Chapter 989: Chaos

The huge city of Luoyang is in a state of panic, the subjects at the feet of this son of heaven have never seen war, for the war, only exists in the messenger who has been Pegasus into Beijing carried on the back of the letter, as well as the imperial court Ming sent the newspaper, let them know that there is a victory, there is a loss, there are many people killed there, and how many enemy troops have been annihilated, they never thought that Luoyang will one day be under the army.

Luoyang is the capital of Dachu for hundreds of years, although it has never experienced a war, but the work that should be done has not been pulled down, for example, the reserve of grain, in Luoyang City, there are more than a dozen large granaries, these granaries will be inspected once a year, in order to ensure that the grain in the warehouse is full, how much old grain goes out, how much new grain to be added, rough estimates, there are tens of millions of stones in the storage of grain in these more than ten large granaries.

Therefore, although Luoyang is besieged, it is not short of food. If you count the grain collected by those grain merchants in Luoyang, even if Dingzhou besieges the city, relying on Luoyang's abundant grain reserves and the strong distribution system during the war, Luoyang can be on top for a year or two.

But the problem is that the people of Luoyang are not clear, they are not like a border city like Dingzhou, the common people regard the war as a common thing, and there are grain reserves at home, the vast majority of the people in Luoyang are eating as much as they buy, and they rarely have the habit of storing grain at home.

Luoyang broke out of the rush to buy grain, the price of grain in one day, it increased nearly tenfold, the higher the price of grain, the more people will grab grain, no one knows, by tomorrow, can they afford to buy grain, even, is there any grain to sell?

Although the tide of grain grabbing that spread throughout the city quickly attracted the attention of the Luoyang authorities, and a number of measures were taken to curb it, it was to no avail, and in the end the army came forward and forcibly dispersed and captured a large number of people, so that it could be quelled, but the seeds of panic had already been planted, and the secret agents of the Dingzhou Supervision Yuan hidden in Luoyang City also took the opportunity to carry out large-scale activities and spread rumors, and the people of the entire Luoyang City were panicked and the wind and rain were blowing.

The people of Luoyang, the officials, and the army were all in a state of fear, and a large army of Dingzhou had already arrived in the suburbs of Luoyang, dozens of miles, and could launch an attack at any time.

In Luoyang City, where this negative mood is shrouded, there is an official of no low rank who is happy in his heart, he is the highest spy officer of the Dingzhou Supervision Institute hidden in the Luoyang court, Xie Ke, who now lives in the position of a waiter in the Luoyang Ministry of Industry.

Lying on the rocking chair, crossing Erlang's legs, drinking chilled sour plum soup, humming a small tune, Xie Ke's interest is extremely high, eight years, he has been in Luoyang for eight years, from being sent to Luoyang by Dean Qingfeng, it has been a full eight years, from a small sesame official to the position of the fourth grade, sometimes Xie Ke himself thinks it is ridiculous, in the past eight years, countless information has flowed to Dingzhou through his own hands, but he is still on the top of the assessment in the Luoyang Ministry of Officials every year.

But all this is finally coming to an end, although the Luoyang official is getting bigger and bigger, but in the past eight years, he has not really slept a good night's sleep, often wakes up in the middle of the night by nightmares, dreaming that he was broken into the door by the staff of the department, dragged to the gloomy dungeon to be tortured, Xie Ke himself has done this, knowing that as long as you enter that door, even if you are iron teeth and steel teeth, you can also train you to be finger twisted, but this life is about to end. When the lord conquers Luoyang, he can return to his hometown in Dingzhou, and at that time, he must sleep well for a few days behind closed doors.

The copper ring on the door was snapped, Xie Keyi sat up, and in the door duty room, Ximenqing walked over, looked outside through the small window on the door, and showed a look of surprise in his eyes, and opened the door with a bang.

The person outside walked in in a flash, and looking at the outfit, it was an errand officer in the Luoyang Patrol Division. Ximenqing closed the door, jumped with a tiger, and hugged the errand into his arms, "Boss, you're finally back!" ”

The person who came was Hu Dong, who left Luoyang after the exposure, reached out and pulled down the hat on his head, patted Ximenqing's shoulder, looked at Xie Ke, and said with a smile: "I'm back, what's the matter, aren't you welcome?" ”

Xie Ke jumped up, "God, how did you get in, this Luoyang is under martial law in the whole city?" ”

Hu Dong walked over with a big laugh and hugged Xie Ke tightly with open arms, "Luoyang City is such a big city, there is no loophole there, and underworld forces like me, who have been mixed in Luoyang for many years, naturally know where to come in." It's just a trifle! ”

"Welcome back to Luoyang!" Xie Ke took a step back, "You're back, does it mean that we have a big job to do again?" ”

"Of course!" Hu Dong grinned, "Let's go, talk in the house!" ”

A few returned to the room, and Xie Ke asked, "How many people have infiltrated with you this time?" ”

"Not many, more than two dozen, but all of them are good at sabotage. Selected from the Investigations Division. What about you here? Have you made any name for yourself in the past two years? ”

"I'm mainly developing some low-level officials, they can engage in intelligence, but let them engage in sabotage, they will have more than enough heart and not enough power!" Xie Ke said with a smile: "The action has always been presided over by Ximenqing, and he knows better. ”

Touching the scar on his face, Ximenqing grinned and said with a smile: "Last time, we were seriously injured, and the people in the gang were caught and killed, but then I contacted a group of old brothers, in the past two years, we have been moving around, and many people have joined in, and now, I can get my hands on it, and there are more than 100 people who are more capable of doing things!" ”

"Enough!" Hu Dong waved his hand, "People are not expensive, Ximen, you pick dozens of particularly capable ones and act with us, and the rest will not move for the time being." ”

"What for?" Xie Kedao.

Hu Dong smiled, "This has to be helped by you, the squire of the Ministry of Works!" Our main goal this time is the warehouse storage in Luoyang, kill their granary, I want the detailed location map of these places and the structure inside, these warehouses are built by your Ministry of Industry, you also have to check every year, there should be drawings of these places! ”

"There's no problem with this!" Xie Ke said: "It's just that there are more than a dozen big warehouses in Luoyang, how many can you do at the same time with your manpower?" You know, you only have one chance to do it, and they won't let you have a second chance. ”

"I have only one goal, and that is the largest Luoyang warehouse!" Hu Dong touched his beard and said: "This warehouse has millions of stone of grain stored, killing him will not only make the enemy hungry for food, but the most important thing is to cause panic in Luoyang." ”

Xie Dong nodded, "Do you want me to do this?" ”

"Of course not!" Hu Dongdao: "The dean asked me to tell you, try your best to get the city defense map of Luoyang, and one more thing, last year, the construction method of our Shenwei cannon was stolen by Yuan Fang, you want to explore it, see if they have copied it, if it is imitated, how much is made, range and power, etc., you had better make an assessment." ”

"I see, I'll do my best!" Xie Kedao.

"You can't just do your best." Hu Dongdao: "Lao Xie, the dean has spoken, you have to do it, don't forget, you were really annoyed by the dean last time, this is a good opportunity to atone for your sins, in fact, the dean values you very much, I bet that you have done a good job this time, and when you return to Dingzhou in the future, the position of the vice president of the Supervision Yuan will not be able to run away from you, which is much more energetic than your position as a waiter in the Ministry of Bird Industry." ”

Xie Ke smiled indifferently and was noncommittal.

"After doing these things, we will calm down first, and then do our best to rebel against the officers in Luoyang, mainly those who are not in high positions, but in important positions of middle and lower-level officials, now Luoyang's hearts are fluctuating, I believe that there are many officers who will no longer die for Luoyang, as long as there is an opportunity to grasp a life-saving straw, some of them will not let go." Rebelling against them can allow them to play an important role at some important moment in the future siege. ”

"This is very important, Luoyang City is tall and strong, if you fight hard, I'm afraid you really can't take it for a while." Xie Kedao.

"Not necessarily, don't you know, how many Shenwei cannons do we have now? When the time comes, hundreds of cannons will be lined up, rumbling and bombing him for a few days, to see if this city wall will collapse, we do these things just to minimize the casualties of the soldiers, to tell you that the lord will soon come to Luoyang in person, command the battle, and as soon as the lord arrives, the war will begin. ”

"When will the lord arrive?"

"September, so, we still have a month to go!" Hu Dongdao. "It's not easy to get all these things done in a month."

"I understand, you prepare the things you want first, and within ten days, I will bring you what you want."

Ten days later, Master Xie Ke, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, led a team to inspect the major warehouses in Luoyang, and no one noticed that when Lord Xie left the Luoyang warehouse with satisfaction after the inspection, there were already two people missing from the large number of people he was with.

At the time of the third watch, two ghostly figures appeared in Luoyang Cang, after looking around, the two sneaked to a side door, the four soldiers guarding the door leaned against the wall and fell asleep, the black dagger in the hands of the two people waved, easily killed the four guards, the body was dragged to the shadows, and then gently opened the inconspicuous side door, and the people who had been waiting outside the door rushed in one by one.

"Everyone, be careful, the thing in your hand is a new thing that the Supervision Institute has just made, called fierce fire oil, once ignited, the water will not stop, the wind will not be extinguished, if you accidentally get it on yourself, you know the consequences, pour the fierce fire oil into the warehouse, ignite it, and then run away, if you can run out alive, go to the meeting place and wait for others, if you can't run, then cut it off yourself, so as not to fall into the hands of the other party and suffer the endless suffering, do you understand?"

"Got it!"

"Do it!"
