At noon on October 28th, the people on the street habitually looked up at the sky, but they didn’t see the familiar Kongming Lantern. Everyone was a little disappointed. Will the Kongming Lantern not come today
Suddenly, many soldiers with knives came running on the street, and one person stayed behind at twenty paces. They also looked at the sky from time to time, and then drove these people away with big knives, "Go, go, the king said, those things are all The demagogue of the Jin State, I don’t know what kind of evil thing is stained on it, you don’t take it..."
Drive the people along the street away.
The people were startled and angry, and they couldn't help but panic when they ran back. Some children were frightened and cried loudly. The adults didn't want to, and they pushed and shoved with the soldiers one after another, "We didn't do anything wrong..."
The scene was even more chaotic, and they were arguing and noisy, when suddenly there was a faint and rapid beating of gongs.
This is a gong that can only be struck by water. Everyone couldn't help but follow the sound of the gong, and saw the flames soaring into the sky. Not only the soldiers, but also the common people were startled, and they all cried out in surprise: "It's water, let's go!" There's water, put out the fire quickly."
Everyone ran towards the burning place...
The soldiers hesitated and did not move, and some civilians couldn't help cursing: "I haven't done my business, but I'm so proud of bullying our common people. Now I don't know how to save it when it's on fire, and I'm not afraid to burn the whole city."
The soldiers didn't move, they just listened to the commander's orders.
Their chief frowned, looked at the direction of the fire, worried, "Come here, go and see where the fire is."
"yes."
The person who set the fire was hiding in the alley at this time, seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and except for the onlookers who would fetch some water to wet the nearby houses, there were no firefighters to put out the fire, let alone soldiers.
One person couldn't help asking, "Boss, won't this fire get out of control?"
"No way?" The boss scratched his head and said, "I saw it on purpose. The fire looked big, but it's easy to put out when the fire brigade comes."
Their purpose is to attract all the patrolling people nearby, and then touch the tower. At the same time, this fire is also a signal to people outside the city. So far, their plan has gone smoothly.
But the fire got out of control. Firstly, the yamen servants and soldiers came too late, and many nearby people gathered, but they were late;
The second is that it is winter, the weather is dry, and the fire is difficult to control;
The third is that the fire is burning, and suddenly there is a gust of wind, and the house next door is also set on fire...
The few people hiding in the crowd were stunned. Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people were alarmed, they looked at each other, retreated quietly, turned and ran away.
They ran back to their new foothold - Gao Zhi's other courtyard, and reported the matter to their generals.
When the general heard this, he was surprised, "Didn't you just let you set fire to Prince Gao Er's other courtyard?"
"Yeah, we just lit a fire. Who knew that they didn't have firefighters here, and even the street guards came very late, and there was another gust of wind, and the fire couldn't be controlled. General, why don't we go to the city?" Do it at the door."
Upon hearing this, the general asked immediately, "Are there still many soldiers going to patrol the city gate from here?"
"Not many, they all ran to fight the fire," he said, "We met each other when we ran back, and they didn't even suspect us."
General Shen turned around in circles, "But we still can't get in touch with Mr. Zhang, and we can't get in touch with the outside world. If we do something, there is no one outside the city to support us..."
"General, my little one is willing to go out by water to deliver the letter."
When the general heard this, he hesitated for a while and then nodded, and then the few people sneaked out to the edge of the moat. It was bright daylight at this time, but fortunately, this section is remote, and few people usually come here.
Everyone looked up at the gate of the city. According to the prisoner, this opening is not a secret among their soldiers. Many people know that there is such a place, so if the soldiers patrolling the city wall find it... Everyone watched for a while, and someone whispered Said: "It's been so long, and the soldiers didn't even come for a patrol, maybe it's okay."
The general also felt that he couldn't delay any longer, so he said to the humanity who volunteered: "Go ahead and tell the chief manager that we will start around Youshi."
It was almost dark at that time, which is one of the two most sleepy periods in a person's life.
The soldier bit the letter wrapped in oiled paper in his mouth, and then quietly went into the water...
Not only did the patrols inside the city not find the soldiers, even the soldiers guarding the city who were mainly watching the situation outside the city did not find him.
After Zhao Guogong received the letter, he asked the soldiers about the situation in the inner city, and immediately got up to look for the emperor, "Your Majesty, the time has come."
The emperor took the letter and looked at it, his eyes lit up, he closed the letter and said: "Okay! Order troops and set off immediately."
"yes."
As soon as Zhao Guogong gave an order to go down, everyone immediately got busy, including the medical account.
After receiving the order, Man Bao sent the messenger away, then turned around and said to Bai Shan, "Your Majesty is going to attack the city."
Bai Shan: "The person who sent it in made a difference?"
Man Bao let out a "huh" and told him: "Now you can get out of bed with your 'injury', but you can't move too much, so don't go out and wander around, in case you are hit by someone, you will be fine."
It's easy to see through.
She said: "With the war, I may not have time to come back to see you for several days.
Bai Shan understood, nodded and said: "I know, don't worry, I will be very good during this time."
Man Bao handed Bai Shan to Daji and left with the cakes.
When she arrived at the main camp, she found that Bai Erlang was standing on tiptoe on the rock, trying to look towards the inner city.
Man Bao let Dr. Zheng and the students go first, and she went to look for Bai Erlang with the medicine box, "What are you looking at?"
"Fire," Bai Erlang said, pointing to the flaming red in the sky: "It has been two hours since I knew it was on fire, but the fire has not only not extinguished, but has become more and more intense. The sky is gone, do you think the fire will get out of control?"
Man Bao was startled, and stood on tiptoe to look at the domestic city, "Really, it won't get out of control, right?"
The palace finally saw the flames soaring into the sky. King Goguryeo was so angry that he found someone to scold him, and at the same time had to dispatch troops to put out the fire.
The fire spread, and the houses on that whole street were going to be caught in the fire.
"Isn't that Gao Zhi's other courtyard?" King Goguryeo asked angrily, "Why did the house that was sealed up catch fire?"
The ministers looked at each other, but couldn't say anything, they could only say: "We will find out after the investigation. The most urgent thing is to put out the fire."
The people living in that area are not high-ranking officials, but the other courtyards of high-ranking officials, which are very valuable. The yards in this street have been burned, and just thinking about it makes me feel suffocated and uncomfortable.
