Chapter 720: Wang Lang Visits
As the boss of the force, personal strength is of course very important but by no means the most important, if you can't recruit and reuse all kinds of talents, even if it is very fast for a while, it will eventually fall, so Xiao Di attaches great importance to talents in all aspects, and gives them enough trust and respect, so Xiao Di can firmly gather Nadal, Gru, Henry, Liya, Xiao Bing, etc. are extremely excellent in their respective fields, and now Lowry is no exception. E.
Xiao Di has always been unconcerned about money, and this thing can only reflect their value when it is spent, so Xiao Di is never stingy with his subordinates, and he also attaches great importance to the other party's ideals and pursuits, and tries to make the two sides highly consistent in this regard, so the relationship between Nadal and others and him is even more stable, and it has far exceeded the level of money and power, and others can't dig up this corner even if they dig through the shovel.
Time flies, a month has passed in a blink of an eye, at this time Gru Henry's team has surrounded the half-orc coalition army, because their supply lines have been completely cut off, all the strongholds can not communicate with each other at all, they have already started to eat tree bark, but the bark cannot be supplied indefinitely, after all, there are not so many trees, so they look at each other and their eyes are glowing green...
In the end, Henry was very unscrupulous and let his soldiers prepare various barbecue barrels of ale, and deliberately feasted in front of the other party, the fragrance accompanied by the chewing appearance of the Shura Gang soldiers was equivalent to the multi-dimensional impact of taste and vision plus psychology, those half-orcs and black dwarf coalition could not stand it anymore, and after the desperate attack was repelled by Gru with a hard crossbow team, they finally began to give up for 6 consecutive years.
Especially the black dwarves, they are almost obsessed with ale, and it doesn't matter if they are hungry for a few meals, but it is worse than killing them for a day, not to mention that they haven't drunk it for many days.
As soon as the black dwarves admit defeat, the remaining orcs will be alone, although many diehards are still resisting, but the two armies have opened a huge gap in terms of morale, situation and strength, and victory is only a matter of time.
And Xiao Bing's small team's record is also very good, at the beginning, Fa Xuelian and they were still a little unfamiliar with this kind of small-scale battle - generally the small forces that have survived so far have two brushes, some are familiar with the terrain, some are ruthless, and some are masters, so they also suffered some small losses, and in the end, they all relied on Xiao Bing's absolute strength to suppress and pass.
But the cooperation of several of them in the back is becoming more and more proficient, and they are becoming more and more handy in combat, especially after the three of them are upgraded to the sixth order, the battle is extremely easy, and the cooperation of their warriors, thieves, and mages is becoming more and more tacit, and Xiao Bing basically doesn't need to take action in person.
Just when several lines were going well, the Shura Gang welcomed another unexpected visitor - a colonel from the government army headquarters, who called himself Wang Lang.
Wang Lang is already over a hundred years old, which can be regarded as an elder even among the silver warriors who evaluate their lifespan close to one hundred and five, generally speaking, it is already difficult for a martial artist to advance after this age, just relying on the profound true yuan and rich experience to fight, and often willing to take on some mundane affairs or pursue some wealth, while those young silver warriors are more in pursuit of breakthroughs in martial arts.
This Wang Lang is no exception, more than 20 years ago, after he felt that no matter how hard he worked in his cultivation skills, he simply gave up martial arts and devoted himself to the affairs of the government army.
Over the years, he has also established some meritorious achievements in the government army, coupled with his age and resume, even many generals will politely call him 'Wang Lao', which makes him very complacent, and has always called himself the first person under the general.
Nearly 100 years of government military career has made Wang Lang obsessed with the military discipline and order of the military department, and what he hates most in his life is people who do not abide by the rules of the military department, especially those young officers who have no respect for a little talent, and they are a thorn in his eye.
So this time, after Hart and Fox were forced to withdraw from the army and signed a treaty with Xiao Di not to attack Chiji Mountain within one year, those who knew the inside story felt that this matter was done by Yoda and General Shen, so except for the people on their side, they did not express their opinion on this, only Wang Lang was furious, and kept scolding Xiao Di for not knowing up and down, having no rules, and volunteered to go to the Shura Gang to reprimand Xiao Di in person, and asked him to come to the government army headquarters to take the blame.
General Yoda was naturally unable to ask for this request, and he immediately sent countless beautiful words such as 'old man is strong' and 'model of military integrity', which coaxed Wang Lang to smile, and saw Wang Lang off with great fanfare, and also hinted that Wang Lang said that once he succeeded, he would definitely recommend him to be promoted to the position of honorary brigadier general.
Standing in front of the window of the high top floor, watching Wang Lang and his party gradually move away, the enthusiastic smile on General Yoda's face before was long gone, replaced by a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "What a stupid old guy, I really thought that Xiao Di would listen to his pedantic tirades like the rubbish he had seen before, I don't know if Xiao Di would kill him in a fit of anger, then it would be even more interesting, hehe, what do you think, Ah Shen?"
General Shen next to him still had the same expressionless poker face, and he said coldly: "Yoda, this time the problem was all made up by you, it was you who said that Xiao Di would definitely not come back this time before I supported your action, but now Xiao Di is not only back, but also stepped into the ranks of eighth-order martial artists, what do you say?"
Yoda smiled: "Ah Shen, don't keep a straight face, the matter has already happened, and there is no point in investigating who is right and who is wrong, now our top priority is to quickly find a way to completely get rid of Xiao Di and the so-called small organization of the Shura Gang behind him." ”
After General Shen was silent for a while, he seemed to acquiesce to Yoda's words: "Okay, our cooperation can only continue at this point, but the ugly words are ahead, I will determine the number of lieutenant generals in the military department this time, and you must help me suppress Ah Li and Xiu Wu at that time, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind." ”
General Yoda hurriedly said: "Ah Shen, don't worry, you are the most suitable candidate for lieutenant general, I have always thought so, as long as the two of us join forces Ah Li and Xiuwu are definitely not opponents, hehehe." ”
Seeing Yoda patting his chest and promising to come down, General Shen's face looked a little better: "Yoda, since you know that Wang Lang is useless, then why do you still send him over, Hart and Fox Their gray return has made us laughing stock, don't you think we have lost enough face?"
Yoda sneered: "Ah Shen, you are still too kind, it is precisely because of Hart Fuks that they have lost face, so we need someone to come out to attract attention for us, Wang Lang's piece of wood is the most suitable person, and there will be three major benefits for him to pass this time."
First, it can divert everyone's attention from Hartfox's defeat; second, it can buy us time so that we can plan our next move; third, it would be better if Xiao Di killed this old guy in a fit of rage, and then the public opinion of the entire military department would be on our side, and our crusade against Xiao Di would be even more justified.
No matter how Xiao Di says, he is just a hairy boy, even if he is eighth-order, let alone him, even if one of the eight wealthy families dares to stand opposite our government army, it will only be a dead end, I am afraid that he will be soft when the time comes, then Xiuwu will definitely protect him, and if we want to do it, we will have to have more scruples. ”
General Shen shook his head and said: "Yoda, when it comes to playing conspiracy, I am really far worse than you, such an unfavorable situation was easily resolved by you and you used your strength to fight, the reputation of the first wise general of the military department is really true, if one day I Shen becomes the general of the military department, I will definitely let you be the general staff." ”
Yoda immediately took advantage of the situation and said: "Then I will thank you in advance, I hope that Lord Shen will have prosperous official fortunes and master the entire military department as soon as possible, hahaha." ”
At this time, Wang Lang didn't know that General Yoda had long thought that he would fail, and even the follow-up measures had been thought of, he was just an abandoned chess piece, he still proudly led the team straight to Chiji Mountain, because the government army had announced the contract with Xiao Di before, so in order to avoid suspicion Wang Lang's team of men and horses could only be compressed to a small team, and they did not carry any heavy weapons and equipment, which inevitably made Wang Lang feel that there was a fly in the ointment, and he could not let him shake his majesty.
In fact, General Yoda wished that his team would be weaker, so that in case of a conflict with Xiao Di, he would have no power to resist at all, and it would be better for the whole army to be wiped out, so that it would be more convenient for him to incite the public opinion of the government army.
According to the map left by Hart, Wang Lang usually came all the way to the headquarters of the Shura Gang - after all, the two sides have now signed an armistice treaty, so the soldiers of the various Shura Gang on the way saw him strangely but did not move, and after coming to the gate, Wang Lang sent an adjutant to shout:
"The people of the Shura Gang are listening, hurry up and inform your gang leader, Lieutenant Colonel Xiao Di, that Colonel Wang Lang of the government army is coming to inspect, and ask him to hurry up to meet him, and there must be no mistake, otherwise he will be dealt with according to military law. ”
ps: Does anyone know which one Wang Lang is? A little reminder, Three Kingdoms, Three Kingdoms, hehe
