On August 26, the Weijia army came to the north gate of Bibo City, and the artillery battalion and cloud echelon of the Baocang army also rushed to the west gate of Bibo City, and the two sides began to attack the city at the same time. Everyone in the Wei family shouted as if they had been beaten with chicken blood: "Follow the emperor's order, one hundred taels of silver for each ear, one hundred acres of sand for five ears, kill!" Kill! Kill! Thirty other archers shot arrows with bounty notes written on them into the city, and whoever cut off the ears of the rebels would receive the reward. The shouting from the north was lively, and the Baocang army in the west also immediately heard the movement. One hundred taels of silver! And sand! Wei Yangyang was so happy that he almost wanted to jump!

In the confrontation between the two sides, the news that Wu Shiji sent people to expedite Huadu for 800 miles before departure also had feedback. The Household Department and the Military Department immediately organized a grain transport team to deliver grain and grass, and the troops transferred from the other counties were also rushing to Houwan County in a steady stream. Wu Shiji knew that the garrison would not be able to hold out for a few days, and he needed to quickly capture Bibo City in order to solve the danger of Haixi.

Wei Jiajun is running out of food, not only Wu Shiji knows, but Shen Liangyun also knows. Although the garrison had deliberately asked people to hoard supplies before, there were nearly 200,000 people in Haixi Province, and every day was a great test for everyone. They cut their daily rations by a third, and the jerky was given to the first class soldiers who needed to charge, and the white-flour cakes were given to the logistics soldiers, and everyone was waiting hungry. Even on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, Shen Mingyuan found that only he had mooncakes to eat, while others, including Wei Shuping, still gnawed on the hard-to-swallow sticky cakes. But the Wei Jiajun seemed to have gotten used to this kind of ordeal, and everyone showed great tenacity.

Seeing that the offensive of the Weijia army was getting more and more fierce, on August 29, Shen Liangyungou jumped over the wall in a hurry, arrested Miao Ruotong from the city, escorted him to the north gate of the city tower, and shouted downstairs: "Wei Shuping, look at who this is?" "The children of the Wei family naturally recognize that the scholar who was held by a knife on his neck on the city tower is Mrs. Wei's mother-in-law, Wei Bingyue's father-in-law, and Miao Ruotong, a scholar in Bibo City. Shen Liangyun said to Miao Ruotong: "Your wife and children are all in the city, I will give you a chance now, you go out of the city, persuade your brother-in-law, and let him retreat fifty miles." Miao Ruotong pretended to be afraid: "My brother-in-law's nickname is "King Weiyan", it's useless. I couldn't convince him. Shen Liangyun was angry: "If you can't convince him, your whole family will die." With that, his own soldier cut off the right hand of another disobedient official next to him. Miao Ruotong seemed frightened, and immediately said, "Okay, I'm willing to go out of the city to be a lobbyist." ”

Wei Shuping shouted under the city tower: "Lord Wang, if you think that you can use my brother-in-law to threaten the general, then you have miscalculated. Don't say it's him, even if you hang my wife and daughter on the tower, I will still attack the city. Moreover, they will only fight harder and avenge them. "Inside and outside the Haixi Mansion, no one knows that Wei Zongbing and his wife have been close for nearly 30 years, respecting each other like a guest, and his daughter is even more regarded by him as an eyeball. He dared to say that, and everyone believed it, and he could do it. Now, he really stretched out his bow and aimed his arrow at Miao Ruotong. I'm afraid that if he doesn't wait for Shen Liangyun to kill Miao Ruotong, he will shoot his brother-in-law first.

And Wei Bingyue was even more ruthless, he led Wei Yangyang's meow to the front of the battle, and said to the soldiers of the three armies: "This is the year before last, my father gave us the New Year's gift of the eldest lady of the Wei family. With that, he raised his knife and cut Meow's neck with a knife, and said, "At noon today, everyone will eat horse meat and drink horse blood." When you have enough to eat, you have to work harder in the afternoon when you siege the city! "Most of the Wei family army have seen Wei Yangyang's sassy and heroic appearance when riding this Ugin horse, even if the rebels have never seen a meow, but its coat color shines black under the sun, and they also know that it is a rare horse. Under Wei Bingyue's knife, the horse screamed miserably, struggled and fell to the ground, and the wound on his neck spurted out blood like a spring, spraying his face. Crazy, father and son are both crazy! Looking at the garrison who bent the bow and shot arrows and Wei Bingyue who was covered in blood, Shen Liangyun now regretted a little, although he lived so close, he knew too little about the Wei family's army!

At this time, Shen Mingyuan, who was behind the garrison, walked to the front and began to shout at the city tower: "Shen Liangyun, I am the current sixth prince, Shen Mingyuan, the king of Qinghe. Although you sent someone to assassinate me, for now, I still call you uncle. If you surrender here, I can also help you plead in front of the guards, and instead of killing you here, I will take you to Huadu and have your father interrogate you. If you don't repent, when you attack the city later, if any of the soldiers of the Weijia Army misses and hacks you to death, then you are too dead. ”

Because the vassal king could not leave the fiefdom casually without permission, nor could he go to Huadu, Shen Liangyun had not seen Shen Mingyuan. Only then did he know that the official from Huadu that he sent a killer to kill that day was actually the Sixth Prince! Since this is the case, the crime is added to the first degree, then he has nothing to be afraid of, so he simply broke the jar and broke it: "Don't talk nonsense and demagoguery here, is it Wei Shuping who found you to pretend to be the sixth prince and prepare to rebel?" ”

was bitten back by him, saying that he was impersonating, and affirmed that Yuan was so angry. Wei Shuping turned his head to him and whispered, "Your Highness, don't be angry with him. The big war is coming, whoever can't hold his breath will die. Shen Mingyuan listened to him and tried to make himself look calm. He raised the tiger talisman in his hand and said: "Soldiers, although I am not in charge of the military department, but before leaving from Huadu, the emperor gave me the tiger talisman and allowed me to move the Weijia army at will at a critical moment. I also agreed to the reward of silver and land announced by the general guard. Heavenly promise, no lie! Today, whoever is present will be rewarded if they cut off the ears of the rebels; If the rebels lay down their arms on the spot, they will not be blamed for the past; I know that you are bewitched, so today, I will only arrest the first offender, and I will never ask! ”

There were five high-pitched heralds who shouted out his words and passed them to the castle tower one by one. When he finished speaking, Wei Jiajun began to shout together: "Only arrest the first culprit, and never ask!" One ear, a hundred taels of silver! Five ears, 100 acres of land! In stark contrast to the energetic Weijia army in the mountains and tsunamis, the defenders on the castle tower showed a hesitant look. It was as if they were the ones who were fighting hungry and not the Wei Jiajun.

Wei Shuping was full of praise for Shen Mingyuan: "Although His Royal Highness is young, he is very courageous and has the demeanor of the emperor back then. Shen Mingyuan also replied: "Mr. Wei has won the award, and this is all because of the confidence given to me by Wei Jiajun." When can we go on the general attack? The garrison leaned closer to him and whispered, "Now the morale of our soldiers has reached its peak. Just wait for the good news of General Wu's soldiers to come, and we can carry out a general attack and kill with one move. ”

The "good news" of the garrison soon came, and on the morning of August 30, after four days and nights of non-stop attack, the west gate of Bibo City was breached. Wei Yangyang was the first to climb the city tower, she moved very fast, after climbing up, she rushed to a red-clothed cannon while fighting, and called a few soldiers to protect the warehouse with her, turned the direction of the cannon, facing the north gate of Bibo City. Her skillful action in loading cannonballs was praised even by Wu Shiji. Wei Yangyang did not delay at all, and after a quarter of an hour of ascending the tower, he had already loaded the cannonballs and ignited the fuse. Then she ignored the cannon, and continued to rush forward to cut people, shouting as she chopped: "Hey, let's let one, let one, my one hundred taels!" A loud cannon bang drowned out her voice, and the cannonballs of the red-coated cannons flew towards the north gate with unerring accuracy, blasting a gap in the wall of the north gate.

Here's your chance! The garrison shouted: "Beat the drums, attack the city!" "The cannons of the Mo battalion opened fire at the same time, and fired at the tower; The soldiers of the Green Battalion, holding shields and ladders, were the first to charge; The cavalry of the Blue Battalion was useless in the siege, so they raised their rockets and fired them at the tower, making it difficult for the defenders to raise their heads. The tacit understanding of the cooperation of various armies is rare in the world. Even though the north gate of Bibo City is the strongest gate in order to defend against foreign enemies, under the strong pressure of the Weijia army, the defenders are also a little stretched.

Wei Yangyang was familiar with the road and set off towards the north gate with the Baocang army that rushed into the city. On the way, they encountered stubborn resistance from the defenders, and the two sides engaged in street battles in the streets. In order to save money and raise troops, in addition to deducting the military salary of the guards, he also increased taxes in the fiefdom many times. Wei Yangyang thought, if he can deduct the silver of our Wei family army, he must also deduct the silver of the defenders of Bibo City, I don't believe it, they don't hate him. So she shouted at the street entrance: "Hey, don't toss around, is the monthly military salary enough?" Now we have an army of 200,000 men, and if we follow us to kill the enemy, we will receive a hundred taels of silver. As she spoke, she held up her bag with ears to show the other party: "I have earned nine hundred taels of silver today!" I can exchange it for a hundred acres of land. She deliberately shouted at her own soldiers: "Don't rob everyone for a while, the more than 200 people on the opposite side are enough for us to share." ”

The rebels found that they could no longer be called human beings in the eyes of the other party, but just silver ingots that could move. Now that the West Gate has been breached, why don't you surrender in a hurry and wait for your ears to be cut off? Therefore, the more than 200 people hurriedly threw their weapons on the ground, and each of them threw his sleeve to show that he would not resist. Immediately, there were soldiers who rushed up and pressed them.

Wei Yangyang was very excited, slashed and rushed into the palace of King Yi, and saw that it was already a mess inside. A person was about to get into the carriage and escape, but she pulled him down, and at a glance, he realized that it was the fat man who was going to beat her that day because of taro crisp. The enemy was very red when she saw each other, she first cut off the opponent's left ear with a knife, and was about to swing the knife to hack him to death, when the fat man shouted: "You can't kill me, I am the son of the world!" Wei Yangyang was fighting: "I don't care if you are a persimmon or a peach?" Not even apricots! ”

The man knew that the other party didn't know his identity, and shouted in pain: "I am the prince of the palace of the king of Yi, only the emperor can kill me, you can't kill me!" "Wei Yangyang knew that King Fengquan's name was Shen Minghuang, and his name was Shen Mingxu, and he was obviously a relative of the emperor. Only then did she react, no wonder that on the street that day, this fat man was so arrogant, it turned out to be the son of the prince of Yi. Thanks to Lu Gongzi to help him out of the siege, otherwise, he would not really have to complain to the emperor?

Thinking of this, she asked the other party: "Then, what about the prince of Yi?" Shen Mingxu was in pain: "He's here, he's here." Wei Yangyang put the knife next to his right ear: "If you are long-winded, your right ear will be gone!" Shen Mingxu had seen her kung fu, and then she knew that she was merciful on the street that day, otherwise, she would have chopped the nine of them into mashed meat long ago. Seeing that the flesh and blood at the wound on his left ear were blurred, where had he ever seen such a bloody scene, he trembled with fright: "You promised not to kill me, I will tell you." Wei Yangyang replied casually: "Okay! Say it. Shen Mingxu said: "My father is in command of the battle at the North Gate. ”

Wei Yangyang first cut off the tendons and veins of his right hand, and said to him: "Then you go to the north gate with me, don't try to escape, otherwise, I will cut off your eyes, nose, mouth, hands, and feet." She called Shen Mingxu's attendant and instructed, "You, drive the carriage to the north gate." As he spoke, he pushed Shen Mingxu into the carriage and jumped on it himself. The attendant did not dare to disobey, so he had to drive to the north gate.

When they arrived at the north gate of the urn city, there were already many Baocang soldiers attacking the urn city, and the rebels were still struggling. Wei Yangyang dragged Shen Mingxu out of the carriage and shouted: "Hey, your son is here, whoever doesn't want to die, shoot arrows at him!" ”

She was thin and small, hiding right behind the fat man, and the enemy's bows and arrows could not reach him at all. If you really release the arrow, you can only use Shen Mingxu as a live target. When the rebels saw that it was the prince in front of her, they didn't dare to make up their minds, so they hurried to report to the prince. Shen Liangyun hurriedly walked from the north gate to the outside of the urn city, and saw that his precious son was being held hostage by Wei Yangyang, so angry that he pulled Miao Ruotong and shouted: "That little girl of the Wei family, if you dare to hurt my son for half a point, I will kill your uncle." ”

Wei Yangyang didn't show his head, but hid behind Shen Mingxu and shouted: "Hahaha, Lord Yi, do you want to know how I ran to Baocang County for help?" My two brothers pretended to quarrel and ran to save me, unfurling the red veil they had prepared long ago when the smoke and dust were rising. You think I was rescued by my starling, but I had already rolled down to the back of the bunker and hid and ran west while it was dark. I didn't eat for two days and two nights, and I ran 500 miles before I saw General Wu. I'm defenseless and not even afraid of the wolves in the desert, and you think I'm afraid that you'll threaten me? ”

As she spoke, she spat out another melon seed, which exploded next to Shen Mingxu's neck, blowing up a small wound on his neck, and blood slowly flowed out. The crowd didn't know what kind of weapon it was, and they were terrified. Wei Yangyang laughed again: "Lord Yi, if my uncle is killed by you, my aunt can remarry, and I will have a new uncle." But you won't have any more sons. She was talking nonsense, although she was disrespectful, but it was very reasonable. Shen Liangyun was so angry, why did the Wei family not enter the oil and salt like this. This Wei Yangyang is worthy of being Wei Shuping's daughter and Wei Bingyue's sister, she is simply a little Hades and a little madman. Moreover, she not only blocked Shen Mingxu in front of her, but also leaned against the corner of the city wall, blocking herself tightly, and no one wanted to hurt her before killing Shen Mingxu.

Suddenly, a cannonball came from outside the city and exploded in the urn city, and Shen Mingxu was blown up and wounded, and he screamed. Shen Liangyun saw that his son was dying, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he had to compromise: "Okay, I let go of your uncle, and you let go of my son." Let's let go at the same time! Wei Yangyang was about to speak, and Miao Ruotong shouted: "Xiaoni, don't let go!" I am an official of the imperial court, and even if I am killed, I will sacrifice my life for righteousness. His son is a rebel and a thief, how can he be compared! Take him away quickly, and give him to your father after the rebellion has been quelled. ”

After that, he dressed up and bowed to the south, and then scolded the prince of Jin: "I, Miao Ruotong, eat the king's fortune, and now I have done my duty as a courtier without fear of danger." You colluded with foreign enemies to bring disaster to the imperial court, and these innocent soldiers who were also harmed were buried with you, and the people of Houwan were miserable. My daughter was killed by the Hayes Army three years ago, and you are the culprit, and now you still want to blackmail me with the general guard? Do you know why you lost? Because you don't understand either the emperor or the Wei family. A little girl from the Wei family dared to run out alone to deliver the message, not to mention how heroic the entire Wei family army was, how could she be defeated by you, a dog thief? Although I, Miao Ruotong, am a civil official, I am not afraid of death, if you want to kill, you will kill, and I will die with you today! With that, he suddenly stretched out his hands to pinch the prince's neck, and the two of them rolled to the ground at the same time.

The rebels were about to kill him and rescue the prince of Yi, only to hear the shouts of the Wei family army: "Throw away the weapon, otherwise, cut off the ear!" In the army, shouting "cut off the ear" is to kill the other party, hearing this shout, the rebels know that it is the Weijia army that has attacked, seeing that the general trend has gone, they have thrown their swords and arrows on the ground. The two personal soldiers of the prince of Yi turned faster, they were originally going to kill Miao Ruotong, but they hurriedly changed their minds, and firmly set up the prince of Yi on the left and the right to prevent him from escaping. Miao Ruotong picked up a life at this time.

The Baocang army and the Weijia army converged and cleaned up the rebels like a whirlwind. From the beginning of August when the king raised troops to August 30 when the rebellion was put down, the month-long rebellion of the king came to an end. In the evening, Shen Mingyuan, Wei Shuping, and Wu Shiji interrogated Shen Liangyun in the palace, and Wei Shuping joked: "Lord Jin, do you know why you were defeated? Because you miscalculated one thing. ”

In addition to Shen Liangyun, the other two also showed doubts on their faces, and Wei Shuping said: "You have been guarding against me for so many years, why don't you send someone to inquire, why is my daughter raised in the military camp instead of at home?" Because she is a fierce man by nature, if her life can't suppress her, whoever marries will die. You had to marry my daughter for your son that day, and you see, isn't this retribution coming? She will not only kill your son, but also your whole family. Hey, God won't help you. "Shen Liangyun's failure to raise troops is naturally not the reason. But Wei Shuping mentioned it alone, obviously because he was still angry about the other party's intention to marry his baby daughter, so he deliberately ridiculed the other party.
