The fire was fierce, and he really had no choice, so he led his family to retreat, and at this time, the fire not only burned the Yang family, but also spread to the surrounding houses. Li Keshou is organizing the extinguishing of the fire, but I don't know if there are still people in the Yang family who have survived.

When he said this, Dong Ce's face was gloomy, and in Liu Ruozai's opinion, Dong Ce was obviously a little self-blaming.

Dong Ce's remarks, if you want to talk about loopholes, there are no loopholes, but they can't stand scrutiny, as long as you carefully check it, you will definitely be able to expose his lies. It's just that Liu Liu Ruozai trusted him extremely and didn't doubt it at all, and he never thought that Dong Ce would dare to do such a thing.

Besides, there are so many big things at this time, and he doesn't have time to care about this. It's a big deal to break into the city, but since it's been wiped out, isn't it okay?

Liu Ruozai comforted Dong Ce a few words, and then Dong Ce said goodbye and left. When he returned to his residence, he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth when he saw the dozen or so carriages parked in the courtyard.

It seems that his character can make a fortune anywhere.

The amount of money he got from the Yang Mansion this time made him a little dumbfounded. There are as many as 50,000 taels of silver alone, and other gold and silver jewelry, gold and jade, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., are even more innumerable. It's just that it takes some time for these things to be converted into cash. According to conservative estimates, except for the cash, the value of all the property pulled on these dozen carts is definitely more than 200,000 taels.

Windfall! What a windfall!

And not only these, but also the 10,000 taels that were extorted before.

If the sale is relatively smooth and the price is better, these goods plus cash silver are likely to reach 300,000 taels.

Dong Ce sighed softly, and warned himself in his heart that in the future, if he could do this kind of thing, he would not do it. If you do too much of this kind of thing, it will definitely be easy to go wrong, maybe one day it will be exposed, and what awaits you at that time is the abyss!

In fact, Dong Ce has already restrained a lot, this time he didn't think about what to do with the Yang Mansion, but in the matter of recruiting people, the Yang Mansion is really not authentic. And it is impossible for Dong Ce to stay out of the matter, after being involved in this matter, it is not so easy to think about it. An existence like Yang Fu is arrogant, and if you offend him a little, he will want to kill you! Dong Ce knew in his heart that unless he kowtowed to the Yang Mansion and begged them to send Ding that day, as long as there was a slight conflict with them, they would put themselves to death! And with the character of the head of the Yang family who looks down on the military man so much, he is afraid that Dong Ce will kowtow to them.

That's why there is today's first-to-strike, first-to-start is strong.

The fire burned for two or three hours and was not extinguished until the afternoon. Fortunately, except for the Yang Mansion being burned to a white ground, the damage caused was not particularly large. The Yang Mansion acted domineeringly, and some time ago it planned to expand the house, so the people around the Yang Mansion had been driven away by their families, and the houses of other families had also been demolished, so naturally, a vacant land was formed around the Yang Mansion.

It was precisely because of this open space that the fire did not spread to the surrounding places, and those people who were forced to move away by the Yang Mansion that day could be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

Dong Ce went there to check in person, and only after making sure that there were no flaws left before leaving.

The Yang family is dead from top to bottom, and when the two officials who are outside get the news, they don't know when it happened.

Early in the morning of the second day, Dong Ce was woken up by the noise outside. In the midst of the noise, there seemed to be bursts of cheers, and he pushed the door out to take a look, and he couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face. Then, the expression of surprise turned into a smile.

It turned out that the intrusive army outside the city was slowly withdrawing. They were outnumbered, and they were not afraid that the officers and soldiers in the city would come out to pursue, so they swaggered without concealment. 、

An hour later, the army had disappeared without a trace, standing at the head of the south gate and looking into the distance, on the wilderness, there were many traces of the army that had been stationed here, but there was no one left.

The army has withdrawn!

The mountain that pressed on Dong Ce's heart, on the hearts of Liu Ruozai and others, and on the hearts of all the people in Chengcheng County, was finally removed.

Dong Ce let out a long sigh, and suddenly felt that his body was a little weak, as if he couldn't support it. He sat down on the steps, his face tilted and laughing.

"Damn! In this catastrophe, Lao Tzu survived! Lao Tzu not only kept this place, but also made such a great contribution! It's so comfortable, haha, comfortable! ”

It didn't take long for the news to spread, and the whole city was thrown into a carnival.

And the Yang Mansion recruited troops, and suffered from Zhurong, the whole mansion was killed by the army, and even the mansion was burned to the ground, which was already left behind by the people in a blink of an eye.

After Liu Ruozai got the news, he was expressionless and returned to the house without saying a word. It's just that he has never drunk much, but he got drunk that night and slept until three o'clock the next day.

Two days later, Liu Ruozai and others found the news that Qin Governor Hong Chengchou had led a large army back to Guanzhong and was heading towards Xi'an City, while Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, was recruiting rebels from all walks of life to fight to the death with Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou's sudden return to Shaanxi caught Dong Ce a little off guard, and some of his original plans had to be changed. For example, he originally planned to select some people who performed better, and after training for a while, he would use all kinds of means to pull them into his team, but now, obviously, it will not be.

With Hong Chengchou coming back and the situation stabilizing, Liu Ruozai will definitely leave as soon as possible, after all, he has been delayed here for too long.

Three days later, Liu Ruozai took Dong Ce and others, bid farewell to Li Keshou, and continued to move towards his goal.

After the team left the city, the flag was raised again and slowly moved forward. The county lord of Chengcheng is thin, and the acting magistrate Li Keshou is to take people out of the city to send them away.

This time, the losses of these people under Liu Ruozai can also be called heavy, there are only three people left in Bai Tianfu's department, and even Bai Tianfu himself died here. And after a series of fierce battles, there were only more than 150 people left under Tian Shi's subordinates, and even Dong Ce's family members lost five people in the battle after the sneak attack on the West City Gate that day.

For Dong Ce, this is already a very big loss, after all, the soldiers under him are not many, and it will be very distressing to lose one.

The most well-preserved is Xie Dingkun's department, they are responsible for guarding Liu Ruozai, and they don't go out easily, so none of them died. However, this is not necessarily a good thing, this time in Chengcheng County and the Chuang army are entangled and fiercely fought. Among the military attachés, there is no doubt that Dong Ce has the greatest credit, followed by Tian Shi. It is conceivable that Dong Ce and Tian Shi, as well as the officers under the two of them, will inevitably be promoted because of their performance in the battle of Chengcheng County.

Bai Tianfu died in battle, but his orphans will also be affected by him.

It's not that Xie Dingkun doesn't have any credit at all, after all, everyone has merit, and it is impossible not to give him a share of the profits, but compared to Dong Ce and Tian Shilai, it is too much worse. For example, if Dong Ce's credit is enough for him to be promoted to three levels in a row, then Xie Dingkun's credit makes it difficult for him to be promoted by half a level. Of course, this is just an analogy, after all, it is impossible for Dong Ce to be promoted to three levels in a row, but it can also be seen from this how big the difference in merit between the two is. In addition to the war dead, there were also some wounded and seriously injured people, Liu Ruozai directly left them in Chengcheng County, and entrusted Li Ke to be taken care of by good students. And those who were slightly injured, after a few days of recuperation, there was no big problem, so they continued to march west with the army.
