The moon had already disappeared, but there were still many stars blinking in the sky, looking down at the scene that was happening in Texas City. The Texas migration began.

Li Ze only gave tens of thousands of people in Dezhou City three days to prepare. He either left or died, and there was no third option.

In three days, countless fresh heads that were cut off were added to the city. Here, there were both Zhu and Ma clans, and some were caught by the Xinyue Fox team led by the fox hunting outside during these three days.

Li Ze was disgusted with this bloody high-pressure method from the bottom of his heart, but he had to do so. He needed to create a no-man's land between Henghai and Wuyi.

The war between Chengde and Zhenwu and Lu Long cannot be ended in a short period of time. The Chengde army, which had lost a large number of main elites, only had the ability to resist, but would not have the power to fight back. At least this situation will continue until winter comes before it will be alleviated.

Therefore, in the next half a year, Li Ze could foresee that it would be impossible to get support from Chengde. He needed to independently deal with the invasion of the Henghai Army. At this time, Chengde also needed him to independently block this side.

When Henghai and Lu Long merge, they will inevitably regard Chengde in the dilemma as a piece of fat. The more tenacious Li Anguo fights in Shenzhou, the more Zhu Shou will like Henghai, because this means the emptiness behind Chengde. Zhu Bin is just a front-line battle. Zhu Shou wants to take Yizhou as his first foothold and then peek at Zhenzhou. That is where Zhu Shou really wants.

Now that Zhang Zhongwu has torn off the last fig leaf of the Tang Dynasty, who has some strength in his hands has no idea what to do? As King Feng of Zhenwu analyzed, once Zhu Shou can take over Zhenzhou, Zhaozhou and other places, his strength can indeed leap forward. Why should he follow Zhang Zhongwu as a little brother? Wouldn't it be better to be the master of his own country?

If the sea is coming, Li Ze will not have much ability to resist.

Therefore, hundreds of miles from Texas to Yizhou must become a deserted and uninhabited no-man's land.

The Heng Navy could not get any supplies on this land and could not recruit a civilian. Everything must be transported from hundreds of miles away.

When the army fights, logistics support is the top priority. Without sufficient logistics support and without the general, he would have a scruple-free long-distance raid, the outcome would probably be terrible.

The subordinates of Henghai were already poor, and the people's riots broke out again and again under their rule, which made Henghai's own burden even heavier. The hundreds of miles of unmanned land was enough to make Zhu Shouwang deter him. Even if he wanted to fight, the troops sent out would be limited. If he really wanted to launch tens of thousands of troops to attack, the logistical pressure would be enough to drag him down.

In this battle, Li Ze not only wanted to protect his old nest Wuyi, but also to his reputation in the entire Chengde region. Although Li Che died, it did not mean that he could get on the throne smoothly. But if he won this battle and defended Chengde's back, so that Chengde's main force had no worries when facing the Zhenwu Lulong Army, then his reputation would truly plunge into the hearts of Chengde people.

At that time, when you enter the most core level of virtue, you will have enough confidence.

Of course, while defending Wuyi, it is also a process of accumulating strength by oneself. Of course, people are the most important part of all strengths.

After sweeping Dezhou City, Li Ze can be said to have made a fortune. Zhu Bin's wealth made him shocked. The Ma family was also icing on the cake. Even though he added pressure from so many people, Li Ze thought that it would be absolutely no problem to support the previous year with his gains in this battle.

After all, I made millions of dollars in Texas City.

Of course, there are ways to spend more money. Many ideas have been circling in Li Ze's mind, but these will only be implemented one by one after he returns to Wuyi. These hundreds of miles will not be so smooth.

Leaving one's hometown has always been a pain in the hearts of the Chinese. If they are not really unable to survive, no one is willing to leave their hometown. Of course, these people are full of resentment towards Li Ze, and they will not be peaceful along the way. They will be even more unlikely to get faster.

Zhu Shou, who came to Henghai, would never watch him escape safely as he plundered his people. Even if he was not ready, there was no problem sending certain troops to pursue him.

Therefore, there must be a good battle to fight on the way home. Only by winning this battle can you be considered truly safe.

Standing above the city, there was thick smoke everywhere within the range of his eyes. The Wuyi Army was faithfully carrying out Li Ze's orders. All villages, towns, and crops that had grown very well turned into ashes in the flames. The rise of each thick smoke represents the lifelong efforts of countless people, slowly disappearing.

Under the city, the crying sounds were deafening.

"Shi Zhuang, I finally lived the kind of person I hate the most!" Looking at the ordinary people who were lying on the ground and crying loudly at the burning crops outside the city, Li Ze said quietly to Shi Zhuang beside him.

"Ah?" Shi Zhuang didn't react for a moment.

"I read history books and often indignate to the officials, powerful people, and even the emperor who harmed the people. I often fantasize about what to do if I become power and rule. I imagine that I will become the blue sky of the people, worshipped by the people, and leave my name in history. But now what do you think I am like? Isn't it the kind of person I once hated the most?" Li Ze's eyes were a little wet, not because of the tragic scene outside the city, but because of his own illusion.

"Today's suffering is for the blessing of the future." Seeing Li Ze who was a little disobedient, Shi Zhuang explained warmly. "Young Master might as well think from another perspective. If you don't do this, then once Henghai enters Yizhou, Zhenzhou, and even the Chengde is destroyed, the people who are suffering are not just a little bit in front of you. That is a million old surnames. It is impossible to sacrifice a few people for the welfare of the majority. What's more, the young master just moved. In history, in order to achieve such a strategic goal, it is not unavailable for all the people in a certain area. Compared with those people, the young master is considered a bodhisattva. Doing this now actually contains many risks."

Li Ze sighed: "This is my bottom line."

Shi Zhuang smiled slightly: "They have at least one life, and as long as they are alive, nothing else is worth talking about. Young Master, do you think so?"

"That's right, but why are they? Just because of Zhu Shou's ambition alone, these countless people were in pain, which seems to be angering." Li Ze shook his head and said, "Shi Zhuang, how do you avoid such a situation in the future?"

Shi Zhuang was stunned, "Young Master, given the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that this situation will become more and more serious in the future. Perhaps in a few decades, the world will once again form a unified pattern and hope will appear."

"Great unification, hehe, great unification!" Li Ze raised his head and looked at the distant horizon. He was silent and never spoke again. Shi Zhuang looked at Li Ze's side face and remained silent.

The Tang Dynasty is still in its nominal unification, but in fact, dozens of Jiedu governors ruled the country. How difficult is it to complete the prosperous Tang Dynasty?

There are nearly 30,000 people in Dezhou City, and there will be more villages along the way. The people of the town are forced to join the ranks of migration. According to the initial estimate, the population of Dezhou to be moved to Wuyi will eventually reach 100,000. This is actually an extremely large project, so Shi Zhuang said that Li Ze's risk of doing this is not small.

But as Li Ze said, risks and opportunities coexist. Once they are successfully completed and the initial difficult period is overcome, Li Ze's strength will make a qualitative leap.

Li Mi trotted up to the top of the city and bowed to Li Ze: "Young Master, Tu Erye has already prepared the place, it's time for you to set off."

Li Ze nodded, reached out to Shi Zhuang, and tightly grasped Shi Zhuang's big hand.

"I'll leave the rest to you. This battle is definitely not easy to fight, but we must win."

"Young Master, don't worry, there is no problem with this battle." Shi Zhuang said relaxedly. "Young Master has made every plan. This plan is enough to make Henghai suffer a big loss in front of us. Then, at least within this year, they will no longer have the ability to launch an attack, and after this year, they will not have another chance."

Li Ze patted Shi Zhuang on the shoulder and said no more. On-the-scene decision-making on the battlefield is not his strength. Even if he has a lot of ideas and opinions, it is best not to say it out, so as not to disturb Shi Zhuang's ideas.

Those who followed Li Ze were the three thousand black-clothed soldiers brought by Tu Hu from behind and less than five hundred soldiers. Li Ze handed over all the remaining people to Shi Zhuang.

Five hundred personal guards and one thousand five hundred soldiers, this is all the power at hand of Shi Zhuang.

But they don’t know what kind of scene Henghai will bring out.

The place of the battle is in this Texas City.

Li Ze rode his horse and whipped away. On the top of the city, Shi Zhuang, Shen Congxing, Li Hao, Chen Bing, Chu Sheng, Liu Dai and others all bowed their fists and saluted. They waited until they could no longer see Li Ze's figure, and then everyone put down their hands.

"Everyone, it depends on us next. In this battle, we cannot lose and cannot afford to lose. If we win, we will be a new world. If we lose, we will have nothing." Shi Zhuang said solemnly.

"I understand!" The generals responded with a loud voice.

Just as Li Ze led his army to escort this migrant army to marching towards Yizhou, the thousand cavalry from Cangzhou, the thousand soldiers from Dizhou, and the three thousand soldiers from the palace were also heading towards Dezhou day and night.

This migratory army can travel thirty miles a day, which is amazing, but it is not too difficult for a light army to travel 180 miles a day. Cavalry will be faster.
