In fact, Shen Gui, who had just enjoyed the beef hot pot feast, was really not in a hurry at all. Because he himself already knows very well that he has come to this point in the Liangbei War, and as an 'outsider', there is only so much he can do. As for the result of the final game of this game of 'chess', whether it can be as optimistic as I originally imagined depends on the performance of the two sides of the real game. And he, a 'secretly supporting' chess watcher, has nothing to do with anymore.

And Yan Chongwu, the commander of the Flying Bear Army with a 'black spot in his hand', has already fought on the battlefield before he is crowned. After many years of being the commander of the First Army, his execution ability is naturally first-class and strong. When he saw the wolf smoke wafting out of the distant mountain peak, he didn't even delay for a quarter of an hour, and directly threw off all the infantry troops, and personally led five thousand energetic cavalry to go straight to the direction of the East Customs;

Fu Yi, the son of the former governor of Zhongshan who stayed at the mouth of the valley of Yanjia and temporarily led the army, immediately ordered the whole army to start withdrawing; After that, he personally went to the cliffs on both sides and invited Fang Junping, the commander of the guard battalion who had not recovered from his serious injuries.

Facing Fang Junping, who was hysterical and asked to continue to attack Yanjiagou, Fu Yi only said a few words in his ear, and this Fang Yingzheng actually went against Fang Cai's irritability and radicalism, and went to restrain his brothers with a smile.

Fu Yi's series of preparations for the withdrawal of troops did not escape the eyes of the Pingbei Army. After all, it was also a team of more than 40,000 people, and the withdrawal of troops was carried out collectively, and Fu Yi didn't expect to hide it from anyone at all. And under his instruction, all the Flying Bear Army made the range of action of pulling out the camp particularly exaggerated. In this way, it naturally stirred up the dust. In this way, even if it was daytime at this time, when the light was sufficient, shrouded in dust and smoke, the spies of the Pingbei Army could not find the fact that Yan Chongwu had led 5,000 cavalry to the East Customs.

If the infantry marches quickly, it will take about a day and night to reach the East Customs; But for the elite cavalry of the Flying Bear Army, who completely gave up all baggage and didn't care about the loss of war horses, it was far faster than the infantry army.

At this time, Guo Xing, who had no idea, was still struggling with the trend of retreating from the army created by Fu Yi, what was his intention.

Since he met with Yan Chongwu, Guo Xing has really been immersed in self-doubt all the time: it is clear that the battle situation is still in a stalemate, and the net he has laid should not be seen through; Moreover, due to the sufficient strength of the opponent, under the replacement of each other, even the loss of troops is much smaller than that of their own, and they have not suffered any unbearable blows at all; If the other party is a trap that is faked to lure the enemy, but there is no bait at all, who will step on it? But if the other party really quits the army because of the change, why does it make the camp dusty?

The pioneer general Feng Lian is also a straight person, and he has always believed in a simple and rude way of doing things. Isn't it true that you can't figure out the reality of the other party? Then simply lead a small force and rush at him for a while, and everything will be understood! But Guo Xing is a young man with both civil and military skills, and he knows that his own troops are stretched thin, and he can't withstand more consumption at all. What's more, if you act rashly, once you fall into the ambush of the other party, it is very likely to break General Feng......

Therefore, in line with the principle that if you don't make a move, Guo Xing, who still consciously occupies the initiative, no matter how panicked the other party's retreat is, he has also made up his mind that he will never take a step out of the valley.

In this way, it is in the hands of the Flying Bear Army, or Shen Gui.

It's all because of the reinforcements that Guo Xing is looking forward to in his heart, and now he is in a sea of fire, and he can't take care of himself at all, so how can he have the energy to care about Yanjiagou!

At this time, the fire in the East Customs became more and more vigorous, and Liang Jing, who was originally as stable as Mount Tai, could no longer hold back his patience, and walked quickly to the East City Gate to personally inspect the progress of the work of dredging the road at the City Gate.

Fang Cai had only listened to the herald's report, and he didn't think it was tricky. At this time, as soon as he saw the 'hot scene' at the East City Gate, he completely smashed Liang Jing's already done psychological construction.

Liang Jing looked at the stones that blocked the way of life of the soldiers and civilians in the city, and his heart was full of regret. He only glanced at it and could tell the way it came: these stones blocking the city gate were all goods brought by the thirteen 'Nankang merchants' at the beginning, and they were finally intercepted by one of the lieutenants of the 100,000 reinforcements this time. This lieutenant general is also the son of a member of the imperial court, and secretly runs a jewelry and silver building business in Yanjing City. And these stones are what they call the specialty of Guanbei Road - Xiuyu Rough Stone.

Although Xiuyu is also one of the four famous jades of Huayu, it is not the same as the other three kinds of jade in terms of appearance and economic value.

Because most of the rich people on Youbei Third Road would not choose to wear this 'inferior' jade as an accessory, and the poor people did not have the silver to buy accessories, there was no market, and the price of this Xiuyu rough stone was naturally very low in Guanbei Road.

However, if it is trafficked to Beiyan or Nankang, this Xiuyu can be transformed, and its value will skyrocket by more than ten times and a hundred times. All because the people who choose this kind of jade pendant the most are some 'middle class' with small family backgrounds. And such people, although they are not common in Youbei Third Road, but in Beiyan and Nankang, there are by no means a few.

In the ancient books of etiquette, there was a saying that "the ancient gentleman must admire jade", so that the price of this Xiuyu raw material is also the cheapest, and it has become the most common choice for scholars and scholars from ordinary families.

Under the small profits and quick turnover, the profits that can be earned are higher than those of other expensive jade varieties by virtue of the advantages of goods such as rotation.

And these big stones of different sizes and serpentine patterns on the skin in front of him are the few large cars of Xiuyu rough stones that the 'young owner of the silver building' begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother. Judging from the purchase price agreed before, this trip of raw materials trafficking back to Yanjing City is almost the net profit income of the silver building for three years.

However, at this moment, what these big stones in front of them represent is no longer white silver, but black and white impermanence waving card-counting chains, showing a cold smile at the 200,000 soldiers and civilians of the Eastern Customs.

"If it doesn't go on like this, the fire can't be controlled at all, and if we can't speed up the progress, none of the men, women and children in the city will be able to escape. Come! Call me all the able-bodied soldiers, and we'll speed up the clearing of the gates!" ”

Liang Jing shouted at the herald who was carrying a crowbar. When the little herald heard this, he immediately commanded a man to take over the work in his hands, and ran to Liang Jing's ear in three steps and two steps, and asked out of breath without bothering to wipe off the sweat on his head:

"Mr. Liang mentioned that you are not afraid that if you leak the news, it will cause riots in the city? Although these stones are tightly blocked, they are not all boulders that cannot be done by manpower. Those old craftsmen have already come up with a few good methods, presumably within two hours, they can open the east city gate. ”

Liang Jing heard the estimated time of 'two hours', gritted his teeth and looked at the soldiers and civilians who were busy at the city gate, and shook his head gloomily:

"If you leak, you will leak, the army is lining up in the officialdom of Dongcheng, there is such a big movement here, I can't hide it for long. And when only manpower is exhausted, we can stop working without stopping, and the progress can be faster. If you are afraid of riots in the city, you can only send some more prison officers to patrol. If anyone dares to ask for trouble at this moment, I will have someone's head! ”

Liang Jing looked at the slow progress, gritting his teeth and creaking, if it weren't for the fact that the East City Gate was already crowded with people, he would have wanted to take off his armor and help the leader.

After making up his mind, Liang Jing returned to Dongmen Square again, ordered a few teams of elite sergeants, and ordered them to tear down all the houses near Dongmen Square.

This precautionary way of fighting fires is very correct in terms of practice. In this way, it is guaranteed that there is nothing flammable around the square; Since there is nothing to burn, it will naturally vacate a 'vacuum zone', which will also allow these hundreds of thousands of troops to get a little respite in this blazing fire. And now the entire southern city of the East Customs has been reduced to ashes, and those raging fire snakes have come from south to north along today's northwest wind, even Liang Jing, who has made the most correct deployment, has not increased much confidence because of this countermeasure.

In the face of the raging fire, the sergeants in the city, under the restraint of the sharp blades in the hands of the supervising army, could barely remember the military law and discipline, and acted in an orderly manner according to the constraints of the generals; However, the common people living in Donghaiguan City are faintly showing an uncontrollable trend.

The scorching flames and choking smoke bring fear to human beings is an absolutely irrepressible instinct. In addition to fear, there are also some reluctance, not only the rich and wealthy gentry are nostalgic for the wealth of the family, but even the poor people are reluctant to give up the worthless softness at home. At this time, the people who were responsible for managing and driving away the people were all the third-class officials of the East Customs, and they were usually villagers who looked up and didn't look down on the street, and the majesty in their words was naturally a little weaker.

When the sound of the people crying and scolding reached Liang Jing's ears, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and send another team of ruthless sergeants to the ground. As a 'corrupt official' with a high chest, Liang Jing has always disliked this simple and rude way to solve problems, but in the face of this ruthless fire, he really has no mood to think of a softer way to stabilize the hearts of the people in the city.

is the so-called endless road, just when Liang Jing's head was blocked into a paste by these complicated trivial matters, a cheer suddenly came from the east gate. Liang Jing, who was overjoyed in his heart, hurriedly ran over, only to see the little herald standing on a stone with a happy face, shouting to himself who had arrived:

"Mr. Liang, the city gate is open!"

Liang Jing looked in the direction of his finger and found that the pile of rubbles that had been blocked at the city gate finally revealed a 'cave' in the dark. Liang Jing jumped to the top of the stone mountain with a few steps, and took a closer look with the torch in the hand of a craftsman next to him, and found that on the opposite side of this cave, the city gate was already faintly visible!

"Good! Everyone, work hard, it's going to be through soon......"

Just when Liang Jing wanted to say something and cheer for everyone present, a soldier with a blackened face and a disheveled hair ran from behind him, shouting at him:

"Oh no, Mr. Liang! All the demolished houses have been set on fire, and now Dongcheng Square has been burned into a sea of fire, so go back and take a look! ”

Liang Jing, who was overjoyed and sorrowful, heard the bad news, and before he could figure out the 'technical problem' of 'why the stone courtyard wall can support combustion', he only felt that it was dark in front of him and rolled down from the top of the stone mountain......
