In the palace, Dai Quan replied in surprise: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am so happy, so happy!"
Emperor Chongkang was worried about the current situation and could not sleep. Not long after he fell asleep, he was woken up by Dai Quan, a dog slave.
Emperor Chongkang asked in a deep voice with a strong feeling of getting out of bed: "Oh? Great joy? I don't know what the joy is?"
If this dog slave can't explain why, he must be punished!
Outside the palace, Dai Quan pretended not to hear Emperor Chongkang's anger——
As the eunuch who was most trusted by Emperor Chongkang, he had served Emperor Chongkang for half his life. Did he still not know the character of Emperor Chongkang?
If he didn't report such an important matter in time, he might be in trouble tomorrow.
Dai Quan responded loudly: "Your Majesty, the fire outside the city is soaring into the sky. Judging from its location, it must be the location of the Jin Kingdom's granary!"
"What? There's a big fire at the granary of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin? Come in and change my clothes!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Soon, Emperor Chongkang put on his clothes and quickly walked outside. Sure enough, he saw a huge fire in the direction of the Jin soldiers' granary outside the city.
Raging flames soared into the sky and burned through the night sky!
The Jinguo granary will be burned to the ground if not even a grain of food can be saved!
Emperor Chongkang couldn't help but said with great joy: "Okay! Okay! What a Jia Sheng. A promise is worth a thousand gold. As expected, all the promises he made are fulfilled! When he comes back, I will reward him heavily!"
It turned out that Jia Huan went out to burn down the granary of Jin soldiers and had reported it to Emperor Chongkang through the prince in advance.
The people he brought out were selected from the prince's guards.
In fact, Jia Huan could choose people from among the Mohist disciples, and they would even be more suitable than the prince's guards.
But Jia Huan did not dare to do this, because even if he succeeded, it would surely arouse the suspicion of Emperor Chongkang.
Jia Huan selected 360 soldiers from the East Palace guards who could swim and run fast.
After some training, they took them out of the city and set fire to them, which resulted in such a situation.
On the city wall, Wang Ziteng looked at the raging fire burning in the Jinguo granary outside the city, with a complicated expression on his face, mixed with joy and sorrow.
Wang Ziteng did not dare to sleep tonight, for fear that the incident of offering the city yesterday would happen again.
There are seven gates in the outer city of the capital. He got the news in time last night and was almost attacked by the Jin army.
If there are many inner city gates tonight, then the capital will most likely not be saved.
How could he still sleep in this situation?
He could only send out his cronies to closely guard the seven city gates, and he himself was ready to prepare.
He naturally knew that Jia Huan led hundreds of soldiers out of the city to burn down the Jinguo granary.
But he didn't expect that Jia Huan could really succeed.
Just a few hundred people want to burn down the Jinguo granary? Are you kidding me?
If Jin Guo was such a fool, would he still be so aggrieved?
But what he never expected was that Jia Huan actually succeeded!
If the Jin State's granary is burned down, then the Jin State will definitely retreat in the daytime.
If they don't retreat, they may never be able to leave.
In this way, the crisis in the capital is relieved, which is naturally a good thing.
However, this credit does not belong to him, Wang Ziteng. The credit belongs to the Jia family, but he gets nothing and may even be convicted.
I have to say that his performance in this capital defense battle was indeed disappointing.
First there was a battle outside the city. An army of 50,000 people fled without a fight, trampling on each other and killing and wounding thousands of people.
While defending the city, the city gate was opened by an insider, which almost caused the city gate to be broken down.
Isn't all this a sign of his incompetence?
After the Jin army retreated, he would have burned a high incense, not to mention being promoted to a higher rank, but not being demoted.
Zhao Heng, a cabinet scholar, saw the raging fire outside the city in his yard and couldn't help laughing.
This fire burns well! Not only did they defeat the invading Jin army, they also saved the lives of their three teachers and students, and even preserved the new reform law!
When those conservatives saw the fire outside the city, they all gritted their teeth and cursed.
At this time, the Jin army outside the city was all alerted, and they hurriedly gathered to start putting out the fire.
But there was no water source nearby, so they still relied on the moat for water.
But the moat is a full five or six miles away from the granary.
By the time the water came in, the granary was already in flames, making it impossible to get close.
And their army didn't have that many wooden barrels to hold water.
Pouring one bucket of water and two buckets of water on it will not only fail to extinguish the fire, but will actually make the flames explode more.
For a time, a feeling of despair spread among the Jin army.
Yeluqi, the commander of the Jin army, was so angry that he couldn't even spit out a mouthful of blood.
Originally, this was a golden opportunity for them to make a lot of money!
Daxia officials wanted to use their hands to kill several teachers and students of the reformist Zhao Heng and abolish the new law.
And they, Dajin, don't think that Daxia can repeal the new law?
If Daxia's new law can be successfully implemented, Daxia's national power will inevitably become stronger and stronger, and their country of Jin will be in danger.
Moreover, the conservatives in Daxia wanted to take advantage of Dajin, so why didn’t Dajin want to take advantage of the conservatives in Daxia?
They have already agreed that after today and tomorrow night, Daxia will dedicate three city gates again.
Yeluqi has decided that no matter what tomorrow night, he will break open the city gate and attack the capital.
Once they occupy the capital and kill the royal family in the capital, then they, Dajin, will be able to take over the Central Plains!
In the past, the Mongols swept across the Central Plains, conquered the Central Plains, became the lord of the Central Plains, and established the Yuan Dynasty.
Why can't they, the Great Jin Kingdom?
However, this fire tonight burned all their ambitions!
The fire in the granary in front of me was so fierce that there was no way to save it and I could only wait for it to burn out.
The granary was burned, and they must withdraw during the day.
For them, the more serious situation is how they can exit Daxia safely.
After all, they were going in alone, and Daxia's conservatives had previously cooperated with them to let them in.
But now, they may not let them go!
This fire directly burned them into an extremely dangerous situation! How could Yeluqi not be so angry that he wanted to vomit blood?
…
Let's say that Jia Huan is in front, leading the way, leading more than 300 people, and is running hard.
Jia Huan's strength is increasing every day. Although the increase is getting weaker and weaker, in the past few years, his strength has become extremely strong.
Although he was not strong enough to carry the cauldron, he felt that he still had the strength to carry the three or four hundred kilograms.
The body becomes stronger with training. It's the kind of figure that makes you look slimmer when you wear clothes and shows off your body when you take off clothes.
In this long-distance run, Jia Huan had an excellent grasp of the rhythm.
On the other hand, the prince's guard who followed behind was panting and unable to keep up.
However, because there was someone leading the race, each of them held the rope and were not afraid of falling behind.
Moreover, they were in a dangerous situation now, so they gritted their teeth and relied on perseverance to barely keep up with Jia Huan's pace.
In this way, when the sky turned white and the sky became bright, a huge mountain appeared in front of them! (End of chapter)
