"Is everything in place? Is there any oversight?"
The night is already deep, but my restless heart makes me unable to sleep.
"If you tell me back to the master, everything is in order. Prince Yu will definitely be happy, and it is also the master's great contribution."
Wang Weiran got up, walked slowly to the wall, and opened the window.
It was pitch dark outside and nothing could be seen clearly. The stars in the sky were too far away and their light was too dim, making his thoughts wander.
"I can't believe that the one who will eventually take over the world is Zuo Mengeng."
If Zuo Mengeng was in front of him, he would definitely not dare to admit it.
The then high-spirited Prince Wang in Linqing has now become a wealthy member of the Communist Party of China. He has a round face under a mustache and a philistine shrewdness in his eyes.
The old servant was a little puzzled.
"Our family has some connection with Zuo Mengeng. If the master goes to Zuo Mengeng, he should be able to preserve his glory and wealth. Why..."
He didn't finish speaking, but how could Wang Weiran not understand?
"It's too late, there is no turning back. Do you think Zuo Mengeng doesn't know what we are doing? If we fall into his hands, life will be worse than death."
Seeing the panic in the old servant's face, Wang Weiran comforted him and said: "Don't panic. With today's great achievements, we will not be far worse when we come to Liaodong. Ning Wanwo, Hong Chengchou and the others are either down-and-out scholars or prisoners of war. You can control the wind and rain. With your master’s ability, how difficult will it be for you to become a general or a prime minister in the future?”
】
These words made the old servant smile again.
Just as he was about to say a few words of compliment, a bright color suddenly flashed across his face.
Both of them were surprised at the same time and quickly turned their heads.
Then I saw that the sky in the east of the city was filled with red light, and the fire started a prairie fire.
Wang Weiran felt cold all over.
"Quick! Go put out the fire! Food, food must not be lost."
The entire Wang family went crazy and gathered all the people and went straight to the granary in the east of the city.
Wang Weiran allowed himself to be supported by his old servant, kicking deeply and lightly in the dark, and felt no pain even after falling several times.
If all the food is burned and Dodo's army has no supplies, then everything will be over.
Finally out of the city, the granary is not far away.
The scalding heat wave in the air hit his face, as if Wang Weiran's heart was on fire.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go put out the fire quickly?"
His anger received no response.
The servants of the Wang family all stood there shivering, not daring to move forward.
Wang Weiran didn't understand why, and when he got to the front, he almost fainted on the spot.
I saw corpses spread out on the road ahead.
They are all members of their Wang family.
"what happened?"
"Master, we don't know either. Once we get here, we can't get through. Anyone who dares to go forward will be shot by arrows. None of Wang San and the others survived."
Wang Weiran was heartbroken and watched helplessly as the fire in the granary spread.
There were more than 3,000 people guarding the granary, but it was even set on fire.
One can imagine how powerful the opponent is.
But it’s impossible not to put out the fire, that’s Duduo’s life-saving food!
"Trash! Go get some shields and a table. Why bother?"
After being scolded by him, the people below suddenly realized.
After a while, they all moved forward cautiously with their shields, tabletops, and wooden boards in their hands.
This time no arrows came.
Replaced with new things.
Thick and big.
Still with fire.
It roared into the crowd and then exploded, killing more than a dozen people at once.
This was so serious that all the servants of the Wang family were frightened and retreated even faster.
Wang Weiran's eyes were bloodshot and he was completely crazy.
"Pull up the cannon and blow up these shameless ghosts for me."
The Wang family has cannons.
Wang Weiran helped the Qing Dynasty purchase bronze artillery from the empire, how could he not keep some in his hands?
Several bronze cannons were pushed up, and the Wang family's servants hurriedly loaded the ammunition, and then fired randomly into the darkness.
They had no idea where the enemy was, but the roar of the cannons added to the momentum and gave them some peace of mind.
Wang Weiran listened carefully, wanting to feel the screams of the enemy.
As a result, there was nothing in the dark night.
Their cannons were like swatting away mosquitoes.
"Okay, some Xiaoxiao have been driven away, hurry up and put out the fire."
The servants of the Wang family were once again driven towards the granary.
This time there were no bows or rockets.
So is it safe?
boom……
A powerful explosion sounded again, and more than a dozen people were sent to the sky.
But this time the explosion was very sudden, with no warning at all in advance.
When the servants of the Wang family escaped and returned, Wang Weiran spat out a mouthful of blood.
He knows more than others.
The invisible enemies actually laid mines on the way to the granary.
Bows, arrows and rockets are powerful, but they can be seen and touched. But in this dark midnight, the mines underfoot were terrifying.
And I don’t know how many were buried...
Who dares to take a step further?
Wang Weiran was helpless.
All the servants of the Wang family were frightened.
Thousands of people were trapped in place, watching the fire in the granary a few miles away grow bigger and bigger, eventually engulfing everything.
Duduo finally crossed the Yellow River and entered Shanxi.
Then he received a blow.
"What did you say? All the food was destroyed? Who did it?"
Wang Weiran knelt in front of Duduo in despair.
"This slave is incompetent and has betrayed the prince's trust. He will never be able to redeem himself until death."
Duduo's eyes were so wet that he really wanted to order Wang Weiran to be dragged down and killed.
But when the words came to his lips, there was only endless sadness left.
Now that the matter has come to this, what’s the point of killing Wang Weiran or not?
Without food, how long can the tens of thousands of troops he has at his disposal be able to hold on?
Thinking of the distance of the next march, Duduo's scalp went numb.
"Instruct all ministries to speed up the march. When encountering cities and villages along the way, collect food on the spot."
"Grain collection" are just two ordinary words, but when they come out of his mouth, they must mean horrific killings.
In order to return home, the Qing army began to fight tooth and nail.
In just three days, the entire Qing army crossed the Yellow River and began to move north along the Fen Valley.
But Duduo soon felt that his idea was destined to be impossible to realize.
Marching all the way, wherever I passed, there was nothing.
The city is empty, and so are the villages.
There are no pedestrians on the road and no smoke in the countryside.
It was as if no one had ever existed between heaven and earth.
Without people, there is no food.
Although it is close to the Fen River, drinking water is not a problem. But without food, you will be hungry and have no strength.
How far can the Qing army go?
"Someone must have tipped off the news in advance and made those untouchables hide. People can definitely be found in these mountains."
Duduo raised his head and looked around. The surrounding mountains were vast and endless.
If you search the mountains, you will definitely be able to find those hiding people, and you will definitely be able to find food.
"Report, Your Majesty, the rear team has reported that the forward of the Chinese army has arrived at Pinglu, and is only seventy miles away from our army."
A shadow cast over the hearts of the Qing generals.
The Wehrmacht came so quickly!
