The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

That night!

The brothers Gu Jingzhi and Lin Chong sat together in the tent, with the captain Chang An, the leader of the envoy's guard, standing beside them!

Lin Feng asked anxiously, "Cousin, where did Brother Liu go? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

Before Gu Jingzhi could respond, Lin Chong gave him a light kick. "Jingzhi has his reasons for doing things. Just be patient!"

"..."

Lin Feng opened his mouth, but saw Gu Jingzhi reading the book calmly and did not make a sound to disturb him.

Another cup of tea passed when there was a sudden noise outside the tent. Gu Jingzhi looked up and saw Liu Sandao walking in.

"grown ups!"

"Did you get the stuff?"

"Ok!"

Liu Sandao nodded heavily, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Gu Jingzhi. Gu Jingzhi took it, opened it and said, "You take a rest first, I'll finish reading it first!"

As he spoke, he opened the letter and read it silently.

After a while, he said with a look of joy: "The inner guards have not let me down!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chong and the other two looked at Gu Jingzhi curiously. Gu Jingzhi asked, "Are those over a hundred sets of Beili standard armor still there?"

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then realized that Gu Jingzhi was asking about the armor that was stripped from the Beili soldiers today. He nodded immediately.

"Here it is, placed with our baggage!"

"Ok!"

Gu Jingzhi nodded, then looked up at Lin Chong and said, "Cousin, if I asked you to lead a hundred men to a heavily guarded enemy city, would you dare?"

"???"

Lin Chong was completely bewildered.

Gu Jingzhi pulled out a map, found a location on it, and said, "According to the intelligence from the Internal Guard, Xiling County is where Yunzhou's 150,000-man army stores food and fodder. Food and fodder are shipped from Xiling to various locations every ten days!"

"The last time food and fodder was transported was seven days ago. According to military strategy, the current supply of food and fodder for the entire Yunzhou region will definitely not exceed five days!"

"My lord, are you planning to cut off Beili's food supply route?"

Liu Sandao asked subconsciously, then immediately shook his head: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Gu Jingzhi said, "From a time perspective, if we rush to Xiling by horse, traveling day and night, we can arrive in just one day!"

"Sir, even if Brother Lin uses Beili's armor and waist badge to trick the city gate open, it will be useless!"

Chang An, a captain of the envoy's guard who had also returned from the battlefield, said with some concern, "A 150,000-man army will require a huge amount of food and fodder. Even if a mere 100 men get in, I'm afraid the fire will be put out as soon as it starts!"

"You only know one side of the story!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled and said, "Because Beili has signed an alliance with Daxia, if Beili is withdrawing its troops, Xiling, a key location for storing food and fodder, must also be abandoned. According to the intelligence from the Internal Security, if my guess is correct, the food and fodder stored in Xiling right now is probably only enough to feed Yunzhou for ten days, or at most fifteen days!"

"Besides, who said I only allowed these one hundred people to go?"

"Cousin, are you going to transfer troops from General Li?"

Gu Jingzhi shook his head: "Mobilizing the border troops is definitely not an option. How could Nangong Shouyi ignore the movements of our border troops?"

"then you……"

"Captain Chang, I've heard that you and your two thousand men are veterans who have been rotated out from the frontier. If I asked you to lead an attack on Xiling, where five thousand men are stationed, would you dare?"

Emperor Xia had originally considered the complexity of this mission, so he assigned him a guard of 2,000 men, but he didn't expect that it would come in handy now.

"Sir, we soldiers will obey orders. If you have any plans, we will follow them, but..."

Chang An hesitated and said, "Two thousand men attacking a city guarded by five thousand, and it's also the most important city in Yunzhou. I'm afraid..."

They were afraid that not only would they fail to take the city, but they would also lose the lives of their soldiers in vain.

"Captain Chang was wrong!"

Gu Jingzhi laughed and said, "After Lin Chong leads a hundred men to blow open the city gate, you lead the other soldiers to charge in and burn the food and supplies!"

Chang An's eyes lit up, and he said, "If we seize the opportunity, with two thousand men, burning the enemy's food and supplies is no problem at all. But how do we evacuate?"

"This isn't difficult..."

Gu Jingzhi smiled slightly, then turned his gaze to Lin Chong. Lin Chong immediately reacted and said, "After Lord Chang enters the city, chaos will inevitably break out in Xiling City. Then I will lead my men to control the cost in the north. After the army burns the enemy's food supplies, we can break out from the north gate..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up.

Although this strategy is dangerous, it has a very high success rate.

Seeing that no one else objected, Gu Jingzhi sneered, "Nangong Shouyi wants to keep us hanging, so I'll cut him off. If these 150,000 men have nothing to eat or drink, I wonder what he'll have to fight us with!"

"But what if he lets his soldiers seize the food?"

Lin Chong suddenly muttered, "We've cut off his food supply, but he can just let his troops take the food. Then the people of Yunzhou will suffer!"

The others nodded when they heard this.

Yunzhou is about to be handed over to Daxia. If Nangong Shouyi allows his soldiers to plunder the people, then not only Yunzhou, but the other four states will also face an inevitable disaster.

Gu Jingzhi sneered and said, "It all depends on whether General Li can give his all!"

"General Li?"

Lin Feng asked curiously, "Why does General Li have anything to do with this?"

A glimmer of understanding flashed in Lin Chong's eyes. "If Yunzhou runs out of food and grass, the morale of the garrison troops stationed throughout Yunzhou will plummet. If General Li were to dispatch troops at this time, Nangong Shouyi, for the sake of his men, would probably not act rashly!"

"Not bad!"

Gu Jingzhi laughed and said, "If the food supply route is cut off, it will take at least ten days to half a month to transport food and grass from other prefectures! Besides...his food and grass must be delivered to Yunzhou!"

"..."

Liu Sandao opened his mouth and said, "Sir, Daxia has signed an alliance with Beili. Is this okay?"

"The covenant states that it will take effect from the day Beili withdraws his troops. Now that Nangong Shouyi refuses to hand over the city, the covenant between the two sides will not take effect. What good will it mean if I cut off his food supply?"

"..."

Ok!

It turns out that this covenant can be explained in this way!

Gu Jingzhi looked at Lin Feng and said, "Take the Great Xia Dragon Bird to Beichuan Prefecture later. Once Xiling succeeds, urge General Li to send troops to Yunzhou as soon as possible. I have already reached a consensus with him on the matter of helping the diplomatic envoys!"

Lin Feng nodded after hearing this: "Don't worry, cousin, it's not far to Beichuan. I'll ride as fast as I can and arrive in the early morning!"

Seeing this, Gu Jingzhi looked at Liu Sandao again and said, "The brothers under your command are all good fighters. When the time comes, follow Lin Chong and ensure the lifeline of our army."

"Also, Captain Chang! You need to instruct the Fire Head Battalion that during the few days we're away from the mission, our three meals a day should be the same as usual. No one should notice anything unusual!"

Chang An nodded when he heard this, but Liu Sandao hesitated slightly.

Seeing this, Gu Jingzhi immediately asked, "Is there anything else?"
