After all, the camp was built by Huangfu Song himself. The place where the camp was built was very close to the river beach, so it was very convenient to get water. In addition, the officer and general who stayed behind to train troops was a general from Huangfu Song's tribe. He was deeply familiar with the essence of Huangfu Song's camp.

In the camps set up by military generals, military tents are sparsely distributed and are not prone to continuous fires. In addition, the military generals are cautious and have several barrels of water left in the camp for fire extinguishing and relief, so they have a certain ability to respond to sudden fires.

The fire could be controlled instinctively, but when the camp was full of chaos, someone deliberately made noise and disrupted it, so that everyone mistakenly thought that the fire was out of control and immediately abandoned the camp.

The location where the officers and soldiers were stationed, the layout of the camp, and the abilities of the generals were all excellent, but as a result, they were calculated deliberately and unintentionally, and they were plotted against each other.

In the desolate night wind, the officers and soldiers of the camp silently watched the camp being devoured by the fire, and then the fire gradually decreased. In the end, the fire was not completely extinguished, and the sky became bright.

The fire subsided and it was daylight. The exhausted officers and generals held on to their spirits and led the soldiers into the ashes of the camp to clean up debris. Although the soldiers' morale was low, they still had no complaints.

I regret that I will be busy following the Lord.

As expected, even if the night attack is successful, even if the army camp is successfully burned down, the combat power of the army may still be maintained and it may still cause trouble.

The camp is gone, but most of the soldiers in the camp are still there. In the event of a war, this largely intact army will still be a formidable enemy.

In the morning light, a convoy carrying wood hurriedly rushed outside the camp. The leader was a fat, wealthy man with a shrewd face. After arriving at the army camp, this man turned into ashes.

At the end of the camp, a pair of small eyes hid a look of ridicule.

Shortly after the convoy arrived, they noticed the uninvited guests, and the military generals and a large group of soldiers came out to welcome them.

The real owner arrived, and the fat businessman stepped forward quickly.

After meeting each other twice, the officer and general looked the businessman up and down and asked coldly, "Where are you waiting for? Why are you here?"

The businessman glanced at the camp behind him. He smiled and asked cautiously, "Master, there was a fire here last night, wasn't it?"

The officers and generals looked unkind and snorted angrily, "Humph, so what?"

The businessman had a smile on his face. He stepped aside, pointed to the convoy behind him, and explained, "Here is a few carts of wood. If the general needs it, I will give it to him."

Hearing this, the officers and generals looked towards the convoy and saw that the carriage was full of wood.

The officers and generals were wary, remembering that there was a fire last night and it was too coincidental to send wood this morning. The officers and soldiers looked cold and pulled out their swords with a loud voice, "Here comes someone! Tie him up!" He said

said sharply.

Affected by this incident, the businessman was so frightened that he fell to his knees. He asked in fear, "A certain person kindly sent me wood. Why did the general want to arrest the villain?"

"Hmph!" the officer general sneered and looked at the businessman coldly, "I'm asking you, there was a fire in my camp last night and you came this morning. Isn't it too much of a coincidence?"

"Tell me!" The general put his sword close to the merchant's neck and asked fiercely, "Did you, a thief like you, set the fire in my camp?"

The businessman looked innocent, "What an injustice! I can't wait for the hawker, so how can I have the guts to commit such a decapitation!"

The general was unmoved and still refused to trust him. He asked, "Tell me, why was there a fire last night and why did you bring the wood this morning?"

The businessman argued, "We stayed in the village last night, and we knew it from people who saw the fire here at night."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The general asked again, "My camp is on fire, what does it have to do with you?"

The businessman hurriedly arrived, "I thought that if there was a fire and something was burned, the wood would be used, so I wanted to come early in the morning and sell the wood to... ah no, give it to the military master!"

After hearing the businessman's explanation, the general's hostility was slightly reduced. He looked at the timid businessman and then at the convoy full of wood. The general believed that this was a bold and shrewd wood businessman.

Later, the general asked other questions. He asked the merchant where he would stay for the night. The merchant answered a village. The name of the village was exactly a nearby village, and there were no flaws.

The general then asked the merchant where he was from, and the merchant told him his place of origin, and then asked about the price of wood and how to sell it, etc. The merchant answered fluently.

At this point, the officers and generals no longer had any doubts about the businessman. This man was really here to deliver wood.

The timely delivery of wood was considered a great help, and the generals became friendly. He bowed to the merchant and thanked him for his help.

The businessman chuckled, knelt on the ground and returned the salute to the general, and said grandly, "It would be great to be able to help the military master."

At this time, seeing the merchant still kneeling on the ground, the general quickly called him up.

Afterwards, the caravan members and the soldiers worked together to remove the wood.

The general of the army was very embarrassed and asked the merchant about the price of the wood. The merchant waved his hand and directly gave several carts of wood to the general.

Looking at the camp that was burned into ruins and smoking everywhere, the businessman kindly asked the reason.

The general's face was full of bitterness, "Someone was not careful and accidentally caught fire and burned down the camp. I'm afraid the court will punish him soon. Alas!" The general sighed heavily.

The merchant comforted the general, and then he looked at the ruined camp. He said casually, "Sir, this camp is big enough. A few carts of wood are not enough."

As said, rebuilding the camp would require a lot of wood, so the general could only remain silent.

The businessman saw that the general was in trouble, so he kindly gave the general an idea.

The merchant offered to help the general raise the wood needed to build the camp. The general was so grateful that he didn't know what to say.

At this time, the businessman cautiously mentioned, "General, burning the military stronghold is not a small matter. I think it is better to build the stronghold quickly. It is best to complete it before others know about it. If it is delayed for a long time, it may be leaked.

The sound of the wind."

In order to avoid leaking the news, the merchant's kind suggestion was that it was best to send soldiers to purchase the wood in person, rather than using the hands of outsiders, and it was best to go far away to avoid being noticed.

In order to atone for his sins and to save his life, the general followed the merchant's advice.

In order to buy the wood for building the camp as soon as possible, the general did not dare to delay and prepared to send eighty people in the camp to search for it in distant places.

The kind-hearted businessman came up with another plan. He said, "General, the military stronghold has been destroyed. Even if it is rebuilt, if the superiors pursue it, it will be difficult to escape punishment.

In my opinion, we should simply build the military stronghold better and make it more glorious. In this way, when people come to ask questions, they will see that although the general is at fault, the new military stronghold is much better than the old one. Maybe the people above

So I gave the general an excuse to make up for his past mistakes. What does the general think?"

The officers and generals thought about it carefully and thought it made sense.

Therefore, in order to make up for his mistake, the general followed the advice of the businessman and prepared to use all his hands to plan and chip away at the wood and build a new, exquisite and tall military stronghold.
