Chapter 279: Gains and Losses
The city system scanned the more than 40 people present: "Passed the second-level security certification." [Full text reading]"
Yang Hu was speechless, have you upgraded the system, or upgraded the security measures
Yang Hu shook his head, took two steps forward, sat down lazily on the edge of the general platform, and said to Su Ziyu: "You see how I am falling."
"Very strong city. Su Ziyu said it very pertinently, and he frowned: "But the conditions you proposed"
Yang Hu showed a hint of triumph: "The barbarian people have moved to Lincheng and established the first area where a large number of people gathered, which is in the open space around Lincheng. Lincheng will become our largest food producer. ”
"And the barbarians, except for some people who stayed behind to plant in the fields, hoarded the main forces of the two legions of Tiger Ben and Pink. I have less than 4,000 troops under my command. ”
"There will be many such cities. ”
Yang Hu waved his hand violently: "Two cities away, there is a heavy fortress, I want to make sure that everything in the territory is under control." ”
"The big guy does the math for me. Each fortress has 4,000 soldiers to protect the safety of the two cities, and even if I take over the strength of your city, I have less than 60,000 troops under my command, and you tell me how far I can stretch away."
Su Ziyu frowned: "Fifteen." But why put a heavy fortress and 4,000 soldiers to guard the two cities from the two cities, so many troops are wasted. ”
Yang Hu shook his head: "The general population of the Bronze City does not exceed 10,000 people, and all the income of the city is added together, excluding the expenses, the number of professional soldiers that can be raised will not exceed 1,000." ”
"To put it simply, the ratio of the people to the strength of the army, one hundred to one, one out of a hundred people. Most of the cities only hastily rallied from the people to resist when they were attacked by others. But what's the use of that"
Yang Hu smiled at everyone in the audience, and smiled a little hideously: "A city with a population of tens of thousands, there are only a thousand soldiers, if the bronze city is like this, my troops can sweep down dozens or hundreds of such bronze cities at will." ”
Su Ziyu was silent, indeed, most of the bronze cities were powerless to resist in the face of fierce soldiers like Lincheng.
Unless there is a bigger family behind them.
He glanced at the city lord beside him, and he couldn't make up his mind.
But Yang Hu hasn't gotten to the point yet.
Yang Hu nodded at Su Ziyu and the others: "Our total population now will be close to 800,000. In addition to the existing soldiers, these 800,000 adult men and women will be selected 200,000 and expanded into two legions, bringing the total strength to 200,000. ”
He looked at Su Ziyu with a shocked look on his face, and his voice softened: "You are right, now our strength can only reach the balance of fifteen cities. But that's not what I wanted. ”
The city lord beside Su Ziyu only now reacted, he had been ignoring the crazy expansion of the population base in Lincheng before.
There was deep thought on everyone's faces.
Considering what Yang Hu said, the hidden meaning behind these words.
Yang Hu nodded heavily at Su Ziyu: "I am very grateful to you for believing in me, bringing me thirty-six cities with fruitful benefits, plus the three cities in my hands, we now have thirty-nine cities, with a population of nearly 800,000. Tell me who will run these cities."
Yang Hu's domineering words were embarrassing.
The implication is that none of his men can manage these cities.
The city lords in the audience were a little annoyed, but they were a little hesitant, to be honest, they really couldn't manage a city with a population of hundreds of thousands.
The most cities in their hands are Su Ziyu, who has their own five cities, but the total number of people does not exceed 50,000, and now he is asked to manage hundreds of thousands of people, Su Ziyu himself feels unreliable.
Looking at the somewhat frustrated faces of the city lords, Yang Hu's face was arrogant: "There are various reasons why you have become the city lord, and you also have that capital. But if you want to follow me, you have to learn new things. to do better"
"The situation in the city, Liu Si has already explained it in general just now, and you also know what it is like for me to be in the city. But there's something you don't know. Didn't I just say that you have a choice. ”
Su Ziyu and the city lord beside him raised their heads, Yang Hu said so much, and finally got to the point of their relationship.
Yang Hu: "With the large number of people settled in, several colleges will be opened in Lincheng. The first is for you city lords to train for the next step, the second is the teaching of children, and the third is the camp training for adult men and women. ”
Yang Hu shook his head at everyone: "I don't want stupid soldiers, I don't want the kind of subordinates who can't even understand my orders." In addition to being brave and fearless, fighting a war also requires a little bit of brains. ”
Looking at the city lord beside Su Ziyu, Yang Hu nodded and said, "Regarding your location, I don't have an accurate location yet, because I don't know you very well yet. However, I believe that after you have learned, you will soon have results. ”
"You will learn new knowledge in the academy that you have never heard of before, and you will not only broaden your mind, but also have some means to manage the city. ”
Yang Hu smiled: "This is also my chance to get to know you." After half a year of study. Those of you who are capable will take up various management positions in Lincheng. ”
"Didn't I say it before, the position of the city lord is really not that important, sometimes if you give up a little bit, you won't be able to see a bigger world. This is your first choice. ”
Yang Hu gently knocked on the platform: "The second choice is what I promised you before, your city belongs to it, and you still manage it yourself." I'll just send a few people to watch, and you can come to me if you have any problems. ”
The second choice that Yang Hu said made several of the city lords excited, after all, no one was willing to give up the power in their hands easily.
But there are also those who continue to meditate.
Yang Hu drew a very large cake for them at the beginning, how to eat this cake and how much they could eat were all things they had to consider.
Now Yang Hu still gives them two choices, one is that the original position remains the same, and they can still get Yang Hu's support, but Yang Hu should still have a lot to say.
How strong is this support, and if the war breaks out, will he be able to send troops?
On the other hand, Yang Hu said, follow him and keep moving forward, and when the city of ten thousand cities comes out, the location will be absolutely different.
From meeting Yang Hu to now, it has been almost more than a month, and Yang Hu, a waste material with the name of a gentleman, has brought them too much surprise and shock.
Now the two opportunities in front of the city lords, no one knows what kind of opportunities and achievements will be brought in the end.
Su Ziyu and several city lords were in a mess in their minds.
The situation in the city and their own choices, all kinds of trade-offs, it is difficult to decide.
In the face of the difficulties of the city lords, Yang Hu's face was unruly, but his voice was so calm that it was chilling: "People are different, and only by performing their own duties can they play the greatest role." Where it is in an inconspicuous position today, tomorrow it will be admired by everyone. You've seen things like this. ”
"I call everyone together to build a city of ten thousand cities, and this joint construction requires everyone's efforts and the decision to move forward. Of course, there is difficulty, and it is even beyond imagination, but then again, this difficulty cannot be passed, how can you be qualified to stand on the top"
"I'll learn from you. Even if I don't become the lord of the city, I will let others mention my name in the future, and I will be in awe. ”
The short city lord in the crowd suddenly stood up
