Chapter 166: loss

The dark night was red with flames, and the smell of thick smoke was pungent.
In front of the Guanzhuang site, bursts of burnt smell of wheat made Xiao Ming feel like a knife.
This is the grain of the Qingzhou Army for several months, and the grain for several months.
"Your Highness!"
There was a loud shout, a rush of horseshoes came, Niu Ben, Lu Fei brought the Qingzhou army.
"The one who killed a thousand knives, who did it!" Lu Fei shouted frantically, rushing into the wheat field angrily, and kept stepping on the burning wheat.
Niu Ben's face sank like water. Seeing Xiao Ming's extremely distressed look, he said: "His Royal Highness, now is not the time to be sad, so quickly figure out how to stop this flame from spreading, otherwise the wheat will be burned out, and it will spread. The wheat fields of the people nearby."
Xiao Ming also just arrived. He recovered from his anger and said, "Let all soldiers stop using water to put out the fire. Everyone immediately cut wheat along the edge of the burning wheat to build a fire belt."
At this time, Niu Ben had no time to think about what a fire belt is. He ordered: "Everyone is going to cut the wheat."
Xiao Ming saw a lot of people who were alarmed at this time. He walked over and said, "Everyone, please help this king to control this flame."
A man said: "His Royal Highness, we are obliged to do this."
After speaking, many people immediately rushed into the wheat field, arched their bodies and cut the wheat expertly.
Another shouted: "I will go to the village to find someone to help."
This time came the Qingzhou Army cavalry. The number was only a thousand, 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 will take you."
In order to save the wheat in Guanzhuang, Xiao Ming was not idle, and entered the wheat field with a knife.
Not long after, a rush of hurried footsteps sounded, and the people from neighboring villages rushed into the fire.
Suddenly there were more people so proficient in harvesting, and the burning range of several hundred meters was quickly surrounded. After another half an hour, the Qingzhou Army infantry arrived and joined the ranks of wheat harvesting.
Until the early morning, the flame was finally extinguished under the barrier of the separation zone.
The cyan smoke made the red sun looming in the early morning. At this time, Xiao Ming's body was full of the pungent smell of burning straw.
"His Royal Highness, the five hundred mu of land is over." Lu Fei's face was black and white. It was smoked, and the other soldiers and people were the same.
The flame finally went out, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Five hundred acres." Xiao Ming repeated, five hundred acres and 1,500 shi of grain. ‘
But the problem now is not the issue of food, but who is so bold, now frantic, so disregarding the barbarian siege is about to destroy the logistics of Cangzhou.
To him, this is traitorous, rebellious, and traitor! Not killing such people is not enough for civilians to be angry.
"Where are the soldiers guarding Guanzhuang last night?" Xiao Ming asked coldly.
Lu Fei's body was chilly, and he felt a strong killing intent from Xiao Ming, which was very different from Xiao Ming who was easy-going in the daytime.
"His Royal Highness wants to punish the crime, just punish the last general's crime, it is the last general's negligence that the thief burns the wheat." Lu Fei knelt down on one knee and pleaded.
"His Royal Highness, this has nothing to do with the school lieutenant, it's the trick we got in the trouble." At this moment, a dozen soldiers knelt down.
"You all get up! This king didn't say to punish you." Xiao Ming said, "I just want to know what happened?"
The scale of the Guanzhuang is so large that the soldiers can only patrol them separately. If someone deliberately does it, they can't prevent it.
"Last night we were training. Suddenly a group of people in black touched the Mai’s spot and caught fire. We found out that we chased it. We never thought that there would be another group of people in black in ambush. They set fire when we chased them out. The man in black wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill, Zhu Sansi was stabbed in the back, but he said that the man in black also let him chop his arm." A soldier said.
At this time, Xiao Ming noticed a soldier kneeling on the ground, his back was red.
He sighed in his heart, and how he could blame the soldier who was injured and still snatched it all night, it was his fault.
So negligent before the battle.
He said: "You are Zhu Sansi. Since you are injured, don't you go to the medical officer for treatment, don't you die?"
"Lieutenant Lu said, this wheat is the life of the Qingzhou Army." Zhu Sansi said dumbly.
Xiao Ming suffocated. With such a soldier, the Qingzhou Army would not become the first hero. He said: "He likes to fart, go to the medical officer, the wheat is burned, and the king does not want to lose a good one. Soldiers."
Zhu Sansi's eyes were warm, and Qi Wang's words of concern moved him.
Lu Fei laughed awkwardly, and said to Zhu Sansi: "What are you still doing? I'm not going to the medical officer."
Zhu Sansi responded and walked out with the support of a few soldiers.
Pang Yukun also rushed over last night, and he said: "His Royal Highness, Zhu Sansi said that someone had been chopped up. Now you should immediately search for anyone with an arm injury and catch this rebel, otherwise these people will continue to make trouble."
Xiao Ming nodded, and he said to Niu Ben: "Old General, this wheat can't wait anymore. Let the soldiers harvest the wheat today. It's hard to get the wheat in the air. It's better than in the ground."
As soon as he finished his words, one of the people dressed up and said: "His Royal Highness, since we want to harvest wheat, let us also help. Your Highness has done so many things for the people, and now we should also help Your Highness."
"Yes, you can't let the Qingzhou Army's food run out."
"It doesn't matter if our wheat is harvested a few days later."
"..."
The people said rushingly.
Xiao Ming was touched in his heart~EbookFREE.me~ These people just responded to Niu Ben’s words, the king treats me as a scholar, and I will repay it as a scholar. He was moved in his heart and said with a fist, "Thank you all, thank you all." ."
Pang Yukun's mouth is smiling, and those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Now the people repay virtue by virtue, which proves that the decree these days have not been wasted.
Niu Ben took a deep look at Xiao Ming, and shouted to the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army: "What are you waiting for? The people have already cut rice. We can't cut less than them."
"Yes!" roared in unison, and the soldiers went down to harvest.
Seeing such a scene, Xiao Ming felt relieved that for these lovely soldiers and for these lovely people, even if he was crushed to pieces, he still had to guard Cangzhou City, and would no longer allow this barbaric clan to step into the fief, and would no longer expose the people to foreign clan.
Silently and Pang Yukun returned to the city. Xiao Ming ordered Qingzhou City and the nearby counties to immediately search for people who had their arms wounded. Those who reported relevant clues would be rewarded with silver.
At the same time, he hurriedly summoned Li San to the Qi Palace.
