"Are you really ready?"

"That's right, my lord, I am willing to join the Kugit Khanate, I will serve the country wholeheartedly, do my best, and die for ......"

"Very well, from now on, you will be under the protection of the king, and your words and deeds will represent the Kugit Khanate......" Ashogan finished reading the oath as written. This ceremony is very simple, just a few words on the wine table, but it has extremely high execution, which means that Yi Ye's behavior will be greatly restricted in the future, and it is not so easy to go abroad.

"I still have to say sorry again for what happened a few days ago, my subordinates were too reckless......"

"It's not a big deal, the main thing is that the two unknown assassins need to be investigated." Yi Ye didn't want to get hurt in vain.

"I'll do my best."

"Well, if there's nothing to do, I'll go first." Yi Ye touched his buttocks, still in sharp pain.

The two touched a cup, and Yi Ye turned to leave.

According to Count Azogan Count, the three big men went to the so-called inspection process, the purpose was not to test their strength, and they wanted to be unarmed against the three men - this was obviously impossible. It's just a bad taste to see how long this defenseless weak chicken can last.

Yi Ye only found out later that the heads who joined the earl, without exception, each of them gave a big gift to build a good relationship.

The so-called inspection process, I'm afraid it's just a casual remark, and I'm afraid that only Yi Ye has this process. If it weren't for this sudden assassin who injured Yi Ye, Ah Sugan would not have talked to this hairy boy who didn't understand the rules, let alone let him join his nationality. It's just that after all, this kind of thing happened on the territory of him, a respected earl, and he had to have an explanation, even if it was just a process.

Although the process was a bit bumpy, Yi Ye finally joined the Kugit Khanate and achieved his first step.

In general, the winter in Calradia is shorter, in January, that is, now, the snow will melt very quickly, and spring will soon come, according to some scholars, about half a month away, spring will come, and then, war will definitely break out, as has been the case in Calradia for many years. During this period, Yi Ye needed intelligence, a lot of intelligence.

I heard that not long after the banquet in Tulga, many lords returned to their fiefdoms to deal with internal affairs, and at present only four lords are stationed here, namely Saiga Khan, Count Nayanna, Akadanboye, and Dondu Shiboye. The other lords had gone back one after another, and of course, Count Azwagan was about to set off, and the time was the fourth of January.

The Count of Azokan recruited a decent number of men this time, more than 2,000 men, plus his own troops, which numbered about 5,000 men. This return to the city may be to make the final preparations, and after handling the internal affairs, the expedition will begin, although there is no clear news yet, but the city and the troops have already spread all over the city. The current diplomatic relations are relatively peaceful, except for the occasional invasion of the border villages and caravans of Kugit by Vekia, Vikia lost a lot of troops due to its involvement in the war between Swadia and Nord, so in this strong winter, they were not able to launch a major attack, but there was a great improvement in the economy, one is the large amount of honorarium paid by the Kingdom of Swadia, and the other is that a lot of weapons and equipment were caught on the Nord side, as well as Nord prisoners.

Count Azogan was busy rushing back to Azugan Fort, although the castle was in the south of the kingdom, but since Tulka was also located in the south, it was not too far away, even with such a large wave of people, it would take four days at most.

Azuganfort, this is an extremely important and special place, as he administers the only pass in the southern part of the kingdom, and if it is captured, the capital city of Turga will be in trouble, and this is the territory that Salander has coveted for a long time. The place where Kugit and Salander meet is a large mountain range, and the mere climb can cause a lot of physical loss, and it is said that there are all kinds of ferocious birds and beasts in it, so the struggle between the two countries takes place in the forts of Azogon and Gamied, which guard another pass northwest of Saland.

Count Azogan must defend this pass, which is an extremely important task, so it is still undecided whether he will participate in this expedition, in fact, he only wants to secure his castle this time. For him, there is no room for mistakes. But the expedition, this is a very good opportunity, not only to take advantage of this to make a fortune, but also to obtain a new fief, no lord wants to maintain the status quo, every lord is ambitious, otherwise he would not have come this far.

Before leaving, Yi Ye wrote a few letters to his old friends so that they could be contacted. Although Yi Ye's accession to the Kugit Khanate will be restricted in many ways, it is still okay to write a few letters to people in other countries, after all, he is not famous now, and he will not be framed by some villains who are traitors.

Due to the problem of the buttocks, Yi Ye needs to be supported on the horse, and instead of sitting on it, he rides on his stomach, and the marching speed is not fast, which can still be done. But it was a little embarrassing, and the leader of several hundred people actually rode horses in this way. is very similar to herself who escaped after the war, which reminds Yi Ye of Desaivi again, and she is the only one whose whereabouts are unknown.

Although the surrounding area is still white, you can clearly feel that the snow is getting smaller and is slowly melting. The whole team is triangular, the tip of the front is the earl's team, the newly recruited troops form two wings in the back, not that the count is a good man, but most of the troops are horses, at the beginning of the battle, the troops on both wings must all rush forward, surround the enemy, and the remaining small infantry will form a large block in front of the earl. This was the count's strategy, and all branch commanders had long been informed.

In the northern part of the mountain range, this manor of Yi Ye is well hidden, and the number has been kept at about a hundred, and it has also been aided by the lord of Fort Radogir, Muleza, who finally became the lord of Fort Ruud because of Yi Ye, and is now thriving. Yi Ye's old captain, Cabrisi, also patrols the perimeter of the village to protect against threats from the sea. The three cans have also developed well due to the return of Fort Elbuk and the help of Yi Ye, and I heard that he has started to practice martial arts recently, of course, this is what he said in the letter. The people Yi Ye knew would write to them basically every once in a while, and most of them would reply. Except for a few, such as Radfa Hornmen, Yi Ye has sent several letters in a row, but has still not received any valuable news.

Manid's caravan went to various parts of Kugit to do business after the Tulga and Iye rounds, not only to develop more contacts and information, but also to lay a solid foundation for troop spending. Yi Ye's current income is about 300 dinars per week at the dyeing factory and about 200 dinars per week at the stone mine, Manid's words are not very stable, but on average 500 dinars per week is no problem, and the Fatis family said that most of the wages under Fatis will be borne by Fatis, which relieves Yi Ye of a lot of burden.

"Sir, I'm afraid this trip will not be good." Such a voice sounded in Yi Ye's ears.

Yi Ye turned his head to look, and Fatis leaned over gently.

"Any questions?" Yi Ye replied.

"I heard that the Sultanate of Salander has been planning for a long time, against this Azugang Castle."

"I know, so what's the problem?"

"Compared to you, you have heard the news of the expedition of the kingdom, and I think that the Sultanate of Salander is stuck in time to attack this castle, and we will have no reinforcements by then."

"I'm here, stooping down to do things under others, just to show myself, how can I do it without fighting a good fight? Mr. Fatis, now is the time to prove our strength. ”

"Let's hope it doesn't get any worse." Fatis prayed in hand.

"You know, we may be facing a large enemy force......"

"Wrap it up on me." Yi Ye smiled confidently. It's been a long time since Fatis has seen a smile like this.

Turga

Saiga Khan was still thinking about it, and he was considering whether this move was the right one. The first problem is the contradiction between the expedition and the defense of Azugan Castle, Saiga is very eager to go on an expedition, so he deliberately released the news of the expedition of the Kugit Khanate, so that Salander thinks that the kingdom is empty, and it will be very easy for them to attack the long-coveted Azugan, but for the enemy, the credibility of the news that can be obtained so easily will not be high, in fact, Salander will definitely not attack like this, if this is a conspiracy, the Serbian army will come to a counter-encirclement, this will outweigh the loss. Saiga's idea was to achieve his goal by hiding from the sky and the sea, and at the same time making Salander dare not attack easily. However, this is only theoretical, and in practice it requires a lot of intelligence, spies, and places to create false images. Therefore, Sega's message to the various lords was, "When the spring flowers bloom, we will surely raise the prestige of our country." ”

This cleverly released the news of the expedition without telling the specific time. It's a game of two kings, and a game of two nations.

The strength of a country should be considered from many aspects, the cohesion of the kingdom, diplomatic relations, the contradictory relationship between various vassals, etc., rather than simply having more and stronger soldiers will win, in the battle of Weishui, the Eastern Jin Dynasty only defeated more than 800,000 former Qin troops with 80,000 troops, which is one of the countless classic cases. And Saiga's weakness has undoubtedly been exposed at this time, and it only takes a little effort to find out about a sensitive issue involving politics in Tulga - Saiga's position is controlled and he is about to step down.

It stands to reason that no one will dare to release this kind of news, let alone sell it as intelligence, and the only possibility is that Saiga is indeed very difficult now, so difficult that he can't control his subordinates.
