At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 32

Xu Mu found that he underestimated the merchants of this era.

Although I have the vision of 2000 years later, the merchants of this era can become the world's richest in troubled times, which must not be underestimated.

The ancients once said that there is no business without adultery.

In fact, the original meaning of this traitor is sharp, but it means the best among them, and the meaning of wisdom is extraordinary.

For example... this time, relying on a group of trustees, Fan Zhu will most likely be able to achieve today's inspection goals.

Ten thousand copper coins.

As for today's Wanmin Square, with the opening of the salt shop, the people of Wanmin City already know the next plan of the Lord's Mansion.

Although I don't know why the Lord's Mansion calls such a huge palace a square, they are secretly planning what to sell if they want to make a living in Wanmin City in the future.

It can be said that Xu Mu used Fan Zhu's salt shop to inoculate these people, letting them know that in the future, the Lord's Mansion will focus on supporting the traffickers and merchants in Wanmin Square.

And Yang Guang stayed with Xu Mufang Xuanling in the back hall for a while, then said that the Municipal Planning Department still had important matters to do, so he left first.

As the Son of Heaven, he really didn't want to see the two "superiors" in front of him. Standing with Xu Mu and Fang Xuanling, Yang Guang felt uncomfortable.

Xu Mu, who knew Lao Yang's identity, also expressed his understanding. Lao Yang's mood at this time should be mixed and very complicated.

After Lao Yang left, Xu Mu discussed the next plan with Fang Xuanling on Wanmin Square.

"Lao Fang, you still have a long way to go. With the help of Qu Yuanli, the wasteland that should be opened up by the Ministry of Civil Affairs has almost been opened up. You have to preside over the division of land for more than 7000 households in the city. .”

"At that time, I will order the research institute to send a batch of grain seeds. You need to urge the Secretary of Agriculture to distribute them to the people of the city, encourage production, and strive to achieve self-sufficiency in Wanmin City within half a year, and export it to the outside world by the Wanmin Company after half a year."

"As for the investment promotion of Wanmin Square, you also need to be in charge. Let's not worry about the second floor. Let's build the farmer's market on the first floor first, so that Wanmin City can truly circulate and prosper!"

Xu Mu pulled Fang Xuanling and talked a lot, and Fang Xuanling took a piece of paper from the salt shop on the spot and carefully recorded every word Xu Mu said.

There is a feeling of later generations listening to the leader's speech and taking notes.

Anyway, Xu Mu became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it, because... Originally, these things were what he should worry about.

It's all right now, I just need to formulate tasks and check the results.

Time passed by, and that night, the people of Wanmin City left the city one after another. After the salt shop closed, Fan Zhu counted the income from today's business, and there were more than fifteen guan.

Excluding the cost of buying goods from Xu Mu's four guan, the net profit is more than [-] guan!
Completed the task perfectly.

"From today onwards, you are the owner of Wanmin Company."

Xu Mu did not break his promise and made a formal appointment.

Fan Zhu was very excited when he heard the words, and bowed down in front of Xu Mu: "My lord's kindness, Fan Zhu will never forget it in this life, and I am willing to do my lord's work like a dog and a horse, and bring the world's richest people into Wanmin City!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Mu waved his hand, as if he was not interested in money: "Didn't I tell you? I am not interested in money. The real function of Wanmin Company is to obtain information from the world..."

"Yes, yes, what my lord said is true, it's because my subordinates are shallow." Fan Zhu understood it, showing an expression of admiration.

"Okay, get ready. In a few days, I will bring salt to Luoyang and open up a business route!"

Xu Mu briefly explained some matters to him, and then left Wanmin Square.

Now, before leaving Wanmin City for Luoyang, Xu Mu has to deal with a more important matter!

……

barracks.

"What is the current military situation?" Xu Mu stared at Zhang Xutuo with a cautious expression.

The two sat opposite each other, and a topographic map was placed in front of them.

It was densely marked with marching routes and so on.

God Zhang Xutuo took a breath, pointed to the center of the picture, and said solemnly: "The scouts are here to report that Pei Renji will arrive at Yangcheng tomorrow, and there are [-] Xiaoguo troops in Yangcheng, at least they can stick to it." half moon!"

"And we must find a way to capture Yangcheng within half a month. We must not let it fall into the hands of Pei Renji!"

That's right, before leaving Wanmin City, Xu Mu needs to take down the Yangcheng Fortress that enters and exits Wanmin City!
In addition, Yangcheng is the main road to the east of Luoyang, and it is also a place that military strategists must contend for.

If you master it, you can cut off the connection with Li Mi's army, making it difficult to care about it from beginning to end!
Similarly, if it is taken down by Pei Renji, it means that the door of the house has been occupied by others.

It is almost impossible for the Wanmin City army to come out of the mountains in the future.

"Pei Renji... I heard that Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin are all strong generals in his army?" Xu Mu couldn't help frowning.

The most important thing is that these people are all Zhang Xutuo's old department.

Xu Mu originally wanted Zhang Xutuo to subdue Pei Renji, but...Zhang Xutuo made it clear that if he went alone, Pei Renji would kill him and hurry up.

The reason is very simple, because of his death, Pei Renji won the allegiance of Qin Shubao and others.

It was impossible for Pei Renji to let him live.

"These two men are extremely brave and unparalleled in the world. The last general once fought against two, but it was only a narrow victory." Zhang Xutuo nodded, with a look of admiration in his eyes.

Xu Mu: "..."

In fact, Xu Mu didn't know if Zhang Xutuo was bragging.

You know, Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin were famous generals in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

In the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, they are almost mythical.

What Zhang Xutuo meant was that if he was singled out, he could rub the opponent on the ground...

Xu Mu glanced at Zhang Xutuo, patted him on the shoulder, and advised: "Old Zhang, you are over 50 years old, sometimes you have to obey your old age, and don't compete with those young people for a while."

Zhang Xutuo couldn't help but want to refute when he heard the words, but he heard Xu Mu's next words: "The son of a thousand gold can't sit still, but now you are the pillar country of Wanmin City! In this battle, you must not go down to fight the enemy , everything is about safety.”

Zhang Xutuo was very moved by Xu Mu's words, and Xu Mu repeated it again, so he promised not to fight.

Afterwards, he began to describe his operational policy for this battle.

"The last general is going to hide the soldiers at the foot of the mountain, fight out when the two Peis are fighting, capture Yangcheng, and then continue to hold on!"

Xu Mu looked at the topographic map outside Yangcheng, with the mountains behind him and the front facing the direction that Pei Renji came from.

It can be said that Zhang Xutuo's policy is quite reliable.

When the snipe and the clam are fighting, they take advantage of the void and enter.

The odds of success are high.

But Xu Mu stared at the topographic map for a long time, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt... Among the tactics of later generations, there is a trick that is especially suitable for the battle for Yangcheng.

"How far is Yangcheng from the foot of the mountains?" Xu Mu asked, pointing to two points on the map.

"More than [-] steps." Zhang Xutuo blurted out without much thought.

It can be seen that he has already figured out the terrain outside Yangcheng city these days like the palm of his hand.

"Enough! With this distance, you can dig a long tunnel, enter Yangcheng from the ground, use the three hundred iron pagodas as the vanguard, control the main general Pei Qiantong in the city, and capture the whole city!!" Xu Mu weighed it carefully, and felt more and more about this matter. feasible.

First of all, the distance is not long.

Secondly, he only needs to send 300 people into the city.

The most important point is that the defense of Tiefutu is astonishing. With 300 people entering the city, even if there are [-] Xiaoguo troops, they will not be able to display their corresponding strength in the city.

He only needs to find the enemy's general at the critical moment, and Yangcheng will change hands immediately!
In the city, the [-] Xiaoguo army can only be divided into hundreds of teams, and it is impossible to form a battle formation.

And the 300-member combat squad of Tiefutu can play its biggest role.

Zhang Xutuo understands Pei Qian very well, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, as long as he is taken down, he will surrender!
"If we enter the city like this, as long as our army captures Pei Qiantong in a short time, Yangcheng will definitely fall!" Zhang Xutuo was moved by Xu Mu's words, and he could take down Yangcheng without bloodshed.

Now there are too few people in Wanmin City, he wished he could take Yang City with zero casualties.

"But there is a key issue. Xingyue is reckless. He can only be a general, not a commander. The last general is really worried about letting him lead the army." Zhang Xutuo stared at Xu Mu with a hint of pleading.

"My lord, please allow me to allow the last general to lead the army into the city!"

Zhang Xutuo stood up suddenly, and bowed to Xu Mu on one knee.

From the eyes of this veteran, Xu Mu saw the incomparable desire for the battlefield...

Two years ago, he "died in battle" at the hands of Li Miwagang's army.

He has never been on the battlefield.

In just a split second, Xu Mu understood the fighting spirit surging in the veteran's eyes.

Zhang Xutuo is such a person who only needs to die for the country on the battlefield, so why return the body shrouded in horse leather.

"Forget it, you can lead the army into the city, but you must wear the iron pagoda." Xu Mu sighed lightly, but still granted Zhang Xutuo's request.

Zhang Xutuo was overjoyed, and quickly promised: "My lord, this strategy is like a magic weapon descended from the sky. The Pei army will never expect to be here. It is not easy to attack, and this battle will definitely be fought!"

Xu Mu nodded, he has always trusted Zhang Xutuo's leadership ability.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have risked their lives to save him two years ago.

And considering that he will compete with his peers in the future, he holds the trump card of anti-king nemesis in his hand, and in the future he will point at Lao Zhang to chop Li Mi, Dou Jiande, and Li Yuan.

And myself...

Xu Mu is also very clear about his position, the man standing behind Zhang Mengnan, in case he is plotted against.

The reason why Li Mi successfully set up an ambush is mainly because...Old Zhang didn't know that he had entered Wagang.

Prior to this, Lao Zhang fought with the Wagang Army for more than [-] battles, all of which pressed the Wagang Army to the ground and beat them violently.

So when Li Mi entered Wagang and offered advice to Zhai Rang, Lao Zhang didn't expect it at all, so he fell into the trick.

Originally, Lao Zhang regarded Wagang as bronze, but who knew that the opponent changed to a summoner halfway through, and Lao Zhang jumped over the tower to forcefully kill him, but was counter-killed once.

Fortunately, Xu Mu appeared and rescued him.

"Oh, by the way, Lao Zhang, I have a treasure for you."

After discussing the Yangcheng battle strategy with Zhang Xutuo, Xu Mu suddenly stood up with a mysterious smile on his face.

Zhang Xutuo didn't know why, he was a little at a loss, his eyes were full of doubts.

"You may have forgotten that today is your birthday."

As he spoke, Xu Mu took out a two-meter-long brocade box from under the table and slowly opened it, revealing a delicate and complicated longbow.
