Deputy General He used to be an old man beside Fu Yanting. He was a good commander in battle, but he always refused to obey orders.
Fu Yanting just looked around and didn't see him.
As far as he knew, Deputy General He had no relatives in Dayong State.
Lieutenant General Cao paused with the water bag in his hand and did not respond to Fu Yanting.
Fu Yanting noticed something was wrong, took a step forward, and continued to ask: "Where is he now?"
Deputy General Cao clenched his hand bag, sighed and said, "General, listen and don't be angry."
Fu Yanting responded: "Well, I'm not angry."
Deputy General Cao looked ready to risk everything. He gritted his teeth and pointed to the southwest of Mobei. "Half a month ago, he brought a group of soldiers and stole half of our barracks' food and fodder and hid in Zi'an City."
"Half of the food?!" Lord Fu exclaimed in surprise.
Fu Xingcheng and Fu Kanghong behind Chu Chenyin were also shocked. "Half of the food and straw! He is so cruel! No wonder the soldiers left. If they stayed here, they would starve to death!"
"I didn't expect to raise such a traitor!" Lord Fu was so angry that he held both hands.
Adjutant Cao's face was also filled with hatred. "Yes, it's not enough that he took away the food and fodder. He also occupied the city of Zi'an and wanted to kill us all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers behind him said in unison: "Lord, many of our brothers were killed by him!"
Fu Yanting's usually calm face also showed anger.
Chu Chenyin walked up to him and whispered, "Natural disasters can test people's hearts, and they just happened to help you find the traitor."
Fu Yanting replied softly: "I understand."
Chu Chenyin continued in a low voice: "Where is Zi'an City?"
Fu Yanting replied, "More than ten years ago, when my father first came here with his soldiers, he found an oasis and built a small city. There were often passing caravans and refugees from the war."
Chu Chenyin listened with a hint of joy in his eyes, "That Deputy General He did not leave Mobei with any food or grass, which means that Zi'an City still has water sources."
Fu Yanting's eyes lit up as he listened, "Madam, you are absolutely right."
Chu Chenyin looked in the direction that County Magistrate Cao had pointed and said slowly, "If he can take away the food and grass, we can get it back."
"And there is the city of Zi'an."
Fu Yanting wiped away his sorrow and gradually smiled. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
