All the high-level officials were imprisoned, but Li Yin did not relax because of this. Of course he knew that there was one person missing, that is Cheng Jian, and after Cheng Jian knew the news in Yizhou City, he would definitely make a counterattack before dying.
Such a big commotion in Yizhou City quickly spread to the county below. Gao Quan and most of the clansmen of those officials were living in the county below. They all rushed to Cheng's house and let Cheng Jian make up his mind.
"Dalang, hurry up and make an idea. If the king of Shu stabilizes his footing, will our five clans still have a way out?" Cheng Jian is the eldest in the family, and his younger brother, Cheng Daoyuan, is the county magistrate of Longquan County. He was also imprisoned by Li Yin in the palace.
The person who spoke was Gao Quan's father. Now that his two sons have been arrested, how could he not be in a hurry? Seeing that Cheng Jian didn't speak, the old man said again: "Now the patriarchs of the five surnames are here. If you say something, don't you?" Your Cheng family is scared!"
Cheng Jian was indeed a little scared. He calculated in his mind, entangled with the five families, men, women, old and young could add up to 10,000 people at most, but could these 10,000 people attack Yizhou City and kill Li Yin? Even if they captured Yizhou City, if Li Yin escaped, it would be a disaster for these five families. They would all be declared rebels, but if they did nothing, his fate would also be doomed. Afterwards, the five families may not be exterminated, but the five families will definitely be suppressed.
When Cheng Jian was hesitating, a servant hurried over and whispered something in Cheng Jian's ear, "What! Let them in!" Cheng Jian was overjoyed, he did not expect that King Wei would send someone at this time coming.
After a while, the servant led ten people over. Cheng Jian immediately recognized Chai Lingwu as the leader. Two years ago, he and Gao Quan accompanied him to play in Yizhou for a whole month. Two gold pieces were given as a gift. At that time, Chai Lingwu lived in Cheng's house for a long time.
"General Chai, General Chai, help me..." Seeing Chai Lingwu, Cheng Jian cried and knelt in front of Chai Lingwu, kowtowing constantly.
When Chai Lingwu passed through a village with nine dead men, he snatched ten horses and traveled day and night to Yizhou. But looking at the heavily fortified city of Yizhou and inquiring again, he realized that it was too late. , His heart cooled down, remembering that he and the Cheng family had some intersections two years ago, he immediately brought people to the Cheng family, but he didn't expect Cheng Jian to still be there.
"Get up, I was ordered to come to help you!" Chai Lingwu helped Cheng Jian up, and now the matter has reached the point where Gao Quan and Li Yin's plan to fight each other has completely failed, and now he can only kill him. All the people who knew the high power bribed King Wei, including Cheng Jian in front of him, "Do you know where Governor Gao is being imprisoned now?"
"The clansmen who came back from the city said that they were imprisoned in the Shu Palace at first, and now they are imprisoned in the prison in Yizhou!" Cheng Jian had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and they had more confidence with the support of King Wei.
Chai Lingwu looked around at the people in the room and asked, "Who are they?"
Cheng Jian said: "This is the patriarch of the Gao clan, and the others are all members of the clan who were arrested by the county magistrate. They are discussing with me what to do?"
"Since they are all my own people, I will say it straight. I am a general under the King of Wei. The King of Wei ordered me to bring two thousand troops. They are waiting for news of me outside Yizhou City. You are all here now. I There is a plan to discuss with you!"
"Two thousand troops!" Cheng Jian was shocked, and the faces of the others showed ecstasy, "Please tell the general!"
"Yizhou city has high walls and thick walls, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is impossible to attack these two thousand soldiers to break through Yizhou city. Therefore, I still need your help!" Chai Lingwu made up a lie. They are frightened birds, headless flies, they must be given a reassurance before they can be commanded by themselves.
The 2,000 troops that Chai Lingwu said made Cheng Jian's courage suddenly strengthened, "General, please tell me, all 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, please tell me, General! We will fully cooperate!" The others said one after another.
Chai Lingwu pondered: "I need you to surrender!"
"Fake surrender?"
"That's right, I brought a hundred dead soldiers. They are all strong soldiers in the army, and they all have the ability to stand up to ten. I want you to put on a show and send them to the cell. When they are unaware, rescue them." Inspector Gao and the county magistrate, when the time comes, we should cooperate internally and externally, and I will personally lead two thousand troops to attack Yizhou City and kill the king of Shu, and when the time comes, you will report that the untouchables in Shu are making trouble, and the king of Wei will certainly excuse you!"
"Brilliant plan, great plan!" Cheng Jian said, "What are you waiting for, immediately summon the clansmen to follow me to Yizhou City!"
"Wait, my people haven't arrived yet!" Chai Lingwu narrowed his eyes.
It has been two days since he won the high power. Yizhou City has stabilized, but the rebellion of the famous family that Li Yin was worried about did not appear, which made him feel a little unusual.
After reading the notice, the laborers in the city spontaneously rushed to the top of the city to help the soldiers guard the city gate, but the tranquility of the past two days made them gradually relax.
On the top of the city, a laborer dozed off. They were not government soldiers, so they had no training and no discipline at all. In fact, Li Yin’s original intention was just to let them gather together to scare the famous families and make them retreat.
While he was sleeping soundly, he was pushed suddenly by someone. He looked at the person who pushed him angrily, but saw that the person was looking outside the city gate, motionless.
Outside Yizhou City, a team of thousands of people was coming towards Yizhou City. The leader was 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. Seeing this scene, he shouted: "Close the city gate!"
The government soldiers under the city heard the order and immediately closed the city gate of Yizhou. At the same time, the government soldiers on the tower drew their longbows one by one on guard.
Looking at the soldiers and civilians on the city gate, Cheng Jian swallowed hard, but still walked forward bravely. This was their only chance.
"General, I, Cheng Jian, have come to serve His Highness the King of Shu. You see, this is the patriarch and relatives of the Gao family, Wang family, Li family, and Zhao family. I arrested them all for plotting to cause trouble!" Cheng Jian arrived Under the city gate, he said to Qin Huaiyu on the tower.
Qin Huaiyu glanced at the more than a hundred people who were **** behind Cheng Jian, half-believing: "Let the others stand back, and you come in with them." He pointed at those who were tied up.
"Yes, General!" Cheng Jian secretly waved his hand and told the clansmen to retreat 300 meters, leaving only a few escorts behind and walked towards the city gate.
After Cheng Jian entered the city gate, Qin Huaiyu immediately ordered Cheng Jian to be tied up, searched all the hundred people, and after confirming that they were not carrying weapons, he said to a soldier, "Go and inform Your Highness!"
