Gu Nanxi was essentially asking Ada to go deep into enemy territory and fight guerrilla warfare.
This was a temporary decision made in response to changes in the battlefield situation.
Gu Nanxi knew that this task was extremely difficult and would be a great test for Ada.
But Li Aotian's steady and cautious approach, as well as the young emperor's trust and support for Li Aotian, forced Gu Nanxi to change his original plan.
If everything goes well, there is a high probability that Xuanzhen County will be occupied by ourselves.
Standing in front of him was the military settlement town, Suining County.
Not only are there Li Aotian's reinforcements here, but there is also Kong Wei from Henan County, with tens of thousands of people and no shortage of food and weapons. They are an extremely tough nut to crack.
Li Aotian will definitely use Suining County as the most important line of defense to firmly protect the provincial capital Jianping County and the commercial route Tongli County!
There is less than a month left until the New Year, and after the New Year it will be spring ploughing. If Guangde Prefecture cannot be captured before the New Year, Gu Nanxi can only suspend the offensive.
Ada is the backup plan laid by Gu Nanxi!
During the war, he was a feint attack force to attract Li Aotian's firepower!
In peacetime, he was a guerrilla soldier deep behind enemy lines!
Gu Nanxi: "Give all our best weapons and firearms to Ada."
"Yes, sir!" Old Man Geng and his companions not only gave Ada the best equipment, but also distributed most of the food and fodder to him.
Ada waved his hands and refused: "How can this be possible?! There are only 100 of us, and you have 200, and there are adults here too. There won't be enough food."
Old Man Geng glanced at Gu Nanxi, and seeing that she didn't stop him, he said impatiently, "I told you to answer it, so you answered it. You're so shy, it's not proper!"
These people silently helped to carry the gifts, and they wanted to fill Ada's bag full.
Old Man Geng: "Ada, work hard! When you complete the task, you will definitely be promoted. When that happens, I will give you a jar of the daughter's red wine that I have buried at home."
Ada grinned: "Can you decide? This girl's red wine is kept by Aunt Geng for her granddaughter to marry off in the future."
Old man Geng blew his beard and glared: "Don't you know who is in charge of the Geng family?!"
"Hehe, now that we've agreed, don't be reluctant!"
"One word of spit and one nail! Don't break your promise and come back safely!"
"Okay! Let's go!"
Ada and a hundred people disappeared at the end of the path.
They will make a big circle, sneak into Tongli County, and then make a noise to tell Li Aotian that they are coming!
Old Man Geng withdrew his worried gaze. This is what being a soldier is like. Even if the order they receive is a sure death, they will still move forward!
Gu Nanxi didn't say anything else. After a short rest, she led the two hundred soldiers on their journey in silence.
Baida Express has many outlets in Guangde Prefecture. After so many years of picking up and delivering goods, they are so familiar with the terrain of Guangde Prefecture that they would not get lost even with their eyes closed.
The map of Guangde Prefecture drawn by them personally is so detailed that it even shows the changes in water levels of every river and stream in the four seasons.
If the world had not entered a mini ice age this year, Gu Nanxi would have been able to quickly penetrate Guangde Prefecture through this map and carry out the blitzkrieg to the end!
Gu Nanxi referred to the map and led two hundred people to easily avoid various checkpoints and successfully arrived at Zhangshan before dark.
After arriving at Zhangshan, Gu Nanxi and others started to make the bamboo raft without even having time to catch their breath.
When it was completely dark, Gu Nanxi led his troops on a bamboo raft, crossed the Chijiang River, the largest river in Xuanzhen County, and entered Jiangxia Town.
This also means that Gu Nanxi and others have officially stepped into the territory of Xuanzhen County.
Jiangxia Town is a small town under Xuanzhen County, with a population of less than 500 households and surrounded by mountains and rivers.
The spy that Gu Nanxi sent to the town reported back: "Xuanzhen County has dispatched more than a hundred soldiers to Jiangxia Town. They have teamed up with local yamen runners to patrol the town in groups of ten, and they also occasionally check on people walking in the town."
The spy was almost caught by the patrol, but fortunately he was alert and slipped into a clothing store, pretending to be a customer.
For this purpose, he also bought a Taoist robe.
Old man Geng frowned and said, "Sir, what should we do? We don't have enough food and grass."
When the weather is cold, they can chop dead wood and make a fire.
There is not enough food and fodder, and it’s winter and we can’t hunt. What should we do?
Gu Nanxi's eyes were fixed on the Taoist robe brought back by the spy, and an idea popped into his mind!
…
The county seat of Xuanzhen County.
Li Shaoyan had received the news that Gu Nanxi had left Anwu County, so he urged his subordinates to strengthen patrols and vigilance.
Late at night, the clouds and the moon disappear, and the courtyard is utterly silent. Only the faint lights shine through the windows, contrasting with the numerous stars in the sky. The sky and the earth are the same color, and it is difficult to distinguish them.
Li Shaoyan sat at the desk and opened the letter from his father. The letter asked whether he had found any trace of Gu Nanxi and whether he was prepared to deal with it.
At the end of the letter, Li Aotian repeatedly reminded everyone to be careful, be careful and be careful! If they encounter difficulties, they must seek help in time.
Li Shaoyan closed the letter and recalled his arrangements in his mind. He made sure that he had laid a tight net and was waiting for Gu Nanxi to take the bait. Then he let out a long breath.
He is no longer the Amon of the past. All the suffering and reproaches he endured in the past have fallen from the high clouds to the mud overnight.
None of these brought me down, but instead became the motivation for me to constantly break through myself!
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
Li Shaoyan was very confident in his arrangements. He was certain that as long as Gu Nanxi entered the ambush circle, he would never be able to escape, let alone capture Xuanzhen County!
When Li Shaoyan thought about the fact that he could stop Duke Yun and even capture him, he trembled with excitement.
He will step on Yun Guogong Gu Nanxi, become famous throughout the world, and climb to the top of the snow-capped mountain!
However, after waiting for three or four days, there was still no sign of Gu Nanxi, and Li Shaoyan became anxious.
"Are you sure you didn't see Gu Nanxi? Hundreds of people left Anwu County and disappeared like they disappeared from the human world. Does this make sense?!"
The other officers and soldiers swore, "General, we are definitely not lazy. We really didn't see Duke Yun!"
Li Shaoyan laughed angrily: "Could it be that they all have wings and can fly? Even if they can fly, they will be seen by others!"
"Is it possible that she has returned to Anwu County?"
Li Shaoyan said firmly: "Impossible!"
"Maybe, she doesn't plan to attack our Xuanzhen County?"
Li Shaoyan: "As long as she wants to attack Guangde Prefecture, she must pass through our Xuanzhen County!"
Most of Anwu County borders Xuanzhen County, and a small part of it is separated from Suining County by Meishan Mountain, which is steep and covered with snow.
Li Shaoyan believed that unless Gu Nanxi was crazy, there was no way she would cross Meishan and attack Suining County.
So, here comes the question again.
Where did Gu Nanxi and her hundreds of subordinates go? (End of this chapter)
