Chapter 1139 Muchuan is furious and wants to be held accountable, the thief is in ambush and waits for Muchuan
Chapter 1139 Muchuan is furious and wants to be held accountable. The thieves are waiting for Muchuan in ambush.
"Sir, we have tried our best to hide our whereabouts and not attract the attention of the enemy, but those bandits are cunning and still sneaked over.
Please punish me, Commander-in-Chief."
Xue Dingshan cupped his fists and whispered.
"Commander, we were wrong about this! Please punish us!"
"Yes, Commander, this is a dereliction of duty by the general! Please be punished."
Everyone knelt down to apologize to Muchuan.
"Okay, get up! I'm angry too.
I had already asked you to keep an eye on Lu San to prevent Dou Yihu from sneaking up on us, but in the end, they still let their people sneak into the construction site and killed so many soldiers and craftsmen.
Our losses have been heavy!"
Muchuan said, hating that iron cannot become steel.
Muchuan originally thought they were a group of well-trained soldiers, but the result disappointed him.
"It was the general's negligence!"
Everyone lowered their heads in shame.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. No one can escape from this matter. You are all from the army, so you should know the dangers of war.
You must learn a lesson and be vigilant in the future.”
Muchuan said seriously.
"promise!"
Everyone said loudly.
Muchuan waved his hand and said, "That's all, you have worked hard too.
Since the enemy has targeted us, you should not leave the garrison for the time being.
Once the enemy breaks through here, we will be in danger."
"My subordinates will obey the commander-in-chief's decree!"
Xue Dingshan said.
"There is one more thing I want to tell you. I plan to let you train new recruits. You must train them as soon as possible."
Muchuan said: "You have followed me step by step since childhood. I believe in you, so I hope you can teach the new recruits well."
"Don't worry, Commander, we will do our best!"
Xue Dingshan said.
"One more thing is that you should not act alone during this period. You must follow me and listen to my orders. Do you understand?"
Muchuan asked.
"yes!"
Xue Dingshan and the others responded.
"Okay, then go and get busy."
Muchuan waved his hand and said.
"yes!"
Xue Dingshan and the others turned around and walked out.
After they went out, Muchuan sat on a chair and rubbed his temples.
What emerged in his mind were those scenes on the battlefield, his eyes were reddish and his heart was sad.
This time, no matter whether they really want to rebel or not, Muchuan cannot keep them and must eradicate them, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
And what happened this time made him know that even if they caught people, those people would still not really surrender.
So they must be killed.
After all, Muchuan was a bit naive and thought of using the bandit leader to lure Dou Yihu out.
But I didn't expect that this step went too far and actually harmed my own craftsmen.
This time, Muchuan was completely furious, these damn bandits!
On the other side, Xue Dingshan brought his brothers back to the camp and immediately gathered his men.
"Everyone, you may already know that that group of bandits dared to attack our workshop. Now the commander is furious and is preparing to send an army to destroy this group of bandits. What do you think?"
Xue Dingshan looked at his subordinates and said.
"The commander is wise and we are willing to serve the imperial court!"
Just as Xue Dingshan finished speaking, these soldiers said in unison.
These soldiers are all Xue Dingshan's personal guards, and they are all top-notch heroes. They usually follow Xue Dingshan in all directions. They are all veterans of hundreds of battles, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than ordinary soldiers.
So they also want to serve Muchuan.
"Very good, I also hope that you can capture that group of bandits alive. The commander-in-chief will definitely reward us when the time comes.
Our family members will also receive generous rewards."
Xue Dingshan said with a smile.
"yes!"
Everyone said in unison.
"Okay, let's gather our soldiers and get ready to go!"
Xue Dingshan stood up and said.
So everyone began to organize their troops and horses.
Muchuan was looking at the map in the room at this time.
What he has to do now is to wait for the Tan Ma soldiers. When Tan Ma comes back and knows where Dou Yihu is, he can command his troops and set off.
In Beishan, one thousand meters away from the bank of the Yellow River, Dou Yihu took tens of thousands of soldiers and hid in a cliff to rest.
"Brother, when will we attack?"
Lu San looked at Dou Yihu and asked.
"No rush, wait until it gets dark!"
Dou Yihu said.
"Brother, why?
It can be said that we have been eating, drinking, sleeping and eating all these days in the wild!"
A captain asked in confusion.
"Hmph! You know what the heck, it's winter now and it gets dark very late.
At night, it is easier for us to move and avoid enemy pursuits."
Dou Yihu snorted coldly.
During this period, due to lack of food, they could only stay in the wilderness and did not dare to go out to rob.
Because once you are discovered, no matter how powerful your martial arts is, you will not be able to deal with so many Tang soldiers.
Although it was a bit frustrating, Dou Yihu still endured it.
They are bandits, not regular soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. There is no way to deal with this kind of aggrievement.
Although Lv San led a sneak attack on Muchuan's construction camp last night, he also knew that such a small amount of damage would not hurt his muscles and bones.
"Lu San, you said you have a gold mine in Beishan, is it true or false?"
No matter how I look at it, it’s all coal mines!” Dou Yihu asked with some suspicion.
The reason why he was able to come all the way to Beishan to help Lu San was because Lu San said that there were gold mines here that had not been controlled by the Tang Dynasty officers and soldiers.
"Brother, really, I promise, look at this terrain, it looks like a golden mountain!"
Lu San said excitedly.
This gold mine was indeed discovered by Lu San, and he has been digging for it.
However, in recent years, due to Datang's strict control over gold mines, the news about this gold mine has been hidden from other people.
He was worried that if he told it, he would arouse the covetousness of others, and even make Prince Li Tai of Luoyang, who had always ignored him, raise an army to conquer him.
So I have been putting it off until now without telling anyone.
Unexpectedly, Muchuan would come to attack him for a few coal mines, so he could only use gold mines to attract Dou Yihu.
"nice.
This mountain is not small. According to your estimate, it is worth at least one million taels of gold."
Dou Yihu carefully observed the surrounding environment, then nodded with satisfaction and said.
"Hey, then aren't we developed?"
Lu San also said excitedly.
"Haha, what good things do you think of?
Do you know whose territory this is?
It's mine! I didn't come all the way to save you just to share the money with you, I just came to take over this gold mine!"
Dou Yihu glared at Lu San and said.
"Brother, I discovered this gold mine. Shouldn't we develop it together?"
