To welcome Master Wang

Although Guo Yi was still panicking at this moment, he also knew that running on both sides was not an option.

Besides, he knew how many troops Liu Yilong had. With that small amount of troops gathered to attack the city from one side, how could he have more troops to attack from both sides?

"Don't worry about them! The attacking side is already at a disadvantage. We just need to hold on to the city wall!"

Although Guo Yi has never had the opportunity to lead an army in a war, he is still living in troubled times, has lived a long life, and has seen a lot, which is far beyond what a scholar like Cui Wei can compare with.

"This must be Liu Yilong's plan to tire out his troops. We don't need to panic too much!"

In order to express his attitude, Guo Yi actually took the lead back home to sleep at this moment.

"No need to notify me if there is another battle tonight! The rest of the soldiers who are not on duty should go to sleep peacefully and don't let the enemy affect their spirits!"

Guo Yi's performance indeed calmed the minds of some soldiers, so that everyone no longer became suspicious because of the two sides' movements.

After Liu Yilong watched the movement on the walls of Yecheng gradually diminish outside the city, he concluded that the time was ripe.

Immediately, he deployed some troops outside the four walls of Yecheng and asked them to exert force at this time——

"Guo Yi escaped!"

"Guo Yi escaped!"

"Guo Yi escaped!"

As soon as the four loud characters came out, it was a shock. Many soldiers who had been calm just now became suspicious again.

"The Song army outside said that Governor Guo escaped?"

"No way? Wasn't Governor Guo still supervising the battle on the city wall just now?"

"It was true just now, but what about now? Don't forget those people in the city today, they are all relatives of Cui Wei! Not to mention us?"

"..."

Many soldiers had seeds of suspicion planted in their hearts because of what happened to Cui Wei during the day. At this moment, when they heard the Song army outside shouting "Guo Yi escaped", suspicion arose in their hearts.

The voices of the Song army outside the city became louder and louder, and the people in Yecheng gradually heard the four characters "Guo Yi escaped".

"Guo Yi really escaped?"

"Who knows."

The people in Yecheng were originally dissatisfied with Guo Yi's attempt to drive them out of Yecheng. Now that they heard that Guo Yi had escaped, they did not want to ask for confirmation, but cheered crazily.

"Guo Yi escaped, which means the imperial army is about to come in!"

"Great! Doesn't that mean that my second uncle's family who are trapped outside the city can also come back?"

"Definitely! The folks outside have food from the imperial court! They won't starve to death! They are much better off than we are! Let's go pick up our relatives!"

Seeing the people rushing towards the city gate without knowing the truth, the soldiers guarding the city were almost frightened out of their wits.

"Don't come here!"

"Please be careful with military law!"

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

The soldiers, who were originally unsettled, saw that the people were showing signs of "riot" for no apparent reason, so they quickly picked up their weapons and tried to disperse the people.

At this tense moment, someone in the dark shouted: "The Song Army is coming again!"

Like a thunder piercing the night sky!

The soldiers and people in Ye City took a step back at the same time...

"Rush over!"

This step back was obviously for a better charge. Two distinct streams of people collided with each other at the command, and the turbulent stream of people instantly flooded the entire city wall.

The Song army outside is indeed attacking.

Liu Yilong took the lead and jumped up to the city wall on a ladder. He struck the rebels with a knife, leaving no trace of strength behind.

"Charge over! Take back Yecheng!"

Under the firelight, Liu Yilong looked like a murderous god, making it difficult for people to think that this was the gentle and elegant King of Hejian of the Liu Song Dynasty.

The soldiers of Yecheng who lost morale quickly surrendered after a hasty resistance under Liu Yilong's attack.

When encountering common people, Liu Yilong also asked his soldiers to pay attention.

"Don't harm the people! Seize the city gate first!"

Along the city wall, the Song army spread out to other city gates with the north gate as the center.

Fighting on the narrow city wall, Liu Song's elite soldiers under Liu Yilong taught these private soldiers of aristocratic families a good lesson.

Three people form a row and five people form a line.

Even though the place was narrow and there was no room to move around, the military formation composed of these veterans was always strong, not giving the enemy any space to attack. They only relied on collision to scare them into crying.

The deputy general next to Liu Yilong was a little skeptical about life: "Are all the private soldiers of aristocratic families so weak?"

"normal."

Liu Yilong was full of disdain: "Aristocratic families are all paper tigers! If their private soldiers are really brave enough, why don't they drive the barbarians completely out of Hebei and then become the king and hegemony themselves?"

"You just relied on Wubao Castle and your reputation with the local people to lie down at the crotch of the barbarians. Do you really think that you can rebel with this little private army?"

This group of Hebei aristocratic families cannot rebel against the Hu regime, and for the same reason, they cannot rebel against the Han dynasty!

The deputy general beside him nodded frequently after hearing this: "King Hejian is right! Especially the sentence "Aristocratic families are all paper tigers" is really insightful!"

"This is what the emperor said today."

"Forehead……"

The deputy general looked embarrassed, but Liu Yilong didn't care: "It is said that the rebellion in Yecheng was able to be put down so easily this time because Gu remembered that the emperor once taught Gu in Chang'an: "The king is a boat, and the common people are water.

The boat will be carried, and the water will overturn it." Although this is the content of "Xunzi's King System", the only person who has mastered this technique in the past and present is today's emperor, and he has only scratched the surface."

"Okay, go and capture Guo Yi! Don't let that guy escape!"

"And Cui Wei! According to the children of the aristocratic families who surrendered, he is the mastermind of this rebellion. We must catch him!"

The deputy general smiled and said: "Yes!"

"Now that the city gates are controlled by our army, it will be difficult for the two of them to escape even if they gain wings!"

Just as the deputy general said, Guo Yi and Cui Wei had no chance of escaping from Yecheng.

When Guo Yi woke up from his sweet dream again, he found that the city gate had been broken down.

"The city gate is broken?"

"Just based on Liu Yilong's military strength?"

The soldiers who came to report were also confused: "We don't know why, anyway, the city is broken now, and the gates on all sides have been controlled by the Song army!"

This news made Guo Yi's family feel a little confused. His new concubine was so frightened that her face turned pale with fright. She didn't even bother to cover up the large piece of snow exposed underneath her body, so she lay on Guo Yi and cried bitterly: "Husband! I'll wait.

Can you still escape from Yecheng now?"

"Why run away!"

In the shocked eyes of his family and subordinates, Guo Yi pushed his concubine down and walked into the house solemnly.

A moment later, Guo Yi appeared again wearing a brand new Liu Song official uniform.

"Open the door to the prefect's mansion! Go and prepare some gifts! The most important thing is to immediately bring Cui Wei, the culprit who threatens the prefect and causes trouble!"

"I, Guo Yi, will go and eat the soup to welcome Master Wang!"
