Chapter 152: Expansion 2

It's just that no matter whether it is the soldiers of the Zhao family or the killers of the Zhao family, no one wants to escape training, but they all work hard to train themselves, especially the killers, who are completely desperate training!

As for why? Why can you persist in this training that ordinary people have a numb scalp after listening to it, and practice by yourself? It's normal, one is that the Zhao family is very rich in food and medical care for the soldiers and killers, the soldiers all have fish and meat, and the killers have other meats in addition to fish, the soldiers can eat a full meal, and the killer is a meal of white rice!

When this treatment was exposed, and it also caused dissatisfaction among the soldiers, Zhao Hu was relaxed, and directly said that those who were willing to turn into assassins could be transformed by themselves, but after visiting a killer's training, most of the soldiers flinched, and later saw that the killer ate better than himself and used better medicine than himself, not only did he not feel envious, but looked at the killer with a sympathetic face.

Killers, naturally, treat the soldiers proudly, and they practice hard, but they can complete the task more easily, and they are also more able to save their lives! And the merits established are much more than these soldiers!

In the Zhao family, the gift of samurai Zhixing is only related to merit, nothing else, and people without merit cannot obtain Zhixing, even if it is a relative of the lord, it is impossible to get Zhixing in vain! In the Zhao family, status and wealth are only distinguished by the amount of knowledge and action, and the acquisition of knowledge and action is naturally related to the number of meritorious deeds established!

I practiced so hard and practiced more, in order to earn meritorious service in exchange for knowledge! Don't look at these soldiers who can swagger in the sun, they can only hide in the dark, but when the council is in the council, the killer with Zhixing still sits on the upper seat, and when the killer with Zhixing walks in the light, the samurai soldiers who are lower than him still have to salute respectfully!

This kind of meritocracy rule is the best treatment for killers, because as long as you work hard to establish merit, then you will naturally get land, status, wealth, and life under the sun!

And compared to the soldiers, these killers have a lot more opportunities to get meritorious deeds than them! Don't you see that many clever soldiers turned into assassins without hesitation after learning about the situation?

Soldiers and killers are training desperately, meat is guaranteed, scientific training, and naturally these two arms are trained to be extremely strong. And during the spring ploughing period, the logistics were also prepared early, money and food, for the Zhao family, who had plundered all the wealth of Lingwu City, it was not a matter at all, and it was ready with a casual stroke.

Of course, the logistics clerks did not know whether Zhao Hu was going to teach a lesson to several families in Donghai County, or whether he directly occupied Donghai County, they asked Zhao Hu, and Zhao Hu couldn't be sure, this had to depend on the situation at the time.

The clerks who had no choice but to prepare according to the preparations for the annexation of Donghai County, and the logistics clerks were so prepared that the government clerks, who had been too busy to sit down, had to increase the work of recruiting people again, and transferred a group of people to prepare to take over the future Donghai County.

Under such busyness, the spring ploughing period ended quickly, and the farmers entered the slack time again, and Zhao Hu, who had been preparing for a month or two, naturally began to move.

As the Zhao family's logistical documents began to recruit masters in the entire territory, everyone understood that the Zhao family was once again preparing to expand externally. For this kind of recruitment, the men, women and children in Zhao Hu's territory were very excited, and they all signed up enthusiastically.

It's a normal thing, every time they go out to war, not only are they not in the slightest danger, they can also eat enough, but they can also get a reward, do a lot of work, and even be lucky to perform significantly in front of the samurai, and they can also get a team leader to do it, and they can eat, drink and reward more than others, and some super lucky guys will also be favored by the clerk and directly become the servants of the various halls of the Zhao family! That's equivalent to eating public food!

Although it can't be compared with the samurai, it is also superior, and the way out for future generations is also one level higher than that of other lords, at least for the work of His Royal Highness the Zhao family, and there are many samurai who know him.

There are naturally a lot of people who are always paying attention to Zhao Hu, and when they saw the Zhao family making such a big fanfare, they all became vigilant, especially the concubines of the Ling family and those lords of the branch city, who were originally ready to move, and finally waited until the spring ploughing passed, and they were ready to pull the men and horses to kill these rebels and competitors, and they all hurriedly strengthened the city wall and entered the defensive state, and at the same time immediately sent envoys to reiterate their friendship to Zhao Hu.

Originally, a retainer proposed a sneak attack, but Zhao Hu ignored it and joked, he now has 5,000 Shenlong soldiers, and it is time to officially show his strength to the world. Wherever you need a sneak attack, you have to make all enemies collapse openly! Only in such a frontal battle can we build the soul of our army!

Listen to what Zhao Hu said. Everyone felt that it was right, and they began to act with great fanfare.

It's just that when Zhao Hu began to dispatch troops, he startled everyone again, because Zhao Hu left behind the clerical warriors and miscellaneous servants who were in charge of government affairs, other logistics warriors, all the samurai and all the soldiers, and actually did not leave a single soldier to dispatch!

The retainers all discouraged. But Zhao Hu didn't care, and shouted grinningly: "Now except for the Ling family's vote. Only Donghai County is connected to our territory, and our whole army is dispatched to fight Donghai County, does the Ling family's dead pure seed dare to provoke us? ”

The retainers were speechless for a moment, looking at the envoys sent by the many forces of the Ling family who were visiting everywhere in the city to express their friendship. Thinking about the contradictions between them again, they really don't have the courage to attack the Zhao family! Unless the Zhao family's 5,000 troops were directly wiped out in Donghai County, even if the 5,000 troops stayed in Donghai County, they would not dare to offend the Zhao family.

It's not that no one thought of the possibility of a sneak attack by the four major families, but these four major families have lost their troops in a cottage with only a few hundred people, and let them invade the Zhao family? Unless the Ling family's dead pure breed does not resist and surrenders directly, there is this possibility!

And will the people of the Ling family surrender? The four major families didn't think that they would swallow them all at once, there would definitely be surrender, and after a battle, there would definitely be no one to surrender. Even if there is, it will be stopped by the small forces and the big alliance!

After understanding this, everyone stopped saying anything. It's just that no one thought that Zhao Hu was dispatched with the whole army. It's one thing not to take the Ling family's dead seed in your eyes, it's more that the money, food, and materials of his Zhao family are all in Linhe City in Tianlan Township.

After all, Zhao Hu's initial strategy was to get Donghai County, and it was much more convenient to put money and grain in Linhe City to fight against Donghai County.

So in such a situation, it didn't matter if Ling Wucheng was lost. As long as the time comes, it's okay to call back.

And more importantly, it doesn't matter if the supplies are looted. As long as Zhao Hu supports until the autumn harvest, the planting space will produce a large number of materials and money and grain, which is the real reliance of Zhao Hu to directly dispatch the whole army regardless of it! As long as there is this golden finger, plus an army of 5,000, Zhao Hu is already invincible!

Zhao Hu's whole army was naturally investigated by the secret agents, but this information fell into the hands of various forces, but they all scoffed, and the idiots didn't believe that any family was pouring out of the nest when they were preparing to invade, they must have hidden many troops to guard the lair, and they shouted for the whole army of 5,000 to dispatch more than 3,000 troops. I can't say that I'm going to use this reason to shade the guy who doesn't have long eyes.

For Zhao Hu's arrogant action, the surrounding forces were a little helpless, because the geographical location of the Zhao family determined that he would only face two enemies, one was the Ling family, who was beaten to a mess and he was also in a mess, and the other was Donghai County, where more than a dozen Wanshi lords had been fighting each other for many years. It can be said that apart from these two places, the Zhao family has no other enemies.

Therefore, when looking at the huge army composed of the Zhao family's soldiers and masters, leaving Lingwu City and entering Tianlan Township, the idiots knew that the Zhao family's target this time was Donghai County.

And after understanding this, the dead pure seeds of the Ling family couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and while watching and watching, they were ready to move again. It's not about taking revenge on the enemy of the Zhao family. Instead, he is waiting for the Zhao family to really start a war with Donghai County, and then he can ignore the Zhao family and concentrate on teaching the rebellion around him!

But the small forces, the big alliance and the four major families were a little hesitant, they didn't know what to do to stop the expansion of the Zhao family? It seems to be very difficult, with the geographical location of the Zhao family that has been isolated, there is no way to intervene at all.

Disrupting the Zhao family through economic means? The Zhao family, who had plundered the Ling family's inventory for many years, could live a fertile few years without relying on anyone, with a lot of money and food, and a lot of equipment.

Can't start from the Zhao family? Can only support the lords of Tokai County? This is also a difficult problem.

How hard is it? Because all the forces in Donghai County are Wanshi Lords, they are not part of the Grand Alliance, but a very unique group of forces in Dongsheng Kingdom.

The reason why this is so is because these Ten Thousand Stone Lords look down on the big alliance formed by the territorial families below a thousand stones, which is specifically against the previous five major families, but they are afraid of the existence of the five hundred thousand stone lords.

If they don't come low, they can't come high, so they nest in Donghai County to fight for life and death, and as soon as the autumn harvest arrives, they will go to Tianlan Township, which is neighboring to loot, and live their own lives, not very much connected with the two major power groups of Dongshengguo.
