Chapter 1538: Conquest of the Empire (34)
The speed of the cavalry was fast, and the rumble was getting louder and louder. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhou Xiang and the dog baby didn't dare to raise their heads, their palms were full of cold sweat, seeing that the captain said so terrifyingly, Zhou Xiang and the dog baby couldn't help but wonder if their choice was wrong.
The captains didn't hear the horses' hooves at all, but instead concentrated on pushing the bucket cart, and even occasionally stopped to pat their backs to stretch their waists and wipe their sweat with their sleeves.
Suddenly, the rumbling sound instantly stopped, and this strange contrast made Zhou Xiang subconsciously look up, which made Zhou Xiang's eyes can't leave.
I saw hundreds of black-clothed and black-armored fierce knights in the center, a beautiful woman with snow-white armor and clothing, a delicate appearance, and a weak body, quietly riding on a white horse, and Qiushui's eyes inadvertently glanced past Zhou Xiang.
At this moment, a feeling of satisfaction and regret mixed together was like seeing a flash in the pan, and it naturally appeared in Zhou Xiang's heart.
The cavalry stopped, and the dozen or so pretentious captains could no longer pretend to go on, and all looked up, and then looked like they had just seen it, and then immediately stood up and saluted, and shouted: "See the commander-in-chief." ”
Zhou Xiang and the dog baby saw this frame, and immediately knelt on the ground, the dog baby put his head on the ground, and Zhou Xiang peeked at Zhou Wen carefully.
Zhou Wen looked at the appearance of the captains and the bucket cart beside them, and said with a smile: "You guys, this is too fake, right?" You can't really be so deaf that you haven't heard the sound of horses' hooves yet, right? ”
When more than a dozen captains heard this, they all squeezed out reluctant smiles, embarrassed.
Just when Zhou Xiang was intoxicated by Zhou Wen's casual smile, a very magnetic voice made him sober up: "It's not always the case, like this person is the one who really made the effort, what's your name?" ”
Zhou Xiang shifted his gaze and saw a black-armored cavalryman next to the beauty stretching out his hand and pointing at his captain and asking.
When Zhou Xiang was surprised that this guy who was just an ordinary cavalryman was so angry, he was even more surprised to see that after the more than a dozen captains spoke out in this cavalry, they all knelt down and kowtowed, and then lay on the ground and shouted: "My subordinates meet my lord, my lord is well?" ”
Listening to the voice, it was very respectful, but the strange thing was that there was a taste of joy, panic and nervousness in this respectful feeling.
Zhou Xiang, who was dumbfounded by shock, maintained a posture of raising his head slightly, which also made him see the knight frowning, and then waved his hand as if sighing: "I'm fine, get up." ”
After the dozen or so captains got up, they bowed their heads respectfully and stood with their hands tied, while the captain of Zhou Xiang forced the excitement and bowed his head and said: "The captain of the 118th Slave Brigade under his subordinates, the first-class soldier and the low-rank strong warrior - Nangong Feng, see my lord." ”
"Nangong Peak? People from the Nangong family? ”
This knight said a family that Zhou Xiang had never heard of, but seeing that this person who was obviously a super big man could actually name this family, and his own captain actually looked proud, which made Zhou Xiang understand that this was not an ordinary family, he had never heard of it, but he had little knowledge.
The knight chatted with the captain for a few words, and praised him verbally, and then Zhou Xiang realized that it was because of himself and the dog baby that this big man misunderstood the captain.
In this regard, where did Zhou Xiang and the dog baby dare to defend themselves, are they not afraid of being eaten raw by the captain? At this time, Zhou Xiang didn't dare to peek at the beauty in white armor and white clothes.
The cavalryman gave a few words of encouragement as he left, and these few words actually made the captains feel deeply honored, and began to celebrate each other.
And the most important thing is that they began to blackmail Zhou Xiang's captain, and the captain not only was not annoyed, but proudly agreed.
Zhou Xiang, who returned to the construction site, was a little annoyed, didn't he look for an opportunity? Why did you finally see the big guys and not even show a performance?
It's just that if I think that if I open my mouth randomly, I am afraid that such a disparity in status will cause the dissatisfaction of that big man, and he will definitely be strangled to death by the captain immediately. Alas, although it is said that it is a chance, if the person who gave it is too high-status, I am afraid it is not a good thing.
Zhou Xiang, who was thinking wildly, suddenly found that the slave soldiers around him were looking at him with jealous red eyes, although Zhou Xiang was a little confident in his own strength, and he was also confident in the three stupid big men under his command, but he was not confident that he could stop so many people!
Seeing that his boss was ignorant, the dog baby couldn't help but remind: "Captain, just now the captain's personal soldiers came to announce, saying that you have performed well and can bear more burdens, and you have been promoted to the team leader!" ”
Zhou Xiang blinked, didn't he, he just made the captain grow a face, and he was actually promoted like this? Too child's play, right?
The big man just praised a few words verbally, how did he make the captain so excited?
Or is that big man terrifyingly high, or is it the Overseer?!
For Zhao Hu's old retainers, slave soldiers are not a matter at all, they are worse than the civil defense team, and it doesn't matter at all to appoint a squad leader or something, so Zhou Xiang became the squad leader who commanded twenty-five people because the captain was happy.
Because he was the first squad leader in the team, and everyone saw Zhou Xiang's dead face and follow the captain to push the bucket cart, Zhou Xiang's reputation for being good at finding opportunities immediately spread throughout the team.
When everyone was either sincere, jealous or false, Zhou Xiang couldn't help but think of the hazy figure of the beauty like an epiphany.
This kind of thing that happened at the grassroots level, Zhao Hu couldn't know at all, after he inspected the progress of the trench, he nodded with satisfaction, and said to Zhou Wen: "Now it depends on how many days we can block the Kate Cavalry Division, and it also depends on whether we can attract the Cavalry Division here." ”
"Please rest assured, the officers will definitely complete the Lord's mission." Of course, Zhou Wen knew why Zhao Hu was so worried.
The reason why Zhao Hu was a little unconfident about such a large army operation was because none of his officers could disagree with his plan, and it was great to make up for the corners. It's not that their subordinates don't dare to mention it, it's that their knowledge limits them to come up with better plans.
It's not that Zhao Hu is willing to belittle the abilities of his subordinates, just think about who the senior military attaches under Zhao Hu are.
The two brothers Loklofei, who were born as official slaves, were just thugs before becoming official slaves, and now after years of forging chains, they are finally able to command 10,000 people, but they only know simple tactics, let them fight bigger battles, I'm afraid they will be dizzy and can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest!
And the old knife is a small herdsman on the grassland, and it is great to carry out some sneak attacks with thousands of cavalry, which is better at raising horses than others.
As for the other officers who have been collected in the Southeast Peninsula, not to mention, all of them are 100 generals, and a very small number of 1,000 generals cannot be reused at all.
As for Liu Ming, a real general, he is satisfied, but unfortunately what he is good at is commanding warships to fight, and it is the navy and not the army!
But now he is in dire need of high-ranking army officers.
Li Haoran? Regardless of his status as a newcomer, just thinking about his performance in commanding the attack on the city, you know that he is only at an intermediate level.
On the contrary, there are many talented people on the civilian side, and the most experienced is Bikud, the former provincial governor, who is very good at government affairs, and there are not a few officials who have a set of other aspects.
The Qin family in the southeast peninsula alone has cultivated a large number of low-level officials for themselves.
On the Empire's side, since he erected the banner of Overseer, he has caused an influx of literati living in seclusion in the countryside, although many of these people can only be used as teachers, but there are also many talented people with good abilities.
It can be said that as long as it is not a geometric development, there is no need to worry about civil affairs at all.
Is it not possible that there will be no strategic deployment and no general war without high-ranking officers? Of course not, the enemy won't give you time to develop.
Therefore, Zhao Hu, who had no choice, had no choice but to formulate a campaign goal by himself, and then fill in the conditions needed to complete this goal one by one, and then distribute these conditions to various departments, asking them to calculate how much time it would take to complete such conditions and how much manpower and material resources would be required.
When these materials are collected, let the officers discuss them, and finally send these tasks to them.
Since everyone knows their tasks and what they should do after completing them, these officers of average level can also complete Zhao Hu's goals very well.
It seems to be very complicated to say, but in fact, it is just to expand and complicate the original program tasks issued by the Qin family.
Seeing Zhao Hu pondering, Zhou Wen certainly understood what Zhao Hu was thinking, and couldn't help but say aloud: "Lord, the minister thinks that according to our current system, even if there are no famous generals, the enemy army can be defeated, and all famous generals are not also trained from ordinary officers?" Maybe a few big battles will be fought, and a few famous generals will be raised in our army. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Hu couldn't help but be stunned, and then said with a smile: "Haha, what you said is that all famous generals can only be cultivated after countless battles and bloody battles, and now we have only fought a few battles?" Actually chasing a celebrity? It's really wishful thinking! It's still down-to-earth that's fundamental! Speaking of the back, Zhao Hu couldn't help but sigh.
"Lord, it stands to reason that the periphery of the empire is full of enemies, in the early stage of the empire's civil strife, the surrounding countries also directly dispatched large armies to attack the border, how come it is that now when the civil strife is more vigorous, these surrounding countries are still circling in the border area?" Zhou Wen asked.
