Transmigrating to the Song Dynasty: Water Margin Business Management

Wu Yong gently waved his feather fan and slowly said, "Manager Zhao, according to my plan, we can first send people to set up sentries along the caravan's route to closely monitor their every move. At the same time, we can send a team of elite soldiers disguised as ordinary civilians to infiltrate the surrounding villages and gather more information about the caravan. In addition, we also need to strengthen the defense of the camp to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack."

Zhao Tianming nodded in agreement and immediately proceeded to implement Wu Yong's plan.

Meanwhile, Gao Qiu was anxious upon learning that Jia Fu's caravan had been discovered by the Song army. He consulted with Gao Ke, a general of the Liao army, and decided to speed up their operation.

Gao Ke dispatched a troop of elite Liao soldiers to join forces with Jia Fu's caravan, preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Song army camp. At the same time, Gao Ke also secretly contacted Japanese ninjas, requesting their assistance in the operation.

On a dark and windy night, the Liao army and Jia Fu's caravan stealthily approached the Song army camp. However, the Song army's scouts had already discovered their movements and quickly reported back to the camp.

Zhao Tianming and Wu Yong were well-prepared and commanded their soldiers to be on high alert.

The Liao army and caravan arrived at the camp, ready to launch an attack, but found the Song army was already prepared. Gao Ke cursed, "Damn it, someone must have leaked the information!"

But the die was cast, and there was no turning back. Gao Ke ordered a full-scale attack.

Liao soldiers surged towards the Song army camp like a tidal wave, their battle cries deafening. Song soldiers fought back fiercely, arrows raining down, and the two sides were locked in a fierce battle.

Just then, a group of Japanese ninjas dressed in black suddenly appeared. They were agile and used various strange techniques to break through the Song army's defenses, causing considerable trouble for the Song army.

Upon seeing this, Lu Zhishen roared, "You Japanese pirates, stop being so arrogant!" With that, he brandished his monk's staff and charged toward the ninja.

Wu Song was not to be outdone, and he engaged in a fierce battle with the ninja, wielding his twin swords.

Wu Yong calmly directed the operation from the rear, allocating troops and stabilizing the situation.

On the battlefield, swords clashed and blood splattered everywhere.

Song Jiang led a group of soldiers to circle around to the rear of the Liao army and launched a surprise attack, disrupting the Liao army's formation.

Lu Junyi then commanded the archers to concentrate their firepower on killing Liao army generals, leaving the Liao army leaderless and in chaos.

After a fierce battle, the Liao army and the caravan gradually lost ground and began to collapse.

Seeing the situation was dire, Gao Ke led his remaining troops in retreat. The Japanese ninjas also fled the battlefield.

The Song army achieved a partial victory, but they knew that the enemy would not give up easily, and even more arduous battles were yet to come.

Looking at the departing enemy troops, Zhao Tianming said with a firm expression, "Soldiers, we must defend the border and protect our homeland!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, their morale high.

The good news quickly reached the palace. When Emperor Huizong heard that the Liao Kingdom had been temporarily defeated, the gloom that had been hanging over him for days vanished, and his mood instantly brightened.

"My soldiers are commendable for their loyalty and bravery!" Emperor Huizong exclaimed with great joy.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered Eunuch Chen to take fine wine, delicacies, and generous rewards to the front lines to reward Zhao Tianming and the others.

After receiving the imperial decree, Eunuch Chen immediately led a team loaded with supplies and set off. Along the way, Eunuch Chen was filled with anticipation, eager to witness firsthand the heroic bearing of the soldiers on the front lines.

Inside the Liao camp, Gao Ke and other generals sat together with grim expressions, discussing how to launch a counterattack.

"This defeat is truly frustrating!" Gao Ke slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"The Song army's defenses are tight this time, we cannot attack rashly," a general said.

Another general suggested, "Why don't we send out spies to infiltrate the Song army, gather intelligence, and then act when the opportunity arises?"

Gao Ke pondered for a moment and nodded: "This plan is feasible, but we need to select a clever person."

So they carefully selected several spies, disguised and trained them, and prepared to send them to the Song army camp.

At this time, Eunuch Chen and his party had already arrived at the front line.

When Zhao Tianming and the others learned that the Emperor had sent Eunuch Chen to offer rewards, they all came out to greet him.

"Eunuch Chen, you must have had a long journey," Zhao Tianming said.

Eunuch Chen said with a smile, "Generals, you have fought bravely to protect our country. This trip of mine was not arduous. This is His Majesty's reward. Please accept it."

The soldiers cheered and their morale soared.

However, what they didn't know was that Liao spies had already secretly infiltrated the crowd.

The spies secretly observed the Song army's defenses and troop deployments, searching for their weaknesses.

A few days later, the spies relayed the intelligence they had gathered back to the Liao camp.

Gao Ke looked at the intelligence report in his hand, a cold smile appearing on his lips: "Hmph, this time we'll definitely teach the Song army a lesson!"

The Liao Kingdom once again amassed a large army, preparing to launch a new round of attacks.

Zhao Tianming and his men, unaware of the potential crisis, continued to strengthen their defenses and stand ready for battle.

While Zhao Tianming and others were busy strengthening their defenses and were completely unaware of the Liao spies' infiltration, Gao Ke had already reached a further cooperation agreement with the leader of the Japanese ninjas, Jōjun.

Inside the Liao army's tent, Gao Ke looked at Jiao He Jingchun with a serious expression and said, "Mr. Jincun, this operation is of great importance. If it succeeds, there will be a generous reward."

Jiao Hen Jingchun bowed slightly and replied in a cold tone, "General Gao, rest assured, we will do our utmost."

Gao Ke spread a map on the table and pointed to several points on it, saying, "These are the weak points in the Song army's defenses. I will send troops to launch a feigned attack on other places to attract the Song army's attention, while you lead your ninja troops to sneak in through these weak points at night, burn their supplies, and create chaos."

Kogoro carefully examined the map, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "Understood, General Gao. My ninjas will definitely complete the mission."

As night fell, the Liao army camp was bustling with activity. Gao Ke deployed his troops, preparing to proceed according to plan. Meanwhile, Jiao Gen Jing Chun, leading a group of masked Japanese ninjas dressed in black, silently advanced towards the Song army camp.

At this moment, in the Song army camp, Zhao Tianming was discussing the next strategic move with Wu Yong and others.

“Mr. Wu Yong, although we have repelled the Liao army this time, I still feel that they will not let this go,” Zhao Tianming said worriedly.

Wu Yong nodded: "General, you are absolutely right. We need to strengthen our defenses to prevent a surprise attack by the enemy."

At this moment, there was a sudden cry of killing outside.

"Oh no, the Liao army is attacking!" a soldier reported.

Zhao Tianming's expression hardened: "Everyone to your positions, prepare for battle!"

The Song army sprang into action, archers taking their positions, ready to shoot down the invading enemy. However, they discovered that the Liao army was merely shouting from afar and had not actually launched a charge.

"What's going on? What are the Liao army up to?" Song Jiang asked, puzzled.

A sense of unease welled up in Wu Yong's heart: "I'm afraid this is a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Everyone should be careful."

Just then, the ninjas led by Jōjun had quietly approached the Song army's supply camp. They were agile and evaded the patrolling soldiers, quickly infiltrating the camp.

A Song soldier inadvertently spotted a dark figure and was about to shout when the ninja slit his throat. However, his dying struggles still caught the attention of the other soldiers.

"Enemy attack!" the soldier shouted.

The supply camp was thrown into chaos. The ninjas set fires everywhere, and the flames spread rapidly.

Upon learning of the attack on the supply camp, Zhao Tianming was greatly alarmed: "This is bad! Quickly, go and rescue the supply camp!"

Lu Junyi led a group of men to the supply camp and engaged in a fierce battle with the ninjas.

The ninjas of Jingchun were highly skilled in martial arts and their moves were unpredictable, so for a time Lu Junyi and his group were unable to gain the upper hand.

"Brothers, we must protect the grain supplies even at the cost of our lives!" Lu Junyi shouted.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a ninja took advantage of the chaos to fire a rocket, setting more supplies ablaze.

The raging fire illuminated the night sky, and the Song army was in dire straits.

Wu Yong anxiously pondered a solution in the main camp: "These ninjas are up to no good. We must find their leader as soon as possible and capture the king first."

At this moment, Jōshun was standing on high ground, directing the ninjas' actions.

With his keen intuition, Wu Song discovered the location of Jingchun's heel.

"Look over there, that must be their leader!" Wu Song said, leaping towards Jingchun at his feet.

Seeing this, Jingchun stepped forward to meet Wu Song. The two instantly clashed, their swords flashing and their fight fierce and evenly matched.

Meanwhile, Gao Ke saw the grain and supplies camp ablaze and assumed the ninjas had succeeded, so he ordered the Liao army to launch a full-scale attack.

The Song army was attacked from both sides, and the situation was critical.

On the battlefield, Zhao Tianming fought valiantly, shouting to boost morale: "Soldiers, our homeland is behind us, we must not retreat!"

At this critical moment, Lu Zhishen suddenly discovered a weakness in the Liao army.

"Brothers, charge with me!" Lu Zhishen led a squad of soldiers to attack the Liao army's weak points, disrupting their offensive rhythm.

The battlefield was in chaos, and life and death hung by a thread.

Lu Zhishen's troops successfully disrupted the Liao army's offensive rhythm, giving the Song army a chance to regroup. The fierce battle between Wu Song and Jiaogenjin Village also entered a heated phase. Both were heavily wounded, but Wu Song gradually gained the upper hand with his tenacious will and superb martial arts skills.

Just as Wu Song was about to deliver a fatal blow to Jiao Hen Jin Village, several ninjas risked their lives to protect their leader and escaped the battlefield with Jiao Hen Jin Village.

Seeing the enemy troops begin to retreat, Zhao Tianming decisively ordered a pursuit: "Don't let them escape, kill them!"

The Song army's morale soared, and they pressed their advantage, inflicting heavy losses on the Liao army, who abandoned their armor and weapons.

However, Gao Ke was unwilling to accept defeat. He led his remaining troops in a fighting retreat, reorganizing the defense line.

"Damn it, this plan has failed!" Gao Ke roared.

At this point, the Song army also stopped their pursuit, as they had also suffered considerable losses and needed to regroup.

Back at the camp, Zhao Tianming and Wu Yong began to take stock of the casualties and losses.

"Although we repelled the enemy this time, we lost most of our food supplies, and the days ahead will be tough," Wu Yong said worriedly.

Zhao Tianming frowned: "No matter what, we must hold our ground and wait for the imperial court's support."

On the other side, the escaped footsteps entered the village and met Gao Ke again.

"This was my mistake; I didn't expect the Song army to be so tenacious," said the village head.

Gao Ke gritted his teeth: "Hmph, we will not give up. We will continue to think of ways to break through the Song army's defenses."

They began plotting an even more insidious attack, while the Song army nervously prepared for the impending new challenge. The flames of war continued to burn on the border, and the dawn of peace had yet to appear.
