"No matter what, you can't let me die, and if I don't have enough troops, what will I do against the fifteen countries of the Hanseatic League. "Capos is also very helpless, he doesn't want to fight an uncertain battle.www.biquge.info
Just as the two were arguing, Xiao Cheng walked in with a curtain. Seeing that the two of them were like fighting cocks, Xiao Cheng smiled and said, "What are you two doing? ”
"That's right, Capos is trying to rob you. Xiao Jinchen said.
"Grab me? I'm not a beauty. Xiao Cheng looked at Kapos with a hint of strangeness in his eyes, and Kapos immediately knew that he had misunderstood.
Kapos immediately explained: "It's not what you imagined, it's my sister-in-law who wants us to support the troops, and I led the troops to support in the past but lack the experience of leading a large army, so I plan to let you lead the team." ”
"I see. Xiao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There's no problem with me leading the team, but where are we going?"
"Go to the Viking principalities of the Hanseatic League, where we are going to fight against the Duchy army and take them over. Kapos said.
Xiao Cheng touched his chin full of stubble and said: "Although the Viking Duchy is not as large as the Duchy of Buenos, its area is also one of the best in the Hanseatic League, and its army is at least 100,000, how many people will we bring over?"
"20,000 infantry, not one more. Xiao Jinchen gritted his teeth and finally decided to agree to Kapos's request.
"20,000 infantry?" Xiao Cheng exclaimed: "I said Jinchen, do you think those newly formed infantry have the same combat effectiveness as our cavalry wing? 20,000, you want me to fight five at a time, and they must also be competent." ”
Kapos spread his hands and smiled: "Look, someone is holding me up, it seems that I can't run away with another cavalry brigade." ”
"Don't even think about it. Xiao Jinchen jumped up and shouted, for these cavalry, he is a treasure, and he will never allow others to dig the foot of the wall.
"What do you want?" Xiao Ming, who had just entered the door, only heard the last sentence, which he didn't understand.
"It's nothing, what's the matter with you?" Xiao Jinchen sat back in his chair.
Xiao Ming nodded: "There is indeed something, the royal family has sent an envoy, it seems that he is preparing to surrender, can we see each other?"
"What?surrender?" Xiao Jinchen was taken aback, he didn't expect Grand Duke Buinos to be so weak, he had just been overwhelmed by the army, so he considered surrendering.
"Let the envoys in, and we'll hear their requests first. Kapos was calmer, and he knew it was better to listen to what they were saying before deciding what to do.
Soon the envoy of the Grand Duke was brought in, and he stood there with a rather arrogant appearance, as if he did not pay any attention to the hundred thousand troops outside the city.
"You are the envoy, what are you here for?" Xiao Jinchen had already calmed down, he leaned back in his chair, and looked at the envoy standing on the spot with interest, without the slightest intention of letting him sit down.
Seeing that the other party did not let him sit down, there was a trace of anger on the envoy's face, and he rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "His Royal Highness the Grand Duke is merciful and can't bear to see the lives ruined, so he specially sent me to negotiate with you." The Grand Duke has given you the title of Marquis, and he will give you the village of Rutan as a fief, and as long as you hand over the captured soldiers and land, the Grand Duke will promise to be safe with you. ”
"Fart. Xiao Cheng slapped the table with his big hand and stood up angrily: "Your bullshit Grand Duke hasn't woken up yet, has he? Or is his IQ so low, and now that our army is overwhelmed, he actually let us go back, this is still called a gift? ”
Xiao Cheng's roar startled the envoy, a flash of horror flashed in his eyes, and he was so frightened that he took a few steps back. Xiao Jinchen smiled slightly, he could see that this envoy was also the kind of wine and meat aristocrat, who let them drink, gamble and play with women, all of them were good hands, and once it came to the time of national events, they would all become cowards.
The special use said to Xiao Jinchen in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency, you should be reasonable, the Duchy of Buynos has been guarded by the Grand Duke's family for generations, and the people will not be inclined to you, if you insist on forcibly occupying our country, you will definitely suffer heavy losses." When the people are in trouble, you will not be able to get any benefit. ”
Xiao Jinchen laughed and said: "Put away your set of theories, if the Grand Duke really knows how to be sympathetic to the people, how can we develop and grow in a short period of time, if the Grand Duke is really merciful, how can he crusade against Lutan Village for no reason." Now that they have come to me to talk about the people's hearts, not to mention that the people of the principality have long hated you corrupt nobles, even if the army in the city is now, it is difficult to say how much they really help you. ”
Kapos sneered and said, "That's right, don't be clever here, we don't eat this." What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get with your lips. Go back and tell the Grand Duke that if he doesn't repent, this will be the end. As he spoke, his right hand moved, and a cold light flashed, and the envoy suddenly covered the left side of his face with a scream. Blood poured out, staining the left side of the envoy's face red. It turned out that as he spoke, Kapos unsheathed his sword and cut off the envoy's left ear.
Holding back the huge pain from his ears, the envoy's painful beads of sweat rolled down, and he couldn't care about strong words anymore. Kapos waved his hand and said, "Come on, throw this guy out of the barracks and hand it over to the servants to bring back." Tell them that if they don't surrender unconditionally tomorrow at noon, we will send troops to attack everywhere, and it will be too late to surrender. ”
The screaming envoy was taken out by the soldiers, Xiao Cheng frowned and said, "The third young master seems to be a little too cruel, will this make them resist desperately." ”
Kapos smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, the Grand Duke can send such an envoy, which is actually a sign of his weak heart." The best thing to do for these timid aristocrats is to threaten them with death, and if you are cruel enough, they will be so frightened that they will give up everything and just want to save the dog's life. ”
"That's right, you can't be too merciful with these people, and the more pleasant you are, the more arrogant they become. To deal with this kind of guy, you should punch and knock over, and then stomp on it hard. ”
As they expected, the next morning the Grand Duke of Buenos went out of the city with a large number of nobles and surrendered, and all the 20,000 defenders in the city were disarmed and waiting to be collected. Since these nobles have surrendered, Xiao Jinchen naturally can't kill them all, after all, he still needs a good reputation, lest no one dare to surrender in the future.
After depriving most of the property of these lords, the nobles and their families were sent to live in a small mountain village near the sea, and were set up by Shanzi and others outside the village, so that it was difficult for others to enter, and these nobles could not go out.
