Chapter 97: At the border of the Great Xia army, the Beili commander went crazy...
Time turned to the third day.
In the past three days, people from Beili came every day, but Gu Jingzhi was nowhere to be seen as usual.
But as time passed, he felt anxious.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Chong and the others should have come back, but it has been the third day and there is still no sign of them.
Although it seems that Beili has not received the news of the attack on Xiling, Gu Jingzhi will not be at peace as long as the person has not returned.
"I hope nothing else happened!"
Gu Jingzhi sat silently in the tent, while An Ning walked back and forth restlessly!
"Sir, it's been half a day since the scheduled time, and they haven't returned yet. If this continues, the Beili army will sooner or later notice something is wrong!"
Gu Jingzhi glanced at him and said, "Nangong Shouyi hasn't received any news yet, but at least it means Chang An and the others are fine!"
If something happened to Chang'an and the others, I'm afraid Beili would have come to hold them accountable long ago. Although they have no news about Lin Chong and the others now, Beili has not received any news either.
Although I don’t know how they did, at least it shows that Chang An and the others are indeed fine.
"But sir, this news will be revealed sooner or later!"
"???"
Gu Jingzhi was stunned: "Master An, who told you that I would hide this information?"
"what?"
An Ning was stunned and looked at him stupidly.
Gu Jingzhi said, "We concealed the news before we set out in order to achieve our mission. Now that several days have passed, what's the point in keeping it a secret?"
While the two were talking, someone suddenly came from outside the tent and reported, "Sir, Captain Chang and his men are back!"
"came back?"
Gu Jing was taken aback for a moment, then he dashed out of the tent, leaving An Ning stunned. Didn’t she say she wasn’t in a hurry?
When Gu Jingzhi left the tent, he saw Chang An and his men returning with their troops. Seeing Gu Jingzhi, Chang An said happily, "Sir, we have fulfilled our mission. The grain and fodder of the Yunzhou army of over 100,000 soldiers were burned by our brothers! Not only that, we also ambushed the Beili grain transport team, and they also burned it!"
Gu Jing was stunned: "Beili Grain Transport Team?"
"Yes, sir!"
Liu Sandao wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "No one would have thought that there would be a grain transport team from Beili to supply food and fodder to Xiling City!"
"Beili is still transporting food?"
Gu Jingzhi was startled, and then he murmured, "Fortunately, fortunately..."
Fortunately, it was discovered, otherwise this raid on the enemy's food camp would be meaningless. After all, the stockpiled food was burned and new food arrived. This would not only fail to threaten Nangong Shouyi, but might even annoy them.
Gu Jingzhi looked relieved, then looked at the three of them and asked, "How are you guys? Are you all right?"
When the three heard his question, they were silent for a moment. Chang An whispered, "Three hundred brothers were killed in action, and three hundred and twenty were wounded, both lightly and seriously..."
Gu Jingzhi was silent after hearing this. He said, "Have you brought all the brothers back?"
"Ok!"
Chang An nodded and said in a heavy tone: "Most of the brothers were killed or wounded when we ambushed the Beili grain transport team later..."
"The wounded brothers, let the medical officers treat them well. The fallen brothers..."
"The ashes of those brothers have been brought back!"
Chang An said silently: "It is inconvenient for the army to march outside, so I order the remains of our brothers to be burned!"
Gu Jingzhi patted his shoulder and said, "Brothers, go down and rest. I will go to visit the injured brothers later!"
"Then I will take the brothers back to the camp first!"
"Ok!"
Gu Jingzhi nodded and looked at Lin Chong and Liu Sandao: "Has the news spread?"
Liu Sandao said, "Don't worry, sir. After burning the Beili grain, I sent someone to Beichuan Prefecture to deliver the message. I think General Li has already received the news by now!"
"it is good!"
Gu Jingzhi said silently: "You guys should go down and rest too..."
……
Yunzhou City.
Nangong Shouyi and his deputy general Huyan Liancheng were chatting when suddenly someone hurried in from outside the door.
"Report!"
Nangong Shouyi frowned and looked outside the door: "What's the matter?"
"General, the Beichuan Prefecture of Great Xia has suddenly mobilized 100,000 border troops and is advancing a hundred miles towards our border! At the same time, the troops from Yanzhou have also broken camp and are heading towards Yuzhou!"
"what?"
Nangong Shouyi was stunned, then suddenly became furious and asked, "How is this possible? I have 150,000 troops stationed in Yunzhou. Are the Great Xia Army here to seek death? Who is leading the troops?"
"General, we dare not get too close, but they are flying the battle flag with the word 'Li' on it."
"The Li character flag?"
Nangong Shouyi was furious: "What is Li Sheng going to do?"
Huyan Liancheng also frowned and looked at the messenger: "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong? There are also Great Xia troops in Yuzhou?"
"General, this is absolutely true, there is no mistake!"
Nangong Shouyi and Huyan Liancheng looked at each other, then hurried to the map and looked towards Yuzhou.
"Strange! What's Li Sheng's purpose in suddenly ordering his Yanzhou army to advance northward?"
Nangong Shouyi was somewhat puzzled and whispered, "If the Great Xia border troops stationed in Beichuan Prefecture were heading north because of the diplomatic mission, why would they advance directly to Yuzhou?"
"Are they going to attack Yuzhou?" Huyan Liancheng asked.
Nangong Shouyi immediately shook his head: "The dangers of Yuguan are definitely not something the Yanzhou army can break through. If we attack Yuzhou, Li Sheng will definitely not send only the troops from Yanzhou!"
"That……"
Huyan Liancheng wanted to ask what Daxia's purpose was, but when he saw Nangong Shouyi staring at the map in deep thought, he immediately shut up obediently.
A good while.
Nangong Shouyi shook his head. He thought about it over and over again but still couldn't figure it out.
"Could it be that Li Sheng's trip north this time is not to promote the alliance between the two countries, but has other purposes?"
Huyan Liancheng frowned upon hearing this and asked, "But what's their purpose in doing this? Whether it's Yuzhou or Yunzhou, their troops aren't strong enough to accomplish anything. Could it be that Li Sheng is just taking his troops out for a stroll?"
Nangong Shouyi was not amused by Huyan Liancheng's words. Instead, his expression became more serious: "Li Sheng is also a famous general in the world. He would never raise an army casually."
He looked carefully at the border map between Beili and Daxia, as if he wanted to find some clues from it, but after looking at it several times, he found that he could not see any clues at all.
Yunzhou and Yuzhou are thousands of miles apart, with Yongzhou and Yizhou in between. No matter how you look at it, there is no connection between these two groups of people.
The two of them thought about it over and over again, their heads aching, but they still couldn't figure out Li Sheng's intention.
But at this moment, someone outside shouted again.
"Report!"
Nangong Shouyi's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Have you discovered any other deployments of the Daxia border troops?"
The messenger was bewildered. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "General, Xiling City has reported that at 1:00 AM yesterday, a Daxia army tricked the city gates into opening, burned all of our army's food supplies, and ambushed our grain transport team..."
"what?"
Nangong Shouyi's heart was pounding.
