Chapter 238: Air Pollution

It turned out that the general was only proud, never thought that when the rocket entered his hands, a little spark had ignited the fire oil in his hand, at first the fire head was weak, and the hand was wrapped in thick oil, I couldn't feel it, and then I was proud in my heart, and then I was startled, the flames had become a piece, and the hot feeling got into the heart of the general. The general hurriedly plunged his hands into the water tank at the head of the city, and the speed was extremely fast, and the fire was immediately extinguished, and the general was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Quickly douse the fire with water." ”

The soldiers lifted the buckets, filled them with clean water, and sprinkled them into the raging fire, but the fire did not weaken, but spread along the water, so frightened that the soldiers lost the buckets and kept chanting Buddha.

The porcelain jar kept being thrown up, and soon the head of Fahrenheit City was full of fires, billowing smoke rising into the sky, and began to spread in all directions with the help of the wind. The soldiers at the head of the city were slow, either engulfed in fire or smoked to death. For a time, the city became a hell on earth, and countless wails resounded through the heavens and the earth.

Sixty-four splendid city gate towers fell in the firelight. The barracks inside the city walls were also attacked by billowing smoke, and the soldiers could not bear the choking smell and ran out of the barracks one after another, away from the city walls.

When Plamoyi IV heard that the Han army had set the entire city on fire, he couldn't help asking, "How did they do it?" How? ”

Erconda was well-informed and said to him: "Your Majesty the Emperor, it is really despicable that the Han army should attack the city with black oil produced in the desert. ”

"Kerose? Can fire oil also be used for siege? Prumui IV said in a daze.

"This oil burns when it gets wet, and the fire is extremely fierce." Erkunda doesn't know what to say, people have already used it to attack the city, and the emperor still asks such a childish thing.

Fahrenheit was a long, narrow city, and the smoke from the burning oil soon filled the city. Stretchi IV covered his mouth with a handkerchief, coughed incessantly, and said after a while: "Prime Minister, the smoke after the burning of the oil is suffocating, and the more than one million soldiers and civilians in Hua's City are afraid that they can't bear it anymore." ”

Erkunda also had difficulty breathing, and after coughing a few times in a low voice, he said: "Your Majesty, 200,000 soldiers, I don't know how many casualties there have been now, if this continues, Hua City is no longer able to parry and can no longer fight." ”

The fire at the head of the city burned for two hours, and before the fire at the head of the city could be extinguished, the gates of the city were opened with a bang, and hundreds of people and soldiers ran out of the city with their hands over their noses and mouths.

Cao Cao had already ordered the army to retreat to avoid smoke, and when he saw so many people going out of the city, he coughed one by one and cried ghosts and gods, and he couldn't bear it, and said to Zhuge Ke: "Arrange for Tianzhu Qingzhuang outside the city to guide the people to go." The soldiers in the city, after screening, were divided and detained. ”

Cao Cao still felt that something was wrong, so he asked him to find a military doctor and ask him to try to treat the old and infirm; He called Zhuge Ke again, and said worriedly: "Yuan Xun, our army is on an expedition, and the people's will is important." Is there a way to prevent the seeds of hatred from being planted in the hearts of the people of Fahrenheit? ”

Zhuge Ke didn't expect a fire to affect the people, and said guiltily: "Cao Gong, I was thoughtless and accidentally injured the people." For the sake of the future, they had to let the people outside the city comfort them, telling them that this was the last resort of the Golden Light Bodhisattva, and that they could transfer their hatred to Purumai IV. ”

Cao Cao bowed slightly, and Zhuge Ke hurriedly went.

After talking with El Kunda, when he came to the harem, he couldn't see anyone, he opened his mouth and shouted, and only after a long time did he see a rickety figure appear, and Purmoi grabbed the man's collar and said loudly: "And Bodhidharma, what about people?" Where have they gone? ”

He Bodhidharma coughed for a long time and said: "Your Majesty, cough.., the people in the palace... Ahem..., I can't stand the smell, ahem..., I'm out of the city. ”

Prumoi was furious, kicked away the old slave who had served him for many years, and said, "Why didn't you go? ”

"Ahem..., I can't run, Your Majesty the Emperor."

Seeing that He Bodhidharma was coughing extremely uncomfortable, Pu Moyi suddenly found his conscience in his heart, and when he walked over, he was about to help He Bodhidharma, and Bodhidharma waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, if you continue like this, the whole city will die, so you should quickly find a way to get out of the city." ”

Prumoi suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "Out of the city? Where can I go? ”

Seeing that his emperor was crazy, he hurriedly got up and hugged the legs of Purumi IV, and cried and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, Tianzhu has formed an alliance with Persia, hurry up and find a way to go to Persia." ”

At this time, Plamoyi IV was poured a basin of cold water, and he thought that it was good, yes, he went to Persia. He hurriedly said, "Go and inform the important ministers and protect me to go to Persia." ”

And Bodhidharma's heart is cool and cool, at this time, has one of the important ministers mentioned by the emperor appeared? Could it be that the emperor is really stupid? When Purumi IV saw that He Bodhidharma was standing still, he was furious and shouted: "Why don't you go yet? ”

He Bodhidharma coughed again, and said with a trembling corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty the Emperor, please wake up, why didn't any of those important ministers come to protect Your Majesty?" ”

Pulu Moyi instantly understood that he kept saying that he was loyal to his ministers, his siblings, and his own close princes, none of them showed their heads at this time, even their concubines, all of them were gone, even the old slave in front of him, if he could run, he would have run away a long time ago. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, his heart was full of anger, he pulled out his waist knife, slashed at Bodhidharma, and shouted: "You have all betrayed me, you are all sinners of Tianzhu." ”

And Bodhidharma was unwilling, and fell to the gray ground. With a knife in his hand, Prumui IV suddenly ran out of the palace with a scream, and strangely enough, did not cough at all.

Fahrenheit was an empty city, and three days later, the Han army entered, and the pungent smell was still in the air, and the streets and buildings were covered with black ashes, and dead livestock and old people could be seen everywhere. Cao Cao came to the street leading to the palace, and a richly dressed Tianzhu man was lying on his back to the sky, his eyes wide open, and a scimitar was abandoned on his right hand, the handle of which was lavishly decorated and inlaid with precious stones.

Cao Cao said to El Kunda: "Prime Minister Tianzhu, this is your Imperial Majesty? ”

"Yes, exactly," said Elconda. ”

Cao Cao instructed Cao Zhang: "Clean up and bury it." ”

Coming to the palace, Erconda said: "This General Cao, when will the crown prince be crowned?" ”

Cao Cao said: "Isn't the Prime Minister unwilling to be this Tianzhu Emperor?" ”

El Kunda said: "You Han people advocate loyalty and righteousness, and we Tianzhu people are also loyal and righteous. Prumoyi IV had a brutal personality, he didn't know how to cherish the people, and sooner or later he would be pushed down by angry people and slaves, and the Han army killed Prumoyi IV, and the people of Tianzhu were grateful. Now that the son is here, I will assist him well, let him cherish the people, and no longer follow his father's old path. ”

A trace of jealousy flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Prime Minister, now that I am busy with military affairs, let's postpone the coronation of the prince for a while." ”

El Kunda said loudly: "I, waiting for the minister of Tianzhu, will not hesitate to protect the prince and surrender to the Han army, and am willing to be a vassal of the Han State, will General Cao rebel?" ”

Cao Cao was worried that he couldn't find an opportunity, and when he saw El Conda being presumptuous, he was furious, and said loudly: "Lock up this prime minister and the prince of Tianzhu and strictly guard them; Minister Tianzhu, divided into detainers. ”

Erkunda's mouth was full of exclamation, Cao Cao knew that he was scolding himself, but he didn't understand, so he should be tickling.

Cao Cao disposed of El Conda, and Feiying sent a letter to Liu Ze, asking for instructions on Tianzhu's governance. When the letter was sent, he sent Mulu and Wutu Gu to lead 50,000 Tianzhu soldiers to the Acropolis to assist Wei Yan.

More than ten days later, Liu Ze's will came, and he wrote tens of thousands of words, and Cao Cao was overjoyed when he saw it, and immediately complied with it.

It turned out that Liu Ze's army was facing the army of the Persian Empire, and they had been fighting for a long time, and they had won and lost each other, and at this time Cao Cao's letter came. Hearing that Cao Cao had pacified Tianzhu, Liu Ze was overjoyed and thought about how to govern this country of Asan, which was famous for its population and serious differentiation between the rich and the poor in later generations.

Liu Ze learned from the practice of Taizu in later generations, took Tianzhu as a state, let Cao Ang be the assassin of history, and then divided Tianzhu into more than a dozen counties, each county has a personnel chief officer, an administrative chief official, and the personnel chief officer supervises the administration of the chief executive, and has the right to remove all administrative personnel other than the chief executive. Of course, the chief personnel officer is a person from the Han Dynasty, and the chief administrative officer is a Tianzhu person. Finance and military power must be firmly controlled by one's own people. All Han officials are rotated every three years to avoid the tail not falling out.

Jiang Ji was in Yizhou and received Liu Ze's order to start transferring officials at all levels and recruiting students who had just graduated. Over the years in Nanzhong, Cao Ang has been quite effective in educating the barbarians, and he has been appointed to organize a small personal guard, all of which are composed of capable men among the barbarians.

When Cao Ang led a huge team to Hua's City, more than two months had passed, and Cao Cao was also happy when he saw his son taking on the first responsibility, and of course his private instructions were indispensable.

Zhuge Ke originally thought that the position of Tianzhu Thorn was his own, but he didn't expect a Cao Ang to descend out of thin air, and he was quite unwilling in his heart. Later, I thought about the position of my father and the position of my second uncle, which could not be compared with Cao Cao in any way, so I had to prepare materials according to my patience.

More than a month later, Cao Cao led 100,000 Han troops, more than 200,000 Tianzhu surrendered, of course, at this time it should be called the Han army, a total of 300,000 men and horses, tens of thousands of war elephants, carrying a large amount of grain and grass, rushed to Guishan, to participate in the battle with Persia.

The Persian reinforcements heard the news that Purmoyi IV was killed, the city of Fahrenheit was broken, and the Han army went deep, and watched for a while, and was quietly set up by Wei Yan in the city of Mahismati, the retreat of the Persian reinforcements, mainly the elephant soldiers of the King of Mulu, fought a beautiful ambush battle, and the Persian reinforcements could run back to less than one-third of the country.
