Chapter 1648 The Granary Was Burned
After the prisoner was let go by the lieutenant general, he killed a soldier, changed his clothes, hid the body, and swaggered in his identity in the barracks.

Not only did they not succeed in their night raid yesterday, they were also beaten to death. Now that he is released, he must avenge his dead brother.

The prisoner went to the place where the food was placed, which was the most strictly guarded place in the entire barracks, but it happened to be the shift time for him, so he sneaked in while the soldiers were shifting.

Food is an indispensable thing for marching and fighting. It can be said that food is the backbone of soldiers. If there is no food, it will destroy the spirit of soldiers.

After the prisoner set fire, he left the barracks immediately. Since he was wearing the clothes of a Chu Qing army soldier, no one noticed.

When the soldiers guarding the food found the fire, they immediately started to put out the fire. Bucket after bucket of water poured on the fire, but they still couldn't control the fire.

When Chu Qing learned that the food was burned, he rushed over immediately. Seeing the raging fire, he didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly commanded: "Come on, move out the surrounding food first, and the others continue to fight the fire. Don't let the fire spread." .”

Under the command of Chu Qing, a small part of the food was rescued, and the rest were still being burned by the fire. In the end, the fire was out of control. In order not to cause casualties, Chu Qing had no choice but to give up saving the food and ordered the soldiers to burn the surrounding area. Take precautions so that no other place catches fire again.

Chu Qing looked at the mess on the ground, and asked in a deep voice: "Why did it suddenly catch fire? Who are guarding the food and grass?"

"General Qi, we are guarding it." A few soldiers knelt on the ground and said, they looked up at Chu Qing and said, "But we don't know why the fire suddenly started? The fire started from the inside. "

Chu Qing frowned. According to the current weather and temperature, spontaneous combustion is impossible at all, so it means that someone set the fire on purpose.Could it be the lieutenant again?

"General, general, something is wrong."

Chu Qing turned around and looked at the soldiers who were rushing towards him, and said in a deep voice, "What happened again?"

The man didn't have time to salute, and said anxiously: "The prisoner we caught last night escaped, and he killed one of us."

"General Chu, he might have set the fire." Another soldier next to him said.

Chu Qing's face was very ugly. They were attacked last night. Although they turned defeat into victory, they also caused a lot of casualties. Today the grain and grass were burned again, which was a big blow to the soldiers in the barracks.

The soldiers standing next to each other looked at each other, lowered their heads and asked, "General Chu, now the food and grass are burned, what should we do next?"

Chu Qing frowned as he walked towards the tent, and said, "Send a few people to chase after the escaped captives, and tell them that if they find something wrong during the pursuit, they should return immediately and not act without authorization. Also, let the spies continue to inquire about the enemy's movements. The sneak attack failed last night, so we will definitely take action and pay close attention to all the enemy's movements. In addition, find three more skilled people to come to see me."

"Yes, General."

After Chu Qing returned to the tent, he immediately wrote to the emperor to report the burning of the grain and grass, and asked the emperor to send the grain as soon as possible.The battle between the two sides is just around the corner, food and grass are essential for marching and fighting, if there is no food and grass support, the soldiers' psychological defense will soon collapse, which is a very bad thing for them.

Chu Qing handed the letter to the soldiers and ordered them to send the letter to the city quickly and hand it over to the emperor himself.And told them to pay close attention to the surrounding movements on the way to deliver the letter, so as not to be intercepted by the enemy.
