I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

"We can't contact the defenders in the city. Could it be that we can't find where their food is?"

Cao Mao chuckled lightly.

The spies under him have all received strict training as factory guards.

It is not easy to find out where the rebels' granary is, but it is feasible.

"In that case, let's make arrangements according to Shi Zai's plan!"

Cao Mao waved his hand and made up his mind!
In order to find out the location of the granary as soon as possible, Cao Mao not only sent out all the scouts in the army, but also dispatched Yanyun eighteen cavalry and a thousand cavalry to search quickly within a radius of a hundred miles.

Finally, after three days, I finally found the location of the rebel granary!

It's just north of Ji County, about an hour's journey away.

There are several rolling hills here, and the granary is located in this hill!

If it hadn't just happened to bump into a rebel army coming out of it to transport grain, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find it for a few more days.

"My lord, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break into it."

Yan Liang's brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was a little dignified.

Beyond those few hills, there is bare open space, not to mention trees, not even grass.

If you want to get close to the granary from under the enemy's nose, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go to the sky.

The granary is surrounded by walls made of giant wood, without siege equipment such as ballistas, it is extremely difficult to capture.

Faced with such a difficult problem, everyone felt helpless for a while.

Even Deng Ai was helpless.

Cao Mao got up slowly, observed the surrounding situation, and then came to a small stream, intending to wash his face.

However, just as he squatted down, he smelled a pungent smell!

Cao Mao's heart moved, and he looked down, only to see a layer of black oil floating on the water.

This... is this oil?
He couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Huaxia is one of the first countries in the world to discover, exploit and utilize oil. There were records of oil as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Ban Gu even mentioned in his works, "Dingyang, Gao Nu, has muddy water, and fat can be dipped."

I didn't expect that there would be oil here!
With this thing, not to mention pretending to attack the granary, I am afraid that the granary of the rebel army will be completely destroyed, and the morale of the rebel army will be hit with ease!

Thinking of this, Cao Mao stood up, returned to the crowd, and said in a deep voice,
"We can use fire to destroy the granary!"

Everyone was stunned.

But Yan Liang gave a wry smile,
"My lord, this strategy of attacking with fire... I'm afraid it won't work."

Needless to say, the importance of food and grass to the army.

Therefore, when the rebels built the granary, they considered this.

In the location they chose, a stream flowed from the granary.

Facing everyone's questions, Cao Mao smiled mysteriously.

He took out the water bag and poured the fresh water from the stream onto the bare land.

Then he ordered someone to take out the flint and steel.

At what time sparks erupted, amidst the exclamation of everyone, I saw that the pool of water miraculously burst into flames!
"This...how is this possible?"

Yan Liang was dumbfounded.

Wen Chou beside him was also full of disbelief.

Water can put out fire, this is a matter of course!
However, today's scene completely overturned their cognition!

On the other hand, after the initial shock, Deng Ai pondered for a moment, raised his head and asked,

"My lord, is this the fertilizer and water recorded in the "Book of the Former Han Dynasty" written by Ban Gu?"

Cao Mao glanced at Deng Ai in surprise, but he didn't expect him to know about this matter.

"good."

Cao Mao nodded and introduced to everyone,

"This thing is not water. It is most appropriate to call it oil. It is extremely flammable and cannot be extinguished by water. It is most suitable for fire attacks."

Ma Chao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help saying,

"So that's it! We can use this thing to destroy the granaries of the rebels!"

"It's not too late, you will follow my instructions immediately and extract oil from the stream."

Cao Mao ordered in a deep voice.

Under his command, the army spent a whole day filling the water bags they carried with them with black oil.

Although the quality of these oils is not as good as the unprocessed crude oil of later generations, it is enough to deal with the granaries of the rebels.

"Yan Liang, Wen Chou!"

Cao Mao shouted in a deep voice.

"The end is here!"

The two said in a low voice.

"The two of you lead a team of a hundred people, put on rebel uniforms, and approach the granary. After tricking you into opening the gate of the camp, hold on until we catch up."

"As ordered!"

Cao Mao looked at Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and said softly,
"It's extremely dangerous to go here, if the two of you don't want to, I can go there myself!"

Yan Liang laughed out loud,
"Could it be that the lord looks down on us two brothers?"

"Exactly! Without the audacity and courage of a shroud of horse leather, how can you have the face to follow the lord?"

Wen Chou also smiled indifferently.

"That's good! Let's go!"

Cao Mao waved his hand!
Yan Liang and Wen Chou, together with a hundred dead soldiers, took off their armor clothes, put on the ragged clothes of the rebels, and headed towards the granary!
Cao Mao, Ma Chao and others are fully prepared.

Once there was a shout of killing over there, the whole army would cover up and kill them.

……

Yan Liang and Wen Chou led their men and swaggered towards the camp where the granary was located.

Along the way, I also encountered a few rebel soldiers standing guard.

But these people saw that Yan Liang and the others were wearing the clothes of the friendly army, and there were only a few hundred people, so they didn't take it seriously and let them pass.

in the camp.

"General, a group of people suddenly came outside the village, claiming to be sent by General Cheng."

A messenger reports.

Hearing this, a burly general with beards sat up, frowned and said,

"Strange, didn't you send out a batch of military rations the day before yesterday? Why did you send someone here again?"

He is Zhang Heng, one of Han Sui's eight generals, who is in charge of guarding this place.

While muttering, Zhang Heng stood up, carrying the weapon, and came to the gate of the camp.

"That guy Cheng Yin, why did you send you here?"

Zhang Heng said lazily.

"Reporting to the general, my general said that the consumption of food and grass is excessive, and ordered us to transport another batch from here."

Yan Liang said in a deep voice.

Wen Chou's eyes were a little nervous, and he involuntarily clenched the spear in his hand.

Seeing that there were only 100 of them, Zhang Heng didn't think too much about it, so he nodded and said,
"Open the camp gate!"

Several rebel soldiers slowly opened the gate of the camp, Zhang Heng cursed and said,
"Cheng Yin and the others are pigs, eating up the food and grass so quickly..."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Yan Liang and Wen Chou who walked in, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.

The bodies of the two people in front of them are too strong, especially in their eyes, which are full of killing intent.

Zhang Heng has never seen such a magnanimous figure in the rebel army!
"No, close the door!"

But it's too late now!
Yan Liang and Wen Chou shouted loudly and squeezed towards the gate of the camp.
