Chapter 105: Emergency Meeting
Tang Xiaobai sat on the high platform, and the soldiers sat under the stage, still those people, still unchanged, the only difference was that there was one more dragoon general. His eyes scanned, and he had already noticed the difference between these soldiers, and each of them had a faint momentum. In other words, they have also completely changed in this update.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there will be relics unearthed in Central China in the near future, involving the city construction order, I don't know what you think." Tang Xiaobai said that the theme of this meeting was to think about the ruins.
"As far as I know, the ruins will be unearthed in three months." Tang Xiaobai added.
The soldiers didn't feel strange, as if they were used to such a setting.
"I think I want to fight." The first to speak was Xun Yu, who was wearing a scribe's robe at this time and standing in the center of the hall. Then he added: "If there is chaos today, there will be a battle in a short time, and if you don't move forward, you will definitely die by the enemy's sword." If you want to stand in the world, you must have strong strength, and strong strength must be strived for. ”
Tang Xiaobai nodded and said, "This is reasonable, then according to Xun Yu's military master's opinion, how should we fight?" ”
Xun Yu took two steps forward, his white clothes fluttering, quite the posture of a literati, he said: "Look at them and mussels fighting, we fishermen benefit." ”
Tang Xiaobai's eyes lit up and said, "How do you understand this?" ”
Xun Yu walked forward again, came to the sand table, and pointed to a place: "This direction is the place where the ruins of Central China were unearthed, and our White Sugar Town is not far away, but it is not close." And the lord looks at this area. ”
Tang Xiaobai looked at Xun Yu's hand, he pointed to the district north of Baitang Town, and said: "This place is close to the ruins, and we will definitely participate in the battle for the ruins at that time, and there is also a ...... here."
Xun Yu pointed to a few more places, all of which were in eight different directions around the ruins, and said, "Let's not talk about anything else, the forces in these eight places will inevitably fight for each other." And these eight places just block the forces behind them, lord, what do you say if you are the force behind these eight forces? ”
"Before the ruins are unearthed, first occupy the forces in front and replace them, and then cultivate and recuperate, and wait and see what happens." Tang Xiaobai didn't think about it, and blurted out.
In fact, he had already thought of this just now, these eight directions blocked all the forces behind, just like a traffic jam, the front has not left, how can the back go to the front? Then herein lies the big problem. It is bound to be that within three months, there will be a great war that is extremely overwhelming and affects hundreds of forces. And the Three Towns of White Sugar, Wei Shu and Wu are all in the corner of the map, and no one will go to great lengths to occupy the power of the Three Towns of White Sugar.
They will only attack the forces closest to the ruins and replace them.
"However, if they boldly attack the forces in the front, and the forces in the rear take the opportunity to attack, will they not become fish again? So, will they attack the forces ahead? Tang Xiaobai asked, this is like a domino, the one behind pushes the one in front to fall. As long as it's not the starting domino, there's a risk of being pushed.
Xun Yu smiled and said: "Lord, think about it, if a village can have the opportunity to get the city building order and can build a magnificent city in an instant, then who cares about a ruined village?" ”
"Yes, that makes sense." Tang Xiaobai nodded.
Then he said: "But now that the three towns of Wushu and Wei have been established at the beginning of their reign, there are still a lot of wastes to be rebuilt, and the troops are still insufficient, how can I compete with them, even if I really do the last yellow bird, how many soldiers and horses can I call?" ”
Sure enough, when it came to this question, Xun Yu's brows furrowed, obviously he also understood the current embarrassment of the three towns of White Sugar. At this time, Xu Shu came out and said: "Lord, at present, there are three hundred homeless people in the three towns of Baitang every day, of which about one hundred are young and strong people who can enlist in the army, if this is the case, after March, we will increase the number of soldiers by 9,000." ”
Tang Xiaobai nodded, and then shook his head, he knew better than anyone the current population growth of the three towns of Baitang, especially with the expansion, it could accommodate more people, but the increase rate of three hundred per day was still too slow.
"Let's not talk about the number of 9,000 soldiers, but just one point can prove that it can't be done. If we can have 9,000 soldiers participating today and tomorrow, then it will definitely be an elite team after three months, but these 9,000 soldiers are an increase of 100 per day, which means that the training time of the new soldiers in the camp is getting less and less, so that in the end, even the soldiers who have not been trained will enter the battle line together. This...... Overwhelmed. Tang Xiaobai said.
It's like an equation that 100 soldiers who join today can get a full 90 days of training, but tomorrow they will only join for 89 days, and the day after tomorrow will only join for 88 days...... And so on, in the end, there may be a hundred soldiers who do not even have a day of training, and this kind of soldier goes to the battlefield, which is a dead end.
"The ministries report on the strength we have."
Guo Jia stepped forward, and after giving a salute, he said: "500 cavalry and 1,000 riflemen of the Xuanbing Army; 300 archers and 2500 archers in the Shenyu battalion; Tiger Guard Battalion 1500 swordsmen; 2000 white blades of the Red Flame Army, 1000 archers; Dragon Shadow Army 70; The Nishang Army has just been established and is not included in the statistics; The evil army has just been established and is not included in the statistics; The Dragon Teng Army has just been established and is not included in the statistics. ”
Hearing Guo Jia's words, Tang Xiaobai gasped, the losses in that war were really too great. His brows furrowed, and he said: "The ruins are in Central China, it is a plain, the Red Flame Army focuses on water warfare training, so naturally it cannot be mobilized, and there are still a few forces in the north of Wuzhen, they don't dare to act rashly now, if we come out, they will have a chance, you must know that Wuzhen is the easiest place to defend and difficult to attack, and you must not lose it." ”
"In this way, in addition to the 3,000 Red Flame Army, the other departments still have nearly 6,000 troops. And Shu requires at least 4,000 troops to have a certain ability to resist the enemy, although Wei Zhen is within the protection range of the other two towns, but the Northeast Plain needs at least 1,000 troops to defend, so that we can bring out less than 1,000 troops? Even after three months, there will only be 2,000 soldiers who can be used, which is difficult. ”
The three military advisors looked at each other, and what the lord said was reasonable, in the face of such an earth-shattering treasure as the founding order, two thousand troops wanted to take it? It's hard, it's really hard. But what if the Three Towns come out of the nest and are attacked by other enemies?
"We just analyzed that other forces are mixed in the dire situation, but why not our three towns of white sugar? It's really difficult to give up, to be unwilling, to be powerless to strive for! Tang Xiaobai felt powerless, and his heart was more than enough but his strength was insufficient.
For a while, the entire hall fell silent, no one spoke, Xun Yu also shook his head and returned to his seat, his idea just now was right, not wrong at all. Sandpiper and clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, this is the only chance for the three towns of Baitang to get the city construction order, but Tang Xiaobai said this, and he thought about it carefully, the more he thought about it, the more cold his heart became, this was a big gamble with no chance of winning.
So, if you don't have a chance of winning, isn't it really a gift?
Tang Xiaobai shook his head helplessly, thinking that he had captured a village with 25 soldiers, but now he had 2,000 troops in his hands, but he found that he could not be the enemy.
"Guys, there's really no solution?" Tang Xiaobai said.
It happened that Cai Wenji came out of the next room to help Tang Xiaobai add tea, and seemed to hear a few words, and asked inadvertently: "Lord, are you worried about the troops?" ”
"Huh?" Tang Xiaobai was slightly stunned when he heard Cai Wenji's title, because for several days in a row, Cai Wenji had always called him the town chief, why did he change his name today?
He took a closer look and always felt that Cai Wenji was different from the previous days. Although the appearance is still the same, she always feels like she has changed to a different person, especially those eyes, which were originally as deep and bright as the stars, but now they are watery eyes, revealing the little girl's hopeful vision of life?
"Wen Ji has changed a lot in the past two days." Tang Xiaobai asked tentatively.
Cai Wenji smiled slightly and said, "Lord, Wenji has always been like this, and it hasn't changed." ”
Tang Xiaobai touched his nose, maybe it was his own illusion, he always felt like a different person, and he always felt that Cai Wenji didn't have the charm of the previous days. If a few days ago she looked like a noble princess, now she is like a lovely little girl next door.
"My lord, when I just came in, I heard that you and your military advisors said that we don't have enough troops?" After Cai Wenji finished filling the tea, she did not leave, but stood beside Tang Xiaobai.
Tang Xiaobai sighed faintly and said, "Yes, the number of displaced people is increasing slowly, and the troops can't keep up, so I'm very distressed, so I'm here to help me press my head." ”
Cai Wenji walked behind Tang Xiaobai, pressed her hand gently, and then said, "Lord, are you comfortable?" ”
"Yes, it's comfortable."
Cai Wenji smiled happily, and then said: "Lord, if you are worried about the problem of insufficient troops, Wenji has something here, maybe it can help you." ”
"Oh, is that true?"
Tang Xiaobai suddenly came to his senses, and even the soldiers who sat down suddenly looked at Cai Wenji. This time, it made Cai Wenji a little embarrassed.
"This is the lord, in the past two days of your absence, I inadvertently helped an old man, and then he gave me this."
Cai Wenji took out a small sign, wooden, with a pattern of abundant grains carved on it, and a pattern that seemed to be surging in the streets and alleys. And on the back of this sign, there are three big characters written - Recruitment Order!
Tang Xiaobai took the recruitment order, was ecstatic, and hurriedly held Cai Wenji's hand and said, "Wenji! You've done a great job! ”
Recruitment Order: Attract 6,000 displaced people to gather within three days, and increase the arrival speed of displaced people by 300% for 7 days.
