Chapter 163: Planting Blame
The fire burned the whole of the plains, however, for all parties, due to various restrictions, they had to take a wait-and-see state and wait for the matter to be revealed before making a decision. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
It is precisely because of this psychology of these people that Mo Fei can unscrupulously lead the troops to gallop in the plains and do the great cause of arson. By daylight, the fire across the plains was out of control.
After seeing a fire burning the entire plain, Mo Fei took Wu Qi and others and rushed towards Yancheng. Since Xu Dahai and Zhang Wenzhong and others returned to the city yesterday, their hearts were very unsteady, although the two of them were injured, but as soon as they returned to the city, they climbed to the city gate.
Xu Dahai, Zhang Wenzhong, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others stood on the city gate, staring closely at Pingye, expecting Mo Fei's figure to appear. However, they didn't wait, and when the time came, they saw a fire instead, and these people were really startled.
Only Zhang Wenzhong "chuckled" in his heart, it seems that General Mo really intends to clear the wilderness.
Zhang Wenzhong thought of the deep meaning behind Mo Fei's move, and his face was solemn. Xu Dahai and Chen Sheng are rough people, and it's okay to march and fight, so let them use their brains to think, it's better to kill them. However, although these people are too lazy to use their brains, they still know a little bit of eyesight. Seeing Zhang Wenzhong's solemn eyes, he knew that he must know who did this.
Xu Dahai said in a loud voice: "Lao Zhang, if you want to know something, tell the brothers quickly, if something happens to the general, we won't be able to eat and walk around." But I'm also wondering, where did you say the general went? β
Zhang Wenzhong didn't speak, but glanced at Xu Dahai silently, Xu Dahai saw Zhang Wenzhong looking at him inexplicably, and said, "What's wrong?" What do you think I'm doing? I'm not asking you where the general went? Don't...... You don't know? After Xu Dahai finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened, and he opened his mouth and said, "You...... What do you mean......"
Xu Dahai pointed to the fire on the plain, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "The fire was set by the general?" β
Zhang Wenzhong spoke this time: "It should be." β
Chen Sheng and Wu Guangqi took a breath together, and seemed to realize what kind of harm Mo Fei's move would bring to the Qin and Tang armies. Only Xu Dahai clapped his hands and shouted in a loud voice: "The general is too uninteresting, to do such an interesting thing, he didn't even take me Lao Xu." β
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang glanced at Xu Dahai blankly, and the meaning in their eyes was clear.
After the four of them knew that the person who burned the plains was Mo Fei, they were also very anxious, and after a series of events such as the plague and the battle of hot air balloons, these people had already eliminated their resistance and exclusion to Mo Fei. Slowly, from the bottom of my heart, I began to rely on Mo Fei.
If something happens at this time, they will definitely send troops to help without hesitation. However, the night was relatively peaceful, and there was no fighting, except for the raging fire burning the plains. Whether it is Yancheng or other cities on the border of Hexi, they are relatively quiet.
The four of them waited anxiously, and the longer the time, the more anxious their hearts became, until dawn, and they still didn't see Mo Fei's figure. Xu Dahai was already impatient, and said in a loud voice: "Open the city gate, I will lead the troops to find the general." β
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang glanced at each other, shook their heads in unison and said, "No!" The general has an order, and no one can open this gate without his order. β
"Fart! When the general is in trouble, how can we stand idly by? You two don't be crooked, if you want to go, go with me, and if you don't want to go, hide here for me to be a turtle with a shrunken head. β
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were robbed by Xu Dahai, their faces were red and their necks were thick, and they could only justify: "I...... We're not, the general said no, you can't ......"
"Okay! Yes! Yes! Say no more, open the door for me! Saying that, Xu Dahai swaggered towards the city wall, Zhang Wenzhong shook his head and sighed, and said, "Old Xu! β
Xu Dahai was walking, and when he heard Zhang Wenzhong calling him, he stopped, turned around and said, "How is it?" Are you going to come with me too? β
"Don't you forget what the general said?"
Xu Dahai was puzzled: "What? β
Zhang Wenzhong reminded: "The general said that after we return to the city, no matter what happens, we are not allowed to leave the city. β
Xu Dahai was stunned for a moment, stood in place, frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he sighed and said, "Hey! If it weren't for General Mo to speak...... Yes! We're waiting here for the general to come back. β
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were stunned, they really didn't expect that Xu Dahai, who wanted to be unscrupulous, would one day be subdued.
The four of them stood on the city wall and waited for a while, and at this moment, outside Yancheng, on the plains, a line of black horses galloped over. These people looked at it and found that it was Mo Fei and Yaya who were the leaders, Xu Dahai was overjoyed, and said loudly: "Open the city gate." β
The gates of the city were wide open, and they rode into the city.
The four of them hurriedly greeted them, but they turned over and dismounted, and the four of them said in unison: "General." β
Mo Fei handed the saddle to the soldiers who came up and asked, "How is the situation in the city?" β
"All is well."
"Xu Dahai and Zhang Wenzhong listen to the order."
Xu Dahai and Zhang Wenzhong were stunned, they didn't expect that they would issue a military order just after they came back, and it wouldn't be an order to punish themselves, right? A trace of misfortune flashed in the hearts of the two, this time, whether it was escorting the people out of the city or rescuing Zhang Wenzhong, the two of them made a lot of mistakes to a greater or lesser extent.
Could it be that after returning to the city now, the first military order issued is likely to be the punishment decree of the two.
However, the two are also upright and responsible men, and since they have made mistakes, they are willing to accept the punishment.
The two said in unison: "The subordinates are here." β
"Yesterday, I went out of the city to rescue you, but the Qi family secretly obstructed it. Then we dispersed, and I was hunted down by the Qi family and exiled to the plains. In order to chase me, the Qi family burned down the plains, causing the fire to burn our supplies and causing a catastrophe. Now, I order you to go and arrest all the people of the Qi family, and those who resist will be killed. β
Xu Dahai heard it in the clouds, what Qi family? Did the Qi family go out of the city last night? How did the fire come from the Qi family? Isn't the Qi family in Yancheng? How can the general speak inexplicably?
Xu Dahai didn't understand what Mo Fei was saying at all, and just as he was about to speak, Zhang Wenzhong dragged Xu Dahai from the side and shook his head. Xu Dahai didn't know why Zhang Wenzhong pulled him, but in these few mutual contacts, Xu Dahai also knew that in terms of strategy, Zhang Wenzhong was far better than him.
Therefore, since Zhang Wenzhong pulled him, he proved his own intentions.
Zhang Wenzhong had already guessed Mo Fei's intentions when Mo Fei talked about the Qi family, to burn down the plains, no matter what the result was, someone would always come out to serve as a substitute for the dead ghost. Find your own brother as a scapegoat, no one can do it, it is better to find an enemy.
What's more, the Qi family already had grievances with him, and Zhang Wenzhong didn't care about their life or death. (To be continued.) )
