The bull finally adjusted his breath evenly, and couldn't wait to continue:

"There are not many vassals under my hands, only fifteen, I have found a master for all the land that can be sealed, and I have to take care of government affairs by myself when I can save it, and I am annoyed to death."

"Fifteen knights and squires, one hundred and fifty good men who can fight, all with big shoulders and round waists, with axes, cut off the heads of the infidels than they cut off the guadus." After saying that, he also made a demonstrative slash at Kohlerbi, proud that his number of fighters overtook him.

I was amused by his funny appearance, and while rubbing my stomach that hurt with laughter, I walked back to the table, and said with a smile: "It's not to go to the tug-of-war competition, what are so many people called to do, since they are all great guys, how good it is to stay at home and dig the canal, don't you know that Leonardo is now scratching his ears and cheeks for the cost of hiring labor, and if there is good labor that doesn't need money, he must be red with excitement, maybe he will be in a good mood to send you some clerks around him, those guys are absolutely dedicated, I work harder than you fight, and I inherit the fine traditions of the old guys. ”

Kohler and the bull turned their heads and looked at each other, not understanding what bad water their Duke was holding in their hearts, fighting and employing people is the consensus of everyone in this era, but it is also worry-free to fight with the Duke, and they can always achieve unexpected victories in times of evil.

It's like a gambler, obviously a night of special luck, lost only a pair of underwear, trembling and pressing, suddenly the Jedi reversed the bottom and rebounded, killing other winners in minutes, not only redeemed their original belongings, but also made a lot of money by the way, counting the money to hand cramps, fate is so wonderful!

"And what do you think we should do?"

Or Kohler's brain turned quickly, glaring at me and asking me, as long as the adults have orders to do it, why bother to think in vain, because with their intelligence, all the brain cells are burned to death and can't keep up with my train of thought, not to mention those wild ideas, even in the face of a large number of enemies who are obviously victorious, they are not afraid at all, but sigh for the tragic fate of the other party, in the words of the bull: "Adults are like elves in the jungle who love to joke with travelers, I stole all the luggage in front of you, and before I could curse the donkey, it was gone! ”

"It's very simple, pick some elites who can run and jump with good endurance, the number of people is not large, Kohler out of fifty, bulls out of seventy, and the rest are all sent to Leonardo to dig canals, not only to exercise, not to waste training, but also to save some funds for the whole project, as for those knights, it is not easy to use them once, and it also saves them from wasting food at home, it's time to fulfill the obligations of vassals, take them all! It is just used to prop up the façade on the battlefield and scare the enemy. ”

I put my arms together, rubbed my chin and said, "Didn't Kohler say that the archers he trained are as familiar as following his own door when he goes out of the forest, then this time I will write an article in the forest and let them see what special operations are." ”

"According to the information provided by Leonardo, almost all the cavalry of the Poles were conscripted, and they followed Grand Duke Mieszko to Bohemia, including the noble knights and the Hussar light cavalry who fought against the barbarians who believed in pagan gods on the eastern border all the year round, and the main ones who remained in the homeland were some aristocratic armed forces, and their combat effectiveness was second-rate, and the only thing to worry about was the Slavic tribes living on the Elbe River, this group of barbarians was almost all soldiers, and even women and children fought more violently, The whole tribe is a large military camp that is constantly updating itself. ”

"Now they are burning and looting in the Laushitz border area, and the dispersal is too wide, we can't meet it, and if Nijmegen's troops are hard, it is equivalent to digging a pit and jumping in, just like a lion falling into a snake's den, no matter how powerful he is, he can't use his fists and feet, and in the end he will fall into a sea of people and abandon his martial arts."

Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered my gaffe, and mentioned Leonardo's intelligence organization in front of Kohler, the two of them each have a set of intelligence networks, and they are not less secretly competing, but Leonardo has always had the upper hand with a solid foundation, strong financial resources and many connections, and Kohler's little bird can only get some irrelevant and outdated information, which makes him often embarrassed.

But Kohler didn't seem to have any expression on his face, he and the bull listened carefully to what I said, but the two of them had different reactions, the bull sat there stunned, probably still thinking about the meaning of the first few nouns, scratching his head from time to time and muttering, if he didn't quickly find a new topic to drag him out, he would hold back in that dead heart pondering for a day, Kohler squinted his eyes and rubbed his chin like me, he had just begun to grow a beard, and the length of his fingers would be buried.

"You mean that we will not go to Bohemia to confront the Poles, but will take advantage of their outpouring of the Yellow Dragons and go to their lair."

After receiving my affirmative glances, Kohler continued: "But our country has a limited number of troops, and if we force our way through the Elbe, we will encounter Slavic tribes instigated by the Poles to cross the border, as your Excellency said...... Stealing chickens doesn't make you lose rice, right? ”

"That's it."

I nodded, Kohler did have room for further improvement, after so much time with me, his speech and actions gradually became smoother, coupled with his original meticulous personality, he thought more comprehensively and thoughtfully, and was often able to make some eye-catching additions outside of my plans.

And the bull with a similar starting point is definitely a piece of wood in this regard, or a rotten wood that cannot be carved, his temper is originally irritable, and he has no patience for these things that he looks like his mother-in-law, and his fighting style is also to pick up the axe and bow his head for a while to chop and kill, like the black whirlwind Li Kui in the Extreme Water Margin, the mold of a professional thug, the grade is not very high, and the value is in the loyalty, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front, the order is to take the lead with his arms.

As soon as he heard that there was no hard fight to fight, the bull pursed his lips and whispered to himself: "The master is not at home, and he pounces on him and only bites the hound, which is too boring." ”

"You're not right, we're not going to find a soft persimmon to pinch, grab some property and the slaves will run back, it's to attack the enemy's place and save it, mobilize the enemy's main force back, and find an opportunity to destroy them in the movement war, this is called Wei Wei to save Zhao, forget it, it's too long to tell the story, you don't understand the explanation, in short, this can not only reduce the pressure on His Majesty's side, solve the crisis in Bohemia, but also have the opportunity to clean up the Poles, let them remember the lesson, and dare not peep into the territory of the empire in the future. Rest assured, there will definitely be a tough battle you want, how can you do it if you don't take the lead when the bull comes! I stared with interest at the improvised map on the table, explaining my battle plan to my two henchmen.

"Come on, don't worry, my lord, I promise that the Poles will see Nijmegen again, and they won't even dare to kneel down and beg for mercy!" The bull confidently patted his chest and packed the ticket.

The man standing in the center of the hall, from the moment he entered the room, he kept his head down, and his eyes were very dark, and he couldn't hide the scorching light, and his eyes swept from the golden candlestick on the table, all the way to the thick nylon curtain hanging in the window, the scorching flame was like a flame that could not be hidden, greedily devouring everything that came into view, burning, and finally turning into ashes.

I sat in my place, while pretending to be casual biting the dead skin on my lip, staring intently at the person in front of me, if it is put in Hollywood now, whether it is his sloppy outfit, or the unruly temperament in his bones, he can directly play Captain Jack in "Pirates of the Caribbean" without an audition, compared to himJohnny Depp has to bow down and be laid off, because the person in front of him is a living pirate, The gangsterism carved into life can't be compensated for by no amount of superb acting skills!

In this combat operation, I need a force that can provide strong mobility, and is familiar with the situation of the rivers in Poland, and quickly transport the Nijmegen army to the designated assembly position, unfortunately there are no such people in Nijmegen, we do not even have a large-scale fleet, the Nijmegen Chamber of Commerce carries goods for export through other countries, and the large and small ships that are in the port are not even a sail, once outsiders are involved, this is the trouble of mutual communication and coordination and distribution of spoils, It's unimaginable, and the secrecy of the operation requires that other unrelated personnel join it.

As a veteran of many years, Leonardo, after a moment of silence, quickly offered me several options, and after a long and nerve-wracking consideration, I chose the last option, and Leonardo's least optimistic suggestion, in his words:

"It's like you told the man who drank poison to quench his thirst, I don't know what terrible consequences it would cause, after all, the other party is a pirate, and morality and credibility are worthless to them."

So this tattered man, covered in the smell of the sea, appeared in front of me, his name may not have been heard by most nobles or too lazy to remember, how can the adults who are busy fighting with their neighbors have the leisure to pay attention to a pariah who can't even tell his own parents, but every old boat gang who runs the trade will definitely wake up in their dreams by this name!

Swordfish-Ebry, an ace pirate who has been crisscrossing the North Sea for more than ten years, has two Viking longships of his own, full of outlaws who are accustomed to licking blood from the stormy seas, and has brought death and terror to all countries on both sides of the North Sea again and again, even the Danish leader across the Kattegat Strait has great respect for him, almost every noble territory or free farm near the sea has been visited by him, and the nightmare left behind is deeply rooted in the minds of the victims for a long time, they are in awe of the swordfish, Even more than the fear of an all-knowing and all-powerful God.
