Five hundred and eighty fifth chapter Xiongdu (twenty-eighth)

In Wei Xuan's mansion, the Yin Shishishi had changed several times, but Wei Xuan still had no intention of seeing him off, so Yin Shishi had to stay by his side. He probably understood Wei Xuan's meaning. He had not decided to win and lose the battle between him and the Li family tonight, so he would not take a step beyond the Wei Gong Mansion. As the Li family's soldiers officially began to attack the city, Wei Xuan's whole person became very different from the court.

Long before Li Yuan raised his army, Wei Xuan was already trapped by illness and was listless every day. Although he nominally assisted the King of Democratic ruler in Guanzhong, he left most of the actual affairs to his subordinates. He only expressed his opinions on military and national affairs, saving his energy as much as possible and avoiding consumption. Some people even guessed in private how long Wei Duke could last, and who could take over everything he had.

However, with the sound of war drums rumbling, the exhausted old man who had been plagued by illness suddenly sat upright. His hunched waist was instantly straightened, and the turbid old eyes suddenly shot out two rays of light. The famous general who was in charge of thousands of troops to fight against Yang Xuangan's rebellion and continued the great Sui Dynasty's resurrection was resurrected at this moment. His eyes were so sharp that the Yinshi Master was a little afraid, and he hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to look at the old man.

He is worthy of being a great minister who can be trusted by the Emperor of Daye and even entrusted to the government. He usually keeps his low profile and is as if he is old. Even the Yinshi Master himself believes that Chang'an can only be protected by himself. But at this time, when the old man finally showed the temperament of an important minister in the temple, he felt how huge the power contained in Wei Xuan was. His own strategy, martial arts, thoughts, and even authority were like a joke in front of the old man. As long as he was willing, he could make all this to pieces with a blink of an eye.

The four Wei family slaves reported back and forth, telling Wei Xuan the front line of war. Wei Xuan did not avoid it, and asked his servants to report loudly in front of Yinshi Master, never considering whether doing so would harm the Yinshi Master's face. The military information they reported did not come from the front line text, but directly learned from the city. It can be seen that there were dead soldiers in the Wei family who dared to go into danger in such chaos and spy on military information for the head of the family. It also proved that there were direct descendants of the Wei family in the army, and even many military information that should have been reported to the court, and the court chose to issue the court to directly talk to Wei Xuan. Yinshi Master listened to it, which saved a lot of trouble. Otherwise, others would have no idea about the situation on the front line, and they could not judge the victory or defeat by just shouting and killing by the golden drum.

When the general heard the situation at the city wall, Yin Shishi Master looked as usual on his face and felt relieved. What he did during this period proved that he was not in vain. No matter how others evaluated what he did, if this military achievements were put here, everyone had to admit that he was right, including Wei Xuan in front of him, he did not dare to blame him. After all, all the truths in this world will fall above the force. Without force as a guarantee, everything is empty talk.

"Da'anfang has become a sea of ​​fire that is unsustainable! The fire is approaching Datong, and Guiyi and the two sides are spreading!"

"Has anyone ever tried to put out the fire?"

"All water storage equipment was destroyed, and the soldiers could not put out the fire. The thieves were very eager to attack the city, and the soldiers were focused on defense, and they could not draw out many people."

Hearing the return of the general, Wei Xuan snorted coldly and asked again: "Has the city gate ever been in trouble?"

"The city gate has sand and soil, water bags, and there are special soldiers to prevent disasters."

Wei Xuan glanced at Yinshi Master: "The General is indeed meticulous, and even this level has come to mind."

The Yinshi Master looked as usual: "The man who won the temple before the battle is considered to be more, and the man who won't win the temple before the battle is considered to be less. How dare the general bear the king's order? Duke Wei is concerned about the people, so he naturally cannot bear to see these alleys being burned. However, since ancient times, it has been common for soldiers to fight and burn together with jade and stones. It is better to burn these alleys by fire than to fall into the hands of the thief. The men sent by the thief have helped us a lot."

"You are not bad, but you originally wanted to wait until the Jinyang soldiers enter the city before setting fire, but now they are snatched by the elite soldiers of Jinyang. The city is still in our hands, and it is probably not easy to put things on Li Ni's head."

"Since ancient times, the king has succeeded and defeated the enemy. As long as the rioters and thieves are killed, no one will speak for them."

Wei Xuan sighed: "The late emperor spared no effort to build a prosperous country in the day, just to let the people of the world know that the chaotic world of the past has come to an end. My Great Sui Dynasty is like this capital city forever, and the people no longer have to suffer the pain of being rampant and war. Brother Anle personally took charge of the situation, and even cared about the land, lotus and stones, and ate and lived with the people, just to make this city unparalleled in the world and show the spirit of our court. All the past is vivid in my mind, but I didn't expect that Brother Anle would turn into white land before he came to his life."

When he said this, he did not respond when he saw Yinshi Master, and he kept silent. Instead, he smiled at Yinshi Master: "As people get older, they are prone to nostalgia. When they talk about past events, please don't laugh."

"Your Majesty Wei is polite. It is human nature to miss old friends. Yin does not want to burn the capital. However, the rebels are rampant and use extraordinary means to control them. This is also a helpless move. What's more, the rebels can even set fires, which shows that their means are vicious. Even if we don't make arrangements first, they will inevitably set fires after they enter the city."

Wei Xuan did not accept the words of Yin Shishi Master this time, but focused on waiting for his generals to report. The two generals in a row were the battle at the city wall. When the second general was about to turn around and leave, Wei Xuan called him: "Tell them that there is no need to explore the matter at the city wall."

The general took the order and Yin Shishi asked: "Now the rebel soldiers and horses are very anxious to attack the city. Why doesn't Wei Duke ask about the victory or defeat at the city?"

"I am also a leader of troops, and I still understand this principle. The thief seems to be stolen and sacrifice his life, but in fact he has no skills. He has put out so many equipment, but he still has to rope and ants to the end. The battle is like a two-ox horn. Everyone competes with their own strength to see who has more people and who is willing to die. This kind of war is very boring, and it is destined to be unable to decide the outcome tonight. What do I listen to him?"

Yin Shishi Master understood that Wei Xuan had something in his words. He just asked about the war on the city, and he implied that his family was dedicated to inquire about the fire in the city. This is not difficult to understand. Wei Xuan's own mansion and many industries were in the city. Of course, he did not want the city to be burned and all the industries he had accumulated were destroyed. It seems that no matter who he was, he would inevitably be burdened by wealth and family, and he could not let go of his hands and feet without any scruples.

After all, not everyone is like himself, distributing his family property early to ensure that his personal soldiers will not retreat. Duke Wei worked for the country for half his life, but still cannot avoid the vulgarity when he is old. He laughed in his heart that Wei Xuan could not abandon his private affairs at critical moments, and he had to comfort him: "What Mr. Wei said is very true. He did not have eyesight at night. The soldiers of Jinyang did not know that our army was powerful, so he could charge for the desperate charge. When the sky lights brightly, the bandits saw that the hopelessness of the city was heavy and the army would be severely injured, and the morale of the army would inevitably be dispersed. Even Sun and Wu Zaisheng were not enough to control the army. Today's Li Ni was just like the Yang thief in the past. Although many of his subordinates were uneven, they were all supported by virtual fire. As long as the attack was frustrated and the army was shaken, the subordinates would inevitably be scattered. In a few days, we could send the entire family of the thief to Jiangdu!"

Wei Xuan said with a smile: "The General is far-sighted and what he said is true. However, I have something unclear, so I ask the General to answer the questions. The rebels have only a few dozen elite soldiers who have entered the city, but they have not yet been captured yet. Instead, they are setting fires everywhere and acting more and more rampant. I wonder if the General intends to indulge them in this way, or is there another world? I hope the General will make it clear."

Yin Shishi Master was actually very strange. Yin Hongzhi was in charge of Wanglou to dispatch soldiers and generals in the city, and had a division of labor with Yin Hongzhi. Even if the Li family was in a hurry to attack the city, Yin Hongzhi had more than 2,000 troops in his hands. This was the bottom line he left for the defenders in the city. Even Yin Hongde had no right to dispatch them. With two thousand people against dozens of cavalry, he should have won a long time ago, so why did he delay it until now?

The plan for Burning City was a last resort, and the Yinshi Master would not want to use such a method unless necessary. Besides, Burning City was an arrangement to prevent the city from falling. Now the city is still in his hands and burned to white ground by Li Yuan's subordinates, which is not good for him. After all, according to the current momentum, the Li family will retreat within a day or two. He also needs these wealth to reward the generals, so that they can chase the death and chase the north and kill the Li family. If they are burned up in a confused manner, it will not be beneficial for him.

At this time, the generals came in one after another to report the fire. In contrast to the situation of defending the city, the fire in the city became increasingly unfavorable. The fire spread to more than a dozen people's yards, which was difficult to control. Originally, Xuanjia cavalry set fire on a torch, and he threw it while walking and throwing it without any plan. No matter how much he threw it, it would not burn it like this. After all, it was the pots of firewood he placed himself to help the fire, and he deliberately placed wood and other fire-induced objects between the houses. The original intention was to make it easier for the city to burn, but unexpectedly it was cheaper to Li Yuan's subordinates.

But what is the origin of this group of people? From entering the city to now, they can still rush around without anyone to control. Are they all fish and roaring?

At this moment, another general rushed in with a panic expression: "The rebel cavalry has killed Zhuque Street and is coming to this area. Please avoid it for a while..."

"Just! I have experienced countless battle formations in my life, and I have feared swords and swords? I was so scared that I was so scared that I was useless. Get out!"

After scolding the general, Wei Xuan looked at Yinshi Master again. "General, you see, there are countless outlaws in the world who do not know the highest heaven and earth. If it were in Da'an, it would be fine if the alleys of Datong were set fire, but they would still dare to kill here. Don't you know that all the living here are pillars of the court? The general is responsible for guarding Chang'an, so this place must have been prepared for it. If these thieves are told to come and go, I wonder if I can tell the arrangements and ask me to send someone to help me?"

Master Yin Shi's face also changed slightly. He didn't expect that someone could rush here from Da'anfang. You should know that Wei Xuan's Mansion is close to Daxing Palace. If the thief burns the place or kills it from now on, he may be disturbed by the Dai King in the imperial city.

The Yinshi Master who can set up a series of mechanisms will naturally not make big mistakes in the prevention of the city. In fact, from Da'anfang to this, the ambushings arranged along the way are enough to make thousands of soldiers come and go. God knows who is here, and what ability can break through all the ambushings he has worked hard to break through, and then rush to the front.

As a wise general, Yinshi Master is most disgusted with by the brave. A brave man who can make all his plans fail undoubtedly makes him even more disgusted and fearful. Even though Yinshi Master has always been calm, he cannot sit still at this time. He stood up suddenly and said, "The thief is so rampant! Wait for someone to personally command the headquarters and see how many skills he has."
