In a chaotic world of infrastructure development, a woman's path to survival after being reborn

It was precisely because this move concerned the livelihoods of the people that Su Li was so cautious.

After receiving the message from Su Li's messenger, Aunt Wang and the others did not dare to delay and quickly led their people to the mansion.

"Has Madam made a decision? Is she sure she wants to move most of the grain out of the warehouse?" Aunt Wang asked with some concern.

Su Li knew what Aunt Wang was worried about, so she comforted her, "Keep a portion of the grain for the people's monthly rations, and transport the rest to the border town."

Aunt Wang and the others had all heard about the situation in the border town, so when they heard Su Li's arrangement, they didn't say anything more, but nodded in agreement: "In that case, we will go back to the base to get food later."

Su Li nodded and then said, "Although the grain that has been transported out will not be completely consumed in a short time, we still need to be prepared. We originally thought that this winter would be a little easier, but I'm afraid that won't be the case now."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang and the others immediately said, "That's not so bad, since we still need to grow grain. We're just worried that the grain supply won't be timely."

Upon hearing this, Su Li nodded and said, "That is indeed an extremely important point, but there's no need to worry, we can just expand the scale."

"I'm planning to build a grain base in each of the other cities, but I'll need your help, aunties."

The more grain the better, which is what Aunt Wang and the others are happy to see. When they heard Su Li say this, they were overjoyed and immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "Don't worry, Madam, we will do our best."

……

Su Li acted swiftly, quickly writing a letter and sending a soldier ahead to deliver it to Zhao Zexuan.

By the time Zhao Zexuan received the letter, the grain transport team had already set off from Lingcheng, moving with incredible speed.

Upon receiving the letter, Zhao Zexuan immediately instructed his men to begin preparations. Since the Northerners had already used their scheme, they had to accept their return gift.

When the letter arrived, Wang Zong was standing to one side. After hearing Zhao Zexuan's instructions, he happily said, "In this way, we can be free from constraints and do our work without restraint."

Zhao Zexuan nodded, and also reminded him, "Although an abundance of food can make up for a temporary shortage, we must cherish it, because winter is just around the corner."

Wang Zong understood this and immediately nodded, saying, "The soldiers all know the importance of food and won't waste a single grain."

Hearing Wang Zong's words, Zhao Zexuan nodded, his gaze fixed on the distance, and said, "In that case, we must launch a counterattack as soon as possible. Hopefully, this battle can end soon."

***

After a few days of calm, the situation changed dramatically. The northern generals, who had been confident of victory, were incredulous, feeling that things had slipped out of their control.

The South's counterattack caught the North off guard. They frantically tried to find a solution, but no matter what schemes they devised, they were all in vain.

Once or twice is fine, but after a few times, people will notice something is wrong and suspect that there is a traitor inside.

Because Lu Zheng had previously strongly opposed the strategy of using refugees to attack the city, most of the generals in the north regarded him as a suspect.

Apart from Lu Zheng, the northern generals gathered together to discuss the situation.

Among the northern generals, some were eager to confirm Lu Zheng's identity as an inside agent, while others, who were neutral, felt it was unnecessary.

"If you think Lu Zheng isn't an inside agent, then who do you think this inside agent is?" a general pressed, questioning him aggressively.
