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

Chapter 102: Gu Jingzhi is the sword, slaying all the noble families...

Li Sheng's mind went blank.

Not letting you eat enough...

Wow, this is scheming everywhere!

If they simply don't give them any food, Beili will inevitably let their soldiers rob the food. But if they are given food but not allowed to eat too much, they will have no reason to rob the food.

Moreover, if the situation drags on for a period of time, the combat effectiveness of the Beili soldiers who are lacking in physical strength will drop sharply, and at that time they will have no choice but to compromise.

Yunzhou has been blocked, and it is not easy for food from outside to come in. Even if it comes in, they have the final say on how much to give.

As for whether there will be food looting incidents, there will definitely be.

However, with Nangong Shouyi's wisdom, it is naturally impossible for such things to happen on a large scale. Even if they rob people, they will only rob some wealthy businessmen, and it will not affect the people of Yunzhou as a whole.

After figuring this out, Li Sheng said, "Then let's do as you say. As soon as Nangong Shouyi's transfer documents arrive, I'll send someone to take over the four states!"

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, General!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled slightly.

……

Nangong Shouyi, who was frustrated, did not use any delaying tactics this time. After all, he really could not afford to delay.

That afternoon, the change of defense documents from the other five states were brought to Gu Jingzhi's delegation. After checking and finding that there were no problems, Li Sheng personally appointed the generals and asked them to lead their troops to carry out the handover.

How the troops on this border are deployed is not something Gu Jingzhi can interfere with.

Although he occasionally had many clever strategies, he was still far from knowing how to command a large army or even how to defend the border.

As long as the handover of Yunzhou is completed, his mission will be accomplished.

The most important thing for him right now is to write a report to Emperor Xia. After all, he is using the grain and grass of Da Xia to feed the Beili Army. Although the purpose is for the handover of states and territories, and he has to collect money, if he does not write a report back to the capital, he is afraid that Emperor Xia will think too much.

After spending a lot of time and effort, he wrote down everything that happened here in the report, and then called Liu Sandao.

Looking at the thick report in Gu Jingzhi's hand, Liu Sandao naturally understood what was going on.

"Brother Liu, we'll have to trouble you to go to the capital!"

"Don't worry, sir. I will present this petition to His Majesty as quickly as possible!"

"it is good!"

Gu Jingzhi handed him the report.

Originally, the delegation's report should have followed normal procedures and been submitted to the relevant government offices. However, with Song Pu as an obstacle, Gu Jingzhi did not want to create any complications, so he planned to go directly through the Internal Guard.

When Liu Sandao's brothers sent reports to the capital, the internal guards naturally took over.

As long as it is delivered to the internal guards, this report can be quickly delivered to Emperor Xia.

After Liu Sandao left, Gu Jingzhi felt relieved. All he had to do now was wait for Baili Gongshu to come.

For an alliance, the Prime Minister of Beili came to see him twice in a row. If he knew that he would be plotted against by Gu Jingzhi again this time, he would probably regret coming in person.

……

Time flies by.

The court of Great Xia seemed relatively calm these days. It seemed that without Gu Jingzhi around, Song Pu felt much more at ease, and he had fewer confrontations with Emperor Xia in the court.

Emperor Xia was somewhat helpless. Without Gu Jingzhi by his side, he was much busier.

Just then, Emperor Xia was dealing with memorials in the imperial study and was feeling a little annoyed when Tianshu suddenly walked over.

"Your Majesty, Master Gu has a report to report to the capital!"

"Oh?"

Emperor Xia put down the memorial in his hand, rubbed his eyes slightly, and said, "He has been away from the capital for half a month, and he only just found out about the memorial now. I guess there must be something big going on!"

"..."

Tianshu heard this and complained slightly in his heart.

Since Gu Jingzhi went on the diplomatic mission, he has done only a few things, but no matter which one it was, it was scary enough.

Not to mention anything else, just letting the mission guards leave the camp and directly burn the food and fodder of the Beili army of more than 100,000 is a big deal. If not handled properly, it may cause chaos on the border.

When Emperor Xia found out, he was very angry.

But after hearing about this, Nangong Shouyi actually took the initiative to negotiate the handover matters with the Daxia delegation, and Emperor Xia finally calmed down.

Gu Jingzhi wrote a memorial to the capital at this time, which seems to indicate that the matter has already come to a conclusion!

Tianshu handed over the report, and Emperor Xia took it and started reading it.

Compared with the boring memorials from the officials in the court, he still felt that Gu Jingzhi's memorial would be more interesting.

However, not long after reading the report, he suddenly became silent!

Frankly speaking, Gu Jingzhi used the food and fodder of the Daxia border army to relieve the urgent need of the Beili army... This was a taboo. No matter what his purpose was, he could not escape the label of reselling food.

However, if it is for the purpose of planning Yuzhou, it is not impossible.

Using a small amount of food every day to hold back Nangong Shouyi's army can, on the one hand, protect the people of Yunzhou, and on the other hand, gradually weaken Beili's combat effectiveness, and finally, it will definitely be possible to trick Beili again.

Although the method is not bright at all, the effect is good!

Of course, Emperor Xia even thought about taking advantage of the weakness of the Beili army and destroying Nangong Shouyi's 150,000-strong army.

But after thinking about it, he still shook his head.

Beili still needs Nangong Shouyi. If he is dealt with by Daxia, it will inevitably cause internal turmoil in Beili, and Li Yue will be the one who benefits.

With Nangong Shouyi around, Beili might still have enough confidence, but if Nangong Shouyi is gone, chaos will probably arise in the Beili court.

In comparison, Emperor Xia still agreed with Gu Jingzhi's statement that the neighbor Beili was like a tiger with almost all its teeth falling out, while the small country of Liyue was more like a vicious wolf with full of wolfish nature.

At present, the border troops of Daxia need to be reorganized, and are not yet strong enough to leave the city and fight them in the field.

After quickly reading Gu Jingzhi's report, Emperor Xia wrote the word "approved" in red ink and put the report aside.

Now that the overall situation is still undecided, it is not the right time to present this memorial to the ministers. Otherwise, I am afraid that Song Pu and others will hold on to it again in the court.

Let him finish his work first!

Emperor Xia sighed softly.

He was particularly dissatisfied with the situation in the court. Although officials from Song Pu's faction suffered losses in the recent negotiations and their reputation was greatly damaged, and they even failed to get a place in the northern provincial capital, their influence was still there.

If Gu Jingzhi can take back Yuzhou this time, it will indirectly undermine the prestige of Song Pu's faction.

It has been a long time since Gu Jingzhi proposed the plan to depose the prime minister. If the situation in the north had not changed, he would have already started to clean up Song Pu's foundation.

The Hanlin Academy's overseas assignment did remind him of this.

Daxia has been established for twenty years, and its talent pool is still relatively abundant. As long as the pace is slowed down a bit and the talent pool is weakened bit by bit, it will not damage Daxia's foundation.

Let’s wait until Gu Jingzhi’s knife returns to Beijing before we talk about anything else!

I think the court will be lively from now on.
