Consider a cube whose faces are given and a triangle whose vertices given then the number of point of intersection of cube and triangle is

Consider a cube whose faces are given by

$x+y+z=3\sqrt{3}$,

$x+y+z=2\sqrt{3}$,

$4x-5y+z=\sqrt{42}$,

$4x-5y+z=2\sqrt{42}$,

$2x+y-3z=\sqrt{14}$,

$2x+y-3z=2\sqrt{14}$,

and a triangle whose vertices are $(2, 1, 3)$, $(1, 1, 1)$, $(3, 1, 0)$,
then find the number of point of intersection of cube and triangle.

My work

I checked position of each point w.r.t 6 planes, then found that first point is outside the cube, second point is on one of the face and third point is inside the cube. Thus there should be 2 intersection, Is there some other way of solving ?
