The Chang'an city wall is ten zhang high and six feet thick, which can be regarded as the first easy to defend and difficult to attack in the world, but it cannot be separated from the spread of gossip between the offensive and defensive sides inside and outside the city wall.

There are black crows lurking in the Sword Gate in the rebel army, and these spies hidden in the shadows continue to send the inside story of the rebel army into Dali Temple.

Similarly, Shang Rang and other cadres under the command of Huang Chao are not idlers, and they inquired about the situation in Chang'an City clearly, and not extinguishing the fire is one of them.

The sources of the rebels were mainly some aristocratic lords in Chang'an City, who on the one hand hated Liu Yu's exploitation of them in the case of the Corpse Escape Pill, and on the other hand, they also hoped to win a guarantee for their families when the city was broken by currying favor with the rebels.

Other news was obtained by the spies sent by the rebels themselves, and most of these spies were martial arts people who came to help, and the news of not extinguishing the fire was inquired by them.

Due to Huang Ya and Old Master Liu's strict defense, these spies failed to get a specific formula for not extinguishing the fire, but they only heard that the power of not extinguishing the fire was amazing, and it could not be extinguished without burning.

After this incident reached the ears of the high-ranking members of the rebel army, it caused a great shock. Huang Chao personally ordered that the matter of not extinguishing the fire must not be spread in the barracks, only a few people in a small circle would know about it, and those who violated it would not be spared.

At night, the candles in the tent of the rebels were brightly lit. Huang Chao sat in the center of the big tent, and the energetic middle-aged man couldn't hide his anxiety in his eyes.

Shang Rang sat next to the desk at the bottom of the table, and two boys waited behind him, sometimes pouring him tea, sometimes beating his back.

He held his hands high, "I don't know why the king summoned his subordinates overnight?"

Huang Chao frowned, "Do you think it's true or false that doesn't put out the fire?"

Shang Rang pondered for a while, "This matter has not been verified, and the source of the news is not clear enough, so the king doesn't need to be too anxious!"

Huang Chao slapped the table, a teacup jumped up from the table, fell to the ground and shattered, and shouted angrily: "Verification? What is verification, if you wait for all the truth to confess, then it will be too late!"

The two boys were so frightened that they hurriedly rushed over, knelt on the ground to collect the porcelain pieces, and wiped the dark carpet with their sleeves.

Shang Rangqiang calmed down, "Our army has 600,000 horses, and there are only more than 200 people in Zhangjianmen, and we are at odds with Yan Lie, the defender of Chang'an City. Even if they really don't put out the fire, they can't help us. ”

Huang Chao sighed, "Hasn't General Shang read the history books, and he doesn't even know the allusion to the burning of Chibi." If this fire really burns, I am afraid that it will not be able to be defeated by man. Lonely hated that day to annoy Mr. Daozhi, let Mr. Daozhi seal himself, otherwise Mr. Daozhi personally took action, why should our army suffer in this snowy wilderness, it would have already invaded Chang'an City for a warm winter. ”

Shang Rang's cheeks were slightly red, "Military affairs are complicated, and it is not a person with strong martial arts who can change the situation against the sky." Even if Mr. Wang Daozhi is here, he will never rashly attack Chang'an City, and will definitely look for a suitable time. ”

"Timing, what's the right time!?" Huang Chao's eyes were bloodshot.

Shang Rang calmed down, "When the snow melts and the spring flowers bloom, it is the time for our army to attack the city on a large scale." Although we had a hard time this winter, and we could finally get money and food supplies by searching the surrounding states and counties, those people in Chang'an City were very different, they were trapped within the high walls, and the food was no longer enough. I'm afraid that if I can't wait for spring to come, I will make Liu Yu's rebellion, which will make Liu Yu difficult to parry. Liu Yu likes to oppose us, but does he dare to kill the people? If he really does that, he will definitely have a bad reputation, lose his credibility in the eyes of the world, and no longer be worthy of being our enemy. ”

Huang Chao's mood calmed down a little after hearing this, "We can't all count on the enemy's own defeat, we must take the initiative to attack." From your point of view, if our army doesn't extinguish the fire against the Sword Leader, what chance should it have?"

Shang Rang said: "According to the intelligence of our spies, the place where the Zhangjian Gate superintendent does not extinguish the fire is in the private housing area in the north of Chang'an City, with no more than dozens of houses in a radius, and the place is extremely narrow. The other side is heavily guarded, and his subordinates have already ordered that our people do not have to get close to find out their secret recipes, so as not to do useless work, and only watch from a distance, counting the number of materials delivered to these houses every day. ”

He took out a roll of silk paper from his sleeve, handed it to the boy beside him, and handed it to Huang Chao, "This records the number of carts that have transported materials in and out of those dozens of houses in the past half a month, a total of only eight. Judging from the total amount of materials, the number of non-extinguishing fires created by the Sword Sect should be extremely limited, even if the power is huge, it cannot pose a fatal threat to our army. ”

Huang Chao unfolded the silk paper in his hand, his eyes locked on the paper, and his face spread slightly, "What General Shang said is reasonable, as long as our army scatters the formation when attacking Chang'an City in the future, and at the same time tries to store all kinds of combustible materials in the camp, the fire attack plan of Zhangjianmen will not succeed." ”

Shang Rang said: "I don't know how the three plans of the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall are progressing now, and when the time comes, we can also let the Sword Sect taste the taste of fire attack?"

Huang Chao stroked his beard and smiled: "You don't have to worry about this matter, Gu has already prepared." ”

He raised his hands and clapped his hands, and the sergeant guarding the door of the tent immediately ran to give orders.

It didn't take long for a group of martial arts people to stride into the account with their heads held high. Although Shang Rang was the chief general of the Righteous Army, he did not dare to show the slightest disrespect to these martial artists, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

The leader of these martial arts people is a young man with a fan, with eagle eyes and a high nose, this person is the young master of the Yuan family who has great prestige among martial arts people because of his teaching of secrets.

The hero Xiao Canglan clenched the hilt of the sword with his left hand, followed closely behind the young master of the Yuan family, and hid his disabled right hand in the sleeve of his robe and refused to show any of it.

Behind him, followed by Jin Yi, the head of the Lingnan Sword Sect, Yun He and Yuhe Zhenren of the Kongtong Sect, all three of whom are now the young masters of the Yuan Clan.

Su Qing, the hall master of the Jiangnan Perak Hall, insisted on moving forward side by side with the young master of the Yuan family, refusing to lag behind in the slightest. Several elite Thunderbolt Hall guards were beside him, looking around with extremely vigilant eyes.

Su Qing was originally the most prestigious person among the many martial arts people, except for the Shaolin abbot Fa Yan, but the sudden appearance of the young master of the Yuan clan was tantamount to disrupting his plan and taking away many people who were originally attached to him.

He couldn't give away his treasured martial arts secrets as generously as the young master of the Yuan clan, and all he relied on was the firearms and gunpowder of the Thunderbolt Hall.

The reason why he was full of confidence today was that he knew that compared to the martial arts of the young master of the Yuan family, the Yellow King valued the three plans of the thunderbolt hall more. Compared with the martial arts of the young master of the Yuan clan and others, the firearms of the Perak Hall are amazingly powerful, and they are the first magic weapon to win on the battlefield.

As long as Su Qing can make the first contribution to Huang Chao's breakthrough of Chang'an, after Huang Chao ascends to the throne, he will definitely vigorously support Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall. If he takes advantage of the situation to recruit martial arts wizards from all over the world under his command, Thunderbolt Hall can take the opportunity to grow and become the first existence in the martial arts to surpass Shaolin.

When the time comes, no matter whether it is the Shuzhong Mi Douhui or the Sword Sect with only two hundred people, they will not be able to enter his eyes. As the head of the first sect in the world, he will be flattered by people sitting at home, and all kinds of martial arts cheats will be sent in a steady stream, why should he not have a good life? At that time, he will definitely get rid of those martial arts people who betray him!
