Section 270 Fierce Secret Battle
As a major war in which more than one million troops are mobilized, it is generally not possible to do without one or two months of adequate preparation. Like Carter's plan to attack Qinglong City this time, three troops were prepared just for the specific deployment, but this was still only 500,000 regular troops, and the rest were all slaves. If you count the time when Feng Gong Xiusi planted the spies, then the preparation time would have been even longer, ten years! And the reason why Poor Dao was able to fight so smoothly this time was due to a combination of many factors, and even luck accounted for a large proportion. If I hadn't seen Von Chongsius's top-secret battle plan, who would have guessed that a high-ranking officer at the level of division commander within us would actually be someone else's spy?
And in this battle, I also mobilized a total of the Blue Dragon Legion's long-standing troops and some temporarily conscripted troops, the total number was only about 300,000, but I wiped out the entire Snake Kiss Legion, and the loss itself was slight, it looked almost like a miracle! Actually, to put it bluntly, it is not surprising that the role of the spy is too great! Not only can he bring himself an easy and huge victory, but once he is used, the result will be devastating. He can also give the same victory to his opponent!
There is no such shortcut to get to this point. Carter is now in the midst of a nationwide general mobilization, and my preliminary estimate is that the number of troops to launch a general offensive will not be less than 1.5 million, and they are all regular troops, not counting slaves used for logistics.
And what about me? What about me? What can really fight head-on with others is the 300,000 green dragon iron horsemen, and I don't worry about the 100,000 people in the blue lightning land. After all, the formation time is short? The combat effectiveness of the 200,000 Wang Family Guards is weaker than that of the Blue Dragon Legion, and it may not even be able to compare with the Blue Lightning Legion! Among them, there are still 100,000 cavalry, 100,000 infantry, and only 10,000 heavy armored cavalry!
My remaining infantry of the Blue Dragon Legion is as high as 700,000. However, only 250,000 of them were from the regular Blue Dragon Legion, and the others were all slaves, and the role of slaves on the battlefield without military training was worse than zero, and almost completely a drag! This is why Carter almost never used slaves to fight in war. Of course, except for Feng Chongxius, who relied on the blood and lives of the slave army to cast a curse, naturally he didn't care about combat effectiveness! And the most tricky thing is that these troops of mine still need to be stationed in the thirteen provinces of the occupied area for a long time, and a maximum of 300,000 people will be sent to participate in the war, which is already the limit!
In this way, the troops I can use are only 900,000. Although it sounds like a lot, it is necessary to defend two or three thousand miles along the Liuhua River. If it weren't for the blockage of the river, Carter's invincible navy would not have been able to enter, and I had an army of 50,000 sailors who could completely control the river, I would not have even had the courage to fight this battle!
The glorious Tiger King Prince Sisil Kunkat was in charge of the marshal with the sword at the beginning of April, and it would take more than a month to gather a million troops at the earliest, and when the time of the march was added, that would mean. The battle between us will not break out until June! But the dark war between us has already begun!
This time, the first move was Poor Dao, and my bold release of Princess Xiangxiang's brothers and sisters really achieved the effect I wanted. After the envoy of the second prince received the news of their safe return from me, he immediately thought of the relationship between the Great Han and the silver fox. In the eyes of those of them who have been engaged in conspiracy all day long, it is absolutely not normal to be able to let the mainland's top beauties back unharmed, after all, we are still hostile? Besides, there is also a young master of the Silver Fox Legion with him! The news that he was known for a long time had spread all over Carter!
So, the envoy of the second prince began to test in words. The people on the prairie are straightforward, but they're not idiots, and they certainly don't go around preaching such things. and he lied to the messengers. What was it that was not deliberately concealed in the eyes of the envoys? Their suspicions suddenly turned into confidence, and they hurriedly ran back overnight to report to the second prince!
The second prince is a straw bale, and he was already dissatisfied with the good things that the old people of the grassland perfunctory him and Xiangxiang, and now he found an excuse, and he was immediately very happy, in his opinion, it may not be realistic to destroy the grassland tribes, but it is feasible to blackmail them with this matter, and it is feasible to get Princess Xiangxiang!
His unreasonable demand, of course, was rejected very decisively. Moreover, at this time, I have created all kinds of gossip about this matter. Ordered people to spread around Carter, what 'Princess Xiangxiang is already the daughter-in-law of the Long family', what' that time was a blind date at all, so I didn't catch them!
The reason why the trouble is so great is also related to the fact that the grassland tribe has not been accepted by Carter's upper-class nobles, and in the eyes of Carter's nobles, the grassland tribes are just a group of barbarians, not much more noble than slaves! Even the second prince fell in love with Princess Xiangxiang, and he just married him to be a concubine. Do you say that the grassland departments of the Silver Fox Legion can agree to let Princess Xiangxiang be so wronged?
Just when the whole country was condemning, Prince Sisil finally intervened, and he was spreading rumors. The so-called rumors stopped at the wise man, and after getting a large amount of real information, the old fox immediately saw the trick of the poor way. So he first stood up to vouch for the Silver Fox Legion, and not only that, but he also expressed his trust in the Silver Fox Legion with practical actions!
He personally went to the headquarters of the Silver Fox Legion on the grassland to offer condolences, and issued a conscription order there, in which he allowed the Silver Fox Legion to recruit unlimited troops, and all the troop supplies were borne by Carter, and first provided a batch of war equipment that could arm 300,000 people! The most touching thing was that he also repaid the arrears of the Silver Fox Legion over the years, totaling as much as three million gold coins! He did these actions. Immediately won the trust of the steppe people again, and the commander of the Silver Fox Legion, Maimaiti, swore excitedly at that time that he would do his best to fight for Carter!
A huge storm that was about to bleed was resolved by him, and not only that. He also took advantage of this opportunity to once again capture the loyalty of the Silver Fox Legion! I'm dizzy! This old fox is too powerful, isn't it? Originally, Poor Dao felt that releasing other people's children was already a big deal, but compared with the Brilliant Tiger King, I still showed a small family spirit!
However, it seems that the poor road is not an easy person to deal with? If I can't make a plan, I will make a living. So at the instigation of the poor spies, Carter's domestic rumors turned into a cry, and the whole country unanimously demanded that the Silver Fox Legion sacrifice Princess Xiangxiang to the second prince as a concubine, even if the Silver Fox Legion expressed its loyalty to Carter, it could also be regarded as a hostage!
As soon as this rumor came out. Immediately got the full support of the second prince, and he jumped up and down. Looking for people everywhere to help them create pressure on the Silver Fox Legion! In the end, even King Carter was moved! Poor Dao calculated that the Silver Fox Legion would not do this, not just because he was reluctant to have a daughter, but because the identity of the concubine was too embarrassing for them! Most of the people on the grassland were straightforward guys, and they would not accept such a humiliating request!
At this time, it was Prince Sisil who stood up again, and he first announced that Princess Xiangxiang was his righteous daughter. The second prince's thoughts were cut off at once, because now they were brother and sister, and then he announced that whoever can make the first contribution in the battle of reconquest will be able to marry Princess Xiangxiang as his wife!
Alas, the tricks of the poor road have failed again, but they are not without any gain. At least the second prince now hated Prince Sissel, and even King Carter began to be suspicious of him. Prince Sisil's current position is secure because of our presence. If I am defeated, it will be his time to die! It will be his slightest negligence and he will lose the battle. So, in that sense, I've achieved a little bit of success!
However, Prince Carter of the Palace of the Brilliant Tiger King Sisil was not willing to suffer the landlord's losses! After being put in two positions by me, he finally began a sharp counterattack! In the area I occupied, countless rebel organizations suddenly appeared overnight, and it was obvious that they had all agreed in advance, so that they could jump out together at the same time! They waved all kinds of banners and called on people with different ideals to join, but they had only one purpose, that is, to make trouble for me!
Some of them demanded the independence of their own regions, some demanded the restoration of slavery land, some sought justice for the nobles who raided their homes, and some wanted the restoration of the land for Livni. The sun is on, and no one else has this idea in mind, so why are you in a hurry? The emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuchs are in a hurry! Of course, the most troublesome and fiercest thing is to return to Carter!
In the face of these emerging idiots, Poor Dao had already prepared and was not polite at all, and the various departments of the Blue Dragon Legion stationed in various places launched a bloody suppression. The masterminds slaughtered and poked them all, demoted them to slaves, and told them to make trouble again, and let Lao Tzu dig mines! Because the poor road had laid a good mass foundation in advance, both slaves and civilians were better than in the previous days, so not many people followed them to make trouble. So these guys didn't make it to the big climate, they were nipped in the bud, and my loss was not big!
However, don't underestimate the wisdom of Prince Cicell, he also can't make a plan, and he will survive after another. This trick is even more vicious, because his lurking people no longer show their faces in public, but secretly carry out a conspiracy to incite contradictions! The most effective and vicious means is to assassinate and then blame others! Although the means are simple, the effect is very real! The means are nothing more than assassinating the newly liberated slaves to blame the original civilians, or assassinating the original civilians to blame the newly liberated slaves!
The matter of blaming for the blame is also very simple, and it is enough to leave a sentence after the killing, such as 'You damned slaves who are killed,' or 'Go die? The bastards who used to oppress and bully us,' and so on! If there were two cases together, they would still be able to cover up and justify, but if there were hundreds of cases at once, who would be indifferent? So the people on both sides began to hate each other, and spontaneously joined forces to form some mutual aid organizations to protect themselves. These organizations are instigated by each other, and from time to time there are fights. There will be casualties in a fight, so the hatred is even deeper, and in this way, a vicious circle has been formed!
They fought fiercely, but they kept my troops busy, calmed down the fighting on this side, and had to deal with the group fights on that side. How many of my people will be exhausted to death if this continues? It is absolutely impossible to ignore them. If they are in chaos, my grain routes will be blocked, my rear will be unstable, and it is strange that the slaves who joined the army do not mutiny!
In desperation. I had to urgently transfer our trump card from the territory, and the night troops came over. Order them to quickly find out the real culprit, capture him alive and then conduct a public trial, so that Carter's conspiracy will be revealed to the world!
So a duel between the killers unfolded fiercely in the occupied area, and the night troops came this time with 300 elites, and in a short period of time, with the cooperation of the local garrison, they completed the task perfectly! The level of professional killers is much stronger than Carter's temporary cameo killers, and after hundreds of Carter's spies were caught. Use psychic spells to control your mind first. Then he forced a confession, and soon found out the truth of hundreds of bloody cases!
Then it was presided over by Liv Ni herself. In full view of the public, a number of public interrogations were held. After learning the truth, the people finally came to their senses, and after calming down, they pointed the finger of hatred at Carter again. The poor road can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and through this assassination, the distance between us and the people in the occupied areas has been narrowed at once. In addition, the policy of not disturbing the people has always been pursued by the poor road, as well as the righteous act of punishing the evil nobles and distributing the land. Make them begin to identify with their new nationality and new identity!
Stealing chickens was not a success, but Prince Midi Sisirkun Carter did not give up, and he began to make up his mind in the Han Dynasty. Under his arrangement, rumors spread throughout the Han Dynasty, such as 'Long Sutian intends to establish himself as the king', and 'he withheld a large amount of property'! The most laughable thing is that I am colluding with Carter to plot against him, and the evidence is that I released Princess Xiangxiang's brothers and sisters!
Hearing this, Poor Dao really admired Prince Sisil Seed Carter! It was really surprising that the old fellow could think of using this matter to frame me in turn. It seems that I used to underestimate him, the brilliant tiger king!
Carter's prince is an idiot, and so is the king of the Great Han. When he learned about the huge salaries I was receiving. He began to suspect me, and sent someone to carefully investigate my seizure in Carter! After all, paper could not contain the fire land, so how could the flow of a large amount of treasure be completely unrevealed? He first got a report from the spies in my territory, saying that there were a large number of carts and horses in my territory that had recently transported a large number of mysterious materials, and the legend was that they were all treasures! Then he received a report from the scouts in Ica City, saying how many carts and horses entered every day, so the comparison between the two showed how much I was greedy! Damn, the Ishihara family was more greedy than me at the beginning, and I don't see this old bastard angry!
Actually, the total number of things I coveted was really not very large, only one-fifth of all the treasures! The problem was that all I took were fine products, and in terms of total value, it seemed that what I got was several times that of the king!
Originally, it was difficult for anyone to estimate whether the things I took were high-quality or not, and the value was not clear, after all, even Lao Tzu himself did not know. There are so many of them, how can I say that they have emptied all the collections of hundreds of aristocratic families for several generations? But under the encouragement of Prince Carter of Sissel Palace, it is different.
Rumors such as 'I gave the king the rest of the rags, and the king was still stupidly happy', and so on. The most taboo thing about being a king is that some people say that he is stupid, so stupid that he is not aware of being played by his courtiers. Now the king is really angry! If it weren't for those old fellows standing in his way, he would almost have ordered me to be transferred back for examination! Not only would he interrogate the distribution of the spoils, but he would also want me to confess my relationship with Carter!
The sun is on, Lao Tzu has destroyed one of the main army of other people, annihilated 500,000 people, and occupied the land of the thirteen provinces of other people, what else can I have to do with them? I fought hard to fight this bastard, and he treated me like this? If Lao Tzu received this order, I would have to rebel immediately! However, even if I was not transferred back this time, it does not mean that I will not settle accounts with me in the future. My relationship with the king tightened all at once!
And the reason why he was able to temporarily calm his anger this time was the result of my grandfather's request for the king to send local officials to the Carter occupation area under my banner. When he saw me say this, he turned off the fire a little. Still, he's wary of me!
Although the king did not bring me back, he began to restrain me elsewhere. Not only was the reinforcements that originally supported me reduced by half, but even the mage troops I had been asking for were not called! This damn bastard, Lao Tzu was fighting for life and death on the front line, but he was pulling me back in the back, I remembered him, and when the opportunity came, I would settle the account with him again!
As soon as Prince Sisil turned over the rumors, he told me to get hundreds of thousands of reinforcements less. None of the Wang family's guards came, and they were originally going to come for two or three hundred thousand. The White Tiger Legion is no longer moving, and no one in my family's Vermilion Bird Legion can stop it, and it can still come to 200,000. The strangest thing is that the Ishihara family's Xuanwu Legion also has 100,000 people coming, I almost suspect that I heard it wrong, but then I knew what their idea was, they didn't come at all when they were fighting, and they didn't appear until I finished fighting now, and they came to grab credit. What a bunch of bastard stuff!
Alas! Speaking of which, isn't what happened to the poor Dao the same as that of Prince Sisil? After tossing and turning for a long time, our round of secret battle ended in a draw. Depressed, Leng didn't win this old guy!
