Chapter 23: Geng Jian ordered the destruction of wheat fields
All kinds of insulting words spread into the city, making all the soldiers loyal to Liu Wei angry.
Zhang Liao even asked Liu Wei for his life: "Your Highness, the last general asks to lead the army out of the city and kill those bastards on their backs." ”
Liu Wei shook his head and refused: "Wenyuan, the other party is full of people and still has energy, if we leave the city at this moment, our army will definitely suffer heavy losses." ”
"But Your Highness, we can't insult you with these bastards, we're not afraid of death!" Zhang Liao said firmly.
His soldiers also said: "What General Zhang said is very true, we are willing to die for His Highness." ”
Liu Wei said: "It is precisely because you are not afraid of death that Lone is reluctant to let you die, only soldiers who are not afraid of death are qualified to live!" ”
"Don't worry, when the time comes, Lone will let you kill the enemy happily."
Hearing this, Zhang Liao and his soldiers were all moved to tears......
Outside the city, the soldiers of the Baibo Army under Geng Jian shouted and cursed for a long time, and they were all so tired that their mouths were dry, and they all squatted on the ground.
"General, it's all like this, what should I do if Liu Wei refuses to go out of the city?"
The soldiers of the White Polish Army reluctantly asked Geng Jian.
Geng Jian's face was gloomy: "This hateful Liu Wei child, I didn't expect to be able to endure ......"
More or less, Geng Jian is a little poor in donkey skills.
He really couldn't think of how to break through Hongnong, but he didn't want to withdraw his troops.
After all, when he came, he swore that he would make a military order in front of Hu Cai, saying that he must bring Liu Weiren's head back.
If you return in vain, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
No, absolutely not!
At this time, a fresh wheat fragrance entered Geng Jian's nostrils.
Geng Jianli immediately asked his soldiers of the White Polish Army: "Is this the fragrance coming from there?" ”
The soldier of the Baibo Army replied: "General Qiyu, we have found that there is a wheat field cultivated by the people of Hongnong not far away, and now it is almost autumn, and the wheat is about to ripen. ”
"Oh? Really? When Geng Jian heard this, a glint appeared in his eyes: "Hehe, that's great, General Chuanben ordered that all those wheat fields be burned." ”
"I want to see, seeing that the food that is about to be destroyed is destroyed, can Liu Wei still be indifferent?"
Hearing such an order, the soldiers of the White Polish Army showed shocked expressions: "General, this is not very good, right? If the wheat is destroyed, how will the people of Hongnong survive next? ”
The soldiers of the White Polish Army were all peasants, so they knew very well that the common people who made a living from farming were most looking forward to a bumper grain harvest at the end of the year.
If the wheat fields that have been cultivated with so much effort and care are destroyed, it is no different from killing them.
However, for Geng Jian, not to mention his original intention, his conscience has long been abandoned.
Seeing that the soldiers of the Baibo Army refused to carry out the order, Geng Jian scolded and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, those Hongnong people are all Liu Wei's people, what does it matter to me whether they survive or not?" ”
"Hurry up and take action, destroy the farmland for me, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law!"
Under Geng Jian's reprimand, the soldiers of the Baibo Army had no choice but to walk towards the wheat field, and they were close and wreaked havoc.
In Hongnong City, when they learned that the wheat fields had been destroyed, the people were anxious and wanted to go out of the city to stop them.
Of course, Liu Wei did not allow them to go out of the city, and warned them that if they went out of the city now, they would go to find death, and they would definitely die under the butcher's knife of the Bai Bo army.
"Your Highness, I know that you are for our good, but our family is counting on that ripe wheat field to live, if the Bai Bo army is destroyed, what will our family do next?" A middle-aged man knelt down in front of Liu Wei and cried.
And all the other people said pitifully,
"Yes, Your Highness, those wheat fields are our life."
"We've been working early and late for more than half a year, and now it's finally time to harvest the fruits, and we can't let those beasts be ruined like this!"
