Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Five Hidden Confrontation

At the south gate, torches gathered at the top of the city. When the searched troops were leaving the city, Zhang Liao and Lejin were asking about the captain there. When he saw Cao Cao leading Xun Yu to the city gate, he hurried forward to greet him.

"...Then the lieutenant means that there is only one carriage and one carriageman, and there is no one else?" Cao Cao had heard the report, pondered for a moment, and looked at the city gate: "The trick of tying people should be done by Gongsun, and the horse thief can't change his temperament after all."

Zhang Liao urged his horse to approach and lowered his voice: "Prime Minister, is Gongsun Zhi specially sent someone to abduct military advisors?"

"There are doubts about this matter. Wenhe has always been low-key. Even if he had a grudge with Gongsun Zhi at the beginning, it was a few years ago. He had fought. Looking at the lord, the matter should be put aside..." Xun Yu agreed with Zhang Liao's question. Suddenly he thought of something. When he stood up, Cao Cao and others looked over.

"The plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain! Gongsun Zhi still has a purpose-" Just as Xun Yu said this, a thought flashed through his mind, turned the reins and looked to the southwest side. In the dark night, there was a faint light of fire rushing into the distant sky.

Cao Cao, Zhang Liao and others were already running out.

“…burn the arsenal.”

The red color reflected on the sky and illuminated the night. Even the imperial city far away in the middle of this huge city, you can see a raging fire. Occasionally, snowflakes fell down in the sky, and the heat waves turned into water vapor before they landed. The violent fire directly swallowed the huge warehouse and spread to several other buildings. The people in the city were also clamored. The light of the red sky woke up from their sleep. They walked out of the house and stood on the street to watch there, whispering and talking. As for whether the fire would spread, they were not worried. That direction was Caoying Arsenal, surrounded by empty areas, without any buildings or trees.

In the imperial city, someone got up from the soft bed. Next to her was a sweet-sleeping child. He put on a fur coat and dragged his long skirt to the pavilion. Looking at the sky outside the city wall, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then quickly calmed down. Someone approached this side, holding his hands on the wooden railing, and the firelight reflected on the sky and shone through this side, and outlined the outline of the person's body in the future.

The other person had an excited smile on his face.

"It's the queen's method... As long as I see Cao Cao being defeated, I feel unspeakable."

"Your Majesty, don't say such disagreements. I know what you are thinking. Keep it safe and don't say it out... Tonight, it will only be a thief who makes trouble, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty and I."

The fur-clothed long skirt looked slightly and looked at the emperor opposite him. Then Fu Shou slowly turned around from here and walked down the attic and returned to the room.

"Bitch!"

Liu Xie looked at the direction of the woman's disappearance, subconsciously cursed in his heart, stretched out his hand and tightly wore clothes, and continued to look excitedly at the result of his help. After all, it was so exciting that he couldn't fall asleep after he did something for the first time.

At Yang's mansion, nearly sixty-year-old man got up from the bed and heard chaos in the south of the city. He looked at the red sky and showed a dazed look. After a moment, someone came to support him, "Father, it seems that some people don't want Prime Minister Cao to have a good time."

Yang Biao looked back at the other party. It was his son Yang Xiu, with his wrinkled forehead tightly wrinkled. "Please keep your mind and don't make any decisions. The southwest arsenal is far away from the residential houses. Even if the fire is huge, it will only burn some weapons and armor. It is okay to have nothing to do with the Prime Minister. As the chief clerk of the Prime Minister's Office, you should send someone to participate in the firefighting, but don't command yourself, and leave it all to the generals under the Prime Minister. Remember?"

The fourth generation of the Yang family, even if Yang Biao's title has been cut off and he will not leave the house on weekdays, he can still tell his style of the past when he gave his son instructions.

"In the future, you will rely on you to support your family. Do more, watch more, talk less, and keep your thoughts in your heart for your father. Don't show off in front of others."

Now at the age of 25, she sat in the position of the prime minister's chief clerk. Even though Yang Xiu didn't care about his father's advice, he still nodded respectfully. The fire broke out in the southwest arsenal. After the chaos broke out, in addition to the Yang Mansion, there were many officials in the yard, standing in the yard regardless of the cold, looking at the southwest sky. Some were surprised, some showed joy and cheering. Of course, most of them were sent to protect the house, and the servants participated in the ranks of firefighting.

The fire spread and the wind blew over and rolled up huge waves of fire. In the fire that was so thorny that people could not see directly, people shouted and cried, and figures passed through the open space, carrying any utensils that could hold water to the water well in the camp.

Not long after, a team of soldiers rushed over from the south gate. The alert general wanted to step forward. After seeing the leader, he quickly asked the soldiers under his command to make way. The war stopped, Cao Cao turned over and dismounted and strode into the gate of the arsenal. The huge fire could feel the burning temperature of the skin through three hundred steps.

He squeezed the whip tightly. When he was silent, a captain in the camp came over and reported the situation carefully. Cao Cao pursed his lips and looked at the fire. After a moment, he spoke: "There were only so many people at that time?"

"Reporting to the lord, there are only thirty-eight people, they...they..."

Cao Cao turned his head and stared at him with a squinted eyes: "How about those people?"

The captain quickly lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and said, "These people... are not afraid of swords and weapons, they are even more crazy than madmen. They are clearly breaking their stomachs and dragging a piece of intestines to run. They are still igniting themselves. The lowly ranks stopped some, but some people still crash into the warehouse with the fire."

The generals around looked at each other. They were all brave men who fought on the battlefield. Naturally, they had seen those who were not afraid of death, but they had never seen such dead soldiers who were cruel to him. It sounded a bit ridiculous. Cao Cao nodded and asked again: "How did they enter the village?"

"These dead men had tokens that were passing through... Only when someone found out that the pot of tinsel oil was in their backs, he became suspicious."

Cao Cao nodded, waved his hand and asked the captain to go down to put out the fire, and turned to Xun Yu, Zhang Liao and others behind him, "When he was having a good time with Gongsun in his early years, he heard that he was giving religious ghosts and gods on the grassland. Those who are not afraid of death should be those believers." He tightened his teeth tightly, turned around and walked towards the war horse with his hands behind his back, "..... This matter should be on that token. If there is no token, even if they are not afraid of death, they will not be able to enter the gate. Pass my order and call Cheng Yu to come back from Jiyin to investigate thoroughly."

"yes!"

Then, Cao Cao put on the horse's back and raised his hand: "There should be some of these dead soldiers. If the city is closed and the city is investigated, they must be found... In addition, we will strengthen defenses for several other arsenals. Fortunately, we should prevent the wolf from coming like this. How can we put the weapons in one place?"

After ordering, Cao Cao led his personal guards to leave here. The city was in chaos and he had many things to deal with. He left the fire to the generals below. While moving forward, he suddenly spoke to Xu Chu who was following him on a horse and following him: "Zhongkang, don't leave my door all night after he goes back."

"Oh." Xu Chu blinked.

For a few days after the night burned, Xu Du was in a state of martial law. He could see the servants of the government office and the guards in the city who searched for thieves. He had no obvious understanding of the appearance of the thieves. In a few days, the criminals and rascals were almost arrested. On the seventh day, the counselor named Cheng Yu returned to the city to take over and calmed down briefly.

As the sun sets, the afterglow shines on the corner of the eaves of the streets and alleys.

"...I can't get out for the time being, please tell the brothers to hide."

"Hide your identity, remember your accent... If you are caught, break yourself, or you will snatch it randomly, causing chaos."

"…..Don't worry, I wish you goodbye to the city, and the news will go to the north soon."

After a brief exchange of words, the ragged beggar sat under the eaves and watched the setting sun. Han Long was dressed in shabby clothes, carrying the merchant's goods and bowed slightly, and his expression was humbly pouring into the streets intertwined with people.

"I was born humble and could still kill you to the death..."
