"Brother, what should I do? Will the siege continue tomorrow? Duan Shujun asked. Duan Pixi said:"This small town in Zhengbei was built so strong by Liu Kun that it seems difficult to break through for a while." Let's just besiege him for a few days and see what they do!"

Liu Zun was thinking about strategies to defeat the enemy in the big tent. Yang Qiao, Rusui and Long Ji took turns leading soldiers to patrol and guard various city gates. After a few days, Long Ji said to Liu Zun:"Major General, we The food and grass are gone. In order to survive, some horses were killed!"

"I know all this, but I don’t have any good ideas. Just hold on for a few more days! Liu Zun said. Upon hearing what Liu Zun said, Long Ji walked out of the tent angrily and came outside. He led dozens of his own soldiers and met Yang Qiao and several soldiers who were patrolling the camp. Long Ji With a wink, several soldiers went up and killed Yang Qiao while Yang Qiao was not paying attention. Several soldiers following Yang Qiao shouted:"Killing!" Master Yang Qiao was killed by Long Ji!"

Ji didn't stop doing anything. He led his soldiers to open the camp door, rushed out and came to Duan Pixi, knelt down and saluted:"King Zuo Xian, Long Ji is willing to follow you in front of you and behind the horse!" Duan

Pixi got off the horse and pulled Long Ji up. Duan Pixi said:"General Long Ji understands justice well, I admire him!" When I eliminate Duan Mobo, we will share the glory and wealth!"

Liu Zun heard the shouting of killing, put on his armor and led his soldiers to the south gate of the city. Duan Pixun's soldiers had already rushed into the small town of Zhengbei, shouting to kill. Duan Shujun's soldiers were shooting arrows and shouting, and Liu Zun led The soldiers also began to fight back. Liu Zun's soldiers only numbered 2,000, and Long Ji took away hundreds of them.

Some of Liu Kun's calligraphy and paintings were taken away from Liu Kun's tent.

Pi Lusong, the governor of Daijun, Wang Zhi, the governor of Yanmen, and Han Zhi, Liu Kun's general, had a good relationship. Liu Kun was detained by Duan Pixi. After that, Wang Zhi and Han Zhi each led hundreds of men to Dai Wangcheng and defected to Pilu Song. The three of them were discussing matters in the government office. Han Zhi said:"Duan Pizheng sent Duan Shu's army to attack Liu Qun. Jicheng must be empty.. If we can work together to defeat Jicheng, it will be a great achievement!"

"Then let's reorganize our troops today and attack Jicheng tomorrow! Pilu Song said and looked at Han Ju. Han Ju praised:"Master Pilu is very resourceful. We will see the results tomorrow!""

In the middle of the night, many places in Daiwang City suddenly caught fire. Pilu Song, Han Zhi, and Wang Zhi were shocked. The three of them quickly organized their troops and horses to prepare for a counterattack, but it was too late. In the light of the fire, more and more people were seen. Soldiers with multiple pieces of horses have already invaded Daiwang City. Pilu Song rushed to the bustling east gate of Daiwang City, and Wang Zhi led hundreds of people to defend the south gate. In the light of the fire, only a man riding a yellow horse was seen. Horse. Pilu Song took a look and saw that it was Duan Pixi. Pilu Song wanted to escape, but was shot by Duan Pixi's soldiers and was wounded and captured. In the melee, Han Zhi was also wounded and captured. Dai Wangcheng Many soldiers were shot and killed, and there were many dead and injured soldiers lying on the street. Duan Pixi was still angry and asked Pilu Song:"Pilu Song, you are the governor of Daijun whom I appointed. But not only do you not know how to repay your kindness, you also colluded with several of Liu Kun's men to rebel and plot to capture Jicheng. Isn't it just wishful thinking?"

"Duan Pixi, how did you know? Han Zhi asked loudly. Duan Pizhen laughed and said,"Han Zhi!" You three don't have a few more hours to live! Then let me tell you, what you thought was a secret was unexpectedly reported by your daughter in Han Dynasty! Don’t forget, your daughter is my son’s concubine!"

"Oh! I'm furious! Han Zhi shouted:"Damn daughter!" Pilu

Song held his head high and did not speak, but glared angrily. At the south gate of Dai Wang City, Wang Zhi was also captured by Uncle Duan's army who returned from the small town in Zhengbei. Two thousand Duan Pixi soldiers were escorting Liu Zunhe's thousands of soldiers. Pilu Song, Han Zheng, Wang Zheng and several other generals were all tied up by Wu Hua Da. Liu Zun, Pilu Song, Han Zheng, Wang Zhi looked at each other and said nothing. The nearly a thousand soldiers under them, They were escorted out of the east gate of Daiwang City by Duan Pixi's soldiers and were ready to be taken back to Jicheng. When the large group of people were approaching the west gate of Jicheng, Duan Shujun quietly asked:"Brother, what should we do with these people? There are so many dreams in the long night!"

"My brother is right, these people cannot be kept!"Duan Pizhen said, and made a killing motion with his right hand. After walking for a while, Duan Pizhen saw a big pit not far away. So he said to Duan Shujun:"There is no need to take it to the government office for interrogation. Let’s start here!"

Duan Shujun nodded, and then said to several generals around him:"Kill them all!"

Liu Zun, Wang Zhi, Pilu Song, Han Zhi and other generals were first taken to the edge of the pit and knelt down. Duan Pizhen looked at these people and asked:"Liu Zun, Pilu Song, Wang Ju, Han Zhi, do you people regret it? Your heads are about to fall off, what else is there to say?"

No one spoke, and no one was frightened. Behind Liu Zun and others stood a soldier named Duan Pixi with his sword raised high. They looked blankly into the distance, then looked back at the soldiers who had been fighting and killing with them for many years. The soldiers shook their heads and sighed helplessly.

"Do it!"With Duan Shujun's order, several people were beheaded. Only Liu Zun was not killed. The heads of Pi Lusong, Wang Zhi, Han Zhi and several other generals rolled into the pit, and then Their headless corpses were also thrown into the pit. The captured soldiers beside the pit cried out, and some began to resist. Duan Pizhen ordered:"Kill all these surrendered soldiers, leaving no one behind!" Archers, shoot now!"

In a short time, these captured soldiers were shot and killed. Some of Duan Pixian's soldiers were still holding swords to check whether there were still alive. Anyone who was still breathing would be replenished. After a few cuts, Duan Shujun saw that it was almost done and ordered:"Brothers, throw all these things that are against us into the big pit and bury them!"

The big pit is invisible. There are only pools of blood on the edge of the big pit.
