Liang Xiao stood up and walked to Old Andrew's side.Old Andrew rolled up his sleeves and was washing his war horse, and when he saw Liang Xiao approaching, he hurriedly stopped what he was doing and bowed."
What a good horse."
Liang Xiao stroked the horse's neck and praised: "Riding on the back of such a horse, you are not afraid to go all over the world." ”"Haha, the lord is right, it is indeed a good horse.However, a good horse must be served attentively, otherwise it will be wronged. ”Liang Xiao frowned.Guo Wenbin rushed over and translated Old Andrew's words to Liang Xiao.Liang Xiao nodded again and again.It dawned on him that it might be time for him to learn some Greek and Latin.In the future, you will have to deal with a large number of Greeks, and you will not be able to rely on translators all the time."
Old Andrew, a warrior like you, how many more Dawan are there" Old Andrew pondered for a moment, then crossed his fingers and counted for a while."
There are not ten thousand, but eight thousand.""
So much" "That's not much.Before the arrival of the Yue, Dawan was a county of Bactria, with only a few garrison troops, and most of them were transferred by Oklatides I to conquer the south. ”"Then how many people can you recruit now" Old Andrew's eyes lit up: "How many people does the lord need" Old Andrew's enthusiasm exceeded Liang Xiao's expectations, and it seemed that he was eager to recruit all his old comrades-in-arms to serve Liang Xiao.Liang Xiao was a little frightened by him.He hurriedly stated that at present, he just wanted to recruit more attendants to ensure safety, and he didn't need too many people, at most two hundred was enough.Old Andrew was a little disappointed."
If the lord is worried about money, we can not be paid for the time being, as long as we can fight together.The old country is dead, and we are left with these comrades-in-arms of the same blood.Fight with them, even if we die in battle, we will not be alone. ”"Don't worry, there will definitely be a chance."
Liang Xiao solemnly promised."
Just give me a little time."
Old Andrew had seen the world after all.Nodding again and again, he immediately went to discuss with other partners to meet Liang Xiao's requirements for two hundred people first.Liang Xiao found Guo Wenbin again.Old Andrew said that money is indeed a problem, even if these Greeks don't want to be paid.Basic expenses are also a big problem.It costs a lot of money to eat, drink, and Lazar hundreds of people every day, and he will definitely not be able to support him without a sufficient economic foundation."
How much more than the 10,000 gold raised?"
and "There are more than 1,300 more." ”Liang Xiao frowned.In addition to the more than 5,000 gold purchased from silk and silk weaving, the remaining more than 3,000 gold was used on these forty or fifty people.How much does it cost to raise 200 people Hearing Liang Xiao's idea of expanding his enrollment, Guo Wenbin thought carefully for a while."
I can solve the cost of two hundred people, and if it is more, it will be a little difficult.My lord, the expenses of people are limited, and the expenses of horses are the big problem.Dawan horses are very particular about feeding, and they can also graze in peacetime, but they must use concentrate in wartime.The cost of a horse is equivalent to five or six people, and the cost of a high-class war horse is doubled.Inadequate feeding.These horses don't work. ”Liang Xiao nodded.These days, although he doesn't have to feed the horses himself, he has witnessed how old Andrew and others are waiting for the war horses.This team of less than 50 people has more than 70 war horses, and the money eaten by war horses every day accounts for most of it.This is still peacetime, more in wartime.If you want to recruit two hundred men, you need five hundred horses, which is equivalent to the expenditure of three or four thousand, in the form of half of the horse, and one horse of the infantry.No wonder with the accumulation of seventy years of the Han Dynasty.Just a few battles and spent it cleanly.It's a bottomless pit."
It's a long-term thing."
Liang Xiao said: "However, if we want to gain a firm foothold here, we can't do it without our own strength."
Tuban is dead, and the Wusun people are likely to be anxious.If we don't have enough strength.Maybe without the Wusun people's hands, the Dawan people will kill us. ”"What your lord says is very true."
Guo Wenbin scratched his head."
However, the Wusun people are vassals of the Huns, and since we have decided to fight the Huns, sooner or later we will have to face the Wusun people.Furthermore, the purpose of the adults who came here from thousands of miles away.Isn't it precisely to contain the Wusun people, and then drag down the Huns, now this goal is about to be achieved, and it is even smoother than we expected, so we should be happy. ”Liang Xiao laughed.Indeed, at that time, he only put his hopes on the Yue's people, and now it is possible to bring Dawan and even Daxia Bhaktria in, which is simply beyond expectations."
Well, you can figure out how to raise as much money as you can.I'll talk to you about it again and see if he can support some.I guess he's scratching his head right now, too. ”Liang Xiao thought for a while, and then said: "You contact Nie Yi to see if you can send a message back, so that the family can rest assured, and let the court know that we are still alive." ”Guo Wenbin responded and turned around to arrange.Liang Xiaomu saw Guo Wenbin leave, beckoned Tu Niu'er and said, "Let's go, accompany me for a walk by the river, I still have some things to consider." ”Tu Niu'er followed, looked around, and whispered, "Ah Xiao, let me ask something." ”"What's the matter?"
"Do you feel that you have a lot of strength in your legs now" Liang Xiao blinked."
No, I don't feel that way.""
But how could you have kicked off the arm of the horned warrior, and that you were restrained by him.I tried it later, and even if it was me, I might not be able to kick it off.I asked Dahu to try it too, and Dahu also said it was unlikely. ”"Yes," Liang Xiao couldn't say why.At that time, he was too nervous, although the Wusun people died, the Dawan people were still watching, he just wanted to return to the horse as soon as possible, where did he have time to care about anything else.To say that the power of his kick surpassed that of Tu Niu'er and Pang Shuo, even he didn't believe it very much.I've been scratching my head lately.Liang Xiao killed Tuban and exposed the conspiracy of the collusion between Cicada Feng and Tuban, and he won a great victory in the court, defeating his old enemy Cicada Feng in one fell swoop.However, in the face of the possible attack of the Wusun people, he also did not have a good solution.Dawan is not Wusun's opponent, this is a well-known reality, even Yu Cai himself cannot deny it.Therefore, many powerful people accused him of luring wolves into the house, offending the Wusun people, and it is likely to bring disaster to Dawan.In the face of surging public opinion, Wu Cai has no bottom in his heart.He could only appease the widow as much as possible, and on the other hand, he urgently went out of the city to discuss with Liang Xiao.The two walked along the river, talking as they walked.After listening to Wu Cai's worries, Liang Xiao laughed: "Vice King, we Han people have a saying, it is a blessing not a curse, and a disaster cannot be avoided."
Crisis, there are dangers, but also opportunities, don't you say" Yu Cai looked at Liang Xiao, and felt a little relieved in his heart, and then he was a little ashamed.He is nearly forty years old, and he is the vice king of Dawan Kingdom, and he still has to ask a Han boy who is not yet twenty years old how to protect Dawan Kingdom, which is really faceless."
Liang Jun has a plan" "I have a plan, but I still need the support of the vice king." ”"Liang Jun, please speak.""
First of all, you still need to be hard to strike iron, if you don't even have the courage to resist, it's better to ask the Wusun people to surrender as soon as possible.""
Although Dawan is weak, he is not willing to rely on others, if he can fight, of course he still has to fight."
Liang Xiao bowed slightly.Although he was not very resolute, at least it showed that he was unwilling to bow down to the Wusun people.That's a good thing."
In fact, Dawan has the best war horses and tens of thousands of warriors, even if Wusun comes to attack with all his might, he may not be able to win.What's more, he has an old enemy on the sidelines. ”Wu Cai suddenly realized: "Yue's" "Yes.The Yueshi people once destroyed the country of the Wusun people and killed the arrogant father king, so it was impossible for him to leave the Yueshi who was close at hand and attack Dawan first.Even if he attacks Dawan first, I'm afraid it's to use Dawan's manpower and material resources to fight against the Yue Clan.Therefore, the people of the Yue clan would never want to see Dawan being taken into the pocket by the Wusun people. ”Wu Cai nodded again and again, his expression much more relaxed."
Vice King, I want to go to the Yue Clan and do everything possible to persuade the Yue Clan to ally with Dawan and fight against Wusun together.""
Okay, then it's hard work Liang Jun.I ask the king for instructions and send for you to escort you.There are often thieves in the desert, and Liang Jun carries heavy gifts, so he can't do it without protection. ”"However, except for the vice king, I have little confidence in the nobles of Dawan.""
Otherwise, I'll arrange people" "Vice King, you need trustworthy people more than I do now. ”Liang Xiao smiled: "This brings us to the second question I said.Tuban is dead, and sooner or later the Wusun people will be suspicious.Regardless of whether it is a battle or a surrender in the future, the vice king should be prepared.At least you should send someone to control the mountain pass first, don't you say?"
He was not very enthusiastic about war, and he was not very good at it."
Don't worry, I can leave two people to the vice king, they both have experience in commanding troops, as long as there are hundreds of elites, it shouldn't be a problem to hold the mountain pass.Vice King, if you can repel the Wusun people and protect Dawan, this credit is not small. ”Cai Cai's heart was pounding.Cicada Feng has been defeated, if he makes military achievements, wouldn't his position in Dawan Kingdom be even more solid, "But Liang Jun's safety can't be ignored." ”"I want to ask the vice king to allocate me some military salaries and equipment, and I will think of a way to recruit some veterans to protect my envoy to the Yue clan.Once the war breaks out, I will lead them to follow the vice-king and serve the vice-king.I don't know what the vice king wants" Mo Cai turned his head, glanced at Liang Xiao, and laughed."
I feel much more at ease to have a warrior like Liang Jun to help.Okay, how many people are you going to recruit, is two thousand enough" Liang Xiao secretly praised in his heart: My day, this product is very rich, as soon as you open your mouth, it is two thousand in Dahan, and two thousand people are one, at least you have to be a school captain to be qualified to lead so many people, maybe you have to be a Zhonglang general.Liang Xiao hurriedly thanked him.In order to avoid Wu Cai worrying that he would sit big, he offered to recruit two hundred people to go to Yue's clan first, and the rest of the people would stay in Dawan and accept Wu Cai's orders, and Liang Xiao arranged two friends to help him command and train yznn:
