Chapter 167

The dark night was red by fire, and the smell of smoke was pungent.

In front of the land of Guanzhuang, the smell of wheat scorched Xiao Ming's heart.

This is the grain of the Qingzhou army for several months.

"Your Highness!"

A shout, a burst of rapid horseshoe sound came, Niu Zhen, Lu Fei with Qingzhou army.

"Kill thousand swords, who did it!" Luffy cried out crazily. He rushed into the wheat field angrily and kept stepping on the burning wheat.

Niu Zhen's face was as deep as water. Seeing Xiao Ming's extremely sad appearance, he said: "Your Highness, it's not the time to be sad. Try to find a way to stop the spread of the flame, or the wheat will be burned up, and it will affect the wheat fields of the nearby people."

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 cuts wheat along the edge of the burning wheat to build a fire belt."

Niu Zhen had no time to think about the fire belt at this time. He ordered, "everyone go to cut wheat."

At this time, Xiao Ming saw many people who were shocked. He went over and said, "please help me to control the fire."

A man said, "Your Highness, we are duty bound."

With that, many people immediately rushed into the wheat field, arched their bodies and skillfully cut the wheat.

Another yelled, "I'll go to the village now and get help."

The cavalry of Qingzhou army came here this time. There were only a few thousand soldiers. The infantry were still behind. If they arrived, they would lose more. On the contrary, there were many villages nearby.

Niu Zhen said, "mount, I'll take you."

In order to save the wheat in Guanzhuang, Xiao Ming is not idle. He enters the wheat field with a knife.

Not long after, a rush of footsteps sounded, and people from neighboring villages rushed to the scene. They immediately rushed into the sea of fire.

With so many people proficient in harvesting, the burning area of several hundred meters was quickly surrounded. Half an hour later, the infantry of Qingzhou army arrived and joined in the wheat harvesting.

Until early in the morning, the flame was finally stopped by the partition.

The blue smoke makes the red sun in the morning looming. At this time, Xiao Ming's body is full of the pungent smell of burning straw.

"Your Highness, five hundred acres are over." Lu Fei's face was black and white. It was smoked, and so were other soldiers and common people.

At last the flame went out, and they were greatly relieved.

"Five hundred mu." Xiao Ming repeated, 500 mu, 1500 stone grain. "

however, the problem now is not about food, but who is so bold and crazy that he ignores the barbarian siege and destroys Cangzhou's logistics.

To him, this is treason, treason and traitor! If such people are not killed, it is not enough to calm the people's anger.

"Where were the soldiers guarding the village last night?" Xiao Ming asked coldly.

Lu Fei feels chilly all over his body. He feels a strong sense of killing from Xiao Ming, which is a peaceful and easygoing Xiao Ming.

"Your Highness, if you want to punish him, you should punish the last general. It's the last general's carelessness that makes the wheat burned by the thieves." Lu Fei knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty.

"Your Highness, this has nothing to do with the captain. It's the treacherous scheme of the bandits." At this time, a dozen soldiers knelt down.

"Get up, all of you! The king did not say that he would punish you. " "I just want to know what happened," said Xiao Ming

The scale of Guanzhuang is so large that soldiers can only patrol separately. If someone deliberately does it, they can't be prevented in any case.

"Last night, we were training when a group of people in black touched the wheat spot and caught fire. We found that they immediately chased it. We didn't expect another group of people in black to ambush us. They set fire while we were chasing. These people in black wanted to kill people in disorder. Zhu Sansi was stabbed in the back, but he said that the man in black also let him cut his arm." Said one of the soldiers.

At this time, Xiao Ming noticed a soldier kneeling on the ground. His back was red.

He sighed in his heart. How could he blame the wounded soldiers who had been snatching away all night? It was his own fault.

So careless before the war.

He said: "you are Zhu Sansi. Since you are injured, you don't want to go to the doctor for treatment. Don't you want to die?"

"Captain Lu said that this wheat is the life of the Qingzhou army." Zhu Sansi said dully.

Xiao Ming smothers him. Why worry that Qingzhou army won't become the first grand division when there are such soldiers? He says, "he likes to fart. Go to the doctor quickly. If the wheat burns, it will burn. I don't want to lose an excellent soldier."

Zhu's eyes were warm, and the king of Qi's words moved him.

Lu Fei laughed awkwardly twice and said to Zhu Sansi, "what are you doing? You don't want to go to the doctor."

Zhu answered and walked out with the help of several soldiers.Pang Yukun came here last night, and he said, "Your Highness, Zhu Sansi said that someone was cut and wounded. Now we should search anyone with injured arm immediately and catch the rebel, otherwise these people will continue to make trouble."

Xiao Ming nodded. He said to Niu Zhen, "old general, the wheat can't wait. Let the soldiers collect the wheat today. It's really no good. It's better to dry the wheat at that time than in the field."

As soon as his voice fell, one of the people dressed up and said, "Your Highness, since you want to collect wheat, let's help. Your Highness has done so many things for the people, now it's time for us to help your highness."

"Yes, we can't let the Qingzhou army run out of grain."

"It doesn't matter if we harvest wheat a few days later."

“……”

The common people said.

Xiao Ming was moved in his heart. These people just answered Niu Zhen's words. If you treat me as a national, I will repay you as a national. He was moved in his heart and said, "thank you very much, thank you very much."

Pang Yukun has a smile on his lips. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Now the people repay virtue with virtue, which proves that the decrees of these days are not in vain.

Niu Zhen took a deep look at Xiao Ming and yelled to the soldiers of Qingzhou army, "what are you waiting for? The people are cutting rice. We can't cut less than them."

"Yes The roar came in unison, and the soldiers went down to harvest.

Seeing such a scene, Xiao Ming was relieved. For the sake of these lovely soldiers and the lovely people, even if they were broken to pieces, he would keep Cangzhou City, and would not let the barbarians step into the fiefdom any more, and would not let the people suffer from the persecution of foreigners.

Quietly and Pang Yukun return to the city, Xiao Ming orders Qingzhou City and nearby counties to immediately search for people whose arms have been stabbed, and those who report relevant clues will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.

At the same time, he called Li San to the palace of king Qi.
