Year of Famine: Hunting in the Mountains with My Little Wife, a Granary Full of Meat

Liu Feng, a Mercenary, transmigrated into a Turbulent Times filled with wars on all sides.

The world was in chaos, wars raged endlessly, the Imperial Court was weak, and powerful local rulers we...

Chapter 163 A surprising plan

"If I were the Northern Barbarian General, what I would do is to surround Tianyong City without attacking it, thus creating oppression."

"Then send capable men to intercept the food supplies along the way."

"If there is no food, the morale of the Fengling Army will be hit."

"Then we can launch a psychological warfare campaign, letting our spies stir up the crisis among the people in the city. This way, we can defeat the enemy without fighting."

"Report..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a shout was heard outside.

"General, news from Tianyong City."

"This morning, the northern barbarians piled up corpses under Tianyong City."

"These are all the bodies of ordinary people from Dali. It's a horrible sight."

"The people of Tianyong City are in a state of panic right now."

As soon as Liu Feng finished speaking, it was verified.

"These beasts."

"They looted supplies, killed people and set fire to things, and even left the bodies untouched."

"At this time, the only way to save people's hearts is to retrieve the body. However, the Northern Barbarians are using the body as bait, waiting for us to take the bait. Going out to retrieve the body will inevitably be full of dangers."

Linghu Yuanshan angrily slammed the table in anxiety.

"Exactly. In this situation, if the food and supplies are robbed."

"If the city runs out of food, it won't last more than three days before something bad happens."

Linghu Chongshan was also worried.

"Didn't they say that the imperial court's reinforcements were about to arrive?"

When Liu Feng saw the two of them so anxious, he immediately felt something was unusual.

The two of them had a lot of grievances to share.

The imperial court sent 10,000 troops as backup, but these 10,000 troops were also their biggest concern.

Because the general leading the army was a notorious playboy.

Due to their limited identities, they did not say it explicitly.

"If such a boastful young man could lead the army and reach Tianyong City on schedule, the sun would be rising in the west."

"This whole trip is just for fun. A delay of three to five months is a courtesy."

Since both of them knew about this matter, it meant that Linghu Xiaoshan also knew it all.

However, Linghu Xiaoshan had to consider the army and stabilize the morale, so few people knew about it.

So why did the emperor send such an unreliable leader to rescue?

Isn’t the Fengling Army the emperor’s personal army?

Could there be something else fishy going on here?

"In other words, it's not just the Northern Barbarians who are eyeing the food supplies, and the existence of reinforcements is almost non-existent?"

"How many people are in the grain transport team?"

Liu Feng thought for a moment and asked the most crucial question.

“Usually it’s a team of a thousand people.”

"However, every time food and supplies are about to arrive, a large army of around a thousand people will leave the city to meet them."

Linghu Yuanshan replied.

Liu Feng nodded and thought for a while.

"You can send the letter to Fengling Army now."

"Can."

Linghu Yuanshan answered immediately.

"Although Tianyong City is currently filled with spies from the Northern Barbarians, the city gates have not been closed, and the people are passing through normally."

"The grain transport team will pass through the official road outside our Xinhe Ferry."

"Yes, that's the road."

"Okay, here's the chance."

"Listen to me, go to Fengling Army and deliver the letter now, and we'll put on a good show."

"Please bring the Dragon Sniper's seal along the way so that we can hand it over to the grain transport team."

Liu Feng took a pen and paper and wrote down his thoughts.

"Remember, when the food and fodder arrive, the entire army must march out of the city to demonstrate our determination to win."

"If you encounter an attack from the Northern Barbarian army, abandon your food and fodder and return to the city quickly."

Liu Feng analyzed the situation thoroughly and eloquently, and also provided response strategies for various possible situations, arranging everything properly.

Write it down at the end.

"Please trust me, Liu Fengbi."

"What?"

"The whole army is leaving the city?"

"If the Northern Barbarians had deployed their forces properly and surrounded us from three sides, the Fengling Army would have been completely destroyed."

"Isn't it too risky?"

The Linghu brothers were a little worried.

"How can you trap a wolf without sacrificing your child?"

Liu Feng chuckled, put the letter away and handed it to Linghu Yuanshan.

"Zhai Shanchuan, take your people to Wenhuang County now and gather anything that can start a fire, even old clothes will do. Also, bring utensils for making fire and cooking. Take as many as you can."

"Also, bring all these used items from the homes of the people in Liangshui County. They don't need them anyway, so help me avenge them."

"Wang Dingliu, take your people back to the village quickly and tell my wife to bring all the fodder and other supplies."

"Linghu Yuanshan, you and Liu Lang, take your troops and rush to the vicinity of Tianyong City now. Remember, eliminate all their spies and eyes. But remember, only eliminate them once a day, and don't stop for a day."

"You have to make sure they get the news, but the news they get is fragmented."

The two brothers of the Linghu family seemed to understand after hearing this.

"General, are you trying to use a strategy of confusing the enemy?"

"Not exactly."

Liu Feng smiled mysteriously.

"Since the Beiman are wasting time, waiting for the moment when Tianyong City will be in chaos, then this time, we will give them a heavy blow."

"I can't say we'll completely wipe them out. They're an army of 50,000 after all, but I can still give them a stab in the heart."

"Boss, that's an army of 50,000. We only have 1,000 people. How can we inflict heavy damage on them?"

"Even if we hit them, it won't hurt them."

Chen Buyi asked with some doubt.

Wang Dingliu snorted coldly. This kid is still talking.

"That's because you don't understand our boss's abilities."
