Little by little, time passed.

According to the time, the message should have entered the city.

Although the gate of Haozhou City was closed tightly at this time, the previous message could be transmitted, and there was naturally a way to pass it in.

Qi Heng believes that with Zheng Guangzu's character, he will never miss the opportunity.

Just when Qi Heng's patience gradually wore off, he began to sit on the stone and wait.

Rumble!

An explosion rang out.

In the silence of the night, the sound of the explosion was loud.

Qi Heng stood up in shock, and from a distance, an obvious fire ignited in the west of Haozhou City.

Qi Heng, who is familiar with the topography of Haozhou City, knows very well that it is an important place for the righteous army of Haozhou City to store grain.

Seeing this scene, Qi Heng's whole mood relaxed a lot.

This explosion and fire may be just a loss for the enemy to others, but in Qi Heng's eyes, it is the death knell of the righteous army in Haozhou City.

It's winter, and everything is dying.

In a short period of time, it is absolutely impossible for the Haozhou City Rebels to find so much food for winter!

Without food, this Haozhou city is a dead city in his eyes.

As long as they are prepared for their dogs jumping over the wall and attacking Huanggang in a hurry, then what awaits them is chronic death.

The guards who came with Qi Heng on the side were still looking at the explosion in Haozhou City in surprise, but Qi Heng said lightly: "Let's go back." ”

After speaking, the group rode towards Huanggang City.

Inside the city of Haozhou.

Zhang Tianyou, who was sleeping soundly, was dreaming.

Although everything has not gone well in Haozhou City recently, and even the marshal Guo Tianxu was robbed in the middle of the night, for Zhang Tianyou personally, he experienced for the first time the feeling of being the leader of the righteous army and the entire Haozhou City under his control.

He no longer has to take into account anyone's opinion in what he does.

Follow one's heart.

However, this loud explosion pulled him back from his dream to reality.

Frightened, like countless people in Haozhou City who were awakened, the first thing he said was: "What's going on, what's going on?!" ”

Listening to Zhang Tianyou's shouts in the house, the guards outside the door immediately pushed open the door and walked in, and said with a panicked expression: "Dashuai, it seems that something happened to the granary in the west of the city!" ”

When Zhang Tianyou heard the word granary, the whole person was instantly shocked.

One got up, rolled out of bed, dressed as fast as he could, and hurried with the soldiers towards the exploding granary.

But before they could reach the granary, they saw from a distance that the granary used to store the rations of the rebels was blazing.

Fire and smoke scattered.

Before he could run to the granary, Zhang Tianyou immediately said to the guards beside him: "Quick, go find someone and put out the fire!" ”

When the guard heard this, he immediately said, "Yes! ”

Then he turned around and went to gather the soldiers.

By the time Zhang Tianyou walked into the granary, there were already more than a dozen soldiers fighting the fire.

However, such a big fire, which burns food, can be extinguished so easily.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Zhang Tianyou's heart was completely cold.

The grain here is the food they use to survive the winter.

If the food is burned, it means that if there is no other food, they will all starve to death!

Although the people in the city still have food at home, they have been forcibly taxed by Guo Tianxu earlier, and there is not much oil and water.

Moreover, the number of ordinary people and military soldiers in Haozhou City is almost 1:1, and in this case, unless the food in the people's homes is robbed, it will never be enough for the consumption of the army.

But what is the difference between this situation and suicide?

Zhang Tianyou looked at the food that was being burned, gritted his teeth and said, "Qi Heng! ”

Twice in a row.

Originally, they were on the completely superior side, and they could destroy the opponent's situation with just one fight, but they were cut off by the opponent's continuous sneak attacks!

If it is said that Guo Tianxu was robbed before, it can be said that it is for self-protection.

And now this fire burns down the granary, which completely kills them.

Although Zhang Tianyou's teeth itched, there was nothing he could do.

He knew very well that after Chen Guang led 5,000 soldiers and horses to join Huanggang City, although there was still a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the other side already had the ability to fight head-on.

After all, Qi Heng would not lead his army out to fight them in the field.

If before tonight, as long as they ignored the captured Guo Tianxu, there was still the possibility of fighting against the water, but now it is completely gone.

There is no food, there is no military ration.

How to fight.

Do you want to loot the people's food in the city while fighting Huanggang City on the front?

Thinking of these, Zhang Tianyou has two big heads.

Now he has more than 30,000 troops under his command, but it has become a dead chess.

But let him just give up, he couldn't bear this breath.

This great Haozhou City, with 35,000 troops under his command, and the overlord of the entire Huaixi region, is just handed over?

Just when Zhang Tianyou was anxious about the future after that, Zheng Guangzu had quietly withdrawn from Haozhou City with a team of people.

He knew very well that Zhang Tianyou at this time must have reached the brink of an outbreak.

If you really have the iron heart to find them in the city, there are still traces to follow.

Now that the big thing is over, the effect of staying here is not too great. Besides, there are still guards in the city that he left behind, so it doesn't matter if he's here or not.

The most important thing is that the last time he went out of the city with Chen Guang, his appearance had already been seen by some people, and it was too dangerous to stay.

Therefore, instead of staying, it is better to return to Huanggang City to continue to develop his secret guard.

According to Qi Heng's words, Zheng Guangzu has the power to recruit secret guards on his own.

And by any means.

All the goods consumed in it were rationed by the balance.

At the end of this mission, Haozhou City is basically in the bag according to Qi Heng's plan, and the difference is only a matter of time.

And next, he has to carry out the development of the surrounding secret guards.

Even inside the army and Huanggang.

Usually silent, perform superficial work, and if you find someone rebelling against the water, you can play a key role.

After all, in Qi Heng's opinion, he never thought that he had any charm in him that could make people loyal forever.

It is absolutely possible that there are people around you who are anti-water.

Of course, including Zhu Yuanzhang.

Even this figure, who is destined to become a generation of heroes in the future, can hardly guarantee that there are no traitors around him.

However, in terms of the proportion of people, it is still necessary to pay more attention to the outside world.

At this time, Zheng Guangzu, who had just left Haozhou City and returned to Huanggang City, had completely changed his temperament.

The appearance of the clever slippery head in front of Qi Heng earlier has changed dramatically with the recent successive mission experiences.

Especially after Qi Heng gave him unprecedented power, the temperament of the leader was gradually condensed.
