Qihuo transported away 100,000 taels of gold, and was not in a hurry to leave the territory of the Northern Desert, but bought grain in the surrounding states and counties near the border in the Northern Desert, 100,000 taels of gold, and almost sold all the grain in the markets of several nearby states and counties.

The trick of cutting off grain was also used when the Great Zhou attacked the Northern Desert, but the history of these failures did not have any educational significance for the people of the Northern Desert, because they made a large-scale invasion with the determination to take the Northern Tang Dynasty, as long as the Northern Tang Dynasty was taken, the grain would be enough, and the Northern Tang Dynasty itself was a big granary.

Therefore, even if General Qin knew that Qihuo was buying grain, he also thought that it was the snobbery of the Northern Tang Dynasty, thinking that he would make a fortune with this grain, and that the strange goods could be sold when the time came, and he could make a lot of money.

After all, a Northern Tang man who would kill the prince of the Northern Tang Dynasty would not be used by the Northern Tang Army, and he only had interests in his eyes.

General Qin didn't care, he was a military general, and he only thought about the war.

So now what he thinks is that Yuwen Hao is dead, and the Northern Tang Dynasty will definitely be chaotic now, so General Qin decided not to wait, and fought a fast attack, and the main force quickly entered the territory of the Northern Tang Dynasty, all the way like a bamboo, and within two months, captured the imperial capital of the Northern Tang Dynasty.

He ordered the whole army to march and press towards the border of the Northern Tang Dynasty.

The two armies clashed, and he thought it was best to settle a hundred miles outside Jiangbei Province.

He didn't take it lightly, the Northern Tang Army had Xiaoyao Gong personally in command, the Emperor Taishang personally drove the expedition, and Prince Anfeng and his wife were in charge, and the Northern Tang Army was also high morale and full of confidence in this battle, so he ordered that once the war drums were beaten, the two cities on the border of the Northern Tang Dynasty must be taken, and the Northern Tang Army was suppressed with a lottery, and when it was forced again, the Northern Tang Army could be defeated.

The first battle is very important, he knows that he will win, but he also knows that it is difficult to fight, and he can win because the two armies have always had a huge disparity in strength and weakness, and it is difficult to fight, which is the courage of the Northern Tang Army that has never been seen before.

He was ready for a tragic battle, but the Northern Desert army pressed all the way in, and what he encountered was not strong resistance, but more like a strategy to lure the enemy into a deep one, and it led him all the way to Jiangbei Mansion.

General Qin experienced a hundred battles on the battlefield, so he naturally knew that this was 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 were waiting in Jiangbei Mansion, because of this battle, the other side fought not long ago, and they were defeated and retreated, and the number was only seventy or eighty thousand, and it was not the main force at all.

And the bosses of this scene turned out to be King Wei and King An, and Prince An Feng and Emperor Taishang were not seen at all.

The victory in the first battle gave General Qin a lot of confidence, he believed that the Emperor Taishang and Prince Anfeng drove the expedition in person, although it inspired the army, but in the end they have not been on the battlefield for a long time, the battlefield is too far away for them, and they are the army dominated by the imperial power, and the generals below have different opinions and dare not put forward, which is also the disadvantage of the royal family.

Therefore, he was not fooled, but let the army repair in place for a day, and then march to Xiuzhou Mansion.

Xiuzhou Mansion is mostly mountainous, also known as Tianqian Mansion, the mountain road is tortuous, and it is conducive to hiding and ambushing, who can occupy Xiuzhou Mansion first, who will grasp the opportunity.

The most important thing is that bypassing from Xiuzhou Mansion can bypass several cities and reach the Northern Tang Imperial Capital faster, in other words, it is a shortcut.

He never planned to take the city all the way first, because he thought that as long as he captured the imperial city, killed Emperor Ming Yuan, and hung his head, it would be regarded as capturing the Northern Tang Dynasty.

Naturally, he is not a reckless person, in order to determine this, he sent several waves of spies to Jiangbei Mansion to investigate, and sure enough, there was a garrison in Jiangbei Mansion, and the camp tent was set up within a radius of ten miles, and the yellow camp tent could be seen, in other words, the Emperor Taishang and the main force were waiting for them in Jiangbei Mansion.

He sneered at his generals and said, "When people are old, they are confused, it can be seen that the matter of fighting cannot be stopped, once stopped, no matter how powerful the god of war is, it is just a horseman, Prince Anfeng is useless, and they destroyed weapons in the early years, Prince Anfeng without weapons is just a toothless tiger." ”

The generals agreed, shouting that the general was wise, and victory seemed to be in sight, the Northern Tang Army was so unworthy of a blow, why not be able to take the Northern Tang Dynasty

He immediately waved his army to Xiuzhou Mansion, to occupy Xiuzhou Mansion first, Prince Anfeng saw that this plan could not be achieved, and he would definitely chase after him, but after they occupied a favorable position first, the Northern Tang Army was completely in a situation of being beaten.

Xiuzhou Mansion is a hundred miles away from Jiangbei Mansion, occupied Xiuzhou Mansion, basically took the north of the Northern Tang Dynasty, this position is so important, General Qin attaches great importance to it, sent the vanguard of 5,000 people, the large army then followed, the Northern Tang Dynasty this time is almost the strength of the whole country, therefore, the state capitals will not have garrisons, at most the Yamen led people to resist stubbornly, 5,000 people, enough to quickly take Xiuzhou Mansion.

Sure enough, it was only ten days after the vanguard was dispatched, and it had already reported, saying that it had taken Xiuzhou Mansion, and had already led the army to investigate, Xiuzhou Mansion had no garrison, only the government and the people, and on the day the army broke through, all the people in the official mansion ran away.

General Qin was greatly excited at the moment, and ordered the whole army to march and quickly rush to Xiuzhou Mansion to take over Xiuzhou Mansion first.

The general of the vanguard of the Northern Desert is also a member of the Qin family, the nephew of the Qin general, called Qin Mofeng, and a veteran of a hundred battles.

However, after the martial law order was lowered, no one carried it out, and the people still came out to walk, and he was furious, and immediately gathered his troops to slaughter the people.

But when the troops gathered, they saw that the people also quickly gathered and showed their weapons.

He realized something was wrong.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, the ground shook like a mountain, coming from the end of the straight street, in the smoke and dust, I saw a veteran sitting on a tall horse, quickly rushed to, his heart was suddenly cold, it was the Xiaoyao Gong of the Northern Tang Dynasty, he sat on horseback, condescending, his face was solemn and majestic, and all the generals gathered just to wait for him to give an order

Hit the plan

Xiuzhou Mansion has already moved the people to a safe place, all the people here are dressed up in disguise by the Northern Tang Army, this is a bureau, and the bureau is located in Xiuzhou Mansion, not Jiangbei Mansion.

And the news has been sent, the general thinks that Xiuzhou Mansion is safe, and the brigade of men and horses is now rushing to Xiuzhou Mansion, as long as they enter the city, they will be quickly surrounded. To be continued
