"Why, could it be that Gao Xuanfu even had an inside job in Ping'an Jingzhong?"
Seeing these three people exclaiming in unison, Gao Zhang slowly shook his head and clicked his finger on Ping An Jing on the map.
"Because the capital of Japan, Ping'an Jing, did not build walls or gates at all."
"...Are they crazy?!" The three Song generals all shouted in unison with disbelief on their faces.
"I don't know if they are crazy or not, but this is the fact. There is no city wall in Heianjing of Japan."
"Only the palace where their king lives is surrounded by a mud wall about five feet high."
This is of course not Gao Zhang's nonsense but a fact. In addition, the Japanese buildings are all wooden buildings.
If Yao Pingzhong was about to make a surprise attack on Ping An Jing, tsk tsk tsk... the prosperous Ping An Jing would definitely look good.
This made Gao Zhang couldn't help but think of several major events in later generations that made people happy, all of which had a great relationship with the flame barbecue of important cities in the country.
He glanced at Yao Pingzhong, a fierce general of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty who was very good at special operations.
Gao Zhang suddenly felt something in his heart and shouted outside. "Fu'an, Fu'an!"
"The villain is here, sir, what are your orders?"
"Go to the warehouse quickly and see how much blubber there is now."
Although Fu'an didn't understand what the young master meant by asking him to see how much whale blubber there was at this time, he still jumped out honestly.
Not long after the meeting, I came to report that there were eighty jars of whale blubber in the warehouse, one jar weighed one hundred and fifty kilograms, and eighty jars weighed twelve thousand kilograms.
Gao Zhang successively purchased a lot of whale blubber, but most of it had been sent to Bianliang, Tokyo, to please his master and his parents.
However, twelve thousand kilograms, although not much, is still a lot. After all, this thing is resistant to burning. The burning-resistant whale blubber paired with the wooden buildings of the Japanese country is a perfect match for dry firewood.
After Gao Zhang thought for a while, Zhao Fu'an came closer and whispered to him.
"Bring more people with you to buy honey for me. The more the better, it will take at least two thousand kilograms. If Suzhou doesn't have that much.
You go to Changzhou or Xiuzhou. If it exceeds two thousand catties, it will be considered a success for you. "
"Sir, why do you need so much? Two thousand catties, how long will it take to eat?"
"Go if you are told, I will be of great use."
Seeing Gao Zhang start to glare, Fu'an quickly agreed loudly and jumped out crawling on the ground.
Gao Zhang then turned around and showed an enigmatic smile towards the three generals who were obviously confused.
For some reason, the three generals of the Song Dynasty who crawled over from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood were actually horrified by the smile of the No. 1 Scholar.

"Three of you, come on, sit down for a moment. General Yao, your proposal just now is very good. You want to use a small elite force to surprise the Japanese king's capital, Ping An Jing."
"As long as it succeeds, it will definitely shake the entire Japanese country and make it difficult to advance or retreat, and the crisis of the Fujiwara Kingdom will be resolved by itself."
"However, General Yao, I have an idea for General Yao's reference..."
If it were any other little kid, not to mention Yao Pingzhong, even Fang La and Yang Zhen would just leave.
But the problem is, in front of them is this wise child prodigy who is both civil and military.
No matter how unruly Yao Pingzhong is, he will still be divided among others, not to mention whether he can achieve this feat depends on whether the prodigy champion nods his head.
Afterwards, several people began to murmur in the room and began to deduce the possibility of a surprise attack.
Yang Zhen and Fang La were not optimistic about it before, mainly because they were worried that they would not be able to enter Ping'an Beijing at all.
But now I know that Ping An Jing can be regarded as an undefended royal capital.
All the princes and nobles of the Japanese country live in this undefended capital, so as long as the plan is well planned and executed well.
It will definitely provide the Japanese king with a stunningly beautiful fire.
Everyone kept talking to each other from dawn until almost midnight, and then they dispersed hastily. The next day, they gathered again in Gaozhang's mansion to continue the discussion.
Gao Zhang even hired craftsmen to make a rough model of Heian Kyo based on the map of Heian Kyo given to him by Fujiwara Tadayi.
Fu'an spent a lot of effort, but only managed to get nearly three thousand kilograms of honey.
Under Gao Zhang's instructions, he began to make a highly sticky thing made of whale blubber and honey mixed in proportion.
In addition, Fu'an was ordered by Gao Zhang to collect a large number of pig urine bladders and cortical water bladders.
Due to the insufficient number of skin water bladders on the market, Fu'an had to rush to the surrounding Changzhou, Xiuzhou and Hangzhou to purchase them.
This caused the common people and traders in the three states to curse because they could not purchase water bags.
Even Gao Zhang wanted to ensure the success of the surprise attack and how to retreat safely.
The test was conducted using the approximate distance from Changshu to Suzhou City.
Although Yao Pingzhong was a little unhappy, he was finally convinced by Gao Zhang.
After all, Gao Zhang clearly told Yao Pingzhong that in your surprise attack on Ping'an Jing, you will only win but not lose, and there will be no second chance.
#####
Therefore, only through repeated deductions and military exercises can problems be discovered and solved.
"What Gao needs is to ensure to the greatest extent that you, General Yao, and your brothers can go home safely and become heroes respected by thousands of people.
Instead of disregarding the life and death of Wu Bi, the Great Song Dynasty, sit on the bloody merit list and enjoy the cheers of the people. "
At this moment, Yao Pingzhong and his 115 elite Western Army troops were preparing to set off, as well as Yang Zhen, Fang La and other generals.
Everyone looked at the short, underage prodigy champion standing on the ground.
Looking at his childish but serious face, even though he is young, people dare not teach or insult him.
Yao Pingzhong pursed his lips, immediately rolled his saddle and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists in salute to Gao Zhang.
"Thank you Gao Xuanfu. I will definitely return with all my efforts together with my brothers."
More than a hundred riders behind him all rolled off their saddles and dismounted, shouting in unison.
Gao Zhang also saluted Yao Pingzhong and others. "I wish all officers and men immediate success."
"Mount your horse and let's go!"
Yao Pingzhong turned over and jumped on the horse's back, clasped his fists towards Gao Zhang in salute, then turned his horse's head and roared wildly.
More than a hundred cavalrymen from the Western Army roared in unison, like bolts of lightning, galloping away into the distance.
Obviously this was just a drill, but everyone's hearts were filled with boiling blood and pride.
Yang Zhen looked at the galloping team, turned his head, and looked at Gao Zhang who strode to a high place and looked towards the direction of the elite Western Army's retreat.
He couldn't help but subconsciously sigh to the generals around him.
"If the performance of Duke Zhuangyuan these days, as well as his words and deeds today, are reported back to the northwest border, it will be enough to make the elite of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty willing to die for Duke Zhuangyuan..."
