Yang Xingben was still shocked and cold, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and burn the grain in the same official warehouse, this matter was too important, he never imagined that this weak and upright man who usually acted like a little broad and upright would have such a ruthless and decisive side.

"This matter, I'm afraid that this matter will also have to be approved by the Son of Heaven and the Imperial Doctor......"

He pondered, hoping to find a suitable reason to convince himself and Du Fu, but after searching his stomach for a long time, he only said this sentence intermittently. Du Fu burst into laughter when he heard this.

"There are hundreds of miles from Chang'an to Baishui, during which I crossed the mountains and rivers, secretly crossed the rebel blockade, and I don't know how much time it will take to go back and forth, and when I get a reply, I am afraid that you and I will have already become ghosts under the knife!"

Du Fu's voice became louder and louder, and his face turned red under the excitement.

"It's not that I, Du Fu, are greedy for life and afraid of death, but there are still the people of Feng Yiqi County and these millions of stone of grain, and we must not give up easily!

At this moment, Yang Xingben was in turmoil, he always thought that he could deal with any situation calmly, but in the face of the current situation, he was entangled and wanted to die.

Du Fu's words are absolutely true, Sun Xiaozhe's rebels are about to cross the river, and their own army is extremely unstable, and there is even a situation of desertion, with such a panicked army, how can it resist the rebels who are several times larger than their own?

But if he wants to make up his mind to burn the grain that Qin Jin had told him so much, it is still difficult to make a decision.

"Du Envoy Jun, otherwise, wait another day, maybe after sunset, the Imperial Doctor will have a letter delivered!"

Du Fu was stomped in a hurry.

"Gentle and unbreakable! Doctor Yu Shi asked you to protect the same official warehouse, can you hold it with the strength of you and me?"

This rhetorical question directly tore apart Yang Xingben's last illusion, yes, even if Qin Jin ordered him to keep the Tongguan Cang, he couldn't hold it, but at least it gave him a reasonable excuse to think deeply about martyrdom.

Du Fu saw that Yang Xingben was still hesitating, so he said with some hatred:

"In the world, it is not difficult to die, but the difficult thing is how to survive in life that is better than death. Today, the time has come to test you and me! Burn down the Tongguan warehouse, and I Du Fu will bear all the responsibility! General Yang only needs to cooperate, and even if he survives by luck in the future, it will be I, Du Fu, who will go to confess to the Son of Heaven alone!"

When it came to this, Yang Xingben only felt that his face was hot. To be honest, at the beginning, he was a little contemptuous of Du Fu, and he was still a little unconvinced in his heart, thinking that this person was more than broad and inflexible, and Qin Jin really looked away when he used this person as the county guard. But now he has to admit that Qin Jin's choice of Du Fu as the county guard is indeed more suitable than himself, regardless of whether the decision to burn the Tongguan warehouse is correct or not, this decision alone is enough.

Now, Du Fu thought that he was afraid of taking responsibility, Yang Xingben was so ashamed that he wanted to refute it, but suddenly found that he didn't have a word to say.

Finally, in this extremely complicated state of mind, Yang Xingben seemed to be pushed by Du Fu to make up his mind.

"That's it!, burn it, burn it, when the time comes, if you can still get away with it, Yang is willing to take responsibility with Du Yuanjun!"

Du Fu smiled miserably.

"How many people can grow this million stone grain with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky?"

A question, big tears burst out of his eyes.

Since he made up his mind to burn down the Tongguan Cang, Yang Xingben's execution power has been fully reflected, and he personally led people to the Tongguan Cang thirty miles away to the west that day, which was originally just a transit place for business travelers in the county, after Du Fu transferred the grain to Baishui, he felt that the county was too small to put it down, so he transferred it all to the Tongguan, and the warehouse built by the merchants could be used as a ready-made granary.

Du Fu and Yang Xingben acted separately, burning Tongguancang was only the first step, and the second part was to move all the people from several counties near Baishui to Yanzhou in the north.

At this moment, if it is in other counties, it will be difficult to make a trip without a month and a half, but this is Feng Yi County, as early as two months ago, at the beginning of the fall of Tongguan, Du Fu adhered to the meaning of Qin and Jin, and implemented private and wartime control in the whole county. Now, as long as the front and back coordination is done, the private enterprises in various localities can be transferred as a whole.

Judging from the current situation, with Beiluoshui, at most it can stop the rebels for three days, and these three days are all Du Fu's hopes.

A team of cavalry out of Baishui County, and there are several counties such as Shengping and Yijun in the north, all of which require him to personally coordinate the retreat, and run all the way out for fifty miles, exhausted from the exhaustion of the war horses, whirring and snorting, seeing that the mount is overwhelmed, he can only beckon the entourage guards to stop and accumulate horsepower.

However, after stopping, the sun was completely invisible after a while, and the ground gradually became dark.

"Fire, fire!"

I don't know which one shouted first, everyone heard the voice, but saw a red reflection in the south sky, not a fire but what was it?

Du Fu also followed the crowd to look at him, and immediately showed a painful look on his face, millions of stones of grain were burned in this way, and he was evil! But when this time was critical, did he have a choice? No! If these grains fell into the hands of the Anshi rebels, the demise of the Tang Dynasty would probably be just around the corner.

After resting for about half an hour, the fire became bigger and bigger, reflecting most of the sky red, and even the night that should have been dark became brighter and brighter.

"Get on the horse!

Du Fu coldly ordered, and dozens of horsemen rushed north.

The fire burned through half of the sky, and not only Du Fu who was heading north could see it, but also the rebels across the river from Baishui could see it clearly.

"Handsome, handsome, fire, fire......"

Zhang Tongru hurriedly roared and broke into Sun Xiaozhe's Chinese military tent, panting again, stammering and talking about fire. Seeing him lose his temper like this, Sun Xiaozhe was shocked, and immediately straightened up and asked:

"Where is the fire in the camp?"

In such a place, if there is a fire in the camp, if it cannot be controlled, there is a high chance that the camp will roar or mutiny, and then the plan to cross the river and seize the city may be aborted.

Zhang Tongru shook his head, panting, and said intermittently:

"No, not the battalion, the battalion. It's across the river!"

"Across the river?"

Hearing this answer, Sun Xiaozhe looked at Zhang Tongru suspiciously, if there was a fire in the ** camp on the other side, wouldn't it be a great thing? But why did Zhang Tongru lose his temper in such a hurry?

"To put it bluntly!"

Zhang Tongru's chest was still rising and falling violently, and it seemed that even his head and mouth were not very good.

"That, that, this, that......"

After a long time, I finally squeezed out a sentence.

"The handsome man will know at a glance when he comes out of the account!"

Sun Xiaozhe came out of the Chinese military tent, and felt that the atmosphere tonight was not right, it was dark in the past, only the tall wind lamps in the camp emitted a light like beans, but at this moment, he saw that the night sky was red, and instinctively went to find the source of this red light, when he locked his eyes on the distant mountains in the west, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Let's go, go to the river!"

The military camp chose a slope with its back to Beiluoshui, and it was not clear what was going on in the camp, and hundreds of war horses poured out from the gate.

On the bank of the Luoshui River in Beiluoshui, Sun Xiaozhe's eyes were shining with flames, but his right hand holding the reins of the horse was trembling uncontrollably.

"Zhang Tongru!"

"The last general!"

"Send someone across the river to find out where the fire is!"

Although he had an ominous premonition in his heart, Sun Xiaozhe still couldn't believe it, this was the truth!

It wasn't until the second half of the night that the Tanma sent to the other side returned to the army and brought back the news that Sun Xiaozhe least wanted to hear.

"The fire is about one or twenty miles west of Baishui City, and what exactly is burned, whether it is a mountain fire, we have to investigate again. The Tang Army Ranger has been active frequently tonight, and the villain and the others dare not continue to go deeper, so they have to come back first to report the news!"

Sun Xiaozhe's face was depressed, his hands grabbed the edge of the bookcase in front of him, and squeezed out a few words from his mouth.

"Got it, go back and rest!"

Until the tanma left the military tent, Sun Xiaozhe actually screamed "ahh Just when Zhang Tongru heard that Tanma had returned to the camp, he hurried to see Sun Xiaozhe, and when he was outside the tent door, he heard a miserable scream inside, and immediately burst into a cold sweat, and he didn't care about etiquette, so he pushed the door directly in.

"Dashuai!"

ran over in two or three steps, helped Sun Xiaozhe up, and shouted:

"Wounded doctor, wounded doctor, come to ......"

Sun Xiaozhe opened his eyes abruptly and stopped his shouting.

"Don't call someone over, I'm fine. ”

Zhang Tongru glanced at Sun Xiaozhe a few more times, and saw that he was haggard and pale, and stammered and asked:

"This, how can this be okay?"

"If there is something, don't make a noise!"

After saying two words, Sun Xiaozhe's spirit seemed to improve a lot, and he sat up again.

"There are extremely powerful characters in the Tang army, and they actually burned the grain!"

"Burned grain?"

Zhang Tongru subconsciously repeated it, and suddenly came to his senses again.

"Is it, is it ......?"

Halfway through the words, I wanted to spit it out, but it was extremely difficult, and the description on my face was distorted, and I was obviously terrified to the extreme.

Sun Xiaozhe nodded weakly.

"Just as you think, Tang Jun saw that he couldn't hold Baishui, so he actually had the idea of dying together, and burned the grain with fire, intending to destroy our thoughts. ”

Zhang Tongru asked in disbelief:

"Could it be that it is Tang Jun's trick to deceive us?"

Sun Xiaozhe said:

"Of course I have considered this possibility, and it is useless to speculate at this time, and I can only wait for the Tanma to probe carefully before I can come up with a concrete result. ”

After waking up, after Zhang Tongru reminded him, he also thought that it might be a trick deliberately used by Tang Jun, millions of stone grains, who would be willing to say that it would be burned?
