In front of the land of Guanzhuang, the burnt smell of wheat made Xiao Ming's heart like a knife.

This is the food of the Qingzhou Army for several months, and the food for several months.

"Your Highness!"

A shout, a hurried sound of horses' hooves came, Niu Ben, Lu Fei arrived with the Qingzhou army.

"Kill a thousand knives, who did this!" Lu Fei shouted frantically, angrily rushed into the wheat field, and kept stepping on the burning wheat.

Niu Ben's face sank like water, and seeing Xiao Ming's extremely sad look, he said: "Your Highness, now is not the time to be sad, quickly find a way to stop the spread of this flame, otherwise this wheat will be burned out, and it will also affect the wheat fields of the nearby people." ”

Xiao Ming, who had also just arrived, recovered from his anger and said, "Let all the soldiers stop using water to fight the fire, and everyone immediately cut the wheat along the edge of the burning wheat to build a firebreak." ”

Niu Ben didn't have time to think about what a firebreak was, so he ordered: "Everyone go and 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, "Your Highness, we are duty-bound on this matter. ”

After saying this, many people immediately rushed into the wheat field, arched their bodies and skillfully cut the wheat.

Another shouted, "I'll go to the village now and find someone to help." ”

This time it was the cavalry of the Qingzhou army that came, the number was not large, 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'll take you there." ”

In order to save the wheat in Guanzhuang, Xiao Ming was not idle, and also entered the wheat field with a knife.

After a while, a hurried footsteps sounded, and the people of the neighboring villages rushed one after another, and they immediately rushed into the fire.

There were more people who were so proficient in harvesting, and the burning range within a radius of several hundred meters was quickly fenced, and after another half an hour, the infantry of the Qingzhou Army arrived and also joined the ranks of cutting wheat.

It wasn't until early in the morning that the flames were finally extinguished by the divider.

The cyan smoke made the red sun of the early morning loom over, and Xiao Ming's body was filled with the pungent smell of burning wheat straw.

"Your Highness, five hundred acres of land are over." Lu Fei's face was black and white, this was smoked, and the other soldiers and civilians were the same.

The flames were finally extinguished, and they were relieved.

"Five hundred acres." Xiao Ming repeated, five hundred acres, 1,500 stone of grain. ‘

But the problem now is not the problem of food, but who is so bold and so frenzied now, so disregarding the barbarian attack on the city and destroying the logistics of Cangzhou.

For him, this is traitor, this is rebellion, this is traitor! If such people are not killed, it is not enough to be angry with the people.

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

Lu Fei felt a chill all over his body, and he felt a strong killing intent from Xiao Ming, which was very different from the easy-going Xiao Ming in normal days.

"Your Highness wants to punish the crime, just punish the crime of the last general, it is the last general's negligence that will be burned by the thieves." Lu Fei knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty.

"Your Highness, this has nothing to do with the captain, we have fallen for the tricks of the thieves." At this time, a dozen soldiers followed and knelt down.

"Get up, all of you. And this king has not said to cure your sins. Xiao Ming said: "I just want to know what happened? ”

The scale of the official village is very large, and the soldiers can only disperse patrols, and if someone deliberately does it, they can't prevent it anyway.

"Last night we were training, suddenly a group of men in black touched the wheat and lit a fire, we found that we immediately chased over, never thought that there was another group of men in black ambush, they took advantage of the time when we chased out, these men in black also 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 cut 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, how could he blame the soldiers who were injured and still robbed all night, it was his own fault if he was wrong.

Such negligence before the battle.

He said: "You are Zhu Sansi, since you are injured and you don't go to the medical officer for treatment, don't you want your life?" ”

"Captain Lu said that this wheat is the life of the Qingzhou Army." Zhu Sansi said solemnly.

Xiao Ming was suffocated, there are such soldiers, why worry that the Qingzhou Army will not become the first male division, he said: "He likes to fart blindly, go to the medical officer, the wheat will be burned when it is burned, this king does not want to lose an excellent soldier." ”

Zhu Sansi's eyes were warm, and King Qi's words of concern moved his heart.

Lu Fei laughed awkwardly twice, and said to Zhu Sansi: "What are you doing in a daze, don't go to the medical officer yet." ”

Zhu Sansi answered, and walked out with the support of several soldiers.

Pang Yukun also rushed over last night, and he said: "Your Highness, Zhu Sansi said that someone was slashed, now we should immediately search for anyone with an injured arm and arrest this traitor, otherwise these people will continue to make trouble." ”

Xiao Ming nodded, and he said to Niu Ben: "Old general, this wheat can't wait, let the soldiers collect the wheat today, it's really not good to dry it again when the time comes, it's better than in the ground." ”

As soon as his words fell, a common man dressed as a person said: "Your Highness, since you want to harvest wheat, let us also help, Your Highness has done so many things for the people, and now it is time for us to help Your Highness." ”

"Yes, we 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 babblingly.

Xiao Ming was moved in his heart, these people responded to Niu Ben's words, the king treats me as a countryman, I will repay him with a countryman, he was moved in his heart, hugged his fists and said: "Thank you, thank you." ”

Pang Yukun smiled at the corner of his mouth, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and now the people repay virtue with virtue, proving that the decrees of these days have not been in vain.

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 the rice, we can't cut less than them." ”

"Yes!" A roar of anger was heard, and the soldiers went down to the fields to harvest.

Seeing such a scene, Xiao Ming was relieved, for the sake of these lovely soldiers, and for the sake of these lovely people, even if he was broken, he would defend Cangzhou City, no longer let this barbarian step into the fiefdom, and no longer let the people suffer from the **** of foreign races.

Silently and Pang Yukun returned to the city, Xiao Ming ordered Qingzhou City and nearby states and counties to immediately search for people with knife wounds on their arms, and anyone who reported relevant clues would be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.

At the same time, he urgently summoned Li San to the palace of the King of Qi.
