Iron Dynasty

The dark night was red with flames, and the smell of thick smoke was pungent.

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

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

Your Highness!

With a loud shout, a rush of hooves came, Niu ran, and Lu Fei came with the Qingzhou army.

Killing thousands of knives, who did this! Lu Fei shouted frantically, rushing into the wheat field angrily, and kept stepping on the burning wheat.

Niu Ben's face was sinking like water, seeing Xiao Ming's expression of extreme sadness, he said: Your Highness, now is not the time to be sad, think of a way to stop the flames from spreading, otherwise the wheat will be burnt out, and it will spread to the The cornfields of the people nearby.

Xiao Ming had just arrived. He 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 had no time to think about what a fire belt was at this time, and he ordered: Everyone go and cut the wheat.

At this time, Xiao Ming saw many people who were disturbed. He walked over and said, Everyone, please help this king to control the flames.

A man said, Your Highness, we are bound to do this.

After speaking, many people immediately rushed into the wheat field, bowed their bodies and cut the wheat skillfully.

Another shouted: I'm going to the village now to find help.

This time, the Qingzhou Army cavalry came here. There were only a few thousand people. The infantry was still behind. If they arrived, they would lose even 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 entered the wheat field with a knife.

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

There were so many people who were proficient in harvesting, and the burning area of ​​several hundred meters was quickly surrounded. After another half an hour, the Qingzhou Army infantry arrived and joined the ranks of harvesting wheat.

Until the early morning, the flame was finally extinguished by the separation belt.

The cyan smoke made the red sun in the morning looming, and Xiao Ming's body was filled with the pungent smoky smell of burning straw.

His Royal Highness, the five hundred acres of land are finished. Lu Fei's face was black and white, which was smoked, as were other soldiers and commoners.

The flame was finally extinguished, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Five hundred acres. Xiao Ming repeated, five hundred acres, fifteen hundred stone of grain. ‘

But the problem now is not the problem of food, but, who is so bold, and now insane, so disregarding the impending siege of the barbarians and destroying the logistics of Cangzhou.

For him, this is betrayal, this is treason, this is a traitor! If such a person does not kill, it is not enough for the people to be angry.

Where were the soldiers guarding the official village 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 peacetime.

His Royal Highness wants to punish the crime, just punish the crime of the last general. It is because the last general is negligent that the thieves will burn the wheat. Lu Fei knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty.

His Royal Highness, this has nothing to do with the captain. It's because we fell for the treachery of the thieves. At this time, a dozen soldiers knelt down immediately.

You all get up! This king didn't say anything about your sins. Xiao Ming said: I just want to know what happened?

The scale of the Guanzhuang is very large, and the soldiers can only patrol in a scattered manner.

We were training last night when suddenly a group of men in black touched the wheat and set it on fire. We found that we chased after him immediately. We never thought that another group of men in black was ambushing. The man in black wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill, but Zhu Sansi was stabbed in the back, but he said that the man in black also let him cut his arm, said a soldier.

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 soldier who was injured and still robbed all night, it was his own fault.

So careless before the battle.

He said, You're Zhu Sansi. Since you're injured and haven't gone to the medical officer for treatment, don't you want your life?

Xiaowei Lu said that this wheat is the life of the Qingzhou Army. Zhu Sansi said dumbly.

Xiao Ming was suffocated. With such a soldier, why would the Qingzhou Army not become the first heroic division, he said: He just likes to fart, go to the medical officer, the wheat will burn when it burns, this king doesn't want to lose a good one. soldiers.

Zhu Sansi's eyes were warm for a while, and King Qi's words of concern moved him.

Lu Fei laughed awkwardly, and said to Zhu Sansi, What are you still doing, you haven't gone to the doctor yet.

Zhu Sansi responded and walked out with the help of a few soldiers.

Pang Yukun also rushed over last night, and he said, Your Highness, Zhu Sansi said that someone was cut and wounded. Now we should immediately search for anyone with an injured arm to capture 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 any longer. Let the soldiers collect the wheat today. It's better than drying it when it's not enough.

As soon as his words fell, a commoner dressed up and said, Your Highness, since you want to harvest wheat, let us help too. Your Highness has done so many things for the common 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 how late our wheat is harvested a few days later.

...

The people said in a loud voice.

Xiao Ming was moved in his heart, these people just responded to Niu Ben's words, you treat me with a countryman, and I will repay it with a countryman. He was moved, and clasped his fists and said, Thank you all, thank you very much.

Pang Yukun has a smile on his lips, whoever wins the hearts and minds of the people wins the world, and now the people repay virtue with virtue, proving that the decrees these days are not 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 rice, we can't cut less than them.

Yes! The roar of unison came, and the soldiers went down to the fields to harvest.

Seeing such a scene, Xiao Ming felt relieved. For the sake of these lovely soldiers and these lovely people, even if his body was torn to pieces, he would still defend Cangzhou City, and no longer let the barbarians step into the fiefdom, and no longer let the people suffer from foreign violence. ***.

Momo and Pang Yukun returned to the city, Xiao Ming ordered Qingzhou City and the nearby counties to immediately search for those who suffered stab wounds on the arm, and those who reported relevant clues were rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.

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