Chapter 309: One Point Makes Sense
When Pei Xiu said this, everyone was shocked.
"Boss, what do you mean by that? What is it called, food and grass have always been under our noses? General Meng was the first to speak, his face bewildered and puzzled. He really didn't understand what Pei Xiu meant, if it was always under their noses, how could they not see it? It's completely impossible, is it possible, the boss is talking in his dreams?
But after hearing this, Lu Fei on the side frowned slightly. Looking at Pei Xiu with a calm face in front of him, although he couldn't see his face clearly, Lu Fei felt that he was not joking with them.
What's more, this sentence was said by their boss. If it were someone else, they would definitely think that this was absolutely nonsense, but this was the dignified Six Princes, the god of war who once led them to fight in all directions! In Lu Fei's eyes, Pei Xiu has the smartest mind, at least among so many people he knows, Pei Xiu is definitely the smartest one.
Moreover, he can always think of things that ordinary people can't think of at all. Sometimes, he is also able to notice what they tend to overlook. A few years ago, he was already so powerful, and now, he is only going to be even better.
These generals, for Pei Xiu, to exaggerate, are almost a little blindly worshipped. In their eyes, their own boss can be said to be omnipotent, and as long as he gets to the boss, he must have a way to solve anything.
This is also the reason why they were so ecstatic when they saw Pei Xiu. On the one hand, it is because they have not seen each other for a long time, and on the other hand, they have been struggling for so long about food and grass. Pei Xiu's appearance was simply a ray of light in the darkness, allowing them to see light and hope.
Lu Fei was not like General Meng, he didn't want to think about it, so he blurted out a question. He was originally a careful person, and he had learned a lot of things by Pei Xiu's side before, and his original heart was relatively calm. Therefore, when Pei Xiu said this, he did not immediately question or refute it, but carefully figured out the meaning of his boss's words.
Judging from the current situation, they have ruled out the possibility of grain and grass being transported from the granary overnight, because there is not a trace of footprints around, and grain and grass can't fly in the sky, right?
And the secret way, they originally thought that the grain and grass would be transported from the ground. But when they were drinking together last night, Pei Xiu's words woke up several of them.
Pei Xiu mentioned at the time that this tunnel is so narrow that it can almost only pass one person at a time, and it is very difficult for two people to walk together. With so much grain and grass, how can they pass through this secret passage? Even if there were, it couldn't all disappear overnight, right?
Therefore, Lu Fei and they understood at that time. This secret passage is just a trick to confuse their vision. And even the second prince was deceived by this secret passage, let alone them? However, it is not difficult to understand this. Everyone was anxious day and night for so much grain and grass, and found this secret passage, as if they had grasped a life-saving straw, and in the absence of other possibilities, they could only believe that they could find grain and grass here.
In the past few days, the hearts of several generals have actually become more anxious. A few days ago, when the secret passage was not discovered, somehow, it seemed that the news had leaked, and other countries also knew about the loss of a sum of grain and grass in the Tianli country.
Although the specific number has not been announced, since it can be a piece of news, coupled with rumors, it can be said that the incident of losing a large amount of grain and grass in Tianli Country has become more and more intense, which is obviously deliberate. But a few generals didn't know where the news came from, and their own internal soldiers were well hidden, so how could it be leaked?
The rumors obviously deliberately exaggerated the loss of grain and grass, but while the people were discussing it, they did not expect that this was actually true. Tianli had indeed lost so much grain and grass, and it was even more serious than they had imagined.
The soldiers on the frontier also heard the rumors, and some people even came to ask Lu Fei about them, but they were all fooled by them. Jokes, if they know about it, will they pay it back? At that time, if other countries take the opportunity to attack their Tianli country, this will undoubtedly be even worse for Tianli country. After all, a soldier without food is like a sick cat without weapons, and can only be killed by others.
Don't look at Tianli Country is already a big country now, but the surrounding countries are all eyeing it. After all, Tianli is a vast and sparsely populated country, and has a unique geographical advantage, if you get this land, it must be very precious. In the eyes of other countries, Tianli Kingdom is like a piece of fatty meat, although it is very strong now, and it cannot be swallowed casually.
But what if something happens to the country? Look at how many countries will attack the Heavenly Departure Nation. This is also why, Pei Tianyu is so anxious to send Pei Xiu over, if he can't find food and grass anymore, then this gossip can also crush Tianli to death.
The most important thing is that today's Pei Tianyu really does not have this confidence. If the food and grass were still there, would he care about those gossips? Those countries that do not like them, even if they attack them, he will make them unable to eat and walk around. But now Tianli is like a tiger with its teeth extracted, although the majesty is still there, but if someone really comes to fight the tiger, they will find that this tiger is now completely vulnerable.
At that time, they will really be fools if they don't take the opportunity to defeat this tiger and capture the city.
The news of Pei Xiu's trip to the frontier was not deliberately concealed.
Although the news of his trip to the frontier is, from a certain point of view, a tacit acquiescence to the fact that there are indeed some problems in the frontier. But Pei Xiu's reputation is famous after all, even if he is now in a wheelchair, his residual power back then still exists in the hearts of many people.
Pei Tianyu did not hide the news of Pei Xiu's trip to the frontier, also because Pei Xiu's majesty was able to temporarily suppress some people who were about to move, so that they did not dare to act rashly. If you want to attack the country of Tianli, I'm afraid you have to think about it. Even if Pei Xiu doesn't seem to be able to go to the battlefield now, who knows what awaits them?
Lu Fei was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "Boss, what do you mean is that the disappearance of grain and grass is just a trick. In fact, this grain and grass has always been in our barracks, but it has been hidden? ”
After Lu Fei finished speaking, several generals next to him suddenly had expressions of sudden realization. So so, if the grain and grass were hidden, they would not find it. What's more, now both the above-ground and the underground-based roads have been denied. They couldn't find the reason for the disappearance of grain and grass, and they never thought about it, but in fact, the grain and grass were not lost at all?
If that's the case, it all makes sense. Why are there not the slightest footprints on the ground, why are there no grain and grass in the tunnels?
"But boss, you said that these grains and grasses have been hidden, so much grain and grass, where can they be hidden?"
Su Wanqing looked at one of the generals with a puzzled face, smiled lightly, and said casually and unintentionally: "Grain and grass are naturally where it should exist." ”
Originally, the generals didn't have the slightest feeling for Su Wanqing, for them, women were just vassals of men, except for being good-looking, for them, there was nothing special. Therefore, even if they saluted respectfully at the beginning, they actually didn't care about Su Wanqing in their hearts.
For them, the barracks are the place where men should stay, like this county lord who looks at the fine skin and tender meat, why bother to come here to make do with it? If something accidentally goes wrong, then they will be very responsible. After all, she was their eldest woman, not an ordinary person.
But after Su Wanqing spoke, several people couldn't help but think. Even they didn't notice that they listened to Su Wanqing's words unconsciously.
Lu Fei frowned and thought for a while, his eyes quickly lit up, and the way he looked at Su Wanqing was no longer as cold as at the beginning, but with a touch of excitement.
"What do the six princesses mean is that those grains and grasses have actually been in the granary all along?"
Several generals next to him looked at Lu Fei with some confusion.
"It's been in the granary, how is it possible, we've all seen it so many times, and it's all surrounded by partitions-"
"Wait, is that all that grain and grass have been hidden behind the partition?" General Meng was rarely smart, he stared at the few people next to him with wide eyes, and couldn't help but burst out.
"Partition, how can it be ......"
"If you think about it, those partitions have always been firmly nailed to the wall, but there has always been a gap between them and the wall. Have you seen what's inside? ”
In the face of General Meng's questioning, several generals looked at each other, and then shook their heads in unison.
"It seems that there is really no ......"
"Who's going to pay attention there?"
"Others may think the same way."
General Meng slapped his face and came to a conclusion: "That partition is very suspicious!" Take a look and you'll find out! He looked at Su Wanqing, who had a light smile on his face, and Pei Xiu, who had been quiet next to him, hugged his fists at Su Wanqing, and said respectfully: "Sixth Princess Xie for guidance." ”
Several generals looked at Su Wanqing, and their expressions also carried a trace of true respect.
They seem to understand why their own boss chose this woman, she is indeed different from the woman outside.
Several great generals did not delay any longer, and rushed to the granary.
Su Wanqing slowly stood up, looked at Pei Xiu next to her, and asked, "Xiu, don't you want to take a look?" ”
Pei Xiu looked at Su Wanqing, his eyes were full of tenderness.
"Where my wife is, where is Xiu Ben."
