia Wuben, Jia Yanfu and his son looked at each other and were very surprised, this is also a countermeasure? Isn't this looking for death? Although this can save the hundreds of surviving brothers and hundreds of light and serious wounded, Jia Wuben is dead, which is equivalent to exchanging Jia Wuben's head for everyone's lives.

But think about it carefully, if you want to save this team, there is only this way at present, although Yang Qian is suspected of selfishness when he comes up with this countermeasure, but the whole army is annihilated, Jia Wu could have taken care of his reputation, but he took the lives of more than 2,000 soldiers in exchange, from everyone's point of view, Jia Wuben is selfish, knowing that this is the conspiracy of the King of Qi to seize Licheng, knowing that this is Li Zixiong's crime of taking his head, Jia Wuben still has to die with more than 2,000 soldiers and the city, and the jade is burned, that is Jia Wuben's is not.

Jia Wuben resolutely decided, just a head, insignificant, if his head can save the lives of nearly a thousand brothers, it is worth it.

"Let's take Sima's strategy." Jia Wuben was decisive in killing, and immediately ordered, "Withdraw from Beicheng." ”

"Adult......" Jia Yanfu was sad and indignant, his feelings were out of control again, he drew his knife in anger, his eyes were about to split, and he yelled at Yang Qian, "Shameless, you dare to ask for the head of an adult, and kill you"

Yang Qian was not afraid, and while retreating to dodge, he shouted loudly, "A certain plan has its own plan to save Jia Duwei."

Jia Yanfu's knife stopped in mid-air, murderous, "What is the policy? ”

Yang Qian hesitated for a moment, and finally told the truth, "The adult of a certain family is the Duke of Guanguo, the grandfather of a certain family is the King of Guande, and the son of the royal family. ”

Jia Yanfu's knife fell, he looked at Yang Qian dumbfounded, and said to himself in disbelief, "You are the prince of the imperial family?" You are the son of the royal family? ”

Jia Wuben's eyes showed gratitude. He had long known Yang Qian's origin, but he always kept it a secret, and when Zhang Xutuo left Licheng, he deliberately left Yang Qian, obviously with the help of Yang Qian's power at a critical moment. At the critical moment, Yang Qian did come forward, but instead of sticking to Licheng, he gave up Licheng. Considering Yang Qian's noble identity and the strength represented by this identity, Jia Wuben admitted that a head in exchange for the "favor" of the Yang family's wealthy family, Jia Yanfu's career will be smooth sailing in the future, which is also worth it. Unexpectedly, he thought wrongly, Yang Qian no longer concealed his identity at the critical moment, and with Yang Qian's strength, it was too easy to save Jia Wuben's life.

The drums of war were like thunder, the sound of killing shook the sky, and another round of attacks by the anti-thieves began.

"Captain Jia, retreat, hurry." Yang Qian shouted eagerly, "A certain can ensure that you are safe, and a certain can promise that after we leave the city, we can rush to Ludong to follow Ming Gong." ”

Jia Wuben did not hesitate anymore, and decisively ordered to "withdraw"

At midnight on the 19th, Li Fengyun captured Beicheng, and the alliance army entered Licheng.

Li Zixiong's command post retreated while resisting, while Li Fengyun's allied army pressed forward step by step, controlling all the city gates and all the official treasury in the city one by one.

In the early morning of the 20th, Li Zixiong withdrew thirty miles outside the city and joined Yang Lan, the king of Qi.

At the same time, Li Fengyun convened a military meeting of all the heroes and commanders in Huangtai Mountain.

The alliance army captured the city, hard work, which was admired by the Hebei heroes, but the alliance army took the opportunity to control the city, and refused the Hebei righteous army to enter the city and plunder, which caused great dissatisfaction among the Hebei heroes, they also participated in the siege battle, and also paid the price of thousands of casualties, there was no merit and hard work, but Li Fengyun did not even let them enter the city, and the alliance swallowed the spoils of war alone, which was too much.

Li Fengyun obviously also knew that his actions had caused dissatisfaction among the Hebei people, so he convened the marshal army less than two hours after taking Licheng, which gave the Hebei marshals a glimmer of hope, hoping that Li Fengyun would promise to be righteous and be able to distribute some food and weapons to them.

At the military meeting, Li Fengyun made a high-sounding explanation for his orders, the righteous army is a whole, whether it is an alliance or a Hebei righteous army, they are now all fighting on the same battlefield, and their interests are the same, and in order to ensure their respective interests, they must first safeguard the overall interests. The overall benefit is guaranteed, there is rice in the pot, and there is rice in the bowl. The alliance has been able to grow in such a short period of time because it has always put the interests of the alliance first, otherwise the alliance would never have the scale and strength it has today.

The leaders of the alliance knew Li Fengyun's purpose well and resolutely supported it. The alliance has saved the Hebei people, and now they have to carry the burden of feeding the Hebei people, but what should the Hebei people give? At present, it seems that the people of Hebei not only do not have the consciousness of paying, but also have to grab food from the pot of the alliance. I've seen shameless, I've never seen such shameless, the alliance heroes, including Pei Changzi, who has just joined the alliance and is eager to grow, are extremely disdainful of the "brazenness" of the Hebei people.

In fact, Li Fengyun has multiple purposes, one of which is to maintain the integrity of Licheng, the official treasury can be ransacked, but the Licheng cannot be looted and turned into ruins, so that Yang Lan, the king of Qi, can not get a dime of benefits, which is equivalent to Li Fengyun taking the initiative to break the agreement, and the consequences are worrying.

Li Fengyun took the initiative to explain, the implication is that I will not let the Hebei people suffer, and I should give you your affirmation, but now is not the time to distribute the spoils, because Yang Lan, the king of Qi, is outside the city, and the attack will be launched after dawn, and it is still unknown whether the rebels will have time to empty the city. In this case, the rebels from all walks of life rushed into Licheng to loot, not only gained very little, but also could not organize effective resistance at all, Licheng must be gained and lost, and in a blink of an eye it was taken back by Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and it was the rebels themselves who suffered in the end.

"The top priority is to stop Yang Lan, the king of Qi, under the city of Licheng." Li Fengyun said solemnly, "Once the resistance fails, not only will we not be able to grab food and weapons, but we will also be surrounded by the official army by the Jishui River, and we will have to fight against the water. ”

People are under the roof and have to bow their heads, and the Hebei heroes can only obey orders in the face of the aggressive Li Fengyun and the powerful alliance army that is united with the outside world.

Wang Bo was the first to stand up, saying that he would resolutely put the interests of the righteous army first and resolutely obey Li Fengyun's orders.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Heimin also expressed his position, vowing to advance and retreat with Li Fengyun and the alliance. Liu Heimin's statement gave the Hebei heroes an ominous premonition, this time they went south to Qilu and fell into the bloody mouth of Li Fengyun's tiger, and then it was even more difficult to return to Hebei unharmed.
