"Report..., it's bad! There's a fire in the big granary!" "Report..., there's a fire in the west garden of the palace!"... The alarms kept coming for a while, and Tian Feng, who was responsible for guarding Luoyang, was shocked and quickly dispatched men to various places.

He put out the fire everywhere, and immediately ordered Xin Ping, the deputy army officer, to take a group of guards to inspect the big granary. Tian Feng originally wanted to go, but Luoyang was in troubled times. As the general manager of Yuan Shao's army in Luoyang, it was inconvenient for him to leave the government office.

As soon as Xin Ping and his party left, a sergeant came to report: "Sir, the lord's envoy has arrived!"

Tian Feng heard this and hurriedly came out of the hall to greet him. The two met in front of the hall and greeted each other. The envoy took out Yuan Shao's handwritten letter, handed it to Tian Feng with both hands, and then said: "My lord, I would like to remind you that there are nearly a thousand enemies in the past few days."

The cavalry breaks through our defense line and comes eastward. Although the number is small, it may cause serious disaster. Lord Tian Feng must be careful to defend the city and make no mistakes!"

Tian Feng frowned.

The messenger clasped his fists and said: "Sir, the letter has been delivered and the words have been brought. I will go back and resume my life next time!"

Tian Feng quickly said to a follower beside him: "Send the message for me." The follower immediately sent the messenger and left.

Tian Feng opened the letter, read it again, and frowned: "It seems that the fires that occurred one after another today were all caused by these people!"

While he was thinking about it, an officer with a bloody face stumbled in. When Tian Feng saw his appearance, he couldn't help being surprised, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

The officer rushed to Tian Feng and knelt down with a plop, "It's not good, sir! Lord Xin Ping and his party were suddenly attacked on the way to the big granary. All the thirty people under Lord Xin Ping were killed, and I was the only one who escaped."

return!"

Tian Feng was shocked, "What? Who did it?"

The officer shook his head and said, "I don't know! Those people were all dressed in civilian clothes, and they were all extremely brave! A dozen of them killed more than thirty of us in the blink of an eye. It's terrible!"

"Only a dozen people?"

The officer nodded.

Tian Feng thought quickly in his mind and immediately gave the order: "Instruct General Lu Xiang to immediately allocate manpower to strengthen the defense of the palace, granary, armory, Suzaku Street, government offices, market, and city gates! If there is an emergency, we can take the opportunity.

Make a decision without asking for instructions! General Lu Xiang commanded 6,000 cavalry troops and sat in the barracks, watching the fireworks signals and providing reinforcements everywhere at any time!" "Promise." The officer promised and ran down.

Tian Feng then called another yamen officer and asked him to go and investigate the fire in the big granary and the west garden. He then climbed up to the attic of the yamen office and looked towards the direction of the big granary. He saw flames stretching across the sky in the distance, and there were no traces of fire at all.

There were signs of weakening, and there seemed to be many people fighting under the firelight! Tian Feng couldn't help but frown, feeling extremely worried!

More than a thousand cavalrymen, led by two generals, hurried towards the big granary. The people on the street fled to both sides, people were panicked and talked a lot.

"What happened?" a young vendor asked with a worried look. The middle-aged man standing in front turned around and said, "I heard that someone attacked the big granary and set a fire!"

The street vendor looked in disbelief, "Who is so bold?" The middle-aged man said in a treasure-proclaiming tone: "I heard that Lu Bu's people have entered the city! They are killing people and setting fires everywhere!" The small vendor said with a look of fear: "Then

But what should I do? Isn’t it impossible to continue my business?” The middle-aged man mocked: “What are you worried about? They won’t be interested in a small vendor like you! Those they want to kill are all government officials!”

The vendor felt reassured and grinned, "Being a little person also has its advantages! At least you won't be remembered!"

Two generals led a thousand infantry and cavalry to the big granary, only to see a mess. Dozens of corpses were lying on the ground, all of them were soldiers responsible for guarding the big granary, but the attackers had disappeared.

The two generals immediately divided the work. One led 500 cavalry to guard the perimeter of the granary, and the other led 500 infantry to rush into the fire to put out the fire. Although the fire was large at the moment, it was not uncontrollable. At the beginning of the construction of the large granary,

Taking into account the issue of fire prevention and fighting, the entire large granary is divided into more than a dozen independent courtyards. The courtyards are separated by brick walls. Live water is introduced into the large granary, forming a large or small puddle in each courtyard.

It can be used to put out fires nearby.

With the full rescue efforts of more than 500 infantrymen, the fire was gradually extinguished. According to subsequent statistics, only one courtyard's grain store in the entire large granary was completely burned, and the grain stores in three other courtyards were partially burned. The losses were not too great.

big!

A dozen strong men in various costumes divided into groups and entered the Yuelai Inn on West Street in Luoyang City.

Zhang Lang sat down in the room, poured a cup of tea and took a sip. He looked like a rich man who came to Luoyang for a visit. He wore a turban, a folding fan, and a white Confucian shirt. He looked elegant and peaceful.

It's completely different. Even if Yan Yuyao and the others saw him, they probably wouldn't recognize him. There were three people standing next to him, all dressed as salesmen.

Bang bang, bang bang, there was a knocking sound with a specific rhythm outside the door. A person next to Zhang Lang immediately stepped forward to open the door, and a young man in his twenties with a dark face and a strong body, dressed as a porter, immediately flashed in.

, the door is closed.

"Brother!" the young man said, cupping his fists. This title was given by Zhang Lang. After all, this is the enemy's territory. Any small oversight in details may lead to a big crisis.

Zhang Lang asked: "Has everyone withdrawn? Are there any casualties?"

"Everyone has been withdrawn! There are no casualties!"

Zhang Lang ordered: "Tell the brothers hiding everywhere that they are not allowed to act without my orders. If there is an emergency, don't be reluctant to fight and retreat to crowded places!" "Promise." The young man promised with fists clasped, turned and left.

Already.

At present, of the eight hundred tiger cavalry brought by Zhang Lang, only 300 are actually in the city, and the other 500 are hidden in the nearby mountains. One is to take care of the horses, and the other is to take care of Zhang Lang and the others. These three people in the city

In order not to attract the attention of outsiders, the hundreds of people all lived dispersedly, either in inns, in slums, or disguised as beggars and sleeping on the streets. Each group consisted of more than ten or twenty people. In order to facilitate contact, they all agreed

signal.

"Brother, tomorrow the gentry in Luoyang will hold a peony party. Senior officials will attend. Should we take the opportunity to take action?" asked an officer.

Zhang Lang thought for a moment, touched his chin and said with an evil smile: "Let us give them an unforgettable memory!"

"Have you seen anyone suspicious lately?" A arrogant voice suddenly came from downstairs.

Zhang Lang frowned, and the officer next to him immediately came to the door and pushed the door open a crack. He saw the store owner coming upstairs with a dozen officers and soldiers, and the owner was pointing here.

The officer immediately closed the door, returned to Zhang Lang, cupped his fists and said, "Brother, they found us!"

"how many people?"

"A dozen soldiers."
