Li Yan could only be forced to use the worst strategy, tricking the city gate and capturing Pi Hongxuan alive. Using this as a threat, Quezanjiu's chasing occupied Xinyang Prefecture.

Pi Hongxuan strictly prohibited refugees from outside the people of Luoshan County from entering the city. In desperation, Hong Niang had to stand under the city and shout: "Okay, Lord Pi, we agree to your request. Only let us enter the city. As for the other people, we will stay outside the city."

The refugees stopped doing this when the Hongmao shouted. Didn’t this leave us alone? The refugees cried and cried, and they were in chaos.

"No, Hongmao, you can't leave us behind. We want to go into the city and let us in."

"Madam Hong, we will die if we stay outside the city. The King of Rebellion will kill us when he comes."

"Please, Hong Madam, please be kind and save us..."

The refugees outside the city were wailing, and they knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Hongmao and begged. However, Hongmao seemed to be determined and had no intention of helping.

A satisfied smile appeared on Pi Hongxuan's face: "Ministry Hong, you can choose what you should do."

Pi Hongxuan wrote his face on his face, and he knew that if the Hongmao couldn't handle these refugees, they wouldn't be able to enter the city.

It is impossible to give up the refugees and enter the city by themselves. Unless the Hongniang takes violent measures, that is, forcibly orders his subordinates to take action against the refugees. Otherwise, once the city gate is opened, these refugees will rush forward regardless of the situation.

If Hong Niang refused to enter the city, she would divide the relationship between her and the refugees. After all, the refugees were grateful to Hong Niang, and Hong Niang seemed to be the life-saving Bodhisattva in their hearts.

If the Hongmao abandoned them at this time, the refugees would be as disappointed as the Hongmao would be.

Pi Hongxuan, who is well versed in the way of being an official, certainly did not want Hongniang to overshadow her prestige among the people. This was the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty. He treated his own people viciously and timidly when treating foreign enemies.

The Hong Madam was not polite, she ordered coldly: "Su Su, form a human wall and prohibit refugees from coming forward."

Ling Susu gave the order, the three thousand iron armors under Hong Niangzi held a spear in hand and pointed them at the refugees.

The refugees were stunned for a moment, obviously they were not ready to be abandoned by the Red Lady. When they realized that, the refugees' faces were full of anger.

No one thought that the Hongniang had saved them. What they were angry about was abandoned. The God in the hearts of the refugees and the living Bodhisattva in the hearts of the people suddenly turned against each other and pointed the spear in their hands at these refugees.

The refugees were discouraged and indignant, and they looked at Hongniang's subordinates angrily. However, Hongniang's subordinates were as cold as ice, and only the spear in their hands shone with cold light.

The purpose of the division of subordinates had already achieved, and then Pi Hongxuan sneered and waved his hand: "Half open the city gate, let Hong Niangzi's subordinates enter the city first."

Pi Hongxuan knew very well that once the thief Li Zicheng came, what he needed most now was military strength. The thousands of soldiers and horses in the hands of Hong Niang played an important role in him. As for those people, the people would only waste food.

The regular army is different after all. Xinyang Prefecture has nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Ming army. With the team of Hongniangzi, Li Zicheng thought it would not be so easy to defeat Xinyang Prefecture with a high city wall.

The city gate was half open, and Pi Hongxuan was scheming. Li Yan saw it but did not point it out. The first one to enter the city was Hongniang's army. Hongniang and Li Yan led their subordinates and retreated along the half-closed city gate and retreated into Xinyang Mansion.

Then, the people of Luoshan County and the refugees got mixed up. Just when the people of Luoshan County wanted to follow them into the city, the city gate suddenly closed slowly.

The people and refugees in Luoshan County outside the city immediately started to clamor and closed the city gate, which separated the two worlds.

The people still wanted to enter the city, but the city gate was closed, and the Ming archers on the city wall began to aim at the people under the city. If the people dared to force the city gate, the archers would kill them.

The Hongniang was furious and took Ling Susu and his men to Dengdeng to the city tower to find Pi Hongxuan.

As soon as they met, Hong Niang asked sternly: "Sir Pi, it's not my promise that the people of Luoshan County will be allowed to enter the city. Why did you break your promise and become fat!"

At this time, Pi Hongxuan played Tai Chi, and he looked at Hong Niangzi with a smile on his face: "Oh, Hong Magistrate is not impatient, don't be impatient, look at the people of Luoshan County and the refugees are in the same place. How can I distinguish between this official? Besides, Xinyang Prefecture cannot tolerate so many people. It is already a big deal to let you enter the city. Hong Niangzi, you should be able to take it and put it down in troubled times. These refugees are just mouths for eating. Why don't you understand this principle?"

"That's right, Lord Pi said this very much. Madam, we shouldn't be kind to women." Li Yan walked over from behind.

Pi Hongxuan was overjoyed when he heard this. He looked at Hong Madam and asked, "Who is this?"

Li Yan smiled and bowed: "Li Yan is a husband and wife with Hong Niangzi."

Pi Hongxuan immediately bowed and bowed enthusiastically: "Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Li, I'm lucky to be happy."

Li Yan also replied: "I have also admired Lord Pi's reputation for a long time. This is Miss Ling Susu Ling from our Luoshan County, Miss Ling, this is Master Pi."

Li Yan said, leaning close to Pi Hongxuan. Pi Hongxuan was stunned and didn't quite understand why Li Yan introduced a general of Hongniangzi to him. Seeing Ling Susu coming forward, he couldn't lose his courtesy for a while, so Pi Hongxuan had to reluctantly give in.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Ling Susu suddenly bullied her body. She grabbed Pi Hongxuan and suddenly had a short knife in her hand. Ling Susu's short knife pressed against Pi Hongxuan's neck, and then took the initiative, and Pi Hongxuan immediately became a hostage.

Pi Hongxuan has many personal soldiers, so how could it be so easy to surrender? The question is, who would have thought that the Hong Niangzi's people would come to arrest him. Hong Niangzi's move is tantamount to rebellion.

Ling Susu's short knife pressed against Pi Hongxuan's neck, and Pi Hongxuan was shocked: "Minister Hong, you, what are you doing!"

Pi Hongxuan's personal soldiers were ready to move, and Ling Susu used a short knife in her hand and said, "Who catches up!"

Pi Hongxuan was afraid of being a soldier, so he had to take a step back one after another, and no one dared to rescue him. The people who were originally noisy outside the city saw the scene on the city wall, and the crowd immediately became quiet. Who would have thought that the men of Hong Niangzi actually captured the prefect of Xinyang Prefecture.

Pi Hongxuan was still stubborn: "Minister of Hong, I am the imperial court official, your boss. What do you want to do? You know that you are a rebellion!"

Li Yan sneered and took out a letter from his arms: "People are in charge of the prince's hand. The governor of Xinyang Prefecture, Pi Hongxuan, was incompetent and dismissed immediately. The Hongniangzi temporarily took over Xinyang Prefecture. If you violate the order and refuse to obey, you will be killed without any attention!"
