All the high-ranking officials were imprisoned, but Li Su did not relax because of this, of course he understood that there was one less person, that was Cheng Jian, and after Cheng Jian knew the news in Yizhou City, he would definitely fight back before he died.
Such a big movement in Yizhou City quickly spread to the county seat below, Gao Quan and most of the clansmen of those officials were living in the county town below, after Cheng Jian got the news, he was so frightened that his face was colorless, and the five families rushed to Cheng's house to let Cheng Jian take the idea.
"Da Lang, hurry up and get an idea, if you wait for the King of Shu to stabilize his footing, will our five clans still have a way to live?" Cheng Jian is the eldest in the family, and there is also a younger brother Cheng Daoyuan who is the county magistrate of Longquan County, and now he is imprisoned in the palace by Li Su like Gao Quan.
The person who spoke was the father of Gao Quan, and now that the two sons were all arrested, how could he not be in a hurry, seeing that Cheng Jian did not speak, the old man said again: "Now that the five patriarchs are here, you say something, is your Cheng family afraid!" β
Cheng Jian was indeed a little scared, he calculated in his heart, entangled with the five families, men, women and children can get together at most 10,000 people, but can these 10,000 people attack Yizhou City and kill Li Su? Even if he attacks Yizhou City, if Li Su escapes, it will be a catastrophe for these five families, and they will all be condemned as rebels, but if he doesn't do anything, his fate will also be inescapable.
When Cheng Jian was hesitating, a subordinate hurriedly ran over and said something in Cheng Jian's ear, "What! Let them in! Cheng Jian was overjoyed, he didn't expect King Wei to send someone over at this time.
After a while, Jia Ding led ten people over, Cheng Jian recognized at a glance that it was Chai Lingwu, two years ago, he and Gao Quan accompanied him to play in Yizhou for a whole month, and after leaving, he gave 50,000 taels of gold as a gift, at that time, Chai Lingwu lived in Cheng's house for a lot of time.
"General Chai, General Chai help......" Seeing Chai Lingwu, Cheng Jian cried and knelt in front of Chai Lingwu, constantly kowtowing.
When Chai Lingwu passed by a village with nine dead soldiers, he snatched ten horses and traveled to Yizhou day and night, but looking at the heavily guarded Yizhou City, and inquiring again, he realized that it was too late, and immediately, his heart cooled down, remembering that he had some intersection with the Cheng family two years ago, he immediately brought people to the Cheng family, but he didn't expect Cheng Jian to be still there.
"Get up, I've been ordered to come to your aid!" Chai Lingwu helped Cheng Jian up, and now that things have reached the point where Cheng DΓΉ has burned his eyebrows, the plan of Gao Quan and Li Su to fight for each other has completely failed, and now he can only kill everyone who knows that Gao Quan bribed King Wei, including Cheng Jian in front of him, "Do you know where Gao Thorn Shi is being held now?" β
"The clansmen who came back from the city said that they were first imprisoned in the Shu Palace, and now they are locked up in the prison of Yizhou!" A glimmer of hope rose in Cheng Jian's heart, and with the support of King Wei, they had more confidence.
Chai Lingwu looked around at the people in the room and asked, "Who are they?" β
Cheng Jian said: "This is the patriarch of the Gao clan, and the others are all clansmen who have been arrested by the county order, and they are discussing with me what to do?" β
"Since they are all my own people, I will say it bluntly, I am a general under the King of Wei, and the King of Wei ordered me to bring two thousand men and horses, and they are waiting for my news outside the city of Yizhou, and now that you are all here, I have a plan to discuss with you!"
"Two thousand people!" Cheng Jian was taken aback, and the other people's faces showed ecstasy, "Please also ask the general to make it clear!" β
"Yizhou City has thick walls, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible to attack these two thousand soldiers to break through Yizhou City, so I still need your assistance!" Chai Lingwu made up a lie, he understood that these nobles were now frightened birds, headless flies, and they had to be given a reassurance pill before they could be under his command.
The two thousand people in Chai Lingwu's mouth made Cheng Jian's courage suddenly stronger, "General, please say, the people in charge of the five clans are here, Cheng Jian pointed to the forty or fifty people in the room and said."
"That's right, General, please! We will fully cooperate! Others said.
Chai Lingwu groaned: "I need you to surrender!" β
"Surrender?"
"That's right, I brought a hundred dead soldiers, they are all strong men in the army, they all have the ability to be ten with one, I want you to play a play, send them to the cell, take advantage of their unpreparedness, rescue the high thorn history and the county order, when the time comes, I will personally lead 2,000 men and horses to attack Yizhou City to kill the king of Shu, and then you will go to the table to say that the untouchables of Shu are in rebellion, and the king of Wei in the court will excuse you!"
"Brilliant plan, brilliant plan!" Cheng Jian said, "What are you waiting for, immediately gather the clansmen to go to Yizhou City with me!" β
"Wait, my people haven't arrived yet!" Chai Lingwu's eyes narrowed.
Two days have passed since he won the high power, and the city of Yizhou has stabilized, but the rebellion of the Wang clan that Li Su was worried about has not appeared, which makes him feel a little unusual.
After reading the notice, the laborers in the city poured up to help the soldiers guard the gates, but the peace of the two days gradually relaxed them.
At the head of the city, a laborer dozed off, they were not government soldiers, they were not trained, and naturally there was no discipline at all, in fact, Li Su's original intention was only to let them make up a number of people to scare and scare those prominent clans, so that they would retreat in the face of difficulties.
While he was sleeping soundly, he was pushed violently, and he looked at the man who pushed him in annoyance, but saw that the man's eyes were looking out of the city gate, and he did not move.
Outside Yizhou City, a team of thousands of people was coming towards Yizhou City, for Cheng Jian, and behind him were hundreds of people who were tied up.
Qin Huaiyu was patrolling the city gate with the government soldiers at this time, and when he saw this scene, he shouted: "Close the city gate!" β
When the soldiers under the city heard the order, they immediately closed the gate of Yizhou, and at the same time, the soldiers on the city tower drew their longbows one by one.
Looking at the sergeants and people at the city gate, Cheng Jian swallowed and spit, but still walked forward, this was their only chance.
"General, I, Cheng Jian, am here to pay allegiance to His Royal Highness the King of Shu, you see that this is the patriarch and relatives of the Gao family, the Wang family, the Li family, and the Zhao family, they plotted to cause chaos, and they were all arrested by me!" Cheng Jian arrived at the city gate and said to Qin Huaiyu on the city tower.
Qin Huaiyu glanced at the more than 100 people who were tied up behind Cheng Jian, and was half-convinced: "Let the others stand back, and you and them come in." He pointed to those who were bound.
"Yes, General!" Cheng Jian secretly waved his hand and asked the clansmen to retreat three hundred meters, leaving only a few people to escort them and walk towards the city gate.
After Cheng Jian entered the city gate, Qin Huaiyu immediately ordered someone to tie up Cheng Jian, searched all the hundred or so people, and after making sure that they did not carry weapons, he said to a government soldier: "Go and inform Your Highness!" β
