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

Chapter 440: The territory is the battlefield, the people's hearts are the battlefield!

“Laozi, Laozi…”

Wu Xiao said it twice, but felt his throat was about to smoke. He turned around and shouted to the person next to him: "You tell him!"

The dazed Beili soldier was startled by the sudden shout and shouted upwards with all his might, "We've been ambushed!"

ambush?

The captain was stunned for a moment, then horrified.

"Quick, open the city gate!"

While asking the question, he also secretly observed Wu Xiao's side and found that many of them were familiar faces, so he felt relieved.

When the city gate slowly opened, the captain turned around and walked down the city wall.

Wu Xiao is his superior. Although he looks miserable this time, he is still a general with a higher rank than him.

Wu Xiao and the others supported each other and walked towards Jin'an City. Just as they entered the city gate, suddenly...

"Pfft..."

The sound of several swords hitting flesh could be heard, followed by screams.

"???"

Wu Xiao's eyes widened, and he was about to speak when he heard someone shout, "Quick, seize the city gate!"

The voice came from the person behind him. He turned around and saw a ferocious face. Then he felt a pain in his lower abdomen. He saw a Beili sword piercing his lower abdomen...

……

Beichuan Prefecture.

Gu Jingzhi sat in the commander's tent, silently reading the military reports from various places.

But only he himself knew that he didn't read a single word. He was waiting for news, waiting for news from Jinshatan.

The work of Jinshatan was naturally from him.

The so-called news of the withdrawal of the armies of Lingzhou and Daizhou was naturally a smokescreen he released. In fact, there were only a few thousand soldiers and horses leaving the two states. They just hung branches behind their horses, disguised themselves as a large army marching during the day, and set up camps of tens of thousands of people at night.

There were scouts constantly exploring around the army, which caused the scouts of the Yu Beili Army to not dare to get too close, and this was how they deceived the Beili scouts.

But even so, he was always worried. After all, every link in his current situation was crucial, and his opponent was Nangong Shouyi, who was known as a famous general in the world.

All Gu Jingzhi could bet on was Nangong Shouyi's contempt for him.

These days, in order to show his amateur leadership ability, he has tried really hard to act out a scene, but he has to try not to overdo it.

With the cooperation from the capital, he was able to deceive Nangong Shouyi.

Thinking of this, he sighed softly.

At this moment, footsteps were suddenly heard outside the tent. Gu Jingzhi raised his head and saw Lin Chong striding into the tent.

"good news!"

"A great victory at Jinshatan! Chen Liang followed his plan and had some of his soldiers disguise themselves as retreating Beili troops, blending in with the crowd and capturing the gates of Jin'an City!"

"Now the remaining 20,000 people in Jin'an City have been wiped out, and only a few have fled to Yunzhou City!"

Lin Chong finished speaking in one breath, and Gu Jingzhi suddenly felt relieved.

"it is good!"

He slammed the table and said, "Leave 20,000 men to guard Beichuan Prefecture, and then gather the remaining troops to rush to Jin'an!"

"rush to the rescue?"

Lin Chong was stunned and said, "Jin'an is sandwiched between Tongji and Yunshang. It seems that even if we send a large army there now, it won't be of any use, right?"

"Now that we've annihilated their 50,000-man army, this is a rare and significant victory. Why not withdraw the army while we're ahead?"

"No!"

Gu Jingzhi's eyes lit up as he said, "Now is not the time to withdraw our troops. We must lure out that old fox Nangong Shouyi!"

"is it possible?"

Lin Chong was slightly stunned. "Excluding the large army that was lost and the 100,000 men stationed in Yunshan and Tongji City, he still has 200,000 men..."

"There are still 150,000 of our people in Yunzhou City. How dare he lead such a bold attack?"

Although Nangong Shouyi still has the advantage in terms of military strength at this moment, they can now mobilize nearly 100,000 people. This is no small-scale battle!

Gu Jingzhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, he won't let his guard down at this moment, but we just need to pretend that we are going to use Jin'an City as a springboard and unite with the defenders in Yunzhou City to attack from both sides!"

Lin Chong: “???”

What's the use?

Even though they have more than 200,000 people combined, the Yunzhou Army has been tightening its belt these days, and their combat effectiveness is probably less than half of what it used to be.

Nangong Shouyi currently has 300,000 people under his command.

Gu Jingzhi smiled and whispered a few words in his ear, and Lin Chong's eyes suddenly widened.

"Is this possible?"

"Don't worry, Lin Feng is still in Yunzhou City. As long as he's here, there will be no problem this time!"

Lin Chong thought of the letter he had just mentioned and hesitated, "But what if your letter can't be delivered?"

"That's fine!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled and said, "We didn't count on the Yunzhou army for this battle. As long as we operate properly, it won't be a problem to transfer the Beili army out of Yunzhou!"

"Besides, Qiao Zhen has been hiding this for so long, I'm afraid it can't be hidden any longer. Right now, we must eliminate the 300,000 troops under Nangong Shouyi's command before the 150,000 troops he dispatched return!"

Lin Chong: “…”

How dare you?

……

Yunzhou, Beili Army Camp.

On Nangong Shouyi's desk were three identical secret reports, which were intercepted from different directions in the early morning hours.

There was even a person who almost climbed up the city wall with secret information.

The secret report stated that Gu Jingzhi had already used a trick to capture Jin'an City and wanted to use Jin'an as a springboard. He wanted the Yunzhou Army to prepare during this period of time and then attack Nangong Shouyi from both sides. At the same time, he wanted Li Sheng and others to take the opportunity to escape.

He read the letter for the whole morning and kept doubting its authenticity.

Huyan Liancheng sat aside and did not dare to disturb him without permission.

After a while, Nangong Shouyi pointed at the secret report and asked, "How true do you think what's written there is?"

Huyan Liancheng shook his head. "It's hard to say. We'll have to wait until the spies return to find out! If Jin'an City is lost, then this information is most likely true!"

Nangong Shouyi lowered his eyelids when he heard this. "I've been thinking this is a bit strange. Gu Jingzhi is a cunning man. Information like this is confidential anyway. Isn't it a bit redundant for him to write three letters?"

"General, do you suspect there's a trick?"

"Ok!"

Nangong Shouyi nodded and said, "Although Gu Jingzhi is not good at leading troops, he has always been cunning and often has unexpected things!"

"hehe!"

Huyan Liancheng smiled and said, "General, I've asked the people at the school office. According to their habits, they often send out multiple copies of important intelligence to avoid loss of information!"

"This secret report may seem confidential, but the key lies in Jin'an. As long as Jin'an is lost, they won't be worried about whether we can know their plan. On the contrary, what they fear most is that Yunzhou doesn't know their plan. If that happens, their entire strategy will be lost!"

"So, I think this battle report is probably true, but I still have to wait for the spies to report back!"
