Chapter 39 Expedition to Suppress Bandits (1)

Even though Cons doesn't understand arithmetic, he still knows the approximate military situation of our enemy and us after hearing what Isna said.

There are more than 100,000 bandits alone, and the armed forces owned by those landlords and nobles who have bad intentions can win by their own 5,000 new recruits?

Isna saw Cons's doubts and hurriedly explained: "Although there are other reasons, the princess also thought that if she sent large troops to fight, it might trigger the strengthening of unity among the local forces and then stand on the side of our enemy. At that time, it would not be a bandit suppression, but a quellion.

"However, if only five thousand troops are sent, those local forces will not care so much about your existence, but will continue to compete for the power of who will be the main one after the founding of the country.

"This is also why although the rich man in that land had two hearts, he had not rebelled and founded the country yet." Isna explained for the princess by herself.

Why sending 5,000 people to conquer 100,000 people? If it is not explained, it is very likely that officers such as Cons may think that the princess sent them to die.

Isna said this and glanced at Cons, "That is to say, as long as you devour those towns step by step and do not go to war with more than two local forces at a time, the rich men will not take action, but will secretly be happy that there is no competitor.

"In this way, you can slowly consolidate the results of victory, gradually weaken the opponent's strength, and then further eliminate them."

In fact, Isna lies. She was smart and had long understood that the truth of the matter was not as the princess said. You should know that solving these rebellious problems should be done by the entire army, and the best way to suppress the pacification in one go.

At the beginning, the princess obviously underestimated the enemy, which caused nearly 10,000 soldiers to be wiped out.

After knowing the situation, the princess still decided to send a small group of troops to quell the rebellion. Although it was related to the generals' non-cooperation, I thought that the princess also took this opportunity to train Cons well, so she turned to help Cons from other aspects instead of sending additional regular troops.

Of course Isna, who knew the princess's meaning, would not say it out. She looked at the map overnight, analyzed the information, and formulated a plan that could both forge Kons and ensure his victory.

Isna kept explaining until it was dark before leaving with her maid. However, she did not take away the precious maps, and left them all for Cons to refer to.

Cons suddenly forgot everything and all his energy was attracted by these maps.

In addition to having dinner, he stayed in a tent to look at the maps. Cons, who had learned how to view and understand the terrain of the Qihong Kingdom, picked up the world map after he looked at the terrain of the Qihong Kingdom: he really wanted to know which countries exist in the five continents.

The next day, Isna came to the military camp early. This time, in addition to explaining the terrain, she also had military knowledge in the book.

Cons was even more crazy and immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

Whenever Isna left, Cons would find the officers, especially Carlo and Ida, to discuss the new knowledge they learned on the day.

Cons's taciturn image is also slowly changing as his knowledge grows.

There was only one change during this period, that is, one week after Cons started studying, Cons's troops had an additional organization - a baggage unit of 5,000 people.

I don’t know if the military headquarters is too flattering. The huge members of the baggage force are all young and strong men.

With the arrival of the baggage troops, there were also an astonishing amount of food, clothing, weapons and other military supplies carried by hundreds of two-wheeled carriages.

In addition, there is a weapon repair team with more than 100 craftsmen.

Seeing these supplies, Ida's eyes were already shining, and Carlo's words made Ida's eyes spark.

Carlo's words were: "These baggage soldiers are in very good health. With a little training, they can become an army."

Ida, who knew that the operation was extremely short of troops, took his own initiative to organize 5,000 baggage troops into the training plan, and the officers were even more enthusiastic about training these soldiers who were not soldiers.

For a month, Isna spent almost every day in the military camp. Even if she wasn't in the military camp, she was busy in the temple, which made it impossible for the young noble officials to see Isna.

Since Kanata was turned away that time, she did not go to talk to Isna again, but instead made friends with nobles everywhere. However, the residence of the great general Gula was only twice. The few times made everyone think that Kanata and Gula had a bad relationship.

Just one week before Cons went to war, Kanata said goodbye to everyone and was about to return to his country.

Isna had never met Kanata once because she taught Cons, so she felt a little guilty and stopped class once and made a special trip to see Kanata off.

When I saw Kanata, Isna couldn't help but compare him with Cons.

The result is that Cons is not as good as Kanata. But why don’t he feel that way about Kanata?

Isna, a little confused, stayed in her room, playing with the crystal hair accessories given by Kanata, and asked her close maid: "Xiaoqin, what do you think of Kanata?"

This maid is her confidant and her friend, just like Alice and her, saying everything between them.

Xiaoqin blinked her eyes and thought for a while and said, "Miss, he is gentle, polite, elegant, talkative, talented and knowledgeable, and handsome. He is also the prince of Zixin Kingdom. He can be said to be a perfect man and the prince charming in the eyes of a noble lady, but... I don't like him."

Isna, who had already unveiled the veil, couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why?"

This was the first time she heard a girl say she didn't like Kanata; those noble ladies would hate her because Kanata came to chat with her all day long.

"I can't tell why. In short, when you get close to Lord Kanata, you will feel an inexplicable sense of oppression, which makes me want to stay away from him." Xiaoqin shook her head and said in confusion.

After Isna pondered for a while, she blurted out and asked unconsciously: "Well...what is Lord Cons? What do you think?"

When Xiaoqin heard this, she showed a cunning smile and her eyes also showed a joking look, "Mr. Cons? He is a fool, and he has a piece of wood! It is impossible to compare with Lord Kanata. I don't like him more."

Isna was stunned for a moment, because Xiaoqin's tone now was different from when she talked about Kanata just now. She was a puzzled tone just now, and now she was a happy tone.

Moreover, the tone of the stupid Mutou's tone did not feel contemptuous when he spoke these two words. Instead, he felt more like a little girl scolding her little lover who didn't understand the charm.

Isna couldn't help but sigh when she saw Xiaoqin's red face. She originally hoped to use Xiaoqin's mouth to increase the weight of Kanata in her heart and reduce her feelings for Cons, but things went against her wishes, which actually increased Cons' weight.

After spending time together for the past month, Isna's feelings became more complicated and chaotic, but unexpectedly, even Xiaoqin, who was serving tea and pouring water, developed a favorable impression of Cons during this period.

Isna looked at the crystal hair accessories in her hand and suddenly felt "How great it would be if Cons gave it."

She was shocked and hurriedly handed over the hair accessories to Xiaoqin to put them away and decided to go to rest. She knew that it was another sleepless night tonight.

At this time, the main tent of Cons was still brightly lit in the military camp outside the city.

"Sir, are you not giving me a gift to the great priest?" Ida said to Cons, who was busy studying the marching and formation with Carlo. His personal captain is in charge of things.

"Ah? Gift?" Cons, who didn't know the worldly ways, was stunned.

"Yes, sir, sir, sir, have taught you all my heart for nearly a month. Besides, she is your teacher again. You will go to the battle in a few days. You have to give me any gift." Carlo said with a smile.

Ida hurriedly said, "Yes, sir, and I will give you a copy to His Highness the Princess to thank His Highness for your promotion. This is the etiquette of the Qihong Kingdom."

Cons, who had never given anything to anyone, couldn't help but say in embarrassment: "But I don't know what gift to give? What to do?"

"Haha, sir, did your personal captain use it for decoration? Leave these things to my subordinates." Ida said confidently, "By the way, sir, how much do you plan to spend to buy a gift?"

Cons became embarrassed, "I don't have much money."

As he said that, he took out his wallet from his arms and poured it out. Only three or four silver coins were jumping on the table. This was his entire wealth.

Ida was stunned for a moment and slapped his head, "Sir, the money I mentioned refers to the money from the military warehouse, not the money on you."

When Carlo saw Cons confused, he couldn't help but explain with a smile that a division-level army, the military headquarters handed over the one-month expenses to the division commander, including the soldiers' salaries. At this time, the division commander had no salary, because the division commander could spend the money at will, so why do he still need the salary?

"After the princess' order, our troops have been regarded as division-level troops, so we have the financial power of division-level troops. Now, after deducting the fees of each officer and soldier, the military warehouse still has 10,000 gold coins. You can use these ten thousand gold coins at will." Yida explained in detail.

"Then please help me prepare the gifts. You can decide how much you spend. I don't know where to buy the gifts, nor what gifts should I know." Cons handed over the financial control to Ida at once.

Money seemed useless to him. He had given all the gold coins he rewarded last time? If the palace hadn't been responsible for food and drink, he would have gone to the northwest wind long ago.

Ida took the order out, and Carlo shook his head, "Sir, it seems you should understand the power of money."

"The power of money?" Cons was puzzled. Money was just used to buy things. What power does it have?

"Yes, although war relies on soldiers, money affects the course of the war. Most soldiers become soldiers for their salary. If an army that cannot guarantee the salary of soldiers, no matter how powerful or powerful the army is, deserters will appear, which will cause the entire army to retreat.

"The military rations, armor and other materials that determine the outcome require the power of money to maintain it, so the power of money can determine the outcome of the war. When you go there, be careful of those rich nobles, because they have huge power of money."

After Carlo finished speaking, he bowed and left, leaving Cons alone to think about it.

Cons now thinks that Carlo, the middle-aged recruit team leader, is a very strange person.

Be careful of the rich man in that territory. Cons learned from Isna a month ago, and obeyed the order and did not tell others, but the team leader seemed to have seen early in the morning that his enemies were not just those bandits, but also took this opportunity to remind him.

Cons shook his head and continued to read the military books.

Cons, who had basic knowledge of marching and formation, was immersed in the training of command troops all day long. Now he has the awareness of a commander.

Although it was largely caused by Alice and Isna. Moreover, under Isna's conscious instruction, he gradually had the desire to compete for victory in his heart.

Within this month, Isna not only taught Cons military knowledge, but also took the opportunity to instill the attractive charm of the fruit of victory to Cons.

In fact, Carlo has made more or less a contribution in this regard.

Because Cons never dared to ask Isna about those experiences, so in the end Carlo had to explain these experiences to Cons.

However, when explaining his experience, Carlo always strongly expressed his awareness of "war is for victory". Cons has also had this concept after hearing it too much.

As for what he told Ida to do, he didn't ask about it. Until Ida took his own initiative to choose a gift for Cons, gave it to Isna and Alice for him, and brought back their gratitude. Cons then realized that he had given a necklace to the princess and a pair of earrings to Isna.

The day of the expedition finally came. The princess brought civil and military officials to see him off, of course Isna was among them. So Cons led 5,000 infantry and 5,000 baggage troops and left the royal city with the cheers of the people.

Ida's knights were exploring the way forward on horseback, while Cons walked on the national road with his large troops. Although he had mounts, he felt that the soldiers were walking, and he was riding a horse, which was really a bit like that, so he rejected the opinions of the officers and insisted on walking with everyone.

This move made the soldiers feel warm. The team leaders did not ride horses either. Who told them that they were recommended by the soldiers? Why did they have the nerve to ride horses? hf();
