The quick reaction immediately said in a loud voice: "It's not good, this is a clay pot, and there is arsenic ...... inside." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

But before his words fell, the nearby sounds were connected, and more than a hundred loud noises came from within a range of dozens of feet behind the city wall more than ten miles long, and countless black shadows rose into the air. The people on the city wall did not dare to shoot arrows again after gaining experience, so as not to expand the range of damage, but these clay pots that were thrown up were not sealed, and most of them were thrown up and began to fly forward according to inertia, and after a certain distance, due to the lack of strength, they began to roll in the process of falling downward, and they did not need to break the liquid in it and flew around.

Mr. Liu, who was in a good mood, was dumbfounded, but then there was a loud noise outside the city, and then the black shadows on the left and right of the drying field flew together, and hundreds of clay pots flew in, and Mr. Liu's heart immediately fell to the bottom of the valley and pulled out the cold.

In the next hour, the whole Taiping Town was in chaos, but there was no shadow of the enemy outside the drying field or the trebuchet position, even the temporarily assembled trebuchets by the city wall were only used once, the people had long since run away, and the officers and soldiers did not even catch a figure when they arrived.

By noon, the damaged grain was counted out as high as seven layers, and Liu Zongbing almost died of anger on the spot, the data on the loss of the granary in Taiping Town had been reported, and Yang Shoubei did not dare to open the back door anymore even if he had the courage to do so, so it was not certain whether his position could be kept.

In the afternoon, dozens of horsemen set out from Taiping to the surrounding states and counties, no matter what the result of this handling is, the military food on the front line still has to be transported, and the only way is to borrow grain from the surrounding states and counties.

The governors of more than a dozen prefectures and counties around the night were not having a good time, the appetite of the military was too great, and they did not have much surplus food, and these people in power held a small meeting overnight under the pretext that it was getting late, but the granaries of almost all the counties were on fire, and the hearts of those who saw this situation to urge grain were half cold.

The next day, all the states, prefectures, and counties under the jurisdiction of Ziyun in the Iron Blood Province were in chaos, and more than half of the granaries in the province were on fire, especially in the central part of the province, almost none of them escaped, only some small counties near the Blood City in the south and some remote counties in the southeast were spared because they had no value and the Dragon Kingdom did not send spies, but the distant water did not quench the thirst, and it was too poor, and there was not much surplus grain in the entire county granary.

……

'Bang' There was a loud sound, Yin Lei smashed the table in front of him, Liu Laobian, Jiang Huaiyi, Min Zhengxing and others in front of him stood with their hands down, Zhu Sicheng, Qingye Xiaohe, and the master and servant were not there.

"How many people are against the water?"

Liu Laobian took a step forward and said: "Go home, a total of thirteen prefectures and county heads betrayed, and another twenty-three people were arrested for various reasons, most of them were betrayed and arrested overnight, fortunately, I also expected a few points in this situation, and I was only temporarily notified before the action, so most of the places have completed the task, and eleven of the twenty-three places are the main responsible persons who were captured, the so-called Miki begged for nothing, most of them must not survive, and now I have let everyone temporarily hide, What should we do next, please ask the head of the family to make it clear. ”

"Is this a betrayal?"

Yin Lei sat on the chair with his eyes closed and touched his head with his hand and asked softly, the three people below glanced at each other or Liu Laobian continued: "Family master, most of our people lurking in various places have been for several generations, many of them have no relationship with us, and it is difficult for us to punish them, and there are many people who take root and sprout in the local area, and have a large number of children and grandchildren. This situation is also inevitable, in fact, I think this is a good thing, this time after the fact, we don't need to send people to secretly investigate the problem of loyalty and treachery of these people, but what should those who are arrested do? ”

"As you said, Miki didn't ask for anything, at least it's good that they didn't stab us in the back at a critical time like those people, and it's our responsibility if we know that they can't avoid the loss if we know that they are arrested. We still don't know how many people have betrayed, and the intelligence in various places is almost paralyzed, so it is difficult to save them in such a situation. The order goes down so that those who are captured do not have to resist, there is any trick, all the people who have been in contact with them must be evacuated, so that they can save their lives first, and secondly, they can suffer less flesh and skin, as for those who take the initiative to fight against the water, none of them can be spared, count the number of people and report it to the shadowless team to kill them all, if there is any difficulty, I will do it myself, such people must not stay. ”

"It's the head of the family, but if the captured people confess, our losses are too great, and more than half of the intelligence network will be destroyed.

"This is also something that can't be helped, it's a critical time here, we really can't get out, and they are not only far away from us but also scattered, even if we put down the things here, we can't save a few, they are captured, we can't rescue what else can we ask for? This is also the only thing we can do for them at present, as for the intelligence networks in various places, ......, it's time to sort them out, and when we finish this matter, the three of you will make every effort to reorganize all the intelligence networks, and there will be absolutely no similar things in the future, in my opinion, intelligence work is far more important than fighting head-on on the battlefield, and everyone must be re-examined before they can be appointed after this fact. ”

The faces of the three people below all had a look of shock that could not be concealed, if the manpower of the various places was reduced tenfold according to Yin Lei's words, where would these manpower be arranged?

"The head of the family, how can you explain such a big thing this time?"

"Naturally, I will bear it, Brother Min, you will report it in a while."

"I'm afraid that the head of the family will ......."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine, as long as there is no catastrophe, it's nothing."

"And how do we arrange the people we have streamlined?"

"How many people can be reduced?"

"At least more than three thousand."

Hearing this, Yin Lei was also taken aback, and couldn't help blurting out, "How can there be so many?" So how much do we have left? ”

"Let's say we can have 500 people left, and then we won't have enough manpower."

"Streamlining is inevitable, as for what to do, you have more experience than me, in terms of manpower, you can appropriately leave some more, at most not more than half, the streamlined people are temporarily used as backups, their salaries are still issued, as for your salaries...... At least three times better, my goal is five, and I can't guarantee that I will be able to do that. ”

Hearing this, the three of them let out a long sigh, it is easy to do things only when they have money, and the three of them glanced at each other and hurriedly whispered: "Obey."

"Information will come from all over the country one after another, I heard that General Liu is going to cancel our vacation and go all out, I have to go back now, if there is anything, you can find out through Wang Jiu."

……

As the bad news came one after another, Liu Zongbing's face in the hall turned from white to blue, and then from green to red, and finally the whole body of the great master who had trained Gang Qi to the eleventh floor trembled, and his lips twitched, and he almost didn't go crazy, and by noon all the people sent out had returned, and all the granaries where they went were burned, and not a single grain of grain would come back.

Yang Shoubei next to him sighed and said: "Brother Liu, I heard that the situation in the north is worse than ours, it is close to the front line, there are still nine layers of grain that have been robbed, and even the grain and grass transported by Helin and the neighboring mountains have not been saved, we want to drag it out for half a year, they have to desperately take the Taiping and other triple towns within half a year, and the step of cutting off the grain is necessary, otherwise how can the above arrange those cultivators to also transport the grain, in this case, if something happens, the above will not be deeply responsible." ”

"Yes, most of the grain and grass in the province have been burned, and it is impossible to spare or kill everyone above."

Suddenly, a voice came from the sky, and then a man in a green shirt stepped in the air, a shadow flashed in front of the two of them, and Ping Jiandong appeared out of nowhere to block in front of the two, and Ping Jiandong, who was taken aback by the tone of this person's speech, and Yang Shoubei and Liu Zongbing breathed a sigh of relief, this person was obviously not an enemy.

Ping Jiandong, who saw someone coming in front of the two, suddenly said, "Hey, it's Senior Brother Lu, why are you here?" ”

"Little junior brother, can I still sit still if such a big thing happens?"

"Then what should you do when you come to Helin? If only the existence in the swamp ....... ”

"Don't worry, there is still Brother Wei guarding there, not only me, but even Senior Brother Bai from the neighboring mountain is here."

"What? Senior Brother Bai is also here, but he is the only one in the neighboring mountains. ”

"Little junior brother, don't worry, we are just symbolically guarding the neighboring mountain, and if people in the cultivation really want to fight us, they can be guarded by one person."

"It seems that the importance attached to this batch of military food is still above my imagination."

"Yes, the group of generals led by Zhao Hongfei and Chu Yushu have been fighting with us for more than ten years, and it is extremely difficult to defeat them with their familiarity with us.

"Senior brother is right, what do you mean?"

"50,000 stone of grain will be sent out by Taiping, and I will be escorted to the front line with Senior Brother Bai."

"What, you're going to do it yourself?"

"Yes, Mr. Liu, from today onwards, our brothers and sisters will personally accompany you on the road."

Liu Zongbing hurriedly saluted, facing the legendary sword immortal, not to mention him, even the general did not dare to be rude, and then said with a smile: "It is Liu's blessing to have two sword immortals accompanied, this batch of food will no longer have any risk, and Liu will be able to atone for his sins." ”

"Senior brother, where is Senior Brother Lu?"

"He met a friend and came back after a few conversations."

"Senior brother, I took in an apprentice a few days ago, and my junior brother called him here for you to get to know him."
