Chapter 455 Unwilling to Cooperate
The refugees rushed into the granary to grab food, fearing that they would get nothing if they were too late.
What they didn't know was that the entire Chenzhou administration was paralyzed at this time and was unable to organize personnel to go to the granary in time to prevent the situation from worsening.
From the moment the plan was made, Shengze had never considered the administrative system sent by King Zhao. Except for Ling Yun who was in charge of the granary, everyone else was scattered in the Chenzhou government office, garrisons, warehouses and other places to implement the plan.
As long as these leading administrative departments are in chaos, the granary near the dock will not be able to stop the loss in time. If it drags on long enough, King Zhao's army on the Lanjiang River may have to starve for a few days.
After all this was done, Sheng Ze and the others reunited. Ling Yun still urged them to go to Linzhou, but Sheng Ze said, "Prince Zhao may not be in Linzhou. Now that their granary in Chenzhou has been robbed, they will definitely transport grain from other prefectures. We just need to set up an ambush at the place they must pass through."
Although he heard that Prince Zhao was in Linzhou, Sheng Ze felt that their most important task at the moment was to relieve the pressure on the front battlefield for the Hubei Northern Army.
Cutting off the food supply is the fastest way.
However, we couldn't ignore King Zhao, so Sheng Ze looked at Ling Yun and the others and said, "Cheng Yun will go to Linzhou alone. If King Zhao is really there, you can act accordingly. The others will set up an ambush at the place where they must pass to enter Chenzhou and find a way to prevent them from transporting food and fodder to Chenzhou."
"What about you?" Ling Yun felt something was wrong when he heard what he said and asked quickly.
Sheng Ze pursed his lips and said, "I have to go back to northern Hubei. The situation is unclear right now. King Zhao may burn his boats."
The matter here is over. Ling Yun is there to assassinate King Zhao, so even if he fails, he doesn't have to worry about Ling Yun escaping. And there are other people who can intercept or cause trouble for King Zhao's army, so he doesn't need to stay here.
Shengze still remembered the scene in his previous dream. All the Hubei army died in battle on the bank of Lanjiang River. Liang Cheng was pierced through the chest by a long spear and was stuck on the bank of the river for three days and three nights.
The tragic scene seemed to be right in front of him. If he didn't go back to look at it, if an accident really happened, he would definitely feel extremely regretful in the future.
Ling Yun heard this and, for once, didn't object as he had before. After a moment's thought, he nodded and said, "Let's do it this way. Li Sheng and the others are fine. I'll go to Linzhou and, if nothing unexpected happens, I'll be back as soon as possible."
Sheng Ze looked at Li Sheng and said, "Although the mission is important, your lives are the most precious. Intercept the grain transported to Chenzhou three times, and then you will return directly the same way you came."
The team that came out this time were all elites of the Hubei Northern Army. They were all very strong in individual abilities. There were only eight of them in total. They were very mobile and could run away if they couldn't win. Sheng Ze was not too worried about their safety.
"Don't worry, third brother. Leave this to us. We will definitely make sure the soldiers on the front line won't have food for at least three days!" Li Sheng promised, patting his chest.
After assigning the tasks, the group set out in three groups and soon disappeared into the night.
Just as Shengze was rushing back overnight, Rong Shaomin and his party also came towards northern Hubei from another direction.
Rong Shaomin's face was very cold, and he no longer had the confidence he had in the past few days.
Aruda looked at her with some concern, "Princess, Prince Zhao is ungrateful. Don't get yourself hurt by your anger."
Rong Shaomin gently squeezed the horse's belly, causing it to stop. She snorted coldly, "If he doesn't want to cooperate, I'll naturally find someone else. Then he won't blame us for being ruthless!"
Her purpose of this trip was to cooperate with King Zhao. The Jun tribe went around from Jiji Mountain in the northwest to the south of northern Hubei, and took over northern Hubei while King Zhao's army and the northern Hubei army were fighting hard.
If the Jun tribe had not had such a small population, they would not be able to hold on to northern Hubei, so why would they cooperate with others?
