Chapter 166: News of Victory

Just when Cao Xin, Gongsun Changming and others were worried about the war in Yizhou, thousands of people in Dezhou were driven and escorted by the black-clothed army, and they were tragically moving towards Yizhou. The migrant army traveled up to thirty miles a day, but this speed had already satisfied Li Ze. At most ten days, he could return to Yizhou Xindu.

The key is whether Shi Zhuangtu Lichun can win the battle later. If he loses, there will be no difference between getting one day or one day. If he wins, it doesn’t matter even if he wins a few days at night.

After Li Ze threw out an olive branch and clearly expressed his intention to recruit, Hou Zhen immediately posted it with knowledge and tactfulness. No matter what, the person in front of him was the young master of the governor of Chengde, but he was a higher level than Zhu Bin who he had originally relied on. Moreover, Li Ze expressed his intention to win the position of the governor of Chengde in the future, which made Hou even more shocked.

Anyway, this is already happening now. If you anger the person in front of you, you will be killed immediately. It would be better to put your whole body on it. Once this person really gains power, the Hou family may be able to take it to a new level.

These powerful families still have considerable backgrounds. They have strict rules and regulations in their work. Hou Zhen sent more than a hundred servants in his family to help the black-clad army manage this migrant army, and along the way they even used their own grain to make porridge to help the victims. With the example of Hou, the other families also followed suit and sent their servants and children to join in, which made this migrant army more orderly.

After all, these companies are famous local Texas with surnames and prestigious families. With their joining, Li Ze saved a lot of effort.

A felt carpet was spread on the ground, and Li Ze and Hou Zhen and other chairman sat on the ground. Since they were so active, Li Ze naturally had to show enthusiasm and kindness. After a day's journey, he specially invited the seven masters to sit together to have a drink.

Ordinary people are naturally extremely miserable in such migration, but for people like them, no matter how hard they are, they will not be able to suffer. The felt blanket is still filled with chicken, duck, fish and meat.

What surprised Li Ze was that Hou Zhen actually took out a jar of blood-red wine and knocked on the seal. The mellow fragrance immediately lingered in his nose.

Looking at Li Ze's surprised look, Hou Zhen said proudly: "Mr. Li, this wine has been around for a long time. I bought it from Western Regions merchants when my father was alive. After years, there was only this jar left."

He poured Li Ze a bowl attentively, and Hou Zhen said, "Young Master, can you try it and keep it in your mouth?"

Li Ze picked up the wine bowl and swayed it gently. After a while, he took a sip and rolled it back and forth several times in his mouth. Then he swallowed it and closed his eyes and savored it carefully.

The taste is of course excellent. Poor Li Ze's previous life, the Rafi in 1982 was just a daily wine for him, but when he came to this world, he never drank the best red wine again. The jar of red wine that had been treasured for decades in front of him tasted no worse than the famous wines in his previous life.

After breathing a long breath, Li Ze opened his eyes: "Good wine!"

Seeing that Li Ze liked him, Hou Zhen squinted his eyes even more when he smiled.

Li Ze naturally couldn't come up with such a good thing. However, he brought some high-quality liquor distilled from the farm, which was originally used for medical disinfection. But this wine, which is a high degree, just takes a fermented sap. It was incomparable to the red wine of the year that Hou Zhen took out. However, the dried fruit he took out surprised Hou Zhen very much.

"Is this frosting candy?" Hou Zhen asked, picking up a piece of white dried fruit with white sugar stuck to it.

"That's right." Li Ze smiled. "Wuyi is backed by Daqing Mountain. There are many wild fruits on the mountain, but most of them are sour and astringent and cannot be swallowed. However, after making this, it is a good wine to accompany you."

Hou Zhen swallowed, it was a real thing to buy a box and get a bead. It was a waste to use precious frosting sugar to make these wild fruits.

"It is actually not difficult to make frosting sugar. As long as there are enough raw materials, we can make a lot of frosting sugar. However, in our place, there is no raw material, so we have to give up." Li Ze said regretfully: "Now the governors dominate one side, and the trade routes are not open. Otherwise, a large amount of sand sugar will be transported from the south and then processed into frosting sugar. The profit in this will be great."

Speaking of this, Li Ze was a little angry. Every military governor had his own territory and his own business. If other people's businesses wanted to enter, it was difficult and the business was blocked. This led to circulation difficulties and soaring prices. Just like Li Ze developed in Henghai, how much effort it took to achieve the scale today. A large part of the profits he earned every year were fed to those corrupt officials.

Now when doing business, as long as the business route is clear, transporting things from one place to another is basically a huge profit, but it is precisely because the business route is controlled that Li Zezong cannot use it even if he has a lot of ideas.

Because nowadays, business is guaranteed by a knife. As long as you see a large caravan on the road, there is no need to ask, behind them, there are powerful armed forces as guarantee.

No matter what the seven people were thinking, now they could only flatter Li Ze. After a meal of wine, the guests and guests and their friends met and each made fun of each other. The other six heads of the family were also able to taste the fine wine treasured by Hou Zhen. A jar of wine was drunk by everyone.

When the banquet was about to end, a sudden sound of horse hooves came from the darkness in the distance, and everyone's eyes turned to the direction where the sound of horse hooves came.

One horse and one knight jumped out of the darkness. After the alert Li Mi saw the horse's knight clearly, he whistled, and the guards gathered here in the darkness quietly dispersed around.

The person who came was the fox of the heart moon fox.

He turned over and dismounted, ran to Li Ze, and knelt down on one knee. Hu Yi looked happy: "Young Master, Dezhou City has a great victory. We wiped out a thousand Cangzhou cavalry from Cangzhou led by Zhu Yannian in Dezhou City, and one thousand armored soldiers and three thousand palace soldiers led by Bijia Jisong of Dizhou."

After the fox said one by one, Li Ze was really happy. Now, the war has come to an end. He and his migrating army can finally return to Yizhou safely.

Although I wanted to jump up and sing, I still tried to keep my calm in front of Hou Zhen and others. I picked up a piece of dried fruit with my fingers and chewed it slowly, and asked while chewing: "How much capture?"

Hu Yi glanced at Li Ze awkwardly and said, "Young Master, there are no prisoners, everyone is dead!"

Um?

Li Ze's body suddenly sat upright, with 5,000 people, but there were no prisoners?

Not only was Li Ze surprised, but Hou Zhen and others who were still sitting at this moment could no longer sit still and stood up one after another.

The news of victory brought by Hu Yi has already shocked them. Li Ze's troops first defeated Zhu Bin's 1,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of soldiers in the palace, then attacked Dezhou City, cut off Zhu Bin's head, and snatched all of the city of Dezhou. Now they have defeated Henghai Army, one thousand cavalry, one thousand soldiers, and three thousand soldiers, but there is not a single living person.

What does this mean?

Kill prisoners!

Only this explanation can make sense why there was not even a prisoner after a big battle.

Li Ze immediately figured out why Shi Zhuang and Tu Lichun killed prisoners so resolutely. They didn't have much troops to manage and escort these prisoners. Moreover, these people came from Dizhou and Cangzhou, and it was very difficult to naturalize them. This was not like the Dezhou soldiers he captured. Now he took Dezhou back in a row. With the bond of a small family, it would be much easier to gather these people.

"You're hungry, come on, eat a chicken leg to put it on the bottom, and then tell me in detail the story of this battle!" Li Ze glanced at the seven masters beside him and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Young Master!" After taking the chicken legs, the fox chewed the chicken legs in a few seconds, and didn't even let go of the bones. He swallowed it, wiped his mouth, and took a book of strong wine from Li Ze. He drank it all, and a blush suddenly appeared on his face.

"Young Master, this battle is like this." Hu Yi, who had drunk wine, had a very loud voice.

Tempting the enemy into the city and then burning the city of Dezhou was originally a plan set by the young master, but now the young master wants to tell it again by himself, of course he wants to tell these people.

Sure enough, when he heard that the city of Dezhou was already burning clean, Hou Zhen and others all showed heartache, but they immediately endured themselves. Dezhou City was gone, and their way home was cut off. It seemed that they would have to settle down in Wuyi in the future.

"Hu Yi, you did a good job this time, you should remember your first merit!" Li Ze said to Hu with satisfaction: "If you want any reward, even if you say, the young master is happy today."

The fox was overjoyed, knelt on both knees and kowtowed heavily: "Fox asked the young master to give his surname Li."

All the people who came out of the secret camp were honored as Li by the prince, but until now, only Li Hao, Li Han and Li Mi have received this honor, and even Yan Jiu, who was deeply loved by Li Ze, has not received this honor yet.

"Before the war, you try your best to search for the enemy situation, so that we can understand the enemy's situation well. During the war, you can lead the team to hide it in the enemy's belly and launch a fatal blow. After the war, you ran around overnight and sent the news to me as soon as possible. You deserve a heavy reward. From today on, your surname will be Li, Li, De,"
