Fame is indeed a good thing, since the reputation of treating the people as brothers and sisters has spread, and the wars in various places have continued, so many refugees have come to join them with their families.

As a result, the population in the area under its jurisdiction has increased quite dramatically, and the development of various industries has been extremely rapid.

Because of the large-scale popularization and use of the assembly line of division of labor and cooperation, the productivity has increased several times, and the variety of commodities can be said to be quite abundant, and the only thing that is relatively tight is grain.

There is really no good way to solve this matter in a short period of time, but to advocate economy as much as possible, and set an example by not even eating supper, in general, it should be able to survive the difficult period.

In fact, the people who came to defect are not only pure refugees, but also some ambitious people, in order to support the Lord in this troubled world, and strive for the opportunity to win the merit of the dragon, but for the time being, there are no celebrities and great people through the ages to come to run.

Of course, the so-called times create heroes, and many times some little-known little people, in fact, as long as they are given the opportunity, they can still become famous and famous through the ages.

For example, Zhao Tianhao, who was rescued from the bandits' den, was very good, this was originally just a nursing home, and when he accompanied the head of the family to go out to run errands, he was suddenly attacked by bandits and was captured.

Those bandits wanted to pull him into the gang, but they didn't rush to kill him, but Lao Zhao didn't agree, and was almost executed in the end, but it happened that Zhang Tiancheng went out to clean up the nearby bandits, and saved him by the way, and then became the most loyal subordinate.

Originally, he would have died in obscurity, but after being rescued by Zhang Tiancheng, he then soared, although Lao Zhao was a bit dead-eyed, but there was no lack of courage and loyalty, plus Zhang Tiancheng's careful teaching, martial arts strategy is also growing rapidly.

It is certain that as long as he is given time, he can become a generation of famous generals and leave a name for eternity, of course, there is a premise that Zhang Tiancheng has to go far enough.

……

It is a routine memory at the end of October, more than 20 heads of various departments will participate, the jurisdiction of Ri'an is not large, and the population in the jurisdiction is only about 200,000, but although the sparrow is small and complete, this is not more than 200 miles of Cuishan power group, but it has become a small court.

In the conference room, which is not too big, Zhang Tiancheng is quite skilled in assigning tasks, and sometimes Zhang Tiancheng doubts whether he is a politician who has been delayed by the logistics industry.

Why is it that the courier himself is so quick to deal with this kind of thing, and many very difficult problems seem to be handled easily, even some self-esteemed scholars are cleaned up and obeyed, and almost become fanatical believers.

If you want to say that you worship yourself the most than Zhao Tianhao, this guy always takes out a small notebook every time he has a meeting, and records all the words he says, and the words are almost the same scribbled as himself, and even many of them are simplified.

It can only be said that this guy really regards himself as a saint, and he simply learns everything, so that now he has to think about it repeatedly every time he speaks and does things, so as not to affect this studious Zhao Tianhao "little friend".

"The main public spy has come to report that Du Fuwei may take the opportunity to attack my Tongling Town." An officer in charge of intelligence reported the information gathered.

"It doesn't matter, I thought I would leave thousands of troops and horses on the road that must be passed over there, and if Du Fuwei dared to attack, he would definitely not return."

“…… When did the lord arrange the ambush soldiers, and why did he not call for food, grass and ordnance. An official in charge of warehouse management in various places asked curiously.

"Heaven is not to be leaked!"

"Commander Zhao leads you to quickly prepare the Second Army, if Du Fuwei really attacks Tongling, you can take a detour to take Du Fuwei's old nest Xuancheng (now Chizhou)!"

"No!" Zhao Tianhao, who was named, quickly put down the notebook and stood up and bowed down to receive the order.

I thought that there was no battle to fight in the base camp this time, but I suddenly found that there was such a big credit waiting for me, although my face was not shocked, my heart was still quite excited.

The Second Army only has more than 2,000 people, but it has a secret weapon for siege, and a small city like Xuancheng cannot be stopped.

"You all work together to win Xuancheng in one fell swoop, clear the rear threat, and on the day of success, the reward for meritorious deeds is naturally indispensable to everyone's benefits."

"It's the lord." Everyone should have stood up, and the mood was quite high.

"Although it is inevitable to die in siege warfare, try to kill as few people as possible, mainly to deter and persuade surrender, and do not do some burning, killing and looting after entering the city."

"The Lord is benevolent!"

"Alright, let's all go back and get ready, and the meeting will be dismissed."

After speaking, they took the lead in leaving the conference room, and everyone rushed out, curiously asking each other what the ambush soldiers buried by the lord in Tongling were, and the most curious was the newcomer Gongsun Shangzhe.

He knew that Du Fuwei's army was powerful, and the total strength of the Cuishan army was only more than 6,000 people, of which Kou Shuai had already taken more than half of them in order to participate in the crusade against Yu Wenhua.

The remaining strength is only 2,000 men, and even with some security personnel, it is at most 3,000 men.

If these 3,000 troops are said to defend in place, it is not a big problem to rely on the powerful crossbow array of the Cuishan Army, but it is really incredible that they still have the ability to function in Xuancheng.

……

Du Fuwei is also from a poor people's background, and he has no desire to dominate the world in essence, he just wants to be in a safe corner, but Zhang Tiancheng took root near his territory, and his rapid development and growth is a serious threat to his living space.

Therefore, I learned that more than half of the Cuishan Army had been taken away by Kou Zhong and participated in the crusade against Yu Wenhua, and the rear was very empty, so I started the idea of occupying Tongling Town, mainly because of the growing copper mine.

It was really unreasonable not to take a piece of fat at your fingertips, so under the persuasion of a large group of subordinates, a large number of men and horses were finally dispatched to prepare to capture Tongling Town.

I thought this was a rather difficult bone to gnaw, no matter how to say that the steel crossbow array of the Cuishan Legion was not in vain, but the progress was incredible.

Along the way, there has been no resistance at all, Tongling Town has been in sight, the monthly output of tens of thousands of catties of copper mine is in front of you, if the copper mine is successfully won, the financial problem can also be greatly alleviated.

"I'm still too young, I really want to see what Xu Ziling's expression will be after he loses this copper mine." Du Fuwei, who has the chance to win, is quite worthy of emotion.

"The lord must not be careless, it is rumored that Xu Ziling is extremely cunning."

"No matter how cunning you are, if the personnel and forces are there, can you still conjure them out of thin air?"

"We waited all the way, and we didn't encounter any Cuishan Army, there may be fraud in this, do you want to suspend the action and send spies to find out the situation first?"

"Only by surprise can we attack them unprepared, and sending spies will only startle the snake and speed up the action."

Du Fuwei did not listen to the opinions of his subordinates, but accelerated his actions, and quickly advanced towards the Tongling Town that was within easy reach.

Of course, there is a reason why Du Fuwei dared to do this, because the investigation of the strength of the Cuishan Army is very clear, at most, there are only more than 6,000 people, and more than half of them have been taken away, leaving less than 3,000 troops.

And the army he brought with him this attack is more than 20,000 people, and the vanguard is even more heavily armored and shielded, and the powerful steel crossbow array of the Cuishan Army will also be weakened a lot, so in her mind, it is more likely that the remaining army will directly stay in the main city of Nanling.

However, in fact, Zhang Tiancheng had speculated that he might face this situation as early as when Kou Zhong led his troops into the war, so he used black powder to make a large number of mines early.

This time, the engineering demolition team responsible for stopping Du Fuwei's tens of thousands of troops was only 300 people, and of course, tens of thousands of local people and miners from the copper mine.

"Head, can you blow it up?"

"No hurry, no hurry, now the bombing can only scare people away, our purpose is to try to keep all the enemies."

"Didn't the lord say to capture him alive as much as possible?"

"Brother, if you want to capture the tiger alive, you have to hit the tiger hard first and pull out its minions, otherwise we will die."

"Head, I just can't figure it out, if you press this thing, why can the thunder over there explode?"

"It is said that the lord stored the power of thunder and lightning in this small box, and when he pressed the switch, the power of thunder and lightning was released along the copper wire, and the gunpowder could be ignited."

"My lord is amazing!"

"Of course, the lord is a man from heaven to earth."

"Head, head, the enemy's heavily armored and shielded infantry has passed."

"Prepare to detonate."

More than a dozen people quickly opened their respective boxes, and with the captain's order, a series of earth-shattering explosions followed, instantly injuring more than half of the enemy soldiers.

As a large group of people shouted the slogan of surrender or killing, they rushed out with all kinds of strange weapons, and swarmed towards the enemy army who had been frightened.

The so-called defeat was like a mountain, and the Du Jiajun, who had been frightened, had no intention of resisting at all, and those who could escape lost their weapons and surrendered in minutes when they were injured.

When Du Fuwei, who was also injured, fled back to Xuancheng with the remnants of the army in a hurry, he was blocked by Zhao Tianhao on the way, and was directly captured, and then took Du Fuwei's territory like a bamboo.

The godfather of Kou Zhong Xu Ziling in the original book, a famous fierce man in the Sui and Tang dynasties, became a prisoner of General Zhao.

Thanks to Zhang Tiancheng's repeated emphasis and personal ideological work from time to time, the military discipline of the Cuishan Army can be said to be unique in the world.

In the real sense, to the extent that there was no offense against the local people, it was after the defeat of Du Fuwei's army, the rout did some burning, killing and looting, which was in stark contrast to the Cuishan army.

After seeing this situation, he was not very convinced, and Du Fuwei, who was scolding and scolding in the prisoner car, also lost his temper completely.

"General Du is also a sensible person, he must know that those who win the hearts of the people get the truth of the world, my lord is a rare benevolent and righteous person in the world, and he will definitely become the co-lord of the world in the future, if you vote for my lord as soon as possible, you will have to pay homage to the ......prince in the future."

"Boy, don't tell me, your lord is just a little bit of power, and he also wants to enter the Central Plains, so dream of it."

"You have a lot of people, there are tens of thousands of troops, but in front of my three thousand Cuishan army, it is so disintegrated, do you really think that a large number of people can represent everything?"

"That's your deception."

"Lao Du, you are also a hegemon, you are all born to lead soldiers to fight, do you still need me to teach you this point if the soldiers are not tired of cheating?"

Du Fuwei was directly scolded by Zhao Tianhao and had nothing to say, Zhao Tianhao was not in a hurry, and continued to pursue the defeated soldiers slowly, letting those defeated soldiers harm the people, and then the Cuishan Army appeared with the army of the king to save the suffering, so as to quickly win the hearts of the local people.
