Chapter 200: The Fire Rises

The Huazhou Thorn History Yamen has been expanded into the Yongxing Military Town Marshal's Mansion, that is, the Yongxing Military Festival Envoy and the Huazhou Thorn Shi Panmei's Executive Office.

At the beginning of the lanterns, in the hall of the yamen, Pan Mei was still discussing with others.

Shen Yilun, the secretary in charge, and Song Qi, the official of the push, are all celebrities today, and they are all worried at the moment, since it is because after a few years of recuperation in the Qi State, Qi Tianzi once again personally conquered the northwest, and he was obviously ready to calm the Qin land in one go.

And the State of Qi said that it was recuperation, but the pace of expansion has not stopped, Nanping Ma Chu has all returned to Qi, and even heard that the southwest ghost barbarian land has been pacified, and there is no big fight at all, it seems that only a thousand soldiers entered Juzhou, I don't know how to join the vertical and horizontal, not only the Hedong Tuban Hebei Bozhou, and even the Juzhou ghosts and barbarians are all surrendered.

In addition, Qi has developed commerce and trade, there are many innovations in agricultural reclamation, and it has monopolized the salt industry in Jiangbei, and its national strength is thriving.

With Qin's military and material resources, it is impossible to compete with Qi at all.

However, Qi also has weaknesses.

Emperor Qi Lu Ning, that is, Pan Mei, Shen Yilun, Song Qi and others present, also had to admit in their hearts that this Qi Tianzi really has the atmosphere of the lord of today, and he has not tasted defeat in several personal expeditions, which makes the Qi army extremely arrogant, as if Qi Tianzi's cover is located, and any enemy army must be invincible.

Qi Tianzi is the military soul of the military horses of the Qi State, the spiritual pillar of the former army of the Qi State Palace and the forbidden army of the major battalions, and it is also the belief that they think they are invincible.

However, the weakness of Qi is also in this Qi Tianzi.

He is too proud, proud of his life, and the overlord of Chu in the past is nothing compared to his arrogance.

Now Shen Yilun and Song Qi are analyzing, whether this Qi Tianzi really wants to use the Hezhong Army and the Dianqian Army to conquer Qindi.

As for the thousands of Shenwei troops that attacked the northwest from Dengzhou, they were completely negligible.

This is highly likely.

It seems that Qi Tianzi is even so proud that he is ready to use only the resources of the Shaanxi Central Dao to conquer Qin, so that the other Qi territories will hardly be affected by this war.

Of course, this is also because Qi Tianzi wants to guard against the Khitan and Han in the north, and at the same time suppress the resistance of Jiangnan and Wu Chu.

However, this is also a bit too arrogant.

If Qi Tianzi really used the Hezhong Army and the Dianqian Army to attack Qindi, then the King of Qin would definitely have the strength to fight.

Moreover, the odds should not be small.

But the problem is that Zhao Guangyi, the Duke of Yanguo, is cutting down Shu, and the generals under his command are leading the army, and they have eaten the sweetness when they loot Xingyuan Mansion, and they are not willing to return to the army at all, especially when they come back to face the powerful Qi army, it is even more undesirable for them, but they are all gearing up to capture Chengdu Mansion. The country of Shudi Tianfu is rich and prosperous, but the army is weak, just like a paper tiger, after being stabbed, the generals and soldiers of the Qin army who conquered Shu are as red as beasts.

Nowadays, Yan Guocheng and the Shu army are fighting fiercely in the area of Jianzhou, which is commonly known as the Sword Pavilion Land.

"Yan Guogong really can't return to the army as soon as possible?" Song Qi asked helplessly.

Pan Mei sighed in her heart, her face remained silent, "The expedition to Shu is urgent, and I am anxious to return to the army for fear of being counterattacked by the Shu army and incurring unnecessary defeat." ”

This is just a high-sounding excuse, it is true that the two armies are fighting, and it is easy to be pursued by the other side and suffer heavy losses when they are eager to return to the army, but the main reason why the Qin army is not good to return to the army is because the generals in the army are uneven, and it is not easy to control.

In recent years, a large number of soldiers have been recruited, because the king of Qin participated in the battle of the neighboring Tubo tribes, and moved the soldiers to the army to reclaim Qingtang City, but also to prepare for the failure of the battle with the Qi army to lose Qin land and go to the Western Regions to operate, but also because of this, Qin land can only be rampantly expropriated, so that there are manpower and financial resources to move to develop Qingtang City, and it is precisely because of this that the atmosphere of military discipline corruption has permeated the whole army.

Think about how high-spirited King Qin was back then, and how strict was military discipline?

But at this time and at that time, the current Qin army, with many troops, is simply like a rogue.

If this were not the case, King Qin's move to the west would be difficult to maintain at all, and the strong men recruited would have been exiled long ago.

"Then His Royal Highness King Qin, what are your plans?" Song Qi asked again.

Pan Mei smiled bitterly in her heart, the King of Qin was ready to move west to manage the Western Regions, and because of this, no matter whether it was Qin or Shu, he connived at the looting of the soldiers, plundered and collected wealth, and it would also be transported to Qingtang City.

Qingtang City, thousands of miles away from Qindi, the southwest of Qingtang City was the sphere of influence of the Tubo State in those years, and now it is the division of the Tubo tribes.

Even in the Tang Dynasty, there was no choice but to spit out the country, so he could only get along with his relatives and gentleness.

The king of Qin is preparing to recreate a Tubo country, although the land of Tubo is cold and bitter, but this is also the most helpless strategy.

Of course, it is Pan Mei, and I don't know if King Qin can succeed, although the lord is a god and martial artist, but the lone army is deep, it is how to unite vertically and horizontally, and it is really difficult to make all the Tibetan tribes surrender and unite to resist Qi.

However, with Qi Tianzi's reluctance to mobilize the troops to go on an expedition, King Qin led his troops to settle in the bitter cold land of Tubo, which should be able to do it.

Speaking of which, the King of Qin is really determined and persevering, in history, there has not been any prince of Middle Earth who is willing to flee to the bitter cold land to find another way out, whether there is any in the future, it is unknown, at least the King of Qin, is the first person in history.

Song Qi saw that Pan Mei didn't answer, and shook his head, yes, it is rumored that King Qin has been preparing to flee west for a long time, and it seems to be true.

Shen Yilun sighed, "It's chilling! ”

It seems that King Qin's strategy is to make Huazhou block the Qi army, how long can it be blocked, and the Huazhou army is cannon fodder.

The soldiers of Shu are also abandoned pawns.

I am afraid that the meaning of Huazhou today is to create time for the King of Qin to wait for the wealth plundered by Shu.

And the 20,000 pro-army of King Qin in Chang'an City, Jingzhao Mansion, is the real foundation of King Qin, and he will follow him to move west to Qingtang City.

That is to say, in the face of Qi Tianzi, King Qin did not have the courage to fight, and had been planning to flee west.

"Du Hu, but now the puppet lord of Qi is so arrogant, only bringing thousands of pro-troops to show off his might in Huazhou, it is the army in the river, and he has just prepared for war, doesn't the king of Qin want to take advantage of this opportunity to kill the lord of Qi? In this way, the general trend of the world will inevitably reverse, so why go to the bitter cold land of the Western Regions? Song Qi asked with a sigh.

Pan Mei nodded, "I have already sent a secret letter to His Highness, Your Highness will definitely ......" As she spoke, she was slightly stunned, looking at the west side, outside the window on the west side, there was a high courtyard wall, which was a little bright just now, but now it is getting brighter and brighter.

"Not good!" Pan Meiho stood up.

Outsiders shouted: "The grain is burning!" It's on fire! ”

Outside the west wall, it was originally the location of the Yachang Ping and Yicang of the Assassin's Mansion, and the Assassin's Mansion was expanded into the Shuai's Mansion, and several military warehouses were added to the granary.

"Boring and boring" gong shook the sky.

When Pan Mei, Shen Yilun, and Song Qi hurriedly came to the warehouse compound, several granaries were burning with fire.

In the courtyard of the warehouse, there are corpses.

Speaking of which, the granary is not so easy to ignite, that is, it is guided by the oil of fire, and it must be burned slowly, and the fire can be seen, which means that it has burned relatively large, and it has been burning for a long time.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Pan Mei was going crazy.

Obviously, the person who burned the warehouse knew everything about the time of the change of shifts of the warehouse soldiers, and he started as soon as he changed shifts, silently killed dozens of warehouse soldiers, and then lit a fire, waiting for the granary to slowly ignite.

If it's not that the other party has sneaked in and observed for a few days, there is an internal ghost!

Obviously, there must be an inner ghost!

It must also be related to the officials who manage the warehouse, so that they can kill people silently and enter and exit the heavily guarded marshal's mansion.

Most of the thieves are still in the government, that is, they are some officials who have not left the government.

But nowadays, natural firefighting is important.

It is not difficult to save the granary fire, because the grain is incombustible, that is, it has been burned, and it is not impossible to eat it reluctantly when it is distributed to the soldiers and the people, but when fighting the fire, it is inevitable that most of the grain will be watered, which is easy to mold and deteriorate, but it is still the same sentence, the soldiers and the people are not inedible.

Pan Mei was thinking about it, but saw several soldiers running over with panicked faces, "All protect the father, the well is blocked by stones!" ”

Pan Mei was furious and wanted to cut off their heads, "Just move away!" ”

The soldier stammered and couldn't figure it out.

Pan Mei knew that something was strange, so she hurriedly went to the well in the courtyard next door to look, only to see that the boulder was horizontal in the well, not up or down, and the well mouth was blocked, and the wooden barrel could not go down.

And let them take the thickest twine, and hang the man down, and the twine, and tie the stone and pull it up.

After tossing for a long time, the stone was finally pulled up, but the fire in the granary had become bigger and bigger.

This is really burning, under the high temperature, people are not easy to approach, buckets of water are splashed over, it is really a drop in the bucket, extremely high temperature, not to mention the grain, that is, the bricks and stones of the granary seem to be burned red and melting.
