On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 510
This time, Cui Che led an army of 20 to the west, which was sufficient. He did not adopt the method of encircling the city, but besieged the city on all sides, making up his mind not to let Qu Tutong go.

Hundreds of thousands of copies of the "Book to the Fathers and Elders in Guanxi" were thrown away in just one morning. Since Qu Tutong did not order forcible confiscation, all of these papers were privately stored by the soldiers and civilians in the city who were treasured, and almost everyone had a copy.

At dusk, Sang Xianhe found Qu Tutong again and asked:
"The soldiers and people in the city are panicked and fearful. If this continues, the soldiers will definitely mutiny and want to trade you and me for wealth.

"There are still a thousand people under Sang's command. They are willing to risk their lives at night to break through and ask Daxing for help. I also ask Qu Tugong to agree."

Qu Tutong thought that Sang Xianhe just wanted to try to break out of the encirclement and seek a chance of survival. After pondering for a long time, he said:

"Maybe I can give it a try. If I am lucky enough to break through, please Xianhe tell King Qi that I have never done anything wrong to the country."

As soon as the war started, he could not see the hope of victory. All Qu Tutong could do was try his best to buy time for Yu Wenshu and others, but now Cui Che was delayed for more than half a month. Pay more attention.

Sang Xian and Zheng Se said:

"Don't worry, Lord Qu Tu, I will fight to the death and bring back reinforcements for Lord Qu Tu."

Qu Tutong was noncommittal, even if Sang Xianhe really returned to Daxing, how could it be possible for Yu Wenshu and Gao Jiong to send reinforcements so that Cui Che could surround the spot and fight in the field.

Sang Xianhe bid farewell to Qu Tutong, and just as he turned around, Qu Tutong shouted:
"Wait a minute!"

Sang Xianhe was startled, thinking that Qu Tutong had seen through the loophole, and when he turned around, sweat was already dripping from his back.

But Qu Tutong didn't notice it, he sighed:
"Please also tell my two sons, Xianhe, that their father died for the sake of his country, and that his death was a worthy death. All the family affairs are entrusted to them. I hope they will work harder on loyalty and filial piety in the future."

Sang Xianhe breathed a sigh of relief, and he said seriously:

"Sang will never forget Qu Tugong's entrustment."

In the middle of the night, Qu Tutong made noises in the east of the city, attracting Cui Che's attention.

And Sang Xianhe gathered his tribe in the west of the city.

Qu Tutong thought that Sang Xianhe was mobilizing before breaking out of the siege, but Sang Xianhe, who had penetrated to the west of the city, shouted with his soldiers:

"Everyone, Duke Qu Tu called me to discuss it just now. Tomorrow we will forcibly confiscate the "Book to the Fathers of Guanxi" and destroy them all. Anyone who dares to keep it privately will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's face changed, and the voice of discussion was loud.

"Duke Qu Tu did this to put the whole city to death!"

"The one who kills me is Qu Tu Gong!"

"General Sang, please persuade Duke Qu Tu, we are not afraid of death, but what should we do with our parents, wives and children, without the "Book to the Fathers and Fathers of Kansai", they will be enslaved by the Kanto people, forever Can't roll over."

Deep in love, weeping loudly, everyone begged with tears in their eyes, hoping that Sang Xianhe could persuade Qu Tutong to change his mind.

However, Sang Xianhe showed a look of helplessness, he burst into tears and said:
"Sang knows all about your difficulties, and I have parents, wife and children, but what can I do.

"Now that Duke Qu Tu has made up his mind, it's hard to change it.

"Everyone, please hand over your private collection of "The Old Book to Guanxi Fathers", and let me and Duke Qu Tu have an explanation."

This remark aroused the anger of the soldiers, and they said angrily:

"General Sang gave Qu Tutong an explanation, who can give us an explanation!"

"The matter has come to this, how about General Sang calling on the soldiers and civilians in the city to resist Qu Tutong together, so that our family can have a way out!"

"That's right! Qu Tutong is so stubborn that he wants the entire city's army and civilians to be buried with him. If we fight hard, we will survive!"

"Don't hesitate anymore! General Sang! The life and death of the entire city's soldiers and civilians are on your mind!"

Seeing that they had successfully mobilized everyone's emotions, Sang Xianhe finally shouted:
"Okay! Tonight you and I will fight for ourselves, for our family, and for the innocent people in Feng Yi City!

"Seize the city! Offer it to the King of Yan! Seal your wife and son! Win wealth!"

When everyone heard the words, they all fell into a frenzy and shouted loudly with him:

"Seize the city! Offer it to the King of Yan! Seal your wife and son! Win wealth!"

A rebellion suddenly broke out in Feng Yi City.

Sang Xianhe ordered the west gate to be opened, ordered people to go out of the city to look for the sentry cavalry of the Eastern Sui Dynasty, and report the matter of righteousness.

At the same time, he left his cronies to lead a hundred people to guard the city gate, waiting for the army of the Eastern Sui Dynasty to enter the city.

Sang Xianhe led the rest of the troops to march east of the city, shouting loudly along the way, telling the people in the city that Qu Tutong would forcibly confiscate the "Old Book to Guanxi Father", and whoever dared to keep it privately would be killed.

The effect of this action was also immediate. Countless people joined Sang Xianhe's team with bamboo poles and kitchen knives, including men and women, old and young.

They all knew that if Qu Tutong confiscated the "Book to Guanxi Father and Old Man", and the city would surely fall, everyone would have no way to survive, and their children and grandchildren could only serve as slaves.

Without anyone's coercion, they all spontaneously and actively participated in it.

It is impossible for Qu Tutong not to notice such a big movement. When he learned of Sang Xian and the rebellion, Qu Tutong immediately sent troops to suppress it.

It was only the soldiers who quelled the chaos that met Sang Xianhe's large army, and turned back with all their strength.

When the rebel army approached the east gate, Qu Tutong saw angry soldiers and some unarmed civilians in the crowd with the help of a torch. He did not order the soldiers on the city wall to shoot arrows, but shouted hoarsely:
"Everyone, don't be fooled by Sang Xianhe, I never said I would confiscate your books!"

Qu Tutong tried to appease everyone's emotions.

However, Sang Xianhe did not allow him to defend himself, and he shouted loudly:
"Yang Guang moved south and abandoned the people of Kansai. If you want to give Feng Yi's army and people a way out, why don't you open the city and surrender to the King of Yan!

"Do you have to stick to the end, offend King Yan, and bring harm to innocent people, in order to fulfill your loyalty!"

Qu Tutong was speechless, and the soldiers and civilians following Sang Xianhe shouted in unison:
"Open the city gate! Welcome King Yan!"

Even the soldiers who followed Qu Tutong to guard the city wall were shaken.

Suddenly, deafening horseshoes sounded in the west of the city, and Sang Xianhe shouted excitedly:

"This is King Yan entering the city!"

Besides Cui Che, how could Feng Yi have so many cavalry now?

In fact, Qu Tutong also knew that the moment Sang Xianhe defected, the situation was irreversible.

He said to the soldiers beside him:
"Put down your weapons, Cui Che won't make things difficult for you."

After all, he would jump off the tower and die for the country.

Yao Junsu, Ying Yanglang under his command, had sharp eyes and quick hands, hugged him, and persuaded:
"Mr. Qu Tu, you can't do this!"

The rest of the soldiers also rushed over to stop Qu Tutong who wanted to commit suicide.
