As night fell, Nan Jiyun saw three hundred Hidden Wing warriors. They entered Chang'an three months ago to follow Zhang Ping, waiting for the opportunity to become internal agents.

The warrior leader is called Dugu Ren, and he is also a general of the Dugu family. He has been a slave of the Dugu family for several generations and is loyal to the Dugu family.

In the atrium of Dugu Mansion, Nan Jiyun and everyone else put on Yan Army armor. In fact, it was no different from Tang Army armor, except that the bronze helmets were painted black.

Nan Jiyun said slowly: I'm going to Nan Jiyun. General Hu Benlang of the Jianghan Tang Army came to the city on the order of His Royal Highness King Lu to mobilize the internal response. I will temporarily serve as your commander tonight. Although it is only temporary, the military regulations are still strict. , if you disobey orders or act without authorization, I will behead you immediately and will not tolerate you. Please obey my orders!

Follow the order!

Three hundred people shouted together, their voices uniform.

Nan Jiyun nodded secretly. He was indeed the most famous and powerful warrior in Chang'an City. He was indeed extraordinary.

Now let's go to the granary together and take action at the third watch!

Nan Jiyun immediately appointed Li Xiyue and Dugu Ren as deputy generals. Both of them commanded a hundred men, and he personally commanded a hundred men.

Three hundred people left Dugu Mansion and lined up towards Taiji Palace. Taicang and Siku are located in the northeast of Taiji Palace and north of Yeting Palace. They are two miles long and wide. There are hundreds of granaries, storing 500,000 shi of grain. .

In addition, there are more than thirty warehouses in Zuozangku, which were originally used to store various kinds of money, silk, and items. However, some of these items were snatched away by soldiers, and some were rewarded by An Lushan to his generals. In fact, the warehouses are already empty.

An Lushan simply moved the military items over and turned it into an ordnance warehouse, storing a large number of armor weapons. He simply changed the name of the Zuozang warehouse to the armor warehouse.

Although Zuo Zangku had no money, Anlushan had money. A huge amount of money was piled up in Daming Palace. In Li Longji's inner treasury, it was also Anlushan's private property.

But he left in a hurry and had no time to move away. An Lushan had no choice but to rely on An Taiqing to protect Chang'an and his treasure house.

Taicang and Bingjia warehouse are very important. Cui Guangyuan and Su Yao had planned to burn Taicang before, but they were reported by Zhang Ping and failed. An Lushan specially sent three thousand people to guard the warehouse.

But now the situation is different. An Taiqing's troops are stretched thin, and it is too luxurious to let 3,000 men guard the warehouse. At Zhang Ping's repeated request, An Taiqing handed over the warehouse to Zhang Ping's 1,500 men to guard. It turned out that Three thousand people were transferred to guard the back gate of the palace.

Three hundred Hidden Wing warriors lined up and walked on the street. Since the afternoon, Chang'an has been under full martial law. The city gates and square gates have been closed, and no one is allowed to go out on the streets. Of course, the people can live in the square, and a square is equivalent to a small county. , there is food, drink, entertainment, firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc., everything is available.

But if you dare to climb over the wall and appear on the street, once you are caught by the patrol, you will not survive and will be executed on the spot. Therefore, many people who are active at night must stop at this time. In the past, if they were caught, they would be beaten with dozens of sticks. Let go, now it’s time to behead.

At this time, a patrol came towards him. The leading general looked at the team strangely. This was his patrol range. How could there be other troops?

Password!

It's snowing heavily in Youzhou! Nan Jiyun replied casually.

The command was correct, and the other general asked with a smile: Excuse me, whose subordinates are you?

We were ordered to guard the granary!

The general said Oh——, it turned out to be the subordinates of the county magistrate Zhang Ping. He felt contempt in his heart and laughed dryly, Thank you for your hard work!

Nan Jiyun clasped his fists in a salute and led everyone away.

General, this army looks quite mighty! Another captain looked back at Nan Jiyun's back.

Mighty ass!

The patrol general spat on the ground, They are all rogues from Chang'an. Even though they look like dogs now, if they really go to the battlefield, these bastards will definitely run faster than rabbits!

The soldiers laughed heartily and continued to patrol the streets.

Nan Jiyun led the team to the gate of Taiji Palace. The gate was closed and guarded by more than a dozen soldiers. Nan Jiyun shouted loudly: We are granary guards, open the door!

Password!

Heavy snow in Youzhou!

After a while, the left door slowly opened, and the guard guard said: Just walk along the left wall of the alley until you reach the end.

Thank you very much!

Nan Jiyun led the team towards the left alley. He was not going to the granary, but to Fanglin Gate.

Taiji Palace is the residence of some old palace maids, old eunuchs and old palace concubines. No one cares about their life and death, so they are left to fend for themselves in Taiji Palace. Every month, the eunuchs will send some grain and rice supplies.

Of course, An Lushan didn't care about their life or death, but the eunuch in charge of the palace still sent them grain and rice every month as always. It didn't cost much, and An Lushan didn't bother.

Walk forward along a side alley that is several miles long. At the end, there are two doors in front of you. The door on the front leads to Fanglin Gate, and on the side is Taicang and Fuku.

There was an iron chain around the handle of the front door, and a large iron lock was hung on it. Nan Jiyun turned around and winked. Immediately, a soldier stepped forward and gently poked the keyhole with a thin iron rod. The big lock clicked. ! ’ When the door opened, Nan Jiyun took off the thick iron chain and gently pushed the door open.

Outside the gate is a very long square. The square is a hundred paces wide and about two miles long. It is empty and there is no one. This square is naturally a buffer. Otherwise, if a rocket is fired from outside the palace wall, the granary can be destroyed. lit.

Diagonally opposite is a tall palace gate, which is the Fanglin Gate. Outside is the West Inner Garden. You can faintly see many soldiers on the palace wall, at least about a thousand. This is their mission. They will fight with a thousand Yan army soldiers. Fierce fighting.

But it was still early, so Nan Jiyun closed the door and entered Taicang through another door first.

Before the second watch, Li Ye led an army of 50,000 to Chang'an. This time he attacked Chang'an. Li Ye fought a surprise attack. He used the time difference to catch the Yan army by surprise.

According to the information Zhang Ping gave him, An Lushan gathered all the grain in Chang'an, and then regularly transported the grain northward.

In other words, as long as he defends Chang'an for a month, Anlushan's 200,000-strong army will run out of food. In fact, it is enough to defend Chang'an for half a month. It will also take half a month for the army to withdraw from Luoyang. It was impossible to march for half a month without eating or drinking some of the food eaten on the road.

This is indeed a risky move. Can an army of 50,000 withstand an army of 200,000 attacking the city? Li Ye was not sure at all, but he had no retreat.

If he retreats back to Shangzhou, 200,000 troops will return to Lingzhou. It will be difficult for him to attack Chang'an again, and even if he captures Chang'an again at that time, he will not be able to save Lingzhou's demise.

Li Ye bypassed Chang'an City and came to the West Inner Garden in the North City.

The West Neiyuan covers an area of ​​about 1,600 acres, with forests, lakes, rivers and grasslands. It is the royal forbidden garden of Taiji Palace. Since the Daming Palace built the East Neiyuan, the West Neiyuan has become the garrison of the Forbidden Army. .

The west inner garden was full of army tents, but the army was no longer visible. The 10,000 cavalry guarding Anlu Mountain fled north in panic, and the military camp was in a mess.

It was not yet the third watch, so Li Ye ordered the soldiers to rest where they were, and he sent people to Fanglin Gate to investigate the situation.

In fact, they were only one mile away from Fanglin Gate, and only a forest separated them from Gongcheng Gate.

Li Ye also sat down to rest for a while, patiently waiting for the opportunity to come.
