The explosion was deafening and flames and thick smoke rose into the sky.

The air was filled with a suffocating pungent smell, and the entire Yanjiabao was in chaos.

The guards fled in all directions, crying and shouting.

Along with the intermittent explosions, thick clouds of black smoke billowed out, and debris and fragments flew everywhere, shooting out like sharp arrows.

A huge hole was blown in the century-old Yanjiabao, and the walls that had not yet collapsed also showed shocking cracks.

Gu Nanxi waited until the smoke and dust had cleared before he led his troops straight into Yanjiabao.

How could Yanjiabao still look as rampant as before?

They were like headless flies, hiding under the table or running around.

After all, he was a Han Chinese, so the Yunzhou cavalry attacked him to death as soon as they met.

In fact, there was no need to kill them. They only needed to wave their whips, and these frightened guards would not even have the courage to resist. They would hang their heads dejectedly and let the Yunzhou cavalry drive them.

Seeing this scene, Mei Tang's mouth widened: "General, there are cellars, secret passages, and dungeons in Yan's Castle!"

Gu Nanxi gave Mei Tang two hundred soldiers, and Mei Tang smiled: "General, please rest assured, none of them can escape!"

Gu Nanxi sat in the center of Yanjiabao, which was similar to the square in Fuming Town and was paved with bluestone bricks.

There are eight wells in the square.

The stone bricks are not seamlessly joined, but rather have thin gaps deliberately left in them.

Rainwater and daily domestic wastewater will flow through these cracks into the pools.

"The master of the Yan family and the senior servants use well water. The dirty water is reserved for livestock and slaves to drink."

Gu Nanxi was puzzled: "Shuozhou is not short of water. Isn't there a small river near Yanjiabao?"

The butler who was tied up had fear in his eyes and his teeth were chattering: "The river water is used to irrigate the master's fields. How can those lowly people drink it?"

Gu Nanxi's face changed, it was totally off the mark!

She had only heard that some wastelands and mountains belonged to the nobles and ordinary people were not allowed to enter to cut down trees and pick fruits.

This was the first time she heard that even the river water could have the surname Yan!

Gu Nanxi said in a deep voice: "It seems that your Yan family has a lot of assets!"

At this time, the head of the Yan family was brought over by two strong Yunzhou soldiers.

Drops of cold sweat rolled down the forehead of the head of the Yan family. His face was pale and his old and dim eyes took a long time to focus.

"Yun, Duke Yun."

"Master Yan, you are too polite. I am here to retrieve Yunzhou's things and will leave after I am done."

Gu Nanxi had prepared several contingency plans. For example, what to do if they fought to the death after they broke into Yanjiabao?

What if they set fire to the granary?

What if they were pretending to surrender but were actually biding their time?

What was unexpected was that none of these plans were used.

The guards of Yanjiabao were frightened by the gunpowder. After seeing the murderous Yunzhou soldiers, they not only did not resist, but also tied themselves up very tactfully!

What's worse, some people even become guides.

This battle was like a dream for the three thousand Yunzhou soldiers.

Is this a war? Are you sure it's not a drill?

No! Even in Yunzhou's internal exercises, the fighting was more brutal than this.

Who dares to surrender during a performance? Wouldn't they be kicked to death by the instructor? !

As for the guide...it has never appeared in any of the performances.

"Damn it, this makes me feel so unfulfilled!"

"A punch hits cotton. Where is the overlord of Shuozhou? That's it?!"

"Before the battle, they said such harsh words. Can their erections last for half an incense stick? They shot faster than Hu Laosan!"

Everyone laughed, and Hu Lao San blushed: "Get lost! You hid under my bed?! You knew it?!"

"Hahaha……"

Everyone's laughter stopped the moment the granary was opened.

After a long time, there were gasps one after another: "Oh my god..."

Gu Nanxi sat on the chair, secretly calculating how much food the Yan family had.

According to news from Jiangnan, they used ships to transport a total of 200,000 shi of grain.

After deducting the loss on the road and the 30,000 shi that was taken back by Wang Buxi, the remaining 170,000 shi were divided among these families.

These 170,000 shi may sound like a lot, but in fact they are only 20 million jin.

A million people would need about 1 million catties of food and fodder per day. 20 million catties would only last for 20 days.

Gu Nanxi frowned tightly. Even if all the grain was taken back, the people of Yunzhou would still have to tighten their belts and live a frugal life.

"Great, great General!" Hu Laosan's eyes were shining and red with excitement.

"Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly."

Hu Laosan took several deep breaths and finally calmed down: "There is so much grain in the granary! So much!"

Hu Laosan stretched out his hands, gestured, and wished he could jump up on the spot.

The head of the Yan family lowered his head to hide the hatred in his heart. It doesn’t matter, it’s just a drop in the bucket!

After Duke Yun leaves, the Yan family will definitely be able to stand up again!

At that time, he must find out what Duke Yun had just used and why it was so powerful.

If the Yan family also has something like this, what is there to be afraid of?

Gu Nanxi was amused by Hu Laosan's actions: "How much is that much?"

Hu Laosan was drooling. "At least tens of thousands of dan, and a mountain of smoked meat! The rats in the granary are so fat that they can hardly walk!"

Several soldiers following behind Hu Laosan also started gesticulating with their hands, showing how big the granary was and how full it was!

The Yunzhou soldiers who did not go to the granary were delighted when they heard this. With these grains and fodder, the people of Yunzhou would no longer have to suffer from hunger!

"Haha, this little bit of food makes you so happy. If you hear what I say next, won't you be overjoyed?" Mei Tang walked over slowly, waving a fan.

Behind him followed a group of girls and boys dressed in silk, all of whom had their wrists tied with thick hemp ropes and were being led over like sheep.

The head of the Yan family suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red with anger: "Sanlang, Silang!"

Hearing the voice of the head of the Yan family, the girls and young men burst into tears.

"master!"

"Grandfather, save me!"

"Grandfather, I'm so scared!"

Mei Tang turned his head and shouted with a stern face: "Quiet! The general is here, stop making noise!"

Frightened by Mei Tang, the young men swallowed their tears and choked with hiccups.

"You! You!" The head of the Yan family felt distressed and held his breath, his old face turned a little gray.

Mei Tang glanced at him, snorted coldly, and then smiled and reported to Gu Nanxi: "Congratulations, General! There is a basement under the Yan Family Castle! In addition to countless gold, silver and jewelry, there are also a lot of food and grass!"

"I guess they wanted to hoard the food and take advantage of the drought to sell it at a high price! Now it all belongs to us."

Yanjiabao is so big, but the whole underground is a basement?!

Gu Nanxi was silent for a moment, then corrected himself: "It was originally ours, but was taken away by the robbers."
