The moonlight is setting, the autumn night is long, and the lights on Cizhou City are bright.

In order to strictly prevent the Song army from attacking at night, Han Ji, the garrison guard of Cizhou, sent people to patrol at night, and ordered people to light torches on the city walls, and they did not go out all night. The defending generals in Cizhou all went to the city tower to patrol the enemy situation at night, following Han Ji's instructions.

The general stationed at the northern gate of Cizhou was nothing but Han Ji's deputy general You Tong. You Tong was in his early thirties and served as a general under Han Ji's tent in his early years. He was Han Ji's confidant. You Tong was ordered by Han Ji to guard the city gate day and night, and did not dare to neglect the slightest.

That night, You Tong was still wearing armor and holding a painting halberd in his hand, patrolling the north gate tower as usual. At about the second update, he vaguely heard the sound of shouting and killing from the Song army camp outside the city. The soldiers standing on the high ground were rushing to report: "Report to the general, there is a sound of shouting and killing in the Song army camp outside the gate. I don't know what happened!"

You Tong hurried to the female wall to watch. He saw many torches lit up in the Song army camp from afar, and some fighting and shouting came. He hurriedly sent an order: "I will send the order to my general order. All the soldiers of the army will come to the city wall. Everyone is ready to prevent the Song army from siegeing the city overnight!"

After listening to the command of the commander, the officers and soldiers guarding the city came to the city wall to strengthen their vigilance, took out strong bows and crossbows, arranged wooden and rocks, and prepared to defend the dead at any time.

"General You, come and see, the Song army camp seems to be on fire!" A sentry found that the Song camp was on fire and hurriedly reported.

You Tong looked into the Song camp again, and sure enough, there were fires in the Song army camp, as if some camps were lit. With the fires, You Tong saw the scene of fighting in the Song army camp again, and I don’t know what happened.

Just as he was suspicious, he saw the army horses in the Song camp dispersing everywhere, and he must have retreated. You Tong was overjoyed when he saw this and thought the Song army was going to stop the army, but he saw many military horses holding torches gathering under the city. The torches gathered from outside the north gate, and then arranged a formation a hundred steps away from the city gate, forming a bright and visible long dragon.

"General, look, it's our reinforcements here!" Several bright-eyed soldiers took the lead in seeing the clothes of the horses outside the door, and saw that they were wearing brocade hats and sable furs and black toothed flags. They were the Jin army.

After hearing the shout, You Tong looked down at the city. Sure enough, he saw a Jin army horse that arrived at the city. You Tong wanted to send someone to ask questions, but he saw that the team under the city had already walked to the edge of the moat. In front of the team, several leaders leading troops were standing under the city on horseback.

That's right, this team was the Jin reinforcements pretended to be Liu Yixuan. Liu Yixuan, Yuan Mengqi, Song Tixia, Wang Zichun and others brought the officers and soldiers of the Yongbaku camp to change into Jin's clothes, and were about to pretend to be reinforcements from Handan and sneak into the city of Cizhou. Just now, Hu Yanqing pretended to be defeated and fled everywhere with his brothers under the tent.

Liu Yixuan brought his troops to the north gate, but saw that the city gate was closed, and he didn't know if he could get away with it. He asked someone to hold up the torch and shouted to the city tower: "Listen to everyone on the building, they are all their own family, please open the city gate!"

When the soldiers guarding the city heard that it was their own family, they predicted that reinforcements from Handan had arrived. They hurriedly said to You Tong: "General, we must be our reinforcements. Open the city gate."

When You Tong heard the reinforcements arrived, he was naturally happy. He wanted to open the city gate, but he was afraid that it was the Song army's plan. Besides, the night was dark, so he had no idea about the situation of this team. He hurriedly asked on the city: "Where did you come from? Whose general order did you obey?"

When Liu Yixuan heard the people in the city questioning, he replied: "We are a team from Handan. We came to lift the siege of Cizhou under the order of Marshal Guo! I was worried that the general would open the door and let the brothers go to the city to rest."

You Tong smiled and said, "Oh, it turns out that they are brothers from Handan. You have worked hard all the way and have just fought in the Song camp, but you?"

"It was us who came to rescue Cizhou under the order of the marshal. Seeing that there were many Song troops stationed outside the city, we robbed his camp overnight and burned a lot of their food and supplies. You can open the city gate and let us enter the city!"

"Oh, that's the case." He asked again: "Dare you ask the general, did the Song army outside the door retreat?"

"We have all been killed back, so don't worry!" Liu Yixuan was anxious when he saw that he asked this and that, but he didn't open the city gate, and urged him again: "We have just fought with the Song army, and many brothers were injured. Please ask the general to open the city gate quickly and let our brothers enter the city to heal their wounds."

After hearing this, You Tong was not sure whether the person coming was a reinforcement from Handan. He secretly ordered someone to report to Han Ji and asked him to come to the north gate to confirm. However, Han Ji guarded the east gate and it took about half an hour to go back and forth. Therefore, You Tong had to delay with the people outside the city again.

You Tong said, "General, don't be anxious. I have sent someone to report to the superior. If you receive the superior's order, you will open the door with you."

After hearing this, Liu Yixuan and everyone became worried. Obviously, the general guarding the city did not fully believe in him. If Han Ji had really come and asked about the matter in Handan City or some things about Yaoshi Guo, he would not be able to answer them. Wouldn't he have to reveal the filling?

"No, then Han Ji was originally a former general of Guo Yaoshi. The general under Guo Yaoshi's account must have known him much. I claim to be reinforcements sent by Guo Yaoshi. If Han Ji asked about my name or the military banner, wouldn't I be exposed if I couldn't answer? This is not possible. I can't delay any longer. I have to add some pressure to this guy on the city tower!"

Liu Yixuan had made up his mind and shouted sternly to You Tong: "Who is the one who is guarding the door upstairs? How dare you turn us out? This is obviously distrust of us! Since you don't trust us, why should we work hard for you? Besides, what does it have to do with us? If it weren't for Old Man Han asking for letters, I wouldn't bother with your idiots!" He turned around and said to the soldiers: "Brothers, since they don't let us enter the city, let's go back the same way! Anyway, the Song army surrounded their Cizhou, why should we work hard for them?"

After Liu Yixuan said this, Teacher Yuan and others naturally understood his intentions and quickly agreed, "Yes, why do you work for them? Let's go back!" So the soldiers were bustling with people, complaining, shouting that they would go back home.

When You Tong saw the group of military horses under the city, he was afraid that his suspicion would cause a big mistake. If they were really angry, they would not be able to explain to Han Ji. He quickly smiled and said: "People generals, don't misunderstand. I really have no intention of doubting you. It's just that Generals have issued military orders. Without his orders, the officials dare not open the city gate privately. So please wait for a while. When General Han comes, they will let you in!"

When Song Tiehe heard this, he cursed sternly: "It's a big deal. We came from afar and didn't even have time to drink. You asked us to wait outside the city gate. We clearly don't take us seriously. Han Ji is nothing. I don't want to bring troops to rescue him because of Marshal Guo's face. It's better that he won't let me enter the city. I'll take people back first!" As he said that, he was about to turn the horse's head and take the troops behind him. When coach Yuan saw that Song Tiehe was going to withdraw his troops, he also said sternly: "I've brought troops back too. At the third update of the night, who would be willing to come to fight?" He said to Liu Yixuan: "General Liu, I'll say goodbye first, you can wait slowly at the door of others!" He also turned the horse's head.

Seeing this situation, You Tong thought that they had fought hard with the Song army outside the door for half a day, and it should be the reinforcements from Handan. He began to worry. He was really afraid that the reinforcements he had been looking forward to would be driven away by him. He had no choice but to make up his mind and quickly said to the people outside the door: "Don't calm down, don't take the troops back. I'll leave the city to greet you!"

You Tong only said that he would come out of the city to greet him, but did not say that he would let them in. The purpose was to stabilize their emotions first. Moreover, he also planned to go out of the city to check if the visitor was his own friendly army. If he could determine the identity of the visitor, he naturally didn't have to worry. Even if he couldn't be sure, he could deal with them for a while and delay the time.

When Liu Yixuan heard that You Tong was going out of the city to greet him, he knew that he had fallen into a trap. As long as he opened the city gate and put down the suspension bridge, he would be unable to do anything. Liu Yixuan turned around and winked at the generals, asking them to act according to the opportunity. As long as the city gate was wide open, they could rush in.

You Tong ordered people to put down the suspension bridge and brought a team of people out of the city to greet him. The only two or three hundred people followed him. Seeing that You Tong had opened the city gate, Liu Yixuan walked up to him and answered. You Tong came to Liu Yixuan in three or two steps. Seeing that he was wearing gold clothes, he also looked like a Song man. He was sure that he was also a surrendered general. He quickly bowed and said, "I have been to help the general rescue Cizhou, but there is no general's order. The last general dared not let a few people enter the city. I have sent people to invite General Han, and he will come soon." You Tong looked at Liu Yixuan's appearance again, and he was young and handsome. Just looking at the life, he came again, "I dare to ask the general's name. I have been to Handan many times before, why have I never seen a general?"

Seeing that he doubted him, Liu Yixuan smiled and said, "I am a newly promoted general from Marshal Guo. Of course, you have never seen it before. But, there is a Song Tixia who came with me, you must have seen it!"

"Oh, Song Tiexia? Which Song Tiexia is it?" You Tong asked hurriedly without knowing that it was a plan.

Liu Yixuan turned around and said to Song Tixia in the match: "Song Tixia, this general should be your old acquaintance. Come and meet him!"

Song Tiexia had long recognized him with the torch beside You Tong. This You Tong was Deputy General Han Ji who fought fiercely outside the east gate that day. Song Tiexia rushed over with a knife, walked to You Tong, and sneered, "You Tong, do you still recognize me?"

When You Tong saw Song Tixia's appearance, he recognized him as a general of the Song army. He was shocked and knew that he had fallen into the trap. He hurriedly shouted: "You? You are the army of the Song Dynasty. No, we have fallen into the trap!"

You Tong shouted and hurriedly turned around and rushed to the city, but she didn't expect that Song Tie was ready, so she secretly held the long sword tightly. When You Tong turned around and wanted to escape, she waved the sword to slash at him. You Tong couldn't dodge, but was stabbed by Song Tie behind her back, and turned over and fell off the horse.

Seeing that the chief general was killed, the officers and soldiers guarding the city hurriedly turned around and ran away. The officers and soldiers on the building saw that the visitor was the enemy, so they hurriedly wanted to raise the suspension bridge, but the suspension bridge was full of their comrades, so they couldn't lift it up for a while. Seeing this, Liu Yixuan hurriedly shouted: "Brothers, if you don't kill into the city at this time, when will you wait! Kill!..."

After the Song army received the order of general, Hulala came to the city. Since the Song army was on the edge of the moat, they jumped onto the suspension bridge in three or two steps, cut off the rope of the suspension bridge, and rushed to the bottom of the city gate. The soldiers in the city hurriedly wanted to close the city gate, but the people that You Tong had just taken out were also going back to the city. For a while, people were crowded, and the soldiers guarding the door could not close the city gate at all. In addition, the Song army outside the door could not distinguish between the enemy and us for a while, so they could only watch the people outside the door rushing in like a tide.

Liu Yixuan, Song Tixia and others rushed towards the city with their own men. The soldiers on the city could not tell the difference between the enemy and us and did not dare to shoot arrows easily, and they were stunned. The soldiers of the "Yang" camp came into the city gate, unbuttoned their sleeves, exposed their left arms, and saw the enemies, and went up to fight.
