On October 23, the first batch of military grain from northern Sichuan arrived in Tongchuan, which means that the Mu clan really planned to use this place as the granary for the next southern expedition.

In fact, at the beginning, they planned to transport the grain directly to Shunzhou, and use the location closer to the southern parts of Sichuan as a place for logistical support.

However, the ten coalition forces in southern Sichuan made the first move, and the army pressed directly against Shunzhou, which made the Mu clan quickly change the original plan and retreat to hoard military grain in Tongchuan.

On October 27, the main force of northern Sichuan finally arrived in Tongchuan, but did not really enter the city, only Mu Heng, the head of the Mu family as the commander, and Mu En, the real general of the Chinese army, led a group into the city.

For Yang Li, or for the entire Tongchuan Yang Clan, Mu Heng is still very relieved.

This is not because of how loyal the Yang clan is to their own family, but because of the understanding over the years, and the current position of the Yang clan, if there is really a situation where the coalition forces of the southern Sichuan tribes win and go north, the Tongchuan here will inevitably become the city they will destroy first, and the Yang clan will inevitably be finished.

Coupled with the attitude shown by Yang Li during this meeting, he patted his chest and promised to help the army take care of the food and deliver the food to the front line in time, so the people of the Mu family were completely relieved and handed over this important task to Yang Li.

However, in addition to entrusting this matter, Mu Heng still kept an eye on it, and left a group of 3,000 elite soldiers in Tongchuan, nominally to assist the Yang clan in defending the city and protecting the grain, but in fact, it also had the intention of surveillance, in case the Yang clan really did something out of greed.

On October 29, the main force of northern Sichuan officially went south, rushed to Shunzhou, and sought a decisive battle with the southern Sichuan coalition army, and Tongchuan also regained calm.

Until the third day of the winter month, another batch of grain transported from the rear was put into storage.

At this time, Tongchuan's grain stock had reached an astonishing million stones, and it was truly piled up, enough for more than 100,000 troops on the front line for half a year.

Next, the rear should not be able to send food forward, because the barbarians have been hoarding for all these years.

After making this judgment, Sun Ning felt that it was time to do it!

……

On the third day of the winter month, late at night, the clouds are dense, there are no stars and no moon, which is a good weather to take advantage of the darkness.

A night patrol of soldiers and horses continued to pass slowly down the long street with torches as usual, and not far in front of them was a team of swords in their hands, silently moving forward, their whereabouts completely exposed to the night watchman in the light of the fire.

But these night patrol soldiers turned a blind eye to this, and only cared about going their own way, as if nothing appeared in front of them.

The procession of two hundred men in front of them did not stop in the slightest, and they soon came to the high-walled granary.

The man at the head only slammed his shoulder against the door of the granary, which seemed to be closed, and the two heavy doors opened silently.

Yan Hu was even more determined, turned his head slightly, and commanded in a low voice: "The inside has been successful, be decisive, solve all the barbarians in the granary, and leave no one behind!" As soon as the words fell, his hand waved forward, and the two hundred men quickly pounced, like cats catching rats, and slaughtered the row of houses in front of them.

The rooms here are used for the rest of the guards of the granary, and there are beds in them for the night.

At this time, on the bed, or even at the table, there were the elite soldiers of northern Sichuan who were sleeping unconscious.

As the elite who were left in Tongchuan to take care of the grain and grass but did not have to go into battle, they were completely relaxed here.

In addition, the local officials and soldiers in Tongchuan flattered and praised them in every way, and they also sent wine and meat, so they had already completely relaxed.

Not long ago, I just had a big drink with a head of the Yang family, and at this time, everyone was so drunk that they fell asleep, and even the door was suddenly knocked open, which only made them slightly stunned and opened their eyes blankly.

As a result, what they saw was that a snowy steel knife had gone straight to their vital point.

Suddenly, screams and blood rushed from room to room.

Drunk and defenseless, the hundred and ten people left behind here couldn't even make a decent resistance, and they were all killed in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Yan Hu's eyes flashed with even more excitement, and he immediately gave a decisive order: "Ignite!" ”

At the same time, the same killing scene also occurred in several other granaries in the city, and the elites of northern Sichuan who stayed in the granaries everywhere died in a daze under the Vietnamese sabers, and even to death, most of them did not know that they were killed by Han soldiers.

Then, several fireheads also rose into the air one after another, which was particularly dazzling in this dark night, and in the blink of an eye, it was known to the main general of the grain guard stationed in the military camp in the west of the city.

As the patriarch of the Gong clan who is very close to the Mu family and is the most loyal, Gong Wei still attaches great importance to this arrangement, so not only did he send many henchmen to guard several granaries day and night, but his own military camp was also watched day and night by people in case anything happened.

And now, the change has really arrived.

He was woken up from his sleep by his subordinates, and he was only stunned for a moment, and then his face immediately changed: "What do they do to eat?" actually let the traitors in southern Sichuan mix into Tongchuan! ”

His first reaction was that people from the ten tribes in southern Sichuan had infiltrated the city and set fire to the grain.

But then, he frowned again, and realized that things were not quite normal - if it was really the secret spies of the rebels in southern Sichuan who had infiltrated Tongchuan to act, it would not have been so big, and there were fires in the granaries everywhere.

Moreover, until now, the defenders of the city reacted extremely calmly, as if they did not know anything.

"I'm afraid it's the idea of Yang Li or someone under his command to fight for grain, and wants to take some of the grain in the name of the rebels......" Gong Wei immediately had a judgment in his heart, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately put on his armor and shouted: "The whole army is out of the camp, I will rush to take down those thieves who steal grain!" ”

Suddenly, the whining horn sounded in the camp, and after only one meal, a team with neat clothes and armor had quickly driven out of the barracks, and went straight to the granary on the west side.

As long as you catch a guy who attacked the granary, sit on the Yang clan's conspiracy, and the next problem will be easy to solve.

When he led the troops out of the camp and rushed over, Gongyu thought so, so he didn't have any more worries, thinking that with this elite of more than 2,000 people, it was enough to shock the whole city.

But just as he was leading the people along the quiet long street, and was about to turn the road in front of him to the granary, where there was still a fire in front of the granary, in the darkness, a ringing arrow suddenly flew into the air, making a breathtaking whining sound.

And just as if receiving a signal, at the same time, countless figures poured out from the roofs and backs of shops and houses on both sides of the street, all of them holding strong bows and crossbows in their hands, and the arrows above were so shining in such a dark night.
