Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

After everyone arrived, Li Zhao said that he went to Nanzheng to loot.

Everyone was a little hesitant, feeling that this matter was a bit risky. Zhou Wendao: "After we succeed, if we quickly escape into the dense forest, is Mr. Yang familiar with the surrounding routes?"

"I have been to Nanzheng many times, so I am naturally clear. And the time to start is in the evening, and we can also use the cover of the night to get rid of the Nanzheng defenders. Yang Zhi said confidently.

Li Zhao has made up his mind, "Yang Zhi, Liu Xuan, and Wang Zichen will take three hundred people to set off with me." Zhou Wen and Zhao Xincai stayed behind in Heihuling. "

Yes, Your Highness. "

There is one more thing, inform me to go down, don't call me Your Highness in the future, my identity as the prince of King Yong is estimated to have been abolished by His Majesty." I am the generalissimo of the Zhaowu Army, just call me the generalissimo. "

Yes, Sir. Li

Zhao originally planned to leave in the morning, but Yang Zhi suggested that the action should start in the middle of the night, otherwise it would be difficult to rush to Nanzheng in advance.

Of the 300 people he brought along, 100 of them were from Chang'an. These people are well-trained, and even Donggong dares to break in, and they are the main force in this attack. The other 200 recruits were all brought to training.

The mountain road was really difficult to walk, Li Zhao walked ten miles and was forced to stop to rest. Let everyone eat some dry food to recover their strength.

Some of the recruits did not show fatigue on their faces, but Li Zhao's early team looked tired.

The reason is simple, these recruits are locals, often go up the mountain, and have long been accustomed to rough and difficult mountain roads.

Towards evening, the Zhaowu army arrived at the valley that Yang Zhi had mentioned. In order to better conceal himself, Li Zhao ordered everyone to hide in the grass.

But some of the new pawns are not very disciplined. I can't stand the loneliness and stand up from time to time. Li Zhao was furious, this place was only three miles away from Nanzheng, and if it was discovered by the defenders, the whole army would be in danger. ordered Liu Xuan to immediately kill the soldiers who did not abide by military discipline, and everyone was frightened when they saw this, and they did not dare to move again.

The crowd waited for an hour, during which time many pedestrians and carriages passed through the valley. Yang Zhi suggested that Li Zhao continue to wait, these carriages were not guarded, and the pedestrians passing by were plainly dressed, and it was estimated that they did not have much money, so it was not worth starting.

Until it was almost dark, several wagons passed through the valley, and the convoy was accompanied by fifty guards.

Yang Zhi hurriedly said: "Dashuai, you can start."

Li Zhao nodded and looked at Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan immediately commanded three hundred Zhaowu troops, entered the valley in two ways, and blocked both ends of the valley.

The leader of the convoy was taken aback, completely unexpectedly encountering mountain bandits here.

"Hand over the things in the car and get out of here!" Liu Xuan said sharply.

The leader gritted his teeth and said angrily: "This is the convoy of the Nanzheng Deng clan, and the head of the family has a very good relationship with Lord Thorn Shi. If you dare to plunder, I am afraid that you will die without a place to bury.

Liu Xuan stopped talking nonsense, and three hundred people rushed up.

And the fifty guards in the convoy are all family soldiers raised by the Deng family, and their skills are not bad. One of them broke through the interception of the Zhaowu army and went straight to Nanzheng, intending to call the defenders.

Li Zhao was in a hurry, and he had to fight quickly, so he also rushed in with a knife.

Liu Xuan set his sights on the leader of the team, and the other party's martial arts were not bad. When the two were fighting fiercely, they were attacked by other Zhaowu soldiers, and they were stabbed in the right leg, and their movements became sluggish. Liu Xuan seized the opportunity and plunged the long knife into his chest.

Seeing that the leader was killed, and that the Zhaowu army had an absolute numerical advantage, the rest of the convoy scattered and fled for their lives.

"Quickly move the wooden box in the car, Mo Yan delayed. Li Zhao said urgently.

The wooden box is a little heavy, but fortunately the box is not very large, and one person can barely move it.

Everyone hurriedly burrowed into the mountains and forests and rushed towards the Black Tiger Ridge. Wang Zichen was careful and arranged for more than a dozen people to wipe their footprints behind the team.

Shi Mu, the general of Nanzheng, was shocked and angry when he learned that there were people looting outside the city. Although there are many mountain bandits in the deep mountains of Hanzhong, no one has ever dared to plunder near Nanzheng.

personally led people out of the city to hunt down Li Zhao and others.

After chasing for half an hour, because it was dark and the visibility in the mountains was too poor, he was forced to give up the search.

Li Zhao ran too fast, tired and sweaty, but he was very excited, and he couldn't wait to know what was in the box.

It wasn't until after dawn that everyone returned to Black Tiger Ridge. Hurriedly opened the box, and there were no valuables in the first few boxes, and Li Zhao was a little disappointed.

Liu Xuan took a heavy box, and the long knife slashed hard, and the silver of snowflakes fell to the ground, and everyone was overjoyed.

There were also silver and copper coins in the back boxes, and they were roughly counted, about a thousand taels.

With this money, the first thing Li Zhao had to do was to buy a batch of weapons for the Zhaowu army. So far, more than half of the non-commissioned officers in the army have only long sticks and flat poles in their hands, which is too shabby.

"You have a way to take some people to Nanzheng. If swords and the like are not easy to buy, it is okay to buy a batch of spear heads. Li Zhao said to Yang Zhi.

Yang Zhi thought for a while and said, "You can pretend to sell firewood to blend into the city." But whether you can buy these things is not guaranteed.

"You have to try it anyway, and it's hard to really go to war with a stick." "

Do your best. "

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

Yang Zhi didn't delay for long, and the next day he and Liu Xuan took people to Nanzheng.

All of them pretended to be people from the mountains, and after being questioned by the guards at the city gate, they were let into the city.

After entering the city, Liu Xuan said: "These things that the marshal said, it shouldn't be easy to buy in the shop."

"I haven't been to Nanzheng for many years, so it's better to go to some small blacksmith shop for the sake of caution. The

group walked around for a long time, and entered a blacksmith shop in a slightly remote location. There weren't many people in the shop, and Yang Zhi saw that there were some iron tools such as hoes and axes and chisels.

Yang Zhi asked the owner of the shop if he could make a few gun heads.

The other party saw that Yang Zhi and the others were dressed shabby, and they were about to drive them out. Yang Zhi didn't talk nonsense, and directly threw over a silver ingot.

The owner's attitude suddenly became enthusiastic, and he vowed that he could build anything.

Yang Zhi smiled: "What if it is hundreds of long knives or spears?" The

shopkeeper's face changed slightly, "Who are you and what do you want to do?"

"Money is not a problem, you just say whether you can accept this business." If we can't do it, I'll leave immediately and don't bother anymore. The

shopkeeper fell into a difficult choice in his heart, thinking that since Wang Jing became the assassin of Hanzhong, the government has become more and more lax in the control of iron weapons, and finally made up his mind, "I will take this business." "

Which is cheaper, a spear or a knife?" Yang Zhi asked.

"There are many types of spears, and the price is generally cheaper than long knives.

"Okay, a long spear is fine, it doesn't have to be too sophisticated, but the head of the spear must be sharp. "

Before he came, Li Zhao told him that the conditions are difficult, and the spear can stab people.

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

The two chatted for a long time, because Yang Zhi wanted a bit too much, and the blacksmith shop would not be able to build it for a while. Yang Zhi took away a batch of inventory, paid some deposits, and agreed that every once in a while, someone would be sent to pick it up.
