This time Cui Che led an army of 200,000 to the west, and the troops were sufficient. He did not adopt the method of besieging three buildings, but besieged the city on all sides. He was determined not to let Qu Tutong escape.

Hundreds of thousands of copies of the "Letter to the Elders of Guanxi" were thrown away in just one morning. Since Qu Tutong never ordered the forcible collection, all these papers were privately hidden by the soldiers and civilians in the city who had found them as treasures, 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 inevitably 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 to break out of the encirclement at night and ask for help from Daxing. I also ask Duke Qu Tu to agree."

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

"Maybe you can give it a try. If you are lucky enough to break through, please Xianhe and tell the King of Qi for me that I have never betrayed the country."

As soon as the war began, he saw no hope of victory. All Qu Tutong could do was to try his best to buy time for Yu Wenshu and others. Now Cui Che has been delayed for more than half a month. Whether it is life or death, Qu Tutong has no choice.

Pay more attention to it.

Sang Xianhe said seriously:

"Please rest assured, Duke Qu Tu, I will fight my way out of the siege and bring reinforcements to Duke Qu Tu."

Qu Tutong was noncommittal. Even if Sang Xianhe really returned to Daxing, how could Yu Wenshu and Gao Jiong send reinforcements so that Cui Che could gather reinforcements and conduct a field battle.

Sang Xianhe said goodbye to Qu Tutong. Just as he turned around, Qu Tutong shouted:

"Wait a minute!"

Sang Xianhe was shocked, thinking that Qu Tutong had seen through the flaw. When he turned around, sweat was already dripping from his back.

But Qu Tutong didn't notice it, he sighed:

"I also ask Xianhe to tell my two sons that their father died for his country and died a worthy death. I will entrust all the affairs of the family to them. I hope they can work harder on the basis of loyalty and filial piety in the future."

Sang Xianhe breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously:

"Sang will never forget Duke Qu Tu's instructions."

Late at night, Qu Tutong made noise in the east of the city to attract Cui Che's attention.

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

Qu Tutong thought that Sang Xianhe was mobilizing before breaking out. However, Sang Xianhe who leaked out of the west of the city shouted with his soldiers:

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

As soon as these words came out, everyone changed their minds and started talking loudly.

"By doing this, Lord Qu Tu, isn't he going to put everyone in the city to death?"

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

"General Sang, please give me some advice to Duke Qu Tu. We are not afraid of death, but what about our parents, wives and children? Without the "Letter to the Elders of Guanxi", they would be enslaved by the people of Guandong forever.

Can’t turn over.”

The love was so deep that there were loud cries, and everyone begged with tears in their eyes, hoping that Sang Xianhe could persuade Qu Tutong to change his mind.

However, Sang Xianhe looked helpless and said with tears streaming down his face:

"Sang knows all about your difficulties. I also have parents, a wife and children, but what can I do?

"Now that Duke Qu Tu has made up his mind, it will be difficult to change it.

"Everyone, please hand over the "Letter to the Fathers of Guanxi" that you have kept privately, so that I can have an explanation with Duke Qu Tu."

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

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

"Now that the matter has come to this, why don't we call General Sang to call on the soldiers and civilians in the city to resist Qu Tutong together, so that our family can have a way to survive!"

"Yes! Qu Tutong is stubborn and wants all the soldiers and civilians in the city to bury him with him. If we fight hard, we will have a way to survive!"

"Don't hesitate any more! General Sang! The life and death of the entire city's soldiers and civilians depend on your thoughts!"

Seeing that he had successfully mobilized everyone's emotions, Sang Xianhe finally shouted:

"Okay! Tonight you and I will fight for ourselves, our families, and the innocent people in Feng Yi City!

"Capture the city! Offer it to the King of Yan! Make your wife a wife! Gain wealth!"

When everyone heard this, they all fell into a frenzy and shouted after him:

"Capture the city! Offer it to the King of Yan! Make your wife a wife! Gain wealth!"

A rebellion suddenly broke out in Feng Yi City.

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

At the same time, he left his confidants and led a hundred people to guard the city gate, waiting for the Eastern Sui army to enter the city.

Sang Xianhe led the rest of the troops and marched to the east of the city, shouting loudly along the way to inform the people in the city that Qu Tutong wanted to forcibly confiscate the "Book of Complaints to the Elders of Guanxi" and anyone who dared to keep it privately would be killed.

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

They all knew that if Qu Tutong confiscated the "Letter to the Elders of Guanxi", the city would definitely fall, and everyone would have no way to survive, and their children and grandchildren would have to work as slaves.

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

It was impossible for Qu Tutong not to notice such a big movement. When he learned of Sang Xianhe's rebellion, Qu Tutong immediately sent troops to suppress it.

Only the soldiers who put down the rebellion encountered Sang Xianhe's large army, and they all turned against him.

When the rebel army marched near the east gate, Qu Tutong used a torch and saw the angry soldiers and some unarmed people in the crowd. He did not order the soldiers on the wall to fire arrows, but shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Everyone, don't be deceived by Sang Xianhe. I never said I would confiscate your book collection!"

Qu Tutong tried to calm everyone's emotions.

However, Sang Xianhe did not allow him to defend himself. He shouted loudly:

"Yang Guang moved south and abandoned the people of Guanxi. If you want to give Feng Yi's army and people a way out, why don't you want to open the city and surrender to King Yan!

"Do you have to persevere to the end, anger King Yan, and harm innocent people in order to fulfill your loyalty?"

Qu Tutong was speechless. The soldiers and civilians who followed 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 wavering.

Suddenly, the deafening sound of horse hooves sounded in the west of the city, and Sang Xianhe shouted excitedly:

"This is King Yan entering the city!"

Apart from Cui Che, how could Feng Yi have so many cavalry nowadays?

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 embarrass you."

After saying this, he was about to jump off the tower and die for his country.

So Ying Yanglang, his subordinate, Yao Junsu, had quick eyesight and quick hands, hugged him and urged him:

"Mr. Qu Tu, you can't do this!"

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