The Holy Lord originally thought that smallpox was effectively controlled, and there was no sign of spreading, and the sweet potato cultivation promoted by the King of Jin had a good effect, and the five counties of the frontier were located in the northwest, which was originally a barren land, and they could also get a bumper harvest to support the disaster in Huainan. In this way, this year is also considered to be a success, so I thought about making the palace banquet on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve more luxurious, so as to give this year a gorgeous ending and welcome the 22nd year of Taihe with joy.

It's a pity that even if the Holy Lord thinks that he is the Son of Heaven, God wants to make you feel bad, and he is blind if he claims to be the Son of Heaven.

On the twenty-seventh day of the Lunar New Year, bad news came from Taiyuan County, the granary of Taiyuan County was looted by bandits, and the 170,000 stone grain hoarded was not left. The bandit came and went without a trace, as if he had fallen from the sky, and killed not a single one of the 18,000 soldiers stationed there, and not only looted all the food, but also the mounts, armor, weapons, and all the things of value of the garrison soldiers.

The logistics soldiers, who delivered rations and daily necessities once a month, were the first to find out about the incident and were shocked, and after the first inspection, they deduced that the soldiers stationed in the granaries had died about six days earlier.

The Taiyuan county guard immediately sent 3,000 soldiers to investigate, but because the continuous heavy snow buried all the traces, they found nothing.

Taiyuan County is located in the frontier fortress, the left is adjacent to Western Xia, the right is connected to Beiliang, where the imperial court tuned 100,000 Chiyu troops and set up granaries for the needs of the coming days. And every year, it is guaranteed that the old grain will be exchanged for new grain, and no less than 100,000 stone of grain will be hoarded in the granary in case of war.

The granary is located in a secluded place, and it is guarded by heavy troops, how powerful are the bandits who have the ability to cross the sight of the garrison, eliminate the 18,000 garrisons guarding the grain, and transport all the grain, and can disappear without a trace? !

The Holy Lord never dreamed that the main mastermind of this matter was his own son, who was finally saved and nominally imprisoned in the fiefdom Li Rong.

The three counties near the frontier, Jiuquan County, Taiyuan County, and Lanzhou County, are vast and sparsely populated, and the land is barren. In other places, Li Rong didn't know where the granary of Taiyuan County was and how the imperial court garrison was deployed, Li Rong happened to know very well. He clearly told his sister the location of the granary and the number of troops stationed in it, and married Li Han of Beiliang Danyu.

He himself is alone, but his sister has the ability to mobilize a million army, he plans to join forces with Li Hanli and his sister and brother to avenge his mother, and borrow Beiliangdan Yu Tuoba Yu's knife to kill people, why not?

Li Rong is only nominally imprisoned in the fiefdom, but the actual person is free, as long as he does not step out of the fiefdom himself, his subordinates are free. So, from the beginning of the year, he was thinking about how to kill people with a knife, how to destroy the Great Yi Dynasty, and he wanted the entire Great Yi Dynasty to come to his mother's funeral.

Li Rong was saddened by the tragic death of Concubine Xie Shun, and the whole person gradually became frightened, hating the Holy Lord, hating Concubine Chen, and hating King Rui Qingwang, and just wanted to send them all to hell. He feels that this year is on his side.

Beiliang is lucky this year, no people in the country have been infected with smallpox, but the whole country is in drought, and the people are hungry and hungry.

The northern cool winter is long and cold, and if there is not enough food to survive the winter, I am afraid that more people will die of hunger. The land of Beiliang is half pastoral and half peasant, and the monarch is respected by the people as Da Danyu. Today's big order is called Tuoba Yu, and he can be regarded as a brilliant and strategic monarch.

Tuoba Yu had a cautious personality, planned and then moved, although he got the location of the granary of Taiyuan County and the specific number of garrisons, he still did not move, only sent thousands of scouts, mostly dressed as foot merchants, and infiltrated Taiyuan County to spy on intelligence.

That Taiyuan County obeyed the order of the Holy Lord this year, under the leadership of the King of Jin, planted tens of thousands of acres of sweet potatoes, and there was a bumper harvest in September.

While surveying the route, Tuoba Yu chose a site to build a temporary granary at the border. In the past, if there was fighting on the frontier, it was usually fought between May and September. The frontier has a long winter, and in October it begins to snow, and in December, thousands of miles of ice are frozen, and the snow in some grasslands is so thick that it can even bury a whole person in it. Such harsh weather conditions have put a lot of pressure on both sides of the war, so since ancient times, there have been few battles on the frontier during the cold winter.

After careful consideration, Tuoba Yu dispatched herdsmen to use ox carts to force out a solid path, set up more than a dozen temporary points along the way, and special personnel cleared the snow every day to ensure that the road was smooth. He chose to lead 10,000 cavalry in December, at the cost of 10,000 stone of grain, through Western Xia, and lurked near the granary of Taiyuan County from the side. The other group of cavalry, hidden at the border, was ready to respond.

The place where the granary of Taiyuan County is located is quite desolate, and daily drinking water, food, and daily necessities are all sent in from outside. Tuoba Yu personally infiltrated the team carrying water and food, and fell into a slow sleep in the drinking water of the garrison. This sleep is just more sleepy, sleeping to death, and there are no other symptoms on the surface.

The frontier has been peaceful for many years, and the garrison of the granary is quite lax every day, and in addition to the severe cold of December, many soldiers only make a hasty inspection every day, and then hide back in the barracks, and no one suspects anything.

The granary sends food and water into it once every half a month, Tuoba Yu takes the amount well, calculates the time, and specially chooses to be at the dawn of the fifteenth month, all the soldiers are wearing wolf skins and ghost masks, and suddenly attack, more than eighty percent of the guards are sleeping, those who are half-asleep or slightly awake are all frightened, where is the ability to resist? Tuoba Yu led the army to surround the entire granary, from the outside to the inside, as if cutting vegetables and melons, killing most of the garrisons who were still asleep.

Although Tuoba Yu only led 10,000 grassland troops, a soldier with three to five horses, plus the mounts of the granary garrison, as well as the troops waiting for the temporary garrison on the border and the herdsmen to help, 170,000 loads of grain, divided into five batches, not a single grain was removed.

The granary of Taiyuan County was ransacked, and all 18,000 garrisons were martyred. The Great Yi Dynasty is known as the first power, although in the middle of December winter, all traces are buried by heavy snow, but there is no clue at all, which is outrageous.

The Holy Lord was furious and ordered the Criminal Department and the Military Department to immediately send people to Taiyuan County to investigate the matter within a month. He also issued a secret edict to let the Taiyuan county guard choose a secret place again and rebuild the granary to store grain.

There is no new atmosphere in the new year, and the twenty-second year of Taihe is the beginning of the "three years of purgatory" recorded in the history books of later generations.
