Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

"General Yang, the flood in Huaixi, the bandit Wang Qing took the opportunity to plot rebellion."

"The imperial court has decreed that Hun Tianhou will be the commander-in-chief, Tong Guan will follow the army to supervise the army, and set off soon to wipe out the rebellion."

After hearing this military order, the Yang family was immediately speechless. Is there no one in the court? If you need anything, you can find the Yang family.

Mu Guiying was also reluctant.

She had just set off for the expedition last year, and she was a little annoyed at the reunion this year and the need to lead troops again.

Da Song is really full of holes now, with air leaks everywhere, and just after pressing the lower part of the wax, someone rebelled.

Looking at it now, last year's war against Xia was a bit reckless, and the impact it brought was far more than superficial losses.

Fortunately, the Hengshan area in the northwest was finally occupied, and the Liao Kingdom was forced to back down when negotiating peace, otherwise the court would suffer losses.

Kou Zhun sighed and explained:

"Don't blame the weather. It's an eventful season. As the saying goes, those who can do more work. The bandit suppression needs to be done quickly, so it's up to you."

"It's not that the rest of the generals are unable to go out, but they are not capable of anything."

As he spoke, he looked at Yang Zongbao and said:

"Zong Bao, good man, don't indulge in love for your children."

Yang Zongbao was a little embarrassed when he heard the words. Although he felt uncomfortable, he still persuaded his wife:

"Gui Ying, the country is in danger, and my servants can only do our best for the country."

Hearing this, Mu Guiying couldn't help but rolled her eyes, looked at Kou Zhun displeasedly and said:

"Master Kou, please don't flatter me to kill me. You said that a quick battle is needed. Why?"

Kou Zhun coughed and said:

"Because the imperial court has no money or food, it can only give you what you need for two months."

Everyone was surprised:

"Master Kou, are you joking?"

Kou Zhun shook his head and said:

"It's not a joke. Last year, the imperial court consumed too much and suffered a lot of losses. This year, the harvest is not good."

"The imperial court must ensure the needs of the capital and the frontier army, especially the capital, and there must be no chaos."

"So I can only feel wronged."

Everyone was quite speechless after hearing the words.

In two months, except for the marching time, there is only one month to fight.

No matter how bad the rebels are, they can't be underestimated, right? Is this a war or death?

Mu Guiying looked at the people around her, frowned and pondered for a long time before saying:

"It's not impossible for me to go out, but I need the imperial court to order Cao Bin to provide military supplies for the army nearby."

Yang Zongbao's eyes lit up, he nodded repeatedly and said:

"It's feasible, Zhong Jinghou is full of resourcefulness and careful planning, with his help, Gui Ying should be safe."

Madam She and others also agreed.

The biggest feature of Cao Bin leading troops is that they have sufficient military supplies, and they will be at ease only if he provides military supplies in the rear.

Kou Zhun nodded and said:

"I can suggest that the imperial court issue an order to temporarily order Zhong Jinghou to be in charge of the transshipment between the two Zhejiang provinces."

"However, Jiangnan has just suppressed the rebellion not long ago. I can't predict how much military supplies he can provide."

"Be prepared for lack of supplies in cloudy weather."

After sending Kou Zhun away, Mu Guiying suddenly got up and said:

"Since the military situation is on fire, I will pick up soldiers and prepare to go out."

Eighth Sister Yang hurriedly said:

"I'll go with Guiying."

Madam She glared at her and said:

"I don't need you, you stay at home."

Mu Guiying also waved her hand and said:

"For this expedition, I don't plan to divide the troops, so I can only bring Sanniang and Wuniang..."

Seeing that she was going out soon, Yang Zongbao hurriedly said:

"Gui Ying, it's getting late now, and the preparations for tomorrow are the same."

Mu Guiying glared at him, didn't speak, and left with Sanniang and Wuniang directly.

Watching her leaving back, Yang Zongbao was full of depression...

Cao Bin received the news of the chaos in Huaixi earlier than the court.

However, he only transferred Lu Junyi to Jiangning to station, and ordered the navy to block the Yangtze River to prevent the bandits from fleeing southward. There was no extra action.

Since the imperial court didn't let him intervene, he wouldn't cross the border to mess around.

After a lively and reunion Mid-Autumn Festival, Cao Bin took some time off and compensated his wives and concubines for his points every day.

Now the various workshops in Zhejiang and Zhejiang have been saturated, and the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce is also on the right track. A large amount of grain has already been shipped over, enough to last until the autumn harvest in October.

There are people managing all aspects, and Cao Bin no longer intervenes in person.

It's just that he found that the current points are a bit difficult to mix, except for the adoption of Zhan Zhao's wife and concubine as a righteous daughter, after obtaining [-] points, there was no triggering of the dandy event.

Now I can only do nothing about my business and spend [-] points on the bottom line every day.

Excluding the potatoes and the cost of making the god-gold armor, it has only been accumulated in the past two months

integral.

After all, as a minister of the frontier, he can't stop doing business every day, he can't help himself.

It's just that the accumulation of points is too slow.

So much so that a "life extension one-day card" that is automatically swiped out can't afford it.

It seems that there is still another way.

When he has no errands, he can earn 100 points by going to brothels every day.

If you have an official position, you can earn 200 points.

It seems that I have to find a way to develop other hobbies.

Going around the brothel is a bit annoying, he has no interest in gambling, playing with birds and walking the dog is a bit low. …

Just as he was dawdling in his thoughts, the court envoy and the third wife of the Yang family arrived.

Cao Bin couldn't help grinning when he heard that he was going to provide supplies to Mu Guiying himself.

Not long after the tax was collected, the imperial court couldn't even get enough anti-insurgency supplies for tens of thousands of soldiers. How poor is this?

Seeing Cao Bin's appearance, the court envoy added:

"The imperial court knows that Jiangdong is also very difficult. This time, the money and food collected in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are counted as autumn taxes..."

It seems that the imperial court was also in a hurry, and even did something like collecting taxes in advance from the common people.

Seeing the nervousness of the third mother of the Yang family, who hesitated to speak, Cao Bin smiled to himself, but he didn't feel embarrassed.

Although the sea trade has just started for a few months and is not rich, but with the Hangzhou Trade Office and the Sea Trade Chamber of Commerce, it is not difficult to borrow some supplies, money and food.

If the money is not enough, at worst, all credits will be paid.

Since the imperial court exempted the two Zhejiang and autumn taxes, Cao Bin had no reason to refuse.

Soldiers are very fast!

After receiving the imperial edict, Mu Guiying immediately selected soldiers and headed south without any delay.

By the time she arrived at the north bank of the Huaihe River, more than 20 days had passed.

What makes her depressed is.

The imperial court clearly promised that it would be enough for two months, but the grain and grass sent over had been mixed with a lot of bran. The real grain was only enough for more than one month, and it was unknown who had withheld it.

The ordnance armor is also mixed with a lot of second-hand goods and scraps.

Although she was used to this kind of thing, she didn't expect to be stuck in such a critical time for the court.

"Guiying, the food and grass can only last for more than half a month, do you want to collect food on the spot?"

The fifth mother of the Yang family asked.

Tong Guan also nodded and said:

"Yeah, Marshal Mu, no matter what, you have to gather enough food and grass for a month, otherwise you will be too passive."

Mu Guiying looked at the surging river, shook her head and said:

"This year, taxes have been increased in various places, and it is difficult to collect food. We don't have so much time."

"It's better to cross the river as soon as possible and get closer to the east of the river. One is to get food from the enemy as much as possible, and the other is to meet Cao Bin's supplies. I just hope he can provide enough food and grass."

While talking, the spies suddenly came to report:

"Report to Marshal, there are countless boats on the river to the east, coming upstream!"

Everyone was startled, and Mu Guiying immediately said:

"Quickly find out the detailed information and find out where the navy is."

Afterwards, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to be alert.

The fifth mother of the Yang family murmured:

"The bandits shouldn't have so many sailors."

Tong Guan slapped his head and said:

"It can't be the fleet sent by Marquis Cao, right? It's just why his people are here?"

Then shook his head and said:

"It shouldn't be!"

How can there be such a caring transfer envoy?

It would be nice not to let them send troops to Jiangdong to transport grain, and to send them to the Huaihe River by detour, he felt that his idea was too beautiful.

At this moment, hundreds of boats of all sizes appeared in everyone's field of vision, covering the river.

The spies also rushed to report:

"Report to Marshal, it's a grain transport ship from Zhejiang Province."

Mu Guiying breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, she didn't expect Cao Bin to be so caring, and directly delivered the food and grass to her nose.

Tong Guan already laughed excitedly:

"You really deserve to be Marquis Cao, why don't our family like to work with Marquis Cao the most? It's so comfortable!"

When Wu Niang of the Yang family heard this, she couldn't help but give him a blank look.

A dead eunuch speaks so aggressively, what kind of bullshit is this!

At this time, the fleet has slowly stopped on the river, and a large ship of about ten feet is slowly docking.

The third mother of the Yang family walked off the boat with a middle-aged man dressed as an outsider.

She said excitedly:

"Guiying, Cao Bin sent someone to send over [-] shi of grain and grass, as well as military supplies such as weapons and armor, artillery, and giant crossbows."

"Food, grass, and equipment will be brought in later..."

When Mu Guiying heard the words, she suddenly had a bottom line in her heart.
