Chapter 40: Then the jade will be burned
In this way, the jade will be burned, but Long Shouyi understands that this is the only way for him to break the game so far.
"Burn it, and let these foolish people go to hell with their masters." Long Shouyi personally picked up the torch and threw it towards a haystack.
The Zhao Mansion is very large, and the design is also exquisite, among which there are various hidden passages, even if the ordinary army forcibly breaks through the gate of the Zhao Mansion, there is nothing to do in the face of the inside of the Zhao Mansion like a labyrinth for a while.
Long Shouyi can't care so much, no matter how many secret passages there are, as long as the fire burns strong enough, there is nothing that can't be burned.
Soon a fire ignited in the east of Zhongzhou City, igniting half of the night sky, and the entire Zhao Mansion began to be shrouded in raging fire.
"Damn! Who gave you such an idea! At this time, it was Zhao Yang's turn to regret it, he looked at the henchman kneeling in front of him, and couldn't help but throw all that resentment over.
"Young master, it's a little reckless, I didn't expect that Long Shouyi was so good that he was willing to follow Long Shouyi to die at such a moment." That henchman is also miserable.
Originally, he thought that the plot he designed was ingenious enough, he first selected Gu Tong who was not in their camp from several people who had a grudge against Long Shouyi, and then sent someone to secretly do it, and then spread rumors that Long Shouyi was a traitor. The beginning was also extremely smooth, Gu Tong's subordinates also had a grudge against Long Shouyi after learning that Gu Tong was killed by Long Shouyi, which would have slowly turned into a force belonging to Zhao Yang's camp, but He Nai didn't expect Long Shouyi's dying counterattack to be so fierce.
There is no way to do this, he was originally just a subordinate, and he was promoted to this point by being ruthless and doing a lot of things for Zhao Yang that couldn't be seen on the surface. He didn't know how to command the army, but simply thought that he could separate Long Shouyi and his subordinates in various ways.
But Long Shouyi has been the commander of the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry for so long, and even at the beginning of the birth of the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry, he has joined the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry service, of course he knows how to gather the military heart at this time.
In fact, the soldiers have lived in the barracks for a long time, repeating a lot of training every day, and they are very simple creatures, and Long Shouyi, as their commander, has lived with them for so long, and he is also their kindest person.
At this time, let the rumors outside be rampant, as long as Long Shouyi vetoed it and claimed that this was the Zhao family's framing of him, as long as there was no conclusive evidence, the soldiers under his command would naturally give priority to trusting him.
Of course, this is related to the unique particularity of the Zhongzhou Iron Horse, which has changed two owners in a very short period of time. They were first the most elite cavalry units arranged by the Lanhe Empire in Zhongzhou to threaten the whole country, and after Lin Haoyan was assassinated, due to the early infiltration of the Zhao family, the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry began to become the Zhao family's private army, and Zhao Xiyuan was their second master.
It's just that Zhao Xiyuan has not completely "nationalized" the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry, he fell on the road of the imperial driver's personal conquest, Zhao Xiyuan's sudden death made the Zhao family's power begin to disperse, and the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry was officially split at this moment.
As a result, the current Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry's loyalty to the object of allegiance has plummeted, and it has slowly turned into loyalty to the army under their respective commands, and even faintly has the prototype of a warlord.
"On fire?" Zhao Fu immediately stopped the group of iron armies accompanying him.
In the face of the chaos in Zhongzhou City, the direction of Zhao Mansion was blazing, and Zhao Fu certainly would not bring all the Iron Arm Army over in one go, but continued to choose to act separately - this is the only way to control the entire Zhongzhou City as quickly as possible.
The entire 10,000 Iron Arm Army who secretly infiltrated Zhongzhou City, after taking off their night clothes, walking in Zhongzhou City at this moment would not seem too obvious, but it was better to say that the fire on the Zhao Mansion side had already scorched the eyes of the entire Zhongzhou City.
Although Zhao Mansion is the top priority in controlling Zhongzhou City, since this Zhongzhou City will fall into his hands sooner or later, Zhao Fu wants an intact Zhongzhou City that can play its good role in Zhongzhou.
By the time Zhao Fu arrived at the Zhao Mansion in the east of the city with a number of iron-armed soldiers, it had turned into a pile of burnt haystacks, and the firelight illuminated the entire east of Zhongzhou City.
The sound of all kinds of wooden beams being burned down, howls, and invectives are endless. At the scene, there were soldiers who were entangled in fire running out of the collapsing Zhao Mansion, and the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry, who obeyed Long Shouyi's orders, constantly intercepted those soldiers who rushed out of the fire and prevented them from continuing to break through.
Obviously, Long Shouyi was not unaware of the current situation, and after he had a premonition of the threat he might encounter, he directly arranged such a backhand here.
After Long Shouyi ordered the ignition, he completely isolated the entire Zhao Mansion from Zhongzhou City, and the raging fire was now only spreading and rising within the scope of the Zhao Mansion. At the same time, his soldiers were also constantly intercepting all kinds of soldiers stationed in various parts of Zhongzhou City who came from all over Zhongzhou City to support Zhao Mansion.
"The Zhao Mansion was set on fire by internal thieves, and now the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry Dragon General is investigating, and no one is allowed to enter and leave at will!"
All those who came to support were stopped, no matter what kind of person they were. This is talking nonsense with his eyes open, looking at the colleagues who are struggling in the fire at the moment, anyone can guess that this matter must have been done by the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry present. Obviously, at this moment, except for Long Shouyi and his subordinates, the others are all nobody.
But how could these sporadic soldiers be the well-trained Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry today, when Zhao Yang even transferred part of the defenders of Zhongzhou City in order to arrange the defense line of the three cities.
And at this moment, Gu Tong, the commander who is responsible for guarding the Zhao Mansion, has died, and everyone in the Zhao Mansion can be said to want to cry without tears at this moment.
Long Shouyi looked at the Zhao Mansion with satisfaction, and now the periphery has been burned to ruins, and he has even thought about the next rhetoric: It is probably that the hostile forces sent people to assassinate the two young masters in the Zhao Mansion, and after the assassination was successful, he even set a fire to destroy the corpses, and he surrounded the Zhao Mansion in order to arrest the murderer and prevent the murderer from escaping.
This is typical, whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.
"What to do!" Zhao Yang paced anxiously, the courtyard where he was located was one of the few places in the Zhao Mansion that had not been fully burned, and this was due to the fact that several subordinates in his courtyard were constantly pouring water from the well on the courtyard wall and various places.
