Chapter 333: You can do this too? Is there really no way out?

Inside the Jin Luandian.

Accompanied by Gao Yang's voice.

The civil and military officials all widened their eyes, looking at Gao Yang in disbelief.

Wu Zhao's gaze also carried shock.

"Lord Gao, did I hear wrong? Our army will eat up these tens of thousands of Chu troops?"

Her first instinct upon hearing Gao Yang's words was that he was going to treat these people as small snacks, but she immediately reacted.

But even if he wanted to destroy these one hundred thousand Chu troops, it was equally unbelievable!

Gao Yang spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, although the Chu army united with Prince Wu and colluded with the Longguan garrison general to catch our army off guard, our Da Qian's various armies are already killing their way toward Changancheng!"

"Especially the Changning Army, which received Your Majesty's order to mobilize troops very early. This can be considered the biggest variable in this battle, and something the Great Chu's main general never expected!"

"In the world of making plans, all kinds of methods are nothing more than two things: one is using the weaknesses of human nature, and the other is information asymmetry."

"The Changning Army arrived earlier than Great Chu expected; this is the confidence behind my words!"

Upon hearing this, the hundred officials also suddenly thought of the Changning Army.

Their eyes flickered.

The Changning Army, tens of thousands strong, commanded by Nangong Tian, was an out-and-out elite army of Da Qian, with extremely strong combat power.

Wu Zhao fell into a period of thought.

After an in-depth communication with the Duke of State Prefecture and Gao Yang, she also realized the crisis of Da Qian and the trouble brought by the identity of the Empress.

Therefore, she bore huge pressure and mobilized the Changning Army to rush to Changancheng to garrison together!

This was five days faster than the news of the Great Chu army invading Da Qian!

Great Chu thought Changancheng was completely unprepared, but in reality, it had been anticipated by Gao Yang, and certain precautions had been made, and the Changning Army had received the order in advance.

In other words, the Changning Army had long been on the way.

The closer they got to Changancheng, the more they would find something wrong, and the march would accelerate again.

Minister of War Wang Hao stood out and said, "This move is too risky. The Changning Army doesn't even know how many days it will take to arrive at Changancheng. Great Chu is not a fool; fake negotiations won't fool them for a few days."

"If they attack crazily, it will be a huge danger to our Da Qian!"

Gao Yang smiled upon seeing this: "Lord Wang's words are reasonable, but who said I meant fake negotiations?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao was stunned.

"Then what does Lord Gao mean?"

"My meaning is to negotiate first, dragging it out as long as possible and adapting to the situation; if the Changning Army and the various loyalist armies arrive quickly, then we shall devour this army of one hundred thousand!"

"Otherwise, Changancheng is high, and Great Chu is very likely to say they will fight to the death but suddenly retreat, looting in reverse. If they want to leave, with our Da Qian's current military strength, no one can keep them."

"In the eyes of you lords, do I look like the kind of person who would send the whole army out of the city to fight the Chu army to the death in a reckless manner?!"

Gao Yang said with a stern face.

He rarely took chestnuts from the fire; the Empty City Strategy was also based on huge certainty and a backup plan before it was implemented.

These words instantly made the group of ministers breathe a sigh of relief.

They had heard Gao Yang's meaning and thought the negotiation was just a cover, and that he was going to pull out all the troops, march outside the Nine Gates, and fight the Chu army to the death!

This was unacceptable to them.

Lu Wen had no expression, but he cursed in his heart.

"This Gao Yang doesn't say everything, he scared me!"

Wu Zhao, seeing this, also breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew the situation inside Da Qian's Changancheng very well, and Gao Yang knew it even better.

Defensive warfare and fighting outside the city were two completely different concepts.

The Chu army had many elite cavalry and was not good at sieging cities; they had few large siege weapons. The Changancheng commoners could exert greater combat power in defending the city, all of which were constraints on the Chu army!

But once they charged and killed head-on, the Chu army still had a huge advantage in numbers. Even if Da Qian had a killer weapon like the grenade, it was very dangerous.

And, Da Qian didn't have many alchemists and death-row prisoners now. Even if they processed grenades day and night, the quantity produced was very limited.

These grenades were just enough for defending the city, but if they fought outside the city, it would be somewhat insufficient.

Gao Yang coughed twice. "Your Majesty, actually I have another idea, which is to agree to the negotiation first, and then send censors who are not afraid of death to carry explosives and go, blowing these six people up in one go!"

"Those who can come to negotiate are not mediocre people; maybe we can wipe out the Chu army's main generals in one pot!"

"That would be a huge profit!"

"Hiss!"

Upon hearing this, the Da Qian civil officials could not sit still.

"Absolutely not!"

"This method is too inhumane!"

"Our Da Qian is a country of rites; this will make the six kingdoms and the people of the world laugh at us!" ===== CHAPTER 335 =====
