"What can I get?" Sima Shang asked after thinking for a moment.

He couldn't sell out his country and his soldiers' lives, but it was only a matter of time before Liaoyang was conquered. The money and treasures in the treasury would either fall into the hands of Qin or be divided up by the dignitaries in Liaoyang and Zhao Cong and others.

Rather than letting the powerful people in Qin and Zhao get an advantage, it would be better to cooperate with Bingzhou and get a piece of the pie.

"30-70 split, 7 for us and 3 for you." Yan Yan said with a smile.

Sima Shang pondered again. The 30:70 split was reasonable, after all, it was the Military Control Commission that did the work.

"There are a lot of money and goods in the treasury. You can't empty the warehouse. What you can take away are only the treasures inside. These treasures are unique. I dare not show them to others. Therefore, I need you to convert them into Qin half coins." Sima Shang thought for a long time and spoke again.

Things that can be called treasures are naturally easy to be recognized by others, so he didn't dare to take it. Once recognized, he would be finished.

"Okay!" Yan Yan nodded.

"Two days later, under the willow tree east of Liaoyang City!" Sima Shang thought about it and agreed on a time.

He also needed some preparation time to figure out the defense strength and structure of the Liaoyang City Treasury, as well as what treasures were contained therein.

"How many people do we have in Liaoyang?" After Sima Shang left, Yan Yan turned to Mo Ya and asked.

"There are three groups of nine people responsible for intelligence gathering, two groups of six people responsible for military intelligence, twenty-one people responsible for mission execution, and two hundred and twenty-eight non-staff personnel and informants." Mo Ya accurately stated the personnel of their Military Control Commission in Liaoyang City.

"So many?" Yan Yan was a little surprised.

"Because of the war between Zhao and Qin, the army was mobilized, and some people withdrew from Yanyu City to Liaoyang, so there are so many people. The number has exceeded the number of people in Handan Station." Mo Ya explained.

After all, Yanyu City is the number one fortress in the world, so they have deployed a lot of people.

As Yanyu City fell, these people also moved to Liaoyang.

"So, we have the ability to empty the Liaoyang treasury!" Yan Yan smiled.

Liaoyang was the supply transit city for Yanyu City, so the Liaoyang treasury stored a large amount of food, supplies, and money, and naturally a large number of treasures.

As the Qin army attacked, supplies from the western cities of Zhao were also transferred to Liaoyang.

"Yes!" Mo Ya nodded.

They had a lot of available men in Liaoyang, so emptying the treasury wasn't a big problem.

It's just that it's more difficult to transport Liaoyang.

"Then let's go into Liaoyang and take a look!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

It is very difficult to transport such a large amount of supplies directly, but they can move the supplies in the treasury and store them in a mansion that neither Qin nor Zhao wants to provoke. After the Qin army occupies Liaoyang and the army continues to move forward, they will transfer these supplies to Bingzhou.

As for why we want to cooperate with Sima Shang.

The reason is actually very simple. No matter how transparent Sima Shang is, he is still a senior general of the State of Zhao. It is easy for him to mobilize one or two troops to inspect the treasury. At least the yamen runners and county soldiers in Liaoyang dare not bother Sima Shang.

As long as Sima Shang could give them two hours when they took action, they would be able to empty the Liaoyang treasury.

Therefore, Yan Yan brought Mo Ya and sneaked into Liaoyang City and began to look for a house suitable for storing supplies.

"Lord Yangquan, Zhao Bao's property?" Yan Yan was a little surprised.

Zhao Bao was the descendant of Pingyuan Jun, the prime minister of Zhao State, the previous prime minister of Zhao State, and a member of the royal family of Zhao State, so no one dared to investigate his property and residence.

However, the upper class nobles of Zhao State were well aware that Liaoyang could not be defended, so they sold off their properties at low prices and transferred them.

Yan Yan successfully bought Zhao Bao's property in Liaoyang at less than 30% of the market price. The house had five entrances and five exits and was fully capable of storing all the supplies in the treasury.

The most important thing is that this mansion is very close to the Liaoyang Treasury. However, during this inspection, Yan Yan and Mo Ya also found that many people had the same idea as them, especially the dignitaries in Liaoyang.

Making money from national disasters is a compulsory course for the nobility.

Of course, as the nobility and the powerful class, they would not take action themselves.

Therefore, those who came were the white gloves of the nobles and some gangsters.

"They are all small sects. None of the top schools of thought are involved. They are just some gangsters!" Mo Ya simply looks down on these small characters.

These small sects and schools dare to call themselves the Black Tiger Sect, the Kaishan Sect, or the Liaoyang Sword Sect when they open a boxing gym in the city.

If this gets out, all those big and powerful sects will laugh their heads off.

Is it so easy to establish a sect?
Even the world-famous Wei Wuzu only dared to call themselves the Pijia Sect, but did not dare to call themselves a sect or a school. However, a small country like Liaoyang, who did not even have many mainstream warriors, dared to set up a sect or a school.

"Don't worry about them!" Yan Yan didn't care about these people.

What really deserved their attention were the yamen runners and county soldiers and military officers of Liaoyang government.

Two days later, Sima Shang left a note about the defense of Liaoyang Prefecture Treasury under the willow tree. At the same time, he transferred a team of soldiers who were supposed to be stationed in the Treasury Lifang of Liaoyang Prefecture, ostensibly to repair the city wall defenses.

So, that night, Yan Yan led the Military Control Commission's operatives to sneak into the Liaoyang Treasury.

After knocking out the treasury guard, a group of people took away the weapons, food, coins and treasures in the treasury without any concealment.

"The number is a little wrong. It's two-thirds less than the information provided by Sima Shang!" Yan Yan frowned.

Mo Ya also discovered this fact. The list of treasury income and expenditure provided by Sima Shang showed that there were tens of thousands of stones of grain and fodder, but they only transported more than 20,000 stones, and only more than 10,000 coins. There were not many weapons missing, but nearly fifty sets of armor were missing.

"Who is it?" Just as Yan Yan and Mo Ya were counting, two figures suddenly rushed in.

A sword light was red, and a sword shadow was like a spirit snake.

Yan Yan did not draw his sword. Instead, he stretched out his hand and deflected the fierce sword energy with one finger. Then, he turned his sword finger into a claw and grabbed the soft sword that was as nimble as a spirit snake.

"There are masters!" Two figures emerged from the night.

"Guigu Zongheng, Hengjianshu, Wei Zhuang!"

"The sword is like a spirit snake, Zi Lanxuan, Zi Nu!"

Yan Yan recognized the two distinctive swords and shouted in a low voice.

The figures of Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu also appeared, looking at the masked man in black in front of them with some shock.

They were all among the best masters in the martial arts world. Even after they joined forces to launch a surprise attack, they were actually repelled by the opponent alone, and it seemed that the opponent had not even used his full strength.

"Grandmaster!" Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu looked at each other.

They never expected that they would meet a rare master in such a small place.

After the fall of Han, they had been wandering around Xinzheng, attacking Qin, and even created Niliusha, determined to restore their country.

But restoring the country requires money, and going against the flow of sand also requires funds.

Therefore, they set their sights on the Liaoyang Treasury.

But I never expected that the small Liaoyang actually had so many experts, and even a grandmaster leading the team!
