Chapter 229: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
As Chu Wenxiu said, eight of the nine counties in Liangzhou were occupied by Ning Ze, and only the isolated city of Boping was besieged. The soldiers and civilians in the city were terrified and could not concentrate on it.
When people are in danger, they will always subconsciously seek a way to survive, and some people in Boping County are ready to move.
Instead of sitting back and waiting, it is better to find a silver lining.
It was night, and suddenly there was a fire.
Ding Que, the governor of Boping County, cooperated with Cao Yangping and Deng Bing, the superintendent of post, and took advantage of the chaos to subdue the city defense generals and open the city gates.
The subordinates went out of the city, galloped wildly to the outside of Ning Ze's camp, and faced the patrol soldiers who were vigilantly surrounded, turned over and dismounted and knelt down on one knee: "The last general came on the order of the commander and invited Ning Zhonglang to enter the city!
The patrol general ordered someone to watch over the messenger, and hurried to the main tent to wake up Ning Ze.
"What's the matter?" Ning Ze asked.
"Governor, there is civil strife in Boping County!" the patrol general replied respectfully, "It seems that someone in the city has set fire to it, and only then did he catch an enemy general, saying that he was ordered by the commander to open the city gate to welcome our army!"
"Oh?" Ning Ze opened the virtual map and found that there was indeed a situation in Boping County.
Originally, some of the defenders of the same camp actually became Liu Yuanxiang's army, which can be regarded as taking the initiative to surrender. These troops occupy the city gates, and some of them are quickly shuttling between the counties, and they are afraid that they are setting fire to create chaos everywhere.
Facing the worries of the patrol generals, he immediately smiled and said: "It must be civil strife in Boping County, there is no need to doubt it." Immediately give an order, take this opportunity to attack the city, and take Boping with the outside and the inside!"
"Whoa!"
Ning Zejun took the opportunity to attack the city, and when he arrived at the city gate, it was unimpeded. rushed in and found that the two groups of people inside were fighting fiercely.
It turned out that Sun Yi was woken up by the sound of killing, and found that there was civil unrest in the city, and someone rebelled to bring the enemy in, so he hurriedly rushed his henchmen and generals to lead troops to suppress it, trying to recapture the city gate.
However, the morale of the army was unstable, and many civilian and military generals chose a neutral position when they saw that the situation was not good, and did not dare to intervene. Some simply joined the rebel forces, and only a few loyal people protected Sun Yi and fought against the rebels.
Yan Tao is one of them, protecting Sun Yi from left to right.
It's just too late to stop it, and before Sun Yi could recapture the city gate, Ning Ze's army had already swarmed in.
The rebels led Ning Ze's troops and fought fiercely with the team protecting Sun Yi.
When the people heard the sound of killing, they all hid in their homes and did not dare to go out, trembling.
Fortunately, there was no scene of fear in my heart, and even though there was continuous fighting on the streets, no one broke into the people's homes.
The fighting continued until dawn, and the entire city of Boping spent the night in the flames of war.
Sun Yi, who was exhausted, took Yan Tao and several henchmen to make the last resistance in the Taishou Mansion.
With the assistance of the rebels, Ning Ze's troops successfully took control of the city and trapped the last resistance forces in Taishoufu.
The resistance became less and less, and eventually Sun Yi fell into despair.
If it weren't for the betrayal of Ding Que and others, it would not be so easy for Ning Ze to attack Boping City, and if it dragged on for a month or two, maybe there would be a turnaround. But there is no hope for now!
Sun Yi's face seemed to be much older, with blood stains all over his body, and he looked at the civil and military generals who followed him with a spear in his hand: "You are all loyal and righteous people, but unfortunately God does not bless me! Ding Que conspires against him, and he only hates to have phlegm on his flesh! Now that Boping is lost, Liangzhou is taken by Ning Ze, and my life is over!"
Yan Tao said: "Young Envoy, we will fight to the death to protect you to break through!"
"Yes, I'll fight to the death and protect the young envoy to break through!" the other generals responded in unison.
"Break through?" Sun Yi smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid I can't even get out of the Taishou Mansion." ”
"Even so, we will do our best to protect the young envoy!"
"Protect the young envoy and fight your way out of the siege!!"
......
Sun Yi was very moved, he didn't expect that there were so many loyal people around him at the end of the road.
"Young Envoy," Chu Hong came out of the crowd and said, "I have a plan to ensure that Jun escapes safely!"
"Oh?" Sun Yi, who was in despair, heard this, as if he saw a guiding light, and hurriedly grabbed Chu Hong's arm, "What is the clever plan of sir?"
Chu Hong replied: "You can find a person with a similar shape and a young envoy to change clothes and armor." The aggrieved young envoy hid in the middle of us and others, pretending to surrender and leave the Taishou Mansion. There are people who are willing to cover the young envoy and hide you in your home. When the limelight passes, find a good opportunity to leave the city. Just ......"
"Just what?" Sun Yi heard this, and hope ignited in his heart.
Chu Hong looked around: "The person who replaces the young envoy must be in the mansion, so that the rebels cannot be recognized, and ensure that the young envoy is not suspected and escapes safely." This is Li Daitao's plan!"
This strategy was conceived by Chu Wenxiu, because Chu Hong was bent on protecting Sun Yi.
"I'm coming!" Yan Tao stood up without hesitation, "The young envoy can change into the clothes and armor of the superior and subordinate officials......
"Yan County Order!" Sun Yi was quite moved.
"No!" Chu Hong shook his head to stop it, and said to Yan Tao, "The county respects Boping and is highly used by the young envoy. Who doesn't know the civil and military forces in the city? If the county lord does not leave the Taishou Mansion, the rebels will definitely suspect it!"
"Makes sense!" Sun Yi nodded.
"But who is the one to pretend to be the young envoy?" Yan Tao turned around.
Left and right officials, you look at me, I look at you, and discuss in a low voice. After a while, a voice finally appeared in the crowd: "The guards around the lower official are in the same shape as the young envoy, and the aggrieved young envoy pretends to be a guard and leaves with the lower official!"
Sun Yi turned his head to look and saw Hu Cao Peng walking in front of him.
Behind him, there was indeed a guard about his own size.
"If you pretend to be me, you will definitely die!" Sun Yi looked at the guards and asked solemnly, "Your Excellency, do you know?"
The guard clasped his fists and replied: "It's worth it to be able to exchange a small one for a small one's life!"
"Okay!" Sun Yi stepped forward and patted his arm, "What a loyal man!"
"Young envoy, hurry up and change into your guard armor!" Chu Hong urged, "I'll take you to a safe place." ”
"Okay!" Sun Yi and the guards changed clothes and armor, and Chu Hong asked him to follow behind Hu Cao Peng, trying to lower his head so as not to be seen. Then he said, "Young Envoy, please call out to you, pretend to give up resistance, and ask Ning Ze to accept our surrender." When the time comes, they will leave together, and before Ning Ze's people come in, pretend to be your guards and directly set the fire **, so that they will think that you are dead, and you can be sure that you are safe. ”
Sun Yi took a deep breath and nodded. Try to calm down, and shouted outside through the door: "I am Sun Yi, the assassin of Liangzhou, please Ning Zhonglang come over and say a few words!"
"The imperial court has made the capital governor General Yingyang, the Marquis of Danyang, and the governor of Jinzhou," Ding Mu responded angrily outside, "It's not a small general!"
Sun Yi frowned when he heard this, and saw Chu Hong reminding himself with his eyes. So after taking a deep breath, he said loudly: "This official asks Danyang Hou to speak!"
"Wait a minute!" there was silence outside, and soon the sound of horses' hooves was heard.
After a while, Ning Ze's voice came: "Ning is here!Sun Yi, what do you have to say?"
"Second brother, abandon your weapons and surrender!" Sun Jun's voice.
Sun Yi laughed three times and shouted to the outside world: "Even if you surrender, can you save my life?" Listen, I can die, there are loyal and righteous people on the left and right, and it is a pity to die in vain with me! They are all pillars of talent, and they can be reused. After my persuasion, everyone was willing to lay down their weapons. Please Danyang Hou promise to spare his life and use it. ”
Outside, when Sun Jun heard this, he turned his head to look at Ning Ze: "I didn't expect that the second brother was much better to his subordinates than his own brothers!"
Ning Ze smiled and responded to the Taishou Mansion: "Those who are willing to surrender will be accepted by the next one!"
"Okay! With Danyang Hou's words, I will be relieved!" Sun Yi shouted loudly, "Did you hear that? You still have family members and parents, how can you go to death with me? Danyang Hou has agreed to surrender, all of them put down their weapons and leave here, open the door!"
The guards at the gate pulled the wooden bolts open one by one and opened the door of the Taishou Mansion.
Sun Yi lowered his head and blended in the team, softly reminding him to go out left and right.
And the person who pretended to be Sun Yi stood inside with his back to the gate, and there were several soldiers around him.
These civil and military officials came out one after another, and Ning Ze's eyes fell on the guards pretending to be Sun Yi in the mansion, and his eyes flashed.
The civil and military generals who came out of the Taishou Mansion all lost their weapons and walked out together.
Ning Ze's eyes moved, and when Sun Yi passed by, he directly reached out and grabbed it and pulled it in front of him.
To be honest, when I saw the person pretending to be Sun Yi inside, I was almost deceived.
It's a pity that the data that appeared in front of him told him that it was not Sun Yi himself who was standing inside. This seemingly inconspicuous guard is Sun Jun's second brother Sun Yi.
Hu Cao Peng walked past Ning Ze, and his heart was extremely nervous.
I thought I could pass safely, but who expected that Sun Yi, who was pretending to be a guard, was grabbed by Ning Ze and dragged him over directly, and he instantly broke out in a cold sweat and was at a loss.
Yan Tao, Chu Hong, and other civil and military generals who were loyal to Sun Yi were also flustered, not knowing what to do.
Yan Tao was quite calm, and hurriedly turned around and asked, "Danyang Hou, this person is just a little guard......
"Little guard?" Ning Ze saw Sun Yi bowing his head vigorously, not daring to let himself see his face, and smiled and reached out to take off his helmet, "The golden cicada is out of its shell, thinking that it can hide it from me?"
"Second brother?" The helmet was taken away, and Sun Jun couldn't help but exclaim at a glance when he saw Sun Yi's face.
Unexpectedly, it was exposed on the spot, and Sun Yi was at a loss.
Yan Tao, Chu Hong and others were in a hurry, so they wanted to come forward to save people.
As a result, when he was unarmed, he was quickly held down by Ning Ze's subordinates.
"How do you know?" Sun Yi's face was like ashes, and he looked up at Ning Ze.
"My eyes are so good!" Ning Ze smiled.
Unexpectedly, the last hope also disappeared, and Sun Yi collapsed weakly: "Win the king and defeat the king!
"This is your brother's family matter, I don't bother to meddle!" Ning Ze turned to Sun Jun, "I'll leave it to you and handle it yourself!"
"Thank you, Dudu!" Sun Jun walked up to Sun Yi and drew his sword, "Brotherly cannibalism starts with you, and it ends with you!" Second brother, don't blame me!"
"Fourth brother, fourth brother!" Sun Yi thought that he was not afraid of death, but when he saw Sun Jun with his sword approaching him, he immediately panicked and begged for mercy, "Nian is in the brother's game, let me go! From now on, Liangzhou is yours, I promise to leave here and never come back!"
"Why didn't you read about your brother in the first place?" Sun Jun gritted his teeth and pierced Sun Yi's chest.
