Chapter 297 The Rewarded Brave
Chapter 297 The brave man who rewards him
"Should we listen to that woman?"
The speakers were those who were only responsible for taking their subordinates to guard the outskirts of the Little Ashleff camp, one of the city lords in the eastern Aden. He paid attention to the expressions of others with his eyes.
What they discussed was whether the army should make way for the way as Fatima said. When the army was about to be cleared. At the beginning, Zhao Fubo was still fighting under the cities in the western part of the Aden province. At this moment, not only Zhao Fubo had returned to Hodeida City, but even the Mamluk cavalry of the two thousand Arab legions led by Martin's fleet was only about 50 kilometers away.
This brought the question they had discussed to the present moment, should they surrender to Zhao Fubo, who was said to be "Emperor Aladdin".
In this way, their lives were very comfortable. The supply from the eastern cities continued to come to Aden City. They would not really do anything to fight Aden. At most, Governor Ashleff, who would just look at the front line for him when he went to fight with huge casualties.
The reason why they were difficult to choose was that although the cities on the Western Front had fallen, even the strange fighting style and equipment made them worry.
However, after all, Aden has an army of tens of thousands led by the Lord of the Little Ashleph, and the Arab Emperor actually brought only four thousand cavalry to fight. This is a bit too timid!
"Maybe we are the real force to decide the outcome. So should people who get Aden in the future give us more benefits!"
This question made almost all the city lords in the east lit up their eyes. What is the purpose of living in this chaotic world? What else is needed besides money, land, and women!
"Yes, no matter who gets the wealth from Aden Fortress and has accumulated hundreds of years of wealth, should we all share some of it!"
The interests caused the lords of several big cities in the east to constantly exchange their gazes. What made them happy was that no matter who faced those wealth, they were obviously moved.
"Let's do this, can we send someone to talk to that girl and ask her husband to give us more conditions. Personally, I prefer this new emperor!"
A certain city lord prefers Zhao Fubo, but his words were immediately opposed by those who prefer the little Ashleff City lord.
"I heard that guy has a lot of weird things, but we finally dealt with the Ashleff family for generations. What if they could have as much as that guy gave us? They would even give more. I guess after losing the western cities, he would be willing to give us more benefits!"
Finally, there are people who have a relatively objective understanding of the situation and speak out.
"I want me to say that we will create a battlefield for them to fight. We will cooperate with whoever wins. Although Dinar is a favorite, it is not a good thing if we stand in the wrong direction!"
As soon as someone says something, he immediately gets the approval of others.
"Yes, I think this method is right! Your lords, I don't know if you have ever thought about it. If we take action again when both of them are exhausted, will none of us be competent for the role of Governor of Aden?"
As soon as this was said, almost everyone became silent. As a third party on the battlefield, their strength was not too weak. Although the number of troops of the little Ashlever City Lord was smaller than that of the little Ashlever City Lord, they had never fought any battles except for defending the coast.
As one goes up and down, their strength is not much worse than that of the little city lord Ashleff. If they can make a snipe and clam fight and the fisherman gains a profit, then the city lords of the cities on the eastern front will really make a profit this time.
"This matter..."
This incident changed the city lords of each city from the idea of who was originally exploited to the situation of who was the Lord of Aden in the future. The whole conversation became interesting. Although the city lord with great power wanted to win over one or two helpers to gain the position of governor in the future. Those with less power looked at the faces of the city lords and guessed who could climb up to the big tree.
Obviously, if you take the right path, you will get some benefits from the wealth that has accumulated for hundreds of years in the Aden Fortress. If you take the wrong path, you may even have to get your own city lord in.
"But can we deal with the Aladdin Emperor who is about to occupy the entire western city? And no matter who becomes the governor of Aden in the future, he will probably have to fight with his power!"
This is obviously a far-sighted person. Those who can raise it probably want to see who is interested in the position of Governor of Aden.
"Hey, everyone, it's not that simple for me to consider this!"
A city lord sitting in the corner of the big tent, drinking milk tea in a glass cup, looked as if he was confident and slow.
"You probably forgot that no matter what, we still belong to His Majesty the Caliph of Baghdad in name. If this matter was not recognized by him, I am afraid that no one would be in the position of Governor of Aden, it would not be too stable!"
This is a natural question unless the power occupied here is very strong and also very rich. His strength can prevent the attack of other provincial governors who claim to be kings. The caliph who is rich to Baghdad will give him the appointment of a governor. This is an important prerequisite for becoming a king in the military feudal system made by Saladin.
"Well... this matter... everyone... I think no matter who will be the governor in the future, we still have to deal with the showdown between the two forces. I'm afraid this matter is the topic we will discuss tonight!"
Speaking of what was happening in front of us, the people in the tent stopped talking, and everyone looked at each other. It was obvious that the gold in the Aden Fortress was cute, but anyone who wanted to take the lead against the "Emperor Aladdin" would be a little worried. The thing that was scared in my heart was that if the little Lord Ashleff was defeated by that guy and he took the lead again, don't look at the guy in front of you, and they would open the floodgates and release water behind you, I'm afraid I won't understand how I die.
"I want me to tell you that we can all wait and see if we change. It's not too late to discuss our actions until they decide the outcome!"
The person who had previously drank tea, put down the tea cup and then asked a question.
"But that girl wants us to do what she said now. If we don't do it, I'm afraid this will be difficult to be good! Just imagine, when the army of the Aladdin Emperor will not let us open the road, so what if..."
After each question was set aside, everyone stopped talking, and it seemed that they were waiting for others to make their own ideas. This is politics, it was just a few intrigue conversations.
"If we want to do something, we may only have one chance. It is when they are in war, we will fight against both sides from behind."
In the quiet tent, the four people were shocked as soon as this said. The city lords who were still waiting to change in quietness exchanged their gazes one by one.
"We follow that girl's instructions and let them get entangled. Then we take advantage of the fact that they are both defeated and then take action from behind. I'm afraid this is the only way to do it!"
The city lords were still exchanging gazes, obviously they were not willing to express their opinions now. But then, the city lord who was holding a cup of milk tea, slowly responded.
"Since I came up with this idea, I would like to say that you should be concentrated on me when that day comes. Otherwise, you will want to sell us. What I can guarantee is that after defeating the two of them, we will take action and win, the governor of the province of Aden will be negotiated and elected by us. The elected person needs to distribute the wealth in the fortress of Aden to everyone, and the tax collected shall not exceed one-fifth of the current one. If this is the case, how do you feel?"
Perhaps this man who was drinking milk tea was determined to fight this war. After all, it would be a bit too much to say if the province of Aden was acquired by the army of less than 5,000 people of the Aladdin Emperor.
The city lords exchanged gazes with each other, and their hearts were basically quite similar. Although the things Fatima discussed with them and the development of the current situation in the Aden province made everyone a little worried. But it was really unacceptable to give up the huge wealth.
"Well, I think this is a feasible solution. If we decide to do so, send a messenger to Baghdad after defeating them!"
"I think this is a good idea, too!"
"If everyone agrees, I think you will temporarily lead our Eastern Alliance. Of course, we will not let you work in vain. When you allocate the wealth in the Aden Fortress, you will always be the biggest one!"
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. The city lord who had just been drinking milk tea put the cup in his hand back on the table. He stroked his Muslim beard with his hand and watched everyone slowly nodded.
"So do we all make a great vow, if anyone wants to betray us, we will break through his city and distribute his wealth equally!"
"I swear to Allah!"
"I swear!"
The city lords became excited in an instant because someone led the way to fight for wealth. After all, in the Fortress of Aden, it is always a good thing to have the opportunity to get the wealth that had accumulated for hundreds of years.
"Okay, from today on, we will secretly equip the war. And when that day comes, we will let the army of Emperor Aladdin go over first, and when they are both defeated, we will take action. But the premise is that you all will gather in my tent that day. Whoever doesn't come, we will attack his city and divide his home!"
