"Report ......, it's not good! The big granary is on fire! "Report ......, the West Garden of the Imperial Palace is on fire!" ……。 For a while, the alarm continued, Tian Feng, who was responsible for guarding Luoyang, was greatly surprised, and hurriedly assigned people to extinguish the fire everywhere, and then ordered the deputy staff Xin Ping to take a group of guards to the big granary to inspect, Tian Feng was going to go by himself, but Luoyang was in an eventful autumn, and he was the head of Luoyang as Yuan Shaojun's army, and it was inconvenient to leave the government office.

As soon as Xin Ping and his party left, a sergeant came to report: "My lord, the messenger of the lord has arrived!" ”

When Tian Feng heard this, he hurriedly went out of the hall to greet him. The two met in front of the hall, greeted each other, the messenger took out Yuan Shao's handwritten letter, handed it to Tian Feng with both hands, and then said: "The lord wants to tell your lordship: A few days ago, nearly a thousand enemy cavalry broke through the defense line of our army to the east, although the number is not large, but I am afraid that it will be a big disaster, Lord Tian Feng must be careful to defend the city, do not lose!" ”

Tian Feng frowned.

The messenger clenched his fists and said, "My lord, the letter has been delivered, the words have been brought, and I will go back to my life next!" ”

Tian Feng hurriedly said to an entourage beside him: "Serve someone for me." The attendant immediately sent the messenger and left.

Tian Feng opened the letter, read it, frowned, and said, "In this way, these people are responsible for these fires that broke out one after another today!" ”

Just as he was thinking, a bloodied officer stumbled in. Tian Feng couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw him like that, and a bad premonition faintly rose in his heart.

The officer rushed to Tian Feng and knelt down with a plop, "Oh no, my lord!" Lord Xin Ping and his party were suddenly attacked on the way to the big granary, and all the 30 or so people below Lord Xin Ping were killed, and only I escaped back! ”

Tian Feng was shocked, "What? Who did it? ”

The officer shook his head and said, "I don't know!" Those people were all dressed in civilian clothes, and they were all very brave! A dozen people killed more than thirty of us in the blink of an eye, which is terrible! ”

"Only a dozen people?"

The officer nodded.

Tian Feng thought quickly in his mind, and immediately ordered: "Order General Lu Xiang to immediately assign people to strengthen the garrison of the palace, granary, armory, Suzaku Street, government office, market, and city gate!" In case of emergency, you can make a decision on the spot, no need to ask! General Lu Xiang commanded 6,000 horse troops to sit in the barracks, watch the fireworks signals, and reinforce everywhere at any time! "No." The officer answered and ran down.

Tian Feng then called another official and ordered him to go to investigate the fire in the granary and the West Garden. Then he climbed to the attic of the government office and looked in the direction of the big granary, only to see the flames in the distance, there was no sign of abating, and it seemed that many people were fighting under the firelight! Tian Feng couldn't help frowning, he was so worried!

More than 1,000 foot riders hurried towards the big granary under the leadership of two partial generals. The people on the street fled to both sides, and the people were panicked and discussed.

"What the hell is going on?" A young vendor asked with a worried look on his face. The middle-aged man standing in front looked back, "I heard that someone attacked the big granary and set a fire!" The vendor looked incredulous, "Who is so bold?" The middle-aged man said in a tone of offering treasures: "I heard that it was Lu Bu's people who entered the city!" Kill people everywhere and set fires! The vendor said with a look of horror, "How can that be?" Wouldn't I be able to do this business? The middle-aged man mocked, "What are you worried about?" People won't be interested in you as a vendor! The ones they want to kill are all officials! The little vendor was relieved and grinned, "Being a little person also has the benefits of being a little person!" At least not to be remembered! ”

The two generals led a thousand foot cavalry to the big granary, only to see a mess, dozens of corpses lying on the ground, all of them were soldiers responsible for guarding the big granary, and the attackers were gone.

The two generals immediately divided the work, one led 500 cavalry to guard the outside of the granary, and the other led 500 infantry to rush into the fire to put out the fire. Although the fire is big at the moment, but it is not uncontrollable, the big granary has taken into account the problem of fire prevention and fire fighting at the beginning of the construction, the whole granary is divided into more than a dozen independent courtyards, the courtyards are separated by brick walls, and the living water is introduced into the large granary, and a large or small puddle is formed in each yard, which can be used to extinguish the fire nearby.

With the full rescue of more than 500 foot soldiers, the fire was gradually extinguished. According to later statistics, only one of the grain hoards in the entire large granary was completely burned, and the grain hoards in the other three courtyards were partially burned, and the loss was not too great!

More than a dozen sturdy men dressed in various costumes entered the Yuelai Inn on West Street in Luoyang City in several groups.

Zhang Lang sat down in the room, poured a cup of tea and took a sip, he looked like a rich boy who came to Luoyang to play, with a folding fan and a white Confucian shirt, but he also looked personable, completely different from his usual image, even if Yan Yuyao and the others saw him, they probably wouldn't know him. There were three people standing next to him, all dressed as merchants.

Bang, bang, bang, there was a knock at the door with a certain rhythm. A person beside Zhang Lang immediately stepped forward to open the door, and a young man in his twenties with a dark face, a strong physique, and dressed as a porter immediately flashed in, and the door closed.

"Big brother!" Young man hugging his fists. This title was confessed by Zhang Lang, after all, this is the enemy's territory, and any small negligence in details may lead to a big crisis.

Zhang Lang asked, "Has everyone withdrawn?" Are there any casualties? ”

"It's all taken down! There were no casualties! ”

Zhang Lang instructed: "Tell the brothers who are hiding everywhere, you must not act without my orders, and in case of emergency, do not fight, and retreat to crowded places!" "No." The young man clenched his fists and turned to leave.

At present, of the 800 tiger horsemen brought by Zhang Lang, only 300 are actually in the city, and the other 500 are hidden in the nearby mountains, one is to take care of the horses, and the other is responsible for receiving Zhang Lang and them. In order not to attract the attention of outsiders, the three hundred people in the city were all scattered and lived, either in inns, or in slums, or disguised as beggars and slept on the streets, and each group was a dozen or twenty people, and in order to facilitate communication, they all agreed on a code.

"Big brother, tomorrow the gentry in Luoyang will hold a peony flower party, and there will be high-ranking officials attending at that time, do we want to take the opportunity to take action?" An officer asked.

Zhang Lang pondered for a moment, touched his chin and said with an evil smile: "Let's give them an unforgettable memory!" ”

"Have you guys been suspicious lately?" Suddenly, there was a high-spirited voice downstairs.

Zhang Lang frowned, and the officer next to him immediately went to the door, pushed the door open a crack, and saw that the shopkeeper was coming upstairs with a dozen officers and soldiers, and the boss was still pointing this way.

The officer immediately closed the door, returned to Zhang Lang, and said with a fist: "Big brother, they have found us!" ”

"How many are there?"

"A dozen soldiers."

Zhang Lang stood up, picked up the long knife on the table, and said fiercely: "Kill with me!" ”
