The night was dark, it was already late at night, and the temperature was even colder, but the entire convoy was in a state of solemnity, and soldiers were patrolling the convoy back and forth, which was extremely strict.

"I originally thought that they would assassinate our people at night and then lurk in disguise...!" Han Mo said slowly: "But the group of knights suddenly appeared before we changed defenses and revealed their traces, which must be a bit weird. They appeared in the most inappropriate way at the most inappropriate time. If it wasn't stupid, then they must have achieved some goal..."

Miao Wu said solemnly: "It is true. The military strategy is full of things. The way to use troops is unpredictable. The way to doubt the military is different!"

Han Mo smiled and said, "In terms of military tactics, I naturally cannot compare with Brother Miao and other generals... I just think that the biggest possibility of these cavalry appearing is to attract our attention and let us focus our energy on them... They did this to cover up something. I naturally thought of the word "speaking east and attacking west" in my mind."

"This move is very powerful. If Brother Han hadn't been alert, they would have almost succeeded." Miao Wu said with a solemn expression and clenched his fists.

Han Mo sneered: "They put our energy here, which will definitely make us ignore the situation in the town. Everyone is exhausted, and the town is mixed with fish and dragons. They are all proficient in the dark arts. It is not difficult to do something in the town... In addition to diverting our sight, it is more important to make us have an illusion that makes us think that they are enemies to take action. In fact, the ambush under their ambush is still preparing to take action during the time of changing defenses, and it is not in advance...!"

Miao Wushen agreed and asked, "How did Brother Han realize that they would definitely be lurking in the military formation that was changing defense?"

"To burn food, you must be quiet and silent... To do this, the prerequisite is to approach the convoy without us being aware of it..." Han Mo pointed to the heavily guarded convoy and said, "It's just in this case, I think few people can approach our convoy quietly... So when I change defenses, the brothers resting in the town will change shifts. So... is it possible for the enemy to hide among these people, approach the convoy in this way and get in? I thought for a long time, but I just felt that this was their only way to get close to the convoy...!"

Miao Wu suddenly realized and praised: "That is why the masters can use the command to identify who is a spy? This is really a clever work... Brother Han, say that you are not afraid of your blame. I saw that you were young before. Although I admired you for your martial arts skills to defeat Shi Lianyun, I didn't know that your mind was so careful. It seems that I was wrong. Brother Han's wisdom is now extremely admirable."

Han Mo shook his head and smiled, "Brother Miao is too rewarded. If the Imperial Guard had not been well-trained, the orders were strict, and everyone was in a consistent manner, this method would be useless. I didn't think too much, but just wanted to send this batch of grain to Xichun County. The disasters there were like fire. I could even imagine the miserable situation of countless victims. Since we have done this job, for those victims, we would sacrifice our lives and deliver the food...!" After a pause, I frowned and asked, "Brother Miao, this Yichun County is also a major county in my country's production. Logically speaking, there are also a lot of grain stored in the local granary. Those victims should not be hungry at the moment? The Ministry of Revenue has issued an order to let the local Shangguan Cang adjust the grain and release the grain...!"

Miao Wu hesitated for a moment before smiling bitterly: "Originally, Miao Wu can't ask about this matter. I am just a military general, and what I do is to defend the country... But since Brother Han asked, I will talk about my thoughts. Yichun County is indeed a major grain-producing county in Yan State. Moreover, looking at our Yan State, the grain reserves in Yichun County are second only to Kuaiji County. From the county town to the county town and even the town, there are granaries. Every year, in addition to the grain paid to the state treasury, there are many people who have been stored and stored in local granaries... But it is not a simple matter to let them spit out the grain easily...!"

Han Mo frowned and said softly: "Brother Miao means...the local area still needs to make food articles at this time?"

Miao Wu smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Brother Han, we have not arrived in Yichun County yet. Everything is unclear, so I don't have to say much. When we get there, we will naturally see the difference... I hope not as I expected."

...

Xiao Mu led the men to collect the spy's bodies, searched for an open space, and dug a hole to bury them. Xue Shao led the men to search in the town. As Han Mo expected, nearly twenty soldiers or coachmen were killed. They were obviously cut off their throats in their sleep. However, these spies were very neat and neat. When they killed people, they did not disturb other people nearby.

The identity of the victim must be investigated clearly, and then the body is temporarily buried outside the town.

After that night, there were no other enemies. As soon as the sky was dawn, Han Mo ordered the convoy to concentrate. After breakfast, he began to continue to move towards Yichun County in the early morning.

Although many things happened at night, the supervisory eunuch Ling, under the escort of a special person, slept very soundly. When he got up in the early morning, he did not rush to ride a carriage, but instead asked for a horse to sit on, saying that he wanted to breathe the morning air and see the scenery.

Han Mo briefly told Ling Lei about what happened last night. Ling Lei suddenly changed color. He didn't expect that such a dangerous thing would happen when he was sleeping soundly. Looking around, he always felt that an enemy would suddenly appear and dared not ride a horse anymore. He went back to the carriage to sit up.

The day went smoothly. In the evening, it had passed the territory of Kuaiji County and entered Yichun County.

The interface when he first entered Yichun County was the Wuliang County where the Fan family was located. He was resting in a town, but this time he issued an order that many soldiers must gather together to rest and must not rest alone. As for the spy who was captured alive, he did not enter the water and rice this day, and even put handcuffs and shackled, tied it with a long cowhide rope, exhausted, and followed the team.

Han Mo didn't ask him much, but occasionally rode his horse past him and looked at him coldly. The spy looked resentful in his eyes. His mouth had been blocked by something in order to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.

Although Wuliang County is within Yichun County, it is still a little away from the disaster area. Moreover, the four counties under the Fan family are under the jurisdiction of Susong County, which is only flooded by Susong County, so it is as calm as usual and cannot feel the panic of floods.

There was nothing wrong this night, and I continued to set out in the early morning of the next day, and I was extremely calm for two consecutive days. It seemed that the enemies understood the power of the grain protection team and seemed to dare not make any more decisions.

Of course, Han Mo understood that if the convoy did not arrive at the destination in one day, there would be a day of risk and should not be taken lightly. The calmer it was, the stronger the opponent would really attack.

At noon on the fourth day, Li Xichun County was only one day away, and the convoy was extremely tired. Although they changed defenses at night, they could only rest in the middle of the night, which was only more than two hours. Moreover, they advanced at the fastest speed along the way, and the people could not hold on. Generals such as Han Mo just took a break occasionally on the way to replenish their energy, so naturally it was impossible to really have a good sleep.

The spy only occasionally fed water for the past two days, but the food was not given. After a few days, the boy was already in a state of sluggishness and almost lost his strength to walk. His eyes were blurred and confused.

It's okay that this man was tired, but the weather was not good, and it started to drizzle. The rain was not heavy, but the convoy had to stop and cover the food with cowhide that had been prepared long ago to prevent the food from getting wet from getting wet from rain.

Their current location is in Qigu County, another territory of the Fan family, which is close to Xichun County. However, the roads in Qigu County are really difficult to walk, and there are many valleys.

Centipede Ridge is a famous place in Qigu County. There is no other avenue to pass through Centipede Ridge. You can only climb up Centipede Ridge and cross from Centipede Ridge. Although there is a road not far from Centipede Ridge, it is muddy and narrow, so it is not suitable for the convoy to move forward.

Although the terrain of Centipede Ridge is quite high, it has also built a very spacious official road, and the convoy is able to pass through, but the road is twisted, so it is already difficult for the convoy to maintain a tight formation. Moreover, when going uphill, the Imperial Guard could only put away the weapons and go forward to help push them.

Han Mo naturally found the local county government office and dispatched several yamen runners to lead the way. When he saw the Centipede Ridge, his heart felt a little cold. If the enemy really wanted to take action, this place would be a very steep place.

He did not rush to let the convoy move forward, but sent three cavalry scouts to the mountains to explore the reality and reality.

This Centipede Ridge is not too big. It took the three scouts half an hour to come back to report that they had not encountered any suspicious whereabouts in Centipede Ridge.

Han Mo discussed with the three deputy generals that if he was robbing food, at least hundreds of people would be able to get close. The whereabouts of hundreds of people would be able to detect them. Since there was no situation, it would prove that there was no ambush on the Centipede Ridge--at least not enough to deal with the ambush of the convoy.

Several people discussed and transported grain was important. Even if there were any ambushers on this ridge, they would have to make a breakthrough. Who else could they be afraid of as a dignified imperial guard?

The convoy started to go up the mountain, which was different from the flat ground. The Centipede Ridge said whether it was high or low or not, it was enough for you to take some effort. Moreover, God did not help, and it was drizzling, so it took half a day to go, and it was only half an afternoon that the last grain truck was pushed up the mountain.

After going up the mountain, everything went much smoother. The yamen runners led the way, while the convoy followed behind and walked forward.

After Han Mo went up the mountain, he saw that there were pine trees in the mountains. In addition to the avenue, there were many paths in the forest. After asking, he realized that there was a herb called "centipede orchid", which could only grow among the pine trees. Therefore, there were quite a few planted in this centipede ridge, and those paths were the paths that the medicinal planters would come out on a daily basis.

After a while, it was already dark. Han Mo couldn't help but order the convoy to continue to speed up. If he had not walked out of Centipede Ridge at night, it would be a problem.

The drizzle was drizzling and it was quite cold when it hit the body.

While the convoy was moving, I suddenly heard a scream from the rear of the convoy: "There are enemies, and there are enemies!"

Han Mo was shocked, turned his horse's head, pulled out his sword, galloped straight to the back of the convoy, and shouted loudly: "Don't panic, keep the formation!"
