When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 287 285 Preparing to Steal Food
Gu Hua pondered for a while and said, "If I guess correctly, since my sudden request to borrow troops was rejected this time, anyone can predict that I will not send food here again."

"Since everyone can think of it, it is impossible for General Xue not to think of it. Do you think he knows that I will not be able to send food here in the future? What will he do while he has the food?"

Everyone was stunned, and then they all looked enlightened.

Dao Luo: "Knowing that there is no follow-up food supply from Lady Lady, he just doesn't want the army to fall into chaos after the food is consumed.

Xue Changhui will take advantage of the abundant food and grass now to attack the capital as soon as possible and realize his ambitions. "

One of the generals was angry and exclaimed: "So he will let the Northern Rong Army in in the near future and bring them to harm the people along the city of Daxuan. Those people are very barbaric, and we don't know how many people they will harm by then."

Everyone's face darkened in silence.

They would have accepted it if they were unable to defeat foreigners who invaded their country, but what about the people who were allowed in by their own people to harm their country?

"I will gather my own people now and kill that bastard Xue Changhui. We can't let outsiders in to harm the people."

Dao Luo grabbed the general who was angry and wanted to kill General Xue, and said in a deep voice: "Sit down."

The general stubbornly raised his head and choked up, "General Daolang, I..."

Gu Hua said calmly: "General, please be patient and sit down."

Dao Luo forced the man to sit down, and everyone turned their eyes to Gu Hua. A woman who could lead troops to occupy half of the territory south of the Yangtze River in Daxuan, even if they were men, as long as they were not chauvinistic, they would respect her in their hearts.

Gu Hua was not arrogant at all and remained calm: "General Xue is the commander here. It is easy for him to win people over. Otherwise, you wouldn't be the ones that Dao Luo trusted and invited to discuss this matter today."

Everyone lowered their eyes, it was indeed so.

The merit of following the emperor is enough to make one a marquis or a prime minister. Who among those who have ambitions can resist such temptation?

Therefore, they had long realized that many generals who had once been on friendly terms with them had been secretly lured by General Xue to join him.

At this time, they gathered their troops and clashed with General Xue. In addition to being accused of disrupting military discipline and deprived of their military power, they might not even be able to get close to General Xue Changhui's tent.

It was absurd to think of killing him suddenly. Since his official position was higher than theirs, his martial arts must be no weaker than theirs. Moreover, as a great general, Xue Changhui was always followed by military guards. If they made any move, it was hard to tell who would be the one to die.

"What should we do? Are we just going to watch him let the Northern Rong troops in and harm the people of Daxuan?"

"The northern barbarians are savage and ferocious. No one can escape unscathed under their iron cavalry."

Gu Hua looked at everyone's gloomy faces and had no idea of ​​shackles on Xue Changhui, the third-rank general guarding the northern border.

She also thought about taking care of Xue Changhui, the traitorous general from Saibei, herself.

However, the ambitions of other generals in the northern border have been aroused by Xue Changhui. Even if he dies, someone will still contact the northern Rong people and continue what he wants to do.

If that's the case, we might as well find a way to get rid of them all at once.

"Tell me, if the entire Saibei Army has no food to eat, how many people will still loyally follow General Xue to fight for him while starving?"

Dao Luo and others were all stunned when they heard Hua's question.

If that were the case, who would be so hungry as to fight for others? A general said pragmatically: "Except for those of us who have been raised by the royal palace since childhood, there is also Xue Changhui, the bastard who has the heart to betray his master.

For a general like this who defected to Xue Changhui for his own wealth and power, I'm afraid no one, whether general or soldier, would be willing to work for him on an empty stomach."

"Oh." Gu Hua curled his lips and smiled, "If that's the case, then it's easy to deal with."

When everyone saw the smile on Gu Hua's lips, they knew that he might have figured out a way to solve the problem of the northern general colluding with foreign tribes.

Gu Hua tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Everyone saw that General Xue accepted a batch of food and supplies that I sent not long ago.

If the army suddenly ran out of food, would the soldiers think that there was really no food in the barracks, or would they think that someone had embezzled the food?

Everyone's frowns softened, and Dao Luo smiled for the first time that night. "If that's the case, even if those soldiers start making trouble, Xue Changhui will be in big trouble."

If that time really comes, I'm afraid General Xue will not bother to collude with Beirong. He will want to take advantage of the fact that several forces in the south are gathering to target Gu Hua's territory and seize the opportunity to capture the imperial city, seize the initiative, and sit in that position.

Instead, he was busy ensuring the army's food and clothing and calming their morale, which was enough to keep him busy.

Dao Luo frowned and said, "But how can we transfer so much food so that we can cut off Xue Changhui's firewood?"

Gu Hua looked at everyone's face and saw that they were getting worse again. He said calmly, "I'll take care of this matter."

Everyone looked at Gu Hua in confusion, asking her how she could transfer so much food overnight.

Gu Hua just smiled and didn't answer.

The others were also very discerning and did not ask any further questions.

Even if someone wanted to ask, they were held down by the people around them. Since Gu Hua proposed that she should solve the matter, they just had to wait and see. They believed that a woman who could become a local overlord would not speak wildly easily.

As for how the grain was transferred away, perhaps it was someone else's secret means and power. Since Gu Hua was unwilling to say it clearly, it was better for them not to ask.

Gu Hua stood up and looked at everyone before leaving. Finally, he asked, "When the army runs out of food and the soldiers are starving, do you know what to do?"

Dao Luo raised his eyebrows, of course he understood what Gu Hua meant by asking, and said with a sly smile: "The soldiers are hungry, of course we have to take them to ask the general for food. He should do his job and he should take care of the soldiers who have nothing to eat."

"That's right." Gu Hua gave him a thumbs up. "If the soldiers have problems, they should ask their leaders to solve them. You generals should take them to higher-level leaders to solve them. Otherwise, the army will be in chaos."

Watching Gu Hua walk out the door and quickly disappear into the night.

Seven or eight generals stood in the courtyard and watched her leave. One of them said, "I didn't expect that as a local overlord, this guy is not only intelligent and resourceful, but also not arrogant and contemptuous of others. After a night of discussion, he is still so approachable."

Another general curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Do you think everyone wants to be like Xue Changhui, who acted like a villain after the prince left.

Not only does he want to seize our military power, he also looks at us with a squinting eye, as if we can only have a future if we follow him."

In the courtyard, everyone chatted for a while and then dispersed.

Gu Hua quickly followed the route provided by Dao Luo to find the army's granary, avoided the patrolling soldiers, carefully pried open the heavy closed door, and quietly slipped in...

He came out soon after, and then took a tour of the small warehouses where food was stored in the logistics kitchens of all the camps in the Saibei Army. Then, someone hid his merits and fame, and quietly left the city.
