Chapter 34 Temporary Powers (Part 2)
That night, Zhan La was reading the book comfortably at home, but unexpectedly, the door of his study was suddenly opened. Gu La slapped the table and was about to get angry, but he didn't expect that he was not the housekeeper he imagined, but another person who was beyond his expectations.
"Kain! Why are you back? Win? Why didn't I hear the battle report?" Gula looked at her son who was supposed to be on the front line in a daze.
Kane's mouth trembled for a moment and stood there without saying a word.
Gula found that Kane's expression was a little cringed. Although there were no scars on his body, from the outside, he was very embarrassed.
In a mess! Gula's face changed and she gritted her teeth and said, "You were defeated? A bastard! You were defeated? Where is your army? Don't tell me that you were abandoning your subordinates and running back!"
Kane shrank his neck by Gula's hideous expression and took a step back. He heard Gula's words, he nodded and shook his head and opened his mouth, looking panicked and knew what to say.
Seeing his son's appearance, Gula took a breath and calmed down his anger. Then he paced with his hands behind his back and said, "Explain what's going on."
"Dad, I don't know what's going on. After I entered the war zone, I carefully explored the way and set up camps, but I was so careful, but I was inexplicably ambushed by the bandits.
"It was night again, and the sound of fighting was everywhere around the barracks. The entire barracks were blown up, and all the soldiers ran around. I took my personal soldiers and intercepted them desperately was useless. In the end, I had to break out of the encirclement under the guards of the personal soldiers..." Kane said, while carefully looking at Gula's expression.
"Enough, tell me, how many people have you brought to escape from the enemy's encirclement? To be honest!" Gula shouted suddenly and stared at Kane.
Kane opened his mouth and after a while he vomited: "Twenty people."
When Gula heard this, he rushed forward immediately, kicked Kane to the ground, pointed at Kane and cursed: "Okay, there are so powerful that no personal soldiers were left behind, but where is your army? Where did a team of thousands of people go? Ah? They were all captured by the bandit army!
"Damn it! You idiot! You ran away, why didn't you even rescue your officers? This matter has spread, who else is willing to be your subordinates!"
"No, I have a rescue officer, it is Weiner. He came out in the political discussion and said that he would come with me to recover the territory." Kane said hurriedly.
"Is it him? Where is he now?" Gula asked with a frown.
"In the living room, he originally wanted to accompany me, but I asked him..." Kane said with a cautious look down and lowered his head.
"Needless to say," Gula interrupted his son and shouted from outside the door: "Come on, please come here, Lord Vina of the living room."
When Kane saw his father calm down, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. With his father coming forward, he would definitely not be charged with abandoning his subordinates for escaping.
Soon, Weiner came to the study and saluted Gula with some restraint.
Gula didn't say much polite words. After seeing the ceremony, she casually placed her sword on the desk.
When Kane didn't know what was going on, Weiner said rudely, stepped forward, drew out the sword, and drew several swords deeply on him. One of the swords made him break his face. The flesh and scarlet blood that opened made his handsome face no longer exist.
Kane also realized at this time that he could not deceive people if he was intact.
Wiener, who was covered in wounds, handed the sword to Kane expressionlessly.
Seeing the cruel look flashing in the calm eyes, Gula couldn't help but feel that this guy could even act so cruelly against himself, not to mention when dealing with others. Well, he is a fierce dog, you have to hold on to the dog chain.
After the personal soldiers who came back also enjoyed the treatment of self-harm, they took the military medicine bag and bandaged it casually, and then a group of people ran around the manor all night.
It was not until dawn that everyone looked pale, weak and was about to die that Gula took Cain and others to the palace to plead guilty.
Sure enough, at the court meeting, everyone saw the miserable appearance of Kane and others and recognized the description of Kane and others. They all praised Gula as a tiger father without a dog son. Although Kane defeated the war, it was normal to lose under such a huge gap in the military strength. When Kane recovered, he would still lead the troops to fight.
"Sir Gula, what are you thinking?" Alice couldn't help but speak out when she saw Gula not saying anything for a while.
Although Gula wondered why he was suddenly stunned, he pretended to think about the problem and said, "I am wondering if Lord Cons only takes one brigade to suppress the bandits, will the troops be too small?"
"Hehe, I was about to tell you, but I didn't expect you to speak first. It seems that the transaction was successful." Alice sneered in her heart, but said seriously: "Yes, I am worried about this and want to draw troops, but the generals refuse for various reasons. I wonder what Lord Gula can do?"
Hearing this, Gula couldn't help but remember what happened when she had a private party with several generals...
"Hmph, isn't it just an illiterate person who doesn't even know anything? What's so great about it! Even if he kills the enemy personally, it doesn't mean that he will lead the army to fight. Not everyone can be a commander. Who dares to give his soldiers to him with such a person? Send him to death?"
"That's right, let's talk about it, that guy is the front-line commander. The troops sent to obey his orders. Maybe the entire army will be killed by this illiterate person. Whoever is not afraid of death will go!"
After refusing the princess' request to mobilize the army, several generals despise Cons, who served as the frontline commander, in this way.
In fact, the generals were all jealous of Cons being favored.
Think about it, in just a few months, an unknown team leader became the mainstay of a division?
It took me a long time to climb to the position of the brigade commander back then.
This guy just saved the princess, and he just rose up. He couldn't see it! Of course, these words were only circulated among the generals, and the princess couldn't know at all.
The generals did not take the bandits seriously at all, because they were all a group of mobs, and it would be possible to wipe out them at any time as long as the kingdom's army was dispatched.
Now that Your Highness values Cons so much, let Cons take five thousand people to enjoy the scene of facing 100,000 bandits. When Cons is defeated, Your Highness will know who the real general is!
As for whether the five thousand new recruits will be wiped out because of this, no one cares.
There are only five thousand new recruits, no big deal. Such new recruits are really a lot of casually arresting troops, and it is not uncommon to die.
"It's not that the generals are unwilling to obey orders, but the army's tasks are heavy now, and there is no way to draw troops. Please forgive me." Speaking of this, Gula saluted the princess.
When Alice heard Gula's words, she felt tired of it. This old guy had many soldiers and generals, but he just didn't want to use one soldier and one soldier. It's a pity that he dared to boast about his most supportive person.
Although he was uncomfortable, he still raised his hand with a smile on his face and asked Gula to get up, saying that he would not care.
"However, it would be impossible to let Lord Cons lead only one brigade to fight the bandit army. I have a way to solve the problem of troops." Gula knew that the time for the transaction had come, so he spoke.
"Oh, I'd like to hear it." Alice also became interested.
"Actually, this method is very simple. Just give Lord Cons a permission."
"What permission?" Alice asked anxiously.
"Please Lord Cons have the power to recruit prisoners." Gula said in a shocking manner.
"Ah!" Alice and Isna were both startled by these words.
This permission is indeed amazing. People who have respected their own troops in all dynasties have started from this aspect, so no complete regime will allow the army to recruit troops on its own.
Gula secretly glanced at the princess, saw the princess' solemn expression, and smiled in her heart, but she still comforted her on the surface: "This is temporary power. After the battle, all the prisoners incurred must be disbanded. Besides, Lord Cons's logistics is in the military headquarters. Without logistics, no matter how big the army is, it will not cause any chaos."
The reason why Alice's face was not as serious as Zhanla thought, she was thinking: "Incorporating prisoners? This is a good idea. Then she will have a direct army." Thinking of this, Alice immediately agreed with Gula's proposal.
As for whether Cons will be self-reliant? Alice didn't take it seriously. Besides, she also made preparations for precautions.
Then, Alice proposed to form Cons' direct vacancies, while Gula proposed to let Kane take up two months of rest and serve as a new team leader, and demanded that all subordinates like Cons have appointed and removed.
This transaction was implemented quickly without both parties' concern. Finally, the meeting ended in this way, both parties disbanded with satisfaction.
Cons came to the city gate, and this time he stopped horses as before and handed over his identity certificate. After taking it with both hands, the guards took it and looked at it and handed it back to Cons respectfully.
Not long after Cons rode on his horse, he heard the words of the guards behind him: "Do you know? Lord Cons is the front line commander and is going to regain territory."
"Hmph, the whole city knows it, do you think it's only you who knows it?"
"By the way, I heard that there are more than 100,000 bandits and only 5,000 under Lord Cons. Can you win?"
"Hmph! How could you not win? Those guys are just a group of mobs, but there are many people. They are all scattered everywhere, occupying the land and being the king, and they can easily defeat them one by one."
"But didn't it mean that the ten teams sent last time, the entire division's troops were almost wiped out by the bandits?"
"Are you wrong? How can those guys compete with Lord Cons? Lord is the God of War. One person can destroy two or three thousand people!"
"That's it! Why are you so unconfident in your God of War? Let's watch as the Lord is promoted to the commander of the division!"
When Cons heard these words, he smiled bitterly and thought to himself, "God of War? I am just an ordinary soldier." At the same time, he looked up at the blue sky, and then sighed for a long time and said in a low voice: "Oh... I don't know how long it took for me to see the sky like this after I came to the imperial capital..."
While lowering his head, he grabbed the horse's belly and ran towards the palace with his horse.
Cons did not encounter anyone's inquiry and went to the Hall of Conventions. Apart from this place, he had no idea where to look for the princess.
When the official on duty saw Cons, he hurriedly walked out to salute and asked, "Sir Cons, is there anything wrong?"
"Please, I want to ask for your visit to His Highness," Cons said while returning the gift.
Although Cons is now a popular man from the Qihong Kingdom, the officials did not dare to take Cons to see the princess on their own, so the official asked Cons to wait here and go in and report it by themselves.
The princess couldn't see Cons and had to ask before she knew.
Cons stood silently at the door, with a quiet surroundings. It seemed that the prince left after paying homage.
