Chapter 202: Go Straight in and Move
A few miles away from Bianzhou City, Zhao tightened his horse's reins and stopped. Visiting the old place again brings a different mood.
But now that he had important things to do, he didn't feel emotional. He turned around and asked Jiang Qianhu behind him, "Is the boat ready?"
"When you're ready, stop by the canal." Like the others, Jiang Qianhu stopped his horse behind Zhao Ju and looked at Bianzhou from a distance, his eyes heavy.
"There are three large ships in total. Although one hundred thousand dans cannot be loaded, 20,000 to 30,000 dans are still more than enough."
"It's not far from the villa. If it doesn't work, just make two more trips."
Zhao nodded. He had calculated that three large ships were the best choice. If you switch to a small boat, too many are needed, so it will be difficult to find a reason to dock or an excuse to leave the city. After all, there were so many boats docked along the river bank, and the movement was too great.
Three large ships are just right. While the efficiency of grain transportation can be guaranteed, they can also greatly reduce vigilance and not attract too much attention.
After all, it is normal for a few large ships to pass by occasionally on the canal, but it is not normal to pass a group of small boats all at once.
"Let's go into the city in batches." He took out the map of Bianzhou and looked at it. After identifying the location of the official warehouse, he rode towards the city gate.
Zhuque behind him became anxious. He went up and grabbed Zhao Jiu's sleeve, and asked in a hurry, "Oh, there are boats to transport grain, and we can use waterways. But how to get the grain out of the official warehouse? Let's fight in as a group?"
"Are you crazy?" Zhao shook his sleeves and looked back at Suzaku in surprise.
"Don't you know what it is to break into an official warehouse without permission? Lingchi! Aren't you afraid of being cut to pieces by a thousand cuts?"
Suzaku withdrew his hand helplessly, "Then what do you think we should do? Watch them fly out on their own?"
"What else can I do? Just go in and move while it's dark, otherwise why would I bring so many people here?"
"Haha, I guess it's not that I'm not afraid, it's that you're not afraid of being cut to pieces!"
After saying that, Suzaku hit the horse and walked forward. She thought Zhao was joking, but in fact, that's what Zhao thought.
He turned to look at Jiang Qianhu and shrugged helplessly. This woman is really troublesome. She doesn't like to hear the truth, and she doesn't like to hear some confusing talk.
There is nothing we can do.
He took Jiang Qianhu into the city and found a hotel where he could stay. After running around all night, Zhao was fine, but Jiang Qianhu was so exhausted that he fell asleep in bed without even eating.
While there was still time, Zhao went out for a few walks alone, and the scenery remained the same.
It was getting dark, and everyone was about to wake up and get up to eat. During this period, Jiang Qianhu and Zhuque asked again and again how to get in to move food, but they were all fooled by Zhao Jiu's few words.
Zhao didn't like to let the news leak beforehand when it was a matter of life and death. The lessons learned from Beijing were still fresh in his mind and he couldn't make the same mistake again.
After the three of them had eaten and drank enough, Zhao said "Let's go" and took the two of them out.
The road was winding and twisting, turning in circles. Jiang Qianhu and Zhuque were tired of leaving, so Zhao stopped at the restaurant behind the official warehouse.
"Let's go up and wait. It's not time yet."
Although the two were confused, they had no objections. After all, Zhao Jiu is the one who calls the shots. They are the ones who work. They just need to obey and do what they are told.
The three of them drank tea and waited for three quarters of an hour. Zhao suddenly told Jiang Qianhu, "Go and call the brothers..."
"Let's go down too."
The two stood in the shadows, staring at the motionless gatekeepers behind the official warehouse, waiting quietly for everyone to arrive.
"Sir, everyone is here."
"Wait..." Zhao Jian still stared at the soldiers without turning his head.
Two quarters of an hour later, Zhao turned around and gathered everyone together, pointed at the soldiers and said seriously, "In a quarter of an hour, the rest of the two men in the official warehouse will go to the front to change defenses. There will be a gap of 200 breaths. At that time, Just come in with me."
"After entering, don't rush into the warehouse. After the defense change, they will enter the warehouse to check. So you all hold your breath and hide on the roof. If anyone dares to make any noise, I will kill him!"
Everyone nodded, seriously.
Zhao nodded and continued, "At the end of the night, they will be gone for nearly half a quarter of an hour. When the time comes, they can move as much as they can!"
"Old Jiang, please don't go in. Take four or five people to find a carriage so that the food can be transported away."
Jiang Qianhu replied in a low voice, "Okay."
A quarter of an hour was not long, it almost passed in the blink of an eye. As Zhao said, the two soldiers turned around and pushed the door open and walked inside.
"Let's go." Zhao took the lead and quickly approached the official warehouse. He leaned against the wall and listened until there was no movement inside, then turned over the wall.
After looking around and finding no one, the cat meowed to signal.
Only then did everyone climb over the wall and come in. After nodding, they jumped onto the roof and waited quietly.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for two soldiers holding lanterns to open the door of the warehouse and get in. Everyone was shocked, especially the people responsible for investigating the official warehouse of Bianzhou.
Several of them knew the time of the defense change and the gap during the Chou time, but they went into the warehouse to check after the defense change and couldn't find it. How did Zhao know?
Zhao could only laugh at this. There were no high-rise buildings near Guancang in Bianzhou, and the complete defense change process could not be seen. But there is it in Lin'an, and Lin'an can see it.
As for why the processes in Lin'an and Bianzhou were the same, Zhao didn't know. He was just being cautious.
A quarter of an hour later, two soldiers came out and closed the door. One of them said dissatisfiedly, "Oh, you have to check to change the defense. You have to do two jobs for one price!"
"Forget about it. If something happens now, do you have a second head? It's just a few steps away, it won't take much time." Another man patted his shoulder and walked back with a lantern.
The crowd, either lying or lying, quietly waited on the roof for the two to walk away before jumping off the roof, opening the door and getting into the warehouse.
After closing the door, one man just took out the tinder, and was immediately held down by Zhao, who whispered, "Do you have a brain? If this place catches fire, you won't have enough heads to chop off ten people!"
The man was startled, quickly put away the tinder, nodded silently and sat down to rest.
Time passed silently, and soon there was the sound of footsteps outside. As the sound got farther and farther away, Zhao stood up and waved to everyone.
He said, "Go and move it quickly, try to move the middle one, hurry up."
After speaking, Zhao took the lead and began to put food into the sack.
Half a quarter of an hour later, everyone carried a bulging sack on their backs, jumped out of the courtyard wall, turned and ran towards the carriage.
Captain Jiang drove the carriage and waited, loaded several large bags of grain and rushed to the canal. The others put down the sacks and leaned against the wall to rest.
Zhuque looked at the carriage going away and asked puzzledly, "How long will it take to move 100,000 dan just like ants moving?"
Zhao laughed and said, "Sleep during the day and work at night, it will take about 24 or 25 days."
"There is no other way, this is the best solution. If we don't do this, we will either not get any grain, or the grain will be in place..."
"Heads fall!"
