The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 480
The next day, Zhao Gou led 1 people from Yingzhou to approach Yunzhou.At the same time, Song Jiang and Lu Junyi also set off one after another, and Gao Chong was the only general led by Zhao Gou this time, and all other generals were handed over to Song Jiang and Lu Junyi.

After three days of marching, Zhao Gou's army camped a hundred miles away from Datong County, Yunzhou.At nightfall, a black shadow appeared in Zhao Gou's tent, and said respectfully, "This subordinate has seen the county king!"

"Brother Yanqing, don't come here without any problems!" Zhao Gou hurriedly walked up the mountain, and someone helped him up, saying, "It's hard for Brother Yanqing to come here day and night on this journey!"

Yan Qing smiled and said: "The king of the county has an order, how dare Yan Qing not come! This time I was ordered to come, and I was not allowed to tell other brothers, does the king of the county have any important matters?"

Zhao Gou replied, "Brother Yanqing was brought here because of something important!"

So, Zhao Gou explained the whole story in detail, and Yan Qing knew that there must be something important to come here.

"The king of the county means to burn the enemy's food and grass?" Zhao Gou nodded.

Yan Qing went on to say: "There are our spies in Datong County, but they have been searching for a long time and have not found the granary. Even the deployment of troops has only traced a part of it. The exact number is unknown."

"If you act rashly, I am afraid that the intelligence network that has been managed with great difficulty is bound to suffer severe blows."

"Why don't I know!" Zhao Gou sighed, "The only way we can do it now is to burn down the granary while it's unintentional, so that we have a chance to win Yunzhou. If we attack by force, there will be countless casualties. Cutting off its food and grass is the best policy!"

Yan Qing said in a deep voice: "Jun Wang, what do you want me to do?"

"How many people are there in Yunzhou now?"

"About a hundred people!"

"How about martial arts?"

"If it's one-on-one, I'm afraid it will be a fight with me."

"Since this is the case, Brother Yanqing immediately sent an order to them to act immediately and start to investigate the location of the granary. As long as they find it, arrange everything and immediately set fire to the granary."

Then, Yan Qing withdrew, and he secretly sent a letter to them, giving them a secret signal.Although these people's martial arts skills are not bad, it is simply impossible to use more than a hundred people to fight against the enemy.Therefore, Yan Qing asked them to inquire about the situation while they were running the business. They had to figure it out and be sure before they could start.

At the same time, the Yunzhou spies received an order from Yan Qing, and they immediately took action.Whether it is Datong County or other counties, they have searched all over, and even followed other generals to observe secretly, but still did not find any traces.

Perhaps the Yunzhou guard knew the importance of the granary, so they spent seven days and still disappeared until a month later.The spies finally searched for the location of the granaries, and Yelu, the guard of Yunzhou, managed to disperse the granaries and gathered them in two counties, Huairen County and Tiancheng respectively.

Moreover, the location of the granary is extremely secret. They did not set up the granary in the city, but stored the grain in caves in the mountains, and hollowed out the caves, similar to cellars.All the grain and grass are stored in the cellar, and there seem to be few guards around, but they are actually heavily guarded.

"Boss, now that we know where the granary is, when will we act next?"

The man said in a low voice: "We know about the granary, so we will do it tomorrow; in addition, we will also spread the information about this place to the city."

"Now the city is heavily guarded, only allowed to enter but not to exit. If you leave the city rashly, you will definitely not be able to do so, and the goal of flying pigeons to pass letters is too big!"

"The only way now is to spread the information through the waterway!"

"Waterway? Boss, I don't think this method will work. You must know that our army led an army to cut off the river earlier, and the Yunzhou Army also sent people to conquer it. The two sides started a big battle. If you guessed correctly, there must be a river in the two rivers. Liao army spies."

"If the waterway is blocked, then let's block the news!" The man said in a deep voice, "As long as the granary is burned, the flames will rise to the sky, and we must leave one person here. Because when the granary is burned, the Alarm the Liao army, and the situation will be chaotic, and then the news will be spread.”

After everyone discussed and thought about it, there was only this way.Therefore, the last person left is directly arranged by heaven, that is, the lottery is decided. Whoever wins the draw will stay, and the others have no complaints.

At that time, spies from the Song army quietly approached Huairen and Tiancheng counties. They divided into two groups, bringing tung oil and flint.However, acting at the same time will expose the target, and only one or two people actually execute it, and the rest are released and defended.

Before they acted, they had already figured out when the soldiers changed their defenses, and which ones were soldiers and which ones were civilians.Because of this, they move somewhat quickly.Taking advantage of the gap between the soldiers changing defenses, they crept forward on tiptoe, lowered their bodies again, and reached the granary as quickly as they could.

Because they were trained by Yan Qing and others, and there are training methods written by Zhao Gou.Therefore, their actions are more like special forces. Even if they don't use words, they can use gestures to issue orders and cooperate with each other.

When they got close to the granary, they looked around again, leaving most of the people to observe, while a small number of people entered the granary. When they saw the piles of grain, they were shocked and wanted to burn all the grain. It can't help but feel distressed, but for the victory of the war, they have to do so.

So, they poured all the tung oil on the grain and grass, lit a torch with a torch, and threw it directly.Then, they quickly evacuated and acted quickly.It's a pity that they kept everything close to each other, and the moment they burned the food and grass, the flames blazed.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Liao army woke up, and they quickly came to the granary.Sure enough, I saw a group of men in black visiting the granary at night, and watched the raging fire, and hurriedly beat the gongs and drums.Then, they fought with it first.

They fought and retreated, because they knew that they were no opponents of the Liao army, and if they continued for a long time, it would be a dead end.However, the soldiers of the Liao army swarmed up, where there was no chance for them to escape, all the roads were blocked, and reinforcements came one after another, but they were isolated and helpless, gradually exhausted.

At the same time, the granary in Tiancheng County also suffered the same blow.Although all the assassins who burned the granary were killed, it is a pity that the granary has been burned and cannot be rescued.Immediately, the two places of Tiancheng and Huairen burst into flames. The spies who stayed in Datong County saw the flames and acted immediately, preparing to spread the news.
