It was hard for the generals stationed in the Kabul Valley to say anything about this. After all, Bishop Ashacheng had always behaved rigidly and uprightly. In addition, the grain gathering plan was also proposed by the other party, and the responsibility was shouldered by the other party alone, so it was understandable that the pressure would be high.
Therefore, even if someone neglected their duties and their group was affected, they could only bow their heads. What's more, Chen Zhong didn't ask for any other power. He just took away the responsibility of patrolling the food and grass gathering point in front of everyone.
This is not a bad thing for all the left-behind generals in Kushan. A responsible boss who is directly related to the gathering of grain and grass can manage this in person. At least there will be no mistakes. Therefore, in the face of Chen Zhong’s scolding, Kushan
The left-behind general handed over the patrol and inspection power of the new granary to Chen Zhong without any objection.
"Kulma, the rest is up to you." After Chen Zhong took over all the patrol rights of the granary, he assigned the task to Kulma.
Chen Zhongshi didn't want to think about the crazy food transportation problem anymore. He wanted to get rid of it first.
"I'm sure how to set the fire before starting. The scale is a bit outrageous. You can't burn it all if you want to." Kurma nodded and said, "I will also check the relevant grain and grass transportation channels. I can kill them.
Kill them all as much as possible."
"I'll leave it to you. Next, I'll see if I fake my death and escape, or what to do." Chen Zhong expressed satisfaction with Kulma's proposal. The black-clothed law enforcers of their Zoroastrian sect are quite capable.
The execution ability is still there.
"None of this is important. What is important is that after the matter is completed, the county chief will be in place quickly." Kurma looked at his boss very seriously and said, they don't care much whether he works or not, but the county chief must be in place, as long as the county chief
If the master is in place, there will be no problem if the execution and motivation are increased by 200.
"No problem, don't fight hard after the thing is done, and retreat quickly. We don't need to fight with the people in Kabul. When we get back, we can raise the flag to express the independence of Bactria." Chen Zhong said decisively, to this extent.
, it is no longer possible to continue to live in Guishang. It is time for the Chen family to go ashore and let the Xun family continue to struggle.
By the way, Chen Zhong had actually guessed what the Xun family wanted to do, and borrowed chickens to lay eggs. However, the Chen family was not very optimistic about this matter. Even if Xun Qi got the inheritance rights, he was not exposed in the end.
, in the end it is still a question whether this inheritance right can be used.
"Why don't we fight with the defenders of Kabul here?" Kurma is really ruthless. After making up his mind, he didn't hesitate at all to attack these former colleagues. To be honest, he was even more cruel than Chen Zhong.
ruthless.
At least people like Chen Zhongqian don't have any psychological pressure. They are enemies. And Kurma knows many people here. The black-clothed law enforcers of the Zoroastrian sect are also quite famous. As a result, Kurma did it.
These people are even more ruthless than Chen Zhong.
"Forget it, I'm worried that you can't beat them." Chen Zhong waved his hand and said. There is no need to talk about the joke of treating Kurma or something like death. There is no point in wasting such a talent here, or
It would be in the Chen family's interest to take him back.
"It's a bit difficult to win, but there's no point in taking advantage of the turmoil to intercept and kill a group of people." Kurma said very seriously. After hearing this, Chen Zhong thought about it for a while again, but still rejected the proposal. It was meaningless. Kill the food and grass.
This was the greatest help to Cao Cao.
After achieving this step, the Chen family has done what they should have done. Now it depends on Cao Cao's performance. If Cao Cao still doesn't win, Chen Zhong has no good solution.
That night, Chen Zhong sent someone to take over the patrol team of the entire granary, and then replaced the patrol team one by one with the ones he brought from Bactria, and began to conduct a detailed survey of the gathering points of grain and grass to determine how to set fire.
This food can be burned as quickly as possible.
Naturally, there was no way to hide such meticulous behavior from the other generals who stayed behind. However, these people not only did not feel doubts about Chen Zhong's behavior, but instead marveled at it. What is meticulous and serious, that's it.
After spending two full days, Chen Zhong studied the structure of the new granary in detail, and after ensuring that it was basically impossible to put out the fire after setting it out, he decided to take action during the day.
After all, if a fire is set at night, such a large granary will definitely be illuminated by flames. Soldiers from all directions may be able to see it. Guishang is not a fool. Countless people must rush over to put out the fire. In this case, it will not cause trouble for the Chen family to burn food.
?
After all, this is the food and fodder for an army of hundreds of thousands of people for more than half a year, and it will take a while to burn it. When the fire does not completely cover the granary, the other party will try their best to grab the food from the granary, and more or less they will be able to grab some.
Therefore, it is better to set a fire during the day. If you set a fire during the day, at least the soldiers who are a little further away will not notice that the granary is on fire. After all, in broad daylight, the firelight cannot travel too far. Only the black smoke rising straight into the sky will attract people's attention. But this
It's no longer a problem.
"Ah, is there black smoke coming out of the granary?" A soldier patrolling a dozen miles away asked strangely as he saw a column of smoke appearing in the sky.
"Yes." Another Kushan soldier replied perfunctorily.
"The food and grass are emitting black smoke, why don't we go to the rescue quickly?" Another soldier on the side said with a panicked look.
"It's not that the granary is on fire. It's Bishop Ashacheng who is studying beacon towers. He said that he is learning from the beacon tower experience of the Han Dynasty and plans to build several beacon towers for our camp so that if we are attacked, we can rely on this
Make contact." The soldier who was not at all panicked said calmly, "We noticed it during the patrol two days ago."
This is the reason given by Chen Zhong. This reason is very accurate. In addition, no one has doubted Chen Zhong's true thoughts so far. Therefore, from this perspective, Beacon Tower's research can be regarded as a very good early warning plan.
"It seems that Bishop Asha Cheng's beacon tower has really been successfully developed." At the camp thirty miles away, the cavalry captain stationed there said with emotion as he looked at the billowing black smoke.
It is said that these people did not see the beacon smoke at all when they were first set off. They even learned that Bishop Ashacheng was studying the beacon tower. This was because Chen Zhong sent someone over some time ago to ask if they had seen the beacon smoke. Of course they had not.
Anyone saw it, because Chen Zhong didn't set it off at all, so how could anyone see it?
It's just that these people preconceived the idea that Bishop Ashacheng was doing research, and the technology might not be in place, so they didn't see it when they were a little further away.
In fact, when I asked, Chen Zhong had not set up beacons yet. He just wanted to give this group of people the impression that he was building beacon towers. In the next few days, beacons appeared from time to time at the granary, but the color was a bit light.
, it’s hard to see clearly if you’re a little further away.
But even so, Chen Zhong persevered and sent people to inquire, saying that he would strengthen the research on the beacon tower and build such a thing for Kushan.
Not to mention whether this thing is useful or not, Nangui may have some use, and Zhu Helai has already used it. Beigui has no need for beacon towers in such a terrible terrain.
However, there were few smart people among the generals who could not stand it. Even if there were some, it would be impossible to persuade Chen Zhong, so Chen Zhong worked hard to build a beacon tower. Finally, today, billowing black smoke came out, and no one felt that it was possible.
There is something wrong with this black smoke.
"Congratulations, congratulations, it seems that Bishop Ashacheng has really completed the beacon tower." Dadatu, a strong man with internal energy who was staying in the Kabul Valley, saw someone riding a horse in the distance and rushing over with an urgent look.
The preconception is that this is the same routine inquiry personnel sent by Asha Yuan to inquire about the black smoke situation here.
"The general is in trouble! Asha took advantage of the bishop and set fire to the granary." The soldiers who rushed over shouted loudly at Tatatu with a sad look on their faces.
Dadatu was immediately stunned, and then the soul of the dead emerged. As a strong man with inner energy leaving the body, even after hearing this sentence, a black vision appeared in front of his eyes, because everyone is not a fool, and he was still wondering why today's
The black smoke was so thick and lasted for so long, but you told me that the granary was burned down by Asha Cheng.
Kulma still had some problems with the control of his soldiers. When burning food, several soldiers reacted and directly rejected Kulma's proposal. Then they seized their horses and ran away, fleeing and notifying other camps to put out the fire.
But here's the problem. Everyone thought the black smoke was caused by Ashacheng's beacon tower. They had seen it several times before and didn't think twice about it.
As a result, these fleeing soldiers had no choice but to ride horses to notify other camps. But this time, to be honest, even if they came over, they would not be able to save food and grass.
"Asha Cheng!" Tatatu led his troops and rushed over. Looking at the granary that was already on fire and completely hopeless, his eyes were blood red with anger. If Chen Zhong could be in front of this guy at this time, even Kurma would not be able to stop him.
This guy tore his hands apart and said, "Send someone to search for me and find Ashachen and Kurma, dead or alive!"
But it's too late at this time. Ashacheng and Kurma have already led their troops to run away quickly. As for the camps and soldiers encountered along the way, they can be deceived if they can. When they can't be deceived, they can attack directly. Anyway, there are no
Before being completely exposed, no one would directly attack Asha Rong. The character design of this guy is very well done.
"Go back to Bactria quickly and raise the flag for independence." Chen Zhong had already obtained the prepared food and grass before Tatatatu caught up with him. By the time Tatatatu caught up with him, Chen Zhong had already led his people northward. He had
The food and grass don't care about the mountain road, but the Ta-ta-tu, is it possible that the empty man can catch up?
