Fang Yu took a breath of relief, his expression was solemn, and he said, "If I agree, can you let my family go?" ”

The bearded man nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will do what we say and will never break our promise." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info However, you don't seem to have a choice. ”

Chun'er smiled very charmingly and said, "Judge Fang, what's the matter, do you still want to regret it?" ”

"No regrets, no regrets. Miss Chun'er, I listen to you, but I don't know how to act? Fang Yu asked.

"It's very simple, you just have to listen to our arrangement, and you're good to go. As long as you can arrange for us to enter Taicang, it will be a great achievement! The bearded man said.

Fang Yu nodded vigorously and agreed.

It is better to choose a day than to hit the day, Chun'er and the bearded man have been preparing for a long time, and they immediately took action, and several big men pushed out a small car, which was filled with sacks, and the top bags were filled with grain, and under the leadership of Fang Yu, they rushed towards Taicang.

At this time, it was already dusk, and the setting sun sprinkled the only little afterglow on the earth, and Fang Yu's face was relaxed on the surface, but in fact he was very nervous. As night gradually fell, the soldiers patrolling the streets began to increase, after all, it was a time of war, Qian Hongyu issued a decree and declared a curfew, in case someone did evil in secret.

Although the official position of Fang Yu is not big, but in charge of Taicang and other real power units, there are still many people who know them, and the soldiers patrolling along the way see Fang Yu officials, and from time to time someone comes to say hello. Fang Yu's face was full of red light and greeted everyone.

Some soldiers wondered, what was Fang Yu going to do at this time with someone pushing a cart? Fang Yu found a reason, saying that he was taking people to Taicang to sort out the treasury, carry grain, and count the number, after all, this is an extraordinary period, and only by grasping the quantity of grain at any time can we know the root cause.

Some soldiers asked about the amount of food, and Fang Yu explained with a smile that there were still more than 7 million stones of grain in Taicang, which was still sufficient, and the soldiers did not need to worry. The soldiers on patrol were relieved when they heard that there was still so much food, and Hangzhou still had enough food, and it was close to the sea, so they could cook salt on the spot and catch fish, even if they were besieged for a year, it didn't matter.

Along the way, Fang Yu's officials delayed for nearly an hour before they approached Taicang. Hangzhou's Taicang is built on the high ground, so as not to accumulate water, especially Hangzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, there is also a continuous rainy season, if Taicang is not built on a high place, these hoarded grains are easy to mold and spoil.

The bearded man glanced up at Taicang, frowned, and asked, "How much grain is there in Hangzhou City?" ”

Fang Yu replied, "It's not a secret, there are mainly granaries such as Taicang and Yicang in Hangzhou, Taicang is mainly where the government hoards grain, and Yicang is ......."

The bearded man waved his hand and said, "I know this, you don't have to explain it to me, let's talk about the point!" ”

Fang Yu said busily: "Taicang originally hoarded nearly seven or eight million stone grain, but with the war, the food consumption is huge, and now the actual grain in Taicang is less than four million stone, as for Yicang, it is about less than 500,000 stone grain. ”

The bearded man nodded, and the righteous warehouse was usually put by the common people, and it was hoarded to be used in case of disaster. Wuyue Fish and Rice Township, although the grain output is very high, but the Qian family exploitation is very heavy, most of the people can not take out the excess grain and put it in Yicang, so there is not much grain in Yicang.

Taicang's grain of four million stones seems to be a lot, but Hangzhou is the capital of Wu Yueguo, with a large number of forbidden soldiers, in addition to a bloated bureaucracy, their food includes rice grain, all of which are allocated by Taicang, and there are hundreds of thousands of outputs every month, and the grain of four million stones is actually not much. Moreover, as the weather warms up, wars are raging in Wuyue Kingdom, and many places have missed spring ploughing, and this autumn's harvest must be very bad.

It is too difficult for four million stone grain to be supported until next year.

The bearded man was a little strange, just now Fang Yu also told the soldiers that there were more than seven million stones, how could it be less than four million stones now? His face changed slightly.

Fang Yu hurriedly explained that he had just deceived them, otherwise he heard that there was not much food, and the soldiers would inevitably have other thoughts, and maybe they would pull him to ask more things, so the delay would be longer. The bearded man agreed with this statement and urged Fang Yu to enter Taicang.

In Taicang, there were no more people, Fang Yu flickered a few guards, and entered the depths of Taicang, there were only a few low-level officials in it who were busy, and when they saw Fang Yu coming in, someone greeted and asked.

Fang Yu explained with a smile, although some people thought it was strange, but after finishing the matter, they still left in a hurry. The bearded man and a few people pushed the cart aside, waiting for the opportunity, and after the time of the small half pillar of incense, the rest of the officials also left.

Fang Yu waited for a while, and after confirming that everyone had left, he walked towards the depths of Taicang with the bearded man. At this time, the storage technology of grain storage has been very advanced, the grain is stored in cellars one by one, the cellars are covered with dry straw, and the straw and grain are stored alternately, so the advantage is to fully absorb water and keep the grain dry.

Everyone looked around, it was already two hours later, the sky was already very dark, and several Taicang guards began to patrol. The bearded man sent people to lie in ambush in the shadows, killed the guards one by one, and threw them aside. Immediately afterwards, he sent people to put on the clothes of the guards, and tricked the guards guarding outside the door to kill them one by one.

Taicang has completely become the world of everyone, the bearded man gave an order, and the people he brought immediately started to move the crockpots one by one from the cart.

"What's in there?" Fang Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Oil." The bearded man said briefly.

A group of people held the clay pot, uncovered the sealing mud, entered each cellar hole, and constantly sprinkled the fire oil inside, the cellar itself has dry straw, it is easy to ignite, after pouring the fire oil, the fire will be even greater, plus the grain cellar itself is very dry, the bearded man has the confidence to burn Taicang in one fell swoop.

Fang Yuyan looked at this scene and knew that at this point, he could only follow Datang, hoping that this decision was correct. In order to save time, he also lifted the clay pot and poured the fire oil on the grain, and a cart of fire oil was not enough to pour every grain cellar, so the fire oil was poured in important places, as well as the deeper places in the Taicang cellar.

After all the oil was poured out, the bearded man ordered the grain cellar to be lit again, and the fire burned rapidly, and after the group set fire to more than fifty grain cellars, they quickly retreated. At this time, the fire was still burning inside Taicang, and the firelight was hidden, and there was no clue from the outside.

"Okay, wait a little longer, I'll retreat according to the plan. Fang Yu, if Taicang is on fire, you will definitely be suspicious, so it is better to follow us. The bearded man said.

Fang Yu's official has this intention, firstly, his relatives are still in the hands of Wu Yueren, and secondly, he has not received a promise, how can he leave easily? He immediately nodded and agreed.

The group hid in the shadows, waiting for the fire to expand, and after half an hour, the fire from the depths of the grain cellar finally spread, the flames licked the wooden door beams and doorposts, and one of the top beams and pillars fell down violently, breaking a gap, and the flames suddenly rushed upward, and the fire became bigger.

The crackling sound became louder and louder, and the flames soared into the air, and the soldiers patrolling the night suddenly became bright, and they all looked towards the light.

"What's the fire?" Someone asked, because of the distance, they couldn't tell where the fire was.

Those who were close saw the clues, they shouted loudly, approaching the source of the fire, and when they got closer, some people changed their faces, because they clearly saw clearly, it was Taicang that caught fire! Taicang hoarded most of Hangzhou's grain, and Taicang caught fire, and everyone knew very well what that meant.

"Quick, go and tell the general!"

"You guys, come with me, go put out the fire!"

The soldiers said babblingly, the street sounded the sound of basic footsteps, at least twenty soldiers rushed towards Taicang, this section of the deep and long alley, the light was not very good, suddenly, someone screamed and fell, when he fell to the ground, he supported the ground with his hands, but felt that the ground was very slippery, making it difficult for him to get up.

"Ouch!" The wails kept ringing out, and more and more robes fell to the ground, and I don't know what was going on?

Just when they were puzzled, the ground suddenly brightened, and someone in front of them lit a torch, and some sharp-eyed soldiers found that this section of the road was covered with firewood, and there was also a very easy to burn straw, and the torch was thrown, and the straw was ignited, and it continued to spread.

"It's kerosene!" A Wu Yuebing said in horror.

"Run!" Another soldier said as the fire on the ground spread towards the crowd at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

"Run!" In an instant, this group of Wu Yue soldiers who were about to fall into the sea of fire became extremely frightened, they pulsated their legs, desperately trying to escape, but the ground was very slippery, the more they wanted to escape, the easier it was to fall, the fire engulfed several Wu Yue soldiers, ignited their clothes, the flames licked their bodies unceremoniously, and some people couldn't help screaming, the voice was very sad.

"Very well, set that side on fire again, and retreat immediately." The bearded man said.

"Whoa!" A few people replied, and soon set fire to several huts around Taicang, and the streets were also sprinkled with fire oil, and then hurriedly retreated.

The fire in Hangzhou City was very big, and it came very suddenly, so that Wu Yuebing was caught off guard, Hangzhou Mansion Yin got the news, and immediately led the government officials to rush to fight the fire, but it was impossible to start for a while, and the speed of lifting water could not extinguish the fire at all, forcing Hangzhou Mansion Yin to send someone to the soldiers in the barracks for help.

Wu Cheng, the secretary of the military department, was woken up in his sleep, and when he heard the fire in Taicang, his face suddenly changed, Taicang is of great significance, if it is burned, the soldiers in Hangzhou can only drink the northwest wind. Wu Cheng jumped up from the bed, hurriedly put on a piece of clothing, and hurried towards Taicang under the leadership of the soldiers.

The fire in Hangzhou could be seen even far away in Yuhang, the soldiers felt strange, and quickly reported the matter to Yang Lian, Yang Lian got the news, rushed to the city wall, stared at the sky-rushing fire, couldn't help applauding, and said: "So good, Hangzhou's grain is estimated to be burned out in this fire nine times out of ten." ”

Zhu Qi yawned and said, "This time, Qian Hongyu is in a hurry. ”

"There is a shortage of food in Hangzhou, for Qian Hongyu, one is to try to prepare food, and the other is to try to drive away us, otherwise the food will run out, the three armies will mutiny, and the people will be dissatisfied, and he, the king of Wuyue, will be unstable." Yang Lian said.

Zhu Qi nodded and said, "Yang Jiedu, in this way, our army should focus on defense?" ”

"Let's look at Qian Hongyu's actions first, in short, he is short of food, and his heart must be very anxious, once people are anxious, they will make mistakes, and they will have to wait for Qian Hongyu to make mistakes, and then wait for the opportunity to break it. Commanded by Zhu, during this period of time, scout patrols were strengthened, and once Qian Hongyu was transporting food, the cavalry team immediately attacked and burned Qian Hongyu's military rations. Yang Lian commanded.

"Whoa!" Zhu Qi responded, and the two looked at Hangzhou City in the distance, the war in Wu Yueguo finally had a new beginning, but this meant that the war was about to end.

In the city of Hangzhou, in the palace, Qian Hongli was lying on a soft couch, surrounded by Concubine Huang with smooth skin like mutton fat, these days, Qian Hongli was under a lot of pressure, and there was a little more sorrow between his eyebrows, although he had designed and tried to force Yang Lian back, but whether the plan could be successful was still one thing.

It seems that only by Concubine Huang's side can he be more relaxed, after a burst of passion, Qian Hongyu felt very sleepy and fell asleep, Concubine Huang stretched out her slender jade hand, stroked her husband's face, and her heart was full of pity.

At this time, Concubine Huang only hated that she was not a man, and she couldn't share her worries for Qian Hongyu. Although the husband fell asleep, his brows were still tightly wrinkled, Concubine Huang pursed her lips, gently lowered Qian Hongyu's head, and then withdrew her hand, and was about to cover the quilt for him, when suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came.

Concubine Huang frowned, at this time, who is so bold and walks so loudly?

There were two people, one was a palace maid, and the other was Zheng Guogong Wu Yanfu. The palace maid had a white face, obviously frightened, and when she saw Concubine Huang staring at her with beautiful eyes, she suddenly became at a loss, and said, "Princess, slave, and maid, ......."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Yanfu had already pushed the palace maid away and walked quickly to the edge of the soft couch, he was so anxious that he didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and said, "King, wake up." ”

Concubine Huang said: "Zheng Guogong, is there something so urgent?" ”

Wu Yanfu nodded and said, "It's just so urgent, Taicang suddenly caught fire." ”

Concubine Huang said "ah", obviously although she was a woman, she also knew where Taicang was, so she immediately covered her small mouth with her hand, looked surprised, and said, "How can this be?" ”

"It's not clear yet, but it has happened, and now Wu Cheng, the secretary of the military department, is leading the soldiers to put out the fire!" Wu Yanfu said simply.

Concubine Huang stretched out her hand and pushed Qian Hongyu, and was about to wake him up, but suddenly found that her husband had woken up, Qian Hongyu sat up without saying a word, his face was very ugly, he silently opened his hands, and Concubine Huang personally dressed him.

Qian Hongyu's heart was extremely complicated at this moment, he had heard Wu Yanfu's words just now, he couldn't figure it out, how could Taicang catch fire?

PS: I have to go to work tomorrow, so I wish you all a happy New Year, a prosperous Year of the Rooster, and a happy and healthy family.
