104 Ambition
The army of the Xue Manbu was defeated in this way, and the whole process was unexpectedly easy, except for the battle between Zhao Hao and the general of the Xue Manbu Hong, which was a bit thrilling, the others did not even need to directly fight with the soldiers of the Xue Manbu, and the battle was over.
Many of the elite soldiers of the Black Stone Department even thought that the elite soldiers of the Xue Man Department were too weak and vulnerable at all.
Are the elite soldiers of the Xue Manbu really weak?
Of course not, in terms of personal ability and combat experience, they are much stronger than the strength of the Black Stone Division, and the only thing they are weak is their equipment, if their equipment is similar to the strength of the Black Stone Division, the defeat may be the Black Stone Division.
Zhao Hao naturally understands this truth.
This battle also taught him a lot of things.
For example, how to crush an opponent with equipment.
Another example, how to clean up the master with a strength of more than 10,000 catties on the opposite side.
He found that constantly strengthening and developing equipment could even wipe out the numerical superiority of Xue Man's army!
To put it simply, as long as the sturdy people of the Black Stone Department put on armor, and then each of them had a longbow and a sword or spear, the combat power would be terrifying, and even if all the tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Xue Man Department rushed over, they would not necessarily be their opponents.
Because, the elite soldiers of the Xue Barbarian Department are equipped with animal skins and tree spears, while the elite soldiers of the Black Stone Department are all iron equipment, which is like using flesh and blood against the steel torrent, which is not a level at all, and no matter how many of them are, it is useless.
As for the masters of Xue Man's department with a strength of more than 10,000 catties, in fact, it is not so terrifying, as long as he can cultivate the same number of masters, with the advantage of equipment, against the western wing of the Xue Manbu Wanhu Hou Tumeng, they don't need to be afraid at all, and even, even against the entire Xue Manbu, there is nothing to be afraid of!
The weapons and equipment of the Xue Manbu are so backward that they can lay a huge territory and conquer countless tribes, why can't they have the salt department?
This big victory directly aroused Zhao Hao's ambition, and the strength of Hou Tumeng of the West Wing of the Xue Manbu was nothing more than that, just this could annex countless tribes, why didn't he annex more tribes and make the Youyan Department as powerful as the Xue Manbu?
Once this idea comes to mind, it simply can't be contained.
Who doesn't want to be a big man who calls for wind and rain, even if it is ancient, if you can form a tribe as powerful as Xue Manbu, it will be quite cool.
You must know that there are 50,000 households in the Xue Man's Department, and the masters are like clouds, and the leader of the Xue Man's Department, if he wants to do something, it is definitely a response.
For example, hunting divine beasts, only such big people can do it.
If he fantasizes about hunting the divine beast by relying on the masters of the salt department and the black stone department, I am afraid that it will not be enough to stuff the divine beast between his teeth.
This alone is worth his hard work!
Of course, it is not easy to make the Youyan Department as powerful as Xue Manbu, and it is not something that he can become a reality by thinking about it, he must do his best to continuously expand the strength of the Youyan Ministry.
So, how do you expand the strength of the Shiobu?
First of all, of course, it is to continue to hunt strange beasts, enhance the strength of himself and all his cronies, and even the young and strong people of the salt department, and strive to cultivate a group of masters with a strength of more than 10,000 catties.
In this way, he could not be afraid of the threat of Xue Man's Force.
Of course, if there are only masters with a strength of more than 10,000 catties, it is impossible to compete with the entire Xue Manbu, and this level of strength can roughly compete with the Wanhu Hou Tumeng in the west wing of the Xue Manbu.
As for the strength of the leader of the Xue Man Clan, it is not at the same level as them.
This meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and things can only be taken step by step, at least, at this stage, it would be good to have the strength to resist Tumeng.
Another point is to continue to build weapons and equipment, and try to arm the masters and young people of the salt department as much as possible.
At this time, the young men of the salt department also have ordinary swords in hand, which is definitely far from enough, they must be equipped with armor, bows and arrows, and even heavy weapons such as horse sabers, in this way, the strength of the young men of the salt department is more terrifying, like the equipment of the elite soldiers of the Xue Barbarian Department, it is not a problem for them to fight ten or even dozens of them at a time.
Finally, the most important point is to continue to annex the surrounding tribes and expand the population of the salt department.
At this time, the population of the salt department is too small, a total of less than a hundred, even if you add the black stone department, it is only four or five thousand people, if you want to become a big tribe, it is a joke, at least, you have to expand the population to about 10,000 households, then there is the basis for becoming a big tribe.
Hunting alien beasts and crafting weapons and equipment are relatively simple.
Alien beasts, he just needs to send people to scatter to search, anyway, at this time, ordinary alien beasts basically can't withstand his knife, as long as they find it, then basically they have no way to run.
The matter of building weapons and equipment is simpler, just leave it to Ah Hua and them to do it, anyway, at this time, the first wave of attacks of the Xue Manbu has already been dealt with, at least in the next ten months, they don't have to worry about the retaliation of the Xue Manbu, Ah Hua They don't have to wait with the strength of the Black Stone Department every day, time, yes.
It was this last point that it was a bit troublesome to annex the surrounding tribes, because Zhao Hao didn't know what tribes were around, let alone their specific locations.
It seems that only Cangwu can understand this matter.
After all, the Black Stone Department can be said to be the largest tribe near the Salt Department, and they also fire pottery, and it is estimated that many tribes will ask them to exchange pottery.
After dealing with the first wave of attacks from Xue Man's Tribe, Zhao Hao followed Cangwu, who was still a little apprehensive, to his house, and said directly to the point: "Great Leader Cangwu, what tribes do we have around the Salt Department and the Black Stone Department, you should know better, right?" ”
Cang Wu said a little inexplicably: "Well, I probably know something, what's wrong?" ”
Zhao Hao said lightly: "To be honest, our strength is still a little thin, if the Xue Manbu retaliates with all our might, we will definitely not be able to bear it, so I want to gather the surrounding tribes to enhance our strength and resist the Xue Manbu." ”
This seems to be very beautiful, but in fact, it is an attempt to annex other surrounding tribes.
Before, Cangwu didn't have this kind of thought, because the livelihood of four or five thousand people in the Black Stone Department was enough for him to have a headache, annexing other tribes, just kidding, where did he hunt so much food to feed everyone.
However, it is different now, because they basically don't have to worry about food, and they can't eat it for a few years just because of the existing cattle and sheep in the salt department.
At this time, he subconsciously already thought that the Salt Department and the Black Stone Department were almost one tribe, after all, they had been fighting against the Xue Man Department together, and they had also built a Salt Stone City, and his eldest daughter Ah Yue had become a woman with the leader of the Salt Tribe, and Ah Yue's younger brother Ah Xing would also inherit the position of the leader of the Black Stone Tribe, wouldn't the two tribes be equal to a family?
And with the salt department and the black stone department combined, it does have the strength to swallow other tribes.
Thinking of this, Cang Wu said with interest: "The tribes around us, as far as I know, there are about a dozen large and small, close, like you have a salt department, about half a month away, far away, I have been to a few more than a month away." ”
Fainting to death, this is half a month or a month away at every turn, and it is too time-consuming to expand, right?
Zhao Hao thought for a moment and simply asked: "I want to annex a relatively large tribe first, and expand our strength as much as possible to the extent that we can compete with the Wanhu Hou Tumeng in the western wing of the Xue Manbu, is there such a tribe near us?" ”
This one!
When Cang Wu heard this, he couldn't help but ponder.
Thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "Don't say it, there is really one near such a tribe!" ”
