Chapter II. 191

And the reason for the problem that made Liang Jing faint is actually not complicated.

The reason for this problem is just like Shen Gui's concern - it is in people to plan things, and it is in heaven to achieve things. His response to 'push to the house and create a fire escape' was a perfect way to fight the fire, but now it has accelerated the spread of the fire.

To put this mistake aside, the small one is very ridiculous, but it is also very cruel. Because no matter what the strategy, it is up to people to carry it out. And the danger faced by those who put out the fire was not only the fire snake raging behind them, but also the steel knife in the palm of the prison army. Under the double fear of military law and flames, these soldiers naturally only focus on speed and have no time to care about the quality of their work. After pushing the stone courtyard wall and the wooden house, the two different building materials were not placed separately. If it's a big fire that starts on weekdays, it's not a big problem to mix them up like this; But now this fire, after all, is not just an accident......

The four of them on the winter solstice and the more than fifty shamans under He Wendao had already sprinkled all the fierce fire oil in the eighteen large wine jars on most of the buildings in the city; In this way, the stones could have stopped the spread of the fire, but if the stones had been attached to the fierce fire oil, it would not be impossible to direct the fire to the wood that was convenient for burning.

In this way, Liang Jing, who did not give any wrong instructions, carefully appreciated the care of the 'pig teammates'.

Of course, the Pingbei army gathered on the East Gate Square, and the tens of thousands of people in the East Customs, could be regarded as completely feeling the boundless mana of the 'Spirit of Fire'.

In the face of the purgatory-like scene of the Eastern Customs, only with the orders of the prison army and Liang Jing's generals barely maintained a stable situation for a while, and then completely lost control. Of course, no matter how sharp the steel knife is, it will definitely not be able to restrain the innate physiological reaction of human beings.

When the fire scorched his eyebrows and choked his mouth and nose, all discipline and training were blown away by the instinctive desire to survive. If the team in the flames at this time is replaced by the vanguard battalion of the Pingbei Army, there may be a possibility of re-stabilization; But after all, these people only have more than 40,000 Pingbei veterans, and the remaining more than 100,000 people are all reinforcements collected by the governors from various places. In the face of such a 'quality of soldiers', in this kind of crisis, there will naturally be no outstanding performance.

Unsurprisingly, the 150,000 Pingbei Army and more than 50,000 people in the city completely blew up the camp after the fire spread to the East Square.

Even though the prison officer slashed all the steel knives in his hands, he couldn't stop the men, women, and children who were running in all directions. This beheading death is far less tragic than the death of being consumed by flames. In the face of the approaching flames, both the soldiers and civilians, young and old, turned into headless flies and bumped around, and a few of them with dull eyes even rushed directly into the depths of the fire, and then a few tearing shouts were heard, and they were blocked by the thick smoke, turned into a coke, and disappeared from the eyes of everyone.

Liang Jing, who woke up quietly, stood up with a fierce son, looked at the wooden platform that had been ignited by the fire in the distance, sat on the ground, and his mind was completely in chaos. It wasn't until the little herald had the courage to throw his hand and slap him in the face that Liang Jing who had fallen into a state of 'death' woke up again.

"Mr. Liang reminds you to be sober, you look back, aren't all the people who dredge the city gate here still very sober? At this time, as the highest officer in the army, how can you be in a state of chaos when you are faced with a crisis? Now that the stone pile blocking the city gate has revealed a hole, we may not have that glimmer of life! ”

How could Liang Jing not understand these truths, but what caught his eyes were all the Northern Yan soldiers who were struggling and roaring in the sea of fire, these people were all the help troops drawn from the governor's mansions by His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven and the Prime Ministers on the left and right; And at this time, the 150,000 army is still under his own command. Now even a single soldier of the Northern Darkness has not been killed, and not an inch of the Northern Land has been touched, and all of them have turned into ashes.

In this way, even if he can finally escape, how can he go back to face the saint? Where did he put his Taishan boss, who was in the position of Zuo Cheng?

Unconsciously, I don't know if I was choked by the smoke, or I felt it, looking at the Beiyan soldiers who were caught in the sea of fire, Liang Jing's tears could no longer be suppressed, and the broken thread burst out of his eyes, and was immediately evaporated by the rolling heat wave, and there was no trace of existence anymore.

Even Liang Jing himself didn't know whether his tears were flowing for the 200,000 Northern Yan bloodlines that were about to turn to ashes, or for the future of the Northern Yan Dynasty.

At this time, in Yanjiagou, Guo Xing, who had been immobile for a long time, finally agreed to Feng Lianye's request, and allowed him to take a small team of soldiers and walk out of the valley to carefully investigate the enemy.

According to Feng Lianye's investigation, it was found that under his own 'laissez-faire' countermeasures, all the Flying Bear Army had already disappeared completely. Moreover, they withdrew their troops this time, and they withdrew very simply, and at this time, even the stove pit behind the camp had been filled in. This deliberately made Qiu did not commit any offense, and I don't know if it was to avoid the careful eyes of the Yan family's father and son to find the back account, or to show it to himself.

After receiving Feng Lianye's return, Guo Xingye fell into hesitation again. However, although the arrangements made in advance did not come in handy in the end, he still made arrangements for the whole army to retreat to the East Customs at the request of Feng Lianye. This arrangement is extremely safe, as long as they can successfully rejoin with the 150,000 army, then there will be no opponents of the Pingbei army in the entire Youbei Third Road.

Even so, he lost the opportunity to completely annihilate the Flying Bear Army, but he and his 8,000 cavalry also avoided dying with the enemy. All these changes, for Guo Xing, who is eager to avenge the murder of his father, although it is inevitable that there will be some unacceptable results.

Of course, at this time, this young marshal Guo Xing did not know the scene of purgatory on earth in the East Customs.

And Fu Yi, who they let go with their own hands, was leading more than 40,000 flying bear soldiers, singing triumphant songs, and slowly marching in the direction of Fengjing City along the official road with great ease. This time, they were no longer in a hurry, and they were not afraid that Guo Xing would lead the cavalry under his command to chase and kill them. All because after a whole day of bloody battles in the canyon, the 8,000 Pingbei cavalry in Guo Xing's hands still have combat effectiveness, and the number of soldiers who still have combat effectiveness is no more than 2,000 at most. Even if Guo Xing kills the horse, under such a gap in troops, it will not be able to create much lethality at all.

At the same time, the Li family, which was originally in a peaceful place, ushered in several uninvited guests.

Li Le'an, the eldest lady of the Li family, after successfully saving Fang Junping's life, was sent back to her hometown in the Great Wilderness City on Dongyou Road to escape the war under the protection of more than a dozen deaf brothers under Shen Gui. In fact, she could understand Shen Gui's decision, but facing more than a dozen deaf people who couldn't communicate along the way, it still made Miss Li's heart secretly write a 'small account' for Shen Gui.

Since the official start of the war between the two norths, Miss Li has not slept a peaceful sleep for a long time. He was worried that his father would be embarrassed by the old and young in the palace, and he was also worried that his sweetheart would return and be in danger.

But after all, Li Le'an also grew up in a wealthy family since he was a child, and in such a tense situation, he still did not show a trace of emotion. In fact, in her heart, she still longs to fight side by side with Shen Gui.

Since she returned to the Great Wilderness City, relatives from various branches have come to her door every day to ask to see her. Although she has a noble status, these people are also elders who have watched her grow up since childhood, and it is really difficult for the elders to ask to see, so she herself will inevitably be involved in their struggles for power and profit.

Although Li Le'an was extremely impatient and uninterested in those things, he didn't feel surprised in the face of those bizarre requests. After all, these things have been playing out in front of me all along, and they have not stopped for many years. Whether it is soft or hard, whether old or small, she has staged a different drama for her. And he has always been a cold watcher, performing with them in a colorful way.

However, a family banquet at noon today ended up unhappily. The reason is nothing new, that is, the four side elders of the Li family jointly 'advised' themselves. The plan of these four elders is also extremely simple: they want to buy back all the Guanbei land deeds in Li Deng's hands at a high price within three years, so that the four families can cultivate and use them on their own, save some complicated means of asking for instructions, and aim to 'improve work efficiency'.

Their request is actually reasonable. After all, Li Deng is now in the post of prime minister, and he has not been concerned about the affairs of the clan for a long time. Over the years, the affairs of the Dongyou Li family have also been decided by these four side elders. Of course, the final decision still has to be sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion and can only be decided after waiting for the approval of the head of the family, Li Deng. In the long run, it is indeed a bit cumbersome and inconvenient.

According to what these four elders thought, after they bought back all the land deeds of the Li Mansion, they only needed to pay a clan tribute to Li Deng on time in the future, and the actions of the rest of the clans would be decided by the clan side members, and there was no need to get Li Deng's approval for everything. And the amount of this tribute is by no means much less than Lee Deng's income today.

This was supposed to be a good thing for both sides, but the eldest lady of the Li family still smelled a hint of unusual smell at the moment when they made the suggestion. Therefore, when faced with the inquiries of the four elders in the family, he only shirked and said, "I still need to send a letter to Fengjing City tomorrow to ask for my father's opinion before I can reply to your uncles", and I wanted to send the four old men away for the time being.

And when he encounters this kind of thing in the past, Li Le'an also does the same. After all, no matter how noble the only daughter of the lineage is, she is only a woman after all, and she can't be the master of his Li Deng at all. Therefore, it is reasonable to respond to the elders of the clan in this way.

But this time, the four elders obviously didn't stop there, and still chattered about the benefits for a few hours......

In the end, Li Le'an was able to get out under the protection of more than a dozen winter solstice spies. However, in the middle of the night, at the moment of the sound of bangzi outside the courtyard, outside Li Le'an's embroidery room, there was a sound of heavy objects falling to the ground......
