It was almost evening, and Asi went to the inn where Xiao Hu saw it and entered the door: "This village is not small, and it has lived in many nearby people, and the food and grass are really abundant. This time, we don't have to worry about five or six days. But before we came, we leaked the news, and the people fled, and the gold, silver and fine materials were taken away by them. The village carefully searched, but there were no treasures."

Han Jianu said, "What a pity! It's really unwilling to be able to find money and property in such a big village!"

Xiao Hu saw the eyes flashing, and he was there just drinking and not talking.

Asi sat down at the table, took a sip of wine, and said, "General, it's getting late, should we set off?"

Xiao Hujiu said, "Just just now, there was no Song army within five miles. Since it was almost dark, why should we rush to leave? Stay in this village for one night and leave tomorrow. Even if the Song army chased us, how can we catch up with us?"

Han Jianu said: "What I mean is that it is better to have a good sleep in this village. After resting well, I will leave tomorrow. These days, the men have worked hard to walk and finally break through a large village. They should eat and drink well and have a comfortable rest."

Xiao Hu ordered the soldiers to pour wine into the two bowls, raised the bowl and said, "Come on, let's drink a bowl! With food and grass, there will be no trouble!"

The three of them drank, put down the bowl, and ate the meat together.

Xiao Hujiu said: "After a while, the men were full of wine and food, let them stand by the village and guard the reed marsh. Then light a fire. It's cold at night, let the Song people hidden inside warm up!"

Han Jianu and A Si were stunned, and then understood what Xiao Huji meant and applauded together.

Asi said: "The general's plan is really wonderful! Those Song people hid in the reed marsh with gold, silver and fine softness. We set a fire in the reeds to see that they can still hide it! As long as people come out, the property is not ours?"

The more they thought about it, they became more and more wonderful, and they praised each other. They poured wine into the bowl, praised Xiao Hu to watch and drank a big gulp.

Shi Daqing took his troops along the main road to Daliushu Village. This is the road to Zhaozhou, which is usually very prosperous. However, the Khitans have been making a big fuss recently, and there are few pedestrians on the road now. Many of the villages passing by were warned by Wu Han, and the villagers had already avoided them.

After walking more than ten miles, the sun sets and the sky begins to darken.

Li Jia said: "Dianzhi, look at it dark and there is no moon at night. Should I rest for a night and leave tomorrow morning?"

Shi Daqing said: "Just just now, the detective cavalry came to report and found Khitan cavalry near Daliushu Village. I was afraid that the Khitans would know, so I didn't get close to see it. In my opinion, the Khitans should still be in Daliushu Village. They are cavalry and we are infantry. If we fight during the day, it will be difficult to surround them in the local area. We should be raiding them at night. The so-called moon-black killing night is at this time!"

Li Jia had no choice but to follow everyone and continue moving forward.

Wu Han and two strong men followed the army and were overjoyed when they were dark or camping. There were countless relatives and friends there. As long as the army was in a hurry, they would not bother to entangle the Khitans, at least they could save the villagers.

Xiao Hu turned his head and watched the bright red sun slowly set down the mountain. The night wind blew, making the reed marsh in front of him rustled.

He nodded to A Si on the side. A Si said sternly: "Light up! Burn all the reeds here, see how long Song will hide it in it!"

The soldiers responded loudly and lit the reeds with the torch in their hands. At this time, the reeds had already dried up and were about to see the fire. In just a blink of an eye, the fire was already strong and red.

The night wind blew the fire, and the fire quickly boiled in the reed marsh with the wind. A group of Khitan soldiers held steel knives and guarded several intersections of the pond, watching the fire with a smile.

In a short while, cries came from the reed marsh. At this time, the water in the pond was frozen, and the villagers hiding inside ran away, making a mess for a while. The Khitan soldiers saw on the shore that as long as the shore approached, they would kill them with one knife and go up to search for money.

Xiao Huji looked at him and smiled with a cold face. These days, he has brought more than a thousand people and fled everywhere. The pressure is actually very high. He burned all the village tonight and let his subordinates vent his vent.

Several soldiers jumped onto the ice with steel knives and killed a few Song people close to the shore. They picked up their bags, went to the shore, opened them to watch. Seeing some golden hairpins and golden hairpins inside, they couldn't help but be overjoyed and watched them there.

Xiao Hujiu said, "Tell the army that all the robbed property must be handed over to the army and divided according to military merits. The Song people in the reeds are already lambs to be slaughtered, and their property will belong to us sooner or later. They will stay in this village for a night, and they will never be empty-handed."

The generals around them made promises together and smiled and ordered their subordinates.

Asi said, "The general is really wise and came up with this clever plan! These Song people thought that we would not be able to find it if we hid in the reeds. But they didn't want to have a fire, and they would still come out. If there was a blind eye, they could only turn into ashes inside!"

Xiao Hujiu said, "That's true. After robbing this village, we went to Zhaozhou. There was a large county in the Song Dynasty, and there was no large army, which was just right for us to surround us. After a few days of leisure, when the army headed south and the Song army was in chaos, which one would still take care of us. At that time, we would join the army and we would have made great contributions."

Asi said it was. Since he saw Xiao Hu through the river, he felt that he was very powerful and had underestimated him before. He went around the Song army, but the Song army could not even catch a shadow.

After watching for a while, Xiao Hujiu said, "Let the Erlang stay here and we go back to drink. We have been camping in the wild these days, and we are really tired. I have been drinking tonight, so I have a good sleep and set off tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he took Han Jianu and A Si a few senior generals, returned to the village and went to the inn to drink. Although the inn was small, there were all places to eat and sleep, which was a good place to go.

At this time, the fire spread, and the Song people inside could not hide and ran around. There were crying everywhere, which was a tragic phenomenon on earth. As long as the Khitans on the shore saw those close to the shore, they rushed down and cut them down and snatched their property.

Five miles away, Shi Daqing led his army all the way. Seeing the flames soaring into the sky from afar, he couldn't help but stop and said, "Where is the fire?"

Sun Tao said: "I heard from the elder Wu Han that when we arrived here, there should be only Daliushu Village in the south. Could it be that the Khitans set fire?"

Li Jia said: "It must be. If they snatch the village, how could they not burn it all?"

Sun Tao said: "No. Now setting the fire is set, obviously they have not left yet. Since they live in the village, why are they setting the fire now? Shouldn't they sleep all night tonight and burn the house tomorrow morning? Now it's burning, where will they sleep at night?"

Several people couldn't figure it out and were watching the fire in the distance.

At this moment, Wu Han came over from behind and cried to Shi Daqing: "General, go and save the villagers!"

Shi Daqing said: "We are also discussing whether Daliu Shu Village is on fire."

Wu Han wiped his eyes: "It must be that the village has caught fire. From here, there is only Daliushu Village, where can I see it any further? When I left the village, I asked someone to take the people in the village to hide it in the reed marsh outside the village. It must be that the Khitan saw it and set fire to the reeds."
