Neither Wuliebu nor Jiemu were interested in Zhang Shixun. Their main target now was Tokyo City.
As long as we capture the capital of the Song Dynasty, the war will be won.
On January 8th, they began to attack the city.
The Battle of Tokyo officially began.
Guo Yaoshi did not participate in the first round of siege. His task was to collect fodder for the Jin army.
With an army of nearly 100,000, and mainly composed of cavalry, the daily consumption of war horses is not a small number.
Thousands of "resentful soldiers" under Guo Yaoshi plundered everywhere every day, madly torturing the people of the Song Dynasty and snatching all the food and grass they could get.
At the same time, he also secretly investigated the whereabouts of the bean feed in Moutuogang. That batch of bean feed was not a small amount. If it could be brought back, it would solve most of the feed problem for the Jin army's war horses.
One day, Yaoshi Guo was sitting in the tent with his chin in his hand, in a daze. He had just been called over by Jiemu and scolded. The reason was simple: the fodder he had robbed was too little, and some of the Jin army's horses had begun to starve.
Pharmacist Guo was almost worried to death.
It is winter now, and there is no other way except to rob the meager food and fodder stored by the people of the Song Dynasty.
A subordinate walked into the tent and reported, "Commander, the servant from Moutuogang who was captured yesterday has confessed."
"Oh!" Pharmacist Guo suddenly became excited. "What did he say?"
"Some of the war horses from Moutuogang were transported to Hebei, and the rest were sent to Tokyo..."
"I don't care about the horses. What about the bean feed? Where is the bean feed?"
"I don't know much about this person, but one of the people who came to transport the soybeans was from Gao Laozhuang."
"Gao Laozhuang?"
Pharmacist Guo rolled his eyes. Gao Laozhuang wine was also his favorite. The weather in the north was cold, and people loved to drink. Gao Laozhuang wine was strong, and was highly praised by the people of Liao and even Jin.
Today, Gaolaozhuang wine is sold far and wide to Daxia and Liao. Of course, Liao no longer exists and has become Jin.
The royal family and military generals of the Jin Dynasty loved Gaolaozhuang wine the most. Every time they conquered a place, the first thing they would grab was not gold, silver or jewelry, but Gaolaozhuang wine.
Pharmacist Guo certainly knew that the owner of Gao Lao Zhuang was Zhang Tianshi's cousin, and that Gao Lao Zhuang wine was brewed by the two of them together.
"Commander, I speculate that the bean materials from Moutuogang were probably taken away by Zhang Tianshi and secretly hidden in Zhang Xiaozhuang and Gao Laozhuang."
Pharmacist Guo stood up and paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back. He didn't dare to disbelieve the rumors about Master Zhang, but he also didn't dare to believe them completely.
If you lead troops to attack Zhang Tianshi's manor, if he summons thunder from the sky, your life will be in danger.
If we don’t attack, how will we solve the problem of bean materials?
When he surrendered to the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji took him to Moutuogang to play polo. He saw with his own eyes the mountains of bean materials in Moutuogang.
As long as he could get the beans, he would be able to complete the task assigned to him by the Jin Marshal.
The Jin Dynasty’s military law was harsh. If a mission was not completed, the punishment would be a beating and dismissal at the very least, or even beheading at the worst.
Wuliebu was easy to deal with, but Jiemu was not so easy to deal with. This guy was too cruel and would chop off people's heads at any time.
Pharmacist Guo walked around the tent for a long time before finally making up his mind.
He instructed the man, "Gather all the gold and silver in the camp and load it onto the carts."
The men did not dare to delay and left immediately.
After an incense stick of time, Pharmacist Guo brought more than 20 of his men and drove two mule carts out of the military camp.
Inside Zhang Xiaozhuang.
Zhang Shixun was playing chess with Li Shishi.
He held a white piece between his fingers and said to Li Shishi with a smile, "Madam Li, if I can just push it here and then push it back, your piece will be in jeopardy."
As he spoke, he slapped the white piece in his hand: "Point!"
Li Shishi pursed her lips and smiled, "Sir, don't get carried away. You only thought about eating me, but you didn't care about your head... well, you forgot to fill your own loopholes."
She picked up a black chess piece and gently placed it on the chessboard with her slender hands. "Top!"
Zhang Shixun's eyes suddenly widened.
Oh my god!
Just as Li Shishi said, he was really only thinking about eating her chess piece, but he forgot that his dragon only had one eye, and Li Shishi broke the other eye with a push.
He could have done the work, just repaired his hand, but it was too late now, his second eye was broken by her.
Once the dragon is eaten, there is no chance of a comeback in this game, it is a complete failure.
Zhang Shixun grabbed a handful of chess pieces and threw them onto the board. "I lost."
Li Shishi looked at him with a smile and said nothing.
"Oh! I almost forgot. If you lose, I'll make you watch Journey to the West." Zhang Shixun took out his mobile phone from his arms.
Li Shishi took the phone and started fiddling with it.
"Sir, I heard from Saisai that this magic weapon can instantly draw a portrait of a person. Can you tell me how to draw it?"
Zhang Shixun looked at her charming face and blurted out: "Let me kiss you, and I will teach you."
Li Shishi's face suddenly turned red and she gave him a reproachful look.
Ding Dusai begged her many times to marry Zhang Shixun together with her. Although she did not say it out loud, she had already agreed in her heart.
Putting aside Zhang Shixun's status as a god, compared with the emperor, Zhang Shixun is like a mountain, a person who can be entrusted with one's life.
From the moment she saw him, Master Li had fallen in love with him, but because of her embarrassing identity and her reserve, she had always hidden her feelings in the deepest part of her heart and dared not show them.
Now, Zhang Shixun, who was usually reserved, even said "a kiss". Li Shishi was infected by his emotion and couldn't help but blurt out: "Wait a little longer."
The voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it.
Zhang Shixun was overjoyed and was about to take further action when he heard footsteps outside.
Yue Fan arrived and stood outside the living room, announcing loudly, "Master, there's someone outside the manor who wants to see you. He claims to be Guo Yaoshi, the vanguard officer of the Great Jin Kingdom."
"Pharmacist Guo?"
Zhang Shixun stood up with a jerk. "How dare this bastard come looking for me... Yue Fan, how many people did he bring with him?"
"Besides Pharmacist Guo, there were more than twenty others, driving two mule carts. Except for Pharmacist Guo, who had a long sword at his waist, no one else was carrying any weapons."
"He's playing bachelor with me." Zhang Shixun sneered and walked out of the living room. "Come on! Meet him with me."
At the gate of the village, hundreds of farmhands lined up, waiting for the arrival of the owner of the village.
Since returning to Zhang Xiaozhuang, Zhang Shixun has begun training his farmhands in accordance with the standards of regular soldiers.
Not only that, he also went a step further and brought out the training methods of special forces in later generations and tortured them desperately.
These farmhands are different from the soldiers of the First Army. Most of them are farmers who work all year round. They are much stronger than soldiers, and they are simple-minded and can endure hardships.
The key point is that they revered Zhang Shixun as if he were a god. The reasons were simple: first, Zhang Tianshi was a god. Second, Zhang Tianshi ensured they had enough to eat.
