Chapter 236 Brigade (Part 2)
Others looked at the surrounding scenery easily and comfortably, while An Zaikang shook his head and talked to himself indulged in the fantasy of how to earn a lot of wealth for his elder brother, which made Ryer Wen Zhide take care of him from time to time to avoid him falling off the horse.
The weather is still cold, but under the early spring sunshine, the buds of the surrounding trees are timid, making everyone feel comfortable. However, this comfortable feeling is quickly broken.
The scouts who spread out from the team quickly ran over to report: "Sir, more than 50,000 infantry gathered in combat posture ten miles ahead. It is obvious that they are directed at us."
Cons first asked the troops to guard them, "Fifty thousand people? Which unit belongs?"
He couldn't figure out why there were so many enemies ahead. From here to the boundary of Haiquan Province, there were three or four county governments. According to the division meeting not long ago, there were only three or four corpses. They had only more than 10,000 people together. Why did 50,000 suddenly appear?
"Everyone was wearing imperial uniforms, and the flags were hung from the Fourth Regiment of the Fifth Brigade of the Haibin Provincial Garrison Division." The scout replied.
"Fourth United?"
Cons immediately remembered the middle-aged colonel he met at the door when he entered the conference room. By the way, the colonel had always been hostile to him during the meeting. How could this happen? Did he offend him?
"Sir, half of the supplies were deducted when we came. It seemed that they were addicted to eating and came to us again." Oak said angrily.
"Okay! It turns out that this guy detained our supplies! I really don't want to live anymore!" Xiang Wen immediately waved his fists and shouted in anger. However, Xiang Wen's voice and appearance were really not suitable for getting angry. So, I could see that An's eyes were shining.
Seeing that his boss was so unbearable, Ryer Wenzhi quipped, "What? The boss wants to change people?"
An Zaikang was also a clever person. After a moment of silence, he understood what Ryer Wenzhi meant. He shook his head hurriedly. Then, when he saw Ryer Wenzhi rubbing his fingers and smiling, his face changed. While throwing out a purse in annoyance, he said viciously: "Don't grab the handle for me!"
Ryer Wenzhi smiled and pointed at Cons. An Zaikang immediately raised his ears and listened.
"Only the flag of the Fourth United?" Cons asked.
"Yes, there is only the Fourth Regiment flag." The scout replied.
"When did the Fourth Regiment have so many soldiers? The meeting has not been over for ten days. In a few days, the corps with 3,000 people have been expanded into more than three brigades?" Cons was a little stunned.
Do you dare to use the troops who are eager to expand like this to block the road and rob? Is it a piece of troop with such a large number on your side?
Weijie, the secret detective leader, had a very flexible mind and immediately knew what Cons was thinking. He hurriedly said, "He must have known that we had brought a large number of supplies from the provincial capital and brought a large number of craftsmen. He also knew that we gave seven thousand veterans to the division commander, thinking that so many of us were just a mob, so he took the opportunity to block the road and robbed."
Okor, who stopped the team and came to investigate, hurriedly answered: "Brother, you can't be soft when you encounter such a thing, otherwise when we return to the territory, all the material craftsmen will be blackmailed! You must beat them up!"
An Zaikang interrupted, "Second brother, we only have 4,000 soldiers, but the other party has 50,000."
Okor smiled and said, "Third brother, you are a businessman. You don't know that the army's combat can't be won by a large number of people. His 50,000 people were recruited in the past few days. It is estimated that the organization has not been completed yet. The soldiers of the original Fourth Regiment are the ones who really work.
"Hmph, even these miscellaneous soldiers who have just picked up their weapons dare to cause trouble for us? How about there are so many people? It's better to fight! As long as one of them retreats, these newcomers will turn around and escape." After speaking, Okor was already excited.
"Well, Oak, Weijie, An Kang and fifty personal guards stayed, and another thousand people in the back team were left. Dingkou team was camped here, and the others and I went." Cons nodded and said.
Although An Zaikang wanted to go and have a look, his martial arts skills can be said to be the weakest among these people, so he had to accept his fate.
"Brother, I'll take Anda with you, and all the other guards will stay to help manage these people." Okol hurriedly suggested. He knew very well how difficult it would be to transfer three thousand soldiers to manage tens of thousands of people after transferring three thousand soldiers. It would be fine if nothing happened, but it would be troublesome if something happened.
Cons of course nodded in agreement with Okor's performance in treating things as his own.
Weijie, who knew that he would stay to monitor Dingkou, suddenly suggested: "Sir, my subordinates thought that the entire army could be dispatched. The combat power of the four thousand soldiers was several times stronger than that of the three thousand soldiers, and it could guarantee victory in the battle."
"Oh? Then how can I ensure the stability of Ding's mouth?"
Of course, Cons knew that four thousand soldiers were much more powerful than three thousand soldiers, but he also had a headache about the tens of thousands of people, but he did not allow them to stay here. He liberated the soldiers to attack the enemy. He was afraid that after a few miles, they would be frightened and fled in all directions when they saw the enemy appear. They were rushed to the sea of people, let alone four thousand, even ten thousand would not be responsible.
"My subordinates think we can trust the official slaves, oh, they are the soldiers' families. Because their relatives are our soldiers, they will never cause trouble and will obey our orders." Weijie said.
When everyone heard this, they felt aroused, yes, if anyone who is the most loyal in the words of these tens of thousands of people is the only ones who are the soldiers.
"Yeah, keep talking."
Cons nodded, it seemed that Weijie had grown slowly.
Seeing Cons's interested gaze, Weijie couldn't help but say excitedly: "We can send weapons to the soldiers' families, and form them with good physical strength, and then ask them to monitor the family members of the craftsmen, and then use them to monitor the more than 6,000 young and strong people. In this way, the most dangerous young and strong people will be restricted."
"Very good, linked together, monitor each other. Well, before our troops left, you can take the personal guards to implement it."
Cons praised.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, using the families of soldiers who were the least disturbed soldiers to monitor the families of craftsmen, and using craftsmen to monitor the young and strong. In this way, as long as there is no enemy attack, the tens of thousands of Dingkou can be ensured to be stable after the soldiers leave.
Okor secretly glanced at Weijie. This smart intelligence leader would be a hidden danger to his future actions.
Organize the young and strong into troops? What will these young and strong who are equal to slaves and bachelors do after obtaining weapons? Be obedient to Cons, who has only 4,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of burdens, should they fight for freedom?
So before returning to the territory and settle down, Cons and the others would never send weapons to these young and strong ones.
Weijie's mission was completed quickly. After all, when he left the provincial capital, Oak had already organized Dingkou according to his origin.
Tens of thousands of Dingkou quickly formed three circles, and in the center was a carriage loaded with supplies. Inside the carriage circle was the family of soldiers, women, children, and weak. The outer circle was able to carry swords. The soldiers who had already received weapons were watched by the family members of the craftsmen. Then there was a circle of young and strong, and the outermost circle was the craftsmen who also received weapons.
Originally, when the soldiers and their families were holding weapons to watch the craftsmen's family, the craftsmen were still in agitation, but under the deterrence of 4,000 soldiers, they could only pick up the weapons and walk to the surrounding area. Since the craftsmen and their families were separated by a group of young and strong men, they had no choice but to accept their fate and watch the young and strong men firmly, so as not to impact the inner circle and harm their families.
Seeing that the matter had been done, Cons immediately left the team with four thousand soldiers. In order to pursue speed, one thousand horseless soldiers had to ride with others. Although there seemed to be three thousand cavalrymen, Cons and the others knew that only nearly a thousand cavalry could be taken out to fight. After the others fell to their noses and faces, they could only ride horses.
As the soldiers left, Dingkou was immediately disturbed, especially those young and strong men were ready to move.
However, after the threat from the inner circle came out, the young and strong settled down again. Of course, Wei Jie and others took their personal guards back and forth to inspect, shocking the evildoers in the crowd.
An Zaikang, who had to force his weapons to follow the crowd, was approached by Ryer Wenzhi and said with a smile: "Boss, why did you and Miss Xiangwen bit their ears when the troops set off just now?"
"Hmph, this is not a handle. I asked Miss Xiangwen to tell her elder brother to take advantage of the victory, and it is best to attack the other party's county government." An Zaikang said with a proud look on his face.
"Invade the county government? Can 4,000 people conquer a county? There are at least tens of thousands of people in a county town!" Ryer Wenzhi said in surprise.
"Hey, have you never heard of the defeat? As long as they are defeated, the new recruits will definitely flock back to the city. It will not be difficult to take advantage of the situation to rush into the city." An Zai smiled.
"Well, this may happen. It's just that it's time to break into the city, and it's definitely a mess. But since Lord Cons is going back to Feidu Peninsula, what's the matter for this city?"
When Ryer Wenzhi said this, he jumped up and shouted: "You are not trying to instigate Lord Cons to rob the city! This is an offense to those powerful people!"
An Zaikang smiled thornyly: "Hey, will I be so stupid? Of course, the powerful people in the city cannot rob, but it is okay to let them work hard for the army. It depends on whether there is enough time. If it is not enough, ignore them.
"As for the treasury in the city and the property of the team leader, and those craftsmen, hehe, I'm sorry."
Ryer Wenzhi said in disbelief, "When did you become so greedy?"
An Zaikang rolled his eyes disdainfully: "Damn! If I am greedy, I will definitely loot the entire county government! But there is nothing I can do about this. You also know that the eldest brother must be developing on the Feidu Peninsula now. There is almost nothing on the island except copper mines. Since that's the case, of course, I will expand my eldest brother's strength whenever I have the opportunity."
Ryer Wenzhi looked around and said in a low voice: "Uh, boss, don't blame me for being too careful. Did you know that you have heard the saying "All birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden"?"
Seeing An Zaikang so focused on serving Cons, Ryer Wenzhi couldn't help but remind him in advance.
An Zai laughed and said, "Haha, "The birds are gone, and the good bows are hidden; the cunning rabbits die, and the lackeys are cooked; the enemy country is destroyed, and the counselors are forgotten; those who are worthy of the world will not be rewarded, and those who are famous will be defeated." How could I not know this warning from the Far East?
"But according to the elder brother's personality, I believe you have the same feeling, otherwise you wouldn't say the previous sentence, but the sentence "The cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook"."
"Yeah, hope so."
Who can guarantee that future generations will change if power is in control? But Ryer Wenzhi will not say more, and it will be a scent of sow discord.
Just think about it, according to Cons's personality, at most, An Zai Kang will not be allowed to do anything. If An Zai Kang's life is not there, there is no need to worry about it.
However, the premise is that An Zaikang will always manage the economy and do not involve military and government affairs.
Chapter completed!
