It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 662

Cheng Dalei has been sitting on his feet day by day, which is already a thorn in Song Bokang's eyes. He must deal with him, or he will turn around and deal with himself sooner or later.

Song Bokang understood this matter, and Cheng Dalei also understood.

Sooner or later, the two armies will face each other, but that moment has not happened yet.

With the expansion of Shuofang City, Song Bokang had already sent more than a dozen scouts to infiltrate the city, and after only one month of good weather with high dark winds, he used a fire to burn down the farmland outside the city.

First use the grain-breaker plan, and then start to deal with Cheng Dalei.

Thousands of acres of fertile land outside the city, although the fish-character army guards the fish, but there is no chance for it, and it is almost impossible.

This night was a month of dark and windy weather. Cheng Dalei nestled in the house, listening to the wind whistling outside. There was neither Su Ying nor Fan Lihua in front of him. There is only one Xu Shenji who takes a sip of wine and eats peanuts from time to time.

"Master, it's not a solution for you to hide like this?" Xu Shenji suddenly said.

Cheng Dalei jolted abruptly: "What do you mean by hiding? Who do you need to hide from? You didn't see how busy Shuofangcheng is now, I just can't get away."

"I didn't say what the big bosses were hiding. Why should the big bosses make such a fuss. Some places don't have 300 taels of silver, and some don't make a fool of themselves."

Xu Shenji's wretched eyes showed a hint of cunning. This surprised Cheng Dalei, and another thing that surprised him was that Xu Shenji knew the words "don't attack yourself".

And Cheng Dalei had to admit that Xu Shenji was right. He relaxed like a punctured balloon, took a sip of wine, and sighed helplessly.

"I am annoyed by being ruthless, and sometimes I am quite envious of you, the military advisor. When you grow up like you, there will be no such troubles."

Xu Shenji touched his chin and felt that what Cheng Dalei said was wrong. If Cheng Dalei was tall and burly, then he should be elegant, after all, it was not much worse.

"Speaking of which, why is the military division no longer a relative?"

Now that Xu Shenji is in a semi-retired state, he doesn't need his advice on normal schedules. Of course, he has never made any plans. In this way, it has confirmed his position as the first military division of the cottage. After all, he is a master, and masters are not easy to shoot. Now even Heshen felt that there was a big gap between himself and Xu Junshi.

And with his current status, it's not a big deal to become a marriage. Usually, Xu Shenji is just wandering around in the streets, but he doesn't seem to have thought about it.

"Hey, people are old, and some thoughts shouldn't be there anymore. Adding someone in the house is also troublesome."

Cheng Dalei had to give him a thumbs up: "The military division is a sensible person."

"It's normal, it's normal."

At this moment, there was a sound of gongs and drums outside, and someone shouted loudly: "Go to the water, go to the water."

Xu Shenji was agitated, and he assured the wine glass: "The boss, where is the water, should we go and see."

In fact, Cheng Dalei was a little too lazy to look at it. After all, if he had to do everything by himself, it would be useless to talk to Shen. However, since he was in Shuofang City and there was nothing left or right, Cheng Dalei simply went out to have a look.

The two put on robes, and as soon as they opened the door, a night wind blew into their arms.

"Hey, it's very windy."

Cheng Dalei said subconsciously, and at the same time was a little worried, the wind borrows the fire, and the fire helps the wind.

He and Xu Shenji hurriedly left the City Lord's Mansion, followed the firelight to find them, saw the crowd gathered around, and saw Cheng Dalei coming in, and hurriedly handed over: "The big boss."

Cheng Dalei nodded: "What's the situation?"

"It's not too serious, the person who set the fire was caught."

"Hey, there are arsonists?"

"This person has a few accomplices. General Zhang's people are hunting him down. The interrogation has been made clear just now, and he was sent by Liangzhou."

He Shen briefly explained the current situation. The arsonist came from Liangzhou City. He had a particularly good idea. He set fire to the city and attracted the attention of the defenders. In addition, people lying in ambush outside the city set fire to the wheat fields.

But they underestimated Heshen's ability. Under Heshen's rectification, the whole city was like an iron barrel, and there were endless patrols in the city.

The man was caught on fire by the patrol team as soon as he set it on fire, and he threw up everything after three punches and two kicks.

Cheng Dalei frowned after hearing this: "I can't be careless, is there a problem?"

He Shen's face was ugly. He originally wanted to show Cheng Dalei something while Cheng Dalei was in Shuofang City. Who would have expected someone to set fire to food. If the fire burns, put your face there.

"Don't worry, the boss, everything is covered by the subordinates, and the enemy's trickery will never be allowed to succeed."

"Why don't I go outside the city with you to see?"

"Let's go to rest. If something goes wrong this time, I will meet with a certain head."

He Shen said so decisively, and Cheng Dalei was not too reluctant. After all, he has to learn to let go of power and give Heshen a certain amount of trust.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news. I'll treat you to a drink tomorrow night."

"Yes."

Cheng Dalei and Xu Shenji returned to the City Lord's Mansion, but they were still a little worried, after all, it was about the future of a city.

And what happened today also told Cheng Dalei another message: Song Bokang decided to do something to himself.

In addition, this also shows that the Prime Minister's residence has solved the troubles in Chang'an, but he does not know what Li Letian's situation is now.

The long night was long, and there was no intention to sleep. Cheng Dalei and Xu Shenji held the stove to keep warm, roasted some peanuts and apples, and stayed up for a long time.

After Cheng Dalei left, He Shen's face was so black that even Zhang Fei was a little scared when he saw it.

"General Zhang, you have heard what I said to the big boss just now. If things don't go well today, my head will be moved."

"Good talk, good talk."

"So, don't blame someone for giving orders." He Shen coughed lightly: "Order 3,000 people out of the city. If a thief is released today, he will be buried with Hemou with someone else's head."

Zhang Fei was shocked. He didn't usually look down on scholars like Heshen very much, but the ruthlessness of scholars was really chilling.

The army of three thousand fat characters left the city and swept the surrounding farmland. Guan Yu has been informed and remains on alert.

Liangzhou City dispatched about a hundred people this time, and they only waited for the fire in the city to start operations. But the public security committee in the city is really good. They were caught as soon as a small fire was set off, and the fire they were waiting for never started.

After that, he was swept away by Zhang Fei's fat character army, and then hurriedly scattered birds and beasts, and Zhang Fei's order was to catch alive.

Of course, this was Heshen's order.
