Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

On this day, Li Zhao, as usual, asked Liu Xuan how his training progress was when he watched the training of the soldiers.

Liu Xuan said: "Qi Yu Dashuai, if you want to compare with the elite soldiers of Qi State, it will take a while.

"Well, you can train a little harder, and you can train a little bit longer every day.

"The last general understands

, it's just ........." Li Zhao saw Liu Xuan's look of wanting to speak and stopped, and asked: "What's the matter, it's okay to say it directly." "

Dashuai, isn't it a little too anxious. Liu Xuan finally said what was in his heart.

"You'll understand later, do as I say.

"Yes.

Li Zhao looked at it again for a while, and then left.

Liu Xuan said just now that Li Zhao was a little too anxious, but in fact, he was not the only one who thought so, many people held the same opinion.

Since coming to Black Tiger Ridge, more than half a year has passed.

Li Zhao's way of life has not changed much, and he is too monotonous, and all day long he is either trying to find ways to make money and food, or urging his subordinates to hurry up the training of soldiers; this has caused great pressure on his subordinates.

Wang Zichen once told him that there are many places in Hanzhong with good scenery. You can go and relax by having a visit.

In order to make Li Zhao easier, Deng Xin also bought him several young girls from Nanzheng.

Li Zhao sank into the gentle township, and in just a few days, he resumed his former work rhythm.

When he first came to Hanzhong, Li Zhao planned to develop slowly and accumulate strength little by little in three or four years. Learn from Zhu Yuanzhang's set, build a high wall and accumulate grain, and slowly become a king. After the strength grows, find the right opportunity to seize Hanzhong in one fell swoop. Anyway, he's still young, he has time, so there's no need to make himself so tired.

But Yang Zhi told him that because of Wang Jing's stupidity, there was about to change in Hanzhong. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity, you will regret it.

Li Zhao was helpless, what should have been done in three or four years, he had to compress it into one or two years. The time is greatly shortened, and things are bound to be more difficult.

At present, the Zhaowu Army occupies three cottages, Heihuling, Huangtouling, and Xihengling, with a total strength of more than 12,000 people.

could have recruited more soldiers, but Li Zhao took the initiative to stop. The reason is very simple, the last MLM-style recruitment method was really scary.

Some of the recruits who had just been recruited through this method immediately went down the mountain after registering and encouraged their relatives and friends to join the Zhaowu army; when their relatives and friends came, they learned that as long as they brought people, they would get money, and the more people they brought, the more rewards they would give. So he ran to continue to pull people, even if the other party was in other cottages, he had to pull over desperately, and so on for .............

Everyone is as enthusiastic as fire, and they are happy to pull people's heads on the road.

Li Zhao couldn't hold it anymore, and various problems followed.

Food, money, ordnance,

where are these things going? Just think about it.

There is no such thing as a "system". Not only that, as a traverser, Li Zhao lacks the relevant skills that a traverser should have. He doesn't know how to make soap, he doesn't make mirrors, he doesn't make wine, he doesn't know anything about women's bras, he can't make reinforced concrete, anything like that. If you don't admit it, you will be ashamed of the traverser.

Li Zhao couldn't understand either, why did other traversers understand so many things, this is not scientific, are they all scholars?"

This is true not only in modern times, but also in ancient times.

Since you can't make anything beyond this era, and you can make money by doing business to support your family, this road will not work.

If you want to grow your power, you must continue to recruit soldiers. The problem is that Li Zhao is running out of money.

So I called a group of generals in the army, and everyone brainstormed together, and they couldn't find a solution.

As soon as Li Zhao finished saying this, everyone was a little confused.

After a while, Deng Xin said: "But in the dangerous places in the mountains, you can ambush and plunder the rich merchants passing by." "

You can give it a try, but I don't think it will have much effect. "I've tried this trick a long time ago, and it's basically useless. There are so many mountain bandits in Hanzhong, and the powerful families have long learned to be smart, and they will not stupidly carry a large amount of silver taels and pass through the deep mountains.

Shen Ning said slowly: "I have a way, but this plan is a bit dangerous. "

It's okay, say boldly. "

Dashuai knows, I am from the Nanzheng Shen clan. The family has been based in Nanzheng for 100 years.

Li Zhao's eyes lit up, "Could it be that the Shen family will lend a hand."

Shen Ning had a slight embarrassment on his face, "It's not." "

Oh. Li Zhao was a little disappointed.

Shen Ning continued: "When I was still in the Shen family, I knew one thing. Because in recent years, Hanzhong has become more and more chaotic. Some families will raise a group of family soldiers outside the city, and the family soldiers will protect the safety of the road. In the cottage where these soldiers lived, there was usually a large amount of money and food. For example, the Nanzheng Deng clan raised hundreds of soldiers in a cottage outside the city. "

Why don't the soldiers keep them in the city, but in the cottage outside the city?" Li Zhao wondered.

"First, there are a large number of soldiers in the family, and they need to train or rest, and there is not enough space in the city. Second, these Nanzheng clans secretly have some shady businesses that cannot be traded in the city, such as human trafficking, smuggling of ordnance, etc.

"But the cottage is outside Nanzheng City, so close to the officers and soldiers, don't you worry about being hit by

the officers and soldiers?" "With the financial resources of the Deng family, the officers and soldiers have already been bought. As long as they do not rebel, the officers and soldiers will turn a blind eye. Moreover, hundreds of family soldiers could not threaten Nanzheng at all. Shen Ning explained.

"Are you sure there is a large amount of money and grain from the Deng family in the cottage?" Li Zhao looked at Shen Ning fixedly.

"I don't know for sure, but I'm at least 80% sure.

Li Zhao was overjoyed, "Do you know where the Deng family soldiers are located, and where it is."

"Ten miles northwest of Nanzheng, it's not hard to find here. Shen Ning said again: "If you want to do it, it's best at night." Moreover, it is necessary to fight a quick battle, and once it drags on, it is very easy to attract officers and soldiers.

"Qi Jingyun and Liu Xuan, you two send someone to investigate, and then send troops as soon as possible. "

Yes, we will do it as soon as possible. Liu Xuan said.

Shen Ning was surprised in his heart, the idea was his, but Li Zhao asked others to do it.

After thinking about it again, Shen Ning understood what was going on. Not long after he joined the cottage, Li Zhao treated him well, but he didn't fully trust him.

...............................................

Liu Xuan and Qi Jingyun quickly found the cottage where the Deng family soldiers were located. The terrain of this cottage is not precipitous, it is guarded during the day and the defense is lax at night.

After careful discussion, the two took more than 2,000 people and quietly approached here.

The leader of the cottage is called Deng Xia, although he is also surnamed Deng, but he has already come out of five suits. Over the years, he has won the trust of the head of the Deng family.

Because there has been nothing to do in the past few days, I went to the restaurant in the city to drink some wine during the day, and went to bed early after I came back.

In the middle of the night, Liu Xuan and Qi Jingyun had already led people to the outside of the cottage. Send out crossbowmen and shoot the doorkeepers with ease.

This place is closer to Nanzheng, in order to prevent people from going to the city to report the news, Qi Jingyun sent people to block the exit.

When you enter the cottage, you will cut people when you see them. Many soldiers lost their lives in their sleep. As the movement became louder and louder, many soldiers were woken up. In a panic, some people tried to escape, and some people drew knives and fought with the Zhaowu army.

Liu Xuan forced the family soldiers, asked the location of the commander Deng Xia, and immediately led the troops to kill.

Deng Xia was not woken up by the movement outside, and did not wake up suddenly until a subordinate reported that the cottage had been attacked. With a long knife in hand, he rushed out of the house.

It happened that Liu Xuan had already been killed, and the two fought in an instant.

Deng Xia's martial arts are not bad, I don't know if it's because of the drinking, and his movements are slightly sluggish. In just ten moves, he was slashed in the arm by Liu Xuan, and then stabbed a few times, and soon fell in a pool of blood.

Liu Xuan cut off Deng Xia's head and showed it to everyone. The Deng family soldiers lost their will to fight in an instant and surrendered one after another.

Led by a family soldier, find the storehouse of the cottage. Yang Zhi and Liu Xuan were delighted that there were indeed more than a dozen boxes of silver in the cottage. Although there is not much food, if you have money, you will naturally have food. In addition to this, there are some long knives and armor.

The two were worried that the killing sound here would attract Nan Zheng's officers and soldiers. Don't dare to delay, take all the prisoners and captures, and return to Black Tiger Ridge.

Seeing that the two of them returned safely, Li Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. After statistics, there was not much grain, but there were no less than 80,000 taels of silver. The large number made Li Zhao very happy.

Although the number of these ordnances brought from the cottage is not very large, it is enough to equip more than 100 people.

"When you come back, do you pay attention to eliminating traces?" asked Li Zhao.

"Don't worry, I have people at the back of the line, erasing the footprints of the march. More than 500 people were captured, and all of them were brought, and there were no living people in the cottage. Qi Jingyun said.
