Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

"We haven't found it yet, but from Yongzhou to Huaizhou, we have to pass through two valleys and a jungle. It is very likely that Ava has set up an ambush there."

Waiting to catch them in the jar.

Gu Xingyan frowned slightly, thinking about his next strategy.

The military secrets have been leaked, and it is absolutely impossible to capture Huaizhou City.

But is it possible that we should just stay in Yongzhou City?

Are we waiting for Zhao's food and supplies to arrive before attacking them?

You must not sit still and wait for death!

Just as Gu Xingyan was about to give the order, Jia Cheng arrived: "Master, we found out that Liu Da, who was in charge of pouring the night incense, is missing."

Jin Haijiang's face changed, and he knelt down with a plop: "General, I remember now. When we came out of your tent this afternoon, I accidentally let it slip. At that time, I saw a night incense seller sneaking by there."

Jin Haijiang drew out his knife and put it on his own neck: "I am guilty and I am willing to die to atone for my crime."

He closed his eyes, held the knife across his throat and was about to cut his throat, but Gu Xingyan pushed him away with a palm: "I will investigate the mistakes you made after the war is over."

"Marshal, what should we do now?" Ma Jingwei asked anxiously. Thinking that the marshal had just entered the military camp, he turned to look at General Liang.

General Liang and the others looked very unhappy. This was a big taboo for a general.

If we win this battle, it will be fine. If we lose...

After all, Jin Haijiang is still too young, and he is a general who has just been promoted and lacks experience.

General Liang turned to Gu Xingyan and said, "General, among the 400,000 troops of Zhao State, 100,000 are cavalry. They are already known for their bravery. Under the command of the great general Wang Awa, their combat capability is doubled."

He paused for a moment and continued, "So, I suggest that we guard Yongzhou City now to prevent the Ava army from rushing towards us. Strengthen the city walls, gather all the archers in the city and gather them on the city walls. Then send out spies to find out the movements of the Ava army."

Jin Haijiang knelt on the ground, regretting his actions to death, and slapped himself hard several times.

He was actually questioning Miss Shu just now. He is really a piece of shit.

The other people also looked at Li Shuangwan with guilt. No one dared to imagine what the consequences would have been if Miss Li had not been alert.

Li Shuangwan just nodded slightly, indicating that there was no need to worry about it.

The others also nodded.

Wu Peikun sighed deeply: "Marshal, I will escort the people out of the city. If they don't leave this time, I will kidnap them too!"

After that, he turned around and left.

"Come back!" Gu Xingyan shouted.

Wu Peikun paused.

Ma Jingwei glanced at him and said, "General, I will arrange for people to reinforce the city walls and prepare more stones and rolling logs. If the Ava army wants to break in, they will have to step over our dead bodies! We will never let them have the chance to hurt the people of Daliang again."

"That's right! If they dare to break in, they will have to step over our dead bodies!"

Gu Xingyan swept his sharp eyes over the crowd: "Generals, have you already admitted defeat before the battle even started? You are only emboldening others and destroying your own prestige. You are all great generals, how can you be afraid before the battle knowing that you are destined to lose!"

No one dared to speak.

Li Shuangwan looked at the man. She knew that he had his own ideas and would never sit still and wait for death.

Sure enough, Gu Xingyan said: "The best defense is offense. Since Ava already knows our battle plan, then..."

Gu Xingyan glanced at the army that had assembled in the distance and drew a line with his finger on the map that Mo Lin was holding in front of him.

"Morale is all about the first push, the second push will weaken, and the third push will be exhausted. The military order has been issued, there is no reason to go back to bed. Pass on my order, take Rangcheng from here!"

Gu Xingyan tapped on the map.

Everyone was stunned: "Attack Rangcheng?"

Li Shuangwan shouted "good" for Gu Xingyan in her heart.

This can also be considered a tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.

Moreover, if Ava did not see them attacking after waiting for a few hours, he would lead his army to attack Yongzhou.

Yongzhou just happened to give him a chance to play the empty city plan!

This also bought time for breaking into Rangcheng.

What a good plan!

"That's right. Rangcheng is also my Daliang's land. I will not give up an inch of my Daliang's territory! The people of Rangcheng are also my Daliang's relatives."

"My relatives were killed, and 100,000 soldiers were buried. The body of General Tang Shi is still hanging on the city gate. The hatred of killing relatives is irreconcilable, and I will punish him even if he is far away!"

Gu Xingyan glanced deeply at everyone present, and saw that everyone's face was filled with indignation.

That’s right, one hundred thousand soldiers are buried here, and the body of old General Tang Shi is still swaying in the cold wind. What qualifications do they have to be sad here!

They want revenge!

People don't offend me, I don't offend people.

If anyone offends me, I will punish him even though he is far away!

Gu Xingyan shouted: "Commen, do you have confidence?"

"Have!"

"louder please!"

“Yes!!!” the voice soared into the sky.

The assembled army looked in their direction.

Several people were so excited by what they heard.

Although Rangcheng, Huaizhou and Yongzhou form a triangle shape, it is still nearly sixty miles away. Even if you march quickly, it will take three hours to get there.

But, we must take over Rangcheng!

The dispatch of 300,000 troops would easily attract attention, so we must be careful to eliminate all possible spies from the Zhao State along the way.

"Very good, the battle plan remains unchanged, and the location is changed to Rangcheng. Pass on my military order, everyone bring a day's worth of dry food, and the army will set out in a quarter of an hour!"

"Yes!"

"General Wu, please stay first."

Although Wu Peikun was confused, he responded yes as military orders were as firm as a mountain.

After everyone left, Gu Xingyan asked Jia Cheng beside him: "How long has Liang Tianyou been away?"

"My Lord, it has been two hours."

Gu Xingyan nodded. If nothing unexpected happened, Liang Tianyou should have already encountered Zhaoguo’s grain transport team.

Although the soldiers transporting food and fodder were not elite soldiers, their martial arts skills were definitely not weak.

For an army of 400,000, at least one month's worth of food must be prepared.

Gu Xingyan estimated in his mind that the grain transport army should be around 1,500 people.

Moreover, the King of Zhao is determined to make a desperate move this time, and 400,000 troops should be all the fighting power that Zhao can muster.

Apart from their capital, there shouldn't be many troops left in other places.

He sent three thousand men to Liang Tianyou, which was enough.

Once the food and grass are burned, it won't take long for Ava to get the news.

In addition, they were fully prepared at the moment, but in the end they did not wait for the Daliang army to attack Huaizhou.

By tomorrow morning, the army will realize that there is no hope of food and will starve.

The entire army may be in panic, but it is more likely to be angry.

Except for the 50,000 troops left behind in Rangcheng, Ava will take advantage of the anger of the remaining 350,000 troops and attack Yongzhou with all his strength.

But even if he attacked Yongzhou, he would only get an empty city. He couldn't possibly lead 400,000 people to the next city.

The next city was not as rich as Rangcheng and Huaizhou, but was also hundreds of miles away, and the army's morale could not sustain them getting there.

"General Wu, you must ensure that all the people in Yongzhou City are evacuated before midnight. No matter what method you use, I demand that an empty city be left for Ava!"
