In Qingfeng Village, Qin Ze rubbed his temples, his mind racing.
The Black Tiger Stronghold bandits are powerful. If we send a large army to attack them, although we can take them down, the cost will be much greater than if we were to conquer Green Peak Stronghold.
Send Ma Tong and the others back to report to Zhao Yuan; Zhao Yuan will definitely take action.
Qin Ze was not worried that Zhao Yuan would not send troops. If he did send troops, he could easily take over Black Tiger Stronghold.
If he doesn't send troops...
He will then face even more serious consequences.
The fact that Zhao Yuan only dared to do things behind people's backs was enough to show that he was a cautious and meticulous person.
Therefore, he will definitely choose to send troops to attack Black Tiger Stronghold, and may even be more proactive!
For no other reason than to distance himself from these bandits!
Thinking of this, Qin Ze sneered.
With Zhao Yuan's help, after successfully taking over Black Tiger Stronghold, we can build Jubeichuan into an impregnable fortress. Then, we just need to accumulate points and exchange them for more troops!
Without further thought, Qin Ze was exhausted after a whole day of fighting. He would take a good rest for the next two days, and by the time he marched out of Black Tiger Stronghold in two days, he would have accumulated enough points.
The food supplies in Black Tiger Stronghold are sufficient for the army, which saves some points.
...
The following day at noon.
Inside the Commander's Mansion.
Ma Tong and the others dragged their weary bodies back to the Commander's Mansion.
Zhao Yuan had waited all night, and his face was now ashen. Seeing Ma Tong return, he sternly rebuked him:
"I told you to come back quickly after you finished your investigation last night, and look at the time of day it is now!"
"What are you all good for?!"
Ma Tong, his face contorted with grief, said in a trembling voice:
"My lord, we were captured and tied up by Qin Ze's men as soon as we arrived at the foot of Half Moon Mountain!"
"When we came down the mountain, they didn't even give us a horse. We ran back all night! Sigh!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan frowned deeply and said in a deep voice:
"Is he really at Qingfeng Village? How many men does Qin Ze have under his command?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Tong's face turned ugly.
"Sir, we were blindfolded and led up the mountain, we don't even know how many there were..."
"But to conquer Qingfeng Village, there must have been at least tens of thousands of people."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yuan kicked out, and Ma Tong fell to the ground.
"Useless! You can't even handle this simple task!"
"What else have you found out? Tell me now!"
Ma Tong got up from the ground and immediately relayed what Qin Ze had said the night before.
After he finished speaking, Zhao Yuan's face turned ashen, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Although he still didn't understand how Qin Ze had acquired these troops, he knew that if Qin Ze attacked Black Tiger Stronghold and captured Wang Meng alive, things would be in trouble.
Yesterday, Wang Meng and his companions came to the mansion under the cover of night, and their meaning was quite clear.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan was furious and slammed the teacup on the table to pieces.
"hateful!"
Now he's in a bind.
He certainly didn't want to send troops to suppress the bandits, but Qin Ze now had troops at his disposal, and had captured two mountain strongholds in just a few days. His military strength was definitely not to be underestimated!
Based on this, it's not certain that Black Tiger Stronghold can hold out, let alone counterattack Qin Ze.
His plan to use bandits to kill him had, at this point, completely failed.
Moreover, the fact that his conspiracy with Wang Meng was exposed would also affect his career and reputation.
Even with the Grand General of the State as his guarantor in the imperial court, the consequences of colluding with bandits to assassinate the Prince of Zhenbei were something he simply could not afford.
At that time, I will surely become a pawn to be discarded.
Zhao Yuan frowned, his face grew increasingly gloomy, and the killing intent in his eyes intensified.
If they didn't want to become pawns themselves, then they had no choice but to make Wang Meng a pawn!
The only option now is to assist Qin Ze in capturing Black Tiger Stronghold!
Not only that, but we also need to shut Wang Meng and his ilk up completely!
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan walked out of the hall with a cold face...
........
The next day, at the foot of Half Moon Mountain.
Qin Ze looked at the score on the light screen.
Since 3 points per second two days ago, points have been added in the past two days.
With the points I've accumulated so far, I now have an astonishing total of over 800,000 points!
Suppressing his excitement, Qin Ze opened the system shop and began exchanging items.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately chose to exchange for light cavalry!
A light cavalryman needs a helmet, armor, halberd, and a warhorse, and of course, a level 1 unit template.
In other words, a light cavalryman needs 181 points.
[Ding! Points have been used to redeem 4500 light cavalry!]
Looking at the system properties panel again, it has also changed.
[Host: Qin Ze.]
Points: 3. (Increasing...)
[Territory: Northern Liang (square kilometers)]
[Tier 1 Units: Infantry 4015, Archers 1964, Light Cavalry 5996, Shieldbearers 2000.]
[General: Dian Wei (3 stars)]
Subsequently, an additional 4,500 cavalrymen appeared in the ranks.
In this way, the total troop strength has reached 14,000!
Looking at the neatly arranged line in front of him, Qin Ze's eyes sparkled with excitement.
In less than ten days, he had already amassed an army of 14,000! This speed was simply terrifying!
Moreover, this army is exceptionally powerful in combat.
Dealing with these bandits is an absolute crushing victory!
