"Hehe! I don't dare to give advice, but I have a few opinions for the commander's reference. ”

"Old man, please speak. Kong Ming said humbly, this thing is indeed not Kong Ming's specialty, and Kong Ming does not have a specific concept of these things, you must know that before this moment, Kong Ming still did these things as a mercenary commander.

"First of all, the commander must be famous. The old man said.

"Famous teacher?" Kong Ming wondered.

"Famous teacher?"

"Famous teacher?"

"Famous teacher?"

"Famous teacher?"

"Famous teacher?"

As soon as these four words were spoken, all the mercenaries in the hall couldn't help but think about this problem. Literally speaking, it is necessary to send troops to have a name, of course, if this explanation is not enough, you must know that no matter what kind of name it is, this old man will definitely not say that, these old people are from a certain aspect, they are all from some people, and their words must have deep meaning.

"What do you mean by that?" Kong Ming then asked.

Everyone looked at the old man, and everyone wanted to know what these four words were meant to say.

"Hehe, it's like if a person wants to do something for a reason. Why did you send troops to Harvey, for the sake of a moment of anger, or for a more ambitious goal, such as the overthrow of Emperor Harvey? The old man said.

"Hehe, I'm not for a moment of anger, I'm not an angry young man, and I'm not here to overthrow the Harvey Emperor, firstly, I don't have this ambition myself, secondly, we don't have the strength, and the most important thing is that we just want to make some of our small wishes come true, such as striking the Harvey army so that they don't attack the Chaos Land again. Kong Ming thought about it and said, you know, if anyone picks this head, then they will die a miserable death, and Kong Ming really doesn't have this idea.

"Hehe, but you always need a reason to send troops. For example, it is okay to send troops to fight trenches and the like, it doesn't matter what it is, the important thing is that your number must let people know what your army is doing, whether it is like bandits, grab it and leave, or like other military pairs, specifically grab a few people, or grab a few pieces of territory, this is all a reason is needed. And this reason can allow more mercenaries to join you, and it can also allow more people to stand by while you attack a city, which is the main thing. This is the true meaning of being famous, otherwise you will be hit hard to take every place. How long can you support the millions of troops of the Harvey?"

"This really needs a reason. Kong Ming muttered. "And what about the second one?"

"Second, you need a base in the rear. The old man said.

"Rear base?" Ku Ming repeated. This thing is easy to understand, that is, a place is needed, this place is used as the rear of an army, and from this base you can get a variety of things that the army needs, food, clothing, armor, weapons, the placement of the wounded, etc., all of which need an important rear to support, otherwise, that army is a rogue army, and the more you fight, the less you fight, until it perishes.

"A rear base, this rear base can not only get a variety of things that the army needs, food, clothes, armor, weapons, placement of the wounded, etc., he is also a place where he can enter and attack, retreat and defend, this place is also a strategic place, which can recruit a steady stream of soldiers from it and train them to provide a supplement to the main battle army, otherwise, the loss of an army alone will make them disappear. The old man explained.

The understanding of this thing is not too difficult for Kong Ming, and it is even more so for everyone, and there is no deeper explanation for this in my hometown, which is indeed very easy to say.

"What about the third one?" Kong Ming asked again.

"The third is the need to recruit more talent. The old man said.

"More talent?" asked Kuming.

"This talent does not just refer to those great swordsmen and the like, there must be all kinds of talents, such as strategists, wise men, workers, businessmen, etc., these talents who can bring sustainable development, this is the most important point. You must know that mediocre talents are the foundation for the development of a country and an army, and there is a saying that it is easy to obtain a thousand troops, but it is difficult to find one. All in all, talent is what is needed most at the moment. The old man said.

This is indeed the case, Kong Ming knows that at any time, talent is the most critical issue in the competition, but now Kong Ming's thinking is still to block a military disaster for the chaotic land, and at the same time return his own suffering to the Harvey, this time is still a little too early to talk about this. But what the old man said was true. Mercenaries do need too many talents, but Kong Ming also knows that although there are many talents in mercenaries, but for the kind of talents who grasp the overall situation, it should be very few, and it can even be said that there is none, after all, this kind of talent is either in any official position, or just does not want to stay in a small mercenary role, in addition to these two, you can also cultivate yourself, but Kong Ming does not have so much time to cultivate this kind of person, because this kind of training itself takes a lot of experience and time, in fact, the main reason is still in Kong Ming's body, because Kong Ming's current thinking is still in a wandering concept, And his mastery of the mercenaries is limited to the ambition of the Harvey Army, and the others really don't think too much, but the development of things seems to be a little out of his control, and the old man's three construction yì are just a little earlier in the process, even if there is no reminder from the old man, Kong Ming will find this problem after a while. Thinking of this, the old man Kong Minghe gave a military salute and said, "May I ask the old man, what should I do next?"

The old man looked around, and he was about to speak, but Kong Ming knew his concerns, and saluted the guests around, and then said: "Everyone, since we still have some things to talk about with the old gentleman, you are free to do so here, and the regimental commanders and guard captains will go in with me, and the others will accompany the guests here." After saying that, Kong Ming walked in directly, and the old man followed in accompanied by his juniors, and several other people followed behind. Other guests are always a little unhappy to see such a reception, just an old man, just let so many people accompany it, it is really a little unacceptable.

Several people walked into the inner hall, and after Kong Ming and the others sat down, Kong Ming continued to ask the old man for advice. The old man thought for a moment and said, "If we want to talk about it, we should start with Harvey's current situation......"

Since the establishment of the empire, Harvey has always adopted a centralized system, all the decrees are from the central government, and the emperor of the empire is also a hereditary system, and the same is true of other titles, so many years, Harvey's titles can be said to be as many as a cow, and those nobles are also rich and poor, but in any case, one thing that should not be changed is that with the division and sale of land, the wealth of the entire empire has now been concentrated in ninety-nine percent of the people, and those commoners basically rely on these people to live, which is a common disease in all societies, with the deepening of the sale and the rotten use of privileges, making the whole society a pathology. Besides, just like all hereditary systems, the emperor, the head of the entire empire, is often served by a small child, which has caused great disadvantages, if it weren't for the fact that the god-level powerhouse is still there, this empire would have turned over for a long time, but the god-level powerhouse can restrain those who have families and businesses, but they can't threaten those civilians, so civilian uprisings occur from time to time, but every time the uprising reaches a certain level, their leader will always let the god-level powerhouse kill, and those rebels will fall into chaos, and in order to prevent these uprisings from expanding, the Harvey Empire has its own set of methodsto scatter these people, or to kill them. Therefore, the empire sitting on the crater can still sing and dance, and can still fight everywhere, and for the land of chaos, because there are other god-level powerhouses inside, the Harvey army can only stop outside, but cannot enter inside.

Kong Ming thought for a while and said, "No, I didn't see beggars when I was in the imperial capital, and all the villages I walked through didn't seem to be in the same situation as you said. Kong Ming wondered.

"Hehe, it's not strange at all, it's just that you don't know much about the situation in the Harvey Empire. ”

"How?"

"The reason why there were no beggars in the imperial capital was because those beggars were either killed or imprisoned, and they were doing tedious physical work or something else every day. In every village there will be representatives of the empire, they are very powerful, they can distribute the villagers at will, and in order to make their political achievements high, they usually send those who make trouble and do not like the eyes to the city's prison, so that no one will be difficult with them anymore. It can be said that the entire Harvey Empire is under this kind of high pressure, and the Land of Chaos is in a certain way the settlement of those who yearn for freedom in the Harvey Empire, you have been to the Land of Chaos, you should know that although the Land of Chaos is also very chaotic, it is much better than Harvey's country.

......

Kong Ming looked at the old man, what he said did have a certain truth, and Kong Ming also once sneaked through a larger mine to take a look, there are many people there are scary, and every time Kong Ming passes through a small town, those residents see Kong Ming's appearance, they are a little afraid, at first Kong Ming thought that there were fewer strangers in those towns, so he was afraid, but when Kong Ming saw that all the people were like this, Kong Ming thought that only a few small towns were like this, but when Kong Ming walked through so many towns, Kong Ming knew that this was the case for the entire Harvey Empire。 What makes Kong Ming feel strange is that in the Harvey Empire, the military can be used as a class, that is to say, the military has many privileges that ordinary people do not have, and the military has become a special way for many civilians to get out of a life. In fact, in other words, the illness of the Harvey Empire is not small, this is an empire that puts military first, a place of militarism. But what puzzled Kong Ming was that excluding people at the god-level level, why did the Harvey Empire always fail to solve a place like the Land of Chaos, but it could occupy small countries like Chu and Yan?

And the reason why this Guan Pingkou surrendered directly as soon as it was fought is because of this reason, when a country does not treat its civilians as human beings, these civilians will not regard this country as their home, so what obligation do they have to do something they are unwilling to do for a country that oppresses them. If it was normal, it would have been forgotten, because there was an army pressing there, but at this time, they all chose to oppose it.

That night, Kong Ming and the people of these fortresses collectively discussed for a long time, and made several decisions, this decision made Kong Ming one of the few things he would be proud of in his future life. First, Guan Pingkou established its own army, which was composed of the residents of Guan Pingkou and supported each other with the Snow Wolf Mercenaries; second, the civilians of Guanping Kou formed a new government by themselves, and the Snow Wolf Mercenary Corps did not interfere, and the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army was responsible for solving the logistics here, and third, the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army was responsible for annihilating the Harvey Army near Guanpingkou. Fourth, Guan Pingkou sent several powerful guides to lead the mercenary army towards Snow Wolf's next Harvey army assembly point.

"Commander, why don't we form a government on our own? Wei Qian asked. Everyone looked at Kong Ming suspiciously, and Kong Ming also looked at them. The civilians have left, and here are all the mercenary army's own people, Kong Ming said: " The old man was right, if we don't have a stronghold, we don't have a foothold, but he ignored one point, we are a mercenary army, in other words, we fight for money, you can see, the people here are so poor that they are almost going to sell their sons and daughters, if we are still here, we need to share a part of our energy in this place, we do not have this ability at this stage, and we have no time, because this is very close to Harvey's army, we have been here for a day, and the enemy may have been very close to us, so we have to leave here tonightOnce we defeat a part of the Harvey army, then their eyesight will be focused on us, and here, they will subconsciously ignore it, and when they react, the people here may be gone, and you don't want to think about it, in the way of the Harvey army, this place has already surrendered to us, and when they come, will they tolerate these civilians?"

"Then why are we talking to them for a night? Isn't that a pure waste of time? Lian Ping said on the side.

"We talked to them for one night, but we need to know more about the feelings of these civilians and listen to their opinions, and the other is not to think of something for them. You know, we usually don't have much in touch with them, or we don't really have much communication with them. This is what our mercenary army lacks, although we are from them, but we must know that there are different winds and customs for thousands of miles, and who knows if we will fall on this in the future, so it is always necessary to understand in advance. ”

"What's next, Commander?" Lu Hai asked from the side.

"Are the brothers rested?"

"Almost, they've been resting all day today except when they first came in, and they've done nothing else. One of the people next to him replied.

"In the early hours of the morning, at midnight, the divisions set out and assembled five kilometers outside the west gate of the fortress, and the divisions were to keep in touch. We set off overnight. ”

"Yes!" they all replied, and then they left to set out their tasks.

"Didn't you promise them to protect them, why do you want to leave now?" Yiyi said displeasedly.

"Have you ever heard of such a word?"

"What word?"

"Offense is the best defense! We're protecting the Harveys by destroying them, and if anything happens in the meantime, I'm sure they'll get out of here. ”

"How do you know? ”

"Hehe, this is just a place for the exile of errant soldiers, not their homeland, so there is no zài at all, I even think that once we leave here, in the blink of an eye they may go to the land of chaos, of course, there are some people who refuse to leave here, that's for sure. Let's go, take a good rest, otherwise insufficient rest is the natural enemy of a woman's appearance. Kong Ming smiled.

In the early morning, all the mercenaries evacuated the fortress of Guanpingkou. After the mercenaries left, some well-intentioned people walked to the top of the city wall and looked in the direction where the mercenaries had left. I couldn't help but sigh.

"Old Zheng, what are you sighing about?" a man asked the old man who had built a yì for Kong Ming.

"I'm wondering if this Commander Commander Empty Ming might not be in Harvey for much longer. The old man sighed.

"Oh, why?"

"If he has the ambition to make a name for himself in Harvey, then he will definitely establish a stronghold here, knowing that this is a way back to the Land of Chaos, and everywhere else is stuck by the strong armies of the Harvey. Now that he is leaving, it proves that he has no intention of competing with Harvey, and perhaps as he said, they are just mercenaries who fight for money, they are only for the benefit of their employers. In short, his actions directly show us that he has no such thoughts. ”

"That's just your guess, and I want me to say he just doesn't want to die here in Harvey. ”

"Why do you say that?" asked the old man with interest.

"Think about it, what happened to all the people who opposed Emperor Harvey? It's so difficult that it's not better than him, it's impossible, but they're all dead, and the rest can't make any waves. People don't bother to care. This commander is clearly not a man. ”

"What a fool's opinion!" said Zheng Lao angrily.

......

In the early morning, Kong Ming didn't know that there was someone behind them who evaluated him as a person, if he knew, he would definitely cry and laugh, but one thing they may be right, Kong Ming really didn't want to stay in Harvey for too long, because this country brought him an invisible depression, this depression is an indescribable feeling in his heart, not a real pressure. But when he heard yesterday about the death of the leaders of various opposing Harvey's armies, Kong Ming knew, this is because there are too many spies of the Harvey people, if one is an accident, then many times is an inevitability, Kong Ming does not believe that those who oppose do not have sage-level bodyguards, but so many times they died in the same way, it directly shows that the death of those people must be related to spies. In other words, there are Harvey spies by Kongming's side now. Thinking of this, Kong Ming took Yi Yiyi to the top of the mountain and looked at the road below, this is a big road leading from another city to Guanpingkou, both sides of the road are not high ground, it is very convenient for the ambush and assault of demon cavalry like Snow Wolf, and the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army is now ambushed on both sides of this road. As a hospitality, Kong Ming also prepared a lot of stones and wood on the high ground on both sides, which was something that blocked the road, and could disrupt the enemy's formation and create a kind of warplane.

"How about a mission for you?" said to Yi Yiyi after Kong Ming sent the people next to him away. Although Kong Ming still doesn't know if this Yiyi is a magician or a warrior. Because she wears a lot of hand ornaments on her body, these ornaments completely cover her fighting spirit or magic, so that people can't tell the difference. It should be something more advanced.

"Don't be too difficult!" Yi Yiyi also transmitted, and this time Kong Ming finally knew that this Yi Yiyi was a martial artist and not a magician.

"There are a lot of Harvey spies in our mercenary army, and you can't recognize them. ”

"I'm not that competent? You seem to have found the wrong person. Yi Yiyi said angrily.

"Hehe, the only person who can be completely trusted now is you, and the other people have no way to get them out even if they stay with me for a little longer, only you, because you are from Huayuan, and among the five thousand people you brought are completely from Huayuan, these people are credible for the time being, if it takes a little longer, I won't dare to look for you." ”

"Why?"

"Spies are everywhere in Harvey. There's a saying in Harvey's capital, I don't know if you've heard of it?"

"What?"

"Even when you sleep at night, where it falls, His Majesty the Emperor will know. Kong Ming replied.

"What that?" asked Yiyi, puzzled.

"Are you an innocent girl?" Kong Ming looked at her strangely.

"How do you speak?" said Yi Yiyi with some anger.

"Hehe, I'm talking about the man's there. Kong Ming gestured with his hand.

"Hooligans!" Yiyi said with a blush.
