Prayer for Fire transported 100,000 taels of gold. He was not in a hurry to leave the territory of Bei Mo. Instead, he bought grain in the surrounding states and counties near the border in Bei Mo. With 100,000 taels of gold, he almost sold all the grain in the markets of several nearby states and counties.
Naturally, this batch of grain could not be transported back to the Northern Tang Dynasty, so he rented a granary and hoarded the grain, and he himself did not leave the Northern Desert.
The strategy of cutting off food was also used by the Great Zhou Dynasty when he attacked Bei Mo. However, these failed histories did not have any educational significance for the people of Bei Mo, because they invaded with the hope that they would definitely capture the Northern Tang Dynasty.
Determined, as long as Beitang is captured, there will be enough food. Beitang itself is a large granary.
Therefore, even if General Qin knew that Qihuo was buying grain, he thought it was due to the snobbery of the people of the Northern Tang Dynasty. He thought that he would make a fortune from this grain, and if he sold the rare goods, he could resell them and make a lot of money.
After all, a Northern Tang man who would kill the Northern Tang Crown Prince would not be used by the Northern Tang Army. He only had interests in his eyes.
General Qin didn't care. He was a military general and only thought about fighting.
So what he was thinking now was that Yu Wenhao was dead and the Northern Tang Dynasty would definitely be in chaos. Therefore, General Qin decided not to wait and launched a quick attack. The main force quickly entered the territory of the Northern Tang Dynasty, with great momentum along the way. Within two months,
Captured the imperial capital of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
He ordered the entire army to march towards the border of Northern Tang Dynasty.
For the confrontation between the two armies, he thought it would be best to take place a hundred miles away from Jiangbei Prefecture.
He did not take it lightly. The Northern Tang Army was personally led by Xiaoyao Gong, the Supreme Emperor personally led the expedition, and Prince Anfeng and his wife were in charge. The Northern Tang Army also had high morale and confidence in this battle. Therefore, he ordered that once the war drums sounded, the Northern Tang Army must win the battle.
The two cities on the border of the Tang Dynasty took advantage of the opportunity to suppress the Northern Tang Army. When they pushed in again, they could defeat the Northern Tang Army.
The first battle was crucial. He knew that he would win, but he also knew that it would be difficult to fight. He could win because the two armies were always so disparate in strength, but it was difficult to fight because the Northern Tang Army was so brave as never before.
He was prepared for a fierce battle, but when the Northern Desert army pressed in all the way, what they encountered was not strong resistance, but more like a strategy to lure the enemy deeper, and it led him all the way to Jiangbei Mansion.
go.
General Qin has experienced many battles on the battlefield, so he naturally knows that this is the plan of the Northern Tang Army. How could he be easily fooled? Jiangbei Mansion must have set a trap, and even the large troops of the Northern Tang Army are waiting in Jiangbei Mansion, because of this
In a battle, the opponent fought not long before they retreated steadily. Their number was only 70,000 to 80,000, which was not the main force at all.
Moreover, the coaches of this game were actually King Wei and King An, and Prince Anfeng and the Supreme Emperor were not seen at all.
The victory in the first battle gave General Qin a lot of confidence. He believed that although the Supreme Emperor and Prince Anfeng personally led the expedition, it inspired the morale of the army, but after all, they had not been on the battlefield for a long time, and the battlefield was already too far away for them.
, Moreover, they are an army dominated by the imperial power, so the generals below have different opinions and dare not raise them. This is also the drawback of the royal family's personal expedition.
Therefore, he did not take the bait, but let the army rest in place for a day and then marched to Xiuzhou Prefecture.
Xiuzhou Prefecture is mostly mountainous, also known as Tiancha Prefecture. The mountain roads are winding and winding, and are conducive to concealment and ambush. Whoever can occupy Xiuzhou Prefecture first will have the upper hand.
The most important thing is that by going around Xiuzhou Mansion, you can bypass several cities and reach the Imperial Capital of the Northern Tang Dynasty faster. In other words, this is a shortcut.
