Jin Mantang can be regarded as a full return in Wuyi.

For him, this trip to Wuyi was in a desperate situation and found another way to live. In this situation, big money owners like him, as Li Ze estimated, have become the target of many powerful factions. Anyone with a little ambition will sharpen their swords and want to do something big. Of course, the prerequisite for doing something big is to have enough money and grain. The top salt merchant in Yangzhou, Piansheng Jinmantang, has endless money to use.

To make Jin Mantang and swallow his property, in the eyes of many people, is enough to support an army of tens of thousands of people for several years. This huge wealth has allowed countless people to plan in private. If Jin Mantang had not used Sheng and the money shop to connect with the interests of many people, and too many people want this money and restrain each other, I am afraid that Jin Mantang would not even have the opportunity to find a way out.

This time, he found a powerful helper in Wuyi. More importantly, during contact with Li Ze, Xia He and others, he could clearly feel that although the other party needed his money, he valued him more seriously and wanted to bring him into one of them. After living in Wuyi for about half a month, he also had an in-depth understanding of Wuwei's policies.

People like him are already very sensitive to the policies of the place.

Although Wuwei is based on agriculture, it does not exclude merchants. On the contrary, merchants account for a huge proportion in their structure, such as the familiar tiger slaughter, and even occupied an important position in Wuwei Jie Town as a merchant. The title of the right general of Qianniu is usually empty for Huhu, but if it is really a problem, it can become real at any time. You must know that in Chang'an, Qianniu Guard still has thousands of people in his hands.

After meeting with Li Anguo, the prince of Zhending, and the two sides officially exchanged letters for their two children and signed a marriage, Jin Mantang officially became a member of Wuweijie Town.

The place Li Ze reserved for him was the executive director of Wuwei Money House.

The merger between Wuwei and Shenghe was an inevitable result of this incident, and Wuwei also started its own network construction in the south with the help of Shenghe's already paved network, thus extending his hand to the south.

Jin Mantang is now full of confidence.

The engagement between the two families was extremely grand in Wuyi, and the news spread throughout the world at a very fast speed under the special arrangement. Jin Mantang was very worried that some people would attack him in advance if this happened, but Li Ze's analysis made him feel relieved.

First of all, before Li Ze formally fought with Zhang Zhongwu, those people must have a look at the style. After all, Li Ze's Wuwei Town is now one of the most famous towns in the world. It is powerful and it is really unwise to offend such a powerful person for no reason. With such a buffer, Jin Mantang can use this space to make corresponding arrangements and arrangements just in case.

Secondly, if Li Ze defeats Zhang Zhongwu, his strength will inevitably rise to a higher level. Jin Mantang pretends to be a tiger's power, so there is no need to worry. At that time, I am afraid that many towns will use Jin Mantang to climb Li Ze's big tree. After all, there are still very few powerful figures in Yang who are competing for the world and fighting for a short and strong position. Most of the people just want to keep their wealth in front of them.

Of course, if Li Ze was defeated by Zhang Zhongwu and could only be resentful, those people would never be polite to Jin Mantang. This is also the original intention of Jin Mantang to respond in advance. If there was a day, they would only leave those people with empty airs, and his real strength would quietly evacuate Jiangnan and come to Wuwei.

For Jin Mantang, this is an extremely cost-effective transaction. From then on, Jin Mantang will truly become a person who can influence the world. From the prospects of the money house discussed with him, he can confirm this. If he fails, at least he can guarantee that he will not die, and Wuwei will provide him with a place to settle down.

The worst case is that Li Ze is completely finished, so he will naturally be finished. If such a thing happens, he has nothing to regret, because this is his original situation.

He happily returned home.

When he came, he was defeated quietly, but when he left, he was accompanied by Wuwei's ceremonial guards. Li Ze even sent a hundred of his own personal guards to serve as Jin Mantang's guard team, which was very high-profile.

After dealing with Jin Mantang's affairs, Li Ze finally pointed his eyes at the decisive battle with Zhang Zhongwu that would inevitably come.

This time it was no longer a small fight. With Gao Pian's death, Hedong became an empty shell. The original seven armies in Hedong, except for Li Cunzhong and Han Qi, formed an alliance to support the situation, Hengye and Daizhou troops were in name only, but the other three armies were in power and could no longer pose a threat to Gao Pian. All the pressure was transferred to the front of Wuwei at once.

When Li Ze reorganized his army and completed the layout of the front line, Zhang Zhongwu also transferred his main force from Hedong to the Wuwei army after several months.

The two sides launched a comprehensive confrontation on the front hundreds of miles.

Cao Xin, the left governor of Qianniu Guard, moved to Yizhou to fully command the war between Dingyi and Yizhou. Opposite him was Zhuozhou, the gateway to Youzhou, Zhang Zhongwu's old nest.

This is a war where neither side can afford to lose.

If Zhang Zhongwu lost Zhuozhou, the gates of Youzhou would be wide open, and the Wuwei army would inevitably go straight in. Once Youzhou was not protected, even if Zhang Zhongwu still had a deep strategic depth, those places could no longer support his huge army. What's even more terrifying is that once Youzhou was lost, it would be afraid that the Khitan tribes under Zhang Zhongwu's control would no longer be able to provide him with help.

On the other hand, if Li Ze loses this war and Dingzhou Yizhou is not protected, Zhang Zhongwu will drive directly to Zhaozhou and Zhenzhou, the two fundamental places of Wuwei. Before Dezhou was planned by Li Ze, these two places are still the centers supporting the entire Wuwei.

Cao Xin now gathered 10,000 soldiers from Dingzhou commanded by Shi Zhuang and 10,000 soldiers from Yizhou commanded by Wang Sili. After the autumn harvest, he recruited 30,000 soldiers from the local area. Under the command of these two generals, nearly 100,000 people were gathered. Tu Lichun, who was stationed in Zhenzhou and 5,000 soldiers from Liang Han's troops also arrived in Yizhou in mid-October to form Cao Xin's central army. Wen Fu, the former confidant general of Li Anguo, led 3,000 troops from the headquarters as a guardian to protect the food and grass and the security passage of the army ahead. As Wen Fu's helper, the three thousand Shence Army under the jurisdiction of Xue Ping.

After Li Ze issued a proclamation to fight Zhang on October 15, he led his troops, including three thousand personal guards, one thousand swords and soldiers, one hundred Dewolf cavalry and more than one thousand wolf cavalry to supplement the team, set out from Wuyi and entered Dingzhou.

At this point, the battle between the two sides has officially begun.

Wuwei Jiezhen Commander You Yong issued a mobilization order for all the government soldiers to Wuyi, and all the government soldiers must be ordered at any time, gathered and rushed to the front line.

Hundreds of students of Wuwei Academy threw down their pens, ink, paper and inkstones, put on military uniforms, and lifted up horizontal swords. Some of them entered Li Ze's central army. These people were under the control of Chunyu Yue and usually acted as civil servants in Li Ze's army. When it was really critical, these people could also hold a knife and chop people. Among the disciples from Zhang Islam, if anyone was unable to tie a chicken, he would definitely be the target of ridicule. These people were both civil and military guys who could speak and act.

Of course, as these sparks that Li Ze had high hopes for, Li Ze could not really throw them into the battlefield unless it was absolutely necessary. Let them follow and feel the moment of life and death on the battlefield and the atmosphere of blood flowing. It will be very helpful for them to help Li Ze fight in all directions and manage the local area in the future.

Others, along with Zhang Hui, stationed in Wuweijie Town as a means to stabilize the rear.

The medical museum located in Zhenzhou is also empty. Not only the doctors here, but also the doctors in the countryside have been transferred. Li Ze has basically achieved that every sentry has a doctor, every song has a medical team, and every battalion has a field ambulance clinic. These doctors in white clothes and white hats have now become an indispensable part of the army and are also the group of people most respected by the soldiers.

When they go to the battlefield, from generals to soldiers, no one can guarantee that their lives are better than others. With the existence of these people, their lives will be more guaranteed.

Yan Jiu, who was so tired that his face was thin, watched with satisfaction as trucks of first aid drugs were sent to each army and distributed to each soldier. The doctors on the front line would teach these soldiers some simple first aid methods. Don’t underestimate these methods. Sometimes, whether they can save their lives or not, it really depends on whether they can complete these things as soon as possible.

The Duzhi Department located in Wuyi was even busier. Xia He was almost incapable of doing anything. He was approving a large number of documents every day. The money flowed out in the treasury, and the grain stored in the treasury also flowed out every day. If it weren't for the new grain entering the treasury every day, I was afraid she would have been unable to sleep at night. But even so, the beautiful Wuwei Duzhi Department appeared in front of everyone every day during this period of time, and it looked unkempt.

In Wuyi, only Li Anguo and Li Anmin are the only ones who are really fine.

Li Anmin originally thought that he could help at this time, but he was stopped by Li Anguo. At this time, if the two of them appeared in Wuweijie Town, they were not helping, but causing trouble. In Li Ze's arrangement, there was no mention of the two of them.

So even if they were anxious, they could only play the new toys and mahjong that Li Ze made for them every day with Wu and Aunt Tao in the manor.
