I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 15 The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind
After signing the paperwork, 300 million will be credited in six months.

Qin Mu's goal has been achieved, but there is still one thing that needs to be resolved.

In the next box, a group of shopkeepers were extremely anxious.

They didn't know what the general meant by telling them to come here and wait, and they didn't participate in the loan themselves, so they became angry from embarrassment?
"I feel that it should be something that wants us to participate in arms purchases."

"I think so too, but Governor Lin is responsible for this aspect, and ordinary merchants can't get involved at all."

There are different opinions, but there is no definite guess.

Until Qin Mu arrived, "Everyone must have guessed why I'm looking for you, right?"

"Please tell the general."

"In the future, Lin Xun will transfer some purchase matters to you, but the price must meet the requirements, excluding ordnance."

After the discussion, everyone agreed without hesitation.

This is a huge and good business, and it is often the best place to make money from wars.

City Lord's Mansion.

Standing beside Qin Mu, Lin Xun seemed hesitant to speak.

"You want to ask, is it not appropriate to hand over important military affairs to businessmen?"

"General, the things I just bought are very important. Even a piece of clothing needs to be carefully selected."

"No, these are ordinary things. At the same time, I plan to use this to leverage the cooperation between merchants and the army. Only in this way can we avoid logistical problems."

Thinking about it carefully, Lin Xun suddenly realized.

Throughout the ages, there have been many such practices, but there have undoubtedly been major flaws.

But in these three states, Qin Mu's name, even the group of shopkeepers dare not mess around.

"Has the army arrived in Liangzhou?"

"It's here, but Liang Shidu has withdrawn troops. It is estimated that Lingzhou failed to contain it."

Qin Mu showed a sneer, and had already guessed such a result.

Such a little trick, I still want to turn the sky upside down!

Huangshi Mountain is surrounded by scattered rocks and there is no road, but it is an open area for the army to march.

The headquarters of Liang Shidu is here.

I thought that my strategy would achieve results, at least to lure Qin Mu's army to fight, and to eliminate some of the weakened troops even if they couldn't hide from the city.

But it never occurred to them that Lingzhou and Liangzhou had been on guard for a long time and would not fight at all.

Moreover, Gyeongju's offensive is difficult to maintain, so they can only retreat.

He sat in the tent with a sad face.

"How many casualties?"

"More than [-] soldiers were killed or injured, [-] of which were killed by Yue Fei's army in Qingzhou, and the rest were shot and killed in the two states. Centurion, thousand commander and above, and more than [-] generals died!"

boom!
Master Liang slapped the table furiously, "Why are there so many generals dying! What are they doing for food!"

"Prime Minister, there is a group of mysterious rangers who specialize in assassinating generals, and they run away as soon as they are discovered. We have no choice but to maintain the offensive of the army. These people are too powerful!"

"Awesome? He, Qin Mu, has an army of [-], and we are forced to withdraw our troops twice as many as him. Don't you think it's ridiculous!"

The military division next to him broke out in cold sweat and pointed to Gyeongju on the map.

"This city has the worst defense in the three states, but since Yue Fei entered, it has become stable, and there are support in the rear. If we want to capture it, we can only find a way to cut off the logistics supply line. In addition, there are many casualties in Lingzhou. It is estimated that Duan There will be no battle in time!"

"Take advantage of this opportunity to send multiple teams to carry out guerrilla operations and set up ambushes on the main road sections. Qin Mu will definitely not be able to withstand the consumption."

Master Liang was lost in thought, the military strategy was similar to what he thought.

But there is no extra time now, and the court soldiers and horses are about to arrive.

At that time, Qin Mu faced the court soldiers and horses, and his side would also be suppressed, so it was necessary to seize the time to capture the city.

"Night attack! In addition, spies are sent to investigate the situation in the three continents, as well as the movements of the imperial soldiers and horses!"

"It has been spread out. The news is that the imperial troops will arrive in Qingzhou City in five days at the latest. Qin Mu seems to be in financial difficulties. This is a great opportunity!"

Upon hearing this, Master Liang was immediately full of spirits, stood up and waved his hands.

"Arrangement, the rest of the army is over, [-] soldiers and horses will follow me to attack Qingzhou City at night, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will still contain Lingzhou and Liangzhou!"

"Yes!"

Outside the tent, a soldier covered his stomach.

"Oh, I have diarrhea, brother, help me push it up, it's convenient!"

"Hurry up, lazy people have a lot of shit!"

The soldier turned around and left quickly, bypassing a group of soldiers and getting into the jungle.

Huh, huh!
Two bamboo whistles sounded, and the herald who was pretending to be on the tree jumped down immediately.

"Immediately inform the general that the Liang division will lead eight thousand troops to attack Qingzhou city at night, and Lingzhou and Liangzhou will be restrained!"

"You continue to investigate and get out in time if there is a situation, but remember that you must not expose yourself if you are caught!"

The sky was getting darker and darker, and it was gray and it was going to rain.

And the news also reached the general's mansion, Qin Mu immediately asked the messenger to inform Yue Fei to take precautions.

In the current Qingzhou City, there are [-] soldiers, all of whom are elite.

Moreover, thousands of people were set up in ambush on the only way, and hundreds of catties of black powder were buried underground.

There is no way, the output is too low, it can only be used as a threat.

As soon as Liang Shidu's army appears, strangle them immediately!

The mighty team of more than 3000 people arrived in a valley, but they didn't make much noise.

Liang Shi, who thought he was full of confidence, led [-] troops and marched all the way without even sending scouts.

In fact, there was no time to investigate at all.

The narrow dirt road in the valley should be the most taboo place for military strategists, but they can only pass here for speed.

Seeing that he was about to arrive within two miles of Gyeongju, suddenly an inexplicable fear rose in his heart!
"The whole army is on alert!"

Master Liang looked around and saw nothing unusual.

Zi la la. Hiss hiss.
A strange sound sounded, making the soldiers feel terrified.

call out!
Suddenly, a crossbow arrow flew towards him, directly killing the lieutenant general.

"There is an ambush!"

Master Liang's complexion changed drastically. How could there be an ambush?
shhhhhhhh
The continuous sound of crossbow arrows came, taking away the lives of soldiers one after another.

But they haven't found each other's location until now!

Even, according to the direction judged by the voice, when the person passed by, he found that there was no one.

A strong sense of fear spread in the army!

Under the night sky, the gray weather shrouded them like black clouds.

"General, things are not good, or retreat first"

"what!"

Just halfway through the military talk, a crossbow arrow hit his chest directly, "General. Withdraw. Hurry up."

Master Liang watched helplessly as the military adviser who was hiding with him was killed just like that!

"All troops retreat!"

There is no other way, a large number of people were killed or injured as soon as they approached Gyeongju, and they may be surrounded after they go.

However, what he thought was too simple!

boom!
A huge, sky-shattering sound exploded in the rear in an instant.
