Chapter 2203
Yongzheng may not have thought of this, but he still did it, it is really unreasonable, is it not as simple as he sees?
Geldan was silent when he saw Hiroshi, and then asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
Hongshi came back to his senses and said: "Hui Khan's words, I'm wondering, Yongzheng is too confident in himself, thinking that these hundreds of people can hurt our roots, or is there something that we haven't thought of?" ”
Geldan thought for a while and said, "You mean, Yongzheng's plan is more than what we see?" ”
Before Hiroshi could speak, the night sky suddenly lit up, and this light was not lightning piercing the night sky, but a huge fire not far away.
Not only him, but everyone else also saw it, and under the light of the fire, everyone's faces became extremely ugly, because it was ......
Alimer said in a trembling voice: "There...... Isn't that a granary? ”
Before he finished speaking, Geldan and Hongshi had already rushed to the place where the fire was burning, there was already a mess, the soldiers were trying to put out the fire, and there was no water nearby, fortunately there was a lot of snow, so they simply shoveled snow to extinguish the fire, but the fire was too big, just extinguished a little, and burned elsewhere, it was too late.
Geldan saw that his face turned blue, and he said sharply: "Call everyone to put out the fire, quickly, move faster!" "He can't help but be in a hurry, this is grain and grass, once the grain is burned out, his army of hundreds of thousands will be in trouble.
The fire burned for half an hour before it was extinguished, and the snow in the vicinity was used up, until it was even the Sarik River, which had just been pierced through the ice, to scoop water to extinguish the fire.
After some counting, in addition to the warehouse, the camp tent was also burned a lot, fortunately there were no casualties, but the grain and grass were almost burned and slackened, only a small part remained, maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, there are many, but for hundreds of thousands of troops, it is only a few days of food.
Geldan said with a cold face: "Why did the granary suddenly catch fire?" ”
The soldiers who were originally guarding the granary stepped forward tremblingly and said, "King Qiyu Khan, someone suddenly threw something at the granary just now, it was so dark that his subordinates couldn't see what it was, so they didn't look for it carefully." However, the subordinates chased them out, but no one was found. Later, a few rockets came in, landed in the granary, and began to ignite a raging fire, the fire spread so fast that his subordinates had no time to put out it. ”
"Rice bucket! It's all a bunch of rice buckets! Geldan was so angry that he kicked him to the ground, and said sharply: "Isn't it just a few rockets, how big a fire can it be, not to mention that it has just snowed recently, it is very wet, and it is easy to extinguish the fire. ”
All the soldiers guarding the granary knelt down, and one of them said: "King Khan's forgiveness, his subordinates and others immediately went to extinguish the fire as soon as they saw the rocket, but I don't know why, as soon as the rocket fell on the granary, the fire was so big and terrifying that they couldn't get close at all." ”
"Excuses, all excuses." Where can Geldan listen to these at the moment, without food, he has no confidence, if he can't get enough food before the grain bottoms out, or attack the capital, without fighting, the army will collapse directly.
Geldan said angrily: "Someone! Drag down all these bastards who have destroyed food and grass and whip them to death! ”
Without waiting for the soldiers to plead, Hongshi, who had been inspecting the burned granary, said: "King Khan, they are not lying, the fire did grow in an instant. ”
Geldan looked at him coldly and said: "This king has not settled accounts with you yet, this matter is handed over to you by this king, you said that you must be able to keep the granary, what is the result?" See for yourself! ”
Hongshi took a deep breath and said: "Please forgive King Khan, this matter, I really didn't think carefully enough, I didn't expect Yongzheng not only to sneak attack, but also to attack the west, deliberately using those hundreds of people as bait to lure us into the bait, so that the rest of the people could set fire to the granary." ”
Alimer sneered on the side: "Didn't you say that you were very confident before, and now you say that you didn't think carefully enough, Hongshi, your words turned quite quickly." ”
Hongshi ignored his words, and said in a deep voice: "King Khan, this matter is indeed my negligence, you will be responsible for the punishment, I have no complaints!" ”
Anger flashed in Geerdan's eyes, and he said coldly: "I'll talk about this later, you just said that they didn't lie, how do you know that you weren't here when the fire just started?" ”
Hiroshi picked up a charred wooden stick from the ground and said, "Because I smell white phosphorus here, if I am not mistaken, the first thing they threw into the granary should be white phosphorus." This thing is the most fueling fire, and once it is ignited, it will frantically burn something that can be burned, and it is too late to extinguish the fire. ”
"White phosphorus!" Geldan hated these two words, this kind of thing is rare in Junggar, so neither he nor the soldiers thought that it would be this thing that the Qing soldiers threw into the granary.
Ali Mo hated and said: "You Qing people are really cunning and hateful, and you actually use such despicable means. ”
"I said a long time ago that I am no longer a Qing person, and I ask the general not to confuse me with them." After Hongshi defended a sentence, he said: "The reason why Yinzhen sent those hundreds of people to fight us on the ice was not only to attract our attention, but also to confuse my judgment and make me think that I was wrong. ”
Geldan said coldly: "What's the use of talking about these now, most of the grain and grass have been burned, and the rest is only enough for a few days." Hongshi, it was you who made a statement to this king to stay here, and it was you who advised this king not to attack rashly, and now that it has become like this, you are suing this king, what should you do next? Do you want to stay here and starve to death? This king has always trusted you, asked you to train soldiers, appointed you as a striker, and listened to your strategy, but now this king is really very suspicious, is it wrong to believe you? ”
Obviously, he didn't really believe it, but he just meant to use it, and when it came out of Geldan's mouth, it turned into complete trust.
Hongshi heard the killing intent in his words, and quickly knelt down and said: "Naturally not, Yongzheng's move is indeed something I didn't expect, since this matter is because of me, then I will definitely come up with a way, please King Khan believe me again this time." I can swear to heaven that I have absolutely no disloyalty to the Khan. ”
There is no truth between each other, and use and interests are full of each other.
Although Geldan wanted to kill Hongshi, he knew that killing at this moment would not solve the matter, and would even make it more complicated, so he reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Okay, this king will give you another chance, follow this king into the camp, Alimer, and a few of you will also come in and discuss the next move." ”
