When Zhao Aotian finished writing an emotional report letter and handed it to Zhu Cizhi for a look.

His Royal Highness the King of Yong was very generous and cooperative, took off the jade pendant on his waist that symbolized the royal prince and handed it over.

He even told him again and again.

Don't delay when you arrive at Fuzhou City, and quickly lead the elite soldiers to pick up the car.

Zhao Aotian, who was flattered and particularly moved, agreed again and again.

Even before leaving, he handed over the letter seal of the leader of the 100 households in Yangguanbao to Zhu Cizhi.

In the days since he left.

Zhu Cizhi is the top manager of more than 1,000 people and more than 100 soldiers in Yangguan Fort.

Zhao Aotian even handed over his younger brother, who was injured by an arrow in the leg and was sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious, to Zhu Cizhi to take care of, and explained that he would bring Dafu Lang from Fuzhou Fucheng for treatment.

Well.

Zhu Cizhi will definitely take good care of this Zhao Qianmu who colluded with the Houjin cavalry.

From the eyes of modern people, it can be seen at a glance that Zhao Qianmu's arrow wound has begun to fester...... This is a standard sign of bacterial infection.

If you don't treat it quickly, it won't be long before you can't save this leg, and your life will be lost!

He couldn't wait for Zhao Aotian to come back at all.

Of course, Zhu Cizhi is not a Buddha and a Bodhisattva, so he didn't bother to point out the key points.

Seeing that Zhao Aotian led a few entourage, he hurriedly rode his horse and galloped towards the capital city of Fuzhou.

Zhu Cizhi became the highest magistrate of the Yangguanbao Town Office.

"The last general will see His Highness."

"According to your Highness's order, 80 newly recruited foot soldiers have been sent out to serve as scouts after being equipped with weapons and equipment."

"At present, the mountainous landform around Yangguanbao, and the village and town settlements have been completely explored."

General Li Guang half-knelt on the ground and reported to Zhu Cizhi on the work of most of the day.

The terrain of Yangguan Fort can be said to be extremely desirable.

The east and west sides are surrounded by mountains, forming a natural barrier, not to mention the invasion of a large army carrying a large amount of supplies and baggage, even a small group of scouts are extremely difficult to climb.

On the north side, there is a narrow mountain road that leads to the outside world...... Of course, the main one is the gateway to the capital city of Fuzhou.

On the south side, there are more than 10 villages and towns along the way, with a lot of fertile land.

All the way to the south, is Fuzhou Bay, where Zhu Cizhi and others landed.

Moreover, Fuzhou Bay is a natural harbor where ships can be built in the future.

Yangguan Fort, as its name suggests, is indeed a natural fortress that can be attacked, retreated, and defended.

"In addition, more than thirty miles to the south, our scouts found a village called Gaojiatun."

"Gaojiatun was obviously burned and looted by the Houjin cavalry, and the houses and buildings were destroyed."

"More than 300 of them are preparing to move north...... However, they have been plundered, and they are short of food and clothing, and I am afraid that they will not last long. ”

After Li Guang finished his report, Zhu Cizhi tilted his head thoughtfully.

Zhu Cizhi is very short of people now, and it can even be said that there is a considerable shortage of population.

However, the Zhao family father and son have been operating in Yangguanbao for many years, and these people have been severely squeezed and almost have no surplus food, and all of them obviously have a vegetable color on their faces, and there is a hidden hatred for the Zhao family and even the Ming Dynasty.

If you want to get the hearts of these more than 1,000 residents and incorporate them into the system population, you have to slowly figure it out.

And the more than 300 villagers in Gaojiatun, as long as they are given enough food and promise to find Houjin for them to avenge, they will definitely be able to be included in the system population immediately.

"Li Guang, you immediately personally lead a team of people to pick up more than 300 Gaojiatun refugees who have lost their homes...... They are my people, and they cannot be left to fend for themselves, whether they are public or private, or whether they are reasonable or reasonable. ”

"Zhang Xiaoyi, you also bring people and go to various places to buy grain...... Even if the price is higher than the market price, it will be accepted. ”

"In addition, there are important materials such as cattle, horses, mule carts, and other means of transportation along the way, and all of them are taken without exception."

Zhu Cizhi came out of Beiping, but he brought a lot of gold, silver, soft, jewelry and jade.

These things are dead things.

It has to be spent and exchanged for food and supplies to be useful.

As for whether the grain can be purchased, Zhu Cizhi has no doubts or worries.

Throughout the history of China for thousands of years.

The more chaotic the world is, the more there is no shortage of food and materials.

Of course, these food supplies were naturally in the hands of the gentry bureaucrats everywhere.

The weaker the central imperial power, the more they dared to unscrupulously guard the widows and hoard food and materials.

As long as the price is right, these unscrupulous squires and bureaucrats dare to sell even human lives, let alone renewable materials such as grain carts and horses.

It was not dark.

Li Guang and Zhang Xiaoyi are back.

Just half a day's work.

They have purchased tens of thousands of catties of grain and forage, as well as a dazzling array of countless iron pots, iron forks, leather cattle and mules.

Looking at the account book in his hand, Zhu Cizhi let out a long sigh and was somewhat relaxed.

A few days later, when Zhao Aotian returns with 500 elite soldiers in the capital city of Fuzhou, there will be a fierce battle.

Zhu Cizhi must seize the next few days to make arrangements and prepare to meet the enemy...... It is impossible for him to really follow Zhao Aotian to Fuzhou Mansion and become a hostage cargo.

Looking at the list of supplies in his hand, Zhu Cizhi thought to himself, as long as the operation is done properly, the Houjin army or the Fuzhou capital city will not be overwhelmed by large troops, and he can hold on here for more than a year.

"Your Highness."

"Now there's a big problem."

"Although we have purchased so many supplies, we lack the manpower to deliver them."

Zhang Xiaoyi saw Zhu Cizhi put down the list of materials and hurriedly supplemented the report.

Lack of manpower to deliver supplies?

Isn't that easy?

There are more than 1,000 people in Yangguan Fort.

Although it is impossible to be loyal to oneself in a short period of time, it will become the population data in the system.

However, it is not a big problem to spend a lot of money to hire them to deliver supplies.

Moreover, paying for employment not only solves the problem of material delivery, but also slowly buys people's hearts, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

"Well, this problem is easy to solve, just hire the people of Yangguan Fort."

"Don't be reluctant to pay, as long as they make an offer, we will be satisfied."

"I don't believe it yet, if there is money to be made, they will not be tempted."

Zhang Xiaoyi was ordered to retreat, while Li Guang still knelt on one knee in front of Zhu Cizhi, as if he had something to say.

"General Li, you have something to say."

"There's no need to worry."

At present, Li Guangke is the first combat force and military general under Zhu Cizhi, and he is naturally very polite to this Han Dynasty Fei general.

Li Guangli stood up, scrupulously obeyed the courtesy of the monarch and minister, and spoke extremely cautiously.

"Your Highness, I will take the liberty of boldly trying to figure out your mind."

"Are you planning to set up a base in Yangguan Fort and defend it for a long time?"

Oh?

Zhu Cizhi raised his eyebrows.

is worthy of a generation of famous general Li Guang.

From his actions, it can be inferred that he intended to set up camp here.

"Isn't Yangguan Fort suitable as a base?"

Zhu Cizhi asked.

He was curious if Li Guang had any unique insights.
