Chapter 658: Free Charcoal Burning
Guo Zhizhao took another effort and went to the lofty construction site of Tiandi City. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info this night battle, Gao Jun said that he would not let his Xizhou soldiers participate.
Gao Jun said that he couldn't ignore his family, except for his wife and sister, who were his brother-in-law at Longquan Pavilion, how could he make a big deal! At most, if you can't beat it, you will ask the shepherd team to run, and only use Ashina thin cloth to Tiandi City to burn charcoal without taking wages.
When the edict was gone, Gao Junzheng commanded people to rebuild the stables with a hundred times the spirit, cleaned up all the burned wood and handed it to Zhao County Order, and asked him to find a car to pull to the city, "The elderly who have no labor at home, give them points and keep them for winter warmth." ”
There were a lot of wood that had not been burned at all, and he would not let them move, saying that they would have to be burned again, and that they would have to be smeared with some black oil. Guo Zhizhao asked, "When will you come next time?" ”
Gao Jun shook his head, "I don't know, when they wait a little anxiously, it is estimated that it is hard work, my subordinates are not very persistent, how about you come for two nights, big brother, we will give you a hand." ”
"There won't be fewer people again, right?" Waiting for the edict to guess, "Otherwise, I will go to Xizhou to ask my father for some soldiers." ”
Gao Jun shook his head, "It's not good if they are shocked, who will burn them if they don't come to charcoal?" ”
Two days later, the stables and horse pens took shape again. However, it is obvious that it has not been planned for a long time, and it is more crooked than the last time. At night, all the people on the construction site who had nothing to do with the fighting withdrew into the field city, and the city gates were closed. Gao Jun asked Lirong to also go into the city and go to the ancestral house to rest. Lirong said that she was going to the city to see how the battle was going.
Gao Jun said, "Then you can't light a fire, don't make a loud noise, otherwise you will startle the arsonist and give up all your efforts." Lirong said yes. As soon as it got dark, she and two curious women from the neighbor's house brought quilts and mats to the city, spread out the warmth at the city, and sat down to wait for the show.
It was pitch black everywhere under the city, except for two lamps hanging in the half-built pasture, and Gao Jun's people disappeared somewhere. At first, there was no movement, and Lirong and the other were about to fall asleep, when another woman quietly woke them up, "It's here!" ”
Under the dim light, only the shadows of dozens of people flashed, silently approaching the stable like a ghost, Lirong's heart was about to jump to her throat, watching those people smear the black oil they brought on the wooden fences and wooden pillars that had just been erected, and then hit the fire sickle. Lirong Xin said why don't you start fighting faster.
The fire is on again! First, a puff of smoke drifted down the wind to the city, and the three women couldn't help coughing. The people below obviously heard it but were not in a hurry to leave, and they were still there to draw the flames from the prosperous place to the unprosperous place, and it seemed that they had to burn the place clean.
From the beginning to the end, Jun's shepherd team did not appear, and these people seemed to be unwilling, and they lingered in the fire for a while before riding their horses and disappearing into the night. After they had walked for a while, Lirong saw the shepherds rushing towards them with torches from a long distance.
The other two women said, "It's early, let them burn it a little longer, and the charcoal will burn better!" ”
Lirong said, "You don't understand this...... I don't understand either. But it must make sense that I'm in charge of the house at this time, so let's keep our eyes open and watch! ”
They saw the torches of the shepherds go south, and gradually disappear into the night, and then they could not see anything, not even hear the shouts. The three of them were a little interested, and after waiting for a while, no one came back, and another person was worried, "Nothing will happen to the tall people, right?" That's not good! ”
Lirong was from Tiandi City, and she was an old neighbor with these two, so when she heard their words, she stopped, "Crow's mouth, why don't you say something nice!" When did my Jiajun suffer any losses! ”
Seeing that they couldn't see anything anymore, the three of them hugged the quilt and slowly went down to the city. They saw a group of people hiding under the West City Gate, Zhao Xianling sniffed his nose and said loudly to the people below, "It's enough to wait, up!" ”
They saw the gates of the city wide open, and hundreds of men and women ran to the fire with barrels and tubs full of water. Lirong said, "Let's go check it out!" ”
From afar, he felt a scorching breath rushing towards his face, and Zhao Xianling commanded loudly, "Come here, go there...... Leave it alone here! ”
The water poured into the fire, and the heat rose, and they cheered, "There is no end to the charcoal again!" ”
The people were busy until dawn, and the tall man and their shepherd team did not return. Lirong became worried, "Didn't you say that General Guo wanted to help?" Why haven't you seen a single Xizhou soldier, it won't be because the shepherd team has suffered a loss! ”
There is no one on the left and no one on the right, and Lirong is even more uneasy, so she has to go and see if she finds a horse. Zhao Xianling arranged for five or six men from the city to ride horses to accompany her.
Lirong rode her horse and walked along the avenue outside the city in the direction of Futu City, and saw that the road was full of marks that had been loosened by the horse's hooves. But there was no sign of a fight between the two sides along the way, not a single wounded man, not a single wounded horse. Two of the people who accompanied Lirong were skeptical, "It's not wonderful! ”
Lirong listened and kept urging the horse. When she arrived at the bottom of Futu City, she saw the flags fluttering at the head of the city, and the heads of people behind the battlements were crowded, most of them pointing in one direction. Looking further, she saw a cloud of smoke and dust under Jinsha Ridge in the distance rushing into the sky, and she ran in that direction desperately.
There were indeed 1,500 people who came out to set fire last night, and the leader took his heart, "Set a fire, why do you need so many people!" Let's take a back hand today," he asked a small group of people to go and set fire to it, while more than 1,000 of his own people set up a circle in the dark, just waiting for the Tianshan Mu herding team to chase after him and give him a reckoning.
But the people who were chasing after them were only far away, and did not chase them too closely, and when they were a little closer, they stopped and only shouted there, but the torches were many and bright. The leader said, "It doesn't look like it's going to happen, but this time it's good, let's go!" ”
None of them lost a man, and returned quietly to the city, but they were to enter through the south gate by which they had come out. However, there was still a distance from the city gate, and I saw a small horse team galloping out from Jinshaling, holding torches high, as if it was going to the rescue of Tiandi City.
The leader said, "It's not good to go back to the city at this time, isn't it not a self-confession?" As we had agreed in advance, we went to the Willow Valley to cover up temporarily, and then returned to the city to receive merit after the limelight had passed. ”
Trees and weeds are overgrown in the willow valley, and many years of dry shrubs and weeds fill the valley mouth, and there have always been few people. In particular, entering from the west side of the Willow Valley requires crossing a mountain beam, and going down from the west of Futu City to the side of the avenue to the Baiyang River, which ordinary people do not know at all. It is estimated that the guards from the ranch did not know that there was such an entrance.
Fifteen hundred men pulled their horses and led them along a narrow mountain path that was not easy to walk into the valley. The grass is rampant, scratching people's clothes and faces, and no one is silent. Looking back behind him, a torch light appeared above, and it seemed that he had lost his tracking target. The leader scolded, "They're following closely! See if he dares to come down! ”
Someone wondered, "What a strange smell!" There were a lot of grease-like things on the grass and trees around him, and someone touched the dark and leaned in to sniff it, "Why is it so like black oil?!" ”
