The Fufeng Army scouts outside the city saw someone waving their arms on the parapet on the city wall, and immediately went back to report the advance.

The first to march were eighty Shangzhou warriors. They left the Fufeng Army and headed towards the east city gate.

Lu Tao ordered the suspension bridge to be lowered and the city gate to be opened. Because it was getting dark, the city gate had been closed not long ago.

The suspension bridge was lowered by the strong men on the city wall. The defenders in the city gate thought it was the city gate official's order and opened the city gate, allowing eighty Shangzhou warriors to enter the barbican and walk through the barbican to go to the county government office.

The thirty guards who were ordered to guard the east city gate passed by eighty strong men on the street. They just looked at each other curiously and walked past each other in peace and had nothing to do with themselves.

After the prison guards arrived, Lu Tao dismissed the rest, saying that the guards were preparing troops and would come back if anything happened.

The guards came to the city gate reluctantly. After hearing this, they immediately left to find a place to rest, and some of them hadn't eaten yet.

After dispatching the prison guards, Lu Tao dispatched dozens of former defenders, on the grounds that they had to keep their spirits up and take over the guard duty in the middle of the night.

The original defender was not easy to fool. Why didn't he see the city gate officer to give orders?

Lu Tao said nothing and asked the defenders who had doubts to go up to the tower and ask the city gate official.

As a result, no one wanted to go. Many team coaches noticed something was wrong, but their numbers were not dominant and they did not dare to step forward and cause trouble.

Seeing dozens of former defenders leaving their weapons and leaving, Lu Tao ordered the city to be opened again, allowing four hundred Fufeng troops to successfully enter the east gate.

However, some of the former defenders were suspicious and secretly saw the troops entering the city gate. Someone immediately rushed to the county government to report the news.

"Stand here, don't you know that the gate of the square is locked and you are not allowed to wander outside?" The two defenders who rushed to report the news encountered a group of soldiers in bright armor.

"Sir, there has been a change at the East City Gate, and a large amount of unknown military force has been put in." A messenger hurriedly explained.

"Really? Take it." The leading soldier waved his hand and ordered. He immediately rushed out more than a dozen soldiers and killed the two messengers with his sword.

"How did you do it? There was someone reporting the news." A soldier complained.

"Don't talk nonsense. We have few people at the East City Gate, so being able to put in military strength is already the best result." The leading soldier retorted.

After a while, 400 Fufeng troops and nearly 200 Sword and Shield Fufeng troops joined together, and under the guidance of the guide, they rushed to the county government mansion.

...

In the county government office, Wei Fufeng and his son sat there for half an hour. Wei Fufeng asked his father to go out for a walk.

The father and son and their subordinates walked to the gate of the county government office. The gate was closed tightly. There were Cao's rooms built on the left and right of the gate, and there were four officials on duty inside.

"Oh, Mr. County Magistrate, I wonder why you are here?" A head catcher walked out of Cao's room and asked.

"My father is unwell and went out to see my husband." Wei Fufeng replied.

"Oh, are you coming back?" the head catcher asked.

"I'm not going back, I'm going back to the inn." Wei Fufeng replied.

The catcher nodded. He understood that even if he asked the county magistrate to leave, he would not be questioned by the county magistrate, so he was not guilty of obstructing the superior. He turned around and called for someone to open the door.

Two government officials came out and opened the heavy county government door.

The door just opened a gap, and was pushed with a huge force. The two government officials were not prepared, and they screamed and fell after being hit by the door.

The door opened sharply, and many strong men rushed in, like a pack of hungry wolves rushing towards the government officials.

Wei Xuan screamed and backed away, but was supported by his son. He saw the strong men rushing in divided into two lines and passed around the father and son.

The father and son seemed to be the mainstay inside the gate, watching the crowds passing by.

"Fufeng, what is this?"

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Wei Xuan finally saw clearly who the strong man was.

"They are all rioters and have nothing to do with us." Wei Fufeng responded in a low voice.

Wei Xuan took a breath of air and listened to the screams of the government officials and the chaotic running sounds. When the so-called rebels were gone, he whispered urgently: "Fufeng, are you trying to kill officials and rebel?"

"The officials in Jinzhou deserve to die. They only know how to exercise power and exploit the people, and are unwilling to build water conservancy projects to benefit the country." Wei Fufeng replied softly.

Wei Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, asking: "Did your grandfather give the order?"

"Yes, otherwise why would my grandfather send a large number of strong men? My grandfather wants to seize Jinzhou." Wei Fufeng replied.

Wei Xuan was surprised: "Is it possible for you to do this?"

"Haier has taken control of the state government and is now attacking the county government." Wei Fufeng replied.

"What? The Duke's Palace belongs to the royal family. How dare you act so rebelliously?" Wei Xuan said anxiously.

"Dad, the Duke's office is a royal family, but they are sinners who have harmed the country and should be punished." Wei Fufeng replied.

"What? A sinner who harmed the country?" Wei Xuan was confused when he heard this. What kind of fallacy is this?

"Dad, as a royal family, the first thing you should worry about is the survival of the country. The county and government offices in Jinzhou have thousands of troops and have accumulated a lot of food. However, they watched the Tang Dynasty collapse and refused to send troops or food to support the emperor. Therefore, they made a mistake.

A sinner of the country." Wei Fufeng explained.

Wei Xuan was dumbfounded, and Wei Fufeng continued: "As the saying goes, under the overthrow of the nest, there are intact eggs. Many Li royal families occupy a large amount of land and wealth, but they are selfish. If the royal family and nobles are willing to deal with the Huangchao disaster that year,

How could Huang Chao, who dedicated his life to the country, contributed money and effort, allow Huang Chao to capture Chang'an, and when the disaster was imminent, he could only run away to care for himself."

Wei Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, and Wei Fufeng added: "The second crime is to harm one party. A large amount of exploitation engulfed the people's fields and put all the people into a miserable situation where their families were destroyed."

Wei Xuan raised his hand and waved it gently, saying helplessly: "According to your crime, you deserve to die too much, so there is no need to say more."

Wei Fufeng smiled and said: "Dad, let's go back to the public house and hide the wronged father and the child under the case."

Wei Xuan was slightly startled and asked, "Why hide it?"

Wei Fufeng whispered: "Dad, it's better not to get the reputation of killing officials and rebelling."

Wei Xuan was stunned, then smiled bitterly and shook his head. He and his son went back to the county magistrate's house and hid under the case together. In fact, there was no cover under the case and there was no way to hide it. It was clearly a cover-up.

The father and son sat under the case, listening to the chaos outside, while four strong men stood guard at the door. They all didn't understand the adults' strange behavior, but no one dared to say anything.

The leaders of the strong men in Shangzhou followed Wei Fufeng's order and rushed into the county government office to rob and kill them. However, they did not kill anyone on sight. The slaves and government servants who could kneel down and beg for mercy would be spared. However, the four government officials at the gate were killed.

.

The leaders killed the county magistrate, his wife and children, and the chief secretary Chang who was talking to the magistrate.

He then went to the prison to fight and defeat the government officials and guards who stayed behind, and negotiated terms with the prisoners in the prison. Only those who were willing to go to the county government to rob could be released.

Most of the prisoners in the prison are so-called rioters and bandits, so they naturally respond to every call.

So more than 400 prisoners were released from the cage. Most of them followed the strong men of Shangzhou to kill the county government after walking out of the prison door, while the other half of the prisoners slipped away.

The prisoners who escaped would never have imagined that their desperate escape would lead to their own death, and they would become the scapegoats and culprits for the destruction of the Jinzhou County Government.

...

The Duke's Mansion occupies one square in Dongcheng District. The walls are three meters high, making the Duke's Mansion look like a castle.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

.

Nearly six hundred Fufeng troops arrived at the Duke's Mansion when the lanterns were first lit, and unexpectedly broke into the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

In normal times, there are five hundred soldiers in the county government's mansion who are on duty every three days.

However, because some members used their own soldiers to do their bidding, less than 300 of them were actually on duty in the county government. Most of the 500 soldiers who were transferred away by Wei Fufeng's envoy were on rotational leave.

Taking turns to rest is not a day off for domestic soldiers, but rather a period of military training at the school grounds during the day, and they can then go back to their homes to rest at night.

The county government specially built a row of home ownership areas in the northeast corner to give thousands of soldiers a private space, so the soldiers of the county government have a strong fighting capacity and sense of belonging.

The absence of the resting soldiers caused the military strength of the county government to be greatly weakened. In addition, people were slack after dinner, and they did not expect to be attacked by a large army in the city.

The gate of the mansion was lost, and the first strong defense of the county government's mansion failed to serve its intended purpose.

When Fufeng's army invaded the gate of the county government's mansion, strong men from Shangzhou and prisoners also arrived one after another.

There was a time difference between the two armies. The strong men of Shangzhou entered the east city gate first and went directly to attack the county government office, while the Fufeng army entered the east city gate late and went straight to the county government office.

Most of the prisoners were coerced by public sentiment and promises. If they saw that the situation was not good, they would definitely leave in a hurry.

When they saw that so many troops had invaded the county government's mansion, they immediately became excited. Most of them hated the county government's government and were greedy. They rushed towards the gate of the government with great courage, and everyone rushed to get there.

The leaders of the strong men shouted loudly, telling the Fufeng Army at the gate not to misunderstand. When the Fufeng Army saw the huge number of people supporting them, their morale also increased.

The sword and shield soldiers charged forward to clear the way, the spearmen followed closely behind, and the archers and crossbowmen flew arrows like locusts.

After hearing the news, the soldiers who fought back to block the attack screamed repeatedly as they were killed. Many archers of the soldiers were shot first by crossbow arrows as soon as they appeared.

There was no choice but to fight in a panic, with disorderly organization and a huge gap in the number of troops.

The Fufeng Army quickly entered the main hall and began to engage in close combat with the family soldiers.

The domestic soldiers are very tenacious and good at fighting, and there are many warriors with complete armor, but their numbers are inferior. If a hundred of them fight against a mixed army of thousands, they are bound to suffer a loss.

The most lethal weapon for domestic soldiers is the military crossbow. They are already outnumbered, and coupled with the attack of crossbow arrows, many domestic warriors are hit in the face by crossbow arrows, and they are furious on the spot.

The successive victories of the Fufeng Army inspired the prisoners who came later. They picked up various weapons and marched forward bravely. Some of them even outran the Fufeng Army in a chaotic charge.

Where there is a leader, there will be those who follow blindly. The prisoners behind them swarm forward, each one carrying hatred and greed to rob.

Blood filled the cozy homes of wealthy families, and the county government fell into an irreversible hell of killing. The only place without blood was the northeast corner, where nearly a hundred soldiers and many slaves fled into that area.

The leaders of the Fufeng Army and Zhuang Ding strictly ordered not to attack that area and allowed their soldiers to flee without pursuing them. Those who refused to obey were attacked and killed on the spot.

...

Three carriages fled in panic from the back gate of the Duke's Mansion, accompanied by a dozen armored soldiers, and headed straight along the street to the East City Gate. When they arrived at the East City Gate, they were immediately stopped by the defenders.

The door of the first car opened, and a middle-aged man leaned out and shouted angrily: "Yu Tong, drive to the city quickly."

"What's the noise about? Your Excellency is taking a rest." The defender scolded him rudely.

"Damn it, I am the Duke of Xicheng County." The middle-aged man was furious.

"Prince?" The defender raised his gun in surprise and stepped forward. Suddenly, the spear came out and stabbed fiercely into the middle-aged man's throat.
