"Are you sure the other party is called Sun Zhou? Is Sun Zhou, Shanzhou?"

Pei Min looked at Gu Xin, a little incredible.

Gu Xin now admires Pei Min for his promising nature. Everything is as Pei Min expected. The promotion of Taoyan and Taoshuishi has driven the overall economic prosperity of Taozhou. Stimulated by the tax exemption policy, the market conditions in all walks of life have significantly improved, and Taozhou's long street is full of popularity. This is profitable. Many travelers will choose to stay in Taozhou for a while, and Taozhou can be said to be prosperous.

The only shortcoming is that Taozhou lacks real big merchants, and relying on erratic travelers to maintain the supply of groceries, which is obviously not as stable as the grocery stores that are truly based in the county.

Gu Xin has been persuaded to familiar merchants to open the business as soon as possible, but what he gave him is a reply of "waiting for a little longer".

Reopening a shop of a certain size requires a lot of capital investment. Before the Tubo crisis is truly resolved, real businessmen dare not take this risk.

Recently, good news came. Sun Zhou, an unknown businessman in Shanzhou, intends to open a large grocery store in Lintan, Zhiyi, Taozhou, and comes to him to discuss the store benefits.

Gu Xin was so happy to get the news. He ran around and personally led the people sent by Sun Zhou to the streets and alleys to find the store. After making a decision, he reported the matter to Pei Min, but for some reason Pei Min's reaction was particularly strange and asked: "It's Sun Zhou in Shanzhou, what's wrong with the governor? Do you recognize him?"

Pei Min thought for a while and said, "Did you see him?"

Gu Xin shook his head and said, "No, it's his manager! He didn't come!"

Pei Min said: "If it were the Sun Zhou I knew, there would be something strange about this!"

He had no deep contact with Sun Zhou, but he still had a certain impression of the talent that had given him certain help. When he gave Sun Zhou a reward money, Sun Zhou said that he would go back to his hometown in Shanzhou, buy a few acres of land, and study hard. He could see that Sun Zhou was interested in a career. This person who was interested in a career would not be able to go to business and break his own path.

Even though Sun Zhou felt that his career was hopeless, as a scholar, he should place his hopes on the next generation, rather than cutting off his own opportunities and his children to become officials.

The reward given to Sun Zhou is enough to make Sun Zhou a small landlord, with no worries about food and clothing. If he does well, he may even become a local gentry, and it is impossible to force him to be desperate and abandon his business.

"Maybe it was an accident? Maybe there was something else?" Gu Xin found an excuse to make an excuse. He was responsible for government affairs and military affairs. He didn't know that as long as it was good for Taozhou, he would not care whether it was strange or not.

Pei Min smiled and said, "I never believe in accidents. If something happens, there will be cause and effect! Sun Zhou is smart. Maybe he wants to use this to tell me nothing is necessary! Just think that you don't know anything. Don't worry about the rest."

Pei Min immediately arranged someone to go to Shanzhou to investigate the situation, and he realized something was wrong.

Sun Zhou is easy to live, but there are always guards around him, enjoying treatment he never possessed. Sun Zhou is not a big shot, so why should he protect him like this?

Pei Min then learned that Sun Zhou had been missing for a while, so he contacted the people and then analyzed the matter of Tubo's livestock gathering. How could he not realize the reason?

In the strategy of defeating the enemy by Feng Changqing, the situation of Tubo in the Jiuqu land in Hexi was written in a very detailed manner, and Pei Min was as if he put himself in his shoes. From that moment on, he had already begun to plan the method of defeating the Tubo. The quarry workshop can even be said to be designed to lure the enemy, but it was just a side-to-side economic development.

The only irresistible thing about his overall plan is that he doesn't know when Tubo will come. He has a little passiveness and cannot master the first move, so time is a bit tight.

Sun Zhou's appearance undoubtedly told him the time when Tubo sent troops, perfectly making up for the shortcomings of the plan.

Pei Min understood the situation and immediately rushed to the Shence Military Camp and summoned Feng Changqing, Li Yide and Jiang Yue to discuss.

After hearing Pei Min's illusion, Feng Changqing, Jiang Yue immediately understood and said in unison: "Speak east and attack west!"

"Not bad!" Pei Min pointed to the map and said, "Their total number is about 5,000, and our Shence Army has 6,000 people. With more than 1,000 people in Taozhou, they cannot take advantage of the number of people. Their nature is to harass, not fight head-on. The Shence Army Camp is a certain distance from the quarry workshop, but it does not give them a lot of time. After holding it in for so long, he mobilized 5,000 people. If it were me, he would definitely not be willing to make a small fuss. As long as we transfer the two thousand five Shence cavalry in our military camp, they can make a big fuss here..."

He said as he drew a red circle at the quarry workshop. He continued: "So, we must adapt to the times! First, we will call the Shen Ce cavalry out of the military camp, lurk at the foot of Lianhua Mountain, and marched late at night to the unmanned forest at the junction of Taozhou and Hexi Jiuqu, and acted according to the plan, and the rest remained unchanged." His finger moved to a secret place with the words.

"In this way, our number of troops will be a bit insufficient!" Feng Changqing was the first to keep up with Pei Min's rhythm and saw through the key points: "Tubo is all cavalry, and Taozhou's open land is most suitable for cavalry to charge and attack. On this land, only cavalry can gain an advantage against rangers. We can overcome the quarry workshop with the advantages of Taoshui, but they lure the enemy cavalry, so how can we deal with it?"

Pei Min said: "I have thought about this, and I really can't draw anyone out. But I can borrow troops from the ambassador of the Longyou army and the governor of Shanzhou Guo Zhiyun. He is responsible for the safety of Longyou. If there are thieves who do evil in Longyou, how can he not help? Besides, he was a subordinate of my grandfather in the past. I don't think he will refuse this. It's just how to transfer two thousand Shence cavalry out of the military camp and not show it in detail. This is a problem."

In Chang'an, Pei Min felt that Tubo was playing tricks on his own, and when he arrived in Taozhou, he felt this way.

Facing those gangsters who have no moral integrity and those greedy profiteers, Tubo is not stingy with money and goods and bribed them as his own eyeliner. The main reason for the several governors before him was unable to guard against them, which is the main reason.

The Shence Army is a regular army, and Tubo cannot reach out, but there are occasionally some mysterious people appearing near the military camp. Some are killed, some are hidden deep, and they are not killed. If two thousand people really need to be transferred to the camp, they will definitely be revealed.

Pei Min pondered for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled and said, "Yide, starting today, you will be able to mobilize troops out of the camp every day on the grounds of practicing long-distance raids. With a dense array of vanguards, two thousand loose geese formations were returned, and back to and from Yu Ri, he moved the soldiers out of the camp without knowing it." At this point, he slapped the table and shouted, "This time I want Tubo to compensate his wife and soldiers, rob our Tang Dynasty things, and let them spit it out twice at once."
