After the rebels of the Kingdom and Han Sui arrived in Ji County, they immediately surrounded Ji County and prepared to attack the city.

Fu Xie, who was in the city of Ji County, learned that the rebels were besieging the city. He immediately came to the city tower and shouted to Guo Guo and Han Sui outside the city: "Guo Guo, Han Sui, you are originally ministers of the Han Dynasty, why do you want to do this?"

Join the rebels and commit rebellion?”

Suddenly hearing Fu Xie's voice, Han Sui and Wang Guo hesitated because they had planned to order an attack on the city.

Immediately afterwards, Han Sui and Wang Guo, escorted by their own soldiers, arrived not far from the city of Ji County.

Looking up, when Han Sui and Wang Guo saw that the person who made the noise was indeed Fu Xie, Wang Guo immediately replied: "Prefect Fu, our kingdom is not a person who does not know the righteousness. If Geng Governor hadn't appointed the corrupt official Cheng Qiu, we would have waited for him.

I will never do anything treacherous and unethical. Now that I have made a big mistake, I can only go to the dark side."

Hearing Wang Guo's words, Fu Xie immediately replied: "Guo Guo, if you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I will protect your life."

The kingdom immediately hesitated upon hearing this, because no one was willing to raise troops to rebel unless it was absolutely necessary.

When Han Sui discovered that the kingdom had been persuaded by Fu Xie, he immediately answered: "Prefect Fu, now that the Holy Emperor favors eunuchs, your words will have no effect at all. If we hand over our military power and accept the recruitment, we will only die.

"

As soon as Han Sui finished speaking, the kingdom immediately recovered from his hesitation, because Han Sui's words woke him up, and he immediately gave up his intention to surrender.

Seeing that Han Sui's words made the kingdom no longer hesitate, Fu Xie also gave up the idea of ​​persuading the kingdom.

At this time, Han Sui said again: "Prefect Fu, I have always heard that you treat the people well and respect the people far and near. We do not want to be your enemy. If Prefect Fu withdraws his troops, we do not need to send troops to pursue them."

When Fu Xie heard what Han Sui said, he laughed and replied: "Since I have eaten Han Sui's salary, it is impossible to escape."

As soon as the kingdom heard this, he persuaded again: "Prefect Fu, are you afraid that we will not keep our word? Our kingdom can guarantee that if there are any soldiers chasing Taishou Fu, I will kill these soldiers with my own hands."

"Kingdom, Han Sui, you don't need to waste any more words. I, Fu Xie, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. If you want to fight, then I will fight."

Seeing that Fu Xie was thinking hard, Wang Guo immediately said to Han Sui: "Master Han, Governor Fu is so staunch, what should we do?"

"Sir Wang, there are basically no official troops in Liangzhou now. As long as we conquer Ji County, Liangzhou will be free for us to roam. Since Governor Fu is unwilling to abandon the city, then we will fight until Governor Fu voluntarily evacuates.

"

After thinking about Han Sui's words carefully, Wang Guo replied: "Master Han, I agree with your opinion, but try not to hurt Governor Fu's life. He is a rare good official."

"Master Wang, don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."

After the rebels repaired overnight, Han Sui immediately sent his general Zhang Heng to lead his army to attack the city.

When Ma Teng, the commander of the army who was waiting on the city tower, saw this, he immediately ordered his soldiers to start defending the city. However, the rebels were strong and Ma Teng had a very difficult time defending the city.

After Fu Xie learned about it, he immediately rushed to the tower in person with a long sword in hand and went into battle to kill the enemy.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw Fu Xie going into battle in person, their morale was high and they suppressed the rebel attack.

Besides, when Ma Teng saw that Fu Xie actually went into battle in person, he immediately rushed to Fu Xie's side and said, "Prefect Fu, why are you coming to the city? It's dangerous on the top of the city tower. You'd better get down quickly!"

"Ma Shoucheng, since I, Fu Xie, have ordered to defend the city, I cannot let the soldiers shed their blood and sacrifice in vain. After all, if I agree to the advice of Han Sui and the kingdom, they should all live."

When Ma Teng heard this, he was extremely moved.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Teng said respectfully: "Prefect Fu, in this case, Shoucheng will protect you and fight the enemy together with you."

"That's good, I feel very at ease with Shoucheng by my side!"

After the day's offensive and defensive battle, Han Sui and the kingdom once again persuaded Fu Xie, but Fu Xie was determined to fight the rebels to the end.

In the following days, Han Sui and the kingdom sent troops to attack the city every day, and tried to persuade Fu Xie to escape every day, but Fu Xie did not change his mind at all.

On the seventh day, it was the day agreed with Wang Kaixiang.

Ji County's manpower and material resources have finally come to an end.

Ma Teng, who was guarding the city, saw that there were basically no soldiers left around him, and the supplies for the city defense were basically exhausted. He immediately said to Fu Xie beside him: "Prefect Fu, there is basically no resistance in the city. , the rebels will definitely defeat Ji County the next time they attack the city."

After hearing this, Fu Xie asked: "Shou Cheng, how many days have we been guarding in total?"

"If you include today, it's the seventh day."

Fu Xie suddenly thought to himself: 'Is there still one day left? My nephew, Xin Hao, I have tried my best. I hope you can convey the military information of Liangzhou back in time.'

Thinking of this, Fu Xie said to Ma Teng: "Shoucheng, you must be tired after defending with me for so long! Next time the rebels attack the city, you can lead your troops to surrender."

"Master Fu, what do you mean by this?"

"Shoucheng, I, Fu Xie, have already put life and death aside. You are still young and you still have great years to go. I don't want you to die here with me. You go down to the tower now. When I die, you can lead your troops to surrender." Bar!"

"Master Fu, am I, Ma Shoucheng, a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? I will not go down to the tower. I want to live and die with Master Fu."

When Fu Xie heard this, he immediately drew his sword and put it on Ma Teng's neck and said angrily: "Ma Teng, this is a military order. I order you to leave the tower immediately. If you disobey, I will cut off your head now."

Seeing Fu Xie's serious look, Ma Teng sighed helplessly and replied: "General Ma Teng, as ordered!"

Seeing Ma Teng leave the Ji County Gate Tower, Fu Xie suddenly showed a happy smile.

After a while, the rebels launched another attack on Ji County.

Upon seeing this, Fu Xie killed the rebel soldiers who climbed onto the tower with determination.

When the rebel soldiers saw Fu Xie coming to kill him, they immediately killed Fu Xie with a sword, because the soldiers who boarded the tower at this time were Qiang soldiers, and they did not know who Fu Xie was.

With Fu Xie's death, the officers and soldiers defending the city soon lost their consciousness of resistance.

When Ma Teng learned that Fu Xie had been killed in battle, he suppressed the grief in his heart and led his troops to ask Han Sui and the kingdom to surrender.

With the capture of Ji County, the road to the Sanfu area for the rebels was already smooth.

At the same time, Wang Kai finally led his army to Chang'an City after seven days of long journey.

The Chang'an City defenders immediately closed the city gate after seeing Wang Kai's troops.

When Wang Kai saw the Chang'an City defenders closing the city gate, he immediately stepped forward and shouted: "I am Wang Kai, the governor of Wudu County. I have urgent military information to report to Zhang Sikong."

After hearing Wang Kai's shouting, the guard on the city tower immediately replied: "Wang Taishou, wait a moment. The rebels are rampant now. We have no choice but to close the city gate tightly. We will not open the door until I inform Zhang Sikong."

."

"General, please go quickly. The military situation is urgent and we can't wait long."
