Chapter 350

The vanguard's face riding on the horse's back, looking at the empty city in front of him.

"General, there is no one in the city!" The soldier in front of him came back to report.

"Asshole!" The leader was furious, and he didn't know that he was still scolding himself. After cursing a few words, he could only send someone to report to the king of Zhennan who had not yet entered the city.

"What is that?" The vanguard frowned and asked, pointing to something dark that didn't seem to be very impressive around the corner. The soldier standing in front of his horse looked at it. After a while, he came back with some doubts and told him, "general, it seems that there are some tung oil and shizhishui. It was about when the people of Dongchu fled. " The vanguard frowned and felt something was wrong. A close look around, found that there are not a few such traces, and the air seems to be filled with a strong smell of wine. There were several restaurants along the street where they had just entered the city, so they didn't pay attention to them. However, after careful observation, it can be found that even outside the restaurants, the wine tastes too strong. Before I had time to think about it, the window in the upstairs next to the street was suddenly pushed open from inside. A man in black took a cold look at the people below, quickly opened his bow and arrow, and then disappeared in the window. All of these actions were completed in a flash. When all the people responded to shoot arrows at the window, the man had disappeared in the window.

"There's a fire!" Suddenly there was a cry of alarm, and a cluster of sparks sprang up on both sides of the street and spread in extreme time.

"There is an ambush! Get out of here

At the same time, Xinyang City is noisy again, "the gate of the city is also on fire!" There was a loud noise at the gate of the city, and then they saw the fire rising. Even if they were in the city, they could clearly see the red light on that day, and they could imagine how strong the fire was.

"Come on! Put out the fire The army of Xiling was in chaos. It's not easy to put out a fire. Xiling city was originally dry and short of water. The only few wells were either sealed or buried. The only liquid that can be found in the two cities at this time is wine. As if on purpose, these are placed outside those restaurants, and some even on the street. As long as someone accidentally breaks the jar, it will cause more fire. The city of Xinyang, which should have been full of Kaisong, was full of flames and wails.

On the mountain peak several miles away from Xinyang City, Ye Li looked at the distant Xinyang city which had been interwoven into a sea of fire and sighed softly: "Xinyang is destroyed." Standing behind Ye Li, Qin Feng put on a thin cloak for her and said, "princess, don't worry. In fact, most of the buildings in Xinyang are made of earth and stone. Even if most of the houses are burned down, it will not be too difficult to rebuild them in the future. In addition, we can eliminate at least 50000 people in Xiling without a single soldier. It's better to burn Xinyang than to keep it for the people of Xiling. " Ye Li gave a faint smile, closed his cloak and turned around and said, "let's go. After this battle, the king of the south of the town is very angry. Let's get to Hongzhou as soon as possible."

"Yes, princess."

Xinyang City, as Qinfeng said, is mostly made of earth and stone, which is not a good fuel. But even so, we lost a whole day and night. Because the gate of the city is blocked by fire, the people in the city cannot go out, and those outside the city cannot enter. When the fire finally abated the next day and the troops outside the city could enter the city, almost all the people in the city had been destroyed. Even those who were not killed by the fire would have been suffocated by the rolling smoke. The original magnificent and heroic Xinyang City is already dark and dreary.

When Zhennan Wang stepped into Xinyang City, his face was not only gloomy, but also gloomy. Looking at the ruins in front of him, as well as the smoke on both sides of the street that had not been completely extinguished, and the evil smell in the air, the king of Zhennan looked ferocious and insidious, gnashing his teeth and saying, "Ye Li..." The generals who came in with Zhennan King were all wary, afraid that they might say something wrong or do something wrong, which would infuriate the gloomy Zhennan king. After a long time, the king of Zhennan suddenly looked up and said with a long smile: "good! I didn't expect that Wang would meet an opponent more than ten years later! Mo Liufang, your good daughter-in-law! Ye Li If you are not captured alive, I will not be a man! According to the king's order, those who capture the princess of Dingguo alive will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and thousands of princes! " After hearing the speech, the public explained that such a reward was almost as good as that offered to the king of all dynasties. The king of Zhennan turned and glanced around him, sneering and saying, "the remaining people are stationed in Xinyang, and the rest of the army are going to set out for Hongzhou!"

"Yes."

Hongzhou city is not the largest city in Northwest China, nor is it the strongest city in Northwest China. However, due to its geographical location, the Xiling army has been blocked by Mohist army and has not been able to get close to Hongzhou city. Although the Northwest has been a raging war, but the people and merchants in Hongzhou city are still very happy. Because their backs were the only way for the northwest to enter the Central Plains. Even though Hongzhou city was broken by the Xiling army, they also came and fled to the Central Plains. What's more, the fighting area in Dachu is not only in the northwest, so there are fewer refugees.

"Sun Xingzhi, governor of Northwest China, led officials and merchants in Hongzhou city to greet the princess of Dingguo." At the gate of the city, the governor of Hongzhou led officials of all sizes to meet Ye Li and his party.

Feng Zhiyao glanced at the smiling middle-aged man in front of him. He was a kind of Pro emperor faction. He fled from Xinyang to Hongzhou at the beginning of the war. He was always indifferent to the Mohist army near Hongzhou, and even tried to delay the supply of grain and grass. At this time, I still have the courage to stand at the gate of the city to meet the princess. I'm really brave. Ye Li, dressed in plain blue, is not as elegant and gorgeous as a lady in the capital of Chu. The extremely common and simple style makes people unable to produce half silk irreverence and contempt. Holding Zhuo Jing's men on the horse's back, Ye Li looked at the people standing in two rows respectfully in front of him, and nodded his head slightly: "Mr. Sun, you are welcome."Sun Xingzhi came forward and said with an attentive smile: "the princess has been working hard all the way. Please go into the city to have a cup of tea first, and then her subordinates will hold a banquet to wash the dust for the princess in the evening."

Ye lixiu eyebrow light Yang, so anxious to announce the relationship between the guest and the host?

"I'm afraid it's going to spoil the favor of Mr. Sun. The Xiling army is rampant in Hongzhou. Do you have a solution? "

Sun Xingzhi said with a smile: "with the Mohist army there, there is no place for the people of Xiling to indulge. Like the people of Hongzhou, Wei Chen is at ease and has a good heart! " On one side of the Phoenix, the sword eyebrow raised and said with a sneer: "do people in Hongzhou city only refer to people in Hongzhou city? Will you remember that Lord Sun was the governor of Northwest China rather than the governor of Hongzhou? In addition What Mr. Sun said just now seems to be that it is the fault of the Mohist army that the Xiling people are now plundering the northwest? " Sun Xingzhi's face was stiff, and soon he said with a smile, "I dare not." Dare not but is not, Feng's distance lightly hums a, ignore him.
