Chapter 561: Selfishness

"General Zhou, how can you go back on your word?"

At this time, hearing Zhou Yue's latest order, Han Hao, who was tied to a stretcher and drenched in blood, couldn't help but ask angrily(Starter)

"Ahem, Brother Han Long, you can't talk nonsense, how can I be regarded as a backsliding?" Zhou Yue looked distressed.

"You—didn't you say that you would hold on to this place, and support each other in the horns of Broken Leaf City? Why did you have to set up camp in less than a few moments after the establishment of the village in this place? The military order is repeated, it's just child's play! Han Long glared at him and said angrily, thanks to his serious injuries at the moment, he didn't have much strength, otherwise, it was estimated that he would have to pull Zhou Yue's neck and question him at this time.

"No, no, Brother Han Long, you still lack experience, soldier, treacherous, how can you follow the rules and don't know how to be flexible? Now that the enemy's strength is too strong, with our 6,000 troops, we can't keep the opponent's 300 men, and now that they have received the news, it is estimated that it will not be long before more enemy troops will come to attack this place. You don't like that either, do you? Zhou Yue still explained patiently.

"Then enter Broken Leaf City immediately, General Zhou, I'd better do this, this is the order of the Grand Governor!" Han Long's head was obviously not stupid, and he immediately shouted.

"Well, that's reasonable, Brother Han Long, you can rest assured, even if we risk the lives of our battalion of soldiers and horses, we must bring you back to Broken Leaf City alive!"

After Zhou Yue finished speaking very tragically, he turned around and left, but Han Long and the others felt quite awkward when they heard this, but for a while, they couldn't find what was wrong?

Next, Zhou Yue found Claire and asked her to make a little medicine that could make people unconscious, not asking how good the effect was, anyway, it was just to make Han Long and a few people drowsy, and their thinking could not be concentrated.

In the end, Zhou Yue led everyone to go around in the northwest direction, and there was no return to Broken Leaf City at all.

This can be regarded as his selfishness, because in Zhou Yue's opinion, whether he participates in the battle of Broken Leaf City or the battle of Almaty, it is not cost-effective, you know, according to Kleil's intelligence, the black-clothed food army has assembled a full 150,000 army, and his family background is not enough to plug his teeth in the front, in this case, no matter what tricks Ma Chao is playing, he just won't go to the frontal battlefield.

And if you can't betray Ma Chao, you have to gain the prestige of the camp, and in the end, you have to save your strength and not conflict with the black-clothed food army, so the best way is to penetrate into the hinterland of the black-clothed food dynasty and attack their supply line, so that you can not only train troops quickly, but also harvest all kinds of materials, which can be said to be a few in one fell swoop.

Of course, Zhou Yue was also purely taking risks, once the traces of his small army were locked by the black-clothed eater, the consequences would be catastrophic.

Therefore, he was also ruthless this time, not only to bypass Shattered Leaf City far away, but also to go all the way northwest into the desert Gobi area north of Broken Leaf City, although the bypass area would be very large, but it was relatively much safer.

In addition, Zhou Yue also paid great attention to letting Han Hao lead people to clean up the traces in the back, lay down suspicious soldiers, etc., but he estimated that it was not a big problem, because those scout scouts had already figured out their overall strength, so they would not take it to heart at all, and when they left this place, most of them would guess that they had entered Shattered Leaf City.

And even if they chased after them, Zhou Yue was not afraid at all, at most it was a little troublesome.

At this time, during this march, Zhou Yue was also thinking about what was missing in his mind over and over again, which was also a matter of no choice, he asked himself if he couldn't be more intelligent and close to the demon, so he could only rely on the simplest prudence to judge.

At this time, after thinking about it back and forth, and after not finding any obvious loopholes, Zhou Yue began to check the gains and losses of the previous battle.

This time, thirty-two of his veterans died and forty-six of his recruits were killed, and they were basically killed by one person, but the black-clothed food scouts killed were one hundred and sixty-seven, and the experience points they brought were just that, but the benefits in other aspects were really wonderful!

First of all, Zhou Yue's reputation in the Ma Chao camp has increased significantly, and in this battle alone, he has obtained 16,700 reputation points, and if he kills one, he will have 100 reputation points, and it is no wonder that these scouts are so powerful.

And the benefits of this kind of prestige are very obvious, firstly, you can redeem huàn civil official positions, secondly, you can buy standard equipment, and thirdly, it can continue to accumulate, as long as the prestige is high enough, then the influence on some grassroots soldiers and petty officials in Ma Chao's camp will also increase, and even, it will also have some influence on Ma Chao.

Among these three benefits, the first one is what Zhou Yue doesn't need much, because what he needs most now is the official position of a military commander who commands the army, and the military general cannot be exchanged for prestige, and must be granted by Ma Chao himself.

In addition, it is best for civil officials to be served by the kind of thinkers who have been transferred to strategists or military advisors, such as Dong Yang of the mysterious alliance, even if he is a strategist, relying on a large amount of prestige to exchange for an official position with a growth history, and this kind of thing, Zhou Yue is not only not interested, but also absolutely unable to do it.

Therefore, what Zhou Yue can demand is the latter two, among which the exchange for equipment makes him pay special attention, because these prestige can not only be exchanged for soldiers' standard equipment, but also from Ma Chao's main city shops to exchange more and more precious materials and equipment.

As for the last benefit, Zhou Yue also sighed, he didn't expect to be able to rely on the accumulation of prestige points to impress Ma Chao or improve his friendliness or something.

Because Zhou Yue himself once had this kind of prestige system in Panjin Black City, it doesn't necessarily mean that he has to regard the person with the highest reputation as a confidant, because this method is just a proof, so he doesn't think that Ma Chao will look at the person with the highest prestige differently, after all, this is really not a game, although many places are very similar to games.

Previously, Zhou Yue's total reputation in the Ma Chao camp had reached 47,000 points, and now with the 16,700 points obtained at the moment, it is 63,700 points, which is already a very high level, because according to the information prompt, only 50,000 points of prestige are needed to redeem a Huangmen Order or a civil official position in the history of Gong Cao.

And in addition to these two gains of experience points and prestige points, Zhou Yue also harvested 167 dropped treasure chests, yes, that's right, it's all because of the scouts he killed before, all of them are elite-level storage zài, comparable to level 50 bosses.

Not to mention the 5 level 60 captains, which are the other level 50 scouts, their overall attributes are quite powerful, and naturally, their drops must be very rich.

After opening all the treasure chests, Zhou Yue's first harvest was 8,000 gold, and an average of 50 gold fell out of each treasure chest, which undoubtedly filled his shriveled money bag again.

But the surprise is still to come, the equipment dropped by these elite scouts is actually all standard equipment, that is, the standard equipment of the black-clothed food army, all of which are of golden quality, if you take it to the blacksmith shop to modify it, Zhou Yue's soldiers can also be equipped, of course, you must reach level 50 to do it.
