After a moment of trance, Hebury recovered and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, not just the lack of food. He looked at Lokrus who ran to help him, and his eyes flashed. A little dignified,

The intention of the Northwest Rebels to burn grain has been undoubtedly unclear, is to completely cut off the possibility that the army can obtain this year’s grain.

Launching a large-scale cavalry raid, while I was completely unaware of the food problem, I burned three-quarters of this year’s new grain in one fell swoop. I thought of my eighth army, which had just been hit by the army’s turbulent raids. Now A more turbulent food crisis will erupt, and even if he has no time to make arrangements, he will suddenly fall into a situation where he cannot turn over. It is really no one would think that the worms of the local army dare to sell military food in private. , These brave guys are damn

Hebury was also at a loss for a while. If the previous beating was just a false alarm, then this time it was really forced into life and death. After hesitating, he gave a decisive order "here The news must be blocked. When I leave, you will immediately send someone you trust enough to conduct a thorough investigation of all the granaries! No one can be missed! There are also the original local military officers who immediately carry out secret arrests , I don’t care what you do, I must get back all the lost food!"

"Subordinates understand, but subordinates are afraid"

"What are you afraid of?"

"... The subordinates are afraid that the food that has been exchanged, I am afraid that they will not be able to find it, they should have all been sold! I heard that the caravans from the southwest were tax-free a few months ago, and many caravans All buy food here,"

Lobrus straightened his body and hesitantly responded, "And our arrest of local officers on such a large scale will greatly deteriorate our relationship with the local army. After all, we still have a lot of things that need the assistance of the local army!"

"I can't control that much anymore. After the enquiries, the arrested parties immediately executed on the spot, confiscated all their property, and made up for the military supplies for the purchase of military food." Hebury's voice was cold, and his eyes swept through the mountainous piles of food. He took a sip and said savagely, "Take these **** from eating countries, and spit it out how I eat it. As for the assistance of the local guards, it is only optional for us, but this news If it is really spread, it will not take three days for our eighth army to appear self-defeating without war!'

"No, Master He Baili is a bit too worried!" Lo Cruz was stunned. He heard that the commander of the army, Hebury, was really angry, and the food of hundreds of thousands of troops turned into a river. Sha, the head of the army eagerly needs a remedy

"Don't worry? I hope so!" He Baili seemed a bit older. The tone smiled bitterly, "But the northwest rebels on the opposite side are afraid that the related arrangements have already been started, and soon the news about the food will be full of storms!"

"Adult means? The food in the warehouse is the hands of the Northwesterners!" The faces of both Los Cruz and Roy Gain have changed, and the army has just encountered a terrible attack. If the problem of unreliable military food continues to be exposed, even if the soldiers of the Eighth Legion have a strong fighting will, they may have no intention of fighting.

"Those who have the funds to eat hundreds of thousands of military food, except those in the northwest. Are there other possibilities?"

He Baili's eyes were full of depression, and his face solemnly said, "Otherwise, how can the Northwest Rebels be so familiar with the defenses of various places. We just took over and were dizzy by them, making it more than their own back garden. back yard!"

Ten minutes later, the deputy chief Jeff, who was guarding the granary, looked at his chief, Lobrus, with a very ugly face and accompanied the commander of the army, Hebury, out of the warehouse. Next to the chief, Roy Gain, who was always out of sight with the chief, Master, this is also a rare pair of sullen heads, followed silently behind the two,

"Strange thing!" I don't know anything. When I saw this scene, the deputy chief Jeff shivered a bit,

Since the last battle on the eastern battlefield, Chief Loblus, who was in charge of his 8th Infantry Regiment, and Lord Roy Gain, who was in charge of the 5th Infantry Regiment, have fought in a joint fight because the question of who should rescue first fell down. Silent scenes have been rare, and the face of the commander of the Hebrew Legion walking in front of the two actually flashed angrily, and the two eyebrows were almost screwed together.

"This, someone is unlucky!" Jeff thought subconsciously.

"Sir Hebury is a little tired, and I won't go to the best room right away." Lobrus looked up at the stunned sergeant standing in front, very dissatisfied.

"No, I'm going back to the Legion Department immediately! I won't stay here anymore." Hebury waved his hand to stop him. "You immediately send someone to figure out the specific situation. To hold a military meeting at night, I need a complete report!"

"The specific situation..." Loblus was completely dumbfounded, and dozens of large granaries, even if they mobilized the army to check one by one, would not be able to find out in a short time.

"Grab the local officer in charge of the warehouse in front! Use your torture tool to pry open his mouth, okay! ‘

He Baili rolled his eyes, spurred his whip, and drove away with the cavalry. He found such a large loophole, he could not continue to inspect the next attacked area, it should be the same, He Baili's eyes finally swept After passing through the granary that had closed the door, his face suddenly became very ugly, and there was nothing to see outside. I was afraid that there would be trembling river sand! Otherwise, why did the northwest rebels burn these places! All generals must be found to discuss how to deal with this sudden and huge crisis,

Hebury returned to the Legion Base Camp at 2pm,

It was mid-July, the weather was very hot, and Hebury was eager and angry, sweating, and almost got heatstroke. He almost fell off the horse several times on the road, and handed his sweaty military cap to the adjutant at the door, He couldn’t wait to order all the generals to meet immediately,

"All generals?"

The adjutant is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a black adjutant uniform and embroidered with the clan adjutant’s mark on the cuff.

He expressed his suspicion very cautiously, knowing that the Eighth Army of the Empire had 110,000 combatants, and there were nearly thirty people who could be called generals. They are now scattered in various places, if they all gather. At least one afternoon

"Yes, all, and the sheriff in the area where our legion is stationed!"

Hebury had a serious face and a cold tone in his voice, and he thought about it on the way. If the granary inventory situation is really not ideal, the only way now is to get food from the place. Although the Eighth Army is the main empire of the Empire, But military spending is mostly used for regular expenses, since there is no money. That was only for grabbing. Let’s start with the food stores everywhere. These defectors who colluded with the Northwest rebels were also due to pay for it.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the adjutant took a report and sent it to Herbury's office,

"Sir, the generals are here."

Thirty minutes later, the adjutant said cautiously as he walked out of Herbury's office. The adjutant and Hebury have been working for more than ten years and are considered senior deputies in the military. After reading the report, he immediately knew why Hebury’s face was so ugly when he returned in the afternoon, 210,000 There are only 30,000 bags of wheat flour in the bag. The other 180,000 bags were all filled with river sand and stones. It was terrible. The adjutant felt his back was chilling. This is still only in Lacey, and the situation in several other areas is not optimistic.

In the conference room of the Legion Department. More than 30 people who participated in the meeting were dressed in the clothes of Gauldi, and the generals of the Eighth Legion had been seated rigorously.

In the second row on the left and right of the round long table. They are the sheriffs from all over the country. There are more than 20 people. Their clothes are very messy, there are fat people with big belly and poop, and there are also middle-aged men who are tough and powerful. They can become a sheriff. Anger, they gathered together and whispered about something, obviously they didn't know why they were called to a meeting. This was the meeting of the Eighth Army of the Empire. It was too far away from the small local sheriff.

"Your Excellency Commander is here!

Hearing the arrival of Hebury, the generals in the front row stood up neatly, straightening their waist bars and raising their chests.

The sheriffs in the back had strange faces, some stood, and some were still sitting. Obviously they hadn’t figured out the situation yet. If they were in accordance with normal practice, they should bend down to salute, but compared with the straight generals in front The move is undoubtedly too funny.

"Okay, let's sit down!"

He Baili placed the documents in his hand on the table, completely ignoring the poor performance of these sheriffs. In his eyes, the reason why these people were found is to use their familiarity with the region at the fastest speed. Seize all the food shops, all he needs is a bunch of tools

He waved his hand to the standing general casually, as a gift, and then greeted them to sit down.

When the trained generals sat down, the chair did not make a slight noise, and looked at Herbury neatly. The summer was indeed a bit hot, and many people's clothing buttons were soaked in sweat, but no one Not paying attention, they are used to the military's strict and tidy environment. The sheriffs behind are obviously frightened, and the army is as strong as the sorrow that can be seen, so that the sheriffs are nervous one by one, and no one dares to interact with each other. chat.

He Baili glanced at everyone and took a deep breath. Ning Sheng said, "This time we are only calling for one thing, that is the issue of military food!"

"Military food problem? What's the problem with military food?" Among the thirty or so generals, except for Los Cruz and Roy Gain, who knew the situation, everyone looked at them blankly. The army's food was not always adequate. ? This is the reason why the Eighth Army has always felt fearless

"I will not say more about military secrets in detail, everyone will circulate this document!" He Baili pushed the folder in front of him to the left side of the infantry regiment leader Merck,

"God, this... how is it possible!" Merck begged curiously to open the document, only a few glances, and suddenly he was stupid, staying there with his mouth slightly open, and more than a point. Zhong, Merck begged to push the file in his hand to the next person,

Because Merck begged in front, the second person was equally shocked, but soon reacted, took a deep breath, said nothing, but the heavy face was like dripping water,

The document was passed to the third one. In this way, the various expressions of the people in front of the viewer invisibly attracted the curiosity of more people in the back. After waiting for a round in the round of more than thirty generals, it took For more than an hour, the document did not pass the sheriff, but was sent directly to He Baili.

According to the level of the sheriff, there is no power to read at all

"Okay, how severe the form is! Everyone knows it"

He Baili pressed the folder with his hand and said coldly, "From tomorrow on, the army immediately seizes the food shops everywhere, collecting all the crops, fruit products, and everything that can be used to replace the food! As for the specific guides in each place, The sheriff behind you is responsible, I hope everyone can be determined

"What. What happened!"

Hearing the order of He Baili, more than two dozen sheriffs were anxious on the spot, shouting, "Master, what does it mean to seal up the grain shops everywhere? Is this still alive? The Northwest Army has burned most of the wheat fields this autumn. It is obvious that the new grain can not be expected. The grain is now seriously in short supply. We also hope that the military can open up a part of the military grain, but you have closed the grain store. Where can you let us ordinary people buy grain?"

"Okay. The meeting is here, break up!"

He Baili looked indifferent and didn't hear anything when he was doing it, but he secretly scolded these local magistrates for really having no big picture. The food is gone, and it will grow out next year. Some civilians will starve to death and they will recover in a few years. But if the army is starving to death, are you prepared to hand over to the Northwest rebels who burned your food? "

"No, lord"

The magistrate stopped the gate in anger. Not let He Baili leave,

They were annoyed that they were not qualified to read the documents. They heard that the army was about to check the grain stores everywhere. Since the massive northwest cavalry burned the wheat field a few years ago, the grain prices in the city suddenly went up like a thermometer. With one change and three changes, everyone can see that the commodity most in short supply this year is food. Now the army wants to take it all away, what should others do? Moreover, listening to the military’s intentions, it was taken away for free. The powerful magistrates have invested in the grain stores in most areas. Everyone is waiting to make a good profit this year. This time the military forces Let's intervene, but it will cost a lot of the sheriff's life,

"The duty of the army is to fight, and if you have any opinions, you can respond to the Governor of the Soras region! Before then, the only thing you can do is obey!" He Baili face waved sèyīn Shen, the guard at the door Handed a long gun and rushed in, grabbing all the sheriffs who blocked the door

"Asshole, you can't do this!" The sheriff's screams came and went,

Soon after the order was announced, the generals had not completely dispersed, and an officer of the Eighth Corps hurriedly rushed into Herbury, his appearance was a bit abnormal, and the officer looked anxiously, Hebury looked very dissatisfied and frowned and said, "What happened?"

"It has been confirmed that the Fortress of Detroit has fallen! Northwest rebels have appeared in large numbers in the east!"

The commanding officer hurriedly replied in a hurry. Of course the other generals heard it, of course, they couldn't help but stopped. Many people looked at each other, and they felt a bit incredible. Although the Fortress is not a large fortress, there are three defenders. Thousands of people, how the other party won it silently, if it is so, it can explain why the Northwest Rebel cavalry can suddenly appear in large numbers on the side of the legion, Ditru Heights, that is the entire Soras The commanding heights of the region

"Asshole, are you still thinking about picking the second time cheaper?" He Baili was excited. If this time, the other party would dare to intersect with the boldness of the previous time, and he has full confidence to let it go back and forth.

"He Baili said angrily. In fact, he has been able to sort out the advantages of the last falcon cavalry tactics, that is, fast, so fast that people can’t parry, this tactic that seems to play the ultimate cavalry maneuverability, its The disadvantages are as obvious as the advantages, that is, as long as you can find the right time to hold back

"Sir, let me take someone back to Fort Ditru!" Someone inside the general said: Fort Ditru is the commanding height of the region. If it falls into the hands of the Northwest Rebels, it is equivalent to threatening our army from the flank at any time. In this way, it is better to let the subordinates take the initiative to attack..."

"Reports that the Northwest Rebels have entered the area of ​​Gikander from the direction of Fort Durbu. The Fourth Infantry Regiment has lost two squadrons. ！ Request the support of the base camp"

The commanding officer replied aloud again, he thought Hebri ordered him to be dissatisfied with his reporting standards, so he reported all the information in the most standard manner in one breath, he didn’t realize that What will happen to the information.

"What? Spiegel is dead?" Someone inside the general screamed. It was Ma Yisuk, the commander of the Fourth Infantry. He was full of blood, and he quickly came out of the headquarters in the voice of doubt and confusion. , Waving towards his guards from afar

"Leading horses! Leading horses! Inform all troops to gather immediately to the regiment! Don't ask why! Running forward! Running forward at the fastest speed! How fast you can run, how fast you can run, and finally run the military law!"

Immediately following him, the army also ordered the call for troops to prepare for the emergency.

The Thoras War Song has sounded.
