Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

Batch after batch of spears, after a long journey, successfully arrived at Heihuling, and the soldiers finally replaced the sticks in their hands.

The matter of military training was handed over to Liu Xuan and Zhou Wenlai.

Yang Zhi often talked to Li Zhao about how rich the Zhang family outside Liucheng was, and there were no less than one million taels of silver in the palace; once they were captured, the Zhaowu army could expand its army and increase its strength dramatically.

Li Zhao was quite moved when he heard this, and urged Liu Xuan to speed up the training of troops and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. At the same time, there was also a trace of doubt in his heart, Yang Zhi seemed to be paying too much attention to the Zhang family.

Most of the time on the Black Tiger Ridge, Li Zhao was concentrating on making money and food, and basically tried all the methods he could think of.

A few days ago, I heard that there are several ancient tombs in the deep mountains and old forests of Hanzhong; He sent someone to look for it, hoping to dig up something valuable. I searched for a few days and nights, but unfortunately I didn't find anything. Although he hasn't given up yet, there is no Captain Jin on the mountain, and it is estimated that there is little hope.

In order to expand the financial route, the Zhaowu army often ambushed some small roads around Heihuling and plundered passers-by. If there are young and strong among them, they will be directly incorporated into the Zhaowu Army. Unfortunately, as expected, the gain was not big.

Occasionally, people take the initiative to vote because of poverty, and Heihuling also accepts all of them.

A month later, Liu Xuan told Li Zhao that as long as the opponent was not a well-trained officer and soldier, the Zhaowu army could barely fight under the condition of equal numbers.

In order to enhance the actual combat ability, Yang Zhi led the way, and Zhou Wen led the troops, annexing two smaller cottages nearby.

After this battle, the Zhaowu army expanded to more than 800 people, and only more than 100 people used long knives, and the rest were pikemen.

There are too many people, but there is not enough food to eat. The money that was snatched from outside Nanzheng City last time has basically been spent.

Wang Zichen roughly counted that the current grain on the mountain can only last for about a month at most.

Li Zhao was in a heavy mood, and he couldn't think of where to get food for a while.

Yang Zhi instigated Li Zhao again, "There are less than 1,000 soldiers in the Zhang family's mansion, and the number is currently about the same as that of the Zhaowu army. Since the marshal has no food, why not capture Zhangfu. There is a lot of money and food in his mansion, and once he wins, the marshal can not only solve the food problem, but also recruit troops and horses to strengthen the Zhaowu army.

"Most of our army are new soldiers, but many of the soldiers in Zhang's mansion are wearing elite armor, how can they win the war? And his mansion is built like a pillbox, and there are even more than a dozen bed crossbows on the wall. Flesh and blood, it is difficult to resist a strong bow and crossbow. Zhou Wen objected.

"Even if this battle is tough, you have to grit your teeth and fight it. It has been nearly two months since the commander came to Heihuling, and he has only expanded his troops by two or three hundred. Didn't the marshal say that he wanted to accomplish a great cause? At the current pace, I am afraid that he will never be able to do it. Besides, there is not much food in the army, so it is better to give it a go than to starve to death. Yang Zhidao.

Li Zhao's heart fell into deep thought, he had always felt that the Zhaowu army was not strong enough to attack the Zhang family's mansion. But Yang Zhi's words woke him up, and the progress of the Zhaowu Army was too slow. Li Zhao can wait, but what about the others? Especially those soldiers from the Yongwang Mansion, who had no worries about food or clothing in the palace before. Now that they have come to the poor Black Tiger Ridge, they are really willing to live this kind of hard life all the time.

He decided to fight this battle, even if the move was a bit radical, but if he didn't open up the situation again, I am afraid that the people's hearts would be scattered.

Li Zhao said in a deep voice: "Pass on my military orders and train the troops diligently." A month later, the whole army attacked the Zhang family's mansion.

Yang Zhi's face was happy, "The handsome man is wise, this battle will be won."

Wang Zichen was still a little hesitant, "The risk of this battle is not small, if we lose, we are afraid that we will die and have no place to die."

"I've made up my mind, and I don't have to talk about it anymore. Li Zhao has a resolute attitude and will fight this battle no matter what.

When the people saw it, they could not persuade it, and they said no more.

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

Heihuling quickly entered the preparation mode, and every day after that, Li Zhao got up in the dark and watched the soldiers train. If someone is found to be lazy, he will be severely punished in public. I didn't stop training until it got dark.

Maybe it's because the training intensity is too high, and the food in the cottage is eaten quickly. I thought I could last for more than a month, but according to the latest statistics, at most more than 20 days, the cottage will run out of food.

While the soldiers were training hard, Liu Xuan led people and spent several days to find out the marching route and the terrain around the Zhang family's mansion. Even when the door of his mansion will be opened, and how many soldiers are standing on the wall, it is basically clear.

This battle is related to Li Zhao's life, and he can't help but care.

When everyone discussed tactics, they all agreed that they must not attack by force, otherwise the casualties would be too great. You must try to trick yourself into opening the door of the mansion and then rush into the mansion quickly to solve the problem.

Wang Zichen had a plan, every few days, several carriages would transport firewood for the mansion, and the soldiers could hide the firewood in it, so as to infiltrate the Zhang mansion.
