Li Ze now has only a few hundred cavalry in his hands.

Tu Lichun's five hundred personal guards and cavalry and the original caravan guards. People like Shi Zhuang, Chen Changping, and Li Hao were specially selected by Li Ze to use as top soldiers to increase their combat capabilities. In addition, there are some people who have been ambushed in the Yixing Hall in Texas City in the early stage.

Although they took Texas City by surprise and defeated and killed most of the Texas defenders, compared to the huge Texas City, their idea made it like a sea of chestnuts, and there were tens of thousands of people living in Texas City.

With this manpower, it is a dream to control the entire Texas City, and what Li Ze can control, that is, the Assassin's Mansion, the Treasury and the East City Gate.

Even if Chen Changping entered the city, relying on his previous reputation for rebellion in Henghai, he opened the prison in Dezhou City, released the prisoners who were locked up by Zhu Bin and armed them, but it was only less than 300 more. Although there are more than 300 people in the prison, most of them are tortured to death, skinny and bone-thin, and it is difficult to walk.

This is the reason why Li Ze is desperate to kill Zhu Bin in the middle of the road and not let him escape alive, and now Zhu Bin's head is hanging high on the flagpole in front of the Assassin's Mansion, which is a silent deterrent for Texans.

The assassin took tens of thousands of people to fight people, but now his head is hanging high in the city, for those people in Texas who don't know the truth, how can they know that the enemy is coming, only a few hundred horsemen?

The only organized army and horses, after Shi Zhuang entered the city, immediately drove the cavalry to scatter them, and then killed, some of the remaining people in the city of Texas, not without strength, but under the leaderless group of dragons, for a while, they could not make any effective response.

Li Ze needs time to wait for his reinforcements to arrive. That is the two thousand main forces led by Shen Congxing.

That's more than 2,000 armor soldiers.

Originally, counting the four hundred thousand Niu Wei who came with him, Li Ze only had more than a thousand people, and he thanked Zhu Bin for sending him hundreds of sets of good armor for traveling thousands of miles. Even those that have been damaged can still be used if they are picked up and repaired.

Li Ze believed that when his two thousand armor soldiers appeared in Texas City, it would be enough to crush everyone's thoughts.

He asked Shi Zhuang to knock on doors from house to house, of course, not to attack. Dezhou City is not a small family like his Wuyi, and there are a lot of high-ranking families living in this city. These people have their own families, in other words, their own personal armies. The homes of these high-ranking families may be built stronger than the city walls. If you really want to fight, Li Ze doesn't have any manpower now.

Shi Zhuang went to knock on the door, it was a warning.

Your assassination history is over, whether you surrender or are you ready to resist stubbornly, we will give you a day to think about it, and after a day, don't blame us for being polite.

Of course, after a day, even if they surrendered, Li Ze would not be polite.

If you don't surrender, you will slaughter your whole family, and if you grab something, you will leave.

Surrendered, okay, then don't rob you of your things, you take your own things and follow Lao Tzu.

Too many things to bring with you? It doesn't matter, my army will help you transport it, of course, the freight is to be charged a little properly.

The lights in the Texas Thorn Mansion are brightly lit, and the outermost circle of defense is the prisoners released from the prison organized by Chen Changping, and the inside is the personal guard cavalry led by Tu Lichun.

Zhu Bin's head looked a little hideous under the illumination of the lights, Li Ze, who was standing in front of the door of the lobby, could see the head as soon as he raised his eyes, and there was a faint crying sound in the wind, which was the crying of Zhu Bin's family members who were imprisoned in the Thorn History Mansion. This made Li Ze feel a little bored in his heart.

It's not pity, it's a pure feeling of sympathy. If Zhu Bin defeats himself this time, his head must be like the current Zhu Bin, hanging high above the head of Wuyi City.

Standing on this stage, enjoying the glory that others can't reach, but at the same time, also taking risks that others don't need to take. Others can surrender, but people like yourself can't.

If you win, you live, and if you lose, you die. There's no middle ground.

The hideous head hanging high also made Li Ze secretly vigilant in his heart at this time, and if he made a mistake, the end would be in front of him.

The guy in front of him who lost his head is over fifty years old, and he has enjoyed everything he should enjoy, and now he is not wronged when he dies, he is not yet sixteen years old, and the Fantasia has really begun, and he doesn't want to die.

The sound of footsteps came, and Li Ze lowered his head and saw Shi Zhuang striding over.

"Not going well?" Li Ze looked at Shi Zhuang with a smile.

"These people are all treacherous, as soon as they look at our frame, they know that we are not strong enough, so where are we willing to let go?" Shi Zhuang smiled and spread his hands. After I came to the door, they were all respectful, and they didn't promise to give money and food to reward the army, but I won't say anything about the amount, so as not to make the son angry."

"That's good, that's good." Li Ze stroked his palms and laughed: "In this case, when I get them next, there will be no psychological pressure, if you come to the door, they will come to the door with fear and trembling and prostrate at my feet, then how can I be embarrassed to leave them with nothing?" Reach out and don't hit the smiling person, don't you say? Well, now they are rude to me, knowing that I am in the Assassin's Mansion, they actually don't come to see me, this is a naked insult to me, I am very unhappy, very angry, I am angry, and the consequences are very serious."

The two looked at each other and both laughed.

"Shi Zhuang, what do you think, what is the strength of these guys? Is it possible to launch a counterattack against us?" Li Ze asked.

"According to the information collected by the people of Yixingtang in the city, the influential and powerful people in Dezhou City are none other than the eight families, each of which probably has a hundred to two hundred families, and the eight families together are a thousand people. If these people rely on high gates and deep bases, we are short of manpower, of course, we can't go from house to house, but if they really want to assemble and attack us, it will be easier." Shi Zhuang said with a smile: "I discussed with Tu Lichun, and deliberately shrank my forces in the area of the Thorn History Mansion, giving them space to connect with each other and connect with each other, just see if they are fooled?"

"Will you be fooled?" Li Ze asked with interest.

Shi Zhuang shook his head: "These people, all of them are slippery like loaches, the more we look like this, the more they dare not come out."

"Can you just hide like this?" Li Ze sneered.

"They don't know what you're going to do, but they also know that Childe can't stay in Texas for too long, and he must leave. So I want to get through it."

"Then stay up, tomorrow, Shen Congxing is here, you come to the door again, I will feast them in the Thorn Mansion." Li Ze smiled and said, "If they are willing to cooperate, then when we go back, we will save a lot of effort, right?" These families are still quite organized, and we can use their manpower. If you don't cooperate, then slaughter a few of them, and the others will probably be honest."

"Childe is right." Shi Zhuang said with a smile. It's late at night, Childe go and rest, I'll go outside and watch. These days, Childe is tired."

"It's the same for everyone!" LI Zedao.

"We're used to suffering, but Childe is different." Shi Zhuang said: "There is no need for the son to endure hardship."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything like that." Li Ze said: "Whether the soldiers support you or not is not because you eat, sleep and suffer with them, but because what you can give them. As long as I can always give the soldiers victory, bring them a steady stream of wealth, and make their families richer day by day, who will they support if they don't support me? Isn't it possible to support a guy who eats bran with them and is in danger?"

Li Ze's brain circuit is obviously very different from that of this era, and it is also very different from the famous generals and marshals that Shi Zhuang has seen before, even if those people are extravagant in private, but in front of the soldiers, they always have to pretend to be, such as doing something like helping soldiers suck the pus from wounds, or cutting a bundle of hair to replace their own heads?

Li Ze dismisses these acts of buying people's hearts, and he believes that the best way to buy is to let the people under his command live a better life day by day, so that they can see a bright future. Always let them earn more than they expected, then they will always look forward to what they will surprise them next time.

There may be that kind of loyal people in this world who don't want anything, but such people will always be a very small minority, and it is precisely because of the few that they will be remembered in history. But such a person is often a tragedy, and can only leave a lament that makes people sigh. Of course, Li Ze also hopes that the more people like him are, the better, but this is just a luxury. More people who follow Li Ze are all asking for something.

Therefore, Li Ze has always advocated uniting more people, that is, the kind of people who ask for something. Give them what they want, in exchange for the people working for themselves.

Yang Kai, Chen Changping brothers, Shen Congxing, Chu Sheng, Chen Bing, Hu Twelve, and even Li Hao and Li Han are all like this, but Li Ze clearly knows what they want. There is only Shi Zhuang in front of him, and so far, Li Ze still can't figure out what he wants? The origin of this man has always been a mystery.

Shi Zhuang is in front of Li Ze, and now it seems that he has always been frank and unconcealed, and even his own son has been entrusted to Li Ze, and now it is taken by Li Ze's mother, Mrs. Wang. But for the past, he has never said a word, and Li Ze never asks.

Or maybe that's one of the reasons why the two get along with each other.

Li Ze believes that one day, Shi Zhuang will definitely confess everything he has to himself.
