Xiahoudun led the army non-stop, and just arrived at the Xinye Realm, he suddenly saw the red light in the southern sky, and wondered: "Strange, what happened?"

The deputy general Qin Qi also saw the difference, and said to Xiahoudun: "General Han Hao's men and horses have been in An'an for many days, could it be that they are fighting with Liu Biaojun at this moment?"

"No!" Xiahoudun frowned and thought for a while, "According to the report, there has been no sign of the transfer of troops and horses in Xiangyang and Fancheng, Han Hao came to Anzhong for the first time, if Wancheng wants to communicate with Liu Biao, it is impossible not to pass through Xinye, this is the nearest path, and Han Hao has not sent back any special news these days, which means that we have successfully blocked the situation in Wancheng, and Liu Biao is still in the dark!"

Qin Qi smiled: "Having said that, how can the situation ahead be explained?"

As he spoke, the herald reported: "General Qiyu, there are many graves and offerings in the dense forest ahead, and the fire is likely to be caused by accident when people worship!"

"Eh! I hear about such a thing every year, but I didn't expect to be bumped into this year!" Xia Houdun smiled, and then smiled again, "It's been a long time since I went back to my hometown to worship my ancestors, I'm really ashamed!"

Qin Qi persuaded him: "The general attaches great importance to the world, and the ancestors have spirits, so they must be able to understand the general's hardships!"

"Well, after Meng De calms down the world, I can't miss it anymore!" Xiahou raised the whip in his hand and whipped it the mount, the horse was in pain, and carried the master away, "But I must first ask Meng De to issue a ban, don't burn paper money on the Qingming Festival in the future, how many years will these trees grow to become mature, and they will become ashes in an instant!"

Qin Qi also followed closely, and at the same time ordered some soldiers to hurry up to help put out the fire. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

For a while, the Qingzhou soldiers were busy, and there happened to be a tributary flowing into the water at the edge of the dense forest, but the problem arose, there was no tool to take water.

The soldiers reported the situation to Xiahoudun, who ordered the leader of the gang to take out all the buckets, but only a dozen buckets were made, and all of them could only hold two or three buckets of wooden barrels, which was a drop in the bucket.

"Qin Qi, you take some soldiers to quickly go to the nearby village to borrow some wooden barrels, I'm afraid that the fire in this forest will not be extinguished if it's too late!"

After hearing this, Qin Qi immediately took a few hundred Qingzhou soldiers to the nearby villages and towns.

"The cavalry dismounted, put the existing wooden barrels on the horseback, and fetched water from the river to put out the fire as fast as possible!" Xia Houdun saw that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and immediately ordered.

"No!"

All of a sudden, the army was busy, because most of these soldiers had been Tuntian soldiers when they were in Xudu, and before surrendering to Cao Cao, these Qingzhou soldiers were farmers who farmed, so these jobs were quite handy.

"General, the fire is very strong, but how can it be good!"

Xia Houdun had already let the fireworks smoke all over the body black, if people were not careful, they thought it was a piece of charcoal, he stood next to a bush that had just been extinguished, and commanded the soldiers who were carrying water to fight the fire: "Listen, now we can't extinguish the entire mountain fire, you are optimistic about the direction of the wind, let me start from the downwind direction, small piece by piece! Even if we can't extinguish all the mountain fires, at least we can't let it continue to spread!"

"The general is really clever, let's do it!"

"What's the wind right now?"

"General Qiyu, it's the southwest wind direction!"

"The wind direction in Jingzhou is really fickle, the southwest wind blows in the spring, everyone listens, they all face the southwest direction to extinguish the fire, and cut down the trees in the downwind direction to make a vacancy, the fire is burned out, there is nothing to burn, and it will naturally be extinguished!" Xiahoudun said, remembering the same experience that Cao Cao encountered at the foot of Mount Tai three years ago, and the mountain fire was so self-extinguished.

The soldiers all obeyed the order and went to carry out the order, and Xiahoudun asked the guide officer beside him: "Qin Qi, how long have they been there?"

The guide officer replied: "General Hui, General Qin has been gone for more than three hours!"

Xiahoudun frowned: "It's been so long, why haven't you come back yet!"

At this time, Qin Qi was leading the soldiers into a village, knocking on the door door, and hundreds of Qingzhou soldiers entered the village late at night, and for a while they could get chickens and dogs jumping everywhere, and everyone was frightened.

When the people saw the officers and soldiers who suddenly appeared, they were already frightened, thinking that Qin Qi was here to arrest the strong man, so the women hurriedly let their sons and husbands either climb over the wall or escape through the back door, so the people who came to open the door were some women and young girls who were quite good-looking.

A few soldiers had already looked at their greed, so they remembered many people's homes, and although they pretended to greet each other, they ate a lot of tofu and took a lot of advantage, and finally not only borrowed a lot of buckets from the civilian homes, but more of them almost turned their homes upside down, but they didn't dig three feet into the ground.

"Sir, this is the last few buckets of corn left in the villain's house, you have to take it, how can we orphans and widows live!" cried a woman who grabbed a few soldiers who were carrying her rice bags.

"Let go, the fire is raging now, and you won't be able to keep your village too late, let alone hungry!" said one soldier viciously.

The woman still didn't let go: "My lord, now the green and yellow are not accepted, last year was a famine year, there are only these harvests at home, you love the people like a son, your lord, you have not committed any crimes in autumn, your lordship, you are the teacher of benevolence......"

"Don't come to give me these high hats to my uncle! Uncle, I charge on the battlefield all day long and are reluctant to live and die, so that you can enjoy the blessings at home, what is it to take these grains and grass now? I tell you that I am not exaggerating to give you the little lady you to the uncle, how can I fight for you if I can't eat enough?"

At this time, the woman's little daughter rushed over and bit the back of another soldier's hand, and the soldier was in pain, threw the little girl into the distance, drew her knife and scolded with hatred: "You are looking for death!"

Seeing her little daughter being thrown away like a leaf, the woman couldn't help but exclaim, let go of her hand that grabbed the rice bag, stepped forward to help her daughter, and cried out: "Ying'er, are you okay, wake up, don't scare your mother!"

Ying'er woke up slowly, looked at the backs of those fierce Qingzhou soldiers, and cried hoarsely: "You robbers! You beasts! You pigs and dogs are not as good as things!"

The soldiers, who had already walked away, heard the voice of the warbler, and sneered at each other: "Brothers, this little girl scolds us!

"Do you need to talk about that?" everyone stared at the tearful mother and daughter on the ground and laughed evilly, "This girl is not young, this woman is even more extraordinary, we haven't opened meat for several months, it's better to fight quickly now!"

"You're just going to fight quickly, but I'm going to fight for a long time!" said one guy unconvinced, and everyone laughed.

"What are you going to do?" asked the woman, frightened, when she saw some of the soldiers coming back with bad intentions.

But when they did not speak, they rushed over and stripped the woman naked—

"Ah!" the stripped woman screamed, never expecting that she, who had been talking to her husband a few hours ago, would now be humiliated like this, and she knew that there was more to await her.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"What are you doing?" Qin Qi, who was holding a bow and arrow, walked in with an angry face, and when he saw the scene in the courtyard, he asked angrily.

When the woman saw Qin Qi coming in, she immediately called for help: "General help, general help!"

Qin Qi stepped forward angrily, drew his sword in his hand and asked everyone: "Let you come to borrow the people's buckets, but you take the opportunity to rob * rob the property, and still want to do filthy deeds, don't you?"

Several people immediately let go of the mother and daughter, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The general spares his life, read that I am waiting for the first offender, just let us go, we will definitely wear a crime on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions!"

Qin Qi was about to speak, only to hear a chaotic sound not far away, Qin Qi frowned, knowing that there were still soldiers who were also robbing property, and said to the soldiers who followed behind: "Tie up all these people, let me check the rest, and whoever else robbed the property, tie them up together, and go back to General Xiahou to send them down!"

"No!"

The soldiers agreed in unison, immediately took out the ropes, tied these people strongly, Qin Qi took off the cloak and covered the woman, helped her up and said apologetically: "Let the lady be frightened, I will naturally send them down after these people go back, but the fire in the south is urgent, I must leave in the next, farewell!"

The woman was like a cloud in the fog, and by the time she reacted, Qin Qi had already led her own soldiers to escort those people away, and only the cloak on her body reminded her that what happened just now was not a dream.

Ying'er said to the woman: "Mother, that general is a good person!"

"Well, it's a good person!" the woman looked at the corn bag that Qin Qi ordered her soldiers to return to her, and muttered, "A good person will be rewarded!"

At this moment, Qin Qi was riding on a horse, holding a horsewhip in his hand and whipping the soldiers who were tied together by a rope from time to time: "Thirty-five, thirty-six, thirty-seven, thirty-eight! Thirty-eight! There are thirty-eight! I only brought a total of three hundred people here, and borrowed more than twenty buckets, and there were more bastards out of you, more than the wooden barrels that I borrowed! It's a shame to have you scum in the Qingzhou soldiers!"

Those soldiers knew that they were in the wrong, and they lowered their heads one by one and kept silent, but they exchanged glances at each other, as if there was some conspiracy.

A personal soldier said to Qin Qi: "General, the business is important, you can't be angry with these people, they haven't been like this for a day or two, this time it's just to find out, General Xiahou will definitely not let them go!"

Qin Qi said: "I'll leave you with more than a dozen people to escort behind, and I'll take people back to help General Xiahou first!"

"No! General rest assured!"
