Chapter 341: No Fight

After leading the army to capture Erlong Mountain and settling the whole army up and down the mountain, Sun Tu could finally relax and rest for a while. However, at this time, he was not in a hurry to fall asleep, but after sending the people around him to guard outside the house, he quietly entered the realm of the ring again.

In fact, in the more than a year since he left Tokyo, Sun Tu has also entered the world of the warehouse system many times, but what makes him a little disappointed is that although with the continuous improvement of his official position and prestige, the system has indeed opened many warehouses, and now they have been opened to the 37th warehouse, but the things in these more than 20 additional warehouses have not changed in the slightest, all of them are full of grain, at most they are just adding some categories.

Sun Tu didn't plan to be a big Song grain merchant, he had more than 20 warehouses in his hands, and hundreds of tons of grain did make him feel a little helpless, this system was too cheating. However, after this battle in Erlong Mountain, he realized some points that had been overlooked before, in fact, these grains may be more valuable to him, the commander of the army, than to get a large amount of real money.

Affected by the number of people today, planting technology, etc., the annual grain production of the Great Song Dynasty is actually not too abundant, even if it is a good year, it may not be able to meet the needs of countless soldiers and civilians in the world. This is a problem for the people, and what about the armies of the state capitals?

The officials and soldiers in various places say that they are armies, but in fact, they are similar to ordinary people, and they also have their own survival needs, and because of the relationship they need to practice, the consumption of food will only be greater. And if Sun Tu wants to train a hundred elite soldiers in Qingzhou, he needs a large amount of grain as a logistical support, and it is obviously not enough to rely on the allocation of the imperial court, and the hundreds of tons of grain in the warehouse have now become his greatest help and confidence in raising and training soldiers!

When he understood all this, Sun Tu was glad that the warehouse system could give him so much food that seemed useless before. Today, when he re-entered the middle realm of the ring and checked the full warehouse of grain one by one, Sun Tu's face bloomed with joy: "This battle only consumed a few hundred boxes, less than one-tenth of the grain in the warehouse. Most of the other warehouses are full of polished rice and noodles, and once they are all taken out, they are enough to feed tens of thousands of troops for many days, so it seems that it is not difficult for me to expand the army and recruit troops. ”

The more he thought about it, the more excited he felt. The role of the grain in the warehouse is not only this, but more importantly, they are a powerful supplement that is completely unexpected by the enemy and us, just like this time can induce the people of Erlong Mountain to take the initiative to go down the mountain, once they make a mistake in their judgment in the future confrontation with the enemy, they think that Sun Tu's troops are short of food and rashly attack, and then they will naturally suffer a big loss.

In addition, the logistics and transportation of the army when it goes out is also a great problem, in order to ensure the safety of the grain route, the main force of the army sometimes does not dare to go too fast, and a large number of people are also needed to help deliver grain all the way. But when he arrived at Sun Tu, he obviously didn't have any worries about this, and the food was all placed in the middle realm system on his body, which didn't affect the march of the army at all.

"Maybe with this one hand, I can lead my army to a long-distance attack and kill some enemies by surprise in the future. As long as it is used well, these hundreds of tons of grain are enough for me to win several big battles. And now the warehouses are still growing, and maybe by then I will be able to stock up on thousands of tons of grain......"

Just as he was excitedly planning for the future, suddenly the voice of the system echoed throughout the space: "The reputation of the host has been upgraded again, three additional warehouses have been opened, and warehouses thirty-eight to forty have been opened!" ”

Sun Tu also came to his senses when he heard this, and quickly moved his mind, so he teleported himself to those warehouses to see what was going on. The first two warehouses were just as he thought, and there were still bags of grain stacked neatly, which were roughly the same as the dozens of warehouses before. However, when he came to the No. 40 warehouse, the situation was completely different, looking at the cardboard boxes, when he smelled the pungent sulfur smell at the end of his nose, Sun Tu's brows furrowed: "Isn't it, it's such a coincidence?" I just realized that it would be nice to keep the warehouse full of grain open, so you changed the trick for me? You're too cheating on this system, aren't you? ”

Complaining in his heart, Sun Tu had stepped forward and opened a cardboard box, and the things in it were exactly as he guessed, which were square, cannons the size of sea bowls, or the kind of thing that said "Earthquake Thunder".

Could it be that the system also knew that it had won a big victory this time, and hoped that the army would celebrate after returning to Qingzhou, so it sent these artillery battles? Sun Tu stared at the boxes of artillery in a daze with a little crying and laughing, and after a while, he suddenly thought about it, as if this thing had other greater uses......

But before he could come up with a reason, he found that an external force was tearing him out of the world. Sun Tu understood at that time that someone should be calling outside the door, so he didn't stay here, and in a moment, the person had returned to the house, and sure enough, he heard someone knocking on the door: "Eunuch, there is a change under the mountain, there is an army underneath, it seems that there is a possibility that it is not good for us." ”

Sun Tu immediately stepped forward to open the door, and after calming down, he said: "Lead the way, this official wants to see, who dares to run in front of my Qingzhou army formation at this time to be presumptuous!" "Don't look at the battle that has just ended now, but the morale of the Qingzhou army is high, and they are not afraid of another big battle.

When Sun Tu came to the high platform outside the Baozhu Temple, some of his subordinates also gathered there with solemn expressions, looking down from a distance, and still speaking: "Look at the banners and dresses of these guys, there is a chance that they are thieves from Liangshanbo, and they actually dare to offend my Qingzhou!" ”

"They didn't come to invade my Qingzhou, but came to help rescue Erlong Mountain." Luda explained loudly at this time, and when he saw Sun Tu coming, he told him what happened on the mountain before.

But these words made everyone more and more angry: "These thieves are really rampant, don't my officers and soldiers dare to cut them down?" Metropolitan Eunuch, the last general please order to go down the mountain and lead the army to break the enemy! This immediately won the support of many people, and everyone was eager to go down the mountain to join the battle.

Sun Tu also squinted at the Liangshan army below, there were a lot of soldiers and horses, but judging from the formation, its combat power was just like that. Although it was stronger than the rabble in Erlong Mountain, the team looked as loose and sloppy, and stopping at the bottom of the mountain at this time also gave people a sense of chaos.

"No hurry, wait." Sun Tu's gaze swept over the Liangshan army from time to time, but he weighed it in his heart. The Qingzhou army under his command naturally still has the strength to fight again, but in the end, it is a long-term battle, and even if it can win if it continues to fight hard, it will have to pay a big price, which Sun Tu does not want to see

results.

There is another thing he doesn't want to show, that is, Sun Tu still has a trace of admiration and expectation for Liang Shanbo's heroes, and he really doesn't want to meet them like this. Therefore, after some muttering, Sun Tu finally ordered: "Send a messenger to negotiate with them, and if they are willing to retreat, the official can treat them as if they have never seen them here." But if they don't know what to do and dare to show off their might in my Qingzhou, then don't blame us for sending troops to kill them. ”

But at the same time as he gave this order, a surprising scene happened - Liang Shanbo's team actually slowly retreated, not only did not have the intention of attacking the officers and troops under Erlong Mountain, but took the initiative to retreat.

"This is ......" Sun Tu condescendingly watched the other party quickly retreat, and only laughed after a while: "I can afford to take it and put it down, seeing that Erlong Mountain has fallen into the hands of my Qingzhou army, they no longer dare to entangle." ”

This is exactly the case, this time Song Jiang Chao Gai led nearly 2,000 brothers from Liangshanbo all the way to Qingzhou, and originally had the intention of helping the men and horses of Erlongshan to repel the official army. But before they could reach the place, they saw that the mountains were all garrisoned by officials and soldiers, and the flags of the Qingzhou Army were planted in front of the Baozhu Temple.

At this moment, they immediately understood that Erlong Mountain had been completely captured by the Qingzhou Army in a short period of time, and there was no rescue at all.

When they stopped in front of them, they were debating what to do next. Some brothers advocated just killing the past and crushing the officers and troops. However, Song Jiang and Wu Yong and other people with brains immediately denied this statement: "Now that the official army has won a complete victory and its morale is flourishing, we may not be its opponents, this is one of them; Our brothers have been running for many days on an expedition, and they are already exhausted and lack of combat strength, this is the second; Erlong Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but now the official army has guarded the key points, even if we do everything we can, it is difficult to have a chance of winning, this is the third. With these three points, I thought that I could not fight, but should retreat. ”

"But those people on Erlong Mountain ......," Chao Gai was still a little unwilling.

"Brother, by now they have already been killed or imprisoned, if we really kill them, it will only make them die faster, so it is better to retreat." Wu Yong also hurriedly persuaded and said: "Brother, everything should be based on the overall situation of my Liangshan, once we really have a bad pool here, I am afraid that Liangshanbo will be in danger." Li Sanzhuang, the Zhu Hu on Dulonggang, had intended to attack our rear road before, and if we returned with a loss of troops, the situation would only become more and more unfavorable. ”

"Well, just do as you say, and we'll quit. Hey...... "Even if he was reluctant, at this time, after running for hundreds of miles, the Liangshanbo army that came through the state could only retreat helplessly. It's just that when they retreated, Chao Gai and the others also had a clear idea in their hearts: "It's always a disaster to keep the three villages on Dulonggang, and when I go back this time, I have to think of ways to eradicate them together!" ”

Seeing that Liangshanbo's 2,000 men and horses were coming and retreating, the Qingzhou army that was waiting for them on the mountain was full of clamor and cheers: "The capital is mighty, and our army is victorious!" In everyone's opinion, this is clearly their own momentum that directly scared off a team of 2,000 people, and it was also a thief from Liangshanbo, this kind of prestige was undreamed of before.

This time, the soldiers who surrendered without a fight, Sun Tu's name became more and more famous throughout Shandong, and it shocked the world!
