The hundred households were all asleep, and they were dragged in front of Chen Zhi.

He looked at Chen Zhi with a confused expression, and Chen Zhi asked, why are there so many weeds and dry firewood in the Acropolis, and they are everywhere.

Baihu was stunned for a moment, and said: "Two days ago, the capital division sent someone to give an order, saying that the hoarded dry firewood and weeds should be piled up in flammable places all over the guard, and if you receive an order, you will light the acropolis at that time, and it must not be left to the rebels." ”

“。。” Chen Zhi felt even more incredible.

He immediately ordered: "Collect it at once, and pile it up in an open place." ”

"So late?" Baihu scratched his head: "Let's get up early tomorrow." ”

"Bastard, do it now."

Chen Zhi's voice just fell.

Whoosh, I saw that in the night sky, meteors broke through the sky and slashed into the sky above Long Liwei like arrows.

Hey, Chen Zhi's eyes glared at the boss, watching the rockets fly into Longliwei from the outside like meteors.

"Special mother, Gu Cheng is reversed?" Chen Zhi scolded.

"Boom" After the rocket landed, it actually caused an explosion.

Then there was a loud bang, and the Acropolis was filled with flames.

Whoosh, whoosh, in the night sky, one rocket after another, continued to fly in from the outside, and at the same time, flames were burning everywhere in the city.

When Huo Zhen was pulled up from the bed by Chen Zhi, he was also confused.

He drank some wine by himself tonight and slept soundly, but he didn't expect to be woken up halfway by Chen Zhi.

"What are you doing?" Huo Zhen also asked what was going on.

"Gu Cheng is the opposite, he deliberately ordered Long Liwei's people to place flammable dry firewood and weeds everywhere in the city, and then set fires everywhere by taking advantage of the darkness, hurry up, let's rush out first." Chen Zhi made a long story short and said quickly.

"How could Gu Cheng be opposed?" Huo Zhen looked disbelieving.

But when he walked outside, the shouts of killing outside shook the sky, and it seemed that thousands of troops had already been killed.

In fact, there were no rebels entering the city, but they were setting fires everywhere outside, and rockets were constantly coming in from outside the city.

The soldiers and horses inside were in chaos, the firefighters were fighting the fires, and the people fleeing for their lives, so it was very chaotic, as if thousands of troops and horses were killing into the city.

"We're late, there must be something going on in front of us, Xue Lu may be wiped out, otherwise Gu Cheng won't rebel." Chen Zhi is still very good at judging, and said quickly: "Take advantage of the darkness now, hurry up and run." ”

"Run?" The fire stared at him incredulously.

"Don't run to make dumplings?" Chen Zhi stomped his feet and said: "Flee back to Huguang, there is still a chance to make a comeback." ”

Huo Zhen's nose was crooked when he heard this, and the rebels still saw that the 50,000 army had not yet started fighting, and they were going to run?

Huo really didn't want to run, and wanted to gather troops and horses to rush out of the city to see if there was a chance to fight the rebels.

But the city was too chaotic, it was set on fire everywhere, and 50,000 officers and soldiers were burned.

When they rushed out of the city, they encountered a large force of cavalry outside, and the two sides exchanged arrows for a while, because it was dark, and everyone was shooting blindly, and the damage was not great.

In less than half an hour, Huo Zhen and Chen Zhi broke through with a remnant of the army and fled in the direction of Zhenyuanfu.

A day later, their cavalry fled back to Zhenyuanfu, and a few days later, the infantry battalion fled back.

By the fifth day of the first month of July, there were nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses returning one after another, and it seems that the losses were not very large.

Only then did they receive the news that only 3,000 cavalry of the rebels had attacked them that day.

It is said that the rebels just wanted to harass them, but they did not expect to scare their entire army into fleeing overnight.

Huo Zhen was ashamed and angry, but it was useless to regret it now, so he could only go all out to organize the army in Zhenyuan Mansion.

But Zhenyuan Mansion is in the easternmost part of Guizhou, adjacent to Huguang, it can be said that the official army retreated to Zhenyuan Mansion, representing the entire territory of Guizhou, which has been almost lost.

He and Chen Zhi thought twice, fearing that they would be surrounded by rebels on all sides, and finally retreated to Huguang along the waterway, so that the whole of Guizhou fell into the hands of the Han king.

But when Huo Zhen and Chen Zhi returned to Huguang, Guiyang City had not been lost.

What Gu Cheng promised his grandson was that if Xue Lu was defeated, he would consider helping King Han.

And Xue Lu insisted on holding out in Pingba Wei for many days, and their food could only support five days, but Xue Lu reduced the daily supply, and then killed all the war horses, which was enough to support for more than ten days.

Gu Cheng never saw Xue Lu's defeat, and he never waited for the official reinforcements to arrive.

It was only at the beginning of July that there was news from outside.

Huo Zhen was defeated in Longliwei and has retreated to Huguang.

Gu Cheng is inexplicably wonderful, the soldiers and horses of the King of Han crossed Guiyang to Longliwei? And a fight? How did I not know?

At this time, the experience of Long Liwei's battle slowly appeared in Gu Cheng's mind.

Yang Yun, a subordinate of the King of Han, led three thousand cavalry to patrol the official army reinforcements, this Yang Yun is also a fierce general, the previous name was not known, there should be no chance to lead the troops, this time he can finally lead the troops, so he took three thousand cavalry to turn around for a few days, always thinking about meritorious service, on the same day he led the troops from the Wengshou River to Zhenyuan Mansion, at that time Yang Yun just wanted to see if the official reinforcements went ashore, whether they entered the territory of Guizhou, and how many troops there were.

However, he found through Long Liwei, Xin Tianwei and others that there were no troops in the local area, all of them were military dependents and military amateurs, especially Longliwei, because it was very close to Guiyang, and even the families of military remnants were also taken away.

So a bold idea appeared in Yang Yun's mind.

Because he estimated the distance, after the official army entered Guizhou, the night before they finally arrived in Guiyang, they would inevitably have to rest somewhere.

Considering that there are many officers and soldiers, it is definitely safer and proper to choose a guard station.

Then the dragon towering pass between Long Liwei and Xin Tianwei is the only choice.

The dragon shrug is a little smaller, so it is very likely that it is in the dragon guard.

Yang Yun immediately led people to raid Long Liwei, and then took all the people inside away, and sent more than 100 people to pretend to be officers and soldiers.

So Huo Zhen and Chen Zhi never thought that the hundred household officials who faced them that day were actually the subordinates of King Han.

They piled up a large amount of weeds and dry firewood all over Longliwei in advance, and then prepared to set fire everywhere at night, and then put rockets in at the same time outside, causing a big chaos, and seeing if there was a chance to raid again.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhi was more vigilant, and called the hundred household officials over at that time, but the people inside didn't have time to ignite, but fortunately, the rocket flew in as soon as possible.

Huo Zhen and Chen Zhi reacted quickly, hurriedly gathered soldiers and horses, and escaped from Longliwei overnight, and the loss was not big.

Yang Yun didn't have much chance that night, and he didn't dare to stop them, so he let them leave after a little fight.

The 50,000 reinforcements of the imperial court ran back halfway, but at the critical time, now it is rumored outside, and Gu Cheng is also reversed.

"What?" Gu Cheng didn't react yet, and when he heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and his face was flushed.

The cronies who passed the message smiled bitterly: "They said that General Gu ordered to pile up dry firewood and weeds all over Longliwei, so Huo Zhen's side, now it is determined that it is General Gu who is also reversed." ”

Huo Zhen still didn't know that Long Liwei's people were Han Wang's people, so Gu Cheng's black pot was decided.

Gu Cheng was extremely depressed, and scolded in his heart, this Han King was even more treacherous than King Yan back then, and there were endless conspiracies and tricks, and Lao Tzu would be forced to rebel by him if he didn't rebel.

"You go and call Xingguo." Gu Cheng had no choice but to say.

The cronies took the order and left, and after a while, the grandson Gu Xingguo came.

Gu Xingguo was full of smiles when he entered the door, and he actually gloated.

Gu Cheng's face was a little ugly, and when he saw his grandson's expression, he was really angry.

"Grandpa, it's the other way around, Huo Zhen and Chen Zhi both think you're the opposite." Gu Xingguo said with a smile.

"You're laughing at a fart, you think I don't want to rebel, your father is in trouble." Gu Cheng said angrily.

“。。” Gu Xingguo.

Gu Chengdao, when he lost to King Yan, he immediately surrendered, because he knew that Emperor Jianwen was quite reasonable, and he would not be angry with his family, and he would not be angry with the Gu family.

"But Zhu Di is crazy." Gu Cheng said in a deep voice: "I'm down now, your father and mother in Jingshi, if you don't do it, you will be cut down." ”

Gu Xingguo's face suddenly fell, and he couldn't laugh.

Gu Chengdao: "Back then, Sheng Yong and Ping'an disappeared one after another, Zhu Di was suspicious, and the generals were not allowed to take all their family members away and send people to monitor them, how can you let me rebel now?" ”

Gu Xingguo said helplessly: "Then what should I do?" ”

Gu Changcheng sighed: "I can't directly oppose it, but if you use the name of Xue Lu to deceive the city gate and suddenly attack Guiyang, it will have nothing to do with me." ”

Gu Xingguo glared at Gu Cheng and thought, I didn't expect my grandfather to be a ruthless person.

The next night, there was a wave of defeated soldiers approaching Guiyang City, and the defeated soldiers called themselves Xue Lu, and they came back from a big defeat in front, please open the door quickly.

A thousand households in the city didn't believe it, so they lit torches below and asked General Xue Lu to come out and speak.

Unexpectedly, a commander behind him said angrily: "Special mother, I have seen General Xue, open the door quickly." ”

On July 5, the city of Guiyang was broken, and more than 10,000 officers and soldiers under Gu Cheng were captured.

When Guiyang City was broken, Pingbawei had held out for more than ten days.

Xue Lu was counting on Gu Chenghui to bring reinforcements from the imperial court to rescue, so he reduced the rations some time ago, and killed only a hundred horses, and finally persevered until now, but the reinforcements were far away, and the walls built by the rebels outside the city were one after another, and there were already five surrounding them.

This is still Sheng Yong knows that Xue Lu can't escape, otherwise he can build a few more walls to come out.

As soon as the rations were distributed in the Pingba Guard, the soldiers were making noise again, and the low-ranking soldiers were divided less, and some officers were divided more, so everyone was naturally not satisfied.

Xue Lu sent people to kill a few disobedient ones, barely suppressed them, and then shouted to fool everyone, the reinforcements are almost here, and they will arrive tomorrow at the latest.

Tomorrow and tomorrow, when everyone heard too much of this, they bowed their heads and remained silent.

Xue Lu walked to the city wall and looked around, the city was in chaos, and there were stones everywhere.

The rebels bombarded indiscriminately with trebuchets for several days, and there was hardly a complete house in the city, but fortunately the stones were limited, and after holding out for a few days, the rebels now became insidious, not throwing them during the day, and only at night when they went to sleep, did they start throwing them into the city.

The officers and soldiers were thrown into misery, and people fled out of the city every day.
