After the meeting ended, everyone's face was full of excitement and excitement, and everyone was gearing up, thinking that they could make some money through this big battle.
After all, so many cottages have collected tens of millions of gold coins in total.
Tens of millions of gold coins, what is that concept? It is equivalent to the fiscal revenue of a large principality for one year.
However, such a grand duchy naturally has a lot of expenses for a year, and there are many places that need money. But this time, if more heads can be beheaded, then the money will be huge. Getting a few million is not a dream.
From their point of view, the combination of those bandits back then could easily defeat Xiao Zhantian's team, and they would definitely be able to easily defeat Xiao Yu this time, after all, their number is really too many.
In fact, from this we can also see the status of the Lion King on this continent. Even for a territory like the Wang family, it is possible to spend a few million to buy a free magic necklace, but what about the finances of the Lion King's territory? Although they looted a lot, they all bought equipment for the soldiers. Even with the looted items, antiques and the like, they were worth a few million gold coins at most.
If a principality like the Principality of Kahn has an annual fiscal revenue of more than 10 million gold coins, they can raise so many soldiers, own so many cities, and have so many people.
If Xiao Yu confronted a tyrant like the Duchy of Kahn head-on, he would definitely not be able to please him. That is, the name of Master Theodore shocked Grand Duke Simlai and made him dare not deal with Xiao Yu head-on.
As for the Principality of Wei, although its fiscal revenue is several million a year, because of Wei Hao's extravagance and lack of ambition, its military strength is actually much worse.
If Xiao Yu and the Duke of Wei go to war, I dare not say what will happen to the Duke of Wei now, but if we defend the city, we will definitely not be afraid of the other party.
This is why Xiao Yu dared to snatch Mu Huali over just like that.
If things were revealed one day, he would definitely turn against the Duke of Wei, but at that time, Xiao Yu was thinking of some excuse to annex the Duke of Wei.
At night, Xiao Yu immediately went to Lei Bao to explain what happened today. Otherwise, without Xiao Yu's explanation, Lei Bao and the others would not be able to see Xie Sanlang's real purpose, and they might give up halfway.
Giving up is still easy to say, if one is not good, Xiao Yu may be sold. Don't look at the fact that Lei Bao is calling Xiao Yu one brother at a time, in fact, if something happens, Lei Bao will definitely not really turn to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu knew this very well. Everyone is just taking advantage of each other.
Arriving at Leibao, sure enough, Xiao Yu's tone already had a twinkle in it. What Xie Sanlang said today made him feel that Xie Sanlang might not want to annex them.
Xiao Yu secretly sighed, these robbers really don't have much insight, and they can't make a big climate. It's just that they seem to be loose, but in fact, because of their large number of people, and they have been in this area for a long time, they are also deeply rooted. A force not to be underestimated.
Xiao Yu then told Lei Bao about Xie Sanlang's real goals, analyzed them one by one, and said: "If Xie Sanlang really has no ambitions, why would he go around and buy the cronies of the village masters?"
After listening to Xiao Yu's explanation, Lei Bao suddenly realized that what Xiao Yu said was indeed the truth. Xie Sanlang seemed to be selfless and always thought of the alliance.
"What a vicious Xie Sanlang." Lei Bao's eyes flickered with brilliance.
Xiao Yu comforted Lei Bao, saying: "Brother, don't get too excited about this matter, this Xie Sanlang is much more cunning than we imagined, we have to think long-term before we can kill him, otherwise, we may be killed by him instead." Eat it up. For the present plan, we should immediately tell the united village owners to let them know Xie Sanlang's vicious intentions, and not to contribute too much in the war. Let's save our strength first, and then wait until Xie Sanlang's horse's feet are exposed. , and go to another village owner to explain these principles, and then we will definitely be able to win more people over. At that time, we can kill Xie Sanlang in one fell swoop."
Xiao Yu knew that this was a wonderful strategy of Xie Sanlang, but it was also a good opportunity for him, as long as he grasped it well, he could unite more people to resist Xie Sanlang.
However, Xiao Yu still has a problem. He has to find a way to find an excuse to rush back to the lion king's territory to lead the defense battle against the attacks of these bandits.
After all, there are too many of these robbers. Although it is said that only half of the troops are dispatched, it has reached more than 100,000 people.
At the beginning, Long Hui inquired about the news that Xie Sanlang had gathered a total of one hundred thousand robbers. In fact, Xie Sanlang himself had an army of more than one hundred thousand people. If these robbers were added, the number reached more than three hundred thousand. A combatable army.
Although these soldiers are not all elite, and some are just stragglers, they must not be underestimated when gathered together.
Xiao Yu didn't expect at first that Xie Sanlang's Feiying Village actually had an army of more than 100,000 people. This is what he only found out after inquiring in detail later.
Xiao Yu felt that behind Xie Sanlang, there must be other people supporting him, otherwise, with Xie Sanlang's own strength, it would be impossible to develop such a large group of troops.
Xiao Yu guessed that the people behind Xie Sanlang were probably from Yunmeng. Because there are nearly 40,000 light cavalry troops in Xie Sanlang's army, which is also the reason for his lack of heavy cavalry.
This kind of combat concept of emphasizing light cavalry and despising heavy cavalry is exactly the consistent combat concept of Yunmeng people, who pay attention to quick surprise combat and are not good at confrontation with phalanxes.
Without the support of the Yunmeng people, would it be easy to gather 40,000 good horses? How much money would it take to buy 40,000 good horses, would the people of Yunmeng sell them
The Lion King Territory serves as a buffer zone between the Yunmeng people and the Tianshi Dynasty. If it can be firmly controlled, then if one day the princes of the Tianshi Dynasty rise together and the world is in chaos, they can easily enter the Central Plains through here. Occupy the rich Tianshi Dynasty territory.
If he was the king of the Yunmeng people, Xiao Yu would definitely not give up on integrating this area.
Xiao Yu could also see the traces of the Yunmeng people from the bandits that had been exterminated before. It was impossible for the Yunmeng people to only support some small gangs of bandits. It was impossible for a large cottage like Xie Sanlang to let them go.
Lei Bao went to explain Xie Sanlang's conspiracy to several other village owners who united together, while Xiao Yu went to find Xie Sanlang, planning to find an excuse to return to the Lion King for a while to resist this wave of attacks.
Those village owners are not all fools, Lei Bao explained to them according to Xiao Yu's analysis, if they still can't see it, then there is nothing to say, find a way to kill this guy, and plant it on Xie Sanlang.
Xiao Yu came to Xie Sanlang's office hall and asked for orders: "I would like to tell the village master, this time I also want to lead the heavy cavalry to fight and make meritorious service for the village master, so as not to let them say that there is no one in our Feiying village. "
Xie Sanlang was reading a book. Hearing what Xiao Yu said, he was startled for a moment, and then he laughed and said, "Commander Zhang is so loyal, it is my blessing. However, there are not many heavy cavalry in the village now. If you bring people I will be very distressed if I get injured. Every heavy cavalry is my treasure. Moreover, this time is a siege battle, and heavy cavalry is not very suitable."
These words, Xiao Yu had actually expected them a long time ago, Xie Sanlang would definitely not let him go. That's why he came to plead for his life on purpose.
Now, on the surface, Xiao Yu has completely surrendered to Xie Sanlang, and has become the commander of the third cavalry in Feiying Village. He belongs to Xie Sanlang, and Xie Sanlang naturally does not want any damage.
Although Xie Sanlang sent 30,000 people there this time, the most among all the cottages, but the ones he sent must be some non-elite troops, and in the real battle, it may not be that many.
How could Xie Sanlang, such a shrewd person, let his beloved heavy cavalry suffer losses. Although he is mainly light cavalry, he also knows the huge role of heavy cavalry in certain occasions, so he naturally attaches great importance to it, otherwise he would not have sent a military division to win over Xiao Yu, a fake mountain eagle.
Xiao Yu frowned fiercely, and said: "To tell you the truth, I have been professionally trained as a knight since I was a child, and what I desire most is to kill the enemy and make meritorious service on the battlefield. The kind of blood that kills the enemy is what I desire most. The so-called raising an army for a thousand days is for a while. Now that there is such a big battle involving hundreds of thousands of people, but I am not allowed to go. The heavy cavalry played an unexpected role and dealt a heavy blow to the enemy."
Xie Sanlang looked at Xiao Yu's appearance, laughed loudly, walked over and patted Xiao Yu's shoulder, and said, "Commander Zhang, I understand your feelings, you and I are actually the same person, so in the future you will definitely Become my most powerful general. However, this time I really don’t plan to send heavy cavalry to join the battle. If you really want to go, just go over there and watch it. You don’t have to go into battle yourself. I assure you, in the near future Afterwards, there will be many big battles to be fought, and there will definitely be opportunities for you to show your skills."
Xiao Yu seemed very disappointed, thought for a while, and finally said: "Then the village master, I will take people to watch it, and let these heavy cavalry see what the real big battlefield looks like. Without your order, I will I will definitely not easily join the heavy cavalry. It has been a long time since I have experienced such a big battle. If a soldier does not fight for a long time, no matter how good a soldier is, he will be disabled. Therefore, I must go and see this big battle for myself, and grow War experience."
After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xie Sanlang showed appreciation in his eyes, and said: "Okay, you can take people with you, but you don't want to be with the big troops, otherwise, I will bring heavy cavalry but not Let you go, they will say that I am playing for selfishness. You should be an independent team, find a place to hide, watch the big battle, if necessary, I will send you a signal to let you join the battle. But, if not My order is absolutely not to allow these heavy cavalry to be put into battle, understand?"
Xiao Yu bowed and said: "The humble officer understands that the army can't do without orders. If a soldier can't obey orders, he is definitely not a good soldier."
Xie Sanlang admired Xiao Yu even more, and said: "It was the most wise decision when I recruited Zhang Commander to go up the mountain. A real soldier is different from those robbers."
The moment Xiao Yu lowered his head, a gleam of scheming success flashed in his eyes.
