"General, the lord asked us to order all the food money, and we have to load it into the car and transport it outside the city, are you planning to evacuate Yecheng?"

Outside the treasury not far south of Yecheng City, a group of soldiers of the Yuan Army were patrolling back and forth, and behind them, grain trucks were pushed into the granaries behind.

At the exit on the other side, there are also one after another grain trucks driving out, the difference is that these grain trucks are fully loaded, although the face is covered with a black cloth can not see the contents of the contents, but what is transported from the granary is already self-evident, not to mention that there are two deep rut marks behind the car, showing that the weight of the things on the car is not light, but it is not like weapons and other metal heavy objects, grain is the most reasonable explanation, in fact, it is a bit of a desire to cover it with a black cloth. However, most people don't think about it so much, it's always a bit of a cover-up.

Because there was no one to supervise, and the military discipline of the Yuan army was not as strict as that of Lu Bujun or Cao Junzhong, some of the soldiers on patrol couldn't bear it at this time, and after looking around for a while, they opened their mouths to ask the big man in the front row.

According to the military rank, this big man is just a military marquis, not a "general", but his favorite thing is that others call himself a general, he is not young, there is no hope of going to the next level in this life, but it is good to be able to live a good life, these soldiers have followed him for a lot of time, and they all know how to do what he likes.

Hearing his subordinates ask, the big man frowned and said unhappily: "What are you talking nonsense?" Where did you get the news that the lord was going to evacuate Yecheng? ”

Although there have been frequent transfers in Yuan's army recently. But even if most of the soldiers are dissatisfied and disagree, they don't have too many doubts and associations about it, and the person who is really sure to know the news is only a captain and above in the army, and this big man is just a military marquis, so he has a brother-in-law who is a captain in the Yuan army, so he knows some inside information, and the captain's brother-in-law also told him not to leak it, otherwise killing his head is not enough to offset his crime.

This big man is not strict-mouthed, and he knows this himself. Therefore, I always kept the instructions of the lieutenant's brother-in-law in my heart. But it's also possible if you get drunk or accidentally say something about it, so Dahan is denying it on the surface, but he is still a little nervous in his heart, for fear that someone in his subordinates will say that he personally told them.

But it turned out that he was overthinking. One of his subordinates laughed, "How is this nonsense? You can guess it...... "Seeing that the big man looked worried." He was also a little nervous, and immediately explained: "Don't be surprised by the general, the subordinates are just curious. And this thing didn't come out of our mouths, and we don't have that brain, do we? However, we don't know where it started, but recently this kind of news has been flying all over the army in the sky, and everyone knows about it. ”

The big man's brows furrowed even more, and he secretly wondered if there was anyone with a bigger mouth than himself? He couldn't think of such a deep thing, he just felt that as long as it wasn't the news he leaked out, even if there were any consequences, it wouldn't have any impact on him, and it was none of his business, he just told these subordinates to pay attention to it, don't go out and talk nonsense, he still cares about the words of the captain's brother-in-law.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to go to rest in the afternoon, he received a notice from his lieutenant's brother-in-law to invite him.

Dahan had already put this matter aside, but he didn't expect to go to this floor, but he didn't expect the captain to ask him as soon as he opened his mouth: "Chen He, how did a certain family tell you at the beginning, the matter of the lord's evacuation of Yecheng is a matter of confidentiality, and it is absolutely impossible to leak out half a word, because you and I have a special relationship, so I just leak a little bit with you, I just hope that you will not make any mistakes in this critical period, and it is possible to put me in it while burning yourself, as for taking the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, I don't expect to make meritorious contributions." I don't think you even took my instructions to heart, a certain family told you thousands of instructions, but you still don't listen, do you really want to find death? Don't drag me into the water......"

The big man's surname is Chen Minghe, although the other party is a brother-in-law with him, the relationship is not close, not to mention that he is still on his own, so when he heard him say this, even if he knew that it was none of his business, he couldn't help but tremble, and then said with a wry smile: "Captain Liu, this is ...... He really doesn't know what's going on, this morning when he was patrolling at the other end of the granary, someone mentioned it, and He Fang only knew about the leak of the news, but it wasn't about He, it wasn't me who leaked it. ”

Captain Liu looked at him, with disbelief in his eyes, he had already heard of Chen He's reputation for not being able to control his mouth, and he regretted it at the time when he didn't hold on to suing him, but with a fluke mentality, this time when he heard that the matter was spreading outside, his first reaction was that Chen He didn't keep his mouth shut, but now that he swore by him, although he still doubted, he had been shaken.

Chen He continued: "Captain Liu also knows that he is timid, and Captain Liu's original advice is vividly in his ears, how dare he forget it? He didn't dare to tell a lie to Captain Liu, he really didn't know about this before. What's more, if this matter was really spread by He, He either didn't dare to come to see Captain Liu, or he had already come to ask for help, how could he still sit safely? ”

Captain Liu finally believed it, what Chen He said was not wrong, he also began to mumble at this time, I don't know who spread this rumor, although this matter is indeed true, but it has always been kept secret in the army, and now there is a lot of uproar, even the lord Yuan Shao was also alarmed, and he didn't know how to clean it up later.

However, like Chen He, his status is not high, he is just an ordinary captain, and there is a tall one on top when the sky falls, as long as he is sure that the news leak has nothing to do with him.

But they can not care, but Yuan Shao is absolutely not, he is very angry at the moment.

As Zhao Yun thought before, the chaos of the people's hearts is not a big problem for Yuan Shao, and it doesn't even matter if someone makes him opposed, because he has the confidence to put this qiē right, and his confidence comes from the military horses under his command.

But now even the army under his command has signs of chaos, this is what he absolutely cannot tolerate, almost as soon as he received the news of the army, he ordered the army to carry out a thorough investigation of self-correction, be sure to find out the black hands behind the scenes in the shortest possible time and as quickly as possible, and then get rid of them quickly.

Jiang Qi, Chun Yuqiong, Guo Yuan, Ma Yan and Zhou Ang and other generals in the army had already received the order, and they did not dare to hesitate or neglect at all, and immediately launched an operation, starting from ordinary soldiers and firehead soldiers, to the top generals, all started a large-scale investigation of digging three feet into the ground, and even some unfinished dispatches in the army were stopped.

Yuan Shao also had to do it as a last resort, if he didn't stop, the personnel scheduling would be so frequent, it would increase the difficulty of the already difficult investigation, and now he hopes to use various means to ensure that the investigation is carried out smoothly, even if he knows that this is a little disadvantageous, he has to make such a choice.

The events of the past few days have made Yuan Shao's trust in these people under him lower and lower, they are not only incompetent, but their loyalty is also questionable, even if they are Jiang Qi and other generals who participated in the investigation in the army, they also form mutual supervision with each other, Yuan Shao thinks that he can try to ensure that there will be no mistakes or omissions, but in fact, this picket in the army has not achieved the slightest useful effect except for attracting everyone from the general to the ordinary soldiers to put themselves in danger, and has been looking for many days in a row, but there is no useful discovery, Not to mention the details of the army, even how they were connected together, how to transmit information to the outside world, and how to spread the panicked news of General Yuan Shao's evacuation from Yecheng in the army, they investigated and came to investigate the area, but in the end they still didn't know anything, even Xu You and Guo Tu, who followed them to help them give advice, didn't have any good way.

Of course, in the process, they didn't find nothing, or they captured a few people who have been actively promoting the spread of news in the army recently, but among them, either they are habitual big mouths like that Chen He, or they are resentful people who have been punished for being dissatisfied with the transfer of the army before, they all have good reasons to do this, but if it is said that they began to spread the news, they cannot prove it, and it is even more lacking in evidence to say that they are meticulous. In the end, in addition to the fear that rashly disposing of them would cause more chaos, it was also because they were probably not meticulous and it would be useless to dispose of them, so they finally decided to let them go.

However, at this time, Tian Feng stood up in time to stop it, he said: "Although there is no evidence to prove that they are meticulous, but at this critical moment, it is better to kill them by mistake, if they are really meticulous, of course it is better, just imprison them, and you can claim that you have searched the army for meticulous work, which can make the officers and soldiers in the army settle down and avoid further riots; Second, it doesn't matter if these people are not really meticulous, so that those real meticulous works can be relieved to relax, we just need to pay attention to it secretly, and sooner or later they will show their feet! ”

Tian Feng's words at the beginning were a little surprising, after all, he gave everyone the impression that he was not an overkill person, but after listening to his next words, he suddenly came to his senses, and then everyone praised the military advisor for being worthy of being a military advisor, and the proposed proposal was so reasonable, and no one would object, unless they could put forward better opinions, obviously not.

However, whether it is Xu You or Guo Tu, their faces are a little unsightly, they are all people who like to steal the limelight, but this time the limelight was robbed by Tian Feng.

At this time, Ma Yan hesitated, but still asked, "Then what can we do next?" ”

Tian Feng glanced at them and spit out lightly: "Wait!" (To be continued......)
