Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 987

After the team's rope was successful, Li Ke led the team to attack northeast, bypassing the enemy's defense line, and giving the enemy the illusion that they were about to be cut off.

Woodward led people to attack from two directions at the same time, and put on a posture of a strong attack, but it was just a high-intensity feint attack, which consumed a huge amount of arrows and kerosene, but there were not many opportunities for hand-to-hand combat.

When the enemy army divided up to stop Li Ke from the back, Li Ke led his soldiers down the river quickly on rafts.

The ropes tied in advance played a decisive role at this time. These strong ropes stopped the raft going down the river, allowing Li Ke to land with his troops, and then used the quickly assembled catapult to directly attack the enemy camp with kerosene .

The enemy army was in chaos, and then joined forces to attack.

Next, release the opening in the north. After the enemy flees, the whole army presses up to catch up. Use the rout to attack the enemy's second line of defense camp. The first line of defense destroyed most of the original fortifications.

Li Tai's idea for Konoe Zhongren is exactly the opposite.

The tactic Li Tai used was sleepiness, sending elite troops to intervene between the first line of defense and the second line of defense.There is no big river around the enemy camp that Jin Wei Zhongren wants to attack, but it is also a slope that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Therefore, after cutting off the enemy's retreat, Li Tai sent troops to continuously throw animal carcasses into the upper streams of the enemy's camp where they could get water, and then surrounded the enemy's first line of defense barracks to put on a defensive position, while ambush the second line of defense. Enemy troops who came to the rescue.

The continuous shouting and fighting sound for several days made the people on the first line of defense come out of the camp to fight against the guard Zhongren in the wild when the guards were breached, no supplies were available, and they were surrounded.

Hou Junji and Su Dingfang both expressed their support for the two tactics, which are very beautiful small-scale battles.

The other battalions only need to watch the barracks of their target. After any enemy army leaves the advantageous terrain that is convenient for defense, Hou Junji and Su Dingfang are full of confidence whether it is an ambush or a confrontation on the same terrain.

Qin Qiong, Cui Junsu, and Tang Jian put on an attitude of just watching and not talking. Qin Qiong held a military amulet in his hand, but in fact he put on the posture of supervising the army, and didn't care about military affairs at all.

The only thing he said was to suggest that the two generals Hou and Su listen to the tactics of Wood Wally and Konoe Tadren.

It is impossible for a national war to end in a few days. Datang has enough logistics reserves for the conquest of Liuzhao for two years. The strategic policy given by Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty is one word, stable.

It is said that the Indochina Peninsula is attacking from south to north, and the battle to destroy the Liuzhao has begun.

Liu Mu also returned to Huating.

The Huating military port was closed, and a big-bellied canal tanker carrying grain was responsible for loading the gold. This time, even civilian husbands were not called in for the transportation, and all the transportation was carried out by the naval reserve and the guards of the Donggang Shipping Department.

It will take some days to change all the goods from sea ships to canal ships, so Liu Mu takes Romeo to Huating City.

Huating has been promoted to a state, because the population has already exceeded 2 households. The population of Huating here is only more than 30 households registered in the Tang Dynasty, plus the Fusang, Silla, Jiaoren, and Chenla slaves. Taking over [-] households means almost [-] people live, work and live here in Huating.

Cui Yiye heard that Liu Mu was temporarily staying in Huating for a few days, so he put aside his official duties to welcome Liu Mu.

"Are you busy?" Liu Mu's first words after meeting Cui Yiye hurt Cui Yiye's heart. Cui Yiye is not someone who needs sympathy, so he replied calmly: "I'm a little busy, There hasn’t been anything earth-shattering recently, but for me, three baskets of documents a day, I still have time to drink some tea.”

The three baskets of documents are terrifying.

Liu Mu tried to deal with three baskets of documents in a row, and felt that his head was about to split.

"Surprised?" Cui Yiye asked with a smile.

Liu Mu nodded slightly: "I thought you were free, so you would come to accompany me for a walk in Huating. The three baskets of documents are very troublesome."

Liu Mu spoke seriously, but Cui Yiye didn't intend to let Liu Mu go, and he still had a calm expression: "This is a question of IQ. I just learned a new word from the Chang'an Medical Sacred Hall. , IQ problem."

Cui Yiye didn't directly say that Liu Mu's IQ is low, but the meaning is very obvious.

Of course Liu Mu knew what IQ was. He laughed dryly and didn't reply. He turned around and introduced the people around him: "This is Romeo, a nobleman from the Mediterranean Sea. At the end of last year, the King of Yan invited him to be made an earl."

Cui Yiye put away his smile, and saluted Romeo very seriously with the etiquette among the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

Romeo hurriedly returned the gift. Although he didn't know who Cui Yiye was, he could hear the conversation just now. It was obviously a joke between each other. It was obvious that this person's status would not be low.

Liu Mu did not introduce other people around Romeo, they are not qualified to be introduced by Liu Mu.

Only Romeo's old housekeeper Liu Mu mentioned.

For loyal servants, the upper class nobles of the Tang Dynasty were very fond of them. Cui Yiye immediately sent someone to fetch a folding fan and presented it to Romeo's old housekeeper, with paintings and poems written by him on it.

Liu Mu said to Cui Yiye again: "Romeo, on behalf of the Mediterranean Business Group, hopes to purchase 15 bolts of fine linen of various colors for this year's purchase. The Mediterranean Business Group has calculated that the annual demand for high-grade linen in countries along the Mediterranean Sea is about Around 120 million horses."

"15 horses." Cui Yiye secretly glanced at Liu Mu with puzzled eyes.

If someone mentions 15 bolts, Cui Yiye will explain, does Liu Mu know what 15 bolts of linen are?

Not to mention Huating, there is no large-scale linen workshop in Cixi. Most of the industries are processing raw hemp, hemp products, silk and making machines. The output of fine linen of various colors is close to one million pieces per year.

Oh!
Cui Yiye understood instantly.

Liu Mu is going to show these Mediterranean barbarians what sackcloth is.

This is easy to do!

Cui Yiye ordered his entourage to make arrangements, and then said to Liu Mu: "I just have time today, and the new batch of apprentice weavers trained by Huating No. [-] Textile Workshop have entered the internship period, why not go and have a look."

"it is good."

Liu Mu knew very well that Cui Yiye understood what he meant.

Liu Mu also knew the reason why he chose the second workshop instead of the first workshop. The first workshop considered the convenience of river transportation when choosing the site, which made it impossible for him to expand, so he built the second workshop.

Due to various restrictions such as size and location, the first workshop has now become the location of high-quality linen and weaving schools.

Huating is still planning to build a third textile workshop, because the scale of a workshop is too large and difficult to manage, so after reaching a certain scale, it can only build a new workshop.
