Chapter 166 Loss
The dark night was burned red by the flames, and the smell of thick smoke was pungent.
In front of Guanzhuang, the burnt smell of wheat made Xiao Mingxin cut it.
This is the food for the Qingzhou army for several months, and the food for several months.
"Your Highness!"
With a shout, a rapid sound of horse hooves came, and the cow ran, and Lu Fei came with the Qingzhou army.
"Who did this for killing Qiandao!" Lu Fei shouted frantically, rushed into the wheat field angrily, constantly stepping on the burning wheat.
The cow ran his face as deep as water. Seeing Xiao Ming looking extremely sad, he said, "Your Highness, now is not a time to be sad. Find a way to stop the flame from spreading, otherwise the wheat will be burned and will also affect the wheat fields of the nearby people."
Xiao Ming had just arrived. He came back from his anger and said, "Let all soldiers stop using water to put out the fire, and everyone immediately cut wheat along the edge of the burning wheat to establish a fire belt."
At this time, Niu Ben had no time to think about what a fire belt was. He ordered: "Everyone will go and harvest wheat."
At this time, Xiao Ming saw many people who were alarmed. He walked over and said, "Everyone, please help me with your help to control the flame."
A man said, "Your Highness, we have no choice but to do this."
After saying that, many people rushed into the wheat field immediately, arched their bodies and skillfully cut the wheat.
Another shouted: "I'll go to the village to find someone to help now."
This time the Qingzhou cavalry came, with a small number of people of only a thousand people, and the infantry was still behind. If they arrived, they would lose more. On the contrary, there were many villages nearby.
Niu Ben said, "Get on the horse, I'll take you there."
In order to save the wheat from Guanzhuang, Xiao Ming was not idle either and entered the wheat field with a knife.
Not long after, a hurry sounded, and the people from the neighboring village arrived one after another, and they immediately rushed into the sea of fire.
There were so many people who were so proficient in harvesting. The burning range of hundreds of meters was quickly surrounded. After another half an hour, the Qingzhou army infantry arrived and also joined the ranks of harvesting wheat.
Until early morning, the flames finally gradually faded away under the hindrance of the partition.
The blue smoke made the red sun in the morning loom, and at this time Xiao Ming's body was filled with the pungent smell of burning wheat straw.
"Your Highness, the 500 acres of land are finished." Lu Fei's face was black and white. This was smoked, and the same was true for other soldiers and the people.
The flame finally died out, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Five hundred acres." Xiao Ming repeated the sentence, "Five hundred acres, one thousand five hundred stones of grain."
But the problem now is not the problem of food, but who is so bold and now crazy, and is so ignorant that he is about to destroy Cangzhou's logistics in siege.
For him, this is treason, this is rebellion, and this is traitor! If such a person is not killed, it is not enough to quell the public's anger.
"Where are the soldiers guarding Guanzhuang last night?" Xiao Ming asked coldly.
Lu Fei was chilling all over his body. He felt a strong murderous intent from Xiao Ming, which was very different from Xiao Ming who was easy-going in daily life.
"Your Highness wants to punish the crime, so let's punish the crime of the last general. The last general is careless and will be burned by the thief." Lu Fei knelt down on one knee and apologized.
"Your Highness, this has nothing to do with the lieutenant. We were trapped by the traitor." At this time, more than a dozen soldiers knelt down immediately.
"All of you! I didn't say to cure you." Xiao Ming said, "I just want to know what happened?"
The scale of Guanzhuang is very large, and soldiers can only patrol in dispersed ways. If someone does it deliberately, they will not be able to prevent it no matter what.
"We were training last night, and suddenly a group of men in black touched the wheat field and lit the fire. We found that we immediately chased us. We didn't expect that there would be another group of men in black ambushing us. They set fire while we were chasing us. These men in black wanted to kill people in the chaos. Zhu Sansi was stabbed in the back, but he said that the man in black also made him cut his arm." A soldier said.
At this time, Xiao Ming noticed a soldier kneeling on the ground, and his back was full of red.
He sighed in his heart. How could he blame the soldiers who were injured and still robbed them all night? It was his fault if he was wrong.
I was so careless before the war.
He said, "You are Zhu Sansi. Since you are injured, you still don't go to the medical officer for treatment. Do you want your life?"
"Captain Lu said that this wheat is the life of the Qingzhou army." Zhu Sansi said dullly.
Xiao Ming was suffocated. Why worry that Qingzhou Army would not become the first heroic division with such soldiers? He said: "He just likes to fart blindly. Go and find a medical officer. The wheat will burn. I don't want to lose an excellent soldier."
Zhu Sansi's eyes felt warm, and King Qi's concern moved him.
Lu Fei smiled awkwardly and said to Zhu Sansi: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go to the medical officer?"
Zhu Sansi responded and walked out with the help of several soldiers.
Pang Yukun also rushed over last night, and he said, "Your Highness, Zhu Sansi said that someone was injured. Now, when you immediately search for anyone with an injured arm to capture this thief, otherwise these people will continue to cause trouble."
Xiao Ming nodded and said to Niu Ben: "Old General, you can't wait for this wheat. Let the soldiers harvest the wheat today. If it really doesn't work, it will be better to dry it up at that time than in the field."
As soon as he finished speaking, a commoner dressed up said, "Your Highness, since you want to harvest wheat, let us help you too. Your Highness has done so many things for the people, and now we should let us help you."
"Yes, we can't let the Qingzhou Army lose its food."
"It doesn't matter how many days later our wheat harvest."
“…”
The people said verbally.
Xiao Ming was moved in his heart. These people were just saying that Niu Ben. If you treat me as a national soldier, I will repay him with a national soldier. He was moved in his heart and said with a fist: "Thank you, thank you for everyone."
Pang Yukun smiled with a smile on his lips. Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. Now the people repay their kindness with virtue, which proves that the government orders these days have not been in vain.
Niu Ben looked at Xiao Ming deeply and shouted to the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army: "What are you waiting for? The people have all harvested rice. We cannot harvest less than them."
"Yes!" The roar of unison came, and the soldiers went to the fields to harvest.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ming felt relieved. For these lovely soldiers and for these lovely people, he would defend Cangzhou City even if he was crushed to pieces, so that the barbarians would no longer step into the fiefdom, and no longer let the people suffer from foreign tribes' ****.
Momo and Pang Yukun returned to the city. Xiao Ming ordered Qingzhou City and nearby prefectures and counties to immediately search for people with knife wounds on their arms, and those who report relevant clues will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.
At the same time, he urgently summoned Li San to the palace of Prince Qi.
