"Let's go out of the city now, set fire to all the grain and grass outside the city, and then go back to Beijing, the thief army has no grain and grass, and it will definitely collapse without a fight, and everyone will have a great success at that time!" You take these silver coins first, and when the matter is completed, the official will give you the other half, and the official has already sent the money back to the capital! Chief Pan turned the subject.

Hearing this, the dozens of people who were called by Chief Pan suddenly cheered up, it was easy to set fire, everyone had followed the grain tuns and granaries outside, and the warehouses surrounded by plants and trees were full of seeds and the like, and a little spark could be ignited, and when the fire spread, even if it was done, a few hundred taels of silver would be in hand after the addition of the event in front of him.

There's nothing to be afraid of, the thief army said it was coming soon, but it hadn't arrived yet, and it must have been caught off guard when it went out of the city to set fire, and it was too late for the fire to ignite!

The room was a little quiet, and then everyone shouted, while stepping forward to get the silver, while shouting in their mouths, "I wish to follow the lord to be born and die, and serve the court" "The master's clever plan, after returning to Beijing, he will definitely be rich!" ”

It didn't take long for Director Pan and his subordinates to be ready to stop, some people rode horses, some people drove cars, everyone was carrying a heavy burden, but their faces were excited, just went out of the city all the way, and the officials of Linqing Prefecture didn't bother to pay attention to it, let alone the courteous flattery at the beginning, but the passers-by looked at the excitement, and they were quite contemptuous of this line, which was not only the benefit of big bags and small bags, but the girls in the courtyard were all put on the sedan chair and taken away, this time it was really not in vain.

After leaving the city, it was directly to the dock, and it was also the norm to go back to the city to take the official ship, of course, those granaries and granaries were also here, and the fine soft and the carriages and horses were parked upwind, and a group of people were hurriedly ready to ignite the fire, and it didn't take long for everyone to have a torch in their hands, and the chief Pan stood on the carriage like a commander, and shouted majestically, and everyone immediately dispersed with torches, and ran in the direction of the granary and grain.

Since the news of the Xuzhou army gathering in Jining came, the docks of the Linqingzhou Canal have become extremely deserted, those who can go are scattered, the military disaster is coming, the fool will not go, since it is deserted, naturally no one pays attention to the gang of arsonists of Chief Pan, even if they see it, they are far away, and those guards are all carrying knives!

The more people with torches walked inside, the more excited they became, and they couldn't help but speed up their pace when they thought about how much food could be lit and what a magnificent fire would be.

"What the hell!" Suddenly there was an angry shout, and the person with the torch was stunned, but he saw that there was someone guarding the granary not far away, and he was actually holding a weapon in his hand.

Doing such a hurtful deed, after all, it is a weak heart, it is okay when it is cold, once it is shouted through, it is immediately a little panicked, but immediately someone shouted and cheered and said: "The master said, after we all do it, we are all great achievements, and those who don't let the fire are anti-thieves!" ”

Heroes, thieves, these two names were smashed out, and everyone's spirit was raised again, this is a righteous name, they only moved a few steps here, but the intention has been discovered by the guards, and they immediately shouted: "Come on!" Someone is going to set fire! ”

After this shout, there were people coming out of the various roads and houses in the granary area, although it was not too many, but there were more than 100 people, and the guards were unequivocal, and shouted out the details of this side as soon as they looked at it: "It's the person in charge of Pan, everyone, don't let them set fire!" ”

The person who led the team on the side of Chief Pan also saw the identity of the other party, but there were a few familiar faces, it turned out to be the hao slave of Inspector Li's family, and when he first came, he deliberately came to greet him with a gift, no wonder they all said that Inspector Li had a close relationship with the thieves in Xuzhou, and there was really collusion, otherwise how could he send someone to guard here.

The arson was already weak-hearted, and those servant attachés and the like were even more panicked, seeing that the other party was chasing after him with knives and guns, how could he still be arrogant and calm, throw the torch in his hand to the front, turn his head and run, those guards have weapons in their hands, but the people here are all weapons such as Pu Dao and spear, and even two bows can be seen, which can't be beaten.

The escorts who escorted the Beijing officials to the field on errands were not elite, they were nothing more than arranging some old and weak people who had a way to go out and mix some good food and drink together.

Pan Hejian, the head of the household department, naturally refused to take the risk himself, but just commanded Ruoding in the cart, and waited for the raging fire to ignite to see if he could change his wealth for his family this time, but he didn't even see the smoke rise, and it didn't take long to see his subordinates running out with the leader, and the next moment he saw the people chasing after him viciously.

Seeing this scene, Pan Hejian drew his sword, gritted his teeth and wanted to go down to fight, but he hesitated for a long time and still didn't move, and finally just shouted to the coachman and groom: "Go quickly, go and wait for them in the distance!" ”

The people who chased them out from the warehouse dock did not chase after them, but more and more people ran out of the area of the granary and the granary, and it didn't take long for more than 300 people, but these people were not all brave warriors, and they could also see some ordinary people with cowering expressions, Li Yuliang and the two martial artists were wearing light armor, holding Pu knives and spears, and walked out quickly.

"Thanks to the preparation here, if the granary burns down, it will be a big disaster!" Li Yuliang muttered a few words with fear.

The martial artist behind him did not relax, but said in a deep voice: "Li Gongzi, if you want to do something in the city, I'm afraid that we hundreds of people can't stop it, there are only more than a hundred people who can hold a knife, and the rest are all made up." ”

Hearing this, Li Yuliang glanced back, he had practiced martial arts and seen the battle array, so he naturally knew the quality of these hundreds of people, the Li family's own thugs and servants had been rampant and domineering in Linqing City for many years, but these people were okay, if they really wanted to fight and see blood, I am afraid they would not be used, as for Ding Zhuang, who came from his own industry and Yunshan Xing in the city, I am afraid that he would not even fight, and what really worked was the soldiers of the inspection division who were fed with silver by his father Li Patrol Inspection, as well as the local "guards" of Yunshan and more than a dozen warriors who came to the door inexplicably but were considered reliable.

There are still hundreds of officials and soldiers in the city, if the gentry of the government really want to exert their strength, thousands of township warriors can also make up for it, this time it is this Pan who is in charge of setting fire, if the government in the city wants to do something, it really can't be stopped.

"Brother Lei Cai should be able to arrange it properly, this official in Qingzhou knows how powerful Xuzhou is, and he doesn't dare to act rashly, if he lasts for another day, how can those granges make up a thousand Ding Zhuang, and when they come, they can hold out until the Xuzhou army comes!" Li Yuliang pretended to be calm and said.

After saying this, Li Yuliang turned around and waved his hand and said: "Everyone is gone, when something happens, you will shout at the top of your throat, people are coming soon, the reward will be doubled in the past few days, and you can eat the bread and stew as you like!" ”

After he finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers below, and the group of people guarding the warehouse began to return to their respective places, and as soon as the people dispersed, the relaxation on Li Yuliang's face also dissipated, and he became worried, and said in a deep voice: "All of us who can ride horses gather, listen to the shouting and rush over, don't be taken advantage of the loopholes and set on fire!" ”

At this time, he heard the sound of horses' hooves sounding rapidly, Li Yuliang and the martial arts sect leader around him were subconsciously startled, and then tightened their weapons, only to see a person riding a horse to the front, after seeing the person, Li Yuliang and the others were a little relaxed, but this person was full of panic, and shouted screamed without waiting to get off the horse: "Brigade...... A large group of cavalry came from the north, and it must have been an officer army! ”

Before the words fell, Li Yuliang and several people around him were face changes, it must be the official army coming from the north, a few months ago, the Daimyo General Yang Zhaoji and Shandong General Yang Guodong led the remnants of the cavalry to retreat to Hejian Mansion, after Wei Zhongxian was recalled, they were ordered to guard in Hejian Mansion, and they have always been regarded as eunuch minions, and they are not very valued.

But no matter what, they are also nearly 3,000 cavalry, this number of elite officers and soldiers pressed over, Li Yuliang and these rabble are impossible to stop, Li Yuliang and several people around him are looking over, just quiet for a while, Li Yuliang muttered a few words of scolding, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Tell me to go down, go to Zhuangzi to inform my father, let him prepare to go towards Yanzhou Mansion, let's prepare to set fire, not a grain of grain can be left for the officers and soldiers!" ”

Since the Zhao family army can't occupy this granary, then resolutely can't let the official army occupy it, Li Yuliang quickly made a decision, but he was very frustrated, analyzing the current situation, the official army is likely to be unable to hold Linqing, these thousands of officers and cavalry will burn these grains and then withdraw to Beizhili, the result is almost the same, but it makes people depressed.

"Go quickly, let everyone prepare, or it'll be too late!" Li Yuliang shouted and urged, but at this moment, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, which made everyone's face even more ugly, could it be that the official cavalry had arrived, you must know that this was outside the city, and if the official cavalry drove straight in, there was indeed nothing to stop it.

But everyone quickly calmed down, it was the sound of a horse's hooves, which everyone could still deal with, and there was no warning to stop them, presumably their own people.

Immediately, he saw a horse approaching, this person was different from the previous person, his face was full of excitement, and he waved his hand and shouted immediately from afar: "Young master, the Xuzhou army is coming, the Xuzhou army is coming!" ”

Everyone was stunned again, the scene was a little quiet, and then they all cheered, this mood was really up and down, the front thought that it was on the verge of despair, and the rescue soldiers had already arrived, since it came so quickly, what are you worried about, the overall situation is almost decided.

However, Li Yuliang's mind was more detailed than others, and he called the people who reported the news on both sides to ask, and he could soon confirm one thing, the official cavalry must arrive later than the horse team in Xuzhou, which made everyone's worries even more dissipated.
