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

Chapter 100 I always feel like I’m going to explode with anger!

The next day.

South gate of Yunzhou City.

The formation was still the same as before, except that Nangong Shouyi's table was now placed in front of the army instead of behind it.

Gu Jingzhi arrived with the envoy's guards. Nangong Shouyi looked at Gu Jingzhi, whose face was flushed, and snorted coldly: "Master Gu, is he well now?"

"Oh! Forgive me, forgive me... General, you don't know this, but when I heard your order, I was so frightened that I rolled off the couch, and all my symptoms disappeared!"

Gu Jingzhi said with a shameless smile.

When Nangong Shouyi heard this, he knew in his heart that this guy was pretending to be sick just to disgust him.

He snorted inwardly and said expressionlessly, "Now that Lord Gu is safe, why not discuss the handover of the city?"

Gu Jingzhi nodded and said with a smile: "What are your orders, General?"

Nangong Shouyi narrowed his eyes slightly. "I know that Li Sheng's army has arrived in Yunzhou, but I have one rule. Before we withdraw from the city, no other troops of Li Sheng, except for his personal guards, are allowed to enter the city!"

When Gu Jing heard this, he immediately understood.

Nangong Shouyi was panicking because he had no food, but just as Beili did not trust Daxia, Gu Jingzhi also did not trust Beili.

He said, "General, please forgive me for being blunt. I've experienced your toughness before. Just because the army in Yunzhou City is out of food doesn't mean that other provinces are out of food!"

"If you, General, leave Yunzhou, and other prefectures become like Yunzhou, then what else can we do except watch helplessly?"

"Are you doubting my credibility?"

Nangong Shouyi's expression turned ugly.

Gu Jingzhi shrugged and said, "The general is in charge of the defense of ten states. It's unlikely that the Beili army will obey orders from Daxia, right?"

Nangong Shouyi's eyes flashed, and he asked coldly, "Then what do you want me to do?"

"General, you can issue orders to the other four states to hand over the provinces first, and Yunzhou last!"

Nangong Shouyi's expression changed: "How dare you take me as a hostage?"

Gu Jingzhi nodded: "Indeed!"

"Bastard!"

Huyan Liancheng said angrily, "How dare you, Great Xia An, go so far as to bully others?"

"Too much bullying?"

Gu Jingzhi said coldly: "Your Emperor Beili has already signed the letter of credence. The two countries have reached an agreement. Didn't you refuse to deliver it before?"

"You can't humiliate me like this!"

"I was merely imitating your Beili style. You were the first to break your promise. Now that Great Xia has an absolute advantage, do I still have to rely on you?"

"you……"

Huyan Liancheng was furious, but Nangong Shouyi held him back, then looked at Gu Jingzhi and said quietly:

"Master Gu, our army is out of food. If we delay here for too long, the soldiers will inevitably panic. If they do something they shouldn't do, it will be bad for both you and me!"

Gu Jingzhi said, "I have already considered this issue. Before the Beili army's food and fodder arrives at the border of Yunzhou, all of the Beili army's food supply will be temporarily provided by Daxia until the other provinces have completed the delivery!"

"..."

Nangong Shouyi felt annoyed when he heard this. He said with a cold face, "What if I don't agree?"

He felt very uneasy about entrusting the lifeline of food and grass to the Daxia army, but he had no other choice at the moment.

"The General will agree!"

Gu Jingzhi said with a smile: "At this early morning, my Great Xia Army has blocked all the main roads in and out of Yunzhou. Before the handover is completed, we have cut off the retreat route for you and the 150,000 troops behind you..."

"Snapped!"

Nangong Shouyi was filled with shock and anger. He slammed the table and stood up, saying, "Are you, Great Xia, planning to provoke a war between the two countries?"

Gu Jingzhi spread his hands and said, "General, we are only trying to ensure that the transaction can proceed smoothly. We have no intention of attacking Beili!"

"you……"

Now not only Huyan Liancheng, but also Nangong Shouyi himself was extremely angry. He pointed at Gu Jingzhi angrily, wishing he could chop him to death with a knife. However, Gu Jingzhi still had a smile on his face, as if he was sure that he would not dare to act rashly.

"Humph!"

Nangong Shouyi saw this and thought of the 150,000 troops behind him. He sat down dejectedly and thought for a moment. He said, "I hope Lord Gu will keep his word. Although our army is short of food, we still have the strength to fight..."

He looked at Gu Jingzhi coldly, with a threatening tone in his words.

Gu Jingzhi nodded and said, "Don't worry, General. The interests of our two countries' diplomatic relations come first, but our dynasty doesn't want to have any unpleasantness with Beili at this time. After all, the people of Daxia are peace-loving!"

"..."

Nangong Shouyi was choked by his words and was speechless. He was too lazy to engage in a war of words with him and said directly: "After the other four states are handed over, I wonder how Yunzhou City will be handed over?"

"Delivery within the city is too troublesome. You don't trust me, and I don't trust you..."

Gu Jingzhi looked into Nangong Shouyi's eyes and said, "Why don't our soldiers not enter the city before the handover is completed, and your soldiers shouldn't stay in the city either. Our two families are located in the south and the north, so our soldiers won't get jealous of each other!"

Nangong Shouyi thought it was a fair approach.

He said silently: "Just do as Master Gu said!"

Gu Jingzhi nodded, then seemed to think of something and reminded him, "However, there is one thing that the General should pay attention to. In addition to the five states, Zhao Zhongli, the former rebel general of the Yun Kingdom, and his subordinates should also be escorted back to Daxia. I also hope that the General will urge them to hurry up and not waste time. After all, food is not cheap now!"

"???"

Nangong Shouyi narrowed his eyes and asked, "What does Master Gu mean?"

Gu Jingzhi blinked and asked, "General, do you think that the food and fodder we supply to the Beili Army is free?"

"..."

Nangong Shouyi's mouth twitched, and he felt a surge of anger in his heart that he could not hold back.

Gu Jingzhi said, "General, this is an army of 150,000... at least half a month's worth of food. If I really give it to you Beili people for free, I'm afraid His Majesty will strip me of my official hat when I return!"

"If this state capital had been handed over a few days ago, these problems wouldn't have occurred. Even if our two countries were to form an alliance, there's no reason to ask our allies to help support the army, right?"

"Humph! Lord Gu is truly a master of schemes! First, under the guise of an alliance, he sneaked into our heartland and burned our army's food supplies. Now..."

"Hey hey hey... that's no fun!"

Upon hearing Huyan Liancheng's somewhat sarcastic words, Gu Jingzhi immediately said, "The alliance between our two countries will take effect after the transfer of territory. As long as the alliance has not taken effect, then we are no longer allies. It seems that it is okay for my Great Xia soldiers to burn your Beili grain and fodder, right?"

"you……"

"okay!"

Nangong Shouyi waved his hand: "It has come to this point. There is no point in arguing anymore. Let's talk business first..."
