Chapter 180: Victory
When Lu Chen heard this, he looked down, but he didn't see the reason, a black mark appeared in the city where the fire spread, this is normal!
Seeing that he was confused, Liang Xiao explained: "King, these are footprints. ”
Footprints? Do you have feet as small as a finger?
"This person's feet didn't hit the ground, only a little bit of force."
Liang smiled and spoke, walked to the courtyard wall in three steps and two steps, pointed to a black spot on the wall, and said: "Look here, the king looks here, these two footprints are the same person, and here is not less than twenty steps away from the king, and there are no other footprints in between, that is to say, someone from the king, with light skills, one jumped to Weichen's place." ”
"King, there are masters who have been here." Liang Xiao said with a gloomy face: "That woman just now, I'm afraid there is a problem." ”
"That's right, this king is also suspicious of her, otherwise, how could he let you come in and investigate for no reason." Lu Chen said with a smile.
"Huh? When did the king ......," Liang Xiao said in surprise.
"Let's go, the fire is getting bigger here, let's talk as we go."
Lu Chen waved his hand, the two of them walked out of the courtyard and walked in the direction of Xicheng, Lu Chen said as he walked: "Actually, at the beginning, this king didn't think about it so much, but she was too calm, so calm that she seemed to know that this king was coming to save her." ”
"The king means ......"
"Do you think she doesn't know the identity of this king?"
"Shhh...... That's right, the king, the woman of an ordinary family, how can she be so silent when she sees the king. Liang Xiao took a breath and said.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "King, this woman is by no means a good type, now it seems that she is deliberately approaching the king and plotting against her, according to Wei Chen's opinion, she will be taken down immediately and interrogated severely!" ”
"Huh?" Lu Chen waved his hand and said with a slight smile: "Aren't you surprised, if she made a special trip here to wait for this king, it means that this woman has been lurking here for a long time, even if there is no fire, I'm afraid she will use other methods to get close to this king, so hard, what do you want to do?" ”
Speaking of this, Lu Chen paused slightly, and then continued: "Killing her is very simple, but if you break this beauty plan, it is difficult to guarantee that no one else will carry out any other conspiracy, the so-called open gun is easy to dodge and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, instead of killing this woman, it is better to let the other party know that their beauty plan is successful, and we can plan it." At the very least, for us, that's clear! ”
Liang smiled when he heard this, nodded slowly, and said, "The king wants to follow the vine and find out the people behind it." ”
"Let's see what their purpose is, too!" Lu Chen said with a smile.
This fire, with the help of the wind, spread wantonly, and in a short period of time, it covered the entire giant city.
Three days later, the fire burned out, and the county town of Hedong was in ruins, there was not a single intact building in the city, there were broken walls everywhere, the ground was full of charred charcoal chips, and in many places, wisps of light smoke were still rising.
Thirty miles outside the city, the camp of the Wind Army.
Lu Chen glanced at Sima Wen and asked, "This fire, have the casualties in the city been counted?" ”
"Back to the king, after the fire was extinguished, the soldiers went to the city to investigate, and after a rough count, there were still corpses in human form...... There are more than 80,000, and the deepest part of the fire has been ...... The bodies of the people can no longer be found......"
Sima Wen said cautiously: "However, according to preliminary estimates, 150,000 people should have been killed this time......
"Smack!" Lu Chen slapped the table hard, got up and said angrily: "How can this be true! Zhang Jun is really hateful! This king will not give up on this matter! When the time comes, blood will be washed and a tooth for a tooth! ”
Hearing this, Sima Wen secretly swallowed his saliva, lowered his body and said, "King, the biggest problem now is probably not here. ”
As he spoke, he paused, and then said boldly: "This fire has burned down the entire county town, so that hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced and homeless, and most of them have gone to other counties to join their relatives. And Hedong County has fertile land, and the destruction of the county town is equivalent to hurting the foundation, and the people have no place to live, so there is no one to cultivate on such fertile land, and in our country, although the king has tried to rule for three years, the money in the treasury is used to dredge water conservancy, build schools, and build ordnance, and he is simply unable to rebuild a big city of this scale......"
"If we can't rebuild Hedong, then this fertile land will become barren and inhabited." Lu Chen continued his words and muttered.
Originally, he thought that this recovery of Hedong would lead the Wind Country to the road of prosperity and strength, and get rid of poverty step by step, but he didn't expect that this richest place has now become a ruin.
Clenched his fist fiercely, Lu Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Fight!" This time the king is going to use his fists to knock this city back! ”
Hearing this, Xiao Wang immediately arched his hand and said, "King, the minister thinks that although this fire has destroyed Hedong, it may ...... It's also a good thing. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Chen asked in a condensed voice.
Xiao Wang explained:
"First, this fire has burned the morale of our army to the top! In the future battles against Zhangdi, our army will be invincible! ”
"Second, with this fire, my country's attack on the chapter has become justified and famous! And not to encroach on the land of Zhangguo! ”
"Third, the evil deeds of the Zhang army will be blamed by the people of the world, and when the time comes, the battle of Fengzhang, the nations will definitely not help the Zhang ......"
Yikes! After listening to Xiao Wang's words, Lu Chen's eyes couldn't help but light up! Then he took a deep breath and said slowly: "Then according to the prime minister's opinion, my country can have a few chances of winning." ”
"Victory!" Xiao Wang said categorically.
In order to stop the pursuit of the wind army, Tang Cheng set a fire in the east of the river, and this fire also brought the hatred of all the wind people to the top!
A few days later, Lu Chen led his army over the ruins of Hedong and continued to march eastward, approaching Zhangdi!
At this time, Tang Cheng had already led the army to join Nie Heng, a total of 450,000 troops, led by the general Nie Heng, and temporarily stationed on the plain at the border of Fengzhang.
In the Chinese military tent, after hearing about Tang Cheng's arson and burning of the city, Nie Heng's head buzzed, and he stood up from his position at once, pointed at Tang Cheng and shouted:
"Tang Cheng! You horseman! Who told you to do this!? You want to kill my Zhang Guo! ”
His loud drink startled Tang Cheng, who shrank his neck, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and stammered: "Go up...... General, he just ruined the east of the wind country, and he didn't ...... It's not that serious......"
"You know!" Nie Heng's fingers connected Tang Cheng through the air, and said through gritted teeth:
"You horseman! So against the sky! It will surely anger the Wind Army! Make it desperate to find Zhang Guo for revenge! And the wind army came with anger, and when the whole army is up, it will definitely be the same enemy! Go ahead! And our country! At this time, he fought with Yan in Longxi, how could he still resist the wolf-like wind army! And once this matter spreads, Zhang Guo will definitely be blamed by the world, the battle of Fengzhang, who will help Zhang Guo!? ”
