Five hundred and seventieth chapters Xiongdu (thirteen)

The moon is hazy and the figures are shaking.

Chang'an City, which has lost the people, is like a giant who has lost his blood. Although his body is still tall and burly from the outside, he has actually lost the vitality of pride and has withered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The only tens of thousands of eagle-striking soldiers were far from enough to cover the entire city. Moreover, these soldiers either guarded the city walls or stationed in the offices, palace gates and other key areas, and the streets and alleys became uninhabited. The city that should have been noisy and noisy suddenly became silent. Apart from the golden drums, it was gloomy and terrifying during the day, and at night it was even more like a ghost creature that made people feel creepy.

Although according to the requirements of Yinshi Master, there are lamps and torches at all intersections of alleys and roads, the sparse lights are like the moon covered by dark clouds in the air, which cannot bring fireworks to this city and will not help to boost courage. The gusts of cold wind blow, and the flames shake violently, pulling and deforming the sudden appearance of the figure, which makes it even more weird.

At this time, the Yingyang soldiers who were operating in the city were naturally the Yingyang soldiers who stayed here. A team of fully armed soldiers walked carefully through the yard and walked from one room to another. The houses in this area were originally all merchants in the city. Although the shape was not as grand as the officials, the carved beams and painted buildings in the courtyard were extremely luxurious and far beyond imagination. The original owners of these houses spent their time decorating their residences and naturally wanted to live in the capital for a long time and enjoy peace, but they could not have imagined that after the Emperor of Daye ascended the throne, everything changed, and their houses, money and even their lives would be forcibly taken away by an order.

The military boots alarmed the stole the wild rats, and as the rats fled in all directions, there were a few more lights in the dark room. The lights shone out the figures of several military men holding swords and spears. Their faces were particularly hideous under the dim lights, looking like those clay-shaped ghosts in the temple.

Several people looked around the room. The vermilion wooden box at the head of the bed was wide open. Several pearls produced from the toe shone brightly under the lights and shone with great striking. Below the pearls were made of brocade, which showed that they were of great value at first glance.

Although Jingzhao Yingyang's life is better than the border robes, it is still the military and military man who have no spare wealth. He has never seen such treasures in his life. The wealth stored in the small wooden box is a huge amount of money that these military man can't accumulate in his entire life. Now there is no one at midnight, and if he gets some ideas at will when he enters the house, he will not know. However, thinking about the hideous death of the owner's family in the courtyard and what he has done in the past few days, these Yingyang soldiers have lost the intention to make money.

Although there was no one around, the military man still did not dare to speak with his throat out of the habit he had developed for many years. He lowered his voice and asked his own hot boss: "Wang Da, is this a bit too much for us to do today..."

"What's so?" Huo Chang turned his head and glanced at the subordinate: "You have done so many things in the past few days. At this time, you still have the face to pretend to be a Bodhisattva with me? The soldiers follow the general and the grass follows the wind. When the general gives the order, he has to follow the order. What should he do? "

"I also know that military orders are like mountains, and no one dares to say anything. But today's order is not to kill people or drive people out of the city. The general is going to destroy the entire city. If we really do it, we will have no place to run away. Even if we can escape from the city, I am afraid that the Li family will not let us go."

"Run? Where else do you run? Dig up the Li family's ancestral grave, and you will die wherever you run." Huo Chang's face was as gloomy as iron, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife, which made his subordinates feel embarrassed. "Who is the Li family? The leader of the famous family in the north! They are all friends from heaven, and in their eyes, we are just ants, and they don't take it seriously if they kill 100,000 or 80,000. No matter who digs the grave, whoever takes action, it is Chang'an soldiers who dig the Li family's grave, and all the soldiers in the city are enemies of the Li family. When the city is broken, we will die. This time, either the fish dies or the net is broken. Even if they die, they have to take them on their backs and they cannot lose their lives in vain!"

The subordinate was speechless. Huo Chang patted his shoulder and looked at the vermilion wooden box and sneered: "I know you don't want to die, but I am the same. Who doesn't want to go when there is a way to live? But whoever asked us to have such a general blocked the road, and this one left. No matter how much wealth there is here, there is no use in the underworld, and it's useless to see. Work quickly and you can sleep peacefully after finishing it. Now you can eat more and sleep for one night. Don't be too slow!"

This group of soldiers was speechless by their own military generals, and the trace of luck in their hearts disappeared. As a fighter, the Han government should not have too many things to do. Apart from following orders and leaving the will of fate, he is now dead, so he doesn't have to think too much. According to the instructions of his own military generals, he puts small jars in the room at an important position.

At this time, Chang'an City was like a hundred ghosts walking at night, and countless fully armed soldiers appeared in the alleys. Like this fire soldier, they carried several small jars with them, and these jars were placed in the unowned rooms by them. In addition to the residences and palaces of officials who stayed in Chang'an, most of the houses in the city had a few such small jars. In addition, the roofs of many houses were also thrown away by soldiers. The neatly tied straws were extremely dry, and as long as a spark, they could burn quickly.

In the past, in order to prevent fire, Chang'an City had extremely strict control over firewood and grass. There were also large tanks containing clear water in the yard. Once the fire was discovered, it could be put out immediately. An important task of the Yingyang soldiers guarding the city was to support the people to put out the fire. However, tonight, these Yingyang soldiers who were responsible for setting fires started to set fires. All the water tanks were deliberately destroyed, and firewood and cups were piled up in important places. Under their control, the entire Chang'an had become a huge brazier. As soon as the time came, the flames would ignite and turn the city into white ground.

At this time, there was not only fire, but also blood. The blood came from Yuwen Lie, the general of the Left Cavalry Guard. Although this founding minister of the Great Sui Dynasty was like fire and was not favored by his colleagues, he was an old minister in the court after all. However, tonight, the Shura slaughterhouse was already a Shura slaughterhouse. The Yuwen family's men, women, and young were arrested. Without waiting for the orders in the palace, they were killed by the officers and soldiers in the mansion. Yuwen Lie crawled on the ground, his old eyes were angrily staring at the tip of Yinshi Master's boots, and said intermittently: "You... kill ministers... is... is... is... is..."

"Planning for rebellion!" Yin Shishi said the last two words for Yuwen Lie, with a slightly raised corner of his mouth, showing a disdainful sneer. "You are self-reliant and you want to kill you, so you unscrupulously collude with the thieves to join forces to surrender inside and outside. You have become a rebel minister and have the face to accuse others of rebellion. It is really shameless! You have killed so many rebellious thieves in the city these days, and you are still obsessed with it, so you should have expected that today will come."

He bent down and whispered in Yuwen Lie's ear: "I've wanted to kill you for a long time! I've saved your life until now just to make the Chai family believe that their secret passage is unknown. Now you are useless, so you don't have to be lucky, just go on the road with peace of mind!"

He stood up straight with a sneer, waved to Ying Yangbing behind him, "The He Mansion will conduct a search and no living mouth!"

In the past few days, Yinshishi led Yingyang's troops to scatter the ministers of rebellion. Many civil and military officials and soldiers in the capital were killed, and these officers and soldiers were also familiar with each other. Without the need for Yinshishishishishishi's words, they immediately searched around and placed the hidden small jar at Yuwen Lie's home.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind Yinshi Master. Yinshi Master looked back, but saw a middle-aged civil servant entering with anger and raised his head. Yinshi Master's face, which was originally full of smiles, instantly stepped forward and bowed: "But the soldiers under him did not obey the military order and disturbed the bone master? Yin will compensate him first."

The visitor was Gu Yi, the governor of Jingzhao County, and also the city god of the human world in the imperial capital of the Great Sui Dynasty. When the civil and military nobles and even the royal family saw him, they were afraid of the Yinshi Master. Gu Yi was noble and upright in character, and he was famous for speaking out and dared to advise. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he often killed ministers. After all, civil and military officials in the court were afraid of being too worried, but only Gu Yi was not afraid of him and often spoke out and advised the emperor. Even the emperor of Daye was polite to him and did not punish him, let alone others.

The reason is that except for the fact that what Bone Yi said was in line with the legal system, the father and son were loyal to Yang Guang, so that the emperor could be particularly polite to them. The wind knew the strong grass, and Li Yuan's army had many strange intentions in the city. The father and son of the Gu family were unshakable. Instead, they prepared poisons, white silk, sharp blades and other objects at home, and prepared to be loyal to the whole family. This kind of character and integrity made Yin Shishi Master admire and respectful to the Bone Yi. Moreover, the two have always cooperated harmoniously, and the strategy of expelling the people of Chang'an was so smooth that they could not be separated from the full support of this parent official. Seeing that Bone Yi was unhappy, Yin Shishi Master also changed his past style and took the initiative to come forward to apologize.

Gu Yi waved his hand and said, "How can you care about the common etiquette now? I want to ask you, have you ever known about your actions by Wei Gong or Dai Wang?"

"What? The bone husband is always bold, but this time he has changed his temper? He dare not take action without military orders?"

"I have never joked with you!" Gu Yi lowered his voice: "You have already hurt the sky when you set up a cup of firewood in the private houses in the city. Now you are even setting up a cup of firewood in the mansion of the slaughtered officials. Do you still want the fire to burn into Daxing Palace?"

The Yin Shishi Master had no expression on his face, but his eyes were filled with some inexplicable excitement: "Don't Gu Gong was familiar with poetry and books, but wouldn't he know that there would be no eggs left after the collapse of the nest? If Chang'an City was destroyed and the Hecheng was destroyed, what face would our salary be the only one who could care about it? If the King of the Democratic City was responsible for the city, he would naturally not be out of the matter."

"you!"

The bone-tolerant instrument broke out, Yin Shishi said again: "Don't worry, Yin is not a person without heart, how can he reach the king in danger? Today's arrangements are just like digging the Li family's ancestral tomb that day, which is nothing more than cutting off the retreat of the three armies and allowing the military academy to move forward together without his thoughts. Military tactics are put to death and then live. If the great prosperity is not dead, how can they sacrifice their lives to fight each other? Li Yuan is strong outside and the middle, as long as our army is united, he cannot take the city. If the city is not lost, how can I order arson? The situation of the king and the officials seem to be dangerous, but in fact they are as stable as Mount Tai."

Gu Yi's expression was a little slow, but he still refused to give in: "Even so, we should let Duke Wei and King Dai know."

"Duke Wei is old and young, and there are all women in the palace without courage. If this matter is leaked, it will only be a bad thing. Now that the enemy is in front of you, the bone master must not act voluntarily and ruin the overall situation."

"I will arrange for people to stare at these places. If someone wants to trap a thousand years in a dangerous place, he will definitely follow Confucius to kill Shao Zhengmao and beat him up!"

“This is nature.”

"Also, the arsenal was opened and all the giant crossbows in stock were removed. What is this? Those crossbows..."

"I know that those tributes should be handed over to Jiangdu. But now that the enemy is in a big way, it is better to use tributes to defend the enemy than to invest in the enemy. If the Li family knew about retreating, these tributes would have time to load them on ships. If they still want to attack by secret passages, let them taste them."

Yin Shishishi said while turning his gaze to the ground beside him, as if there were the Li family's troops and his own military achievements hidden there at this moment.
