Start a city building order

Chapter 8
"General Huang, is there any movement from Black Tooth King's pursuers?"

This is the fourth time Li Si has asked Huang Zhong today. In order to predict the whereabouts of the Black Tooth King's pursuers in advance, starting this morning, Huang Zhong sent ten trippers, ten local hunters, to the axe in the north of Dongjiazhuang. Watching on the mountain, you can see the distance of forty or fifty miles in one breath. If the pursuers of the Black Tooth King really appear, they will immediately report by flying horses, reflecting light from bronze mirrors, and lighting beacon fires.

In this way, the enemy's traces can be known a hundred miles in advance, which is convenient for deployment.

It can be said that this is a very important link. The whole morning today, Li Si's heart was full of ups and downs, but on the surface he still had to pretend to be calm, not to mention the torment.

Because if the Black Tooth King's pursuers appeared earlier, then he could only put the plan of ambush Lu's elite soldiers in Luming Mountain, which was very passive.

Fortunately, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still no movement of King Black Tooth chasing troops, and the situation was half stabilized.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the Black Tooth King's pursuers have not been found so far. From the point of view of the general, the Black Tooth King's pursuers were defeated yesterday. If they want to get more reinforcements, they can only be dispatched from the Jincheng battlefield. Since the Black Tooth King The army is divided into three groups, so it is normal to not be able to mobilize manpower for a while."

"What's more, this place is more than [-] miles away from Jincheng, and it takes [-] miles to go back and forth. There is also a mountain road in between. Even the whole cavalry of the Black Tooth Clan can't show up in such a short period of time."

Compared to Li Si's anxiousness, Huang Zhong was much calmer. He even wondered if the dozen or so black-toothed rout soldiers at noon yesterday had arrived at the Jincheng battlefield now?
You know, each of the dozen or so defeated soldiers had only one horse left, and they had already galloped for dozens of miles. If they returned to the same route for more than 200 miles, it would be as if the horses would not eat grass and would not need to rest.

"That's very good, General Huang, take your Shesheng Battalion to rest from now on, there may be a battle tonight."

At this time Li Si briefly explained his plan to ambush Lu's reinforcements to Huang Zhong, and Huang Zhong was dumbfounded when he heard it. It's not that this ambush tactic is so clever, but that this matter is too despicable!
"General Huang, you need to understand that although the Lu family in Lucheng seems to be our ally, they are actually ambitious. If I arrive in Lucheng, it will be like Cao Ah hiding the emperor to command the princes. Therefore, we must act first."

Li Si was worried that Huang Zhongxin had a grudge, so he explained again.

Sure enough, Huang Zhong's expression immediately became serious. He didn't know anything else, but didn't Cao A hide the emperor from the emperor to make the princes understand? This matter is very bad.

"Please don't worry, Your Highness, the general will make arrangements for this!"

Huang Zhong went there in a hurry. Li Si could formulate a lure and ambush strategy, but he couldn't make the specific tactical deployment, and it would be perfect to leave it to Huang Zhong to handle it.

Next, Li Si went to check the production of the unicycle. This thing is not high in technology, but it is a good helper for long-distance marches. Even if a unicycle can only carry a hundred catties of supplies, it can be carried on the rugged mountain road. It is easy to march, and some old people, children, and the wounded can also sit on the unicycle to maximize the overall marching speed.

For a long time in the future, he will have to turn into a big bandit, turn around in various ways, destroy the enemy during the turning maneuver, and strengthen himself until he is qualified to build a city and a base.

As for seeking help from a powerful family, he firmly disagreed. The lessons learned by Taizu Yan are not far away.

So the black-toothed barbarians are not to be feared. What is feared is the blockade and confinement of the society, the country, and knowledge by the noble families. This kind of class solidification will cause endless troubles. It must be smashed, smashed, and swept into the dust of history. , such a blank white paper is good for painting.

This is Li Si's benefit as a time traveler, and he has a certain foresight.

And the Lu family in Lucheng is just a little fat sheep standing in front of Li Si.

All he needs to prepare is a mandarin duck pot, sesame sauce, leek sauce, hot sauce and other seasonings.

As for tonight's ambush, it was just an appetizer.

"I also need to build a craftsman battalion to quickly convert various materials into war equipment and civilian equipment. This requires a large number of craftsmen."

Li Si thought while patrolling, what he wanted was the strategy of the rogues, but his own army must not have the qualities of a rogue.

Therefore, there must be no dead ends in each link, and it must be like a precision machine, running stably and at high speed.

So far, he has established Huang Zhong's Shesheng Battalion, Zhao Shan's Cavalry Battalion, Wang Chu's Swordsman Battalion, Huang Yu's Scout Battalion, Chen Qing's Supplies Battalion, and Xu Guan's Garrison Battalion. Covered his team, but something was still missing.

Looking at the eunuch Sun Jin who has been silently following him behind him, and the swordsman captain Wang Chu who was regarded as his personal bodyguard, Li Si thought about it seriously, and then he understood that he still lacks a few secretaries, oh, that is, the secretary , Responsible for helping him formulate and convey various orders, and at the same time provide staff.

Originally, this matter was the responsibility of the old man Lu Zixin, but now that the old man's wound is infected, he is about to have a fever and talk nonsense, so naturally he can't count on it. Besides, after tonight, if the old man doesn't die, he will have to fight him desperately.

"Let's recruit a few scholars, and build up the internal affairs team first."

Li Si opened the rudimentary attribute panel and clicked to recruit scholars, but to his surprise - there was none.

The reason is simple. Unlike mercenaries, scholars can be recruited with money. They must attack a certain area, such as Lucheng, before recruiting scholars from the Lucheng area.

But now his control area is limited to one Xujia Village, and he has no foundation of scholars at all.

As for recruiting scholars in Xishan Town, hehe, it would still be difficult if you don’t use force. The main reason is that the aristocratic families have a lot of knowledge, so how can ordinary people have the opportunity to study?

"If Taizu Yan followed Li Shimin back then, he might still have struggled a bit if he opened up the imperial examinations, but Taizu Yan himself was the patriarch of the Li family in Longxi, and he was a representative of a powerful family. His limited thinking determined that he didn't want to break this system. , so it is normal to be exterminated."

Thinking of this, Li Si also had a headache. At the same time, he realized more deeply that if these powerful families were not destroyed, there would be no chance at all.

-

In the evening, the old man Lu Zixin finally started to have a high fever, fell into a coma and talked nonsense, even the third-level medical officer Zheng Shizhen was helpless, and of course Li Si was also helpless, even though he knew what was going on.

But that's okay, the old man is considered one of his teachers after all, and if he died of an injury, it can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end.

At this time, Huang Zhong had already set up an ambush circle outside Xujia Village. The old general was experienced after all. He invited all the villagers out of Xujia Village, and only ambushed the soldiers of the Shesheng Battalion in the village houses.

At the entrance of the village, more than a dozen piles of bonfires were set up, with a large iron pot on top, and pork bones were stewed in it, and the aroma wafted for several miles.

The four princes' chariots were placed at the back, and Zhao Shan's cavalry battalion was guarding the surroundings as the prince's guard. Wang Chu put on Li Si's clothes, and waited patiently by the fire under the wait of the eunuch Sun Jin and Gong'e Zhouyue. waiting.

Of course, the cavalry battalion here has only 24 people, and the remaining 21 third-level heavy cavalry, led by Zhao Shan, ambushed under the wall of the mountain ridge pass on the south side of Xujia Village.

As for Huang Yu's scout battalion, Wang Chu's swordsman battalion, and even Chen Qing's supply battalion, as well as the 300 recruits under Li Si's direct leadership, they were lying in ambush a few miles away. Hit the wind.
