Chapter 1576

Wu Zhao nodded, having some realization.

"But a few days of rations, what if it's not enough? What should be done?" Wu Zhao continued to ask.

Gao Yang shook his head, "Your Majesty worries too much. The special terrain of the Hexi region, this subject has already stated. Looking down at the Hexi Corridor from the map, it is a straight road. The Xiongnu tribes must live by the water, so they are not difficult to find."

"Then what if it's a small tribe with very few cattle and sheep?" Wu Zhao asked again.

"Theoretically speaking, this probability is extremely low and should not happen." Gao Yang was stunned for a moment, then said.

Wu Zhao's expression tightened, "On the battlefield, the situation changes in an instant. What won't happen? I am talking about what if it happens. Have you made preparations to deal with it?"

"I... am doing this for your own good!"

Having said this, Gao Yang had no choice.

Originally, he didn't want to say it. After all, Gao Yang's reputation in the outside world is quite good. Who doesn't say he is kind and a good person when they see him?

So, Gao Yang bowed and said, "Since Your Majesty insists on asking, this subject will speak directly."

"This subject is cautious by nature and has already thought of a way out."

"A tribe, even if there are few cattle and sheep, there are always some. Since there are cattle and sheep, naturally there are Xiongnu people grazing and resting there, right?"

Wu Zhao looked displeased, "Prime Minister Gao, I am asking you about the lack of cattle and sheep for the army's supplies. Why are you talking about the Xiongnu people grazing and resting?"

Gao Yang smiled without saying a word, just staring at Gao Yang.

Shangguan Wan'er reacted first, her red lips parting slightly.

The next instant.

Wu Zhao's expression also changed.

She looked at Gao Yang, her face full of shock.

"Prime Minister Gao... are you saying..." Wu Zhao's expression was shocked, her face full of astonishment.

The second half of the sentence, Wu Zhao couldn't quite say it.

Gao Yang still didn't speak, just gave Wu Zhao a look that said, "You understand."

"Hiss!"

Wu Zhao gasped slightly.

I still remember when Gao Yang first showed his brilliance, the Duke of Dingguo Prefecture was gathered with old generals to discuss military strategy, and Gao Yang's words shocked a group of old generals.

According to the spies, since that time, a group of old generals gathered at the Duke of Dingguo Prefecture and never simulated combat or discussed military strategy again, but changed to foot massage and health care...

On this point, Gao Yang made great contributions!

He originally thought Gao Yang was just joking, but he didn't expect Gao Yang to really have ideas and be mentally prepared!

"I will ask one last question. What if... I am talking about what if, what if the army raids and doesn't find a Xiongnu tribe? What should be done then?"

"Simple!"

Gao Yang was still very calm about this.

"This is also simple?" Wu Zhao couldn't help but raise her voice, feeling something was wrong.

Gao Yang said, "The army carries a small amount of supplies, one person with three horses, marching a hundred miles a day is not a problem. With this marching speed and the special terrain of the Hexi region, finding Xiongnu tribes is not difficult. But since Your Majesty mentioned 'what if', this subject will think of a way according to the 'what if'."

"Has Your Majesty forgotten my three hundred death row prisoners?"

"Hiss!"

Gao Yang just said a simple sentence, which made Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er gasp in unison.

"The three hundred death row prisoners also have a share in the lack of grain?"

"Aren't they your vanguard team, and the suicide squad when the army is trapped?"

Wu Zhao couldn't suppress the shock in her heart and asked.

Just now, Gao Yang said that the three hundred death row prisoners would charge with explosives, and even if they were really surrounded by the Xiongnu Great Chanyu's one hundred thousand troops, they could forcefully blast out a path of survival.

But now, they can also solve the grain problem?

Gao Yang spoke with certainty during the morning court session. He thought Gao Yang wanted to stimulate the combat power of the three hundred death row prisoners to defeat the Xiongnu. It turns out combat power was only the smallest part of the reason?

"Your Majesty, this does not conflict. It is best to use death row prisoners for the suicide squad, but if the death row prisoners are gone, we can select three hundred more from the elite with a large amount of money..."

"Isn't Your Majesty talking about 'what if', assuming a lack of grain?"

"When the army is in danger, three hundred people, plus the configuration of one person with three horses, can hold on for another three days. According to this marching speed, we can always find a Xiongnu tribe."

Wu Zhao: "..."

Shangguan Wan'er: "..."

Wu Zhao's red lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

But Gao Yang interrupted directly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. This behavior is not very good, but this subject has a plan in mind. This subject will send them out in batches and then kill them, which will not shake the army's morale."

Wu Zhao: "..."

She wanted to say whether this move violated the Heavenly Dao?

Where is that the meaning?

Moreover, is this behavior just "not very good"?

Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful eyes were complex.

It is hard to imagine that there is someone in this world who can use death row prisoners to this extent!
