Does Soga know the location of the silver mine?

Although it is not hit, it is not far away.

After all, the Soga clan has been operating in the Wa Kingdom for several generations, and the Wa Kingdom itself does not have much space. He still knows a little about where there is gold and silver. However, he could not estimate the output of the mineral deposits, limited by the level of technology, and at the same time, he could not mine it due to the level of technology. At the current metallurgical level, the Wa Kingdom can only barely mine 'dog head gold', which is the kind of gold washed out of the river and has a relatively high purity, and they do not have the mining technology for gold ore.

The place where Soga Ezo was painted is an existing mine pit in the Wa country. A lot of silver was mined from this mine. He chose this place in order to gain Li Mu's trust, because he knew that Li Mu would definitely come to understand, and if there was no silver mine here, he would not be able to fall for it.

In addition, the terrain here is very suitable for ambushes, with mountains on both sides and ravines in the middle, and you only need to ambush people and horses on the mountainsides on both sides, and you can easily wrap the enemy in dumplings.

Su I Ezo has never seen the Tang Army, and I don't know how powerful the Tang Army is. But when he was young, he had seen the army of the Sui Dynasty. He knew that if he didn't set up an ambush, his men and horses would definitely not be able to defeat the Sui Dynasty army. And the Tang army defeated the Sui army, and he had no confidence at all.

Therefore, he can only do this by the means, of course, with Su I Ezo's moral standards, he doesn't feel that he has any next work.

Success and defeat are like this in ancient times.

Soga Ezo is an old fox, and he knows that the bait that is too easy to get, the fish will not easily eat. So in the end, he did not choose to kneel and lick directly, on the contrary, he ordered to restrain the people of the Japanese country, and no one was allowed to mention the news about the silver mines, and at the same time gave Li Mu a book, in addition to flattery, vaguely asked what the purpose of the trip was, and he wanted to break the fortune and avoid disasters, and offered a treasure to let the fleet leave.

Li Mu came with a purpose, how could he leave easily? As Su I Ezo thought, Li Mu ignored Su I Ezo's letter and was still inquiring about the silver mine. Finally, in a small fishing village off the coast of Honshu Island, the Tang people met an old miner and learned that there was a silver pit in the San'in area of Honshu Island that had been mined for about 100 years.

Subsequently, under the watchful eye of the eyeliner sent by Soga Ezo, the two brocade guards followed the old miner to the vicinity of the mine.

Three days later, the fleet docked, rested for a day on the beach, and about 200 men left the camp and hurried to the mine.

……

The dock is located from the mine, and the fast horse only takes a day. But the team of 200 people, with a lot of mining tools, obviously could not go so fast. Soga Ezo had plenty of time to set traps, and he placed dozens of eyeliners along the way, almost every few miles, one of his eyeliners. He knows all the movements of the Tang people.

"About half of the Tang people came to the mines, and about half of them stayed behind...... It's still cautious, "Su I Ezo sighed, on the map he drew himself, more than half of his life, he had never felt so excited. This time, his opponent is no longer those fools of the Wa Kingdom, his opponents have become the Tang people, the high-ranking Central Plains people, if he tastes defeat in the Wa Kingdom, then he is the hero of the Wa Kingdom, and will forever be recorded in the history of the Wa Kingdom.

"It seems like a safe arrangement, but it's actually stupid." Su I Ezo sneered: "If it were me, with such a powerful fleet, I would put eighty percent of the men and horses down to make sure that nothing went wrong, and the ships would retreat to the sea, retreat to the sea, and no one would be able to pose a threat to such a large fleet." Looking at this commander, he is a person who has never fought a war, but it is a pity that such a majestic fleet of the Tang Dynasty is managed by such a person, it seems that the Heavenly Empire is not as famous as meeting each other——"

The subordinates hurriedly flattered, Su I Ezo enjoyed it for a while, waved his hand to interrupt a group of sycophants, and said: "The plan to divide the troops is very stupid, and it seems that many of my preparations are not needed." He looked at one of his subordinates next to him and said, "Kameda, where have the Tang people gone now?" ”

"Back to the Lord, in half a day, you will be able to reach us."

"Then go and prepare, dig more traps on the mountainside, when they find you, they will definitely go up the mountain to fight you, dig more traps, so that they can't go up the mountain, you shoot arrows from the mountain, if you can still lose in this way, you don't have to live."

"Hayi!" Kameda half-knelt on the ground, saluted, got up and left to prepare.

"What about the people who stayed in the camp of the Tang people? Yamamoto-kun, is your spy back? ”

"Back to the Lord, my people have already been arranged. As long as the Lord gives an order, my men will rush into the Tang camp and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor behind! ”

"Stupid!" Su I Ezo slapped his subordinates on the head and rebuked, "Do you have to use a more stupid way to deal with a group of fools?" You led people to rush in and fight, you are the opponent of the Tang people? Don't use a little brain? ”

Yamamoto was stunned, his eyes showed a puzzled look, and when Su I Ezo had enough, he dared to ask: "Lord, the last general is stupid, I really can't think of what to do, please show the lord!" ”

"When they went ashore, how did they solve the problem of eating and drinking?"

This Yamamoto knew and said, "The spies reported that they had a lot of grain on their ship and cooked their own food. ”

"Where's the water?"

"Water ......," Yamamoto thought for a while, and said, "It must have been dug from a well in a nearby fishing village, and the spies have seen that every morning, several trucks carry water into it." ”

Su I Ezo sneered: "Wouldn't it be okay to take the poison, throw it into the water, and poison them to death?" Why fight and kill?! ”

"Ahh Yamamoto suddenly smirked: "It's still the lord's wisdom, this method is good!" ”

"Go ahead and do it!" Su I Ezo waved his hand impatiently, talking to this group of stupid and stupid subordinates, always so tired and panicked!

……

Li Mu took Li Chongyi and the Jinyi guards, followed the guide, and set out to find the silver pit in his mouth. And all the affairs of the camp were handed over to Shopkeeper Xiao, and let him watch the arrangements. Halfway through, Li Chongyi finally couldn't help it and said, "Big brother, I think this matter is fraudulent." ”

"Oh?" Li Mu raised his eyelids and said, "How can there be a fraud?" ”

"I don't know, but when Master taught me the art of war, he told me a lot of stories. When I heard those stories, I just felt cheating. "The master that Li Chongyi said is a bearded guest. He is an all-round scholar and martial artist, and he also has a deep study of the art of war. It is said that Li Jing's art of war is a military book given by a bearded guest. Li Chongyi has a straightforward temperament, not so many fancy intestines, in fact, he is not very suitable for studying the art of war, but he has some talents that cannot be explained. Although he couldn't understand it, he felt very accurate.

Li Mu knew what Li Chongyi's situation was, and he didn't blame him for not understanding, but just smiled and said, "Do you really believe in these devils?" ”

These days, because he couldn't find the location of the silver mine, Li Mu was so angry that he became a 'devil' to the people of the Japanese country. No one understands what the devil means. Yixiu also specially asked Li Mu, but Li Mu just explained that this was a contempt for the enemy.

"I'm just going to do it, instead of us looking for it like a fly, it's better to catch a big one and let him help us find it."

Li Chongyi showed a confused look and said; "Big brother, I didn't understand."

"Heh, it's not that difficult." Li Mu explained to him, "Think back, what are the Japanese people we met along the way, what are they like when they see us?" ”

Li Chongyi thought for a while and said, "Cowardly! Fear? ”

"yes, that's it." Li Mu said with a smile: "The Japanese people are short, and they can hardly catch up with our ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty, and our brocade guards and sailors, they are all men who have been picked and chosen, and selected and chosen. is a head taller and a little stronger than our ordinary people. Under the advantages of one or the other, it seems to be much stronger than them. Moreover, they know that we are Tang people, and they are afraid in their bones. When we talk to them, they are all dodgy, afraid to look us in the eye. ”

"And the old miner seemed to be very talkative. It was completely different from the Japanese people we met along the way, and I became suspicious. ”
