At this time, it was already close to the end of the day, and the sky was getting dark, although the Yellow Turban Thieves were approaching, but they did not come to attack the city overnight, but set up camp and did not move forward. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fei Qian really didn't expect the Yellow Turban Thief to be so bold, and he brazenly pointed at Hangu Pass......

Although I received the news of the Yellow Turban Thief, after all, it was not yet the time to attack, and the people slowly calmed down, although there was still a danger of being attacked tomorrow, but at least not now.

Fei Qian did not climb the city wall, but walked along the east-west street in Hangu Pass. Originally, Hangu Pass was mainly for defense to attack from east to west, so the east city wall itself was built more majestic, but the west city wall was not bad, and it was not something that the Yellow Turban thieves who lacked siege equipment could overcome.

Moreover, the current Yellow Turban Thieves have lost their original sharpness under the leadership of the three Zhang Jiao brothers, the kind of fanatical believers who are hypnotized by religious beliefs, and are not afraid of life and death, will indeed be a considerable blow to the morale of the defenders.

But now that the three Zhang Jiao brothers have been beheaded, the myth of the so-called invulnerability of the Yellow Turban Lux has long been shattered, and everyone knows that the golden thief is also an ordinary person, who will bleed, pain and die......

So now, if the Yellow Turban thieves under the city don't have siege equipment, and they still want to use manpower to attack the city, in front of dealing with a Xiongguan like Hangu Pass, even if the west wall is a little lower, they will inevitably hit their heads and bleed.

However, the only unsafe factor now is that now that Hangu is closed, Zheng Yu does not have a lot of troops left, if there are about 3,000 soldiers, like now, when the soldiers are sufficient, there is no problem at all to hold on for ten days and half a month.

And now there are only these few people, and it is indeed a little insufficient to defend the two walls......

Fei Qian looked up at the soldiers on the eastern city wall, shook his head, and walked back. It was already late, even if you want to leave Hangu Pass, you will have to walk the mountain road overnight tomorrow, which is undoubtedly a kind of death in an area like the Han Dynasty, where the population density is not very large.

Fei Qian had just returned to the post house, but he met the post master who was directing the post guards to pour out the water from the water tanks in each courtyard......

"What's going on?" Fei Qian asked.

The post chief hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Qi Yu Fei Shilang, this water has been stored for a long time, breeding insects and ants, so it is poured out, and it will be re-stored after scrubbing. ”

"Oh!" Fei Qian nodded, not saying anything against it.

Seeing this, the post chief asked a few people to first clean the water tank in the courtyard where Fei Qian, Huang Cheng and others lived, and immediately a few post guards put down the half-poured water tank next to them and went straight to Fei Qian's yard.

Fei Qian's heart suddenly moved, and he stopped the few post guards who were about to push the cylinder, "It's late today, and it's not too late to pour it tomorrow, besides, it's pouring water all over the ground, how can you live there?" ”

"Huh? This ......" The post chief on the side laughed and said, "This land is all dry, and the water will be gone after a while, so it won't get in the way, and the water smells bad, and it's not good for the health of the nobles......"

Fei Qian walked to the water tank, reached out and fished out some water to smell it, it was a little smelly, but it was far from the point where the water was already smelly, so he shook his hand and said, "Pour it again tomorrow." ”

The post chief originally wanted to do something, but when he saw Huang Cheng standing next to Fei Qian, he stared at him unkindly, so he nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I will fall again tomorrow, and I will fall again tomorrow......"

After speaking, he laughed with him, and took a few postmen out of the courtyard where Fei Qian and others lived.

The post house in Hanguguan is still quite large, in addition to the front two houses, there are also four small courtyards for living in the inside, and there is a large backyard behind it, which is specially used to park carriages and other vehicles, stables and kitchens and other functional houses are also in the backyard.

Fei Qian, with the identity of the left office, specially asked for a courtyard to live in, anyway, the temperature is not too high, and people will not feel how stuffy it is when they squeeze it.

When the post chiefs and guards walked out of the courtyard, Huang Cheng said, "Fei Langjun, these people feel ...... Seems a little strange......"

Cleaning the tank is fine, but the time is not right.

Because the people of the Han Dynasty generally had two meals, most of the time to work was in the middle of these two meals, that is, before and after the morning and evening meals, and it was rare for them to suddenly come to work when it was getting late.

Although the working people at this time did not have the saying that they should be paid overtime for overtime at night, it is true that unless there is an emergency, people rarely come to work at night......

The other is that now that the Yellow Turban thieves are approaching the city, the post chief of a post house suddenly comes to care about whether the water in the water tank in the post house smells bad?

What kind of thinking do people have?

Fei Qian nodded, Fang Cai also realized this, so he stopped the post chief from letting the water in the courtyard be poured out, although he couldn't figure out what it was for the time being.

In order to prevent accidents, Fei Qian asked Huang Xu to quietly take some people to the backyard to guard the carriages and horses, and they were also divided into two shifts and took turns to rest, while Huang Cheng took the remaining soldiers in the courtyard.

The night was already deep, but Fei Qian didn't feel sleepy.

There are so many things happening today that they are rushing in one after another, and there is a sense of being caught off guard.

Especially the fact that the Yellow Turban thieves are coming to the city is indeed too strange.

It's as if you can easily get a large piece of fat next to it, but you choose to suck not much bone marrow from the hard bone.

Unless it is the army of Mianchi that has already pounced on Xin'an, causing these Yellow Turban troops to have no way to go but to go here, it is really impossible to explain.

However, there are still some unexplained problems with this......

The night was like a thick veil of black, shrouded in all around.

Suddenly, some small and fragmented sounds sounded outside the courtyard, scattered and scattered, which at first did not attract much attention, but then there were more and more.

One of Fei Qian's guards opened the courtyard door and wanted to go out to check it, but he had only opened half of the door when he was shot down by an arrow flying in from outside the door, and the screams before death alarmed everyone in the small courtyard......

Several torches were thrown out and landed at the gate of the courtyard, and with a bang, the fire rose into the air!

I don't know when there was a lot of hay piled up at the gate of the yard, and it seemed that fire oil was poured into it, and the flames spread very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it seemed to surround the entire yard, and the flames were blazing, and the air seemed to be scorched......

By the time Fei Qian rushed out of the room, the fire had already spread to the surrounding areas of the courtyard, surrounding the entire small courtyard, and quickly engulfing everything around, making all life turn into nothingness in the raging flames, and the rolling heat wave was coming!

Through the jumping flames, Fei Qian saw that the faces of the soldiers outside the door seemed to be distorted, and the leader was actually like Hangu Guan Ling Zheng Xuan!

Zheng Yi arched his hand in the firelight, and said loudly: "Fei Shilang, it's good to go!" ”
