: 160. Burning Xinyang

Chapter name
160. k"; burning Xinyang
Early October
After several days of uninterrupted and fierce attacks, the Xiling army once again slammed into Xinyang City. Then, this time they greeted their gold and silver treasures without the land, no food army, and even the panicked people did not. Shown in front of them is a completely empty city. The entire city is made by themselves.
There is no other sound besides the coming sound. All the residents in the city had already gone to the empty space, and even a grain of food could not be found in the empty house. All the shops were either emptyed or destroyed on the spot. Even the wells in the city were thrown in a lot of debris. It would obviously take some time to re-reference.
The pioneer face that came in the lead rode on the horse's back, his face looked blue and looked at the empty city.
"General, there is no one in the city!" The soldiers who had explored the road came back and sue.
"Budget!" The leader of the Pioneer was furious, and he did not know that the soldiers who were really arrogant were still swearing at themselves. Cursing a few words, I can only send people to obey the town of Nanwang who has not entered the city.
"What is that?" Pioneer frowned, pointing to something in the corner of the street that seemed to be less eye-catching. Standing on the face of the soldier in front of his horse, he looked back. After a while, he came back with some doubts. He said: "General General Kai, it seems to be some tung oil and stone grease. It is about when the Dongchu people fled. "Pioneer brows wrinkled, always feel what
The place is wrong. Looking around carefully, I found that there are not a few such traces, and there seems to be a strong smell of wine in the air. I placed a few wine cellars along the street just in the place where they stayed in the city, so I didn't pay attention, but now I have observed it carefully, even if it is outside the wine cellar, the wine is too rich. I haven’t come to think about it, the street
The window upstairs was suddenly pushed away from the inside. A black man coldly looked at the person underneath, quickly opened the bow and put the arrow on the arrow, then disappeared into the window. These movements were only completed in an instant, and the man disappeared into the window when the people reacted and arched toward the window.

It’s on fire!
Suddenly someone screamed, and a cluster of sparks suddenly appeared on both sides of the street and spread in extreme times.
i^
"There is an ambush! Quick withdrawal!"
At the same time, Xinyang City once again noisy, "the city gate is also on fire!" There was a loud bang in the gate of the city, and then the fire was shining, even if they were in the city, they could clearly see the day. The red light can be imagined how strong the fire is.
"Fast! Fire!" The Xiling army suddenly became a mess. It is easy to extinguish fires. Xiling City was originally drought-deficient, and only a few wells were either sealed or buried. The only liquids that can be found in the second city at this time are the same. As if it was intentional, these are placed outside the wine cellar, and some are even placed on the street, as long as they are accidentally
When people break the jar, they will cause even greater fire. Xinyang City, which was supposed to be a singer, is now screaming in the wild.
On the mountain peaks outside Xinyang City, Ye Liu looked at Xinyang City, which had been intertwined into a sea of ​​fire, and sighed softly: "Xinyang is ruined." Qin Feng stood behind Ye Li and put a thin cloak on her. One side said: "Wang Hao does not have to worry, in fact, Xinyang City is mostly earth and stone buildings. Even if most of the houses are burnt down, it will not be too much trouble to rebuild in the future. Moreover, we can at least eliminate the 10,000 cemetery without any effort. People and horses. Instead of leaving Xinyang to live for the Xiling people, it’s better to burn it.
Ye Liu smiled lightly, and the cloak around him turned and said:
Let’s go, the anger of the South King of the battle is not small. Let's get to Hongzhou as soon as possible."
"Yes, Wang Hao."
Xinyang City is indeed a soil-rock structure as Qin Feng said, not a very good fuel. But even so, everyone has lost a whole day and night. Because the gates of the city were blocked by the fire, people from the city who could not get out of the city could not enter. When the fire finally weakened the next day, when the army outside the city could enter the city, the people in the city were almost completely wiped out. Even those who have not been burned by fire have long died of suffocation of smoke. The original heroic Xinyang City is already black and lacquered at this time.
When Zhennan Wang stepped into Xinyang City, his face was not simply gloomy and could be described. It was simply gloomy. Looking at the ruins of the ruins in front of the eyes, as well as the smoke that has not been completely extinguished on both sides of the street and the smell of evil in the air, the town of Wangnan is stunned and sullen, gnashing his teeth: "Ye Li..." The general who came in along with Zhennan Wang They are all treacherous, and they are afraid of making mistakes or doing something wrong. For a long time, I only listened to Zhennan Wang and suddenly smiled and said: "Good! I didn't expect this king to meet an opponent after ten years! Mo Liufang, your good wife! Yeli... don't catch your swearing oath Don't be a man! Pass the king's order, live to capture the king's sorcerer, and reward the golden tens of thousands of thousands of households!" Wen Yan, everyone explained a shock, such a reward, almost comparable to the rewards of the ancient kings. Zhennan Wang turned around and glanced around, sneer a sneer: "Leave people stationed in Xinyang, the rest of the whole army set off and head to Hongzhou!"
"Yes."
Hongzhou City
Hongzhou is not the largest city in the northwest, nor is it the strongest city in the northwest. However, due to geographical location, the Xiling army has not been able to really get close to Hongzhou City by the Mohist Army. Although the northwest is already in full swing, the people and merchants in Hongzhou City are still very happy. Because they are leaning against the necessary road to enter the Central Plains in the northwest, even if Hongzhou City was attacked by the Xiling army, they also came and fled to the Central Plains. What's more, the area that is currently fighting in Dachu is not only the northwest, so the number of people who fled is much less.
"Wei Chen northwest governor Sun Xingzhi rate Hongzhou City size officials merchants welcome the king." At the gate of the city, Hongzhou Taishou led the large and small officials to meet Ye Li and his party.
Feng Zhiyao glanced at the middle-aged man with a smile in front of him. This person is a vein of the patriarchal school. From the beginning of the war, he fled from Xinyang to Hongzhou. He always ignored the Mojiajun near Hongzhou and even tried to find out. Delay the food that should have been supplied. At this time, there is still the courage to stand at the gate of the city to welcome Wang Hao, and the courage is not small. Ye Li has a clean and green clothes, and there is no gracefulness of the famous lady of Chu Jingli. The extremely ordinary and simple style makes people unable to give birth to a half-hearted disrespect and scorn. Holding Zhuo Jing’s hand on the horseback, Ye Liu’s look looked at the two rows of people with respect and respect, and nodded slightly:
Sun Daren is excused.

Before Sun Xing, he smiled diligently: "Wang Hao has worked hard all the time, please also enter the city to have a cup of tea, and wait for the feast under the night to wash the dust for Wang."
Ye Zixiu is light and so eager to announce the relationship between the guests and the host?
"I am afraid I have to marry the good intentions of Sun Daren. The Xiling army is raging in Hongzhou. Can an unknown adult have a solution?"
Sun Xingzhi accompanied the laughter: "There is a Mojia army, there is a place where the Xiling people are arrogant. The ministers are the same as the Hongzhou people. They are very relieved and relieved!" On the one hand, Feng Zhiyao’s sword raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Sun Daren Do you think that the people of Hongzhou alone refer to the people of Hongzhou City? I would have remembered that Sun Daren was a northwest governor rather than a Hongzhou prefect. In addition, Sun Daren’s meaning was as if the Xiling people were plundering the northwest, and it was the fault of the Mohist army. "Sun Xingzhi's face was a stiff, and soon he lost his smile: "The next official does not dare." Dare, not not, Feng Zhiyao scorned him.
The atmosphere seemed a bit embarrassed. A dark-skinned, shrinking middle-aged man standing behind Sun Xun stood up and said: "The lower official... Hongzhou Taishou Qi Anrong has seen Wang Hao."
Ye Liu nodded: "Qi Daren, Benedict heard that the grain supply of the Mohist army in Hongzhou had not arrived yet. What happened?" Qi Anrong quickly looked at one of Sun Xun’s eyes, and said: "This... Wang Wei Forgiveness of crimes. The people in the northwest were robbed by the people of Xiling, and the damage to Hongzhou was particularly serious. So... this grain was delayed for a few days. I also asked Wang Hao to sin..." Ye Liu’s lips faintly smiled: "It turns out that it is It’s hard to be a big man.
After listening to Ye Li, Qi Anrong couldn’t help but wipe the sweat on the forehead in October, because the eyes of the wine were too faint and trembling, and laughed with a smile:
Don’t dare ...not dare..."
Zhuo Jing looked at the crowd with a cold look and said: "I still don't want to make the road to Wang Yu to rest outside the city?"
Qi Anrong quickly retired and let out a road. "Wang Hao please, Wang Hao please..."
Ye Liu was about to walk to the city, but there was a voice of Sun Xingzhi who was hanging aside. "Wang Hao is slow!"
Ye Zi turned back and looked at Sun Xingzhi calmly. The beautiful brow is slightly light, and the smile is waiting for his following. Sun Xingzhi looked around and secretly swallowed his mouth and said that "Wang Hao came to Hongzhou City. Hongzhou officials and people are naturally welcome. But this Mohist army can't go into the city with Wang Hao!" Bian smiled and smiled and asked: "Why?" Sun Xingzhi said: "When so many people enter the city, they will inevitably cause confusion in the city. Please ask Wang to think twice. Moreover, according to my big law, no more than 50,000 soldiers per city. What Wang Hao brought... as long as there are more than 100,000 people?
It seems that he has taken charge of it, and Sun Xingzhi’s voice has become more and more high.
Ye Li did not get angry, but stared calmly at the self-satisfied middle-aged man in front of him.
Seeing Ye Li does not speak, Sun Xingzhi is more and more happy. Even the original cautiousness also went to seven or eight points, and smiled: "Wang Hao, the lower official said that it can be rational?" Ye Liu's lips showed a beautiful joke, and the proud Sun Xingzhi did not find a frown. Several people who followed Ye Ye silently stepped back two steps to avoid being caught by the fish.
"Sun Daren, do you know that Ben has just set fire to Xinyang?" Ye Liu’s voice was quiet and cold.
Sun Xingzhi could not help but have a chill. The original smile was still stiff on his face. Some women looked at the woman who suddenly changed color in front of her eyes. "Wang... Wang Hao..."
"If you dare to burn Xinyang, you are not afraid to kill two more useless officials!"
