Transmigrating to the Song Dynasty: Water Margin Business Management

Wu Yong first summoned all the Liangshan leaders to the Hall of Gathering Righteousness for a secret military meeting. The atmosphere in the hall was heavy, and everyone's faces were solemn.

Wu Yong stood in the hall, gently waving his feather fan. His gaze swept over everyone as he slowly said, "Brothers, Gao Qiu and his son issued this challenge because they knew we would act rashly out of anger. But we will not let them have their way."

Wu Song spoke first: "Scholar Wu, just tell me straight, how should we deal with this?"

Wu Yong smiled slightly and said, "According to my plan, we can adopt the strategy of 'feinting to the east while attacking the west.' First, send an elite force to pretend to launch a frontal assault on Gao Qiu's army to attract the attention of his main force. In reality, another force will flank from the side and launch a surprise attack on his supply camp."

Everyone nodded in agreement, agreeing that the plan was feasible.

"Secondly, we can set a 'trap' on the route that Gao Qiu's army is bound to take," Wu Yong continued. "Dig deep pits, lay spikes, and then cover them with branches and withered grass. When his vanguard passes by, they will surely fall into them and be thrown into disarray."

"Wonderful!" Ruan Xiaoqi exclaimed.

"Thirdly, we should take advantage of the terrain of Liangshan." A shrewd glint flashed in Wu Yong's eyes. "We should send our brothers who are good at archery to ambush in the high places of the mountains and forests. When the enemy comes into range, we will fire a volley of arrows and catch them off guard."

Song Jiang continued, "This plan is excellent, but we must also be wary of Gao Qiu sending people to investigate."

Wu Yong nodded: "Brother, don't worry. I have arranged for Brother Shi Qian to lead a team to secretly monitor the enemy's surroundings. If any enemy spies are found, we will deal with them immediately."

"Then how should we allocate our troops?" Lin Chong asked.

After a moment's thought, Wu Yong said, "Brother Qin Ming will lead a team of fierce warriors as the vanguard, feigning a strong attack. Brothers Lu Zhishen and Wu Song will lead elite troops to flank from the side. Brother Hua Rong will lead archers to ambush in the mountains and forests. The rest of you brothers will stay with Brother Song and me in the central command, and adapt to the changing circumstances."

The group accepted the order and went to prepare.

Wu Yong then spoke privately with Dai Zong, instructing him: "Brother Dai Zong, you are fast on your feet, so you must keep a close eye on the enemy's movements and report back promptly."

Dai Zong nodded: "Don't worry, scholar, I will certainly not fail in my mission."

All around Liangshan, there was a flurry of activity. The sounds of soldiers drilling were constant, and supplies were being prepared at an accelerated pace.

Meanwhile, in the camp of Gao Qiu and his son.

Gao Qiu said triumphantly to Gao Yanei, "The Liangshan bandits will surely fall into the trap this time. Once my army arrives, we will wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Gao Yanei flattered, "Father is wise. How could those bandits from Liangshan be a match for you?"

However, they were unaware that Liangshan had made thorough preparations, and what awaited them was an unexpected and crushing defeat.

A few days later, Gao Qiu's army approached Liangshan.

Qin Ming led his vanguard troops in a fierce charge towards the enemy, as planned. Upon seeing this, Gao Qiu immediately dispatched his main force to meet the attack.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song's team had quietly circled around to the enemy's rear and headed straight for the supply camp.

Just as the Liangshan heroes were achieving an overwhelming victory in their battle against Gao Qiu's army, routing the enemy and forcing them to flee in disarray, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

Seeing that his side was in a disadvantageous situation, Wu Feng, a member of Gao Qiu's army, decided to take the opportunity to use his sorcery. He chanted incantations and waved his hands, and a strange black mist immediately rose around him.

Suddenly, thick smoke billowed from the direction of Liangshan's main camp, and flames shot into the sky. The fire spread rapidly, and tents were engulfed in flames one after another.

"Oh no! The main camp is on fire!" someone in the Liangshan camp exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Song Jiang and Wu Yong were startled. Wu Yong frowned and quickly thought of a solution: "This sorcery is coming on strong; we must find a way to put it out as soon as possible, or the consequences will be unimaginable!"

The Liangshan heroes were extremely anxious when they saw their camp on fire. However, they did not panic. Under Song Jiang's command, some continued to pursue the enemy, while others quickly returned to reinforce the camp.

Lu Zhishen brandished his monk's staff and roared, "This damned sorcery! I'll go and confront that sorcerer!" With that, he charged toward Wu Feng.

Wu Song quickly stopped him: "Brother Lu, don't be impulsive, saving the camp is the most important thing!"

At this time, the fire grew larger and larger, billowing thick smoke that made it difficult to breathe. The Liangshan heroes fought desperately to put out the fire, some carrying buckets of water, others holding wet cloths, trying to extinguish the blaze.

However, this demonic fire seemed unaffected by ordinary water, and its flames intensified instead of diminishing.

Wu Yong, in a moment of inspiration, said: "Quickly, cover it with sand!"

The heroes sprang into action, carrying sand and dumping it towards the source of the fire. After much effort, the fire was finally brought under control.

But Wu Feng would not give up so easily. He activated his magic again, and a gust of wind rose up. The fire, fueled by the wind, began to spread again.

"What should we do?" Li Kui stamped his feet in anxiety.

Just as everyone was extremely anxious, Gongsun Sheng arrived in time. Holding a whisk, he chanted an incantation, and a beam of light shot out from his hand, heading straight for Wu Feng.

Wu Feng felt the powerful magical impact, and his expression changed drastically.

Gongsun Sheng shouted, "You fiend, stop your arrogance!"

The two engaged in a fierce magical duel. The surrounding winds and clouds changed color, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Wu Feng snorted coldly: "Who goes there and dares to ruin my plans!"

Gongsun Sheng declared loudly, "I am Gongsun Sheng, and today I will break your sorcery and show you that justice cannot be deceived!"

Having said that, Gongsun Sheng launched the first attack. He waved his whisk, chanting incantations, and instantly, several beams of light shot out from the whisk, piercing straight at Wu Feng like sharp swords.

Wu Feng remained calm and composed, quickly forming hand seals. A black shield appeared in front of him, and light struck the shield, sparking bursts of sparks.

"A mere trick!" Wu Feng sneered, then waved his hands, and a plume of black smoke billowed from his sleeves, sweeping towards Gongsun Sheng. Faint cries of ghosts and wolves echoed from within the smoke, sending chills down one's spine.

Gongsun Sheng's expression was solemn. He stepped forward with a series of powerful movements, chanting incantations as his whisk drew a talisman in the air. The talisman shone with golden light, colliding with the black smoke and emitting a hissing sound. Under the illumination of the golden light, the black smoke gradually dissipated.

Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Wu Feng's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He clasped his hands together and chanted an even more complex incantation, making the surrounding air seem heavy. Then, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a black lightning bolt shot out from them, striking Gongsun Sheng directly.

Gongsun Sheng reacted quickly, dodging the lightning bolt with a flash. The lightning struck the ground, creating a large crater and sending dust flying.

"What a powerful sorcerer!" Gongsun Sheng was secretly shocked, but he did not back down. Instead, his fighting spirit was aroused.

Gongsun Sheng waved his whisk again, and this time the light on the whisk transformed into a huge white tiger, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced on Wu Feng.

Upon seeing this, Wu Feng's expression changed slightly. He moved his hands rapidly, and a huge black skull appeared in front of him, confronting the white tiger. The white tiger roared and pounced on the skull, the two biting each other, neither able to gain the upper hand for a time.

At this moment, dark clouds filled the sky, and lightning flashed and thunder roared. Gongsun Sheng and Wu Feng were both giving it their all, and the surrounding air currents became extremely turbulent.

Suddenly, Wu Feng bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The blood merged into the black skull, instantly making the skull even more ferocious and terrifying, greatly increasing its power and suppressing the white tiger.

Seeing this, Gongsun Sheng frowned deeply, knowing he couldn't delay any longer. He took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and poured all his magical power into the whisk. The whisk shone brightly, transforming into a giant sword. Gongsun Sheng gripped the sword with both hands and swung it forcefully at Wu Feng.

A powerful sword aura roared out, tearing the air apart in its path. Wu Feng sensed this immense power and tried to dodge, but it was too late. The sword aura struck the skull in front of him directly, shattering it instantly and turning it into a wisp of black smoke that vanished without a trace.

Wu Feng suffered a backlash, spitting out blood and turning pale. But he was still unwilling to give up and wanted to make a final struggle.

Gongsun Sheng gave Wu Feng no chance to catch his breath. He swung his sword again, and the sword energy attacked Wu Feng like a storm.

Wu Feng's eyes widened in terror as he tried to defend himself, but it was too late. Under Gongsun Sheng's powerful attack, Wu Feng's body was pierced by the sword energy, and he fell to the ground, unable to move any longer.

The fierce battle of magic finally ended in victory for Gongsun Sheng. The Liangshan heroes cheered upon seeing Wu Feng defeated.

Gongsun Sheng sheathed his sword, waved his whisk, and dispersed the surrounding dark clouds and smoke. He walked up to Song Jiang and the others and said, "Fortunately, we have not failed in our mission; the evil sorcerer has been eliminated."

Song Jiang said gratefully, "Master Gongsun has great magical powers. We were able to resolve this crisis thanks to him."

The moment Wu Feng was eliminated by Gongsun Sheng, Gao Yanei and Gao Qiu were immediately thrown into a panic. Gao Yanei's face turned deathly pale, his previously arrogant expression now replaced by fear, his body trembling uncontrollably, his eyes filled with despair and helplessness.

Gao Qiu also lost his former arrogance. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and his eyes darted around in a panic, trying to find a chance to escape.

At this moment, Wu Yong shouted, "Don't let Gao Yanei go!" His voice was loud and resolute, echoing across the battlefield.

Upon hearing Wu Yong's shout, Song Jiang immediately turned to look at Hua Rong. Hua Rong understood instantly, drew back his bowstring taut, and fixed his gaze on Gao Yanei.

With a determined look in his eyes, Song Jiang said to Hua Rong, "Brother Hua Rong, you must stop Gao Yanei and not let him escape."

Hua Rong nodded and replied, "Brother, don't worry, with me here, he won't escape." With that, he spurred his horse and charged off like an arrow.

Hua Rong rode his steed at breakneck speed toward Gao Yanei. His eyes were icy, and the bow and arrow in his hand gleamed coldly in the sunlight. Gao Yanei, seeing Hua Rong charging towards him, was terrified and frantically whipped his horse, trying to escape at top speed.

As Hua Rong chased after him, he shouted, "Gao Yanei, don't even think about escaping!" His voice was full of authority and domineering power.

As the distance drew ever closer, Hua Rong seized the opportunity and released the bowstring. A sharp arrow whistled through the air, flying straight towards Gao Yanei's mount.

A scream rang out as Gao Yanei's horse was struck by an arrow and fell to the ground. Gao Yanei was thrown violently and rolled several times on the ground.

Hua Rong arrived quickly, pointed his bow and arrow at the disheveled Gao Yanei, and said coldly, "You villain, today is your end."

Gao Yanei collapsed to the ground, his face ashen, trembling as he begged for mercy: "Hero, spare my life! Hero, spare my life!"

At this moment, the other heroes of Liangshan also gathered around and surrounded Gao Yanei.

Song Jiang and Wu Yong also arrived. Seeing Gao Yanei in dire straits, Song Jiang said, "Gao Yanei, you have committed many evils, and today you have finally fallen into our hands."

Gao Yanei was now powerless to resist and could only tremble in fear.
