Creation Color Master

In the imperial capital, when Tang Tiansheng received the news from Chen Gong and Chu Mo, he understood the current predicament of Haozhou.

The reason for the delay in responding was that at about the same time, Haozhou Governor Zhou Wenlong also sent a report.

It said that since the first time he was ordered to find Chen Gong, he had been impressed by Chen Gong's talent after a conversation with him in a restaurant; recently he took the initiative to find Chen Gong again and asked him for advice on internal affairs and military affairs of Haozhou, and was amazed by his talent.

The letter even recorded his conversations with Chen Gong in detail. Some of the issues, especially the current shortcomings of Haozhou and the crises that might be encountered in the future, made the emperor's eyes light up.

Carefully thinking back on the contents of the letter, Tang Tiansheng felt terrified.

Finally, Zhou Wenlong even asked to step down and let Chen Gong take over as his deputy.

After reading Zhou Wenlong's letter, Tang Tiansheng realized that he had underestimated Chen Gong's talents. However, the reason why Tang Tiansheng had not appointed Chen Gong was the pressure from the court.

Tang Tiansheng often mentioned Chen Gong's name among the civil officials, and even the Shadows praised him highly, which indirectly brought hatred to Chen Gong.

Chen Gong, who had no official position and no political achievements, was not recognized by the civil service group. Everyone believed that Chen Gong needed to start from the grassroots level and accumulate political achievements.

In fact, Tang Tiansheng really wanted to use Chen Gong, because he knew that Chen Gong belonged to the Chu Mo lineage. When he heard that Chu Mo had comprehended the Great Way of Freedom, he knew clearly in his heart that Chu Mo had no chance of becoming the emperor. At the same time, his guilt increased a bit.

On the one hand, it was because of guilt, and on the other hand, it was to protect Chu Mo's safety. He knew the character of his sons clearly. Once he knew Chu Mo's true identity, Chu Mo would face endless assassinations.

Tang Tiansheng had been making plans some time ago, a plan to ensure Chu Mo's safety.

With his careful planning, the military power of Hanyang Pass was finally delivered to Chu Mo along with a powerful and influential figure without anyone suspecting anything.

As for Chen Gong, Tang Tiansheng naturally wanted him to take control of the internal affairs of Haozhou and become Chu Mo's right-hand man.

But now the court is full of hostility towards Chen Gong, and he cannot ignore everyone's strong dissuasion.

Just when Tang Tiansheng didn't know how to convince the civil servants in the court, the arrival of a letter brought a turning point in the situation.

Inside Hanyang Pass, Wanyan Kang's cultivation was sealed, and he was detained in a tent under heavy guard.

He has been detained since last night, and except for someone bringing him food, no one paid any attention to him no matter how much he shouted and screamed.

"You bunch of Xiayang lowly people, I am the prince of Guman, how dare you ignore me, is there anyone who can hear me, bring me some fine wine and barbecue, what are you serving?"

Then there was a sound of breaking dishes.

Outside the tent, six soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding spears looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and ignored the noise made by Wanyan Kang.

At this time, Wanyan Kang, with disheveled hair, loose clothes and a slightly disheveled look, walked out of the tent angrily.

"Boom"

Two soldiers crossed their weapons to stop Wanyan Kang and said sternly, "Marshal Lin has ordered that the prisoners of war must not leave the camp, otherwise they will be killed immediately."

Wanyan Kang glared at the six soldiers angrily, then left a harsh remark and turned to go into the tent.

The thick snow around Saiyanba showed no signs of melting. In a valley less than five miles away from Saiyanba, Lin Mingwei was lurking.

The thousand people brought by Mu Guiying were directly assigned to be the firemen, responsible for the food of more than 400,000 people. It happened that the place for making fire and cooking was arranged in a corner of Saiyan Dam because it was not valued.

By chance, Mu Guiying was away from the sight of the ancient barbarians, reducing the risk of exposure.

After two days and two nights of preparation, everything seemed to be ready.

The houses built with rocks were where people made fires and cooked. At this time, all the top leaders of the Yang family gathered together with their bowls in hand, eating while secretly discussing tonight's actions.

Check the entire process carefully to prevent any mistakes.

Mu Guiying glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone, this is our last meal in the enemy camp. Everyone, eat your fill. Tonight I want the Yanba to be turned into a sea of ​​fire."

At this moment, an old man with a red nose staggered in and said very skillfully, "Hey, are you guys eating?"

As he spoke, he quickened his pace, came to Yang Jiye and squatted down, saying, "Hey, Old Yang, do you have any good wine? How about giving me a few glasses?"

Mu Guiying laughed and said sarcastically, "Old Liang, the commander asked you to guard the granary, but you neglected your duty every time and got drunk in the army. Are you going to die?"

Old Man Liang said with a smile: "I am an old man, I don't have many years left to live. It's freezing cold, I'm afraid I won't make it through this winter if I don't drink some wine to warm myself up."

Yang Jiye said with embarrassment: "Old Liang, you came to my place to drink. If the Marshal finds out, you can't wrongly accuse me."

Old Man Liang said impatiently: "Oh, I am not that kind of person. Just take it out quickly."

As soon as Yang Jiye took out the jar of wine, Old Man Liang snatched it away impatiently and took a big gulp.

Everyone seemed used to it and let him drink on the side.

But after just a few sips, Old Man Liang fell to the ground drunk, and the wine in the jar spilled all over the floor.

Yang Jiye had drugged the wine, so it would take until tomorrow morning for Old Man Liang to wake up.

Mu Guiying stepped forward, pulled off a token from Old Man Liang's waist, and said, "With his and our tokens, you can enter and leave the granary freely tonight."

The granary involves the success or failure of a war, so it is often necessary to have heavy guards. They do not recognize people, but only tokens. Only with the tokens of the fireman and the granary manager can one enter and exit freely. Without either of them, one cannot enter.

In fact, as soon as Yang Jiye was assigned to the fire corps, in order to have free access to the granary, Mu Guiying deliberately let him contact her and try to please him. All this was in preparation for tonight.

Fearing that they would be exposed, they had Old Man Liang moved into a room and hidden. Everyone held their bowls and waited quietly for nightfall.

The long dark night passed by minute by minute, and thousands of people had already gathered together, waiting quietly.

It was the fifth watch, the time to go to the granary to transport food and prepare for cooking. Mu Guiying knew in her heart that it was time to take action.

The reason for choosing this time was that they were afraid that entering the granary at a special time would attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives.

In this way, thousands of people quietly entered the granary.

Show your token and enter safely without attracting anyone's attention.

Everyone looked at the white saltpeter scattered in various granaries, which could be ignited with just a slight spark.

Scattering scattered sparks in the granary, Mu Guiying shouted loudly: "Everyone, retreat quickly."

Seeing that the white saltpeter had been ignited, the fire soon began to spread.

Thousands of men armed with swords and guns rushed out and caught the soldiers guarding the food and grass outside by surprise.

Mu Guiying shouted, "Don't hesitate to fight. Let's charge out and join Marshal Lin."

As he said this, he took the lead and rushed in one direction.
