Chapter 249: Take Changhe Town lightly
This time, Mo Shen arranged for Montevo and Charles and the recruits to stay at Fort Yongdun, and Luo and others accompanied Mo Shen to Changhe Town, but the interesting thing was that when Mo Shen came to Changhe Town with his army.
Changhe Town has no intention of defense at all, and even the people who come and go are as normal as before, but on both sides of the gate of Changhe Town, two teams of one-man horses are waiting for Mo Shen.
"Bourne!"
"The last general Lester!" See His Highness Mo Shen!
The two armies were led by two shouts.
"What are you ............," Mo Shen asked, squinting his eyes.
"Your Highness Mo Shen, Alfred II is unscrupulous, I have long heard that His Majesty the Old King has passed on the banner spear, the symbol of the Lion Realm, to you, you are the orthodox of the Lion Realm! We are willing to follow His Highness and crusade against Alfred II's rebellion!" Byrne roared loudly.
Mo Shen smiled slightly and said: "Very good, you two are very smart, let's go to the process, you will find out in the future, you will be glad for today's actions!"
Byrne and Lester smiled and let Mo Shen's army into Changhe Town, and Mo Shen ordered Deyoer to arrange Mo Shen's army, and at the same time count the strength of the garrison in Changhe Town, the number of troops, etc.
Mo Shen sat in the City Lord's Mansion with the five of Elo, Teddy, Sorrento, Byrne, and Lester.
Mo Shen quietly used the True Eye to check the attributes of these two, Bourne: Strength 25, Agility 21, Chile 90, good at internal political schemes, loyalty 80.
Lester: Strength 21, Agility 25, Mediocre Ability, Loyalty 60.
Mo Shen has already considered it in his heart, Bourne's ability and loyalty are very good, and he is also a talent who is good at internal affairs, there is a huge country that cannot be handled by martial arts alone, and internal affairs talents are indispensable, like Sorrento, although Chile is much higher than Byrne, but Sorrento is good at fighting and arranging troops.
Bourne, on the other hand, is suitable for managing some work within the country, and is a good talent, which can be used in the future.
"You get to know each other, you will all be comrades in the trenches in the future, Mr. Luo Luo arranged, not only will we have a banquet tonight, I will reward the three armies, and the wine and meat will be enough." Mo Shen said with a smile.
"No!" said Poro.
At night, Changhe Town was full of fire, and the people were also very happy, because Mo Shen announced that in the future, Changhe Town, like Yongdun Fort, would have its tax revenue dropped from 30% to 10%! The gap between these two percent, in the homes of ordinary people, was a lot of money, with which they could improve their lives or save it for emergencies.
When the tax was cut for a few days, Mo Shen's reputation in the Lion Realm increased again, and many people who got the news were looking forward to Mo Shen becoming the king of the Lion Realm, because when the old king was still alive, their taxes were also one percent, but after Alfred II came to power, their taxes increased by two percent.
Mo Shen wanted to say: "Those who have attained the Tao will have much help, and those who have lost the Tao will have little help!" As a good young man in the 21st century, how could he not understand the truth that water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat, and the centripetal force of the people is very important!
At this time, in the palace in the Lion City, Alfred had already smashed a lot of equipment, and his body that had already been hollowed out collapsed on the chair after he vented indiscriminately, he knew that he was finished!
Although there are 3,000 defenders on the right in the Lion City, most of them are new soldiers, and there are only a few elites, only less than a hundred, and after Mo Shen has successfully taken Changhe Town, the total strength has reached more than 2,000 people, and what is even more terrifying is that the battle between Alama and Mo Shen is even more terrifying.
Mo Shen's army of 400 elites, only casualties of less than 100 people, wiped out the Duke of Alama's army of more than 1,500 people, and now he has taken Changhe Town, the elite in Changhe Town He knows that Alama only took away less than 800 elite troops, that is to say, the original garrison of Changhe Town now has as many as 600 elites.
What's even more terrifying is that Duke Elfwan and Duke Brenus have clearly stood on Mo Shen's side, they are not here to suppress bandits at all, but to prevent him from sending troops, and he doesn't understand this reason at all!
After Mo Shen successfully captured Changhe Town, Duke Elfwan and Duke Brennus tacitly came to Changhe Town with their personal guards.
"Two old dukes, Zhou Tu tired, come on, serve fruit and wine! I will hold a banquet tonight to thank the two dukes!" Mo Shen said with a smile.
"Your Highness!" the two responded with a smile.
"Thank you to the two dukes for their help this time, I salute you with this glass of wine!" Mo Shen said, raised his glass and drank it.
Alfwan and Brenus also hurriedly raised their glasses and drank down.
After the two sides flattered each other a few words, Duke Elfwan took the lead in asking: "Your Highness, when will you send troops to attack the Lion City?
"Well, yes, Your Highness, I am looking forward to your ascension to the throne, old man!" said Duke Brennus with a smile.
Mo Shen waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry for the time being, I will have a battle with Alfred II sooner or later, but now is not the time, I will give him a big gift when the time comes!"
Elfwan and Brenus glanced at each other and said, "Waiting for your dispatch at any time, Your Highness!"
"Haha, come on, come on, the two dukes, we are our own family, don't be so polite, come and eat, this roasted whole sheep is a specialty of our side!" Mo Shen said with a smile.
At the dinner, Mo Shen and the two dukes drank a lot of wine, but the wine of this era was not as high as the liquor in the previous life.
"Your Highness Mo Shen has a good amount of wine!
"I didn't expect His Highness to drink so well, admire and admire. Brenus said with a stagger.
"Two dukes, it's getting late tonight, I've ordered someone to arrange the guest room, let's go and rest. Mo Shen said.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" the two men said, standing up.
The next day, the two dukes happily left Changhe Town and returned to their respective main cities, while Mo Shen looked at the official business at hand, thought about it, and called Deyoer and Bourne over.
"Byrne, in the future, these official duties will be entrusted to you, but you have to remember that the principle of people-oriented, you are not allowed to shield the nobles, those nobles are just some people who eat and wait for death, if they don't accept it, then kill them until they obey!" Mo Shen said coldly.
。
"No!"
"Deyoer, you cooperate with Bourne's action, if that nobleman dares to wait for an opportunity to make trouble, it will be killed!" Mo Shen said.
"No!"
At this point, Brenus did not return directly to Crag Bay, but arrived at Lion Lake City with Alfwan.
"Why don't you say Your Highness took the imperial capital, Lion City?" asked Brenus.
"I don't understand what Your Highness means. Alfwan said.
After chatting with Elfwan about the situation on the mainland, Brenus took the people back to Crag Bay in the evening.
After watching Brenus leave, Elvwan looked at Fadel beside him.
"Do you know what Your Highness means?" Alfwan asked.
"My lord, if I guessed correctly, His Highness Mo Shen is worried that the empire will take advantage of the opportunity. Fadell said with a smile.
"Hmm, Empire, what can they take advantage of?" asked Elfwan.
"My lord, although the war between us and the Empire has stopped for the time being, but the armistice agreement will not take effect until ten days later, if His Highness Mo Shen sends troops to Lion City at this time, then the two thousand men and horses stationed in the Seven Crosses Fortress of the Empire are likely to take the opportunity to attack!" said Fadell.
"Well, I see, so what are we going to do next?" Alfwan asked.
"My lord, let's wait and see what happens, if His Royal Highness Mo Shen sends troops to the Lion City, it is best for us to send troops to be stationed between the Seven Cross Fortress and the Lion City, so that the empire will not dare to act rashly, and at the same time, we can be regarded as helping His Highness Mo Shen. Fadell said.
"Just do as you say, I'll go to sleep first, I drank too much yesterday, and now my head still hurts, I really don't know why His Highness Mo Shen's physique is so strong!"
On the boat back to Crag Bay at this time, Brennus asked, "What do you think about this?" ”
A young man beside Brenus said his thoughts lightly, much the same as Fadel, but he suggested that he send troops in Changxiao City when the time comes, and beware of Fieldsway.
