Han Chou whispered to Qiuqiu: "Ancestor, is there really no food in Yangcheng? Where is the oil? Let's collect it all. It would be such a waste if we burn it all." It's all oil!

Qiuqiu: "You are quite honest. Yangcheng is located in the north, and the groundwater level is very low. There are only ten deep water wells in the whole city, and they are now all blocked by oil. Do you want to collect them one by one?"

Han Chou: "Go ahead. I don't have anything to do right now anyway. I've given the storage talismans containing the food to my dad for safekeeping."

Qiuqiu: "Okay, follow the route I instructed."

Han Chou followed Qiuqiu's instructions and worked hard all day until dark, when he finally collected all the oil and water from the ten wells.

Yangcheng was a fire city that could ignite at any time. Every inch of land was covered with kerosene. All Han Chou had done could only slow down the fire.

Qiuqiu's spiritual sense investigated: "There are many empty barrels in the treasury of the City Lord's Mansion. They should be used to transport and store oil. Go and collect the empty barrels. This oil is stored in the Xuna bottle and cannot be sold directly."

Han Chou followed his words and said: "Ancestor, there is no unexpected wealth in the entire Yangcheng."

Qiuqiu didn't want to get too involved: "These properties have nothing to do with you, don't even think about it." However, he could reveal a few things to Han Hen, as a start-up capital for the Han family's development.

Han Chou brought this upon himself, so it’s better not to get involved in too much karma.

Han Chou agreed reluctantly.

Of the remaining 150,000 Han army soldiers, half were wounded and had reached their physical limits, having not eaten or drunk a drop of water for three days.

According to Han Hen's military order, after entering Yangcheng, they stopped to rest. Each person was only given three sips of strong liquor, which contained a knockout drug, so they could rest better.

After a long march, the men and horses were exhausted, there was a shortage of medical care and medicine, and the food and grass were cut off. There were pursuers behind and conspiracies in front. They would be suspected while alive and would be held accountable after their death.

Most of these liquors were stored in the wine cellar, but they had already been plundered by the army.

Han Lin knew that these strong liquors were added with sleeping pills, and drinking them would be like drinking poison to quench thirst. If he didn't drink it, the soldiers would die of thirst and it would also accelerate the fire. At this moment of life and death, of course he would choose to drink it.

With the help of Qiuqiu, all the flammable materials in Yangcheng were collected by Han Chou using storage talismans in just two hours.

Even if a fire occurs, the absence of flammable materials greatly increases the chances of escape.

Qiuqiu did not tell Han Chou about the hidden treasures in Yangcheng, but Han Chou did not change his nature as a businessman. When he inspected Yangcheng, he would use storage talismans to collect anything he liked, and called it: the Han family's start-up capital.

Yangcheng is a small city, spanning no more than 10,000 meters from north to south, and is adjacent to Shu Lake in the east.

The 150,000-strong army stationed there can be said to have occupied half of the city.

It was a dark and windy night, and the Han army was exhausted. Under the combined effects of alcohol and drugs, they fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, in the dead silent Yangcheng, countless rockets flew from the city walls.

The entire quiet Yangcheng was engulfed in flames in an instant.

At this time, Qiuqiu's help was needed. Qiuqiu took the seriously injured and unconscious Han family soldiers into the space, about 140,000 people.

In the eyes of others, these people were unconscious and died in the fire.

Han Lin quickly organized the remaining forces to escape to Shu Lake.

The commando team composed of spies from all sides suffered deaths one after another during the charge. After finally escaping to Dongcheng, someone discovered that Shu Lake had not yet dried up.

But the pursuers were close behind, and the rockets fell into the lake, which caught fire. The fire spread for several miles on the water, completely trapping the remaining soldiers in the sea of ​​fire, leaving them with no chance of survival.

Looking back, Yangcheng had been engulfed in flames. Houses, buildings, roadside trees, the ground, and wells were all ablaze.

The Tatar cavalry responsible for setting the fire numbered no more than a thousand men. Han Lin and Han Hen fought their way out from the front, leaving the Tatar Qiang spies as shields.

They then joined forces with people planted by the royal family and tried to break out several times. In the end, only Han Hen and his guards succeeded in breaking out and escaped from Yangcheng alive.

Han Lin and more than 100,000 Han family soldiers died in the sea of ​​fire.

Therefore, during the burning of Yangcheng, only Han Hen and his guards emerged alive, while General Han Lin and 150,000 Han family soldiers died in the battle.

Han Chou, along with Han Lin and his close associates, accidentally came to a reed bush without any flames.

The reeds here have been cleared away, barely enough to accommodate the deserters' attention.

Han Lin looked at the Han family army of no more than 10,000 people and felt sad!

As the son of a military family, Han Lin was educated in loyalty to the emperor and patriotism since childhood. His daughter was the future queen, and he regarded the northern border as his life's protection. He had no intention of betraying the emperor or the country, but for the sake of his brothers and the Han family, he betrayed the monarch he was loyal to.

There were also those in the Han family army who died in this conspiracy. Even if they were spies belonging to a certain faction, as long as they did not betray the country and leak military secrets, they would not be punished with death. However, in this conspiracy, he personally sent those brothers to their deaths.

A sad Han Lin looked at the tens of thousands of wounded soldiers who followed him out of the sea of ​​fire. They were covered with burns and arrow wounds. If they were not treated in time, it would be difficult for them to survive tomorrow.

There is still a big show to be performed. After a short rest, Han Chou, who was pretending to be a personal guard beside Han Lin, imitated the soldiers to use a knife to dig reed roots to satisfy his hunger. After recovering his strength a little, he waited until the fire around him was a little smaller and then set out to escape again.

On the way, just as they were about to escape Yangcheng, Han Lin clutched his chest as blood gushed out. He pointed at his adjutant, who was clutching the weapon, and demanded, "Wang Quan, you...why? Did you and the Tatars set up the trap in Yangcheng? Did the delay in the arrival of food and fodder stem from your Wang family's actions?"

Without waiting for the confused Wang Quan to refute, he used his remaining strength to stab Wang Quan to death. Who made the Wang family frame Gu Zhao and force their daughter to give birth in the imperial mausoleum? He wanted to vent his anger.

He then handed the half tiger talisman in his arms to another deputy general beside him and said, "Li Hu, I can't hold on any longer. You lead the remaining elite troops to escape, reunite with Li Wei and the others, and quickly rush to Pingcheng to report to the general and report what happened to the emperor."

Although Li Hu is the emperor's man, he was an orphan since childhood. After entering the secret guard camp, he suffered inhuman torture. Although he was brainwashed, he is absolutely loyal to the royal family and prefers to live openly on the battlefield. He is also Han Lin's good friend.

Li Hu had lived the happiest life only during the past ten years in the military camp. Wiping away his tears, he said, "General, we ran out of food and grass, and were chased all the way to Yangcheng by the Tatars. I never thought that Yangcheng would be the place where we would be buried."

Han Lin saw that the flames in the city were extinguished and that the main force of the Tatars would soon rush in and wipe out the enemy completely. He pushed Li Hu away and said, "Let's go."

Han Chou ordered his personal guards to start killing Wang Quan's confidants, and all the Tatar spies were cleared out.

It was necessary to close the west gate, as the Tatar army was lying in ambush outside, and the west and south gates were not a way out.
