I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 222: Inference

Editor: Atlas Studios

The people escorting the rations were from the 5th Division. Most of them knew Mu Yangling. The people who had wanted to stop Mu Yangling hurriedly smiled when they saw that it was her. “So it’s Miss Mu.” He glanced at the traces on the ground and came to a realization. “Miss Mu, don’t worry. We’ll get someone to deal with the traces now. Thank you for your reminder.”

Mu Yangling only nodded slightly before turning around to leave.

She used a tree branch to draw a rough map on the ground, highlighting Jingzhao Prefecture, Hanzhong Prefecture, and Cai Prefecture.

Since Hanzhong Prefecture was being attacked, if she was from the Jin Kingdom, she would first seek help from the Jingzhao Prefecture. At the same time, she would also send a message to the Cai Prefecture’s garrison to make preparations and provide support.

The Jingzhao Prefecture was the capital, and it was also the political center of the previous Great Zhou land now occupied by Jin soldiers. The people of the Jin Kingdom called this place Xijing. They definitely did not dare to send too many reinforcements in case someone attacked the Jingzhao Prefecture.

However, the number of Jin soldiers stationed in Cai Prefecture was no less than in Jingzhao Prefecture. This was because outside Cai Prefecture was the Yuan family’s army.

Mu Yangling had heard from Qi Haoran that there were more than 120,000 soldiers in the Yuan family’s army, and this was merely the data that Qi Xiuyuan knew. The Yuan family’s army would only increase in size after the restructuring of the military system, so the number of Jin soldiers stationed in Cai Prefecture was not small.

It would take seven days to march from Cai Prefecture to Hanzhong Prefecture. Unless Qi Xiuyuan could completely occupy Hanzhong Prefecture in seven days, he might face a pincer attack from three sides.

Mu Yangling propped her chin on her hand and squatted on the ground to think. Qi Xiuyuan was an experienced general when it came to leading troops, so he definitely knew this. She just didn’t know what other trump cards he had.

Mu Yangling quickly knew what trump cards he had.

Qi Xiuyuan’s dispatch of troops to Hanzhong Prefecture stunned a group of people. There were people who objected, and there were also people who cheered.

Discussions about this matter could be heard everywhere in Xingzhou Prefecture. The storyteller in the teahouse had already changed to talking about Qi Xiuyuan’s story and the anecdotes of various generals reclaiming their homeland.

As the magistrate of Xingzhou Prefecture, Wu Shancai only found out about this after Qi Xiuyuan sent out his troops. In the past, he could still restrain the army because the army’s rations came from the locals. However, now that the army’s rations were about to be self-sufficient, Qi Xiuyuan was not restrained at all.
