Chapter 14: Brother-in-law Don't Ask for Follow-up
"Unknown attack?"
"Burned all the grain and grass?"
Hearing such news, Fu Youdewei'an's body couldn't help but tremble.
The grain and grass prepared by the Banzhou Yang clan in the southeast direction is not much, but it is definitely a lot.
At least the army he led can last at least a month if they save food.
A month!
An army of 100,000, with about 200,000 logistics and miscellaneous servants, is really an emergency, that is, an army of 300,000.
With such a large army, the daily consumption of supplies is astronomical.
It's good now, so many materials prepared by Banzhou Yang at one time have an accident!
Fu Youde was furious, and he didn't have time to deal with the Yang family's people, so he immediately summoned the generals he brought and rushed to the southeast.
He can be sure of one thing, when the barracks is on fire, Fu Si and the others will definitely put out the fire as soon as possible, and at the same time, they will also send people to rule him.
From the Yang Mansion to the Southeast Military Camp, it was about twenty or thirty miles, and it took at least nearly two quarters of an hour to rush over non-stop.
In other words, the fire had not been extinguished, and had been burning for at least two quarters of an hour, and now it had spread like this, so that they could observe it here.
To put it more bluntly, I'm afraid that the supplies were really burned out.
That is, this fire, there is a big problem!
The wine tasting was not over yet, and there were a large number of people in the Yang Mansion, and many people saw dozens of people running out on BMWs, and instinctively realized that something was wrong.
Seeing that many leaders of the Yang family were mourning, it once again confirmed the speculation.
It seems that something really happened!
"Look, fire, raging fire......"
Some unrelated people saw the fire in the southeast direction and pointed in that direction and shouted.
"Oh really!"
"What a big fire ......"
"I've never seen such a big fire!"
A group of people followed the instructions and looked over, all kinds of exclamations continued, and many people ate the melons of this era with the mentality of watching the excitement.
The Yang family was in a hurry, and they lost their square inches for a while.
Yang Tianlin was still trying to please Fu Youde, but he was upset enough.
It's good now, I have prepared grain and grass for a long time in advance, and I think that I can take Fu Youde's line and maintain the prosperity and wealth of the Yang family forever......
After all, contributing to the Pingnan War and with the blessing of this talisman, even if the imperial court strengthens its ties with Qianzhou and sends batch after batch of officials to Guizhou, he can still enjoy endless prosperity and wealth by planting the Yang clan in Guizhou.
But now it's good!
Something went wrong.
Yang Tianlin didn't have time to make arrangements for the personnel of the mansion, so he summoned people as soon as possible, mounted his horse, and headed southeast.
Without Yang Tianlin presiding, the Yang Mansion was even more chaotic.
Many people watch the play without being too lively, and they keep coaxing.
Even many of the guests made a little move.
In this wine tasting, there are indeed a lot of good wines, if you can get some now, the harvest is definitely worth it!
If you can get the best finale wine, it will be even more profitable.
Many people are looking for traces of Yang Guo and want to hit the luck.
Yang Wushuang was still presiding over affairs in the mansion, and when he saw the chaotic scene, he also sent additional people to guard the courtyard where Yang Guo was located as soon as possible, and did not let any idle people enter.
If it weren't for the fact that he was too busy, he would still want to take the time to stare at Yang Guo.
It's a pity that because he was too busy, he couldn't determine whether Zhao Cheng was still in the house.
When the Yang Mansion became lively, Zhao Cheng had already confirmed the news from various calls.
Now, it's about the same time.
Immediately secretly knocked over a guard, dragged him to the bed, pretending to be resting, and climbed onto the roof, hiding in the dark, witnessing the chaos of the Yang Mansion, and also looking for time and opportunity, ready to sneak out.
In fact, Zhao Cheng's real purpose is very simple, which is to set fire to grain and grass.
The rain with the smell of wine is his masterpiece.
Not only alcohol, but also several barrels of gasoline at the location of the barracks.
There are a lot of motorcycles in the system space of Zhaocheng, and some gasoline is also brought by the way.
For this plan, most of it was consumed.
In the future, you will have to save some time on motorcycles.
Moreover, it is necessary to speed up the development plan and hurry up to find oil.
……
Because of the alcohol, because of the oil, Hua 13 and others lit fires in many places, and the fire spread rapidly~
With such a fire, even if there were 40,000 troops stationed in the barracks, and Fu Youde left hundreds of cavalry, the fire could not be extinguished after all.
Even under the blazing fire, a large number of people were burned.
Perhaps, there were some casualties.
Zhao Cheng didn't see all this with his own eyes, but he could think of the result.
After this change, Yang's loss may not be a tragic one that can be described.
The loss of the imperial court will be incalculable!
Because this fire directly burned the grain and grass of the army for a month, it would directly affect the march and the layout of the war......
Of course, this is also Zhao Cheng's main purpose.
When the army is deployed, logistics is the most important.
If the logistics are not successful, the army is doomed to collapse.
No matter how disciplined an army is, no matter how powerful an army is, it is difficult to burst into combat effectiveness if it does not have enough to eat.
Even in serious moments, it can seriously drag its feet...... In the end, it will end in a fiasco.
Zhao Cheng didn't want to bury the Ming army, nor did he want to fight the Ming in an all-out way from the beginning.
He doesn't have this power, and he doesn't have this strength!
It still has to be lewd and developed.
Development is king!
Zhao Cheng found the opportunity, immediately jumped off the eaves, looked at the southwest like an ordinary person, and let out a little exclamation from time to time.
Of course, he also followed the flow of people and walked towards the outside of the Yang Mansion.
Two gifts were prepared today, one is to burn the southeast military camp, and the other is to present the national liquor Moutai for the Yang's wine tasting meeting.
The burning of the barracks now seems to be a complete task.
This spreading fire, if it doesn't burn for ten days and half a month, I'm afraid it won't end easily.
Even if there is a Yang clan to organize an army and mobilize residents to extinguish the fire together.
But in such an era, the organizational ability is limited, and the fire extinguishing equipment is very primitive, and it is basically very capable of artificially extinguishing fires.
I can only pray that a heavy rain will save those mountains.
The purpose of the other gift is also accomplished.
Zhao Cheng offered a bottle of Kweichow Moutai, but it caused a gap between Fu Youde and Yang, and even made their relationship worse, which is very worthwhile!
Fu Youde and Banzhou Yang's separation from Germany is great news for Zhao Cheng.
Even more important than burning all that grain and grass!
Grain and grass, after all, are dead.
Moreover, there is no shortage of grain and grass in Banzhou, and at most the Yang family adopts some high-pressure policies to increase the burden on the common people, and a large amount of grain can be collected in a short time.
……
Zhao Cheng didn't think much about it, and left the Yang Mansion with the flow of people, preparing to return to the tavern to see if he could sneak out of the city tomorrow.
Everything went smoothly and there were no twists and turns.
When Zhao Cheng waved Dongcheng District, Yang Wushuang also sent someone to check Yang Guo's room, and after seeing someone lying on the bed, he didn't bother, and returned directly to Director Yang.
After Yang Wushuang gave a few words, he continued to command his subordinates, evacuate the masses, and maintain order in the mansion.
"There are more pedestrians on the streets."
Qiu Yun walked down the street, looked at the pedestrians returning from the city, and said naturally.
Now that the night market has ended, except for a few restaurants opening, only those places at night are brightly lit, and so many pedestrians are still rare.
"Nonsense, Yang's wine tasting is over, these people are not allowed to go home to sleep?"
Chen Xi didn't have a good temper, especially when he found a familiar back not long ago, but he finally lost it, which made him angry and his temper became irritable.
"I think it's not just a matter of the wine tasting, it's probably the fire in the southwest that has attracted a lot of people."
Qiuyun is also used to it, she is a person who can't be idle, especially her mouth can't be idle.
It's better to have someone to talk to her than to talk to herself, right?!
"Yes, yes!" Chen Xi looked at the southwest, he had already noticed the fire.
Although he is one of the thousand households of Jinyiwei, his current task is to find the gods and demons Zhao Cheng for His Royal Highness the Prince, even if he guessed that the place where the fire started was a military camp and where the grain and grass were, he didn't think to go over to see the situation.
In the matter of grain and grass, it is not his turn to intervene in a small role like him.
In the same way, there is no need for him to eat radishes with salt and worry about it.
"Why don't we go over and have a look?"
Qiuyun rubbed his little hands, and also wanted to go over to join in the fun.
This fire, which began to show signs and spread to the mountains in just a quarter of an hour, is obviously not normal.
Moreover, it just rained not long ago.
It's not normal to think that such a humid environment can still ignite such a big fire!
"It's boring~"
Chen Xi never forgot his mission and had no interest in this fire.
Although, he also paid attention to the war of the Ming Dynasty against Yunnan, and also wished the Ming all the best.
But everything going well is clearly unrealistic.
Da Ming once mobilized all the Jinyi guards to chase and kill one person, but in the end he was defeated.
Such a small event, which is not a big event, has encountered ups and downs of one kind or another, let alone such a huge matter as pacifying Yunnan?
If you want to have smooth sailing, it is naturally impossible.
But Chen Xi believes that Yunnan will definitely be pacified!
There is no doubt about that!
"Does your daughter-in-law often say that you are boring?"
Qiuyun said a question, but the content was obviously an affirmative sentence.
"You're boring......" Chen Xi looked at Qiu Yun and replied angrily, but his pupils suddenly contracted.
Qiu Yun immediately noticed that something was wrong with Chen Xi, and thought that this person had some improper thoughts, but she suddenly found that the object of his pupils was not her.
“?”
She still had questions and wanted to ask, but Chen Xi pushed her away violently and rushed towards the flow of people in front of her.
He saw it!
That person, it must be him!
It's definitely him, can't be wrong, it's definitely him!
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way......"
Chen Xi's speed was extremely fast, his reaction was extraordinary, and he rushed directly towards Zhao Cheng.
When Chen Xi found Zhao Cheng, Zhao Cheng also saw him, threw away the lantern in his hand as soon as possible, turned and ran out.
"Damn, I know that Jinyiwei is in Dongcheng District, why am I still running here?"
Zhao Cheng couldn't help but scold in his heart, he was negligent this time, and he shouldn't have swaggered over.
The previous time Chen Xi discovered his back, but after all, he was not sure that it was him, and Zhao Cheng reacted quickly and left Chen Xi's field of vision directly, which was the reason why Zhao Cheng was able to get rid of it smoothly.
But this time, the two looked at each other, obviously confirming that the eyes were the right people......
Zhao Cheng didn't run, wait for the Jinyi guard to come over!
There are many pedestrians, which is an advantage for Zhao Cheng in a certain way.
But this advantage is not huge, almost equal to none.
On the contrary, it has become a very big disadvantage!
Because, Zhao Cheng's physical fitness and reaction ability are far inferior to Chen Xi.
The only thing he deterred Chen Xi was powerful firearms, which were the products of science and technology hundreds of years later......
And in the crowd, Zhao Cheng can't take out his pistol and attack directly, right?
He is not a virgin, and he is only a moment of repentance in the face of the fact that he created such a fire.
This fire will cause casualties and cause a lot of damage, which is a great disaster for the people in this area......
Zhao Cheng had expected all this a long time ago.
But he did it anyway!
But if Zhao Cheng is allowed to shoot innocent people directly, it is absolutely impossible!
Doing something and not doing something, this is one of Zhao Cheng's guidelines.
But it was for one reason or another that Zhao Cheng was seriously constrained, and the distance between the two sides was constantly narrowed.
There was no way, Zhao Cheng could only quickly adjust his direction, avoid the flow of people, and rush into the darkness.
The idea was good, but it was a little slower after all.
Especially after losing the shelter of the crowd, Chen Xi's speed was completely displayed, and the speed of the 100-meter sprint, Su Shen was embarrassed when he saw it.
He jumped over like a cornice, and stood firmly in front of Zhao Cheng.
"Little Hou Ye, I have no malicious ......"
For the first time, Chen Xi decisively raised his hands, and even threw the embroidered spring knife that he regarded as his own life on the ground.
"Bang Dang~"
The crisp voice of the embroidered spring knife came, making Zhao Cheng understand that the Chen Xi in front of him was a very little threat to him.
He was still a little surprised, what the hell is this guy trying to do?
Zhao Cheng held the gun in both hands, fully prepared.
He didn't believe Chen Xi after all, and even he had murderous intentions towards Chen Xi.
If he has a chance, he will definitely kill him and avenge Zhang Fenxiu!
Although many people preach that all people are equal, in reality people are not equal.
At least, from a personal point of view, one's own life, or the life of the person he cares about, must be the life of an enemy or someone he doesn't know is more important!
Zhao Cheng thought the same way.
In his heart, Zhang Fenxiu's life alone is much more precious than the lives of everyone in Jinyiwei.
"Little Marquis, I don't do anything for the court now, I'm doing things for His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to find you, he wants to make a deal with you......"
Seeing that Zhao Cheng did not mobilize firearms at the first time, Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly explained, wanting to communicate with Zhao Cheng calmly.
Although he is a strong grandmaster said by the Jianghu people, he has to kneel in the face of firearms.
No matter how high the kung fu is, I am afraid of kitchen knives!
As strong as the sweeping monk Zhang Bixian, the commander Mao Erhu and others were all folded in the hands of Zhao Cheng, Chen Xi was naturally not conceited enough to survive under Zhao Cheng's gun.
"Huh? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Zhao Cheng chuckled, what deal could he and the crown prince Zhu Biao do?
It's nothing more than Zhu Biao wanting to save his son and mother!
But what does this have to do with him Zhao Cheng?
His Zhao family in Zhaocheng was beheaded by Zhu Chongba, and his first person in this world also died because of the Zhu family......
Why did he go to save Queen Ma and Zhu Xiongying?
They died, and Zhu Chongba suffered the back pain of the death of the person he loved the most, this is what Zhao Cheng wants to see the most!
"I said that day, in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Chongba lost his grandson and wife, this is his fate that he can't change, he deserves it, and he deserves it!"
Zhao Cheng roared, how could he save Zhu Xiongying and Queen Ma now?
"Also, you also have a share in my wife's death, I haven't asked you for this blood debt yet, since you sent it yourself, then I will send you on the road......"
"Brother-in-law, don't do it!"
"Bang!"
