Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General

Chapter 160: Xia Qin's psychological warfare (1)

Xia Qin felt a little embarrassed, with a mischievous smile on her face, and scratched her head to express her apology.

"But you're half right," Mo Ye looked at the Jingzhou military base in the distance, his eyes deep and determined, "someone did hold his family hostage, but it wasn't me, it was the Qin family."

"The Qin family has held Wei Gao's family hostage, so it must be preparing for a rebellion, right?" Xia Qin frowned and thought for a moment before answering, "Mainly, controlling Wei Gao is equivalent to knowing all about the emperor."

Mo Ye nodded slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. He agreed with Xia Qin's opinion and continued to explain, "Yes, Gao Huanyang is outstanding among the princes of the previous emperor in terms of intelligence, talent, and means. It's a pity that he is not worthy of his position and is too conceited. He watched the Qin family grow stronger but didn't care. He thought he could balance the situation in the court, but he didn't know that the world had long been secretly controlled by the Qin family."

"So, you saved Wei Gao's family?" Xia Qin asked in surprise, staring at Mo Ye, expecting his answer.

"No, I just proved to him that I could save his family," Mo Ye smiled, "A few years ago, I personally kidnapped Wei Gao from the palace in the middle of the night and let him meet Shen Nanfeng, Lu Shaoqing, Gongsun Xin and others."

Xia Qin suddenly realized, "So, he has been obeying you since then?"

"It's not that I'm following orders. I just asked him to arrange a few people to enter the palace to obtain some intelligence, and promised that I would save him and his family when the world changes drastically. Because he also obeys the Qin family and is very smart, he can roughly guess when the Qin family will take action."

Xia Qin was stunned after hearing this: "So, your rescue of Jin Qi was just an accident?"

Mo Ye said speechlessly: "Xia Xia, I am not a fortune teller. When I made the deal with Wei Gao, you were still stupid. I would not have known that Jin Qi would enter the palace and give birth to a prince!"

Xia Qin thought about it and felt that what Mo Ye said made sense: "But it's always a good thing. By the way, where is Wei Gao and his family now?"

"He has already settled in Yangzhou. He is afraid of revenge from the Qin family if he goes somewhere else. He has seen too many methods of the Qin family over the years. Otherwise, he would not choose to trust me."

Xia Qin's expression suddenly became very serious: "He actually has no choice at all."

"Yes, he has no choice. Living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. He is staying by the side of an emperor like Gao Huanyang, and the Qin family is eyeing him covetously. He can do this, which is incomparable to ordinary people."

"Mo Ye, actually, we don't have a choice, right?" Xia Qin tilted her head and looked at Mo Ye.

Mo Ye gently smoothed the worry between her brows: "Silly girl, of course we can choose, choose how to win."

Just then, someone interrupted their conversation.

"Brother Mo Ye," Xia Xiao flew over and stood beside the two men, "the people from the court have left. They seem to be discussing something."

"Don't worry about them, just follow Xia Xia's plan!" Mo Ye blew a slogan softly, and more than a hundred Night Spirit members in the woods rushed in different directions.

Xia Qin and Mo Ye led the rest of the people to the Jingzhou military granary. In the granary were grain and fodder that had just been collected from various counties a few days ago. Before the uprising, the Qin family had already made preparations to deal with the Yangzhou Mu family as soon as possible.

The granary where food and supplies are stored is less than thirty miles away from the Jingzhou garrison. Although it is far away from the state border, it is still guarded by more than a thousand elite soldiers.

The reason why Xia Qin and Mo Ye came here tonight was very simple, to steal the food and supplies or directly burn them.

At the same time, Hong Shengxiang, Deng Yuting and others had also gone to Xuzhou to do the same thing.

"Are you ready? Be careful this time!" Xia Qin whispered to Mo Ye. Naturally, the most dangerous part would be completed by Mo Ye.

"Don't worry, just wait for me here!" Mo Ye said, and he took a quick step and flew straight to the military camp mess.

The kitchen was filled with mist at this moment. Several cooks were using huge pots to cook corn porridge and steam some coarse flour cakes. There was a lot of noise in the kitchen. Mo Ye quietly lifted a piece of green tile and observed the situation inside.

Without hesitation, he took advantage of the crackling sound of burning wood in the kitchen and threw a few pills accurately into the pot.

Then he gently covered the roof with green tiles and looked into the distance. Rows of barracks were in sight. To be on the safe side, he put drugs in all the water tanks and pools outside.

After doing all this, he still did not leave, but flew down and arrived at the barracks not far from the kitchen without anyone noticing.

Unlike the simple camps built temporarily during the march, there are about five large barracks here, each of which can accommodate hundreds of soldiers for rest.

At this time in the barracks, the unaware soldiers were still laughing and chatting, creating a lively atmosphere.

"It's time to eat!" Soon soldiers came to each barracks to make the announcement.

A general-looking man in the barracks stood up and said loudly: "The army may set out to attack Yangzhou in the next few days. Brothers, be careful after eating and drinking!"

A young soldier joked, "Boss, we are responsible for guarding the food and grass, so there is no need to be so nervous."

The general still had a serious face: "From ancient times to the present, guarding food and grass is the most dangerous thing. Don't take it lightly and don't joke with your life. After dinner, follow the previous arrangement and continue to take turns guarding the granary!"

"Yes!"

"Let's go, let's eat first!"

With that, the soldiers quickly left the barracks.

After confirming that there was no one in the barracks, Mo Ye jumped in through the window, took out a small green porcelain bottle from his arms, and poured the contents into the oil lamp.

After several barracks had complied with the law, he found a hiding place and waited for the double insurance to take effect.

About half an hour later, the entire military camp was as silent as a pool of stagnant water.

Mo Ye carefully checked every tent and found that only two or three soldiers were barely awake, but it was easy for him to deal with these people.

Then he quickly left the camp and found Xia Qin who had been waiting for a long time.

"Done!" Mo Ye said in a low voice.

Xia Qin nodded with satisfaction: "Then let's get started, let's go and 'steal' things!"

After a while, next to the granary, the baggage carts were already filled with food and fodder. They were the baggage carts and food and fodder of the Jingzhou army.

At the beginning, everyone acted very cautiously, for fear of waking up the sleeping soldiers.

But they soon discovered that the soldiers slept more soundly than dead pigs, so they gradually relaxed their efforts and sped up the transportation of food and fodder.

Looking at everything in front of him, Xia Qin turned to look at Mo Ye and said jokingly: "Mo Ye, I didn't expect that your master from Medicine King Valley would prepare such a powerful poison for you!"

Mo Ye scratched his head awkwardly and replied, "Actually, my master taught me more about medical skills, but medicine and poison are inseparable... And this Jiumeng Powder is not from Yaowang Valley. It was made by Xiaoyu based on the secret book given by the deputy leader of the Five Poison Gang."

"Xiaoyu? Oh, yes, is that the book you gave to Xiaoyu?" Xia Qin remembered the secretary book that Mo Ye brought back for Xiaoyu after he went to see the deputy leader of the Five Poison Gang.

Mo Ye nodded: "That's right, now Xiaoyu can be considered the heir of both the Five Poison Gang and Medicine King Valley. Although she is not a formal disciple, she is also quite talented. Given time, she will surely make achievements in both poison and medicine."

"Mr. Mu Shi, the food and fodder have been almost loaded. There are not so many baggage carts here, and it is already full." A subordinate came to report.

"Well, let's go. As long as we reach Sangzi Bridge, everything will be settled!" Xia Qin looked around with satisfaction, "What should we do with these soldiers?"

"They will wake up in two hours. As for how General Zhao deals with them, we have no control over it."

Xia Qin made an indifferent expression and said, "Send a signal when the time comes. We'll be waiting for them over there."

An hour later, several shrill signal sounds broke the silence of the night and alarmed the commander of the Jingzhou army, Zhao Nande, and the Jingzhou governor, Wang Chenggu, who were not far away.

Hearing the location of the signal, the two of them didn't even bother to put on their clothes and hurried over here.
